Conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt found something Donald Trump doesnt win at on Thursday knowing his terrorists.
Im 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, Ill tell you honestly, I think by the time we get to office, theyll all be changed. Theyll be all gone, he said. I knew you were going to ask me things like this, and theres no reason, because number one, Ill 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, Im not meeting these people. Im not seeing these people, Trump said.
"Now as far as what youre talking about now, I will know every detail, and I will have the right plan, not a plan like this where were probably going backwards based on everything that Im hearing, but were probably going backwards, zero respect. We have, we are not a respected country, and certainly as it relates to ISIS and whats going on, and Iran."

Hewitt is all about “Yeb!”. He doesn’t dig Trump. He was on CSpan not too long ago, about the time Trump was just catching fire. He did a snicker job on Donald.
So much butt hurt in this world.
Hugh asking a pointed question hardly makes him the enemy.
Trumps response was fair but distant.
There are peoples lives on the line Mr CEO
Trump knew those questions were coming, he told Hewitt he knew they were going to be asked.
Skyhook-Jabbar el Al Amin or Al Shabbazz el Hooko Worms in Eyes...why does anyone care?
Why not kill them all?
Remember Trump said he is learning how to be a politician.....imagine that.....and he'll be learning how to be a President if he wins. Kind of like asking a new rookie to play in the major leagues. If he's stumbling like this now......imagine how he'll handle International Affairs?????
Zawahiri is still alive and he hand picked Bin Laden to be a figurehead.
hugh may like jeb, but he’s more of a romney guy. I wouldn’t be surprised if he is behind the push to enlist romney for 2016.
Instead, the fawning media asks her what flavor ice cream she likes.
I don't know what flavor ice cream Donald Trump likes because nobody ever asked him.
Hewitt is a pompous know-it-all. He may be conservative, but he is just another media hack who delights in displaying his superior knowledge to embarrass people he is interviewing.
Can’t imagine a real-estate mogul not knowing all the terrorist’s names... /s
What would be the point of asking this kind of question?
If he knew them, would it make him more presidential? If he didn’t know them would it make him less presidential?
This was just a dumb question to ask, sort of like a complete waste of time.
This sort of thing can be studied prior to the inauguration. Then you get briefings to keep you up to speed.
Hewitt is such a twit at times. Can’t really listen to the guy much, as he begins to drive me batty listening to his idiotic reasoning.
Hugh Hewitt wouldn’t know those names without a cheat sheet.
I haven’t listened to Hewitt in years. He’s a worthless GOP elitist. A loser with a national audience that is smaller than a local overnight show. If people have his show on the radio it is because they are waiting for local traffic and weather.
As opposed to what--the morons in charge now?
He could hardly do worse. Given his executive abilities, he will do far better.
Probably, but Romney was not running when he was so ingratiating to Jeb, on Cspan. Maybe so about pulling Mit back in.
Romney won’t wanna run against Trump. We are in no mood for Mitt again.
Sounds like trumps recipe minus the bluster and threats.
Seriously
“You do not know who Ayman al Zawahari is?”
I don’t live and breathe names of middle eastern types. One dies, another moves up a notch. BFD. I live on the Texas border and immigration and the lack of wall is what keeps me up at night. And the wall would spare me having to memorize all the terrorist’s names because they can’t just slip in.
It’s not even the second debate yet and Trumps lines of “I’m great and will be the best” aren’t going to hold water if he can’t handle questions without just saying he’s this or that.
The longer and more he talks, and I do listen...the less he’s actually saying...though he’s fascinating to watch and entertaining...I have strong reservations he could do the job of a President....there’s just sooooo much he doesn’t know about.....as said...like putting a brand new rookie, even if you could call him that, into the big leagues where he will be dealing with seasoned statesmen.......That won’t be asking for buildings or golf club land either.
Hewitt dislikes the idea that Trump is thumping his faves, St Kasich, and Jebberino. It sounded like the 2000 question Bush 43 was asked about Pakistan after the Musharraf coup
Zwahairi is the Big Kahuna that Started Al Queda and The Muslim Brotherhood.
Hewitt is establishment GOPe, not a Constitutionalist. He and Medved are party loyalists. Hewitt likew the rent seeking EX IM Bank, he’s too nice to Yeb. Don’t trust him.
