The San Bernardino terror attack has already had a big impact on campaign 2016. Democrats are pushing for stronger gun regulations. Republicans are blaming president the saying they would be tougher on terrorism. No one more so than donald trump. Who we met up with in raleigh on friday. There are links between isis and terror attacks in San Bernardino but no red flags. So, how do you stop this from happening again . I think there are red he flags. Lot of people knew what was going on in that house or apartment and people were not wanting to call because they thought it would be inappropriate to call. Dickerson why . Saying that it was that they would have been profiling. And a person said, we should have knew what was going on but dont want to profile. Dickerson should there be profiling . I think there can be profiling. Dickerson how would that work . Something wrong with that group they saw what was happening, they didnt want to call the police because they didnt want to be profiling i think thats pretty bad. People are dead. Lot of people are dead right now. Everybody wants to be politically correct and thats part of the problem that we have with our country. Dickerson have people been too politically correct with muslims in america . I think so. With maybe other things, too. But i think certainly so. As you know i came out with vigilance, whether its mosques or whatever it has to be, but lot of bad things are happening. Dickerson whatever it has to be does that include, i know you where are you on the question of tracking citizens of america . Look. We are having a problem with radicals in muslim group lets not kid ourselves. You can say it or dont have to say it. Maybe you wont even want to, ive been saying it loud and strong. So, if you have people coming out of mosques with hatred and with death in their eyes and on their minds, were going to have to do something john, we cant just say were not going to look at it. I made that statement a number of weeks ago. It took a lot of whatever, lot of people were not exactly thrilled with it. Now everybody seems to agree with me. Dickerson this idea of tracking muslims in america where are you on that . You have people that have to be tracked. If theyre muslim, theyre muslims. People have to be tracked. I use the word vigilance we have show vigilance if we dont were foolish people. Were being led by people that dont know what is happening when you have president obama talking about Global Warming as our biggest problem we have a president that is just not with it at all. Dickerson there are three million muslims in america. What should they feel about their police in American Life now . Look, we are having a tremendous problem with radical islamic terrorism. You can say it or you dont have to say it. We have a president that wont issue the term. He wont talk about it. Were having this tremendous radical islamic terrorism. Lot of people dont want to even say it. Not a lot of people. One person that i know of called president obama. Until he admits this is a problem were never going to solve the problem. Hes only going to be there fortunately a little more than a year because the problem will get involved when he gets the hell out. Dickerson you mentioned Political Correctness about muslims. What the criticism of you is that you are playing on fears that people have. Im common sense. Im not playing on fears. I dont want to play on fears. I understand the whole world. I understand. I have muslim friends who are great people. By the way they tell me theres a big problem. Im not playing on fears im playing on common sense. We have a problem. The World Trade Center came down. By the way speaking of coming down, they put their families on airplanes couple of days before, send them back to saudi arabia for the most part. Those wives knew exactly what was going to happen. Those wives went home to watch their husbands knock down the World Trade Center, the pentagon wherever the third plane was going except we had some very, very brave passengers, wherever that third plane was going. Those wives knew exactly what was happening. Dickerson you mention families go after families, what does that mean . Well at least i would certainly go after the wives who absolutely knew what was happening and i guess your definition of what i do, im going to leave that to your imagination. But i will tell you i would be very tough on families because the families know what is happening. Even in this last instance, i see everybody knew, so many people knew they thought that this man and this woman whether it was radicalized or how he became. They thought something was going on. Why dont these people report it to the police . Why wouldnt they report it to the police . They said it was profiling. They didnt want to profile. Can you believe this . They thought something very bad was going to happen. Dickerson sister said she didnt know what was going on, she was crest fallen for the vic testimonies here. I probably dont believe the voice tim. Dickerson youd go after her . A lot of people. Find out whether or not they knew. Id be able to find out. I dont believe the sister. Dickerson do you worry about creating more terrorists . Stop terrorists. Only way to stop them in my opinion is that way. You know they say they dont mind dying i think they do mind dying. But i can tell you this, they want hire families left alone. They have to stop terrorism. Dickerson you dont think theres worry attention if you go too far that you end up creating morita are terrorists. Whats too far. Theyre killing people. What we just saw in california or in paris. Theyre killing innocent people. People without guns. You look at paris no guns. Nothing. You look at california, no guns. I can tell you one thing if im in there i had a gun were going to knock them out. One way or the other. Couple of guns are in that room, you talk about Second Amendment. Which im a big believer in the Second Amendment. In paris they had no guns. In california they had no guns. Only the bad guys had the guns. They were like sitting ducks everyone of them. Dickerson should the good guys get guns . People carry . If they want to they should be able. To because its going to be lot safer. Look whats going on. Going into these gun free areas how about the school few months ago. Gun free school, gun free area you look what happened. It was a disgrace. If people had guns, how about the soldiers that were killed. Six soldiers killed, champion marksmen, on military base, not allowed to carry their guns. A whack job walks in kills them. Not right. So, i am a believer in the Second Amendment and bottom line is the bad guys are always going to have the guns. You better do something about it. Paris is one of the toughest cities in the world for guns, right . Cant get em. You had carnage. Dickerson why do you think people join isis in the United States . I think for one reason theyre using the internet a lot better than we do. They are brainwashing these kids. Word is brainwashing. They are brainwashing young impressionable people. Largely young. Doing it with older people also. Dickerson how do you fight that . You fight it with intelligence. Beating them at their own game. You fight it by not saying mastermind like you did like other people did. I see the word mastermind, the mastermind. I call them the guy with the dirty hat. The guy with the dirty filthy hat. These kids are watching the mastermind. I want to be a mastermind. The press is really hurting it. I will say that i was very strong about it last week and two weeks ago. With the paris knock out. And i think the press is making it glamourizing these people. These people are animals. These people are not masterminds. Theyre not even smart people i bet very low iq. Theyre not smart people. And the press is making them in making them into robin hood and young people and other people are following. We have to stop their internet work theyre doing we came up with the internet but theyre using it better than we do. Dickerson in the moment on no fly list you can buy a firearm does that need to be fixed . I would take a very look at it. If you cant fly if you have some id look at that very hard. Dickerson also look into the shooters in this case amass great amount of ammunition, they had multiple weapons, should that in this new world brick people under suspicion if they are developing that kind of people can look at it. When people next door and other people say theres something strange, thats not people going hunting for deer. Because they had bombs all sorts of pipe bombs a lot of things certainly you can take look whats going on. Again, the word vigilance. We have to be looking at a lot of different things. We cant do anything to hurt the Second Amendment. People need their weapons to protect themselves. You see that now more than ever before. Dickerson well have more of our interview with donald trump in the second half hour. Also on face the nation website. We turn to new Jersey Governor Chris Christie who joins us from outside an ethanol plant in iowa. Everyone is looking for a way to stop these kinds of attacks again, in this case you had a woman who dropped off her six month old child before going on this rampage how would you create system that could catch that kind of dedicated killer . Well, john, its very hard. This is what i say in the aftermath, by the way the first night of the coverage i watched it for about hour and half i turned to my wife said this is a terrorist attack. I knew that, because the experience ive had as u. S. Attorney for seven years investigating terrorists bringing those cases. I dont know why the president hesitates for so long to call it exactly what it is. But what ill tell you if a developmentally disabled center in San Bernardino, california, is a target, then every place in america is a target. Thats why it was so wrong for congress and the president to pull back on our surveillance capability with the nsa so wrong to demoralize our Intelligence Community through the report they issued at the end of this last year. The fact is, that we need to strengthen our intelligence, strengthening our Law Enforcement community and just work as hard as we can to intercept this knowing that the society were not going to ab able to stop every attack. Dickerson the surveillance capability, were grandfathered in until the end of november they were in place here, not any evidence that they missed something through. That. Well, i dont know in San Bernardino but certainly visavis paris. Are pulling back, investing our resources on intelligence that the president has done created a big problem. Were going to see that paris was intelligence failure. Asking what best way to do it. Ive been doing this for seven years before i was governor. Only way to truly protect the homeland, john increase intelligence and increase Law Enforcement activity. That doesnt mean theyre guarantees. But if you give these people the tools, they will act constitutional ly and prevent many more attacks that will get through. Dickerson drum suggests even stop worrying about profiling muslims in investigation and instead stop being so politically correct, your reaction . Well, all i say that this is the difference between having the experience and understanding how you do this not having any experience. The fact is we dont need to be profiling. In order to be able to get the job done here, increase surveillance creating relationships with mosques and Muslim AmericanCommunity Across the country we did that after 9 11 and prevented attacks in new jersey and all across the country, which you need a president who has had the experience and know how to do this. Not someone just going to talk off the top of their head. Dickerson the attacks on 9 11 george w. Bush and other republicans were quick to draw a real distinction between attackers and the Muslim Community and islamic faith. That doesnt happen so much any more. On the campaign trail why is that . Well, i dont know. But i certainly have said it over and over again this is the problem with the president and with secretary clinton who provided leadership by euphemism. They wont say radical islamic jihaddist. When you say radical islamic jihaddist they understand, the rest of the Muslim Community understands folks who are peaceful, who attend mosques in peaceful way work in our country, raise their families, pay their taxes. They know theyre natural of not radical islamic jihaddists thats why we need to use the words, it differentiates them from the law abiding muslims who dont want to see this conduct going on. Dickerson in saturdays New York Times on the front page they have editorial, in which the editorial writers say, it is a moral outrage that people can legally purchase weapons quote that kill with brutal speed and efficiency. What is your reaction to that . Its typical from the New York Times. Fact is that what we need to be focused on here are two issues. Thinking criminals who commit crimes with handguns and putting them in jail. And we have to work around Mental Health system in this country for doctors and caregivers to involuntarily commit folks who have Mental Health issues dont want to take their medication and help themselves. And this kind of sensationalism, remember the president and secretary before they even knew what was going on here ran out on the first moment after this attack said this was gun control issue. I dont know what gun control laws are going to stop terrorists from attacking us. This is the typical liberal approach the things. President said it, no crisis can no crisis worth wasting. They want to try to turn this awful tragedy into excuse that greater condition goal what we need to greater intelligence which the president has taken away from this country. With the complicity of senators cruz and paul. And we need to make sure we back our Law Enforcement to take these criminals off the street. Dickerson on the question of the speed and efficiency of certain guns, you were once an opponent of to these kind of weapons called assault rifles. You have changed your view on that. Why . Well, first of all that was years ago john. Yeah, ive grown up a bit and changed my view been educated on it and my views change once i became prosecutor. When i became a prosecutor saw watt the real problem that we need to give the tools to Law Enforcement to go on the streets take criminals off the streets. That is the real important thing that we need to do. Need to empower our Law Enforcement. This administration hasnt done it the fbi director said, that theres a chill webbed blowing great deal because they dont have the Political Support of this administration. When im president they will have that support. Dickerson governor Chris Christie thanks for being with us. John, thanks for having me today. Have a great weekend. Dickerson well be back in one minute with democratic president ial candidate Bernie Sanders. This is the one place were not afraid to fail. Some of these experiments may not work. But a few might shape the future. Like turning algae into biofuel. New technology for capturing co2 emissions. And cars twice as efficient as the average car today. Ideas exxonmobil scientists are working on to make energy go further. No matter how many tries it takes. Energy lives here. Dickerson were back with bald in vermont. The president is going to address the nation tonight, if you were president what would you say . I would say that we have got to be aggressive as we can in destroying isis. We have to learn the lessons of the past. That means we cannot do it alone. It must be International Coalition in which the muslim nations are the troops on the ground, King Abdullah of jordan who has been playing heroic role dealing with refugees and isis made the point that it is the muslim nation, is that are fighting for the soul of islam who have got to lead the effort in questioning isis.
