. 27 PAST THE HOUR.
JOINING US ON THE PHONE, REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTIAL
CANDIDATE DONALD TRUMP. IF WERE PRESIDENT RIGHT NOW,
WHAT WOULD BE THE FIRST, SECOND AND THIRD THING YOU WOULD DO IN
THE STRATEGY TO DEFEAT ISIS? IF I WERE PRESIDENT, WE
PROBABLY WOULDN'T BE IN THE PROBLEMS WE ARE RIGHT NOW.
WE HAVE AN ATTACK AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN WE BOMB THE SITES.
WE SHOULD HAVE BOMBED THE SITES A LONG TIME AGO, TRAINING AREAS
LARGELY. WHY IS IT THAT WE TAKE THEM OUT
NOW AFTER THIS THERE'S THIS VICIOUS AND VIOLENT ATTACK.
THE OTHER PROBLEM, WE HAVE A PRESIDENT THAT DOESN'T AND WON'T
USE THE TERM RADICAL ISLAM EK TERRORISM.
HILLARY CLINTON DIDN'T WANT TO USE THE TERM THE OTHER DAY IN
THE DEBATE, WHICH WAS A RIDICULOUS AND TERRIBLE DEBATE,
A JOKE. ALL THREE OF THEM REFUSED TO USE
THE TERM RADICAL ISLAM BEING TERRORISM.
THEY JUST CAN'T SAY IT. WHY IS IT IMPORTANT, DONALD?
BECAUSE IF YOU CONDITION DEFINE THE PROBLEM, YOU'RE NEVER
GOING TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM, JOE. THEY REFUSE TO SAY WHAT THE
PROBLEM IS. YOU'D ALMOST THINK THEY HAVE THE
TERRORISTS COMING OUT FROM SWEDEN.
THE PROBLEM IS OBVIOUS. SO WHAT DO YOU DO AS FAR AS
TROOPS GO? HERE'S WHAT I WOULD DO.
I'VE BEEN SAYING THIS FOR A LONG TIME.
I WOULD HAVE -- IF YOU REMEMBER WHEN I SAID ATTACK THE OIL BUS
THAT'S THEIR PRIMARY SOURCE OF WEALTH.
PEOPLE SMILED AND THEY LAUGHED AND THOUGHT IT WAS A JOKE AND
THEY THOUGHT IT WAS FUNNY. NOW AS OF TWO DAYS AGO, THEY'RE
ATTACKING THE OIL. I WOULD ABSOLUTELY OBLITERATE
THEIR SOURCE OF WEALTH AND I WOULD ALSO ATTACK THE BANKING
SYSTEM BECAUSE THEY'RE GETTING TREMENDOUS AMOUNTS FUND THROUGH
A VERY COMPLEX NETWORK OF BANK WILLING.
FIRST OF ALL, ON THE OIL, I AGREE WITH YOU COMPLETELY.
AND HAVE I BEEN SAYING THAT FOR A LONG TIME IN.
I'VE BEEN SAYING THAT FOR A LONG TIME.
THERE'S ONE DIFFERENCE. I ALSO SAID I'D KEEP THE OIL.
WE NEVER KEEP ANYTHING. SO I WANT TO -- MIKE
BARNICLE, I'M GOING TO LET YOU FOLLOW UP.
HE'S STARTING TO TALK ABOUT WHAT YOU'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT AND
WE'VE BEEN READING ABOUT THIS WEEK AND THAT SOME OF OUR CLOSE
ALLIES IN THE GULF STATES HAVE PEOPLE THAT HAVE BEEN FUNNELING
MONEY TO ISLAMIC EXTREMISTS OVER THE PAST 20 YEARS AND THEY'VE
TURNED A BLIND TO IT AND WE'VE TURNED A BLIND EYE TO THEM.
WE'VE TALKED ABOUT GOING TO WAR MILITARILY AND A CYBER WAR BUT
THERE'S A BANKING -- WHAT WOULD YOU DO IN TERMS OF
LOCATING, FREEZING THE ASSETS OF CERTAINLY SOME INDIVIDUAL IN THE
MIDDLE EAST WHO HAVE A LONG TRACK RECORD OF RAISING AND
SENDING MONEY TO TERROR GROUPS? YOU KNOW THE COUNTRIES AND I
KNOW THE COUNTRIES, TOO. THE COUNTRIES ARE OBVIOUS AND
THEY'RE VERY RICH AND THEY'RE SENDING MONEY TO THE TERRORISTS,
TO ISIS. TREMENDOUS AMOUNTS OF MONEY.
IT CAN BE TRACKED AND FAIRLY EASILY TRACKED IF WE HAVE
INTELLIGENCE PEOPLE LEADING OUR COUNTRY BUT WE DON'T.
SOME OF THEM CLAIM TO BE OUR FRIEND BUT THEY'RE NOT OUR
FRIEND. THEY'RE USING US AND USING
EVERYBODY ELSE. THEY'RE RIPPINGS LEFT AND RIGHT.
THEY'RE ACTUALLY MORE POLITICAL THAN ANYBODY ELSE.
THEY'RE TAKING CARE OF THE TERRORISTS, THEY'RE TAKING CARE
OF THE UNITED STATES WHO GIVES THEM PROTECTION.
TREMENDOUS MONEY IS POURING INTO ISIS AND OTHER TERRORIST GROUPS
THROUGH VERY WEALTHY COUNTRIES THAT WE THINK ARE OUR FRIEND AND
THEY'RE NOT OUR FRIEND. STEVE SCHMIDT.
MR. TRUMP, GOOD MORNING. WHEN WE TALK ABOUT OBLITERATING
ISIS, DESTROYING ISIS, ARE YOU PREPARED TO TELL THE AMERICAN
PEOPLE WE WILL DEPLOY LARGE NUMBER OF REGULAR ARMTY FORCES
BACK TO THE MIDDLE EAST TO -- NO, I'M NOT.
OF ALL OF THE FOLKS THAT ARE OUT THERE FIGHTING, THE KURDS ARE
OUT THERE FIGHTING. AND THANK YOU FOR SAYING NICE
THINGS TO ME, YOU WERE THERE A LONG TIME -- STEVE WAS THERE
LONG BEFORE A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE I WILL TELL YOU.
LET'S GET BACK TO -- HE WON'T LET ME GIVE YOU A
COMPLIMENT, STEVE. LET'S LET THE COMPLIMENT SINK
IN. OKAY.
NOW LET ME FOLLOW UP ON THE QUESTION.
GO AHEAD. SO WILL YOU AT LEAST BE
WILLING TO SEASONED 10,000 U.S. TROOPS OVER THERE?
YES, I WOULD. BUT I'D IENGAGE OTHER COUNTRIES.
YOU LOOK AT SOME OF THOSE COUNTRIES WHO HAVE NO SKIN IN
THE GAME AND THOSE ARE THE ONES WE'RE PROTECTING.
I WOULD TELL THEM IT'S TIME FOR TO YOU GET OUT AND FIGHT AND
TIME FOR YOU TO PUT UP YOUR TROOPS OR PUT YOUR SO-CALLED
BOOTS ON THE GROUND OR PUT YOUR PEOPLE ON THE GROUND BECAUSE
WE'RE NOT GOING TO CONTINUE TO DO THIS BUT IN THE MEANTIME WE
CAN DO TREMENDOUS DAMAGE. AS AN EXAMPLE, AND I SAID IT
BEFORE, WHY DIDN'T WE HIT THESE SITES SIX MONTHS AGO AND A YEAR
AGO? WE KNEW THEY WERE THERE.
WE KNEW THEY WERE TRAINING AREAS.
WE HAVE TO MAKE A DEAL WITH TURKEY AND STOP THESE PEOPLE
FROM COMING IN THROUGH THE TURKISH BORDER.
CHRIS JANSING HAS A QUESTION. WE HAD BILL BRATTON ON
EARLIER. WE KNOW WHAT YOU'VE SAID ABOUT
IMMIGRATION AND ABOUT SEALING THE U.S. BORDERS.
BUT BEYOND THAT IS THERE SOMETHING THAT YOU WOULD DO HERE
IN THE HOMELAND THAT YOU THINK IS NOT BEING DONE NOW TO PROTECT
UNITED STATES CITIZENS? WELL, YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO
WATCH AND STUDY THE MOSQUES BECAUSE A LOT OF TALK IS GOING
ON AT THE MOSQUES. AND FROM WHAT I HEARD IN THE OLD
DAYS MEANING A WHILE AGO, WE HAD GREAT SURVEILLANCE GOING ON IN
AND AROUND MOSQUES AND NEW YORK CITY AND I UNDERSTAND OUR MAYOR
TOTALLY CUT THAT OUT. HE TOTALLY CUT IT OUT.
I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'VE BROUGHT THAT UP AND I'M NOT SURE IT A
FACT BUT I HEARD THAT UNDER THE OL' REGIME, WE HAD TREMENDOUS
SURVEILLANCE GOING ON IN AND AROUND THE MOSQUES OF NEW YORK
CITY. AND THAT'S BEEN TOTALLY CUT OUT.
CHRIS, YOU DID A LOT OF REPORTING THIS WEEKEND.
I THINK I PICKED UP THIS WEEKEND THAT THE FRENCH SAID THEY WILL
SHUT DOWN MOSQUES. THAT HAVE RADICAL LEADERSHIP.
THEY -- THEY WILL GO IN AND SHUT DOWN
MOSQUES? THERE'S TALK ABOUT THAT IN
MANY PLACES. DONALD TRUMP, THE FRENCH ARE
TALKING ABOUT THAT. IS THIS SOMETHING YOU WOULD
CONSIDER DOING AS PRESIDENT? WELL, I WOULD HATE IT DO IT
BUT IT'S SOMETHING THAT YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO STRONGLY
CONSIDER BECAUSE SM OF THE IDEAS AND SOME THE HATRED, THE
ABSOLUTE HATRED IS COMING FROM THESE AREAS OPINI.
YOU KNOW, NEW YORK CITY AS AN EXAMPLE.
WE HAD A GROUP OF PEOPLE FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND THAT REALLY
KNEW WHAT THEY WERE DOING, THAT WERE REALLY STUDYING THE
SITUATION AND THEY'RE NOT DOING THAT ANYMORE UNDER THE NEW
MAYOR. AND I THINK THAT'S A MISTAKE.
IT'S SOMETHING THAT MANY PEOPLE ARE CONSIDERING AND MANY PEOPLE
ARE GOING TO DO. BUT ARE YOU CONCERNED AT ALL
ABOUT THE BACKLASH THAT CAN CREATE?
AND THE HATRED THAT CAN BREED? THERE AS ALREADY HATRED.
IT'S EMBEDDED. IT IS BEYOND BELIEF.
THE HATRED GREATER THAN ANYBODY UNDERSTAND.
AND IT ALREADY THERE. IT NOT LIKE, WHAT, DO YOU THINK
THEY THINK WE'RE GREAT PEOPLE? IT'S ALREADY THERE.
IT'S A VERY, VERY SAD SITUATION. AND I KNOW SEM PEOPLE, WILL
THEY'RE BEING SO BADLY -- WOULD AGREE, DONALD, THAT
THIS IS JUST A SMALL PERCENTAGE OF THESE RADICAL MUSLIMS ARE A
SMALL PERCENTAGE OF THE ENTIRE MUSLIM POPULATION.
YES, BUT IT'S A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF HORROR AND DAMAGE AND
VITRIOL. YOU LOOK AT WHAT'S HAPPENING.
THIS IS SOMETHING THAT HAS TO BE STOPPED AND WE HAVE TO BE VERY
STRONG, WE HAVE TO BE VEJ LAIGI AND WE HAVE TO BE INTELLIGENCE.
THEY'RE USING THE INTERNET, JOE, BETTER THAN WE ARE.
AND THAT WAS THE BELGIAN PRIME MINISTER THAT WAS TALKING
ABOUT SHUTTING DOWN SPECIFIC MOSQUES.
OBVIOUSLY WE HAVE THE FIRST AMENDMENT IN THE UNITED STATES
OF AMERICA, THAT AIN'T GOING TO HAPPEN HERE.
THAT SAID, THOUGH, WE WERE POST 9/11 FAR MORE AGGRESSIVE IN
TRYING TO SEEK OUT THE RADICAL CLERICS TO RADICALIZE CERTAIN
MEMBERS OF MOSQUES IN THE UNITED STATES.
I THINK PART OF THE PROBLEM AND WE LOOK AT THE DEMOCRATIC
