- Oh there he is.

Good to see you.

You doing well?

- [Narrator] Walkingfirmly through the door,

Mike Pompeo is a determined man.

Both our Jerusalem bureauchief Chris Mitchell and I

had the opportunity to interviewthe Secretary of State.

It was part politics, part policy,

and part spiritual especiallyfor a strong Christian

who experienced arefreshing in the holy land.

- The western wall was there with you.

What was that experience like?

And how impactful was something like that?

- This was incredibly special to be there,

to be there with Israeli prime minister

and the ambassador fromthe United States to Israel

was really an important moment.

It was special for me as a Christian.

It was special I thinkto show the commitment

the United States has to this democracy,

this Jewish nation of Israel.

- [Narrator] President Trumpshowed that strong commitment

again by announcingthrough Twitter, of course,

that it's time for theU.S. to fully recognize

Israel's sovereignty overthe disputed Golan Heights.

Music to the ears of theIsraeli prime minister.

- He did it again.

First he recognizedJerusalem as Israel's capital

and moved the U.S. Embassy here.

Then he pulled out of thedisastrous Iran Treaty

and reimposed sanctions.

- [Narrator] Netanyahucalled it a Purim miracle

as Jews around the world celebrate

how God saved them through Esther

from the evil Haman and the Persians.

With modern-day Persians inIraq threatening them now,

and with President Trumpboldly making moves

in support of Israel,

it begged for an obvious question.

- Could it be thatPresident Trump right now

has been sorta raisedfor such a time as this?

Just like Queen Esther tohelp save the Jewish people

from an Iranian menace?

- As a Christian, I certainlybelieve that's possible.

It was remarkable. So wewere down in the tunnels

where we could see 3,000years ago and 2,000 years ago

if I have the history just right.

To see the remarkable historyof the faith in this place

and the work that ouradministration's done

to make sure that thisdemocracy in the Middle East

of this Jewish state remains.

I'm confident that theLord is at work here.

- [Narrator] But with all thebenefits Israel has received

from this administration,

will there be a price to pay

in the long awaited Mideast peace plan?

- What can you do to allay their fears

of something like dividing Jerusalem

in the upcoming peace plan?

- So I've seen the details of the plan

as it stands now.

I'm sure there'll bethings moved just a bit

as time goes on.

But, evangelicals of theworld should know that

this is a vision for whatmight ultimately lead

to this resolution, this conflict.

And I think this planpresents a vision for that,

but doesn't sacrifice anyof these core principles

frankly of any of the faiths.

- [Narrator] As for the Jewish faith,

attacks have been almost a way of life.

Recently anti-Semitism hasseen a resurgence worldwide

and even surfaced withinthe Democrat party.

Congresswoman IlhanOmar has come under fire

for some of her remarks.

- How concerned are you about the rise

of not just anti-Semitismaround the world,

but in that Democrat party as well?

- To see this from a member of Congress,

like Congresswoman Omar,

to speak about anti-Semitism in that way,

is of great concern.

It's great concern to me.

This administration speaks the truth.

And anti-Semitism isunacceptable in any form

from anyone, but to see it come from one

of America's leaders is just abhorrent.

- [Narrator] Another concern,

especially among many evangelicals,

was President Trump's announcement

to pull troops out of Syria,

putting Christians andmany others in the region

as sitting ducks.

Since then the administration now says

a military presence will remain.

Something the Secretary of State backed up

in our converstion.

- The challenges in Syria remain.

The United States intends to remain.

We are close to thedestruction of the caliphate.

It will be completed very, very soon.

- [Narrator] This job isnot for the faint of heart,

but the good news, so to speak,

is that Pompeo says he's rootedin the most important thing.

- The task that I have isinformed by my understanding

of my faith, my belief inJesus Christ as the savior.

It doesn't drive answersand outcomes every day,

we all as Christians are searching.

But, it does inform how I tryto treat every human being

with dignity and respect inways that Christians ought to.

I don't always live up to that standard.

But, it does inform the wayI think about the world.

- Well David Brody joinsus now from Jerusalem.

David, Mike Pompeo's an amazing guy.

What he had to say is remarkable.

- Oh for sure and as a matter of fact

we were a bit surprised,Chris Mitchell and I,

that he actually namedCongressman Omar, by name,

on foreign soil about anti-Semitism.

That shows you how deep

the political divide has become Pat.

And of course the biblical comparison,

Donald Trump and Queen Esther,

and you can imagine anytime you put Donald Trump

and a biblical figure together,

the media's gonna go haywire

and apparently they alreadyhave after our report.

- David, let me ask you,you know the Democrats

have had tremendous supportamong the Jewish community.

I understand a number ofthe announced candidates

for the presidency are not gonna go

to the AIPAC summit this week.

What do you make of that?

- Well you know it's funny,

first of all you're right,I mean there are plenty

of those Democrats running forpresident that won't make it,

Kamala Harris, Bernie Sanders,you can go down the list,

Elizabeth Warren, Beto O'Rourke,

they're all not gonna be thereand it's just fascinating

to watch Pat.

I mean you know the deal with AIPAC.

Throughout the years itwas Democrats showing up,

Republicans showing up,

and it was really a non-partisan,pro-Israel situation,

but there is a major divide,

between what's going on inthe Democrat party today

with that progressive liberal,

the AOC wing as I like to call them.

You've got that and then lookwho is speaking at AIPAC,

Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi, the old guard

of the Democrats and that sayseverything you need to know

about where the Democrat party is heading.

- Do you think the Jewishpeople are gonna wake up

and begin to shift theiralliance from the Democrats

to the Republicans?

They've been a key funding source I'm sure

for the Democrats.

- Mm-hmm.

So here's the short answer Pat.

No, but with an asterisk.

And that asterisk could be one,two, three percentage points

or so in favor of a DonaldTrump or Republicans

and that can make a hugedifference in elections,

especially if Donald Trump suffers

in some sort of other area.

Whether it be with suburban women

or with potential even evangelicals.

And so, that asterisk becomescrucial going into 2020

and I think that's important to watch.

But, why won't they turn?

Look, there's a lot to unpack

and we can spend many,many hours discussing this,

but you have the OrthodoxJews that overall

are very supportive of Donald Trump,

but the American Jews,reformed American Jews,

look, I grew up as areformed American Jew,

so I get it, I've livedthere and I know the deal,

the philosophy is liberal.

Therefore, they fit with the Democrats,

that's the way they wanna go

and they'll say they're pro-Israel,

but their philosophy froma liberal standpoint sides

with the Democrats and thatis gonna be very hard to undo.

- Well David thank you very much.

Appreciate your analysis and stay well

and we'll look forwardto hearing another report

from on the road with Mike Pompeo.
