And yet, the polling comes out this week, so the majority of republican voters trust donald trump and ben carson with the nuclear codes. and i wonder what was your reaction to that. >> well, herman cain was leading at one point in time. >> but not for this long. >> look at who was leading on this date in 2008 and 12. heres my point. i think the more we get focused on national security, the more my voice will resonate. ive been to iraq and afghanistan 35 times, 33 years in the air force. ive real...

People agree with you, youre actually saying it. and yet, the polling comes out this week, so the majority of republican voters trust donald trump and ben carson with the nuclear codes. and i wonder what was your reaction to that. >> well, herman cain was leading at one point in time. >> but not for this long. >> look at who was leading on this date in 2008 and 12. heres my point. i think the more we get focused on national security, the more my voice will resonate. ive been to iraq and afghanis...

Americans to destroy isil without a ground component. it wont work. you need someone on the ground and the syrians by themselves cant do this. >> senator lindsey graham, thank you as always for your time. best of luck with the nest round of debate. we hope to see you on the main stage sometime soon. >> me, too. thank you. >> up next, chris christies personal side has gone viral. and movie director quentin tarantino says hes not intimidated by police boycotting his movies.

Im sure security will be upgraded. the best way to be secure is to go in on the ground and destroy the threat. youre not going to win this war from the air. yo u need a ground component. there is not enough left in my view, syrian, arabs and kurds to do the job. you need a regional force. what president obama has will not work and the longer they are in power, the more threat and its just a matter of time before they come here. ive been saying that for two years now. we got to get these guys in ...

>> i dont see how the man sleeps at night allow can this to happen on his watch. the biggest winner of obamas presidency will be russia, iran, and isil. if you do not come up with a ground component well never destroy isil so the way to train the free syrian army is to train isil and assad. he doesnt want to upset the iranians. assad is a puppet of the iranians. why does it matter to us? isil will continue to thrive. they are coming here, they are already here. my biggest fear is president obama...

Why do you think it is people arent lining up behind what you are talking about? >> they are in small groups. when i talked to people in new hampshire, i tell them two things. im committed to destroying isil it will take a ground component. well need to send more troops to iraq and a regional army made up of arabs and turks. and most people in new hampshire says that makes sense because they know isil is a threat to us. its a building process. it will take me time to break through. im the best q...

As commander-in-chief ill rebuild the military, well win this war. well get a regional army together. there is nobody left in syria to train. president obama screwed this up. the next president needs to be clear as to what they will do. i intend to destroy isil. there will be a ground component coming from the region. we are going on the ground and destroy isil and the caliphate and raqqa * and push assad out. and if you cant say that you are not ready for this job. bill: you heard about the con...

Eventually to syria, missing families, missing holidays, risking getting, you know, injured or killed is no light thing that i am suggesting here. i just cant think of another way to destroy isil. you cant do it from the air. and theres no ground component left in syria. >> are you surprised that with 15 republicans -- or 16 if you count former governor jim gilmore who didnt make the cut to our debate last night, with all these republicans only you are proposing sending so many troops to iraq an...

If youre not willing to put american boots on the ground, where does the ground component come from? if i hear one more time about the kurds being able to go from kurdistan into syria to destroy isil, that is not a viable option. heres what i say to my colleagues, come up with a plan of your own. ive given you very detailed plans. we need a ground component. part of it has to be an american ground component or were going to get hit here at home. thats my view of what we have to do going forward ...

And if i hear one more time that were going to send the kurds to go clean up the whole world, thats just ridiculous. the kurdish military is not an expediti if you send them in to syria to destroy isil, youd start a war with turkey. im a little disappointed. i dont make these numbers up. ive been to iraq and afghanistan 35 times. general keane said we need 5,000 in iraq versus 3500. hes come to the conclusion theres nobody left to train in syria to destroy isil and push assad out. weve seen that...
