HANNITY: Hang on a second.

OBENSHAIN: Yes, actually.

HANNITY: Privately we all know that the Obama administration has done everything they can do to prevent the Israelis from doing what is in their best national security interests which is going to be, you know, pretty obvious pretty soon, in my opinion. And then he talked about Jerusalem being the capital, directly repudiating this idiocy of Jay Carney in the White House last week. So he is drawing lines of distinction that are going to be pretty big in the campaign.

OBENSHAIN: Yes, we will see what Mitt Romney says if he becomes president. That's the idea that he, you know, he's just pandering in such an unbelievable way.

HANNITY: Pandering? Like Barack Obama doesn't pander?

POWERS: You guys can't distinguish between the fact of Barack Obama having a disagreement with the right-wing government and actually Israel. They are not the same thing. All that Barack Obama has done --

HANNITY: You know -- we shouldn't interpret those words he spoke in Cairo the way we do.

POWERS: Because he doesn't roll over for Bibi Netanyahu you think he doesn't support Israel. That's not the point. He has just honestly had an honest conversation with them about settlement and suddenly, you know, we can't -- we can't do that?

And we haven't even talked about how Mitt Romney went over there and insulted the Palestinians and acted like everything in their economy is -- has nothing to do with Israel.

HANNITY: Kate, last word.

OBENSHAIN: There's been nothing honest, Kirsten, about the way this president has handled Israel. Before he became president, he said that Jerusalem was the indisputable capital of Israel and now he says it's not.

What this president has done fundamentally is emboldening Israel's enemies by constantly attacking not Netanyahu, although he's been nasty with him, with Sarkozy, those nasty little comments.

But what he's done is he's told Israel's enemies the United States will turn a blind eye every time that they go after Israel, as they attack them verbally and encourage and foment this opposition particularly among Palestinians and the Muslim Brotherhood. And fundamentally in Iran, we are turning a blind eye against it and we're abandoning our best ally in the world.

HANNITY: Thank you both for being with us. Appreciate you being here.

POWERS: Thank you, Sean.
