Defiant Netanyahu promises to go to New York after Mamdani threats

[0:01] NOBODY WAS ABLE TO BRING PEOPLE [0:02] TOGETHER QUITE LIKE MY FRIEND, [0:04] THE LATE CENTER LINDSEY GRAHAM. [0:06] TODAY WAS NO EXCEPTION. [0:08] AFTER TODAY'S SERVICE, I SAT WITH [0:10] SOMEONE WHO FLEW FROM THE MIDDLE [0:11] EAST TO BE HERE, THE ISRAELI [0:13] PRIME MINISTER, BENJAMIN [0:14] NETANYAHU. [0:15] MR. PRIME MINISTER, GREAT TO [0:17] SEE YOU AGAIN, MY FRIEND. [0:18] GOOD TO SEE YOU. [0:21] I MENTIONED TODAY, DURING [0:22] LINDSEY'S EULOGY, WE HAVE KNOWN [0:25] EACH OTHER FOR 30 YEARS. [0:26] I CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S BEEN THAT [0:28] LONG. [0:28] YOU WERE REMINDING ME OF A STEAK [0:30] DINNER WE ONCE HAD MANY, MANY [0:33] YEARS AGO. [0:33] I REMEMBER THAT. [0:34] AND YOU KNOW, LIKE GOOD WINE, [0:36] YOU'VE IMPROVED WITH AGE. [0:38] BUT I HAVE TO SAY, YOU GAVE, I [0:39] MEAN, THE PRESIDENT GAVE AN [0:40] AMAZING SPEECH. [0:41] YOU GAVE AN AMAZING SPEECH. [0:43] THANK YOU. [0:44] AND IT WAS SO MOVING IN THE [0:45] WASHINGTON CATHEDRAL. [0:47] BECAUSE LINDSEY, LINDSEY GRAHAM [0:49] WAS A GREAT AMERICAN PATRIOT, A [0:53] GREAT CHAMPION OF THE AMERICAN [0:54] ISRAEL ALLIANCE. [0:55] AND LET ME TELL YOU, WE LOST A [0:58] DEAR, DEAR FRIEND. [0:59] AND HE WAS, AS YOU AND THE [1:01] PRESIDENT DESCRIBED HIM, YOU [1:04] KNOW, HE WAS JUST GLORIOUSLY [1:05] OUTRAGEOUS. [1:06] HE JUST SAID WHAT HE WANTED TO [1:08] SEE. [1:08] HE WAS CHARMINGLY OUTRAGEOUS. [1:11] HE COULD USE SWEAR WORDS AND HE [1:13] COULD SAY IT LIKE IT IS. [1:14] AND HE LOVED HIM. [1:16] YOU KNOW, IT'S AMAZING. [1:18] I THINK I'M ACCURATE IN SAYING [1:21] THIS, THAT LINDSEY WAS PRESIDENT [1:23] TRUMP'S CLOSEST FRIEND IN ALL OF [1:25] CONGRESS. [1:26] THAT MEANS THE HOUSE AND THE [1:27] SENATE. [1:27] THEY PLAYED GOLF TOGETHER. [1:29] THEY TALKED TOGETHER. [1:30] THEY ARGUED TOGETHER. [1:31] THEY HAD MEALS TOGETHER. [1:33] AND THEY HAD A VERY SPECIAL [1:35] RELATIONSHIP. [1:35] AND IT WAS OPEN AND IT WAS HONEST. [1:38] YOU KNOW, THE ONE THING THAT I [1:40] SAID ABOUT LINDSEY AND IT'S TRUE. [1:44] HE WAS A STAUNCH SUPPORTER OF [1:46] YOURS, A STAUNCH SUPPORTER OF [1:48] ISRAEL, A STAUNCH SUPPORTER OF [1:50] THE PEOPLE OF ISRAEL. [1:52] AND, BUT HE KNEW THAT EVIL [1:56] EXISTS IN OUR TIME. [1:59] AND, AND HE AND THE PRESIDENT [2:03] TALKED A LOT ABOUT HOW TO CONFRONT [2:05] THE EVIL OF THIS MOMENT. [2:07] I CAN TELL YOU THAT HE SPOKE [2:09] ABOUT IT WITH ME MANY TIMES. [2:11] AND HE WAS ABSOLUTELY [2:12] UNAPOLOGETIC AND UNABASHED IN [2:15] SUPPORTING THE AMERICAN ISRAEL [2:16] ALLIANCE BECAUSE HE BELIEVED THAT [2:18] ISRAEL SECURITY AND AMERICA'S [2:20] SECURITY WERE INTERTWINED. [2:20] AND YOU GOT PROOF OF THAT WHEN [2:22] WE FOUGHT SHOULDER TO SHOULDER [2:25] AGAINST THIS MURDEROUS REGIME IN [2:27] IRAN THAT CHANCED DEATH TO [2:28] AMERICA, DEATH TO ISRAEL. [2:29] AND WHEN WE COMBINE OUR FORCES [2:31] AND OUR BRAVE SOLDIERS, YOU KNOW, [2:33] NOTHING CAN STAND IN OUR WAY. [2:35] AND, AND HE BELIEVED THAT. [2:36] AND HE JUST SAID IT LIKE IT IS. [2:38] HE COULDN'T CARE ABOUT THE [2:40] WINDS OF FASHION. [2:41] HE COULDN'T CARE ABOUT SOCIAL [2:43] MEDIA AND ALL THESE BOTS THAT [2:45] ARE USED TO TRY TO, YOU KNOW, [2:47] PLAY THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. [2:49] HE SAID YOU HAVE ONE REAL ALLY [2:52] IN THE MIDDLE EAST AND IN THE [2:54] WORLD, ISRAEL. [2:55] IT'S YOUR FIGHTING ALLY. [2:56] IT'S YOUR MODEL ALLY. [2:57] AND HE JUST SAID IT. [2:58] AND HE COULDN'T, YOU KNOW, HE [3:00] JUST DIDN'T SUFFER FOOLS. [3:01] HISTORY WILL, WILL JUDGE THE [3:04] MILITARY RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN [3:05] ISRAEL UNDER DONALD TRUMP, [3:07] PRESIDENT TRUMP, AND ISRAEL [3:08] UNDER PRIME MINISTER NETANYAHO [3:10] VERY FAVORABLY. [3:11] I DON'T THINK THE WORLD'S SEEN [3:13] ANYTHING LIKE IT. [3:14] AND, YOU KNOW, I DON'T THINK THE [3:16] WORLD'S SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT. [3:18] AND, YOU KNOW, YOU MET WITH THE [3:21] PRESIDENT TODAY. [3:22] YEAH. [3:23] HOW DID THAT MEETING GO? [3:26] IT WAS ONE OF THE BEST MEETINGS [3:28] THAT WE'VE HAD. [3:29] AND I ALWAYS, YOU KNOW, I ALWAYS [3:31] HATE TO DISAPPOINT OUR WOULD-BE [3:33] CRITICS WHO ARE TRYING TO FIND, [3:35] YOU KNOW, CRACKS IN OUR [3:37] ALLIANCE. [3:38] AND WHAT THEY FIND, LIKE TODAY, IS [3:40] A WALL OF GRANITE, YOU KNOW, [3:43] BECAUSE THE PRESIDENT IS SO [3:44] CLEAR. [3:45] I MEAN, HE'S SO... [3:46] WE HAVE A COMMON COMMITMENT. [3:48] WE DON'T WANT TO SEE THIS FANATIC [3:50] REGIME IN TEHRAN HAVE NUCLEAR [3:52] WEAPONS TO THREATEN EVERY [3:54] AMERICAN AND TO THREATEN THE [3:57] PEACE OF THE WORLD AND TO [3:58] THREATEN THE EXISTENCE OF [3:59] ISRAEL. [4:00] SO WE HAVE A COMMON GOAL. [4:01] AND IT'S GOING TO BE ACHIEVED, [4:02] EITHER THROUGH DIPLOMATIC MEANS [4:03] OR OTHER MEANS, BUT WE'RE BOTH [4:06] COMMITTED TO THAT. [4:07] AND THAT'S WHAT, THAT'S THE [4:09] MAIN HEADLINE THAT I WOULD TELL [4:10] YOU FROM THIS MEETING. [4:11] DO YOU BELIEVE THAT THERE ARE [4:13] WARING FACTIONS? [4:14] DO YOU HAVE HARD LINERS AND [4:16] FORMER LOYALISTS TO ALI [4:18] HOMMUNI, THE FORMER SUPREME [4:19] LEADER? [4:20] AND DO YOU HAVE MORE [4:21] MODERATES? [4:22] DO YOU BELIEVE THERE ARE [4:24] MODERATES THAT WOULD LIKE A [4:26] DEAL AND A BETTER IRAN? [4:27] WELL, I'M SKEPTICAL ABOUT [4:29] THE DEAL AND I SAY IT [4:30] OPENLY, BUT THE ONLY WAY IT [4:32] WOULD BE ACHIEVED IS IF YOU [4:34] UNDERSTOOD THESE VARIOUS [4:36] FACTIONS, I THINK THEY'RE NOT [4:38] IDEOLOGICAL FACTIONS AS MUCH [4:40] AS THEY DIFFER ON THE [4:41] ASSESSMENT OF HOW TOUGH WE ARE. [4:44] THAT'S IT. [4:46] YOU KNOW? [4:47] THOSE WHO THINK THAT THE [4:49] PRESIDENT IS VERY TOUGH AND [4:50] THEY SHOULD, YOU KNOW, THEY [4:52] SAY, LET'S NOT CONFRONT THIS [4:53] GUY. [4:54] AND THOSE WHO THINK, NO, YOU [4:56] KNOW, WE CAN PLAY AMERICA, [4:57] YOU KNOW, THEY TEND TO BE, YOU [4:59] KNOW, THEY TEND TO BE MORE [5:01] DEMANDING. [5:02] BUT I THINK IN THE END, IT'S [5:04] OUR RESOLVE. [5:05] IT'S OUR COMMON RESOLVE TO MAKE [5:07] SURE THAT IRAN DOESN'T GET [5:09] NUCLEAR BOMBS TO THREATEN EVERY [5:10] AMERICAN WITH. [5:12] AND I THINK THE PRESIDENT IS [5:13] ABSOLUTELY STRAIGHT ON THIS. [5:15] AND I REALLY DEEPLY RESPECT HIM [5:17] FOR THAT. [5:18] SEEMS LIKE EVERY TIME A DEAL [5:21] SEEMS SOMEWHAT IMMINENT, THOSE [5:23] HARDLINERS COME IN AND THEY WANT [5:24] TO MUDDY UP THOSE WATERS AND [5:26] PREVENT THAT DEAL FROM EVER [5:27] HAPPENING. [5:28] THEY'LL ATTACK SHIPS IN THE [5:30] STRAIGHT OF HORMOZ, THEY'LL [5:32] ATTACK OTHER COUNTRIES IN YOUR [5:34] REGION OF THE WORLD IN THE [5:35] MIDDLE EAST. [5:36] THEY'LL JUST FIND SOME WAY TO [5:39] MUDDY THE WATERS. [5:40] WHILE I BELIEVE THAT THE IRANIUM [5:42] REGIME AND THE HARDLINERS ARE [5:43] EVIL, I DON'T BELIEVE THEY'RE [5:44] STUPID. [5:45] THEY KNOW YOU HAVE AN ELECTION, [5:48] THEY KNOW WE HAVE A MIDTERM [5:49] ELECTION. [5:50] WHY DO I BELIEVE IN MY HEART [5:52] THAT THEY FACTOR THAT IN? [5:55] WELL, IF THEY DO OR NOT, THEY [5:57] SHOULD KNOW THAT WE, IF WE ARE [5:59] ATTACKED, WE'LL RESPOND WITH [6:00] TERRIFIC FORCE. [6:01] THEY LEFT YOU OUT OF THE LAST [6:03] ROUND OF ATTACKS. [6:04] YEAH. [6:05] ANY REASON, ANY THEORY WHY? [6:08] BECAUSE OF WHAT I JUST SAID. [6:09] BECAUSE OF WHAT I JUST SAID. [6:11] BUT I'LL TELL YOU ONE OTHER [6:12] THING. [6:13] LOOK AT THIS REGIME TODAY. [6:15] IT'S ATTACKING EVERYBODY IN [6:16] SIGHT. [6:17] IT'S ATTACKING SAUDI ARABIA. [6:19] IT'S ATTACKING KUWAIT. [6:20] IT'S ATTACKING BAHRAIN. [6:22] IT'S ATTACKING THE U.A.E. AND [6:24] OTHERS. [6:25] IT'S ATTACKING EVERYTHING IN [6:27] SIGHT. [6:28] AND IT MURDERED AND MAIMED TENS [6:30] OF THOUSANDS OF ITS OWN [6:31] CITIZENS. [6:32] THIS IS WHAT THIS REGIME IN [6:34] IRAN DOES TODAY WHEN IT DOESN'T [6:36] HAVE NUCLEAR WEAPONS. [6:37] NOW IMAGINE WHAT THEY WILL DO [6:39] TO THE WORLD IF THEY HAD [6:41] NUCLEAR WEAPONS. [6:42] AND THAT'S WHAT WE HAVE TO MAKE [6:43] SURE THAT WE PREVENT. [6:45] AND I THINK WE'RE SO CLEAR-MINDED [6:47] ABOUT IT. [6:48] AND I JUST RESPECT OUR [6:50] ALLIANCE AND THE COMMON CAUSE [6:52] THAT WE PURSUE. [6:53] AND I HAD TO DISAPPOINT PEOPLE [6:54] WHO ARE LOOKING FOR, YOU KNOW, [6:56] WHO ARE LOOKING FOR DIVISIONS [6:58] AMONG US. [6:59] BECAUSE THE PRESIDENT AND I SEE [7:01] THIS EYE TO EYE VERY STRONGLY. [7:02] SOUNDS LIKE AT A GOOD MEETING [7:03] TODAY. [7:04] IT WAS. [7:05] I'M GOING TO SKIP AROUND A [7:08] LITTLE BIT BECAUSE I'M GOING [7:09] TO TAPE A LITTLE BIT MORE FOR [7:10] THE PODCAST. [7:11] THE INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL [7:12] COURT, YOU DON'T RECOGNIZE [7:14] IT. [7:15] WE DON'T RECOGNIZE IT. [7:16] PERSONALLY, I FIND A LOT OF [7:19] THESE INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS [7:21] TO BE USELESS. [7:22] THE U.N. I THINK HAS BEEN [7:24] HISTORICALLY ANTI-AMERICAN AND [7:26] ANTI-SEMITIC. [7:27] I DON'T BELIEVE IN THE WEF. [7:29] I'M NOT A FAN OF THE PARIS [7:31] SACRORDS, ANY OF THESE [7:33] GLOBALIST ORGANIZATIONS. [7:34] AND THEY DON'T HAVE ANY [7:37] AUTHORITY. [7:38] AND YOU'VE GOT THIS LUNATIC MAYOR [7:41] IN NEW YORK THINKING YOU MAY GET [7:43] ARRESTED IF YOU GO TO NEW YORK, [7:45] WHICH WILL NEVER HAPPEN. [7:47] FIRST OF ALL, I'M GOING TO [7:48] NEW YORK. [7:49] YEAH. [7:50] I'D LOVE TO SEE YOU THERE [7:51] WHEN I GO TO THE U.N. IN [7:52] SEPTEMBER. [7:53] YOU KNOW, I MOVED TO FLORIDA. [7:54] YOU CAN TAKE A PLANE. [7:55] I'LL COME UP. [7:56] YOU'VE COME TO WASHINGTON, SO [7:58] YOU CAN GO THERE. [7:59] BUT I'M DEFINITELY GOING [8:00] THERE. [8:01] I'M GOING TO SPEAK THE TRUTH IN [8:02] FRONT OF THIS. [8:04] YOU KNOW, THERE'S JUST HATE [8:05] SPEWING ELECTED OFFICIAL WHO'S [8:09] PITTING ONE GROUP OF NEW YORKERS [8:12] AGAINST THE OTHERS. [8:13] HE'S TURNING THEM AGAINST NEW [8:15] YORK JEWS. [8:16] I MEAN, WHAT ARE WE, IN THE [8:17] 1930S? [8:18] WHAT IS THIS? [8:19] SO MUCH HATE. [8:20] SO MANY LIES. [8:21] AND YOU KNOW THE BIG LIE IS [8:23] ABOUT THE ICC, THE INTERNATIONAL [8:25] CRIMINAL SO-CALLED? [8:26] THAT'S A CORRUPT, EVIL OR [8:27] ORGANIZATION. [8:29] IT HAD A PROSECUTOR WHO ISSUED [8:32] ARREST WARRANTS AGAINST ME AND [8:35] OUR FORMER DEFENSE MINISTER AS [8:37] WAR CRIMINALS SUPPOSEDLY FOR [8:39] STARVATION, STARVING THE PEOPLE [8:41] OF GAZA. [8:42] WE GAVE A MILLION TONS OF FOOD [8:46] FOR THEM. [8:48] BUT HE DECIDED TO DO THAT. [8:49] AND WE DIDN'T KNOW WHY DID HE [8:50] DO THAT? [8:51] HE WAS GOING TO COME TO ISRAEL [8:53] AND HE SAID, YOU KNOW, WE [8:54] SHOULDN'T RUSH TO JUDGMENT [8:55] ISRAEL AS AN INDEPENDENT [8:56] JUDICIARY. [8:57] AND THEN BAM, ON THE DAY THAT [8:59] HE'S SUPPOSED TO COME, HE [9:01] CANCELS THE VISIT. [9:03] WE DIDN'T KNOW WHY. [9:04] IT TURNS OUT THAT A FEW DAYS [9:05] BEFORE THAT, THIS CHIEF OF [9:08] STAFF SAID, YOU KNOW, THERE'S [9:10] THIS FEMALE MEMBER, EMPLOYEE OF [9:13] YOURS THAT IS GOING TO CHARGE [9:14] YOU WITH SEXUAL ASSAULT. [9:16] AND THIS CORRUPT PROSECUTOR, [9:18] HIS NAME IS KARIM KHAN, HE [9:20] DECIDED THE ONLY WAY HE'S [9:21] GOING TO GET OUT OF THIS IS TO [9:22] DO, FORGET THE EXPRESSION, TO [9:23] DO A KHAN JOB ON THE [9:25] INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY. [9:26] LET ME BASH ISRAEL, LET ME [9:29] CANCEL MY VISIT, CANCEL ALL THE [9:30] GOOD THINGS I SAID ABOUT ISRAEL'S [9:32] JUDICIAL CAPACITY AND LET'S BE [9:34] CAREFUL ABOUT RUSHING TO [9:35] JUDGMENT. [9:36] RUSH TO JUDGMENT, ACCUSE THE [9:38] PRIME MINISTRY OF ISRAEL WITH [9:40] WAR CRIMES AND THAT WAY I'LL BE [9:42] PROTECTED BY THE ANTI-ISRAEL [9:43] CROWD THAT POPULATES THE [9:45] INTERNATIONAL COURT AND A LOT [9:46] OF THESE INTERNATIONAL [9:47] INSTITUTIONS. [9:48] WELL, GUESS WHAT HAPPENED? [9:50] ANOTHER FEMALE EMPLOYEE CAME OUT, [9:51] ALSO CHARGED HIM WITH SEXUAL [9:52] ASSAULT, AND HE'S BEEN REMOVED, [9:54] HE'S BEEN FIRED. [9:55] SO HE THOUGHT, YOU KNOW, IF I [9:57] ISSUE, YOU KNOW, IF I ISSUE [10:00] THESE CHARGES, I'LL BE SAFE. [10:01] WELL, HE ISSUED THE CHARGES AND [10:03] HE'S NOT SAFE. [10:04] BUT IT STILL SHOWS YOU HOW [10:06] CORRUPT. [10:07] HOW CORRUPT AND HOW VILE THIS [10:10] INTERNATIONAL COURT IS. [10:12] BUT IT SCARES ME IN THIS SENSE [10:15] FOR YOU. [10:16] YOU TRAVEL INTERNATIONALLY. [10:18] YEAH. [10:19] GOD FORBID YOU HAD A MEDICAL [10:22] EMERGENCY AND YOU NEED TO LAND. [10:24] AND YOU'RE ABOUT TO LAND IN A [10:26] COUNTRY THAT RECOGNIZES THE ICC. [10:27] IT COULD COMPLICATE THINGS. [10:29] DO YOU WORRY ABOUT THAT? [10:30] YEAH, I THINK ABOUT IT. [10:32] YOU KNOW, WE HAVE SPECIAL [10:34] FORCES AROUND, YOU KNOW, I [10:35] SERVED FOR FIVE YEARS. [10:36] THE IDF IS PRETTY TOUGH. [10:38] THEY HAVE A VERY TOUGH REPUTATION. [10:40] LET'S GIVE THEM A NEW TASK. [10:42] YEAH, OF COURSE. [10:43] LOOK, IT'S THE CORRUPTION OF [10:45] THEM. [10:46] IT'S AN UNELECTED BUREAUCRACY THAT [10:49] SITS IN THE HAGUE THAT COULD [10:51] ARREST AMERICAN SOLDIERS BECAUSE [10:52] YOU DON'T RECOGNIZE THIS [10:53] CORRUPT BODY ANY MORE THAN WE [10:54] DO. [10:56] AND THEY COULD SAY THAT THE [10:58] PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED [10:59] STATES IS A WAR CRIMINAL, THAT [11:01] AMERICAN SOLDIERS VALIANTLY [11:02] FIGHTING NEXT TO US, SHOULDER [11:04] TO SHOULDER AGAINST THE [11:06] TYRANY IN TERRAN. [11:07] THEY COULD PICK THEM UP. [11:09] THE 45,000 DEAD IRANIANS THAT [11:11] WERE KILLED BY THE IRANIAN [11:12] LEADERSHIP, WERE THEY EVER [11:13] CHARGED? [11:14] NO, OF COURSE NOT. [11:15] THEY DON'T CHARGE THEM. [11:16] THEY DON'T CHARGE THEM. [11:17] THEY DON'T CHARGE THEM. [11:18] THEY DON'T CHARGE THEM. [11:19] THEY DON'T CHARGE THEM. [11:20] THEY DON'T CHARGE ALL THESE [11:22] OTHER TERROR PROCLES. [11:23] YEAH, SUPPOSEDLY, THEY CHARGE [11:24] HAMAS, BUT A GUY WHO IS ALREADY [11:28] DEAD, YOU KNOW? [11:29] IT'S FAKE. [11:31] IT'S ONE BIG FAKE.
