"china's military, especially our navy, is growing stronger, we don't fear us provocation", this man tells me. "we want peace, but if they cross our red line we have to take measures," this woman agrees. las

this was from mr trump's opening statement. thank you very much, it is very familiar territory, news conferences, because we used to give them on an almost daily basis, i think we have probably maybe won the nomination because of news conferences, it is good to be with you. we stopped giving them because we we re you. we stopped giving them because we were getting quite a bit of an accurate news, but i do have to say, andi accurate news, but i do have to say, and i must say, that i want to thank and i must say, that i want to thank a lot of the news organisations here today. because they looked at that nonsense that was released by, maybe, the intelligence agencies, who knows? maybe the intelligence agencies, which would be age mendis blot on their record if they, in fa ct, blot on their record if they, in fact, did that. a tremendous blotter. what mr trump is talking about there are reports that russia's intelligence agencies hold compromising personal material about him. russia denies this. the claims are unverified. they com
