Republican front-runner Donald Trump responded to being featured in a terrorist propaganda video saying, “They use other people, too, I mean, what am I going to do? I have to say what I have to say.”

Appearing on CBS’s “Face the Nation” with John Dickerson on Sunday, Trump stood by his comments on a moratorium on Muslim immigration suggesting, “Look, here is the problem. I bring it up, other people have called me they say, you have guts to bring it up because frankly it’s true. But nobody wants to get involved.” (RELATED: Trump Calls For Moratorium On Muslims Entering United States)

Trump continued:

Now people are getting involved. People that are on different persuasions than me right now, John, are saying, you know, maybe Trump isn’t wrong. We want to examine it. There’s a lot of bad stuff going on. I’m watching the news tonight, actually, CBS, and so many of the elements, you look at Germany, you look at Brussels, you look all over the world, they’re shutting down cities that never had a problem before. They’re shutting down countries that never had a problem before. You look at Paris, what happened. You look at California, what happened. John, maybe it’s not politically correct, there’s a big problem out there and we have to solve the problem.

Dickerson then asked Trump, “Does it concern you at all that you’re being used in essentially a recruitment video by terrorist organization?”

“They use other people too, I mean, what am I going to do? I have to say what I have to say,” Trump insisted. “And you know what I have to say? There’s a problem. We have to find out what is the problem and we have solve that problem.” (RELATED: Donald Trump Isn’t In Any ISIS Recruitment Videos, But Bill Clinton Is [VIDEO])

Dickerson followed up with Trump, “Do you think the problem is that the West is on a collision course with radical Islam or is this just ISIS is the problem? I mean, is this a clash of civilizations?”

“I think radical Islam may be on a collision course with us,” Trump said. “I mean, you could change it around a little bit. But it is a very, very deeps-seeded hatred that’s going on. I mean, you have a hatred like people willing to give their lives.”

“I have to tell you, it is so big, it is the biggest thing there is right now, when I watch President Obama say global warming is our biggest problem, it’s just so sad to watch,” Trump insisted. “And he doesn’t want to use the words ‘radical Islam.’ He doesn’t want to use anything having to do with ‘radical’ and ‘Islam.’ So until he’s willing to admit the problem — how can you not at least talk about the problem? And one of the things I’ve done I brought the problem out.”

“The world is talking about what I’ve said. And now big parts of the world are saying, Trump is really right at least identifying what’s going on,” Trump claimed. “And we have to solve it. But you’re not going to solve the problem unless you identify it.”

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
