So i always talk to reporters why are you now saying somethingses that youre saying i said for months because aye been talking about real ideas and they dont cover them. I give speeches about educationing and they ignore it. I give speeches about health care and they ignore it, but you talk about it you talk about anything that has nothing to do with that, and they jump all over it. It leads the newscast. What a sad indictment on the state of the political debate in this country today. [applause] so from time to time i read the main tweet, but i never stop talking about the ideas you deserve to have. Theyre on my website go on it now. Not now, when youre done, marco rubio. Com and youll see we have a real plan to fix our tax code. We have a real plan to roll back regulation. We have a real plan to save Social Security and medicare. We have a real plan to balance our budget one of the most embarrassing moments in the last debate is when donald trump was asked about the debt and he said were going to get rid of the waste and abuse and theres fraud and abuse yeast our debt is so big even if you got rid of it wouldnt make a dent. Instead of pressing him on it they move on to the next question. This has happened for far too long. Consequences are too high you deal with the debt. I have a plan to rule with the debt you can see it on our website. Were going to fully utilize our Energy Resource when is im president of the United States of america. [applause] when im president were going to have a lot more than just getting rid of the lines around the state. [applause] that happen in a debate, yeah im going to get rid of the lines around the state. Around the state. When i did it it was a catastrophe he did it, he was on message. [applause] somebody said to me well maybe that means donald trump is a robot suspect that what he said you were. But if he was a robot, he was made in china. [applause] i have a real plan on health care, and thats why i can tell you this with certainty. When im president of the United States, we will repeal and we will replace obamacare. [cheering and applause] were going to keep our country safe again. Thats the motion important job of the federal government. Okay. The most important job of the president of the United States is to be the commander in chief. The president of the United States has access to these Nuclear Codes by the way, that give you access to the most powerful military force in Human History people should think about that before they vote. Okay, access to Nuclear Codes. The president of the United States has power to send your son and your daughters and your loved ones off to die in the service of our country. I want you to think about that before people vote. And today niki already talked what weve done to our military and gutting of the military that the president has undertaken and one of the most shameful is donald trump knows nothing about the military and hes going to hire best people to work for him. Best people already work for us there are generals and commanders in the military. [cheering and applause] and by the way, if he knew anything about this he would know that you can put best people in the world in a room and theyre going to give you conflicting opinions and then buck stops on the president to choose between those different opinions the right route forward, and this guy has zero understanding of anything serious when it comes to defense or Foreign Policy and this is not an issue you can take a course in at trump university. [applause] you have to know about this on your first day in office. You have to know about this on your first day in office. We cannot elect this president of the United States a man who believes that the Nuclear Triad is a Punk Rock Group from the 1980s. [applause] defense spenting not the cause of our debt and that is why when im president of the United States we will undertake a reagan restyle bill of the United States military. [applause] were going to have a real war on terror. A real war on terror is not talking tough. A real war on terror is not outrageous an outlandish claim was what youre going to do. It sounds cool and funny to listen to on tv sometimes it sounds tough and doesnt solve jr. Problem. It doesnt involve your problem. You need a real war on terror when had best intelligence agencies find them and best military in the world destroys them and one in which if you capture terrorists alive, they dont get the right to remain silent. They go to a Court Hearing they go to guantanamo. [applause] when im president , were going to have a Foreign Policy of moral clarity again which means were allies to our ally and to our enemies dont therefore test us. You have up donald trump thinks that Vladimir Putin is a fascinating man they thinks theyre going to get well. Vladimir is a proven killer. This guy poisoned people with radio active material. He ordered people to be poisoned this guy is not a game. Hes not some Real Estate Developer from across the country youre doing a deal with. Okay hes a guy that is showing instability in the middle east and europe he provided weapons to shoot down that malaysian aircraft over ukraine hes not playing around. He will take advantage of donald trump or o anyone who is not prarred prepared for that position. One of the most outrageous things thats happen haded over the last eight years how this president has undermined our alliance with israel. [applause] israel, israel is the nation with a special purpose. Israel is not just another country. Israel was created as a home lanked for the jewish people after the holocaust. Israel is the only Free Enterprise in the entire middle east. Donald trump was asked are you going to take sides between israel and its enemies he said no im neutral because i want to work out a deal. Let me tell you guys something when im president were going to take sides. Were going to be on israels side. [applause] and everyone is going to know that. Because on my fist day in office as soon as i walk into the Oval Office Im going to cancel of iatol of iran. Were going to take care of our veterans, not use them as a prop which is way too many politicians do. [applause] the first gentleman of South Carolina nikis husband is a veteran. My brother is a veteran. He served in the special forces of a green bray. If you are a veteran, will you raise your hand so we can thank you for your service. [applause] flesh [applause] everyone running for office says identify done it. Bernie sanders and i [inaudible] thank you. We need to support you. Bernie sanders and i do not agree on many things hes a socialist, i am not. But we Work Together on something that we can agree on that is if you work at the v. A. And youre a Senior Executive and not doing a good job we should have the power to fire you, and weve past that. Donald trump says he cares about veterans but whats his record . Ill tell you his record. His record was that he asked the city of new york toe victim Homeless Veterans because there were nuisance in front of tump towers thats his record. His record is when he skipped debate in iowa he said he was doing event to raise money for veterans group. You know how much money they got out of that and previous event, zip. This is not a game. They are not props. We are going to take care of our veterans. When im president of the United States, veterans theyre good people at the v. A. And if theyre doing a good job we thank them but if youre not when im president you will be fired from your job at the v. A. [applause] when im president , our veterans will not be there begging v. A. For their benefits but take their benefits to any hospital, any doctor that they want to go to. [applause] by the way, i was in virginia last night, all day we had five stops there, four stops there, and we were reminded of many our veterans do not serving when they come home. If you go to any fire station in many america youre going to meet veterans. If you go to any Police Department in america, youre going to meet veterans. And yesterday or the cay before couple of days ago in virginia, there were three Police Officers shot. One of them was on the first day on the job a marine reservist and she died on her first the job and she was a veteran. Lives matter, not only do Blue Lives Matter [applause] but i want to thank our veterans and our Police Officers and our firefighters but what they do for our country. An that is why the stacks are so high. These are sampling of the issues before our country. If we get these wrong because we lost the election, because we nominated someone that has no idea what theyre going to do about it. Because we elect someone whose views on these issues are opposed to where we need to go as a country, then i can tell you that i honestly believe that our children are are the First Americans that inherit haded them in this country. Thats never happened in the 200 year history of america. But im running for president not because im worried about the future but because im hopeful about it. Because i know i know our government is messed up. I know our government has a lot of the problems. I know that our leaders and many instances are not best and are not doing the best. But i know that america is not a government. America is a country, a made of its people. We have a government. But our government doesnt define us. Our people do. I know that this morning people across this country got up and went to work. And they to took their familiess to school, and theyll come home tonight to raise kids and feed them and theyll go and start businesses and had this weekend theyll volunteer in their charity, commons and they give hours and money to their churches. I know that people all across this country are touching lives one life at a time. People out there if they see someone in need of help they direct it to themselves. [applause] an the great thing about this campaign is i have met so many of them. In South Carolina, i met an incredible woman whoever single day is saving lives at a pregnancy crisis center, in which shes taking in young and scared girls and convincing them that all human life is worthy that all human life is loved by god. [applause] i know people in miami, florida, who are taking care of Homeless Veterans not through a government grant. But out of their own pocket. An theyre not wealthy people doing this. [applause] you know why we do this . Its not because the law tells us we have to do it we do it because it is a nation that is shaped by our christian values. Because this is a nation that was founded on the belief that our rights come from all powerful ever living god. [applause] because this is a nation founded on the belief that our rights are source, not the law. Source is not the constitution and source is not our president. We have a god given right to go as far as our hope, dream, talent, work will take us. [applause] this is what makes us special. This is what makes us different. And i know it because ive lived it. Because like nikis parents mine came here from another country an they came here with nothing. My parent had no advanced education of any sort. My father started working when he was nine years of age. He never went back to school. He worked 70 years for the next 70 years of his life. When he got to the country, they didnt know anyone. The first words they learned in english were im looking or for work. They sacrificed. They were discouraged when they first got here, but they persevered and miracle of america changed their life. And the course of our familys history. Less than a decade after my parents came here with nothing, my father was just a bar tender at a hotel, but he was able to buy his first home. Their first home. My parents never became rich or famous people. But they were very successful people. Because after arriving here with nothing, they raised a family, they retired with dignity, and most important of all for them they lived to see all four of their children live a life better than their own. [applause] about to run out of cough drops here so i before better hurry. I tell you that story not just to you know more about me so that you remember who we are. For the story i told you is not just mine. Its ours. The vast majority of you have never met in person. I dont know your personal stories but i know that youre americans. And that because youre americans i know that everyone in this room is probably just the generation or two removed from a story not unlike my own. [applause] who are we . Who are we . Were the descendant of settle her and immigrants and of slaves of people who overcame extraordinary obstacles to stake their claim in a better life. To stake their claim in what is known as the American Dream. That is the blood that runs through our vains. Every single one of us i dont care what your last name is. Yox how its pronounced, or o the color of your skin. Or where you worship, the blood that runs in our american veins is the blood of a gogetter is the blood of someone who refuses to accept limitation of the old world. [applause] this is who we are. And now we must choose whether this is who we will remain. What we still remain in the place where people can do what my parents did for me and what your did for you that is whats at stake here. If we stay on the road we are on right now many of these things will leave us. Because the American Dream was never automatic. The American Dream did not happen on its own. What your parents did for you and what youre doing for your children now it is possible because for over 200 years, each generation before us did what they needed to do. Theres never been a time in the history when any generation had it easy. A cursory examination of our history will tell you this nation overcame having to take on the most powerful empire of the world to declare its independence and brought a civil war to put the end to brutal slavery. This was the nation that had to fight two bloody world wars that was the nation that had to overcome a great depression. This was the nation that had to work through the civil rights period that took us to where we needed to be as we continue to advance the work of equality for all. This is the nation that was divided generationally over vietnam that had long gas lines it is that had who is tamings in iran, we have never had it easy. No generation before us had it easy. Each of them face great obstacles. And each time hay did what needed to be done. My friends the moment has arrived for this generation to do its part and if you elect me president , this generation will do its apartment. [applause] if you elect me president , you will have a president that will never pitch you against each other on purpose. You will have a president that will never ask you to hate another group of americans so i can win an election. [applause] if you elect me, you will have a president that loves all of the American People even twhawns dont love me back. [applause] if you elect me, we will confront our challenges. We will embrace our opportunities because our opportunities are real. The 21st century is made for america. It is about innovation and were most innovative people in the world. Its about productivity and competition were the most productive workers on this planet. We have biggest dreamers and hardest workers 21st century is there for us. But we must shape it and we must coit now when im president , we will. [applause] so its okay it is okay to be dissatisfied of the direction of our country. It is okay to be frustrated in government leaders and both parties that have failed group it is okay to be indig assistant at the people that are in office and refuse to solve any problems because they just want to be elected theres nothing wrong with any of that. But do not give into hopelessness and fear, do not give into anger for despite how difficult things may seem, i want you to know what herself will say of us when we do our part. History will say of this generation, that we lived in the early years of this new century in a very difficult time. And it will say that we almost got it young. That after eight year was barack obama and most unusual election ever we came this close to getting it wrong. But we finally remembered who we were. We finally remembered what america was. And we rose up to the task before us like each generation before us. We solved our problems not left them for our children. We embraced our opportunities. And when our work was finished, this was the generation that left their children as the freest and most prosperous americans that ever lived. [applause] this was the generation that didnt just say the American Dream. This generation expanded it until it reached more people and changed more lives than ever before. [applause] and this is the generation that authored greatest chapter and amazing story of america. This was the generation that brought about a new american century. [applause] so im here once more before i leave where i dont know where im going next. But im going i think arkansas and then oklahoma. Thank you. [inaudible] they keep calling it the fcc primary theres acc schools in there too. [applause] this is georgia tech town ; right no . Listen, all right enough. [laughter] go gators. I was one of our last in South Carolina was a clemson we finished strong there you know why, because i said something that proanl wasnt true but i told the people listen vote for me everybody else on the ballot voted for alabama on the national championship.
