RE: Donald Trump Rally in Indianapolis - 2016-04-27

Event Details: http://abcnews.go.com/Live?stream=4

Attendees/Audience: Trump, Bobby Knight, Donald Trump Jr and many supporters

Press: ABC

Summary of Event: Trump gave a speech to supporter in Indianapolis on the heels of Cruz’s VP announcement. After an introductory speech by a campaign surrogate, Trump did his usual self-congratulatory speech, punctuated by a stump from Bobby Knight.

Key Points: Clip A:

0:00  Campaign surrogate on. Did you get to hear Trump’s foreign policy speech? Do you believe it’s time to put America first? You’re going to hear from the man who will save the US, but before that I want to talk about what’s at stake with this race. Crooked Hillary. I’m Trump’s policy advisor, so it’s time to talk about our opponents policies. Manufacturing is important for IN. Cruz voted for Obama’s trade bill that would destroy the middle class here. Can IN vote for a man that sides with Obama on trade or a man like Trump who puts America first. Cruz has been mathematically eliminated so I don’t know why he’s still running. Cruz has announced a VP pick has benefitted from offshoring jobs, they’re the outsourcing ticket.

4:00 Carrier plant and others being sent overseas, and Cruz taps a person famous for outsourcing. Cruz voted to allow Chinese currency cheating. Do you want someone supporting China over America? HRC is stepping up her attacks on Trump, she has a lot to be proud of: turning Libya into crises, lying about Benghazi. What does HRC love? Special interests, Wall St cash, Obama’s trade bill. Trump loves American workers, secure borders, safe communities, keeping jobs in the US. Trump’s love for all of you, trumps HRC’s contempt for the US. I know you’ve seen the horrors of our open border, did the special interests weep for Kate Steinly? No. Trump cares about you and when IN sends Trump to White House, he’ll fight for all of you. Trump loves all of you, he’ll be your warrior. While Cruz and Fiorina fight to send your jobs overseas, Trump will fight to protect them. Trump doesn’t have any special interests, just the people here tonight.

Clip B:

0:00 Trump on. Thank you In, we have a great surprise for you, it’s the worst kept surprise. We have thousands of people still filing in, but let’s start. Never done this before, I’m going to do the introduction. I’m gonna introduce Bobby Knight. He’s a great coach, told me to say he lost one game and if he hadn’t screwed up he’d have had two perfect seasons. I’m going to let him speak

3:35 Bobby Knight. You’re looking at the most prepared person to be president of the US. I’m not here to represent the GOP or any political organization. Most important thing is to vote for the best man for the job and you met him. Here’s a few things I think would happen under Trump. No president will have had a better relationship with the military, I spent 8 years at the US military academy and we beat Navy each time we played your asses. I want to say to you hoosiers, I owe you a big debt of gratitude, nowhere is a sport followed better than here. Thanks for the opportunity. Our players played with one word on their shirt, IN. You have a great opportunity to vote for Trump, throwing him over the top. If you do this, you’ll give our govt the first step toward what we want America to be like.

8:00 They talk negatively about Trump saying he’s not presidential, I don’t know what the hell that means. To me, I think of Harry Truman, they said he wasn’t presidential and went on to be one of the three best presidents in history. Trump will be one of those also. How many of you have a family member in the military? Under Trump there will never be another thing like Benghazi, the military will have what they need. Trump does a great job of getting good people, teaching good people, and he’s good at getting rid of bad people. I think you’re going to leave here after this, there’s never been a more honest politician than Trump. You people, if you get us started on the road, they’re going to take what you did and put you right next to our founding fathers and George Washington. You’ll be responsible for the shift to what we want America to be. Johnny walked into his dad’s office, told his dad that he passed the driving test, asked to drive the family car. Dad said sure there will be an opportunity but there are prerequisites, your grades need improvement, you need to read the Bible, and you need a haircut. Comes back three weeks later and fixed everything, but his hair was still too long. The kid is Donad. I read the Bible and everyone had long hair, and that’s true but those characters walked their asses off everywhere.

16:45 Trump back on. What a winner, what a man? I never knew Bobby until recently, I knew of him. I got a call about a year ago from him, he told me that he wanted me to run, said he wanted to endorse me. I told him I’d call back. I’ve now won 28 states, big night last night, 5 landslides. I took the number, put it in a special place, decided to run because I saw the horrible deals by our politicians. We started winning in NH and we get all these landslides. We had no chance in SC and the evangelicals voted for me and we won in a landslide. We’re just about ready to put it away, IN is a special place, employed thousands of people over the years. Usually by now the race is decided, never been 17 people before. With all these people when I’m getting 35% with all the others that’s huge.

20:40 IN is turning out to be important, as it should be. I said to myself, and who would be the greatest endorsement here? I had to find the phone number, I knew exactly where it was, he was waiting for me to call, he’s a cool cat. He’s a winner, a champ, he loves IN. To have his endorsement is an honor. Cruz is losing badly, Lyin’ Ted. I watched him the other night. Cruz says I love ACA, we’re going to repeal it folks. He called a rim a ring, doesn’t know basketball. He would take what I said and say I said the opposite. I won every debate. I can’t watch him for long periods, you get a headache. It’s terrible he can get away with it, and some people believe it. My wife says no one believes it. Cruz says I’m not going to build the wall, believe me we will. (Crowd chants “Build that wall.”) Not even a question of a doubt.

25:00 We’re down to two stragglers, they say I can’t build a wall. China has a 13k wall built thousands of years ago. We’re talking smaller wall for $10 billion. We’re going to end the $500 billion trade deficit with China, with Mexico it’s a $58 billion deficit, doesn’t count the drugs poisoning our youth. I’m leading with hispanics in NV. There are consequences when companies leave. I’ve been talking Carrier for months. There’s no one who will be able to do what we’re able to do. We have tremendous people supporting us, like Jeff Sessions. Cruz used to talk about how much he loves Sessions, yet Sessions endorsed me. Ben Carson and Chris Christie and Palin have been tremendous. I watch these horrible stories being told, I don’t like the way Kasich eats, but that’s ok. I don’t like the way Cruz talks, they outsmarted themselves. Kasich voted for NAFTA, perhaps the worst economic deal we’ve made. Our manufacturing jobs are terrible. Signed by Bill Clinton by the way. Cruz was losing badly, so badly the NY thing wa an embarrassment. UT and AZ the same week, also Jan Brewer endorsement and Sheriff Joe. He’s tough but fair. The relationship between Cruz and Kasich is already a disaster, it’s collusion. Politics is so rigged it’s one of the few places you can collude and get away with it.

30:00 I have the best people working for us in IN, if we win here it’s over. They have these phoney Never Trump groups, they’re always getting smaller. They had these little ads that are mostly not true. I’m basically even with HRC and I haven’t even started with her. I know how to win. I start out with 17 people, and Carson is a smart guy, I knock off a senator and governor that were supposed to win. I’m afraid to be too presidential because we need to win. We have a movement going in this country. We had to turn down ten thousand people at one event so many people showed up. We’re not going to let politicians take advantage of us anymore. I get a call two nights ago, one of my people says bad news that they made this alliance. Now Kasich’s people in IN are striking because he abandoned them, they treat their people so badly. Neither of them have a path to victory. You read this stuff from the most dishonest media, so bad. You read about Cruz trying to get delegates on 2nd 3rd round at the convention, they’re paying off people, it’s disgusting. Nobody can compete with me but it’s so wrong. We’re on the first round.

35:00 It’s a rigged system like the prize fighters, Mike Tyson supports me, all the tough guys support me. When I get endorsed by the tough ones, I like it. HRC said “I don’t like Trump’s tone.” They’re chopping off heads of Christians in Middle East, we’ll have the strongest military in the world, very quickly we’ll knock the hell out of ISIS. (Crowd chants USA) I’ve been a politician for 9 months. Bill O’Reilly is tough and smart, he’s talking to somebody and he says that Trump is the greatest political event he’s ever seen. Brit Hume, who hates me, said the same thing. I’m the messenger, you’re the political event. We have huge crowds everywhere. I won AL and MA in the same week by huge margins. People are sick of being run by people who don’t know what they’re doing. They formed this alliance, I call them colluders, that deal is immediately breaking up. I got good reviews for my foreign policy speech. Almost right from the beginning we’ve been number one. The media always said I wouldn’t really run and they were always wrong.

40:00 Now they’re asking how to stop me. I borrowed a million dollars not so long ago, now it’s worth $10 billion. Great company stats, but that doesn’t matter, this is the thinking we need in our country. We need to straighten things out. So Kasich and Cruz are fighting, they don’t know how to make deals. Smartest people in China in charge, they buy from me, but we have incompetent people. We have the greatest negotiators in the world, they don’t want money they just want to do right by their country. We owe China $1.8 trillion, they take our jobs and we owe them money. Japan sends us cars. We love NASCAR, the cars are pouring off. The trade imbalance is huge. We gotta have fairness, our jobs back, we’ll get them back. Cruz who doesn’t want to stop Chinese currency manipulation. Cruz hasn’t done one thing in the Senate other than filibuster. He filibusters for days, doesn’t get anything, just makes the top man, Mitch McConnell, who’s a good guy. Lyin’ Ted lies with the Bible held high.

45:20 I get huge evangelical support because they’re smart and they don’t like liars. Even these reporters, who hate me, the results came out and the shows in the morning, good shows, we like Mika and Joe. They’re all saying landslide and one said the amazing part is I’ve only been doing this for 9 months. I spent less money than any other candidate, I’m number one. My son was on the shows, Jake was grilling him, he was great. (Don Jr speaks) It’s great to see someone who’s actually created jobs winning. Until all this happened, even political people didn’t realized how much the system is rigged. Why watch 30 debates with the countdown clocks, you’ve been watching for a year, why do it if your vote doesn’t matter. Bring someone in who isn’t a politician. It’s time for a change, no one’s going to work harder for you.

50:45 Trump back on, It’s good to have a son who loves you. The happiest people are the people with great, loving families, money doesn’t make you happy. Now the new thing is how we defeat their alliance, now a new relationship Cruz/Carly. First of all, Cruz can’t win, why’s he picking a VP. Media is nice saying “No path to victory.” He has set a record, first presidential candidates who’s mathematically eliminated and picked a VP candidate. I’m not playing games with IN, you’re going to get so tired of me, try to turn off the news, but we’re going to win it. IN has such an important position, usually it’s over by now. If I win we’ll make it better than ever before. If I don’t win, I’ll have to move onto other states. All I have to do is read this, I ask my statisticians for info on IN. You have a good governor here. This is a world problem, I won NY because people are losing jobs. It’s always the same 40% down, but I want to be accurate. It may cost a little more, but we’ll have jobs.

55:00 I’m a free trader, but you can’t have free trade with stupid negotiators. Carrier left, some mid-level guy fired thousands. Any people from Carrier here? You worked there for 10-18 years, stick with me. Someone had the cellphone camera as this guy let go of thousands of workers. He said you’re all fired, we’re moving to Mexico, if I hadn’t seen it on TV I wouldn’t have said anything. So I started talking about it, little did I know it would be so important to you. Do you think the Obama administration goes to talk with Carrier? They don’t even care, that’s why the country is going to hell and real unemployment is close to 20%. It’s not 5%, you think people would be here just for the border maybe. I’m presidential, they talk about the elites, but who has a better plane than me, a better location, apartment? These people aren’t elites, they don’t have a clue. I would talk with Carrier and tell them the consequences. I know formulas better than anyone. You say Carrier you’re going to leave IN and every AC unit you sell across the border will be hit with a 35% tax.

1:00:00 I’d say the same to Ford who’s going abroad. Free trade great, but it’s not working for us. Our states are being wiped out. Nabisco, no more Oreos. 35% tax every single time. If I’m KAsich or Cruz or Crooked Hillary, the lobbyist calls you up, the donors tell them you can’t do that to Carrier. They’ll all back down, I don’t back down. They’ll try and say Mr President, I won’t pick up the phone, busy with other things. The people with seats don’t sit at my events. They’re going to call and say Carrier has decided to stay in IN. 100% it’s not like an 80% chance of keeping them, it’s 100%. They’ll leave and we have a fortune or they stay and we have jobs. My friends can’t sell anything in China, we’ll bring steel back to IN. China is killing the steel industry, if the steel costs a little more, I want the jobs. We’re going to get the respect of other countries. Our country doesn’t win anymore: military, education, healthcare, 2nd amendment. Make America Great Again is positive not negative.

1:05:00 We’re going to turn it around fast. They’re going to bring the jobs back for you. You gotta go vote. You’re going to look back and say this was the greatest vote you’ve ever cast in your life. You might even say I don’t like Trump but I like Bobby Knight. We’re not going to have to use our military, hopefully, we’re going to be so strong that no one will mess with us. We’re going to take care of our vets, who’ve been mistreated. We’re going to get rid of Common Core, and ACA. We’re going to have strong powerful borders, we’ll have the wall, people can come in legally. We’re going to make trade deals, good solid, wonderful deals that are great for our country and fine for the other side. I love doing this, we’re going to start winning again.
