thanks to mad dog mattis that we have great military leaders. isis is being dealt one brutal defeat after another. not only are we defeating these savage killers, horrible, horrible, you don t even want to say people. savage killers. over there but we sure as hell don t want them to come over here. i m sorry. i m sorry. [cheers and applause] you know, they come back to some countries and come in. we are making it a very difficult process. we had such weakness. they go out, kill people. and come back and go back home to mom and dad.
internet and find out exactly where isis is and everything about isis and we can do that if we use our good people. i would certainly be open to closing areas where we are at war with somebody. i sure as hell don t want to let people that want to kill us and kill our nation use our internet. bob, is that possible, what he proposes, to shut down access for isis? no, it s not possible, the internet is a wild chaotic place and they can appear in chat rooms, encrypted apps, all sorts of ways. then you have the question of news organizations like al jazeera which covers the war in syria. that has an enormous effect on the middle east when you see all the slaughter and bombing. people are taking sides on al jazeera. that in itself recruits people. trump is oversimplifying this. we as americans look to the internet way too much for our
handling it, but our jill dougherty is in moscow with vladimir putin s motivations for talking trump. poppy, you know, it does seem kind of strange but don t forget that vladimir putin is a former kgb officer and he reads people extremely well. i think number one he was playing to the ego of donald trump. putin has this kind of tough guy image and that s part of the image of trump as well. he also gets to take a swipe at president obama who is depicted here in the russian media as extremely weak. then it gives president putin the opportunity to look like a regular reasonable guy who can deal with any candidate that america comes up with. and then also, he gets to insert himself into the u.s. election while denying that he s doing that. you know, during that news conference, he said they always, the americans, always tell us
states. that resonated with the crowd. of course it resonates with the crowd. so does cotton candy. so does kumbaya, so does holding hands. come on. it s a lack of sophisticated geopolitical knowledge. the question isn t can the u.s. and russia partner on projects. they do that all the time. but at the very same moment, you have a proxy war being fought in syria. a strategic battle between united states and russia for oil resources throughout the middle east and europe. we can t just get along because our interests aren t aligned. at odds at many points. when trump says that, it sounds good to the people in the cheap seats. who don t know the difference between a disney city and a real city. but for real analysis, you can t go with a trump plan. i got to get a break in. hold that thought. stay with me. up next, just hours from the democratic debate.
you talked freedom of anything you want. i don t want them using our internet to take our young impressionable youth and watching the media talking about how they re masterminds. these are masterminds. they shouldn t be using the word mastermind. these are thugs and terrible people in isis. not masterminds. we have to change it from every standpoint. we should be using our brilliant people. our most brilliant mind to figure a way that isis cannot use the internet. and then on second, we should be able to penetrate the internet and find out exactly where isis is and everything about isis. we can do that if we use our good people. let me follow up, mr. trump. so, are you open to closing parts of the internet? i would certainly be open to closing areas where we are at war with somebody. i sure as hell don t want to let people that want to kill us and kill our nation use our internet. yes, sir. i am.
