you, john, members of the board, recession committee, detroit economic club, i am welcome.for that warm it was just a few short weeks ago as a fellow midwesterner, a governor from a state just south here, that i was humbled to accept the republican nomination as vicend it serves president of the united states of america. [applause] in the midst of the weakest economic recovery since the , today at this historic forum republican nominee for president of the united rates will do what so many american leaders have done podium,t this very simply put, today you will hear keynote speaker outline a

, a new economic vision to make america great again. [applause] and it is an honor for me to , a man who i have just gotten to know personally over the past couple of months. friends.ecome fast it seems like someone i have life, quite frankly. so -- like so many other entrepreneurs in america, donald trump is a dreamer, builder, a driver, and a man who speaks his mind. sayhe is also a man i would -- what is so refreshing about donald trump and explains the connection he is literally made to millions of americans, thatse even as he is told -- skyscrapers to the sky, the largest cities, he is never forgotten the men and

women who work with their hands, who grow our food, build our roads, who protect our families. sense, he has who has built alongside the men and women who have done the work. far off theim campaign trail, to see him among the people of work with him and for him for years, you see that connection. level around donald trump, and he is the kind of leader that is continuously andng questions of everyone at everyone in his organizations. it is truly inspiring to see him work. is quite the contrast from other party's nominee. they tell us this economy is the best we can do. american people know it is a little bit different than that. the last quarter gdp report, 1.2% growth, the slowest and smite 49. extraordinary to think the rate and labor in

since the the lowest 1970's. and probably most heartbreaking of all, the number of americans increasedpoverty has million over the years.5 the american people know it is nowhere near the best we can do, it is just the best they can do. and donald trump is going to this nation back to a dynamic and growing economy that people.r all of our today donald trump were outlined in vision that will unleash the thedless potential of american people and the american economy by empowering working large andbusinesses small, and entrepreneurs to hire to invest, to build and to grow americaroduce here in again. --let me say [applause] it is truly a privilege, but also a high honor or me to

iou a man who believe will make america great again and will be the next president of the united states of america, your speaker, donald trump. [applause] mr. trump: thank you, everybody. thank you very much. thank you. such a crowd. beautiful. thank you very much. thank you. thank you. please. thank you for the invitation to speak to you today. wonderful to be in detroit

. many times. we now begin a great national conversation about economic renewal for america. a conversation about how to make america great again for , especially, and i say those who have at the very least. ourcity of detroit is where city begins. detroit was once the economic envy of the world. the people of detroit help to america for the position of global dominance in the 20th century. [crowd cheers]

thank you. thank you very much. when we were governed by the detroitfirst policy, was absolutely booming. engineers, laborers, shippers and countless others went to work each day, provided for families and lived out, out the american dream. many living in this city that dream has long ago vanished. we abandon the policy of america first, we started countries other instead of our own. skyscrapers went up in beijing and many other cities around the world while factories and neighborhoods crumbled right

here in detroit. roads and bridges fell into disrepair, yet we found the money to resettle millions of refugees at taxpayer expense today detroit has a per capita $15,000, about half of the national average. resident live in poverty. times -- over 2.5 times the national average. half of all detroit residents do work. detroit tops the list of the most dangerous cities in terms of violent crime. >> [indiscernible]

[applause] thank you. detroit tops the list of most dangerous cities in terms of violent crime. these are silent victims whose stories are never told by clinton, but the victim suffering is no less real or permanent. in short, the city of detroit is living, breathing example of failed economic agenda. [applause] every policy that has failed to it -- this city and so many others is a policy supported by clinton.

she supports high taxes and regulation that forced and out of your community the crime policy have made you far less safe and the immigration policies that have strained local budgets and the nafta, signedke husband, that have shipped your jobs to mexico and , and shentries supports the education policies that deny your students choice, freedom, and opportunity. [applause] she is the candidate of the past , ours is the campaign of the future. [applause] this is a city controlled by democratic politicians at every , and unless we change

policies, we will not change results, 100%. [applause] today i will outline my economic vision. in the coming weeks we will be offering more detail on all of these policies and the ones we out [applause]ed thank you, everybody. this is what happens when you go from 35 people too close to 2000 guess.i , we will beg weeks on all ofore details

these policies, and the ones we have artie rolled out can be viewed on my campaign website. our opposition, on the other hand, has long ago run out of ideas. all hillary clinton has to offer same.e of the more taxes, more regulation, , moreureaucrats restrictions on american energy and more restrictions on american production. if you are a foreign power looking to weaken america, you could not do better than hillary clinton's economic agenda. [applause] nothing would make a foreign than for ourpier country to tax and regulate our right out of jobs existence. everye common feature of

hillary clinton idea is it punishes you for working and doing business in the united states. [applause] every policy she has builds the playing field for other countries that are its ends, and tries tohy she distract us with tired political rhetoric that seeks to label us, divide us and pull us apart. my campaign is about reaching everyone as americans and returning to a government that the american people first. [applause] thank you.

thank you. here is what an american first economic plan looks like. first, let's talk tax reform. taxes are one of the biggest race.ences in this hillary clinton, who has spent her career voting for tax increases, plans another job killing $1.3 trillion tax increase. big increase, one of the biggest ever. would tax small businesses by almost it be percent. recently, at a campaign event clinton short-circuited -- you know this one, short-circuited again to use a term when she accidentally told the truth and taxeshe wanted to raise

on the middle class. [applause] i am proposing an across-the-board income tax reduction, especially for middle americans. this will lead to millions of new and really good paying jobs. rich will pay their fair share, but no one will pay so that it destroys jobs or undermines our ability as a compete. [applause] as part of this reform, we will eliminate the carried interest induction. reduction. thank you. as part of this reform, we will carried interest

, well-known deduction, and other special interest loopholes that have been so good investors andt people like me, but unfair to american workers. tax simplification will be a major feature of the plan. [applause] our current tax code is so burdensome and so complex that we waste 9 billion hours per year in tax code compliance. my plan will reduce the current number of rockets from seven to three and dramatically streamline the process. [applause] we will work with house republicans on this plan using brackets they have

proposed. 12%, 25%, and 33%. for many american workers, their tax rate will be zero. [applause] while we will develop our own assumptions and policies, areas while not an all or in others, we will be goalsd on the same shared and guidance of the same shared principles, jobs, growth, and opportunity. [applause] reforms will open the revolution since the

reagan tax reform, which unleashed years of continued economic growth and job creation. america grow again. [applause] in the days ahead, we will provide more details on this you,and how it will help and most importantly, your families. it will present a knife and a taxrast to the job killing raising, poverty-inducing, obama -clinton agenda. [applause] so important, the state of new already lived through leadership.led -- soshington post

important, the state of new york has artie lived through hillary pledged 200,000 jobs for upstate new york when she was a senator. what happened? writes and in post quote, upstate job growth stagnated overall during her tenure with manufacturing jobs plunging to record-setting force was --y 25% nearly 25%. she was unable to pass big-ticket legislation. many promised jobs. vote for jobs, she will bring back jobs. many promised jobs never materialized and others migrated

to other states. she turned her first presidential run, which also was a disaster. [applause] thank you. then it shows that upstate actually lost jobs, a lot of them, during her first term. she was all talk, no action, upstate new york, a disaster. it is a disaster, what's happened to new york. reason. a big compare that to my record. in a recent new york post

article, how donald trump helped save new york city. the paper writes that i, and this is a direct quote, in other words, not from me. [booing] [applause] thank you. all very well planned out. [applause] quote. a direct anald trump waded into landscape of empty 5th avenue. balls, central park so

dangerous and a wall street area seemingly on its last legs as companies moved out. then, almost by sheer force of rescue, rode to the expressing rare faith in the future. he was instrumental in kickstarting the regeneration of neighborhoods and landmarks, almost given up on for dead. i did not say it, they said it. this is what i want to do. remember, new york city was a disaster. we made it great.

this is what i want to do. thank you. this is what i want to do for our country. america, andpstart it can be done, and it won't even be that hard. [applause] let's look at what the obama policies have done nationally. their policies produced 1.2% growth, the weakest recovery since the great depression. debtbling of the national during the obama years. there are now 94.3 million americans outside of the labor force. million when

president obama took office, an increase of 14 million people. agenda haslinton created a silent nation of jobless americans. homeownership is at its lowest rate in 51 years. [shouting] [applause] thank you very much. i will say the bernie sanders people had far more energy and

spirit. [applause] nearly 12 million people have been added to the food stamps and these people are growing and growing so rapidly. since president obama took office. another nearly 7 million people, great americans are right now living in poverty. forcee the lowest labor participation rates in four decades. 58% of the african-american youth are either outside of the labor force or not employed. one in five american households do not have a single member in the labor force, not a single member of the household.

are real under -- unemployment numbers. the 5% figures is one of the biggest hoaxes and american modern politics -- in american modern politics. [applause] meanwhile, american households lessarning more than $4000 today than they were 16 years ago. the average worker today pays 31.5% of their wages to income and payroll taxes. on top of that, state and local taxes consume another 10%. a very grim picture. the united states also has the highest business tax rate among the major industrialized nations of the world, at 35%.

almost 40%. [shouting] [applause] it's almost 40% when you add in taxes at the state level and in many cases and many states, it is higher than that. in other words, we punish companies for making products in america, but let them ship products into the united states tax-free if they move overseas. this is backwards. all of our policies should be geared toward keeping jobs and

wealth inside of the united states. [applause] under my plan, no american company will pay more than 15% of their business income in taxes. [applause] in other words, we are reducing the taxes from 35% to 15%. thank you. small businesses will benefit the most from this plan. hillary clinton's plan will require small business to pay as much as three times more taxes than what i am proposing.

her regulations will put them totally out of business, and you won't be able to start. you cannot ever start a small business under the tremendous regulatory burden that you have today in our country. we are going to end it. cut regulations massively. [applause] alsoower business tax will end job killing corporate inversions and cause trillions in new dollars and wealth to come pouring into our country. by the way, into cities like right here in detroit. [applause]

to help unleash this new job creation, we will allow businesses to immediately expense new business investment. no one will gain more from these proposals than low and middle income americans. [applause] reduce thel also cost of childcare by allowing parents to fully deduct the average cost of childcare spending from their taxes. [applause] we are also going to bring back trillions of dollars from american businesses that are now parked overseas. they can bring their money back into our country. bring that cash home, applying only a 10% tax.

this money will be reinvested in states like michigan. [applause] family will have to pay the death tax. american workers -- [applause] workers have pay taxes their whole lives and they -- it ist be taxed just plain wrong and most people agree with that. we will repeal it. next comes regulatory reform. as with taxes, i will have one overriding goal when it comes to regulation. wealthjobs, and i want to stay in america.

motor vehicle manufacturing is one of the most heavily regulated industries in the country and even in the world. is 25%. economy today smaller than it would have been without the surge of regulations since 1980. it is estimated that current overregulation is costing our economy as much as $2 trillion a year. that is money taken straight out of cities like detroit. so many of our cities are suffering so gravely, right out of detroit and others. the federal register is now over 80,000 pages long. at the wall street journal noted, president obama has issued close to 400 new major ,egulations since taking office

each with a cost to the american economy of $100 million or more. alone, the obama administration unilaterally issued more than 2000 new regulations, each a hidden tax on american consumers and a massive lead weight on the american economy. anchorime to remove the dragging us down, and that is what it is doing. it is dragging us down. [applause] upon taking office, i will issue a temporary moratorium on new agency regulations. [applause] pence, ag mate, mike great guy, signed --

[applause] signed a similar order when a -- when he worked so hard in indiana as its governor. this will give our american companies the certainty they our to reinvest in communities, get cash off of the sidelines and start hiring, new jobs and expanding their businesses. that is what it's about. i will also immediately cancel all illegal and overreaching executive orders. [applause] next, i will ask each and every federal agency to prepare a list of all of the regulations they impose on americans which are not necessary, do not improve

public safety, and which needlessly kill many jobs. those regulations will be eliminated quickly. [applause] we are in a competition with the world, and i want america to win. [applause] anymore, but when i am president, we will start winning again, big-league. [applause] one of the most important reforms of all is trade reform. as bernie sanders has said, hillary clinton has bad judgment. we have seen this bad judgment overseas, in libya, iraq and syria.

iran, we havet in seen it from president obama when he gives $150 billion to iran, the number one terrorist state and even gives them $400 million in money laundered cash as a ransom payment. we have also seen the terrible obama, clinton judgment, right here for everybody to see in detroit. hillary clinton has supported the trade deals, stripping this city and this country of its jobs and it's well. she supported bill clinton's nafta. she supported china's entrance into the world trade organization. she supported job killing trade deals, and that was a really bad one, with south korea and she supports the transpacific partnership. not now, but very soon, if she wins.

that will be a disaster for detroit and everybody else. [applause] korea,alk about south because it is perfectly illustrating the broken promises that have hurt so many american workers. and the usuala so-called experts who have been wrong about every trade deal for decades predicted that the trade deal with south korea would increase our exports to south korea by more than $10 billion, resulting in 70,000 jobs. like clinton's broken promises to new york, these pledges all turned out to be false. instead of creating 70,000 jobs, it has killed nearly 100,000 jobs according to the economic

policy institute. our exports to south korea have not increased at all, but their imports to us have surged more than $15 billion, more than doubling our trade deficit with that country. what else is new? it is happening with everyone. the next the trail will be the transpacific partnership. hillary clinton's closest friend confirmed what i have been saying, and this is from the beginning. if sent to the oval office, she will enact the tpp as sure as you are sitting there. her donors will make sure a vote for hillary clinton is a vote for the tpp, and it is also a vote for nafta. our annual trade deficit in goods with mexico has risen from close to zero, think of that,

close to zero in 1993 to almost $60 billion today. our total trade deficit in goods hit nearly $800 billion last year. almost $800 billion. this is a strike at the heart of michigan and our nation as a whole. according to the bureau of labor statistics, before nafta went into effect, there were 285,000 autoworkers in michigan. today, that number is only 160,000 autoworkers. detroit is still waiting for hillary clinton's apology. she has been a disaster. obama has been a disaster. i expect detroit will get that apology right around the same time hillary clinton turns over the 33,000 e-mails she deleted.

[applause] hillary clinton's transpacific partnership will be an even bigger disaster for the auto industry and even worse than nafta. ford motor company has announced its opposition to the deal. according to the economic policy institute, the u.s. trade deficit with the proposed tpp member, all the member countries, cost is over one million manufacturing jobs in the year 2015. by far, the biggest losses occurred in motor vehicles and parts, which lost nearly 700 -- 740,000 manufacturing jobs. what are we doing?

michigan ranks first for jobs of trade share workforce due to the deficit with tpp members. imagine how many more automobile jobs will be lost if the tpp is actually approved. it will be catastrophic. that is why i have announced we will withdraw from the deal before that can ever happen. [applause] clinton will never withdraw from tpp. she is bought, controlled and pay for -- paid for by her donors and special interests. [applause] because my only interest is the american people, i have previously laid out and detailed a seven point plan available on

my website. it includes strong protections ,gainst currency manipulation tariffs against any countries that cheat by unfairly subsidizing their goods, and it includes a total renegotiation of nafta, which is a disaster for our country, a total renegotiation. [applause] if we don't get a better deal, we will walk away. at the center of my plan is trade enforcement with china. this alone could return millions of jobs to our country. china is responsible for nearly half of our entire trade deficit. they break the rules in every

way imaginable, including militarily. china engages in illegal exports , subsidies, prohibited currency manipulation and rampant that of intellectual property. it is out of control. they also have no real environmental or labor protections, further undercutting american workers. just enforcing intellectual property rules alone could save millions and millions of american jobs. [applause] according to the u.s. international trade commission, improved protection of america's intellectual property in china would produce more than 2 million more jobs right here,

right now in the united states. [applause] add that to the same jobs protected from enforcing -- cracking down on cheating and currency dumping and we will bring new wages back to our country, the united states of america. thank you. [cheering and applause] so simple. trade has big benefits. thank you. benefits, and i am , but i wanttrade trade deals for our country that create more jobs and higher wages for american workers. isolation is not an option. [shouting]

thank you. [applause] isolation is not an option. holy great and well-crafted trade deals -- only great and well-crafted trade deals where we are once benefit instead of being taken advantage of. to benefit, and our workers are going to benefit or we will not make those deals. also critical to our economic renewal will be energy reform. obama/clinton administration has blocked and destroyed millions of jobs through their anti-energy regulations while raising the price of electricity for both families and

businesses. as a result of recent obama epa actions, coal fired plants across michigan have either shut down entirely or undergone expensive conversions, making them noncompetitive. the obama/clinton war on coal has cost michigan over 50,000 jobs. hillary clinton says the plan will put a lot of coal companies and coal miners out of business. we will put our coal miners and our steelworkers back to work, where they want to be. [applause] clinton not only embraces president obama's job killing energy restrictions, but wants to expand them, including going after oil and natural gas production that employs some 10 million americans.

according to the heritage foundation, by 2030, the obama/clinton energy restrictions will eliminate another half a million manufacturing jobs, reduce trillionoutput by $2.5 and reduce income by $7,000 per person. a trump administration will end this war on the american worker and unleash an energy revolution that will bring fast new wealth to our country. according to the institute for energy research, lifting the restrictions on all sources of american energy will do the following. than $100dp by more billion annually. add over 500,000 new jobs annually and increase annual wages by more than $30 billion

over the next seven years. [applause] additionally, it will increase federal, state and local tax revenue by almost $6 trillion over four decades. activitytotal economic by more than $20 trillion over the next 40 years. the reforms i have outlined today are only the beginning. trade, reformed our tax, energy and regulatory policies, we will open a new chapter in is soan prosperity, which desperately needed. we need a new chapter. we can use this new wealth to rebuild our military which is desperately needed and our infrastructure.

as part of this new future, we will also be rolling out proposals to increase choice and reduce cost in childcare, offering much-needed relief to american families. they are suffering. we are going to get them as much needed relief. i will unveil -- thank you. i will unveil my plan on this in the coming weeks that i have been working on with my daughter, who is here. [cheering and applause] stand up. she feels so strongly about this. an incredible team of experts. likewise, our education reforms will help parents send their kids to a school of the work -- of their choice.

it will be so good for detroit. we will also give our police and law enforcement the funds in support they need to restore law and order to this country. [applause and cheering] thank you. without -- without security, there can be no prosperity. [shouting] [cheering] security, there can be no prosperity. we must have law and order.

we must have law and order. [applause and cheering] way, our police in this country are really unrecognized for the incredible job that they do. thank you. [applause] in the coming days, we will be rolling out plans on all of these items. one of my first acts as president will be to repeal and replace disaster is obamacare, saving another 200 million american jobs. [cheering and applause] we will also rebuild our military and get our allies to

pay their fair share for the protection we provide to them, saving us countless more billions of dollars to invest in our own country. [applause] we also have a plan on our website for complete reform of the veterans administration. [applause] something so desperately needed, to make sure our that's and getare supported the care they deserve, which they have not been getting, not even close. [applause] city, wille motor come roaring back. [cheering and applause]

offer a new future, not this same old failed policies of the past. our party has chosen to make new history by selecting a nominee from the outside, and that is outside of the very, already proven rigged system. the other party has reached backward into the past to choose a nominee from yesterday who offers only the rhetoric of yesterday and the policies of yesterday. take a look at what happened to new york state manufacturing and take a look at her promises before this happened. there will be no change under hillary clinton, only four more

years of weakness and president obama. we are going to look boldly into the future. we will build the next generation of roads, bridges, railways, titles, seaports and airports. that is what our country deserves. american cars will travel the roads. american planes will connect our cities. american ships will patrol the seas. [applause] will send new skyscrapers soaring all over our country. we will put new, american metal into the spine of this nation.

[applause] it will be american hands that rebuild this country, and it will be american energy mind from american sources that powers this country. be american workers who are hired to do the job. americanism, not globalism, will be our new credo. reach amazingll new heights, maybe heights never obtained before. all we have to do is stop relying on the tired voices of

the past. system by a rigged relying on the people and just remember, this is so important, we are reliant on people. we can't fix it if we rely on those people. we can't solve that problem. [applause] we can't solve our problems if we are going to just go back and rely on these politicians, because that is what we have been doing. only by changing to new leadership and new solutions will we get new and great results. thank you. we need to stop believing in politicians and start believing in our great country. [applause]

before everything great that has happened, the doubters have always said it could not be done. they say it right now, it could not be done. they actually said it when i ran for political office, not going to happen. it happened. prove the ready to doubters wrong. they want you to think small. i am asking you to think big. we are ready to dream great things for our country, once again. we are ready to show the world that america is back, bigger and better and stronger than ever before. thank you very much and god bless you. thank you very much. [cheering and applause]

thank you very much. [applause] >> thank you, ladies and gentlemen. i want to apologize to all of you and to mr. trump for the disruptions. that is not what the detroit economic club is all about. and nobodyfollow-ups will be allowed back in any of our meetings that behave that way. my apologies to you. on a brighter note, how awesome that governor pence came along

with mr. trump. thank you so much. if you would all like to join us for lunch, we will have a strolling lunch. we need you to leave through this door. the food is in the next ballroom and you can eat in the atrium, outside on the patio, so please join us and thank you for coming. with that, this meeting is adjourned. [applause. ] >> it was called a speech an economic policy but it was quite broader than that, donald trump speaking to the economic club on the economy, taxes and regulation in trade, but more, things like crime and punishment, veterans and more. we would love to hear your reaction as well. here is the number two join the conversation.

three months until election day, and some real policy now, announced from donald trump in a number of areas. dominated they first part of the conversation in detroit. on the corporate tax proposal, touting corporate tax drop. he also talked about other issues, education and childcare and said further policies will be rolled out. after we finish with your comments and phone calls, we

will show you the speech once again in case you missed it, mike pence, the vice president, but he also spoke and we will re-air all of it tonight at 8:00 eastern. esther in ohio, a trump supporter. caller: we are so happy to see donald trump on stage. we have been supporting him ever since he started to run. i wanted to let you know, we have eight people in our family, and we are all for donald trump and we thought he had a wonderful speech. host: jackie, next up on the others' line, new york city. caller: thank you. shock that anyone can support this person. he is insane. all you have to do is read the new york times like i do and all of my friends do, every single

day, there are articles. today, charles blow in an op-ed, donald trump's troubles in the black belt. every single day, bad, bad businessman. they have been doing this for a year. anyone who is a critical thinker cannot possibly be backing this mentally ill person. he should be checked by a psychiatrist at the mayo clinic. he is insane. host: there were numerous interruptions. people at the washington post keeping track of those. some 14 or 15 interruptions in this speech that with a little bit over an hour or so. economy,sue of the donald trump, who actually does not allow washington post reporters into his campaign events quoted a washington post piece that was published on the front page about how the clintons record -- about hillary

clinton's record as senator. they write that in her presidential bid, hillary clinton has made job creation a centerpiece of her platform, but nearly eight years after her senate exit, there is little evidence that her programs had a sustainable impact on -- on upstate employment. again. we will re-air of the donald trump speech tonight at 8:00 eastern, and this coming on today, seven weeks away from the start of the presidential debates. there will be three presidential debates, beginning on monday, september 26 in new york. sunday the ninth, washington university in st. louis and october 19, at the university of not -- university of nevada.

in virginia, we go to a trump supporter. know,: i just want you to i am a supporter of donald trump, i think he will fix the economy and i do want him to build that wall. i do believe he will bring jobs back where they belong. factories and like you said, we shall explode. host: what is the job situation where you are in mark -- where you are? caller: there are jobs, but not many. right now, i got laid off and i am looking, but i think he is the answer to the job market. he is a businessman. he will fix all of that. there is only one thing that scares me about him, he is a

very headstrong person, and he does not like listening to if there would ever be a world war iii, it might happen with him because he is so bullheaded. do you think that headstrong nature of donald trump as you described it is the sort of president you want in terms of negotiating trade deals or in terms of his interactions with our trading partners? caller: exactly, and i hope he stands up for what he is saying, today and if he does, and i know gets intry, and once he the, because i know he will, things are going to change. host: let's hear from james on the other line from ohio. tell us the name of your town. caller: i am in dallas -- gallup

ohio. i am on the ohio river. host: go ahead with your comment. caller: i don't like donald trump. he is not fit to be president. he is talking about bringing ties,ack, but all of his his dinnerware, everything that he makes is made overseas. people for his hotels from other countries. if he is going to hire people like that and make all of this how in the overseas, world is he going to bring jobs back to the united states? i think it is wrong and i think he is a liar.

i will not vote for him and i hope everybody listening to me will vote their conscious. he seems a total idiot when it comes to talking about the other countries. the way he talks about it is wrong. host: here is nancy, who supports donald trump. i am calling in regards to supporting donald trump. host: go ahead. caller: i feel that it is time for a change, and i believe that changingump will be the way our government is, today, and i can't believe that anybody would want hillary

withon in the white house, all i hear is negative about dhat donald trump has promise to do for the country, when she , andold nothing but lies he is not a politician, he claims not to be a politician, he is a businessman, and i think he is going to bring this country around, turn it around and be on the right path. host: this theme has been to make america great again. the used a , today, all for a new future. we are getting your reaction to the detroit speech. we will show it again, momentarily and once again at 8:00 eastern. you can always find it again on our website, c-span.org. it has been a couple of weeks

since the republican convention in cleveland, and the democratic convention in philadelphia, the next landmark or -- we are looking for is the three presidential debates coming up, seven weeks from now. monday, september 26, the first debate. sunday, october 9 and wednesday, after the, the bumps convention the candidates get may have dissipated. a poll this morning just came out in new jersey. clinton opens a postconvention lead. say that hillary clinton has taken a double-digit lead over donald trump according to the latest university poll. currently warty 6% of registered voters support hillary clinton.

registeredy 46% of voters support hillary clinton. in georgia, on our others line. caller: hello. say, as icalling to watch, i don't listen to much of the news, but i always wait to see what donald trump is going to do, what he is going to say. say they continues to wall, make america great, those are his words over and over again. i'm not hearing exactly how he is going to do this. when we finally do the debates, that is what it is going to come down to, because he has not given us anything about what he is going to do. host: donald trump today

following through with some of his comments a week ago, over the next couple of months unveiling some policies, certainly unveiling some today on taxes and regulation, some specifics. on the campaign front, the fundraising front, abby livingston tweets about some of the stops for donald trump in texas, adding a ft. worth fundraiser. brookhaven, new york and a trump supporter. caller: good morning. i would like to voice my opinion. is head andld trump shoulders over hillary clinton in terms of his ability to get the employment rate -- unemployment rate under control. his ability to negotiate with

these foreign trade deals that have absolutely crucified the -- facturing and i think that sometimes he speaks off-the-cuff and because he is not a politician, but he has the expertise to get these things done. take a look at his businesses that he runs. billions of dollars worth of construction. he brings an in, under budget and under time, because he runs a great organization and he just has a natural ability to make our country great again. host: you can send us a tweet. referring back to another caller talking about where donald trump makes his ties. i don't see anything wrong with outsourcing ties while bringing

what appears to be economic gain to the u.s. -- gains to the u.s. marina in new york city, go ahead. caller: i wanted to say that i think donald trump is the answer, going forward. hillary clinton and her pack have had their chance, they have been around a long time. they have been encircled by scandal after scandal and it is by a baz -- by avast right wing conspiracy that she would have you all believe. they are documented liars, they are only cravenly ambitious for their own wealth, as was demonstrated when she made a tour of the world with her hand out for donations to the clinton foundation. if you wonder why she was made secretary of state, obama and clinton were at such odds after

the election, that he wanted her as far away out of state as he could possibly get her, because he did not want her in there. between his alliances with the muslim brotherhood and hers with her assistant being active in the muslim brotherhood, i have nothing against muslims, i have nothing against anybody, nor does mr. trump. people, that he does not hate people, he is a very intelligent man, he loves this country, he doesn't have to be running for this round of abuse after abuse. he gets it from all sides because everyone is afraid he is going to shake up status quo. host: donald trump certainly did try to compare his policies to hillary clinton. the washington journal tracking his speech writing that it 10 -- try to cast other clinton's government appeal to much on

regulations. -- by promising twice as much infrastructure spending as the democratic nominee. a couple more calls, we go to munro, louisiana. caller: yes. you are kind of breaking up. trump is think donald -- host: i am losing you, sorry about that. huntington station, richard in virginia. caller: huntington station, new york. i think tilting the wall and kicking illegal immigrants out is $25united states, it

billion a year being spent on this country. people in my experience spend hundreds of dollars a week for their country, money taken out of our economy. that is a major issue with me. it definitely hurts the economy. the government wants you -- why not a great businessman to try and run the country? it can't hurt us and can only improve our military, economy, wages, taxes. i believe in this man. i have been waiting many years for this man to arrive. speech from-ranging donald trump that touched a little bit on immigration, certainly a lot on the economy, on taxes, trade. and regulation we will show all of it again tonight at 8:00 eastern and you can find it online at c-span.org.

next up, we will show you the speech. donald trump is introduced by his fight presidential running mate, governor mike pence. [applause] >> thank you. thank you members of the board, members of the reception committee and the detroit economic club. i am grateful for that warm welcome. few short weeks ago as a fellow myth -- midwesterner, as a governor from the state just south of here that i was humbled to accept the republican nomination, to run and serve as vice president of the united states of america.

[applause] in the midst of the we get economic recovery since the great recession, today at this historic forum, the republican nominee for president of the united states will do what so many american leaders have done before, at this very podium. simply put, today, you will hear your keynote speaker outline a vision, a new economic vision to make america great again. [applause] it is an honor for me to introduce him, and man who i have just gotten to know, personally over the last couple of months, but we have become fast friends. it seems like someone i have known all my life. like so many other american entrepreneurs throughout our history, donald trump is a

dreamer, a builder, a driver. he is a man who speaks his mind. say, also a man i would what is so refreshing about donald what explains the connection that he is literally made to millions of americans is because, even as he has built skyscrapers to the sky, to the summit of our largest cities, he has never forgotten the men and women who work with their hands, who grow our food, who build our roads, who attend our sick, who protect our families. to see him far off the campaign trail, among the people that have worked with him and for him for years, you see that connection. aroundund is level donald trump and he is the kind of leader continuously asking questions of everyone at every

level in his organization. it is truly inspiring to watch him work. he is quite the contrast of the other party's nominee. they tell us this economy is the best we can do, that the american people. they know it is different from that. 1.2 quarter gdp report, seven wrote, the slowest since 1949. extraordinary to think -- inipation rate in our labor in america is the lowest since 1970. the heartbreaking of all is number of americans living in poverty have increased nearly 7 million over the last seven and a half years. the american people know it is nowhere near the best we can do, it is just the best they can do, and donald trump will lead this nation back to a dynamic and growing economy that works for all of our people.

today, donald trump will outline an economic vision that will unleash the boundless potential of the american people and the empoweringonomy by working families, businesses large and small, and entrepreneurs to hire, invest, and to build and grow, and to produce here in america again. [applause] privilege but it is also a high honor for me to introduce to you a man who i believe will make america great again, and will be the next president of the united states of america. your speaker, donald trump. [applause]

>> thank you, everybody, thank you very much. you. such a crowd, beautiful. thank you. thank you for the invitation to speak to you today. it is wonderful to be in detroit. i have been here many times. we now begin a great national conversation about economic renewal for america. it is a conversation about how to make america great again, for everyone, especially for those .ho have the very least

the city of detroit is where our story begins. detroit was once the economic envy of the world. the people of detroit help to power america to its position of global dominance in the 20th century. [crowd boos] [applause] >> thank you. thank you very much. when we were governed by the america first policy, detroit was absolutely booming. engineers, builders, laborers, shippers, and countless others went to work each day, provided for their families, and lived

out, totally, lived the american dream. but for many living in this city, that dream has long ago vanished, when we abandoned the policies of america first. we started rebuilding other .ountries instead of our own the skyscrapers were not in beijing and many other cities around the world while the factories and neighborhoods crumbled right here in detroit. our roads and bridges fell into disrepair, yet we found the money to resettle millions of refugees at taxpayer expense. today, detroit has per capita income of under $15,000, about half of the national average. 40% of the city's residents live in poverty. over 2.5 times the national average.

the unemployment rate is more than twice the national average. half of all detroit residents do not work. detroit tops the list of the most dangerous cities in terms of violent crime. [crowd boos] [applause] >> thank you. detroit tops the list of most dangerous cities in terms of violent crime. these are silent victims whose stories are never told by hillary clinton, but victims whose suffering is no less real or permanent.

in short, the city of detroit is the living, breathing example of my opponent's failed economic agenda. [applause] every policy that iledhas fa this city and so many others is a policy supported by hillary clinton. she supports the high taxes and radical regulation that forced jobs out of your community, and the crime, policies have made you far less safe, and immigration policies that have strained the local budgets, and the trade deals like that stuff -- nafta, signed by her husband, shifting your jobs to mexico and other countries, and she supports the education policies that denies your students

choice, freedom, and opportunity. [applause] she is the candidate of the past. ours is the campaign of the future. this is a city controlled by democratic politicians at every level. unless we change policies, we will not change results, 100%. [applause] today, i will outline my economic vision. in the coming weeks, we will be offering more detail on all of these policies, and the ones that we have already rolled out -- [crowd boos]

[applause] >> thank you, everybody. this is what happens when you go from 35 people to close to 2000 people, i guess. in the coming weeks, we will be offering more detail on all of these policies, and the ones that we have already rolled out can be viewed on my campaign website. our opposition, on the other hand, as long ago run out of ideas. all hillary clinton has to offer is more of the same, more taxes, more regulations, more bureaucrats, more restrictions on american energy, and on american production. more of that. if you were a foreign power looking to weaken america, you

could not do better than hillary clinton's economic agenda. [applause] nothing would make our foreign adversaries happier than for our country to tax and regulate our companies and our jobs, right out of existence. the one common feature of every hillary clinton idea is that it punishes you for working and doing business in the united states. [applause] every policy she has tilt the playing field toward other countries, at our expense, and that is why she tries to distract us with tired political rhetoric that seeks to label us, divide us, and pull us apart. my campaign is about reaching out to everyone as americans and

returning to a government that puts the american people first. [crowd boos] [applause] >> thank you. here is what an american first economic plan looks like. first, let's talk tax reform. taxes are one of the biggest differences in this race. hillary clinton, who has spent her career voting for tax increases, plans another massive job killing $1.3 trillion tax increase. big increase.

one of the biggest ever. her plan would tax many small businesses by almost 50%. recently, at a campaign event, hillary clinton -- you know this, you have heard this one. hillary clinton short-circuited again, to use a now famous term, when she accidentally told the truth and said she wanted to raise taxes on the middle class. [applause] i am proposing an across-the-board income tax reduction, especially for middle income americans. this will lead to millions of new and really good paying jobs. the rich will pay their fair share, but no one will pay so much that it destroys jobs, or undermines our ability as a nation to compete. [applause]

as part of this reform, we will eliminate the carried interest deduction. [crowd boos] >> thank you. as part of this reform, we will eliminate the carried interest reduction, and other loopholes that have been good for wall street investors, and people like me, but unfair to american workers. tax simplification will be a major feature of the plan. [applause] our current tax code is so burdensome and so complex that we waste 9 billion hours a year

in tax code compliance. my plan would reduce the number of brackets from seven to three and dramatically streamline the process. we will work with house republicans on the plan using the same bracket they have proposed, 12%, 25%, and 33%. for many american workers, their tax rate will be zero. we will develop -- [crowd boos] >> we will develop our own

services and policies, agreeing in some areas but not in all or others. we will be focused on the same shared goals and guidance, the same shared principles. jobs, growth, and opportunity. [applause] these reforms will offer the biggest tax revolution since the reagan tax reform, which unleashed years of continued economic growth and job creation. we will make america grow again. [applause] in the days ahead, we will provide more details on this plan, and how it will help you, and most importantly, your family. it will present a night and a

day contrast to the job killing, tax raising, poverty inducing obama-clinton agenda. [applause] so important, the state of new york has already lived through hillary clinton's failed leadership. "the washington post" today published an article on her broken promises. she pledged 200,000 jobs for upstate new york when she was a senator. what happened? the washington post writes and i quote, upstate job growth stagnated overall during her tenure with manufacturing jobs

plunging to record-setting levels, nearly 25%. the former first lady was totally unable to pass big-ticket legislation. many promised jobs. many promised. i remember so well. hillary, i will bring you jobs. vote for jobs, she will bring back jobs. many promised jobs never materialized and others migrated to other states. she turned her first presidential run, which also was a disaster. [applause] thank you.

then it shows that upstate actually lost jobs, a lot of them, during her first term. she was all talk, no action, upstate new york, a disaster. it is a disaster, what's happened to upstate new york. nafta is a big reason. compare that to my record. in a recent new york post article, how donald trump helped save new york city. the paper writes that i, and this is a direct quote, in other words, not from me. [crowd boos]

thank you. all very well planned out. [applause] this is a direct quote. donald trump waded into a landscape of empty 5th avenue. the dust balls, central park so dangerous and a wall street area seemingly on its last legs as companies moved out. then, almost by sheer force of will, he rode to the rescue, expressing rare faith in the future. he was instrumental in kickstarting the regeneration of neighborhoods and landmarks,

almost given up on for dead. i did not say it, they said it. this is what i want to do. [crowd boos] remember, new york city was a disaster. we made it great. this is what i want to do. thank you. this is what i want to do for our country. i want to jumpstart america, and it can be done, and it won't even be that hard. [applause] let's look at what the obama policies have done nationally.

their policies produced 1.2% growth, the weakest recovery since the great depression. a doubling of the national debt during the obama years. there are now 94.3 million americans outside of the labor force. it was 80.5 million when president obama took office, an increase of 14 million people. the obama/clinton agenda has created a silent nation of jobless americans. homeownership is at its lowest rate in 51 years. [shouting]

[crowd boos] [applause] thank you very much. i will say the bernie sanders people had far more energy and spirit. [applause] nearly 12 million people have been added to the food stamps and these people are growing and growing so rapidly. since president obama took office. another nearly 7 million people, great americans are right now living in poverty.

we have the lowest labor force participation rates in four decades. 58% of the african-american youth are either outside of the labor force or not employed. one in five american households do not have a single member in the labor force, not a single member of the household. these are the real unemployment numbers. the 5% figures is one of the biggest hoaxes and american modern politics -- in american modern politics. [applause] meanwhile, american households are earning more than $4000 less

today than they were 16 years ago. the average worker today pays 31.5% of their wages to income and payroll taxes. on top of that, state and local taxes consume another 10%. a very grim picture. the united states also has the highest business tax rate among the major industrialized nations of the world, at 35%. almost 40%. [shouting] [crowd boos] [applause] it's almost 40% when you add in taxes at the state level and in many cases and many states, it

is higher than that. in other words, we punish companies for making products in america, but let them ship products into the united states tax-free if they move overseas. this is backwards. all of our policies should be geared toward keeping jobs and wealth inside of the united states. [applause] under my plan, no american company will pay more than 15% of their business income in taxes. [applause] in other words, we are reducing

the taxes from 35% to 15%. thank you. small businesses will benefit the most from this plan. hillary clinton's plan will require small business to pay as much as three times more taxes than what i am proposing. her regulations will put them totally out of business, and you won't be able to start. you cannot ever start a small business under the tremendous regulatory burden that you have today in our country. we are going to end it. i am going to cut regulations massively.

massively. [applause] our lower business tax will also end job killing corporate inversions and cause trillions in new dollars and wealth to come pouring into our country. by the way, into cities like right here in detroit. [applause] to help unleash this new job creation, we will allow businesses to immediately expense new business investment. no one will gain more from these proposals than low and middle income americans. [applause] my plan will also reduce the cost of childcare by allowing parents to fully deduct the average cost of childcare spending from their taxes.

[applause] we are also going to bring back trillions of dollars from american businesses that are now parked overseas. they can bring their money back into our country. our plan will bring that cash home, applying only a 10% tax. this money will be reinvested in states like michigan. [applause] states like michigan which are having serious. -- serious problems. finally, no family will have to pay the death tax. american workers -- [applause] american workers have pay taxes their whole lives and they should not be taxed -- it is

just plain wrong and most people agree with that. we will repeal it. next comes regulatory reform. as with taxes, i will have one overriding goal when it comes to regulation. i want jobs, and i want wealth to stay in america. motor vehicle manufacturing is one of the most heavily regulated industries in the country and even in the world. the u.s. economy today is 25% smaller than it would have been without the surge of regulations since 1980. it is estimated that current overregulation is costing our

economy as much as $2 trillion a year. that is money taken straight out of cities like detroit. so many of our cities are suffering so gravely, right out of detroit and others. the federal register is now over 80,000 pages long. at the wall street journal noted, president obama has issued close to 400 new major regulations since taking office, each with a cost to the american economy of $100 million or more. in 2015 alone, the obama administration unilaterally issued more than 2000 new regulations, each a hidden tax on american consumers and a massive lead weight on the american economy. it is time to remove the anchor

dragging us down, and that is what it is doing. it is dragging us down. [applause] upon taking office, i will issue a temporary moratorium on new agency regulations. [applause] my running mate, mike pence, a great guy, signed -- [applause] signed a similar order when a -- when he worked so hard in indiana as its governor. this will give our american companies the certainty they need to reinvest in our communities, get cash off of the sidelines and start hiring, new jobs and expanding their businesses. that is what it's about.

i will also immediately cancel all illegal and overreaching executive orders. [applause] next, i will ask each and every federal agency to prepare a list of all of the regulations they impose on americans which are not necessary, do not improve public safety, and which needlessly kill many jobs. those regulations will be eliminated quickly. [applause] we are in a competition with the world, and i want america to win. [applause]

we don't win anymore, but when i am president, we will start winning again, big-league. [applause] one of the most important reforms of all is trade reform. as bernie sanders has said, hillary clinton has bad judgment. we have seen this bad judgment overseas, in libya, iraq and syria. we have seen it in iran, we have seen it from president obama when he gives $150 billion to iran, the number one terrorist state and even gives them $400 million in money laundered cash as a ransom payment. we have also seen the terrible obama, clinton judgment, right here for everybody to see in detroit.

hillary clinton has supported the trade deals, stripping this city and this country of its jobs and it's well. she supported bill clinton's nafta. she supported china's entrance into the world trade organization. she supported job killing trade deals, and that was a really bad one, with south korea and she supports the transpacific partnership. not now, but very soon, if she wins. that will be a disaster for detroit and everybody else. [applause] let's talk about south korea, because it is perfectly illustrating the broken promises that have hurt so many american workers. president obama and the usual so-called experts who have been wrong about every trade deal for decades predicted that the trade

deal with south korea would increase our exports to south korea by more than $10 billion, resulting in 70,000 jobs. like clinton's broken promises to new york, these pledges all turned out to be false. instead of creating 70,000 jobs, it has killed nearly 100,000 jobs according to the economic policy institute. our exports to south korea have not increased at all, but their imports to us have surged more than $15 billion, more than doubling our trade deficit with that country. what else is new? it is happening with everyone. the next the trail will be the transpacific partnership. hillary clinton's closest friend confirmed what i have been

saying, and this is from the beginning. if sent to the oval office, she will enact the tpp as sure as you are sitting there. her donors will make sure a vote for hillary clinton is a vote for the tpp, and it is also a vote for nafta. our annual trade deficit in goods with mexico has risen from close to zero, think of that, close to zero in 1993 to almost $60 billion today. our total trade deficit in goods hit nearly $800 billion last year. almost $800 billion. this is a strike at the heart of michigan and our nation as a whole. according to the bureau of labor statistics, before nafta went

into effect, there were 285,000 autoworkers in michigan. today, that number is only 160,000 autoworkers. detroit is still waiting for hillary clinton's apology. she has been a disaster. obama has been a disaster. i expect detroit will get that apology right around the same time hillary clinton turns over the 33,000 e-mails she deleted. [applause] hillary clinton's transpacific partnership will be an even bigger disaster for the auto industry and even worse than nafta. believe me. ford motor company has announced its opposition to the deal. according to the economic policy

institute, the u.s. trade deficit with the proposed tpp member, all the member countries, cost is over one million manufacturing jobs in the year 2015. by far, the biggest losses occurred in motor vehicles and parts, which lost nearly 700 -- 740,000 manufacturing jobs. what are we doing? michigan ranks first for jobs lost as a share of trade workforce due to the deficit with tpp members. imagine how many more automobile jobs will be lost if the tpp is actually approved. it will be catastrophic. that is why i have announced we will withdraw from the deal before that can ever happen. [applause]

hillary clinton will never withdraw from tpp. she is bought, controlled and paid for by her donors and special interests. [applause] because my only interest is the american people, i have previously laid out and detailed a seven point plan available on my website. it includes strong protections against currency manipulation, tariffs against any countries that cheat by unfairly subsidizing their goods, and it includes a total renegotiation of nafta, which is a disaster for our country, a total renegotiation. [applause]

if we don't get a better deal, we will walk away. at the center of my plan is trade enforcement with china. this alone could return millions of jobs to our country. china is responsible for nearly half of our entire trade deficit. they break the rules in every way imaginable, including militarily. china engages in illegal exports , subsidies, prohibited currency manipulation and rampant that of intellectual property. it is out of control. they also have no real environmental or labor protections, further undercutting american workers.

just enforcing intellectual property rules alone could save millions and millions of american jobs. [applause] according to the u.s. international trade commission, improved protection of america's intellectual property in china would produce more than 2 million more jobs right here, right now in the united states. [applause] add that to the same jobs protected from enforcing -- cracking down on cheating and currency dumping and we will bring new wages back to our country, the united states of america. thank you. [cheering and applause] so simple.

trade has big benefits. thank you. trade has big benefits, and i am in favor of trade, but i want trade deals for our country that create more jobs and higher wages for american workers. isolation is not an option. [shouting] [crowd boos] thank you. isolation is not an option. only great and well-crafted trade deals where we are once benefit instead of being taken advantage of.

we are going to benefit, and our workers are going to benefit or we will not make those deals. also critical to our economic renewal will be energy reform. the obama/clinton administration has blocked and destroyed millions of jobs through their anti-energy regulations while raising the price of electricity for both families and businesses. as a result of recent obama epa actions, coal fired plants across michigan have either shut down entirely or undergone expensive conversions, making them noncompetitive. the obama/clinton war on coal has cost michigan over 50,000 jobs. hillary clinton says the plan will put a lot of coal companies

and coal miners out of business. we will put our coal miners and our steelworkers back to work, where they want to be. [applause] clinton not only embraces president obama's job killing energy restrictions, but wants to expand them, including going after oil and natural gas production that employs some 10 million americans. according to the heritage foundation, by 2030, the obama/clinton energy restrictions will eliminate another half a million manufacturing jobs, reduce economic output by $2.5 trillion and reduce income by $7,000 per person. a trump administration will end this war on the american worker

and unleash an energy revolution that will bring fast new wealth to our country. according to the institute for energy research, lifting the restrictions on all sources of american energy will do the following. increase gdp by more than $100 billion annually. add over 500,000 new jobs annually and increase annual wages by more than $30 billion over the next seven years. [applause] additionally, it will increase federal, state and local tax revenue by almost $6 trillion over four decades. increase total economic activity by more than $20 trillion over the next 40 years. the reforms i have outlined

today are only the beginning. when we reformed our tax, trade, energy and regulatory policies, we will open a new chapter in american prosperity, which is so desperately needed. we need a new chapter. we can use this new wealth to rebuild our military which is desperately needed and our infrastructure. as part of this new future, we will also be rolling out proposals to increase choice and reduce cost in childcare, offering much-needed relief to american families. they are suffering. we are going to get them as much needed relief. i will unveil -- thank you. i will unveil my plan on this in the coming weeks that i have

been working on with my daughter, who is here. [cheering and applause] stand up. she feels so strongly about this. an incredible team of experts. likewise, our education reforms will help parents send their kids to a school of the work -- of their choice. it will be so good for detroit. we will also give our police and law enforcement the funds in support they need to restore law and order to this country. [applause and cheering] thank you.

without security, there can be no prosperity. [shouting] [crowd boos] without security, there can be no prosperity. we must have law and order. we must have law and order. [applause and cheering] by the way, our police in this country are really unrecognized for the incredible job that they do. thank you. [applause] in the coming days, we will be

rolling out plans on all of these items. one of my first acts as president will be to repeal and replace disastrous obamacare, saving another 200 million american jobs. [cheering and applause] we will also rebuild our military and get our allies to pay their fair share for the protection we provide to them, saving us countless more billions of dollars to invest in our own country. [applause] we also have a plan on our website for complete reform of the veterans administration. [applause]

this is something so desperately needed, to make sure our that's -- vets are supported and get the care they deserve, which they have not been getting, not even close. [applause] detroit, the motor city, will come roaring back. [cheering and applause] we will offer a new future, not this same old failed policies of the past. our party has chosen to make new history by selecting a nominee from the outside, and that is outside of the very, already proven rigged system.

the other party has reached backward into the past to choose a nominee from yesterday who offers only the rhetoric of yesterday and the policies of yesterday. take a look at what happened to new york state manufacturing and take a look at her promises before this happened. there will be no change under hillary clinton, only four more years of weakness and president obama. we are going to look boldly into the future. we will build the next generation of roads, bridges, railways, titles, seaports and airports. that is what our country deserves. american cars will travel the

roads. american planes will connect our cities. american ships will patrol the seas. [applause] american steel will send new skyscrapers soaring all over our country. we will put new, american metal into the spine of this nation. [applause] it will be american hands that rebuild this country, and it will be american energy mind from american sources that powers this country. it will be american workers who are hired to do the job.

americanism, not globalism, will be our new credo. our country will reach amazing new heights, maybe heights never obtained before. all we have to do is stop relying on the tired voices of the past. we can fix a rigged system by relying on the people and just remember, this is so important, we are reliant on people. we can't fix it if we rely on those people. we can't solve that problem. [applause] we can't solve our problems if

we are going to just go back and rely on these politicians, because that is what we have been doing. only by changing to new leadership and new solutions will we get new and great results. thank you. we need to stop believing in politicians and start believing in our great country. [applause] before everything great that has happened, the doubters have always said it could not be done. they say it right now, it could not be done. they actually said it when i ran for political office, not going to happen. it happened. america is ready to prove the doubters wrong. they want you to think small.

i am asking you to think big. we are ready to dream great things for our country, once again. we are ready to show the world that america is back, bigger and better and stronger than ever before. thank you very much and god bless you. thank you very much. [cheering and applause] thank you very much. [applause] we were shown to speech again tonight at 8:00 on c-span, and you can watch and share on www.c-span.org. on this economy issue, hillary clinton will have her
