of the united states and tonight you have these three issues to deal with. one is the fact that defense secretary paw netta said that israel may strike iran in the spring. number two, you've got americans who had been kidnapped in egypt now released, but they have americans who are not free to leave egypt, egypt, and thirdlis pakistani intelligence service has taken into custody the pakistani doctor who helped us get osama bin laden. what are you going to do about those things, if anything? >> first of all, that's a good question. i give you a lot of credit for that one. first i would be saying to the iranians i hope you realize there are some deadlines here and if you are not careful, israel is going to attack you. and frankly, if we have to, we are going to provide intelligence and other assets to the israelis to help them. you need to be aware that israel is not going to allow you to develop nuclear weapons that could lead to a second holocaust. and if they do attack you, it will be your own fault. second, i think we should be saying to the egyptians, we are prepared to suspend all aid to egypt if you are going to engage in this kind of hostile, hostile activity toward americans. and we don't have any reason to sustain a dictatorship that is increasingly anti-american. and third, i think that we should all learn from the pakistani intelligence service that they are not finding the people who helped hide bin laden, they are finding the people who helped find bin laden and that tells you how shaky any reliens on pakistan is. these are further examples of why we need to fundamentally rethink our strategy for the region because it is a much more dangerous and much more hostile region than barack obama thinks it is. >> can we afford, as a nation, to have israel take the lead role against iran in light of the fact that that may have a very -- far different effect than if some other country takes a lead role? can we afford to have israel be out front? >> it's not our choice. the israeli prime minister has to dedicate himself or herself to the protection of israel. these are people who just a generation ago saw 7 million jews exterminated in europe while the world did nothing. they aren't inclined to wait around and let somebody offer them promises and then suffer a holocaust. i think the israelis have a very hard decision them eventually do what it takes to defend themselves, and it's not our choice. what we should be doing is we should be developing as rapidly as possible a decisive american energy plan to make our economy totally independent of the middle east so that we don't frankly care how big the mess gets. i think the obama administration's anti-american energy policies actually make us more vulnerable to the middle east. >> i guess what i'm sort of sureious about, if israel goes alone versus, versus suppose the united states gathered up allies and they were more in the lead than israel. i think the ramification will be different in israel goes alone than if they would prominent backing should it come to that. >> i think it would be far better to have an american administration that was prepared to deal with iran so the israelis could relax and take a deep breath and step back. i think any danger of an isreali strike is a function of their total lack of faith in obama, just as the decision two weeks ago with saudi arabia to sign an agreement with china to build nuclear capabilities and nuclear energy plans was a sign of their lack of faith in barack obama. we are watching this administration gradually fade from relevance as country after country doesn't take them seriously. >> all right. with respect to pakistan, the fact that the intelligence service is said to have seized this doctor who helped us, you id it's a reflection on you're relationship with pakistan, it is really sort of an example of a far bigger problem for the united states in terms of our relationship with pakistan, having to do with afghanistan and so much more s there something profoundly different you would be doing as president, visa vis pakistan, than president obama is doing? >> the first thing i would do is and the u.s. congress to repeal all the restrictions on americans spying. since 1975 we made it harder and harder and harder to have genuine intelligence assets in the field trying to find out what's going on. we actually rely on the pakistani intelligence service, which as you just reported, is actively closing down american assets. so the first key thing is to rebuild the american capacity to do genuine intelligence and genuine covert operations. the second thing is to recognize that there's a huge power struggle underway inside pakistan. we want to be on the side of the western modernizing forces against the islamist forces, and i think that we have to recognize there's no unified pakistan right now. there are several different faxes and there is a danger of real turmoil in a country that already has between 100 and 200 nuclear weapons. >> jobs numbers today. this is the third consecutive month that the unemployment numbers are going down. i know republicans, they have been not embracing it enthusiastically as the democrats. but you have to admit that trend is a very good friend; it not? >> it's a great trend for america. i'm talking to you from a state that has a very high unemployment level, has 31% unemployment among teenagers, for example. clearly the american people should be grateful for any improvement. this is a very weak recovery compared to, say, the reagan recovery at the same point in his first term. and there has been a congressional budget office warning that we may see unemployment go back up this summer and fall. but clearly the president ought to feel a little bit better. i think he probably should take a bow and claim credit, but it's a very, very weak recovery. and if gasoline prices stay as high as they are, i think they will further undermine the chance of the recovery-gathering momentum. >> all right. the campaign. you and governor romney have been do you knowing it out and even sen. santorum has an ad out and making finish. your moon idea. tomorrow is a tough fight. but the ads you are putting out, the dueling ads, i want to give one example of one. here's a release by your campaign featuring billionaire george soros. >> it's between obama and romney, there isn't all that much difference. >> we can't afford two george soros-approved candidates this fall. we need a candidate that will fight hard for people. we need someone that left efforts will fear because they will fundamentally change washington. we need newt gingrich. >> the comeback from the romney campaign was quick and it was a punching bag in part. this is it. unlike newt gingrich, mitt romney never sat next to nancy pelosi in an ad fun bid george soros on behalf of the global warming initiative. as recent aas 2008 the soros agenda had no better friend than newt gingrich. nice try, there speaker. >> first of all, that response is pure bologna. the fact is i opposed cap and trade. i testified against it the very same day al gore testified for it. i do care about the environment. i'm happy to say i think the environment matters. i think clean air matters, clean water matters and i think even gov. romney might agree to that. what he can't escape is the fact that george soros and hanging out a a lot of the so-called world leaders said to a european leader on tape that as far as he was concerned there was no difference between obama and romney. and in the youtube video that people can see at newt.org you will see case after case from health to guns to taxes, down a whole list of things where there really is no difference for all practical purposes between romney and obama. i i think you can look at it yourself and make up your own judgment. but soros is the one who said it. reporters ought to ask soros why does he feel there's no real difference? but for most republican voters, the idea of trying to nominate a soros-approved candidate is not a very appealing idea. >> what do you make of the trump endorsement of gov. romney? >> oh, nothing. the donald is an amazingly good manipulator of media. he's had another moment in the sun. he will be back again later. you have to admire him for his ability to do that. let me say one more thing about the santorum ad. i'm surprised both santorum and romney are not able to recognize the chinese now have a very aggressive program for going into space. the russians have the only man-rated vehicle currently available to go into space. and their willingness at a national security level to back off from trying to be the leading country in space, i think is very surprising. it's a long way from john f. kennedy's courage in 1961. the santorum-romney cheapness of twelve. i think the average american is not comfortable with the idea that the chinese and the russians are going to dominate space and the u.s. is simply going to withdraw because we can't set priorities. >> give me some behind the scenes strategies for tomorrow. it's a caucus tomorrow, not an election. do you have any idea where you will be, what you will be doing and how you are going to get the people to the caucus? >> well, we've been campaigning here in reno. we now have been having rallies around las vegas. we are reaching out and talking to people across the whole state. we expect gov. romney to come in first. there's a very large mormon population here. he got an absolute majority last time. i think our hope is that we may be able to come in second, although ron paul is very organized. anytime it's a caucus ron paul has a real opportunity because of the intensity his supporters. he doesn't do nearly as well in a primary but he does in a caucus. we are going all out to see if we can't be a good solid second here and then on to colorado and minnesota. voting has already started in arizona and in ohio we will be competing there. we are working our way toward super tuesday. we think we will do very, very well in super tuesday and then in alabama and mississippi the following week. then we think we will clean up in texas on the 3rd of april. our hope is by the 3rd of april to be even with or slightly ahead of gov. romney in total delegates. >> are you seeking congresswoman michele bachmann's endorsement in the state of minnesota sense obviously that's one of the places there will be a contest. >> she and i have chatted. i would obviously love to have her endorsement. she has a very strong following there. but for the moment she told me she wants to keep her powder dry. she is going to run for re-election and i think she's focused on her re-election campaign. >> thank you very much and we will watch tomorrow night to see how it goes. thank you, sir. >> good talking to you, greta. >> and nevada is a hotspot for the tea party. each republican candidate is vying for tea party support. tea party activist sharron angle is a woman who almost unseeded the most active person in the senate. that was 2010. how much power will the tea party have in the 2012 race? sharron angle joins us. nice to see you. >> good evening. thank you for having me on your show. >> i'm curious why sen. santorum and not the other three candidates? >> i think we have a stellar group of candidates this year. it was a hard decision for me, but i've known rick for several years. we just closely align in our view of social and fiscal conservatism. so that's why i told rick that i would support him here in nevada. >> all right. everyone always talks about social and fiscal conservatism in this race but i'm curious does foreign policy have any bearing on your choice here? just looking at for yen policy with the different can dates or does that play sort of second to social and fiscal -- or third, rather? >> well, i think that you look at a candidate as a whole, see where they stand on all the polls and issues that are going to come up, and certainly foreign affairs is one of those things that we have to look very closely at. and i think that rick has a strong record in that regard. >> how big, if you know, is the tea party in nevada? >> well, i think there is some misconception about the tea party. it's not an organization, it's an organism. and what that means is it's a phenomena of america, and it was precipitated by the obama policies. and people are really very concerned. we are just mainstream middle class americans that got concerned about our liberties and how to preserve those liberties and make sure that our children and grandchildren have the same country that we had. and so it's really not occupy, we aren't being paid we don't leave a mess when we vacate our areas, and we really are just mothers, dads, grandchildren, grand mothers, grand fathers, we are many stream america that has come out and said what can we do, how can we get involved preserving our liberties. when people say are you organized, no, we aren't. we are an organism. it's an american phenomena. >> do you feel it's grown more vocal in nevada or faded a little bit or about the same in the last few years? >> i think what you will find is most of the people that came out in the movement in 2010 have now found a place where they can make a difference. and they are looking, they have become part of the republican party in some instances and they have been active in elections integrity programs. they are work to go make sure we have good, strong, fair elections here in the united states and in nevada. so i wouldn't say that it's weaker. i would just say that it's very much directed at preserving liberty here. we are going to see that movement have a high impact, i think, on the elections this year. >> are you going to run for office again? >> i don't rule out any possibility. thanks for asking. >> you got your eye on anything, anything in particular? >> i -- you know, i have a little time to think about that. we don't have to file here in nevada until the middle of march. i'm really very much focused on our voice pac and i have been using the proceeds of my back, right angle, one woman's journey to reclaim the constitution, to work on election integrity. i've been dooring and talking about having a secure and trust worthy vote here in this country. and what it will take. you know, sullen i think said it doesn't matter who votes, it matters who counts the votes. well, we want to be there when they down the votes. we will watch tomorrow night and see what happens in your state as your state prepares to caucus. thanks very much for joining us. >> thank you, greta. >> now just over a quarter of nevada's population is hispanic. that's more than 700,000 voters. and the candidates views on immigration could impact tomorrow's vote. griff jenkins hit the ground in nevada. >> newt gingrich and ron paul, at least in terms of the hispanic voters here, we feel those have been the two who have reached out to them the most. have held specific community mings where they geared their speeches toward the hispanic voters, talk about immigration issues, employment issues and things like that. while other candidates, rick santorum, for example, is not running ads in span irk, is not gearing any meetings or advertising or literature toward hispanics. the sentiment among the community here is santorum in a lesser extent mitt romney have not reach out as much as another two candidates. >> we have the same issues as everyone else, healthcare, jobs, and et cetera did you the underlying current is undocumented immigration. that's the underlying current. and that is what really moves the hispanic community. it moved us in 2008, it's doing it now in 2012. gingrich opened up and closed on it a little bit. now, as i understand it, he's beginning to open up again. obviously santorum and romney are totally closed to it. and in fact there's been a couple of, i know, people, young men and women, students, in essence, going to his office, actually getting on him for the way that he has reacted toward the possible dream act, that he would veto anything that comes to his desk. and that has upset a number of hispanics, particularly the young hispanics. you have people like romney and santorum who have really taken too much of a strong stance against. it's an anti-immigrant move. >> what's the message that other republican candidates should be hearing from the hispanic voters in nevada? >> the message is there are 55 million hispanics in the united states of america. we are here, we are ingrained in the culture and society. pay attention to us. they are looking at 12 million people who are presumably here undocumented and they are for getting the other 40-plus million of us that reside in this country. >> straight ahead, what are you doing this weekend? if you are like millions of others you are probably planning to watch the super bowl. but whether you are watching to see tom brady or he'll lie manning or even paw donna, there is big -- madonna, there's big excitement surrounding the game. don't go away. and also, there are many generous americans there to help them. tonight news of something despicable, a bombing. the military just bombed a bible school built by reverend graham's aid group. reverend franklin graham is here. and trump wasn't the only one to make the big endorsement yesterday. yesterday. it's not who you would [ male announcer ] for fastidious librarian emily skinner, each day was fueled by thorough preparation for events to come. well somewhere along the way, emily went right on living. but you see, with the help of her raymond james financial advisor, she had planned for every eventuali. which meant she continued to have the means to live on... even at the ripe old age of 187. life well planned. see what a raymond james advisor can do for you. i used to not travel very much, but then i discovered hotwire. now, i use all my vacation days. i can afford to visit my folks for the holidays. and reconnect with my girlfriends in vegas. beuse i get ridiculously low prices on all my trips. you see, when hotels have unsold rooms, they use hotwire to fill them, so i g 4-star hotels for up to half off. now i can afford a romantic trip to new orleans. hi honey! ♪ h-o-t-w-i-r-e... ♪ hotwire.com [ male announcer ] when a moment suddenly turns romantic, men with erectile dysfunction can be more confident in their ability to be ready with cialis for daily use. even if it doesn't happen every day, you can be ready anytime the moment's right, because you take a clinically proven low-dose tablet every day.

>> you want me to do it so early in our conversation? sure. >> i would be happy to. >> then i am going to barque track and -- backtrack and make you explain it. >> i like the giants at this one, 27-17. >> 27-17. i have heard that score, back to 1982, right? >> that's why i chose the score. for some reason tstuck in my mind when i started thinking about this game. i thought: that was the score of our game when we beat the miami dolphins in super bowl 17. i saw the banners. i picked out our banner and the ring over radio row right ark way, i thought, there has to be an omen here. that's what i am going with. >> all right. you are already there. is the town on fire with the super bowl fans showing up? >> it's nuts. it's absolutely nuts. it's fantastic. i mean, the people are wall to wall on the streets. the weather has been magnificent. it is in the 50s, maybe showers tomorrow night. but it's going to be beautiful on sunday. indianapolis has done a fabulous job hosting the super bowl. if someone was to ask me if they should do it again, i would say absolutely. the flow of the people, the flow of the traffic. you can get to the stadium easily. they have done a marvelous job with it. they really have. >> i looked up the stadium, there are only 63,000 seats, that's not a big stadium. >> no, compared to last year at texas stadium with over 100,000. it maybes that ticket a very, very big premium. a lot of people are looking for seats and chances to go to this game. it's a wonderful, marquise matchup. >> it's going to be fun to watch. it is fun to watch eli manning and tom brady, both great quarterbacks. is this going to be a quarterback duel? >> you tend to expect the unexpected in super bowls. the last time they were in a super bowl four years ago, the final score was 17-14. the score -- week 9 this year was 24-20, giants. so i think the giant defense fthey do show up can really, really hurt new england's offense. when i look at eli manning, going to san francisco -- doing the things that he has done and the wide receiving corp playing as well as they are. you start to look and say the giants should be able to do some things that a lot of people haven't been able do against the new england patriots. that's i didn't am leaning that way toward them. but i am looking at the game, right around the score i have given, 27-17. you know, i would be surprised if it gets in the 30s. >> it's in indianapolis, it's peyton manning, but there is a lot of side attention -- eli manning. but there is a lot of side attention on peyton manning. he got the okay to play next season. didn't play last season. there seeps to be a drama with the owner. do you think peyton manning will be playing with the coals or do you think he will be traded? >> i think he ends up in indianapolis. i think jim writes him the check. he has been done so much for this city. lucas oil stadium and the super bowl wouldn't be here without peyton manning in this city. i think he has done an awful lot. he has some pretty good wide receivers. it is not like they went 8-8 and said, okay, we can move on. it bake became painfully obvious that this team was a disaster without him. i would draft andrew luck and sign peyton and move forward with someone who can take over when and if peyton wants to retire. i can't picture him in another uniform. you just don't get a quarterback. you get an offensive coordinator and a quarterback. who is system is he going on run if he goes somewhere else. >> do you think they will expand? l.a. has been looking for a team for almost 20 years? >> right, they have started the plans for l.a. have named the stadium already. i don't believe they will go past 32 teams. i think one of the 32 teams will wind up in los angeles. >> all right. joe, nice to talk to you. i remember that 1982 game when the red skins won. direcognize that score because dimy research before we talked tonight. anyway, you have a great weekend. enjoy the game. >> thanks, greta. great being with you. >> coming up, a bible school is bombed by the sudanese military. it was built by franklin graham's purse. reverend franklin graham is next. which u.s. president can be called writener chief? one president lent his expertise into a writing business. we will talk to the novelist, thomas kaplan. >> now the sudan military is bombing a bible school. and it's not just any bible school. it's one that was built by reverend franklin graham's aid group. reverend graham joins us. nice to see you, sir. >> nice to be with you. >> what happened in week some. >> on wednesday afternoon about 5:00, a russian made bomber flew over and dropped 8 bombs on the bible school. it was the first day of school. bible school was filled with the students and their families. they heard the plane coming so they suspected what was about to happen so they ran and they were able to get away from the buildings as the bombs fell. no one was killed and as far as we know no one was hurt. it started fires and things like that but we don't know what all the destruction was. >> we have pictures we can put up on the screen for the view, to see of the bombed-out buildings. you have been bombed before in the sudan. >> yes. >> it's not the first time. >> not the first time. >> why are they bombing a bible school. >> the government of sudan has targeted schools, hospitals, which they bombed one hospital we had on seven different occasions and people were killed in those bombings. they were targeted u. n. food drops where they would drop food on a strip and they would wait until the people would path gooder and then they would bomb it. this has been their policy for a number of years. what we are doing right now, this becoming took place in north sudan t didn't take place in the south. this is in the southern part of the state, the mountains. this is inside the north. and the president has cordoned this off. no food has gotten in. they have been blockaded and they have been bombing it and shelling it every day sense june. thousands of people have fled south. we've been taking care of those people who fled south. where they fled in the south, greta, they bombed it this summer. the refugee camp in the south. they are going after civilians. >> now, the russ government has responded in what way? i think you sent a letter to someone in the russ government. >> susan rice and she respond -- >> the ambassador. >> and also the white house issued a statement today as well. >> condemning this. >> yes. >> you actually know president bashir of south sudan. and you talked to him before about becoming your buildings. >> i have. greta, i think -- you know, we have to look where do we go forward from here? i believe the only thing that we can do is get the united states engaged in this. president obama. and if i could give him advise it would be bring bashir and the two governors of the upper blue file and the south state and bring them to camp david and have a camp david style meeting and find a way to resolve the differences. i believe all parties would like to find a way to resolve it. >> i don't think we realize the number of people involved. we have our attention on other hotspots in the world but it has an enormous impact on thousands of people. >> it does. it's huge. because the people right now are fleeing to the south. you have a huge refugee problem going on in the south in the blue file and these are states called the upper blue file and south kordavan. 300,000 are christians and other 400,000 muslims. but they live in peace together. the government of sow dan is bombing both the christians and the muslims. >> do you think if president obama sat those people down it could actually be worked down and peace achieved? >> i think he could. no question. >> what are the odds? >> it's pretty good because they want the president of the south has told me the united states has to be engaged the president bashir has told me the same thing, the united states has to be engaged and we aren't engaged in the north. we have an embassy in the south but not the north. we have an embassy but not an ambassador. >> those pictures are horrible. we forget what it's -- forget what some people live like. nice to see you. >> nice to zoo you. >> did a president take on a new career. what is president clinton doing?

fix is not a new genre, but a thriller is. >> that's true. i've always been interested in it and i always wanted to write one but i didn't want to write bun until i had an idea that wasn't derivative of a lot of thrillers out there. i have a lot of respect for that genre. there's so many good once out there and have been historically i either wanted to contribute something new or not do it. it took two bursts of inspiration, first for the character of ty hunter, the movie star spy, and then i made a false start as i began with him. and then i had the idea for the plot of this book. just the beginning of the plot of the book. >> did the plot involve as you wrote it or did you sit there one day and think this would be a great thriller, this is the plot and now i have to figure out how to lay it out in a narrative or do you develop it as you write it? >> i developed it as i wrote it but it was a little bit of both of these things. i had the character of ty hunter and i was working on a different course with him. when i thought it need today be sharper, and suddenly i thought of this central element, the scheme by which nuclear weapons were secreted in and ferreted out of the old soviet union at the time it dissolved. a called a friend of mine who knew about a lot of things like this and asked if this was plausible. and to my pleasure it was nice to know it was, and to my horror because sit center, and i thought it was more dangerous and he said it was. and on that i wrote the story and it developed on its own. >> you sometimes read a book and think this would be a great movie. this is the type of thriller you could see making a movie out of it. >> i hope so. that would be great. >> i can't leave without talking about the man who wrote the introduction to it, who is -- how do you know bill clinton? >> well, by an accident. the alphabet. two last names beginning with c. we were a few doors away from each other as freshman at georgetown and later became roommates and have been friends ever since. >> what did you think of him or do you remember him the first night?
