Were not talking about religion, were talking about security. Our country is out of control. Trump wasnt the only candidate laying out Strong Security measures. ted cruz r president ial candidate what my legislation would do is suspend all refugees for 3 years from countries where isis and al qaeda control substantial territory ben carson r president ial candidate i dont care whether its a mosque, a school. If there are a lot of people engaging there in radicalizing activities, then we need to be suspicious of it jeb bush clearly went after the National Front runner and took him to task for his ideas. jeb bush r president ial candidate this is not a serious proposal. In fact, it will push the muslim world, the arab world away from us at a time when we need to reengage with them to be able to create a strategy to destroy isis. Trump am i talking or are you talking, jeb . Bush im talking right now. Im talking. Trump you can go back. You can go back. Youre not talking. You interrupted me. Bush sept. 30th. Trump are you going to apologize, jeb . No. Thanks, dianne. brian loftus many of the president ial candidates. Made promises to make our country safer. During the debate Kirsten Joyce but we wanted to know. How their words matchedup with the facts. 8 news now reporter Michael Stevens pulled up some of last nights comments and is Fact Checking the candidates. Good morning michael . Brian, sharie. As we anticipated. Much of last nights debate centered around National Security. And the candidates replys may have come out a little too simple on stage. For instance. Last night. Country is out of control. People are pouring through the southern border. But heres the facts. Press. About 330,000 people were caught crossing the Mexican Border illegally in 2015, a near 40 year low in border arrests. Another big topic for the candidates. Security overseas. sen. Ted cruz r president ial candidate we keep hearing from president obama and Hillary Clinton and Washington Republicans that theyre searching for these mythical, moderate rebels. Its like a purple unicorn. They never exist. These moderate rebels end up being jihadists. Michael Stevens here are the facts. According to the ap cruz did not acknowledge moderate rebel groups in syria have been fighting against the Islamic State group, the al qaidaaligned nusra front and forces loyal to syrian president that countrys civil war. While there has been concern over u. S. Trained rebels giving weapons to the nusra front in exchange for safe passage, they are considered key in the fight against both radical groups and assad a leader who a number of gop candidates said in the debate should be removed because of his close alliance with iraq. Some of the other things we heard from the candidates. Jeb bush said troops should embed themselves in the iraqi military. But it turns out Us Special Forces are already working with the iraqis to fight isis. And rand paul. Said every terrorist attack weve had since 9 11 has been legal immigration. But thats not true. One of the shooters in San Bernardino was born in illinois. And the 2009 fort hood shooter nidal hasan who killed 13 people. Was not only an american but an army major. Brian loftus michael. Before you go. I know you were along media row previewing the debate for us. Whats it like out there now . Michael Stevens brian, its a similar setup.

Sharie Johnson that included South Carolina senator Lindsey Graham, former pennsylvania senator Rick Santorum, former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee and former new york governor George Pataki. They did not have the poll numbers to make the cut for the main debate. National security remained a hot topic Lindsey Graham r president ial candidate if a terrorist is calling into america and we can match up phone numbers, we get a court order to find out what the content is. We are at war, folks. Theyre not trying to steal your car. Theyre trying to kill us all. George Pataki r president ial candidate we have to send troops with allies and supporters wherever it is necessary to destroy the training centers, recruitment centers, planning hubs of isis. Mike Huckabee r president ial candidate we have to make sure that were not just going over and setting off some fireworks, we have to kill some terrorists and kill every one of them Rick Santorum r president ial candidate world war 3 has begun and we have a leader who refuses to identify it, and be truthful to the american people.
