Conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt found something Donald Trump doesn’t win at on Thursday — knowing his terrorists.
“I’m looking for the next commander-in-chief, to know who Hassan Nasrallah is, and Zawahiri, and al-Julani, and al-Baghdadi. Do you know the players without a scorecard, yet, Donald Trump?” Hewitt asked the 2016 Republican candidate, referring to the respective leaders of Hezbollah, al Qaeda, Jabhat al-Nusra, and the Islamic State.
“No," Trump said.
"You know, I’ll tell you honestly, I think by the time we get to office, they’ll all be changed. They’ll be all gone,” he said. “I knew you were going to ask me things like this, and there’s no reason, because number one, I’ll find, I will hopefully find General Douglas MacArthur in the pack.”
Trump said asking him who the key players were was a type of “gotcha question.”
“I will be so good at the military, your head will spin. But obviously, I’m not meeting these people. I’m not seeing these people,” Trump said.
"Now as far as what you’re talking about now, I will know every detail, and I will have the right plan, not a plan like this where we’re probably going backwards based on everything that I’m hearing, but we’re probably going backwards, zero respect. We have, we are not a respected country, and certainly as it relates to ISIS and what’s going on, and Iran."

Absolutely. Hewitt is no “conservative”. He’s GOP and it shows every time he opens his mouth. Guys like him have set conservatism back a lot.
Exactly! I don't give a flying pigs tail the names of any of these killers! I don't care if Trump or whoever I support for President knows names! The most horrific deal with the biggest known terrorist Nation ,IRAN! Trump knows that stinks to high heaven! Obama and Kerry got their paw prints all over that and praise it, as the best we've got! err!
Hugh Hewitt must feel so smug right now. Who cares what the names of the terrorists are. I would ask the military to kill all terrorists and not look at their name tag!
I never compare with the idiots of this administration to Trump or any other candidate....any one of the candidates could do far better with far better results then the traitors there now. So it’s not even wise to compare Trump to Obama or this administration....the bar is so low that it really is insulting Trump to do so.
Compare Trump to the other candidates who are running if anything at all....or up against Hillary, Sanders and Biden....because they are who he will run against.
Hugh is a well documented RNC snob.
and Bushbot !
Hugh is on record spitting out the Prebius kiss ass .
Hugh is the classic Gope elite.
Why ask ridiculous questions about terririst names.
So cut the crap Walker troll
Depends on how serious he is about it and who he surrounds himself with.
Purge the Obamabots on Day one! No capitulation!
Trumps problem is he tends to be like Obie.
He talks with two tongues and is brutal
I’m just not willing to follow into battle yet. Cruz or lose
Being a Decent Leader....aint the same as being a Mover and Shaker
George Soros is a mover and a shaker.
George may be THE least qualified HUMAN on earth to be a Leader.
The Donnie is Faking it.
Fake it til you make it....might be appropriate in parts of the bidness world...but it isnt going to work for this particular “job”
Good managers down get into the little details; they hire people to do that.
Trump didn’t fumble, he passed with flying honesty and straightforwardness colors.
I don’t understand why Hewitt gets the quasi - respect he does.
Ahh another election cycle...
I smell the butt hurt.
...”Hewitt is no “conservative”. He’s GOP and it shows every time he opens his mouth”....
HE certainly caters to them.....which I believe he simply enjoys creating conflict like most liberals do.
Once again a debate moderator has made it known he’s a part of the next debate story....so the next debate also will be trashed .
Equally important, Trump did not respond like a politician and give a BS answer in a transparent effort to know more than he does on the topic. Honesty in politics is refreshing.
Amongst Dems, Hillary and Biden are jokes, and Sanders has no foreign policy experience.
The GOP field is pretty even—little or no foreign policy experience—among all of them.
Seems to me Trump will do no worse than any of them. He has negotiated with international figures and firms, so he has that going for him.
George may be THE least qualified HUMAN on earth to be a Leader.
That is what Zawahiri did with Bin Laden
Ayman could not lead people so he needed a charismatic like Binny Boy
Binny is dead, Ayman has been forgotten and is still pulling the shots
Should have at least known Zawahiri and al-Baghdadi. In Islamoterrorism, it’s like not knowing who Al Capone and Clyde Barrow are.
Why would anyone expect a president to memorize names of terrorists? That’s ridiculous.
Where does it stop?
Abu Muhammad, Abu Fatima, Muhammad Ibrahim, Abu Abdallah, Abu al-Mu’iz, The Doctor, The Teacher, Nur, Ustaz, Abu Mohammed, Abu Mohammed Nur al-Deen, Abdel Muaz, Dr. Ayman al Zawahiri
ALL aliases of Al-Zawahiri,,are the POTUS candidates supposed to have those memorized as well?
I think it’s Great that Trump didn’t play into the celebrity terrorist mindset. They’re all terrorists,,that’s all we need to know.
Hugh is pure Ori Prebius Rhino pro amnesty elite .
Cruz and Trump will be set up all night with non stop
gotcha crap .
The experts in CIA got Iraq nukes wrong, Afghanistan hideouts and who to back. State got Benghazi wrong and they were on the ground.
But Trump without Intel briefings is required to get it right?
