## Transcript

I think Donald Trump's comments are some outrageous, fascist, demagoguery. And I think it plays right into the hands of ISIL. Because the President said last night, we cannot allow our values to become the first casualty of this new, Threat of terror. We have to realize what we have in one another, and the truth of the matter is our Muslim American neighbors are our front lines of defense here. And so, what Donald Trump has said I find to be absolutely outrageous. It is un- American. There was a letter written by about [ UNKNOWN ] About 1, 000. Was it 1, 000? Rabbis the other day, that said in 1939, we didn't do a very good job as a nation at distinguishing between who are enemies are and who the victims of our enemies are.

And let's hope we're not repeating that mistake again in 2015. So, in conclusion, I think Donald Trump's statements are the sort of demagoguery that sometimes precedes fascism. And I think it's outrageous and I think all of us have an obligation to speak out against this. Unfortunately I think Donald Trump's over reaction is as dangerous as President Obama's under reaction. President Obama isn't prepared to do anything, which is clearly foolish but Donald Trump Trump always plays on everyone's worst instincts and fears, and saying we're not gonna let a single Muslim into this country is a dangerous overreaction.

I'd rather lose without Donald Trump than try to win with him. I wish he would leave the party. I don't care if he runs as an Independent. If we lose the 2016 election, so be it. This is not about an election. This is about the future of the country and our party. You know how you win this war? You side with people in the faith who reject this ideology, which is 99 %. And you know how you make America great again? Tell Donald Trump to go to hell. Well, that is not my policy I've introduced legislation in the Senate that would put in place a three year moratorium on refugees coming from countries where ISIS or al- Qaeda control a substantial amount of territory.

And the reason is that's where the threat is coming from. And the Obama administration, the FBI, has told us they don't have the resources to properly vet those refugees. Refugees to determine whether or not they are Isis terrorists. I think that's the approach we should take and we need a Commander In Chief who is focused on, on keeping this nation safe and the way to do so is focusing in particular on radical islamic terrorism which is exactly what I intend to do.
