00:00Meanwhile, our crime rate is going up while crime statistics all over the world are plunging.

00:07We have become a dumping ground for the world, which is laughing at us.

00:11They can't believe how stupid we are, how stupid, stupid, stupid we are.

00:16We're destroying our country.

00:18They can't believe what they're getting away with, but they're getting away with it at

00:22levels that they never thought possible.

00:24In Venezuela, crime is down 72 percent.

00:28You know, Caracas, Venezuela, is a very, very dangerous place.

00:32And now, because of the great job they've done in removing their criminals into the

00:37United States, next year we're going to have our Michigan rally in Caracas, Venezuela,

00:45because it's nice and safe, okay?

00:48Does that sound like a good idea to you?

00:50Because we want safety.

00:53Now the press is going to write that.

00:54They're going to say, Donald Trump proposed next year's Michigan rally in Caracas, Venezuela.

00:59They'll say, isn't that horrible?

01:02Isn't that unpatriotic?

01:03You understand.

01:04This is what I have to go with.

01:05I'm only kidding, press, I'm only kidding, although maybe it's not a bad idea.

01:11So El Salvador is an interesting one because I know the president.

01:14He's a young guy, young guy, and he's been getting this great press, this great press

01:19that his crime rate is way down, and they're training their criminals.

01:24Well, you don't train criminals, okay?

01:25You know, maybe every once in a while you get lucky, but you don't.

01:29So in El Salvador, murders are down 70 percent.

01:32He's saying, yes, we're teaching.

01:34He's different.

01:35Most of them just say, well, the United States is stupid, so we're dumping all our criminals.

01:38He does it differently, smart, because we're working with our people that are causing problems

01:44in crime.

01:45He's not working with them, he's dumping them in the United States.

01:49And their crime rate, their murder rate is down 72 percent, 73 percent and going up.

01:56And I don't blame them because if I was running one of those countries, and we're not just

02:00talking in South America, but if I were running one of those countries, I would have been

02:04doing it much more.

02:05They're also emptying their jails.

02:07The big thing is their jails.

02:09Those jails were packed.

02:10Now, all of a sudden, it's like, oh, isn't this wonderful?

02:13They're doing such a wonderful job.

02:16They're dumping their criminals into the United States of America, and we're not going

02:22to take it anymore.

02:23Stupid people.
