one time governor of barney frank's state, massachusetts. a some what new face, running for president for a while. but he is not like a bob dole or a george h.w. bush who has been around for a long time. take a look at romney. take a look at his vp pick. take a look at the younger republican governor, congressmen, scott walker, mitch

. >> barney, thank you. we now, provide you, bill an opportunity to respond. >> yeah, it is revealing barney has to attack the george h.w. bush administration on israel. the big story, barney presents to the republican party is moving to the right. the big story is republican party has become a reagan republican party with respect to israel and not bush/baker republican party. i served in the first administration, i was dan quayle's chief of staff, and argued with president bush he shouldn't be as tough. end of the day bush did the right thing in the gulf which helped israel. wasn't for the purpose of israel. the first gulf war, helped rise yal's security a lot. some people were opposed to that war and they weren't republicans. i would argue objectively having bush in the white house was actually a better thing than having michael dukakis s in the white house. and nixon didn't get a lot of jewish votes. an awful lot of jews were happy that nixon was president and not mcgovern. the current republican party to

i spent a week trying to get people like barney frank and ru russ feingold.ave a serious debate, argument about foreign policy, national security, which i think is very important. should not be put aside simply on behalf of all the economic issues, entitlement reform, obama care and everything else. i think the ajc poll shows romney doing better among jewish voters than mccain. obama beat mccain in the era of hope and change. 3 1/2 years ago. 72-28 among jewish voters if you allocate undecideds, in the ajc poll it looks like 68-32, 69-31 split among jews this time. if romney can do much better among the country as he looks like he will do among jewish voters he will beat president obama which i think will be a good thing for the country. >> barney. you will have extra time. >> thank you. let me acknowledge the -- the rueful compliment that bill paid me, regretting that i wasn't dumb enough to challenge the p it is only, my refusal to run against the president that would endanger the chances of the public policy i want being accepted. i guess that is just one

you want to start, barney? >> let me say, there was a tendency for us as a country to say everything that doesn't go right is our fault, our responsibility. we have to deal with. but the arab spring has been a serious set of issues for us. the notion that democracy is a good thing is something i believe in morally. but it isn't always created -- clear the consequences are going to be of the right sort. what's happening now in egypt is troubling, with people talking about cutting off the contractor. one of the best things that happened in the middle east, the camp david agreement and willingness of both sides to live up to to the extent that is called into question, that is deeply problematic. i think the administration has been dealing with it fairly reasonably unclueding by the way, let's be clear, people pointed out, neither this administration nor i believe any republican administration has shown any great eager ngs to urge the rulers of bahrain or the rulers of saudi arabia to join the push to democracy. on

. >> please, barney. >>le well, first to be accused by bill, speaking on behalf of the republicans, of insufficient commitment to rational immigration policy is like being called silly by the three stooges. and i mean that with no disrespect. because -- no, to the three stooges. shemp howard born horowitz was married to my cousin, babe frank. >> now that's impressive. >> we never met. >> but the point is -- yes, we have taught immigration and it has been the republicans demagoguing it including mitt romney who has moved far to the right on this. but as to the broader issues, no, i think, again there was extremism, not the republicans. if you look at the house of representatives, if you look at wait they vote on issues they have gone far to the right. and -- the -- the key issue i would have is this. one of the definitionize have, with some of my republican friends, we differ with some conservatives, democrats, as to how much we should continue to maintain an active policy of america having this worldwide

barney frank was clear about that too. the gay community was not holding its money up.unplanned. the vice president, you know, spoke from the heart and the president kind of followed that. but the -- >> wait a second. one point actually mary didn't include. this was going to be on the platform, a platform for gay marriage at the democratic convention. the president had to do it before then. >> i said months and months ago i thought this election would not take place without the president having come out strongly in support of same-sex marriage and mitt romney, strongly reinforcing his opposition and let's talk about sort of as the president's journey, as maggie talked about, the movement of the last several years, the president's journey is much more closely followed the american people. mitt romney has devolved, you know, in 1994 when he was running against ted kennedy, he was going to be better on gay rights than ted kennedy. now he's against everything. >> has he gone -- >> that's not true actually. he's always -- >> it is true. >> he's always believed marriage shoul

/israel relationship. >> barney? you know, is it a referendum on the israel policy, as you said, 22% it's particularly that. i would say that the problem the president started with was, to some ec tent, of his own making. the speech talking about the '67 lines was a badly-crafted speech. and to their credit, they pulled back from it, and the rhetoric is important. but the public policy is also important, and i think what you have is the increasing recognition that there has not been a single policy action that has been less than fully supportive of israel. and i disagree with bill's notion that it was because president obama elevated the notion of a pal palestinian stae that they decided to file the resolution. the palestinian state has been a strong aspect of every president for as long as i can remember, not going back to the first president bush and then bill clinton and then the second president bush. that just is ahistorical. there's been an evolution on the palestinians about trying to push there for things, th

. >> barney frank. >> we tend to be too negative. we have been making progress. the dependence on foreign oil has dropped some. bill is right, the question is not that everything has to be produced internally. we have mexico. we have canada. we have others. there are of course, there is more drilling going on. more production going on right now. than there has been. not on government lands. but of the overall total is up. obviously, alternatives are a parpt part of this. one thing i want to say, we can be too nervous. there is this notion that the fact that we have to import oil from the middle east, constrains our foreign policy. i haven't seen any evidence s of that. and in fact, and one criticism i have of some of my colleague whose want to bomb iran immediately, there is no question, the fact that it is american policy contemplating a military attack on iran nuclear facilities and the fact that american policy has been tough on sanctions is a contribute factor to the increase in the price of the oil and irresponsible not to understand that. not the hugest fac

his reaction was, i'm not saying that because i'm too young to be barney's father. >> barney was great of their daughter who is gay? i thought that was great. only barney can do this ability to jump from one topic to another and point out the inconsistencies of someone's argument. tony perkins was on the show too many times for some people. he argued basically, it's all nurture. we don't know what it is that makes people what they are. the idea that it's all nurture is certainly a strong argument on his part. >> i wanted to play another clip because you kept really drilling down, as did barney, and it was really extraordinary to watch. here's another exchange. >> let me come to dick cheney's defense here, chris. according to mr. perkins, it's dick and lynn cheney's fault their daughter is a lesbian. first of all, i don't think there is anything the matter with it. secondly, the notion that dick and lynn cheney parented in an inferior way to mr. perkins is just one more absurdity. >> i never blamed anyone or accused anyone -- >> back up what he said. he said he taught his children how t

we have barney frank and tony perkins. tony, thanks for coming on and you've been on many times before. let me read something you said recently. you were asked about this. what would you say if one of your kids said that he was gay? and you said, i doubt that would happen with my children as we are teaching them the right way that they are to interact as human beings. well, what do you mean by that? if your kid is gay, he's gay, right? what would you have to do with whether he's gay or not? >> when you look at the social science research, there is not conclusive evidence that this is genetic or biological. it is a complex mix of environmental factors. and when you can control many of those environmental factors, you can teach your kids certain ways, you can protect them from certain experiences and certain things that could happen to them that could lead them down a certain path. >> so parents decide, by the way they raise kids -- >> it is a major fact. what else they suggest is environment that drives a lot of this. not a
