Donald Trump
00:00:00-00:00:41 (42 sec)No StressLens
Thank you. So nice, so nice. So good. Thank you very much. We had a very -- we had a very, I love you too. [Audience chants "USA"] U.S.A. U.S.A. U.S.A. So good -- so good. Thank you very much for being here. This is an amazing crowd. And we have thousands of people outside trying to get in. The fire marshal was very nice to us. We're stacked right into the corners.
Donald Trump
00:00:41-00:01:07 (25 sec)Strong (2.127)
7 of 178 paragraphs scored.So I thank the fire marshal but about two, 3,000 people, they're going home. That's bad. Does anybody want to give up their place to the people outside? Is there one person in this whole room raise your hand please? Now what? Ok. That's good. That means we want to be here right? So we have had an amazing period of time.
Donald Trump
00:01:07-00:01:36 (30 sec)Weak (1.077)
You know, I -- I started this whole journey on June 16th and from practically the time I began till now we've been a No. 1 position. Can you believe that? Amazing. And a couple of days ago CNN came out with the latest poll where we're 49 for Trump. Rubio is 16 but after last night's -- [Audience Boos] Little Marco, little Marco.
Donald Trump
00:01:36-00:02:06 (29 sec)No StressLens
You know that in Florida, they hate Little Marco Rubio so much, its true. Because of the fact that he never votes. He never shows up to vote. [Audience Boos] So what do you think? I mean actually if you use -- I'll use a phrase -- a word that he uses -- he has calmed the people of Florida into voting for him.
Donald Trump
00:02:06-00:02:26 (20 sec)No Signal (0.043)
And I'll tell you what? They are angry because he never shows. He is the worst voting record in all of Florida. He has the worst voting record in the United States Senate. And one of the worst voting records in the history of the United States Senate. I don't think he's going to do too well. They are angry at him he couldn't be elected dogcatcher.
Donald Trump
00:02:26-00:02:59 (33 sec)No StressLens
So -- so last night, he had a very, very bad night according to the various polls. He lost the debate badly and -- but he's at 16. So he's going to go down. So it's Trump at 49. Little -- Little Marco Rubio at 16. Cruz, lying Ted Cruz, lying Ted. You know it's amazing no matter what you say with Ted, he'll change it. He'll do whatever he has to do. You call up, "Oh I didn't know I did that." So it's Ted, remember what he did to Dr. Carson, to Ben Carson.
Donald Trump
00:02:59-00:03:16 (17 sec)No Signal (0.731)
He said, "Oh no. Oh no, no he's quit the race. He's out of the race. Vote for me. Vote for me. Thousands of him." So Carson was a good guy. So Cruz is at 15. And Casey is only at six. I don't know. Sounds like. And we just signed on to -- you know, Jeff Sessions just enjoy -- he's really one of the greats, one of the greats in terms of law and order in terms of border in terms of judicial.
Donald Trump
00:03:16-00:03:34 (18 sec)Weak (1.103)
But Jeff Sessions just came on and actually he's a very good friend of Cruz and Cruz could not believe that it had happened. But Senator Jeff Sessions, highly respected, great guy. And another one, in terms of the border, Sheriff Joe right? Sheriff Joe. So we're doing really well. And it's -- it's been amazing and we're going to talk about today trade.
Donald Trump
00:03:34-00:03:43 (10 sec)No Signal (0.731)
We're going to talk about borders. We're going to have a lot of fun. Even though it's -- you know it's fun. It's sort of interesting. We get to talk about cars. We're going to talk about -- we're going to talk about cars. [Audience chants "Build the wall"] Don't worry folks. We're going to be building the wall.
Donald Trump
00:03:43-00:03:58 (14 sec)Weak (1.186)
We're going to build the wall. Are you ready? And who is going to pay for the wall? [Audience calls out "Mexico"] Who? [Audience calls out "Mexico"] You better believe it. Did you see where the former president of Mexico, Vicente Fox? He said, "We will not pay for that F wall." Now, could you imagine if I said it and he said he threw out the F bomb.
Donald Trump
00:03:58-00:04:22 (24 sec)Strong (2.761)
3 of 178 paragraphs scored.And I'm just saying to myself, "If I said it, I probably wouldn't be here today." Right? This guy used the F bomb in a major interview with CNN or somebody. And I want to tell you that was shocking and a disgrace. And I think he should apologize to the people of Mexico and to the people of the United States.
Donald Trump
00:04:22-00:05:03 (41 sec)No StressLens
We are calling on him to apologize. And he said he will not pay for the wall. So we've come a long way. Because he actually said, "I will not." It's interesting when he says, I will not. Right. He doesn't say Mexico will not. He says -- I say, he thinks a lot of himself. But he said, "I will not, meaning Mexico will not pay for the F wall." And -- and I thought it was a horrible thing.
Donald Trump
00:05:03-00:05:22 (19 sec)No Signal (0.859)
And what's interesting is that. At least now he knows the wall is going up. He didn't say we're not going to allow a wall. In other words, we've come a long way. He now said, "He's not going to pay for the wall." Before he used to say, "We will not allow a wall." Now he says, "We will pay for the wall." He will pay for the wall, folks.
Donald Trump
00:05:22-00:05:55 (33 sec)Weak (1.443)
OK? He will pay for the wall. And you know what happened when the press called up and they told me about it. They said Well do you have a response. They said the wall just got 10 feet higher. You know that, 10 feet higher. We don't play games. We're not playing games. We're not playing games.
Donald Trump
00:05:55-00:06:13 (18 sec)No Signal (0.191)
We are not going to play games. There's no, no, no games with us. You know the thing that bothered me about ex-president Fox is the the arrogance. The -- the way, you know, it wasn't so much the wall. It wasn't that, "We're not going to pay." and they're not going to pay for the wall, what he said. It was he couldn't believe that the United States would actually be asking them for something.
Donald Trump
00:06:13-00:06:37 (24 sec)Weak (1.384)
The arrogance, he couldn't believe, how dare you ask us. The hatred and the arrogance of this guy because they used to getting their way a 100%. They're not going to get their way anymore folks. They're not are not getting their way anymore. They're not getting their way. And speaking of that, I'm not going to go through the whole thing with the escalator ride you've all heard.
Donald Trump
00:06:37-00:06:53 (16 sec)No Signal (0.115)
Let me tell you, I'm going to go right to the car business you mind? Because this car -- this is car country rapidly becoming not car country. But we're going to keep it car country, OK? So about a year and a half ago I heard that Ford, everybody works for Ford here? Good company, smart company but I heard that Ford is going to build a plant in Mexico.
Donald Trump
00:06:53-00:07:11 (18 sec)No Signal (0.286)
Two and a half billion dollars. That's -- [Audience Boos] And I have to tell you know, for a one story building that's got to be about the most expensive plant I've ever heard of. Is that a correct saving? You guys are in the car business. It has to be one of the most expensive. So they're going to build it in Mexico.
Donald Trump
00:07:11-00:07:36 (25 sec)Weak (1.42)
They're going to make cars, trucks and parts. And they're going to sell them all up but they're going to sell a lot of them right into the United States. Now -- now listen to this -- listen to this. Don't worry I'm with you folks. I'm with you. And -- and by the way, this is the reason I'm leading by a lot in Michigan because everyone knows all I talk about is cars.
Donald Trump
00:07:36-00:07:50 (14 sec)No Signal (0.593)
I have friends in other industries they say, "All you talk about is cars. Will you start talking about us." I said, "No, I like cars. I like cars." But when I do, I devote a lot of time because Mexico is becoming the car capital of the world. Whether you like it or not. [Audience Boos] True.
Donald Trump
00:07:50-00:08:10 (20 sec)No Signal (0.606)
And we're going to turn that around. You know, in Tennessee, a great state that I won by the way, by a tremendous -- You know, when I won, of course most of them of all fairness, so far I like it. But -- but when I win them I feel like a warm spot. Now, March 8th, Tuesday you got to do me one favor. You I'm self funding my campaign.
Donald Trump
00:08:10-00:08:38 (28 sec)Weak (1.242)
I'm self funding. You got to get out and vote. Because I promise you'll be very happy. Oh, you will be happy with me. You more than most. Michigan, I tell you what? Michigan more than most because what's happened to you people is disgraceful. And Michigan more than most. You got to get out. I'm going to say it again later.
Donald Trump
00:08:38-00:09:01 (23 sec)Weak (1.075)
But March 8th. Tuesday, Tuesday, Tuesday no matter what's happening, no matter what you're doing. If you get laid off on Tuesday, I still want you voting. I'll get you a new job. Don't worry about it. In a couple of years, you'll go home to your wife or you'll go home to your husband and say, "Darling, I have so many job opportunities I'm going absolutely crazy.
Donald Trump
00:09:01-00:09:25 (23 sec)No Signal (0.953)
I don't know what's happening." As opposed to now -- now you get laid off. You don't know what's happening. So we're going to -- we're going to take care of it. But Tuesday, you have to go out. You know -- so I'm self funding my campaign. I'm putting up my own money. So I'm not controlled by the unions, I'm not controlled by anything.
Donald Trump
00:09:25-00:09:42 (17 sec)No Signal (0.711)
I'm controlled only -- But -- You know what? You have a representative union. I have to say this. You have a representative union. Who -- who is in a union? OK. You like your unions? You like them? Oh oh, oh oh, I said, "You like your union? Nah." I don't know about that. Well anyway -- but you do love your industry, right?
Donald Trump
00:09:42-00:10:02 (21 sec)Medium (1.63)
The industries. All right. So I don't want your money but I do want your vote. So on Tuesday you go on. OK? Now, we're going to get this thing -- we're going to get this thing going. So Tennessee was going to get a massive car plant and it was going to be -- they're going to manufacture a tremendous plant.
Donald Trump
00:10:02-00:10:22 (19 sec)No Signal (0.299)
And look, we want it within the United States. OK? I mean, we want it in Michigan but we wanted it within the United States, as our second choice in this room, all right? We don't want to go into Mexico. We don't want him going to lots of other places. We want to stop the cars from Japan. If Japan wants to send -- you know I was in Los Angeles, folks.
Donald Trump
00:10:22-00:10:38 (16 sec)No Signal (0.719)
I have never seen more cars pour in. I have never seen larger ships. These ships are massive and they pull up and these cars just roll right off the ship. And I've never seen anything like it in my life. You know we got NASCAR the other day. NASCAR endorsed us. You have to say, "That's a hell of an endorsement." Right?
Donald Trump
00:10:38-00:11:06 (28 sec)No Signal (0.139)
That's like -- that's like getting the NFL. Ladies and gentlemen the NFL endorsed Donald Trump or ladies and gentlemen Major League Baseball endorsed Donald Trump. Think of it. Think of it. NASCAR endorsed us with many of their drivers. And Brian France, who's the head of NASCAR and an unbelievable guy, the great job he's done.
Donald Trump
00:11:06-00:11:31 (25 sec)No Signal (0.071)
And they just said, "There's a movement and the people that are NASCAR fans are Trump fans and there's a tremendous movement." But when I'm thinking about these ships. Are these ships pull into Los Angeles? Biggest I've ever seen. They pull into the Los Angeles docks and I stood there and I thought of NASCAR because those cars were coming off that ship so fast so many of them and they're saying, "How is that helping us really?
Donald Trump
00:11:31-00:11:57 (26 sec)Medium (1.81)
Right. I want those cars made in Michigan. I want those cars made here. Right? Right? And you know what? The Japanese can do it. The Japanese can do it but let them make them here. They have so many cars. You know they give us these little spots, OK. We'll build a little plant there. We'll build a little one there, will keep the Americans happy.
Donald Trump
00:11:57-00:12:22 (24 sec)No Signal (0.8)
We'll build one here. They have stupid leadership. Let's keep them happy. We'll build one here. But when you see those ships fall in, any one of -- any cars that you see that's peanuts compared to what we're doing. You have to see, these cars were coming off the ships at like 50 miles an hour. I've never seen anything like it. So folks, we want them to build the cars here.
Donald Trump
00:12:22-00:12:51 (29 sec)No Signal (0.296)
You know when China, ordered some Boeing's and China is a tremendous abuser of our country -- and I love China, they're great. Their leaders are too smart for our leaders it's very simple. OK. And I have the smartest businessmen in the world. We have the smartest business people in the world in this. And right now, what -- you know what you have right now, you have political hacks negotiating the biggest deals.
Donald Trump
00:12:51-00:13:17 (26 sec)No Signal (0.501)
You know, no matter what business deal you do, like I'm the big businessman. I -- I have tremendous business [Inaudible]. You know it's funny they keep talking about my little deals. They talk about water, which I still have. They talk about a magazine, which I still have. You know I have magazines, my clubs and they talk about little deals.
Donald Trump
00:13:17-00:13:42 (25 sec)No Signal (0.649)
They don't talk about the buildings that are 60, 70 stories all over the place. I'm building buildings all over. We're doing deals. Nobody talks about that. Why not? I mean, Forbes just came out and they said I'm worth four and a half for $5 billion and they have no idea. Actually they have no ideas much more than that but I won't tell them.
Donald Trump
00:13:42-00:14:08 (26 sec)No Signal (0.527)
But, they don't want to talk about the big deals, they don't want to talk about Trump World Tower. They don't want to talk about Trump Tower. They don't want to talk about 40 Wall Street. They don't want to talk about the Bank of America building in San Francisco. They don't want to talk about the city I built on the West Side of Manhattan.
Donald Trump
00:14:08-00:14:37 (29 sec)No Signal (0.616)
They don't want to talk about 1290 Avenue of the Americas. They only want to talk about, a steak. Oh yes, a little company -- a little tiny thing or Trump University which by the way I'll win that lawsuit so easy. I'll win that lawsuit sorry. And you know, it's sort of interesting with Trump University a small deal, but you know, a deal that they devoted a lot of time too.
Donald Trump
00:14:37-00:15:06 (29 sec)No Signal (0.082)
And frankly, everybody -- everybody -- Many of the people that took the courses, many many of the people had -- they signed report cards when they were completed and it got rave reviews. Everybody, good good good good. Then a law firm comes along says, "Listen if we sue so they form a closed -- a class-action if we sue, we'll get your money back." So let's say, you took the course and you liked it, and then somebody comes, "Hey, you liked your course?
Donald Trump
00:15:06-00:15:22 (16 sec)No Signal (0.244)
It's over, we'll get your money back" You'll say, "OK. OK." They all signed documents. I don't know even why? They all signed document we call them report cards saying, "It's wonderful. It's great." So when they come to settle, I said, "I'm not going to settle." And you know, the problem with settlers, when you settle, everybody sues you.
Donald Trump
00:15:22-00:15:39 (17 sec)No Signal (0.617)
I watch these banks -- you ever notice the banks they get sued -- they get sued over and over again. They have executives at the banks, which is ridiculous, they're being paid $50 million a year, some of these guys and they always settle. And I say to them, "You're getting paid all this money. Why don't you fight the case?" Well, it's the government.
Donald Trump
00:15:39-00:15:55 (17 sec)No Signal (0.227)
I said, "You should fight the case. You should fight it right to the end and you make maybe a settlement down the end." But the problem is, when you settle cases, everybody keeps suing you. Does it make sense? [Audience calls out "Yes"] When they have to go through a case, it takes years and years, like this case have been going on for four or five years.
Donald Trump
00:15:55-00:16:11 (15 sec)No Signal (0.184)
When they have to go through the pain, of really going through a case and really fight. I don't get sued very often. The reason I don't is they say, "Oh, Trump will never settle." They'd like to go to the settlements. They sue him. Two days later, they have a lawsuit settled. They put a lot of money in their pockets, the lawyers sort of way.
Donald Trump
00:16:11-00:16:27 (16 sec)No Signal (0.12)
So Trump University I'm going to win that case. It's a civil case, not a big deal. I look forward to going to trial. I'm going to win that case but they don't talk about all of these massive buildings that they have. They don't talk about the city I built on the West Side of Manhattan which was a tremendous success.
Donald Trump
00:16:27-00:16:48 (21 sec)No Signal (0.686)
They don't talk about all of the deals we're doing all over the country and all over the world, actually. You know, Turnberry in Scotland etc. They don't talk about Doral, where right now we have the World Golf Championships. You saw that the Cadillac World Golf Championship. Sponsored by Cadillac. So right now -- and I'm supposed to be there and I'm here with you.
Donald Trump
00:16:48-00:17:27 (39 sec)No StressLens
I'm supposed to be there. I am right now. I had it marked for two years, I have right now. So we have the Cadillac World Golf Championships, Rory McIlroy, everybody said, right? Phil -- Phil's doing well by the way, Phil Mickelson. He's doing great, 2nd place. So I'm supposed to be in Miami at my place. Watching these great golfers play golf and here I am in Michigan and I love it. OK? I am. I love it. So -- so we're going to talk about -- because one thing is guy Romney came out yesterday.
Donald Trump
00:17:27-00:17:50 (23 sec)Weak (1.21)
[Audience Boos] I mean, the hatred he has, the hatred, the jealousy, the hatred, the -- It's hard to believe. Now look, let me just say, "No, no." You guys should like him, right? I mean you should like him but, no. [Audience Boos] Remember the 47%? Remember when he made the statement 47% and in one speech he lost.
Donald Trump
00:17:50-00:18:14 (25 sec)No Signal (0.193)
Thank you. In one speech, he lost 47% of the voters. Can you believe it? He's not a smart guy. This is -- this is not a smart guy. But anyway, so he came out yesterday and the reason he doesn't like me is that I said, "You shouldn't run because you're a choke artist." You ran -- You ran against -- You ran against Obama four years ago.
Donald Trump
00:18:14-00:18:36 (21 sec)No Signal (0.784)
It was a race that should have been an easy win. He made a fool of himself in the second and third debate. I don't know what happened to him. Honestly, I don't know what happened to him. He didn't campaign. He didn't campaign. What the hell did happen? Does anyone know? He what ? He was he didn't campaign.
Donald Trump
00:18:36-00:18:48 (12 sec)No Signal (0.365)
And you know, the sad part is, I really helped the guy. I mean, I gave him a lot of money. I raised a lot of money. I had two fundraisers in my apartment. In fact, one of them was such a rainy day that it ruined the Conference of my apartment. Everyone's coming in and I had hundreds of people. My carpets were ruined.
Donald Trump
00:18:48-00:19:08 (20 sec)Medium (1.92)
I think I'm going to send him a bill for new carpet. But here's a disloyal guy. See he's -- he's an elitist. I don't -- see to me, I don't consider Malik, but you know. Hey, I don't consider Malik because I'm much richer than he is. He's worth -- you know I have a store. I have a store that's worth more money than him.
Donald Trump
00:19:08-00:19:29 (21 sec)No Signal (0.735)
Was a very into it . I -- I jokingly said that because I don't like Romney. I don't like him. He thinks he's hot stuff and he thinks he's -- I hate people that think they're hot stuff and they're nothing. OK nothing. But I was in -- I was in Iowa. I was in Iowa and we -- I -- I love Iowa. And by the way, do I love New Hampshire?
Donald Trump
00:19:29-00:19:48 (19 sec)No Signal (0.589)
Do I love South Carolina? And do I love Nevada? And do I love the last -- as you saw the SCC, we had the big night by far. Everyone's saying, "Landslide for Trump" And now on Tuesday -- and by the way, over the weekend we're going to do really well with Maine and lots of other places and I think that's gonna be great and then Tuesday comes.
Donald Trump
00:19:48-00:20:09 (21 sec)Weak (1.222)
But what happens is with -- with Mitt, when you run, when people entrust you. When people entrust you. You people are entrusting somebody to carry the banner because you don't want to have Hillary. Hillary will be a disaster. [Audience Boos] So -- so when -- when they entrust you, when you know, you're given the trust of billions of people to go out, you've got to work hard.
Donald Trump
00:20:09-00:20:18 (9 sec)No Signal (0.88)
You got a what . And if you don't win that's OK. But Romney didn't work hard. Romney disappeared the final month and say what you want about Obama. He was on Jay Leno. He was on David Letterman, he was all over the place. And I used to say to the people, "Where is Romney? What happened to Romney?" Oh, is that a problem?
Donald Trump
00:20:18-00:20:30 (12 sec)No Signal (0.451)
I get the hell out of here, folks. Get him out. Out. Get him out. [Audience chants "USA"] All right. Let's go. Get him out of here. You know, you'll never know. If I say it too rough -- Look at all the media back there. Look. Oh, look the cameras are turned. I love it. They turn the cameras.
Donald Trump
00:20:30-00:21:05 (35 sec)Strong (2.937)
1 of 178 paragraphs scored.Oh, that's beautiful. That's so beautiful. By the way, I have to tell you about the media. They are the most dishonest people. They're worse than Rubio. And they're worse -- they're worse than Cruz. They are worse than Little Marco and they're worse than lying Ted Cruz. I'm telling you. Lying Ted, lying Ted.
Donald Trump
00:21:05-00:21:31 (26 sec)Weak (1.254)
What's your name? My name's lying Ted Cruz. I lie about anything. You know this guy, I've got to tell you. He goes and he holds up the Bible. And then he lies. So most unbelievable thing I've ever seen. It's a little, it's an unbelievable haul . He holds up the Bible -- and here's the story, in South Carolina, that was supposed to be an easy victory for Cruz.
Donald Trump
00:21:31-00:21:49 (18 sec)Strong (2.242)
6 of 178 paragraphs scored.I guess 67% -- percent are evangelical, right. Sixty seven percent evangelical. I won in a landslide and I won or -- I won the evangelicals by a lot. Now we have Jerry Falwell junior from Liberty University who sees everybody because they all come through Liberty University. Everybody goes there makes his speech and spends time with them.
Donald Trump
00:21:49-00:22:05 (16 sec)No Signal (0.158)
And Jerry Falwell junior endorsed me. I think it was a big endorsement. I will tell you, I think it was a really big and we have many, many, many ministers and -- and pastors that endorsed me. But I win with the evangelicals because you know what? The evangelicals they probably know I'm not perfect but they know I'm the best for security.
Donald Trump
00:22:05-00:22:24 (19 sec)No Signal (0.949)
I'm the best for the military. I'm the best for taking care of the vets. I'm the best for knocking the hell out of ISIS. And these other guys, they don't -- believe me, they don't have a clue. They talk. Their politicians, all-talk-no-action. So anyway, so just to finish off, so Romney's a bitter man.
Donald Trump
00:22:24-00:22:39 (15 sec)No Signal (0.615)
He looks like a bitter man. He's attacking really your front runner by a lot. And he wanted to run. And he was going to run. And I put up with it long enough and I said, "Look you can't let him run. He's a joke artist." He joked the last time. And you know, if you ever see in sports -- now unfortunately, some of you may be joke artist.
Donald Trump

Give me a break, you know. [Audience Boos] Right? We don't want to be too politically correct anymore. Right, folks? So anyway. You know, it's very unfair. You know, they're allowed to swing and punch the hell out of people. But if we get a little bit rough in taking them out, oh, we're terrible people.
Donald Trump

You know, that's the way it is. It's one of the many reasons our country's going to hell. All right. So Ford wants to open a plant -- so two years ago, they announced they're going to open this massive plant in -- in Mexico. And I'm saying to myself, "Hey, I was a very good student. I went to the best school, Wharton.
Donald Trump
00:46:45-00:47:02 (17 sec)No StressLens
You don't have to go to work and you don't have to go to a good school. You don't have to go to school." It's not going to do us any good. OK? It's not. All I know, is they're closing, as you say, at least two plants. These men works for Ford. But they closed plants somewhere in the United States. Plants are closing because this thing is massive.
Donald Trump
00:47:02-00:47:23 (21 sec)Weak (1.092)
So they're going to make cars, trucks and ports. OK? So I'm saying to myself, "Boy, that's a big deal." Now in the meantime, Carrier just announced they're going down to Mexico, you saw that. They just announced it. [Audience Boos] Divisions of United Technologies are now moving into Mexico. Nabisco from Chicago -- No more Oreos, folks.
Donald Trump
00:47:23-00:47:42 (19 sec)No Signal (0.238)
No more. Nabisco is closing their big plant in Chicago. They're moving to Mexico. We better be careful. We better be careful. We're losing our businesses, folks. Pfizer you know, is moving out of the United States. A big massive pharmacy. They're moving to Ireland. They're moving to Ireland. We better be careful.
Donald Trump
00:47:42-00:48:09 (27 sec)No Signal (0.094)
You know this corporate inversion is really a big problem. But Pfizer is moving and we -- we have a lot of company. That -- that will all change if I'm president because I know how to do it. OK. So here's what happens. So here's what happens and I put myself in the position. If a guy like Little Marco becomes president -- which I think is unlikely.
Donald Trump
00:48:09-00:48:32 (23 sec)No Signal (0.251)
I think it's unlikely. [Audience Boos] Look, when you are rated at 31% likability in your own state because he's terrible. You're going to have a hard time being president. But whether it's little Marco or lying Ted. One of the other let's say -- because you know we are down to four people. And the people are going against Hillary and she is not going to be tough to beat.
Donald Trump
00:48:32-00:48:51 (18 sec)No Signal (0.176)
She is so flawed. She's got such problems. And I -- and I do believe this. I do believe that, if the government does the right thing -- and I'm a big fan and a big believer in the FBI. If the government does the right thing under no circumstances will she be allowed to run. Even though, I most want to run against her.
Donald Trump
00:48:51-00:49:12 (22 sec)No Signal (0.41)
I most want to. So what happens -- What happens is, if you have one of these people or Hillary as president, what will happen is the following: No. 1 they're totally controlled by the special interests and their donors and their lobbyists, 100%. So -- and these are not stupid people. So they will look at it and they'll say, "Oh, this is ridiculous.
Donald Trump
00:49:12-00:49:32 (19 sec)Weak (1.186)
This is bad for the country." Then Ford will send its lobbyist up to see the president. And Ford will have raised many millions of dollars for him or her. And will send other people up special interest, donors, stockholders to see the president. Just say you can't do this. I gave you $5 million. You can't do this.
Donald Trump

I gave you a PAC -- these super PACs are a disaster, by the way. Just say you know. I don't have any super PACs. I'm the only one doesn't have a super PAC. I feel. I'm not so happy. I just wonder, Is it worth it? You know, I don't know if it's appreciated. I'm the only one. I don't have super PACs, I don't have money, I don't have people.

Going out buying. I don't have to put it. I -- I just wonder, I'm spending a fortune. OK? Even though I spend less than anybody else -- and I'm in first place. I'm here, there. But still, it's a lot of money. And I wonder, do I get credit for not having super PACs? And do I get credit? Do I get credit? Because you know, I have friends that call me -- I had one friend from Michigan just called me -- actually, good guy.
Donald Trump
00:50:26-00:50:56 (30 sec)Weak (1.117)
Rich guy, said, "Donald, I want to give you $5 million." I said, "I can't take it." "No, no, no, you don't understand. I want to give it to you." I said, "I can't take it. I'm not taking money." Other than the little donations from people that send in $200 and a hundred and fifty and $17. Because frankly, those are people that really believe.
Donald Trump
00:50:56-00:51:19 (23 sec)No Signal (0.565)
And those are people that invest. OK? And -- and it doesn't matter to a whole lot. And -- and how do you send it back to him? A woman sends me a check for $17.50 with a four-page note. What do I do say, "Sorry I'm not taking your money." You know. So it's one of those things. You read the letter.
Donald Trump
00:51:19-00:51:41 (22 sec)Weak (1.145)
You sit down all night and read those long letters. We get the longest letters from people because they -- they want hope. And usually, the less the money, the longer the letter. It's really an interesting phenomena. So anyway, so I'm not taking the money. I'm not taking the money. And I say -- I say to myself, "I really." -- and I really believe this.
Donald Trump
00:51:41-00:51:58 (17 sec)No Signal (0.476)
I -- I know when you go into the booth you might like Trump, you might like somebody else. But nobody says, "Well, I -- I sort of like Trump. And I like the other guy too, but I'm going to vote for the other guy." I know, that I don't get credit for the fact that I'm the only one that's not bought and paid for, folks.
Donald Trump
00:51:58-00:52:17 (18 sec)No Signal (0.679)
So big thing. It's a big. And -- and you know it's hard for me because you know, my whole life has been about taking money, right? Taking money. I take, take, take, take. I'm a businessman. That's what I'm supposed to do. My job is to take money. My job is in a sense, I hate to say it, to be greedy and I'm greedy.

I go like, this more, more. I want more, more, more. Now, I'm going to be greedy for the United States. I'm going to be really greedy for the United States. So with Ford, so Ford is going to open the plant. Now, when Hillary or -- or Ted or any of these people, they become president. They're all taken care of. They're all bought.
Donald Trump
00:52:40-00:52:57 (17 sec)No Signal (0.476)
They're all 100% bought. So they know what's right. It's a bad thing. But they'll be told, "You can't do it. This guy gave you 10 million. This guy gave you five million. And you know what? I understand, that psychologically they can't do it. Well, how can I do that? They helped me when I needed money. How can I say, "You've got to move back." OK. So here's what I'm doing.
Donald Trump
00:52:57-00:53:11 (15 sec)No Signal (0.216)
When a company wants to move, I'm going to have the top people talk to them. And I will -- I know they're going to say, "It's not presidential." You know, they're always saying, they said the other night, when I wanted and when I had the big victory in the Super -- you saw that. The SEC. the big big night.

We won -- we won seven -- seven states. And then we came in second. I mean second is like a bad, bad thing. I mean, we -- we won. We won so much. I mean we won. It was so -- you know, sort of semi record-setting, I guess. But anyway, so we had this great night. But -- but here's the story, so what happens is I'm going to say the following.
Donald Trump
00:53:36-00:53:54 (18 sec)No Signal (0.037)
I'm going to say: No. 1 I'm going to call. They thought I was very presidential, that night. They thought I was so -- they said, "Why -- " No the press. They said -- I got great reviews. I made a speech afterwards. I had a news conference. I took questions. And they said -- during that night, where we won seven states.

00:53:54-00:54:13 (19 sec)No Signal (0.589)
They said -- I was at Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida. And they said, "He was so presidential." Well, when I'm on a debate stage and I have all these people throwing things at me, you got to fight back. Somebody said -- somebody said, "Donald, you're the leader. The prohibitive favorite. Just stand there and take it." I can't do that.
Donald Trump
00:54:13-00:54:35 (22 sec)Weak (1.38)
Right? I can't. They actually said, "Be presidential." I said, "Does that mean, that I can't fight?" So when little Marco spews his crap about the size of my hands which are big. The size of my head. [Audience Boos] Now he made a thing. He says, "Well, Donald Trump has a -- let's see. What can I say? What can I say?" So I looked at him.
Donald Trump
00:54:35-00:55:03 (28 sec)Weak (1.254)
I said, "Marco." [Laughter] No, I just wanted to set -- look at that -- that those hands can hit a golf ball 285 yards. Right? Those are good strong. I've never been criticized about the size of my hands before. I'm saying to myself, "What the -- what's going on here?" So anyway, so I have to -- So what do I do? For the rest of my life, I have the curse that I have little hands.
Donald Trump
00:55:03-00:55:28 (24 sec)No Signal (0.842)
Little hands. Take that guy. So -- so I said to my people, "So what do I do? Do I stand back and just take incoming and act presidential." So now, I'm for -- Donald Trump is a con man. Donald Trump is this. And I've seen like that. You know what would happen? You know how many people I'd have in this room if I did that?

I'd have about seven. I'd have seven. And they would be mostly the protesters that were thrown out. [Inaudible]. Now, we can't take it. That's the problem with our country. Our country takes abuse from everybody. We don't do anything about it. When Vicente Fox gets angry because we are actually, telling him that, we're going to have a wall and we're going to build a wall and he's going to pay for it.

But the Ford plant bugged me because it was so damn big. OK? And because it's the car industry. So what happened is this. So what happened is this. They will not do anything and I think we agree.

I'll be so presidential, that you people will be screaming, "Loosen up President. Loosen up." They'll be saying, "You know, I wish the president would loosen up a little bit." All right. OK.

Within 24 to 48 hours, I will get a call from the head of Ford and he will say, "Mr. President, we have decided that we will build our new plant in the United States." Now, that's not 90% sure.
