And so that's a risk when you decide to use the justice system that way.

I hope...

that there will come a time when there's enough recognition across party lines that we've gone off the rails, that there will be an openness to a true accounting.

There are people who are committing real crimes, including the President of the United States right now.

Blowing up people in boats who you just suspect may be drug traffickers is a prime example,

time and a huge amount of persuasion.

And more than the persuasion, it's going to take more experience of the awfulness for the American people to get to the point where they're ready for an accounting.

My feeling about this is, there are a couple.

One is...

that there is a tendency all too common to say, well, whatever else he may be, at least he's good for my group.

And that is not a principled position to take, in my opinion.

But also, I think it misses the bigger importance of what

His destructiveness means not just, well, for the Jewish people among many others, because he is destroying the United States as a bulwark of free nations and a strong alliance.

And so even though for now he has taken positions that seem to please the Netanyahu government and supporters of Israel, first of all, he's for sale.

So who knows if that will last?

I mean, it's never about his true beliefs.

It's always about what's good for him.

And certainly there are many

People on the planet who have a lot more to offer him in that regard than the Jews do.

So who knows how long that would last.
