I said at the time, this was a providential event, that if God had not turned his head at exactly the right time, he'd be dead. So I think Trump, like Reagan and Pope John Paul II, really does think he's on a mission. And his mission is to make America great again. And you watch him every single day. He's working his heart out to do that.
Well, it's like everything we're seeing on campuses. We are going to have to make a decision, which the Europeans have not been able to make, that We are not going to accept people who come here to engage in terrorism or come here to impose radically changes on us that we don't want. And I think we're going to have to go through a process.
And this is why they're changing the whole student visa application process. Because if you end up being the kind of person who has been on the Internet explaining how much you hate Israel and how much you hate America, you shouldn't be able to come to the U.S. We have an obligation to protect our citizens from these kind of people.
And we have an obligation to protect our citizens from the kind of nutcake professors at some of these big universities who are preaching hatred of America or preaching the destruction of Israel, an act of genocide. And I think we've had a series of wake-up calls, certainly the bombings of the American embassies in the late 90s, the attack at 9-11. Again and again, we've had these wake-up calls.
And what happened In Boulder, Colorado is just one more wake up call. And I am for, in this case, locking that guy up for the rest of his life because he tried to kill a whole group of people in a very horrible way using a flamethrower. But I'm also for saying if those are really your views, you have no place in the United States.
And I think for American citizens, we're going to have to adopt very tough rules because you can't tolerate this kind of hatred and this willingness to kill your fellow citizens.
Well, I certainly think we have to look at where people come from and what they believe. And it goes deeper. I mean, for one thing, those who would impose Sharia law, which is a religiously based legal system, I think have no place in the United States. This is a straight up fight. What kind of country are we going to be? And I do not want...
Americans to a place where all too many European countries have allowed so many people in who are alien. They have no interest. You know, if somebody wants to come to America and become an American and believe in the Constitution and believe in the rule of law and have respect for their fellow Americans, I'm for that.
Chris and I made a terrific film called Journey to America about people who come here legally from all sorts of backgrounds, including, for example, Henry Kissinger. But I am against our blindly allowing people to show up here who explicitly want to replace the United States, want to impose on us radical values that fundamentally violate our belief system.
And I think that we have to recognize you cannot have political correctness if it means the death of Americans.
The biggest challenge is to convince the American people that this is the best path forward and that they have to turn out and vote in 26 and then turn out again and vote in 28. In the end, and it's a great thing about Americans, As Abraham Lincoln said, with popular sentiment, nothing can fail. Without popular sentiment, nothing can succeed.
We have to both do the right thing and convince the American people that it's the right thing. If we do that, we will have replaced Franklin Roosevelt and Trump will be one of the greatest presidents in American history.
Great to be with you.
Well, first of all, it's very unfair. President Trump picks brilliant people. They know what they're doing. They do their homework. They actually have achieved real things. And they're up against a group of people who are lazy, out of touch with reality, don't do their homework, and set themselves up to look like fools. I think it's a very unfair fight.
And I think that at some point, those Democrats who are left who are serious are going to say to their colleagues, you know, if you can't do your homework, don't do the hearing. Don't put this.
Well, I mean, I think there are two different parts to that. One is, you said it just right, the strange and bizarre fact that of all the people who might have ended up in there, one of the most anti-Trump journalists from an anti-Trump magazine happened to be the guy there. I think that's so weird, you wouldn't have put it into a novel. The other fact is...
They probably shouldn't have those kind of discussions on Signal. When I was speaker, we routinely used the most powerful security systems. We had somebody who would come to me wherever I was carrying a secure phone so I could talk to the president on a line that the Chinese and the Russians couldn't possibly hack.
So at one level, I would say there's an underlying lesson here that's important, and that is that they need to tighten up their own security provisions just in general, not because of the Atlantic Monthly, but because of the Chinese and the Russians and the North Koreans, all of whom are very good at hacking into things. The other is my advice to them is get on, just get it over with.
This is not an issue that helps Donald Trump at all to sit around and wallow in it. A mistake was made. We don't fully know why the mistake was made. The best thing they can say is we're looking into it. And when we understand it, we'll report to you. But until then, we have nothing more to say. And just move on.
What the left loves, they found something where they can pick at the Trump team and pick at the Trump team. And people will have different answers because they have different memories. They come from different places. And then each contradiction will become its own story. And the left would like to do nothing more
