Fox News 2015 GOP primary debate: on Technology


Carly Fiorina: Google should cooperate with FBI to fight cyberterrorism

Q: The FBI Director says terrorists recruit behind the cyber walls that are built by American companies like Google and Apple. Rand Paul says that the government forcing these companies to bring down those walls would be a big privacy issue. Which side are you on?

FIORINA: I certainly support that we need to tear down cyber walls, not on a mass basis, but on a targeted basis. I do not believe that we need to wholesale destroy every American citizen's privacy in order to go after those that we know are suspect or are already a problem. But yes, there is more collaboration required between private sector companies and the public sector. And specifically, we know that we could have detected and repelled some of these cyber attacks if that collaboration had been permitted.

Q: So, would you call for Google and Apple to cooperate in these Investigations and let the FBI in?

FIORINA: I absolutely would call on them to collaborate and cooperate, yes.

Carly Fiorina: China and Russia are using technology to attack us

Let me just say that we need to tear down the cyber walls that China is erecting, that Russia is erecting. We need to be very well aware of the fact that China and Russia are using technology to attack us, just as ISIS is using technology to recruit those who would murder American citizens.

Lindsey Graham: If I have to monitor a mosque, I'll monitor a mosque

Do we all agree that ISIL is not the JV team? If I have to monitor a mosque, I'll monitor a mosque. If I have to take down a cyber wall, I'll take it. If I have to send more American troops to protect us here, I will do it. Hillary will not. She has empowered a failed agenda. She is going to empower a failed solution to an American economy dying to grow.

Marco Rubio: Amazon, our largest retailer, doesn't own a single store

This country is facing an economy that has been radically transformed. You know, the largest retailer in the country and the world today, Amazon, doesn't even own a single store? And these changes have been disruptive. They have changed people's lives. The jobs that once sustained our middle class, they either don't pay enough or they are gone, and we need someone that understands that as our nominee. If I'm our nominee, we will be the party of the future.

Ted Cruz: Of course China & Russia have conducted cyberwarfare on US

Q: In your view, have Russia and China committed cyber war, and if you were president, what would you do about it?

CRUZ: Well, of course they have, and over the last six and a half years we've seen the consequences of the Obama-Clinton foreign policy. Leading from behind is a disaster. We have abandoned and alienated our friends and allies, and our enemies are stronger. Radical Islam is on the rise; Iran's on the verge of acquiring a nuclear weapon; China is waging cyber warfare against America. General Soleimani, the Iranian general is the head of the al Quds forces and directly responsible for the murder of over 500 American servicemen in Iraq--part of this Iranian deal was lifting the international sanctions on General Soleimani. The day General Soleimani flew back from Moscow to Iran was the day we believed that Russia used cyber warfare against the Joint Chiefs. We need a new commander in chief that will stand up to our enemies, and that will have credibility.
