Early election affect our foreign policy specifically with Iran and you can bet that Iranian President Ahmadinejad and the supreme leader will be watching tomorrow's outcome very closely.

My next guest says we could see you -- literally change its ways overnight it Mitt Romney wins.

Ali alternate is a resident fellow at the American enterprise institute and he joins us now with his opinion on all that.

I feel like Iran is hell bent on having -- nuclear weapon and no matter who is president isn't gonna impact that you disagree.

What is should -- huge difference between governor Romney and President Obama ought to truth is that the regime -- -- and does not -- President Obama.

They believe that he's not credit by the individual they believe -- President Obama is someone who gives concessions to Iran.

And by the way -- -- -- also somebody who is not going to use military force against Iran.

Didn't governor Romney on the other hand is -- did that some man in a new a new Ronald Reagan.

Dave feel him they believe -- way it's governor Romney in the -- We're afraid of governor Romney.

I think that his performance in the third presidential debate has may need leadership in Tehran realize that they are facing.

A new type of individual who is ready to stand very very -- lead by US allies particularly Israel.

And is someone who is very different by nature.

Big to -- say -- big -- Qaeda compared to pres Obama.

So what do you think he would do on day one that would stop Iran in its tracks.

What he has -- upset that he is steady to toughen the sanctions which are already in place.

And I also believe that's it would -- sufficient signals to attack Iran.

That they really need to capitulated their nuclear program.

That they have absolute mean no opportunity T.

To once more to use begin laying techniques in order to give some kind of -- negotiations.

In order to to gain time.

Let's not forget the right now president Obama's government is engaged in secret talks -- Iraq.

All that sends the wrong signals to the regime in Tehran because they believed that they can gain -- still having this kind negotiations.

I hear you but it it -- statement Romney were elected he came in with an iron fist would not just caused them to accelerate their -- and say we better do this quick because now the US isn't messing around and they just get to the bomb quicker.

The regime has used a different strategy -- as a matter of fact bit of a BC and -- feast.

They actually change policy.

For example in nineteen ATA to -- this regime.

Chose peace with Iraq because they knew that the United States was not going to allow -- -- republic to win over Iraq in the late 1980s.

So be leader of Iran I -- grand Ayatollah Khomeini chills tool.

Drink from the chat us up poison and accept peace over continue our fair.

This regime is not suicidal the F thinking about their -- by -- and if they believe that a governor Romney.

In the White House would mean the death and destruction to them.

They would change their policies aren't interesting -- they -- so much for coming -- we appreciate your time.

Thank you.

Next on money some people say neither President Obama.
