It was excellent. But im standing there shaking hands with club members. Nice people. Great people. Probably some here today. Anybody here . Is anybody here from that club that was very nice . Anybody here . Because i took so many pictures that day. Dy that. I did it as a favor. And other things. He asked me, would i come up and make a speech on behalf of james foley . Ill do that any time. I think that was good. And i made a big contribution, a very big contribution to james foley. And i think thats fine. And i think thats fine. But i came up, i made a speech. I did a lot of things. So, i have millions and millions of followers, especially when you add facebook. Its like 5. 6 million for twitter, over 5 million for facebook, instagram its like 11, 12 million people. And i said, what is it . He said, would you do me a favor . This is a few weeks ago. Chris christie did not make the main stage. I would like you to do me a favor and tweet, and tweet that Chris Christie should be on the main stage. I said, but, joe, i mean, he didnt make it because he didnt make it, right . You have to go through, you have to get a certain number of points on the polls. Will, he didnt make it but he should be there. Would you tweet . I said, ill tweet. So i put out a tweet. What am i going to say . I figured id be nice. Can you imagine a guy calling me up, knowing hes going to endorse a guy, asking me to use my twitter to put him in. Other than that, i mean, the guys bad news. Hes not a talented guy. Then i get a letter, you wont believe this. I had to take the glasses out because this is worth while to read. I get a letter from one of his top people. Listen to this. Just got it recently. Its to amanda, thats my person in charge, from robin wilson. The union leader. Hope all is well and that you had a wonderful holiday season. Happy new year, amanda. Im emailing today because i wanted to let you know about a special edition well be doing just before the New Hampshire primary called voters first. I have attached a letter that explains what will be included along with the rate card. This guy wants advertising. We just got the letter. Its a personal letter. Its not a letter out from a computer. Theres a perfect edition for you. I really hope youll consider running an ad. Please let me know as soon as possible. Robin wilson, advertising manager. Okay. Im saying, i dont believe it. The girl walked up, she said, mr. Trump, whats going on here . My girl was even surprised. She didnt even know about it. Then the next page, this, then its the next page after that. Think of this, this guy is running a newspaper into the ground. I mean, you had a guy, mr. Loeb was like this legendary guy. Look, twopage spread, 7,500. Back cover for only 3,500. Does anybody want the back cover of a newspaper that lost all credibility . Ill take it. Ill give you 500. Inside back, the union leader, okay . Thats not the way you do business and you have a guy whos out of control, thinks hes hot stuff. Hes not hot stuff. Anyway, i just had to bring this up. It shows the dishonesty with the media. It really does. The media is very dishonest. Although i have to tell you, Time Magazine did a cover story of me this week. Its one of the best stories ive ever read about myself. And its really not about its true. But its really not about myself. Its really about you. Its about a movement thats going on. And ill tell you what, i was ive been on the cover of time now a number of times in the last three months. Obviously, i should have been picked as person of the year, right . Do you agree . I think the reason daisht reason the reason yeah, maybe next year. Next year would be even better because we can prove we can do things. They didnt and they picked angela merkel, who is i mean, do you see whats going on . We talk about immigration, we talk about borders. Do you see what shes done to germany . Just coming over just before this morning, im watching television, the rapes, the riots, whats happening is unbelievable. Its unbelievable. Unthinkable. Theyve been there for two weeks. And the place is going to hell. She got person of the year. I didnt. I guess i came in second. They felt guilty so they gave me another cover. Have you to go out and get Time Magazine because its talking about a movement of great people. Its a Movement Like they havent seen. Many people are saying, theres never been anything like this in this country, whats taking place like us. Not me. Im a messenger. Its with us an amazing, an amazing thing. Im very proud of that story because that was a story. Usually ill get a story and they usually put a shot in. Three good paragraphs and one total killer. Then five good paragraphs and just a total killer. You tell people, dont read it. The killers make up for it. They have to do it. And theyre dishonest. The Time Magazine piece, theyre pretty liberal. This time cover story is amazing. It talks about what weve done and what weve accomplished. Lets talk a little about what were doing in terms of the competition and then were talking about the problems of the country and how to fix the problems. Basically, how to fix the problems, elect trump as president , okay . We can cut it short. You know what we can do . Thats right, president obama, youre fired. Thats an easy one. Thank you. Got a very enthusiastic person. So, ted cruz is a problem. Hes got a problem. If you know congressman alan gray son said hes going to bring a major suit. The suit is going to say that he wasnt born in this country. So, whether you like it or not, ted has to figure it out. You cant be having a nominee if he got i think theyre going to win very solidly, if you want to know the truth. If you get a nomination, you cant have the person who gets the nomination like Hillary Clinton, who might be sued. Shell be sue on the emails. The emails i mean, she should not be running. Oeshlgs, would i love to run against bernie. I would love oh. I mean, can you imagine remember they took the microphone away. Get off the stage. They told him, this is our president. He goes like this. Oh, excuse me. And everyones out there saying, get off the mike. We wanted to hear him. He walked back like a little puppy. This is going to be our puppy. I would love, fbi, please, go after hillary. I want to run against bernie oh, thats a dream come true. This guy, he would make some president. 90 tax, everybody. Does anybody mind paying 90 . Because you go with bernie, youll have yourself a nice 90 tax. He wants to take it all away from you. Hes sort of dampening a little bit. He wants to keep it a little low key. He wants a big, fat, beautiful tax. And i dont think the people here are going to go for that very easily. But i want to run against bernie. Thats my dream. Thats my dream. Thats the one i really want. But hillary will be fine. The poll just said, we beat hillary. Fox poll just out, we beat hillary. Honestly, well take anybody. With the people we have, with the movement we have, and we have, by far, the largest audiences and in all fairness, bernie is second but way down by comparison to the audiences we get. Were going to pensacola next week. They dont even know if they can have it in the whole i mean, they can the number of people showing up at pensacola, its unbelievable. But we had 20,000 people recently, 21,000, 35,000 in mobile, alabama. 20,000 in dallas, texas. The maverick arena filled up. Its unbelievable the crowds we get. And its only determined by the size of the space. And i want to thank the fire marshal because he allowed a lot of people in here. They have people standing at doors. Nothings going to happen, but people standing at the doors. The fire marshals are the most important people to me because they let us get more people into the rooms. Every one of them, theyve been great. I appreciate that. But ted cruz has a problem because the question is, is he a natural born citizen . The question was asked on meet the press, asked of me by Chris Wallace this weekend. I said, i dont know. Nobody knows. And lawrence tribe of harvard, a constitutional expert, one of the best in the country, said, and i wrote it down, this is not a settled matter. Its wrong to say it is a settled matter because its absolutely not. Its not a settled matter. That means a lot of people think you have to be born here. You have to be born on this land. Now, john mccain, a lawrence tribe representative of john mccain, he was born outside of the United States but he was born on a military base to two people in the military. Thats different. I would never question that. But in the case of ted, he has to figure it out. I think he can go in for some kind of judiciary proceeding. Look, doesnt matter what he does. You cant have a nominee whos going to be subject to being thrown out as a nominee. You just cant do it. So, youre going to make that decision, folks. I mean, its one of those little decisions. Im sure ted is thrilled im helping him out, but i am. I mean, hes got go and hes got to fix it. One thing i will say, just to finish, so i have a very strong immigration policy. When i brought up immigration, i mean, it was brought up strongly in my speech, in my opening remarks. I said, wall and i said all sorts of things, right . Thats good. Well, well, low key because i havent no, no, low key. Okay, ready . We will build a wall build that wall whos going to pay for the wall . Who . Mexico so you know what im saying. Ive been saying this for a long time. Yesterday or two days ago they showed me teds plan and it said he never said this. It said, it begins by building a wall. Its amazing how far people have come. Then triple the number of Border Patrol officers. Thats me. Implement everify. Thats me, too. By the way, ted happens to be a very good guy. Theyre all good people. But they all like when i was taking heat, Rush Limbaugh said, nobody has ever received more incoming. And its true. When i announced, i said, boy, for two weeks, i said, is it going to be like this always . It was brutal. Then all of a sudden a lot of things started happening. Crime statistics started being looked at. Kate was killed in san francisco. Beautiful kate by an illegal immigrant, shot in the back. You had jameel in california, who i think his father is one of the greatest people. I got to know his father over this. Jameel shore, whos a young man getting ready to go to college, good football player, good student. He was killed, shot in the face three or four times by an illegal immigrant just walking down the sidewalk going back home to his father. You have the woman in los angeles who was a veteran. 65 years old. Raped, sodomized and killed by a person that should have not been in this country. Illegal immigrant. And all of a sudden everybodys coming my way. Theyre all saying, well, wow, you know, hes right. I dont have any i mean, you remember how crazy it was. Macys was were a member of inclusion. We consider ours very inclusive, they would tell us. They got fined 650,000 for all sorts of discrimination and theyre always being looked at. As soon as i its not a big deal, folks. Shirts and ties. I didnt like the ties that much anyway. They were made in china. How disloyal is macys . I tell people, dont shop there anymore. And their stock has tubed. You see what happened to their stock . Can i take credit, the fact they dont sell my shirts and ties there . The company went to hell. Its unbelievable. Donald trump in wyndham, New Hampshire. Youve heard about him talking about the polls. He is leading in New Hampshire. Talking about the big paper in New Hampshire, which did not endorse him. It endorsed ted cruz i mean, Chris Christie.

Wyndham, New Hampshire, for an event billed as a town hall. Presumably he will take questions. Before that, though, hes giving a speech. As part of his speech now, every single day, ted cruz brings up donald trump, brings up ted cruz and where ted cruz was born. Wondering out loud if ted cruz is eligible because he was born in canada to be president of the United States. I just dont know. Thats what donald trump says. Inside that room, with donald trump, watching this event right now, our chief political reporter dana bash. Dana, this is now an everyday occurrence. How is the crowd taking it . Reporter you see, by the way, hes still speaking over my left shoulder. Absolutely, this is something hes repeating over and over again. As we heard live, he says hes doing it to help ted cruz. Hes a friend of his. He wants to get it out of the way before he before ted cruz is the nominee, if he is, and democrats go after him. The answer to your question may surprise you. I spent some time walking through this crowd before donald trump came in asking whether or not the people here, most of whom support donald trump, some are candidate shopping, but most are donald trump supporters, if its an issue that ted cruz thinks its an issue cruz was born in canada. Most said they didnt think it was an issue. Most shrugged their shoulders saying, its nothing to worry about. Those voters who are republicans saying if hes the nominee, theyll support him wholeheartedly and not worry whether or not hell get the party tied up in courts as donald trump is warning. Do you think for some reason this is maybe not an issue for New Hampshire voters but it could it is more of an issue for iowa voters because obviously when you look at the polls, thats where ted cruz is a very big threat to donald trump . Reporter its a great question. I was with ted cruz for a few days last week in iowa. As you said, that is the place where the Cruz Campaign is hoping to pull off a win. And trump is, you know you look at some polls, closer to him than he was before. It is possible that it could be more of an issue there. But, you know, i think the bottom line is, and weve seen this so many times from donald trump over the past six months, he is whether its going to be overt or just kind of under the radar, hes trying to sow seeds of doubt about ted cruz in a kind of pointed way, in a way that people might not even understand themselves that they see or feel. But that is no question whats going on here. He is a master marketer and thats what this is about. Youre seeing it on stage today. It was yesterday in nevada. Were going to see just about every day this week. A busier week than usual for donald trump on the trail. Dana bash, well let you get back to watching this event. Well check in with you in a little bit if and when donald trump makes more news. If he starts taking questions because thats often where theres interesting back and forth with those in the audience. Right now lets bring in democratic strategist and cnn political commentator Donna Brazile and bruce haynes. Thanks for joining us. You were listening in to donald trump as we were. Bruce, as donald trump started off, he talked about the polls. Hes talking about the polls in New Hampshire where he has a solid lead. He says, thats beautiful. A very different i dont know what kind of descriptor he would say in talking about the fight, though n iowa. Thats where the heat is on despite the temperatures for donald trump. Neck and neck with ted cruz. Do you think donald trump can pull it out in iowa . What do you think . I think he can. You know, again, hes right. There is the one thing that sanders and the trump campaigns have in common is this sense of passion among people supporting him. The sense that its a movement. You know, the real question is going to be cruz comes from politics. Its a close primary. Hell know who his people are and hell have a machine built to turn them out. Its one thing to answer the phone or survey and say, im for donald trump. Its another thing to trudge out in the snow on a cold night three weeks from now in iowa, show up, raise your hand in front of everyone in the room and say, im for donald trump. Thats what he has to deliver on to get the win. If hes able to do that, it will be something weve never seen before. Something ive never seen before in New Hampshire, polling, Donna Brazile. Let me pull up the New Hampshire poll right now. Trump is way out front on the republican race. Hes at 30 , doing very well. Look at the grouping behind him. Marco rubio, Chris Christie, ted cruz, jeb bush, and john kasich. They are all bunched together right there. Sort of four establishment lane guys, plus ted cruz. How do you break through there . These guys obviously now battling
