[0:54] Michigan bring those cars we're gonna make so many more cars that we're making right now not gonna happen the other way
[1:06] Not gonna happen the other way too many bad things are happening. We're gonna start winning again folks
[1:15] You know and when you think about it the other night in the debate
[1:21] I ended by talking about the fact that we are going to win again. We don't win anymore. We don't win and
[1:31] You know I brought them here so the poll comes along every single poll there are 11 of them right here
[1:39] See the name jump on top. I keep it in small small
[1:42] But every single poll that they took for the debate who won the debate who won and it's sort of interesting
[1:56] Because the Fox poll which came out and it's a big one and a good one
[2:01] Which came out three or four nights after the debate had me up 11 points 11
[2:10] And I was already leading and then I said I guess I won the debate right folks, you know
[2:16] So with they had 11 polls and they had drudge
[2:19] He's a great guy 46% that that's
[2:22] 46% of the vote out of 15 people that's a lot I would honestly take right now
[2:31] 46% of three people, but this is 15 people by the way
[2:36] Sadly, I guess you heard Lindsey Graham left the race today sad
[2:46] Very sad. I'm extremely sad. He was nasty to me. Wasn't it nasty you see how many everybody that goes against me?
[2:57] It's like X X so we started off with 17
[3:02] I won't say how many left but a lot of people are starting to leave they're gonna start to leave but everybody
[3:07] That's going wouldn't it be nice that should happen with our country everybody goes against us down the tubes
[3:13] Sort of interesting, right sort of interesting so I'll go through it fast
[3:20] So this is on the debate that's the night of the debate hundreds and hundreds of thousands of people voted who was number one in the debate?
[3:28] I was I love you too
[3:32] So who was number one Trump drudge?
[3:36] 46% time magazine hey, they didn't even give me the man of the year the person of the year they should have
[3:41] That's why it's heading down the tubes folks here. They gave it to a woman who's not done the right thing in Germany
[3:51] It's not doing too well over there nice woman. I like her. I like her. I better like her
[3:56] I may have to deal with it. Look hey Putin likes me. I want her to like me, too
[4:01] Right, you know, it's sort of funny so put that in nowhere
[4:08] I never met Putin but we were in 60 minutes together not together but together meaning I had a segment he had a segment
[4:14] We got tremendous ratings on that show. I took full credit
[4:17] I said if it wasn't for me, they wouldn't but we didn't meet so but we were stable mates in a sense, right?
[4:24] It was he and I on 60 minutes like five six weeks ago and it was great and he came out of nowhere two days ago and he said
[4:33] Trump is brilliant. He's great. He's the leader
[4:37] He's the leader of the parties and he said nice things. I didn't know I'd never met him
[4:42] So I didn't know and he said nice things all of a sudden. I'm hearing things like oh
[4:46] Isn't it terrible that Putin is saying that that's not terrible. That's good. That's like a good thing. Not a bad thing
[4:52] He can't stand Obama Obama can't stand him. They're always fighting wouldn't it be nice if we could get along like with people you know?
[5:04] Unbelievable. No, no, think of it. You know, it's Russia after all somebody said are you at all offended that? He said nice things about you
[5:12] I said no no and they said all Trump should have been much nastier
[5:17] That's terrible and then they said, you know, he's killed reporters and I don't like that. I'm totally against that
[5:23] I by the way, I hate some of these people, but I'd never kill them. I hate them. No, I think no these people
[5:30] Honestly, I'll be honest. I'll be honest. I would never kill them. I would never do that
[5:38] Ah, let's see. No, I wouldn't I would never kill them, but I do hate them and I some of them are such lying
[5:49] Disgusting people it's true
[5:52] But I would never kill him and anybody that does I think would be despicable
[5:59] But you know nobody said they say he killed reporters. I said really I he says he didn't other people say he didn't who did he kill?
[6:07] Well, we don't know but we hear that I said tell me what did he kill and I go through this whole thing
[6:13] It would be so great if we could get Russia on our side and other
[6:18] countries on our side and knock the hell out of Isis and knock
[6:23] Right so stupid just knock the living hell out of her remember I said
[6:36] Take the oil right for years. I've been saying that for years. I've been and look we have
[6:44] People running this country who are stupid. They're stupid. I went to an Ivy League school
[6:53] I'm very highly educated
[6:54] I went to the best business school in the world the Wharton School of Fine somebody said he's plain spoken
[6:59] I don't have to be plain spoken. I have like this incredible
[7:03] Vocabulary, but honestly, how can I describe our leaders better than the word stupid really, right?
[7:10] There's no word. There's no word. You know I used to say grossly incompetent, but stupid stronger isn't it?
[7:19] I don't know you look. Bye-bye. Bye-bye hard to believe USA USA USA USA USA USA
[8:14] So unbelievable, but I'm really trying to be really neutral to one guy
[8:26] I said get him out of here now
[8:28] And they said the next day it was horrible horrible the way Trump talked about I mean the guy was a bad guy
[8:38] It was terrible what he was doing, but I was very rough. I said get him out of here
[8:44] Okay, so the next day they come out and they say that was horrible the way Trump the next day
[8:49] I had another big one 21,000 people I had one guy one guy was like he went a little crazy and I was very nice
[8:56] I said, please remove him but be very nice and if he wants to come back
[9:00] Let you know they did the next day so the first day he was terrible
[9:04] He was rough the second day. I was gonna tell you the second day
[9:41] But you know do you ever notice how few it is and they will make it tomorrow sound like this was the biggest we got
[9:47] Nine or ten thousand people in here. They'll talk about one guy or two guys headline
[9:52] Trump had pickets. They had like three people. There was nobody outside
[9:56] No, no, they set aside a picket area said nobody showed up
[10:02] They will talk about the guy that just got taken out in about two seconds. So what happened?
[10:06] I was rough with the first guy then the second I was really nice because I got a lot of bad press that I was too rough
[10:11] I wasn't nice so the second guy was you know second event
[10:14] I said be really nice to please don't hurt him please and he was a bad guy
[10:18] He was a rough guy who's swinging at him. He was you know, there were fistfights
[10:21] I mean, I'm telling these guys to be nice in the meantime. I'm standing up here
[10:24] They have to take them on right, but I'm saying please be gentle if you'd like to come back later
[10:29] I was so nice so the next day trip was off his game. He was very very weak
[10:34] I said so you can't win with these people so you're too tough you do this you do that they're bad people
[10:42] I'll tell you the only thing I love in fact sometimes. I'm gonna do it myself. They never turn the camera, right?
[10:48] I've told you've heard this they never turn the camera around the thing I like about a guy like that or a guy like wherever the hell
[10:55] The cameras move they won't turn the cameras. So when I go home
[10:59] I'm proud of nobody gets audiences like I get boat number one with the heart, right?
[11:06] Nobody nobody gets audience we go I get 35,000 in Mobile, Alabama. I get 20,000
[11:15] I mean we get tremendous audiences and and Dallas was incredible 21,000 people every place we go
[11:22] It's packed it's sold out. It's all guided by the size of the venue look at this venue the biggest
[11:28] I don't know when it was built. What was this venue built? Where's the owner? He was very nice
[11:31] We gave he gave me a nice discount. Where's the owner? Where's the owner? We beat the hell out of him
[11:38] But he's a good guy. He gave us a pretty cheap price. I must tell you where is he anyway?
[11:43] Well, however old it is. I mean we broke the record and I don't have a guitar no guitar
[11:49] You know Elton John said you get the biggest crowds in the world for a guy without a guitar meaning, you know without music
[11:57] Which is pretty good so we're having an amazing time
[12:01] The subject is a tough subject because our country is doing poorly. We don't win
[12:07] We're being laughed at all over the world. We're soft. We're weak. We have guys like Bergdahl who get caught
[12:13] I mean he left he was a deserter. He was a deserter. He was a dirty rotten deserter and
[12:21] We lost five and maybe six young
[12:26] Great brilliant wonderful people trying to bring them back. They were killed right?
[12:32] So he deserts now
[12:35] 60 years ago. They would have been shot within a very short period of time, right? 25 years ago
[12:40] Probably shot 10 years ago long term in prison now
[12:44] I hear he's gonna get off scot-free why don't know think of it and then we traded
[12:52] This guy who as far as I'm concerned we could take him drop him right back in the middle. We traded
[12:59] Hello. Hey cameras turn around. There's another guy up there
[13:03] The only time the camera will move is to see somebody like bye-bye
[13:09] That was the same guy fellas. He came back in for seconds
[13:15] What no, but it's sort of amazing. I have to finish it though. So they never show the crowds
[13:24] They always show my face and I have a big ego
[13:26] I like I like when there's you but my wife said how many people were at the event? Oh, it was packed
[13:31] Oh, I said, what do you think? Well, I heard big noise, but they only showed your face. They never move the camera

[16:23] Donald Trump is on video and Isis is using him on the video to recruit and it turned out to be a lie
[16:33] She's a liar. No, it turned out to be a lie
[16:37] Turned out to be a lie and the last person that she wants to run against is me believe me
[16:47] You know, I was just with somebody from ABC
[16:50] I won't mention and he said oh the Hillary camp said they'd love to run against trump
[16:56] Of course they're gonna. That's what they want to say
[16:58] I mean, it's gonna be very ask jeb bush if he enjoys running against them
[17:02] Seriously, ask him in all fairness ask
[17:06] Lindsey graham did he enjoy running against trump ask
[17:10] Perry governor perry nice guys all nice guys
[17:14] Ask bobby jindel. He's back in louisiana, which is a great state by the way
[17:19] And they don't like him very much anymore over there ask all of these guys that have gone out
[17:23] Do they enjoy running against trump? They don't enjoy it. They don't enjoy it. I enjoy it. They don't enjoy it
[17:29] I mean people have said that jeb bush, you know, he's low energy people have said that if I if I didn't
[17:38] Run the thing would have been over already. He would have had it. Why for what reason?
[17:43] I mean, I don't know why but they say he would have had it. He's gonzo
[17:46] He's down to two percent and you saw they gave him during the debates a couple of sound bites
[17:51] He goes like this. You could see it right here. He memorized. Uh, mr. Trump. Uh, I mean donald
[17:57] Uh, and I said jeb i've got 42 you've got two we started off you were here
[18:06] I was here always in the center now you're way down there and the next time you won't even be on the stage look
[18:15] I I love running against hillary. I love running against hill
[18:21] You're are you are you with me or against me? Oh, he's with me. Oh, oh, oh
[18:28] You know i'm looking at this guy and he's going crazy, and I thought he was a protester
[18:36] They'll say he was a protester, but he's got
[18:39] He's got a beautiful red make america great hat on make america great make america great again
[18:48] Okay, we like you. We're not going to throw you out. Okay now. I see this guy looks like a nice guy's going crazy
[18:56] But he's on our side right you're on our side. I like that. So look at this the press just came out of the cage
[19:04] They just came out of the cage
[19:05] So so hillary's going to get beaten, but I haven't started with hillary yet
[19:10] What happened to her? I'm watching the debate and she disappeared. Where did she go?
[19:18] Where did she go? I thought she quit. I thought she gave up
[19:24] Where did she go? Where did hillary go? They had to start the debate without her phase two
[19:30] Why I I know where she went it's disgusting. I don't want to talk about now. It's too disgusting
[19:40] Don't say it. It's disgusting. Let's not do it. We want to be very very straight up, okay
[19:45] But I thought that wasn't that a weird deal
[19:47] We're ready to start they were looking they gave her every benefit of the doubt
[19:52] Because you know, it's abc and she practically owns abc. She really does
[19:57] I mean george stefanopoulos interviewed me the other day. It was terrible
[20:00] It was like it was one of the great interviews did anybody see that interview
[20:03] But you know, he's a big he's a big hillary fan tonight. I was interviewed by another hillary fan from abc. He's all right. He's okay
[20:21] Relax, relax, relax. Take it easy. He's very committed. Relax. He's actually a trump guy. He's just got a lot of energy. Okay
[20:31] Okay, okay
[20:32] Okay, sit down. Come on relax relax
[20:36] He's on our side who would know it, but he's on our side I think so
[20:41] I look forward to running against hillary. We're gonna beat hillary. You know what happened?
[20:46] I backed john mccain he lost and that was a tough one in all fairness because
[20:51] I would say things weren't exactly going great, but he he lost and then I backed mit romney
[20:57] He should have won. He should have won. That was a race
[21:02] We had a failed president
[21:04] And that was a race that should have been won and it should have been won easily and something happened. He went away
[21:10] Right he oh don't hurt him don't hurt him be very nice be very nice
[21:20] Yeah, be nice to him don't hurt him see how nice i'm being i'm only doing it for them
[21:31] You know that don't hurt him tell me i love you too, man. Look at you how handsome you are look
[21:44] Is there more fun than a trump rally is there more fun? There is more fun and it's true
[21:56] I talk about the love in these rooms
[21:58] It's incredible and whether I go dallas no matter where I go it's there's love they want to see smart people
[22:04] They want to see great deals. They don't want to see 19 trillion in debt
[22:09] They don't want to see mexico taking over your car companies from michigan. They don't want to see it. It's not going to happen
[22:17] It's not going to happen anymore. It's not going to happen anymore
[22:23] We're tired of it
[22:24] We're tired of these stupid people making these horrible deals and let me give you an example
[22:31] What's happened to michigan is incredible we know that with the cars and with what's going on
[22:36] You know closing places and opening up elsewhere and then the cars are made and they're put into the united states
[22:42] No tax no nothing and everyone says oh free trade i'm a free trader
[22:45] I love free trade, but it's got to be smart trade. They can't take our jobs take our base
[22:51] They can't take they can't take our money and then you you get accused. Oh, he's not a free trader
[23:01] No, no, it's got to be fair
[23:03] They can't come in and take your factories and have cars made in mexico and have cars made in japan
[23:09] And have cars made all over the place except here
[23:12] And you have your clothes plants all over the place and you guys are looking for jobs
[23:16] It's a disgrace and and by the way i'll tell you the one big thing that really helps me now
[23:21] You are really making great cars now that's really helps me because for a while it was getting a little bit sticky there, right?
[23:28] It was getting a little bit little a little bit sticky
[23:32] But you're making great cars and i'll tell you just a couple of things
[23:36] I always talk about has anyone heard what i said about the ford company ford
[23:40] Has anyone should i tell that story you heard it has anyone heard that story?
[23:44] Yes, do you want to hear it again?
[23:46] Okay, i'll tell you so
[23:51] Politicians are controlled by their donors and special interests and lobbyists that's their control
[23:56] Companies pay these lobbyists hundreds of thousands of dollars a month even millions of dollars a month
[24:02] And they go in and they give bush and they give
[24:05] I look i don't want to get involved rubio this one this one this one this one everybody except me i'm the only one that's self-funding
[24:11] I'm the only one oh it's the only one i'm the only one
[24:17] They gave hillary a fortune they're all giving these people the insurance companies the car companies other countries by the way
[24:25] How do you honestly think look these aren't stupid people how do you honestly think that china does so well?
[24:31] Is it because we're so stupid and we are but do you think they're so stupid they're not that stupid china does well
[24:38] They have so many lobbyists they have so many people representing their interests
[24:42] Well, it's just it's just i can't believe that it can happen what's going to happen is this and i tell the story of ford ford is now building a
[24:51] 2.5
[24:53] Billion dollar plant in mexico right we know that right no no no think of it now
[24:59] You guys know the automobile business better than anybody better than i do or ever will
[25:03] All i know is i know how to keep you know people working because nobody you know i've pre i have created
[25:08] Tens of thousands of jobs over my lifetime i'm really good at it i'm really good at it so
[25:15] That's what i know but you know the car industry so ford good company i like ford in fact the president wrote
[25:21] Me a beautiful letter talking about well you know it wasn't that bad but he hardly mentioned what he was doing
[25:25] He said you know how well the company he didn't want to mention this so ford spending two and a half
[25:29] Billion dollars that's the biggest plant can you imagine a one-story plant two and a half billion that's a lot that's a big plant right
[25:36] And it's going to be in mexico and they're going to build trucks cars and parts
[25:41] And they're going to make these things and they're going to ship them all over maybe the world i don't know
[25:45] I don't care about the world but they're going to ship them into this country no tax nothing now i'm
[25:50] All for it if we get something we don't get anything what do we get for it the wharton school of finance
[25:54] Got to get something we get nothing we get nothing we lose plans they close your plans and you're one of the
[26:00] I talk i tell about the ford plant but usually i'm not in michigan usually i'm someplace else where they care less about cars
[26:06] They care about other things right here we care seriously about cars right we like cars right so
[26:16] so ford two and a half billion they're going to build a plant they're going to make these cars
[26:21] They're going to be fine they're going to ship them in no tax nothing where do we benefit other than
[26:25] What happens is you're closing plants all over mostly michigan but you're closing plans now tennessee had a
[26:30] problem because tennessee was all set to get one of the big plants one of the foreign companies was
[26:35] coming in they were all set the deal was ready to be inked and all of a sudden boom it was announced
[26:40] they're going to mexico mexico is going to become the car capital of the world you better be careful
[26:45] watch not with me as president it's not by the way not with me not with me so here's what happened so jeb
[26:54] bush and hillary and others i don't even know why i mentioned jeb you know what happens is this look
[27:00] it's sad it's very sad his family's so ashamed look sad no you know why i don't like it spending
[27:09] millions of dollars of advertising on me negative ads on me he's got to get through about seven other
[27:14] guys before it gets to me why isn't he spending on other people so here's the story so they're given
[27:19] i think he has 128 million dollars now a lot of it's been spent think of this think of this the person
[27:26] that spent the least by far is donald trump and i'm in first place by a lot isn't that great the
[27:38] person that spent the least is trump the person that spent the most is jeb bush 55 55 million dollars
[27:48] and he's down at the bottom of the barrel practically now wouldn't it be nice if we could do that for our
[27:56] country spend the least and get the best production now i'm going to be spending a lot i thought again
[28:02] i'm spending my own money i'm the only one i'm self-funding but listen to this i thought i'd be
[28:08] at about 35 million dollars to this point you know i'm prepared for it i don't care whatever it
[28:11] costs i mean whatever hey look if i see i'm doing poorly i'm doing poorly but you know we all know
[28:16] but i'm doing well but i'm expected i expected by this time by like january to be up to about 35
[28:23] million in expenditures for ads mostly for advertising right and i spend nothing no because he's no
[28:35] i spent nothing i spent nothing to be honest i spent i think two hundred and twelve thousand
[28:42] dollars and that was only because i like the people the people in iowa great some of those radio
[28:46] stations have been so you know they've been nice i put some ads on the radio stations in iowa but i
[28:52] spent two hundred thousand dollars they've spent 30 40 50 25 28 million the money they spend and they
[29:00] have no control over it and you know these packs the money's all being stolen from inside because the
[29:04] consultants are like blood suckers they're 10 times worse than a real estate salesman or broker
[29:10] 10 times which is saying pretty bad stuff so just think of it so we have a case where i'm going to
[29:16] have 35 million dollars spent i'm 35 million under budget is that good wouldn't that be nice 30 and very
[29:24] importantly i'm i'm doing the best by far doing the best because the fox poll that just came out
[29:28] we have a couple of them we have cnn so good 36 second place is 16 then you have nine and eight
[29:38] or five or two or one tell you they're nice guys they're very non-combative they're so non-combative
[29:55] i never saw people they say please leave and they walk out i mean they're very non-combative people
[30:03] that's that you know the funny thing and i i mean this i could take those three people the three people
[30:08] they'll say it was a massive massive demonstration the three people and what they do is they put them
[30:13] in little sections so you go but i like that because then the cameras have to follow them to
[30:16] see how many people are here i do but but i really believe if i took those three people
[30:22] and i think they're good unless they're drugged out which is a possibility i mean honestly because then
[30:27] i can't reason with them i always say to kids people say why do your kids here and i say no drugs
[30:32] no alcohol no cigarettes whatever from the time they're like two years old i hope it worked
[30:36] i think it worked i mean i hope but i say no drugs no alcohol no cigarettes i used to drive
[30:43] them crazy ivanka would look daddy you're driving me crazy with that statement but i say that but
[30:49] unless they're drugged out which is a possibility but if they're not i'm telling you i could sit with
[30:54] those kids and we would talk and all i'm doing is i want to make our country get i want to put people
[31:01] back to work what you know forgetting all about even the applause hold for a second i want to put people
[31:07] back to work we want to make our country strong we want to create good health care not obamacare
[31:12] which is a disaster where the premiums are going up 35 45 55 percent and it's crashing and it's
[31:21] crashing and i'd explain this to them i want to take care of our veterans our veterans are being treated
[31:26] horribly it's being treated horribly i want to make i want to make our military so strong so big so
[31:38] powerful that we don't have to use it i don't want to use it i don't want to use it i don't want to use it
[31:44] i don't want to use it but what i want is i want people to look at us not like now where general
[31:50] ordiano when he left recently i saw him on television he said we're the least prepared we've been
[31:56] and i think he said from inception from the beginning but let's say since world war ii
[32:01] world war one i mean he actually said i think more than that but he said we're the least prepared
[32:07] we are practically ever we're the least prepared ever at a time when we have to be the most prepared
[32:14] and if i took these young kids that stood up and they you know they take a chance they ruin their
[32:19] lives they get arrested what what's the purpose of it if i if i put them in a room and talk to them
[32:23] really had lunch with them had dinner with and i'd do it i honestly believe assuming no substance abuse
[32:29] which is a possibility because who else would do this i mean you stand up in a group of 9 000
[32:34] maniacs that want to kill them right but but but if i really believe i could talk to them say look
[32:43] we want to make our country good we want to bring back spirit we want to bring back our jobs from
[32:48] places that have been ripping us off we want to take care of our country and you go through point
[32:53] by point whether you're a democrat a liberal a conservative republican it's all the same i mean
[32:57] don't you think that would be a positive thing i really believe if somebody would give them the message
[33:02] it would be a positive thing i really believe that okay now you can applaud
[33:06] right so so ford so they open up a plant thank you that's another friend you know it's hard to
[33:22] tell the friendly ones from there there's so much enthusiasm in here that's another one thank you
[33:28] so ford's going to build a plan and i'm saying to myself how does it help us now here's what happens
[33:33] let's assume that hillary becomes president oh my god oh she'll be the worst is that a president you
[33:42] saw her the other day in all fairness you saw it the other day you saw the debates where they hide
[33:48] them in between football games they put them on crazy how about the next debate they have they're
[33:54] putting it against two nfl playoff games so that nobody watches let me just tell you i may win i may
[34:02] not win hillary that's not a president that's not she's not taking us everything that's been involved in
[34:10] hillary has been losses you take a look even a race to obama she was going to beat obama i don't
[34:16] know who'd be worse i don't know how does it get worse but she was going to beat she was favored to
[34:22] win and she got schlonged she lost i mean she lost but i watched her the other night it was hard it was
[34:28] really hard because there were a lot of other things on better including reading books and reading
[34:31] financial papers which i actually enjoy reading but i watched her the other night and i said this is not
[34:39] a president now you can say what you want and we can be nice so we don't have to be nice but the
[34:45] truth is we have a very important thing happening if we don't get it right this time we're not going
[34:51] to have a country left folks we're not going to have a country we're not going to have a country left
[35:01] so if hilly were present or jeb or one of these guys or rubio any of them first of all most of them
[35:08] don't know what i'm talking about they think oh the ford isn't it wonderful that ford's moving to mexico
[35:12] that's a great thing by the way nabisco just to make you feel not so lonely in the car business
[35:17] nabisco from chicago just announced that they're moving their big plan from chicago into mexico okay
[35:23] mexico mexico is becoming the china nearby they are taking our business like and by the way i have
[35:33] great relationships with mexico i have great relationships with the mexican people i have
[35:37] thousands of them that have worked for me over the years i have unbelievable relationships with hispanics
[35:43] i just won a poll in nevada where i was number one with the hispanics okay because i create jobs
[35:49] i create jobs okay but so here's the story so let's say any one of these politicians other than me i mean
[35:58] honestly any one of them get elected and they're there and ford's you know building this massive
[36:04] plan now they all know it's a bad thing they know it's not good how is it good we're closing three plants
[36:11] in michigan to build one in mexico that's not too good i mean they're gonna have to do a lot of hard
[36:16] work to convince me so i i would say i devote about 30 seconds to listening to them and then i cut it
[36:20] off because i don't have time obama it was reported today played 250 rounds of golf and he's going to
[36:27] be in hawaii i think did they say for three weeks how can a president for three weeks i don't have time for
[36:34] that i love golf i think it's one of the greats but i don't have time 250 rounds that's more than a guy
[36:40] who plays on the pga tour plays he played more golf last year than tiger woods no think of it
[36:48] we don't have time for this we don't have time for this we have to work we have to work okay he talks
[36:54] about the carbon footprint and then he flies a really old 747 that spews out all sorts of to hawaii
[37:04] right the carbon for what happened to the carbon footprint so here's the story so with all of the
[37:09] money they give and it's it's massive yes thank you yes darling yes well she doesn't sound very
[37:22] tough huh that's a very weak voice go a little louder we can't hear you darling wow that's that's
[37:31] not a that's not a protester prime right so with all of this money that they give here's what happens
[37:39] they go to a jeb and they say mr president ford has moved in ba ba ba let's say he knows it's bad
[37:46] because it's bad he'll say well that's so good we don't want them to make that deal then he'll get
[37:50] a call from his donors his special interests his lobbyists and they'll say they helped you they gave
[37:57] you five million dollars jeb you have to let them do it and you know he's a very weak person so he's
[38:04] going to in two seconds you have to let them go in and he'll let them go in they'll call hillary
[38:10] they'll say madam president they gave you millions they gave you millions of dollars you can't do
[38:18] anything about that and she'll say you're right i can't they've been very loyal to me not to you but
[38:25] to her okay because she's a hundred percent look is she crooked or what okay give me a point is she
[38:32] crooked i mean how crooked is she how crooked is she and you have to understand in my prior life one of
[38:40] the magazines said world-class businessman which is true i'm all over the world and i'm i did great
[38:45] really good and i get along with everybody i get along with her i get along with everybody i get along
[38:50] with democrat that's my obligation that's my job i have to do that so they say to her they say it's bad
[38:57] we got to stop it and then she'll be confronted with the special interest of lobbyists the donors
[39:02] and immediately she'll say all right let them build now here's trump now trump is president trump trump
[39:08] trump is now president trump trump so president trump i owe them all like you know who i owe i hear
[39:19] this is the group i owe i owe these people wow i owe these people so i didn't take any of their money
[39:27] and by the way you know it's sort of adverse to what i do these people are coming up especially i've been
[39:31] in first place practically since i announced right for like six months i've been in first place do you
[39:37] know how many people have come up don i'd love to contribute to your campaign i said i'm not taking
[39:43] money they said but we'd love to make a major contribution because if i do you know what's
[39:49] going to happen it's just psychologically even if it's not a deal or anything it's just a guy gives
[39:53] you five million bucks and he's representing the company or he's representing china or he's you know
[39:58] you sort of feel obligated i still really don't think but i'm a very loyal person so i just do it
[40:04] easy way i don't take it and it's very hard for me to say no because all my life i take i take money
[40:08] i love money i take money now i'm telling these people i don't want your money i don't want your
[40:13] money because i know what happened so now they come to me and i'll get a call from the head of ford nice
[40:19] guy by the way i think who the hell knows right but i think he's wrote me a beautiful letter and he'll
[40:24] say to me mr president we're doing a wonderful thing i said why is it wonderful that you're building a
[40:30] plant in mexico why can't you build that plant in the united states ideally in michigan you know
[40:35] ideally i want it in michigan but why can't you even if it's anywhere in the united states right
[40:40] but why can't you build that plant in michigan well after about three seconds i know it's all
[40:48] nonsense because there's nothing you can give this and i'll say no no no here's the story
[40:53] here's the story i'm a free trader but this is no good for our country if you build that plant in
[41:00] mexico i'm going to charge you 35 on every car truck and park that you send into our country every
[41:09] single one every single car truck and park we're going to put a tax of 35 and i'm a free trader but
[41:22] we can't be stupid traders because what's happening with china is 10 times worse i mean we have a trade
[41:28] deficit with china 500 billion dollars a year and then i listen to obama our trading partner they're
[41:36] no partner they're ripping us and i love china they pay me a fortune they buy my apartments i have them
[41:42] as tenants in my building i have the largest bank in the world in china they pay me a lot of rent how can
[41:48] i dislike china but they're just too smart for our politicians so here's what happens so i'll say i want
[41:53] 35 tax on every car and every truck and every part that comes into this country and you're going to
[42:01] say well we won't do it now here's what's probably going to happen and i have the smartest businessmen
[42:06] in the world many of them are endorsing me carl icon's endorsing me a lot of the great ones because
[42:10] they know i'm like smart this is what i do so what happens but this is too easy i don't need any but this
[42:16] is too easy this takes minutes so what happens is he'll say probably we can't do that i'll say don't
[42:23] worry about it call me whenever you're ready within 24 hours i'll get a call and he'll make one more
[42:28] plea mr president that's not right i'll say 35 and if you wait another day it's going to 40 okay
[42:35] going to 40. and as good and as tough and as smart as they are here's what he's going to say has to
[42:45] this isn't like 99 this is 100 he's going to say mr president we're going to build our new plant in
[42:52] the united states right here well this is the place i'd like to see it but we're going to
[43:02] build on you and that's 100 now he may wait a day he may wait two days but that's what's going to
[43:09] happen all right you can get him out get him out yeah get him out thank you all right he's so brave
[43:25] he's so brave he's holding up his hands like he's mike tyson he'd never threw a punch so brave
[43:33] so anybody else is going to do whatever these companies want i'm not because i'm not controlled
[43:43] i am not controlled by anybody i'm doing this to make our country great again very simple very
[43:52] simple and your industry and michigan's going to start up big league again these car manufacturers
[44:01] they're going to build right here now it's enough it's enough what's gone on the stupidity a friend of
[44:06] mine is an excavator and i tell this story and it happened six seven months ago and he's very depressed
[44:13] i said what's wrong with you very good great excavator digs foundations and footings for a lot
[44:18] of big buildings and roads and everything else and he's always ordered caterpillar tractor stuff he's
[44:23] always ordered caterpillar excavators and tractors so i said to him uh why are you upset he said the
[44:29] first time in my life donald i've ordered kamatsu tractors a big order i said how do you find them good
[44:35] they're not quite as good but they're good they're quality equipment but i never did it before i've always
[44:39] my whole life i've ordered caterpillar tractors caterpillar equipment he said but what japan has
[44:45] done to the yen with their recent devaluations makes it impossible for caterpillar to compete now
[44:52] he told me this probably almost a year ago now i've been telling the story and i've been saying be
[44:58] careful of caterpillar look at what's happened to their stock i mean this guy told me better than any
[45:01] analyst can tell me because that's your customer and i said so why did you do it he said i owe it to
[45:06] myself to my family to my employees to my company to buy the best stuff i can get for the best price
[45:12] and he was very very upset first time in his entire life that that happened he was very very upset now
[45:20] they devalue we have carolyn kennedy as a negotiator with japan we have political hacks as our negotiators
[45:30] with china they put these brutal killers in charge i know these guys they are brutal brutal brilliant
[45:37] killers and we put political hacks in there we put carolyn she's a nice person she's my daughter
[45:43] thinks she's very nice so she has to be nice ivanka likes us who cares i don't want her negotiating
[45:51] i saw it on 60 minutes they did a profile on carolyn kennedy hello look at these people
[45:58] boy what a bunch of losers i'll tell you you are a loser you really are a loser now get them out
[46:10] you know it's so staged they put them in different corners so staged really are a loser sad it's sad
[46:20] because we're all here to make america great again we're not here we don't have to listen to this
[46:24] stuff but i i have to tell you i see what these guys do and they you know they stage it because
[46:32] they only have a few of them these guys will make it sound like it's a big deal there's like three
[46:36] people so far four people i'll tell you we should have been doing that for the last seven eight years
[46:41] why didn't we do it okay say what you want about them but we should have been doing that we don't
[46:48] do that for some reason we meaning we collectively we don't do that we should have been doing that
[46:54] because what they've done to our country is destroyed our country they're and it i'll tell you what it
[47:01] doesn't have long to go we're in a big fat bubble we're going to be up to 21 trillion dollars in debt
[47:08] you saw that piece of garbage omnibus that they just passed which is a disgrace which is a disgrace
[47:16] approved by the republicans by the way i'm more angry with the republicans than i am with the
[47:20] democrats at least you know where they're coming from but what they just passed is a disgrace
[47:27] it's a disgrace if we're going to bring our country back and it shouldn't be allowed and these
[47:32] politicians that get elected by you and everybody else and they go to washington and then they do a
[47:37] total fold all the time they're always folding because they're politicians they're all talk
[47:43] they're no action they don't get the job done they don't get it done so anyway so that's what happened
[47:57] that's the story on the fort hard to believe they're so weak though do you notice they just walk out
[48:37] come with us oh okay they're young people you know what idealistic although he wasn't so young actually
[48:43] i must tell you so with ford they come back i guarantee they come back with nabisco same thing
[48:50] i don't want people building outside of this country i want to keep our great people to work
[48:55] i want to bring jobs back from china china is ripping us like nobody has ever ripped us china created the
[49:03] single greatest theft in the history of the world they've taken our money they've taken our jobs
[49:10] they've rebuilt china i love china i love the people i love what they do for me personally they're
[49:16] wonderful but they're too smart they're too sharp they're too cunning for our politicians who are not
[49:21] smart people to handle and on top of not being smart people they're totally under the control of people
[49:28] that represent interests that are not good for us it's very simple don't forget don't forget six months
[49:38] ago prior to june 16th i was like the fair-haired boy i gave 350 000 to the republican governors and so
[49:46] i was on the other side writing checks i was like mr establishment can you believe it once i do this i'm
[49:52] not establishment anymore which i love i love i love but nobody understands the game somebody said well have
[50:01] you dealt with politicians like how about all my life i deal with that's all i do is i deal with
[50:05] politicians i got the old post office on pennsylvania avenue probably the most sought after property in
[50:12] the history of the gsa general services i got it under the obama administration can you believe it
[50:18] everybody wanted it i got it that means you're really good i mean you really and now it's under
[50:24] construction we're building one of the great hotels of the world it's under budget ahead of schedule
[50:31] it's about a year early we're going to be opening in september of next year of 16. it's a year ahead
[50:37] of schedule that's what we have to do and you know what we have to build a wall on our southern border
[50:45] we have to do it we have to do it and it's going to be a great wall it's going to be a real wall nobody's
[50:56] coming over that wall folks nobody it's going to be way way up there it's going to be a trump wall i
[51:03] always say i've got to make it great and i've got to even make it beautiful because someday they will
[51:09] honor me by calling it the trump wall so now we're going to build a wall and it's not a big deal
[51:21] building a wall is that you know that's not a big deal when i build 95 story buildings let me tell you
[51:26] walls are easy walls are real easy it's called precast plank now in the past you know they've wanted
[51:33] walls but they weren't able oh here we go i can't believe how easily they leave i'll tell you these
[51:48] security people they're amazing they just leave okay so we're going to build a wall and we're going to
[51:54] let people come in but they're coming in legally they're coming in legally now if you remember when
[52:06] i first came up with illegal immigration oh did i take trouble rush limbo said i've never seen any
[52:12] human being take more incoming than trump and then i turned out to be right it turned out to be right
[52:18] right it turned out to be right and now everybody wants to come to my but it's too late for them
[52:24] most of them it's over it's over many of them are over do i hear some noise
[52:33] it's so much fun okay you can get him out yeah don't hurt him be nice now the press is going to
[52:43] say trump is soft it's the problem he's soft he's getting very soft uh yeah don't hurt him okay okay
[52:54] so let me tell you one other thing because it just has to go with the deal making and we need it
[53:00] we need love we need compassion we need heart we need great health care we need a lot of things
[53:05] but look at the iran deal and this just came to me and i've never heard it from anywhere else iran made
[53:12] one of the greatest deals ever made in the history of deal making beyond countries we gave them 150
[53:18] billion dollars they kept our prisoners which now they just announced they will begin negotiation for
[53:26] the prisoners do you believe this we could have had them far they kept our prisoners and they want to
[53:33] now start negotiation and they want a lot and they let us know but we want a lot it makes me so angry
[53:40] okay so angry we should have gone in there three years ago with this you ever see anything take so
[53:45] long as this crazy iran deal we should have gone in there three years ago say look number one give us
[53:52] back our prisoners you don't want them we do it'll set a great tone very important give us back our
[53:58] prisoners and they would have said no we get up we walk a day later and what we do when we walk what do
[54:04] we do we double up the sanctions we triple up a day later within 48 hours let's say they call back okay
[54:12] we'll give you that's it we have our prisoners back that would have been three years ago but we have people
[54:17] like john kerry and people like barack obama that are so incompetent that deal is a disgrace so i've been
[54:27] saying this 24 days for inspection but the 24 days doesn't start till a whole legal process ends and
[54:34] who knows how long that so they have like this huge long period of time so they're doing nuclear and by
[54:41] the time we get there everything's beautiful it looks like that floor right there everything's beautiful
[54:45] painted battleship gray everything's beautiful so that's that now they have a right to self-inspect
[54:50] how about their bad areas they don't want us in those areas those areas will self-inspect i mean
[54:56] i can't even talk about this deal so i've been saying it's one of the greatest deals ever
[55:01] and then about a week and a half ago i said it's not they made an even greater deal than that we gave
[55:07] them a rack think of it the second largest oil reserves in the world we gave them a rack so they got
[55:16] the deal they're loaded up with cash to have 150 billion billion billion with a b dollars but what did
[55:24] we do we gave them iraq because when we decapitated iraq those two armies those two militaries were the
[55:31] same they'd fight for decades boom boom they go 15 feet back forth there was equilibrium in the middle
[55:38] east you had a dictator who the hell cares what they'll i want to build this country i want to rebuild america
[55:44] we spent look look we've spent four trillion maybe five they don't even know what we spent they used to
[55:56] say and i've been using this number for two years so you know it's a hell of a lot higher two trillion
[56:02] dollars in iraq thousands of our young great people dead wounded warriors who i love all over the place
[56:08] you see them all over these incredible people our most incredible people the wounded warriors
[56:13] they're all over so think of this think of it so we gave them all of this money
[56:24] cost two it's impossible two trillion this isn't now billions this is now we're into the trillions
[56:32] words you never even heard of 10 12 years ago two trillion dollars but the two trillion is now
[56:37] probably three trillion and in the middle east i guess we've spent five trillion dollars we could have
[56:43] rebuilt our bridges our tunnels our roads our hospitals our airports we could have rebuilt our
[56:50] country we could have rebuilt our military we could have taken care of social security we could have
[56:56] taken care of everything we could have taken care of our veterans who are treated worse than illegal
[57:03] immigrants in many cases so so just think about it so we spend at the time two trillion which is now at
[57:15] least three to for iraq and what's happening iran is coming in second largest oil reserves in the world
[57:22] iran is coming in they've been fighting for decades and decades iran is coming and walking in and just
[57:30] like you're standing here and sitting here no everybody's standing that's good but just like you're
[57:35] standing here they're taking over iraq what have we got we got nothing and i've been saying for three
[57:42] years take the oil i didn't say bomb the oil you can do that too i don't care because we'll rebuild
[57:46] at exxon mobil these guys are so good boom boom boom that had they put it back so fast but you take
[57:52] the oil and you take the oil you know to the victor belong the spoils right you take the oil you don't
[57:57] just leave it we're the only country in the world you know when i was young when i was very young we
[58:05] never lost a war they always used to say my history teacher the united states has never lost war now we
[58:10] never win a war we can't beat anybody we can't beat anybody we can't beat anybody we can't beat isis
[58:15] i watch on television they have a general well what do you think about isis do you think we can
[58:20] i don't know it's going to be a very tough battle i'm saying where is general patton i want general
[58:26] patton where is general mcgartha where is no i watch this general on television saying that isis is a
[58:36] is a tough battle then i hear one of the reasons they're not doing the oil is obama doesn't want to
[58:42] infect the environment because the oil is going to pollute the environment this man there's something
[58:48] wrong with him there's something wrong with him so i said take the oil take the oil and you know what
[59:02] we do with the oil we take the oil and we give some to the soldiers that have been so badly hurt
[59:08] we give some to those wounded warriors we give some to the parents who have lost soldiers sons and
[59:15] daughters in that war and you're talking about peanuts compared to the values you're talking about
[59:25] peanuts and you go in and you take the oil and you encircle it and you make a lot of money and you use
[59:31] it for good causes and you give some to iraq if the government remains i mean it's horrible government
[59:36] look it's so corrupt it's such a corrupt government you know that i mean isis formed the reason isis
[59:42] formed they wouldn't let them in on the deal so they formed isis and isis turned out to be a hell of a
[59:47] lot tougher than the iraqi government so who has the oil now so and who takes the oil you know who
[59:54] the number one buyer of the oil is china china they haven't fired a bullet they haven't spent 10
[1:00:02] cents they're buying the oil you know who's taking the oil in libya china china smart i'm not angry with
