Trump: I Agree with Court; Apple Should Help FBI Hack S.B. Terrorists’ iPhone

‘We have to use common sense ... somebody called me common sense conservative’

KILMEADE: “If you become the nominee and become president you’re going to have to deal with what’s going on in the world today. And that’s San Bernardino, it’s staggering to find out the FBI still cannot open that terrorist’s phone because Apple made something that was —“
DOOCY: “Encryption.”
KILMEADE: “— has encryption and we can’t open it. Apple has been ordered by the courts to do so — they’re fighting back saying, we cannot. What would President Donald Trump do about this?”
TRUMP: “I agree 100 percent with the courts, we should — in that case we should open it up. I think — security over all, we have to open it up and we have to use our heads. We have to use common sense. Somebody the other day called me a common sense conservative. We have to use common sense. Our country is — it’s got so many problems. Can you imagine that here are the people that killed 14 people, other people laying desperately ill and in the hospital from what they did. These are two people radicalized, who were given a wedding party by the people that they killed. There’s something going on. We have to be very careful, we have to be vigilant. But to think that Apple won’t allow us to get into her cell phone, who do they think they are? No, we have to open it up.”
KILMEADE: “Well, they said — you know Apple says that if they had to work around to let the government in, that would be good for hackers on everybody’s phones.”
TRUMP: “Apple — this is one case and this is a case that certainly we should be able to get into the phone. And we should find out what happened, why it happened and maybe there’s other people involved and we have to do that.”
DOOCY: “All right. Donald Trump on the stump down in South Carolina. Thank you very much for joining us and good luck on Saturday.”
TRUMP: “Thank you very much.”
DOOCY: “All right.” [crosstalk]
