TRANSCRIPT:

DONALD TRUMP: Well, thank you very much, everybody. This is great. I want to just thank Derek, who is an incredible congressman, so respected in Washington. He’s really respected. And I don’t know if there’s somebody running against him or not. I guess there probably is. Will you make sure he wins, please? OK. Totally respected by everybody.

I’m thrilled to be back in this beautiful state. I love this state. I just gave you the biggest — you know, I gave you — before I left, I gave you the biggest shipbuilding contract in the nation. And a lot of other states are angry at me. You know that, Derek. You know where it is, right? That’s a big one. And they’re doing a beautiful job, too. But I gave you the biggest, and a lot of states aren’t so happy with that. They still remember that. But I just want to really — I appreciate it.

These are hardworking, beautiful Americans, and it’s something special. But outside, we have thousands and thousands of people. Would anybody love to give up their seat? So we were going to have a thing outside someplace, in an area where we could have held the people. And I would say, what do you think, 40,000, 50,000 people at least out there. This went almost all the way to the airport. And it looked like when Lindbergh landed in New York. You remember that?

Crowd Size and Security Concerns

He had all the way, the Broadway, the whole — the way they used to do it. And this looked like it. But thousands and thousands of people, and they all could have had a lot of fun.
