fighting isis years
The other thing I said is the great irony is you will be back fighting against your own weapons. Had [Bashar] Assad been bombed when he used chemical weapons two years ago, ISIS would be in charge of all of Syria now.
democracy middle-east realistic
We have to have a more realistic foreign policy and not a utopian one where we say, oh, we're going to spread freedom and democracy, and everybody in the Middle East is going to love us. They are not going to love us.
gay government church
When the government tries to invade the church to enforce its own opinion on [gay] marriage, that's when it's time to resist.
war thinking bridges
I think when we think about the judgment of someone who might want World War III, we might think about someone who might shut down a bridge because they don't like their friends;
east needs students
There's 150,000 students here from the Middle East. If 40% of them have overstayed their visa, don't we need to know where they are, what they're doing, are they obeying our rules?
war believe thinking
I think that if you believe in regime change, you're mistaken. In 2013, we put 600 tons of weapons - us, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar - into the war against [Bashar] Assad. By pushing Assad back, we did create a safe space.
people world figures
Let's make the haystack smaller. Let's say for a while, until we can figure out who's coming, who's going, and who's overstayed their visa, let's have extra scrutiny and figure out what's going on, because there's a whole segment of the world that is intent on sending people here to attack us.
gun california president
Every gun regulation that President [Barack] Obama has advocated for, California has already. And it didn't stop terrorism.
giving people spy
Any time we give people the ability to use force, we have to be very careful. It's sort of like the people who spy on us - you've got to watch the watchers.
real gun people
I would pay to have those adjudications enrolled into the federal background system so we could detect people who are mentally ill before they buy a gun. That is a real problem.
mean korea america
The question is, how do we keep America safe from terrorism? [Donald]Trump says we ought to close that Internet thing. The question really is, what does he mean by that? Like they do in North Korea? Like they do in China?
thinking records constitution
[Marco] Rubio says we should collect all Americans' records all of the time. The Constitution says otherwise. I think they're both wrong. I think we defeat terrorism by showing them that we do not fear them.
thinking america race
I think there's a racial outcome to a lot of what goes in America, but I don't think race is always the reason.
america chiefs whatever-it-takes
As commander-in-chief, I will do whatever it takes to defend America. But in defending America, we cannot lose what America stands for.
