Now, the bad news is…you saw it. We’ve thousands of people outside. I said, “why didn’t we get a bigger place?”. But, who knows…who knows that this is all gonna happen. You know, things are going on that are amazing. But I don't know if you saw it. I just came here. We drove through thousands, and thousands of people. And I feel badly for those people! Do at least…what…do we have speakers outside? Huh? Does anybody know? Do we have speakers outside? They do!? Hello outside! We love you outside! …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
Oh, boy! That's a lot of people. I couldn't believe it, but…we have that all over. I mean, we get these crowds that are incredible…; and there's tremendous love, and there's…tremendous everything going on. It's incredible. Because we're gonna take our country back. We're gonna make our country great again. That's what we're gonna do! …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. That's what we’re gonna do!
And…it's been amazing! What's going on. So we have a big, big, big election. So, Tuesday. You have to get to the polls. You have to vote. It's so important.
You know they’re talking…thank you! …-A MEMBER IN THE CROWD YELLS SOMETHING INAUDIBLE. And I'll vote for you! Someday, I’ll vote for you…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
But, we have to do it. Otherwise, we’ve just wasted a lot of time. Honestly, we just waste time. Uh…you know, Ohio…it…it…has plenty of problems. Believe me. Believe me. Your real estate taxes are through the roof. And you know what they did! [It] Is they try not to raise taxes. But they raised everybody's real estate taxes, so the tax increase is absolutely a disaster.
And, your governor, as you know, voted…when he was a congressman, voted for NAFTA, which is…-THE CROWD BOOS-…which is absolutely…it…you know, Ohio has never, ever come back from that.
And, yesterday I was in Cleveland. And you had Ford left. And you had Eation left, on the other side. Yes, sit down everybody! What the hell!? …-THE CROWD LAUGHS. Just sit down! Sit down! We could be in for a long time. I love it man. We'll be here for a while. I think I have to come back! Because, in fact, what we’re doing…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Thank you. No, I have to come back [to] take care of some of those people: That's…I feel badly. When you have that many people being turned away, that’s…; well, in one way it's good, right? Because it means they love you. In another way, it’s a little bad. Now, the other candidates do not have this problem…-THE CROWD LAUGHS. They have empty seats all over the place, okay? They don't have this problem.
So, Kasich voted, as you know, for NAFTA. And now he wants to vote for…Trans-Pacific, which is TPP, which is going to be worse than NAFTA. Where…all of the things that we…I've been talking about for years! Monetary manipulation it's…what they do with the devaluation. [IT] Makes it impossible for our businesses to compete. All of these countries are going in. And believe me, China's lurking in the background. They're watching. They're not in it. But they're watching. And they're gonna go in through the back in a couple of years, and they'll steal it all. So, you better be careful. And I hope they don't approve it. But Kasich is in favor of it. No good.
Now, today I watched him on television, and I like John. You know, he’s [a] nice guy. But he said, “did you see some of Trump speeches?”
“No, I haven't seen them”.
Oh, he's the only person in America that hasn’t seen them…-THE CROWD LAIGHS. So they said, “did you see them?”.
“No. Well, I don't really watch television. When I watch television. I only watch golf channel. I don't watch the news. I don't watch politics”.
I said, “wait a minute. We all like golf channel too, but…you're running for president, [and] the only thing he watches a television is Golf Channel?
So, he's…he’s…not gonna do the job! Okay? [He’s] not gonna do the job.
We have so many problems with this country…; we have so many problems. And, we're gonna make this country so great, so strong…; we're gonna build up our military…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. And, we're not gonna use our military. We're not gonna have to use our military, hopefully. But, nobody's gonna mess with us. We're gonna take care of our vets. The vets are really important…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. They are our great people. We gotta take care of our vets, right? These are great, great people. Thank you, darling. I love that sign! Look at that beautiful sign! Thank you! …-THE SIGN IS NOT ON CAMERA. Boy, that’s…incredible.
I…I tell the story, and it's sort of an amazing story. But, a very, very good friend of mine is a very successful guy, and…he always…I mean, always, he…he asks about, “how many people you're speaking in front of today, Donald?”.
I say, “21,000 people in Dallas. 35,000 people, a couple of weeks ago in Alabama”.
He said, “how do you do that?”. This is one of the most successful guys. And I said, “you know, I don't really know. And I'm not a big note person. I don't read speeches because I don't like to. I’d do! It's easier to read speeches! But you wanna put everyone to sleep? Just read speeches, right? Plus, you can't comment on things like…a golf channel. You know, with Kasich, with Golf Channel. Because you don't put that in the speech because it's to current. I just heard it a couple of hours ago.
Uh…but…but he said, “how do you do it?”. And I said…I really mean this. There's such love in these stadiums. And these rooms…! And there's such love. They took this room just very…quickly because we just wanted to come up here and say hello.
You know, I used to work in Cincinnati. And…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS-…it’s true! Queen City. I love Cincinnati. But I work here. And I tell the story! I wrote about it. And…I think The Art of the Deal. But I wrote about it. And…it was…right!? Am I right? …-THE CROWD BOOS TIMIDLY. And it was a great feeling. My father and I, we bought a job called Swift in Village. And it was very sick. It had…I think 11060 units. And…I spent my entire summers. Two summers working, working, working. I loved the job. I loved…I loved Cincinnati, I must tell you. I really loved it…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. And…and we bought it for very little, from FHA, Federal Housing, and sold it for a big profit. And, we got…we got out…we sold it, and now I know the area hasn't been very good. But, at least we were able to protect that.
But, I'll tell you. It was a great experience. It's sort of like a baseball player [that] gets the first hit; or a golfer sinks the first three-foot putt, or something; and it gave you confidence, because it was…you know, I was very young when I did that job. And it was my baby. And it was just an amazing experience. And I loved…I just loved…the whole…the whole deal. And then we…also got very familiar with the people of Kentucky! And…you know? …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Do we have people…yeah! But I loved them!
And by the way, who won Kentucky recently, right? …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Right? Trump! …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
So, but I used to drive…as a young guy, I used to drive…-SUDDENLY, THE CROWD STARTS TO BOO AND THEN CHANT ‘TRUMP!’ REPEATEDLY. Well, it adds excitement. Doesn't it, folks? You know, you really ask, “what are they doing?”, right? What are they doing…? …-THE CROWD LAUGHS. It's the same thing everywhere. And you know, sometimes not so much.
Uh…we had one yesterday where we had seven or eight incidents where they stand up, and they'd say, “oh, something”; and…everybody shuts them down. And it…you know, it's fine. Honestly, in certain ways…in certain ways, it makes it more exciting. Okay? To be honest…-THE CROWD CHEERS. It does! [It] makes it more exciting. We might have…a couple of more…; anybody else wanna stand up right now? Anybody…? …-THE CROWD LAUGHS. Huh? So, anyway…; it's a shame that we wasted two tickets though. Two tickets where we have…all those great people outside. That's a shame…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS TIMIDLY.
But I used to…I used to drive…to Kentucky. Friday night I’d spend time in Kentucky…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS TIMIDLY. It’s true! And…I just had a great time there. I mean, I loved Kentucky. And…and, it was so amazing! You know, when I went out, and when I did this, I was not supposed to win Kentucky. Right? And, did I win in a landslide!? …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. We won…we won in a landslide.
So…they must have remembered me in Kentucky when I was young! And they said, “we're gonna give him our vote”. But it was amazing. But Ohio is so important…that Tuesday vote is so important…! Because, if we can do that, I think we're gonna do great in Florida. Polls came out in Florida today which are fantastic. Now, who knows!? …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Who knows!? I mean, I think we're gonna do very well.
Look, they have an absentee senator. He's absentee. Totally! He's got one of the worst…voting records in the last 25 years of the Senate. He doesn't vote! You know, they put him in. He's a young guy. They put him in, and he goes out…you know who I'm talking about, right? Who am I talking about? Little Marco! …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND LAUGHS. Marco…! Marco, Marco…; but…but he's…; and he got a little nasty with me for a while, but that's okay. He got nasty. They all get nasty, and then you end up winning, and…you just forget about them…-THE CROWD LAUGHS.
We got nasty with him too! You know, in the last debate, my...uh…my daughter and my wife, they said, “don't…just let him say whatever they want. Let them all say whatever they want. Act presidential”.
I said, “I can't do that. I can't do that” …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND LAUGHS. When they come at you you, have to go back. Don't we agree? I mean, what are you gonna do, standing? …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND LAUGHS. You can't do it. You have to…you have to hit him back. And, if you hit him hard enough, all of a sudden, they collapse. Think of it. Think of it.
Every person…we started off with 17. Now we're down to a few, and I'm certainly…a couple are getting out very soon. But, including the governor. The governor here didn't win one state yet! And he's not allowed! He didn't qualify! I don't know! Is this a big story!? It doesn't seem to be a big story! I don't understand it! He didn't qualify in Pennsylvania! He didn't have the signatures! Does anyone know that? …-THE CROWD YELLS ‘NO’. It was just announced. He didn't qualify in Pennsylvania! So, if he doesn't qualify in Pennsylvania, he shouldn't be running on Tuesday. Right!? I mean, I think! …-THE CROWD CHEERS TIMIDLY. So, anyway! Hey, look, that's his problem. Hopefully we can just beat him. Who cares if he qualifies in Pennsylvania?
But…but…he…he…is…somebody…and he's been very nice to me; I’ve been very nice to him. But he does this nice…you know, this nice routine. “Yeah, I wanna be the grown-up in the room. I wanna be…”.

But he didn't start out that way! Do you remember the first two debates? He came at me…oh! And I said, “wait a minute! What's this!?”. And he came at me viciously. And I'm telling you. And that's why I remember. Cuz, you know, now he's been less…probably six, or seven, or eight debates…he's been going, “well, you know, I…I’m the…I’m the guy that's the grown up. I wanna be really nice…”.
Take…take a look at the first two bates…debates. [Do you] Remember when I went after him!? I said, “you ran Lehman Brothers into the ground and it almost destroyed the world! Don't tell me about that!”. And all of a sudden, he sort of shut up. But he was vicious. Which is okay. You know, he’s a governor; he’s supposed to be a little bit vicious, right? But now, he's…you know, playing the good guy.
And then I had some commercials done in New Hampshire. So, I'm up in New Hampshire, and I…which I one also. I Love New Hampshire. I love those people…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND LAUGHS. I Love New Hampshire.
You know, the problem…New Hampshire has a big problem. And I tell them I'm gonna take care of this problem. New Hampshire has a tremendous problem with…heroin. Can you believe it? New Hampshire such a beautiful place…! It's so pristine, so…you know, the trees…! And the beautiful, little roads…and the countryside. And you go into…like…groups like this. You know, large 1500 people; 500 people; every…single…time…you asked a group, “what's your big problem?”, in New Hampshire, they say heroin, and drugs. And you don't see it! It doesn't go…!
…-A MEMBER IN THE CROWD YELLS SOMETHING INAUDIBLE. Here too. Here too. Here too. All right. Here too…-THE MEMBER IN THE CROWD YELLS SOMETHING ABOUT “THE WALL”. Oh, we’re gonna build the wall, folks don't worry abour it…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND LAUGHS. We’re gonna build that wall.
Think of it: we get the drugs, they get the money. [It’s] Not a good deal, right? [It’s] Not a good deal. No, we're gonna build a wall, and Mexico's gonna pay for the wall. It’s very simple. Look, here's the story. Here’s the story…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND LAUGHS.
Mexico…Mexico…is gonna pay! 58…billion…dollars…in trade, that’s our imbalance. 58…billion dollars a year! People don't know that! And these senators come up, Marco and lying Ted. [Do] You know lying Ted? …-THE CROWD LAUGHS TIMIDLY. He walks in, holds up the Bible…and I'm beating him! I'm just killing him with…Evangelicals! …because…-THE CROWD CHEERES TIMIDLY-…they don't like liars! No, they don't like liars.
He comes in with the Bible, holds it up…high puts it down, and then he lies. I mean, well…I call him lying Ted! And you know why he hasn't…!? He was supposed to win South Carolina, because…I think it's 68 percent Evangelical. And Trump got the evangelicals. And that was the day after the Pope scolded me! But the Pope…was told by Mexico…that Trump wants to stop the border. And the Pope didn't like that! And the Pope, really….;
I said, “you know, [it’s] sort of interesting. So I'm getting ready, they're getting ready, they’re…for the vote, in South Carolina. And my people come up, “Mr. Trump, we have a problem!”. This is the day before the vote.
And I said, “uh…what's…the problem?”.
They said, “it's the Pope!”…-THE CROWD LAUGHS TIMIDLY.
I said, “the Pope!?”…-THE CROWD LAUGHS TIMIDLY. I said, “that's a big problem”, right? The Pope! I like the Pope! I do like the Pope! I said, “why? What did I do with the Pope?”. I said, “let me ask you. Is it a good thing, or a bad thing?”.
They said, “not good”.
So, the Pope hit me because he didn't like the fact that…we're gonna close up the borders. And people are gonna come in, but they're gonna come in legally. They gotta come in legally. Okay.
So…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS-…and the drugs that are poisoning our youth, they're not coming in, folks. They're not coming in. So, anyway. Okay, that’s a long story…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND LAUGHS.
So I…I get this thing, and they say “the Pope”; and, because he was with Mexico. And I like Mexico, and I…have a lot of respect for their leadership, much more smarter than our leadership. And that's why…I mean, we can't make good deals, because…our leaders are not smart when it comes to trade…; minor things like trade…; military…; healthcare…; Common Core…; all these things…you know, they're not too good on any of it, okay? They're not…they’re not good at anything, [if] you wanna know the truth.
But, so I get a call say[ing], “The Pope”. So, then I hear [that] the Pope was sort of angry, because he was told by Mexico that I wanted closed borders. The Pope didn't know the tremendous crime [that] is coming across the border; that drugs are pouring across the barder…border. And…and, [he] just didn't know! I mean, he would…; and the next day he was so nice! The next day the Pope was so terrific! And he did something. He…issued something. I don't think it was…exactly an apology. I don't want an apology, but he was great.
We went to the polls, and I won South Carolina in a massive landslide…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND LAUGHS. And…lying Ted got very few votes. And that was supposed to be his…that was supposed to be his deal. But people don't know…they just don't like it when people lie.[ Do you] You remember with Ben Carson? By the way, who endorsed me yesterday. And he’s great…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND LAUGHS.
And…remember in Iowa, where Ben Carson…was…running, and, you know, all of a sudden, the rumor was going out all over the place that, he left the race. He didn't leave the race! Lying Ted said he left the race! “He's not running…”, and so, vote for him! And you can't do that. You know, you can't do that.
And then he, right after the…election, he went and apologized to Ben. A lot of good that does! They should have disqualified him, [if] you wanna know the truth. They actually should have disqualified him. And they had it down many different ways. So, anyway!
So, we're gonna run, and we're gonna do some…incredible things. And we're gonna bring our country back. And we're gonna bring it back in every aspect. And, frankly, Hillary's a disaster, by the way. You know that…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS TIMIDLY. A disaster.
And despite all of the stuff you see with Bernie…, Bernie…, Bernie…it’s not…it’s not gonna be…Bernie. It’s gonna be Hillary. But, unless…unless the FBI does its thing! Because she's got a problem! Anybody else…look at all the people that were so badly hurt…by doing much less than she did, including General Petraeus, a good guy. Destroyed! He was destroyed, for doing much less than what she did.
So, let's see what happens. I'm sort of predicting that, certainly, they would have done it already if they’re gonna do it. How can they let her run and then all of a sudden do it? So, let's see what happens. But I…I know she's…probably doing oka. Did you ever see anybody embrace President Obama like she's embracing him?
“Oh, the president is great! He's great! We love this plan! We love that plan! We love everything!”. She loves everything! Key[stone] PP, interestingly she originally liked it, now she doesn't like it. She wants…you know, and then, if he wants it, she's gonna want it again. So, I don't know what his…; if you know his position, you know his position is ‘I like him’. So, I assume she likes it. Because everything that he wants…;
Now, why is she being so nice to the president? You know, they didn't like each other for years, right? So, why? Do you know? That's right! That's right! She wants to see…-A MEMBER IN THE CROWD INTERRUPTS MR. TRUMP. HE YELLS SOMETHING INAUDIBLE. MR. TRUMP ADDRESSES IT-…oh that's interesting. That's in…he…you know, hey, he might just executive-order himself into that position. You never know…-THE CROWD LAUGHS AND APPLAUDS. You never know!
I mean, nobody ever heard of executive orders until this guy came along! And he…you know, he doesn't do it where you get a group of people in the room, and you make the deals…; and you always make good deals for your side, but you make…like Ronald Reagan and Tip O'Neill…; but, anyway!
So, look, we have so many problems. One of the problems, actually, is that problem, Supreme Court. If a Democrat gets in…you already lost…well, in losing Scalia, that was a terrible thing, because…he was a great guy. But nobody ever thought…nobody ever thought that was gonna happen. I mean, that came out of the blue! They were thinking others that were older! And they were thinking others…; all of a sudden…and that's the way life is. Things happen. You have no idea it's gonna happen. That's the way life is. So, we love Scalia.
So, now, whoever the new president is could actually get up to four and maybe even five…Supreme Court justices. So, let's assume that…Hillary gets in, and she's gonna put…-THE CROWD BOOS-…well, no…! No…! If you don't…; and I'll tell you what. I'll tell you what. A guy like Ted Cruz can never beat her at the general election. [He] Never, in a million years, will never beat her.
But [if] she gets in, she's gonna apoint four or five judges. You will never as a country recover from that. That's one of the most important things. In fact, some people are angry.
You know, I used to be establishment. I was a big contributor in all that stuff. And then all of a sudden I said, “run”, and they said, “Donald's running! He's not gonna want our money! And if he doesn't want our money, he's not gonna listen to us!”. I'm…self-funding my campaign, folks, and, they're not happy about it…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. They are not happy about it! Because when the pharmaceutical companies, which give millions and millions of dollars to these senators…when all these…when all these people, and all these…companies…; you know, they give it to the lobbyists, and through the lobbyists, and the special interest…; the pharmaceutical companies…you look at…oil and gas, everything! Everything is controlled in Washington. So, when I said I'm running…; when was the last time you saw somebody run, where they said, “I'm self-funding”. Did you ever remember anybody? …-THE CROWD CHEERS. No, no. Did you ever remember?
In Washington, they have lobbyists and they have like Rubio up on their forehead. It's emblazoned…-THE CROWD LAUGHS TIMIDLY. “I take care of Rubio”. “I take care of Cruz”. They have these people they're lobbyists. They're very good. You gotta pay them a lot of money, and they go in and they get you what you need! You know, usually! Usually, they get you what you need. But these guys are totally controlled.
Like the drug industry does very little bidding! They bid like…you know, they get…they…they get like…if you go to the drugstore, and buy drugs, drugs to make you better, right? I mean, you're paying the same price! The United States is the largest…drug…buyer in the world. Wouldn’t you think we'd be able to buy pretty well!? We don't buy. We don't bid.
And then you look at it, you know, people like Woody Johnson, of Johnson & Johnson was in charge of Jeb Bush's campaign! So, what would happen if Jeb got in…? Jeb didn't make it. I guess you probably heard that tip, didn't he…? …-THE CROWD APPLAUDS TIMIDLY. But…he says ‘low-energy’…-MR. TRUMP LAUGHS AS HE RECASTS A COMMENT MADE BY A MEMBER IN THE CROWD. We don't need low energy, folks! We need very strong energy! …-THE CROWD CHEERS TIMIDLY.
When you see China…; when you see the way I…I've done a…great deals with China. I've made a lot of money with Chin. When you see China coming at you, and you see Japan coming at you; and you see Mexico…; you saw a Vincente Fox the other day, right? Where he used the f-bomb. Nobody reported it. They didn't care if you use the f-bomb. Can you imagine if I said what he said? …-THE CROWD MUTTERS. I told people this morning, it would be the electric chair! I wouldn't be here right now…-THE CROWD LAUGHS TIMIDLY. It's true.
But he said, “we will not pay for the wall”, which made me actually happy, cause two years ago, he said, “we won't allow a wall to be built”. So, now we've already got the first. He's allowing a wall. But he said, “we will not pay for the you-know-what wall, right? …-THE CROWD APPLAUDS TIMIDLY. And they're gonna pay! And the reason they're gonna pay [it’s] very simple! With the kind of money, that we lose…on Mexico…in trade; with a trade imbalance…when you have a trade imbalance of 58 billion dollars a year…a 10 billion dollar wall is peanuts! Right?
So, when these guys come off this surge, “you don't really mean that Mexico's gonna pay for the wall”.
I said, “of course they're gonna pay for the wall”.
But, Vincente Fox was so angry when he did that interview! I don't know, I think it was with CNN. Was it with CNN? They’re all back there! Look at them! What a lot of…-THE CROWD BOOS. The most dishonest…; Do you know who’s really dishonest? The New York Times. They write stories. They never even call me! You know, you don't even have…; they write stories. They're so inaccurate…! They don't care! It's a badly run newspaper. It's a horrible…it’s failing! It's gonna be…well, it'll either be out of business, or a very rich person will buy it, and just have it as a lavaliere. But The New York Times is the worst…newspaper! They do a big story, [and] they won't even call you for a comment! They don't care! And when you call them, because you wanna comment, like I had…a person recently for something, [you] call, “no. We don't want your…comment. We don't want a…comment”. They write a story, and then, it's all wrong. And they couldn't care less if it's wrong! That's why I said! We have to do something with the libel laws, folks.
You have to when…you’ve libeled, you have to be able to go and sue a newspaper and get them to change, and, in addition to that, get some money! Now, that's not freedom of speech! …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. That's that not a change! All we want is for them to be…honest! But when you have a dishonest newspaper like The New York Times, you have to be able to sue them! You have to be able to do it. Because, the level of dishonesty…! And that's what I talked about, so many of them.
But the level of dishonesty of the press is beyond…belief. [It’s] Far greater than you would ever think. Believe me. Because you don't see it as much I see it. I see it! They do stories that are so bad…! That are so wrong…! And knowingly wrong! They do it for headlines; they do it for…for whatever; and they're all having a hard time. You know, they’re losing money, but…but…a lot of them are losing money because people have given up on them!
Like, for instance, I go around, and whenever I talk about the media, the place always stands up and boos the hell out of media! They're less popular…than politicians, which is pretty amazing when you think of it! …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
So…so this forum is…really cool. I haven't done this in a while. I love doing this. I love this forum. Uh…the problem is [that] you don't get that many people in the room. That's…you know, it's gotta be a little more intimate, but I love doing this forum.
So, what I wanna do is we'll take some questions, and then I'm gonna come back, because we're gonna have to do a much larger room, because…I feel so…guilty about what we have over there. I mean, [I] really feel guilty about all the people outside; many of whom we told to just…leave, [that] I'll come back. Even if I come back after the election, I'm coming back! Okay?
Well…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS-…let me put it this way; let me put it this way. If I win, I know I'm coming back! …-THE CROWD CHEERS. If I lose…yeah…maybe not…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND LAUGHS TIMIDLY.
Okay. Go ahead…-MR. TRUMP POINTS AT A SPECIFIC PERSON IN THE CROWD.
Nice hat! Cincinnati. Oh, we love Cincinnati! What do you think!? Hey, by the way, Pete Rose let them in, right? Right? …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. What are they doing!?
You know, before you start. Wait. Charlie Hustle, right? So. I watched him. And I…I…he was a great player. And it's so ridiculous! Don't you think he's paid the price? First of all…-THE CROWD CHEERS-…he didn't bet on his…he bet that he would win! Not on the other team or anything, right!? But look, he's not supposed to do it. It's a terrible thing. All that stuff. How long has he been waiting, like 30 years!? 35 years!? He’s got more hits than anybody! He was so good…! I still remember when he went into second base, and he took out Doug Harrelson, right? Right? …-THE CROWD CHEERS TIMIDLY. That was the name of the second baseman. Good. That means he’s still good. But, you know, we gotta let Pete Rose into the Hall of Fame.
And, you know…? …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. You know? Charlie Hustle. If…if I were the commissioner, honestly, I would do it. He would be so popular…! I have never met a group even people that just used to root against him, which was hard to do, cause he was really good! But even people that used to root against them, they’d say, “let him in!”. And, I don't know what Major League Baseball's doing…who cares!? But let Pete Rose into the Hall of Fame. Do you agree with it!? You’d better agree…-THE CROWD APPLAUDS TIOMIDLY.
Okay. Go ahead! This guy agrees! I can tell you with that hat on.

MR. TRUMP RESPONDS AT 00.30.49:
 
Okay. Well…so, that is such a big problem, and I hear from so many different people. And…also, I mean, the big problem is with the VA. It's horribly run. It's a corrupt enterprise. It's really corrupt. And, you look at what's going on in Phoenix, with the VA. It's a disaster. A complete disaster. We're gonna take care of the problem.
 
They are having a tremendous problem with that. I fully know it. I fully understand it. We're gonna do something about it. We have no choice. We have to do something about it.
 
The truth is, we have to treat our veterans much, much better. Our veterans are not being treated right…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Thank You, man. Thank you.

THE MEMBER CONTINUES WITH HER QUESTION.
MR. TRUMP RESPONDS AT 00.33.46:
 
Number one, your country is gonna be safe. Because, you know, if you don't have a safe country…and with people that aren't very…good at what they do, like the people…running our country now, you might very well…and don't…underestimate this, you might very well not have a safe country. And, it's so important.
 
You know, number one…the…number one thing we have to do is security, safety…; and I'm not just talking at the border. I'm talking about our military. We have to build it up. We have to…replenish it.
 
You know, a friend of mine has a son who is in…he served three terms over in Iraq. Three tours. And, he comes home and I see him! And his biggest complaint is that the enemy has better equipment than us! And it's our equipment.
 
So, we give the equipment to people that we think are working with us. You know, the old story. It has been going on for years. And a bullet is…fired in the air, they dropped the equipment and run. Brand new Humvees, brand new…everything.
And he's saying, “we have older equipment, and they have…beautiful new stuff”. And it really bothers the hell out of them. So, we're gonna take care of that, folks. We're gonna take care of it. We're not gonna let this kind of…nonsense happen anymore…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
 
We're gonna work very hard in education. Just so you understand, Common Core is dead…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. [Do] You know what Common Core is? …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. And most importantly, [the] most important thing we can do in terms of education for you and your age, we're getting education out of Washington DC run by the bureaucrats…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. And we're gonna bring the education to the local area, you around this area. We're gonna bring the education where your mother and your father, and everybody else's parents, and uncles, and every…; they…they love! They love you! Do you think your parents love you!? Huh!? They run it with love! Okay?
 
In Washington…and…and look! Not everybody's bad! But you basically have bureaucrats, they wanna make…you know, they get a lot of money. And they don't know what's going on in Cincinnati! And they don't know what's going on in Ohio! So, we're getting rid of Common Core. And it's gonna be dead. And we're going to have local…locally based education. And you're gonna see a big difference. Big difference…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. All right? Very important! Great question! It’s actually a great question.
 
Okay. How about over here? What about you, right there? Red.

ANOTHER MEMBER MAKES A QUESTION.
MR. TRUMP RESPONDS AT 00.39.23:
 
So, you know, this is six-year statute of limitations, I guess. And Hillary's fighting for a lot. You know, if she…makes it, nothing's gonna happen. And if she doesn't make it, certainly you have to look into it. You have to look into it very strongly, because…so many lawyers, whether you watch them on television, whether you read them in the newspapers, whether you see them wherever you see them, I mean, very rarely do you see a lawyer that says that she's innocent of this…this…horrible situation.
 
And you actually have to ask yourself, “what you’d do it? What's the big deal? Why would she do it? Why would she do that…other than it's always the same thing with them!?”. It's sneaking around the corner. It's sneaky, dirty stuff. It's gone on like that for years. It's gone on like that for years.
 
So, I will tell you. You know, number one: it's not me, but…certainly people are gonna look, and you know what? If there's anything wrong…and you have to do it! You have to do that. You have to do that. Because so many people have asked me that same question. And you have no idea. And she's being protected! Look, let's face it!
 
Look: it's not complicated! What she did, certainly, to me…? …is certainly she broke the law. To me! What do I know? To me she broke the law. And, it's looks so bad…from the standpoint of the rest of the country. And even from the standpoint of all those people…that did something much less! So many people did something much less! How do you think they feel!? How do you think Petraeus fells? How do you think all these other people feel? And here she is. She's got a clear path to running for president. But you know what? The first thing I have to do with Hillary is beat her. The next thing we'll do is we'll look into that. Okay? …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. I will beat her. We’ll beat her.
 
And…and, you know, it's interesting. We haven't even started on her yet. I…I gotta finish off the…we have to finish off the deck! We have to finish off the deck. And the best thing you could do, honestly? Your governor…? Remember…? NAFTA! Get rid of this…look, just…don’t get rid of him, let him be governor!

One other thing about him. He…runs for president. He's lived…in New Hampshire…forever. He…they say there he had the record. More than Chris, more than anybody by far. He lived in New Hampshire! He moved out of the state! And he said he was gonna win New Hampshire. He did poorly there.
 
He then…moved to…right? South…didn’t he? I mean, he didn't…I think he went to South Carolina. And then he moved to Michigan! Now, he said…I thought! …and I must be mistaken. But he said that he's gonna win Michigan. And he's gonna win it easily! I won it in a landslide! But he said he's gonna win Michigan. He's gonna win it easily.
 
So, he went to South Carolina. Stayed there. Lost. Lost in New Hampshire. He went to Michigan. And I thought he said, because it's a neighboring state, I thought he said he would win Michigan; and, if he didn't win, he'd give up! And let him be your governor.
 
But he moved to Michigan, he then spent all this time in Michigan…; and, you know, you people have a lot of problems! Your coal industry is dead; your steel industry is dying; that's dying badly. He's voting for the wrong things, and the TPP in particular. And you know, he should be home, be governor! But he moved to that.
 
So, now he goes to Michigan. And…two weeks ago, I won…Michigan by…a lot! By…like a landslide, essentially…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Yeah, a landslide! And…when I one Michigan, I said, “oh, good! That's good. Kasich is gonna drop out of…he's gonna drop out of Ohio. And that's good!”. But he didn't drop out! So, you know, I think you gotta show him, folks. You can't do that. You can't be an absentee governor. You’re gonna run for governor, you gotta be governor. And you know what? If you don't wanna do that, you take out.
 
And same thing with Marco Rubio! He runs for the Senate. He never shows up to vote! [The] Guy never shows up to vote! And the people of Florida…you don't think they get it!? Take a look at his poll numbers! They really get it. Because what he did to the people of Florida is defraud them! He said, “I'm gonna run! I'm gonna represent you! I'm gonna represent you!”.
 
And about 15 minutes after he got in, he starts running for president! And it's wrong! And by the way, other people running for president, they get to vote a lot more than he does! He never votes! I think he's gonna set an all-time record!
 
So…uh…so, let's see what happens. But we gotta win in Ohio! If we can win Ohio, we're gonna run the table, folks! We're gonna run the table! …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. [We/I] gotta win in Ohio.
 
Go ahead. Give her that mic. Oh, you just shout it out. Go ahead! Yeah, go ahead!

MR. TRUMP RESPONDS AT 00.44.40:
 
We're gonna make this country so strong…! We're not gonna…stand for losing 500 billion dollars a year with China; for losing 58 billion with Mexico; for losing hundreds with Japan. We're gonna make our country strong again!
 
You know, our military…okay? Our military everyone sees our military budget. They don't realize. We…take care of Germany. Nobody even probably knows that. We take care of Japan. [Do] You know that if we're attacked…we have a treaty with Japan. If we're attacked, Japan doesn't have to help us. If Japan gets attacked, we're in third world…we're in the third world war. We have a new war going on, okay?
 
Now, what kind of deals are these? What kind of deals?
 
But, we take care of…Japan. We take care of…South Korea. I…I love all these countries! I think it's great! Except we owe 19 trillion dollars! [We] can't do it! We gotta be…you know, reasonable! We can't do it!
 
So, we're taking care of South Korea. When the maniac, next door, acts up…we start up those battleships; we start up those aircraft carriers, let's say…; and we start up, you know, our planes are flying on…; we spend millions, and millions of dollars! They don't pay us! They pay us very little!
 
You know, in South Korea…and I love South Korea. I have buildings in South Korea! We have…and it…they’re great people! We have a border, in South Korea, [where] we have 28,000 soldiers. What they pay us is peanuts! What Japan pays us is peanuts!
 
So, we protect the world. Saudi Arabia is the greatest of them all. So, we protect Saudi Arabia. Until the oil went down, and now they're making half, which is still a lot; but until the oil went down, Saudi Arabia was making a billion dollars a day, right? We protect them! We protect them! And we protect him for peanuts!
 
So, all of that stuff is gonna change, folks. We're gonna end up with a strong country again. A powerful country. And would end up with a respected country again. Because we're not respected! We're not respect! …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.

I so far like this question.
 
THE MEMBER IN THE CROWD CONTINUES WITH HIS QUESTION.
MR. TRUMP RESPONDS AT 00.50.48:
 
All right. Well…let…let me just tell you. And it's a…you know, it's…it’s sort of the kind of question that's…very important. [It’s] Not exactly the most exciting question! But you know what it is…? You know what it is…?
 
Look, you have an ability to lead. You either can lead, or you can't lead. And you can learn something about leadership, but basically you're a leader you're not a leader. I'll get people together. We're gonna make great deals. We're gonna make conservative deals. We're gonna make wonderful deals. We're gonna get along with people. We’re gonna along with Democrats. We're gonna get along with Liberals. We gotta make deals!
 
You know, you can't have Obama, [where] just everything he signs, an…an executive order. And then they'll start getting thrown out by the courts at some point. And maybe not, because if the Supreme Court goes the way…I mean, all of these things will be…upheld.
 
But, look: we…need…great…leadership. We're gonna…we just discuss with this man’s…great…this great question. We're gonna be leading on education. [We’re gonna] get rid of Common Core. We're gonna lead on education. We're gonna lead on health care: We're gonna get rid of…Obamacare. [We’re gonna] Repeal and replace [it]…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS TIMIDLY. We're gonna lead with our military. We're gonna lead at the border. We're gonna take care of our vets. We're gonna do so good…! And…you know what's so important? We don't win anymore, folks. We don't win anymore.
 
You know, you look at our country…when was the last time you saw a victory with our country? We don't have any victory. We have a military [that] can't beat ISIS, right? [It] Can't beat ISIS. You look at our great generals of the past, they're spinning in their grave. They can't beat ISIS. And…we don't find them! We don't fight to win anymore. We fight to be politically correct. [If] you’re gonna have an enemy, you gotta win. You gotta win! Look at the way I'm doing! I mean, you gotta win! You gotta take them out! You gotta take them out!
 
So, look, folks. We're gonna start winning again. We're gonna be the smart country. Right now, we're not a respected country. We're going down. We're going in the wrong direction. We're gonna start winning on healthcare…; on borders…; on military…; we're gonna win so much…! You're gonna be so happy…; you are gonna remember this day, and you're gonna, more importantly, remember Tuesday when you go to vote.
 
And, in two years, and three years, and 10 years…you're gonna say, “that was the single…greatest…vote…I ever…cast”.
 
I love you! I love Ohio…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. I love Ohio…! And I love Kentucky…! And I hope you go out, and I hope you vote, and bring us home a big, beautiful victory on Tuesday!
