00:00One last question.
00:01Anyone?
00:02Yes, sir.
00:03The president himself has made very clear Iran will never have a nuclear weapon.
00:19They will not be in a position where that they can threaten the peace, not just of Israel,
00:24but all of the people of the rest of the world.
00:28Let's never forget that the Iranians have not simply threatened Israel with extinction,
00:33which they have repeatedly over 46 years, but they have also threatened the United States.
00:39They don't just say death to Israel.
00:41They say death to America.
00:43And there's an old saying that when people tell you over and again they're going to kill
00:47you, you might want to take them seriously.
00:50So I don't think that this is just about Israel.
00:54Israel has often been called the little Satan and the U.S. the great Satan.
00:59I'd put it in simpler terms.
01:01For the Iranians, Israel is the appetizer and the U.S. is the entree.
01:08Whatever happens at the hands of the Iranians to Israel is the intended happening to those
01:14of us in the United States.
01:16Thank you very much.
01:17Pleasure to visit with you.
01:18Thanks for coming out.
