North Carolina. Do we love it? …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Do we…? Beautiful. Beautiful.
So, here's the story. We have to decide. They said, “would you like to come out now, Mr. Trump…or wait 10 minutes? There are thousands of people outside. Just like that's filled up; this is getting filled up as we speak…-MR. TRUMP POINTS AT THE STANDS. Should I wait or should we start now!? …-THE CROWD CHERES AND APPLAUDS. Start! We're gonna send away 4,000 people. That's not good. Anybody wants to give up your spot? …-THE CROWD YELLS “NO!”. No!
So, I wann thank everybody. This is incredible. You know, we had an incredible night last night, right? …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. And even the very, very dishonest media. These are the…most dishonest…human beings. And even the ones that truly disliked me, of which there are many. They said, “Trump had a very, very big evening”…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. And…we did. We had an amazing evening.
And I'll tell you what, Mississippi? Those people were incredible. Michigan…the Michigan people…; I said, “trust me”. You know, a lot of their business has been taking away, folks. It's been taken away. Like it's been taken away down here. It's been taken away all over the place. And then, I got up in the morning, and I said, “oh, wow! Hawaii! We won Hawaii too”. That's beautiful. [It’s a] Beautiful place…-THE CROWD CHERES AND APPLAUDS. We have a big hotel in Hawaii. It's a…it’s just a one of the most beautiful places.
So, I just wanna thank. The people of those three places are spectacular, and they get it! And we didn't win by a little bit. We won by landslides! Landslides! …-THE CROWD CHERES AND APPLAUDS. Mississippi, Michigan, Hawaii…thank you all very much.
You know…uh…it’s sort of interesting, because lying Ted Cruz came up and he said, “I'm the only one that can beat Donald Trump! I'm the only one”. And, you know, it's sort of…-THE CROWD BOOS. MR. TRUMP LAUGHS-…he’s not…he doesn't know how to win. He doesn't know how to win.
And it sort of funny! He'll say, “I beat him a couple of times before…!”. He's always saying…and he'll come in with the Bible, and I'm a great Christian. But he'll come in with the Bible, and he’d hold it up high…! …lying Ted Cruz. He'll put the Bible down, then he’ll lie! And I say, “what are you doing!?”…-THE CROWD LAUGHS TIMIDLY. He lies! I've never seen anything like it.
But, here's what's happened. Hello? Oh, oh…! Oh…! [It’s] So early! [It’s] So early! …-THE CROWD BOOS. THERE IS A PROTESTOR. All right, get him out! Thank you!
We're gonna have such fun…! We're gonna have such fun tonight…; all right, get him out, thank you. Do we love our police? Our police are great, right? …-THE CROWD CHEERS TIMIDLY. We love them.
First of all, I wanna welcome…all of the people…the incredible military, talented, and it is talent indeed, from Fort Bragg! Where’s Fort Bragg? Come on! …-THE CROWD CHERES AND APPLAUDS. Fort Bragg, that’s tough stuff! They do a great job. But the military, [they’re] amazing.
So, here's what we've done. We started off, and…on June 16th, [I] came down the escalator, and…we…I’ve never done this stuff before, folks, in all fairness! You know, one person did…-THE CROWD MUTTERS. Hello! Hello! …-THERE IS, APPARENTLY, ANOTHER PROTESTER. THE CROWD BOOS. All right, get him out! Thank you. Get him out. Oh! Get out of here! Go home to mom! …-THE CROWD CHEERS. Nasty! Nasty!
Why are they allowed to do things that we're not allowed to do? Can you explain that to me? Really a disgrace. All right!
So, we started out on June 16th, and since then, just about since then, we've been…and I say ‘we’. It's not me. It's you! It's all of us together. We've been number one almost right from the beginning. And…-THE CROWD CHERES AND APPLAUDS-…look at that list! …-MR. TRUMP SHOWS A PAPER HE’S HOLDING.
We've won, since then, and in most cases by landslides: New Hampshire; South Carolina; Nevada; Georgia; Alabama; Tennessee; Virginia; Vermont; Arkansas; Massachusetts, home of Tom Brady…-THE CROWD CHEERS. You know, we got a big vote in Massachusetts…; but, you know, Tom Brady said great things about me. Tom Brady likes me, and I like Tom Brady. And in Massachusetts. you can't do better than Tom Brady. Do we agree? …-THE CROWD CHEERS TIMIDLY. And he's a…and, by the way, he's a great guy.
…Kentucky; Louisiana; Michigan; Mississippi; and Hawaii…! …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Wow!
So, we've been winning a lot. And now, this…week, we have…Florida which is an amazing place. You know, I mean…it's gonna be amazing. And we, as you know, we have Ohio, where you have an absentee governor…-THE CROWD BOOS TIMIDLY. Absentee. And we're gonna have…no, we're gonna have…I think we're gonna do great in Ohio. We’ll do great, great, great in Ohio. And we have…who else do we have!? We have North Carolina! Right? …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
And we have Illinois! No, we're gonna…we're gonna have a big…; I think we're gonna have a fantastic week. And we're gonna see it…; is there's somebody disturbing us up here!? Where? …-MR. TRUMP TURNS AROUND. THE CROWD YELLS ‘YES!’. THEN THEY CHEER FOR MR. TRUMP.
So, new ratings came out, and new polls came out today. And it didn't include last night! Cause that was…you know, pretty late in the morning. Although I will say this: in Michigan, it was like…instantaneous. They opened at…eight! They said, “we have a projected winner”. Mississippi the same thing. And Hawaii the same thing. But that was five hours later. So, that was good. But, the new polls came out. And we're winning in Florida big league, like by…a lot…-THE CROWD CHERES. We're doing really well here!
And a lot of you…polled…I don't know if you know. I have a lot of people that work for me…in North Carolina, by…Lake Norman. We know Lake Norman…-THE CROWD CHEERS. And, we have a great…; and I'm probably the only presidential candidate that ever came here that can say, “I employ a lot of people in North Carolina!”, and, we take care of those people…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
So, it's…it's…it’s…really fantastic. I just wanna go over a few things. And, uh…it's…so good to be with you. A friend of mine came up to me, [a] very successful guy, [and] he said, “how do you do this in front of all these people? You don't read speeches. You don't have teleprompters. How do you do it?”. This guy is worth a fortune. I…use him as one of the people to negotiate against…China…! …Japan! …Mexico! I could name countries…; I could go on all night long with the countries that are taking advantage of us, cause we have nobody to protect us. And we're gonna protect our jobs, and we're gonna protect our factories…; and we're gonna protect our people! We're not gonna let this happen anymore!
You know, Carrier…just announced they're moving to Mexico. And they're gonna make air-conditioners…-THE CROWD BOOS. And they're gonna sell the air conditioners back to us. We have 1400 people that we’ll let go. Great people. I saw them. Somebody had the iPhone going. So, they let go 1400 people, and folks, it's not gonna happen like this anymore. They're gonna go into Mexico. They're gonna make air-conditioners. They're gonna sell them right through the border, because, you know, by that time, if I have it, we're gonna have a very, very big…and powerful wall! We’ll have a wall! We're gonna have a real wall. And who's gonna pay for the wall!? …-THE CROWD YELLS ‘MEXICO!’. Who!? …-THE CROWD YELLS ‘MEXICO’ AGAIN BUT LOUDER’.
So, no, we are.W e're gonna have a serious wall. We're gonna have a real wall. We're gonna stop the drugs from pouring into this country…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS-…like we’re…like where garbage, they treat us. Like we're garbage. We're gonna stop the drugs from pouring in.
You know, when I was up in New Hampshire, and they were the first ones. They treated me so incredibly. And we won by…a landslide. And people were saying, “what's going on here?”. Cause I was about to say, before, I've never done this before! I'm not a professional politician. I'm running against people that have run for office their whole lives. And, I was told…! It's…tough. And it is tough. And I was told, if you're a very successful person, you can't do this. And it is a…sort of a weird kind of a thing.
But, I told my friend. I said, when I make speeches, there's so much love in the room [that] it's easy, number one. There's so…much…love…in these rooms. It's easy! …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.  It really is! It's easy! And, you can help people!
So, I told the people of North Carolina, which was a big thing to me. I'd go and I'd see these magnificent woods, and the beautiful little roads, going through valleys, and…lakes, and…everything was beautiful. And the biggest problem they have is heroin! And I'd go to meetings and I'd say, “what's your biggest problem?”.
“We have a tremendous drug problem”, they'd say.
And I'd say, “really!?”. And after…two months of this, I said, “we're gonna fix this problem. We're gonna stop it”. And the drugs come from the southern border. And they go up there, and it's like selling water! And they have so many people addicted. And it's all over! You have it too. We all have it.
But for some reason…we all have it! All over this country! For some reason, New Hampshire has it where it's like…their single…biggest…problem, and it's…just poisoning their youth, and other people. And I told them. I said, “we're gonna get that problem solved, folks”. We're gonna get that problem solved…-THE CROW CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. And I mean that.
When I first came down, and I rode the escalator with my wife, I took a deep breath. Cause it takes guts to do this. Believe me, to run for president…? It takes guts. Especially when you've never done it before! I've done a lot of things…!
You know, I filed papers with federal elections. I built a massive company. Believe me, and if it wasn’t, you would have been reading about it from these characters. We built a massive company…-THERE IS A SUDDEN NOISE FROM THE CROWD. Oh no! …-THE CROWD BOOS. Isn't this exciting!? Don't you love it!? I love it! I love it! Look at those cameras! Look at how they turn! Look at those cameras turn! Go ahead, follow him all the way up now, cameras.
Wow! What a crowd! Wow! …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Look! Total sellout there…! Look at…look at what's happening behind! Thousands of people are coming in here. Look up behind! Look at those bleachers! Look at that! Unbelievable! Unbelievable! …-THE CROWD CHEERS. Oh, we love you.
 I actually love the people that are farthest away the best! You know that!? …-THE CROWD IN THE DISTANCE CHEER. But you know to show you, and to show you how bad it is, I had a little fun a few times. And I said, “[do] you love Trump?”. And the place goes crazy. Look…and I'm really you. I'm representing you. I'm your messenger. Believe me. This isn't about me. This isn't about me.
And…we were in a couple of different places, recently, where we had crowds like this! They're all like…I mean, we have massive amounts of people. And I said, “do you love Trump?”.
And they said, “yes”…-THE CROWD CHEERS TIMIDLY.
I said, “are you gonna vote for Trump?”. Now, don't forget. You vote on Tuesday. You vote on Tuesday. But, and…and this was disgusting. And I actually had a big reporter tell me today. It was the most disgusting thing they've ever seen.
So, I said…and we're having fun! And we're talking! Don't forget. The subject isn't fun. Because the country is doing lousy, okay? But, we are having as much fun as you can have with a bad subject, right? But the subject is going to be good! Because it's make America great again, and that's a positive message. [It’s]Not a negative message. Remember that…-THE CROWD CHEERS. So, it's a positive message.
But, this crowd was really effusive, and there was a lot of love in the room, and…I said, “so, do you love Trump…?”.
“Yeah”
They…I said, “do you promise you're gonna vote for me!?”. And they said…-A MEMBER IN THE CROWD YELLS ‘I LOVE YOU TRUMP!’. MR. TRUMP ADDRESSES IT. Thank you. I love you too, darling…-THE CROWD CHEERS TIMIDLY. MR. TRUMP GIGLES. Good. Thank you. I love you! See? Hispanics for Trump!  They love Trump! …-MR. TRUMP HAS JUST READ A SIGN, APPARENTLY. THE CROWD CHEERS. We have that. We're winning every poll with the Hispanics, so it's great.
But, you know, so I'm in the room and I say, “you loved Trump”,
“Yeah”.
We have a big election, it’s on…Tuesday, you have to get out. By the way, speaking of that, on Tuesday, please go out and vote.
So, I said, “if you really love Trump, raise your right hand”. And they raised their hand. I said, “do you swear that you're going to vote for Trump!? And they’re all laughing, and having fun, and they swore. And that was the end of that! We all had a good time! I said, “I won't even hold you to it”:  You saw that. I won't even hold you to it. But everybody raised their head.
The next day, on The Today Show and on…they said, “it reminded us of Hitler! It was Nazi! It was this…”…-THE CROWD BOOS. No, no, think of it! Think…; These people, they are the most the most dishonest people in the world…-MR. TRUMP POINTS AT THE CAMERAS. [MOU1] 
They said…and…and, by the way, you had to see these hands. The hands were like this, the hands were like that…they were open up, they were having fun…; and, the next day, they said…it…we got a call! Like…two nights later , “does that have anything to do with Nazi Germany?”.
I said, “are these people crazy!?”. And then they had it on The Today Show…and if it…; and actually, a very good, and actually a liberal reporter said to me today, “that was the most disgusting thing I've ever seen as a journalist, when they tried to make that look like that”.
So, I just wanna tell you, folks. I love you I probably won't ask you to pledge that you'll vote for me, because they'll say…that it was a horrible thing…-THE CROWD BOOS. [Do] You wanna do it? Okay!
State your name…-THE CROWD CHANTS ‘TRUMP!’ REPEATEDLY-…do you pledge…!? Thank you. Thank you. Do you pledge that on Tuesday, you will go, and we will make America great again!? And you will vote…for Donald Trump…!? Yes!? …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Thank you, everybody. We love you. [You’re] Special people. [You’re] Special people. And that's done in and fun, and we'll have fun. But, you know, we're not gonna just play games. We are gonna make America great again, by the way. We are seriously going to make America great again.
 
…-THERE IS A SUDDEN NOISE, APPARENTLY ANOTHER PROTESTER. Oh, that's all right. Get out! Get out! Get out! Look at those cameras turn! Look at those cameras turn! They're like pretzels! They are like pretzels! I love the protesters.
You know, the only way…now everybody's talking about how massive these crowds are. The only way they find out about the crowds…the only way, is with the protesters, right? The only way. So, I just wanna thank you. Thank you very much. And thank you to the police, great job…-THE CROWD BOOS. It's amazing…-THE CROWD BOOS AND CHANTS ‘TRUMP’. THERE SEEMS TO BE MORE PROTESTERS. It is amazing.
You know, the funny thing is, what do we really want? We wanna have a good home for our family. We want security. We want a good military. We wanna take care of our vets. We want education…! …-THE CROWD CHEERS TIMIDLY. We wanna get rid of Common Core, bring it back locally, right? [It’s] So important.
And, you know, you think that people would say you wanna have a good living! You wanna have a job. We don't have our jobs! Our jobs are being shipped away! Our jobs, our good jobs, are being all shipped away. And when you think of it, we all…want…the same thing, including these couple of characters that…get shipped out here. And the sad part is, they're like individuals! [Did] You ever noticed? It's one here…one there…; And tomorrow, you'll read in the paper, “Trump has protests”. Ah, look! An individual! …-THERE IS ANOTHER PROTESTER. THE CROWD BOOS. Just an individual.
So…[do you] see? In the good old days, this doesn't happen! …-THE CROW CHANTS ‘TRUMP!’ REPEATEDLY. What's more fun than a Trump rally, right!? …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APLAUDS.
In the good old days, this does it happen, because they used to treat them very, very rough. And when they protested once, you know…it…they would not do it again so easily. But today, they walk in, and they put their hand up, and they put the wrong finger in the air at everybody…and they get away with murder, because we've become weak! We become weak. And we really have become weak. Just like our military, we've gotta take care of ISIS, folks! We gotta knock them out! We gotta knock them out! [We’ve] gotta knock them out!
You know, you may have seen that…uh…they were asking…during one of the debates, they were asking about…Ted Cruz! They called on Ted Cruz. And they talked about waterboarding. And they said, ‘what do you think about waterboarding?’, essentially. And he didn't wanna answer the question, because…it…he thought it was like…you know, maybe controversial, and he was not so good. [It was] Not so good.
And then they turned to me, “what do you think?”.
I said, “I'm 100 percent in favor of it” …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. 100 percent. 100 percent.
And…you know, we have to stay within the laws. Now, we have laws, right? They don't have laws! [Do] You think [that] ISIS has laws!? …-THE CROWD YELLS ‘NO!’. Do you think ISIS says… “oh, well we're not allowed to cut off heads anymore! We're not allowed to drown people in…in these…these massive steel cages”, where 40, 50, 60 people…they dump it. And they pull it up a half an hour later with 50 people, and they’re dead. Right? Do you think they sit back and talk about the laws!? Do you think they sit back and talk about… “well, waterboarding…maybe a little bit tough…and maybe a little bit…”. I don't think so, folks!
You know, if we're gonna win these things, we gotta fight them on a very, very…much more level playing field, or…you're not gonna do anything. You're not gonna do anything…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
So, we have to expand our laws, and we have to do what we have to do. We have to do what we have to do…-THERE IS A NOISE IN THE CROWD. APPARENTLY ANOTHER PROTESTER. THE CROWD BOOS. THEN, THE CROWD CHANTS ‘U.S.A!’ REPEATEDLY.
[Do] you see what he's gotten written on his very, dirty undershirt? Did you see? [It] says ‘love is the answer’. And it a certain way he's right! Love! Love is a great thing. ‘Love is the answer’, he's got written. I wonder who makes with love, there…I…forget it…-THE CROWD LAUGHS TIMIDLY. All right.
So, let me just tell you, folks. We've got…a lot of problems. We've got 19 trillion dollars in debt. We've got our jobs are disappearing. One of the reasons I did so well in Michigan, it was well beyond the polls…well beyond…what anybody expected. It was a landslide! And, Mississippi, our jobs are being taken away from us. We're gonna stop it. We're not gonna let it happen anymore, folks. We're not gonna let it happen. We cannot be…the stupid people anymore! We're not gonna be…the stupid people! We're not gonna allow it to happen.
So, with Carrier, I would call carrier and I would say…as president! You know, some people would say, “well, he's not acting presidential!”. Let me tell you: smart guy, great schools, great everything…; I can be the most presidential person that you've ever seen, but we gotta get the business.
So, “it's not presidential” for me to call Carrier, so I’d probably have one of my many…friends that are great, great negotiators. But you don't even need it! You call up Carrier, and you say to them…and this could pertain to Ford! It could pertain to Nabisco! It could pertain to so many people! So many people! …-THE CROWD STARTS BOOING. THERE IS A PROTESTER. THE CROWD THEN STARTS CHANTING ‘U.S.A!’.
You know, she was with the last guy. You know that, right? They're together. They're a couple. A beautiful couple! A real beauty! That's a beautiful couple, folks. Okay. It's really sad.
So, what I do with Carrier, I would call them, and…enough with free trade. I'm a free trader. But to have free trade, we need smart people, at our helm. We need smart people at the top. We don't have smart people! We don't have hard working people. We have people that don't know what the hell they're doing! All right? …-THE CROWD CHERES.
So, I'm the very conservative guy in many ways. And, frankly, I like to say I'm common-sense conservative. And a lot of the so-called conservative…I remember Jeb Bush would say, “he is not a conservative”.
I said, “why’”. I'm conservative with the military. I'm conservative with ISIS, you’re gonna knock the hell out of them. I'm conservative…I'm conservative…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS TIMIDLY. I'm conservative at the borders. There's nobody like me at the borders, believe me. Sheriff Joe Arpaio came to the borders, and he endorsed me! So, when Sheriff Joe from…Arizona endorses…;
And, by the way, I've had some great endorsements. I've had some great…; Jerry Falwell Jr., Liberty University endorsed me…-THE CROWD CHEERS TIMIDLY. He has been so great…; and I'm leading…lying Ted Cruz…I'm leading him, big league, with the evangelicals. I love the Evangelicals! My people! Lying Ted! You know, don't forget…lying Ted was supposed to win Mississippi. He was supposed to win Alabama. He was supposed to win all of these places, heavy evangelical! He was supposed to win South Carolina! It started there! But they don't like liars! They don't like liars…-THE CROWD CHEERS. And I am a truthful person, I will say that. Maybe…truthful to a fault, but I am a truthful person.
So, I would call…I'd love to do it myself. I know I'm supposed to have somebody do it. And…you might even have a rule, “you cannot call yourself, Mr. President”. But you know what, honestly? It'll take me about two minutes! So, I call up, I’d get the head of Carrier. I’d…-THE CROWD STARTS BOOING. THERE IS ANOTHER PROTESTER. THE CROWD CHANTS ‘U.S.A!’.
Where do these people come from!? Honestly, she looks so meek! And she looks, actually, very nice. Just like…she stands up. She doesn't know what she's doing. She just stands up. And everyone goes crazy. I think, you know, if they wanna stand up, let them stand! Who cares!? No, no, they're blocking somebody's view. We can't have that. We can't have that.
So, I’d call the head of Carrier, and I'll say, “let me just tell you something. Enjoy your stay in Mexico. I hope you build a beautiful place. I hope you have some wonderful workers, but here's the story: 1,400 people will let go. They’re without jobs. They're taking part time jobs. They've been with you for many years”. They've done a great job for Carrier. Carrier makes good air-conditioners, right? I buy a lot. I won't be buying them anymore.
But, here's the story: “every…single…time…you make an air-conditioning unit, and [that] you send it through our borders”…which now are gonna be real borders, by the way. We will charge you…35 percent tax, as sure as you're sitting there…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
Now, here's what happens: little Marco…would say…I think he's gone! I think he's gone! But, who knows!? You never know. But Marco…they hate him in Florida! I wanna tell you, in Florida he doesn't show up to vote! They elected a senator, and he's got the worst voting record in the last…15, 20 years in the United States Senate! What kind of a representative…!? Who wants to vote for him…!? I mean, if I don't beat Marco in Florida…cuz Florida's my place. I love Florida! I employ thousands of people in Florida…-THE CROWD CHEERS TIMIDLY. Florida's my place!
But they…and he's…and he's…totally in favor of amnesty. All the things that you don't like, so, it's one of those things. But I don't think he's gonna do very well. But here’s the problem: lying Ted, and little Marco, they have one problem.
Little Marco, by the way, is a choke artist! Remember when Chris Christie…cross-examined him? And I thought I had to hold him up with this powerful hand! …-MR. TRUMP SHOWS HIS HAND. I thought I have to grab him. He was ready to go! He was ready to go! He talked one, two, three, four, five…I thought he was ready to go.
Okay. But I'd call him up, and I'd say, “35 percent”.
Now, if one of these guys, or Hillary…! Hillary! Ay, ay, ay, Hillary! Hillary! …-THE CROWD BOOS HEAVILY. Hilary! We can't have four…! We're not gonna have a country left if we have Hillary. Can you imagine?
She is…first of all, she shouldn't be allowed to run, okay? She shouldn't. She should not be allowed to run. [She] shouldn't be allowed…-THERE IS A NOISE COMING FROM THE CROWD. This is amazing! It's so great, though. It's so good. How big is the crowd? What do we have here today? 14, 15,000, right? 15,000…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
I…I am telling you…I am telling you , I used to go home, and my wife would say to me, “how big was your crowd?”.
I’d said, “did you watch on television?”.
“Yes. But they never leave your face”. She said, “it sounded like a lot”.
And I'd say, “21,000 people”.
She’d say, “really!?”.
I’d say, “but didn't they show the crowd?”.
“Never”.
With the protesters, they show the crowd! I love my protesters! I really do! They show the crowd! …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. You know why! Because…it's supposed to be trouble. It's supposed to be a bad thing. It's not actually a bad thing. But it's supposed to be. And this way, they turn…and I tell people!
For…five events in a row…I thought the cameras were fixed. I think it maybe its new equipment, [and that] they can't turn, right? And then we had a protester, way up in a corner! And one camera was turned upside down, and backwards…like a pretzel! And I said, “they can turn!”.
[MOU2] So, we love our protesters. So, here's what's going to happen: they will…be called…by…their lobbyists, who takes care of them; by their special interest, who take care of them; or by their donors, and say, “you have to let Carrier sell to the United States”. You can't charge them a tax. And I'll tell you what…I'll tell you what: every one of these people is taken care of…100 percent.
Now, here's what happens with Trump: I'll be called by a couple of people, but I'm self-funding. I'm putting up my own money. I'm not taking money, right? I'm not taking money…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
I've turned down…millions and millions…! I've turned down…one man for ten million dollars. They wanna put up money… “Don, Don, please, let me give you money”. And a lot of them are good people! They're friends of mine! One of them comes up every month he sees me. [A] very rich guy, from Palm Beach, Florida.
He goes, “Don, I'd really like to give you anything you want…many millions, whatever you want”.
And I keep telling them, “no!”. His name is Howard, [a] great guy. He…I say, “Howard, no”. I'm doing my own. I don't want…and he's looking like…he doesn't even understand, “why!? Like…why!?”.
I say, “really, I don't want the influence. I don't want the perception. I'm doing my own”.
Then, the next month I see him, “Don, are you serious? I'd like to do it”…-THERE IS ANOTHER SUDDEN NOISE COMING FROM THE CROWD, WHICH THEN STARTS BOOING.
Those are the most gentle protesters I've ever seen! …-THE CROWD LAUGHS TIMIDLY. The police went for her, and she started running out of the building! And they didn't even touched her! She started running out of the building…! The police…never touched her! And tomorrow, she's suing the police for police brutality! …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
So, I'll say to the head of Carrier; “I'm sorry, you're gonna pay that 35 percent tax”. And my friends, they’ll will call, or people will call, or lobbyist will call. They didn't give me anything. And I'll say, “you pay”.
Here's what's gonna happen: within 24 hours, the head of Carrier is gonna call me and he's gonna say, “Mr. President, we've decided…to stay in the United States”. That's what's gonna happen, folks! …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. It's the only way you're gonna keep your business! It's the only way you're going to keep your businesses!
Now, some of these…foolish people, they're fools…from the National Review! They say, “that's not pure conservatism”. And, I may agree, [or] I may not agree. It's what it's called a smart business[MOU3] ! We need smart business. We can't continue…-THE CROWD CHEERS TIMIDLY-…to lose…we can't continue, as a country, to lose 500…billion…[MOU4] dollars a year with China…! Hundreds of billions of dollars with Japan…! [Who are] sending their cars and by the millions! We can't lose 58…billion…dollars a year with Mexico…!
And then, we saw Vincente Fox, the ex-president of Mexico. He used…-THE CROWD BOOS-… he used the word…that if I would have used that word, I'd be right now getting prepared, by them…-MR. TRUMP POINTS AT THE CAMERAS-…for the electric chair, right? He threw out the f-bomb. And he said, “there's no way we're gonna pay for the you know what wall!”.
Now, he's come a long way. Because a year ago he said, “there's no way we're gonna build the wall!. Now he accepts the wall is gonna be built! …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND BOOS AT THE SAME TIME. APPARENTLY, THERE IS A PROTESTER. It's okay! That's okay! I love that! That's good! Are you from Mexico!? Peru! I love Peru! That's good! …-THE CROWD CHEERS. Hey, give me…! Eric! Give me that sign, Eric! Give me…! I like that sign! Great! …-THE CROWD CHEERS. Beautiful! …-MR. TRUMP GOES GET THE SIGN. THE SIGN CONSISTS OF A DRAWING OF A WALL. MR. TRUMP SHOWS IT ALL AROUND AND THE CROWD CHEERS.
Look at all the people that have moved in up there, isn’t that a beautiful sight!? …-MR. TRUMP POINTS AT ONE OF THE BLEACHERS BEHIND HIM. Another ten minutes…uh…they'll be full, and we'll be out of here. It's sort of the way it works.
So, he has the Great Wall of Trump. Is that beautiful? Thank you! That's done with love, man! Thank you! I'll sign it! Thank you, man! Thank you very much! That's really nice! I can't believe it! He put that sign up, and everyone went crazy! They thought he was a protester! He's just a very good-looking guy, who happens have some talent! Thank you, man. It's very cute. Thank you.
And speaking of good-looking guys…my son is here. Eric! Eric, come up here! …-THE CROWD CHEERS. Come up. Get up here! And Laura, his wife. Come here!
Say something.
MR. ERIC TRUMP INTERVENES.
MR. DONALD TRUMP RE-TAKES THE FLOOR AT 00.35.38:
Oh, it's wonderful to have good, young…beautiful children, I will tell you…that work hard! We want them to work hard, right?
So, we're gonna straighten things out.
Now, one of the things they did let…yesterday, when they're leaving, they ask questions. And the question was, “why Trump? Why? What's going on? What's happening? Why is it? And the people said, “they're fed up!”…-A SUDDEN NOISE INTERRUPTS MR. TRUMP’S SPEECH. THE CROWD BOOS-…[they are] troublemakers.
[Do] You know what they do? They meet beforehand. They all take different sections. [They are] Troublemakers. [They are] Just…professional troublemakers. All right, get her out of here. Get her out! Get her out! …-THE CROWD CHEERS.
So, I have to tell you. The first time it happened, it was a real, bad dude. He was rough. He was tough. And he's starting to punch people, and he's screaming…he had a voice like Pavarotti. The guy's voice was unbelievable. And, I saw…I saw it happening over in a corner. And he was a rough guy. And he was punching…and…we had some people. Some rough guys like we have right in here. And they started punching back. It was a beautiful thing. I mean, they started punching back…-THE CROWD CHEERS.
And, this guy was so aggressive, and such a terrible guy, and he was hurting people! And these guys punch back. And then the police came, and they took care of it. And the next day it was a story how rough we were how terrible it was. And let me tell you, we can't let this stuff happen anymore, folks. We have to be treated fairly also. We have to be treated fairly…-THE CROWD CHEERS TIMIDLY.
You know, it's funny. When I speak up, and I say, “get them out!”, they say, “oh, Trump is too rough”: When I say, “be careful. Don't hurt him. Don't hurt him!”, then they say, “Trump has gotten a lot weaker. What's wrong with Trump?”, right?
So, here's what happens! Here's what happens! [Are] You ready for the final? All right, get her out! …-APPARENTLY, THERE IS ANOTHER PROTESTER. I don't know, why but I love it. Am I…am I crazy? I love this! …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. I love this! …-THE CROWD CHANTS ‘TRUMP!’ REPEATEDLY. Who are these people!? Where do they come from!?
So…uh…so folks, the bottom line…? We're gonna keep our…companies. When people cheat us with monetary, and currency manipulation, we're gonna fight back. We're gonna charge them! We're not gonna be a country that allows our jobs to be taken any more, folks. We're not gonna be a country…that allows our factories…to be closed…anymore! We're not gonna take it anymore! All right?
So, here's the story. We don't win anymore. We don't win anymore. We don't win with the military. We can't beat ISIS. We don't win a trade. China, Mexico, Vietnam…that's a new one. India. Japan. They all take advantage of us….-THE CROWD BOOS. THERE IS ANOTHER PROTESTER, APPARENTLY.
I…I will say this this. These police are working hard tonight, right? They're working hard…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. They're great. They're great! [They are the] Most underappreciated people. And our veterans are underappreciated. Veterans for Trump…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Veterans for Trump! Let me have that sign! Let me have that sign. Get me that sign! I love that. I love…is your husband a veteran? …-MR. TRUMP ADDRESSES A MEMBER IN THE CROWD SPECIFICALLY. Are you a veteran? Let me have that sign…-MR. TRUMP GETS THE SIGN AND KISSES IT. “Veterans for Trump!”…THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. We love them. So, we’re gonna take care of our veterans, folks. We have to. They’re not treated properly. And that's the way. [Do] You want your sign back or can I have it professionally?
I love this sign. I never saw this one! I love it! Okay! …-THE CROWD CHANTS ‘U.S.A!’.
Let me ask you a question, when you go back home, are you energized or what? Are you gonna sleep tonight? …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
One of the commentators asked, who's back there right now, [They] said to me, “Mr. Trump, do you sleep at night?”.
Who can sleep after you do this!? This is…like incredible! You know, it's…it’s like an incredible feeling. It's a great feeling. It's a great feeling, because…we have the greatest people in the world. But we don't have the great leadership. When we match up our leadership and our talent, and you have people that know what they're doing…? This country is gonna go to a level…that it's never been before. I mean that. It's never…been…before…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
So, we have people…and I don't know if I get credit for it, and I don't think I do. The fact that I self-fund; so I put in probably around 30 million dollars. Which, by the way, is less than all these other guys.
You know, I'm in first place! CNN came out with a poll the other day. Trump, 49. The other guys, 15…14…; don't we love that!? Isn’t that…? …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. And they spent far…more…than I did.
I'll give you an example. In education, right? Education. How important is education? So, the top 30…the top 30, we're the worst of the top 30, [and] we spend the most per pupil by far. [The] Second is not even in the ballgame. So we’re the worst. We're gonna turn it around, folks…-THERE IS ANOTHER PROTESTER IN THE ROOM. Bye-bye! It's very strategic.
[Have] You ever noticed? It's always like one person. Can't we have a little more action than this!? …-THE CROWD CHEERS TIMIDLY. Goodbye, darling! It's…it’s unbelievable.
So, you have Norway. You have Denmark. You have Sweden. You have China. They're the best in terms of World Education. We're at the bottom of the pack. We’re number 30 out of 30. We spend the most for pupil. It's not gonna happen that way anymore, folks. We're gonna get…you know, we talk about the American dream. And I say now, because so many people have told me!
The American Dream is dead…! But I'm gonna make it bigger, and better, and stronger…than…ever…before! Ever! …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.[MOU5] 
And you know? One of the questions asked. They always talk about…the military. We had great generals. General…Douglas MacArthur. General…George Patton. [Do] You know how long ISIS would be around if we had General Patton? …-THE CROWD CHEERS TIMIDLY. Would you say what? 24 hours? Maybe less. He said, “no, less”…-MR. TRUMP POINTS AT A PERSON IN THE CROWD. No, we fight gentle wars now. We fight gentle wars. And we stay within the boundaries of the law!
Can you imagine these people, what they would do to us if they could? Do you think they read the laws? They say, “oh, we can't do that! That's not within the law!”. Who are these people!? I mean, where do they come from? Where do they come from?
So, we're gonna always stay…of course we're gonna stay within the law. But we're gonna do it right: We're gonna do it right. And one of the things I love about this area, one of the things I really love is the military component. Because, we have…such…and you know exactly what I'm talking about…-THE CROWD CHEERS TIMIDLY. You know exactly, exactly what I'm talking about.
And I'll tell you what we have to do with our military. We have great people. We need great leader. We have great leaders! You know, I know West Point, Annapolis, the Air Force Academy; these great, great places. We have great…we have George Pattons! We have General MacArthurs! We have to find them! We have to find them! And we have to buy the kind of equipment that they need! Not stuff that's delivered that you don't want…-THE CROWD CHEERS TIMIDLY-…but we deliver it because that company has political muscle…with the guys that I'm with up here on the stage! Because that's what's happening!
We buy equipment…that we don't want…because some companies have political muscle. No more, folks. [It’s] not gonna happen. We're gonna get the stuff we want. We're gonna get the stuff we want…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS TIMIDLY.
So, we're gonna have a situation, where we're gonna go to bid on so many things. We're gonna…we're gonna balance our budget. You know, our budget is a mess. Did you see the Omnibus plan, eight years ago?
Eight weeks ago…they signed…a budget…that is so bad! [If] Funds ISIS…; [It] funds Obamacare…; [It] funds Syrians…coming in…; [It] funds Syrians coming in…-THE CROWD BOOS TIMIDLY. And we don't know! Are they ISIS!? We don't know!
You know what? We have a migration. We gotta work on it. I wanna get the Gulf states to pay for it. They're not spending money. They have more money than anybody. We’ll lead it! We’ll lead it! We're very good. But we're not gonna use our money anymore. We can't! We can't! We're not using our money.
We're not gonna make deals like the Iran deal anymore. 150 billion dollars and we get nothing. We're not doing it anymore…-THE CROWD CHEERS TIMIDLY. We can't allow the Syrians inasmuch as you feel that we should.
And by the way, the migration. Did you ever notice? You look at this migration, and you say, “how come there are so few women and children?”, right? [Did] You ever see that? There's strong men. You say, “why aren't they back there, fighting for their country?”; and, “why are we letting them come into this country’”. We don't know who they are, where they come from…there's no paperwork.
You saw what happened with the woman who is married. [She] got married, [and] probably radicalized…the young man. They get married. They go in, [and] they kill 14 people. Everyone’s saying, “what happened?”.
Look at what happened in Paris!  130…people…killed. Many people right now in the hospital, going to…in many cases die. [They] will be destroyed for life. They walk in…let me tell you. They walk in, “boom, boom, boom!”. 130 people dead. Many people gravely, gravely injured. And you know what? Paris has the toughest gun laws in the world, folks. France, has the toughest gun laws in the world! The bad guys have whatever they want. But the people obey the laws, [and] they don't have guns.
If you would have had guns…; if…you, in the red shirt…-MR. TRUMP STARTS POINTING AT SPECIFIC PEOPLE IN THE CROWD-…with that beautiful logo on. USMC, right!? Right!? USMC… [United States Marine Corps]…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
If that guy was in the room, and he had a gun on his…ankle, or a gun at his…waist, and you had a couple of others, you wouldn't have had the problem, folks, let me tell you! We have to protect our Second Amendment! We have to! …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. We have to protect our Second Amendment.
You know, they're chipping away at your
Second Amendment. Now they're talking about bullets. They'll try and do it with bullets. Or they'll try and do it with the magazines. And they'll…; these people, they don't understand. They don't understand what's going on. And we have a mental health problem. And we have to solve mental health problems, but, we have to protect our Second Amendment. And all you have to do, is look at what happened in California; look at what happened in Paris. If bullets were flying in the opposite direction, believe me, it would have been a much, much better situation. And probably, [it] wouldn't have happened at all…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
So, we have a very, very important…election. We've been doing…really well. It's been going amazingly well. And, hopefully…we're gonna have results that are…incredible. North Carolina is gonna be very important. It's next Tuesday, and I guess you can vote early. I think you can vote early. I'm sure you can vote early…-THE CROWD CHEERS. Then go out and vote. And don't forget, you made the pledge! And it was a pledge! They'll probably report something else tonight. They'll say, “oh, that was so terrible! So terrible!”. But, you made the pledge.
So, look if you can vote early, that's a good thing. But we have to do something…-THE CROWD MUTTERS. THERE IS ANOTHER PROTESTER, APPARENTLY. Oh, that's okay. He's a quiet one. He's a quiet one. Who is it? Who is the protester? Get out of here! Out! Out! Out!
You know, they all look like spoiled kids too. They look…-THE CROWD CHEERS TIMIDLY. They look like spoiled people. Say hello to mom and dad! Are mom and dad supporting me!? I think his mother and father are here supporting me! All right. Goodbye!
So, it’s so important…that you go out on Tuesday, or sooner, and vote. Because…I've always had a special relationship with North Carolina. That's why I have property here. And it's a special place. But let me just tell you. That's all right, don't worry.
Let me just tell you: we have a country that loses at everything. We don't win anymore. We're gonna start winning again big league. We're gonna win with our military. We're gonna knock the hell out of ISIS, by the way…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLADUS. We're gonna win with our military. We’re gonna win with our vets, because we're gonna take care of our great vets. We're gonna win at the border. We're gonna build the wall, and we're not gonna have any problems. We're gonna make sure it's done. And by the way, Mexico is gonna pay for the wall, as sure as you're standing here…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
We're gonna win at education, and we're bringing it back locally. We're getting rid of Common Core. We're getting…-THE CROWD CHEERS. We're getting rid of a horrible Obamacare, which is costing people fortunes, and doesn't work…-THE CROWD CHEERS. We're gonna win at trade. We're gonna win a trade. We're no longer going to be the stupid country. We’re no longer gonna be a country that…truly, truly, truly doesn't know what it's doing because we have incompetent leadership. We're gonna be the brilliant country. We're…not the smart country! We're gonna be the brilliant country! We're gonna be a country, now, that's gonna bring jobs our way! For 40 years, the jobs have been going in the wrong direction! We're gonna be bringing jobs our way! [We’re] gonna bring them back! And we're gonna bring them to North Carolina, I can tell you that! But we're gonna bring jobs back!
And you know what's gonna happen? And I say this, and I have fun with it, and I'll say it. But it is…a lot of truth to it. We're gonna win so much…! We're gonna win, win, win. We're gonna win with our military. We're gonna win with trade. We're gonna win with everything. We're gonna win so much…that you're gonna say, “Mr. President, we're winning too much. It's too….much! We can't stand it. Please, let's lose a little bit!”…-THE CROWD CHEERS TIMIDLY.
I'll say, “no way! We're gonna keep winning! We're gonna make America great again! You're gonna love your president! …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. You're gonna love North…you're gonna love…! Hey, you're gonna love North Carolina! But you’re gonna love your president! And you're gonna…you are going to say to yourself, that that evening…when we stood together as a group, that that was one of the most important evenings of your life.
And on Tuesday, or before, when you vote, you're gonna say…that was the most important vote you ever gave.
I love you, North Carolina. Get out and vote. We're gonna win. We're gonna make America great again! Thank you!
