locati location. there is still a lot of questions about how this is actually going to play out or whether or not there s even independent confirmation of what reverend jones is saying. now, we ve learned of a new incentive for the islamic center to be relocated. that is real estate mogul donald trump has offered to buy the site for 25% more than the current owners paid for it. i want to go to john zarella who is there at the site where the pastor made that statement, and i understand that john has spoken you ve spoken with the imam there who is really acting as the go-between. can you explain, what has he told you about his conversation with the imam rauf and the pastor? well, suzanne, not only can we explain it. i m going to bring the imam in here with us live. clarification for us, we re hearing from the developers in new york that there is no deal, that nothing has been agreed
interceptors. that s a great question. i think part of it will depend on what the turkish military thinks and they have had an important voice in military affairs. it cuts both ways. on the one hand to have foreign missiles on your territory might be something that draws protest or attention from people who don t like u.s. policies. on the other hand, most countries like having missile defenses. that is they like the idea that the u.s. is more tightly bound. they like having new technology. i think you will see voices in both camps. and, again, given its location, i wouldn t be surprised if we did see something. greg: turkey is a friend, it s an ally. it s also independent. but that is useful, isn t it? i agree. i couldn t agree more. there is a tendency, i understand it, it s us against them and we want everyone on our side. sometimes when you are involved in something, it s good to have a friend who can be a little independent and, therefore, be the go-between, be the catalys
stead of trying to get him out of this. this is a man who answered questions quite literally, once saying it depends upon what the definition of is, is. we have reached out to his press aids, still waiting to hear back from them. megyn: we ll look forward to that. how is this controversy different from the original controversy. reporter: the original issue was how the obama white house tried to avoid what officials felt would be a devisive primary hrebgs battle between ses stack and specht tore who you remember had just joined the democratic party in late april of 2009. originally the question was whether sestak had been offered a job to stay out of the race. he said he was, that would have been illegal. they discovered he was offered an unpaid job on an advisory board and mr. clinton was the go-between. megyn: thank you. make sure you check in on foxnews.com 24 hours a day for all the latest election
the emphasis is on political agenda, not problem solving, 3 percent say they re not sure, 10 percent say this is just a political move by a democrat who wants to challenge president obama in the 2012 election. he s at the top of his game, competing on the u.s. olympics hockey team in vancouver but it s not the moves on the ice that s catching the speculator spectators. how two simple words on his helmet almost kept him off the rink. and the president has passed this man to be the go-between with the muslim world, but not long ago, he was emfa thighsing with a man convicted of helping one of the world s most dangerous terror groups. professor sammy al ari s link to this man and the administration when we come back. but first, who is sammy al-aliri? his clip from the o reilly factor in 2001. in 19 # eight, you did a little speaking engagement in cleveland, and you re quoted as saying jihad is
