Transcript - Speech: Donald Trump in Delaware, OH - October 20, 2016 | Factba.se

Donald Trump

00:00:00 - 00:00:06 (6 sec)

Thank you. Thank you. And thank you to the fire marshal. They've got a lot of people outside. But they've got a lot in, so I appreciate it. So thank you very much. [Applause]

Donald Trump

00:00:06 - 00:00:07 (1 sec)

Audience

00:00:07 - 00:00:08 (1 sec)

Donald Trump

00:00:08 - 00:00:36 (28 sec)

In 19 days, we are going to win the state of Ohio and we are going to win the White House. [Applause]

Donald Trump

00:00:36 - 00:00:52 (16 sec)

And I worked in Ohio and I love Ohio. I can tell you. [Applause]

Donald Trump

00:00:52 - 00:01:06 (14 sec)

Early voting is underway. So make sure you mail in your ballot. And you have to do it quickly and in person. But on November 8th, get there, we're going to do something that has never been done before in this country. Believe me.

Donald Trump

00:01:06 - 00:01:43 (37 sec)

Ladies and gentleman, I want to make a major announcement today. I would like to promise and pledge to all of my voters and supporters, and to all of the people of the United States that I will totally accept the results of this great and historic Presidential election, if I win. [Applause]

Donald Trump

00:01:43 - 00:02:15 (32 sec)

All right. Seriously, the debate last night was amazing. And everybody said, I won. [Applause]

Donald Trump

00:02:15 - 00:02:26 (11 sec)

Including every single online poll, and some had it at 90 and close to 90 percent, so that's pretty cool. [Applause]

Donald Trump

00:02:26 - 00:03:04 (38 sec)

The question of voter fraud came up during the debate. We want fairness in the election. This is having nothing to do with me. But having to do with the future of our country. We have to have fairness. John Podesta, Hillary Clinton's campaign chairman, was quoted in WikiLeaks as saying, illegal immigrants could vote as long as they have their drivers license. [Applause]

Donald Trump

00:03:04 - 00:03:23 (19 sec)

What I'm saying is don't be naive folks. Don't be naive. One of the big issues that came up last night, was the fact that the Clinton campaign has paid people to disrupt, violently our rallies, and to insight absolute total bedlam. [Applause]

Donald Trump

00:03:23 - 00:03:56 (33 sec)

It's so bad, so bad. And you know, I have had occasions where we had rallies and it was so incredibly violent. I said, what's going on over here? These were paid people by the Clinton campaign and it just came out.

Donald Trump

00:03:56 - 00:04:17 (21 sec)

And I give a lot of credit to the people that brought this out. Believe me. This is criminal behavior that violates centuries of tradition of peaceful, democratic elections. A campaign like Clinton's that will insight violence, is truly a campaign that will do anything to win.

Donald Trump

00:04:17 - 00:04:46 (29 sec)

And the candidate like crooked Hillary Clinton, who will lie to Congress, lie to the FBI, destroy 33,000 e-mails, put her office up for sale and put our confidential information in the reach of our enemies, is a candidate who is truly capable of anything, including voter fraud.

Donald Trump

00:04:46 - 00:05:04 (18 sec)

In addition, it was just learned that Hillary Clinton was given the exact questions to a previous debate, word for word, by Donna Brazile... [Booing]

Donald Trump

00:05:04 - 00:05:24 (20 sec)

... who is now under tremendous pressure to resign from the DNC, as she should be. She should resign. How can a woman do that? That is cheating at the highest level.

Donald Trump

00:05:24 - 00:05:51 (27 sec)

But I ask you, why shouldn't Hillary Clinton resign from the race? She was given -- think of it -- she was given these questions. She used these questions, studied the questions, got the perfect answer for the questions, and never said that she did something that was totally wrong and inappropriate. Hence the name crooked Hillary. [Applause]

Donald Trump

00:05:51 - 00:05:54 (3 sec)

Years ago there was a show called The $64

Donald Trump

00:05:54 - 00:06:44 (50 sec)

She looked like such a fool last night on television, trying to say, well, she didn't know what was going on. She had no idea. She said, get me out of here. She got the questions, she got the questions. She gave them to Hillary Clinton. Hillary Clinton didn't say, I'd like to announce that a mistake was made and I can't take these questions. I mean, look, how many questions are there, right? Can you imagine if I got the questions? They would call for the reestablishment of the electric chair. Do you agree with that? Right?

Donald Trump

00:06:44 - 00:07:12 (28 sec)

She got the questions, and she didn't report it. She went out there knowing the questions, she didn't report it. That is very dishonest. She's a very dishonest person. This is even bigger because we are going for the presidency of the United States, so this is very important. Hillary Clinton is the most corrupt and dishonest person ever to seek the office of the presidency. [Applause]

Donald Trump

00:07:12 - 00:07:25 (13 sec)

So it's in that context that I was asked a question about whether I would agree in advance to concede the results on election night, if for some reason we should lose -- which we're not going to lose. [Applause]

Donald Trump

00:07:25 - 00:07:52 (27 sec)

And that was sort of an unprecedented question. If Al Gore or George Bush had agreed three weeks before the election to concede the results, and waived their right to a legal challenge or a recount, then there would be no Supreme Court case and no Gore -- Gore v. Bush or Bush v. Gore, and there have been numerous other cases. In effect, I'm being asked to waive centuries of legal precedent designed to protect the voters.

Donald Trump

00:07:52 - 00:08:14 (22 sec)

But listen to this, according to Pew, highly respected, there are 24 million voter registrations in the United States that are either invalid or significantly inaccurate. OK. I think the people in this room understand it more than our leaders.

Donald Trump

00:08:14 - 00:08:37 (23 sec)

Although maybe our leaders understand more than we think they understand. Listen to this. 1.8 million people are dead, but they're registered to vote, some of whom vote even though they're dead. Which is really a hard thing to do, but it's easy if fraud is involved, right?

Donald Trump

00:08:37 - 00:08:54 (17 sec)

So you got 1.8 million people who are dead who are registered to vote, and some of them vote. One was a Republican and, after death, became a Democrat. [Laughter]

Donald Trump

00:08:54 - 00:09:40 (46 sec)

It's true, 2.8 million people are registered in more than one state, so you've got 2.8 million people, they can vote in Ohio and someplace else. And 14 percent of non-citizens are registered to vote. And then I hear we have such a beautiful, everything's so wonderful, you understand where I'm coming from I think, right? Now I am not a politician so I can say it like it is, but those are terrible -- those are terrible and frightening statistics.

Donald Trump

00:09:40 - 00:10:07 (27 sec)

America is a constitutional republic with a system of laws. These laws are triggered in the case of fraud or in the event of a recount where it's needed. Of course I would accept a clear election result, but I would also reserve my right to contest or file a legal challenge in the case of a questionable result, right? [Applause]

Donald Trump

00:10:07 - 00:10:24 (17 sec)

And always I will follow and abide by all of the rules and traditions of all of the many candidates who have come before me, always. Bottom line, we're going to win, we're going to win. We're going to win so bad. [Applause]

Donald Trump

00:10:24 - 00:10:35 (11 sec)

We're going to win so bad. November 8th, we're going to win. Together, we are going to deliver real change that puts again, America first. It's going to be America first. [Applause]

Audience

00:10:35 - 00:10:37 (2 sec)

Donald Trump

00:10:37 - 00:10:44 (7 sec)

Thank you. Boy, do you people have spirit, so early. [Applause]

Donald Trump

00:10:44 - 00:11:02 (18 sec)

Beautiful, it's a beautiful thing to see. All over the country, it's the same. The spirit, it's a movement like they've never seen. The dishonest media, they've never seen anything like it. They've never seen it. They've never seen anything like it. [Booing]

Donald Trump

00:11:02 - 00:11:26 (24 sec)

They've never seen anything like it. We are going to renegotiate our terrible trade deals and illegal immigration. Stop the massive inflow of refugees. Reduce surging crime, cut taxes and regulation, unleash job producing energy, American energy. [Applause]

Donald Trump

00:11:26 - 00:11:35 (9 sec)

Rebuild our military and take care of our vets. Now, our vets. [Applause]

Donald Trump

00:11:35 - 00:12:13 (38 sec)

Our great veterans have not been taken care of the way they should be taken care of, that I can tell you. Our vets are treated often times not as well as illegal immigrants and we're going to change that very fast. Our vets are going to be treated properly and with great respect. That's not happening now. [Applause]

Donald Trump

00:12:13 - 00:12:16 (3 sec)

And we are going to repeal and replace Obamacare. [Applause]

Donald Trump

00:12:16 - 00:12:41 (25 sec)

Just in case you haven't noticed, rates are going up, 60, 70, 80 percent. Next year's going to be worse. It's a catastrophe and it's dying anyway but we're going to repeal it, replace it, you're going to have great health care at a fraction of the cost, OK? [Applause]

Donald Trump

00:12:41 - 00:13:12 (31 sec)

Your jobs will come back under a Trump administration. Your jobs have fled. Your incomes will go up under a Trump administration, your taxes will go way down under a Trump administration and Hillary Clinton is going to raise your taxes, she's going to raise your taxes. Your companies won't be leaving Ohio under a Trump administration. [Applause]

Donald Trump

00:13:12 - 00:13:59 (47 sec)

Right now our economy isn't growing practically at all. Last quarter it was only around one percent GDP. People have hardly ever heard of numbers like that. If in China it goes to seven or eight percent, it's like considered a national catastrophe. Here, we're one percent, isn't everything wonderful? Everything's not wonderful. And if it was wonderful, we wouldn't have packed auditoriums no matter where we go, believe me. [Applause]

Donald Trump

00:13:59 - 00:14:16 (17 sec)

I'm going to get us to four percent growth and maybe more and create 25 million jobs for our country over the next 10 years.[Applause]

Donald Trump

00:14:16 - 00:14:31 (15 sec)

Many workers are earning less today than they were 18 years ago. They're working harder, they're working longer, but they're making less and in some cases, they're working two and three jobs, but still taking home less money. It's ridiculous.

Donald Trump

00:14:31 - 00:14:47 (16 sec)

They're getting older. They're working harder, and so am I. I'm working harder and I'm getting older, too. It's harder, believe me. I'm working harder. [Applause]

Donald Trump

00:14:47 - 00:15:30 (43 sec)

Companies like Carrier are firing their workers and moving to Mexico. Ford is moving all of their small car production to Mexico. When I'm president, if a company wants to fire their workers and leave for Mexico or other countries, then we will charge them a 35 percent tax when they want to ship their products back into the United States. [Applause]

Donald Trump

00:15:30 - 00:15:44 (14 sec)

And they won't leave, believe me. Those companies will not leave. If we do that, they will not leave. And you know what? If they do, that'll be fine. We'll make a lot of money, but they're not going to be leaving.

Donald Trump

00:15:44 - 00:16:08 (24 sec)

And our politicians should have told you this years ago. You would have stopped this horrible onslaught of companies leaving. But two things: either they're not very smart or they are smart, but they're controlled by their donors and special interests. OK? So either way, the people lose.

Donald Trump

00:16:08 - 00:16:27 (19 sec)

Hillary Clinton has raised countless millions of dollars from big donors who want to ship our jobs to other countries. You know that. You saw that last night. Remember? I said open border

Donald Trump

00:16:27 - 00:16:34 (7 sec)

Boy, that WikiLeaks has done a job on her, hasn't it? [Applause]

Donald Trump

00:16:34 - 00:17:08 (34 sec)

And you take a look. She really has a hatred almost for Catholics. She's got a hatred for evangelicals. I mean, what they said about Catholics and evangelicals and so many other things, so many other things. And actually, the one I liked was John Podesta saying that -- who is her campaign chairman -- saying that Hillary Clinton has bad instincts. She's got bad instincts.

Donald Trump

00:17:08 - 00:17:30 (22 sec)

I don't want somebody with bad instincts as our president. I'll tell you, if I were Hillary, I'd fire that guy. He's said so many bad things. Well, Bill, said about Obamacare, right? Two weeks ago, he said, This is the craziest thing I've ever seen.""" don't want somebody with bad instincts as "

Donald Trump

00:17:30 - 00:17:34 (4 sec)

He was right. He suffered that evening, right? He suffered. [Laughter]

Donald Trump

00:17:34 - 00:17:54 (20 sec)

But this is why I'm proposing a package of ethics reforms to make our government honest once again. It's time to drain the swamp of corruption in Washington, D.C. and we're going to do it. [Applause]

Donald Trump

00:17:54 - 00:18:05 (11 sec)

Those reforms include the following: a five-year ban on executive branch and congressional officials lobbying the government after they leave government service. They're making a fortune. Not going to happen. That's why they make all these sweetheart deals.

Donald Trump

00:18:05 - 00:18:23 (18 sec)

A lifetime ban on former executive branch officials lobbying on behalf of a foreign government. A ban on foreign lobbyists raising money for American elections. I don't want that. You don't want that. Nobody wants that. And you wonder why do we make all these dumb deals and these horrible deals.

Donald Trump

00:18:23 - 00:18:27 (4 sec)

Friends of mine come up, How could they have made such a stupid deal? They can't be." I said

Donald Trump

00:18:27 - 00:18:38 (11 sec)

Additionally, I'm going to push for a constitutional amendment to impose term limits on all members of Congress. [Applause]

Donald Trump

00:18:38 - 00:18:57 (19 sec)

It's about time. Not only will be end government corruption, but we will end economic stagnation. My plan for the economy can be summed up in three very beautiful words: jobs, jobs, jobs. [Applause]

Donald Trump

00:18:57 - 00:19:30 (33 sec)

At the center of what will be a historic jobs plan will be fixing our terrible trade deals. And they are terrible: 47 million Americans are in poverty and 45 million Americans are right now on food stamps. We have nearly $800 billion annual trade deficit in goods with the world, and the worst so-called recovery since the Great Depression.

Donald Trump

00:19:30 - 00:19:50 (20 sec)

You know, we hear about a recovery. It's the worst since the Great Depression. Hard to believe. Ohio has lost one in four manufacturing jobs since NAFTA. And China's entrance into the World Trade Organization, two deals done by Bill and backed strongly by crooked Hillary.

Donald Trump

00:19:50 - 00:20:05 (15 sec)

America has lost -- listen to this -- 70,000 factories since China joined the WTO. And by the way, try doing business over in China. Not easy, folks, not easy.

Donald Trump

00:20:05 - 00:20:25 (20 sec)

We're living through the biggest job theft in the history of the world. They're stealing our jobs, they're stealing our companies, they're taking our money. We have drugs, we have debt, we have empty factories. That's going to end. That's going to end, so easy. [Applause]

Donald Trump

00:20:25 - 00:20:50 (25 sec)

A Trump Administration is going to renegotiate NAFTA. The worst ever, probably the worst trade deal ever signed in history. Stand up to foreign cheating and currency manipulation. And stop the jobs from leaving our country. We're going to stop it. It won't be hard, won't be hard. [Applause]

Donald Trump

00:20:50 - 00:21:04 (14 sec)

In order to help bring our jobs back to Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, all across this great nation. I'm going to undertake a major reorganization of our bureaucracy, which we have to do. [Applause]

Donald Trump

00:21:04 - 00:21:37 (33 sec)

Have to do. American trade policy is currently mismanaged by dozens of competing bureaucracies spread across the Departments of Agriculture, Commerce, Labor, State, Treasury, all of these departments, so many departments. Get that mosquito out of here. I get a little nervous with mosquitoes now a days folks. But up here you haven't been hit, yet. Right? That's all we need is a nice mosquito bite.

Donald Trump

00:21:37 - 00:22:03 (26 sec)

Thank you. I love you too. Mosquito bite right smack in the middle of the nose. No, we don't want it. In my Administration, all trade policy making will be consolidated into one very important office. [Applause]

Donald Trump

00:22:03 - 00:22:39 (36 sec)

We're going to call it, the American desk. And it will be located inside the Department of Commerce. And I'll be checking with those people. Because we're not going to lose our companies anymore. It's so complicated. So many different departments have to get involve, and by the time they get involved, they're gone. They've signed with all of these other countries. The mission of the American desk will be to protect the economic interests of the American worker, and the national interests of the United States. Because they're hurting our national interests.

Donald Trump

00:22:39 - 00:23:05 (26 sec)

We owe $20 trillion right now. Doubled under Obama. And we haven't done anything. Our roads are bad. Our airports are bad. Our schools are bad. Everything is bad. They're falling down. So we have all this debt and we haven't started yet. Because we have to fix the infrastructure of our country. It's going to be America first, believe me. [Applause]

Donald Trump

00:23:05 - 00:23:15 (10 sec)

As part of our plan to bring back our jobs, we're going to lower our business tax from 35 percent to 15 percent. [Applause]

Donald Trump

00:23:15 - 00:23:50 (35 sec)

We're also going to rebuild our inner cities. African-Americans and Hispanics living in the inner cities are suffering. The violence is unbearable and unbelievable. You walk to the store with your child and you get shot. There's no education. There are no jobs. And there's practically no safety. Nearly 3,500 people have been shot in Chicago since the beginning of the year, since January 1st. 3,500 people. That's worse than what you're reading about over in the Middle East in many cases.

Donald Trump

00:23:50 - 00:24:19 (29 sec)

Homicides are up nearly 50 percent in Washington, D.C. And more than 60 percent in Baltimore, and it's getting worse. To the African- American and Hispanic communities who are suffering, I say, what do you have to lose? Vote for Donald Trump. I'm going to fix the inner cities. I'm going to fix the inner cities. [Applause]

Donald Trump

00:24:19 - 00:24:48 (29 sec)

What do you have to lose? Seriously. And I mean it. The inner cities are so bad. They've been run so badly by Democrats for decades and decades and decades. Sometimes more than 100 years unbroken. And they get the votes and they go on their way and they don't do a thing. So, I hope the African-Americans, I hope the Hispanics, I hope they're going to vote for Trump. We're going to do something about it. Believe me. Big league.[Applause]

Donald Trump

00:24:48 - 00:25:15 (27 sec)

We will be a rich nation once again. But to be a rich country, we must also be a safe country. And national security begins at the border. Speaking in secret to a foreign bank, Hillary Clinton said her dream is for totally open trade and open borders. You saw that last night when she tried to lie about it, right? [Booing]

Donald Trump

00:25:15 - 00:25:49 (34 sec)

She tried to lie about it and she came up with something, she was talking about energy. She tried to lie about it. Just like she lied about other things, she tried to lie last night. Remember she said TPP, which by the way, is a disaster. It will be a disaster for Ohio. They have no guards, no safeguards. They don't talk about currency manipulation in the agreement. It's thousands of pages long, it's a disaster for Ohio and Pennsylvania and any place that makes anything, it's bad.

Donald Trump

00:25:49 - 00:26:37 (48 sec)

Hillary's plan includes an open border with the Middle East. Meaning generations of radicalism and terrorism spreading and growing within our shores. Just last week, an Iraqi refugee approved for entry by Hillary Clinton's State Department pled guilty to joining ISIS. There are many of them. So let me state this as clearly as I can. If I'm elected president of the United States, I am going to keep radical Islamic terrorists the hell out of our country. [Applause]

Donald Trump

00:26:37 - 00:27:08 (31 sec)

We've got enough problems, don't you think? Don't you think we have enough? That'll end up being the great Trojan horse that they'll read about in 200 years like you read about Trojan horse current. That will be -- and we don't want to be a part of that history. We will also stop the crisis of illegal immigration. A Trump administration will secure and defend our borders. [Applause]

Donald Trump

00:27:08 - 00:27:10 (2 sec)

And yes, we will build the wall. We need it. [Applause]

Donald Trump

00:27:10 - 00:27:27 (17 sec)

And Mexico will pay for the wall. We have the first ever endorsement from our ICE and border patrol officers, first time they've ever endorsed a candidate for president. [Applause]

Donald Trump

00:27:27 - 00:27:53 (26 sec)

Every year countless American lives are lost to sanctuary cities. My opponent strongly supports sanctuary cities, I don't think she knows why. Like the ones that got Kate Steinle killed by a five-time deported criminal illegal immigrant. If I'm elected president, I'm going to cut off federal funding to sanctuary cities. [Applause]

Donald Trump

00:27:53 - 00:28:25 (32 sec)

And quickly. And we are going to make sure that our immigration authorities do the job that they're supposed to be doing. And these, in many cases, are great people that are not allowed to do the job. I can tell you in the case of the border patrol and the ICE agents, these are great American people that frankly, by backing me, they're going to be working much harder. They don't have to stand back. You know the expression, it's called stand back." People just walk right into our country.""nd quickly. And we are going to make sure that our im"

Donald Trump

00:28:25 - 00:28:49 (24 sec)

We are going to save American lives. Either we win this election or we are going to lose this country. To sum up, here are some of the amazing things we're going to be doing for our country starting in 2017. We are going to have the biggest tax cuts since Ronald Reagan. [Applause]

Donald Trump

00:28:49 - 00:28:57 (8 sec)

We will eliminate every unnecessary job killing regulation which affects so many workers. [Applause]

Donald Trump

00:28:57 - 00:28:59 (2 sec)

We will defend our religious liberty. [Applause]

Donald Trump

00:28:59 - 00:29:18 (19 sec)

We will provide school choice to every low-income child in America and we are going to end Common Core, education is going to be brought locally. [Applause]

Donald Trump

00:29:18 - 00:29:21 (3 sec)

We will totally support the men and women of law enforcement. [Applause]

Donald Trump

00:29:21 - 00:29:34 (13 sec)

We talked about this last night at the debate, we will save the Second Amendment, which right now is under siege. [Applause]

Donald Trump

00:29:34 - 00:29:45 (11 sec)

And I will appoint justices to the United States Supreme Court who will uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States.[Applause]

Donald Trump

00:29:45 - 00:29:57 (12 sec)

You have 19 days to make every dream you ever dreamed, for your children, for your family, for your country, come true.

Donald Trump

00:29:57 - 00:30:00 (3 sec)

Thank you. God bless you. Thank you. [Applause]

Donald Trump

00:30:00 - 00:30:01 (1 sec)

Donald Trump

00:30:01 - 00:30:14 (13 sec)

Our campaign is powered by our love for this country and our love for our fellow citizens. And is there any better place to be than a Trump rally? [Applause]

Donald Trump

00:30:14 - 00:30:32 (18 sec)

Or any safer place too? It's a campaign about rejecting the cynicism and elitism of our failed political establishment, which is doing great harm to everybody, to us.

Donald Trump

00:30:32 - 00:30:54 (22 sec)

I am going to fight for every citizen of every background, from every stretch of this nation. I'm going to fight for every child living in poverty. I'm going to fight for every mom who lost her child to illegal immigration and drugs and gang violence.

Donald Trump

00:30:54 - 00:31:09 (15 sec)

I'm going to fight for every community whose jobs and factories have been ripped out of our states, like Ohio and Pennsylvania, and Florida, and so many others.

Donald Trump

00:31:09 - 00:31:37 (28 sec)

You take a look at New England, you take a look at what's happened. You take a look at New York State, upstate New York, and you see what's going on. We will never, ever, ever let that happen again. We're going to bring them back. I'm going to fight for every person in this country who believes government should serve the people, not the donors and the special interests. [Applause]

Donald Trump

00:31:37 - 00:31:55 (18 sec)

And I'm going to fight to bring us all together as Americans. Imagine what our country could accomplish if we started working together as one people, under one God, saluting one American flag. [Applause]

In 10 years, in 20 years, in 30 years, you're going to look back at this rally for the rest of your life. We've had a good time. But important things are happening. You're going to remember this day. This is a movement like nobody has seen in this country before. You're going to look back at this election and say, this is by far the most important vote that I've ever cast for anyone at any time.
