DONALD TRUMP IS
ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL, HE WILL TALK ABOUT TORTURE. YOU WANT TO
GUESS WHAT SIDE HE IS ON? THIS IS NOT A HARD QUIZ. HE'S ON THE
SIDE OF TORTURE. WATERBOARDING IS ILLEGAL, IT IS TORTURE BY ANY
AND EVERY DEFINITION. WE HAVE PROSECUTED PEOPLE FOR IT IN THE
PAST, THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT HAS, AND PUT THEM IN
JAIL FOR A LONG TIME. WE KNOW WE DID DO WATERBOARDING AGAINST THE
LAW DURING THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION, EVEN THE BUSH
ADMINISTRATION 2006 SAID OKAY, FINE, IT IS ILLEGAL, WE
WON'T DO IT ANYMORE. OF COURSE WHEN PRESIDENT OBAMA GOT INTO
OFFICE, HE SAID WE NEVER PROSECUTE ANY CRIMES THAT HAPPEN
IN THE PAST. WHAT A FUNNY WAY TO HANDLE THAT. IF YOU DON'T
PROSECUTE CRIMES FROM THE PAST, I'VE GOT NEWS FOR YOU ñ
YOU DON'T PROSECUTE ANY CRIMES.
PART OF THE REASON OBAMA DID THAT IS, HEY, I'M A PRESIDENT,
IF I BREAK THE LAW I DON'T WANT ANYONE ARRESTING ME. THOSE DAYS
ARE BEHIND US, BECAUSE NOT ONLY DID THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION SAY
ON THE RECORD THEY STOPPED IN 2006 AND WILL NOT DO IT ANYMORE,
THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION CONTINUED TO SAY THAT WE
DEFINITIVELY DO NOT DO WATERBOARDING ANYMORE, AND FOR
THE MOMENT WE DO NOT. UNLESS OF COURSE WE ELECT DONALD TRUMP.
WHAT ARE HIS VIEWS ON IT? LET'S WATCH.
THIS MORNING THEY ASKED ME A QUESTION, WOULD YOU APPROVE
WATERBOARDING? WOULD I APPROVE WATERBOARDING?
WOULD I APPROVE WATERBOARDING? I SAID, LET ME ASK YOU. ON THE
OTHER SIDE, THEY CHOP OFF OUR YOUNG PEOPLE'S HEADS, AND THEY
PUT THEM ON A STICK. ON THE OTHER SIDE, THEY BUILD THESE
IRON CAGES AND THEY WILL PUT 20 PEOPLE IN THEM AND THEY DROP
THEM IN THE OCEAN FOR 15 MINUTES AND PULL THEM UP 15 MINUTES
LATER. WOULD I APPROVE WATERBOARDING? YOU BET YOUR ASS
I WOULD. IN A HEARTBEAT. IN A HEARTBEAT.
THIS GUY IS THE ID OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY. YOU THINK THE
REPUBLICAN BASE DOES NOT WANT WATERBOARDING? THEY JUST WANT
ANYONE IN PUBLIC OFFICE, OR RUNNING FOR OFFICE, TO VALIDATE
THEIR INNER, DARKER THOUGHTS. THEY HAVE ALWAYS FOUGHT, THEY
SAY IT OVER BARBECUE, NOW THEY HAVE A GUY SAYING IT ON STAGE.
THAT IS WHY YOU SEE THE GUYS IN THE BACKGROUND WITH THE TRUMP
SIGNS -- YES, LET'S TORTURE THEM. FINALLY. LET'S MAKE
AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, WITH TORTURE. YOU SEE TRUMP WORKING
THE CROWD. IT IS NOT JUST HIS UGLY THOUGHTS, HE IS DOING IS
PARTLY BECAUSE HE KNOWS IT WILL WORK. HE'S PLAYING TO THE CROWD.
HE IS A NATURAL BORN ENTERTAINER. HE'S POINTING TO THE
CROWD, LIKE, SHOULD I DO WATERBOARDING? AND HE KNOWS THE
ANSWER WILL BE THUNDEROUS APPLAUSE. HE IS LIKE, YEAH,
LET'S DO IT. WAIT A MINUTE, THE SENATE INTELLIGENCE COMMITTEE
REPORT AND EVERYONE WHO HAS EVER STUDIED IT SAY IT DOESN'T WORK.
WE WATERBOARDING KHALED SHEIKH MOHAMMED 183 TIMES. THINK ABOUT
IT, IF IT WORKS, WHY DID WE HAVE TO DO IT THAT MANY TIMES?
OBVIOUSLY IT DIDN'T WORK. THE REAL OBJECTIVE WITH
WATERBOARDING, BY THE WAY, IS NOT TO GET TRUE CONFESSIONS, BUT
TO GET FALSE CONFESSIONS. THAT WAS WHY THE CHINESE ORIGINALLY
DID IT, THEY ARE THE ONES WHO CAME UP WITH THE PRACTICE THAT
WE WOUND UP PUTTING INTO EFFECT HERE IN GUANT¡NAMO BAY AND OTHER
PLACES WHERE WE RAN PRISONS. THE CHINESE WANTED TO GET FALSE
CONFESSIONS OUT OF PRISONERS THEY HAD CAPTURED. YES, YOUR
GOVERNMENT IS DOING THE WRONG THING, THE CHINESE ARE RIGHT.
LATER THE VIETNAMESE OR NORTH VIETNAMESE USED IT. THE U.S.
GOVERNMENT IS DOING TERRIBLE THINGS, YOU ARE RIGHT, WE ARE
WRONG. DICK CHENEY USED IT FOR THE SAME PURPOSE. HE GOT ONE OF
THE TERRORISTS WE CAPTURED, THEY TORTURED HIM AND TORTURED THEM,
HE IS LIKE, WE DID THE ATTACKS AND WE ARE NOT IRAQ. FINALLY
THEY STARTED TO BURY HIM ALIVE AND HE SAID, OH, YOU WANT ME TO
SAY IT IS IRAQ? OKAY, IT'S IRAQ. LATER IT WAS PROVEN THAT
HE MADE IT UP BECAUSE HE THOUGHT HE WAS GOING TO DIE AT THAT
MOMENT. TORTURE DOES WORK IN GETTING FALSE CONFESSIONS.
DONALD WILL TAKE THAT ON.
YOU THINK HE'S GOING TO BE ACCURATE ABOUT THAT?
LET'S FIND OUT.
AND DON'T KID YOURSELF, FOLKS. IT WORKS, OKAY? IT WORKS. ONLY A
STUPID PERSON WOULD SAY IT DOESN'T WORK. IT WORKS. THEY ARE
ALL SAYING, OH, IT HAS NO EFFECT. I KNOW PEOPLE THAT ARE
VERY, VERY IMPORTANT PEOPLE, AND THEY WANT TO BE POLITICALLY
CORRECT. AND I SEE SOME PEOPLE TALKING ON TELEVISION ABOUT, I
DON'T KNOW IF IT WORKS. AND THEY TELL ME LATER ON, IT WORKS.
BELIEVE ME, IT WORKS. AND YOU KNOW WHAT? IF IT DOESN'T WORK,
THEY DESERVE IT ANYWAY FOR WHAT THEY ARE DOING TO US. BUT
ANYWAY, IT WORKS.
WHERE IS YOUR EVIDENCE FOR WHY IT WORKS? I JUST GAVE YOU A TON
OF EVIDENCE WHY IT DOESN'T WORK. THEY STUDIED IT AND THEY TALKED
TO THE PEOPLE WHO DID THE WATERBOARDING, THEY TALKED ABOUT
THE RESULTS. THEY TALKED ABOUT WHETHER THEY GOT INFORMATION
THAT TELLS US ANYTHING TO JUSTIFY WATERBOARDING. THEY CAME
UP WITH NOTHING AFTER TALKING TO HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE RELATED TO
THIS. TRUMP'S EVIDENCE IS, I TALKED TO VERY IMPORTANT PEOPLE
AND THEY TOLD ME OFF THE RECORD THAT IT WORKS. THAT IS HIS
EVIDENCE. AND WHAT DOES THE CROWD DO IN RESPONSE? YOU SAW IT
WITH YOUR OWN EYES. YEAH! AND HE SAID IT TOO -- I DON'T CARE IF
IT DOESN'T WORK. I JUST WANT TO TORTURE THEM. AND WHAT WAS THE
RESPONSE? YEAH, TRUMP. YOU KNOW WHAT? I LOOK AT THAT AND I THINK
OH MY GOD, HE IS GOING TO WIN THE REPUBLICAN NOMINATION. IT IS
NOT A FOREGONE CONCLUSION, I AM NOT SAYING WRITE IT IN STONE,
BUT RIGHT NOW HE'S THE FAVORITE. STOP KIDDING YOURSELF. A 17
POINT LEAD IS A 17 POINT LEAD. THAT IS THE LATEST REUTERS POLL.
THAT IS A GIANT LEAP, AND THE GUY IN SECOND IS BEN CARSON WHO
HAS NO CHANCE OF WINNING. EVERYBODY IS LIKE, MARCO RUBIO.
MARCO RUBIO IS, I THINK THE LAST POLL, IS IN THE TEENS. TRUMP
HAS ABOUT A 30 POINT LEAD ON MARCO RUBIO. WHO ARE YOU
KIDDING? YOU ARE KIDDING YOURSELF. THAT GUY HAS TAPPED
INTO THE VERY CORE OF THE ID OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY, AND THE
REPUBLIC AND PARTY IS MAINLY ID. IT WORKS, IT WILL KEEP ON
WORKING. HE IS YOUR FAVORITE, NO DOUBT ABOUT IT. WHETHER HE CAN
WIN A GENERAL ELECTION, I DON'T KNOW. WHAT, YOU WANT TO COUNT HIM
OUT? YOU COUNTED HIM OUT BEFORE, HOW DID THAT WORK OUT?
THIS MANIAC HAS AT LEAST A 25% CHANCE OF BEING THE MOST
POWERFUL MAN ON EARTH. GOD HELP US ALL.
