and hillary wins, more people will come to the polls in the history of the country. it will set a record. [cheers & applause] like, if you think of it, just like the 24 million and 23 million people set the record. it just came out, the cnbc. and they say the people that come are going to vote for trump. they said that. check it out. i will tell you the other thing, it's got to be tough at the border. some of the hispanics won't like it. but they love me. the ones that are here, thank you. hispanic, where did i see that sign? i saw a great sign. "adios, amigos. make america great again." i am telling you. i am telling you, the african-american vote. a poll came out. trump gets 25% of the african-american vote. for a republican, that is unheard of. one of these commentators is devastated because a republican would normally get 5%? what you think, steve? like, 5% or 6%. i have a poll. i don't think these pastors are going to be standing up with too many other candidates. do you agree with that, steve? i don't think so. 25% of the african americans want trump. and one of these commentators -- by the way, they hate that i am winning. they have such a hard time with the polls. one just came out, quinnipiac. i'm killing everybody. i will tell you, cruz and rubio are in second place. they are sort of tide. tied. they said, "rubio and cruz are doing great." i said, what about me? i went up as much as they did or more. it is harder when you are high. i'm beating them by a lot. they didn't even mention my name. until you got to the person -- "while trump is winning, the others are doing nicely." it is unbelievable. we are driving the media nuts. we are driving them nuts. they don't know how to handle it, and they are very dishonest. many of them. i only say 70%. 70% are dishonest. what is going to happen, and what did happen, so they mention the 25%. one talking head said, "you know, if trump gets 25% of the african-american vote, this election is over. he wins. it is over." you know that. it is true. and why wouldn't i? think of it -- obama, what has he done? think of this, and then we are going to take questions. think of it. obama, your african-american youth, 51% unemployment. guys our age, they have and unemployment that is double and triple what the other people have done. what the hell has he done for the african americans? i don't think he cares about them. i think he has done nothing. it is all talk, it is all words. he is in unbelievable divider. i thought he would be a great cheerleader for the country. that is one thing i thought. i said, he will unify the country, and he has really divided the country. we are going to unify the country. we are going to do amazing -- we are going to set records with the african-american vote. for stephen to calm ucome up here, that was such an honor for me tonight. such an honor. and we appreciate it. all of the things i said are true. just to finish before we do some questions, if you were with me two weeks ago, i was much different. i was talking about china all the time. i was talking about trade. all the bad deals, companies are leaving, which is true. they are moving to ireland and other places. we have $2.5 trillion offshore, and we cannot begin to act because the tax laws are so bad. by the way, my tax plan, we are cutting middle income families to the lowest level they have been in years. we have been destroying our middle class which built this country. i'm cutting companies' taxes and corporation taxes and small business taxes. they are the highest they have been. right now, we are the number one taxed nation in the world. i am bringing it back to, not exactly the lowest. but i am bringing it down to one of the least-taxed nations in the world. the middle class will be taken care of. we are seriously simplifying the code so you don't have to spend your money at h&r block and spend a lot of the money that you are making doing this complicated code. we are going to do some things that are going to be amazing. we are going to have a dynamic economy. this country is going to be rocking and rolling, and it is going to be something special. this country is going to be something much more special. it is already special, but it is going to be much more special. it is already great, but we are talking about really great. remember this. we have a great country. we have a wonderful country. we love our country. it is at the tipping point. it is not going to be there for us much longer. it is not going to be great much longer. it is in big, big trouble. we are not going to let that happen. all right? let's now take some questions. give me some good ones. come on. you have a question? these people did such a good job. they had so many votes. we needed, like, 5000 signatures. how many? 16,000. the people at registration said we have never seen anything like this. with the kind of people i deal with, if they find mistakes, if you have5,000, they are going to have to find many mistakes. thank you very much. do you have a question? do you want to make a statement? >> i wanted to let you know, mr. trump, that the citizens of virginia and the hispanic community that i represent love you, respect you, and are going to vote and support you. [cheers & applause] mr. trump: thank you. thank you. thank you. thank you very much. so nice. let's go. have a question. go ahead. wherever you want. a young man, come on. a young guy. >> you are going to build the wall, what is it going to be made out of? mr. trump: that is a good question. lived him up here. bring him up here. come on. so cute. come on up. come here. this is such a great question. ready? are you ready? >> what are the walls going to be made out of? hello. mr. trump: go ahead. >> what are the walls going to be made out of? [cheers & applause] mr. trump: that might be the best question i get tonight. i tell you what it will be made of -- it is going to be made of hardened concrete and rebar and steel. that is what i do. you ever see parking plank? they set plank, and he goes 90 feet long -- do you know how long 90 feet -- if you are 90 feet up, you want to come down gently. did you ever see the walls they build now, they are this high, and they drive trucks over them. they build a ramp and drive trucks over them. there will not be any trucks driving. it is going to be made out of concrete and rebar steel. we are going to set them in nice, heavy foundations. one of the reasons the wall was not built, and this is hard to believe but true. was i right about new jersey? there is another one -- i took such heat. all of a sudden over the last , couple of days, reports coming out, trump is right. i get hundreds of calls, and now even some of the mainstreamers have been saying it. so i am very proud. how many people would have taken that abuse without saying, i am sorry? i am right. there is a lot of hatred going on. we need vigilance. we need vigilance. we can't let this happen. they cannot blow up our buildings. they cannot cut off our people's heads. they cannot do it. or other people's heads. but they cannot do it. let's have a question. go ahead. >> thank you, mr. trump. we love your tone. mr. trump: tone, tone. >> that is right. in 1992, when ross perot ran, he said, "should lightning strike and i get elected, we are not going to wait a hundred days to start doing something. we are going to do something day one." what are you going to do? mr. trump: ross perot, i have a lot of respect for him, but he made a big mistake. he quit. a week later or whatever, he said, i made a mistake. when he went back, it was over. he had a certain style. i studied it closely. number one, it is better to run as a republican, i will tell you that, and i want to run as a republican and i am leading by so much. the question was asked before, "would you ever run as an independent?" i want to run and win as a republican. we are there. we are this close. we are going to probably run against a woman who cannot win. her whole life has been corrupt. she is not going to win. so in the first 100 days, we are going to knock the hell out of obamacare. you know, the great thing about executive orders, i don't have to go back to congress. i just sit down, and i will be unsigning, maybe not all, maybe there are a couple of good ones. i don't know. i doubt it. we are going to be unsigning a lot of executive orders. especially his order that lets anybody that wants to pour into the country. that is going to end. we are going to start working on social security and medicare so we make it strong. we are going to bring back great things into this country. you are going to be so proud of me. he has that trump shirt on. you are going to be so proud of me. thank you for the question. i appreciate it. you will be very happy. go ahead, ma'am. >> mr. trump, can you talk about israel and your relationship with that country? mr. trump: sure. i love israel. israel is our strong supporter if you look at what is going on. what, and i will say it here, my people say oh, do not, but very soon, i'm going to israel. i will be meeting with bibi netanyahu. the asked me to make a commercial during his election run. i made a commercial. meaning i said nice things about him. he is a good man, he has worked there he hard. he has absolutely no support from president obama. absolutely none. so i will tell you i am very pro-israel. question, how about the young man in the green shirt? go ahead. young, strong guy. go ahead. >> thank you, sir. as a veteran and small business owner, you have my vote. mr. trump: you are a veteran? the guy looks like he is 20 years old. wow. but you are in good shape? >> yes, sir. mr. trump did you have any : problems or difficulties? good. you are healthy. we have plenty of healthy vets. i do not want to mess around. >> my question is, what are your plans for the v.a.? what are your plans for turning that around? mr. trump: i put on a big plan on the vets, and people love it. as you know, about three months ago, on a wednesday, they announced that in the history of the veterans administration, which is very corrupt. you have some great doctors there, by the way. i am going to give the good and the bad, but you have administrators who are a disgrace. the waiting times and problems. people are waiting five days, six days in a waiting room to get in. you saw that three months ago. the longest wait in the history of the v.a. that is over. i put in a plan that is more complex. but basically, we have doctors who are not doing well because of obamacare. i have a friend who's a doctor, he is going to be quitting. he is going to be like you, he is going to retire out at a young age, but he is going to be retired. he said i have more accountants then nurses. he said it is so complicated, it is so horrible, the paperwork is so terrible, i don't feel like i am a doctor anymore. we have doctors with plenty of open time. we have public and private hospitals all over the place that are not doing well. we are going to let those veterans that are standing in line and dying. people die waiting to see a doctor. hundreds of thousands. i could not believe it. you think one, two. but the numbers are incredible. thousands of men and women waiting for a doctor. it may be a simple procedure or maybe a pill. they end up dying. we are not going to have that anymore. the vets, remember, they are our greatest people. i would not be here. most of these people would not be here. come on, it is true. for the vets. [cheers & applause] it is true. it is true. we are having a simple plan. your hospitals across the street are looking for business. look at her, you are not a vet. what do you do? know, what do you do? ok one second. , you have hospitals across the street. you have doctors, right? you are going to get out of there. you see the hospital. you pay for the bill. it is much cheaper and everybody is going to be happy. we are going to use that hospital, looking for business. could be private, could be public. we are going to look for doctors that are looking for business. we are going to pay the bill. it is going to go quickly. and believe it not it is going , to be much cheaper than what we are doing right now. what we are doing right now is insulting. ok. go ahead. you are a designer? i did not think you were a vet. go ahead. >> no, i am not a vet this time around. i would like to say americans are winners. we love winners, and that is what you are. mr. trump: thank you. how nice is that? thank you, darling. that is so nice. >> my question is, the future of america looks beautiful with you. understanding the whole thing with trade with china. i would like to see more "made in america" labels for apparel. mr. trump: that is great. come on up, get her up here. work it out. come on, get up here. what a nice question. what she said is so important. do you remember the old days, some of us were young and some not even born. we had a sticker that said, "made in the usa." that meant quality. if it said made in japan, it was , like, no good. it was terrible. now it is reversed. we had those stickers, "made in the usa." that meant super quality. i want her up. i thought she was so fantastic. come on over. believe me if i didn't like the , question, folks, she would not be up here. so nice. don't worry about that. come on up. she's got to work to get up here. secret service, when you hit number one, all of the sudden you have a lot of protection. look at this. [applause] come here. what is your name. colette: my name is colette. you are beautiful, and i think you will definitely make america truly beautiful and great. i design mostly for men. i think guys are at a disadvantage with the fashion world. i think everybody can appreciate that. i have been living overseas for a while. what i would really love to see is all of you wearing made in america labels. [cheers & applause] mr. trump: you are great, thank you. you know, it is a great statement and question. because honestly you do not see it anymore. you don't see it anymore. we are going to be proud to have that sticker. let's remember that question. that is a very important question, statement. "made in the usa" was so important. it was such a sign of quality. first of all, we don't make that much anymore. it is not like it was. think of this. i went to los angeles recently. i saw the biggest ships you have ever seen with cars coming in from japan. they are pouring out of these ships. we send them practically nothing. it is a one-sided deal. we cannot have that. usa, when was the last time you saw a a chevrolet in the middle of tokyo? we make good cars. great cars. now we are doing great. let's have a good question. how about this guy with a good head of hair? this guy. go ahead. >> this is a question, first of all, we love you. this is a question for president trump, which is here. how are you going to deal with president putin? is arump: ok, putin -- it fair question. putin cannot stand obama, like a lot of people. what else is new? recently, i was on "60 minutes." they interviewed putin separately, they interviewed me. , i feel he is my staplemate. when he started bombing, i said let him bomb. the problem our country has, we don't even know who we are fighting. we want to fight assad, a bad guy, but we want to fight assad with rebels that we do not even know. but if we fight assad, we are fighting other countries. assad is bad, but the rebels could be isis. we have no idea. a general told me, we have no idea who they are. we want to give them billions and billions. let's say they take over syria. we do not know -- it is going to be turmoil. we have got to fight isis. and i love that russia is dropping bombs all over isis. i love it. i love it. ok? [cheers & applause] i mean we have a president, he , doesn't even know who to fight. how about this? two weeks ago, he says we are sending 50 men and maybe women. i am surprised he is not more specific. he should have been more specific. we are sending 50 men to syria, iraq. i don't think he even knows where they are going. why does he have to talk? why does he have to say it? why does he have to stand up and say, we are sending those people? these are our finest, greatest soldiers. why do we have to do that? why does he have to open his mouth? why can't he send them and be quiet? no he just announced they are sending another small group over. they justesterday, announced, "we are sending more soldiers." these guys small numbers. ,frankly, i think the number is so small that if you are going to do it, do it. it is so small, i don't think it is a good pr move. the enemy is not stupid. they are not the jv, and they are not contained. do we agree? they are looking for these men and women. they are looking for them. what the hell does he have to say it for? to use the word "unpredictable." we do not have any unpredictable unpredictability anymore. general macarthur, he would not talk. general george patton. they would have thrown him out in his first year because he was a vicious and violent guy who used foul language. but he was brutal. he could not be a general today. he was too crude. but he was a genius. his men loved him and fought for him, but he could not be a general. our generals are on television all the time. i don't want my generals on television. i don't want the enemy watching. one little word, and you are giving something up. i did a deal recently, and it was interesting, it was a great success, and they called up my opponent. he could not stand me. but he said something that was interesting. he was honest. he told the reporter "mr. trump was tough because he was so damn unpredictable." i don't know if he was being nice to me. i said, what does that mean? we couldn't figure you out. i said thank you, because i thought it was a compliment, but i had to be sure. we have no unpredictability. we have to get smart. we are going to get smart. i am going to leave it at that, but one of the things -- the pastor has a question. i had to take care of my pastor. but wait one second. one of the things that you are going to say when you leave this room, this is such an amazing thing that is happening. you are going to say, we were here at a time that really was important. people have come together, but you have to go out and vote. with all the talk about this group or that group. if romney had inspired -- he failed. mccain could not have won the first time. but romney the second time should have been an easy victory. say what you want on obama, he was on letterman, he was on leno, and all over the place. i am saying, when are you going to get on television to romney and his people? i said, just get on television. he is killing you. he is on every night. he was on letterman, leno. romney did not do it. so he failed. he let us down. that let me tell you something, if the people in this room who did not vote and all the other people, who would have never voted for obama, if they had the incentive to get up and go vote, romney would have won. but they were not inspired. but we have to remember that. hopefully i inspired. look i have the biggest crowds , anyone has ever seen. [cheers & applause] we have to remember that. i'm going to do something that is really not smart. i always like to end on a high note. we are on a high note. i can say, make america great. you are all going to go crazy, i leave, and i go back home. unlike hillary, i do not go to sleep, i think about things. she goes to sleep, and you don't see her for five days. she comes out and does another event. elton john would always say, and i love elton john. he said, you want to finish with a big bang. and when they do the encores, do you ever see where he finishes great. they say, more. the places going crazy. they do one song two songs. , three songs. people are saying, this is getting boring. after the fourth song or fifth song, people are like, let's go home. we are at a high, but the problem i have is, my pastor wants to ask me a question. how can i turn him down? will you do me a favor and ask a nice question so i do not leave here on a low note? >> mr. trump, i want to address the issue of black lives matter. black lives matter, no matter who kills them. there have been more people killed with black on black crime in america than there have been with white people killing them. mr. trump: it is true. it is a tremendous problem. >> in philadelphia from 2007 to 2015, over 3000 black people were shot dead by black people. my question is, where was black lives matter? [cheers & applause] they were not around. mr. trump: so true, by the way. >> my question is, will you come to philadelphia and address the black community on what we are going to do about stopping crime in the black community? and black on black crime in the black community, and crime in our schools. mr. trump: i went to the wharton school of finance in philadelphia. i know philadelphia well. he is a highly respected, great man in philadelphia, and the answer is yes. ok? all right? yes, i love it. ladies and gentlemen i want to , thank you all. you are spectacular people. doing this is actually easy. getting here was not so easy, but there is such love in this room. we are going to make america great again. better than ever before. i love you. i love you. [cheers & applause] thank you. thank you. thank you, everybody.
