Welcome -- hot today we're coming to your from -- Darius in Israel.

And my thanks to our Israeli crew as well as all the folks back -- New York to make this happen.

In -- I'd be honest with -- I've lost track of how many times I've been to Israel it's over twenty I think but I know why I keep coming back.

I know how I felt when I came here forty years ago this summer when I was all of a team.

He has -- spent forty years in the wilderness under Moses but these past forty years have not been years in the wilderness.

For the people of this tiny speck of real estate.

About the size of New Jersey.

I've witnessed firsthand the dry bones coming to life.

I've watched the desolate and barren desert bloom with lush vegetation and tall trees.

I've -- to see -- tiny besieged nation move from a struggling economy.

Barely able little -- -- soldiers with uniforms and weapons to being an economic engine of high tech innovation.

A center of world class medical care.

Energy exploration and educational excellence and and a waste is a free speech and free elections.

With the exception of Jordan dictators terrorists tyrants and the mad dog submit DB -- mission militias may -- surround this country.

While Israel was created a true and modern democracy.

And given its women the opportunity not only to vote but to lead.

The radical Islamic nation surrounded.

Have sanctions so called honor killings of its wives and daughters the wholesale slaughter of their own citizens.

Who dared to speak up for freedom of thought and the glorification.

Of those deceived into believing.

It's okay to strap a bomb on one song baby turn it into -- human Bob so that it can kill and -- other people's babies.

President Obama's finally gonna come to is role as president next month.

I sure wish -- let me show I'm around.

I've brought thousands of people here over the years to show the media's role that I love and respect.

I kind of fear his tour is gonna be coordinated by some of the same night -- politicians.

Who think that.

We need to lecture our ally Israel about expanding neighborhoods to build veterans for their children in land that god needed to them.

Long before Obama was born and ever heard of the six day war.

Instead.

Our president needs to come and express his solidarity with a nation.

That is never been our enemy but he stood with us against those who have trained supported financed and applauded.

-- the -- -- religious fanatics who flew airplanes into the Twin Towers and pentagon.

Who murdered fourteen people at Fort Hood and who shamelessly.

-- shot soldiers in Little Rock.

And -- planet IED's on the roadside in Iraq and Afghanistan.

To kill those who wore our flag on their shoulders.

I got a hard time convincing some Americans -- it really does matter that we act like friends to our friends.

And we stopped believing our enemies are not really that different after all.

But this was the only nation in the Middle East who mirrors our core values of individual freedom and responsibility.

Of the equality of human beings of the value of education in the powered descent.

Even with one's own government.

And the right of the people to change their government without balance with ballots rather instead of with bullets and bombs.

The president could do the country and in fact the world a big favor.

By withdrawing the nomination of Chuck Hagel for Defense Secretary.

A man that is so utterly and completely ignorant of the real enemy that we face that he believes Iran can be trusted and Israel can't.

He'd be better suited for taking tickets at Yellowstone.

-- directing the strategic placement of our military assets to defend against threats.

I hope you'll call and email your senator urge him our thirty usable common sense.

And while acknowledging that the president has the privilege should name his team.

He does not have the right to put people -- on his team who betrayed the trust of the American people and our friends.
