EXCERPT:

TRUMP: "Drill, baby, drill.
(Cheering and Applause)
We were energy-independent. We were soon going to be energy-dominant. Nobody had ever done what I did. We got oil down to $1.87. Actually, it fell lower than that in some cases, we had to save the oil companies if the price was getting so — we were doing incredibly. We had the greatest economy in the history of our country, probably the greatest economy in the history of the world, we were energy-independent, soon to be energy-dominant. We were going to be bigger than Russia and Saudi Arabia put together times 2. We have more liquid gold under our feet than any other nation. Any other nation. And these stupid fools ended it, and energy went from $1.87 and even lower for gasoline for a car, they went from $1.87 to 5, 6, 7, 8 and even $9. And your electricity bills went through the roof, your heating bills went through the roof, and that's what started inflation and it hasn’t stopped because people are paying now for bacon and eggs and for — two and three times what it was just a little while ago. We created the greatest economy in history. A big part of that economy was I got you the biggest tax cuts in the history of our country, bigger than the Reagan cuts, bigger than any — “
