we would've had soldiers there guarding this a valuable supply of oil. in the old days when we won a war, to the victor belong the spoils. [applause] instead, all we got from iraq and our adventures in the middle east was death, destruction, and tremendous financial loss. but it's time to put the mistakes of the past behind us and chart a new course. [applause] >> if i become president, the era of nationbuilding will be brought to a very swift and decisive end. [applause]

thank you. a new approach which must be shared by both parties in america, by our allies overseas, and by our friends in the middle east. must be to halt the spread of radical islam. [applause] all actions should be oriented around this goal, and any country which shares this goal will be our ally. very important. some don't share this goal. we cannot always choose our friends, but we can never fail to recognize our enemies. [applause] as president i will call for an international conference focused on this goal.

we will work side-by-side with our friends in the middle east including our greatest ally, israel. [applause] we will partner with king abdullah of jordan, and the president of egypt, president sisi, and all others who recognize this ideology of death that must be extinguished. [applause] we will also work very closely with nato on this new mission. i had previously said that nato was obsolete because it failed to deal adequately with terrorism. since my comments they have changed their policy, and now have a new division focused on terror threats. very good. very, very good. i also believe that we could find common ground with russia in the fight against isis.

wouldn't that be a good thing? wouldn't that be a good thing? [applause] they, too, have much at stake in the outcome in syria, and have had their own battles with islam and terrorism, just as bad as ours. they have a big, big problem in russia with isis. my administration will aggressively pursue joint and coalition military operations to crush and destroy isis. international cooperation to cut off their funding, expanded intelligence sharing, and cyber warfare to disrupt and disable their propaganda and recruiting. they recruiting is taking place right now, and they are setting records. it's got to be stopped. [applause] we cannot allow the internet to

be used as a recruiting tool, and for other purposes by our enemy, we must shut down their access to this form of communication and we must do it immediately. immediately. [applause] unlike hillary clinton who was risk of so many lives with her careless handling of sensitive information, my administration will not telegraph exactly military plans and what they are. [applause] and by the way, what's happened with her 33,000 e-mails is an absolute disgrace to the united states of america. [applause]

i've often said that the great general douglas macarthur of the great general george patton would be in a state of shock if they were alive today to see the way president obama and hillary clinton tried to recklessly announce their every move before it happens. like they did in iraq, so that the enemy can prepare and adapt. their enemy says thank you. the fight will not be limited to isis. we will decimate al-qaeda, and we will seek to starve funding. [applause] for iran backed hamas and hezbollah.

so important. [applause] we can use existing u.n. security council resolutions to apply new and even stronger sanctions. military, cyber, and financial warfare will all be necessary to dismantle islamic terrorism. but we must use ideological warfare as well. very important. and they use it on us better than we have ever even thought of using it on them, but that will change. just as we want -- thank you. just as we won the cold war in part by exposing the evils of communism and the virtues of free markets, so, too, must we take on the ideology of radical islam. while my opponent accepted millions of dollars in foundation donations from

countries where being gay is an offense punishable by prison or death, my administration will speak out against the oppression of women, gays, and people of different beliefs. [applause] our administration will be a friend to all moderate muslim reformers in the middle east, and will amplify their voices. this includes the jihad against the horrible practice of honor killings where women are murdered by their relatives are dressing, mary are acting in a way that violates fundamentalist teachings. over 1000 pakistani girls are estimated to be the victims of honor killings by the relatives each year. recently a prominent pakistani social media star was strangled to death by her brother on the

charge of dishonoring the family. in his confession a brother took pride in the murder and said girls are born to stay home and follow traditions. shockingly, this is a practice that has reached our own shores. on such cases, and many, many cases have happened, but won't involve an iraqi immigrant who was sentenced to 34 years in jail for running over his own daughter, claiming she had been too westernized. to defeat islamic terrorism we must also speak out forcefully against a hateful ideology that provides the breeding ground for violence and terrorism to grow, it's a breeding ground. it's a terrible, terrible breeding ground. a new immigration policy is needed immediately and as well. [applause]

that common thread linking the major islamic terrorist attacks that have recently occurred on our soil, 9/11, the fort hood shooting, the boston bombing, the san bernardino attack, the orlando attack can't is that they have been called immigrants or the children of immigrants. clearly, new screening procedures are needed to. [applause] on review by the u.s. senate immigration subcommittee has identified 380 foreign-born individuals charged with terrorism or terrorism related offenses. between 9/11 and 2014, and many more since then, and this year is a record for identification. it's gotten worse, far worse.

we also know that isis recruits refugees after their entrance into the country, as we've seen with the somali refugee population in minnesota. beyond terrorist as we've also seen in france, foreign populations have brought their anti-semitic attitudes with them. in cologne germany on new year's eve, we have seen the reports of sexual violence and assault far greater than anybody knows. pew polling shows that in many other countries from which we grow large number of immigrants, extreme views about religion such as the death penalty and for those who are involved, the death penalty is very, very common. if you don't have the faith that they demand you have it a top administration will establish a clear principle that will govern all decisions pertaining to immigration.

and we will be tough. we will be even extreme. [applause] we should only admit into this country those who share our values and respect our people. in the cold war, we had an ideological screening test. that time is overdue to develop a new screening test for the threats we face today. i call it extreme vetting. i call it extreme, extreme vetting. our country has enough problems. we don't need more. these are problems like we have never had before. [applause]

in addition to scrape out all members of the sympathizers of terrorist groups we must also screen out any hostile attitude towards our country or its principles, or who believed sharia law should supplant american law. [applause] those who did not believe in our constitution or the support bigotry and hatred will not be admitted for immigration into our country. [applause] only those who we expect to flourish in our country and to embrace a tolerant american society should be issued visas.

safe to resume based on new circumstances or new procedures. the size of current immigration flows are too large to provide adequate screening. [applause] we have been about 100,000 permanent immigrants from the middle east every year. the size of current immigration flows are simply too large to

perform adequate screening. [applause] we admit about 100,000 permanent immigrants from the middle east every year. beyond that, we admit hundreds of thousands of temporary workers and visitors from the same regions. hundreds of thousands. if we don't control the numbers, we can perform adequate screening. there is no way it can take place. [applause] by contrast, my opponent wants to increase, which is unbelievable. new matter who you are or where you come from, once to increase by flow of syrian refugees 550% from what they are now. [boos] the united states subcommittee

on immigration estimates hillary clinton's plan would meet 526,000 refugees from all refugee sending nations. in her first term, assuming no cuts to other refugee programs. so it could get worse. additional to all other non-refugee immigration. unbelievable numbers. the subcommittee plan would impose a lifetime cost of $400 billion. when you include the cost of health care, welfare, housing and schooling and all other entitlement benefits excluded from the state department's policeman figures. think of this. $400 million.

in short, hillary clinton wants merkel.merica's angela and you know what a disaster this massive immigration has been to germany and the people of germany. crime has risen to levels people thought they would never see. it is a catastrophe. we have enough problems in our country. we don't need more. lastly, we will need to restore commonsense to our security procedures. another common feature of the past attacks that have occurred on our soil is that warning signs were totally ignored. fraud allijackers had over their visa applications. almost everyone of them. it said practically invisible

letters, "fraud." [laughter] and nobody saw it. the russians warned us about the boston bombers. attackers were even twice interviewed by the fbi. very sad. the female san bernardino statements, she was here on a fiance visa. which most people have never even heard of. from saudi arabia. and she wanted to support very openly jihad online. these are the people we are taking in. a neighbor saw suspicious behavior, bombs on the floor. and other things. [laughter] authorities,arn

because they said they did not want to be accused of racial profiling. dead and many more are gravely wounded. the shooter in orlando purportedly celebrated in his classroom after 9/11. he too was interviewed by the fbi. his father, a native of afghanistan, supported the oppressive taliban regime and expressed anti-american views very strongly. way, was just seen the behind hillary clinton with a big fat smile on his face all the way through her speech. he obviously liked what she had to say. it's called weakness. it's called stupidity.

then we had it. [applause] the shooter delivered a presentation to a remote mental health works in which he threw out one red flag after another. that we loveaimed death more than you love life. not good. these warning signs were ignored because political correctness has replaced common sense in our society. [applause] [chanting "trump"] mr. trump: thank you. that is why one of my first acts

as president will be to establish a commission on radical islam. which will include reformist voices in the muslim community, who will hopefully work with us. andant to build bridges erase divisions. the goal of the commission will be to identify and explain to the american public the core convictions and beliefs of radical islam, to identify the warning signs of radicalization, and to expose the networks in our society that support radicalization. this commission will be used to develop new protocols for local police officers, federal investigators, and immigration screeners. and while i'm at it, we should give a hand to our great police officers. [applause]

[chanting "trump"] mr. trump: thank you. we will also keep "common of a and place a renewed --keep open guantanamo bay and place a renewed emphasis-- [applause] we will also use drone strikes to seek high intelligence targets to dismantle their organizations. [applause] triedn combatants will be in military commissions. [applause] finally, we will pursue aggressive criminal or

immigration charges against anyone who lends material support to terrorism. there will be consequences for those people. there will be very serious consequences. similar to the effort to take down the mafia, this will be the understood mission of every federal investigator and prosecutor in the country. [applause] to accomplish a goal, you must state a mission. the support networks for radical islam will be removed one by one, viciously if necessary. viciously if necessary. [applause] immigration officers will also have their power is restored. [applause] they have been taken away. those that are guests in our

countries that are preaching hate will be asked to return home immediately. and if they don't do it, we will return them home. [applause] to make america safe again, we must work together again. our victory in the cold war relied on a bipartisan and international consensus. that is what we must have to defeat radical islamic terrorism. [applause] we couldn't defeat communism without acknowledging that communism exists, or explaining its horrible evils, we can't defeat radical islamic terrorism unless we do the exact same thing. we have to explain that it exists and explain the

difficulties. we have to have a leader that can do that, and we don't have that now. [applause] but this also means that we have to promote the exceptional virtues of her own way of life. country,n exceptional an exceptional way of life, but it's being trained on basic -- being read on by sick people. as newcomers come into our society, they will likewise have respect and do the same thing. pride in our institutions, our history, and our values should be taught by parents and allhers and impressed upon of those who come into our society and want to join it. [applause] assimilation is not an act of hostility, but an expression of

compassion. our system of government and american culture is the best in the world and will produce the best outcomes for all who adopted. -- who adopt it. [applause] [chanting "u.s.a."] mr. trump: thank you. this approach will not only make us safer, but bring us closer together as a country. renewing the spirit of americanism will help heal the divisions in our country, of which there are so many. we had a divider as president. we call him the great divider. it's the thing he does best. [applause] it will do so by emphasizing what we have in common, not what

pulls us apart. this is my pledge to the american people. as your president, i will be your single greatest champion. [applause] i will fight to ensure that every american is treated equally, protected equally, and honored equally. [applause] we will reject bigotry and hatred and depression in all of its many ugly forms -- and oppression in many of its ugly forms. as one american people. make --lay will we will we make america great again and safe again for everyone. thanks very much.

god bless you. [applause]
