As a side note, one of the things I like about Hugh's interview style is his constant use of the other person's name. Nothing is worse than tuning into an interview not having a clue who the host is talking to. Hugh is aware that there are new people tuning in all the time. Interviewers, take note.
Bumping this thread in light of last night’s debate, and adding an excerpt of the actual triad questions from Hewitt’s August 3rd interview with Trump.
Hugh Hewitt: Now let me ask you about the American nuclear triad.. Is it necessary anymore, Donald Trump, is it affordable?
Donald Trump: I think one of the most important things that we have to worry about is nuclear generally speaking. The power of nuclear, the power of the weapons that we have today and that is by the way — the deal with Iran — the concept of it is so important that you have to make a good deal and what they should have done is that they should have doubled up and tripled up the sanctions and negotiate from strength instead of the pathetic negotiators that we had so anything that we had to do with nuclear to me the power of the weapons — the problem is that it is not how many soldiers you have, the power of weaponry today is is utmost important.
Hugh Hewitt: Do we need all the three kind of nuclear weapons that we have though?
Donald Trump: I think we should have absolutely have — you know we are going to have to build ourselves back up because — I don’t know if you saw that 60 Minute piece about a year ago where our nuclear weapons are so absolute and so outdated, the phones didn’t work, the wires were rotted and frankly to allow that to actually go on television where they are giving tours of places of silos and they are rusting and rotting and I’m Putin and I looking at that I’m saying I’m saying, “Wow these guys don’t have the power we thought they had.”
Hugh Hewitt: But do you think we can afford to to just update one of the three legs nor do we need all three of them like the Cold War?
Donald Trump: I think we need massive protection and unfortunately you know the nuclear is the protection It’s not just the question of having a million soldiers nowadays. You need the protection because North Korea has it, the deal based on everything that I’ve seen as you know Iran is gong to have it, Pakistan has it, India has it. Hopefully, India is on our side a little more than most but people are getting it and Russia has it big league and China has it, but you know, Putin said about a month ago and I was shocked to hear it — first time I’ve ever heard it from that kind of a power. Essentially he said don’t mess with us, we have nuclear weapons. Do you remember that?
