neil: all right, he's early. donald trump speaking to the national guard association, an ideal opportunity to address what's going on with hillary clinton and poll numbers that are tight, you name it. donald trump now. >> kept our citizens safe at home and rushed into danger wherever it had threatened our people. our debt to you is eternal. yesterday was the 15th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. the national guard was sent to assist in the aid and recovery and these are serious, serious bad days for our country. the recovery efforts at ground zero in new york city, and i was there, i know what you went through.

since 9/11 there are 780,000 members of the national tbaurd deployed overseas including those with multiple deployments, right now 10,000 members of the national guard are in iraq, afghanistan, and many other countries all across the world and doing an unbelievable job. members of the national guard come from all walks of life, work at every kind of job imaginable and juggle a thousand different challenges as they raise their kids, serve their states and answer the call of duty for their country. i'm given the honor of serving at your president, which i think will happen and soon we will find out. [cheers and applause] >> and if it does happen, i will pledge to give you the resources, the equipment and the support you need and deserve and

that you're not getting. [cheers and applause] >> you will have a true and loyal friend in the white house, whether you vote for me or whether you vote for someone else, i will be your greatest champion. i will not let you down. i am running to be a president for all americans and i've intn specially humbled to have the support of so many men and women in uniform. [applause] >> all americans, you know what i mean. all across this country, i've met so many incredible members of both military and law

enforcement community. there's nothing i've enjoyed more than the time i've spent with our service members, police officers and also our firefighters and paramedics. they embody the goodness and decency of our country. i was deeply shocked and alarmed this friday to hear my opponent attack, slander, smear, demean these wonderful amazing people who are supporting our campaign, by the millions. our support comes from every part of america and every walk of life. we have the support of cops and soldiers, carpenters and many working-class families who just want a better future and a good job.

these were the people hillary clinton so viciously demonized. these were among the countless americans that hillary clinton called deplorable, irredeemable and un-american. nobody has heard anything like this. she called these patriotic men and women every vile name in the book. she called them racist, sexist, xenophobic and called half of our supporters a basket of deplorables in both the speech and interview. she divides people into baskets as though they were objects, not human beings. hillary clinton made these comments at one of our -- her

high-dollar fundraisers in wall street. she and her wealthy donor all had a good laugh. they were all laughing, good, good solid laugh. they were laughing at the very people who pave the roads, i mean, and these are the roads that she with all of her security drive on. paint the buildings, she speaks and importantly all of the other functions. all functions in life including this auditorium and its maintenance. hillary clinton is an insider supported by powerful insiders attacking americans who have absolutely no political power. hillary clinton spoke with hatred for the people who make this country run. she spoke with contempt with the

people who thankfully follow the rules, pay their taxes and scratch out a living for their family, a hard-earned living too. while hillary clinton lives a sequestered life behind gates and guards, she mocks and demeans hard-working americans who only want their families to enjoy a fraction of the security enjoyed by our politicians. after months of hiding from the press, hillary clinton has revealed her true thoughts. that was her true thoughts. she revealed herself to be a person who looks down when the proud citizens of our country as subjects for her rule, she views it at her rule. her comments display the same sense of arrogance and

entitlement that led to violation of federal law as secretary of state, high and -- hide and delete her emails. nobody has done that before. put classified information in the reach of our enemies, lied to congress and sell government favors in excess through her foundation. it's the same attitude that explains why hillary clinton refuses to take accountability for the deadly disaster she helped to create in iraq, syria and libya. to this day, she won't take accountability for her role in unleashing and that's what happened, unleashing isis across the middle east or for putting iran on a path to nuclear weapons. and as far as isis is concerned, probably unleashing isis here.

we better be very, very, smart tough and vigilant or we are going to have big problems. hillary clinton believes she's above the law,hat she's above accountability and that she is above each each and every one of you. our campaign is about giving voice to the voiceless. it's about representing the forgotten men and women of this country and they have been forgotten. i mean here to represent every one but specially those who are struggling against injustice and unfairness. i am running so that the powerful can no longer beat up on the powerless. i'm run to go take on the special interest, the big donors and the corrupt political insiders, and, of course, never

forget the special interests. i am running to be your voice. hillary clinton is a voice for wall street, for hedge-fund managers, for top 10% and really the top 1% and even less than that. just look at the people funding hillary clinton's campaign and paying for her speeches tremendous amounts of money and you know who she will be representing if she ever won, which i don't believe is going to happen. [cheers and applause] >> in fact, if you look at the recent polls, the ones over the last few days, we are doing very well. that i can tell you. [cheers and applause]

>> disqualifies her from public service. you cannot run for president if you have such contempt in your heart for the american voter and she does. you can't lead this nation if you have such a low opinion for its citizens. hillary clinton still hasn't apologized to those she slandered. in fact, she hasn't backed down at all. she's doubled down on campaign conspiracy content and if hillary clinton doesn't retract her comments in full, i don't see how she can credibly campaign any further. let's be clear. these were not offhand comments from hillary clinton. these were remarks not at all

but given in an interview and probably in a number of interviews. these were lengthy planned and prepared remarks. it was perhaps the most explicit attack on the american voter ever spoken by a major party presidential nominee. total disrespect for the people of our country. clinton was using a very deliberate page from the democratic play book with one of the names, those names -- really, in order to scare and i mean trying seriously scare the amount of voting for change. we are bringing change. she can't bring change. she's been doing this for 35 years. she now talks about change. there's no change. it's going to be more of the

same, only worse, it's going to be four more years of barack obama, only worse. she just took it to a whole new level by applying it to tens of millions of people. she used the vial words in order to intimidate citizens out of seeking government reform and there will be reform. there has to be reform. people who want their immigration laws enforced, we have no choice, we have to do that, and their borders secured are not racists, they're patriotic americans of all backgrounds who want the jobs and families protected, people who warn about radical islamic terrorism are not islamphobes. they are not. they are decent american

citizens who want to uphold our tolerant values and keep our country safe. people who support police and who want crime reduced and stopped are not prejudice and are not bad people. [applause] >> they're concerned and loving citizens whose hearts break any time an innocent child is lost and often times killed to preventive violence. hillary clinton doesn't have to worry about sanctuary cities or jobs moving overseas where so many are moving. she's protected from her own policies. the policies of hillary clinton

have produced failing schools, shrinking incomes and the tragic povoerty and jobless inner cities. our campaign are dedicate today changing policies to make life better for all americans. [applause] >> we are the campaign of school choice. we are the campaign dedicated to improving economic conditions for every african american and hispanic worker. and we are doing amazingly well with african american and hispanic workers. you've been seeing that over the last week. we are the campaign that will deliver a government of by and for the people.

this change agenda includes a new military policy. we are going to put the failed policy of the past, and there are many, behind us, ideally way behind us. we will empower our generals to do the job that they were hired to do and that begins with the feeding and destroying isis. [applause] >> thank you. instead of endless wars, we want a real plan for victory. [applause] >> we will abandon the policy of reckless regime changed favored by my opponent and we will

instead work with our allies to advance the core national security interest of the united states. america first, remember that. america first. [applause] >> my plan calls for a major rebuilding of the entire military and the elimination of the -- we have to do this so quickly, it's a disaster, of the defense sequester. it is a disaster. [cheers and applause] >> have no choice. it is a disaster. it's called depletion. we have been depleted as a military. we can't let that happen. the greatest men and women on earth but we have been depleted by what's taken place. in this rebuilding, we will

provide our national guard with the best modern state of the art equipment in the world far none. [applause] >> the natiol guard is often the first and the last line of defense for our people. you were there when the hurricanes and floods and tornadoes strike, always amazing me, the courage, the care, the love that you give, amazing. and the danger is beyond and you were there to protect civilians in times of unrest and you are there to respond to every natural disaster. you deserve a government that recognizes and honors your contribution and that ensures you how the resources you need to get the job done and to get

the job done right. [applause] >> right? in a trump administration, the national guard will always have a direct line to the oval office, and i mean, direct. [cheers and applause] >> you will have an administration that never loses sight of the vital contribution and you will have a president that speaks up for the national guard at every single turn. [cheers and applause] >> the incredible members of the national guard have sacrificed

life and limb for our freedom, safety and our country. we will never forget our heros, their families and the ones they've left behind. our gratitude is and will be ever lasting. we will protect those who protect us and we will follow your example of unity working in common purpose and for a common cause. we will be one people under one god saluting one american flag. [cheers and applause]

>> we will rebuild our military and our country. we will make america strong again. we will make america safe again and we together will make america great again. thank you very much, everybody. god bless you. neil: all right, you've been listening on donald trump speak of
