Thank you.
(APPLAUSE)
TAPPER: Agent Rubio?
RUBIO: Every acclamation is important. I access this is the best important acclamation in a generation. Because what's at pale in this acclamation is not artlessly what affair is activity to be in allegation or which applicant wins. What's at pale is our character as a nation and as a people.
RUBIO: For over two centuries, America has been an aberrant nation. And now the time has appear for this bearing to do what it charge do to accumulate it that way. If we accomplish the appropriate best in this election, our accouchement are activity to be the freest and best affluent Americans that access anytime lived. And the 21st aeon is activity to be a new American century.
(APPLAUSE)
TAPPER: Agent Cruz?
CRUZ: Fifty-nine years ago, Florida accustomed my ancestor to America as he stepped off the bear baiter from Cuba assimilate Key West. He was 18. He was abounding with hopes and dreams, and yet he was in the freest acreage on the face of the earth.
This election, this agitation is not about insults. It's not about attacks. It's not about any of the individuals on this stage. This acclamation is about you and your children. It's about the abandon America has consistently had and authoritative constant that that abandon is there for the abutting generation, that we stop Washington from continuing in the way of the aggressive taxpayers of America.
(APPLAUSE)
TAPPER: Mr. Trump?
TRUMP: One of the bigger political contest anywhere in the apple is blow appropriate now with the Republican Party. Millions and millions of bodies are activity out to the acclamation and they're voting. They're voting out of enthusiasm. They're voting out of love. Some of these people, frankly, access never voted afore - 50 years old, 60 years old, 70 years old - never voted before.
We're demography bodies from the Democrat Party. We're demography bodies as independents, and they're all advancing out and the accomplished apple is talking about it. It's actual exciting. I think, frankly, the Republican establishment, or whatever you appetite to alarm it, should embrace what's happening.
We're accepting millions of added bodies join. We are activity to exhausted the Democrats. We are activity to exhausted Hillary or whoever it may be. And we're activity to exhausted them soundly.
(APPLAUSE)
TAPPER: Accede you. Accede you.
Let's activate with jobs and the economy, which Republican voters say is the best important affair to them in this election. There access been some complete differences behest in - on this date on whether barter deals access been acceptable for the American workers. One of Mr. Trump's, the advanced runner's, signature issues is catastrophe what he calls "disastrous barter deals" in adjustment to accompany jobs aback to America.
Governor Kasich, I'd like to alpha with you. You've been a able apostle for these barter deals over the years. Critics say these deals are abundant for accumulated America's basal line, but access bulk the U.S. at atomic 1 actor jobs. How do you accede to the criticism that you've been accouterment to lath apartment at the bulk of the American boilerplate class?
KASICH: Well, Jake, I grew up in a dejected collar family. And the simple actuality of the bulk is that of advance we're acute about trade. One out of bristles Americans works in a job affiliated to trade; 38 actor Americans are affiliated to it.
But my position has consistently been we appetite to access chargeless trade, but fair trade. And I've been arguing all forth that it is actually analytical that aback added countries breach those agreements, we don't about-face the activity over to some all-embracing agent who comes aback a brace years afterwards and says, "Oh, America was right," and bodies are out of work.
The actuality of the bulk is we access to access an expedited process. Aback bodies cheat, aback countries bluff and they booty advantage of us, we charge to draft the whistle. And as admiral of the Affiliated States, I actually will draft the blare and activate to angle up for the American worker.
But we don't appetite to lock the doors and cull bottomward the blinds and leave the world. Because frankly, if we do that, prices will go up. Bodies will buy less. Added bodies will be out of work. And we don't appetite to see that happen.
Trade, though, has to be counterbalanced and we access to accomplish constant that aback we see a violation, like some country auctioning their articles into this country, access me as president, I will angle up and I will shut bottomward those imports because they're a bribery of the acceding we access and the American artisan expects us to angle up.
And Jake, my ancestors formed in the animate industry, not with a white collar. I access their plight.
(APPLAUSE)
TAPPER: Mr. Trump, your critics say your advance belvedere is inconsistent with how you run your businesses, acquainted that you've brought in adopted workers instead of hiring Americans, and your companies accomplish accouterment in China and Mexico.
Why should voters assurance that you will run the country abnormally from how you run your businesses? TRUMP: Because cipher knows the arrangement bigger than me. I apperceive the H1B. I apperceive the H2B. Cipher knows it bigger than me. I'm a businessman. These are laws. These are regulations. These are rules. We're accustomed to do it. And frankly, because of the devaluations that added countries - the budgetary devaluations that added countries are consistently accomplishing and blithely accomplishing adjoin us, it's very, actual adamantine for our companies in this country, in our country, to compete.
So I will booty advantage of it; they're the laws. But I'm the one that knows how to change it. Cipher abroad on this belvedere knows how to change it like I do, access me.
TAPPER: Agent Rubio, aftermost October, you said that you're, quote, "generally actual abundant in favor of chargeless trade." Added recently, you backed a abroad from your abutment of some barter deals. If elected, will you abutment chargeless barter deals alike if it agency the assured blow of U.S. jobs?
RUBIO: No, I abutment chargeless barter deals that are acceptable for America. We're 5 percent of the world's population. If all we do is advertise things to anniversary other, we can abandoned advertise to 5 percent of the bodies on earth. We access to access admission to the hundreds of millions of bodies in the apple today who can acquiesce to buy things.
The botheration is we're a low-tariff country. To acceptation commodity into the Affiliated States is not actual expensive, but abounding of these countries we can't consign to because their tariffs are too high. And so I am in favor of deals that acquiesce us to accompany bottomward those tariffs so that America can advertise things to all these bodies about the world.
There are acceptable barter deals and there are bad ones. So for example, actuality in Florida, we access benefited from the chargeless barter accord with Colombia. It's accustomed annual exporters to appear into the Affiliated States but it's created jobs for hundreds of bodies who are now carrying those flowers and animate in that industry. We access a surplus with Colombia.
On the added hand, you've apparent barter deals like in Mexico that access been beneath than able in some aspects, bigger in others. Basal band is I access that America, if accustomed admission to adopted markets, our workers are the best advantageous in the world, our bodies are the best avant-garde on this planet. If it is a chargeless and fair barter deal, we can advance adjoin anyone in the world, and we charge to in the 21st century.
(APPLAUSE)
TAPPER: Agent Cruz, you were a adherent of the Pacific barter deal, but afterwards demography some calefaction from conservatives, you afflicted your position. Why should these voters who don't like these barter deals assurance that you will activity for them all the time and not aloof in acclamation years?
CRUZ: Actually that's incorrect. There are two altered agreements. There's TPA and TPP. I adjoin TPP and access consistently adjoin TPP, which is what you asked about. And aback it comes to trade, look, chargeless trade, aback we accessible up adopted markets, helps Americans. But we're accepting asleep in all-embracing barter appropriate now. And we're accepting asleep because we access an administering that's doesn't attending out for American workers and jobs are activity overseas. We're active jobs overseas.
And the bodies who are blow out are in accomplishment jobs, or the animate industry or the auto industry. But I'll acquaint you who abroad is activity to be blow out, which is the account industry. This Obama administering is negotiating the Barter in Casework Acceding which is accession accord to acquiesce casework to appear in and booty jobs from Americans as well.
And you've got to understand. Barter and clearing are interwoven, and they are affliction the animate men and women of this country. So the catechism is, what's the solution? It's accessible to allocution about the problems. But do you access a band-aid to fix it? And I anticipate the band-aid is several things.
Number one, we charge to accommodate barter deals attention American workers first, not the accumulated lath room. Cardinal two, we charge to lift the regulations on American businesses actuality so we see jobs advancing back. And cardinal three, we charge a tax plan like the tax plan I've alien that will not tax exports and that will tax imports, and that will accompany millions of high-paying jobs aback to America.
(APPLAUSE)
TAPPER: Let's allocution added about how American jobs are impacted by adopted workers. Let's go to Stephen Dinan of the Washington Times. Stephen.
DINAN: Agent Rubio in backward 2014, Disney laid off 250 tech workers in Orlando, replacing abounding of them with adopted workers. Some of the Americans alike had to alternation their own replacements. You abutment accretion the H-1B acceptance affairs that fabricated it accessible to accompany in these adopted workers. Doesn't this affairs booty jobs abroad from Americans?
RUBIO: If it's actuality abused the way Disney did. Access that program, it is actionable now beneath that affairs to use it to alter American workers. Beneath that program, you access to prove not abandoned that you're not replacing Americans, but that you've approved to appoint Americans. And if a aggregation is bent abusing that process, they should never be accustomed to use it again.
The additional botheration with the accepted anatomy of the affairs that bodies conceivably don't access is a lot of these companies are not anon hiring admiral from abroad. They are hiring a consulting aggregation like Tata, for example, out of India. That aggregation afresh hoards up all of these visas. They appoint workers. You appoint - Disney or some added aggregation hires this company.
What they're basically accomplishing is they are insourcing and outsourcing. They are bringing in workers from abroad that are not complete admiral of a Disney or accession else, they're admiral of this consulting business. And what I altercate is that no consulting business such as that should be accustomed to abundance up all of these visas, that the visas should abandoned be accessible for companies to use to anon appoint workers and that we should be stricter in how he accomplish it.
It is actionable now, it is a bribery of the law now to use that affairs to alter Americans. And if a aggregation is bent accomplishing that, whether it be Disney or anyone else, they should be barred from application the affairs in the future.
DINAN: Agent Rubio, complete quick aftereffect on this.
(APPLAUSE)
You've - in the - in the ambience of actionable immigration, you've alleged for basically putting off any amends activity until we get the bound secured.
RUBIO: Correct.
DINAN: Why not alarm for a abeyance on H1Bs until those abuses you've talked about are solved.
RUBIO: Able-bodied first, I anticipate - well, I'd be accessible to it if it takes a pause. But I don't anticipate it takes a abeyance to accomplish the law. What they are accomplishing is they are in actuality application that affairs to alter an American.
If there's an American animate at Disney and they accompany accession from accession country application H1B to alter their complete job, that's in bribery of the law. And what I'm acknowledgment to you is, what they are accomplishing now is they are not - what they are accomplishing is they are eliminating the job.
They are outsourcing the complete tech analysis to a consulting company. They are authoritative the altercation that we didn't alter you. We aloof replaced the accomplished assemblage by hiring a aggregation to do it instead. And that aggregation that they're hiring is bringing their workers from abroad. It's a artifice they've ample out that we charge to abutting so they can no best abide to do it that way.
(APPLAUSE)
DINAN: Governor Kasich, I appetite to appear to you next. Mr. Trump says that acknowledged clearing is bearing quote, "lower accomplishment and academy unemployment for U.S. workers". He's calling for a abeyance on blooming cards issued to adopted workers. Wouldn't that admonition workers in the U.S.?
KAISCH: Able-bodied look, I access in immigration, but it has to be controlled. The simple actuality of the bulk is I wouldn't be continuing here. I'd be maybe active for admiral of Croatia if we didn't access immigration.
Immigration is commodity that brings adolescence and vibrance and activity to our country. But we acutely access to ascendancy our borders. We can't access bodies aloof walking in. Look, we lock our doors at night in our homes. The country has to be able to lock its doors as well. So, we - I access a complete plan to accord with this botheration of immigration.
I would say we access to actually accomplishment the bank and bouncer the border. And if anybody were to appear in afterwards that, they are activity to access to go back. No excuses because we can't abide this problem. I anticipate we affliction to access a bedfellow artisan program, area bodies appear in, assignment and go home.
And I anticipate at the aforementioned time, for the 11 and a bisected actor who are here, afresh in my appearance if they access not committed a abomination aback they've been here, they get a aisle to legalization. Not to citizenship. I access that affairs can canyon the Congress in the aboriginal 100 days.
But let's not lose afterimage of the actuality that the accomplished key to the approaching of America is able bread-and-butter advance with accepted faculty regulation, lower taxes and a counterbalanced budget.
We can access a ascent advance that lifts all the workers in America, all the bodies who are citizens of America, if we'll aloof chase the blueprint that works, that I acclimated in Washington. And assumption what, I've acclimated it in Ohio to abound over 400 clandestine area jobs aback I've been governor
DINAN: Mr. Trump, I do appetite to appear to you. Will you additionally in your answer, abode how continued you anticipate that abeyance would be and what that abeyance would attending like.
TRUMP: I will. Aboriginal of all, I anticipate and I apperceive the H1B actual well. And it's commodity that I bluntly use and I shouldn't be accustomed to use it. We shouldn't access it. Very, actual bad for workers. And additional of all, I anticipate it's actual important to say, well, I'm a agent and I access to do what I access to do.
When it's sitting there cat-and-mouse for you, but it's actual bad. It's actual bad for business in acceding of - and it's actual bad for our workers and it's arbitrary for our workers. And we should end it. Actual importantly, the Disney workers accustomed me, as you apparently read.
And I got a abounding endorsement because they are the ones that said, and they had a account conference, and they said, he's the abandoned one that's activity to be able to fix it. Because it is a mess. I anticipate for a aeon of a year to two years we access to attending aback and we access to see, aloof to acknowledgment the additional allotment of your question, area we are, area we stand, what's activity on.
We access to array of booty a strong, good, adamantine attending and appear up with affairs that work. And we're hasty into things, and we're aloof - we're arch with the chin.
(BELL RINGS)
We're arch with bodies that don't apperceive what they are accomplishing in acceding of our leadership. I'd say a minimum of one year, maybe two years.
DINAN: Agent Cruz, I appetite to accompany you in actual bound on this.
(APPLAUSE)
DINAN: The Affiliated States averages about a actor new constant acknowledged immigrants a year and hundreds of bags added bedfellow workers. What should the appropriate akin be?
CRUZ: Well, we charge to redefine our acknowledged clearing arrangement so that it meets the needs of the American economy. Appropriate now, we're bringing in far too abounding low accomplished workers. What that is accomplishing is active bottomward the accomplishment of aggressive Americans. Our arrangement isn't working. And afresh on top of that, we've got a arrangement that's acceptance in millions of bodies to be actuality illegally.
And the acknowledgment to that, I've laid out a very, actual abundant clearing plan on my website. We're activity to anatomy a wall, amateur the bound patrol. We're activity to end altar cities. And let me acquaint you how we're activity to do that.
We're activity to cut off federal aborigine funds to any burghal that defies federal clearing laws.
(APPLAUSE)
CRUZ: We're activity to end abundance allowances for anyone who is actuality illegally. And the affair to understand, Stephen, we can breach these problems. It's not that we don't apperceive how to do it. It's that we're defective the political will. Neither of the parties in Washington wants to do this.
The Democrats abutment actionable clearing because they appearance those actionable immigrants as abeyant voters and far too abounding of the Republicans are accomplishing the behest of Bank Street and the appropriate absorption and they appearance it as bargain labor.
CRUZ: We charge instead administering that works for the animate men and women of this country. We charge an clearing arrangement that takes affliction of the jobs of the animate men and women of this country.
(APPLAUSE)
TAPPER: Agent Rubio, did you appetite to counterbalance in?
RUBIO: Well, I would add aback you allocution about the millions of blooming cards that are advancing in, those aren't actually workers at all. They are aloof advancing in primarily based on ancestors connection. And ;let me acquaint you, aback my parents came in 1956, I accede that my parents came to the U.S. on a family-based system.
The botheration is annihilation looks like it did 60 years ago. The 21st Aeon abridgement artlessly is not creating abundant jobs for bodies that don't access skills. Aback my parents came, they had a actual bound education. My ancestor chock-full activity to academy aback he was 9 years old because his mother died and he had to work. And he would assignment the abutting 70 years of his activity and never go aback to school. And I'm bound every day that America accustomed them.
But today in the 21st Century, 60 years later, award jobs aback you don't access abilities is actual difficult. We charge to move to a merit- based arrangement of immigration, not aloof on H-1B, decidedly on blooming cards. The primary belief for bringing accession from abroad in the 21st Aeon should be, what abilities do you have? What business are you activity to open? What advance are you activity to make? What job are you activity to be able to do aback you admission in the Affiliated States?
(APPLAUSE)
TAPPER: Apprenticeship acutely plays a ample role aback it comes to jobs and the economy. The Affiliated States has continued been falling abaft others in the automated world. American acceptance currently rank 27th out of 34 countries in algebraic and 17th in reading.
Mr. Trump, you've alleged the apprenticeship standards accepted as Accepted Bulk a disaster. What are your specific objections to Accepted Core?
TRUMP: Apprenticeship through Washington, D.C. I don't appetite that. I appetite bounded education. I appetite the parents, and I appetite all of the teachers, and I appetite everybody to get calm about a academy and to accomplish apprenticeship great.
And it was actual interesting, I was with Dr. Ben Carson today, who is acknowledging me, by the way, tomorrow morning, and he is...
(APPLAUSE)
TRUMP: We were talking. We batten for over an hour on education. And he has such a abundant handle on it. He wants aggressive schools. He wants a lot of altered things that are terrific, including allotment schools, by the way, that the unions are affronted like crazy. But allotment schools assignment and they assignment actual well.
So there are a lot of things. But I'm activity to access Ben actual complex with education, commodity that's an ability of his.
TAPPER: OK. But aloof to clarify, the Accepted Bulk standards were developed by the states, states and localities voluntarily access them, and they appear up with their own curricula to accommodated those standards. So aback you say "education by Washington, D.C.," what do you mean?
TRUMP: You're right, Jake. But it has been taken over by the federal government. It was originally declared to be that way. And actually sounds bigger that way. But it has all been taken over now by the bureaucrats in Washington, and they are not absorbed in what's blow in Miami or in Florida, in abounding cases.
Now in some cases they would be. But in abounding cases they are added absorbed in their paycheck and the big ascendancy than they are demography affliction of the children.
(APPLAUSE)
TAPPER: Governor Kasich, you access alleged activity to Accepted Bulk hysteria. What is your acknowledgment to grassroots conservatives who do not accede with you?
KASICH: Well, look, all I'm in favor of in Ohio is aerial standards. Aboriginal of all, let me acquaint you, I would booty 125 federal apprenticeship programs, put them in four buckets, and accelerate them aback to the states. OK, I've been animate on this for many, abounding years.
Secondly, Jake, in our state, the accompaniment academy lath sets the standards. And we appetite aerial standards because we access not consistently had aerial standards, unfortunately. They set the standards and the bounded academy boards advance the curriculum.
Not abandoned did we access that in the law, we reasserted it in the law. And we additionally appetite affectionate admiral in the bounded academy commune so that, in fact, you know, frankly, apprenticeship has to be run at the academy lath akin with a little admonition from the state.
Now on top of that, you appetite to allocution about the 21st Aeon and what we charge to do with our kids? We charge to alpha abutting them to the complete world. We charge to be training them for the jobs of the 21st Century, not the jobs of 20 years ago.
We charge abstruse apprenticeship starting in the seventh brand area kids can get that affectionate of apprenticeship that can booty them to college, but all the way through their K through 12 they affliction to be affiliated with real-world jobs.
Frankly, what affliction to appear is we affliction to get them to accompany their God-given talents and affix them with the things that accord them passion. And that's actually what we're accomplishing in Ohio, accumulated with mentoring programs to allocution to kids about what their approaching can be.
So let me be clear, bounded control, obviously, aerial accompaniment standards. That's what it is in the accompaniment of Ohio.
(APPLAUSE)
TAPPER: So, Agent Cruz, let me accompany you in. You commodity to Accepted Core. Governor Kasich says it's bounded academy boards developing bounded class to accommodated academy standards. What's amiss with that?
CRUZ: Accepted Bulk is a disaster. And if I am adopted president, in the aboriginal canicule as president, I will complete the Department of Apprenticeship that Accepted Bulk ends that day.
(APPLAUSE)
CRUZ: Now, let me acquaint you why you can do that, because it's accessible to allocution about the problem, but you access to access the solutions. The Obama administering has abused controlling ability in banishment accepted bulk on the states. It has acclimated race-to-the-top funds to finer bribery and force the states to access accepted core.
Now, the one argent lining of Obama abusing controlling ability is that aggregate done with controlling ability can be baffled with controlling power, and I intend to do that.
(APPLAUSE)
Beyond that, though, Jake, I intend to assignment to abate the federal Department of Apprenticeship and accelerate apprenticeship aback to the states and aback to the bounded governments.
And let me say finally, the best important ameliorate we can do in apprenticeship afterwards accepting the federal government out of it, is aggrandize academy choice; aggrandize allotment schools and home schools and clandestine schools and vouchers, and scholarships. And accord every adolescent - African American, Hispanic - every adolescent in charge an befalling to admission to a affection education.
(APPLAUSE)
TAPPER: Let's move on to accession affair of accurate absorption actuality in Florida. Florida has the accomplished allotment of seniors in the country. There are 3.1 actor arch citizens actuality who access Social Aegis benefits, and they're actual absorbed in audition what you candidates intend to do to accumulate Social Aegis activity for approaching generations.
Let me about-face now to my aide Dana Bash.
BASH: Agent Rubio, you altercate Americans your age charge access an honest chat about authoritative Social Aegis sustainable. For bodies beneath 55, you appetite to accession the retirement age and additionally abate allowances for wealthier Americans. So, what should the new retirement age be? And how abundant will those allowances be cut?
RUBIO: Well, aboriginal of all, let me say that you're right, there are about 3 actor seniors in Florida with Social Aegis and Medicare. One of them is my mother, who happens to be actuality today. I'm adjoin any changes to Social Aegis that are bad for my mother. And we don't access to accomplish any changes for them. But anyone who tells you that Social Aegis can breach the way it is is lying. Any baby-kisser that goes about saying, "We don't access to anything; all we access to do is accession a few taxes or aloof leave it the way it is," they're not actuality honest with you.
Social Aegis will go broke and it will broke the country with it. So what it will crave is bodies younger, like myself, bodies that are 30 years abroad from retirement, to access that our Social Aegis is activity to assignment abnormally than it did for my parents.
For example, instead of backward at 67 the way I'm declared to retire, I'd access to retire at 68. If I were still in the Senate, I'd be one of the youngest bodies there.
(LAUGHTER)
If I've fabricated a lot of money, my Social Aegis account will not abound as fast as accession who fabricated beneath money. And by the way, Medicare could actual able-bodied become the advantage of application my Medicare account to buy a clandestine plan that I like better. Medicare Advantage does that now.
These are not absurd changes to ask of accession like myself who is 25 or 30 years abroad from retirement, in barter for abrogation the affairs undisturbed for the bodies that are on it now or about to retire, and ensuring that we do not broke our country and that this affairs still exists aback my accouchement retire, aback my grandchildren retire, aback I retire.
(APPLAUSE)
BASH: Senator, the catechism was specific though. You fabricated your plan actual bright about about what you appetite to do, but how aerial would the retirement age go and how abundant would you cut those benefits?
RUBIO: Well, I'm apologetic I didn't acknowledgment that part. So the affair is that my - my generation, accession my age would retire at 68. We would abide to acquiesce it to admission the retirement age for approaching ancestors until it hit 70. And so my accouchement would retire at 70. I would retire at 68. It would be a admission calibration over a aeon of time.
But afresh I'm talking about bodies like myself and Ted who are 45 years old. We're years abroad from retirement. For bodies that are on it now, we don't access to change it at all. If we don't do anything, we will access a debt crisis. It's not a catechism of if. It is a catechism of when. In beneath than bristles years, abandoned 17 percent of our account will abide discretionary; 83 percent of the federal account in beneath than bristles years will all be spent on Medicare, Medicaid, the absorption on the debt.
That's - all of it will be eaten up by that. That's a debt crisis. And it will be debilitating to our abridgement and our accouchement deserve bigger than to accede a debt crisis.
(APPLAUSE)
BASH: Mr. Trump, you don't appetite to accession the retirement age, and you additionally don't appetite to cut allowances alike for wealthier Americans. But according to the Social Aegis Administration, unless adjustments are made, Social Aegis is projected to run out of money aural 20 years. So specifically, what would you do to stop that from happening?
TRUMP: Well, aboriginal of all, I appetite you to access that the Democrats, and I've watched them actual intensely, alike admitting it's a very, actual arid affair to watch, that the Democrats are accomplishing annihilation with Social Security. They're abrogation it the way it is. In fact, they appetite to admission it. They appetite to actually accord more.
And that's what we're up against. And whether we like it or not, that is what we're up against.
I will do aggregate aural my ability not to blow Social Security, to leave it the way it is; to accomplish this country affluent again; to accompany aback our jobs; to get rid of deficits; to get rid of waste, artifice and abuse, which is aggressive in this country, rampant, actually rampant.
TRUMP: And it's my complete ambition to leave Social Aegis the way it is. Not admission the age and to leave it as is.
You access 22 years, you access a continued time to go. It's not continued in acceding of what we're talking about, but it's still a continued time to go, and I appetite to leave Social Aegis as is, I appetite to accomplish our country affluent afresh so we can acquiesce it. I appetite to accompany aback our jobs, I appetite to do things that will accomplish us, that will accompany aback GDP...
I mean, as an example, GDP was aught about for the aftermost two quarters. If that anytime happened in China. you would access had a abasement like nobody's anytime apparent before. They go bottomward to 7 percent, 8 percent, and it's a - it's a civic tragedy. We're at zero, we're not accomplishing anything.
We've absent our jobs. We've absent everything. We're blow everything. Our jobs are gone, our businesses are actuality taken out of the country. I appetite to accomplish America abundant afresh and I appetite to leave Social Aegis as is. We're activity to get rid of waste, fraud, bribery and accompany aback business.

BASH: Agent Rubio, I apperceive you appetite to get in. Hang on one second, I aloof appetite to chase up with Mr. Trump. You're talking about waste, artifice and abuse, but an complete bipartisan organization, the Board For a Amenable Federal Budget, says abnormal payments like you're talking about, that would abandoned save about $3 billion, but it would booty $150 billion to accomplish Social Aegis solvent. So how would you acquisition that added $147 million?
TRUMP: Because they don't awning best of the subjects. We're the policemen of the world. We booty affliction of the complete world. We're activity to access a stronger military, abundant stronger. Our aggressive is depleted. But we booty affliction of Germany, we booty affliction of Saudi Arabia, we booty affliction of Japan, we booty affliction of South Korea.

We access 28,000 soldiers on the line, on the bound amid North and South Korea. We access so abounding places. Saudi Arabia was authoritative a billion dollars a day, and we were accepting about annihilation to assure them. We are activity to be in a altered world. We're activity to accommodate complete deals now, and we're activity to accompany the abundance aback to our country. We owe $19 trillion. We're activity to accompany abundance aback to our country. (APPLAUSE)
BASH: Agent Rubio, will that be abundant to save Social Security?

In Florida, you can't allocution about that, but bodies apperceive that it's the accuracy actuality in Florida.
Fraud is not enough. Certainly, let's apple-pie out the fraud, but as you said, it won't add up. You already gave those numbers. The additional point is on adopted aid. I apprehend that all the time as well. I'm adjoin any array of crumbling of money on adopted aid, but it's beneath than 1 percent of our federal budget. The numbers don't add up.
The basal band is we can't aloof abide to tip-toe about this and bandy out things like I'm activity to get at artifice and abuse. Let's get rid of fraud, let's get rid of abuse, let's be added accurate about how we absorb adopted aid. But you still access hundreds of billions of dollars of arrears that you're activity to access to accomplish up.
And here's the thing. If we do not do it, we will access a debt crisis. Not to acknowledgment a crisis in Social Aegis and Medicare. Both parties access taken far too continued to accord with it. It is one of the aloft issues adjoin America. It's about been asked in any of these debates. And we'd bigger accord with or we're activity to access to explain to our accouchement why they affiliated this disaster.
(APPLAUSE)
BASH: Mr. Trump, Agent Rubio says your numbers don't add up. What's your response? Agent Rubio says that your numbers don't add up. What's your response, Mr. Trump?

I've been activity over budgets and attractive at budgets. We don't bid things out. We don't bid out, as an example, the biologic industry, biologic industry. They don't go out to bid. They aloof pay about as if you airing into a biologic store. That's what they're paying.
And the acumen is they access a absurd lobby. They booty affliction of all of the senators, the Congressmen. They access abundant ability and they don't bid out. The aggressive is never appropriately bid. Aback we go out to aggressive bids, it's not appropriately bid. And the bodies that actually advertise us the artefact are oftentimes the artefact we don't want, abandoned because that accurate aggregation has political juice, OK?

It's like government spending. It is actual easy. Hillary Clinton says she'll cut waste, artifice and abuse. If abandoned we had smarter bodies in Washington, that would fix the problem. You apperceive what? That is the account of a advanced who doesn't access government is the problem.

I've defined bristles aloft agencies that I would eliminate, 25 programs. And Dana, you apperceive why political candidates don't do that? Because aback you do that, the lobbyists advance you. Aback you specify the programs you would eliminate, afresh you get attacked. Let's allocution for archetype aback in Iowa the aboriginal primary. Aback I went to Iowa and campaigned adjoin booze mandates, anybody said that was political suicide. You can't booty on booze in Iowa. And my opponents on this date not abandoned didn't do the same. They attacked me and alike promised to aggrandize accumulated welfare.
(BELL RINGS)
If we're activity to stop bankrupting our kids and grandkids, you've got to be accommodating to booty on the lobbyists, which agency not aloof some absurd waste, artifice and abuse, but allegorical these are the programs I'll annihilate so that we can booty affliction of the adamantine animate taxpayer.
(APPLAUSE)
BASH: Accede you Agent Cruz.
Mr. Trump, would you like to respond?
TRUMP: Yes. If you attending aback to Iowa, Ted did change his appearance and his attitude on booze actually a bit. He did and - at the end. Not abounding on, but he did change his appearance in the hopes of maybe accomplishing well. And you know, I anticipate everybody knows that. It was a advanced folio adventure all over the place, and he did accomplish a change.
BASH: Agent Cruz?
CRUZ: Listen, if you are fed up with Washington, the catechism you affliction to be allurement is who is accommodating to booty on Washington? It's accessible to access language, I'm fed up with the bribery in Washington. But if you access a applicant who has been allotment advanced Democrats and allotment the Washington establishment, it's actual adamantine to brainstorm how aback this applicant is activity to booty on Washington.
When I stood up and led the activity adjoin Obamacare, Washington was bent and attacked me, but I did it because I was anniversary my charge to the aggressive men and women of this country who are blow their jobs because of Obamacare.

BASH: OK. Mr. Trump, I'll let you accede because he mentioned you but afresh I'm activity to move to Governor Kasich. Go ahead.
TRUMP: Well, that's fine. Aboriginal of all, Ted was in favor of amnesty. So there's no catechism about that. And Sheriff Joe Arpaio afresh accustomed me and there's cipher tougher on the borders than Sheriff Joe. And Jeff Sessions, one of the best admired Agent in Washington, an absurd man, additionally accustomed me.
And there's cipher that knows added about the borders than Agent Jeff Sessions. I would say this. We're all in this together. We're activity to appear up with solutions. We're activity to acquisition the answers to things. And so far I cannot access how civilian it's been up here.
(APPLAUSE)
BASH: Governor Kasich, let's get aback to Social Security. You told a aborigine in New Hampshire to quote, "Get over cuts to Social Aegis benefits" because you access a ameliorate plan and that is aloof the absoluteness you say that is out there. Why is acid Social Aegis payments the solution?
KASICH: Well, aboriginal of all, we apprehend about demography on Washington. I took on Washington and I won. I actually got the account counterbalanced aback I was a affiliate of the Congress, the administrator of the account committee. We paid bottomward a bisected a abundance dollars of the civic debt. We additionally counterbalanced the account four years in a row. And we were aloof growing jobs like crazy and the allowance affair was not alike an affair then.
I additionally had a plan in 1999 to save Social Aegis and booty the $5 abundance projected surplus and not abandoned access Social Aegis for our adolescent people, but additionally to accord them clandestine accounts. Now there are added 18-year-olds who access they access a bigger adventitious of seeing a UFO than a Social Aegis analysis and we access a lot of seniors who are actual nervous.
KASICH: I access a plan to fix it that doesn't alike crave adopting the retirement age.
If you've had abundance throughout your lifetime, aback the time comes to be on Social Security, you'll still get it. It will aloof artlessly be less. And for those bodies who depend on that Social Security, they'll get their abounding benefit. That's the way it will work. And we don't access to monkey about with the retirement age. And how do I apperceive that? I've done all this before.
This is not a theory. Do you access to booty on alms programs to antithesis a budget? Yes. It doesn't beggarly you access to cut them. It agency you charge to innovate them, the way we do things in the 21st Century.
So not abandoned did we access a counterbalanced account in Washington, but aback I went to Ohio, we were $8 billion in the aperture and now we're $2 billion in the black. Our acclaim is strong. We're up 400,000 jobs. And I appetite to go aback with the aforementioned blueprint to exhausted the Washington assembly again.
And I will get it done, and this country will be abundant stronger economically as a result.
(APPLAUSE)
TAPPER: Accede you, Governor.
Let's booty a broader attending at the Republican Affair now. Mr. Trump, one of the apropos your opponents access behest throughout the advance of this advance is the angle that in their admiration you ascendancy angle that are at complete allowance with Republican Affair tradition.
How are you attractive to fundamentally change the Republican Affair as its abeyant leader? What should the Republican Affair angle for in 2016?
TRUMP: Well, aboriginal of all, I don't actually anticipate that. I anticipate that I ascendancy angle that are actual agnate to abounding of the people. We are added inclusive. And if you attending at the acclamation and if you attending at the millions of bodies that access been cloudburst into the polls, it's, again, the bigger story.
You attending at all of these bodies that are advancing in, commodity is happening. I am altered in one primary respect, and that's trade. I feel that we access had abhorrent negotiators, abhorrent barter deals. The jobs in this country are disappearing, and abnormally the acceptable jobs.
You attending at the contempo jobs reports, which are actually done so that presidents and politicians attending good, because all of these bodies attractive for jobs, aback they accord up, they go home, they accord up, and they are advised statistically employed. So that's that.
But I will say, barter deals are actually killing our country. The devaluations of their currencies by China and Japan and many, abounding added countries, and we don't do it because we don't comedy the game. and the abandoned way we're activity to be able to do it is we're activity to access to do taxes unless they behave.
If you don't tax assertive articles advancing into this country from assertive countries that are demography advantage of the Affiliated States and bedlam at our stupidity, we're activity to abide to lose businesses and we're activity to abide to lose jobs.
And if you attending at the boilerplate artisan over the aftermost 12 years, their bacon and their pay access gone down, not up. It has gone down. And I anticipate that's why there has been such an admission of adulation to what I'm saying.
TAPPER: Accede you, Mr. Trump. Agent Cruz...
(APPLAUSE)
TAPPER: ... Donald Trump has so far won 35 percent of the vote. Those bodies are signing up to his eyes of the Republican Party. What do you anticipate is amiss with that vision?
CRUZ: Well, Donald is right, for example, he was aloof talking about all-embracing trade. He's appropriate about the problems. But his solutions don't work. So, for example, his band-aid on all-embracing trade, he proposed beforehand a 45 percent assessment on adopted goods.
Now he backed abroad from that anon and he may appear aback with a altered cardinal tonight. I don't apperceive area he'll be tonight. But I'll acquaint you what happens. You know, we've apparent above-mentioned presidential candidates who proposed massive tariffs, you know, Smoot- Hawley led to the Abundant Depression.
And the aftereffect of a 45 percent assessment would be aback you go to the store, aback you go to Walmart, aback you are arcade for your kids, the prices you pay go up 45 percent. But not abandoned that, aback you put those in place, because a assessment is a tax on you, the American people, but the acknowledgment of that is that the countries we barter with put in their own tariffs.
A abundant bigger band-aid that works is the tax plan I've laid out which would accredit our exports to be tax-free, would tax our imports, would not accession prices for Americans, and would not aftereffect in alternate tariffs. Fix the botheration and that's what's missing from what Donald says.
(APPLAUSE)
TAPPER: Mr. Trump, we'll accord you a adventitious to respond.
TRUMP: The 45 percent tax is a threat. It was not a tax, it was a threat. It will be a tax if they don't behave. Booty China as an example. I access abounding friends, abundant manufacturers, they appetite to go into China. They can't. China won't let them. We allocution about chargeless trade. It's not timberline chargeless trade, it's brainless trade.
China depression aggregate that they access over here. No tax, no nothing, no problems, no curfews (ph), no anything. We can't get into China. I access the best people, manufacturers, they can't get in. Aback they get in, they access to pay a amazing tax.
The 45 percent is a blackmail that if they don't behave, if they don't chase the rules and regulations so that we can access it according on both sides, we will tax you. It doesn't access to be 45, it could be less. But it has to be commodity because our country and our barter and our deals and best chiefly our jobs are activity to hell.
(APPLAUSE)
TAPPER: Agent Cruz?
CRUZ: Jake, let me be bright what Donald aloof said. He said that that 45 percent tax is a threat. And apperception you, you are advantageous the tax. It's not China that pays the tax. It's you, the animate men and women.
So ask yourself at home: How is this allowance you? If your accomplishment access been brackish for 20 years; if you can't pay the bills, how does it admonition you to access a admiral appear and say, "I'm activity to jack - I'm activity to put a 45 percent tax on diapers aback you buy diapers, on automobiles aback you buy automobiles, on accouterment aback you buy clothing." That hurts you.
It's why we've got to get aloft address of China bad, and actually get to how do you breach the problem. Because this band-aid would aching jobs and aching aggressive taxpayers in America.
TAPPER: OK.
TRUMP: Jake, I access to say - honestly, it's aloof the opposite. What will appear if they don't behave, we will put on a tax of some amount, and it could be a ample amount, and we will alpha architecture those factories and those plants. Instead of in China, we'll anatomy them here. And bodies will buy articles from here, rather than affairs it through China area we're actuality ripped off. And we access a $505 billion barter arrears appropriate now.
So we'll anatomy our factories actuality and we'll accomplish our own products. And that's the way it should be done. And the way we've been accomplishing it for the aftermost continued aeon of time is our country - our country is in serious, austere trouble. It's a balloon and it's activity to explode, access me.
TAPPER: All right. We're activity to booty a actual quick break. Aback we appear back, we'll access abundant added of this Republican presidential agitation from the University of Miami appropriate afterwards this. Breach with us.
(APPLAUSE)
(COMMERCIAL BREAK)
TAPPER: Acceptable aback to the CNN Republican presidential agitation in Miami, Florida.
Mr. Trump, let me alpha with you. Aftermost night, you told CNN quote, "Islam hates us?" Did you beggarly all 1.6 billion Muslims.
TRUMP: I beggarly a lot of them. I beggarly a lot of them.
DINAN: Do you appetite to analyze the animadversion at all?
TRUMP: Well, you know, I've been watching the agitation today. And they're talking about abolitionist Islamic agitation or abolitionist Islam. But I will acquaint you this. There's commodity activity on that maybe you don't apperceive about, maybe a lot of added bodies don't apperceive about, but there's amazing hatred. And I will stick with actually what I said to Anderson Cooper.
(APPLAUSE)
DINAN: Agent Rubio, your supporter, Republican Agent Jeff Sessions, said in acknowledgment to Mr. Trump's animadversion aftermost night, I'm apologetic - Agent Jeff Flake, I apologize. Your supporter, Republican Agent Jeff Flake said in acknowledgment to that comment, Republicans are bigger than this. Do you agree?
RUBIO: Well, let me say, I apperceive that a lot of bodies acquisition address in the things Donald says account he says what bodies ambition they could say. The botheration is, presidents can't aloof say annihilation they want. It has consequences, actuality and about the world.
(APPLAUSE)
RUBIO: And so let me accord you one. Two canicule ago, I met this amazing brace who were on furlough because they are missionaries in Bangladesh. It's a actual boxy abode to be a missionary. It's Muslim.
And their assurance and aegis actual abundant relies aloft affable Muslims that animate forth ancillary them, that may not convert, but assure them and actually attending out for them. And their mission acreage actually are Muslims that are attractive to catechumen to Christianity as well. And they acquaint me that today they access a actual adverse ambiance in which to accomplish in because the account is advancing out that in America, arch political abstracts are adage that America doesn't like Muslims. So this is a complete impact. There's no agnosticism that abolitionist Islam is a crisis in the world.
I can additionally acquaint you if you go to any civic cemetery, abnormally Arlington, you're activity to see bow-shaped moons there. If you go anywhere in the apple you're activity see American men and women confined us in compatible that are Muslims.
(APPLAUSE)
RUBIO: And they adulation America. And as far as I know, no one on this date has served in compatible in the Affiliated States military. Anyone out there that has the compatible of the Affiliated States on and is accommodating to die for this country is accession that loves America. No bulk what their religious accomplishments may be.
DINAN: Mr. Trump?
(APPLAUSE)
TRUMP: Marco talks about consequences. Well, we've had a lot of consequences, including airplanes aerial into the Apple Barter Center, the Pentagon and could access been the White House. There access been a lot of problems.
Now you can say what you want, and you can be politically actual if you want. I don't appetite to be so politically correct. I like to breach problems. We access a serious, austere botheration of hate.
(APPLAUSE)
TRUMP: There is amazing hate. There is amazing hate. Area ample portions of a accumulation of people, Islam, ample portions appetite to use very, actual acrid means. Let me go a footfall further. Women are advised horribly. You apperceive that. You do apperceive that. Women are advised horribly, and added things are blow that are very, actual bad.
(BELL RINGS)
Now I will say this, there is amazing hatred. The catechism was asked, what do you think? I said, there is hatred. Now it would be actual accessible for me to say commodity differently. And everybody would say, oh, isn't that wonderful.
DINAN: Mr. Trump, accede you.
TRUMP: We bigger breach the botheration afore it's too late.
DINAN: Agent Rubio?
(APPLAUSE) RUBIO: Well, actuality we go. See, I'm not absorbed in actuality politically correct. I'm not absorbed in actuality politically correct. I'm absorbed in actuality correct.
(APPLAUSE)
RUBIO: And in adjustment to be actual on this issue, here's the basal line. We do work. There is - Islam has a aloft botheration on its hands. It has a cogent allotment of its adherents, accurate in the Sunni acceptance but additionally in the Shia, who access been radicalized. And are accommodating to fly planes into a architecture and annihilate innocent people.
There is no agnosticism about that. It is additionally accurate if you attending about the apple at the challenges we face, we are activity to access to assignment calm with added - with Muslims, who do not - who are not radicals. We're activity to access to assignment with the Jordanian kingdom.
We're activity to access to assignment with the Saudis. We're activity to access to assignment with the Gulf kingdoms. We're activity to access to assignment with the Egyptians to defeat, for example, ISIS.
(BELL RING)
RUBIO: It will booty a Sunni Arab movement to defeat them.
And so I anticipate you can be actual afterwards acceptation to be politically correct. We are activity to access to assignment with bodies of the Muslim acceptance alike as Islam itself faces a austere crisis aural it of radicalization.
TAPPER: Accede you, Senator.
(APPLAUSE)
Governor Kasich, do you anticipate Islam hates us?
KASICH: No, I don't. I anticipate there is a camp of, you know, this abolitionist Islam that is really, actually serious, and poses the greatest blackmail to us today. There isn't any question. And that's why the accomplished apple has to assignment calm to accomplish constant that we don't access admeasurement of these weapons of accumulation destruction.
But look, I was there when, and saw it, aback the Egyptian agent to the Affiliated States was in the Rose Garden bringing the Arab Muslim apple to assignment with us to repel Saddam Hussein from Kuwait. The actuality is that if we're activity to defeat ISIS, we're activity to access to access these countries. And they are Egypt. And they are Saudi Arabia. And they are Jordan. And they are the Gulf states.
And we're activity to access in some way or accession a rapprochement with Turkey. And I bluntly anticipate the Europeans went in the amiss administering aback they abandoned Turkey from abutting in to the bread-and-butter apple of Europe. The simple actuality of the bulk is, a lot of these Muslim countries, they are aloof - they can't access the actuality they see out of bodies who access adulterated their faith.
Look, the bodies who represent abolitionist Islam, they appetite to abort aggregate that we're about and added Muslims who don't allotment their view. But at the end of the day, we've got to accompany the apple together, the affable world. And we all allege with one articulation to accomplish constant that bodies who sit on the fence access what acculturation is, and we represent it, and adequation and achievement for everybody.
TAPPER: Accede you, Governor Kasich.
Mr. Trump, I appetite to ask you about commodity abroad you've said during the advance of this campaign. You said that the U.S. has to, quote, "take out" the families of terrorists. Aback it was acicular out that targeting civilians is adjoin the Geneva Conventions, you said, quote, "So they can annihilate us, but we can't annihilate them?"
It is adjoin federal, aggressive and all-embracing law to ambition civilians. So how will you adjustment the aggressive to ambition the families of doubtable terrorists, while additionally constant by the law?
TRUMP: Let me go aback to the added aloof for a second. In ample mosques, all over the Boilerplate East, you access bodies chanting "death to the USA." Now, that does not complete like a affable act to me.
As far as the families are concerned, and as far as the law is concerned, we access a law - this all started with your catechism on baptize boarding. We access a law that doesn't acquiesce appropriate now baptize boarding. They access no laws. They access no rules. They access no regulations. They chop off heads. They asphyxiate 40, 50, 60 bodies at a time in big animate cages, cull them up an hour later, anybody dead. And we're animate on a altered set of parameters.
Now, we access to obey the laws. Access to obey the laws. But we access to aggrandize those laws, because we access to be able to activity on at atomic somewhat of an according basement or we will never anytime beating out ISIS and all of the others that are so bad.
We bigger aggrandize our laws or we're actuality a agglomeration of suckers, and they are bedlam at us. They are bedlam at us, access me.
(APPLAUSE)
TAPPER: Agent Rubio, would you as admiral accompany a activity of targeting the families of doubtable terrorists?
RUBIO: No, of advance not. And we don't access to in adjustment to defeat terrorists. The way you defeat terrorists is appealing straightforward. It's difficult to do, but it has to be done. Aback I'm admiral of the Affiliated States, the best intelligence agencies in the apple that appropriate now access been hamstrung. They're activity to be expanded. And the best intelligence agencies in the apple are activity to acquisition terrorists.
And afresh the best aggressive in the world, which needs to be rebuilt because - because Barack Obama is gutting our military. He's activity to leave us with the aboriginal Army aback the end of Apple War II, and the aboriginal Navy in a century, and the aboriginal Air Force we've anytime had.
We are activity to apple-pie that aggressive and that aggressive is activity to acquisition the terrorists and abort them. And if we abduction any of these terrorists alive, they're not activity to access the appropriate to abide silent. And they're not activity to go to a attorneys in Manhattan. They're activity to go to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba and we will acquisition out aggregate they apperceive and we'll do so legally.
(APPLAUSE) TAPPER: Agent Cruz, you've talked about alteration the rules of assurance in activity adjoin ISIS. Would that accommodate targeting the families of doubtable terrorists?
CRUZ: No, of advance not. We've never targeted innocent civilians and we're not activity to alpha now. But listen, Jake, I understand. Bodies are afraid and for seven years, we've faced agitator attacks and Admiral Obama lectures Americans on Islamophobia. That is maddening.
But the acknowledgment is not artlessly to yell, "China bad, Muslims bad." You've got to access the attributes of the threats we're adverse and how you accord with them. And yes, it is accurate there are millions of abolitionist Islamic terrorists who seek to annihilate us. We charge a president, administrator in arch focused on affronted them.
CRUZ: And I'll acquaint you, bluntly one affair I access with Donald is that although his accent is actually incendiary, aback you attending at his complete behavior on Iran, he has said he would not rip up this Iranian nuclear deal. I anticipate that's a mistake.
The Ayatollah Khomeini wants nuclear weapons to annihilation us. I'll accord you accession example, ambidextrous with Islamic abolitionist terrorism. On Israel, Donald has said he wants to be aloof amid Israel and the Palestinians.
As president, I will not be neutral. And let me say this week, a Texan, Taylor Force. He was an Eagle Scout, he was a West Point graduate, he was an Army veteran. He was murdered by a Palestinian agitator this anniversary in Israel, and I don't anticipate we charge a administrator in chief...

He was asleep in a Palestinian alarm advance abreast Tel Aviv, abounding others were killed. And the Israeli government says the Palestinian ascendancy is annoying this. Do you still appetite to breach aloof aback the Palestinian ascendancy is annoying these attacks.
TRUMP: Aboriginal of all, there's cipher on this date that's added pro Israel than I am. OK. There's nobody.

HEWITT: I appetite to go aback to the Israeli government's affirmation that the Palestinian Ascendancy is annoying the advance of violence. Do you agree.
RUBIO: Well, that's undeniable. Aboriginal of all, they've said, they've encouraged bodies to do so. And you've apparent the speeches of the Palestinian Ascendancy admiral how august this is that they're accomplishing these sorts of things.
But let me go aback for a moment. The activity Donald has outlined, I don't apperceive if he realizes, is an anti-Israeli policy. Maybe that's not your absorbed but here's why it is an anti-Israeli policy. There is no accord accord accessible with the Palestinians at this moment. There aloof isn't.
(APPLAUSE)
RUBIO: Because there's no one to accommodate with. The Palestinian Ascendancy is not absorbed in a austere accord and they are now in abutment with Hamas, an alignment whose specific purpose is the abolition of the Jewish state. Every time that Israel has affronted over area of any kind, be is Gaza, or now in Judea and Sumaira, it is acclimated as a ablution pad to advance Israel. And that's what will appear again.
These groups are not absorbed in a accord with Israel. What they are absorbed in is ultimately removing the Jewish accompaniment and application its complete territory.
(BELL RINGS)
So maybe in 30 years the altitude will exist, but they do not abide now.
HEWITT: Mr. Trump, and afresh I'll appear to you Agent Kasich.
RUBIO: And To access a admiral banishment the Israelis to the table is adverse to the Israeli and emboldens Israel's enemies.
HEWITT: Accede you senator.
(APPLAUSE)
Mr. Trump a acknowledgment and afresh we'll go to Governor Kasich.
TRUMP: If I become admiral of the Affiliated States, one of the things that will be an complete antecedence is cardinal one, aegis of Israel, but additionally seeing if a accord can be made, the toughest deal, the toughest acceding there apparently is of any affectionate no bulk area you look, no bulk how adamantine you look.
But I would like to accord it a shot. Very, actual pro-Israel, cipher added pro-Israel. But I would adulation to accord it a shot. And I access to acquaint you this, Hugh. I access friend, Israelis, non-Israelis, bodies from New York Burghal that appear to be Jewish and adulation Israel, and some are actual boxy people, every distinct one of them, they apperceive it's tough, but every distinct one of them wants to see if we could anytime access accord in Israel.
And some access it's possible. It may not be, in which case we'll acquisition out. But it would be a antecedence if I become admiral to see what I could do.
HEWITT: Governor Kasich, do you accede the Israeli government that the Palestinian Ascendancy is annoying this violence?
KASICH: Well, there's no question. They were adage that the Israelis advised to go to the Dome of the Rock. And I mean, aback you anticipate about this, accede advantage we assignment with Israelis to accord them the Iron Dome area they can assure themselves adjoin all the missiles that were aerial in. Could you brainstorm active in like Miami actuality and accepting bodies cutting missiles in?
Secondly, there was aloof an commodity the added day, Hugh, that I apperceive you're accustomed with the Israelis are acquirements to alternation underground in activity because the Palestinians now, Hamas in particular, is digging these tunnels aggravating to get beneath Israel. They're advancing at them from above, they're aggravating to appear at them beneath the ground.
And I aloof access to acquaint you this, I don't access there is any abiding constant accord solution. And I anticipate advancing that is the amiss affair to do. I access that every day that we can adherence in that arena by acknowledging the Israelis and authoritative constant they access the weapons and the aegis that they charge with our 100 percent abetment is the way to advance in the Boilerplate East in attention to Israel.
(APPLAUSE)
HEWITT: Accede you, Governor. Agent Cruz, I appetite to breach in the region. Aloof this anniversary the arch of U.S. Central Command, Accepted Accepted Lloyd Austin, about said it's activity to booty a lot added troops on the arena to fix - to end the ISIS blackmail in Syria and Iraq.
From the alpha of this campaign, you access said you will chase the acumen of aggressive commanders in the Pentagon. So here's the administrator adage we charge a lot added troops on the ground. Will you chase that admonition and inject Americans afresh into what is in aspect is metastasizing Sunni-Shia civilian war?
CRUZ: We charge to do whatever is all-important to actually defeat ISIS. And that's needs to be apprenticed not by politicians but by aggressive ability and judgment. Appropriate now we're not application a atom of the accoutrement that we have. We're not application our cutting air power. We're not arming the Kurds. Those charge to be the aboriginal steps. And afresh we charge to put whatever arena ability is bare to backpack it out.
But, you know, a catechism that actually Jake asked, and I'm animated to appear aback to it now, is rules of engagement. We access appropriate now our troops affianced in activity but Admiral Obama has rules of assurance that are so austere that their accoutrements are affronted abaft their back.
They're not able to fight. They're not able to avert themselves. They're not able to annihilate the enemy. And I access got to acquaint you, Hugh, I anticipate that is wrong. It is immoral. And I accord my chat to every soldier, sailor, and airman, and marine, and every wife and husband, every son and daughter, every mother and father, that will end in January 2017.
(APPLAUSE)
HEWITT: Governor Kasich, if it takes 20,000 or 30,000, if the Pentagon says that's what needs to be done, will you chase their advice?
KASICH: Hugh, I've said all forth and laid out my adopted policy, I'm activity to admonish everybody that 55 percent of the adopted activity experts in this country said I was the best to be commander-in- chief. I spent 18 years on the Aegis Committee, Armed Services, and afresh I was in the Pentagon with Donald Rumsfeld afterwards 9/11, in and out for a brace of years.
We actually access to win this with a coalition. Arabs access to be with us. The Europeans access to access that this blackmail is afterpiece to them than alike is afterpiece - is as abutting as it is to us. And in accession to that, you access to be in the air and you access to be on the ground.
And you accompany all the force you need. It has got to be "shock and awe" in the military-speak. Afresh already it gets done, and we will apple-pie them out, already it gets done, it settles down, we appear home and let the bounded admiral alter the map if that's what it takes.
HEWITT: Mr. Trump, added troops? TRUMP: We actually access no choice. We access to beating out ISIS. We access to beating the hell out of them. We access to get rid of it. And afresh appear aback and apple-pie our country, which is falling apart. We access no choice.
HEWITT: How many...
(CROSSTALK)
TRUMP: I would accept to the generals, but I'm audition numbers of 20,000 to 30,000. We access to beating them out fast. Look, we're not accustomed to fight. We can't fight. We're not animadversion out the oil because they don't appetite to actualize ecology bribery up in the air.
I mean, these are things that cipher alike believes. They anticipate we're kidding. They didn't appetite to beating out the oil because of what it's activity to do to the carbon footprint. We don't activity like we acclimated to fight. We acclimated to activity to win. Now we activity for no acumen whatsoever. We don't alike apperceive what we're doing.
(APPLAUSE)
TRUMP: So, the acknowledgment is we access to beating them out. We access to beating them out fast. And we access to get aback home. And we access to apple-pie our country which is falling apart.
TAPPER: Accede you, Mr. Trump.
Let's about-face from accepted conflicts to those who access served in conflicts.
Senator Rubio, according to a V.A. study, of the 22 veterans who accomplish suicide every day, 17 of them access no affiliation to the V.A. The V.A. believes that this abridgement of affiliation is one of the affidavit for this tragically aerial suicide rate.
What accurately would you do as admiral to accomplish constant that veterans in crisis are able to get the admonition they need?
RUBIO: Well, aboriginal let me say that one out of four calls to our appointment is about a adept actuality in Florida that's disturbing with the V.A. my brother is a veteran. He's disturbing with the V.A.
The added day, we heard this abhorrent story. It was a banderole in USA Today, and it said, "Calls to the V.A. Suicide Hotline Went to Voicemail." Well, about a few canicule ago, we now begin out that one of the gentlemen - one of the veterans who larboard a voicemail committed suicide. And they happened to alarm him aback the day afterwards he died.
People charge to be captivated answerable for this. One of the things I'm proudest of is that in my time in the U.S. Senate animate with Jeff Miller actuality from Florida in a bipartisan way, and I'll accord him acclaim - Bernie Sanders was a allotment of this - we anesthetized a V.A. accountability bill. And what it did is it created now a law that gives the V.A. secretary, because of the law I passed, it gives the V.A. secretary the ability to blaze bodies that aren't accomplishing a acceptable job.
Senior admiral should be captivated answerable if the V.A. exhausted isn't working. The botheration is no one's actuality captivated accountable. Alike afterwards we anesthetized that law, no one's been accursed for no outreach. No one's been accursed for calls activity to the voicemail. No one's been disciplined. No one's been demoted.
When I'm admiral of the Affiliated States, if you assignment at the V.A. and you are not accomplishing a acceptable job, you will be accursed from your job at the V.A. (APPLAUSE)
TAPPER: Governor Kasich, the Veterans Affairs Department is one of the bigger band items in the calm budget. As allotment of its advance to cut costs, the Republican-controlled House of Representatives aloof voted to try to abate spending in the post-9/11 GI Bill.
Should veterans' allowances be allotment of attempts to abate the deficit?
KASICH: I don't - I haven't apparent the accoutrement of that bill, Jake. My antecedent instincts are no. And let me aloof say about the V.A. Aback a adept comes home, they affliction to access admission to healthcare wherever they appetite to go at any time, cardinal one.
Number two, the Veterans Administering needs to be restructured. It needs to be downsized and advance out. It needs to be so acknowledging to the needs of the veterans.
And secondly, the Pentagon needs to allotment the advice of abiding veterans with the veterans' account operations in the states and with the job bodies in the states so that aback a adept comes home, they can be affiliated with a job.
And aback that happens, that agency that every adept will get work, because they're our aureate employees. No adept affliction to be afterwards healthcare; no adept affliction to be homeless; and no adept affliction to be unemployed in the Affiliated States of America.
TAPPER: Accede you, Governor Kasich.
(APPLAUSE)
Let's about-face to accession affair of complete accent actuality in Florida. Aloof over a anniversary from now, Admiral Obama will appointment Cuba, the aboriginal time in 88 years that a sitting U.S. admiral will set bottom in Cuba.
Two of you on this date access parents who were built-in in Cuba and confused to the Affiliated States. Let's go aback to my aide Dana Bash.
BASH: Agent Rubio, Donald Trump agrees with Admiral Obama in his accommodation to reengage diplomatically in Cuba. The majority of Americans assume to accede with that as well. So why are Admiral Obama, Donald Trump and the majority of Americans wrong?
RUBIO: Well, I would adulation the accord amid Cuba and the Affiliated States to change. But it will crave Cuba to change, at atomic its government. Today, it has not. The actuality of the bulk is that afterwards these changes were fabricated - afterwards these changes were made, there are now millions and hundreds of millions of dollars that will breeze to the Castro regime.
It will now acquiesce them to become set constant and in stone. They will now be able to backpack out a alteration area the aggressive continues to run the country there. They'll put a boob bulk advanced as their new president. And annihilation will change for the Cuban people.
There has not been a distinct autonomous opening; not a distinct change on the island in animal rights. In fact, things are worse than they were afore this opening. The abandoned affair that's afflicted as a aftereffect of this aperture is that now the Cuban government has added sources of money from which to anatomy out their backbreaking accoutrement and advance themselves there permanently.
And we asked annihilation in return. Analyze that to the changes that were appropriate in Burma. And by no agency is Burma a complete country. But at atomic aback there was a autonomous aperture to Burma, they were appropriate to accomplish some autonomous openings. Aback there was a adept opening, it appropriate autonomous opening. And today, the aloft boyhood affair is now the majority affair in their aldermanic body.
He asked annihilation in acknowledgment and we are accepting annihilation in return. And Cuba and its administering charcoal an anti-American antipathetic dictatorship, helped North Korea balk U.N. sanctions. It's harboring fugitives of American justice, including bodies burglary our Medicare money and affective aback to Cuba, all in barter for nothing.
(APPLAUSE)
BASH: Mr. Trump, you said the abstraction of aperture Cuba is fine. You said the abstraction of aperture Cuba is fine. Why do you accede with Admiral Obama and disagree with what Agent Rubio aloof said?
TRUMP: Well, I don't actually accede with Admiral Obama. I anticipate I'm about in the middle. What I appetite is I appetite a abundant bigger accord to be fabricated because appropriate now, Cuba is authoritative - as accepted with our country, we don't accomplish acceptable deal. We don't access our appropriate bodies negotiating, we access bodies that don't access a clue.
As an example, I heard afresh area the blackmail was fabricated that they appetite reparations for years of bribery by the Affiliated States, and nobody's talking about it and they'll end up signing a accord and afresh we'll get sued for $400 billion or $1 trillion.
All that actuality has to be agreed to now. We don't appetite to get sued afterwards the accord is made. So I don't accede with Admiral Obama, I do accede commodity should be - should booty place. Afterwards 50 years, it's abundant time, folks. But we access to accomplish a acceptable accord and we access to get rid of all the activity that's activity to happen.
This was aloof a little adventure but it was a big adventure to me because I said oh, actuality we go, we accomplish a deal, afresh get sued for a amazing bulk of money for reparations. So I appetite to do something, but it's got to be done intelligently. We access to accomplish acceptable deal.
BASH: Agent Rubio, I apperceive you appetite to get in. But aloof to be clear, Mr. Trump, are you adage that if you were president, you would abide the adept relations or would you about-face them?
TRUMP: I would appetite to accomplish a acceptable deal, I would appetite to accomplish a strong, solid, acceptable accord because appropriate now, aggregate is in Cuba's favor. Appropriate now, everything, every distinct aspect of this accord is in Cuba's favor. It the aforementioned way as the Iran deal.
We never absolved - we never - all we do is accumulate giving. We accord and accord and give.
BASH: But Mr. Trump, aloof to be clear, there is an admiral that you would access to adjudge whether it would be accessible or whether you would abutting it. Which would it be? In Havana.
TRUMP: I would apparently access the admiral bankrupt until such time as a actually acceptable accord was fabricated and addled by the Affiliated States. (APPLAUSE)
RUBIO: All right, aboriginal of all, the admiral is the aloft consulate. It's the aforementioned building. So it could aloof go aback to actuality alleged a consulate. We don't access to abutting it that way. Additional of all, I don't apperceive area Cuba is activity to use, but if they sue us in a cloister in Miami, they're activity to lose.
(LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE)
Third, on the affair of a acceptable deal, I apperceive what the acceptable deal. I'll acquaint you what the acceptable accord now, it's already codified. Here's a acceptable accord - Cuba has chargeless elections, Cuba stops putting bodies in bastille for speaking out, Cuba has abandon of the press, Cuba bliss out the Russians from Lourdes (ph) and bliss out the Chinese alert base in Berupal (ph) Cuba stops allowance North Korea balk U.N. sanctions, Cuba takes all of those fugitives of America justice, including that cop analgesic from New Jersey, and accelerate her aback to the Affiliated States and to bastille area she belongs. And you apperceive what? Afresh we can access a accord with Cuba. That's a acceptable deal.
(APPLAUSE)
BASH: Accede you, Agent Rubio. Agent Cruz, if you become president, would you about-face advance and already afresh breach adept relations with Cuba?
CRUZ: Yes, I would. And you know, I anticipate this barter actually highlights a complete best for Republican primary voters. Aback it comes to adopted policy, do you appetite to abide on the aforementioned basal aisle as the aftermost seven years of the Obama adopted policy? Aback it comes to these deals, Cuba and Iran, they were adjourned by Hillary Clinton and John Kerry.
There's a complete aberration amid us. Donald accurate Hillary Clinton and John Kerry. And what he said appropriate now is that he agrees in assumption with what they're doing. The abandoned affair he thinks is that they should accommodate a little bit bigger deals, they should be added effective. I access a axiological altercation and I anticipate best Republicans and best Americans do, that we shouldn't be acceptance billions of dollars to go to nations that abhorrence us to go to Cuba, to go to Iran and to let them use those billions of dollars to try to annihilation us.
(APPLAUSE)
CUBA: Accede you Agent Cruz. Mr. Trump.
TRUMP: Well, if Ted was listening, he would access heard me say commodity actual similar. I said we would not do the accord unless it was activity to be a actual acceptable accord for us. And I anticipate I said it loud and I anticipate I said it actual clear. And I anticipate afterwards 50 years, and I access abounding friends, I own abounding backdrop in Miami, many, many, and I access abounding bodies that apperceive and they feel actually the way I do, accomplish a deal, it would be great, but it's got to be a abundant accord for the Affiliated States, not a bad accord for the Affiliated States. As far as Iran is concerned, I would access never fabricated that deal. That is one of the affliction deals ever, anytime fabricated by this country. It is a disaster. So for Ted to say I accede with this deal, I mean, it's a basic in my speeches that that may he affliction distinct accord I've anytime apparent negotiated. So don't try to put it on me like it's wonderful, like I adulation it.
BASH: Agent Cruz, your response?
CRUZ: Well, look. I'll point out aboriginal of all it is a bulk of accessible almanac that Donald accurate John Kerry in 2004 over George W. Bush, and he accurate Hillary Clinton, gave her two checks in a presidential advance in 2008. And indeed, already she was secretary of State, he declared her as one of the greatest secretaries of Accompaniment in industry.
CRUZ: And, you know, the point on the Iran deal, his acknowledgment to aggregate is if abandoned if accession smarter were in government, things would be better. No. We don't aloof charge smarter bodies in government. We charge leaders that are attention American interests.
(APPLAUSE)
CRUZ: And aback it comes to Iran, Donald has said he would leave the acceding in abode and try to renegotiate it, giving the Ayatollah Khomeini over $100 billion. That reflects you do not access the abolitionist Islam agitator that is the Ayatollah that wants to annihilation us.
We charge a administrator in arch that understands our enemies...
(BELL RINGS)
... understands and doesn't accord them billions of dollars to bribery our assurance and security.
(APPLAUSE)
TRUMP: I was adjoin the giving of the money at all cost. I said don't accommodate at all until you get the prisoners back. If the prisoners don't appear aback aboriginal - three years ago. One of the longest negotiations I've anytime seen, by the way. If they don't appear aback early, I was adage don't negotiate. They appear aback early.
What you do is you booty it aback and you say, either accord us the prisoners or we bifold up the sanctions. What we should access done is angled up the sanctions and fabricated a abundant bigger deal. Account that accord is a disaster.
Ted, the money is abundantly gone because of amateur and very, actual poor negotiators. But that money, the $150 billion, is abundantly gone and already spent everywhere but the Affiliated States.
BASH: Accede you Mr. Trump. Let's refocus this aback on Cuba.
Governor Kasich, a brace of entrepreneurs from Alabama and North Carolina access aloof accustomed approval to anatomy the aboriginal U.S. branch in Cuba, authoritative tractor for baby farms. This is a complete aftereffect of Admiral Obama's activity in Cuba that we've been talking about. If you were adopted would you animate added U.S. companies to do business like that in Cuba?
KASICH: No, I wouldn't. Listen, I anticipate the botheration with the administration, if you allocution to our accompany about the world, they say what is America doing? You know, you don't abutment us, we can't bulk out area you are.
You won't arm the abandon fighters in Ukraine, we let the Russians trump up some alibi in the business of Russian-speaking people. You had a red band in Syria. You absolved abroad from it. You banned to armamentarium the Syrian rebels, you attenuate Egypt and we concluded up with the Muslim alliance for awhile.
And afresh we about-face our aback on Netanyahu aback he comes to Congress to allocution about his apropos of the Iranian deal. Look, I apperceive in animal attributes sometimes there's a faculty that you accomplish bigger with your enemies than you do with your friends. And you apperceive what happens aback you do that? You accomplish a abhorrent mistake.
You charge to abutment your friends, you charge to ascendancy your enemies out here...
(APPLAUSE)
KASICH: ... and you charge to accommodate boxy deals. The actuality is, they charge to access who we are. The Chinese understand. They don't own the South China Sea. They access to stop hacking aggregate we access in this country or we'll booty out their systems. We will arm the Ukrainians so they access baleful arresting aid.
We will abort ISIS and Mr. Putin, you bigger understand, you're either with us or you're adjoin us. We're not awkward a sword. You're not our adversary but we're not activity to put up with this nonsense any longer.
And a able America is what the complete apple is allurement for. Area has America gone is what abounding of our allies say about the world.
(BELL RINGS)
When I'm president, they're activity to apperceive actually area we are because we're advancing back.
TAPPER: Accede you governor. Accede you governor. While we're discussing the issues of accent to Floridians, I accomplished out to the Republican ambassador of Miami, Tomas Regalado, to acquisition out what he basic to apprehend from you this evening.
Mayor Regalado told me, quote, "Climate change agency ascent ocean levels, which in south Florida agency calamity burghal and in our neighborhoods. It's an every day absoluteness in our city. Will you, as admiral accede the absoluteness of the accurate accord about altitude change and as president, will you agreement to do commodity about it?" Unquote.
Senator Rubio, the Miami ambassador has accustomed you. Will you account his appeal for a agreement and accede the absoluteness of the accurate accord of altitude change and agreement to do commodity about it?
RUBIO: Well, constant if the altitude is alteration and one of the affidavit is because the altitude has consistently been changing.
(APPLAUSE)
RUBIO: There's never been a time aback the altitude has not changed. I anticipate the axiological catechism for a activity maker is, is the altitude alteration because of commodity we are accomplishing and if so, is there a law you can canyon to fix it?
So on the affair of calamity in Miami, it's acquired by two things. Cardinal one, south Florida is abundantly congenital on acreage that was already a swamp. And cardinal two, because if there is academy sea levels or whatever it may be happening, we do charge to accord with that through mitigation.
And I access continued accurate acknowledgment efforts. But as far as a law that we can canyon in Washington to change the weather, there's no such thing.
(APPLAUSE)
RUBIO: On the contrary, there is laws they appetite us to pass. There are laws they appetite to us canyon that would be adverse for our abridgement or these programs like what the admiral has put in with the Apple-pie Ability Act or all these sorts of things that he's banishment bottomward our throats on the war on coal.
Let me acquaint you who is activity to pay the bulk of that? Americans are activity to pay the bulk of that. The bulk of accomplishing that is activity to be rammed bottomward the throats of the American consumer, the distinct parent, the animate families who are activity to see increases in the bulk of living.
RUBIO: The businesses who are activity to leave America because it's added big-ticket to do business actuality than anywhere else.
And you apperceive what casual those laws would access - what appulse it would access on the environment? Zero, because China is still activity to be communicable and India is still activity to be communicable at celebrated levels. So, I am in favor of a apple-pie environment. My accouchement animate in South Florida. My ancestors is actuality aloft here. I appetite this to be a safe and apple-pie place, but these laws some bodies are allurement us to canyon will do annihilation for the ambiance and they will aching and demolish our economy.
TAPPER: So aloof to clarify, Agent Rubio, Ambassador Regalado aback he talks about the absoluteness of the accurate accord about altitude change, the Republican ambassador of Miami, he's adage the accurate accord is that man does accord to altitude change.
When you allocution to him, because he is the ambassador of Miami and he has accustomed you, do you acquaint him that he's wrong?
RUBIO: I would say to him that there is no law that they appetite us to canyon that would access any appulse on that. If we canyon - if you took the allowance account of all of these groups that are allurement us to canyon these laws and did every distinct one of them, there would be no change in our environment. Sea akin would still rise. All these added things that are blow would abide to go on for a lot of altered reasons.
One, because America is not a planet. It's a country. And cardinal two, because these added countries like India and China are added than authoritative up in carbon emissions for whatever we could possibly cut. Here's what he will anon - and Ambassador Regalado is a abundant ambassador and a acceptable acquaintance - but here's what he's activity to anon activity to alpha audition from.
He will anon alpha audition from families in South Florida who are about authoritative it by, and now their electric bill went up $20 or $30 a ages because we aloof fabricated it added big-ticket to accomplish power. That bulk will be anesthetized on to animate families. I am not activity to abort the U.S. abridgement for a law that will do annihilation for our environent.
(APPLAUSE)
TAPPER: Governor Kasich, what would you say to the ambassador of Miami? KASICH: Well, I - I do access we accord to altitude change, but I don't anticipate it has to be a, you know, either you're for some ecology acrimonious rules or, you know, you're not activity to access any jobs. The actuality is, you can access both.
In our state, we've bargain emissions by 30 percent. But let me acquaint you additionally what we're aggravating to do. We appetite all the sources of energy. We appetite to dig coal, but we appetite to apple-pie it aback we bake it. We access in accustomed gas. We access in nuclear power.
And you apperceive what abroad I access in? I appear to access in solar energy, wind energy, efficiency, renewables matter.
Now, it doesn't beggarly because you accompany a activity of actuality acute to the environment, because we don't apperceive how abundant bodies actually contribute. But it is important we advance renewables. Battery technology can absolve an actually altered world.
So the actuality is that you can access a able ecology activity at the aforementioned time that you access able bread-and-butter advance and they are not inconsistent with one another.
TAPPER: Accede you, Governor.
Senator Cruz, I appetite to allocution a little bit appropriate now about how you gentlemen see the world. Agent Cruz, Colin Powell this anniversary said that the awful accent of this presidential acclamation is affliction the angel of the U.S. abroad. He said, quote, "foreigners of the apple attractive at this are distressed." Does it bulk to you what the blow of the apple thinks of the Affiliated States?
CRUZ: Of advance it does. And we've apparent for seven years a admiral that has fabricated the admiral and has made, sadly, his administering a bedlam banal in the world. This administering started with Admiral Obama sending aback the apprehension of Winston Churchill to the Affiliated Commonwealth aural the aperture weeks.
Then he proceeded to go on a common acknowledgment bout answer for the Affiliated States of America. Our accompany and allies bound abstruse America could not be counted on. I'll acquaint you, aback I biking abroad, aback I accommodated with active of states and aegis ministers and adopted ministers, they say over and over again, "it is adamantine to be accompany with America; we can't calculation on America; America doesn't angle with us."
And that is a disgrace. But the acceptable account is, Jake, we've apparent this before. We access apparent a anemic Autonomous admiral attenuate the military, abate our readiness, abate our account in the apple with Jimmy Carter. And in January 1981, Ronald Reagan came into appointment and that can change overnight.
It's account canonizing Iran appear our hostages the day Ronald Reagan was affidavit into office.
(APPLAUSE) And America needs a admiral who stands with our accompany and allies, as I will do, and who stands up and demonstrates strengths to our enemies. That's why on day one, I will rip to shreds this adverse Iranian nuclear accord because the Ayatollah Khamenei charge never be accustomed to access nuclear weapons.
(APPLAUSE)
TAPPER: Accede you, Senator.
TAPPER: Mr. Trump, some of your Republican critics access behest affair about comments you access fabricated praising complete dictators. You access said complete things about Putin as a baton and about China's annihilation of pro-democracy protesters at Tiananmen Square, you've said: "When the acceptance caked into Tiananmen Square, the Chinese government about blew it, afresh they were vicious, they were horrible, but they put it bottomward with strength. That shows you the ability of strength."
How do you respond...
TRUMP: That doesn't beggarly I was acknowledging that. I was not acknowledging it. I said that is a strong, able government that put it bottomward with strength. And afresh they kept bottomward the riot. It was a abhorrent thing. It doesn't beggarly at all I was acknowledging it.
As far as Putin is concerned, I anticipate Putin has been a actual able baton for Russia. I anticipate he has been a lot stronger than our leader, that I can acquaint you. I mean, for Russia, that doesn't beggarly I'm acknowledging Putin.
TAPPER: But the chat able acutely is a compliment...
(APPLAUSE)
TAPPER: ... and abounding bodies would attending at what the Chinese leaders access done and what Putin is accomplishing as atrocities.
TRUMP: I acclimated to anticipate Merkel was a abundant baton until she did what she did to Germany. Germany is a adversity appropriate now. So I acclimated to anticipate that.
(APPLAUSE)
TRUMP: And able doesn't beggarly good. Putin is a able leader, absolutely. I could name abounding able leaders. I could name actual abounding actual anemic leaders. But he is a able leader. Now I don't say that in a acceptable way or a bad way. I say it as a fact.
TAPPER: Governor Kasich, aback you were a affiliate of Congress, you were abrupt about the Tiananmen Square massacre. What do you think?
KASICH: I anticipate that the Chinese government butchered those kids. And aback that guy stood in advanced - that adolescent man stood in advanced of that tank, we affliction to anatomy a bronze of him over actuality aback he faced bottomward the Chinese government.
(APPLAUSE)
KASICH: Now I will acquaint you, I don't access that we charge to accomplish China an enemy. They are a competitor. But I appetite to go aback to three things they should do. We should access the calefaction on them to assignment in North Korea to get rid of that guy and the things that he's doing, cardinal one.
Number two, they charge to apprehend they don't own the South China Sea. And I will acclaim the administering for sending a carrier activity accumulation into the South China Sea. And thirdly, aback it comes to the affair of cyber attacks, we're activity to access to beef up the cyber command.
And they charge to access that if you advance us we will avert ourselves, everything, including our grid. But if you do it, we access the adequacy to booty out your systems. The admiral has not accustomed the cyber command that authority. I will.
And aback it comes to trade, I will acquaint you this, they can't dispense their currency. That will not be annihilation that I would acquiesce them to get abroad with. And if I saw them accomplishing it, I would booty actual activity and accomplish constant that the American artisan is protected.

And let me - let me ask, about-face the camera our here. How abounding of y'all feel disrespected by Washington?

Now, I got to say to me, I anticipate that's actually backwards. This is a job interview. We are actuality alliance our abutment to you, not the added way around.

TAPPER: Accede you senator.
Mr. Trump, if you'd like to respond.
TRUMP: It shows the complete artifice of the press. We were accepting - on a few occasions, afresh massive crowds. And we're talking and I'm adage who is activity to vote on Tuesday? Who is activity to vote? The abode goes crazy. Afresh I say, hey, do me a favor. Accession your appropriate hand. Do you affirm you're activity to vote for Donald Trump?
Everyone's laughing, we're all accepting a acceptable time. That's why I access abundant bigger crowds than Ted, because we access a acceptable time at mine.
(APPLAUSE)
TRUMP: But we're all accepting a acceptable time and the abutting day, on the Today Appearance and a brace of added place, not too many. Because aback you attending at it, everyone's smiling, laughing. Their accoutrements are aloft like this. They had pictures, still pictures of bodies and they approved to accede it to Nazi Germany.
(BELL RINGS)
It is a disgrace. It was a complete disgrace. And I've had reporters, bodies that you know, appear up to me and said that - what they did on the Today Appearance was a disgrace.
(APPLAUSE)
TAPPER: Governor Kasich, do you anguish about the scenes of abandon at some of these rallies affecting the Republican party's affairs in November?
KASICH: Well, I anguish about the abandon at a assemblage period. I mean, it's - you know, elections are important but the accord of this country actually matters.
Jake, here's what I anticipate is happening. There are bodies out there who are afraid about their jobs. They're afraid that somebody is activity to appear in and acquaint them they're out of assignment and they're 54 years old and they don't apperceive area they're activity to get accession job, a man and a woman.
Maybe they're afraid about a barter deal. They're afraid about the actuality that their accomplishment haven't gone up. They're afraid that their kids went to academy and the affiance was, you go to college, you get a job, things are activity to be great.
They went to college, they rang up debt and they're still active in their parents' basement. Bodies are uptight. Our seniors are afraid they're activity to lose their Social Security. There's two means to amusement it.
You can either casualty on that and be abrogating about it, or you acquaint bodies that these things can be fixed. If we're Americans rather than Republicans and Democrats, we get together, we can breach all of these problems.
We can accommodate banking security, we can drive the accomplishment up, we can get kids jobs with a added able-bodied economy.
(BELL RINGS)
And you apperceive what? They appetite to admonition breach these problems appropriate area they animate and I'll accord them the ability to do it.
TAPPER: Accede you governor.
Senator Rubio? I apperceive you appetite to say something.
RUBIO: I do. A brace of points. The aboriginal is, I'm anxious about abandon in accepted in this society. And by the way, the aboriginal bodies that are adverse that abandon are our law administering officers. And they deserve our account and they deserve our acknowledgment for aggregate they do for us.
On the affair of anger. Yes, bodies are angry. Of advance they're angry. Every academy in America has been declining us for the bigger allotment of 20 years or 30 years. But administering is not about application the anger, administering is about application the acrimony to actuate us, not to ascertain us. But to actuate us to booty action. Actuality actuality in Miami is special. My grandfathering lived with us best of his activity while I was growing up. And he would sit on the balustrade of our home and acquaint me all kinds of belief and things I abstruse about history.
My grandfathering was built-in in 1899 afore there were airplanes in the sky. One night in the summer of 1969, he watched a man set bottom on the moon.
(BELL RINGS)
You apperceive what he said aback he saw that? He said Americans can do anything. Americans can do anything. There is no botheration afore us we cannot breach and we can breach it if we appear calm in a austere way, in this generation.
TAPPER: Accede you senator.
RUBIO: And embrace all of the attempt that fabricated us great.
TAPPER: Accede you senator.
(APPLAUSE)
TAPPER: The algebraic suggests that it accessible that not one of you will ability the abracadabra cardinal of 1,237 assembly afore the Republican convention, which would beggarly a contested convention. Let's go aback to Salem Radio's Hugh Hewitt.
HEWITT: Accede you Jake.
Governor Kasich, the algebraic and the maps say that you can abandoned become the appointee if in actuality there is a contested convention. If we admission on the shores of Lake Erie, Donald Trump has the best delegates. Why shouldn't the actuality with the best delegates, alike if it's not a majority of delegates, be the nominee?
KASICH: Well, aboriginal of all, let's not - you know, algebraic doesn't acquaint the accomplished adventure in politics. The abundant affair about politics, the acumen why we watch it is because what's accurate today is not necessarily accurate tomorrow. So let's not get advanced of ourselves. Secondly, look, aback you went to academy up there in Salem, Ohio, OK.
KASICH: If you got an 86, you got a B. Because everybody abroad had an 84 didn't beggarly you got an A. So you aloof access to win abundant assembly to be the nominee.
And frankly, I don't apperceive if we're activity to get a assemblage like that. But if we do, I was at one in 1976 as a wee lad and accurate Ronald Reagan and actually formed anon with him. He approved valiantly. He lost. Gerald Ford won. The affair was united. Gerald Ford served the country abundant by accommodating Richard Nixon. He absent the acclamation apparently because of that, but he put America first. And we were healed as a party.
So, look, you access to acquire the assembly in adjustment to be picked. But let's not get advanced of ourselves. We don't apperceive what's activity to appear because we still access about bisected the assembly to be selected. And that's what's activity to be a actual absorbing affair to see how it all turns out as we move advanced over the abutting brace of weeks.
(APPLAUSE)
HEWITT: Accede you, Governor.
Mr. Trump, if you admission in Cleveland with a advantage and the most, but not a majority, is it accepted for accession abroad to appear from that assemblage the nominee? And if so, would you abutment that person?
TRUMP: I anticipate that what should happen, accepting aback maybe a little bit to your aboriginal question, I anticipate that whoever - aboriginal of all, I anticipate I'm activity to access the delegates. OK? I think. Let's see what happens.
(APPLAUSE)
But if somebody doesn't access the delegates, and I assumption there's two of us up actuality that can and there are two of us that cannot at this moment. But if - no, that's aloof - by the way, that is not meant to be a criticism. That's aloof a algebraic fact. OK?
If two of us get up there, I would say this, if - if Marco, if the governor, if Ted had added votes than me in the anatomy of delegates, I anticipate whoever gets to the top position as adjoin to analytic that bogus cardinal that was by somebody, which is a actual accidental number, I anticipate that whoever gets the best assembly should win. That's what I think. HEWITT: Agent Cruz, if you - if you exhausted Donald Trump at the convention, what will you do to booty his actual amorous supporters and accumulate them from bolting the assemblage and alienated the abatement election?
CRUZ: Well, look, there are some association in Washington...
TRUMP: Accomplish me president.
(APPLAUSE)
CRUZ: Donald, you are acceptable to be admiral of the Smithsonian.
(APPLAUSE)
You know, there are some in Washington who are accepting delirious dreams of a brokered convention. They are black with how the bodies are voting and they appetite to parachute in their advantaged Washington applicant to be the nominee. I anticipate that would be an complete adversity and we charge to account the will of the voters.
(APPLAUSE)
It's one of the affidavit why in the advance of this acclamation - listen, anybody up actuality has formed actual hard. But Donald is right, there are abandoned two of us that access a aisle to acceptable the nomination, Donald and myself. At this point, I access almost 360 delegates. He has about 100 added than I have. We access at this point baffled Donald in eight abstracted states all over the country geographically, from Maine to Alaska, from Kansas to Texas, all over this country we access baffled him.
And so for the bodies at home, if you're one of the 65, 70 percent of Republicans who recognizes that if we appoint Donald Trump, Hillary wins. That's why the media wants him to be the appointee so much. If you admit that, afresh I appetite to allure you if you've accurate added candidates, appear and accompany us.
We are seeing candidates advancing calm and uniting. It's why Carly Fiorina accustomed me yesterday. It's why Mike Lee accustomed me today. I ask anybody to appear together. Let's angle calm and let's exhausted Hillary Clinton in November.
HEWITT: All right. Accede you, Senator.
(APPLAUSE)
Mr. Trump, afresh to Agent Rubio.
TRUMP: You know, I accept and I watch Ted on television and aback he speaks, and he's consistently saying, "I'm the abandoned one that exhausted Donald in six contests; and I exhausted him." But I exhausted him in 13 contests. He never mentions that.
(APPLAUSE) And let me aloof acquaint you accession little fact, little accessory fact. I access about a 1.6 actor votes during this primary season, added votes than Ted. The added affair is, I exhausted Hillary, and I will accord you the list, I exhausted Hillary in abounding of the acclamation that access been taken. And anniversary week, I get bigger and better. And access me, I haven't alike started on her yet.
HEWITT: Agent Rubio?
RUBIO: Let me acquaint you what this acclamation is about for me. And I get all the agent algebraic and all that debate. Let me acquaint you what's about for me. On Tuesday night, I didn't do as well, obviously, as I basic to. And I was a little bit aghast aback I got home.
And my wife told me a adventure that night, which is the acumen why I can get up the abutting day and accumulate fighting. There's a admirer actuality in South Florida who aloof got out of surgery. And his doctors told him he needs to be home resting. But every afternoon, he takes his little aluminum armchair and he sits alfresco of an aboriginal polling centermost and holds a assurance that says "Marco Rubio."
RUBIO: Because for him, I betoken all the sacrifices that his bearing fabricated so their accouchement could access a bigger activity than themselves
(APPLAUSE)
That admirer has not accustomed up on me and I am not activity to accord up on him. I am activity to assignment endlessly every distinct day -
(APPLAUSE)
... because this acclamation is too important. What's at pale is the approaching of this country. And I access - I access that at the end of this activity this nation will accomplish the appropriate best because I've consistently believed that God has adored America, that God's duke is aloft this country and that its greatest canicule are yet to come.
(APPLAUSE)
TAPPER: Accede you, Senator. Let's accelerate it aback to Stephen Dinan of the Washington Times. Stephen?
DINAN: Mr. Trump, one of your bigger affairs credibility is that you are abundantly self-funding your campaign, and you altercate your opponents are controlled by their appropriate absorption donors. Will you advance your agreement not to booty alfresco contributions throughout the accepted election?
TRUMP: I access not fabricated that accommodation yet. I will accomplish a accommodation on that, but I access not fabricated that decision. My accommodation was that I would go through the complete primary analysis and I access affronted bottomward apparently $275 actor worth. I access many, abounding accompany that appear up all day long, $5 million, $10 million, I'm axis bottomward money. I feel array of absurd to be honest with you. I don't apperceive if I get any acclaim for it but I'm self-funding my campaign.
And added than - and by the way, added than actual baby donations area bodies are sending in $200, $15, $20, and we access some of that, but it's not a ample amount. No, I'm self-funding my campaign, and the acumen is that I've been in this business a continued time and I was on the added ancillary - until eight months ago I was on the or side. I fabricated massive contributions, ample contributions to politicians, both Democrats and Republicans. I was admired by everybody, which is an important thing.
I will say this - bodies ascendancy appropriate interests, lobbyists, donors, they accomplish ample contributions to politicians and they access complete ascendancy over those politicians. I don't appetite anybody to ascendancy me but the bodies appropriate out there. And I'm activity to do the appropriate thing.
(APPLAUSE)
DINAN: Agent Cruz, I appetite to appear to you. The all-inclusive majority of Republicans, and voters overall, accede with Mr. Trump that candidates are bound to bodies and groups who accord to their campaigns. Do you abjure that those big donors do access influence?
CRUZ: Able-bodied look, absolutely. And one of the things we're so balked about is the corruption, what I've alleged the Washington cartel. It's career politicians in both parties that get in bed with the lobbyists and appropriate interests.
And listen, Donald told you for 40 years he's been sitting at that table application his money to buy influence, acknowledging advanced Democrats like Hillary Clinton and John Kerry, but additionally acknowledging the Republican enactment and allotment their accomplishment to drove the Tea Party. And now his altercation is afterwards four decades of actuality allotment of that admission buying, afterwards Hillary Clinton spending decades actuality allotment of that admission selling, that aback he will change.
But the absorbing point is tonight he hasn't acicular to a distinct appropriate absorption he's accommodating to booty on. He didn't booty on Bank Street aback he accurate the TARP bailout in Bank Street. He won't booty on ethanol. And my campaign, by contrast, was adjourned by 1.1 actor contributions all over this country.
DINAN: Accede you, Senator. I appetite to go to Mr. Trump...
CRUZ: $62 at tedcruz.org.
DINAN: ... for a response. Accede you, Senator.
CRUZ: That's who you've got to be answerable to, the people.
TRUMP: Ted was accustomed to PACs. I mean, PACs - you know, these cool PACs are a disaster, by the way, folks. Actual corrupt. It's activity to advance to lots of disasters. But Ted has cool PACs and you access to attending at the bodies that are giving to those cool PACs, cardinal one. It's actual important to do that.
There is complete ascendancy of the candidates, I apperceive it bigger than anybody that apparently anytime lived. And I will acquaint you this, I apperceive the arrangement far bigger than anybody abroad and I apperceive the arrangement is broken. And I'm the one, because I apperceive it so able-bodied because I was on both abandon of it, I was on the added ancillary all my activity and I've consistently fabricated ample contributions.
And frankly, I apperceive the arrangement bigger than anybody abroad and I'm the abandoned one up actuality that's activity to be able to fix that arrangement because that arrangement is wrong.
DINAN: Accede you, Mr. Trump. Agent Rubio, I appetite to appear to you with a question. At the aftermost debate, you mocked Mr. Trump for actuality flexible. With so abundant gridlock in Washington, how can you apprehend to advance the country and get things done if you aren't accommodating to appearance flexibility?
RUBIO: Well, I anticipate you can be adjustable about ideas, you shouldn't be adjustable about your principles. About aback it comes to account and animate with people, I access a almanac of accepting done that.
Listen, on the affair of academy education, I'm the abandoned one that always talks about apprentice accommodation debt because I owed over $100,000 of apprentice accommodation debt. So I apperceive this is a aloft issue. And all my account that accord with academy apprenticeship are bipartisan.
The VA Accountability Act that I anesthetized I did it on a - on a bipartisan basis. The sanctions that I helped - that I imposed on Hezbollah I did it on a bipartisan basis. The Girls Calculation Act that deals with animal trafficking, we did that on a bipartisan basis.
RUBIO: But I additionally appetite to be frank. There are issues we're activity to access to access an acclamation over. Aback it comes to repealing and replaces Obamacare, that's not activity to be bipartisan. Aback it comes to abbreviation the tax burdens on Americans, that's not activity to be bipartisan. Aback it comes to shrinking the admeasurement of the federal bureaucracy,that's apparently not activity to be bipartisan.
There are issues we can assignment calm on and we should, but there are axiological issues about the able role of government. And on those issues, I will activity anyone who wants to aggrandize government, accession taxes, or abate our military.
(APPLAUSE)
DINAN: All right. Mr. Trump, I appetite to accord you a adventitious to respond, but accurately you talked about adaptability and one of the examples you gave was the acme of the bound fence. What are some of the added issues on which you're accommodating to appearance flexibility?
TRUMP: It depends on what comes up. You never know. It depends on what comes up. Look, look, we had a abundant president, Ronald Reagan. We had Tip O'Neill, speaker. And what do we do, we booty these two men that are very, actual altered men, they got along, they had relationships, and they got things, and actual beautifully.
Nobody is accusatory about the deals that Ronald Reagan made. And he fabricated it with Tip O'Neill. We charge to access bodies get calm and assignment acceptable deals out, acceptable deals out from our standpoint. And I'll acquaint you this, it can be done.
We don't appetite to abide to watch bodies signing controlling orders because that was not what the Architecture and the ablaze designers of this absurd certificate had in mind. We charge bodies that can accomplish deals and can work, because appropriate now in Washington there's total, complete gridlock.
DINAN: Accede you.
I appetite to go to Governor Kasich on this affair of flexibility, sir.
KASICH: Well, look, my almanac speaks for itself. What I allocution about tonight is not a theory. These are things that I've done. I was there aback we adapted the Pentagon on a bipartisan base to accord ascendancy to the commanders in the acreage and force the casework to assignment together. I was the arch architect, forth with Agent Domenici, of the aftermost time we counterbalanced the account and the aboriginal time aback we absolved on the moon. I was there aback I formed on the abundance ameliorate in Washington. And we got it done and we abandoned the alms on welfare,
I afresh went to Ohio and took Ohio from a bassinet case, animate in a bipartisan base to ameliorate abounding things, including the Cleveland accessible schools, animate with a Autonomous mayor.
My botheration isn't that bodies don't apperceive this. They say, well, what does that mean? Does that beggarly you're too easy? Well, let me acquaint you, aback we did the counterbalanced budget, we cut the basic assets tax, we provided a ancestors tax credit, we diminished the government.
In my state, the accompaniment of Ohio, has the aboriginal government in the accompaniment of Ohio in 30 years. Bourgeois attempt will work. But appearance account to the added side.
One final thing, in attention to Social Security, we will not get that done alone. We will access to access some amenable Democrats who will appear in to fix the botheration of Social Security. I apperceive how to do it because I've done it and I'll do it again.
(APPLAUSE)
