- There he is, great to see you.

You doing well?

- [David] Walking firmly 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, partpolicy, and part spiritual,

especially for a strong Christian,

who experienced arefreshing in the Holy Land.

- The Western Wall was there with you.

What was that experience like?

I mean, how impactfulwas something like that?

- This was incredibly special, to be there

with the Israeli Prime Minister

and the Ambassador from theUnited States to Israel.

It was really an important moment,

it was special for me as a Christian,

and it was special, I think,to show the commitment

the United States has to this democracy,

this Jewish nation of Israel.

- [David] President Trump showed

that strong commitment again,

by announcing through Twitter of course,

that it's time for theUS 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 US embassy here.

Then he pulled out of thedisastrous Iran treaty,

and reimposed sanctions.

- [David] Netanyahucalled it a pure 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, itbegged for an obvious question.

- Could it be thatPresident Trump right now

has been sort of 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 3000years ago and 2000 years ago,

if I have the history just right.

I had to see the remarkable history

of the faith in this place,

and the work that ouradministration's done

to make sure that thisdemocracy in the Middle East

that this Jewish state remains.

I'm confident that theLord is at work here.

- [David] But with all the benefits

Israel has received fromthis 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 detailsof the plan as it stands now,

I'm sure there'll be things 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 of 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.

- [David] As for the Jewish faith,

attacks have been almost a way of life.

Recently antisemitism hasseen a resurgence worldwide,

and even surfaced withinthe Democrat party.

Congresswoman Ilhan Omarhas come under fire for

some of her remarks.

- How concerned are you about the rise

of not just antisemitism around the world,

but in that Democrat party as well?

- To see this from a member of Congress

like Congresswoman Omar,

to speak about antisemitism in that way

is of great concern,it's great concern to me.

This administration speaks the truth.

And antisemitism is unacceptablein any form from anyone,

but to see it come fromone of America's leaders

is just abhorrent.

- [David] 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

the military presence will remain.

Something the Secretary of State

backed up in our conversation.

- The challenges in Syria remain.

The United States intends to remain.

We're close to thedestruction of the Caliphate,

it will be completed very, very soon.

- [David] This job is notfor 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 is informed

by my understanding of my faith.

My belief in Jesus Christ as a savior.

It doesn't drive answersand outcomes everyday,

we all as Christians are searching,

but it does inform how I try to treat

every human being withdignity and respect,

in ways 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 is 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 antisemitism.

That shows you how deep thepolitical divide has become Pat,

and of course the biblical comparison.

Donald Trump and QueenEsther, and you can imagine

anytime you put Donald Trumpand a biblical figure together,

you know the media is gonna go haywire,

and apparently they alreadyhave after our report.

- David let me ask you,

you know the democratshave had tremendous support

among the Jewish community.

I understand the number ofthe announced candidates

for the Presidency

are not gonna go to theAIPAC 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 plentyof those Democrats

running for President 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 there,

and 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 in theDemocrat party today,

with that progressive,liberal, the AOC wing,

as I like to call them.

You've got that.

And then look who is speaking today, Pat.

Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi,the old guard of the Democrats,

and that says everything you need to know

about where the Democrat party is heading.

- Do you think that Jewishpeople are gonna wake up

and begin to shift their alliance

from the Democrats to the Republicans?

They've been a key funding source,

I'm sure for the Democrats.

- So here's the short answer, Pat.

No, but with an asterisk.

And that asterisk

could be one, two, threepercentage points or so,

in favor of a Donald Trump or Republicans,

and that can make a hugedifference in elections,

especially if Donald Trump suffers

in some sort of other area.

Whether it'd be with suburban women,

or with potentially even Evangelicals.

And so, that asterisk becomes crucial,

going into 2020, and I thinkthat'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 know, you have the Orthodox Jews

that overall are verysupportive 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 philosophyfrom a liberal standpoint

sides with the Democrats,

and that is gonna be very hard to undo.

- Well, David thank youvery much, appreciate your-
