catholic family, if you are a jew and you were born into the family but have no relationship with judaism and you don't do any of these things and call your self then at that point you are going to vote left. the jewish population is extraordinarily secular with high income you just described the white leftists they've just been born with a name like feinstein. >> is california a lost cause for republicans? >> yes. to be perfectly frank what i would see as the short road and long road in california. people suddenly wake up in the fact the state is bankrupt and the crimes are going up and they have no water because we spent our water on stupidity instead of infrastructure. why are the businesses moving out of state and the tax base is leaving. all of these things happen and nobody does anything about it. then republicans have to come back and clean it up like what's happening in michigan right now so that's going to take longer for that to happen but it seems like it is accelerating. they keep wanting to run which isn't going to be anything effective here if you want real democrats to vote

to ensure that the best of judaism would thrive. those values in ways came to be my own values. they believed the story of their people gave them a unique perspective among the nations of the world. a unique moral authority and responsibility that comes from having once been a stranger yourself. to a young man like me, grappling with his own identity, recognizing the scars of race here in this nation and inspired by the civil rights struggle the idea that you could be grounded in your history, as israel was, but not be trapped by it, to be able to repair the world, that idea was liberating. the example of israel and its values was inspiring. so when i hear some people say that disagreements over policy belie a general lack of support of israel, i must object. and, i object forcefully.

look for thousands of years, christianity and judaism have taught that sex should be between a man andage relationship. and any deviation from that not just gay marriage but adultery premarital sex, unbiblical divorce is wrong and has consequences. as a culture and individuals we can reject that but we also experience the consequences of that rejection. here on fox news we're always talking about the societal cost of the breakdown of the family. pregnancies, unwed moms absentee fathers, that is an effect. i know what people are saying out there. they are saying pastor are you saying we ought to start teaching morality from the bible and the schools? that's exactly what i'm saying. you're a supreme court junkie megyn, you know this but in 1844 the supreme court in the gerard case said and i'm quoting almost word for word one may not the bible, especially the new testament be taught in the schools as divine revelation where are the purist principle for morality found more than in the new testament. we say, oh we've evolved from that in our legal thinking. i suggest we deinvolved away fro
