00:00I'm going to protect Social Security and Medicare.

00:04Democrats are going to destroy Social Security and Medicare

00:08because all of these people, by the millions they're coming in,

00:11they're going to be on Social Security and Medicare

00:14and other things, and you're not able to afford it.

00:17They are destroying your Social Security and your Medicare.

00:21Under my plan, incomes will skyrocket,

00:24inflation will vanish completely,

00:26jobs will come roaring back,

00:28and the middle class will prosper like never, ever before,

00:32and we're going to do it very rapidly.

00:34But no hope or dream we have for America

00:44can succeed unless we stop the illegal immigrant invasion,

00:49the worst that's ever been seen anywhere in the world.

00:52There's never been an invasion like this anywhere.

00:54Third-world countries would fight with sticks and stones.

00:58Not to let this happen.

01:00The invasion at our southern border,

01:02we will stop it, and we will stop it quickly.

01:04You heard Tom Holman yesterday.

01:05Tom Holman, put him in charge and just sit back and watch.

01:11Brandon Judd of Border Patrol, he's incredible.

01:16These guys, you know, really their job is a lot easier

01:19if they don't have to do anything,

01:20but they want to, they're patriots.

01:21Brandon Judd, Border Patrol, ICE, ICE goes out.

01:25You have to see what ICE does with MS-13.

01:28You have, these are probably the worst gang,

01:31and ICE goes in there.

01:32And I know a lot of people in these rows here,

01:34and they're very tough people,

01:36but they don't want to do this job.

01:38They'll go into a pack of MS-13 killers.

01:41They're the worst, probably the worst gangs in the world.

01:44We have thousands of them.

01:45I moved thousands and thousands out in my four years.

01:49We moved them out, and it was a pleasure.

01:51But ICE would go right into a pack of these killers,

01:53and you see fists flying, you see everything flying,

01:56and then they take them, they put them in a paddy wagon.

02:01They take them back, and they get them out of our country.

02:03And the other countries weren't accepting them back,

02:05and I called up, and I said,

02:06tell them that we're not giving them economic aid anymore.

02:10And the next day, I got calls from all of these countries

02:12that were terminated.

02:14Billions of dollars we spend on economic aid

02:17to countries that does us, frankly, no good.

02:20And the next day, I was called by everybody.

02:22I couldn't take all the calls.

02:24I said, sir, sir, what's the problem?

02:25I said, you won't take your killers back

02:27that you sent in caravans into America.

02:31You won't take them back.

02:32Well, sir, if you'd like us to,

02:34we would give very serious consideration to doing that.

02:38And within 24 hours, they were being taken back.

02:41For years and years, when I first came in,

02:45they said President Obama tried to get them to go back,

02:48and they wouldn't accept them.

02:49They put planes on the runway

02:51so you couldn't leave the plane.

02:52They closed the road so you couldn't take the buses.

02:54They'd all have to turn back.

02:56As soon as I said, no more economic aid of any kind

02:59to any country that does that, they called back,

03:01and they said, sir, it would be our great honor

03:03to take MS-13.

03:05We love them very much.

03:07We love them very much, sir.

03:12We'll take them back.

03:14At the heart of the Republican platform

03:17is our pledge to end this border nightmare

03:19and fully restore the sacred and sovereign borders

03:22of the United States of America,

03:24and we're going to do that on day one.

03:32That means two things on day one, right?

03:35Drill, baby, drill, and close our borders.

03:46And by the way, and I think everybody

03:48as a Republican, as a patriot in this room,

03:51and most Democrats,

03:53we want people to come into our country,

03:56but they have to come into our country legally.

04:00Legally.
