SAID "THAT’S TOO COMPLICATED,
I’M GOING TO CHALLENGE HER," AND
A BELIEVER OUT OF THE WATER.
UNBELIEVABLE.
>> Brian: BENJAMIN NETANYAHU,
FORMER AND MAYBE FUTURE
PRIME MINISTER OF ISRAEL.
GREAT TO SEE YOU.
I KNOW YOU ARE VERY FAMILIAR
WITH AMERICAN POLITICS AND
AMERICAN ISSUES AND IMMIGRATION
MEANS A LOT, BUT I KNOW FIRST
AND FOREMOST YOU ARE AS
CONCERNED AS MANY OTHER CLEAR
THINKING PEOPLE ABOUT THE DEAL
WE ARE ABOUT TO REENTER WITH
IRAN ON THIS NUCLEAR
PROLIFERATION.
COULD YOU TELL ME WHAT YOUR
GREATEST CONCERN IS AT THIS
HOUR? >> I THINK THIS IS A HORRIBLE
>> I THINK THIS IS A HORRIBLE
DEAL, A DANGEROUS DEAL THAT WILL
PAVE IRAN’S PATH WITH GOLD.
A GOLDEN-PAVED HIGHWAY TO A
NUCLEAR ARSENAL.
IF IRAN HAS NUCLEAR WEAPONS,
THEY DON’T MERELY THREATEN MY
COUNTRY, ISRAEL, FOR THE ENTIRE
MIDDLE EAST AND AMERICA’S
ALLIES.
THEY THREATEN YOU DIRECTLY,
BECAUSE SIMULTANEOUSLY WITH
DEVELOPING NUCLEAR WEAPONS THEY
ARE DEVELOPING THE MEANS TO
DELIVER THEM.
SO YOU CAN HAVE IRAN GOVERNED BY
THESE FANATIC AYATOLLAHS WHO
WILL HOLD EVERY AMERICAN CITIZEN
HOSTAGE TO NUCLEAR WEAPONS.
I THINK IT’S A THREAT TO THE
PEACE OF THE WORLD AND THAT’S
WHAT THIS HORRIBLE DEAL
FACILITATES.
IT’S EVEN WORSE IN THE FIRST
ONE.
>> Brian: WHY IS IT WORSE?
>> PRESIDENT OBAMA, IN A MOMENT
OF CANDOR, SAID IN AN INTERVIEW
IN 2015 THAT BY 2027, FIVE YEARS
FROM NOW, IRAN WILL HAVE A
BREAKOUT TIME TO A BOND THAT IS
NEAR ZERO.
HIS WORDS, NOT MINE.
AND HE WAS RIGHT.
THIS DEAL IS MUCH CLOSER TO THAT
TIME FRAME AND IT GIVES IRAN
RIGHT NOW, WITHIN TWO YEARS,
THEY CAN DEVELOP WITHIN FOUR
YEARS, STARTING TWO YEARS FROM
NOW, THEY CAN DEVELOP ADDED
ENRICHMENT CAPACITY OF URANIUM.
3500 ADVANCED CENTRIFUGES THAT
IS EACH 10-20 TIMES STRONGER AND
MORE EFFECTIVE THAN WHAT THEY
HAVE.
YOU ARE ADDING AN ENORMOUS
CAPACITY TO ENRICHED URANIUM.
THAT’S A CRITICAL ELEMENT OF
MAKING NUCLEAR BOMBS.
IT GIVES THEM RIGHT NOW HUNDREDS
OF BILLIONS OF DOLLARS, AND BY
THE END OF THE AGREEMENT, A
TRILLION DOLLARS TO PURSUE THEIR
TERROR AND AGGRESSION AGAINST
EVERYONE.
AGAINST YOU, AGAINST US.
THIS IS WHAT THE DEAL GIVES
THEM.
WHAT DOES IT ASK OF THEM?
NOTHING.
IT DOESN’T ASK THEM TO CHANGE
THEIR BEHAVIOR, TO STOP CALLING
FOR THE DESTRUCTION OF ISRAEL,
TO STOP BOMBING THE NEIGHBORING
COUNTRIES LIKE SAUDI ARABIA AND
THE GULF STATES.
IT DOESN’T ASK THEM ANYTHING.
IT DOESN’T STOP THE DEVELOPMENT
OF BALLISTIC MISSILES, AND IT
DOESN’T EVEN GUARANTEE THAT
THEIR SITES WILL BE INSPECTED.
THIS IS A DEAL THAT GIVES THEM
EVERYTHING TO THREATEN ALL OF US
AND GIVE NOTHING TO US IN RETURN
RETURN.
>> Steve: SO THAT’S WHY YOU
ARE CALLING ON THE WHITE HOUSE
TO REJECT THE DEAL.
BUT YOU KNOW THE OBAMA-BIDEN
ADMINISTRATION PEOPLE, A LOT OF
THEM ARE NOW IN THE BIDEN-HARRIS
ADMINISTRATION.
HAVE YOU CALLED JOE BIDEN OR
KAMALA HARRIS OR ANYBODY IN
AUTHORITY AND SAID, "ARE YOU
GUYS CRAZY?"
>> I HAVE TALKED TO
PRESIDENT BIDEN WHEN HE WAS
VICE PRESIDENT AND WHEN HE WAS
PRESIDENT.
I’VE TALKED TO HIM MANY TIMES
ABOUT THE DANGER OF THIS DEAL.
I THINK RIGHT NOW YOU CAN TALK
TO THE ADMINISTRATION BUT I
THINK FROM THEIR POINT OF VIEW
THIS DEAL IS DONE.
WHAT’S IMPORTANT IS TO
UNDERSTAND THIS, DEAL OR NO
DEAL, IF I’M ELECTED -- AND I
THINK THERE’S A VERY GOOD CHANCE
I’LL BE REELECTED A FEW MONTHS
FROM NOW -- WE HAVE TO ENSURE WE
WILL TAKE WHATEVER ACTION IS
NECESSARY TO PREVENT IRAN FROM
DEVELOPING NUCLEAR WEAPONS.
THAT IS MY COMMITMENT.
I HAVE DEDICATED A GOOD PART OF
MY LIFE TO HOLDING BACK THEIR
NUCLEAR PROGRAM IN A VARIETY OF
MEANS AND I WILL CONTINUE THAT
WAY.
I ENCOURAGE THE AMERICAN PUBLIC
IN THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, THE
AMERICAN REPRESENTATIVES, I HOPE
THE ADMINISTRATION, TOO, BUT I
DON’T GIVE IT A BIG CHANCE, NOT
TO SIGN THE DEAL.
BUT IF IT IS SIGNED, TO GET OUT
OF IT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
THAT’S HAPPENED BEFORE AND IT’S
GOING TO HAPPEN AGAIN.
>> Katie: MR. PER MINISTER, WE
KNOW DURING THE PROCESS OF THIS
NEGOTIATION PERIOD, THEY’VE BEEN
BRAGGING THEY’VE MISSED THE
DEADLINE 11 DIFFERENT TIMES IN
VIENNA WITH THE TALKS.
THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION ALLOWED
THEM TO DO THAT WITH NO
CONSEQUENCE.
WE ALSO KNOW THEY TRIED TO CARRY
OUT A NUMBER OF ASSASSINATIONS
ON AMERICAN SOIL THROUGHOUT THIS
PROCESS.
AS YOU SAID, IT SEEMS LIKE THE
DEAL IS GOING TO GET DONE BY THE
BIDEN ADMINISTRATION.
THE MIDDLE EAST NOW, THANKS TO
THE ABRAHAM ACCORDS, HOWEVER THE
COUNTRIES IN THE REGION WORKING
TOGETHER IN WAYS THEY WERE IN
BEFORE SHE PREVENT IRAN FROM GAINING A NUCLEAR WEAPON AND
GAINING A NUCLEAR WEAPON AND
CONTINUING?
>> WE UNDERSTAND THE ENORMOUS
THREAT FOR THESE WEAPONS TO BE
AIMED INITIALLY AT US AND
SUBSEQUENTLY AT YOU.
BUT WE ALL UNDERSTAND THAT.
I DID FASHION, WITH
PRESIDENT TRUMP’S HELP, THE
ABRAHAM ACCORDS THAT MAKE PEACE
BETWEEN ISRAEL AND FOUR OTHER
STATES.
THAT WAS BASED ON THINGS THEY
COULD BRING TO THEIR LIVES, BUT
THE LIVES OF THE CITIZENS, AND
ALSO ON THE FACT THAT WE SHARE A
COMMON INTEREST TO STOP IRAN.
HOW WE STOP THEM IS SOMETHING HE
WILL NOT GET INTO, BUT I WILL
SAY THIS.
IF YOU DON’T HAVE A CREDIBLE
MILITARY THREAT AGAINST IRAN’S
NUCLEAR PROGRAM, YOU ESSENTIALLY
HAVE NOTHING.
WHEN YOU HAVE A CREDIBLE
MILITARY THREAT OR ACTION AS WE
TOOK AGAINST IRAQ AND SYRIA’S
ATTEMPT TO DEVELOP NUCLEAR
WEAPONS, AND AS YOU THREATENED
QADDAFI, IT WORKED.
YOU DIDN’T HAVE SUCH A THREAT
AGAINST NORTH KOREA.
IT DIDN’T WORK.
THEY SIGNED THE NONPROLIFERATION
TREATY, IT’S WORTHLESS.
THESE PEOPLE CHEAT.
IF YOU GET TO THE POINT WHERE
THEY ARE INCHES AWAY FROM
LOADING THEIR ENRICHED URANIUM
INTO THE NUCLEAR CORE OF BOMBS,
YOU HAVE NOTHING YOU CAN DO.
YOU HAVE TO BE PREPARED.
WE ALL HAVE TO BE PREPARED TO
TAKE WHATEVER ACTION IS
NECESSARY WITH A DEALER WITHOUT
A DEAL.
I’M NOT GOING TO BE IN ISRAEL
WITHOUT BEING A SIGNATORY A
PARTNER TO THIS HORRIBLE DEAL.
WE’LL DO WHATEVER IS NECESSARY
TO DEFEND OUR COUNTRY AND OUR
CITIZENS, AND I’M TELLING YOU,
TO DEFEND THE WORLD.
>> Brian: MR. PRIME MINISTER,
AT THEY ARE ALLOWED TO GO BACK
IN THE WORLD STAGE ECONOMICALLY
AND SELL THEIR OIL, THEN GOES
MOSCOW ON STEROIDS, HEZBOLLAH
GOES ON STEROIDS, ISLAMIC JIHAD
DOES ON STEROIDS.
IT ENABLES THE ENTIRE REGION.
WITH THE WEAPON AS URANIUM, TRUE
OR FALSE GOES TO RUSSIA, AND
TRUE OR FALSE, RUSSIA GIVES IT
BACK TO IRAN IF THE NEXT
PRESIDENT DECIDES TO TEAR UP
THIS DEAL LIKE PRESIDENT TRUMP
DID.
THAT’S GOING TO BE THE LEVERAGE
THAT THEY USE IN THIS
ADMINISTRATION AGAINST FUTURE
ADMINISTRATIONS.
>> I THINK WHAT YOU’RE GOING TO
SEE IS NOT ONLY THE VIOLATION
OF -- WELL, YOU DON’T HAVE TO
VIOLATE.
THEY ARE BASICALLY GIVING THEM A
FREEBIE, HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS OF
DOLLARS OF MONEY TO CONTINUE TO
PURSUE THEIR AGGRESSION.
AS 100 WAYS TO GO ABOUT IT, YOU
ARE QUITE RIGHT.
BUT YOU ASKED ME ABOUT THE ARAB
COUNTRIES IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD
AND OTHERS.
LET ME TELL YOU WHAT WILL
HAPPEN.
BECAUSE THEY SEE THAT THE U.S.
IS NOT STANDING UP TO IRAN, I
TELL YOU -- I’M SORRY TO SAY
THIS, I SAID THIS IN MY SPEECH
BEFORE THE JOINT SESSION OF
CONGRESS AND I’M TELLING YOU
THIS AGAIN -- WHAT WILL HAPPEN
IS THAT OTHER COUNTRIES IN THE
MIDDLE EAST WILL PURSUE NUCLEAR
WEAPONS OF THEIR OWN.
SO THIS DEAL WHICH WAS SUPPOSED
TO STOP NUCLEAR WEAPONS IN THE
MIDDLE EAST AND THE
PROLIFERATION OF WEAPONS OF MASS
DEATH IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD AND
BEYOND, IT WILL ACTUALLY CAUSE
THE PROLIFERATION OF NUCLEAR
WEAPONS AND THE MIDDLE EAST WILL
BE CRISSCROSSED BY NUCLEAR
TRIPWIRES.
WE’LL MAKE THE MIDDLE EAST AND
NUCLEAR POWDER KEG.
WHAT SHOULD I TELL YOU -- USE
THE CLINICAL TERM FROM
PSYCHIATRY?
THIS IS MADNESS.
IF IT’S DONE, WE HAVE TO GET OUT
OF IT AS SOON AS YOU CAN.
IN ANY CASE, DEVELOP A
COMBINATION OF A CREDIBLE
MILITARY THREAT COUPLED WITH
PARALYZING SANCTIONS, CRIPPLING
SANCTIONS.
THAT’S THE ONLY WAY TO STOP
THIS.
>> Brian: BUT THE DEAL IS
LIFTING SANCTIONS AND THAT’S THE
PROBLEM.
THANKS FOR JOINING US.
HOPEFULLY PEOPLE ARE LISTENING
TO YOU.
FOR SOME REASON THE BIDEN
ADMINISTRATION KNOWS EVERYTHING
YOU’RE SAYING AND THEY STILL
WANT TO DO THE DEAL, AND I’M NOT
