china has five ports. i have been to 30 countries, and i see the damage china has done in the economy. in the philippines, then a 60% of their products. on thee creating wealth world. they're getting away with it. >> you are going to south carolina after this? >> yes i will. we will be here until the celebration tuesday evening commitment where going home for a couple days, and going right to south carolina. me and another guy from missouri, we're going to go there. >> thank you. we have a student from northeastern university. what has this experience been like for you? >> it is interesting. i have learned a lot. the difference between age of the candidates, and the way they hold their offense has stood out between the candidates, and the way they hold their events has stood out a lot. a lot of them will take input from the audience, and here it was just him talking about his views, and what he thinks he will do. he talked a lot about what could happen. ofon't know, we heard a lot things, but it was intere

china is new to this. china is new to prore projection. i question their ability to conduct these functions effectively and fighting the conflict beyond their shores. you can have the largeest military in the world but if you can't feed or supply them after three days they become worthless. can you comment on china's ability to effectively project war fathing power bei don't understand its shores but specially with regard to affect logistics, supply, to china? i don't think we've put a lot of thought into that. >> thanks for the quefment first of all, i agree with you that our logistics capability is our competitive advantage. i also agree the chinese capability is relatively immature. however, if we're talking about within the pacific, they do have one advantage. which is interior lines. in other words, from a geographicle perspective, if we talk about a conflict in the south china sea, if we talk about a conflict in the east china see in taiwan and those areas, those logistics challenge significantly less than the challenge we would have

i love china. i love many of these countries that rip us off because we have leaders that are incompetent and don't know what they are doing. i love these countries, they are great. i have thousands of spent. -- thousands of hispanics. i lead with the hispanics in every poll. they love me, i love them. [applause] the problem is that the leaders of these countries, whether it's mexico or japan or the amount, which is doing a big number now -- or vietnam, which is doing a big number now. or china, the greatest abuser country that i have ever seen financially. but what they have done to us is the single greatest theft in the history of the world. they have taken our jobs, money, everything. we are bringing our jobs back, folks. we are going to bring them back. and i know how to do it. we've had so many incredible endorsements. to me, getting the greatest business people to endorse me is important. summary others have endorsed me. we are going to put these great business people in charge of trade. when

china is building a military fortress in the south china sea. i don't think they are worried about the snails and the fish in the snakes. you know what they do, they say to say morning we want to go there and they start four hours later. with us it would take 45 years of environmental impact studies. obama is always talking about the carbon footprint. one, theakes air force and he plays golf. so we will get our jobs back. we will take care of our military. jobill do such incredible we will take care of our vets. metal [captioning performed by the national captioning institute, they are treated better than our vets and we will not let that happen anymore. we will make unbelievable trade deals and we will become a rich nation. a woman came up to me recently and mr. trump, i do not like one thing you say. president, but don't say we are going to become a rich nation again. it doesn't sound good. isaiah sounds great. we cannot become great if we are losing $500 million a year to china and hundreds and hundreds of millions of dollars to every other c

same thing with china. china -- it is true. china sends everything in here. we are stupid. we have stupid leaders. we have stupid people running things. china sends billions and billions of product into our country. no tax. you try sending something into china. you can't do it, folks. they call it a tariff. i have a friend, a very rich guy -- there goes the rent. one more time, no rent. one more time, george if you pay the rent, you are fired. [applause] mr. trump: one more time with this microphone and you are fired, george. so, i have a friend who is a rich guy. this is an expensive item. he bought an airplane from a man in china who bought the airplane over here and he cannot get it back to china because the tax is so massive, almost as much as the price of the airplane. he was better off selling the plane, so he sold the plane to my friend at a huge discount because he did not want to pay a tremendous tariff or tax to get the plane back into china. people don't know those stories. people don't know those stories. and those stories are all over the place. all over the pl

china is building a military fortress in the south china sea. they did not go through the environmental impact process. do we agree? i don't think they are worried about the snails and the fish and the snakes. they built. they say, on tuesday morning, we want to build, and they start two hours later. for us, it would take 45 years of environmental impact studies. this country. obama, he's always talking about "the carbon footprint." conference, he talks about "the carbon footprint," and then he takes air force one, an old 747 with engines that are spewing it, and he flies to hawaii and plays golf. this guy plays more golf than the people on the pga tour, i'm telling you. more. we are going to get our jobs back, folks. we are going to take care of our military. we are going to do such an incredible job. we are going to take care of our vets. our vets are treated so badly. the illegal immigrants, in many cases, and i'm serious about this, are treated better than our veterans and we get more than our veterans and we will not let that happen anymore

south china sea. russia has demonstrated its military capabilities to project itself as a global power, command respect for the west, in -- and advance russian interests globally. moscow's objectives in ukraine will probably remain unchanged, including maintaining long-term influence and frustrating its attempt to integrate into western institutions. putin is the first leader since stalin to expand its territory. moscow's military venture into syria marks its first use since the foray into afghanistan of significant expeditionary combat power outside the post-soviet space. there interventions difference -- demonstrate improvements in russian capabilities and the kremlin's confidence in using them. moscow faces the reality of economic recession driven in large part by falling oil prices as well as sanctions. gdpia's nearly 4% contraction last year will probably extend into 2016. in the middle east and south asia there are more cross-border military operations underway in the middle east at any time sin

-china cyberrelations. right before that deal was struck, there were many reports, and the white house was pretty open about this, that they were planning to sanction china, sanction companies and forviduals within china these type of cyberattacks. they've since come back and declined to do that. but most people imagine that they will eventually wield these will come fromt an infringement of this deal. i think it's going to be very watch as these countries meet every six months to kind of flesh out this deal, was very vague when it was initially announced. and how are we going to measure you're adhering to it? what are we going to do if you run afoul of this agreement? that's something we're going to see perhaps in the next three to six months, movement in that. could kind of speak to the entire future of u.s.-china cyberrelations, which many see as normalizing right now. but it has the potential to change course very quickly, of course. >> kate tummarello, i'm going to in my phrasing, i guess. tech-savvy a

will the united states ask asian countries to play a role in the south china sea? statesle is the united expecting them to play? mr. schultz: ambassador rice addressed this earlier and we will have more to say in the next 36 hours. i will not get ahead of the president. our message on this is not particularly different than it has been over the past weeks and months. we support freedom of navigation in that we are going to stand by our partners in the region and make sure that international norms are respected. all right. one more. a follow-up question. is why obama decided to hold the summit not at the white house? mr. schultz: the president has used summer land as a relaxed venue where his counterparts from around the world can have a more informal discussion. in washington, there is a little more stiffness. the president wanted to afford world leaders more of an opportunity to have a candid, relaxed discussion. >> when you said that the is standing with advisers on this supreme court issue, is he going over specific list? where is he in the process? again, we ar

china appeared how will you restore global competitiveness? mr. bush: he does not talk about competitiveness. he talks about unfairness, i guess. competitiveness is a better question. we compete by having regulations that are not destroying our ability to invest in our country. we are 49th in the world in terms of ease of doing business. there are more businesses, 99% are small, more businesses are closing than being formed. it is not because someone sucked out the entrepreneurial dna, but because we have stifled it with massive rules. to be competitive, we need to have reforms of our regulatory system. could we build the interstate highway system in the united states today? it would be impossible. we cannot build the pentagon. the pentagon was built in less than two years, with 6 million square feet under roof, in a swamp in 1941. it would take 15 years to get a permit to start construction. we cannot launch a man to the moon. we cannot lead the world if we were starting where we are today. regulations. our tax code is creating this bizarre r

>> china is obviously a critical ander at the united nations it, too, has choices to make. we have had ongoing discussions with chinese in new york. president obama has spoken to xi.ident i think these discussions are progressing but i think it unlikely that china wants to be seen by the international ofmunity as the protector north korea given its recent outrageous behavior in violation international law and u.n. security council resolutions so given that, i expect that they will indeed come on board with significant new sanctions and we're working towards that end. retaliation against japanese thatnment, they announced reaction?at's your >> we have been supportive of japan and its efforts to pursue abductions andhe we hope that japan's interests in this will continue to be fulfilled. you. president is hosting terrible human rights records and human rights humanzations including rights watch says it sends a signal that the united states legitimizes these leaders to their people and in pivot to asia is about pivot to governments rather than to people and civil society. you

i said china, 13,000 miles. the great wall of china, wall the china, right? it was built 2,000 years ago. no, we cannot build a wall with caterpillar tracks everywhere. that was 13,000. we need 1000. and i want to make it higher han the wall in china, so we can say -- it will not be as wide, but it will be higher. that i can say. let me just explain something. we are going to have such great security that we are going to be the model for the world. we will be a model for the rest of the world. we have gone from being a laughingstock -- we will go to the exact opposite. one of the things you see -- and i say all the time. we do not win any more. we do not beat isis. we will knock the hell out of hem. we are going to have great health care. we don't win with education. i was going to say on education -- to be ranked 30 and to spend that kind of money is so sad. we will balance our budget relatively quickly -- not too quickly, but some of the politicians we think we can balance over a 25 year period. do you believe that? over a 25-year period. there was a man in

guest: aside from russia -- host: aside from russia and china, who is the next biggest threat? guest: threat wise, those are the existential threats, several u.s. allies have nuclear weapons. north korea is the big wildcard in all of this. exactly what capabilities they have is unclear, at least to the public. they have demonstrated in the last couple of months a willingness to show that they have these weapons and of a have some capabilities. it is unclear if they could really strike the u.s. or not, but a good certainly strike u.s. allies in the region. in thoses iran change it -- in that list because of the agreements that have been made? guest: according to the agreement, they will not have nuclear weapons, that was the whole impetus was to eliminate them as a nuclear armed state. host: john from new jersey, caller: thank you very much. since the vast majority of people in this world in this piece, isn't it time for our leaders to take the lead and get all the other leaders of the world to sit down in a common sense conference and stop this altogether, to stop this prolifer

we rebuilt china. i like china, it's wonderful. i'm not angry at china, i'm angry at our representatives, our people, our people for doing such bad deals. not just obama, this is just -- not just now. obama has been horrible and others have been also. i'm not upset with china. i have one of the biggest banks in the world of a tenant in one of my buildings in manhattan. i sell millions and millions of dollars worth of condominiums to the chinese. i cannot be angry at them. same with mexico. i have great relations with mexico. but early in all countries every , country is killing us. we have people that are political hacks that are negotiating trade deals that know nothing about it. they have the smartest, sharpest people that they pick out when the are practically three years old. you understand that. they go up this. -- pyramid chain, and they pick them early. we cannot deal with it. we have the greatest business people in the world and we do not use them. many business people endorse me, the great ones. we are going to use our gre

i said to a friend of mine from china because do i a lot of business with china. they're fine to do business with china. if you know what you're doing, you can make a lot of money. they have my apartments. biggest bank in the world. 400 million customers. that's more than the people we have in this country. biggest bank in the world. i said to my friend jokingly, i said when you started eska vagus and building that tremendous island did you get environmental impact statement. he said no. they came up with the idea on friday at 4 o'clock and they started excavation on saturday morning. true, he said that. he said they came up with it and they started excavation -- we're dealing in a different world folks. i love the last debate. some people said he was too tough. that's better than some of the others who are too weak. drudge who is amazing, i won every single poll for the debate. right? but some people said i was too tough. i had seven people coming from every side. am i supposed to be nice? they say hillary clinton said i don't like donald trump's tone. i don't li

trump: i would start with china. china has absolute power. the stuff comes through china. i would have done iran. but they are a hostile nation, i don't think you can get anywhere with them. they bought 118 airbus lines. the money goes to europe. they bought a lot of things in italy, all over europe. they bought missiles. which i do not know they had the right to buy. they bought missiles from russia. they gave us nothing. we gave them $150 billion. they spent a lot of it. nothing goes to the u.s. i would have been very strong in the negotiation. i would now be very strong with china. again, we have a lot of power over china. china takes out so much money. i said before, $500 billion trade deficit with china. you can't do that. how long are you going to have a country when you do that? i hate to tell you, you need somebody like me. [laughter] [applause] the politicians don't even know what it means. they talk about free trade. eye and a free trade -- i am a free trader. like kerry, they are going to make air-conditioners, sold them for nothing. they are going to lose 1400

china's new to this. china is new to power projection. i question their ability to conduct these functions effectively and fighting the conflict beyond their shores. you can have the largest military in the world, but if you can't feed their supply after three days, they become worthless. can you comment on china's ability to effectively project war fighting power beyond its shores but especially with regard to their ability to conduct effective logistics, supply, maintenance, operations, external to china? i don't think we put a lot of thought into that. general dunford: congressman, thanks for the question. first of all, i agree with you our logistic capability is one of our competitive advantages. i also agree from a power projection perspective the chinese capability is relatively immature. however, if we're talking about within the pacific, they do have one advantage which is sbeernl lines. from a geographically perspective, if we talk about a conflict in the south china sea, in taiwan, those logistic challenges is significantly less

i love china. i love many of these countries that rip us off because we have leaders that are incompetent and don't know what they are doing. i love these countries, they are great. i have thousands of spent. -- thousands of hispanics. i lead with the hispanics in every poll. they love me, i love them. [applause] the problem is that the leaders of these countries, whether it's mexico or japan or the amount, which is doing a big number now -- or vietnam, which is doing a big number now. or china, the greatest abuser country that i have ever seen financially. but what they have done to us is the single greatest theft in the history of the world. they have taken our jobs, money, everything. we are bringing our jobs back, folks. we are going to bring them back. and i know how to do it. we've had so many incredible endorsements. to me, getting the greatest business people to endorse me is important. summary others have endorsed me. we are going to put these great business people in charge of trade. when

regional tension will continue as china pursues instruction of its outpost in the south china sea. russia has demonstrated its military capabilities to project ,tself as a global power command respect for the west, in advance russian interests globally. in ukrainejectives will probably remain unchanged, and tuning -- including maintaining long-term influence and frustrating its attempt to integrate into western institutions. pigeon is the first leader -- why we're beaten is the first leader since stalin to expand its territory. vladimir putin is the first leader since stalin to expand its territory. faces the reality, however, of economic recession, driven in large part by falling oil prices as well as sanctions. nearly 4% gdp contraction last year will probably extended to 2016. in the mideast and south asia, there are more cross-border military operations in the mideast region than in any time since the 1973 arab war. forces -- andd isil forces will probably make incremental gains. is now somewhat on the defensive, and its manpower shrinking, but it remains a credible threat. in

i get along with china and let china solve that problem. they can do it quickly and surgically. that is what we should do with north korea. [tone] martha: senator rubio? broadero: there is a play as well and i think it touched on what donald just mentioned. barack obama sees america as global power. this is a man who views this problemsho creates around the world. for example, this is one of the reasons why he betrayed israel, because he believed we created separation from israel and it will create problems in the islamic world. the same with the asian region. north korea should be back on that list of terrorist nations, as an example. and donald is absolutely right, china should have control over north korea and we should be leveraging our control with china so that we can make sure that north korea would not have access to any of those resources to develop long-range missiles are already capable of reaching the west coast of the united states potentially. [tone] martha: thank you, senator rubio. bush, north korea is currently detaining an american college student. what would y
