In addition to links to full transcripts, I'd be interested in a translation.

Shortly after Hillary said this:

...we finally need to pass a prohibition on anyone who's on the terrorist watch list from being able to buy a gun in our country. If you're too dangerous to fly, you are too dangerous to buy a gun. So there are things we can do, and we ought to do it in a bipartisan way.

Trump said this:

First of all, I agree, and a lot of people even within my own party want to give certain rights to people on watch lists and no- fly lists. I agree with you. When a person is on a watch list or a no-fly list, and I have the endorsement of the NRA, which I'm very proud of. These are very, very good people, and they're protecting the Second Amendment.

But I think we have to look very strongly at no-fly lists and watch lists. And when people are on there, even if they shouldn't be on there, we'll help them, we'll help them legally, we'll help them get off. But I tend to agree with that quite strongly.

Can anyone tell me what he's agreeing with quite strongly?

I think it was easier to understand in context.

What I thought he was saying (unclearly) was that terrorists should be prevented from buying guns. I.e., if you’re too dangerous to be allowed on an airplane, then you’re too dangerous to be allowed to buy a gun.

What I think he SHOULD have said was that if you’re on a no-fly list, you should not be allowed in the country. If you’re a foreigner on the no-fly list, you should be deported immediately. Why is that not done? No foreigner has a “right” to be here.
