donald trump: and if we're smart and if we're tough, we won't let it happen. just remember that. ok. it's an honor to speak here today and discuss our shared values. i'd like to thank all of the wonderful christian leaders and christian voters who have supported me. we've had tremendous support. here we are and here are the goals and i thought i'd put some of these together and i did it just the other night because of this meeting and i wanted it to come from me from my heart. we want to uphold the sanctity and dignity of life. \[cheers and applause] donald trump: marriage and family as the building block of happiness and success. so important. \[applause] donald trump: and by the way, i know many, many very successful

people, the happiest people are the people that have that great religious feel and children. it's more important than the money, folks. i know plenty with lots of money and they're not happy people. religious freedom, the right of people of faith to freely practice their faith, so important. freedom of any kind means no one should be judged by their race or their color and the color of their skin should not be judged that way. and right now we have a very divided nation. we're going to bring our nation together. if i win we're going to bring our nation together. \[applause] donald trump: the importance of faith to united states society is really the people who go to church, who work and work in religious charities, so important, and share their values. these are the foundations of our society. we must continue to forge our

partnership with israel and work to ensure israel's security. \[applause] donald trump: keeping people of faith safe from threats like radical islam, whether protecting them here or standing by israel, all of us need to confront together the threat of radical islam. we have to do it. \[applause] donald trump: now, hillary clinton, or as i call her, crooked hillary clinton -- \[cheers and applause] donald trump: she's as crooked as they come. refuses to even say the words radical islam. refuses to say the words. this alone makes her unfit to be president. in fact --

\[applause] donald trump: in fact, she wants a 500% increase in syrian refugees to come into our country. no god. no -- no good. no good. can't do it. we don't know where they come from, where they are. \[audience booing] \[audience chanting "trump!"] \[inaudible] \[chanting "refugees are welcome here!"]

donald trump: amazing what goes on. thank you. thank you. all right. \[audience booing] \[ audience chanting "u.s.a.!"] donald trump: all right.

thank you. all right. little freedom of speech. freedom of speech. thank you. very rude. what are you going to do? thank you. appreciate it. what happens in our country is +what happens in our country is so sad. we're so divided. it's such a shame. these are professional agitators, folks. they are sent here by the other party. believe me. so where we left off. [applause] 500% increase in syrian refugees. without documentation we don't know where they come from, hillary will bring hundreds of thousands of refugees, many of whom have hostile beliefs about people of different faiths and values and some of whom absolutely and openly support terrorism in our country. we don't need that. we have enough problems. we have enough problems right now. \[applause]

donald trump: here is some of what we can accomplish together. appoint judges -- so important. so important. [applause] who will uphold our laws, protect our constitution and protect the rights of all americans. and -- \[applause] donald trump: as you know, i put a list together of highly, highly respected judges and you will see and i think you've seen it and i'm pretty sure you did but a lot of people have come together over that list. that's one of the most important reasons why we have to win the presidency. if we don't, it's going to be a whole different country. \[applause] donald trump: and by the way, these judges are all pro-life. \[cheers and applause]

donald trump: we will restore respect for people of faith who dutifully raise their children, follow our laws and rules and we have to really take care of -- we have to take care of our neighbors because right now our neighbors are not being taken care of. we have to restore the rule of law on our border, in our government, no matter where it is it has to be restored. \[applause] donald trump: and by the way, we have to pay great respect to our police and law enforcement in this country, believe me. they're not being treated properly. [applause] so all of this includes tough new ethics rules to restore dignity to the office of the secretary of state. which hasn't happened in a

while, folks. among being the worst dealmakers if you've ever seen. if you look at the iran deal, truly the worst i've seen negotiated. [applause] we will protect the right of churches to speak their minds on political matters free from intimidation. \[cheers and applause] donald trump: new immigration controls to keep us safe from radical islamic terrorism. \[applause] donald trump: here is what hillary clinton would do to our country. she'll appoint radical judges who will legislate from the bench, overriding congress and will -- i'll tell you, the will of the people will mean nothing. nothing.

her judges will abolish the second amendment and destroy the rule of law. she wants to abolish the second amendment, and i will tell you the national rifle association, the n.r.a., two weeks ago endorsed donald trump. so i think they're happy. \[applause] donald trump: and i think it's the earliest endorsement they've ever given to a presidential candidate so i was very honored. they're great people. great people. she will keep obamacare in place which puts medical decisions in the hands of government. not good. obamacare, we will repeal and replace. \[applause] donald trump: she'll restrict religious freedom with government mandates. she'll push for federal funding of abortion on demand up until the moment of birth, which is where she is, as you know.

she will undermine the wages of working people with uncontrolled immigration, creating poverty and income insecurity. hillary clinton's wall street agenda will crush working families. she'll put bureaucrats, not parents, in charge of our lives and our children's education. can't happen. she'll be trapping kids in failing schools. she'll plunge our inner cities into even deeper poverty, if that's possible. hillary's agenda of taxation -- and she wants to raise your taxes big league, folks. big league. get used to it. hear it. she wants to raise your taxes tremendously. regulation, bureaucracy, government control and open borders have economically destroyed our inner cities. her policies will be a crushing blow to all poor people in this country.

her education policies, her economic policies, her immigration policies and her trade policies will plunge our poor african-american, hispanic communities into turmoil and even worse despair. believe me. you look at what's going on. \[applause] donald trump: the democrat party has run the school boards and the police departments and the city councils and the mayors' offices in most of our inner cities, almost all of our inner cities. they've run congressional offices. they've horribly failed in almost every single community. in fact, you could actually say in every community. i'm going to turn things around. \[cheers and applause]

donald trump: hillary clinton has jeopardized, totally jeopardized national security by putting her emails on a private server all to hide her corrupt dealings. this is the reason she did it, folks. it's to hide her corrupt dealings. she's now under criminal investigation. that was announced yesterday by the white house. i mean, it's criminal investigation. \[applause] donald trump: first time ever, by the way, a president of the united states endorsed somebody under criminal investigation. interesting. she even appointed to the national security board someone with no national security experience. instead, he was a donor, a recent donor to hillary clinton's campaign and also gave as much as $250,000 to his foundation. they all looked. they said, where did this guy come from?

he made a contribution of $250,000, all of a sudden he's on this vital and important board. this dealt with tactical nuclear weapons and had top-secret clearance and he knew nothing about it. bill and hillary made $153 million giving speeches to special interest groups since 2001. that's a lot of money. that's a lot of money. \[laughter] donald trump: these donors own hillary clinton. they own her. and bernie sanders was right about that. i have to tell you. if you work -- it's true. and the bottom line is i will be working for you. i just spent $55 million running -- my money. it's not easy. [applause] i just spent $55 million running

in the primaries. other people spent many times that amount and didn't do so well. i'm working for you. i'm doing this because i want to give back. [applause] i want to give back to our country. \[applause] donald trump: together, friends, we will chart a new optimistic course for america. we will put america first. \[applause] donald trump: when you look at our deals, our military trades, we don't put america first. i don't think anybody negotiating these deals even knows anything about what they're doing and will put america first. i care and you care and that's the way the going to be. \[applause] donald trump: and that's a big, big part of why i'm challenging hillary clinton today to replace her support for increased refugee admissions.

we have to do it. for a new jobs program for our inner cities. we have to take care of the people that are here. \[cheers and applause] donald trump: we have to temporarily stop this whole thing with what's going on with refugees where we don't know where they come from but we have to take a rest, we have to take a time-out. we have to use the money to take care of our poorest americans and work with them so they can come out of this horrible situation that they're in. \[applause] donald trump: we will restore faith to its proper mantle in our society. that's what we have to do, and we have to do that soon. \[applause] donald trump: we will respect and defend christian americans. christian americans.

\[applause] donald trump: we will give parents control over their schools. \[applause] donald trump: so important. we'll uphold the values our founders gave us, which we're not doing now. \[applause] donald trump: we will work together to rebuild and restore and lift up everyone, not a certain group, everyone, the whole country we're going to lift up. \[applause] donald trump: we will make america great again for all americans, and we'll do it together. i want to thank you. this has been a great honor. amazing friendships i have in this room. thank you all very much. appreciate it. thank you. thank you very much. thank you. thank you. thank you, everybody. [applause]

thank you very much. \[cheers and applause]
