pat robertson has some very harsh words to say. also ahead, is it wrong to portray christmas in this1é way? >> yes, it has jesus, merry and joseph but in this case they are zombies. >> caution, you are about to enter the no spin zone. the factor begins right now. ♪ ♪ >>> hi, i'm bill o'reilly. thanks for watching us tonight. no talking points memo because we have an interview with the man in the center of an enormous storm, donald trump. his opinion that muslims overseas should be temporarily suspended from ignited, perhaps, the most intense political firestorm we have ever seen. overnight, bloomberg conducted an internet poll of about 600 folks. 37% agree with trump overall. 50% oppose. but, when you break it down to republican primary voters. 65% agree, 22% dissent. joining us now from his campaign headquarters here in new york city is donald trump. just to get you on the record, if you are elected president, what will you do regarding muslims, non-american citizens traveling to the u.s.a.? what will you do? >> very simple. first

hill and to capitol worked with, believe it or not, andkennedy and jesse helms ronald reagan and pat robertson to pass the first debt relief measure. why? because when our bombers fly over an african village and the men are shaking their fists, i want the women to say, "the united states vaccinated my children." is important. diplomacy is critically important. the foreign aid that actually goes to help people -- i think what president did was really a follow-on -- what president bush did was really a follow-on to what bono had started. absolutely, these things are important, but you can't come in there and create a big project that puts money in somebody's pocket and displace all the people in the village. all you do is create anger and antipathy towards the united states. of course there is a big role there. i hope you will also listen to what i suggested about the war of ideas. i believe that the western ethic has to be defended. who are these people to join isis? how do people from starkville, mississippi, try to make their way to syria? who are they? whenever people lose meaning in their l

pat robertson denounced the court for rending the fourth moral fabric of the nation. when it came time for justice kennedy to announce the judgment he read a brief statement explaining the result from the bench. the spring court chamber was packed. at the end he said bowers was it was decidedn and is not correct today. bowers is overruled. it was a remarkable moment. overwhelmed by what was happening, many of the gay and lesbian advocates openly solved. for the gay and lesbian community it was occasion for dancing in the streets. erected in cities across the nation. lawrence meant that never again be dismissedghts as facetious. never again would they have to wonder whether equal justice under law included them. the constitution was now their constitution to. a group of veterans who been expelled from military service proudly saluted as the rainbow flag was lowered and an american flag was raised in its place. history theamerican notion that a man could marry another man. seemed utterly absurd. in 1990 however four years after bowers three gay couples in hawaii applied

pat robertson, and jim and tammy baker came to miami in favor of the repeal. the county voters repealed ordinance by an overwhelming margin. the victory generated momentum for a new religion-based anti-gay movement. it took on an ugly tone as bumper stickers appeared with such messages as kill a queer for christ. many laws were enacted to her vent determination -- to prevent the determination. the loss promoted child molesting -- the laws promoted child molesting. jerry falwell said that homosexuals do not reproduce, they recruit. and many are after your children. they saw this fight as a religious battle for the christian soul of america. soon thereafter, aids struck the gay community with a vengeance. as the disease became associated in the public mind with homosexuality, the christian right deemed aids god's punishment. the reagan administration, which had actively courted the christian right, had no interest in devoting government time or money to an illness that was thought to threaten only gay men. over the course of the next decade, aids ravaged the hom

pat robertson, all these guys in the past grabbed something and zoomed on it. >> let's talk about trump's words "be careful." that can be seen as a word of caution. if i'm telling my friend to be careful crossing the street. somebody who is actually worried about me. or it cold also be seen as a threat. what is trump's message here, doug? >> i think it's a threat. i think what he's saying, and i'll take pat's point as my point of departure. i think he's saying, hillary continues to play the gender card as she has, and as the democrats have, he is going to raise the questions of bill clinton's personal behavior the way hillary clinton has reacted to things and raise a series of issues that were litigated in the past and arguably have been resolved to the benefit, politically, of the clintons. but that's not to say that in the republican primary where there's a lot of anger to the clintons, that that will not help trump. but john's point is also important. voters vote on issues. the budget is an issue, the reconciliation is an issue, and national security is an issue. >> pat, i know you are

anyone who has looked at pat robertson and santorum knows cruz is going to be there.ing to be three, not four in order for the establishment to survive the others have to stay out. but you add up the categories, they don't contend with the 39, 40% that donald trump has. >> the establishment versus the anti-establishments. i would say the moderates versus the extremist. you have a moderate lane who are more helpful in defeating isis. in that lane you have jeb bush and marco rubio. and then you have a wing that sounds more hateful and less helpful when it comes with dealing with muslims and you have ted cruz and a donald trump. there are two primarying going on. who is going to represent the helpful wing and who is going to represent the wing that sounds hateful. rubio is struggling. he cannot breakthrough because you're right, there is not enough of a clearing of the field for the moderates. >> we're not talk -- >> i love how you are on the other side defining us. >> and that helpful wing is what we've had for the last eight years and have lost with. i look at the othe

for example, that of john ashcroft as attorney general which placated pat robertson and other members of the religious right who would grown concerned about the new president. is to supreme court justices, 40 justice on courts of appeal. and delicate as policy. as ross perot used to say this is where the rubber hits the road. there's no better indication of what you think than what you do and bush's policies are very telling. the white house office of faith-based and community initiatives, two rounds of tax cuts, tw most of that i think fs three square with conservatism, right? there's not too much wiggle room. other aspects of his policy agenda and his record do not square with it with a doctrinaire conservatism. i'm not the first to notice the spirit others have commented but these include things like no child left behind certainly. also his immigration reform proposal is controversial then, still especially for his party today. the 2003 pepfar aids program, others have talked about this conference. certainly the t.a.r.p. program in which bush said he was having to satisfy doctrinai

pat robertson won it in '88. neil: barack obama won it. >> yeah.hillary ultimately. neil: even though he lost new hampshire? >> yeah. i'm telling you what you see among the establishment republicans right now is a really -- i reported in the summer they were freaked out by donald trump and cruz. neil: it's their point, charlie, that they sank sert of what john mccain thinks, you're going to lose women because trump comes back to say look at all the new voters you get, young men in the independent vote. >> trump goes beyond that. trump says i'm going to get the latino vote. neil: and 100% of the muslim vote. >> yeah, you say that. neil: do you think there is truth to that. rather than republicans fearing him, he is going to bring in all new votes. >> i can tell you what the establishment says, whether it's true or not, i can't tell you. they believe his polarization hurts in a national race. neil: do you? looking at the numbers, the new types he's bringing in? >> i can tell you this, ted cruz has done -- he's a smart guy. he's unveiled data which sh

pat robertson won iowa, look what happened? does it matter.will take on new hampshire, south carolina and man, oh, man, what can happen then. >> right. i think that is a very good point. to put everything in perspective the combined delegates allocated from iowa and new hampshire are 53. you need 1237 to secure the nomination. that is 53 compared to say super tuesday headlined by florida, ohio and illinois, which is winner-take-all day where there are 353 delegates at stake. so, it feeds into narrative, eric, trump has successfully throwing out there. that he is the head mo that will be hard to stop. if he is stopped anywhere, at least it creates great storylines, put as great amount of pressure on trump not just the new hampshire primary on the 89th. maybe more importantly the -- 8th, the debate a few days before then when trump has to encourage voters to take heart that he is just getting started and has momentum to come. eric: if he loses iowa or come in second that will fire up his supporters. finally what do you think will happen? what do

the movement to coalition politics in iowa can trace roots back to the upstart candidacy of pat robertson, the founder of the christian coalition finished second in iowa that year, alerting the party to an untapped and vital voting block. >> these are very, very faithful caucus goers. they really show up. they're not going to miss the caucuses. >> they don't often miss church on sunday. republican candidates know that very well. michael shure, al jazeera, des moines. >> while cruz gains in iowa, trump is number one in the national polls. drew harwell is the national business reporter at the washington post. he says if frump doesn't win the nomination, he's still benefiting from the primary race. >> he has made so many different groups of people so mad and yet he has a really strong base that has supported him and that has only liked him more as the time has gone on. trump's main business is donald j. trump, selling his own name and his own brand. this has all been fantastic for him. he is selling more books. his name is on p.b. all the time. he is i don't think sweating this a lot. when h

>> pat robertson, that gives us our opening. y he was considering run for president. it was pat buchanan. >> so we're doing the nickname pat. >> it remoreminded me of this. the second reason, is patrick buchanan. he has the virng of plain speaking but he often says stupid things. for example, the latest being his comments about questioning whether -- whether the u.s. was right to stop hitler. it took three days for elizabeth dole and john mccain to react. and now listen to his conclusion. this underscores the problem. -- >> can you believe it? donald trump writing this? prescient. about himself. >> yes. maybe this was the secret to his success all along. >> there have been moments. pat buchanan. process ross pero in 92. maybe donald trump is studying where they went wrong and replicating. >> he also talked about pat buchanan's plain speaking. he also recognized why buchanan was doing well there. one of the questions going in is which candidate will stand up to donald trump and talk about the ban on muslims. a better question migh

. >> pat robertson? >> yes, 1988. evangelical play, cruz trying to broaden out. he ran against the establishment candidate, then vice president george herbert walker bush. also, pat buchanan. another ideological play. ultimately didn't win. george herbert walker bush wins the presidency. >> great to talk to you. thanks for the history lesson. we're following a lot of news this morning. let's get right to it. >>> donald trump and senator ted cruz just five points apart. his front-runner status is being challenged by cruz in the state of iowa. >> what's wrong with this temperament? >> when you look at the way he's dealt with the sfat, frankly like a little bit of a maniac, you're never going to get things done that way. >> we're going to hunt down these terrorists wherever they try to hide. >> could a change in strategy be brewing? >> an exhaustive three-day fbi search of that lake in san bernardino, california, has recovered no items. >> not only did she support violent jihad but she wanted to be part of it. >> they di

pat robertson didn't win iowa but the break out guy in '88. did nothing in new hampshire.l it the establishment lane. secular lane. new hampshire is maybe the most secular state in the country. >> i was thinking about kerry in 2004 as you're aware was able to parlay his iowa win to new hampshire. you don't see that happening with ted cruz. >> iowa and new hampshire in a way they aren't on the democratic side are separated. we come to a point where you get one person out of each state. this is why i think the establishment has to stop trump in new hampshire. they won put a win on the board. if they don't stop trump in new hampshire i don't know how you jump start your campaign if you're rubio or bush. so don't go anywhere. stay with us. still ahead by one estimate it can cost $500,000 to destroy an isis pickup truck and it adds up. the u.s. is spending $11 every day. senator chris coons says it's a blank check for wars. he joins us next and explains it to us. this is the pursuit of perfection. but cuz we use charmins we don't haultra softto get clean. charmin ultra soft get
