9:37 pm
>> at a campaign rally, donald trump was critical of hillary clinton's policies. this event was held in florida just outside of fort myers. ♪ mr. trump: wow. thank you.
9:38 pm
thank you so much. what a crowd. and outside we have many more people than this outside. it is incredible. it is incredible. [applause] really incredible. thank you very much, it is great to be back in florida, my second home, you know. we love florida. this was a great victory for us in the primaries, and this is what is going to take us over the top in the general election, november 8.
9:39 pm
and we are going to make our country great again. we are going to do some of, some job. thank you. we are doing very well in the polls and we are leading in many states, including the great state of florida. and we do expect to win florida. i really expect it. it is going to happen. we're going to win florida. we are going to win back the white house, and we are going to be so happy with winning again, right. our country is going to win again. but today we have some very, very serious matters to discuss. let me begin by thanking our incredible law enforcement officers who do not get the credit they deserve.

9:40 pm
[applause] but when i am president, they will get the credit they deserve. what a fantastic job they do. what a fantastic job they do. incredible. there have been islamic terrorist attacks in minnesota and new york city and in new jersey. these attacks and many others were made possible because of our extremely open immigration system, which fails to properly vet and screen the individuals and families coming into our country. got to be careful. attack, after attack, from 9/11 to san bernardino, we have seen how failures to screen those who are entering the united states puts all of our citizens, everyone in this room, in danger.
9:41 pm
so let me say very, very clearly. immigration security is national security. my opponent has the most open borders policy of anyone ever to seek the presidency -- [booing] mr. trump: as secretary of state she allowed thousands of criminal aliens to be released into our communities because their home countries would not
9:42 pm
take them back. they did not want to them. they did not want them. they were too bad. they said, keep them, united states, and she did nothing about it. now she wants a 550% increase in syrian refugees above the high numbers we have already had. altogether, her plan to bring in 620,000 refugees in her first term with no effective way to screen them -- in terms of lifetime welfare, benefits, and entitlement costs. you cannot have vetting if you do not look at ideology can and hillary clinton refuses to look at an applicant's ideology -- this is not just a matter of terrorism. this is a question of quality of life.
9:43 pm
we want to make sure we are only at many people into our country to love our country. we want them to love our country. [applause] and we want them to love our people. we support immigration that strengthens and uplifts our nation, people who come here, they support our values, and they want to uphold the constitution. my highest duty as president is to protect our citizens and to uphold the constitution of the united states.
9:44 pm
i will honor that duty to the fullest extent every single day, and i will never waiver, and i consider that a sacred obligation, sacred. [applause] it is just a plain fact that our current immigration system makes no real attempt to determine the views of the people entering. since 9/11, hundreds of immigrants and their children from high-risk regions have been implicated in terrorism and terrorist-related activity in the united states -- hundreds and hundreds. the senate subcommittee on immigration, chaired by senator jeff sessions, who is a truly great senator and man, has released this information in great detail, and we encourage you all to look at up.
9:45 pm
now we learn today that another 858 immigrants from dangerous countries have slipped into our country and have been granted full citizenship despite pending deportation orders. these are people that were supposed to be deported, and they were given full citizenship. they made a mistake. this is totally unacceptable. altogether, there are nearly one million individuals in the united states with deportation orders who have not yet been removed. in the 20th century, the united states defeated fascism, nazism, communism. now we must defeat radical
9:46 pm
islamic terrorism. [applause] yet the president of the united states -- or my opponent -- and both will not even say the words "radical islam terror." [booing] hillary talks tougher about my supporters and she does islamic terrorists, right? she called patriotic americans who support our campaign, many of the cops and soldiers, deplorable and irredeemable, and she means it. millions and millions of people -- has she ever talked that way about radical islam? no.
9:47 pm
or about those who murder women and gays overseas? has hillary clinton ever called people who called these practices irredeemable were deplorable? let's ask hillary clinton how many people support the oppression of nonbelievers would you call the poor or irredeemable, or are those were words only reserved for hard-working americans who truly love our country and want to make a statement? to hear the words hillary clinton uses, what could be forgiven in getting the impression that she thinks these hard-working americans are somehow a greater threat to our
9:48 pm
country than islamic extremists. this summer there has been an isis attack launched outside the war zones of the middle east every 84 hours. in america, we have seen one brutal attack after another. have you ever seen anything like what is going on in our country? can we do not do anything? people were murdered and 30 were wounded in the assault on fort hood. the boston marathon bombing made 268 people, and left five people dead, including two police officer. in chattanooga, five unarmed marines were shot and killed at a military recruiting center. last december 14th innocent americans were gunned down in a
9:49 pm
party -- an office party -- in san bernardino, and another 22 were horribly injured. in june, 39 americans were executed at the pulse nightclub in orlando, and another 53 were injured terribly. it was the worst mass shooting in our history, and the worst attack on the lgbtq community in our history. in europe, we have seen the same carnage and bloodshed come to our closest allies. in january 2015, a newspaper was attacked for publishing cartoons of the prophet mohammed. 12 were killed, including two police officers and 11 were wood. --were wounded. two days later, four were murdered in a jewish daily. november 2015, terrorists went on shooting and went on a rampage, and this you heard and you will never hear the end of
9:50 pm
it -- one of the worst things that anybody has ever seen that they went on a rampage, they slaughtered 130 people and wounded 360 people, so greatly wounded that many are still in the hospitals and they will never be the same. in march of this year, terrorists detonated a bomb in the brussels airport, killing 32 and injuring 340 people. this july the south of france, and islamist terrorist turned his chart into an instrument of mass murder, killing 85 men, women, and children, and wounding 308 people. among the dead were two americans, a texas father and his 11-year-old son. shortly after that, in germany, a refugee armed with an ax wounded five people in a gruesome train attack.
9:51 pm
this summer an isis killer invaded a christian church in normandy and forced an 85-year-old priest to his knees and slit his throat in front of his congregation. christians driven from their homes and hunted for extermination. isis rounding up what it calls the nation of the cross in a campaign of genocide -- horrible genocide. we cannot let this evil continue. cannot do it. cannot do it. nor can we let the hateful ideology of radical islam, it suppression of women, gays, children, and nonbelievers be allowed to spread within our country.
9:52 pm
just cannot do it. we will defeat radical islamic terrorism, just as we have defeated every threat we have faced in every age before. but we will not defeat it with closed eyes or silent voices. anyone who cannot name our enemy is not fit to lead this country. >> usa! usa! usa!
9:53 pm
mr. trump: do we love our country? >> [indiscernible] [applause] mr. trump: thank you. greatest people on earth. greatest. we have a lot of great people. we have a lot of great people on earth, but we have to fight the bad ones. you have to do together. anyone who cannot condemn the hatred of the oppression, and violent of radical islam lacks the moral clarity to serve as our president. just remember, doing it for many, many years, and now she is saying what she is going to do.
9:54 pm
she very much caused the problem, when you think about it. her weakness, her ineffectiveness caused the problem, and now she wants to be president. i do not think so. the commander in chief of this nation must speak with moral clarity and conviction. our system of government is the best in the world, and as your president, i will defend our values and speak out against all of those who assault our values in any way, shape, or form. [applause] we will be united -- thank you. we will be united and unified as americans across all backgrounds and all walks of life. today we had caught this evil five completed the bombs. thug who planted the bombs. thank you, law enforcement. thank you, police.
9:55 pm
but the bad part -- now we will give him an amazing hospitalization. [booing] he will be taken care of by some of the best doctors in the world. he will be given a fully modern and updated hospital room. and he will probably even have room service, knowing the way our country is. and on top of all of that, he will be represented by an outstanding lawyer. his case will go through the various court system for years, and in the end, people will forget and his punishment will not be what it once would have been. what a sad situation.
9:56 pm
we must have speedy, but fair trials, and we must deliver a just and very harsh punishment to these people. we must also use whatever lawful methods are available to obtain information from the apprehended suspect, to get information before it is no longer timely. and congress should pass measures to ensure that foreign enemy combatants are treated as such. these are enemies. these are combatants. and we have to be strong. hillary clinton is a weak and ineffective person, and i will tell you, if you choose donald trump, these problems are going to go away far, far greater than anybody would think.
9:57 pm
believe me. she is a weak and ineffective person. just for member that. hillary clinton -- and they are looking -- they want her so badly. they want her so badly. >> [yelling] mr. trump: they want her so badly to be your president, you have no idea.
9:58 pm
it will be a field day. so hillary clinton's policies in iraq, libya, syria, other places, are largely responsible for the rise of isis in the first place. her attacks on me are all meant to deflect from her record of unleashing this monster of evil on a and all over the world -- evil on us and all over the world -- this was something she told today, that it is my strong opposition to these people that is a recruiting tool and it demonstrates a level of ignorance about the terror threat and its motivations -- now, let me just tell you -- she is not the right person to solve a problem that largely her and obama gave us, that obama gave us. it disqualifies her from being a credible presidential candidate, in my opinion.
9:59 pm
what do i know? in my opinion, does everybody agree with me or not? that is all we need, is four more years of obama, except worse. and i will say this, you see that in the polls, you see that over, you see it outside -- she has very, very, very low levels of enthusiasm. i think a lot of people will not bother to go to the polls and vote for her, but i know our people, and this is also in the polls, the highest level of enthusiasm that they have seen.
10:00 pm
we are going to vote. [applause] [applause] obama-clinton have been silent about islamic terrorism for many years. has not listened to recruiting, but has increased it. that is what has happened. in this weakness, it invites ingress and -- aggression. of a brutalhe face enemy, and they have become
