>> DONALD TRUMP SAYING THAT HE WILL DO A TOTAL AND COMPLETE BAN
ON MUSLIMS IN THE COUNTRY, EVEN DARTH CHENEY CAME OUT AGAINST
THAT. WE WANT TO SHOW YOU SOME OTHERS WHO CAME OUT AGAINST IT
IN THE REPUBLICAN PARTY BECAUSE THEY ARE ALMOST UNIVERSAL IN
CRITICIZING HIM, WHICH THEY ALMOST NEVER DO TO THEIR OWN.
FIRST WE GO TO THE NEW SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE, PAUL RYAN.
>>I DO NOT COMMENT ON WHAT IS GOING ON IN THE PRESIDENTIAL
ELECTION, I WILL MAKE AN EXCEPTION TODAY. THIS IS NOT
CONSERVATISM. WHAT WAS PROPOSED YESTERDAY IS NOT WHAT THIS PARTY
STANDS FOR, AND MORE IMPORTANTLY, IT IS NOT WHAT THIS
COUNTRY STANDS FOR. NOT ONLY ARE THERE MANY MUSLIMS SERVING IN
OUR ARMED FORCES, DYING FOR THIS COUNTRY, THERE ARE MUSLIMS
SERVING RIGHT HERE IN THE HOUSE, WORKING EVERY DAY TO UPHOLD AND
DEFEND THE CONSTITUTION. SOME OF OUR BEST AND BIGGEST ALLIES IN
THIS STRUGGLE AND FIGHT AGAINST RADICAL ISLAMIC TERROR ARE
MUSLIMS. THE VAST, VAST, VAST MAJORITY OF WHOM ARE PEACEFUL.
WHO BELIEVE IN PLURALISM AND FREEDOM. DEMOCRACY.
>>YOU HAVE TO HAND IT TO DONALD TRUMP, HE HAS GOTTEN THE OTHER
REPUBLICANS TO ACTUALLY DEFEND MUSLIMS. I DID NOT THINK THAT
WAS POSSIBLE, BUT THERE IT IS. GIVE PAUL RYAN CREDIT, A RARE
TIME I AGREE WITH HIM, BUT HE IS BASICALLY SAYING TO DONALD
TRUMP, DUDE, WHAT ARE YOU THINKING? YOU CAN'T BAN MUSLIM
VETERANS THAT ARE AMERICAN CITIZENS FROM COMING BACK INTO
THE COUNTRY. YOU CAN'T BAN U.S. CITIZENS FROM COMING INTO
THE COUNTRY. YOU CAN'T BAN ALL MUSLIMS. AND REMEMBER, THE
IRAQIS WE WENT TO LIBERATE ARE MUSLIMS. THE KURDS WHO ARE OUR
BEST ALLIES ON THE GROUND ARE MUSLIMS. HELLO, MCFLY. OF COURSE
THE REST OF THE REPUBLICAN CONTENDERS COME OUT. JEB BUSH
TWEETS --
>>LINDSEY GRAHAM GOES FURTHER. HE SAYS --
>> HE CONTINUES TO SAY --
>> VERY CLEARLY CALLING HIM A BIGOT THERE.
JOHN KASICH, ALSO IN THE RACE, SAYS --
>>DAMN. THEN LINDSEY GRAHAM DID SOMETHING INTERESTING. HE CALLED
OUT ANOTHER PRESIDENTIAL CONTENDER FOR BEING RELATIVELY
QUIET ABOUT THIS. SO THESE GUYS ARE CLEAR, MARCO RUBIO IS STILL
HIDING SOMEWHERE IN THE BUSHES, THERE IS ANOTHER SNAKE IN THE
BUSHES AND HIS NAME IS TED CRUZ. LINDSEY GRAHAM ASKS --
>> IS HE GOING TO DO THAT? HERE IS WHAT CRUZ SAID.
>>I DISAGREE WITH THAT PROPOSAL. I LIKE DONALD TRUMP, A LOT OF
OUR FRIENDS HERE HAVE ENCOURAGED ME TO CRITICIZE AND ATTACK DONALD
TRUMP, I'M NOT INTERESTED IN DOING SO. BUT I BELIEVE WE NEED
A PLAN THAT IS FOCUSED ON THE DIRECT THREAT, AND THE THREAT WE
ARE FACING IS RADICAL ISLAMIC TERRORISM.
>> SO NOT INTERESTED IN CRITICIZING HIM. THIS GUY, HE IS
RIDING TRUMP'S COATTAILS, AND WHEN TRUMP GOES DOWN HE WILL SAY
I AM JUST A SLIGHTLY MORE SOPHISTICATED FACE ON THE SAME
KIND OF XENOPHOBIA AND BIGOTRY. HE REFUSES TO CRITICIZE HIM, HE
SAYS I DON'T AGREE WITH THAT POLICY, BUT IN A LOT OF WAYS HE
HAS PROPOSED IDENTICAL POLICIES. HE JUST PROPOSED THREE BILLS
THAT WOULD KEEP MUSLIMS OUT OF THE COUNTRY. THESE ARE NOT
THOUGHT EXPERIMENTS, THEY ARE BILLS THAT WOULD HAVE THE FORCE
OF LAW. LET ME TELL ONE OF THEM. ONE BILL WOULD PUT A THREE-YEAR
SUSPENSION ON SETTLEMENTS OF REFUGEES FROM COUNTRIES WITH A
SUBSTANTIAL ISLAMIC STATE OR AL QAEDA PRESENCE, WHICH ARE
MAJORITY MUSLIM COUNTRIES. BY THAT STANDARD OF IF THERE
IS SUBSTANTIAL AL QAEDA OR ISIS PRESENCE, WHICH BY THE WAY
INCLUDES NOT ONLY SYRIA BUT IRAQ, OUR ALLIES IN IRAQ, SO
KURDS FIGHTING ON THE GROUND WITH US AGAINST ISIS? IF YOU ARE
IN IRAQ, SORRY, SIGNIFICANT ISIS PRESENCE IN IRAQ, YOU ARE MAINLY
A MUSLIM COUNTRY, YOU ARE BANNED. AND REMEMBER, TED CRUZ,
HIS SPECIFIC PROPOSAL SAID THAT HE WOULD TAKE CHRISTIAN REFUGEES
FROM SYRIA, BUT NOT MUSLIM REFUGEES. THAT IS THE SAME SNAKE,
A DIFFERENT NAME. I DON'T KNOW IF PEOPLE WILL ALSO GO AFTER TED
CRUZ ON HIS HIDEOUS PROPOSALS THAT ARE VERY REAL. BY THE WAY,
SPEAKING OF THE SNAKE IN THE WEEDS, YOU KNOW WHO IS LEADING
IN IOWA? NUMBER ONE? NOT TRUMP, NOT CARSON, NOT RUBIO. TED CRUZ.
SO IF THE ENTIRE REPUBLICAN PARTY HAS TURNED AGAINST DONALD
TRUMP, THE GUY WHO IS POISED TO TAKE HIS PLACE IS, IN REALITY, A
LITTLE MORE SAVVY, KNOWS HOW TO DO POLITICKING AND MARKETING A
LITTLE BETTER THAN DONALD TRUMP, BUT HAS THE SAME PROPOSALS. A
ROSE BY ANY OTHER NAME -- NOT QUITE A ROSE, THOUGH.
