[0:44] of a building is this this is what is this it's beautiful a little bit on a little bit on the cold
[0:52] side i don't usually do this but i figure we might as well well it's great to be with you and you know
[0:57] we've had an exciting time we did a good thing new hampshire what a great place what a great place
[1:07] and we want it big we want it big you know the networks they called they said we're going to
[1:12] be announcing at eight o'clock eight o'clock is when the final vote is cast and i said i think
[1:18] that's a good thing i hope that's like for us and we won by a lot a really lot and and the reason is
[1:28] that people are tired of losing in this country we're losing all the time people are tired of
[1:35] stupidity incompetence we're not going to have it anymore we're not going to have it
[1:40] and you know we had a case where somebody was talking about the anger that they think i have
[1:47] i'm not an angry person you're not angry but we're angry about the way our country is run and we're
[1:54] not going to let it happen anymore we're not going to let it happen so so this has been going on and
[2:01] we went up to new hampshire and it was an amazing experience actually because i've known it long and
[2:07] for a long time many friends live in new hampshire many friends live here by the way i have to tell you
[2:12] but many friends up in new hampshire and it came out and the original polls came out and they were
[2:17] so high by the way the original polls which just came out here we're through the roof we are high
[2:23] we are high i mean the problem you have and i saw it up there and yet people are smart these
[2:33] politicians they say anything they say like i'm very very big on the second amendment i think most
[2:40] people know that you hear very very big and they'll say donald trump does not respect the
[2:48] second amendment i'll say what the hell is this guy talking about the lying is unbelievable and i
[2:55] guess it's part of a process but the good thing we have a big beautiful microphone yeah sit down relax
[3:02] sit down we'll be here as long as you want and we may take some questions should we take some questions
[3:09] i think so no i think so let's just have a good time you know i got so far in the last like couple of
[3:20] days one hour sleep because you know when you have victory you don't need sleep right you're going on
[3:27] adrenaline and then what happens is the following day you say maybe i do need sleep after all so
[3:33] somebody said oh that's not a problem mr trump we could cancel this or postpone it i said are you crazy
[3:40] i would never this is my look this is our group we have something so special going on
[3:46] we have something so special going on the cover of time magazine last week they're talking about
[3:54] it's a movement it's a movement to take our country back and it is it's a movement to take our country
[4:00] back and and that's what we're doing and it's going to be so beautiful and it started it actually started
[4:09] with iowa we did great in iowa we did great in iowa had dr carson been allowed to keep his votes
[4:17] we would have done even better but we did great you started off with 17 people on the republican
[4:22] side you know a couple just dropped out today do you know that do you know who carly and christy
[4:32] and so we're down to you know we're getting down to pretty good numbers here we're getting down to
[4:36] low numbers when i did it and i said it was june 16th and it takes guts i always said everybody it
[4:43] takes guts to run for president not easy not easy and especially you know when you're a successful
[4:52] person i've always heard it if you're a very successful person the last thing you do is run
[4:57] for office and i never really sort of understood that there's a certain legitimacy to what you do
[5:02] and then you get into politics it's a whole other world i've been in politics all my life but i've been on
[5:08] the other you know i've been a supporter but i think nobody knows it better than me and one of
[5:13] the things we're doing and one of the things i'm doing is i'm self-funding my campaign so i can't be
[5:18] bought i can't be bought by all these people and and i think it's appreciated but you know i turned down
[5:28] i will i'll tell you you have a guy like bush who has this big fund it's terrible i'll be honest the last
[5:39] thing we need is another bush that i can tell you that i can tell you this guy he says anything
[5:45] that's on his mind but you know he's gotten so much money here's a statistic just came out in new
[5:54] hampshire he spent 39 million dollars and what is he fourth or fifth right think of it 39 million
[6:06] dollars look at all these people standing this place is unbelievable the place is massive look at
[6:12] all these people he spent i love you too look at this i love these people this country is so great
[6:38] the people in this country are so amazing and you know all the time no matter where i go
[6:45] it's the same i go to mobile alabama 35 000 people we go to dallas 20 21 000 people we go to oklahoma
[6:54] 20 000 people in new hampshire i'll tell you what new hampshire we were packed all the time we had
[7:01] in a blizzard a blizzard 5 000 people in an arena the verizon arena so beautiful it was incredible
[7:10] three of my people were in car accidents coming over one of them walked over about a mile through a
[7:17] blizzard to be there and it turned out he had close to a broken leg and then i said you're fired for
[7:23] ruining my car now i'm all okay why not but the people like they have such spirits such beautiful
[7:33] spirits so anyway so i felt it was very important to self-fund because i think nobody knows the system
[7:40] better than me and guys are getting all of this money and i would have had more than anybody i mean i
[7:47] i was turning down friends people that i know five million ten million people would give me anything
[7:53] and they put them in these packs which are crooked as hell they're horrible they're horrible no they're
[7:58] horrible and the packs aren't supposed to be running the campaigns but they're running the campaigns
[8:03] they're running the campaigns you know they're totally it's it's out of control i'll be honest
[8:07] it's out of control but it's hard for me you know because my whole life i take money right i make money
[8:12] like some of us were in business we make money we grab money money money money i love money right no it's
[8:18] natural and we get greedy and more and more and then all of a sudden it's like i say no i don't want
[8:25] it i want to do something else i want to be greedy but i want to be greedy for the united states we want
[8:31] to bring money into the united states i really do i really do the hell with the business stuff my kids
[8:38] will take the business my executives they'll run it we built a great business i built an incredible
[8:42] business some of the greatest assets in the world very little debt tremendous cash flow just a great
[8:48] business and frankly you know dorall in miami and turnberry in scotland and so many different
[8:56] things buildings in manhattan the bank of america building in san francisco 1290 avenue there were so
[9:02] many great things and nobody knew that you know when i thought because i'm a private person so the
[9:08] pundits the geniuses they'd go and they'd say well i don't think he's going to run and i ran they said
[9:15] they don't believe it then they said he'll never file form a form a is a single piece of paper you
[9:21] sign it you're signing your life away boy there's so many beautiful people in this audience i'm looking
[9:25] at this this is a good this is a good such a great looking group of people but i say for
[9:31] for may they say he'll never sign it i sign it then they say well you know he'll never put in his
[9:37] financials because he's probably not as successful as people think so all of the politicians they'll
[9:45] they'll do financials on one page my financials were almost a hundred pages long done by the
[9:51] biggest accounting firms and lawyers in washington and i put them in they said well he'll ask for
[9:56] extensions because you can have an extension forever and i said i don't want any extensions 30
[10:02] days boom certified done put in and they went and these characters look at all those cameras look at
[10:07] that look at it now take a look take a look back there is that incredible wow wow wow do we have
[10:18] any protesters because if we had some protesters they'll turn the cameras to the protesters we may
[10:24] have to stage a phony protest that's the only way they show the size of these crowds this crowd is
[10:32] amazing i didn't know what the hell i was doing it i came here i said how many people they said i don't
[10:37] know maybe about 10 000 this is an incredible thing so we go out and file the papers and the company is
[10:45] incredible and they can you know the frankly the press reports were great but they were looking for
[10:52] something else the only reason i say that is that's the kind of thinking we need in the country we have
[10:58] 19 trillion dollars it's a mess we have china japan mexico new one vietnam we have these countries
[11:07] absolutely killing us on trade with china we have a trade deficit of 500 billion dollars a year think
[11:16] of that how the hell can you have 500 billion dollars a year you can't have it whoever heard of it 500
[11:23] billion dollars a year and it's been like that for a long time they have been draining us i have the
[11:30] greatest business people in the world they're dying to get involved they don't want money they don't want
[11:35] it they want to do it their ego it's like chess players they want to do it because the game is
[11:41] not fair and we can't continue to go on like this you see the bubble is ready to pop i don't know if
[11:46] you know we're sitting on a very dangerous bubble folks just so you understand we are sitting and i've
[11:50] been very good at predicting markets as you probably have heard we are sitting on a very dangerous bubble
[11:58] we're so tied into china we're so tied into asia when they go bad we go bad and the whole thing is
[12:05] ridiculous and what we have is we have a deficit with as an example mexico and by the way while
[12:12] we're talking about mexico mexico is killing us killing us on trade but they're killing us at the
[12:17] border and guess what we will build the wall you know that we will build the wall we're going to build
[12:25] the wall and yesterday the top person president of mexico said we will never ever pay for that wall
[12:35] and the press called me up and they said calderon the head man top person he said he won't pay he
[12:42] won't pay for it and you know what i said i said the wall just got 10 feet higher that's right
[13:03] oh they've been ripping us they've been ripping us and you know i have many mexicans work for me i have
[13:09] many many hispanics they're incredible people they're great people and mexico is wonderful but their
[13:15] leaders are too smart for our leaders when i announced that i was running i started talking
[13:21] about illegal immigration nobody else brought it up nobody else talked about it nobody talked about
[13:26] walls nobody talked about borders i talked about it boy was i being killed by the press how dare you
[13:33] talk about illegal immigration it's so terrible you shouldn't first of all it knocks the hell out of
[13:39] our economy in a sense but also the danger and the people that are coming in and when i say mexico is
[13:46] forcing many of these people that are coming in believe me we don't want to hear we have 179
[13:53] 000 criminal illegal aliens think of it a hundred and seven as of last week they just announced it
[14:02] 179 000 that's filling up yankee stadium four times we have 179 000 criminal illegal immigrants can't
[14:16] have it folks they're going back they're all going back can't have it can't have it now we have this
[14:24] president and we all have heart everybody in this room has heart we want to take care of people but
[14:29] we got to take care of our own people first we got to rebuild our country we got to rebuild our country
[14:35] our infrastructure is falling apart our roads are a disaster our airports are like from third
[14:41] world countries i go all over the world i see airports i never saw anything like it and i'm a
[14:46] builder i'm a really good builder i see airports in different places of the world you go to some of
[14:53] these asian countries you go to some of the mid-eastern i tell you what you go to saudi arabia you go to
[15:00] qatar you go to different places in china you see airports and infrastructure the likes of which
[15:07] you've never seen they have in china trains that are so modern so fast so incredible you never see
[15:15] anything we don't have anything we got trains that go blah blah you know they're like from 150 years ago
[15:23] we're becoming a third world country in the middle east we've spent if you add it all up two trillion
[15:31] in iraq we have nothing by the way in iraq what do we have nothing we should have never been there
[15:36] i said and i should get points for vision but we should have never ever in a million years been there
[15:44] all we did is knock out and then you're going to see bush come up and give his brother an ad oh great
[15:50] job brother great job great job two trillion dollars two trillion dollars we lost thousands of lives
[15:59] we have wounded warriors who i love all over the place we have nothing iran is going to take over
[16:06] iraq they're doing it now as we're here you're sitting you're standing iran is taking over iraq that's
[16:12] all the second largest oil reserves in the world now you had these two forces they were equal militarily
[16:19] and they were going all the time that's all they do fight they fight they fight they quit they fight
[16:25] it never moved what was the same saddam hussein would hit him with gas they'd hit him with gas
[16:31] they'd negotiate they'd rest for two years and then suffer this is what happened we knocked out and this
[16:37] is what i said 2003 2004 take a look reuters trump says don't go into iraq you're going to destabilize
[16:46] the middle east that's exactly what happened that's exactly what happened and by the way i'm more
[16:52] militaristic than anybody in this room i'm a big big big fan of the military believe me and
[17:04] and by the way we're going to take care of our vets our vets are not being treated properly
[17:09] our vets are not they're not being treated our vets are not being treated properly we're going to take
[17:16] care of our vets all right believe me and it's going to happen and it's going to happen fast they're
[17:22] being treated we have illegal immigrants being treated better than our vets not going to happen
[17:26] our vets are going to be treated good but we're going to rebuild our military bigger better
[17:32] stronger than ever before cheapest thing we can do by the way cheapest thing we can do and hopefully
[17:37] we never have to use it but nobody nobody's going to mess around with us anymore nobody nobody you
[17:45] know you look we can't beat isis we can't beat anything and that's what it is we don't win with
[17:50] the military we don't win in trade we don't win at anything we don't win on anything i'll tell
[17:55] you on trade many many companies are moving out of the united states called corporate inversion
[18:02] many many companies you just saw pfizer you know how great a company pfizer is they're leaving the
[18:07] united states they're moving to ireland you have other companies they're leaving the united states
[18:12] it used to be they'd leave new york they'd move to south carolina that was okay right right brad that
[18:18] was good right i know some of these guys they're very successful i have friends of mine big brad
[18:23] stand up brad say hello i'm going to give him his big shot in love great people very successful
[18:30] people but we have corporate inversion taking place it's a disaster our companies are leaving the united
[18:35] states now they're not moving to south carolina they're not moving to florida they're moving to
[18:40] asia they're moving to europe because the taxes are too high here we have the highest taxes in the world
[18:47] the highest and companies are moving out companies have actually in my opinion the government says two and
[18:53] a half trillion i say it's closer to five trillion dollars outside of this country the companies
[19:00] can't get their money back in no matter what they do they've been working on it the democrats listen
[19:05] to this one the democrats agree and the republicans agree we're going to bring the money back they
[19:10] can't get a deal done you know why because we don't have a leader as a president that's all it is
[19:18] we could bring three four five trillion dollars back here if we had somebody that could get people
[19:27] into a room sit down for two hours and knock heads together and get a good deal done and we can't so
[19:33] companies are leaving the united states for taxes and also to get the money that's already theirs they
[19:40] can't get it back in so here's the story we're going to do things that are going to be so amazing you are
[19:47] going to be so happy we're going to bring the trade and we're going to get that trade so incredible in
[19:52] mexico we have so many companies moving to mexico ford is building a two and a half billion dollar
[20:01] plant and i just read today in the wall street journal that now they're increasing it they're going
[20:06] to do even more investment in mexico how the hell does that help us how does it help us it doesn't help us
[20:13] even a little bit so they're going to make cars trucks and and parts and they're going to bring
[20:19] them into the united states no tax no nothing we close up factories they open up factories what the
[20:24] hell are we doing it's not going to happen folks it's not going to happen anymore we're going to be
[20:30] smart and and here's what i say and i tell this all the time nabisco is moving their big plant from
[20:36] chicago into mexico right and you know the story we're not eating oreos anymore by the way but you know the
[20:42] story they're moving a big massive plant into mexico with ford if you get a schleber like bush he's a
[20:50] schleber you get a guy like bush okay no really this guy i mean i watch him i watch him think of it
[20:59] i watch him remember spent 38 to 39 million in new hampshire i spent three and a half i'm number one
[21:06] he's at the bottom think of it and you know think of this for a second think of this
[21:12] in the united states education we spend more money per pupil than any other country in the
[21:18] world by far and we're number 30 in the world we have third world countries that are ahead of us
[21:25] you have the early countries sweden norway denmark china they're the best and you have the united
[21:33] states at the back of the pack we spend much more money wouldn't it be nice if we could do it the other
[21:39] way so on the campaign i mean i shouldn't say this i feel a little guilty saying it but in one way it's
[21:45] smart i've spent less money than anybody else and i'm number one right right nice so i've spent less
[21:57] money and then you have other people like jeb who spent more money than anybody else and he's down
[22:01] toward the bottom of the pack is that what you want as a president no seriously do you want to have
[22:08] a guy who spent more money and the only reason i do this is i don't want to waste money on ads for
[22:13] the guy because he spent 20 million dollars on negative advertising against donald trump i don't
[22:18] even know this guy 20 million dollars remember i called him a low energy person he's a low energy
[22:24] person i said no i said he's a stiff and i said that if he was in the private sector he wouldn't
[22:30] be able to get a job other than that i think he's excellent this is going to be our president the only
[22:36] reason i mention it is that he spent 20 million dollars in fact i told him i said if they ever stop
[22:41] spending money on negative ads i'll stop talking about the guy because i hate to waste time on this
[22:45] guy because he's not going to win but i don't like it when you know we have to fight back as a country
[22:52] we have to fight back you have to fight for your rights i don't like it i don't like it when people
[23:00] do that and and you know we have others they say things that are so wrong they say they lie they lie
[23:08] i really am truthful i like to be a truthful person overall overall that's a good thing we had
[23:15] a thing recently you saw where putin said these great things about donald trump did you see that
[23:20] he said trump is a genius trump is the best leader trump is amazing okay he said nice things
[23:26] my people up in the stand they said we want you to repudiate that statement i said are you crazy why
[23:32] would i repudiate this actually i said why wouldn't we want and wouldn't it be nice if we could get
[23:40] along with russia and get along with something what are we crazy isn't it wouldn't it be nice and wouldn't
[23:48] it be nice really really nice you know i'm seeing the other day the cost of munitions the cost of buying
[23:54] missiles it's tremendous wouldn't it be nice if russia could use some of its missiles on isis
[24:02] we gotta knock isis we gotta knock the hell out of them wouldn't that be nice so i see what's
[24:11] happening it's going to be such an unbelievable week and a half i'm gonna be with you almost all
[24:20] the time i have my choice of being at mar-a-lago in palm beach florida or being in south carolina with
[24:27] my friends i'm here i'm here now i may sneak over there every once in a while it's not too far
[24:37] now we're going to have a lot of time together we have about nine days actually until the big event
[24:42] and this is going to be a very important event because we were really taken care of by the people
[24:48] of new hampshire we really were we were taken care of with great respect we had even more than the
[24:54] polls the polls were suggested 27 28 which would have been a nice victory good victory because other
[24:59] people were down at four eight nine so 24 25 if they would have said 25 you can have it right now i
[25:07] probably would have said yes and we ended up with 35 36 percent that's amazing it's amazing because
[25:16] there's something happening i mean i'm telling you there's something happening you're next it's going
[25:21] to be so important because if we can win south carolina which is an amazing incredible place incredible
[25:28] people if we can win and i don't want your money i want your vote to be honest i don't want your money
[25:33] i don't want your money you know uh and and one little story so little things we have a lot of business
[25:40] people i recognize some of them some of them are friends of mine i know i have some people like
[25:44] brad but others and if we can do little things for instance in the united states we don't negotiate
[25:52] the price of drugs with the largest drug meaning to make people better drugs to make people better
[25:57] not the drugs that flow over the border from from where mexico and other places by the way those drugs
[26:06] are pouring you know new hampshire they have a tremendous heroin problem tremendous they come over
[26:11] the border i told them we're going to stop that problem we're going to stop it the wall is going
[26:14] to stop it by the way walls work when they're big beautiful walls see that ceiling anybody gets up
[26:22] there they're not coming down too easy let me tell you but but we have a tremendous problem with that
[26:29] i mean you know you have something that's really messed up in this country and we're going to solve it
[26:36] and we're going to fix it and we're going to have to be less politically correct is that right less
[26:42] politically correct everything you say today everything you know i went to great schools i
[26:50] was a good student all that stuff everything you said today it's like you don't know are you offending
[26:55] someone the country's really screwed up we have to get back to work we have to get back to work
[27:01] we have to build it back up again and i'll tell you something a lot of people in the audience will
[27:05] like this i think but you know you go to a department store today what don't you see christmas time
[27:11] you don't see merry christmas anymore we're going to be saying merry christmas at christmas believe
[27:16] me and we're going to see signs come on it's true so now we are you ever see you go to a department
[27:41] store now everyone's afraid i mean they're nice people they own the store but the big stores and
[27:45] you don't see merry christmas anymore why why why don't you see it why don't you see it i'll tell you
[27:52] what it's something it's going to change it's all going to change i say so many things are under
[27:58] siege right now the second amendment is under siege you see what obama is trying to do hillary
[28:03] is going to do a big number on it assuming she doesn't end up in the uh so who thinks that hillary
[28:14] is going to make it who thinks she's going to be able to run because the democrats are protecting her
[28:23] and maybe first of all she's got to get through this wacky socialist guy bernie i i listen no no last
[28:31] night last night last night before i made my speech i said i don't want to make it while he's
[28:35] making i was trying to beat him out there i said i let him go he went on forever he wants to give
[28:40] the country away your taxes are going to be like 95 folks so here's what happens the drug companies
[28:49] you can't bid on drugs it's like the united states the largest purchaser of drugs in the world
[28:55] and yet it's like going into a drug store and buying something right off the shelf you don't have
[29:00] the power the country doesn't have the power to negotiate you know why because the guys that are
[29:06] running with the exception of me the guys that are running are supported by the drug companies and the
[29:11] oil companies and the timber companies and everybody else right so you never make good deals for the
[29:17] country so think of this we don't have the right to negotiate with drug companies and i have a friend
[29:23] who's a doctor who's a very successful guy and he keeps telling me i don't understand it why can't we
[29:27] negotiate and then i said i tell you why because the senators and the congressmen that are all taken
[29:33] care of by the drug companies can't allow that because the drug companies make a fortune so if we
[29:40] negotiated you know what we'd save almost 300 billion dollars a year can you believe that can you believe
[29:47] it now now that's just for doing what you would normally do now negotiating is complicated when you
[29:53] have that but what you do is very simple you do a favored nations clause whoever buys the drugs in
[29:59] the whole world for the lowest price we get that price and i would add on something i would say less
[30:07] 10 percent okay i would say less 10 percent now in the military so think of that 300 billion dollars
[30:14] so maybe it's 200 billion maybe it's 350 but nobody knows they talk about the other day one of the
[30:23] politicians came up to me that i'm running with and they were talking about balancing the budget
[30:28] within the next 25 years i said 25 years what the hell are you talking about 25 years you're going to
[30:34] balance the budget we have so many things that we can do so let's just go real quick and then i'm
[30:41] going to take some questions you ready common core a total disaster a disaster we're going to educate
[30:51] our kids by the way jeb bush loves common core he wants people educated from washington right there
[30:58] he loses jeb bush loves common core and he loves weak borders remember the statement they come as an act
[31:05] of love give me a break and when i was right you know it was interesting because i told you before
[31:13] i took a lot of heat when i came out and i announced that we have to do something about illegal immigration a
[31:19] lot of heat and then later beautiful kate was killed in san francisco jameel was killed in los
[31:26] angeles the incredible that we have a woman who is supposed to be an incredible person a veteran 65
[31:33] years old raped sodomized and killed by an illegal immigrant in los angeles recently and so many more
[31:42] and so all of a sudden they start like coming to me these politicians all talk no action believe me
[31:48] the politicians will never get you to the promised land any of them i know them all some of them i
[31:54] like they're never going to get you there the reason is they're all taken care of one way or the other
[31:59] they can't you know a lot of people say how could a deal be so bad these people are stupid i say they're
[32:07] not stupid they're preservationists they preserve their job that's what they do they preserve their job
[32:14] they're good at getting re-elected they're great at getting money they're great at getting all of
[32:19] this stuff and they'll never help you so when somebody that as an example he's a friend of
[32:27] my good guy woody johnson of johnson and johnson he's the head of jeb's campaign for raising money
[32:33] do you think that jeb is going to say if he if he ever got in which is an impossibility do you think
[32:38] jeb is going to say we're going to now renegotiate with drug companies so we have to put you people out
[32:44] to bid as an example do you think hillary clinton who's terrible do you think hillary look at look
[32:50] at what she did look at the damage she did as secretary of state now do you think that hillary
[32:56] clinton who's getting all of this money from wall street although she claims she's not but it turned
[33:00] out she did you know six hundred thousand dollars for a speech actually i've been paid much more than
[33:05] that but i'm not like representing the government okay you know i've actually gotten much much more than
[33:11] that but honestly when you're representing the government and you're involved you know it's a
[33:15] very tough thing there's a very fine line and i'm not even saying maybe i am saying when you get that
[33:21] kind of money there's a tremendous scrutiny there there's a tremendous problem there but you look at
[33:28] what she did as secretary of state and do you remember the ad that she had when you get a phone call
[33:34] at three o'clock in the morning well she wasn't there to receive the call when it came to benghazi let me
[33:39] tell you she wasn't there she was not there so so i don't know that we're going to be fighting
[33:49] hillary because i find it hard to believe i look at what she's doing i looked i was there i mean i was
[33:53] there last night where this guy sanders is up ranting and raving like a lunatic that you know he won
[34:00] but but i was there i saw it and i'm shocked you know because he's so non-traditional and i just don't
[34:06] see a socialist as the head of this country i mean where are we going to but but we are going to do
[34:13] something special okay so you're ready common core we're going to we're going to keep trade we're going
[34:18] to make great military we're going to go through the we are going to make it so great all of the
[34:22] things that i said obamacare we repeal we replace it's a disaster it's a disaster we can't have it
[34:29] anymore your premiums are going up 25 35 45 percent people are telling me it's a disaster i know it's a
[34:39] disaster people in washington don't have to use it our representatives don't have to go that way they
[34:45] can go the way they used to be the whole thing we're going to repeal it we're going to replace it
[34:50] we're going to have unbelievable health care and it's going to be less expensive for the people and
[34:55] you're going to be proud of it and you're going to love it because people are absolutely dying
[34:59] with obamacare obamacare is going to fail in 2017 of its own weight but it's got to go and we've got
[35:07] to get much less expensive and much better coverage and much better health care so we're going to do
[35:14] it we're going to do it so we're going to make america great again our theme is make america great
[35:24] again all those red hats all the white hats look at all those hats but we're going to make america great
[35:29] again i think it says it all somebody said to me why do you want to be president i said i want to
[35:34] make america great again it's so much easier what do i have to go through the whole thing i want to
[35:38] make america great again and we're going to make it great we're going to make it rich
[35:42] but poor we're a debtor nation we just hit today 19 trillion just came over 19 trillion i've been
[35:50] saying 18 trillion for the last year now it's 19. very soon with that horrible budget that was just
[35:55] the omnibus they caught the omnibus with the last budget that's another two trillion dollars that's
[36:01] going to be added so we're going to be at 21 trillion dollars so we're really a debtor nation
[36:06] we are going to make our nation rich again a woman came up a great woman she said mr trump i don't like
[36:12] the sound of it you're going to make the nation rich i said we have to make the nation rich
[36:16] in order to make it great we have to make the nation rich and bring up our jobs back from china and
[36:22] mexico and all of these people we're bringing our jobs back we're not only doing the border we're not
[36:30] only doing the border we're bringing our jobs back and when a ford wants to move to mexico if i'm
[36:36] president i'd love to do it myself i guess that's not the exact perfect chain of command but i'd love
[36:41] to do it myself but i'm going to tell ford no good no good you're not going there with a two and a half
[36:46] billion dollar plan and if you do we're going to charge you 35 percent tax every time you sell a car
[36:53] in the united states every single time and i tell the story if they called up hillary or ted ted
[37:02] cruz or any of these people who has no business experience okay no business experience they'll
[37:09] call ted or hillary and they'll call from one of the lobbyists one of the lobbyists that supported
[37:13] these guys and these people so one of them called they'll say listen you have to do this you have to
[37:19] do it they gave you millions of dollars you have to approve this plant they're going to approve it
[37:23] believe me they're going to approve it i've hired many lobbyists they're extremely talented okay
[37:28] they're going to do it if they call me i'm going to say but it's no good but nobody gave me any
[37:32] money so that they don't own me they don't they don't have anything to do with me they don't have
[37:38] anything and i'll tell and i don't need you know carl icon endorsed me many of the great business
[37:44] leaders endorsed me and they're going to be great we get the big we got the greatest business people
[37:50] in the world in the world we don't use them we use political hacks to negotiate with china and china
[37:58] they get trained from the time they're three years old to be great great business people they get
[38:04] trained in negotiation they have like the triangle they take the best the best the best all the way
[38:10] up and that's who is negotiating with our political hacks and then you wonder why we're losing 500
[38:17] billion dollars a year and a hundred billion dollars plus with japan the cars roll in the largest ships
[38:25] i've ever seen in los angeles recently and the cars are pouring in from japan we sell them practically
[38:32] nothing we sell them nothing it's all going to change we're going to make our country so wonderful
[38:39] again and you people are going to be so proud of our country again because we're being led by people
[38:44] that don't know what they're doing they're grossly incompetent in some cases they're just stupid people
[38:51] they're just stupid people i mean you take a look at that iran deal we pay 150 billion dollars and we get
[39:00] absolutely nothing nothing and then they take our sailors you saw that on television today
[39:07] where they have the guns pointed at the head they have a rough guy talking this is not a baby
[39:12] and they have our 10 sailors dropping to their knees with their hands up and this is supposed to be
[39:18] somebody we're making deals with and the only reason we got the sailors back is because the 150
[39:24] billion dollars was due in two days or those sailors would still be there who makes deals like this
[39:31] who makes a sergeant burgdoll deal we get burgdoll a dirty rotten trader right we get burgdoll and they
[39:40] knew he was a trader because you had a colonel and a general interviewing all of the people involved
[39:47] right on the site we lost five or six people they don't know but we lost five or six people killed
[39:55] young beautiful military people killed looking for sergeant burgdoll who left so we get burgdoll we
[40:05] know he's a spy and they get five of the best killers that they have that they've been coveting
[40:13] for years for years for nine years they've wanted them and we let them go and now they'll be back very
[40:20] soon on the battlefield knocking the hell out of everyone what the hell are we thinking what the
[40:27] hell are we thinking so i just want to tell you people of south carolina we're going to change it
[40:35] we're going to change it we're going to change it around can't go on like this when i said to my
[40:40] wife melania i said i've got to do it and i'm telling you i stood at the top of that stairway
[40:45] and i looked the escalator the famous now it's a famous it was famous before but then it really became
[40:49] famous but you had to see the press you had to see the cameras it looked like the academy awards
[40:57] and i took a deep breath i said we have no choice i took a deep breath i said let's go and we're going
[41:02] to straighten it out and it's been all from the day i announced practically we've been number one in the
[41:09] polls and we're going to do it we're going to do it because the people of our country love the country
[41:17] and all of that but you know what they're really smart they really get it they know we're going down
[41:23] the tubes we're going down the tubes and we're going to stop it and you're going to be so proud
[41:29] of it and you're going to be proud that you were here and you're going to be proud of your president
[41:33] and you're going to be so proud of your country again we're not going to have deals where our
[41:38] sailors are put on their knees with their hands up we're not going to have that anymore it's not going
[41:42] to happen that way anymore it's not going to happen that way anymore so i was going to take some
[41:52] questions but you know it's sort of like it's such a high you know elton john once told me he's a great guy
[41:56] When you finish with a great song, don't go back for the encores, right?
[42:00] Right?
[42:01] So should I do it?
[42:03] I mean, this is such...
[42:04] Should I take a couple of questions?
[42:06] All right.
[42:06] I hate doing it because we finished at such a high, beautiful point.
[42:11] Now I'll take some really crummy questions, and you'll leave.
[42:14] You'll say, that was a lousy evening, right?
[42:17] All right.
[42:17] Come on.
[42:18] Encore.
[42:18] Encore.
[42:19] Let's give some questions.
[42:20] Go ahead.
[42:21] That gentleman holding a very good book called The Art of the Deal.
[42:24] Go ahead.
[42:24] Anybody holding The Art of the Deal and wearing my cap, the question can't be so bad.
[42:31] Do we agree?
[42:33] Okay.
[42:33] Go ahead.
[42:34] Your second favorite book.
[42:35] Good.
[42:36] Thank you.
[42:36] I'm a schoolteacher, Tom Ritchie, and I've got some students back there.
[42:39] Oh, good.
[42:40] Could you sign my copy of The Art of the Deal?
[42:44] Get it over here.
[42:45] Come on.
[42:46] See, he's an aggressive...
[42:47] He's an aggressive...
[42:50] Give me a pen, Kevin.
[42:52] He's an aggressive schoolteacher.
[42:55] Oh, what a book.
[42:57] He's got the cheap version, see?
[42:59] I'll take that.
[43:04] Okay, man.
[43:08] Here you go.
[43:08] Ready?
[43:13] Okay.
[43:14] Here you go, Kev.
[43:16] Okay, question.
[43:17] Yes, go ahead.
[43:17] Clemson.
[43:18] Clemson guy.
[43:19] Good, strong-looking guy.
[43:22] Do you go to school here?
[43:23] I'm still in high school.
[43:25] You're a little young, right?
[43:27] Okay, let's go.
[43:29] Come on.
[43:29] Make it good.
[43:30] Well, when it's all said and done, how are you going to beat Hillary?
[43:35] Well, you know, the polls are showing that we beat Hillary.
[43:38] We're going to beat her.
[43:39] And honestly, women don't like her.
[43:43] Men don't like her.
[43:44] Take a look at what's happening to her.
[43:47] A guy that nobody ever heard of, literally, is beating her so badly.
[43:52] I don't know.
[43:52] I honestly...
[43:53] I talk about Hillary.
[43:55] I honestly don't know if Hillary's going to be running.
[43:57] Do you like Hillary?
[43:59] No, absolutely not.
[44:00] But we're going to beat her.
[44:01] Can I say something real quick?
[44:02] We're going to beat her.
[44:03] Go ahead.
[44:04] Well, you have to earn your votes.
[44:07] But, you know, Hillary and Bernie, they're going to get all those votes for free.
[44:12] Yeah, he knows what he's talking about.
[44:14] How are you going to combat that?
[44:15] Let me tell you.
[44:16] It's a good point.
[44:17] The Republicans are at a structural disadvantage.
[44:20] You understand that.
[44:21] And what he's saying is right.
[44:23] They've given away so much stuff that we have to be really good.
[44:26] We really have to get somebody good because an average person is not going to win.
[44:31] And I mean that.
[44:32] These people, they're not going to win.
[44:34] One of the things I'm going to do, I have a chance of winning New York.
[44:37] I'm going to win Michigan.
[44:38] I'm talking about cars all the time.
[44:40] They just did a poll in Michigan.
[44:42] I'm going to win Michigan.
[44:44] Michigan is not in play for a Republican except for me.
[44:48] I'll win certain states, and I think we'll win a lot of states,
[44:51] that nobody, as a regular Republican,
[44:54] and these guys are just regular Republicans.
[44:57] Ay-yi-yi.
[44:58] You know, did you ever hear the six states,
[45:01] you have to win, you have to win Ohio, you have to win Florida, you have to win...
[45:04] We're going to win states outside of them.
[45:07] For instance, if I won New York, where I have a possibility,
[45:10] remember I defended the honor of New York a few weeks ago at the debate.
[45:16] If I win New York, that's got so many delegates,
[45:19] it's so big that the election's over, essentially.
[45:22] It's over.
[45:22] So we're going to win things that nobody else is going to win.
[45:25] Okay, question.
[45:27] Go ahead.
[45:27] You look like a vet.
[45:28] Are you a vet?
[45:29] I love this guy.
[45:30] He's a vet.
[45:30] I love my vets.
[45:32] I love my vets.
[45:33] Who is that young guy next...
[45:35] Who is that guy?
[45:36] He's my buddy from Greenville.
[45:38] That's good.
[45:39] Good.
[45:40] If you look around, you'll see a lot of gray hair.
[45:43] Green hair?
[45:44] Gray.
[45:44] Oh, gray.
[45:45] What about Medicare?
[45:48] Okay.
[45:49] Well, Medicare is...
[45:51] Everything's under siege now, folks, just so you understand it.
[45:54] Medicare is something that actually works, right?
[45:58] You know that.
[45:59] It works.
[46:00] Now, there's tremendous fraud, waste, and abuse, but Medicare works, and some of these people
[46:08] want to get rid of it.
[46:09] It's not going to happen.
[46:11] We're going to bring back our money.
[46:13] We're going to bring back our jobs.
[46:14] We're going to save our Medicare.
[46:15] We're going to save our Social Security.
[46:17] We're going to keep it going.
[46:18] You know, you've been paying into Social Security.
[46:21] You've been paying into this stuff all your life, practically, right?
[46:25] And now they want to take it away.
[46:27] They want to raise the age.
[46:28] They want to do all sorts of things.
[46:29] They want to give you a lot less.
[46:31] They want to take it away from a lot of people.
[46:33] Not going to happen.
[46:35] Not going to happen, okay?
[46:36] And Medicare, we have to be very careful.
[46:38] We have to protect it.
[46:40] Okay, that guy right over there with the red jacket.
[46:43] Look around you.
[46:44] There is a natural board leader on the stage right there.
[46:50] Right there.
[46:51] Thank you.
[46:52] Natural board leader.
[46:54] Thank you, man.
[46:56] Trump!
[46:57] Trump!
[46:57] Trump!
[46:58] Trump!
[46:58] Trump!
[46:59] Trump!
[46:59] Yeah.
[47:06] Donald Trump, answer me this one question.
[47:10] Go ahead.
[47:10] How soon will you take the trade deficit and balance the budget of our nation?
[47:16] I think we can do it very quickly.
[47:18] You know, just what I told you.
[47:19] Drugs, right?
[47:20] You know, you have that with the military.
[47:22] The military is forced to order weapons that they don't want because of political people
[47:28] that want to sell those weapons because they have political power.
[47:32] And they're not getting weapons that they do want because that company doesn't have the political juice, right?
[47:38] We're going to get the right weapons.
[47:40] We're going to get them for the right price, but it's a great question, and I appreciate your first statement very much, man.
[47:46] I knew I was doing a good thing when I chose you.
[47:49] I should almost, I think maybe I should end on that statement, not question, right?
[47:55] No.
[47:57] All right.
[47:59] Go ahead.
[47:59] Go ahead.
[48:00] Give it to him.
[48:01] I'll get you.
[48:02] Go ahead.
[48:02] Me and my dad come across the state line to tell you Georgia's with you, too.
[48:06] Oh, Georgia's good.
[48:10] Georgia's good.
[48:12] Georgia's good.
[48:13] Go ahead.
[48:13] Let's go.
[48:14] Go ahead.
[48:15] My man.
[48:15] Hey, did we have a good time tonight?
[48:21] Considering the fact that the subject matter is a little bit depressing.
[48:25] Believe me, if you vote for Trump, and again, I don't want your money.
[48:30] I want your vote.
[48:31] You vote for Trump.
[48:32] We win here.
[48:33] We're going to run the table.
[48:34] If we win here after winning so big in New Hampshire, all of these characters are going
[48:39] to give it up, we're going to run the table, and we will make America great again.
[48:43] That I can tell you, okay?
[48:47] Uh-oh.
[48:47] My questionnaire just got wiped out by the crowd.
[48:50] The hell with it.
[48:51] I'm going to sign over here.
[48:52] I love you people.
[48:54] You're special people.
[48:55] Make sure you get out and vote.
[48:57] Nine days.
[48:58] Get out and vote.
[49:00] We're going to make America great again.
[49:02] Thank you all.
[49:03] I'm going to sign.
[49:04] I love you.
[49:05] I love you.
[49:06] Thank you.
[49:06] All right, everybody, that was the Donald Trump rally coming at you live from Clemson, South
[49:28] Carolina.
[49:29] I know a lot of people came into the stream.
