[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
>> WELCOME BACK, EVERYBODY,
TO THE FOX NEWS REPUBLICAN
PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE LIVE
FROM THE FOX THEATER HERE IN
DETROIT.
LET'S GET BACK NOW TO THE
QUESTIONS.
MR. TRUMP, YOUR CAMPAIGN
WEBSITE TO THIS DAY ARGUES
THAT MORE VISAS FOR HIGHLY
SKILLED WORKERS WOULD,
QUOTE, ACCEPT AMERICAN
WORKERS, HOWEVER AT THE CNBC
DEBATE YOU SPOKE IN FAVOR OF
THESE VISAS, WHAT IS IT.
>> I'M CHANGING.
WE NEED HIGHLY SKILLED
PEOPLE IN THIS COUNTRY.
IF WE CAN'T DO IT, WE WILL
GET THEM IN.
AND WE DO NEED IN SILICON
VALLEY WE ABSOLUTE6OÑ HAVE TO
HAVE.
SO WE DO NEED HIGHLY
SKILLED.
ONE OF THE BIGGEST PROBLEMS
WE HAVE PEOPLE WILL GO TO
THE BEST COLLEGES, THEY WILL
GO TO HARVARD, TO STANTON,
TO WHARTON, AS SOON AS THEY
ARE FINISHED THEY GET SHOVED
OUT.
THEY WANT TO STAY IN THIS
COUNTRY.
THEY WANT TO STAY HERE
DESPERATELY.
THEY ARE NOT ABLE TO STAY
HERE.
FOR THAT PURPOSE, WE
ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO BE ABLE
TO KEEP THE BRAIN POWER IN
THIS COUNTRY.
>> YOU ARE ABANDONING THE
POSITION ON YOUR WEBSITE.
>> I'M CHANGING IT AND I'M
SOFTENING THE POSITION
BECAUSE WE HAVE TO HAVE
TALENTED PEOPLE IN THIS
COUNTRY.
>> AND YOU ARE NOT RELEASING
THE DISCUSSION WITH THE "NEW
YORK TIMES" BEHIND CLOSED
DOORS?
>> THAT'S CORRECT.
>> WHICH WILL HAVE SOME
ASKING WHETHER ON YOUR
IMMIGRATION POLICIES YOU ARE
REALLY JUST PLAYING TO
PEOPLE'S FANTASIES WHICH IS
A TACTIC YOU PRAISED IN YOUR
BOOK "THE ART OF THE DEAL."
>> I'M NOT PLAYING TO
ANYBODY'S FANTASIES.
I'M PLAYING TO THE FACT THAT
OUR COUNTRY IS IN TROUBLE.
WE HAVE A TREMENDOUS PROBLEM
WITH CRIME.
THE BORDER IS A DISASTER.
IT'S LIKE A PIECE OF SWISS
CHEESE, AND WE'RE GOING TO
STOP IT.
WE'RE GOING TO IT BE
STOPPING PEOPLE FROM COMING
INTO OUR COUNTRY ILLEGALLY.
WE'RE GOING TO STOP IT.
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
>> SENATOR CRUZ, NOT LONG
AGO YOU PROPOSED
QUINTUPLETTING.
AFTER RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT
YOUhy REVERSED YOURSELF CITING
THE PROGRAM HAD BEEN ABUSED.
THE ABUSE HAD BEEN AROUND
BEFORE YOUR 180.
IT WAS SO BAD A GROUP OF
SENATORS CALLED FOR
INVESTIGATION AND YOU
DECLINED TO JOIN THEM.
ISN'T IT A GOOD THING THAT
THE AMERICAN PUBLIC DIDN'T
TRUST TED ON THAT ONE?
>> THE ABUSE OF THE H 1 B
PROGRAM HAS BEEN RAMPANT AND
IN THE FACE OF THAT H 1 B
ABUSE I HAVE PROPOSED AND
PROMISED AS PRESIDENT THAT I
WILL IMPOSE 180 DAY
MORATORIUM ON THE H 1 B
PROGRAM TO IMPLEMENT A
COMPREHENSIVE INVESTIGATION
AND AUDIT BECAUSE YOU HAVE
GOT U.S. COMPANIES THAT ARE
FIRING AMERICAN WORKERS,
BRINGING IN FOREIGN WORKERS,
AND FORCING THEM TO TRAIN
THEIR REPLACEMENTS.
AND I WOULD NOTE THAT IS NOT
DISSIMILAR TO WHAT WE
DISCOVERED AT THE LAST
DEBATE CONCERNING THE HOTEL
THAT DONALD OWNS DOWN IN
FLORIDA.
DOWN IN FLORIDA THAT HOTEL
HAS BROUGHT IN HUNDREDS OF
FOREIGN WORKERS.
AND AFTERWARDS IT WAS REALLY
STRIKING.
I WATCHED A CNN INTERVIEW
DONALD DID WHERE HE
EXPLAINED HE SAID WELL, THE
PROBABLE IS YOU CAN'T FIND
AMERICANS WHO ARE QUALIFIED
O©[!= WANT TO WORK AS
WAITERS OR WAITRESSES.
LET ME ASK THE PEOPLE HERE,
HOW MANY PEOPLE HERE HAVE
WORKED AS A WAITER OR
WAITRESS?
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
MILLIONS ACROSS THIS
COUNTRY.
THAT IS AN ASTONISHING
STATEMENT.
MARCO'S DAD STARTED AS
BARTENDER.
MY DAD STARTED WASHING
DISHES AND, YET, DO YOU KNOW
HOW MANY AMERICANS WANTED
THOSE JOBS?
[BELL.
IN.
[.
>> ROUGHLY 300 APPLIED.
DONALD HIRED 17.
THAT'S WHY THIS "NEW YORK
TIMES" TAPE IS SO TROUBLING
BECAUSE WHAT'S BEEN REPORTS
IS THAT DONALD TOLD THE
EDITORIAL BOARD OF THE "NEW
YORK TIMES" WHAT I'M SAYING
ON IMENTD CONGRATULATION I
DON'T BELIEVE.
I'M NOT GOING TO BUILD A
WALL.
I'M NOT GOING TO DEPORT
PEOPLE.
THIS IS ALL JUST RHETORIC
FOR THE VOTERS.
NOW, IF HE DIDN'T SAY THAT
HE HAS AN EASY SOLUTION,
SIMPLY RELEASE THE TAPE.
BUT FOR EVERYONE AT HOME WHO
IS MAD AT POLITICIANS WHO
LIED TO US, DONALD'S RECORD
RIGHT NOW, AS HE IS STANDING
HERE.
>> OKAY.
>> HIS RECORDS RIGHT NOW IS
ONE OF REPEATEDLY HIRING
ILLEGAL ALIENS.
>> YOUR TIME IS UP, SIR.
GO A)Xáy MR. TRUMP.
>> FIRST OF ALL A.
I HAVE HAD TENS OF THOUSANDS
OF PEOPLE WORKING FOR ME.
MOST OF WHICH ALMOST 97, 98%
OF THE PEOPLE I'M PROUD OF.
YOU HAVE THIS CLUB
MAR-A-LAGO CLUB HAS A VERY
SHORT SEASON.
IT'S CALLED THE SEASON.
AND IT GOES FROM NOVEMBER
TILL MARCH.
IT'S A FEW MONTHS, FIVE
MONTHS AT THE MOST.
PEOPLE DON'T WANT A
SHORT-TERM JOB.
THEY DON'T WANT.
SO WE WILL BRING PEOPLE IN
AND WE WILL SEND THE PEOPLE
OUT.
ALL DONE LEGALLY, ALL DONE
WITH THE PROCESS APPROVED BY
GOVERNMENT, 100 PERCENT
APPROVED.
WEAVE BRING PEOPLE IN, WE
BRING THEM OUT.
WHEN WE CAN, WE HIRE PEOPLE
FROM PALM BEACH OR WEST PALM
BEACH.
WE BRING PEOPLE IN, WE BRING
THEM OUT.
WE WANT TO HIRE AS MANY
AMERICANS AS WE CAN BUT THEY
DON'T WANT PART-TIME, VERY
SHORT PART-TIME JOBS.
>> UNDERSTOOD.
THANK YOU.
>> THAT'S NOT ACCURATE.
I'M SORRY, MEGYN, THAT'S NOT
ACCURATE THERE WERE AT LEAST
300 AMERICANS APPLIED LAST
YEAR NONE OF THEM WERE7,B2x
HIRED.
>> WRONG, WRONG.
>> THEY WERE NOT)%I9
>> WRONG.
>> THIS IS WHY HE HIRES THEM
H 2 B.
WHEN YOU BRING THEM IN
SOMEONE FROM ABROAD ON VISAS
THEY CAN'T GO WORK FOR
ANYBODY ELSE.
THEY EITHER WORK FOR YOU OR
GO BACK HOME.
YOU BASICALLY HAVE THEM
CAPTIVE.
DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT
COMPETING HIGHER WAGES WITH
ANOTHER HOTEL DOWN THE
STREET.
THAT'S WHY YOU BRING WORKERS
FROM ABROAD.
YOU ARGUE YOU ARE HERE TO
FIGHT ON BEHALF OF THE
AMERICAN WORKER, WHEN YOU
HAVE CHANCES TO HELP THE
AMERICAN WORKERS YOU ARE
MAKING YOUR CLOTHES OVERSEAS
AND HIRING YOUR WORKERS FROM
OVERSEAS.
>> GO AHEAD, SIR.
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
>> THE OTHER HOTELS DURING
THE SEASON THEY DO THE SAME
THING.
THEY TAKE IN A LOT OF PEOPLE
BECAUSE YOU CAN'T GET THEM.
CAN'T GET A LOT OF PEOPLE.
LONG-TERM EMPLOYEES WE DON'T
DO THAT BUT SHORT-TERM
EMPLOYEES WE HAVE NO CHOICE
TO DO IT AND OTHER HOTELS IN
THAT VERY, VERY HOT AREA IT
IS A VERY HOT AREA.
IT'S VERY, VERY HARD TO GET
PEOPLE.
OTHER HOTELS DO THE EXACT
SAME THING.
JUST SO YOU UNDERSTAND, JUST
AGAIN, THIS IS A LEGAL
PROCESS.
THIS IS A PROCEDURE.
IT'S PART OF THE LAW.
[BELL]
>> I TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THAT
THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH
IT.
WE HAVE NO CHOICE.
>> DONALD, YOU CAN RESOLVE
THIS ISSUE VERY QUICKLY BY
SIMPLY RELEASING THE "NEW
YORK TIMES" TAPE.
BECAUSE,6o LISTEN, MAYBE IT'S
RIGHT --
>> -- THIS WASN'T ON THE
SUBJECT.
>> MISLEADING THE AMERICAN
PEOPLE.
>> THIS WAS NOT ON THE
SUBJECT.
>> IF YOU DIDN'T TELL THEM
THAT THE TAPES WILL PROVE
YOU ARE INNOCENT.
IF, IN FACT, YOU WENT TO
MANHATTAN AND SAID I'M LYING
TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, THEN
THE VOTERS HAVE A RIGHT TO
KNOW.
>> NO, NO.
YOU ARE THE LYING GUY UP
HERE.
YOU ARE THE ONE.
>> RELEASE THE TAPES.
>> YOU ARE THE ONE.
>> RELEASE THE TAPES.
WHAT ARE YOU HIDING IN THE
TAPES?
>> EXCUSE ME, I HAVE GIVEN
MY ANSWER, LYING TED.
>> LET'S LEAVE IT AT THAT.
WE HAVE MORE TO GET TO.
>> GENTLEMEN, THE NEXT TOPIC
TO DISCUSS IS TERRORISM.
SENATOR RUBIO, ISIS IS A BIG
TOPIC OF CONVERSATION ON
FACEBOOK.
WE HAVE A MAP THAT SHOWS THE
CONSERVATION ABOUT ISIS
AROUND THE COUNTRY.
YOU PROPOSE SENDING A LARGER
NUMBER OF AMERICAN GROUND
TROOPS TO HELP DEFEAT ISIS
IN SYRIA AND IRAQ.
BUT MILITARY COMMANDERS SAY
THE BIGGEST ISIS THREAT IN
EUROPE IN PARTICULAR NOW IS
COMING FROM LIBYA, NOT
SYRIA.
SO JUST TO BE CLEAR, IF YOU
ARE FOR PUTTING>) MORE U.S.
GROUND TROOPS IN IRAQ AND
SYRIA, ARE YOU ALSO READY TO
SEND U.S. GROUND TROOPS ON
THE GROUND IN LIBYA?
>> BRIT, WHAT I HAVE ARGUED
FROM THE VERY BEGINNING IS
IN ORDER TO DEFEAT ISIS YOU
MUST DENY THEM OPERATING
SPACES.
THIS IS HOW ISIS OR ANY
GROUP CAN GROW.
IT'S HOW AL QAEDA WAS ABLE
TO CARRY OUT 9/11 AL GAVE
THEM OPERATING SPACE IN
AFGHANISTAN.
I HAVE BEEN WARNING ABOUT
THE LIBYAN PRESENCE FOR THE
BETTER PART OF TWO YEARS.
SO THEY NEED TO BE TARGETED
WHEREVER THEY HAVE AN
OPERATING SPACE.
THEY DO NEED TO BE DEFEATED
ON THE GROUND BY A GROUND
FORCE MADE UP PRIMARILY OF
SUNNI ARABS THEMSELVES.
THIS IS A RADICAL SUNNI
MOVEMENT.
THEY CAN ONLY BE DEFEATED IF
THEY'RE DRIVEN OUT AND
TERRITORY HELD BY SUNNI
ARABS IT.
IT WILL REQUIRE A SPECIFIC
SNUB OF SPECIAL AMERICAN
OPERATORS INCREASE IN AIR
STRIKES.
AND THAT WILL INCLUDE, IF
NECESSARY, OPERATING SPACES
IN LIBYA WHICH, IN FACT,
THEY ARE USING TO PROJECT
INTO THE SINAI AGAINST EGYPT
AND ULTIMATELY INTO EUROPE
AS WELL.
>> GOVERNOR KASICH, COULD
YOU PUT GROUND TROOPS IN
LIBYA?
>> FIRST OF ALL, TO BE
CLEAR, NOT ONLY DID I
FOR 18 YEARS ON THE DEFENSE
COMMITTEE, MORE THAN ANYBODY
ON THIS STAGE, BUT,
SECONDLY, I WAS CALLED INTO
THE PENTAGON AFTER 9/11 TO
HELP SECRETARY RUMSFELD WITH
SOME OF HIS DIFFICULTIES.
I WILL SAY, LOOK, LET ME
TELL YOU WHAT HAPPENED WITH
LIBYAENED A I POINTED OUT IN
THE LAST DEBATE, HILLARY
CLINTON WORKED AGGRESSIVELY
TO DEPOSE MOM MUAMMAR
QADDAFI.
HE WAS WORKING WITH US, HE
WAS COOPERATING WITH US HE
DENUCLEARIZED.
THEY PUSHED HIM OUT AND NOW
WE HAVEv-A FERTILE GROUND FOR
ISIS.
FEW CITIES ON THE COAST.
MOST OF LIBYA IS DESERT.
THE FACT OF THE MATTER IS WE
ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO BE AND
NOT JUST WITH SPECIAL
FORCES, I MEAN, THAT'S NOT
GOING TO WORK.
COME ON, YOU HAVE GOT TO GO
BACK TO THE INVASION WHEN WE
PUSHED SADDAM HUSSEIN OUT OF
KUWAIT.
WE HAVE TO BE THERE ON THE
GROUND IN SIGNIFICANT
NUMBERS.
WE DO HAVE TO INCLUDE OUR
MUSLIM-ARAB FRIENDS TO WORK
WITH US ON THAT.
AND WE HAVE TO BE IN THE
AIR.
IT SHOULD BE A BROAD
COALITION MADE UP OF THE
KINDS OF PEOPLE THAT WERE
INVOLVED WHEN WE DEFEATED IS
SADDAM.
YOU HAVE TO BE ON THE AIR
AND ON THE GROUND IRAQ.
SOME POINT WE HAVE TO DEAL
WITH LIBYA.
I'M VERY CONCERNED WITH ISIS
GETTING THEIR HANDS ON THE
OIL FIELDS AND LIBYA BEING
ABLE TO FUND THEIR
OPERATION.
[BELL]
>> THE FACT IS COOL, CALM,
DELIBERATE, EFFECTIVE, TAKE
CARE OF THE JOB AND THEN
COME HOME.
THAT'S WHAT WE NEED TO DO
WITH OUR MILITARY FOREIGN
POLICY.
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
>> MR. TRUMP, JUST YESTERDAY
ALMOST 100 FOREIGN POLICY POLICY
ALMOST 100 FOREIGN POLICY POLIC
EXPERTS SIGNED ON TO AN OPEN
LETTER REFUSING TO SUPPORT YOU,
SAYING YOU'RE EMBRACING
EXPANSIVE USE OF TORTURE AS
INEXCUSABLE.
GENERAL MICHAEL HAYDEN, NSA
DIRECTOR, OTHER EXPERTS HAVE
SAID WHEN YOU ASKED THE U.S.
MILITARY TO CARRY OUT SOME OF
YOUR CAMPAIGN PROMISES,
SPECIFICALLY TARGETING
TERRORISTS' FAMILIES AND ALSO
THE USE OF INTERROGATION METHODS
MORE EXTREME THAN WATERBOARDING,
THE MILITARY WILL REFUSE BECAUSE
THEY'VE BEEN TRAINED TO TURN
DOWN AND REFUSE ILLEGAL ORDERS.
SO WHAT WOULD YOU DO, AS
COMMANDER IN CHIEF, IF THE U.S.
MILITARY REFUSED TO CARRY OUT
THOSE ORDERS?
>> THEY WON'T REFUSE.
THEY'RE NOT GOING TO REFUSE ME.
BELIEVE ME.
THEY'RE ILLEGAL.
YOU LOOK AT THE MIDDLE EAST.
THEY'RE CHOPPING OFF HEADS.
THEY'RE CHOPPING OFF THE HEADS
OF CHRISTIANS AND ANYBODY ELSE
THAT HAPPENS TO BE IN THE WAY.
THEY'RE DROWNING PEOPLE IN STEEL
CAGES AND NOW WE'RE TALKING
ABOUT WATERBOARDING.
THIS REALLY STARTED WITH TED, A
QUESTION WAS ASKED OF TED
LAST -- TWO DEBATES AGO ABOUT
WATERBOARDING.
AND TED WAS, YOU KNOW, HAVING A
HARD TIME WITH THAT QUESTION, TO
BE TOTALLY HONEST WITH YOU.
THEY THEN CAME TO ME, WHAT DO
YOU THINK OF WATERBOARDING?
I SAID IT'S FINE.
IF WE WANT TO GO STRONGER, I'D
GO STRONGERS,
GO STRONGERS
GO STRONG ES
GO STRONG ERS
GO STRONG ER
GO STRON
GO STRONG
GO STRONGER
GO STRONGER,
GO STRONGER, TO
GO STRONGER, TOO.
FRANKLY, THAT'S THE WAY I FEEL.
CAN YOU IMAGINE THESE PEOPLE,
THESE ANIMALS OVER IN THE MIDDLE
EAST, THAT CHOP OFF HEADS
SITTING AROUND TALKING AND
SEEING THAT WE'RE HAVING A HARD
PROBLEM WITH WATERBOARDING?
WE SHOULD GO FOR WATERBOARDING
AND TOUGHER THAN WATERBOARDING.
>> TARGETING TERRORIST FAMILIES?
>> AND -- AND -- I'M A LEADER,
I'VE ALWAYS BEEN A LEADER.
I'VE NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEM
LEADING PEOPLE.
IF I SAY DO IT, THEY'RE GOING TO
DO IT.
THAT'S WHAT LEADERSHIP IS ALL
ABOUT.
>> EVEN TARGETING TERRORIST
FAMILIES?
>> WELL, LOOK, WHEN A FAMILY
FLIES INTO THE WORLD TRADE
CENTER, A MAN FLIES INTO THE
WORLD TRADE CENTER AND HIS
FAMILY GETS SENT BACK TO WHERE
THEY WERE GOING, AND I THINK
MOST OF YOU KNOW WHERE THEY
WENT, BY THE WAY, IT WASN'T
IRAQ, BUT THEY WENT BACK TO A
CERTAIN TERRITORY, THEY KNEW
WHAT WAS HAPPENING.
THE WIFE KNEW EXACTLY WHAT WAS
HAPPENING.
THEY LEFT TWO DAYS EARLY WITH
RESPECT TO THE WORLD TRADE
CENTER AND THEY WENT BACK TO
WHERE THEY WENT AND THEY WATCHED
THEIR HUSBAND ON TELEVISION
FLYING INTO THE WORLD TRADE
CENTER, FLYING INTO THE
PENTAGON, AND PROBABLY TRYING TO
FLY INTO THE WHITE HOUSE, EXCEPT
WE HAD SOME VERY, VERY BRAVE
SOULS ON THAT THIRD PLANE.
ALL RIGHT?
>> SENATOR CRUZ --
>> I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH IT.
>> SENATOR CRUZ?
>> BRET, I THINK THE AMERICAN
PEOPLE UNDERSTAND THAT YELLING
AND CURSING AT PEOPLE DOESN'T
MAKE YOU A TOUGH GUY.
WE NEED A COMMANDER IN CHIEF
THAT, NUMBER ONE, WILL REBUILD
THE MILITARY JUST LIKE RONALD
REAGAN DID IN 1981 COMING OUT OF
THE WEAK JIMMY CARTER
ADMINISTRATION.
HE PASSED TAX REFORM AND
REGULATORY REFORM.
THE ECONOMY TOOK OFF.
IT GENERATED MILLIONS IN
HIGH-PAYING JOBS, TRILLIONS IN
NEW REVENUE.
HE REBUILT THE MILITARY.
BANKRUPTED THE SOVIET UNION.
AND WON THE COLD WAR.
AS PRESIDENT, I WILL DO THE
EXACT SAME THING WITH RADICAL
ISLAMIC TERRORISM.
WE WILL REBUILD THIS MILITARY SO
THAT IT REMAINS THE MIGHTIEST
FIGHTING FORCE ON THE FACE OF
THE PLANET.
AND THEN WHEN I AM COMMANDER IN
CHIEF, EVERY MILITANT ON THE
FACE OF THE EARTH WILL
UNDERSTAND THAT IF THEY GO AND
JOIN ISIS, IF THEY WAGE JIHAD
AGAINST THE UNITED STATES OF
AMERICA, THEY ARE SIGNING THEIR
DEATH WARRANT.
>> SENATOR CRUZ, IN 2013, YOU
SAID YOU WERE OPEN -- YOU WERE
OPEN TO THE POSSIBILITY THAT
EDWARD SNOWDEN HAD PERFORMED A
CONSIDERABLE PUBLIC SERVICE.
YOU SAID BACK THEN.
IN REVEALING CERTAIN ASPECTS OF
THE NSA PROCEDURES.
MANY OF YOUR COLLEAGUES IN THE
SENATE INCLUDING SENATOR RUBIO
CALLED HIM A TRAITOR.
IT TOOK YOU UNTIL JANUARY OF
THIS YEAR TO CALL HIM A TRAITOR
AND SAY HE SHOULD BE TRIED FOR
TREASON.
WHY THE CHANGE OF HEART?
AND WHY DID IT TAKE YOU SO LONG?
>> WELL, BRET, AS SOMEONE WHO
SPENT MUCH OF HIS LIFE IN LAW
ENFORCEMENT, I BELIEVE YOU
SHOULD START WITH THE FACTS AND
EVIDENCE FIRST BEFORE ENDING UP
WITH THE VERDICT.
WHEN THE NEWS FIRST BROKE OF THE
UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT
ENGAGING IN MASSIVE SURVEILLANCE
ON AMERICAN CITIZENS, THAT WAS A
VERY TROUBLING DEVELOPMENT AND
IT'S WHY THE UNITED STATES
CONGRESS ACTED TO CORRECT IT.
NOW, AT THE SAME TIME, I SAID IN
THAT INITIAL STATEMENT THAT IF
THE EVIDENCE INDICATED THAT
EDWARD SNOWDEN VIOLATED THE LAW,
HE SHOULD BE PROSECUTED FOR
VIOLATING THE LAW AND, INDEED,
SINCE THEN THE EVIDENCE IS CLEAR
THAT NOT ONLY DOES SNOWDEN
VIOLATE THE LAW, BUT IT APPEARS
HE COMMITTED TREASON, TREASON IS
DEFINED UNDER THE CONSTITUTION
AS GIVING AID AND COMFORT TO THE
ENEMIES OF AMERICA AND WHAT
SNOWDEN DID MADE IT EASIER FOR
TERRORISTS TO AVOID DETECTION
AND SNOWDEN'S COMMENTS
AFTERWARDS AND HIS BEHAVIOR
AFTERWARDS, HE FLED TO RUSSIA,
FLED TO CHINA.
HIS CONDUCT AFTERWARDS INDICATES
HE WAS NOT A WHISTLEBLOWER BUT
INSTEAD HE WAS UNDERMINING THE
ABILITY TO DEFEND THIS COUNTRY.
BUT WE NEED A PRESIDENT WHO
ISN'T RASH, WHO DOESN'T JUST POP
OFF AT -- WAITS TO SEE WHAT THE
FACTS ARE AND ACTS TO DEFEND
THIS COUNTRY.
>> MR. TRUMP, YOU REPEATEDLY
DEFLECTED CALLS FOR SPECIFIC
NATIONAL SECURITY OR DEFENSE
POLICY PLANS WITH THE CLAIM THAT
YOU'LL ASK THE BEST PEOPLE WHEN
YOU BECOME PRESIDENT, AND TAKE
THEIR ADVICE.
SO WHO ARE THE BEST PEOPLE?
CAN YOU REVEAL TWO OR THREE
NAMES THAT YOU TRUST FOR
NATIONAL SECURITY?
>> I THINK RICHARD HAAS IS
EXCELLENT.
I HAVE A LOT OF RESPECT FOR HIM.
I THINK GENERAL KAINE IS
EXCELLENT.
I LIKE COLONEL JACOBS VERY MUCH.
I SEE HIM.
I KNOW HIM.
I HAVE MANY PEOPLE I THINK ARE
REALLY EXCELLENT BUT IN THE END
IT'S GOING TO BE MY DECISION.
WHEN YOU JUST ASKED THE QUESTION
ABOUT SNOWDEN, I WILL TELL YOU
RIGHT FROM THE BEGINNING, I SAID
HE WAS A SPY AND WE SHOULD GET
HIM BACK.
AND IF RUSSIA RESPECTED OUR
COUNTRY, THEY WOULD HAVE SENT
HIM BACK IMMEDIATELY, BUT HE WAS
A SPY.
IT DIDN'T TAKE ME A LONG TIME TO
FIGURE THAT ONE OUT.
BELIEVE ME.
BUT I WOULD GET THE BEST PEOPLE,
PEOPLE THAT I'D BE COMFORTABLE
WITH AND WE WILL DO THE RIGHT
THING.
>> BRET, IT'S VERY INTERESTING
TO NOTE, I THINK IT'S FOR THE
GOOD OF THE RECORD HERE THAT
THEY TOOK A SURVEY OF FOREIGN
POLICY MAGAZINES, 700 FOREIGN
POLICY EXPERTS, WHO WOULD BE THE
BEST PERSON TO CONDUCT FOREIGN
POLICY OF ALL THE CANDIDATES IN
THE RACE?
I RECEIVED 55% OF THE VOTE.
JEB BUSH RECEIVED 30% OF THE
VOTE.
AND EVERYBODY ELSE NONE OF THEM
MADE DOUBLE DIGITS.
AND THAT'S BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO
HAVE THE EXPERIENCE.
YOU KNOW, WE HEAR ABOUT RONALD
REAGAN REBUILDING THE MILITARY.
I WAS THERE WHEN RONALD REAGAN
REBUILT THE MILITARY.
I WORKED WITH HIM.
I WAS THERE WHEN RONALD REAGAN
REBUILT THE ECONOMY.
I WAS THERE.
I WORKED WITH HIM.
I KNEW RONALD REAGAN.
AND I'LL LEAVE IT RIGHT THERE
WITH WHAT COMES AFTER THAT.
YOU CAN FIGURE THAT ONE OUT.
>> GOVERNOR KASICH, THANK YOU.
>> WE'RE GOING TO HAVE MORE
QUESTIONS FROM THE CANDIDATES
RIGHT AFTER THIS BREAK AND
DURING THE COMMERCIAL BREAK,
JOIN US FOR A FACEBOOK LIVE ON
THE FOX NEWS FACEBOOK PAGE AND
TELL US WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT
TONIGHT'S DEBATE IN COMMENT
