Donald Trump

00:00:00 - 00:00:24 (24 sec)

Thank you so much, boy, oh boy, I didn't expect that. You know, Joel and the group called and they said, would you come over and speak. I'm here for a certain reason, you know, it's called tomorrow night. [Applause] So I got here and they asked a couple of days ago, would it be possible to come over and say a few words, an endorsement from your group, with so many veterans, hundreds of thousands of veterans.

Donald Trump

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

I really appreciate that, Joel. I did not expect it. [Applause] I didn't expect it, I didn't ask for it. I will say this, I am with the veterans 100%.

Donald Trump

00:00:35 - 00:01:08 (33 sec)

They're our greatest people, they're being treated terribly. The -- not only the number of deaths which are obviously, that's tantamount that's what -- what's going on is incredible. But as of two weeks ago, on Wednesday, the vets had the longest wait in the history of the Veterans Administration. You go in and see a doctor, you wait for days, for days and it's not gonna happen, not gonna happen.

Donald Trump

00:01:08 - 00:01:50 (43 sec)

If I win, believe me, it's not going to happen and one of the things I thought I'd do, and I'd stress so strongly, the Veterans Hospitals, obviously, they have problems, they're not properly run, and when you have to wait long hours and long days. And then in some cases have the doctors say I'm, sorry, I'm going on vacation, believe me, it doesn't get much worse than that. So we're going to create a whole new system we're going to take this system apart. And if they're not doing the job, the veterans are going to go to private doctors, private hospitals, public hospital and we're going to reimburse those doctors.

Donald Trump

00:01:50 - 00:02:20 (30 sec)

And those hospitals and you're going to get the greatest service of any veterans in any country because you deserve it. [Applause] And that's going to be that's gonna be broken down into something that's going to be very special. Right now, and you know it, we have illegal immigrants that are treated better by far than our veterans, it's not going to happen anymore, it's not gonna happen. So Joel, I just really appreciate it.

Donald Trump

00:02:20 - 00:02:34 (14 sec)

So unexpected to be here as an honor. They don't build ships like this anymore, folks, you know. We don't do them this way anymore. I actually said what about recommissioning, look at this thing, the largest guns in the world, most powerful guns.

Donald Trump

00:02:34 - 00:02:51 (17 sec)

I learned a lot about the Iowa, by the way, Iowa is a great place for a lot of reasons. You know, we have been treated so well in the State of Iowa it's been incredible. Number one on the polls and we love those people, they're great. So, this is a great ship [Audience member calls out "Hawkeye""]"

Donald Trump

00:02:51 - 00:03:24 (33 sec)

Hawkeye, he goes. This is a great ship and that's a great state. I just want to say, that we're going to come out with some plans in a very short time, we're gonna be building up our military, we're gonna make our military so big and so strong and so great [Applause] and it will be so powerful that I don't think we're ever going to have to use it. Nobody's gonna mess with us, that I can tell you.

Donald Trump

00:03:24 - 00:04:03 (39 sec)

And we're going to have a president who's respected by Putin, who's respected by Iran, you know, let's talk about for two seconds, let's talk about the Iran deal. Now, Obama, Obama, and his people call him the supreme leader of Iran. Obama talks about the supreme leader. Well, I'm not calling him a supreme leader, but he said the other day that after this ripoff deal is completed, he will never touch -- do business with the United States again.

Donald Trump

00:04:03 - 00:04:56 (52 sec)

We're finished with the United States, they're taken $150 billion, they're getting a deal that's going to need -- it's going to go right into nuclear weapons, much sooner than you think, they're gonna self-police, think of that one, they are going to go, and self-police, they got the 24, they have 24-day provisions, and by the way, what people don't understand the 24-day provision doesn't start, you know this right, it doesn't start for a long time before you get to it. That clock is ticking, it could take forever, we may never get in there. It is one of the dumbest deals and one of the weakest contracts I've ever seen of any kind [Applause]. So we are gonna do things in this country, right.

Donald Trump

00:04:56 - 00:05:29 (33 sec)

We're not going to sign deals where we have four prisoners over there and they're still there and we don't even ask them one of them's there because he's a Christian, we have a writer, we have -- the whole thing is absolutely insane. You know, they ask the president and they asked Secretary of State, Kerry, who may be, you know I've been saying, Hillary Clinton, is the worst Secretary of State in the history of this country, right? All right. I've been saying it. But it's possible, the world blew up around her.

Donald Trump

00:05:29 - 00:06:09 (40 sec)

It blew up, just blew up the whole world it's like a different place it's possible that because of this deal made by Secretary Kerry, who has absolutely no clue how to negotiate, it may be that he's going to supersede and I understand that he may want to run for president, he has no chance like she has no chance, so we're gonna see what happens. [Applause] We have many problems in our country. One of them is immigration. Now I took a tremendous hit when I brought up illegal immigration when announced I was running for president.

Donald Trump

00:06:09 - 00:07:02 (53 sec)

And for two weeks I said, you know, Rush Limbaugh is a great guy, he said, he has suffered more incoming, meaning the press than anybody I've seen. So what happened is you have now found out what illegal immigration is all about, and I am so happy that I'm the one that brought it to the fore because believe me it's a big problem, it is a big problem. So you remember for about two weeks, I said, boy, this is tougher than I thought running for president. And then you found out this tremendous crime, there's tremendous drugs pouring across the border, tremendous beyond going to Chicago, going to New York, going to LA going all over our country, so the drugs pour in and the money pours out, not a good deal.

Donald Trump

00:07:02 - 00:07:26 (24 sec)

We get the drugs, they get the money, the drug cartels are going wild. They cannot believe how stupid our government is. They are making a fortune. The drugs come in, the money goes out daily and I saw it because I was on the border, I was there and we saw it and everybody sees it every day and we have the kind of people that can do something about it, but we have no leadership.

Donald Trump

00:07:26 - 00:08:15 (49 sec)

None, none whatsoever. So we're, gonna build a wall [Applause] and Mexico's gonna pay for the wall, believe me, you know, a lot of politicians that said, oh, they're, not gonna pay, he don't know anything about. They never read The Art of the Deal. First of all, so here's a start, so here's the story I said the other day to one of my people, what is the United States trade deficit with Mexico, Japan, and China? So let's start with China, almost $400 billion a year.

Donald Trump

00:08:15 - 00:08:57 (42 sec)

Now if you have a company where you're losing $400 billion, you got to do something very fast. We don't -- we've been losing hundreds of billions of dollars a year, frankly for decades, not gonna happen anymore, not gonna happen anymore. With Japan, where their massive ships float right here and they drop-off their cars, right? They drop off thousands and thousands and thousands of cars, millions of cars and we sell them beef, we sell them beef and they don't want it because their farmers don't want our beef, they protest and they send it back, all right. It's not gonna happen that way anymore.

Donald Trump

00:08:57 - 00:09:26 (29 sec)

Now with Mexico, and I love Mexico, I have many, many people, many, many people from Mexico that work with me and they work for me and they buy my apartments. Same with China. I have so many people, they pay me millions and millions, what am I supposed to hate China, because they gave me millions of dollars to buy an apartment, I don't think so. I have the largest bank in the world as at tenant, it's from China, bigger than any bank in this country by many times, they're from China.

Donald Trump

00:09:26 - 00:09:45 (20 sec)

The problem we have is that the leaders of Mexico, Japan, China and every other country that we do business with, they're smarter, more cunning sharper than our leaders. I love free trade. The concept is great, but you need smart people. I have the smartest people in this country lined up.

Donald Trump

00:09:45 - 00:10:19 (33 sec)

I know the smartest, I have Carl Icahn, I have the best business leaders and they all want to do it they're wealthy because they make good deals like me. I make good deals that you know it's a talent, it's a talent, you can't be a politician, look I'm -- I'm, fighting some very nice people, very nice, even though I'm leading in the polls. But they're very nice people, but they're never going to do anything with these countries. They're never going to be able to do it.

Donald Trump

00:10:19 - 00:10:30 (12 sec)

It's an instinct, it's something that's special. They don't have it. Believe me, they don't have it it's just going to be more of the same. So we're going to make our country so great.

Donald Trump

00:10:30 - 00:11:00 (30 sec)

We are going to make it strong. We are going to make it powerful we're going to rebuild the military we're going to make it. So strong, we are going to take care of our veterans. [Applause] And in the end, in the end, I want you people to look around and look at each other because this is going to be a special day.

Donald Trump

00:11:00 - 00:11:45 (44 sec)

The other week, two weeks ago, in Mobile Alabama, 31,000 people showed up in a rainy rough day, 31,000 people came to see us speak and we're talking about making America great again. Last night in Dallas, at the American Airlines Center, 20,000 people, the basketball arena of the Mavericks [Applause] 20,000 people showed up. And I want to tell you, it was a love fest, everybody that wasn't -- think of it 20,000 people there, wasn't one heckler in the whole room. I kept saying there's got to be one.

Donald Trump

00:11:45 - 00:12:06 (21 sec)

There was a word, two words that used to be used a lot called, silent majority. They stopped using them. The silent majority, believed me, is back, and I think -- [Applause] and I think we can use it somewhat differently. I don't think we have to call it a silent majority anymore because they're not silent.

Donald Trump

00:12:06 - 00:13:05 (59 sec)

People are not silent, they're disgusted with our incompetent politicians they're disgusted with the people that are giving our country away, they're disgusted when they tell the Border Patrol agents who are good people and can do the job, they're disgusted when they are allowed to people just walk right in front of them and they're standing there helpless and people just pour into the country, they're disgusted when a woman who's nine months pregnant walks across the border has a baby and you have to take care of that baby for the next 85 years. They're disgusted by what's happening to our country and you're gonna look around you're gonna, remember who the people are that are here because we're doing something special. This is a movement we're going to make our country great again, believe me, we will make our country great again. I love you all.

Donald Trump

00:13:05 - 00:13:21 (16 sec)

Thank you very much. I love you. Thank you. Thank you. [Applause]

Donald Trump

00:13:21 - 00:13:37 (17 sec)

This is the hottest thing out there. This hat you can't get them.
