TIMESTAMPS:

:01 King on mic; Welcome, DJT, back to Iowa; DJT has made his heart wherever he’s gone; I have an affinity to claim as friends an individual who has never put his finger to the wind but put his instinct to it; Every time DJT has reached out and touched something, it’s turned into something good for America; That has turned into an American trait; He understands America; We have common cause… Sovereign America and rule of law; We can’t be the exceptional country we are without the rule of law; If you allow POTUS to diminish that, you’ll see America become a third world country; Secure the border because many coming into our country are prime gang recruitment age and six of the most violent countries in the world are south of Mexico; ISIS on our southern border; They’re seeking to enter U.S. and threaten us; We saw beheadings in OK, paralysis in most of our states if not all of them, and the unaccompanied alien issue sent many of those kids to states where we’re now seeing problems; I brought DJT to IA so that he could deliver his message because we have some planks that we care about but we could put those all down to make a platform; If we make that our platform, we’ll make sure a candidate for POTUS that we choose will share our values; Welcome to IA, DJT; King off mic

3:40 DJT on mic; I’m here to support King; Smart guy, so many of the right views; On ebola, we have to stop flights abroad and not think too much about it; It’s so obvious that the other side’s POV can hardly even be identified; It’s my great honor to be here today to support and endorse Steve King; Questions?

Q: Running for POTUS?

A: We’ll see what happens; POTUS doing a very poor job now but we’ll make a decision after the beginning of the year; We’re laughed at all over the world, whether it’s by China or by ISIS; Where is China helping with ISIS? They take money out all over the place and don’t put it back in; We sent ill-equipped soldiers in to deal with ebola and the question is, is China helping? Russia? Other countries who have taken much from Africa generally? In the meantime we have $18t in debt, most of it owed to China; Very interesting election coming up

5:50 Q: What kind of candidate are you looking to support?

A: Without names, we need someone smart, tough, and great; We’re behind the 8-ball and good isn’t good enough… We need a great POTUS; Tremendous ground lost in military, nuclear program; Obsolete equipment and next thing you know Putin starts talking about nuclear; Look at what’s happening with military, virtually everything we have; LAX and other American airports are like third world facilities meanwhile in China and the Middle East there’s facilities that we couldn’t dream of; I want to see someone make our country great again

Q: Other qualities? Outside of government candidate?

DJT A: You don’t have to come from outside, it might help; It’s an avenue now open that wasn’t open before; We’ll see what happens; This is going to be an unbelievably important POTUS election, no question; November will be very exciting, interesting; Weight of BHO and the poor job he’s done with ACA, premiums, deductibles through the roof, etc.; People can’t afford insurance any more because of how high deductibles are; Doctors quitting because they’re having to hire 2-3 accountants due to complexity; People are leaving because they’re finding out it’s so expensive; So much focus on ebola is leading to folks forgetting about ACA; ACA is a catastrophe for D’s in November

King A: My premium went up $4400 as a direct result of ACA; I introduced legislation that can live with or beyond ACA and provides 100% deductibility of health insurance premiums; 20.5m folks compelled to comply with ACA by law and it must be corrected; Any R running for office at any level must have the mission of 100% full repeal of ACA; Majority in Senate puts repeal on BHO’s desk, not in Reid’s desk; That’s important

10:30 Q: Obama’s new ebola czar?

DJT A: No experience; A lot of people were upset; Do we need more bureaucracy? He’s the wrong guy, can’t do the job, but prior to him there was another total disaster; We have the machinery set up but we have bad leadership; He’s been criticized by King and others

King A: He’s a spin czar; I watched the representatives of BHO’s administration come before us under oath and calculate answers to our questions; Is it more painful to tell the truth or get caught in a lie, they calculate as they answer our questions; When they came to a classified hearing on Benghazi after SoS and Rice had told us the same set of lies, things clearly don’t add up; If they don’t know how folks have contracted ebola, how can they tell us how to avoid contracting it? Quarantine those coming back to U.S. that are citizens, 21 days; Friedman should step down and allow for a medical person who can stand at a podium and tell the American people the truth, not political responses

DJT A: When Friedman was speaking about the flights coming in, he sounded clueless; No POTUS has told more lies than BHO; Start with ACA, or go department by department to see that; Huge deductibles that people are never going to be able to handle; I have a lot of doctor friends leaving their practices; That’s a very serious thing because we need more doctors in this country; Mess with ebola has been handled with incompetence; Interesting election coming up; People love Steve King, I can tell you that

Q: Will GOP take control of Senate in November?

DJT A: I think so; R’s are surging because of the poor job BHO has done; It looks like GOP is back on track to do very well and I think they will

King A: A couple of races in the balance like MA and KS have started looking better for us; Roberts and Scott Brown have both bounced back in the polls; I’m not ready to predict that they’ll win, but they will get close; If the southern border’s security concerns are important in NH, they’re important everywhere and next POTUS must understand it

DJT A: People flooding across southern border; BHO isn’t doing anything about it; It’s a big an important issue for the country; It will have a profound effect on the elections in November

King A: Five minutes of BHO’s time and we’d have our sergeant back; If BHO would accelerate the process, it’d only take a few days to get the sergeant back

DJT A: Sergeant is the only person who can’t get across our southern border; It’s amazing; BHO hasn’t probably made the call; It’s gross incompetence; One phone call, and that man should be released; If he hasn’t made the call, that’s terrible; I saw on a major program that companies in IA are going to Mexico; They’re making a fortune on the U.S. and we’re not making a fortune on them; We have incredible power over Mexico but it’s inconceivable that we can’t get the sergeant back; One two minute phone call and he’d be coming back; It’s an insult, disgraceful, disgusting; Shows lack of leadership and competence by BHO; It’s inconceivable that Mexico is arrogant in telling us no; They take our jobs, we send them tremendous amounts of money, then on top of that the people who go through Mexico are unable to stay there if coming from another country to the south; They whisk them through Mexico and into the U.S. and it’s grossly incompetent

King A: I did some internet research and found out about a presser that took place between Presidents of Mexico and Guatemala the other day where they bragged about an agreement for transit permits issued to Guatemalans as they travel through Mexico to enter the U.S. illegally; Mexican president said he’d work toward establishing the same agreement with other southern countries; I’m glad we have an internet so folks can read about these things

DJT A: To finish on Mexico, drug lords all over the country sending drugs into U.S. while they shoot and kill our people; It’s incredible that the situation is taking place

20:20 Q: What does standing next to DJT in NWIA do for you, Rep. King?

King A: Well it makes me feel good; I remember seeing flags hanging on 9/11 and we became one America on that day; I like it when NY knows what’s going on in IA and IA should know what’s going on in NY; I can stand here in IA and go back and forth through 99 counties and meet people, talk to them, and maybe get re-elected but that’s not enough; We must take IA values to Washington; They ask me on the floor of the House what we think in IA even from west and east coasts; They care what we think in IA and we must take this country to the place DJT and I both know it should be

Q: You play a lot of golf and criticize leadership at the same time; Isn’t that something?

King A: POTUS is feckless; No vision for leading this country; He thinks he’s the president of the world and he wants to treat folks in Africa as if they’re American citizens; He’s pitted people against each other based on god given characteristics; I see that and look for where we need to head as a country and that’s our basic right; Rights extend from your right to bear arms and pick up a shotgun to shoot a pheasant or to your right to pick up a 7-iron and discipline your husband; I had to throw that in there; That wouldn’t happen with DJT; That’s not the right to bear arms though; Right to bear arms, pick up golf clubs, or enjoy recreational time is fine but BHO seems to take advantage of too much recreational time; He was wheels up with stuff still going on in Benghazi and it hurt our country; It was feckless, bad leadership and it was wrong

DJT A: I have two sons that are both very good members of NRA; They love the NRA and they’re really good at hunting; I’m more of a golfer; I have many hotels and buildings all over the world with golf clubs; One in Scotland is home of the Open Championship; I understand and love golf but there’s a time and place for everything; We had an American’s head cut off and POTUS couldn’t wait to end his presser so that he could get back to the golf course; That was absolutely terrible; That should have never happened; I don’t know if it’s bad P.R. or arrogance but POTUS literally had his golf shirt on at the press conference; He’s played over 200 rounds already and that may have been more than Tiger Woods has played over the last period of time; Folks say BHO is worse than Carter and I didn’t think that’d be possible in my life time; It’s very sad but King here is doing a great job; I’ve been to IA many times, I love it here, and I’ll be back again; You have a great governor in IA who is a fantastic guy and leader; I know him well, terrific person; All people of IA are workers and they love to work; Country needs to start thinking that way or we’ll be in big trouble; Trump off mic
