Donald Trump was asked about whether or not he knew who some of main Islamic terrorist group leaders are and answered, “I don’t know them.”

Trump appearing on theHugh Hewitt Show Thursday, criticized Hewitt for asking a “gotcha question” about whether he knew who “Hassan Nasrallah, Zawahiri, al-Julani, and al-Baghdadi” were. The mogul said of the questioning, “You know, those are like history questions. ‘Do you know this one, do you know that one.’”

In typical Trump bravado, he insisted that, “But as far as the individual players, of course I don’t know them. I’ve never met them. I haven’t been, you know, in a position to meet them. If, if they’re still there, which is unlikely in many cases, but if they’re still there, I will know them better than I know you.”

Trump later argued, “that will be a whole new group of people. I think what is really important is to pick out, and this is something I’m so good at, to pick out who is going to be the best person to represent us militarily, because we have some great people, militarily.”

Trump did lay out his plans for handling Islamic terrorism. “I’m a delegator. I find great people. I find absolutely great people, and I’ll find them in our armed services, and I find absolutely great people.”

Later in the show, Carly Fiorina was asked the same set of questions and responded to them with more knowledge of the subject.

Fiorina, when asked about admitted, “Well, I have to be very honest with you and say that sometimes I can get confused a bit between the name and group because they sound a bit alike sometimes, so I have to pause and think sometimes. But, I certainly know all those names both of the individual leaders and of the terrorist groups.”

Fiorina later explained how “al-Qaida and ISIS are competing now. Al-Nusra is competing. That’s also dangerous because the way these terrorist groups compete is by one-upping each other in the horrific nature of the violence that they conduct.”

Defending the question set, Fiorina said, “I don’t think they’re “gotcha questions” at all. The questions you’re asking are at the heart of the threat that we face, that our ally, Israel, faces, that the world faces. It is critically important that America lead again in the world. It is critically important that we have a leader in the White House who understands the world and who’s in it and how it works.”

Hassan Nasrallah is the Secretary General of Hezbollah, an Iranian sponsored Lebanese based terrorist organization. Ayman al-Zawahiri is the leader of al-Qaida. Abu Mohammad al-Julani is the founder and leader of the al-Nusra Front. Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi is the leader of ISIS.
