as stated that i m going to try to compel people to follow my religion, no. i m a child of god. i believe that wholly. i m going to follow the law. i m not going to compel people who believe in whatever faith it could be. if you re in a synagogue, a baptist church, a buddhist temple, i m in all of them. and that s what was in my service. just to be clear, do you fundamentally believe in the separation of church and state from a governing standpoint? no, what i believe is that you cannot separate your faith. government should not interfere with religion and religion should not interfere with government. but i believe my faith pushes me forward on how i govern and the things that i do. understandable, but one of the fundamentals of the constitution is a separation of church and state when it comes to governing. when i just asked you, you said no. that s going to alarm some people. no, this is what i m saying. i want to be very clear.

our base, so many americans, vast majority, are unsettled about how things are going. it s time to govern. that s the best winning political strategy. let the democrats overplay their hand on these investigations if that s what they choose. but i think this strategy is short term, perhaps shoring up the base but long term i do not see it as a winning strategy either from a governing standpoint or political standpoint. mack mcclarty, robert costa, thank you for being on. members of the military may be happy to see the president, iraqi lawmakers called the visit arrogant. now some say they want the u.s. military out of that country. we ll explain next. the holiday didn t last long for the president s attorney. rudy giuliani is out with a new interview dropping this hour. no surprise, he s lashing out at the special counsel and why he says robert mueller needs to be
agree with romney in this poll. that s the 37% you see of republicans who think state and local should carry the whole burden. richard, the romney position as happily described by him during those republican primaries, he just can t speak a word of that right now. the natural disaster they re looking at are those numbers. and that s why he s doing these flip-flops right now. when you are in an election that is separated by one or two points in pretty much all the critical states and your opponent is getting 78% approval, 78% approval, for his behavior on a national stage just a few days before an election, that s a political disaster. never mind the natural one that everyone else is suffering. many republicans concerned about this chris christie embrace of president obama, which makes perfect sense from a governing standpoint. sure. rush limbaugh thinks he s got it all figured out. let s listen to rush on this.
