10:27 am
we will build that wall. wall"nting "does that wal built i must tell you, besides a fox was on television last night and he apologized, and i accepted his apology. i thought it was very nice. did you see a? -- it? honestly. , i thought it was very, very nice. former president of mexico, and i thought it was very nice that he apologized. that is good. because we're going to have great relationships not -- with
10:28 am
mexico. but we need a strong border. last week i got the endorsement from 16,500 border patrol agent. history that the they have ever endorsed a presidential candidate. that was an honor. i will tell you. very important. the country is in trouble. not only the minors, not only in oal, but i think your industry has probably been hit harder than maybe anybody. but many industries have. the overregulation of our businesses is destroying families, it is destroying jobs, it is destroying businesses. and it is really hurting our country. in a sense it is destroying our country. we're going to change that.
10:29 am
when i came down the escalator , and i came melania 16th, i said come on we have to do it. it is not something i really wanted to do. doing this takes guts. like you have. but, it is a different kind of guys. i don't think i have your guts. i don't think i have that to be honest. doing that took a lot of courage. i have this great company, this great business, this great family. it is hard work. i've been away for a week, and the four speech of the day. it is 28,000 people including
10:30 am
outside folks. the media won't report that there. they won't. and we didn't really have to beer. you didn't really have to be here either because the race is over. but you wanted to be here, and i wanted to be here. but i came down and i talked about basically two things. and illegal immigration. you know what, it was a pot of gold. i get it -- hit a nerve because the country knew how out of control the illegal immigration was. they knew how totally out of control. me they knew mostly from because i been talking about it for years, they knew from me, they knew how bad our trade deals are. we have the worst trade deals may be ever negotiated in the history of mankind.
10:31 am
other than not, they are wonderful deals right. these are the worst deals. let me tell you something. administration of which hillary was definitely a part, she was a part of almost everything. almost i say, not everything. terrible. terrible. i didn't think the people of west virginia thought like that. that is terrible. you should be ashamed of yourself. terrible, terrible people. administration approved what they called nafta. which has single-handedly taken vast amounts of of our businesses in a particular manufacturing businesses and brought them into other countries. i want to tell you, i live in new york, and i know new york in
10:32 am
new york state well. it is a great place with great people. but i toured upper new york state and i went to sarah hughes, -- syracuse, and i went to albany, and we were getting crowds like you wouldn't believe. i was rebuilding after building, and some of these buildings are really big, empty. businesses left years ago. same thing that you are having. businesses left years ago in a move to mexico and they moved to other places. frankly, china took businesses and everything else. the statistical charts. i have these statisticians that love stats. i would rather be a coal miner than a statistician. but they are good. and after about 10 different speeches, in different states, i
10:33 am
realized, they are all the same. i didn't even need my statisticians. because they were saying manufacturing jobs down 50% from 10 years ago or 15 years ago. all the same. the population down. median income way down. many people in this room have not had a pay increase in 18 years. and you are working hard. in some cases to jobs. and you are making less money. it is not going to be that way anymore folks. 18 years, you are working hard on to jobs, you are making less money. not going to happen. nafta, happening is again i think it was probably the worst piece of economic development. these are people that make these
10:34 am
deals that are even take -- either taken care of by the contributors or donors, or they are stupid. it is stupid -- it is simple. they have no common sense. but i think their non-competent. i think they are much smarter. the politicians are not stupid, they are smart. they took care of one of their donors by allowing this deal to happen. he said what do you mean? think anybody would allow that deal to happen. and they took care of their donors. i gave money to the foundation, i think that maybe they will use this property. i didn't think there can use it to fly around in private jets. and a lot of people gave money to the foundation, but some of the money given you take a look,
10:35 am
what was given for the money. the whole thing was a scam. our whole system. let me tell you, our system is broken. it is badly, badly broken. are notn't fix it, we going to have a country left folks. we are not going to have a country. and crooked hillary whether you look at the e-mail, remember this. fanie sanders, and i am no of bernie sanders. although he does have one thing right. offnows we are being ripped entree. that is one thing he is right about here he can't do anything about it, so he has no plan for. but he knows we are being ripped off entree. entree. on trade. i know it are being ripped off, and i will fix it.
10:36 am
but when you look at what is i have been talking 3-4 months ago, i saw that 1400 people were laid off. they announced we are firing these people. ever i went, they had carrier people. they said where my carrier people. the guy was not nice about it. he was not nice. it looked like an upper middle management guide. that the cell phone going. we would be another statistic. it would be happening all over. , makeill move to mexico
10:37 am
their air-conditioning units, of which i buy a lot. i'm a trade person, i buy a lot of different things. they will sell them back to the country. no tax, no nothing. the whole weekend is unemployment. that is all we get. all we get is the destruction of families and people's lives. we get nothing. believe me, i am a really smart guy, i would to the wharton school of finance. unite have to go to high school, we get nothing. everybody in this room knows it. i watch these conservative people. they do not like what i am saying. they do not like it, because they want free trade. free trade only works if we have smart honest people on our side. we do not have that. we are getting beaten by every single country.
10:38 am
everybody that does business with us needs us. over 500 billion dollars per year, trade deficit with china. we are losing $58 billion per year with mexico, that will not happen anymore. we will balance things out. we will make it fair. wall, now iut the like them all. you know, after you win, you like everybody. i like them. so is is you exist on, this one, this when you go is that i love them. they are my best friends. me, ihey will come up to was a donald, you know you will .ot build a wall explain to me why. i'm a really good builder. that's what i do. it is good. we have a president who can rebuild our infrastructure without having across over 10 times that was supposed to cost. you ever see these jobs where
10:39 am
they were going to cost $100 costing and then to $1.2 billion. do you think somebody made a couple of dollars on these jobs? contractorssy these . they are smart people moving into mansions in florida. that is the good life. only in america. we will stop it. we will. we have to rebuild our infrastructure. we will not let that happen. so, here's what i will do. i've been watching for six years. for six years, i have been watching our government talk about how they will not let businesses moving in. they will have low-interest loans. they will not have money. they have a low interest loan, then they will move. they took low-interest financing and then, they move anyway.
10:40 am
for six years i have been watching. this is too complicated and does not work. i will tell you what works, you explain to the head of carrier or nabisco, you are of $2.5 billion. you know what that does to michigan? do know that does to the auto industry? that was two years ago. now, it is working out for them. nobody talked to them from our country and said you cannot do that. there have to be consequences when you do that. all those thousands and thousands of jobs. they will now build it much bigger. they will build it much bigger. are we stupid people? here is a solve the problem. you solve the problem by informing these companies. we'll use the carrier example. every single air-conditioning unit that you make and comes across the board to the souls of the united states, now come with a strong border and not a week
10:41 am
border. every single air-conditioning unit that you make, comes across the border come you will pay 35% tax on that. if you inform them before they leave, they are not leaving. if they leave anyway, do you know what will happen? will make a lot of money for the country. why support, leave this country. go to mexico, build cars, trucks and parts at one of the biggest plans the world. sell those to the united states, pay no taxes, then, leave all of these places empty. that is not going to happen anymore. we are not the stupid people anymore.
10:42 am
[applause] trump: when they sell a car, and that car crosses the border, why not? nobody is stopping them. take that car and drive it over the border. what is happening with that is a disaster. illegal immigration. why make these products, seldom to us, let go of thousands and thousands of great workers, and why should they be able to settle without a tax? i'm a conservative. conservatives hate me for suggesting that you would tax somebody. i love you too. i really do. this is so easy. this is so easy. -- only do itople
10:43 am
by myself. they talk about being presidential. it is not presidential, when the president calls up the head of an air-conditioning company. it is so much fun for me. not take vacations. i'm not like obama where he takes air force one to hawaii stays there for a few weeks and plays golf. back, flies air force one. a boeing 747, then, he has a news conference and talks about the carbon footprint must be saved. give me a break. [applause] it's crazy. you what will happen is the following. i'lls a mr. president, call you back. he will then hire lobbyists. they cannot get to me.
10:44 am
they will hire special interests, they cannot get to me. hillary, they will get hillary on the foreign staff. hillary will pay them millions of dollars. so, what happens is they will call back. we are not leaving the united states. we cannot let them leave. by the way, the one place where we are selling homes is in china. china can use that, but we cannot. here is what we're going to do, we will be the smart people. we will be the really smart
10:45 am

10:47 am
, she comes here two days ago, she is begging for your vote. she says she does not really mean it. but, those are her true feelings. those are her true feelings. she did not have a teleprompter for once. that is when she said that. it's why she use the teleprompter. she uses it because she cannot make that kind of mistake. i don't have a teleprompter. it's better that way. it's better. so, here is the story. we all had a good time tonight. considering the subject matter. country is in trouble. the subject matter is bad, but come the subject matter will be good. we are going to make america great again. it is going to be good out there.
