to hamas. in foreign aid. and. bill: to try to buy them to back off. you know how the game is played. trying to buy the egyptians now. so they claim. i know the billion in forgiveness to egypt. the point is, it is to me very significant that the president went so far as to say i want jerusalem back in but not i want hamas back in. bill: does he not need the jewish vote in florida? isn t that what this is all about. i think he is so i believe he thinks jews don t care about israel. he is he so mesmerized by his observe bias toward the palestinians that i just think he can t help himself. bill: wait a second. you just said that h jersz back. he did. he didn t put hamas back in. no right of return. bill: nobody cares about hamas. leading terrorist organization in the middle east. you and seven other guys that do this for a living and don t sleep care. but jerusalem and god are big. and barack obama and i believe. this i believe that he called
disto joe biden. joe biden normally would have spoken this night. he is not the most super star surrogate speaker or the kibitzer in chief as clinton. what clinton can say on behalf of barack obama, is he going to make the case that barack obama shares the same philosophy about the economy that bill clinton had and which led to clinton s success and if you just give barack obama more time it will produce similar results in essence. bill: all right. i don t know. the two of them ran a totally different economic profile. all right. well, we will listen. very true. bill: okay, roberts. we asked to you try to figure out and we had gotten word earlier that it was barack obama who ordered the changes made in the platform that god be reinserted, the word. and that jerusalem be inserted into it would be the capital of israel. is that true? is that what you found out. yeah, that s absolutely
channel and your network is that the democrats are godless people, they ought to know better. god is not a franchise of the republic party. no no. those of us who believe in god and dedicated ourselves to helping others in the name of god don t want to take a second seat to anyone that suggesting one word out of the platform means that the democrats across america are godless. bret: no, no, no. i m just asking why was the word taken out. i m just telling you you are harping on a tripod. we know that both parties are devoted to this country, both parties are god-fearing parties. let s get on with the agenda about creating jobs in america and justice in this country. bill: apparently the senator did not want to answer the question about why the word was taken out. that was awesome, bill. i have never seen a more masterful attempt at not answering the question. bill: he dodged the question. i don t know why they do that you can attack fox news red meat for people.
true. at one point barack obama said why was the word god taken out of the platform in the first place in the more difficult question to answer, bill, this is the question we have been talking to a lot of democratic officials about and so far have not gotten an answer, whose brilliant idea was it to take it out in the first place both jerusalem and god? i talked to debbie wasser isman shoults at length about an hour ago. i asked her several times why was jerusalem taken out? she wouldn t even acknowledge that jerusalem had been taken out. she called it a technical correction. it wasn t an omission. bill: like baier and durbin. baier kept asking him the same thing. and senator durbin last night saying hey, it s no big deal you are making a mountain out of a mole hill, why are you doing this clearly they were suffering withering criticism. the republic jewish will have a full page ad. they couldn t pull it in time when says what s missing from the platform in 20120 language
from the brink. that s why president obama s jobs plan was not even put on the house floor. instead of trying to fix the problem, the republics, unfortunately, played politics. but despite historic lestlesz of obstruction bill: so you heard the opening of congressman hoyer s speech but now we want to continue with our factor analysis. let s bring in our pal dr. marc lamont hill who teaches at columbia university here in new york city. i wanted you on tonight not to be partisan. i m never partisan so that works out. bill: of course you are. that s boring. okay. that s boring. i want you to react to two sound bites that i feel are are extraordinary. two things that happened at the convention this week. the first one is bret baier interviewing senator dick durbin from illinois about the god deal roll the tape. god out of the platform. why do that? well, can i just basically tell you if the narrative that s being presented on your station and through your
