[0:00] so my first question why are we here in new york why aren't we out on the campaign trail
[0:04] oh i've been to iowa many times i've been to new hampshire many many times uh love the people there
[0:10] and we've had tremendous success we've had tremendous crowds nobody gets as many standing
[0:15] ovations and i spent a lot of time out i was in south carolina recently and we're all over i'm
[0:21] going to this weekend i'll be with clint eastwood in california tremendous group of people i'm going
[0:26] to arizona this weekend i'll be all over the place you were one of the only candidates who didn't
[0:31] campaign during the fourth of july pretty much all of them were up in new hampshire and you were not
[0:34] there you've had no campaign events really this week no campaign events planned uh for next week
[0:40] that we know of so far you're not campaigning that much how can anybody take you seriously if you're
[0:44] not out there showing your face because i'm doing television with you and i am up there actually a
[0:48] lot and i watch them up there walking the streets and it didn't mean anything and i was actually
[0:54] getting more news coverage than anybody else by far because i'm the one that brought up the whole
[0:58] situation and the whole mess with immigration and what the mexican government is doing to us so
[1:04] you know i didn't have to be and i would have been if they wanted me to and i just decided that
[1:08] probably it wasn't necessary i'm going up actually next week and i'll be in iowa many times over the
[1:13] next number of months and new hampshire many many times let's talk immigration since that's the hot
[1:18] topic yesterday there was news coming out from the washington post about your hotel site in dc
[1:24] there were a lot of there are a lot of immigrants working on that including some who say legal
[1:28] immigrants that they are not here they're not legally here they didn't say that no if you read
[1:32] that article it really doesn't say that in fact the writer was very surprised that was they weren't
[1:38] able to find anybody we have a very strong system i have a contractor that's one of the biggest in the
[1:43] nation they're doing it so far they're doing a very good job they have a very strong verification
[1:48] system and the whole story was about you know they thought they were going to find people and they
[1:52] weren't able to find no they did find some people who said that they were undocumented well they
[1:56] certainly didn't write them down and write their names and we're very strong on that and you know
[2:00] with 11 to 31 million illegal immigrants in the country it's pretty hard to be in a position where
[2:06] you actually can't find anybody that's going to be a fantastic job that was sitting there for years
[2:11] like 30 years empty vacant a disastrous situation i took it over we're going to have one of the great
[2:17] hotels of the world we're very proud of it we're also very proud of the building and the building
[2:22] practices are you concerned though for the people that are working for you to put these buildings up
[2:26] one of the workers told the washington post do you think that we're hanging out of the eighth
[2:31] floor when eighth floor window and we're raping or selling drugs we're risking our lives
[2:36] and our health these fumes are toxic do you have a reaction to that when somebody says that about your job
[2:41] because i was just totally misquoted in fact i could read i mean i could give you a copy of the speech
[2:46] i could read this i was so misquoted that it's incredible i'm talking about the mexican
[2:51] government forces many bad people into our country because they're smart they're smarter than our
[2:57] leaders and their negotiators are far better than what we have like to a degree that you wouldn't
[3:03] believe they're forcing people into our country this guy that killed the wonderful young woman from san
[3:08] francisco he went back to mexico they forced him out they forced people into our country and they are drug
[3:15] dealers and they are criminals of all kind we are taking mexico's problems mexico is beating us on
[3:22] trade and they're beating us at the border but mexico doesn't want to take these people so what do they
[3:27] do they send them to our stupid politicians and we have sanctuary cities and we have all of this
[3:32] nonsense i've been saying this for a long time katie and it's a disgrace and frankly if i didn't bring
[3:38] it up you wouldn't even be talking about immigration right now when was the last time you were at the
[3:41] border i've been to the border probably three or four times over the years and i have many people
[3:47] that live around the area i'm going to arizona this weekend where they want to talk to me because
[3:53] arizona is somebody said i'm the most popular person in arizona because of my stance and i'm going to be
[3:59] there this weekend that you were there um probably three years ago so how do you if you haven't been
[4:04] there in three years how do you know that it is such a problem because i knew it was bad then it's worse
[4:08] now it was terrible then and it's worse now it's worse now than it's ever been we don't even have
[4:15] a border people are just flowing through like water there is no border right now the murder rate in
[4:20] in el paso texas which is right on the border is the lowest murder rate for any of the big cities in
[4:27] the country don't try and convince me that there's no crime that it's wonderful the people that are being
[4:33] forced in and these aren't just mexican people the people that are being forced mexico doesn't want
[4:39] people they're forcing them into our country and we're taking them and we're putting in our jails
[4:44] and our hospitals and we're paying them money through different sources it's a disgrace don't
[4:49] tell me about safety are you trying to justify safety on the border i don't think so we have a lower
[4:54] incarceration rate for mexican immigrants and illegal immigrants than we do for any u.s porn
[5:00] citizens it's a wrong statistic go check your numbers it's totally wrong it sounds good it's it
[5:05] sounds good it's a wrong statistic check your numbers so do you think that by the way i'm not
[5:10] not say i have great relationship with the mexican people i have many people working for me you can
[5:16] look at the job in washington i have many legal immigrants working many of them come from mexico
[5:20] they love me i love them and i'll tell you something if i get the nomination i'll win the latino
[5:26] vote i will win it because i'm going to create jobs hillary clinton is not going to be able to create
[5:30] jobs i will tell you right now neither is jeb bush going to be able to create jobs
[5:34] i will create jobs and the latinos will have jobs that they don't have right now
[5:38] and i will win that vote and everyone thinks oh gee trump is going to not do well with that vote
[5:44] i'll do better with that vote than anybody and i have thousands of them working for me at different
[5:48] places that i have all over the country i will win that vote why should people believe your numbers
[5:54] when you come out here and say that they're committing crimes and they're in our jails and they're
[5:57] murdering us and taking our jobs a few years ago you led the birther movement you sent
[6:03] investigators out to hawaii to find out whether or not obama which you said was not born here well
[6:08] and it turned out to not be true well i don't know according to you it's not true i don't know
[6:12] he released his birth certificate you know if you believe that that's fine i don't care it's an old
[6:16] subject i'm about jobs i'm about security i'm about fixing the military i'm about taking care of our vets
[6:23] i'm about things that you don't have to bring up all subjects whether he did or not who knows a lot of
[6:27] people don't agree with you on that by the way but i'm really about economic development and i'm
[6:32] about jobs and that's what we have to start talking about and i'm about beating isis militarily and not
[6:38] acting like a bunch of babies like we're acting right you have a plan for isis i do have a plan
[6:42] actually i would knock the hell out of the oil areas because they're rich as can be they're building
[6:47] a hotel in iraq they took over a hotel they're renovating a hotel in iraq they're renovating another
[6:53] hotel in a different location they have nothing but money it's coming out of their ears and they're
[6:58] getting most of their money from oil and if you remember excuse me katie if you remember number
[7:03] one i said you shouldn't go into iraq anyway because you're going to destabilize the middle east that's
[7:08] exactly what happened then i said when once you're in if you're leaving keep the oil well isis has the
[7:14] oil and iran has the oil if they would have listened to me that way and i was very strong the bush people
[7:19] in 2004 sent people to my office because they didn't want me to say what i was saying and i'm
[7:25] more into the military by the way than anybody but you have to know when and where to use the
[7:29] military we made a tremendous mistake we spent two trillion dollars thousands of lives wounded
[7:36] warriors all over the place who i love by the way all over the place and what do we have we're not even
[7:41] there anymore and iran is taking over iraq in fact they're meeting right now iran is taking over
[7:47] iraq we got nothing for it zero and it's really a sad situation with isis you kill them at the head
[7:54] you take the oil that's where they're getting their money if you bomb the hell out of it you
[7:59] bomb the hell out of it you've got to stop their wealth they have tremendous wealth i'm talking about
[8:04] oil i'm talking about oil areas i'm not talking about civilian areas civilians are near oil areas
[8:10] oh give me a break katie go ahead next question let's say domestically a lot of people are killed
[8:16] by gun violence in this country what would you do about that well you have a lot of people that are
[8:20] killed by gun but i'm a big second amendment person you know when the prisoners escaped up in new york
[8:24] which was a tragedy in itself people that were against guns said thank god we have guns i remember
[8:30] seeing on television a woman saying i was always fighting with with my husband he wanted guns he felt
[8:35] so strongly about guns and i would fight him now we have a gun in every drawer a gun on every table in
[8:41] case these guys broke into the house it's very interesting no i'm a second amendment person what about
[8:45] people that walk into churches and shoot people or walk into schools and shoot people they're sick
[8:49] people these are very very sick people they'll be able to get something somewhere are you not more
[8:54] concerned about them than you're concerned about illegal immigrants coming in here and i'm concerned
[8:58] about everything i'm concerned about the country our country's going to hell i'm concerned about
[9:02] everything okay our country is being beaten in trade deals by china by japan by mexico mexico is the new
[9:09] china mexico is killing us in trade that we're being beaten at every front we're being beaten militarily
[9:15] we have a military that every time we send equipment to our so-called allies one bullet is shot in
[9:21] the air and they we lost two thousand three hundred armor-plated humvees not three or four or seven we lost
[9:30] two thousand in one day two thousand three hundred humvees i say that's impossible how can you lose that
[9:37] many a bullet gets fired into the air and the people that we're giving these humvees to they run like
[9:42] bandits and the enemy takes them over the enemy has better equipment than we have because we're
[9:48] foolish you're for the second amendment do you have a gun i have the a license to have a gun yes i do
[9:54] do you own one yes i do do you use it gun range it's none of your business it's really none of your
[10:01] business i have a license to have a gun gun control what is what are you talking about yes i have a gun
[10:08] gun excuse me yes i have a gun and yes i have a permit to have a gun stronger background checks
[10:14] what about that is there is there any steps that you would take to make it harder to get a gun in
[10:18] this country once you get into that you start getting into a situation the slippery slope where
[10:23] all of a sudden you're going to really violate the second amendment i don't want to do anything to
[10:28] violate the second amendment to me the second amendment is very important i want to talk about
[10:32] some what some of the republicans have been saying about you just this week you've been very
[10:35] divisive for the party of charles krauthammer who's called you a rodeo clown charles krauthammer
[10:40] is a totally overrated person who really dislikes me personally i never met him but i mean he's a
[10:45] totally overrated guy doesn't know what he's doing he was totally in favor of the war in iraq
[10:49] he wanted to go into iraq and he wanted to you know stay there forever so you know these are
[10:54] overrated people i see who it is i mean you can mention name after name by the way you're going to
[10:58] mention the ones that do like trump you don't do that do you goldberg has compared you to a
[11:03] failed man who mistook flattery for insight george will i'm a failed man i'm worth a fortune i built
[11:07] you know what's interesting i went to the best school got the best great marks everything else
[11:12] i went out i made a fortune a big fortune a tremendous fortune i'll be announcing that in
[11:17] about a week because i have to file my papers bigger than people even understand i have a book
[11:22] called the art of the deal i do the apprentice the art of the deal was like the number one business
[11:26] book of all time or just about i think it was and i do the apprentice and mbc's angry at me because
[11:31] they renew the apprentice and i wouldn't do it and that's one of the reasons that mbc's so angry at
[11:35] me and then i get called by a guy that they can't buy a pair of pants i get called names give me a
[11:40] break so you will release your financials on time yeah i'm we're gonna i think we're gonna have it on
[11:45] time that's eight days from now excuse me i'm allowed 45-day extension and another 45-day extension
[11:52] i don't expect to be using any extensions you know on time is really not on time because you're allowed
[11:57] automatically two 45-day extensions i don't think i'm going to be using them i should be filing
[12:02] they're very complicated you know these papers weren't meant for me because of the complexity of
[12:06] and the bigness of what i have but we should be releasing them ahead of schedule where do you get
[12:11] your money from i made it the old-fashioned way in real estate in real estate i made it and i made a
[12:18] lot of money doing everything i did i made a lot of money with the apprentice i made a lot of money in
[12:22] real estate i made a lot of money everything i did i've had great success what about the companies
[12:28] that are backed away from you nine by our count if you want to count the city of new york that's
[12:31] looking at its contracts uh ten are you concerned that you're going to come to a point where you're
[12:37] going to lose so much business that this is just not worth it i'm not concerned let me tell you what's
[12:41] worth it if it weren't for immigration okay you wouldn't even be hearing about the word immigration
[12:47] if it wasn't for donald trump immigration is a word illegal immigration is that i brought the whole
[12:53] subject up in fact your friends at fox gave me great credit for that the other day they said if it
[12:57] wasn't for donald trump we wouldn't even be talking about illegal immigration or even immigration
[13:02] right now and i've been given and then you had the horrible tragedy in san francisco with a young
[13:07] woman who was shot with a person that should have never been here no this is too important yeah i'm
[13:13] losing some contracts who cares people politically they're weak and they're they want to be politically
[13:18] correct some of them have already apologized to me they made a mistake and you know what that's fine
[13:25] because compared to what i have first of all my company is a massive company and it's a very rich
[13:29] company but compared to what i have it doesn't matter most important and even if it was a huge
[13:34] amount of money i would still do this now when people run for when pres as an example when these
[13:40] different people are running for president they don't lose anything a politician doesn't lose anything
[13:46] when he or she runs for president they run they lose they win they don't lose anything
[13:51] when i run as a successful person i lose a tremendous amount i mean the kind of money that
[13:57] i lose on all these deals that you're reading about now a lot of them are blown out of proportion like
[14:03] they had espn oh espn said you know what it was it was a ballroom evening an evening in a ballroom
[14:08] that's already replaced they have nascar left that was another thing i guess espn maybe was a
[14:14] little golf tournament nascar was a ballroom it was a banquet but they make it like it's this tremendous
[14:20] deal if it's hurting you why do it katie let me just say the press is very very dishonest and i
[14:25] think people are wise to the press if it's hurting you why do it because i want to make america great
[14:31] again honestly very simple our country is in trouble we owe 18 trillion dollars going up to 21 trillion
[14:38] very soon once we hit 24 trillion we're greece we are greece on steroids we're a large-scale version
[14:45] i want to make our country great again we have the potential to have that great spirit that we
[14:53] once had we don't have it anymore our country is a mess whether it's illegal immigration whether it's
[14:59] our military whether it's the way we take care of our vets our country is a mess george will said you
[15:05] could be a democratic operative george will is another one he was at mar-a-lago years ago he spoke
[15:12] i didn't want to listen to him speak and he's never forgiven me for the fact that i didn't show up
[15:16] because i find him to be a very boring guy so what do i want to listen to george will for
[15:20] i listen to the people i get the biggest crowds i get the biggest standing ovations and i guess you
[15:26] see it in the poll numbers and i don't even care about it look maybe i'm wasting my time doing this
[15:31] and it costs me some money in terms of some deals the big money is the opportunity because while
[15:35] i'm wasting my time talking to you which is you know essentially one-sided but that's fine
[15:39] but while i'm wasting time talking to you i could be doing deals on other things so i'm losing out
[15:43] on hundreds of millions of dollars nobody else loses when they run for office they don't lose
[15:49] a politician doesn't lose but i do lose but i want to make i mean just to answer the question
[15:55] i'm running because i want to make our country great again republicans say that you're hurting
[16:00] the party do you think you're hurting the party if you divide them so severely will you be able to get
[16:06] the nomination and then become president well on fox they say that i did a great service because i'm
[16:10] the one that brought up the whole discussion on immigration and i think i'm helping the party
[16:15] greatly and i actually think that if you look at mit romney who was a great disappointment because he
[16:20] ran a terrible campaign and especially in the last month he totally collapsed he choked something
[16:24] happened to him but he choked pure and simple if you look at him many of the conservative republicans
[16:30] just stayed home they didn't want to do anything i mean they stayed home they didn't even vote for him
[16:35] if those people got out and voted he would have won but you had a lot of republicans and conservative
[16:40] republicans stay home because they weren't energized the latino vote let me tell you about the latino
[16:45] vote i will win the latino vote because i'm going to put them to work i'm going to be able to get
[16:49] jobs i will take jobs back from china i'll take jobs back from japan where they're making so many
[16:54] cars i mean millions and millions of cars what do we get we send very little to japan by comparison
[17:00] i'll take jobs back from mexico mexico is going to become the car capital of the world the way they're
[17:05] going ford is now building a two and a half billion dollar plant two and a half billion dollars in
[17:12] mexico they're going to sell cars in the united states and parts and trucks in the united states
[17:18] excuse me how does that help us in tennessee they just lost a plant that was going to be built in
[17:24] tennessee it went to mexico so mexico is going to take care of their people because as i said before
[17:31] their leaders are smarter than our leaders and their negotiators are far better and that will never
[17:36] happen if i'm president you have 17 of the population that is latino a lot of them say they're very
[17:42] offended by what you're saying uh was a misquote from yours or a misunderstanding no it was you want to
[17:49] apologize no there's nothing to apologize for there's nothing to apologize for read my statement
[17:55] my statement is referring to mexico and they're pushing a lot of bad people into our country and
[18:00] we're taking care of a lot of criminals that shouldn't be in our country and you saw that the
[18:05] other day in san francisco we're taking care of these people when people read my quote they say oh
[18:11] you know it's sort of interesting i made my presidential announcement right here in this building i made it
[18:17] everybody gave me great reviews some great great reviews some good reviews it wasn't until a week
[18:23] later that people started criticizing that one statement and i'm referring to mexico i have great
[18:31] respect for the country of mexico i love the mexican people in their spirit but the country of mexico is
[18:37] killing us the country of mexico is taking our jobs they're killing us at the border they're taking
[18:44] advantage of the fact that we have stupid negotiators we have very stupid people in our country negotiating
[18:50] for us and we have leaders that don't know what they're doing so i respect that i'm not angry at mexico
[18:55] i'm angry at our leadership for not putting our right people to negotiate why wouldn't you keep
[19:01] your manufacturing here your ties your suits why would you not have them because china so manipulates
[19:07] their currency that it's very hard to find companies that can do business in the united states
[19:12] you're a billionaire though why would you not move it here just for having it in america excuse me
[19:16] because i'm a businessman let me just tell you something and it's very interesting you're not
[19:20] bringing up anything new you know you're acting like you're the great reporter blah blah blah you're
[19:24] not bringing every speech i make i talk about i always hate that i have to have my ties made in china
[19:31] and you know why they're made in china because china manipulates their currency to such a degree they
[19:37] just manipulated it again two weeks ago i never thought i'd see it so fast again and again they're
[19:44] taking our jobs they're taking our manufacturing they're destroying us and by the way we're rebuilding
[19:50] china and then you know what they do they loan us back the money we owe 1.4 trillion dollars to china
[19:57] so they take our jobs they take our manufacturing and then they give us money and we have to pay them
[20:02] interest how do you get that money back how do you recover from from this take the jobs back
[20:07] from china you take the jobs back from japan you charge saudi arabia saudi arabia makes a billion
[20:15] dollars a day every time there's a problem and if you think these people were after yemen they're
[20:21] not after yemen they're after the oil in saudi arabia you take a look at that border this was the
[20:26] the country that barack obama said oh wow we had a great victory in yemen great victory it's all over
[20:32] great victory right a week later it totally blew up in his face that border
[20:37] is a long border right along saudi arabia you look at what happens that just like i predicted
[20:43] what was going to happen in iraq and all these other candidates that i'm running they're scooting
[20:47] you look at somebody like jeb bush it took him five days five days to give a proper answer in iraq he
[20:55] was changing his answer every day how is somebody like that going to negotiate international diplomacy is
[21:00] a delicate thing you have to watch what you say and how can anybody expect that you're going to be able
[21:06] to get into the white house and watch your mouth when you were so widely uh panned for these mexican
[21:12] mexico comments how are you going to be able to hold your tongue and not piss off other countries
[21:19] the do you want to change the word are you allowed to use that word on television and not anger other
[21:24] countries so i will tell you this i've made a lot of money against china i've made a lot of money in all
[21:31] of these countries i have great relationships with these countries if you take a look at what's going
[21:36] on in terms of relationship with the united states everybody hates us hillary clinton was the worst
[21:43] secretary of state in the history of the united states hillary was the worst in the history of the
[21:49] united states there's never been a secretary of state so bad as hillary the world blew up around us
[21:56] we lost everything including all relationships there wasn't one good thing that came out of
[22:02] that administration or her being secretary of state i have great relationships if you look at
[22:07] businessweek magazine they did a story on the 10 things that china most wants one of the 10 things
[22:14] anything trump anything trump and i'm the toughest critic there is on china people have to respect you
[22:21] china mexico we don't have a good relationship with mexico look at sergeant tamarisi
[22:27] he goes over there and they put him in jail we couldn't we we didn't even have people that
[22:32] knew how to talk to him finally he came out long after he should have been out it was a disgrace
[22:38] what what do you think of hillary clinton as a as a president if she wins the nomination i think
[22:42] he'll be a terrible president she was the worst secretary of state in the history of our nation
[22:49] why would she be a good president i think she'd be a terrible president she says you're too divisive on
[22:54] immigration the republican party is too divisive on immigration hillary is weak on immigration
[23:00] i may be divisive on immigration but she's weak on immigration which is far worse hillary would let
[23:07] everybody come in killers criminals drug dealers everybody if you listen to hillary everybody is
[23:13] going to be flowing through the nation they are sort of now anyway but if you listen to hillary
[23:18] she is so weak on immigration we will have a crime wave like you've never seen immigration is down
[23:23] why is this uh such a big topic for you right now immigration is a very big topic take a look at all
[23:28] the crime that's being committed go take a look at the research says the crime is the crime is that
[23:34] does not match what you're saying the research the pew research which is independent says don't be naive
[23:39] you're a very naive person the pure research says that there are for immigrants on the whole create
[23:47] our come on try getting it out try getting it out i'll get it out i mean i don't know if you're going
[23:51] to put this on television but you don't even know what you're talking about try getting it out go ahead
[23:55] immigrants commit less crime than you as born citizens there are less immigrants in our jails
[23:58] that they know what number one i i disagree with it number two whether it's true or not illegal immigrants
[24:04] i'm talking about illegal immigrants i'm not talking about immigrants i'm talking about illegal immigrant
[24:09] i'm an immigrant you're an immigrant we're all immigrants illegal immigrants commit less crime
[24:12] other than coming through illegally i'm talking about illegal immigrants are causing tremendous crime
[24:19] tremendous crime and nobody wants to talk about it and that's why fox at least fox
[24:25] And you won't leave this, perhaps, but at least Fox is being honest because they're now talking about it bigly.
[24:31] And if I didn't bring up the subject a number of weeks ago, we wouldn't even be talking about illegal immigration right now.
[24:38] If you found out that you had an illegal immigrant working for you and they were a hard worker, how would you treat them?
[24:44] I think that I would treat them probably get, I'd have to tell them you have to go back, I think, you know.
[24:51] What if they were supporting their family?
[24:52] I would probably tell them you have to go back.
[24:54] I mean, they're illegal immigrants.
[24:56] I'd probably say you have to go back.
[24:58] Do I like doing that?
[24:59] No, I'm a nice person, believe it or not.
[25:01] I mean, I have a heart.
[25:02] But I would probably tell them you have to go back.
[25:05] Look, we have anywhere from 11 to 31 million.
[25:09] Our country doesn't even know.
[25:10] Can you believe the statistics are from 11 to 31 million illegal immigrants in our country?
[25:16] We don't even know, okay?
[25:18] We don't even know.
[25:19] Nobody's able to tell me the number.
[25:21] It used to be 11.
[25:22] Now they think it's 31 million.
[25:23] Nobody even knows what to do.
[25:25] It's a very sad situation.
[25:27] But you have to create a strong border.
[25:30] And if I didn't bring this up, we wouldn't even be talking.
[25:33] It wouldn't even be a subject.
[25:34] Who pays for that wall?
[25:36] Mexico.
[25:37] How do you get Mexico to pay for that wall?
[25:38] Only if I'm president.
[25:39] How does that happen?
[25:40] Because Mexico is making a fortune off the United States.
[25:43] I would get them to pay for the wall.
[25:44] Believe me, they will pay for the wall.
[25:45] I just don't understand how you would.
[25:46] And I watch all these pundits that don't have brains.
[25:50] I watch all of them say, oh, Trump can't get them.
[25:52] I built a great empire through negotiation.
[25:54] You have to be able to negotiate.
[25:56] Mexico is making a fortune off the United States.
[25:58] A fortune.
[25:59] In addition to sending a lot of people here that forcing, forcing.
[26:03] And I'm talking about their bad people.
[26:06] Again, I love the Mexican people.
[26:07] I love their spirit.
[26:08] Many of them work for me right now.
[26:10] I respect Mexico.
[26:12] But their leaders and their negotiators are too smart for our leaders and our negotiators.
[26:16] How high would the wall be?
[26:19] I will make that wall impenetrable.
[26:22] Okay?
[26:23] Impenetrable.
[26:24] You don't have to worry about how high it'll be.
[26:26] And Mexico will pay for that wall.
[26:30] Thank you very much.
[26:30] I really appreciate it.
[26:31] Thank you.
[26:32] Great honor.
[26:33] Okay.
[26:34] It's fun when you, uh...
[26:36] Wow.
[26:37] It's fun.
[26:38] It's, it's, uh, it's too bad that she mentions only the negatives.
[26:42] You don't want to mention all the positives.
[26:43] You know, I was going to...
[26:44] Let me ask you.
[26:44] Put the mic back on.
[26:45] I'm going to ask you one more.
[26:46] I forgot to ask it.
[26:47] What is it?
[26:47] I want to know why you think voters like you so much and why you're getting such big crowds.
[26:51] But your microphone's not on.
[26:54] That question I can handle.
[26:59] You have two minutes left to tape.
[27:01] Go ahead.
[27:02] So you say you're drawing these big crowds.
[27:05] And I was there.
[27:05] You drew a big crowd in New Hampshire.
[27:06] Excuse me.
[27:06] Don't say...
[27:07] The way you put it, everything's so negative.
[27:09] I'm not saying...
[27:10] It's not negative.
[27:10] I'm not saying I'm drawing...
[27:12] You're saying I'm drawing...
[27:13] You're number two.
[27:13] Why do people respond to you so much?
[27:16] I'm actually number one in Huffington Post and some others.
[27:19] And the new polls haven't even come out yet.
[27:20] Why are they responding to you so much?
[27:22] Because I tell the truth.
[27:24] I say what's happening.
[27:25] I made a tremendous fortune.
[27:27] And that's the kind of mentality we need in this country.
[27:30] Jeb Bush will never take us to the promised land.
[27:33] He doesn't have it.
[27:34] Hillary will never take us to the promised land.
[27:36] Hillary will be a disaster as a president.
[27:38] Jeb will be very poor as a president.
[27:42] No energy.
[27:43] We need somebody that can make great deals with China, with Japan, with Mexico.
[27:49] We need somebody that really understands and cherishes the military.
[27:52] I actually think I'll be the jobs president.
[27:54] But I actually think I'll be actually even better in terms of the military.
[27:59] I will create military where nobody's going to mess around with the United States.
[28:03] Do you think it's just name recognition?
[28:05] No, I think it's the fact that I say things that people agree with.
[28:09] More people than maybe we expect to agree with you?
[28:13] Or the establishment might expect?
[28:15] People like what I say.
[28:18] They agree with what I say.
[28:19] I have had tremendous success.
[28:22] If I didn't have the success, I think it wouldn't be the same thing.
[28:24] I've had tremendous success.
[28:26] They understand I've had tremendous success.
[28:29] And they respect me.
[28:30] And what I'm telling, I don't need this.
[28:33] I don't need this.
[28:34] What I'm doing is for the country.
[28:36] I want to make America great again.
[28:38] We have a last shot.
[28:39] If we keep going the way it's going, America is going to be permanently scarred.
[28:45] Thank you.
[28:47] Thank you.
