Spokeswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz really say that Israel's ambassador to the United States called Republicans.

Dangerous to Israel.

I didn't say his -- and unfortunately.

Zach back comments was reported by -- conservative newspaper is not surprising that they would deliberately didn't bother me.

-- conservative newspaper.

-- what if that's true.

Then what's this.

One.

And I didn't know I didn't ask her landlord -- it is dad why don't you do hit the danger is visiting.

They are undermining his bills.

Security.

That's embarrassing despite the obvious evidence the DNC chairwoman refuses to take back what she said instead of blaming the reporter who released the tape.

The reporter is sitting right next to us he is -- -- reporter for the Washington examiner who -- -- the morning okay so that's how it started out on Monday she said what.

She says that what you just said you know aired on the air today the Republicans what they're doing -- dangerous for Israel.

As part of making a broader point about Republican.

Criticism of President Obama team and this happened at.

A training session for Jewish Democrats on how they convinced.

Fellow Jews to try to vote for Obama and you're in attendance and you reported it correctly on Tuesday -- came out the examiner.

-- pretty shortly after that the Israelis responded yes and and keep in mind I reporter not just that name quote that you -- but.

I quoted the full context of everything you know I described the event and everything and the Israeli and that embassy emphatically denied that.

The -- -- -- -- it's so what does she say she says we can't trust that guy kisses from a conservative newspaper.

Unfortunately for heard you had audiotape yeah I always think precisely for this reason that I always recording everything.

I coached him.

And so that's embarrassing for the chairwoman of the DNC.

Have you heard from her since.

No I I haven't at all and I contacted them yeah after the Israeli embassy.

And give them an opportunity to respond and they never responded to my email request for the next thing I know.

Jason had deliberately misquoted are on national TV footage you know film if it looks like a flat out lie and you corner it.

Yeah I mean like I said I just put the audio up there and I was pretty confident that it would vindicate me and you know independent fact -- and everyone.

You know -- them who aren't always favorable towards the conservative press.

Have said you know siding with -- and he -- have you seen anything like that before.

Well you know if you cover politics long enough you -- get to see a lot of stuff.

It's always somehow the surprising when it's quite so brazen break but you know -- how it's not completely shocking that this could happen in politics.

And she is regarded by some as kind of a serial.

Truth stretcher yet and I think more and more we're beginning to see that this is a hell of a long pattern especially as kids -- public spotlight more.

And people didn't call -- out.

Haven't Philip what do you hear behind the scenes you know there have been stories that.

The Obama people not happy with third and would like to get rid of -- conventions over.

We're and it's easy -- -- yeah I mean I'd -- the same stories that you are I can't really speculate on that because I haven't done my own report.

But given you know the troubled that he has he has had this week particularly in addition to this which we talked about yesterday.

-- and then taking god and the Jerusalem out of the platform and then.

In a very him -- -- way.

Having that crazy vote and then look good -- I think they're very defensive over the Israel issue on Obama's record on that.

And particularly you know big Jewish vote even though Obama still gonna win overwhelmingly.

Meet at the training session I went to -- pointed out that in Florida for instance if his share of the vote drop to 65%.

He'd lose 83000 votes that we know from 2000.

How close Florida today -- stand -- because the general election starts in earnest today all right -- -- -- thank you very much thanks.
