## Transcript

Now I heard, and I saw just a little bit of it, but I heard that Mitt Romney made a fairly long speech .

>> Boo .

>> And I mean honestly I thought I'll just address it quickly because it's irrelevant. Look, Mitt is a failed candidate, he failed. He failed horribly He's a loser .

>> The third degree [ LAUGH ] [ APPLAUSE ] He failed badly. That was a race, I have to say folks that should have been won. That was a race that absolutely should have been run and I don't know what happened to him, he disappeared He disappeared, and I wasn't happy about it. I'll be honest, because I am not a fan of Barack Obama, and that was a race that I backed Mitt Romney. I backed him. You can see how loyal he is. He was begging for my endorsement. I could have said, Mitt, drop to your knees. He would have dropped to his knees. He was begging. [ APPLAUSE ] When he talks about me, I wrote just a couple of them down.

When he talks about me, they don't wanna talk about 92 story buildings all over the place. They don't wanna talk about the Bank of America building in San Fransisco, 1290 Avenue of the Americas. They don't wanna talk about the West side railroad yards where I built the city on the west side of Manhattan. Yeah! A tremendous city on the west side of Manhattan They don't wanna talk about 40 Wall Street, and the buildings. They wanna talk about water, which I still have. I supply all my clubs, I have a water company. They wanna talk about a magazine, and I have a magazine that goes to all my clubs.

Little, tiny things, you know, wherever you can find. So with Mitt, I just wanted to tell you that he came out, it was very nasty. I mean, I thought he was a better person than that.
