------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Oh, thank you! Thank you!
Eugene! What a great place! [It’s] So beautiful! [It’s] So beautiful! Thank you. Thank you.
So, you might have heard that I just got back from Indian, and that was very, very successful…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. They are great people. They’re were incredible people. Bobby Knight helped me a lot, I have to tell you. Bobby Knight, he was great…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS TIMIDLY–…tough, and smart. And he likes to win. Our country doesn't win anymore. He likes to win! I like people to wanna win right! We gotta win! Right? You’d better believe it.
But we had an incredible period of time, and…you know, I started off, [and] there were a total of 18, actually, if you had Gilmore. We’ll add Gilmore, right? So with Gilmore was 18 people…senators, governors…people of very, very substantial success. And one after another…one, two, three…! I love it! Do you love it!? Do you love it!? …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. And…many people they’re talking it…as a phenomena. Look at this, we come up here…it's…an afternoon, we're not supposed to be here. You're supposed to be going out, doing whatever the hell you wanna do, and here, we are we sit together, and I'll tell you, this is…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS–…this is something special that's happening, folks. It really is. [It] Is something special.
And it's all over like this. We go to Alabama, we had 35,000 people. We'd have…as big as the auditorium. Look at this big room, and look right back to the corners. By the way, you have thousands of people outside, please, please, Mr. fire department, let them in, okay? Just let them in. Let them in. …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
We have plenty of exits, right? Besides that, what's gonna burn? It's a concrete floor, there's not a lot, right? …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
So, we had…uh…they're coming in now, we…do you want us to wait about an hour or not? No, let’s…–THE CROWD YELLS ‘NO!’. We’ll…the hell with them, right!? The hell with them! No, they’re coming in as we speak.
But we had an amazing period of time! You know, we had 18…people all together. And, when I first started, they all said, “these are the most talented…this is the most talented group of people…”. I remember…uh…from FOX, Charles Krauthammer…–THE CROWD BOOS–…very average, very average, believe me! He's a very average…uh…very average up here. So, he was up…–THE CROWD LAUGHS–…no, he is. He thinks he's not average! You know, he was pushing the war. “Oh, we gotta go into war! War! More war! War!”, oh, great job. Four trillion dollars later, we got nothing, we have nothing! So he was pushing it.
But Charles Krauthammer, remember, before I decided to do this he said, “we have the finest…group of…talent ever assembled in the history of Republican politics”, right? “In the history of Republican politics, there's been nothing like this group, there's no reason for Donald Trump to ever enter this race…”…–THE CROWD BOOS–…“the challenge is extraordinary!”.
So, you know, but I hear that, and what do I know? I…I…I don't do this, I've been doing this for nine months, so what the hell do I know!? So, I'm listening to this guy, and [MGF1] I've watched him, and he makes so many errors, and nobody catches them on it, although O'Reilly sometimes does. But, I'm listening to this guy…[he’s] so wrong, [he] thinks so much of himself, I think! I actually think, maybe he doesn't. But he's talking about this tremendous talent and I said to my wife, I said, “what a minute. I listened to this guy, Krauthammer, saying it's the finest…group…of…people…ever to enter a political race in the history of the Republican Party”, or something to that effect. I said, “what am I doing!? Why am I doing this!? This is talent! Why am I doing this!?”
And then, about…a month later I said, “all right, I’m gonna do it”, cause I couldn’t stand watching the Iran deal; I couldn’t stand us getting pushed around by ISIS! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. I couldn’t stand when I look at our military!  I couldn’t stand…looking at the worst trade deals, the…dumbest people in the world are making the worst trade deals…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS–…and you’re a big beneficiary of that stupidity, I have to tell you.
And I said to myself, “we’re gonna do it!”. And I stood at the top of the escalator, with my wife. I took a deep breath. This is not easy, folks, I mean, this is work! Especially when I hear all about this talent…–THERE IS A SUDDEN NOISE COMING FROM THE CROWD, APPARENTLY A PROTESTER–…thank you, man. I thought they’re were protesters, but they're on our side! I always say…friend, or foe? Friend or foe!? …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Friend or foe!?
Well, I love our protesters, because the only way we get the cameras to turn around and show how many people…; look at these corners! Corner, corner, corner…! …–MR. TRUMP POINTS ALL AROUND…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Wow! This is a hell of an impressive grupo! One thing I'll say, nobody gets the crowds there Trump gets, and nobody has more fun than we do! And the subject is no good! Because our country is going to hell! But the good news is, we're gonna make America greater, greater, greater…than ever before! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS–…okay? I’m telling you. We're gonna make our country greater than ever before!
I've gotta know the people, and believe me, we're gonna just see special. So, I just said, “come on, let's go”. I took a deep breath. I look downstairs at Trump tower, big building, big floors, and it was a sea of these guys! …–MR. TRUMP POINTS TO THE CAMERAS–…[the] most dishonest people in the world! Look at them! …–THE CROWD BOOS. Look at them all back there. Look at them all, whoa! Whoa, that's a big group of people! That's a lot of people back there! Where the hell do they come from!? Look at that!
How would you like to be doing this two or three times a day, and always live television? And you know, you spew thousands and thousands of words…really, hundreds of thousands of words! And if you do one…little…mistake…one little it's off, they say, “Donald Trump today…said…”. I mean, give me a break! And [do] you notice, no teleprompters, no speeches…!? I just have some statistics…–MR TRUMP SHOWS A SHEET OF PAPER. THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS VIVIDLY–…no…no…! “Ladies and  gentleman, I’d like to thank you…”–…MR. TRUMP MOCKS THE STYLE SOME POLITICIANS HAVE, READING STRAIGHT FROM THE SHEET OF PAPER–…no…uh…these are just statistics on…how we’re doing in Oregon! [MGF2] 
And…a little…shaky, a little shaky. But don’ worry, it’s gonna be great when we straighten things out. We’re gonna be great…–THE CROWD CHANTS ‘WE WANT TRUMP!’–­…thank you, fellas.
So, anyway. So, I come down the escalator, I say to my wife, “come on, we have to do it”. I didn't wanna do it! You know, I have this great company…it's an amazing company! And, some of the greatest assets in the world. And I said to myself, “we have to do it!”. You know, the country's been great to me, and I'm putting back. Boy, am I putting back! I didn't know I was gonna be doing this. [I’m] supposed to be taking it easy, instead I’m going in reverse! …–THE CROWD LAUGHS TIMIDLY.
But you know, so I came down and honestly, it was like…look at all of them back there! This is like…a meeting! Here we are…look at the press! The press…they must think this is an important place! Cause that's more than average! I'm trying to figure that out. So, why does Eugene, Oregon…have more than average!? Because it's a great place, I guess! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Boy, it is a great place! It's beautiful!
By the way, I have to tell you, the trip in? [It was] So beautiful! The fields, the trees…! And look at all these strong people out here in the audience! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. [Do you] See, years ago I would have said, “look at all these strong men”, but today of you say, that they say, “you're sexist! That's horrible!”. Hillary Clinton would say, “that was a horrible statement! He said, ‘look at the strong men!’. He should say, ‘look at the strong people!’”. It has gotten so out of control, I have to tell you! It is so out of control! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS[MGF3] .
And just a little side note before we figure…you know, before we do our little escalator trip, but just a little side note. So, I just learned…that crooked Hillary…–THE CROWD BOOS–…along with her friend…you know, she's got this goofy friend named Elizabeth Warren. She's on her Twitter read. She's a goofus! She is a goofus! So, Elizabeth…[did] you ever see her? I mean, this woman…she's a basket case.
By the way, she's done nothing in the United States Senate. She's done nothing. I'd love to run against her if I came from Massachusetts. You know, I did great in Massachusetts. I won Massachusetts with almost 50 percent of the vote.
Now…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS TIMIDLY–…it helped, in all fairness, that Tom Brady likes me, right? That helped, okay? Having him as my friend. But I won the thing by a landslide.
And I was watching FOX, this…guy…this horrible guy that said, “Donald Trump…”, you know, I've been getting 60 and 70 percent. But we had…18 people! And, this…dope…tonight on FOX said, “you know, uh…Donald Trump got 42 percent of the vote, and…”. I had seven…people…and eight people, and 14 people, and…16 people in these contests…!
And Krauthammer says it too, “he hasn’t broken 50!”. Well, by the way, about four weeks ago I’m breaking 50 like it's clockwork now, okay? …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. And guess what, I'm breaking 60! And we had three people! And we had three people.
But, you just think about it. So, I hear that…goofy…Elizabeth Warren, and…and I'm serious! This is a woman who has not done anything in the United States Senate. And they say, “oh, she's a super liberal!”. And you know, her whole career is a fraud, because she goes out and she says she's a Native American! I won't use the word ‘Indian’, because they say it's not a nice word to use. [MGF4] So, I will not say ‘Indian’.
She is a native American five percent! And therefore, her whole career, because she was a minority…that's a disgrace, what's going on in our country. So, goofy Elizabeth Warren…I think that Hillary…should ruN…with goofy Elizabeth Warren! I would love to beat them! I would to beat them! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
So…so, I just heard…you know, they're doing the whole…she plays her woman's card, right? Hillary…Hillary Clinton plays…it's the only card she has. Because, honestly? Without that card, She would get nobody voting for her! Nobody! So, every time you see something where…like, you're very nice, but not nice enough to a woman! [You] Have to be very careful. So, you're very nice but not…“did you see Donald Trump, the way he spoke to her!?”. I mean, give me a break!
So, I just heard…that she's got all of her friends from Wall Street, and by the way, I know her friends better than she does. They will get…–THE CROWD LAUGHS–…more done…by contributing to her campaign. So, they've got all the friends from Wall Street. And…I don't even think she should be winning, because you know, the system's rigged. It was rigged for me. The Republican system was actually better, because it was less obvious the rigging.
And I realized…you know, cause I'd win like…Louisiana. And then I'd find out, “where are my delegates?”. And they’d take him out to dinners; and they get him hotel rooms; and they take them on a yacht…!
And all of a sudden I said, “wait a minute, I won the state, why don't I have as many delegates…as a guy who came in fourth!?”. [MGF5] And, it happened! And I started to learn the system. And then, I realized. The only way I was going to win, like a boxer, you gotta knock them out. That way you don't have to rely on the judges, right? …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. You gotta knock them out! Knock them the hell out! And I won with such massive margins!
New York, I had 62 percent. I won every…single…County! Pennsylvania, every…single…County! We went to Connecticut, every…single…County! I won with men! I won, much more importantly, with women, big league! [I] Won with Hispanics, with African Americans! We're gonna put our country together folks, I'm telling you! And we're gonna bring jobs back like you have never seen before.
So…so, so…I just learned [that] they have a 90 million dollar fund, where they're gonna do negative ads, and their…ads…about me…and adds about women. First of all, nobody respects women…more than Donald Trump, I'll tell you. Nobody! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Nobody! Nobody respects women more. My…my daughter Ivanka always says, “daddy, nobody respects women more than you, daddy. What are they talking about?”.
So, here's the story folks. They're gonna do adds…about me. And they’re gonna say…you know, take a statement where I'm on Howard Stern, and we're kidding…; don't forget! I was never gonna run for office! This just happened like nine, [or] ten months ago. And boy, did we beat these people! Am I doing a good job!? Right!? Right!? …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
On one of the shows this morning, they showed the margin…margin of victory. I mean, boom, boom, boom, boom!
Somebody said, oh, so why won't he beat Hillary Clinton?”. And a poll just came in, Rasmussen, which is one of the most respected polls. Guess what, folks, I haven't started on crooked Hillary yet! Guess what! We're leading by two points, okay!? We’re leading! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
So…so, they’re gonna do this 90 million dollar ad campaign. And I said, “[do] you know what? I don't wanna play dirty”. I'm a very clean fighter. I took these people out. And, you know, Jeb Bush, as an example, who's a very low-key, very low-key person…–THE BOOS–…well I wanted to be ‘low-key’ cuz it's nicer than saying ‘low-energy’! …–THE CROWD CHEERS. And the only reason I'm not nice, she said, “I'm not going to do…–INAUDIBLE. I'm not…”.
But you know, all these guys like this…this…guy…Lindsey Graham, he knows less about the military than my ten-year-old son, Barren. Barren plays military soldiers. He knows more about the military…! He said, “I've been fighting ISIS for many years! How dare Donald Trump tell me what to do!?”. The guy…we're fighting…if you have him, you'll be fighting ISIS for many more years, believe me!
I’d beat him so badly…! And all he does…! Then he goes out and he endorses one guy: no good; another guy, no good; then he endorses…Jeb Bush, like right before he drops out! And he goes on television, and he spews hate about me! [He] Spews hate! And I said, “wait a minute, that's a guy…that I defeated so badly, that he went home, and he started to cry”, okay? He started to cry! …–THE CROWD LAUGHS. And now he says, “I won't vote for Donald Trump. I…by…I won't endorse him”.
Now, here’s the thing: so they signed…a pledge! [Do you] Remember? Everybody wanted me to sign a pledge, right? They didn't care about anybody else, cuz…who to help care about everybody else!? 24 million people watching the first debate. 23 million people, on CNN, a couple of weeks later…; the largest…audience…in cable history! The largest audience in the history of CNN. Do you think that was because…of…Lindsey Graham!? Huh!? I don't think so!
So, that the largest audience in the history…of CNN. The largest audience…in cable, 24 million! That's like…you know, big stuff, right? And…that's the way it is!
So, what happens is…we go out, we go through it, and…that's what's going to happen with Hillary! We are going to have such a victory of her! We…people don't understand! Women…you know, then somebody said, “he is not doing well with women!”. Well, let me tell you. Women want strength! They want border security! They want a strong military! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. They don't want a woman that sits at home at three o'clock in the morning, and she's sleeping, and she doesn't answer the telephone, which he didn't! [Do you] Remember her ad!? “I will be there to answer the phone!”. She was sleeping! She was sleeping! The last thing you need…is another Clinton. That…whole deal was a disaster.
You look at what NAFTA…has done to this country! I just left New York, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Maryland…! I just left states that have been…decimated by this bill signed by the Clintons! …–THE CROWD BOOS. Terrible! So, anyway.
So, they're doing…90 million dollars’ worth of ads. And a lot of the ads are me…and…women, saying ‘having fun’ with Howard Stern; the Megyn Kelly…who, by the way, I give her a lot of respect. She called me. She called me. And she said, “I'd like to see you”.
Now, if I was wrong she would have done that, and I respect her for doing it! She called me, she said, “I'd like to see you”. She came to Trump Tower! I didn't go to FOX, and we didn't meet on neutral territory! Megan called me. I really do, I have a lot of respect for this. She called me, we sat down, we talked. Everything's fine. I mean, everything's fine. This isn't a woman that I…and I said nothing wrong! Because I never finished my statement! [Do you] Remember I said…like…blood coming out of her eyes! Blood coming out of her…wherever! I was talking her eyes, or her nose…!
Everybody said, “oh, that's terrible, what he said!”. I didn't say anything! I never even finished…uh…you know why I didn't finish the sentence!? Because I love what I'm doing so much, and I didn't wanna waste any more time, who cares!? So when I didn't finish the sentence, they all figured…coming from someplace else.
And because they have all dirty minds…I never even thought about it! That was that what I was…I was thinking of ears or nose! …–THE CROWD LAUGHS. But that's it! But Megan came up, and…we had a great talk, and that was it! And I'll do her show. In fact, I’ve done her show. And I loved it, other than I didn't like the way I looked! I…it was the worst I've ever looked on television! …–THE CROWD LAUGHS. Maybe she set me up! …–THE CROWD laughs. Maybe she…it’s the worst I've ever looked on television! To me, the look is important. You know, the look is important! Don King, the big boxing promoter…he would say, “you have the look! The look…!”. I mean, the look’s important! Now, we're not supposed to say that, but the look is important, okay!? You know, there are other people, they could say the same words as I'm saying, and it's not gonna work too well. Look at these…–MR. TRUMP POINTS AT THE CAMERAS–…sometimes they’ll look.
But…but let me just tell you. So, what they're doing…just remember this, what they're doing is 90 million dollars of ads on Donald Trump, and to do a lot with the women's issue, right? And I'm saying to myself, but nobody…in this country, and maybe in the history of the country politically, was worse…than Bill Clinton with women! He was a disaster! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. He was a disaster!
I mean there's never been anybody like this! And she was a total enabler! She was…go after these women, and destroy their lives! I mean, have you ever read what Hillary Clinton did to the women, that Bill Clinton had affairs with!? And they're going after me with women!? Give me a break, folks! Give me a break! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
And I see her all the time! She's saying, “Donald Trump…whoa, he said something! It was a little bit off with the woman…! [He] Can't do that!”; or, “he was on Howard Stern show, and they were…”.
And again, remember this: if I ever thought I was gonna run for office, I would have  not done Howard’s show, [I] would have talked a little bit differently. We wouldn't have had fun. I would have said, “Howard we cannot discuss this subject”… …–THE CROWD LAUGHS. “I, some day, in 20 years will run for president, and therefore…”. So, they take clips in a 15 years old, or…five years old! Cause, honestly folks, I never thought I'd be doing this.
But just think of it, Bill Clinton was the worst in history, and I have to listen to her talking about it? And just remember this: she was an unbelievably nasty, mean enabler. And what she did to a lot of those women is disgraceful! So, put that in her bonnet, and let's see what happens, okay? Within 90 million dollars in ads…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. 90 million!
And I just went through a smaller…run. In Indiana, they spent nine million dollars on me, hitting me with ads…that were horrible. Mostly untrue. Some…meh…some were a little true…–THE CROWD LAUGHS–…but mostly untrue. I have to say ‘mostly’! You know, a couple of times they got me. I said, “oh, I think not…”; I don't even mind! You know, when they get me, I don't mind! It's like when these…dishonest people back here…–MR. TRUMP POINTS TO THE CAMERAS–…the world's…most…dishonest…people: the media…–THE CROWD BOOS. No, look at all of them. Look at all of them.
And they protect Hillary Clinton. You know what? They protect her, they're totally protective of her. So, they are…the world's most dishonest people. I'd use much stronger language, but there's too many…great women in the room. But look at these people! And look at all those cameras going. They are horrible people, they never show the size of the audience. Unless we have a heckler, in which case, they do because they think it's a bad thing, right? So, I love our hecklers! I usually like them in the corners, up in the corner someplace, because then the cameras…;
You know, I went four…major…speeches…before we had a heckler. And I said, “did you see how many people were there?”. This is when I first started, 10 months ago.
And my wife would say, “no, they never show”. They just show my face. They don't wanna show the people.
We had, in West Virginia the other day, a crowd you wouldn’t like…35,000 people. Most of them couldn't get into this massive, massive plate. And I said to my wife, “did you see that crowd!?”.
“No, I didn't”.
I said, “why not?”. No hecklers. All those people, [and] no hecklers.
Hillary had hecklers yesterday, did you see it!? …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. And these were meek, and mild hecklers…; these are…these are…really weak, and pathetic hecklers, but…–THE CROWD LAUGHS–…they were…I think they were from Bernie. I think they came…so, these are meek, mild hecklers. And it threw her off! You know how longer speech lasted? It…last…[it] lasted 11…think of this, 11 to 13 minutes! …–THE CROWD BOOS. Me? We power through it, right!? We power through it! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
But the truth is, we don't have that many hecklers. We don't have that many. But I love my hecklers,  because it's the only way.
So, I went like four things, then we had this guy, [he] had a voice like Pavarotti. He’s screaming, and screaming…! And it was nasty…yeah, don't worry about that person…–MR. TRUMP POINTS TO THE CROWD–…that person is all right. Don't worry. You know, a lot of times my people are worse than the heckler. You'll have a heckler that nobody can hear cause they have weak voices, right? …–THE CROWD LAUGHS TIMIDLY. But my people are going, “here, here, here!”. We're drive this guy…; okay, don't…just leave him alone. Let him shout. I can't hear him, so…it's okay.
But…but, here's the thing. Here's the thing. So, I went four times, and I didn't know, and nobody knew how…big our crowds were. And I thought the cameras were in a stationary position. You know, new equipment. I think it, “well…”…because, look! Look at them! They always look right at me. And then I saw heckler! And the cameras were bent around like pretzels! They were like this! …–MR. TRUMP DRAWS A LOOP WITH HIS HAND. THE CROWD LAUGHS. They were in the back corner of the room, they're going…! So, that's one of those things.
But, we are gonna do things that you've never seen. And I love being with you people. I…I do. I love being…I love this part of the world, I love this part of the country…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. It's an amazing part. It's an amazing place!
But I asked my people, these are statisticians. Can you imagine? I don't wanna knock them, cause one of my statistician’s here. But I asked my…statisticians. I said, “do me a favor, get me some information on Eugene, Oregon. How we’re doing”, okay? …–THE CROWD. Not great! Not great! What's going on with you, guys!? Not great, let's go!
Well, you know what? You need help from the federal government! The federal government is allowing other countries to rip this country off like you've never seen and, I hate to say it, Oregon's being ripped off also! So, timber is a crucial industry in Oregon, but it has been hammered by federal…oh, why are we surprised? …by federal regulations, right? …–THE CROWD BOOS.
Oregon was three-fourths of its timber mill since 1980s. Is that possible? 3/4s! That's a lot of timber mills, right? So, rural Oregon has been devastated by soaring poverty, joblessness, and hopelessness. Other than that, you're doing great, right? …–THE CROWD LAUGHS. That's a bad statement. Timber jobs have been cut in half since 1990. We're gonna bring them up, folks! We're gonna do it really right. We're gonna bring them up, okay? …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. The number of people on food stamps in Eugene, Oregon has tripled…since the year 2000. By the way…–THE CROWD BOOS–…this is like this all over.
When I was in…New York, where we won by a massive amount…like a massive amount…I won everything! When I was in New York, I toured the state. Now, I know New York well, but I went up to Syracuse, I went to Albany, I went to Rome,, New York, not the other Rome. I like Rome, New York. But we went to Rome. We went out to the island, Bethpage. And, it was…it was…unbelievable what you saw. The…destruction of NAFTA, signed by Bill Clinton, a disaster…–THE CROWD BOOS.
You know, he doesn't get enough negative credit for what he did with NAFTA. NAFTA is a disaster, okay!? NAFTA…has destroyed…big, big sections of our country. If you look at New England, if you look at…upstate, New York; if you look at Pennsylvania…? You look at Maryland, and Connecticut…? It's destroyed these places! And you've had your problems! I mean, you've had your problems!
The number of people on food stamps…I mean, think of it. Manufacturing has also seen a steep decline, manufacturing employment in Eugene, Oregon has declined nearly 40 percent since 2001. That happened to be the year that China…our friends from China…! …–THE CROWD BOOS. And by the way, I don't just like China! I'd make a lot of money with China. I’ve the largest bank in the world as a tenant or one of my buildings in Manhattan. I have…I sell condos like crazy. I won it [in] a big battle with China. Uh…you know, I own the Bank of America building with a group. And I own a pink building in Manhattan, one of the biggest buildings in Manhattan. [I] got [it] from China. In a war! In a war with China! I don't mean it was friendly! “Oh, let's go buy…!”. I mean, this was a war.
We can do great against China! I don't hold anything against China! I don't hold it against Japan, for ripping us off. They're ripping us like you wouldn't believe. I don't hold it against Mexico! They're killing us at the border…we will build a wall, by the way. We will build the wall…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. We will build the wall…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
We will build the wall…and…who is going to pay for the wall!? …–THE CROWD YELLS ‘MEXICO!’. 100 percent right! I’d never thought you'd guessed that one! …–THE CROWD LAUGHS.
So, let's see: Hillary Clinton…you know, I just left…West Virginia where she said…where she said, “we're gonna put the miners…out of business, and we're gonna put the mindset of business” …–THE CROWD BOOS. No, no, think of it.
So then, she goes to West Virginia and she tried to say, “well, she really didn't mean that”. You know, she said that in a different part…where it was…; these are politicians, all talk, no action! It's like that goofy Elizabeth Warren, all talk, no action! She hasn't done anything of the United States senate! And I’ll tell you what, politicians…we have to get rid of it. These are politicians, all talk no action.
So, it's…ready? Clinton, as Secretary of State, allowed China to come into this thing, and knock the hell out of us, folks! …–THERE IS SOME NOISE COMING FROM THE CROWD. Oh, do we have a protester? Oh, hello! …–THE CROWD BOOS. Hey, get the hell out of here! Get him get him out here! Get him out! Get him out! Get him out of here! Go home to mommy! Go home to mommy! …–THE CROWD CHANTS U.S.A!’ REPEATEDLY. MR. TRUMP CHANTS ALONG.
Listen to this, our trade deficit with china increased nearly 40 percent…during the Clinton tenure as Secretary of State! She gave away our country. Now she wants to run for president. She will be a total disaster, believe me! …–THE CROWD BOOS. All right, get them out! Get out of here! Get him out!
But look at the cameras, they're all showing how many people are here! Look at those people! Look at those people! Look at those dishonest camera people! I love it, thank you very much for doing that, sir! Sir, thank you very much!
You know, I'll tell you, it took a while to figure this out though, but…I've had…all kinds of hecklers. We had one that had a voice…!? I'm telling you, he sounded like Luciano Pavarotti, his voice…; I could take the guy…other than he was a bum, I could take this guy and make him an opera star. He was screaming so loud, it was my first night, and I said, “get their hell out of here!”. And we were rough! And I got criticized the next day. The press said, “it was horrible!”.
First of all, the guy was a bad guy! He was swinging at people! And by the way, when my people swung back, all of a sudden, “oh, they were the bad people”. Give me a break! But he was a bad guy!
So, they took him out. But I got killed the next day in the press. They said, “the way Donald”…right?  You remember! …–MR. TRUMP POINTS AT SOMEBODY IN THE CROWD SPECIFICALLY. They said, “the way Donald Trump talked was horrible. It was horrible”. This guy was a bad guy! He was a real bad guy! Okay.
The next day I had a heckler. And I said, “I gotta do this differently”. So I said, just nice and easy, “don't hurt him, please!”. Could you remove him, please? Quietly, but don't hurt him…–THE CROWD LAUGHS TIMIDLY. And then the next day in the press they said, “Donald Trump isn't strong like he used to be. He used to be strong, and he's become a weak person”…–THE CROWD LAUGHS. These people are the worst! They are the most dishonest…! Let…let me just tell you…–THE CROWD BOOS–…let me just tell you, folks.
And you look at this room…? We have a movement going on…like has never…been seen…in this country! Never! And I will tell you, I am nothing more than the messenger. I'm a good messenger! Am I doing a good job as your messenger!? I am nothing more than a messenger. We have people…that are great people…–A MEMBER IN THE CROWD YELLS SOMETHING INAUDIBLE–…I love you too, darling. We have people…that haven't had…a wage increase in 18 years! They're making effectively less money today than they made 18, and 20 years ago. And then people say, “are they angry?”.
And we're not angry people! I'm not an angry person! I'm not angry! You're not angry! But we're angry about the way…our government…has taken advantage of us, and we're angry at the…we're angry at the stupidity, and the in competence of our leaders in this country, because other countries are running away with our country, with our jobs, with our money…; and it's like taking candy from a baby, and that's the way we are, and we're going to change, and we’re gonna change rapidly, believe me. Believe me…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. We're gonna change.
So, I just wanted to tell you that…I had one of the great weeks, because I didn't know…you know…okay, I have to tell you this story. So, as you know, in one week, by the way, from Tuesday. Tuesday comes, then the next Tuesday, you've gotta go out and vote, okay!? …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. The more people the better, because it is a movement!
You know, Bill O'Reilly said…something that I was…cause he's a tough guy. He's a very smart guy. He said, in his lifetime, this is the single…biggest…most incredible…political event…that he has ever witnessed, what's happened with Trump! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. [That’s] Pretty good! And others have said it too! He said [that] it's the greatest phenomena that he's seen in his lifetime. That’s [a] pretty good statement! You know, and when he tells me that I said, “all right, thanks!”.
Actually, I thought it might happen, so I'm not as impressed as other people, but many people have said it! But you go look at Time magazine…I'm  on the cover so much…! And it's…it's not me, it's what's happening! Because, we go to other states…; in Indiana you had to see the crowds.
You know, I was winning all these states. I was winning them one after another, after another…; I was killing everybody; I was winning by massive amounts. I was getting 62, and 65…! And don't forget, there's three people! You know, we were down to three people! I'm telling you, this bad guy…this bad…I won't even tell his name, because nobody knows who he is, but he just said…that Donald Trump, you know, for the past races, had…for…a long time ago, when we had 12 people, 14 people, 16 people…and he was saying I had 40 percent. And I said, “but there were 16 people! How do you get more!?”.
I think, actually, that 40 percent, with 16 people, is better than 60 seven percent, which I had at a couple of…with three people, okay? I really believe that! But they don't mention that. And my surrogates don't mention it! They sit there, and they'll do anything!
But here's what happens folks, we're gonna do things…because of this movement, we're gonna do things like has never been done. We're gonna make…America…great again…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
We are going to bring back our jobs. And I have to tell you, in Indiana, when I went there…so, I had all these victories. New York, and all these other…places, over a period of weeks. And just…really big victories! I mean, these were serious guys, winning everything. But I heard the firewall…! The wall…the one I couldn't win, which by the way, I won with evangelicals, which are great! That's great! You know, I won with evangelicals…I won with everything.
But I went to Indiana…and that was gonna be the firewall for one of the candidates, I won't mention [who], because…you know what? He's out. Do you notice…? No, no, that's not nice! …–MR. TRUMP POINTS AT SOMEBODY IN THE CROWD WHO’S YELLING SOMETHING INAUDIBLE. No, no. Do you notice when they're out, how nice I am to people? Unless I see them bashing me on television after they’re out. Then we go after them, right? But that particular person is not…; no, Jeb Bush…bashed me! I mean, he’s a low-energy guy that bashed me! And he signed the pledge! He signed the pledge that he endorses Trump! Everybody signed the pledge! And I'm the one that they wanted to sign it! So I said, “look, it's good for the Republican party, I’ll sign the pledge”. I'm the one that's honoring the pledge! I'm the one! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
But I have to tell you. I have to tell you, Rick Perry of Texas, he left a while ago. He said horrible things about me, right? And yesterday he came out and endorsed me. And he said the nicest things…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. He said horrible, horrible things. But he...endorsed me yesterday, and he said the nicest things. He said, effectively, “he's one of the most talented people…ever to run for the office of presidency!”. I mean, that's a big difference! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Something like that! Actually I think even said better than that, but you know, I wanna keep it down to a minimum, right? But he was good, and he's a good guy.
And some of the guys have come through, and then others sit home like spoiled people, and they just…don't do it! You know, they don't do it! But, they all signed the pledge! I mean, this…lightweight, you know, he's a total lightweight, Lindsey Graham, he signed the pledge! And they signed it because they all wanted me to sign it! So, I signed the pledge, and they're the ones that are violating the pledge! Okay? Think of it. This is called politicians!
And, I think in my next meeting I had a copy of the pledge…? I'm gonna bring the pledge to the next meeting, [so] you can watch that out what I’m talking…; it's not that exciting! It's just that…they signed a document, and it doesn't mean anything, because they're politicians.
I have had…more people…calling me…who have said the worst things about me over the last six months on television. And two days ago, I get a call from this person…[a] guy! And he said, “Mr. Trump, I'd love to…join the train!”. He said ‘join the train’. I wouldn't use that expression, although it’s a pretty cool expression. He said, “I'd love to join the train”.
I said, “how do you do that”? Right? The Trump Train! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. I…I said...I said, “let me ask you a question. How do you do that? How do you join the train? You said such bad stuff! I  mean, how do you pivot out of that?”.
He said…he's a politician, he said, “Mr. Trump, they'll be absolutely no problem. I wanna just join, I think it's great”.
I said, “only politicians can do this, you know!? Only politicians could do this”.
But we have so many people…that have joined up. Did you see yesterday…? A congressmen, senators…uh…big people! Dick Cheney joined today! I mean, that was…impressive! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Dick Cheney…uh…I told you, Perry joint, which is an honor, cause I've always thought he was a really good guy, a really nice guy. [He] Did a good job in Texas, by the way. [He] Really did. But so many people are joining, and I'm not like…you know, seeing it!
I just see all these…uh…Darrell Issa just joined…Congress, [a] great guy, uh…highly respected. Uh…we have…so…many people now they're joining. But I…I then…get Paul Ryan. I don't know what happened! I don’t know…–THE CROWD BOOS–…I don't know what happened.
And, you know, he called me three weeks ago. We couldn't have had a nicer conversation: “thank you very much, uh…Donald, it's great, and…we'll…you know, will work together, we’ll…”…everything's fine! And then all of a sudden he wants to be cute. But, you know…we'll see. We'll see.
Because, you know what's really important? What really is important are the people. That's really important. And I did a couple of shows today, and I was asked that question! “How important is it…?”. And we’re gonna be a unified party, but the real unification is not some guy that doesn't wanna…endorse, or he doesn't have his heart on an endorsement. And my attitude is…and I won't…and, you know, I mean, the pledge is signed by the people that ran for president, every single one of them signed it. I don't…even want to…if somebody doesn't wanna…endorse…I don't want their endorsement! It's okay! I'm gonna release them. I'll release them from their…they…they are not in default. I will not have them in default, I'll release them.
But if you think about it, I don't want it that way. But the most important, and they said to me! “Well, how important is it for unification?”.
I said, “the only important thing…is the unification of the people”, because the other people don't mean anything! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. I mean, we have had…more people…voting…in the primaries…this year…than ever before in the history…of the Republican Party! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Right!? And you do know the story.
When you look at FOX…they had the first debate: 24 million people, the largest audience in the history of cable television. And that's because of me, folks, I hate to say it! I don't want it be bragging! They're gonna kill me, they gonna say, “oh, he brags!” …–MR. TRUMP POINTS TO THE CAMERAS. THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS TIMIDLY. What would they have had, like two million people!? They had 24 million people.
Then, you know, they wanted to me…to renew me on The Apprentice. And I said, “no, I'm running for president”.
They were…they came up to my office, “renew”.
I said, “we're running…for president. We're gonna do something”; and I said to the top, top people at Comcast, Steve Burke, one of the greatest guys, [a] great executive, and the heads of NBC. I said, “no, you don't understand. I'm totally serious. I wanna do something. I wanna do it great”. You can't do that, you know, because of what's called ‘equal time laws’, so you can't do it.
But here's the story, CNN, the next…couple of weeks. CNN then got 23…million…people! The largest audience in the history of CNN, over a debate! They used to be…like…fodder, where nobody wanted it. The FCC used to make the network's take it, cause nobody wanted to watch a debate. Now it's like watching a Super Bowl! Now it's like watching big stuff, okay? And it's fun! And I love debating! I didn't know if I could debate, I never did it professionally! That's all these politicians do, [it] is debate, but they can't do anything else!
And every single poll…every…which is great, it makes me feel good, because I'm representing you! Every…single...online…poll…that measured the performance of people in the debate…I won every…single…poll…of every…single…debate! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. And a lot of that…a lot of that…is because our message is better!
So, what we're going to do is, on Tuesday, you've gotta go out there…in a week, not this Tuesday, the following Tuesday, you've gotta go out there and vote. Because the biggest mandate, the best mandate we can have is lots of people.
Now, with that being said…so, in the history of the Republican Party, I've gotten…you've gotten…more votes than anybody. And we haven't even come close to the end! We have California, we’ve New Jersey…! We have all these places…! We have yourselves…!
But we have…we will have…by millions of votes when it's all over, the largest…number…of votes! Bigger than Ronald Reagan, bigger than Dwight Eisenhower, bigger than Richard Nixon…by millions! By millions! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
And the so-called leaders of the Republican Party don't get it! They don't know what's happening. Because…they don't…understand…what's happening!
Now, I'm a conservative person. Remember this, it is named the Republican Party, right? But I'm a conservative person, but some people would say I'm not that conservative on trade. And I believe in free trade, which everybody likes! But we've been taken advantage of…by globalization, because we have leaders that are incompetent. They don't know how to do deals, or…they're controlled by the people that give them the money, that's probably more likely, all right? …–THE CROWD CHEERS TIMIDLY. And I self-funded my entire deal here!
And I’ll tell you what…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS–…I’ll tell you what, you look at Hilary Clinton, you look at the people that are putting up the money, folks? Nothing's gonna happen with our country except we’re going down, believe me! She will be a tool! She is going to be a tool, for Wall Street and everybody else. And you watch, a 100 percent!
Now, I'm no fan of Bernie…Sanders, but he's a 100 percent right on that. He is a 100 percent right.
Hillary Clinton is totally controlled by the people that put up her money. She's totally controlled by Wall Street, and her system is rigged.
[Did] You ever see? “Sanders wins! Sanders wins! Sanders wins! Sanders wins!”. Then they sit down and they say, “oh well, he can't win!”.
And I say, “wait a minute, he's winning all the time!”. They have super-delegates, right? Super-delegates, given by the bosses. And they gave her so many more super-delegates that I guess she can’t lose! And in a certain way I don't want her to lose, because I really wanna run against her. I have to tell you, I really wanna run against her…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
And the last person she wants to run against is Donald Trump, believe me, believe me! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Believe me. Because my attitude is I don't care! I don't care! If we're not gonna do it right, I don't care. I'll go and I'll…you know, live it out, and I'll…build buildings, and I'll have some fun, and…I'll kick the bucket, that'll be the end. I'll be just fine! You understand…–THE CROWD LAUGHS TIMIDLY. I don't care! We're gonna do it right, folks. We're gonna do it right.
Just like we've done here! They said, one of these pundits said the other day, “well, I don't know how Donald Trump will do about Hillary…Hillary”. And then they said, “oh, wait a minute. He win 17 people…senators, all top people; senators, governors…[he] knocked him off, like on a weekly basis”, right? Boom! And I knocked them off, they didn't fall off! I knocked them off! And that's why, you know, there's some bad feelings, but I understand that. It'll take him a couple of days to recover. But, look, [I] knocked them off.
So they said, “if he knocked off 17 people, highly distinguished, big senators, big governor's…why isn't he gonna beat Hillary?”. And I asked that same question also. I asked that same question also.
So, we're gonna have great success. The polls are already showing it. They hate to say that , but the polls are already showing it. We're gonna have fantastic success, and here's what we're gonna do: when these companies wanna leave our country, and they wanna move to Mexico, they’re going to be consequences, okay? …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. We're gonna be consequent.
Ford, Nabisco…recently Carrier…; and one of the reasons I won Indiana…first of all, Bobby Knight was so great. Boy, did he help! …–THE CROWD CHEERS. He was so great! Tough, smart, sharp, streetwise…! And he knows how to win! And he wanted…you know, he called me a year ago! He said…this was before I decided to run! And I never met him, I never spoke to him. But he liked me. He said, “Mr. Trump…? Bobby Knight!”. And I had to check out. I said, “Bobby Knight?”. I said, “check it out!”. And it was!
He said, “Mr. Trump, you gotta run for president”.
I said, “why are you saying that?”.
He said, “because you're the only one that's gonna straighten out this mess, and I'm really good at talent”. And he was great a talent, and still is…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. So, that's a year ago!
So, I said, “well, Bobby…”, and I hadn't decided. This was before…June 16th, when I came down the escalator, right? So I hadn't decided! So I said, “Bobby, I have not decided yet. It's a big commitment, it's really a big commitment, but let me think about it”.
And then all of a sudden, lo and behold, Indiana turned out to be such a big state! A great state, by the way, great people! And, I said, “let me ask you…”; I'm getting ready to go to Indiana. I'm like 14, or 15 points down, can you believe it? I'm down! And they were gonna say, “that's my firewall!”. You know, they were all saying, “that's the firewall…; they're gonna win…bop, bop, bop…”.
So, I went two weeks early, made a couple of speeches, had massive crowds, and I said to my people, “this doesn’t look like a guy who's in second place!”. We had at one crowd 17,000 people. I said, “the guy in second place doesn't have 17,000 people!”. But I gave two speeches, and I left. Two weeks left. But it was good. You know, you go there…you don't go cold, you go! So, I went, gave two speeches left, and now my poll was like even. And then I went four days before, and I worked hard, and Bobby Knight was with me. And Bobby Knight was so unbelievable! And I got also endorsed by Lou Holtz…; I got a great bass…uh…the basketball coach, who's a friend of Bobby, from…Purdue, who was a great guy, [Gene] Keady; [a] great guy. Uh…I mean I got…uh…Digger Phelps…I had so many endorsements! A lot of politicians were endorsing…; but Bobby Knight was unbelievable!
And we won so big! And I won with everything, but we won so big that everybody said, “okay, that's enough. We’re getting out of the race”. And now I can focus on Hillary, that crook! I can focus on Hillary! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Crooked Hillary! We can focus on Hillary!
But during this time I…I…studied, and I looked, and I…they were always following me, the guys from Carrier that were…let go, 1,400 people. So many of them would go to my rallies, and there were great people. They've been there for 25 years, for 30 years…one was there 14 years…all nice guys. And…people! Some women…unbelievable!
One woman she's there for 22 years, like this incredible woman, and she was fired! You remembered, you've all seen it on television! Somebody was holding up their camera, right? And they were fired! And…here's what happens: uh…for five years, our country, these stiffs in Washington, these people that don't have it…all talk, no action politicians, they've been talking about policy, how to keep countries…; they wanna give low-income loans, and low interest loans. It's not gonna work!
They actually gave a couple of loans, low interest, and companies left! So, they took the money with them! So, this is the…we don't need that. All you have to do is…very simple. “Folks, if you wanna leave to Mexico, enjoy the warm weather. But [if] you wanna leave to Mexico, here's what's gonna happen: every single time…you build…an air-…” …–A MEMBER IN THE CROWD YELLS ‘BUILD THE WALL!’–…we are gonna build that wall, don't worry…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. MR. TRUMP GIGGLES. “…every…single…thing…we got…we got…we got a couple of guys they're wall-crazy! Don't worry, we're gonna get it built;
“…every single time you sell a unit across the…the border, which now is a strong border, every…single…time, you’re gonna have a tax of 35 percent…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. [Do] You know what's gonna happen!? Folks, [do] you know what's gonna happen!? They're not leaving! Now, they may go to another state and on that I say, “you gotta go, and compete”. But we're not letting these countries take our business anymore. We're not letting these countries take our jobs anymore, and take our money anymore…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
We have China…we have a trade deficit, with China, 505 billion dollars! One year! …–THE CROWD BOOS. [It’s] Not gonna happen, folks! We're gonna balance it off! [It’s] Not gonna happen.
Japan, what they do…! I just left a…a…really…great place, Nebraska. And they sell beef, and it goes to Japan! And I would say, “so what's the problem?”.
They’d say, “well, they put a tariff”, meaning tax. You know, they like to use the word ‘tariff’, it sounds softer. So they put a tariff on the beef going into Japan of 38 percent. 38 percent! Nobody knows that! You know, we're supposed to have free trade.
Well, if we have free trade, how come their cars come in by the millions, much bigger…by the way, you talk about balance? They're up here…–MR. TRUMP SHOWS WITH HIS HANDS–­…we’re down on the floor in terms of balance! But they sell the cars by the millions, they pour in Los Angeles. You see those docks…the biggest ships I've ever seen. They're pouring off. [It] Looks like NASCAR, coming off the track. They're pouring…and we're selling beef, and then charging us a tariff of 38 percent, and we charge them practically nothing for the cars, okay!? …–THE CROWD BOOS. Because our leaders are stupid, folks! And because our leaders are totally controlled…and, we're gonna change it all around. And it's gonna change fast. It's gonna change fast…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
So, here's the story. Here's the story…we don't win…thank you…–THE CROWD CHANTS ‘WE NEED TRUMP’ REPEATEDLY–…thank you. [There are] So many young people, so many young incredible people! Really, incredible! Beautiful! Beautiful looking, young people.
So, and we want them when they get out of high school and when they get out of college, we want them to have jobs, folks! We don't have any jobs! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. We're gonna have jobs!
So, what's going to happen is…very simple, it's what I said was gonna happen. When I came down that escalator…and I really covered two subjects: trade, where we're being ripped off by everybody, that's gonna be easy; and I talked about illegal immigration. It's taken over the country! People are pouring in here. We just got…and I just got, the endorsement…of 16,500 a Border Patrol people, okay? …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS–…the agents. They've never done that in a presidential race before.
Sheriff Joe Arpaio, the toughest guy…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS–…from Arizona, he endorsed me. [There’s] Nobody tougher at the border, because they know! I'm gonna have a real border. I don't mean…dirty stuff, I mean we're just gonna have a border! [If] You don't have a border, you don't have a country! And I want people to come in, but they've gotta come in legally! They have to come into our country legally! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
So, all of those things are gonna happen. The wall’s gonna be built, and Mexico's gonna be paying for the wall. And…and let me tell you, when I was debating these various people on the stage, they'd come over to me, and early on they came up, “Donald, you know you can't build a wall”. ‘Can’t build a wall?’. China, 13,000 miles! We need 1,000, okay? 13,000 miles, [and] we need a thousand! Okay.
So, I say, very easy, believe me, they don't know anything about building. They'll never build it because they wouldn't know where to start. Number one. Then they came up at the end, [and] they said, “Donald, I mean, you'll never get Mexico to pay”. They’re politicians, they can't do it…it’s all talk, folks! Look, they say, “you can't get Mexico to pay!”. Of course I can, a 100 percent! Listen, think of this, the wall’s gonna cost ten billion dollars, and we lose, in terms of trade, 58 billion dollars a year! Now, you don't have to go to Wharton, you don't have to go to Harvard, you don't have to go to any place…you don't have to go to high school to know [that] that's an easy one, okay? They'll pay the wall.
Now, anyway of five or six different ways, I'm not gonna tell you, which way, whichever one's easy is one, but that's one of the easy deals I will ever make, believe me. So, we're gonna have that.
But here's the story folks. We…don't…win anymore. You've gotta go and vote in a week from now, a week from Tuesday, you've gotta go and vote. And most importantly…and that's important, but most importantly in November, we are gonna carry your state! And some people say…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS–…some people say it's inclined toward the Democrats; and then I walk in, [and] they said, “Mr. Trump…”, and I talk to…people, you know, like consultants. They said, “Mr. Trump, I have to be honest. You've got something going on that we've never seen before. You will win this state. You're gonna win this state”. But you gotta go and vote…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. “You're gonna win”.
Now, you know, I wasn't supposed to be here! And the same thing with…the same thing happened in West Virginia, because after I won, I didn't have to come anymore, because it's obvius…you know, I got…no…no competition! And here's what happened. I said it the other day, I said, “wow, does that mean I don't have to go to all the different places?”.
And they said, “you don't have to go anymore, so we'll cancel all the trips”.
I said, “well, let me ask you. Did we make any specific deals? Like you know, for the arenas, and people are thinking about coming…?”.
“Well yes, we did it Oregon. And we did in…certain other places”.
I said, “so, let me ask you. Like…do you think I could stay home from Oregon, or has it been made?”.
They said, “it's been made, but we can cancel it, Mr. Trump”.
I said, “there's no way we're canceling it. Those people wanna come. There's no way! There's no way we’re canceling”. Right! And here we are! And here we are! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
So, do me a favor, on Tuesday let's build up the numbers! On Tuesday…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS–…get out and vote, a week from Tuesday get out and vote! Because I wanna set, all of us, we wanna set the all-time record by millions, and millions of votes, because believe me, that's saying something. Everybody's talking about it, the all-time record.
So, here's the store just to finish off. We don't win as a country. We don't win it with our military. We don't win on education. We don't win for our great veterans. We don't win for education, Common Core by the way, we're gonna end it, it's gonna be local…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
We don't win with health care! We've got this ridiculous Obamacare, which is gonna put the country out of business, and it's the worst! You see your premiums are going up 25, 35, 45 percent…! And it…it…collapses in 17. Isn't it…my luck? You’d become president and Obamacare, then they'll say it's Trump's fault, right? …–THE CROWD LAUGHS TIMIDLY. But we're gonna terminate it, it's…it's a horror show. And your deductibles are so high, [that] you can never use it, unless you're close to death, right?
So here's the story, folks. We're going to start winning again. You're gonna cast that vote in a week, and then you're gonna cast that big vote…in November…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. And…you're gonna look back, and you're gonna say they are the greatest votes you've ever casted, [in] your entire life, in five years, in 20 years…hopefully in 50 years for all these young people! You're gonna remember this vote! And you're gonna say, it's the greatest single vote…you've ever cast;  because when I took over as president, we started using this! …–MR. TRUMP POINTS AT HIS BRAIN. We started using our brain! We started winning again! We started winning again! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
We started winning with our military, which we have to rebuild. We have to. It’s weak! It's really, really be decimated, it's in horrible shape. General Odierno left, and I watched him on television, when he was leaving. And he said, “it's perhaps the weakest in terms of readiness that he's ever seen it in his career, and maybe ever”.
I said, “ever!? Ever!?”. For a man to say that…! It…I must be honest, I don't want my generals going on television, okay? I don't want them going on television and explaining these things to the enemy, okay? I don't need to have the enemy hear those statements, all right? We wanna be unpredictable. Folks. We wanna be unpredictable. We don't need to have our generals on television, talking about how weak our military is! We don't need that! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. But we're gonna build it up. It's the single cheapest thing that we can do.
But you're gonna see things happen! And we're gonna start winning again. And we're gonna win, win, win! And you're gonna call me, and you're gonna beg me, “Mr. President, we're winning too much, we can't stand it here in Eugene, Oregon! We can't stand it!” …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
And I'm gonna say, “I don't care! We're gonna keep winning! We're gonna make our country great again! We're gonna make America great again! America first!”.
I love you! Go out and vote! We’ll be back soon! Thank you!
