Trump: A lot of people have been writing in and calling in and tweeting about jobs.  They'd say Mr. Trump can we have a job, can you help us get a job, can you hire us?  Well it's thousands of people.  The fact is, if I run and if I win, you'll have plenty of jobs because this country has the potential to have unbelievable employment.  It can be like it used to be.  The problem we have is China's got our jobs, Mexico's got our jobs, India's got our jobs, OPEC's killing us with the oil price.  It's tough, because we don't know what we're doing as a country.  So you'll have plenty of jobs if I decide to run and if I win.  Plenty of jobs.

I'm learning more and more about Obamacare, but one of the things that most disturbs me is that I have friends that aren't big businesspeople, and they think they're going to have to close up their business because they can't afford Obamacare.  They feel that it's so expensive, and what's happening now is they cannot afford Obamacare.  And some of these people are actually talking about closing up shop, closing up their business.  They can't do it.  What are we doing in this country?

One of the biggest problems that the country has is OPEC, and what they're doing to the price of oil.  So oil is now going to be $100 a barrel, could be $125, $150.  If you remember the last crisis we had, oil hit $150 a barrel.  When it's over $40 a barrel, it's too much.  The country can't sustain itself.  It's too much.  It's far too much.  OPEC is sitting around a table saying America's leaders, the United States' leaders are not smart people.  They don't know what they're doing; let's raise the price.  It keeps going up, up, up.  The only thing that knocked it down was when they got so greedy they almost destroyed this country and others.  So we've got to get smart, we've got to get people that know how to negotiate; we have to get oil down to $40 a barrel.
