Welcome back to the Dershow. I'm in Israel and in Tel Aviv and meeting with a lot of Israelis,

0:10.0

both ordinary folks and people, high up in every branch of the Israeli government and everybody's

0:18.2

asking me the same question. Many of them admire Donald Trump. Many of them know how much he did for

0:26.3

Israel recognizing Jerusalem recognizing the Golan Heights and how much he did for the Jewish

0:33.2

community, changing the rules relating to whether or not anti-Semitism goes along with racism and

0:43.8

sexism as prohibited college and university activities. Everybody in Israel that I know of

0:51.9

believes that Donald Trump likes Israel and likes the Jewish people. So why did he sit down and have

1:01.4

a meal with two of the most notorious anti-Semites in the world today? First, he invited Kanye West.

1:11.9

Now there's no excuse for that. Kanye West had just said, let's go to death comm 3 for the Jewish

1:23.1

Fuentes. One of the most overt and notorious anti-Semites, he's a Holocaust denier. He compared Jews

2:05.6

being burned to death in ovens with cookies being baked. He is one of these people who

2:12.8

was at Charlottesville saying, they will not replace us. Jews will not replace us. He's basically

2:21.7

a neo-Nazi clansman. Well, President Trump said he was not aware of that. And I believe him.

2:28.4

I believe him. I'm going to give him credit for that, especially because I know Donald Trump,

2:33.5

but I know he's not an anti-Semite. I'm going to give him credit for that. I'm also believing that

2:41.9

at the lunch of dinner, whatever it was, the meal, nobody made an anti-Semitic statement.

2:48.6

I am confident that if Kanye West had sent anything at the meal, anti-Semitic, or if Fuentes had
