11:00 pm
equality. >> i think what we need is something akin to the grace commission during the reagan administration or the bracket commission, the base realignment and closing commission during the clinton administration. an outside group with integrity, former members of congress, no currently elected politicians to come in and do a complete audit of government top to bottom. every agency of government, juan, has a decent legislation or charter that created it. it has a purpose. if it's not fulfilling that purpose or not doing it within a reasonable budget, it should be cut or a limited. let's take head start. this came in with the highest motivation. do you know there are now three had starts? there is early head start, enhanced head start. why do we have the other two? the first one was a working. why did we have the third one?the second one wasn't
11:01 pm

11:02 pm
back in america. [laughter] >> great job. >> it is a pleasure for me to honor my friends. if you but after we got there, was in town. we are the only two senators in the room when bono who came by u2u actually listened to yo in junior high. i was the youngest senator. i was 39 at the time i was elected into office. i was reading at the level of a 40 year old which i told was very impressive. 42 now but read at the level of a 43-year-old. i try to stay ahead of the curve. my wife sharon is here somewhere. when i got there, it was interesting. apparently to some people in washington i did not look like a
11:03 pm
senator. to some of them i looked like a staff member by comparison. from time to time when i got to the door of the senate in order to vote, there were these very heavily armed gentleman who would stop me. oh just tying to get into vote and do my job. utah,ondrinking kid from i was not used to getting carded. they do not want to see my drivers license. i will show you what they wanted to see. each time i got carded i had to produce this. it says united states senator expiration january 3, 2017. i do not know that is what i personally expire or my term of office. this would happen every single time. i would have to produce the id.
11:04 pm
they would check it to make sure the security resistant strip was intact. they would look at each other and shrugged her shoulders and say i guess we had to let him in. rug their shoulders and say i guess we have to let him in. a shortcut. there was a lapel pin they gave me when i was inducted. so much only if you wear that will recognize you as a senator. it is designed to enable the capitol hill police to recognize a center as such. it worked like a charm. i came to calling it my "sorry senator" pin. i wouldot carded point to it and they would say " sorry, senator, you can come on in." every once in a while it does
11:05 pm
that work. when time after i had been there almost a year i was on the senate floor in between votes. i was standing there in between our two roll call votes. i had one arm gently leaning on the desk. one of the non-uniformed security personnel came up and said that i did not expect "would you please not mean on the senator's desk?" i am easily stood up and said i'm terribly sorry. i didn't realize i was putting weight on the desk her. some of them are very old and their protective of them. some of them are almost 200 years old. some of them are almost as old as some of my colleagues. he said are you with the minority? i do not know if you need on this vote or the next time. he said are you with the
11:06 pm
minority leader? leader.e is the of course i am with him. they said are you on his staff. i pointed to the pin. blank stare. it was not used to using my title so i mumbled the next word "i am senator lee." he said "what?" said i represent utah, it's a square, beautiful mountains. only then did he figure it out. all the coverage range from his face. terribly sorry. my name is steve if you want to report me." and then he ran for the door. i felt bad for steve. i did not want him to think there's any problem. i chased after him but he was too fast.
11:07 pm
every time i see steve in the halls of the u.s. capitol i say ve" and i wade and shake hands. only recently did occur to me that his name is probably not steve. it only occurred to me that his name is probably not steve. difficult to use my title that day. i do not want to have to do it. the story has become something of a walking metaphor to me. sometimes we have to assert that which is widely -- rightfully ours even when it is inconvenient. if we do not, we will lose it. right to asserted by be there, i probably would have been hauled off in handcuffs much to the amusement of some of my colleagues.
11:08 pm
i would have lost something that day, the 3 million people i represent in my home state. not just topplies all of us.rs but to there are some things that are rightfully ours by virtue of our u.s. citizenship. we have a right to live in a land with limited government. we have a right to live in a land where laws are made by elected centers and representatives and not by the stroke of the executive pen. [applause] it is one of the things i love about your state. one of the things i love about being here. it is almost tangible. you can feel it. you can see it on your license plate "live free or die." how beautiful is that? is, you and new hampshire have a long history
11:09 pm
standing up for what is right even when it is ethical -- difficult and threatening to your way of life. not far from here that the american revolution got underway. in december 1773 when not too far from here a group of american patriot ordered a ship in boston harbor and seized crates of english tea and into fine approach of our large, distant government that taxes too much, that was far too intrusive and do not respect our privacy, that regulated us oppressively and was so far from the people it was slow to respond to our needs, that national government waste in london had gone too far. we have had it. thatis significant here is they do not stop there.
11:10 pm
they had stopped at throwing these crates anof tea in the harbor. it would have been at most a footnote in american history. they do not stop there. they moved forward. from there they went on to declare and later fight for and ultimately win our independence. 14 years later, they got from boston all the way to in 1787 theywhere went from merely protesting against the kind of government they did not want to embracing the kind of government they did 227-year-oldnow document. [applause] we have had those moments as a nation will we go from protesting against what we don't want. we have those as a party where we have gone from railing against the kind of policies that are bad to embracing the
11:11 pm
policies that are good. we as a party, a republican party, have always faced the kind of tensions that any political party will face from time to time. that exists between the parties base and the senior elected leadership on the other hand. andion is natural inevitable. it has existed from time to time in one degree of severity or another. the party found itself in great disarray in 1976 following the 1976 election cycle. it was in that year that conservatives across america discovered a leader for the ages and ronald reagan. [applause] they ran that leader for the a less conservative incumbent republican president. for the that leader
11:12 pm
ages and they lost the primary election and republicans lost the general election. conservatives were blamed not just for losing the white house but also losing house and senate elections across the country. there is a lot of discouragement within the party that matched the tension i just described. conservatives did not give up. no. they doubled down and came back. in four years later, they won. they want because they came back with the same conservative leader for the ages. they were armed it's one thing they did not have before, and armed withhey were one thing they do not have before, and agenda. we learned that as a party we win when we do this. we win when we have an agenda that is at once told and focused on upward mobility for all
11:13 pm
americans. [applause] sometimes we lose sight of this. sometimes in our own party we are told to sit back and let things take care of themselves. there are those that are saying all we need to do to win elections is nothing. we know based on our experience that is not true. we know as a nation to many of us have settled for less. andnow that as americans republicans we have to expect more. how is it that we get there? how is it that we do what we need to do? how do we get to this point where congress has an approval rating at nine -- 9%? that makes us slightly less
11:14 pm
popular than fidel and rival castro in america. it makes a slightly more popular than the influenza virus and the virus is gaining on this. -- gaining no us. we have to expect more. demand more.t and how do we do that? conservatives we have to stop talking about ronald reagan and we have to start acting like him. we have to come together and rally around an agenda.
11:15 pm
a man described a late-night -- each of across a bridge. it was a high bridge. it was a bridge across either a harbor where he lived. it was so high if you jumped off of that you would not survive. he was enjoying this late at night when there was no traffic the it it was just him, moon, stars and bridge. he got halfway across and discovered that he was not alone. he saw a man standing on the edge of the bridge outside the guardrail holding on. he could barely detect from the light of the moon. this man was in a bad place. he was contemplating taking his own life by jumping up the bridge. better talk to humanity if i can help.
11:16 pm

[indiscernible] said dad you heretic and pushed him off the bridge. [laughter] us that ass conservatives we have that to be far more engaged in the act of thenng converts
11:17 pm
identifying heretics. we need to sharpen more pencils the ninth. dayt asked every single what is it that we can do to make a difference? how do we win? in this very critical election year, it really comes down to expectations. starters, i, -- for neared to tell you it is time to expect more. i am here tors, tell you it is time to expect more. do not settle for high unemployment. expect opportunity. do not settle for liberal domination of the media. expect an honest debate and a deeper national dialogue. do not settle for trillion dollar deficits. budgets.lanced do not settle for washington centered solutions brought to you on a silver platter by smooth talking washington bureaucrats.
11:18 pm
expect communities and neighborhoods and families in the institutions that have made our society great come together to solve america's greatest problems. do not settle for a president to .evise on a phone and a pen expect congress to do its job. [applause] .o not settle for style expect substance. do not settle for some day. expect today. do not settle for empty promises. expect excellence. we never settle for mediocrity. not ever. join me and expect more. join me and expect freedom.

11:20 pm
country and bring it back. it has to be brought back fast. our country is in very serious trouble. jobs, unemployment or the roof. you look at indexes. some of them are the worst we have had in 36 years. despite that you have a number that is below 7%. we know it does not matter the number. they do not report the way they used to when they were unemployed. now you stop looking for a job because you cannot find one. they consider you to be employed essentially. as a country, we are in such serious trouble we owe $17 trillion, much of it to china, who does numbers on us like nobody has ever really done numbers on us. we have deficits that are massive on a yearly basis.
11:21 pm
we do not have the right people negotiating or us. obamacare is an absolute catastrophe. it is a disaster. it is a disaster. they say they had 7 million startups. does anybody really believe that? ok. just an impossibility. it is impossible. how many people have paid? they do not mention the 7-10,000,000 people that lost their plan or. us. obamacare -- doctors. obamacare has been the single greatest lie i have witnessed and i have been in politics for a long time. think of this. we all have websites. i have a lot of websites. it costs me about three dollars per d set it up. you get this guy. you get this woman. you get this young kid and you put them in.
11:22 pm
i get everybody. it cost me so little. they spent well over $1 billion to do a website. nobody even talks about it. they sort of skipped over it. it is going to be one of the great classical lines in the history of politics and incompetence. that was when secretary sibelius on the podium with the president here, he must have been going wild on my she said "unfortunately, a page is missing." of obamacare.atic a page is missing. the whole thing is missing. a very conservative person
11:23 pm
and somebody that is a republican and proud to be, we do not get treated the same way. if that were done by some republican they would make that person into the dumbest, most incompetent human being that anybody has ever seen. with her they said isn't that cute? she lost a page. it wasn't that cute? i watched. i could not believe it. they are trying to make it like it was a wonderful thing. when president obama was interviewed a couple of weeks ago eisenach whatever his name -- to get the youth - interviewed a couple weeks ago by whatever his name was to get the youth, they said some nasty things. he was so furious. you could see he wanted to get out. he is looking for the aid that set the interview.
11:24 pm
s people.fire you could see how angry he was pure iwatch the commentary. everybody was saying wasn't that fun? the only one not having fun was in. it was very disrespectful to the president. they made it like wasn't that wonderful? wasn't that great? we have a lot of problems going on in this country. i am a big believer in free trade. with free-trade unique competence people. i do not like free trade with incompetent people. everybody's is kicking our ass. every country. i like to say fair trade as opposed to free trade. trade."o say "smart i know people on wall street that are so smart, that are so

11:26 pm
and all the things they're taking out of our system. nobody would have thought they would have had encouraged to devalued the currency again. they have no respect for our country. none. i am a big believer in military. i do not want to use it. when you have it, you do not have to use it. when you don't have it, you have to use it. when you have it, you don't have to use it. we are cutting way back. many decades it has not been this weak. many decades we have not spent this little as a percentage. we are cutting way back great putin who is

trauma they are going through. for what? iraq.u look at now we have nothing to do. you know who has taken it? iran. for decades they were the same strength. they would go to feed this way, to feed that way and then they would say "let's have a truce." now we have decapitated. i believe strongly in military. i am very strong in doing wars if it is a right war. i was always against this. iran has taken over. if we're going to be, maybe
11:29 pm
these people in washington, and i'm not talking about obama purely. he stay there a long time. maybe they know something. maybe they're going to take the oil. i said, they must have that in mind. you know who is taking the oil right now? china and iran. we get nothing. they do not let us in the country. now you look at afghanistan. afghanistan is another catastrophe. we are in there for a trillion. we are fighting on this side of the mountain. money to get satchels of money.gets satchels of who is the person delivering the cash? how does it feel to carry $50 million over your back. this is cash. who is authorized to give this?

11:32 pm
a lot of problems with immigration. either you have a country or you don't. it is very simple. either have a country or you don't have a country. you have to come up with a humane solution for people who have been here for many years. we have a lot of unprotecte -- unproductive people only have to get them the hell out. day.rd jeb bush the other he was talking about people that come into this country illegally. they do it for love. say it again. i have heard a lot. rd money and sex. the one thing i have not heard was love. i understand what he was saying.
11:33 pm
it is out there. i would say. borders, have to have and i mean strong borders. i am a builder. i build great buildings. border, how can we possibly build a fence known to climb over? i would build a border like you've never seen before. nobody is climbing over. nobody. thank you. the problem that i have with politicians, not just our president. our president is obviously the leading example. politicians, and i know them all . i've known the liberals, democrats, conservatives. i happen to love the tea party. they kill me for loving the tea
11:34 pm
party. i take heat because i love them. i went to wharton school of finance. the best school in the country. i have to get my credentials. the tea party does not get fairly treated. you know what it is? a their people that love this entry and love to work and they love to pay taxes and they want to pay more and more and they want to get this country going. these are incredible people. they do not get the right press. get the tea party. we've got to get them a good press agent. we've got to do it. they are great people. they do like me. every time i make a speech i get far more people. they are all the tea party. they love me. politicians are all talk and no action. it is true. it is all bullshit.
11:35 pm
it is no action. they talk and talk and you go crazy. in the meantime, everybody else is eating lunch. and you know who's lunch it is? our lunch. it is tough. it is not their thing. i have known so many. i respect them. they are incredible survivors. i call a great politician a survivor. , ande had politicians they're very nice to me, they really are, they treat me very nicely. they want campaign contributions. they also what my endorsement badly. they are trying to survive at their job. i have gone to politicians over the years. one in particular. a congressman from many years.
11:36 pm
i've always supported him. i asked for support of something that was really good for the country. a little controversial. not much. tagged me along. you leave the office and you got tapped. and two weeks later you say they are long. they're really good. i have respect for them. then i called him. he said we are really looking at it. we are really looking at it. all right. good. that is great. i'll call you in a few weeks. let me call you in about two months. he calls me in two months. it is a tough situation. two years go by. then he announces retirement. guys are these unbelievable survivors. he did not like it because it was a little bit tough. he might lose two votes. it might not be perfect for him.
11:37 pm
it was not his comfort zone. in the meantime you did something very bad for that particular area. i have learned they are incredible survivors and respect them for that. the surviving is for themselves and not the country and the community. it is selfish. [applause] kidding, butort of i go and i will do these on occasion, and david asked me to do this one -- i agreed to do it and i said, it's interesting. things,me i go to these there are always teleprompters. i always say, take down the teleprompters. not beoliticians should allowed to use teleprompters. [applause] said that to somebody
11:38 pm
backstage to has been in politics for years and they said, i've never heard of that idea before. write a speech -- usually it is written by someone else, get a great speech writer, then they stand up and start reading the speech. you don't really find the essence of a man or a person. you don't really know that person when they are doing the teleprompters saying. i think it's a cool idea. you could learn a lot about people. our president is the number one example. what we know about him? lines of up and reads a teleprompter most of the time and then everybody says, that was nice. you don't learn about the person. happen, maybedn't he wouldn't have been elected. election, the republicans should have one. how they blew that one is hard to believe.
11:39 pm
how they blew that one is so discouraging and so hard to believe. do is we have to straighten out the country. just recently i was thinking a lot, and steve mentioned [indiscernible] it took eight years and the city spent $22 million. i went to ed kotz, the mayor of new york city and said, i would like to build it. if i don't build it quickly and for under $2 million, i will pay for it myself. it's the most successful rink anywhere in the world. run's the way we wanted to -- want it to run. eight years, 22 million dollars. of the $22 million, i had to rip it all down. the advantage was i had to spend demolition money to rip it down.
11:40 pm
i built it in three months. i have a daughter. do we all know my daughter? she's great. i wanted her to go ice skating before she got too old. said, i'mt years, i going to build a rink. [laughter] i would walk through central park and look at that rink and i would see -- it's a massive .urface, over an acre i would say 200 or 300 men sitting there all day long. why aren't they working? they didn't do anything. i got it. i did a great job, like the book, you know? "kick ass." the workers loved it. at the same everything. when the city first started the rink, they went to miami to get an engineer who builds
11:41 pm
refrigerators, for putting food in. they used freon. that's ok for a refrigerator. if there's a tiny little hole the size of a pin, you will never cool the ice. they put this beautiful copper comebacks next day and it was -- come back the next day and it was robbed. i said, let me see the engineer. this said, he's in miami. i said, who's the head of the montreal canadiens hockey team? a great guy. he sent down his engineer. he said, mr. trump, they will never be able to make ice. they did finish in a couple of
11:42 pm
times but they were not able to make ice. they cannot even make ice when it was 20 degrees out. [laughter] i call him up and he comes down. realizes --es, he today we use brian. -- brine. it is water with salt in it, and you put it in rubber tubes under the concrete. the ice never freezes because it has salt in it. it's a rubber tube, salt, and water. they make the water very cold. we had ice so fast, nobody could believe it. they poured the concrete, they ported at an angle. one side of the rink had two and a half feet of water and the other had nothing. this is true. even i could not cool to in a half feet. -- two and a half feet. we had to rip it all apart.
11:43 pm
today, in the wharton school of finance, they study that. it's free enterprise versus government. we need more. [applause] i fixed things. that's what i do. i got rich by fixing things. usually i will buy it out of bankruptcy. they say, trump went bankrupt. i never went bankrupt. the story said, trump, 800 acres in the middle of miami, it's going to be the greatest resort in the country. it's already there. they are very dishonest people. they said, trump files for bankruptcy. i bought a house in palm beach for $40 million out of bankruptcy.
11:44 pm
i sold it for $100 million. i don't want to brag. this is what we need in the country. we have to make deals like this much bigger. [applause] it -- i amought worth now a lot. because i bought it out of bankruptcy they said, donald trump is bankrupt. when icahn plays a bankruptcy, nobody says that. every time you see that crap, just ram or it is a dishonest remember it is a dishonest reporter, ok? we need somebody who will make the great deals for this country. we need to make our country rich again. i'm starting construction on the old post office building on
11:45 pm
pennsylvania avenue, amazingly next to the white house. if i don't make the one thing, i can always have the other as a fallback position. [laughter] [applause] it's much bigger than the white house. i'm going to try and make it just as nice. i'm building a tremendous hotel there. it will be amazing. we start in four weeks. what it means is lots of jobs. you want to put money into this system. but the country has to be doing that to. are very small. if the country is going dead and you are doing well, you will not do well long. you cannot really counteract all that negativity. giving it away to china and other countries -- opec is an example. why is oil, with all the energy we have, how come oil is always
11:46 pm
setting all-time highs? .pec has hired every lobbyist you try to get a lobbyist to go against opec. you cannot do it. you say to yourself, where are our competent leaders? we don't need competent leaders. genius,unbelievable smart as hell leaders. we are no longer at the stage where we can have somebody competent. [laughter] we need something far more than that right -- that. i will say something that a lot of republicans disagree with me on. --friends at the tea party they did a poll, and 78% of them my medicare,ouch
11:47 pm
medicaid, or social security. am i right? >> you are right. >> this guy is a good american right here. leave my medicare alone! ryan, whou have paul was chosen as the vice -- i think he's a very nice person. stance is to knock the hell out of medicare and medicaid. i feel very differently. i would leave it alone. i don't want to hurt people. you have to get rid of the fraud and abuse. that we agree with. there's tremendous fraud. some of these doctors and people are ripping off this country. they have become rich. to my doctor drives up place and they buy an apartment in trump tower and they are driving a for ari -- what you do -- ferrari -- what do you do?
11:48 pm
i'm a doctor. oh, great. you have to run it properly. in all fairness, you have to be able to go through -- you have to make this country strong. you have to make this country wealthy. when this country becomes wealthy, your social security and medicare and medicaid will be taken care of. it will work. it will work well. republicans are out there, always saying cutting back entitlements -- fine. do what you have to do in terms of abuse and theft and crookedness and all the things that are going on, because it's a mess. but you have to protect the people. a lot of these people work all
11:49 pm
their lives and then find other social security will be harmed and taken away. it's not fair. how do you solve that? and how do you solve jobs? how do you solve military? we have to build up the military, not take it down. if we build it up, you're going is doing what- he he is doing because he does not respect us. he sees what is happening. china is taking over areas we always had. i don't know if we even want those areas. let's build our schools and bridges. china is building more bridges than we have ever built in this country. you know how many bridges we are building? none. we don't have any money. we are building nothing. i always end by saying we have to make this country great again. when we make this country great -- when we make this
11:50 pm
country wealthy, then we can afford all of the things that you are really entitled to. it has been an honor to be here. i love new hampshire. perhaps i will see you again. thank you very much. [applause] >> thank you. [applause] thank you. in theomes a time history of nations when a country passes the point of no return. that time approaches. that time is near.
11:51 pm
the question remains, will you be sunshine patriots? firstou shrink at the sign of probation or will you men and women of courage and fight for your freedom? will you? will you fight for your freedom? [applause] those who would trade your are inside security the gates and breached the walls. they are here. the question is, will you stand? i have had enough. i will not waver in my defense of freedom. i will not wilt in the face of adversity. i will stand and fight them at every point.
