Wow! Oh…Indiana…! You know…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. THEN THEY CHANT ‘TRUMP!’ REPEATEDLY.
Thank you very much. Thank You, Indiana.
You love…Indiana, right? The Hoosiers! The Hoosiers! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Oh, this is so great.
You know, I wasn't supposed to be here today. I'm supposed to be here in two weeks, you know that, but I had to come early! I came early! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. I said, “what are we doing? Let's go to Indiana”. It’s true! Actually, that's a true story.
So we had a great night last night in New York, the people of New York were amazing…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. They were amazing. And I thought they would be, but you never really know! And then I started getting these phenomenal polls, and everyone said, “you're gonna win way over 50 percent” …–THE CROWD BOOS, THERE IS, APPANRETLY, A PROTESTER–…oh, that's okay. Oh, these people…! But they make it exciting, right? …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
You know the good news, look at all those reporters back there. Now they'll go and they'll train the camera. It's right over there! Look at all the people we have. Go ahead, you can get them out. Get them out! Right there, get them out…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Don't hurt them, of course. Don't hurt them.
All right, get them out…–THE CROWD BOOS. Never ends! It never end! But it does make it exciting. All right. That's right. Look, wise guy. Wise guy. Yeah, that's right. You know, Bernie's gone. You know that, don't you? Bernie’s gone…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
I love running against crooked Hillary. I love that. I mean, so much…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS–…[it’s] better, [it’s] better. Bernie wouldn't be as much fun!
All right. So, I just wanna thank you. But last night was amazing. We had a…an evening that was…and you never know with the polls, right? You know, I'm getting these polls, “he's gonna get 52 percent; he's gonna get 54 percent…”.
Then the press is saying, “oh, if he doesn't get 54 percent…”, they make it into a loss. And, you know…no…who gets 54 percent…? Very few…uh…especially, when you have two other candidates; by the way, that…are in favor of Trans-Pacific Partnership which is a disaster! That are…­–THE CROWD BOOS–…in the case of lyin Ted Cruz, ‘lyin Ted’…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. [He] lies! Ooh, he lies.
You know, Ted. He brings the Bible, holds it high, puts it down, lies. And you know, the evangelicals, they've been supporting Donald Trump. It's been great. It's been great…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. We've won a lot. We've won a lot. And…I will say this, look. You're…you're looking at…a situation in our country where our jobs are being ripped out of our states. Ripped…I'm not just talking here. They're being ripped out of our states. They’re being ripped out of our…country. Like…like I…I say it! Like candy from a baby. They're going to Mexico; they're going all over; China has been doing numbers on us for you…;
And you know, I don't mind…China! They have been doing numbers…on us…for years! We're gonna lose 500…billion…dollars in terms of…trade. In terms of balance. Look at the balance. We are…it's a one-way street! We have re…built…China with the trade deficit that is unsustainable, and it's amazing that it's been going on so long.
I told the story the other day, to show you how incredible our country is. I have a friend, he's very sick. He was supposed to pass away…a year ago. He's a great guy. [A] Tough guy. [A] Strong guy. Tough! Like a lot of the people from Indiana! I mean, he…top…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. [He’s] Not as tough as a true Hoosier, but he's tough. I will tell you.
So, he keeps lingering, and lingering, and he's lingering…; and I say, “wow!”. And I call him every day, every other day. I say, “how [are] you doing?”.
And he goes, “I'm okay! I'm okay! I'm doing good”. And, just a…an amazing guy! [He’s] Strong! And that's our country. Because when you're losing…the kind of money we do, on trade…! When we're defending the world on military, and paying for it, and don't get the respect, don't get the proper treatment, don't get anything…you look at what happens with these countries that we take care of…? It is absolutely horrible!
When our country continues to go forward, even though it's got massive problems, massive deficits…it sort of reminds me of him! Our country is being taken advantage of! And eventually, our country…is going be…in such trouble! And I'm not gonna use…cause I would never use the word, that our country is going to die. But it's going to be a much different place if we don't get smart very, very quickly on trade! …on defense! We have to build our military strong! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. We have to build it big, strong, powerful…so that we're not messed with!
You look at what Putin is doing in Russia with nukes. You look at what Putin's doing in Russia with…his military! It’s modernized! They're building all over. Wherever they feel they need, they put! We don't do that. We're getting smaller, smaller; weaker, weaker…; we have to build up our military! We have to make it strong! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
Our country right now is so…vulnerable! When general Odierno left, about a year ago, he said our country is very ill-prepared. And he said never has he seen it like this. And we're talking at a time when, probably, we have to be more prepared than at any time before! So, we're gonna build up our military. We're going to have a great and powerful military that hopefully we don't have to use…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
And by the way, and we're gonna take care of our veterans, because our veterans have not…been taken…care of…properly…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
So, one of the reasons I had this incredible victory last night…everybody's talking about. It's really nice! You know, it's a great feeling! ‘Build the wall!’. He wants to build the wall, this guy…–MR. TRUMP POINTS AT SOMEBODY SPECIFICALLY. THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. We're gonna build a wall, believe me. Believe me, that walls getting built…–THE CROWD CHANTS ‘BUILD THAT WALL!’ REPEATEDLY. I love you too. I love you too.
No, no, we're gonna have strong borders. We're gonna build the wall. And you know, when Carrier that left here, goes to Mexico…–THE CROWD BOOS–…and they wanna sell their product, across the border, and no tax, no nothing? We're gonna say, “sorry, folks! We have a nice strong border. We have a nice beautiful wall. You're gonna bring it across the border, and we're gonna charge you with 35 percent tax after what you did” …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. It's no good! It's no good!
I mean, I'm looking at…statistics. One of the reasons that New York gave me such an incredible vote, a vote far beyond what the poll said…and I'm not that…I wasn't surprised! When you look…! The vote was…incredible! It was record-setting. And it's New York! And you know what is nice? I have to say [it]. The place…that knows me best gives us that kind of…whatever! You know, it's really nice. They know me! They know the good, the bad…they know everything! They know me. And they give…and they're tough! They're tough! Like you, they're tough. And we had a great evening . And…we…it…really a great evening. It was an amazing evening.
But, here's the thing: all over New York State, we're losing our jobs. All over New York State, Long Island…the whole…place, we're losing jobs. We're losing them to Mexico! We're losing them to so many other places! And we cannot, as a country, allow this to happen again. And it's happening to you, and it's happening to every state. This isn't unique! And, I can…you know…what I did. And I always did!
I go to places. And I say, “give me…some of the statistical information…on the different places”. This is you! …–­MR. TRUMP SHOWS A SHEET OF PAPER. And…and, by the way, I have to tell you. You have a governor. governor Pence who’s really fighting hard for you…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
All right, get them out. Go! Get them out! Get him out! …–THERE IS, APPANRETLY, A PROTESTER. THE CROWD BOOS. Oh, he's got a Trump mask on. [He’s] Gotta a Trump mask. It's all right! Now, if he took the mask off people would know who he is, but that's okay.
Boy, these protestors aren't very tough around here, that's good! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
I don't know, I'm a little disappointed in…I'm a little disappointed in Indiana. I said, “get him out and he walks out”. That's a pretty easy! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. You don't even need our great police. And, by the way, the police forces of this nation…have to be given far more credit than they give them, okay? …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. They're great! They're great!
And by…and another…while…before I forget, I have to say. I have two friends in the audience, two great people. Steve Hilbert and Tomisue [Hilbert]. Where are you Steve!? Where is my Steve and Tomisue? Look at these! The greatest people…so I have to give them a shout out, [it’s] not a big deal. [It] Takes only a second, but they're too special. And everybody knows who they are. [They are] Incredible people. Thank you, thank you….very much…–THE CROWD CHEERS APPLAUDS TIMIDLY.
So, before I come up to different places, and I did it all last week. I went to Syracuse, New York; I went to Rochester; I went to Albany…; and I’d…get these statistical workouts, and here we go! Because if you look at what's happened to your coal industry, folks, we're gonna bring it back, okay? We're gonna bring it back! Clean coal! We're gonna bring steel back to Indiana! Big league! Big…league! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
But you look, and it says, “few states in America have seen income declines more than Indiana”. Now, one of the reasons is because our jobs are being gone. Indiana has lost…one in five manufacturing jobs since China…joined the World Trade Organization, [in] 2002…–THE CROWD BOOS TIMIDLY.
Ted Cruz supports Chinese…currency…cheating! That's how they kill us…–THE CROWD BOOS.
And…I have to say [this]. You know, I'm self-funding my campaign. So, when I come here, I come here…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. I got a lot of money in!
Now, I have to say, I'm proud of the fact that I have a lot of money in, but I spent much less money than these politicians! I have to say [it]! I'm proud of it! You know, if I spent more I'm just another guy. I spent a lot…a lot less.
You know, it was interesting, in New Hampshire, I spent a million and a half dollars. Jeb Bush spent…uhg…20, 30…! I don't know, some…; and I was first in a landslide. We won New Hampshire, which…is a great place. My first win was New Hampshire! I Love New Hampshire! We won…and by the way, they have a massive drug problem. They have a massive cocaine problem. And I told them, “if I get elected I'm gonna stop that problem!”. It's poisoning our youth, and you have it too…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. And we're stopping, and you know where the problem is emanating from, and everybody does. And it just keeps happening, happening, happening. So, we're gonna stop that problem.
But, it's sort of nice when somebody can spend less and get more. Isn't it nice? …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. It's like I'm building in…Washington D.C. on Pennsylvania Avenue, the Old Post Office, one of the most sought-after jobs in the history of the General Services Administration. I got it! In fact, I put Ivanka in charge. Does everybody know Ivanka? Yes! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. And I got it cause we have a great statement, and…because we have a great plan. Everybody wanted it. I mean, it was one of the most sought-after, ever! Ever in the history. And right now, the building is way ahead of schedule. It's gonna open up like a year and a half ahead of schedule, and it's under budget substantially. And I actually increase the scope! I went from…linoleum to marble. It's got…I'll tell you what. This is going to be one of the great hotels of the world.
But there's something nice! Because I’m looking at the numbers the other day, and I said, “wow! We're under budget. We're ahead of schedule. And the job is better than I ever promised the country it would be”. It's on Pennsylvania Avenue. That was very important to me! Because if I don't win the White House on Pennsylvania Avenue, then I'm just gonna stay at my hotel, and it's practically…I mean, I wanna be on Pennsylvania Avenue! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
So…so, we…I know I have your vote. This guy shouting…I have your vote. I appreciate it. I think I have a lot of votes in this room! Do I have everybody…!? …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
You know, we're gonna bring our country back, folks. We're gonna bring…we're like the people with the incompetent leaders that don't know what they're doing. They have no idea what's happening. They don't know about currency cheating, monetary manipulation. They don't understand devaluation of their currencies, that are just…absolutely eating us alive. And it's not gonna happen anymore, folks! We've gotta be the smart people.
You know, I'm a free trader. Some of these people would say, “he is not a free trader!”.
I say, “folks, I wanna be smart! We wanna have smart trade!”.
You know, somebody would say, “he is not a true…conservative!”. I am so conservative! But, we have to made great deals, right!? Right now…when we have free trade, that's fine if you have smart leaders! We have dummies. We don't have smart leaders! We don't have smart leaders! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS TIMIDLY.
So, what happens…as an example is China. China sends all this stuff over here…and by the way, they're dumping steel all over the place, and they’re knocking out your steel. You understand that. But China sends stuff over here, no tax, no nothing. “No problem, come on in folks! We don't care if it's good product, bad product…”.
When we…wanna go to China, with your companies from Indiana, it's impossible to get the product in! And if you do get it in, they tax you right through the hilt…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS TIMIDLY. I don't know if their work at…I think, yeah. I think so…–MR. TRUMP GIGGLES. Oh, we love it! Do we love this!? This is…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS VIVIDLY–…forget it! Yeah, you can get him out, it’s great.
[Do] You know the only problem? The great thing is the cameras will turn, that's the only time they turn. They always keep the camera on my face. They never…; then they never say, like, how big…look at the size of this crowd! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
But……–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS–…but when they have somebody over there, they show the crowd.
So, look. So, friends of mine in manufacturing cannot get their product into China. That is not fair trade! It's not free trade! It's stupid trade for our country, and we're not gonna do it anymore, folks ! We're not gonna do it anymore.
Now…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUD–…let's talk because this hits some. As some of you know, I've been talking for a long time about Carrier. Yeah, get him out! Get him out! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. THERE SEEMS TO BE A PROTESTER.
You know, they all came at the same time in the same little section, and they go one at a time, raise their hand…; and…and I have to tell you. We have…the safest…rallies, and probably the safest places to be, anywhere in the country! The safety here is incredible! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
You know, when I first started this, and we're getting these massive crowds. We had 35,000 people in Alabama. We had 25,000 in Tampa, And…Orlando…; I mean, we have…big crowds! And when I first started, when there'd be somebody like this…–MR. TRUMP POINTS AT WHERE THE PROTESTOR WAS–…wise guys, you know.
But when I first started, I'd say, “get him out! Get him out!”. And…and, the next day the press was…like, “oh, he was terrible! The way he talked to those people!”. You know, you have these people screaming, shouting, and punching people…; so I said, “get them out”.
[The] Next day I said, “you know, I'm gonna do it differently”. So, we had a protester. You know, they're agitators. They're professionals, most of them. Did you ever see their signs? They’re made in a…factory, probably in China. They're not made here, they’re made in China…–THE CROWD CHEERS. But they hold up a sign this factory made. I want the ones that make the signs in the garage, right? That's the ones.
But the next day, we had a protester. And I said very gently, “okay, get him out. It…be easy. Don't hurt him! Don't hurt him!”. And of course, we never want anyone to be hurt, right!? Do we agree!? No!? What are you talking about!?
So, what happened…I said, “easy. Don't do…; very easy”. And the next day…; so, they criticized me for being too tough the first day. The second day they said, “Donald Trump's not as tough as we thought”. Can you believe it? So, you can't win with these people.[MGF1] 
By the way, those people…look at all those cameras zooming. They are the most dishonest people in the world! …–THE CROWD BOOS HEAVILY. The media! They are the worst! They are the worst! They are very dishonest people! They are terrible! [MGF2] They are, ho…honestly? And I don’t mean all, but I mean like 75 [or] 80 percent. And they know it! They know it. They know. These are not stupid people, but they're very dishonest people, in many cases.
Do we like the media!? …–THE CROWD YELLS ‘NO!’. Do we hate the media? …–THE CROWD YELLS ‘YES!’. Okay. No, I don't hate anybody. I love the media. They're wonderful…–THE CROWD LAUGHS. But…hey, I guess we wouldn't be here maybe it wasn't for the media, so maybe we shouldn't be complaining, right?[MGF3] 
So, here's what's gonna happen. You have…and let's talk about, cause it's such a great example! Now, I could use Ford, they're moving…as you know, massive operations to Mexico. Nabisco, massive factory…to Mexico, ripping it right out of Chicago. But here we have Carrier! So, we're gonna talk about it, okay? We're gonna talk about it.
So, Carrier fired the 1,400 people. Are any of those people in the audience!? …–THERE IS A DISTANT YELL. MR. TRUMP ADDRESSES IT–…you gotta be kidding! Are you? When you were both fired? How long did you work there!? 26 years! You look like you're 26 years old! And 17. 26 years [and] 17 years. All right.
Well, you tell me if I'm right. So, they get fired rather ruthlessly by somebody that looked like he was upper mid-level…management. And somebody had their cell phone going! And most of you saw…the deal. And I thought it was terrible. I was sitting home, I'm watching…the news. And I see 1,400 people get fired…from Carrier. And, the man said, “we're going to Mexico. Essentially, you're fired!”. You know, I did well with that, “you're fired!”. But…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
So…that’s right, we’ll fire Hillary. “Hillary, you fired!” …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Believe me. Really, she’ll be fired. She’ll be fired! [That’s] If she ever gets a chance to run. I think she's being protected. You know, one of your local newscasters, a great person, actually, said to me, “well, what do you think of Hillary? Do you think she'll be allowed to run?!”…cause she's gonna win. Because, you know, it's a rigged system. By the way, just so you know, the Democrat system is rigged, but the Republican system is even worse, it…I will tell you…–THE CROWD CHEERS TIMIDLY.
Because, with the Democrats you have the super…delegates, and…you know, that's obvious. That's obvious. Cause you'd read all the time other than last night, “Sanders wins, wins, wins, wins, wins, wins!”. And then you see back there they’re saying, “well, Sanders can't win! The reason…!”.
Look, we got a rigged system, folks. We got a rigged system. The Republicans are worse. Here's this: I'm millions of votes ahead, millions! Millions of votes ahead of…lyin Ted Cruz, right? …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. I'm about 300 delegates ahead of lyin Ted…–THE CROWD CHEERS TIMIDLY–…and, you know, it started when I looked and I won…; and we have a great team. We have a great team. But it started when I looked at Louisiana.
I win Louisiana. We had rallies like this…tremendous crowds, and I win! And I go home. And that election was on a Saturday! So, I’m at Friday night, I'm at a massive airport hangar, [a] tremendous, thousands and thousands of people. I made a speech! Everybody was crazy: I was going…I loved it. Everybody loved it! I leave! Next day they go, they vote, I win! And then I find out I get less delegates than the guy that…I beat!
I said, “there's something wrong with the system! This system’s not working too well!”. And you know, even my enemies up there in the media, agree with me, in almost all cases. [MGF4] It's a rigged, crooked system…that's designed so that the bosses can pick whoever they want! And that people like me…can't run, and can't defend you against foreign…nonsense, and can't defend you against…China! …and Japan! …and Mexico! …and Vietnam! …and India! …and every single country you can name! Because we lose with every…; we lose…believe me, with every deal we do! So, it's a rigged system! It's rigged for the lobbyists! It's rigged for the donors, and it's rigged for the special interest. It's dishonest!
And when you win the vote, you win! You don't go and win the vote. I mean, we have a situation in Pennsylvania where I'm doing great! And if you win Pennsylvania, you get 17 delegates. And the rest of them are up for grabs! What’s…what does that mean? And then they…they can take the delegates, they can put them in aero planes and fly them [MGF5] to Resorts; they can have dinners with them; they can put them in hotels…; essentially what they're saying is they can buy the election!
And I can buy more elections than they ever thought of, believe me! …–THE CROWD BOOS TIMIDLY. But, I think it's such a bad system! It's so unfair! And it’s…it really is. I call her crooked Hillary. I can tell you, this is a crooked system! This is a bad, bad system. And…we're going to get a change! We're gonna get it straightened out…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS TIMIDLY.
Now, despite what I just said…because it's so voluminous, and our victories are so big…like last night, when you get more than 61 percent of the vote, with…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS–…remember this, with two people running!
Now, they're not the best people, but they're people! …–THE CROWD LAUGHS. But two people are running! It's hard to get over 50 percent. They wanted me so much, the media, they wanted me so much to go believe…below that 50 percent mark…!
I would have had…if I had 49.99, I would have had headlines in every newspaper: “Trump defeated! Trump…!”. Even though I beat them by 25, [or] 30 points each. “Trump defeated in New York!”. Well, anyway. We can't do that.[MGF6] 
So, what happens, the only way we can really beat the system…? We have a movement going, folks! We're in the cover of Time magazine. This is a movement! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. The only way we can beat the dishonest, rigged system is by you continuing to come out and vote. You're gonna get your chance at a few weeks. Come out and vote! And vote big league.
And…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS–…and here's the thing: I'm not controlled by somebody that gave me ten million dollars and he represents the pharmaceutical industry. I'm not controlled by people that represent…energy, and lumber, and all of the others! I'm controlled by you! I'm gonna do the right thing. I don't…I'm gonna do the right thing! [MGF7] …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS VIVIDLY.
And the truth is our country can never ever come back with these politicians. Because you have lobbyists in Washington, and they have on their forehead stamped, it says, ‘Cruz’; it says, ‘Crooked Hillary’. It says…all sorts of…because you have lobbyists that take care of Cruz!
[If] You have a company that wants to leave Indiana and go someplace, and they say, “you can't do it”. They go and they see Cruz, or they see this one or that one, any one of them! And [do] you know what happens? 100 percent. “Go ahead, folks”.
So, it's not in the best interest of our…country. And we're gonna change it. They're all bought off with campaign contributions, and super PAC money. And we're not gonna let it happen anymore! Because you're being affected. And then you wonder…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS–…then you wonder why do we have these deficits, when we shouldn’t. Why are we taking such good care of other nations? And, why are we taking care of their military? Why do we take care of Saudi Arabia, one of the richest countries in the world…making during, the higher prices, a billion dollars a day. And we defend Saudi Arabia!
And now, we know Saudi Arabia…and I have a lot of friends in Saudi Arabia, but they would not be there, for a week, if we didn't defend them. So why aren't they paying us a fair price? We're losing our shirts on every…single…thing we do, and we're gonna stop it! Okay? We're gonna stop it! –…THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. We are going to stop it!
Did you ever hear that, “we spend more money than any military in the world by many times!”. I hear it all the time. “We spend more money!”…than any military in the world! …by many times! [Do] You know why!? We're defending…Germany! We’re defending…Japan! We're defending…South Korea! We’re defending…Saudi Arabia! We’re defending many places!
Then we take care of NATO! We have 28 countries in NATO. It's an obsolete deal! I don't mean get rid of NATO, I mean modernize it! Because we have to make something for terror! We have a new enemy, it's called, ‘radical…Islamic…terrorism’, and we have to do something about it! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
And we take care of many of those countries! Many of whom are…and which are rich countries! And their delinquent! They don't pay! [Do] You know why!? Because we're not led by people that have any clue as to what's happening. Either you pay, or “bye, bye enjoy yourself defending yourself, folks”, okay? …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Enjoy it!
I mean, we have people that…we have countries that are known delinquents. You know, in our businesses we call them the delinquent, meaning they don't pay their bill! So, why aren't they paying? They're not paying because the United States has weak leadership. And [do] you know what? I'll be firm, I'll be fair, and we will have better relationships with our allies that we do right now. Believe me, better…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. And, they will pay and be and do what they're supposed to do! Because we don't have good relationships with China.
Look, we've rebuilt China. We have rebuilt. It's the greatest theft, what they've done to us, the greatest theft in the history of the world. What they've done to us…they've taken our jobs; they've taken our base…; they've taken our…money! We've rebuilt China! And you hear that when you look at the deficits! Just look at the trade deficits. Look at the kind of money you're talking about!
You go to China, [and] they're building bridges all over the place! They're building roadways! They have trains that go 250 miles an hour. We have…what do we have!? We have nothing! We have nothing! We have obsolete airports, broken roadways, schools that shouldn't even subsist.
We go to places, we'll build a school three or four times. But if we wanna build a school in Indiana, they'll say, “no, I'm sorry, we don't have any money for that”.
So, we're gonna change our way! And here's the problem: those countries that we help so much…? They have no respect for us!
So, look at China. We give them all of this trade, all of this money. They rip us off. [But if] We wanna do business there? They don't take our product. But if they do, they charged you a fortune, in tax! Their tariffs are unbelievable! Nobody talks about it. Nobody talks. But what do they do!? In the South…China…Sea…they are building…a military fortress the likes of which you've never seen. [They’re] Not supposed to do it! They're not supposed to be doing that!
And yet, we make them rich. We're the ones paying for that! So, all of that stuff ends if Donald Trump is elected president…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS–…believe me. It all ends.
You know, I was very honored over the weekend. There was a major story on Drudge, the top of Drudge. It was a fantastic guy, by the way, Matt Drudge. But, at the top of Drudge, was a major story that…the Chinese finance minister…of…high up, “is extremely angry with the rhetoric of Donald Trump!”.
And I said, “oh, that's great!”.
Now, you know, I'm a candidate. I'm running. He was very angry. [Do] You know why? Because I've exposed that they've been ripping us off for so many years! [MGF8] And I'll get along with them just fine, folks. And, I've dealt with China. I've made a fortune with China. I made an absolute…; I borrowed a million dollars when I started, and I now have a company that's worth more than 10 billion dollars. And that's the kind of thinking…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS TIMIDLY­­–…we need! Some of the greatest assets in the world. Low debt. Big cash flow. And I'm not saying that in a braggadocios way! I'm saying we need that kind of thinking in this country! Because our country is going to hell! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
And for your coal people that are in this room…[do] you know where your coal…? First of all, the…mines are all being shut down all over the country. And we're gonna have clean coal. But [do] you know where the coal goes? [It] Goes to China! They burn it, and believe me, they don't clean it! And you're talking about the atmosphere. So, give me a break. That's where it goes.
So, when this all started, it was June 16th. Who would have known this was going to happen? They all said, “Trump will never run”, these guys…–MR. TRUMP POINTS AT THE CAMERAS–…“Trump will never run! He's just having fun…”. [Do] You have another one? …–MR. TRUMP SPEAKS TO THE CROWD BECAUSE, APPARENTLY, THERE IS A PROTERSETER. Meh, so am I.
You…I…I will say this. Okay, for protesters. You know, if the crowd…didn't say anything, you wouldn't hear them. They…they have very weak voices. It's when the crowd say, “here he is! Here he is!”, the whole place goes crazy. But it's more fun doing it that way, right? Yeah.
So, this all started on June 16th, when I came down the escalator in Manhattan at Trump Tower, with my wife. And, you know, it takes guts to run for president, I'll tell you. It takes…guts! And…I felt so badly about what was happening with our country. I…look at the Iran deal, where we give around 150 billion dollars, [and] we get nothing! We get nothing! …–THE CROWD BOOS. We don't even get our prisoners back. They should have never ever negotiated that deal started until we had our prisoners back. We took our prisoners back, like simultaneously, with the checks going. It's…a disgrace! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
And don't ever forget what they did to our 10 wonderful sailors! The way they treated those 10…wonderful…sailors! And the only reason we have them back right now…you know the reason! Because the money was supposed to pass the following day. And stupid they're not! They gave them back after roughing them up, and roughing them up mentally and psychologically. Folks, when I'm running things, that stuff's not happening. [It’s] Not happening…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. [It’s] Not gonna happen.
And we're gonna have great relationship with they…they're gonna respect us again!
Hey, Putin said, “Donald Trump is a genius!”, okay? Is that nice? [It] Doesn't mean anything! “Donald Trump is a genius. He's a real leader”.
Now, you know, my people that I debate up here, these Republican…folks that have taken care of by all the…lobbyists, they said, “we want you to disavow the fact! We want you to say disavow…”.
And I said, “I'm not disavowing that statement. Not in a million years”. We'll get along with Russia. And what's wrong…with getting along with Russia? And what's wrong with getting along with other countries? And what's wrong if Russia wants to drop million-dollar bombs on ISIS!? I say, “good! Good! Good!” …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
Our military geniuses they say, “oh, we don't wanna do it. We wanna do it ourselves!”. Believe me, believe me, we will get rid of ISIS so fast…that your head will spin, okay? So fast! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
You know, for years…for years and years, I'd read about medieval times. I love history. And in medieval times they chopped off heads! But when do they do this!? Now we're living in medieval times. We're weak! We're ineffective! During one of the debates, they asked lying Ted about…about waterboarding. And he didn't wanna answer, cause it was a very…you know, it was a question: “what do you think about waterboarding?”. And he didn't wanna get involved because he was afraid it wasn't politically correct. And he gave a nothing answer! A weak, pathetic answer like we always give.
They asked me, “why do you think about waterboarding, Mr. Trump?”.
I said, “I love it! I love it! I think it’s great! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. And I said, “the only thing is we should make it much tougher than waterboarding” …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS–…[MGF9] and if you don't think it works, folks, you're wrong!
But, you know, there are laws! We have laws that we have to abide by. So, I say, “we're gonna have to strengthen the laws and toughen up the laws, and we're gonna have to make ourselves tougher!”. Because, they can chop off heads. They can drown people in steel cages, right!? They can put people…in steel cages, by 25 and 50 people, and drop them in the water…and pull them up an hour later, and we can't waterboard! How stupid are we!? How stupid are we!? …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
Don't forget! I said very strongly, “take the oil”. I made lots of predictions. And you know, a lot of people say, “oh, I'm a little bit afraid of Trump! His tone…!”. [MGF10] And, you know, “he may be fast with a trigger”. I'm the one that didn't wanna go into Iraq!  I said, “if you go into Iraq, you're gonna destabilize the entire Middle East, and Iran is gonna take over Iraq”. Take over the oil, and in addition to that, ISIS was formed! And ISIS has taken plenty of the oil.
Now, Hillary Clinton goes into Libya, and ISIS has taken over the oil! It's never…it's just…never ends.
So, what we're gonna do is we're gonna clean that mess up. You know, we're probably in there now for five…trillion…dollars! We have to rebuild our country! We're gonna knock the hell out of them, and then we're coming back, and we're gonna rebuild…our…country! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
So, when I came down the escalator there were two things: one was trade, and the other was borders. And I was very strong on borders, and I shot up in the polls! And the trade…believe me, folks, I will handle that …; you saw who was up, my…event last night, the greatest business people in the world. Call I…Carl Icahn endorsed me, many of the…; I have great, great…people. We are going to have our smartest business people. We have the best. They don't wanna be paid! They're gonna make the greatest trade deals you've ever seen. We're gonna be fair to the other side, but it's not gonna be a rip-off like it is now! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS TIMIDLY.
So, we're gonna make great trade deals. We're gonna make great border and, yes, that's true, we're gonna have a strong border.
Last week, 16,500 Border Patrol agents endorsed Donald Trump…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. It's the first time in the history that they ever endorsed a presidential candidate.
And speaking of endorsements on the border, Sheriff Joe from Arizona…Joe…Joe Arpaio…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS–…endorsed Donald Trump!
So, we're gonna have strong borders! And we're gonna make sure that people come into the country, because we want…people…to come into the country, but they have to come into the country legally! Legally! Or, we don't have a country…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
So, it started…it started off…–A MEMBER IN THE CROWD YELLS SOMETHING INAUDIBLE. MR. TRUMP ADDRESSSES IT–… ‘build that wall’. Don’t worry! Oh, they love this wall! Do we love the wall!? …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
I'll tell you what, if Mexico…and I have great respect for Mexico, I’ve…and very interesting, Vincente Fox, you saw him a couple of weeks ago. He was so angry! They asked him about the wall. They said, “will you pay…!?”…one of the big…cable networks. I won't say the one, because then the other ones all turn off. [Do you] See all the cameras that are running?
They said to him…he was the former President of Mexico, “will you pay for the wall!?”.
He said, “we will not pay for the…” and then he threw out the f-bomb. The anger…! And [do] you know why he was angry!? Cause nobody's ever talked to them! Nobody's ever said, “you have to pay”. Nobody ever said it's a one-way street! It's not a one-way street anymore! It's a two-way street. It works two ways! It works where we have to be taken care of also! The United States has to be taken care of. America first, folks! It's called America first! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. THEN THEY CHANT ‘U.S.A!’ REPEATEDLY. It is. It’s America first.
So, he's being interviewed, and he said, “we won't pay for the…”…and then he used the f-bomb! Can you imagine if I used the f-bomb!? I would be…these guys…–MR. TRUMP POINTS AT THE CAMERAS–…I'd be on every paper all of the…; nobody even reported! He actually used it on a major…station. And he used the f-bomb! I said, “I can't believe it! Oh, he's gonna get killed tomorrow”. No…nobody wrote it.
But here's what I loved: his anger was so incredible! Because he couldn't believe that somebody would say they have to do something. Because you know what? Mexico…and again, I have thousands of Hispanics that work for me, they're phenomenal people, okay? [They’re] Phenomenal people. Thousands! Tens of thousands over my lifetime…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. They're phenomenal people!
And by the way, I won the state of Nevada. They did a poll with Hispanics coming out, and Donald Trump was by far number on the polls…uh…with the Hispanics, number one the poll! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
But here's the good news. He said, “we won't pay”. But a year before he said, “we will never allow a wall!”. Now he accepts the wall, that's the good news. And believe me folks, they'll pay.
So, when I get off the debate stage, one of the people that I’m debating comes over: “Donald, you know…!”…this was at the beginning. How well did I do in the debates? I never did that stuff before! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Number one. Center stage, every single time, right? [In] Every debate. And they all said, “good job!”. We did a good job.
But they came off and they said, “you know Donald will never be able to build a wall”. Why…why not? Why not?
In China, they built a wall, 13,000 miles long. Think of that, 30…China…! They didn't have Caterpillar Tractors either. China built a wall that was 13,000 miles…long. This wall is a thousand miles because we have left…–THERE IS A SUDDEN NOISE COMING FROM THE CROWD–…oh, that's okay. Where is he? Let me see what it looks like. Let me see…–THE CROWD BOOS. Where is he?
Yeah, get him out of here! Get him out! Get him out of here! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
You know, somebody said [that] they obstruct our free speech, which is true! You know, we took over this place, and…they do! And we could throw him in jail, but…I don't know. We don't wanna ruin somebody's life, right? It’s too tough. [It’s] Too tought! He’s screaming ‘put him in jail!’…–MR. TRUMP GIGGLES. THE CROWD TOO. Would you wanna go to jail!? I don't think so, no. I don't wanna ruin his life! You know, he was told to do it by somebody.
Hey, did you see in New York? We had protesters in New York. And they went out, the press, at a hotel that I had built on 42nd Street. And the press goes out, and they're interviewing these protesters. And they’re saying, “why are you here!?”. And the guys holding a sign, and the sign was backwards…–THE CORWD LAUGHS.
“Why are you here!?”
“Uhm…I don't know!”…­­­–THE CROWD LAUGHS TIMIDLY.
Another one what do you think of Donald Tr[MGF11] ump!?”.
“I like him. He’s good!”…–THE CROWD LAUGHS. I'm telling you! It's such a phony deal, folks! And I haven't had a lot of protesters like that. I'm actually…sort of disappointed, but I haven't had a lot lately. Cause they do make it exciting. But they went out and they interviewed the people! They didn't even know why they were protesting! It's a total, phony deal. There's so much phony stuff! Between the republican party voting, and the democrats! Between…banking systems where it's a phony deal, the economy…! We're gonna straighten the country out properly! And we're gonna do a job! You're gonna be so proud of your country, I'm telling you! You're gonna be so proud.
So, I wanna finish up because…uh…you know, when I came here I said the media thing, cuz…long before. I knew I would even be doing. I've been hearing about Carrier. I bought a lot of Carrier air-conditions over my life. And by the way, I'm not buying any more if you don't mind, okay? No more Carrier…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
But…so, here's what happens. Here's what happens. My wife says, and my daughter Ivanka, they say, “dad, be more presidential!”, right? Be more presidential! Now, as president, I'm not supposed to be calling up air-conditioning companies, do we agree!? I'm not supposed to be calling. Yeah, get them out! Right now! Get them out! …–THE CROWD BOOS. THERE IS A PROTESTER IN THE ROOM. Come on, police, I gave you a big build-up before, police, get them out.
But I wanna do it myself, because it's so…easy!
So I'll call up. Can you imagine? I'm sitting in the Oval Office, but…I'll have a little free time, and it's too easy! I don't have to give those ones to Carl Icahn or any of the…;  I’d call up the head of Carrier, I’d say, “congratulations, I hear you're moving to Mexico”.
“Yes, Mr. president, we are!”.
I said, “well, let me just tell you something, folks. I hope you enjoy your plant. I hope you enjoy the very hot weather. But you're leaving Indiana, and we're gonna protect the people of Indiana! You’re leaving Indiana…” …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
…“and here's the story, for you. And please, take it back to your shareholders: every…single…time you make an air conditioning unit, you're gonna have a major tax to pay when you sell it in the United States” …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
Now…now, remember this. Remember this. [It’s] The only way. You know, our politicians have been working on this problem for five years. Nothing ever happens. Cause they don't understand. This is the only way. They wanna give incentives, they wanna…that's an incentive. And when they do, the new numbers…it doesn't work.
And here's what's gonna happen: if it were a guy like…uh…lyin Ted, they'll call them up, and they'll say…the lobbyists will call him, the special interest, they’ll all call. He'll say, “oh, okay.We won't do anything”.
If it's Hillary…crooked Hillary. If it's Hillary, somebody will call her, one of the special interest groups; and she’ll say, “oh, okay. Okay. We will leave them alone”.
If it's me, nobody can call me! Do you know how much money I've turned down!? I feel so foolish! I've turned down so…much…money! I could have had a fortune and run for office! I would have met…you know, Jeb Bush raised a 148…million…dollars! Do you believe that!? What a waste of money that was! All right? Man! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
I would have had four times more money in half the time, and I turned it down. In fact, sometimes I feel foolish! You know, my whole life…I'm a business person, so you'll understand this. My whole life, I take…as a businessman! I take! I take, take, take! I'm greedy. I take! And you know what? Now I’m taking for the American people, that's what I'm gonna do…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS–…no, we're not gonna let…we're not gonna let this stuff happen! We're not gonna let this stupidity happen![MGF12] 
So, here's the story. So, Kerry's gonna say to me, “well, we're not gonna do it”. Good! I'll say, “good. Very good. Tax”.
Now, here's what happens. Within 24 hours, they will call back, “Mr. President , we've decided to stay in Indianapolis…!”…where you gonna have a good football team this year, by the way! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. …in Indianapolis, Indiana! “We're gonna stay in Indiana, Mr. President. We've decided to stay”.
Because, let me tell you, when you do what I say, [if] they wanna leave it’s fine! But there have to be consequences when they leave! There are no consequences…when these counties…when they fire my two friends over there…raise your hand again! …-MR. TRUMP POINTS AT THE PEOPLE THAT WORKED AT CARRIER–…do you like the idea of taxing the hell out of those air-conditioners !?
We lose on trade! We have a trade deficit with Mexico…of 58…billion…dollars a year! And I have these politicians that are on the stage with me saying, “Mexico will never pay for the wall”.
The wall is gonna cost ten billion dollars. Believe me, if we're losing that kind of money on trade, and if we want ten billion, which is a tiny fraction of the money we're talking about…only the worst business person in this room couldn't make a deal. That deal will be made…100 percent! And it will be a serious wall! It will be a real wall! It will be a lot higher than the sort of low ceiling! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
And it will be…remember! If they ever get up to the top of that wall, they're gonna look down and they’re gonna say, “oh, boy, this is gonna be painful. I don’t wanna go down”.  No, we're gonna have a real wall! We're gonna take care of those two guys and your other…your other 1300…you understand what I'm gonna say, right? We're gonna take care. Will you spread the word to the ten…? We will get them. And maybe it's not even too late! They ought to do this fast! Let them tell them, “you're gonna pay a damn tax when you leave this country! And you think you’re gonna sell product because we're all so stupid!” …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS VIVIDLY.
We have leaders that don't know what they're doing! We have leaders that are stupid people! And we have leaders that are corrupt people! They're controlled by their campaign contributions, and believe me, if I were in office right now, Carrier would not be leaving Indiana, that I can tell you. That I could tell you…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
So folks, here's the story. This was a stop that was unexpected, and frankly, after two days…like…look at this crowd. But I told my people, “I wanna go to Indiana!”. Indiana's gonna be very important, because…we have a movement going on that's on the cover of Time magazine many times! We have a movement going on that everybody is talking about! We have a movement going on…I did Bill O'Reilly tonight, so you'll watch…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
We have …I just did him! I did him backstage! I couldn't hear a question, because you people were making so damn much noise I couldn't hear his questions! I couldn't hear his questions! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
But watch O'Reilly tonight. But you know, last night I was watching O'Reilly, and he was talking about the movement! And he said [that] in his lifetime…think of this, this is Bill O'Reilly…FOX. He said [that] in his lifetime…he have never seen anything like…what…he said ‘I've done’, but what we've done. He said he's never seen…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. He said it's the most important…and think of this! He said…and I'm…you know, pretty much…paraphrasing, but pretty much this way. He said, “it is the single…most…important…event…political event, that he has seen in his lifetime!”. He said, “with the possible…exception of the killing of JFK! That's a big statement, okay? That was a big statement. And I'm watching and I’m saying, “really!?”.
And the truth is, it is a massive thing that's happening in our country. Because we don't wanna be…the stupid people anymore. We don't wanna be the people that haven't had an effective…wage increase in 20 years! And we're working longer hours, and we're getting older. We don't wanna be people that had taken advantage of, both militarily and economically by every…single…nation…in the world, with this free trade stuff…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS–…and I believe in free trade, but it's not working for our country! It works for their country! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
So…so here's the story, folks. I want you…and I say this sometimes when I'm in the right mood, when I think somebody…I mean, this is an amazing group of people. To think…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS TIMIDLY–…to think of the time of day and the whole thing, to have…a building this big packed into the corners…;
Here's the story: our country…doesn't…win anymore! We don't win on trade! We don't win with our military, we can't even beat ISIS. We don't win…can you imagine…Douglas General MacArthur if you gave him the word to knock out ISI? It would take him…three days! General George Patton, who…was not a politically correct person…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS–…so he could probably never be a general, a colonel…probably couldn't be a sergeant, or a corporal! General George Patton.
You say, “general, knock out ISIS”.
“Yes, sir!”. Three days later, I say…where’s ISIS!? They’re gone! Okay? …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
We dropped leaflets…you know, we go over the oil trucks. I've said, “take the oil!”. I didn't wanna go into Iraq, but when we got out, we shouldn't have gotten out the way we got out! We shouldn't have said the day we're leaving! And we should've left some people behind! And we should have kept the damn oil, okay!? …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
And now who has the oil!? ISIS has the oil! And, essentially, Iran is gonna have all of it, because they're going in as sure as you…; you know, for years they fought. They fought each other. They were the same military might. So, they’d go here, here, here, here…! They’d fight for four or five years, they’d rest. Then they started…; this went on for a long time.  We come in we obliterate one, and the other is now just walking in. The way we got out of Iraq is disgraceful. The way we got out of Iraq…remember this, is disgraceful.
So, what I say is the following: we should have kept the oil, we didn't keep the oil. Right now, when we go over the oil…[do] you know what we do? We drop leaflets, to let them know “we're gonna start bombing”. We tell the truck drivers, “please, evacuate your truck, because in one hour, we're coming to bomb…”. No more! They wanna drive a truck!? Oh…! Oh, it's gonna be a painful drive! It's gonna be a painful…[a] painful drive! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
So, here's the story folks! You're gonna remember…this…beautiful afternoon in Indiana. And you're gonna say you had a good time, but more importantly, in a couple of weeks, when it comes time for Indiana to vote, you're gonna go out and vote. And you're gonna look back at that vote, and you're gonna say…that that was the single…greatest…and most important vote that you've ever cast, because…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS–…when you cast that vote…our country is gonna start winning again!
We're gonna win on trade! We're gonna win with our military! We're gonna win for our vets! We're gonna win with Common Core! We're gonna knock it out, and we're gonna bring education local …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
You're going to win with healthcare! We are going to terminate Obamacare and replace it with something…so…much…better! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
You're gonna win with your second Amendment…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS–…because our Second Amendment is under siege! And we need our Second Amendment!
And we're gonna win on our borders. We're gonna have strong, beautiful borders. People come in legally. We're gonna have the wall. Everything is going to be a win!
And you're gonna say, “you know what? When I cast that vote…for Donald Trump…to be President of the United States, and when he won, shortly thereafter, our country became great again! We started to win again!”. And believe me, we're gonna win, win, win! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
Remember: make…America…great…again! Go out and vote!
Thank you! Thank you very much, everybody! I love you! Thank you! Thank you very much! Thank you!
