So I have your statement on the terror over the weekend. He is going
to read one sentence, quote, "I will bring an end to the senseless
acts of violence wrong to say that we are in a fight about
narratives. These terrorists pose an existential threat to our
country our values and our way of life." I don't know if anybody can
bring an end to individual acts of violence. You know, I mean, I
don't think it's possible. Am I wrong?
TRUMP: Well, one thing you have to do is degrade. What's happening
is they are going around. They feel emboldened and they feel
wonderful. And all of these young people in our country and other
countries are looking up to ISIS. Because ISIS continues to taunt
the United States. They started off on a small area. They are now in
28 countries. Bill. Twenty eight countries. Think of it. This is
during Hillary Clinton's tenure. Twenty eight countries and it was
just reported. And I would tell you, that is disgraceful.
So, you have to bring them down and you have to bring them down
fast. You know that the young people in our country and other
countries. They are looking up to these people. They have respect
for these people. It's like -- let's put it this way, they are
getting good public relations because it looks like they are beating
the United States or certainly like the United States can't beat
them.
O'REILLY: Right. And it certainly is a psychological war as well as
the physical war. But Western Europe hasn't really helped out and I
mean that's going to be a part of the equation for the next
president because Mr. Obama really doesn't. Mr. Obama said today, I
don't know whether you are aware, that his strategy is fine. You
know, just wear them down, wear them down. We don't need really any,
any more action. What he is doing. It's the -- we defined here, the
strategy of acceptable losses. Now, another thing you said that was
very controversial is that you want to profile. You want to profile
Arab or Muslim men. How would that work?
TRUMP: Well, we have no choice. Look, Israel does it. And Israel
does it very successfully.
O'REILLY: They do it at the airports. They do it at the airports.
TRUMP: Well, they do it. They do it. And when they see somebody that
they would like to talk to, that they would like to look at, that
they would maybe like to open up their satchel and take a look
inside, they do it. And they don't like to do it. I don't like to do
it. But we have to be, you know, you have a woman who is 87-year-old
in a wheelchair from Sweden and we have to look at her. We have to
look at somebody else. It's ridiculous what's going on there.
(CROSSTALK)
O'REILLY: So, what would you do though?
TRUMP: If you want to be so politically correct --
O'REILLY: Do you have a vision of how that profiling would work?
TRUMP: It works. And we see somebody that we think there could be a
problem. At airports and other places. You talked to them and you
see what's going on.
O'REILLY: But I think they do that now.
TRUMP: We don't do that.
O'REILLY: You know, look, the alleged bomber here in New York lived
over a chicken stand his father owns in New Jersey. I mean, come on.
And the guy out in Minneapolis, who are in that area, Saint Cloud,
he is a 20-year-old college student. So he needs to just people who
are loons. They just lose it and I don't know if we could ever stop
that.
TRUMP: The guy over the chicken stand brought litigation a lot of
litigation against different people. And I bet you that's why he was
on the list. You know, he was on the list. His father didn't want to
put them because they don't want to get sued. So, they probably saw
he is a litigious guy, and they don't want to get sued so they left
him alone. Who knows what the reason is but whatever the reason is,
it's no good. We have to end this. It's horrible. And one thing I
will say.
I mean, I think they have gained great respect for ISIS and the
leaders of ISIS and you see it all the time. And they are becoming,
they are being radicalized. And Bill, it's going to get worse with
this administration certainly with the way it's gone and with
Hillary Clinton. So I get a kick where Hillary Clinton says, I will
this, and I will that. What's she been doing for the last 30 years?
Remember when she voted for the war. What's she been doing for the
last 30 years? Number one, she voted for the war. What she been
doing for the last 30 years.
O'REILLY: Well, I'd like to know too. I would like to know what her
strategy or how it departs for President Obama. Now she said today
because of your profiling comment. She said that you are a, quote,
"sergeant of recruitment" for Muslim fanatics that once they hear
you say, we are going to come get you and profile you and doing it.
Then they want to sign up. How do you answer that?
TRUMP: It's just words, Bill. You know, it's words given by Madison
Avenue, advertising agency. She is spending hundreds of millions of
dollars. I mean, tremendous vast amounts of money in advertising
against me. They are using, they're talking about, my strongest
thing is my temperament. And they talk about my temperament. They
put things on the board. And then they say, let's go after
temperament. It is my strongest thing according for the people that
know me best. I won't even say it myself. I think maybe even if I
was going to say, my temperament is the best, I don't have a win.
(CROSSTALK)
TRUMP: But the fact is --
O'REILLY: But I want a little more definition. When you say my
strongest suit is my temperament, what does that mean to you?
TRUMP: Well, I know how to win. I know how to win. I have been
winning. I do win. Even in sports. I win. And we don't win. Our
country doesn't win. We don't win at trade. We don't win. We can't
beat ISIS. Can you imagine General Douglas MacArthur or General
Patton? Can imagine they are spinning in their grave right now when
they see the way we fight. We announce that we are sending certain
people over here at a certain time. Everything is political. It's
very, very sad. Then we bomb the Syrian troops. You saw that over
the weekend. We bombed, I guess we killed more than 80 troops. And
now Russia is absolutely furious at us. But we bomb the wrong
people. I mean, we are like the gang that couldn't shoot straight.
Our country, with this leader, is the gang that couldn't shoot
straight. That's what it is.
O'REILLY: All right. That's an old Jimmy Breslin book. Final
question in this segment and then I want to talk to you about the
debates. When you say that you're going it profile certain Muslims,
are you ever worried that the peaceful Muslims, and there are
millions of American -- you know, we don't have a big problem here
with Muslims like they do in Europe and France. We don't have that
big problem where they are ghetto wise and they don't like their
country and police can't go into the neighborhoods. You know the
problem in Europe. We don't have that. Are you worried that
sometimes when you say these things like peaceful Muslims will be
the victim of backlash, the victim of people just lumping everybody
into the terror jar?
TRUMP: Well, first of all, I never said that they were Muslims. You
did. You told me Muslims. I didn't say that. I am saying, you go
into profile, people that maybe look suspicious. I didn't say they
were Muslims.
O'REILLY: But how do they look suspicious? I mean, how?
TRUMP: I don't know. These are experts. That's what they do. They
profile. You go to Israel and they should study it because Israel
has done a phenomenal job about this. And they profile. And they are
not happy about it but they do it. And people aren't complaining
about it but we have to profile.
O'REILLY: But it's almost 100 percent of the terrorism now is Muslim
fanatics, almost 100 percent. You are not going to be profiling
leather jackets who, you know, with blue eyes at this point.
TRUMP: Honestly whatever it is. But I'm not using the term Muslim, I
am saying, you're going to have to profile.
O'REILLY: All right.
TRUMP: We will going to have to start profiling. And it's, you know,
I don't know if it's that bad. But certainly it's not a wonderful
thing. But, we have a country to keep safe. And we're not going to
keep our country safe. You see this happening. And you know and I
know it's going to get worse.
O'REILLY: All right. We're going to hold Mr. Trump over against his
will.
TRUMP: Unless I'm president.
O'REILLY: We'll going to hold him over against his will to talk
about the debate. One week from tonight. Big night. Right back.

Hillary is not on the campaign trail today because of debate
preparation, which is mainly shopping for cough drops.
