| 0:00.0 | 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 | people. My God, can you make a statement? That's more anti-Semitic than that. It was all over the |

| 1:55.0 | 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 |
| 2:56.3 | said it, former President Trump would have jumped all over them. He is not an anti-Semite. He's lived |
