    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.
