-- to a man tonight.

That I think will make a difference he already has made a difference.

You may not know much about him.

You may not like his style you may not like his policies in the end.

I hope you at least walk away with a feeling that I have about him he is an honest man.

I don't pick or choose or back any presidential nominees.

However.

I do think that some of them need to be exposed terming -- we exposed a couple of weeks ago I thought he was worth your time listening to.

And and this man is as well.

Nominee politicians have spying.

This man does he's proved as much to me a few years ago facing a tough election.

He was ahead of the curve on the threat of radical Islam we have talked about it between us for years.

-- radical Islam growing in Iran the Middle East and the increasing pressure being put on Israel.

He knew it wasn't popular in the polls when he was running the last thing you wanted to talk about was the Middle East.

He told me at the time when I said if you know you should back off of this because this isn't helping your reelection.

He said he wouldn't be able to face his children if he didn't speak out even if it meant.

He lost he did.

But he can sleep at night joining me now is former senator and GOP presidential candidate Rick Santorum Rick powers -- The great conceals you bet if you can't work.

The -- -- that's not kind words it's it's the truth you have been.

On Israel.

And -- ran.

For very long time have.

-- -- agree with me that Israel is the key to the Middle East if you pull it out it.

All -- the west collapse I mean it's it's our anchor in the Middle East -- it's -- strategic ally for us.

It's also it's also essential for the Jewish people I mean we can't -- can't ignore the history of the Jewish people understand.

The significance to the world of having a Jewish homeland so it is it is just a strategic ally for us it is as you mentioned that that the stopper in the Middle East.

But it's also a very important humanitarian place.

I am I'm going over to Poland.

In a couple weeks on.

Something that's -- venture that I'm I'm doing and I'm not gonna do the special on -- which persist Sam visiting -- what's.

But I am.

I'm talking about the talent which is just a few miles outside of the gate.

And I've been doing my research and trying to figure out how.

Did this happen.

Poland I didn't know this when it first or do my research Poland rose up a lot of polls rose up to try to help the Jews.

And.

But they have nothing left it -- they had no arms they had hidden the Jews couldn't defend themselves they had no steeped they had nothing.

We're we're -- least at this point we have a Jewish state that can defend themselves but the world says.

They shouldn't.

Well I mean does that the whole key to all of this is the the people that are.

Opposing the -- the the Israeli state in the Middle East.

Have never recognized.

The the existence of the State of Israel.

You cannot.

He can not.

Come to terms with the fact that Israel will exist and that the United States hopefully the world will stand behind them and their right to exist.

As long as the Palestinian Authority as long as the others in the Middle East refuse to accept Israel's right to be there.

Then there can be no peace and and we should not force Israel into any negotiation until that condition is met.

To think America has enough courage.

To turn the tide.

On his room.

If we had a strong leader who had the respect of the world.

Yes the answer is because we've done it in the past.

Leaders throughout the course of of the time the state of Israel's been in and in place.

Have stood strongly with them and as a result Israel -- had a modicum of of stability and success we we see now.

Is a president who is back in -- -- who is as you talked about here very much an internationalist someone who sees his role -- almost transcending the presidency yeah.

And and and sees his role as to two to work with the international community to -- ends.

Not to the ends of the national security interest of our country not to the ends of supporting allies who are strategic for us but to the ends of some greater goal.

Then the goals -- here in the United States.

It when we come back I -- talk a little bit about I don't know of -- he's seen this yet this is time magazine constitution does is still matter of their conclusion not not so much.

And Rolling Stone and what they said about Michelle Bachmann.

The role of god in your life and creation of jobs.

In America what we're doing.
