I felt that with him, that he did not trust them at all. And I felt that it was echoed by, but other people like Rabin and I also, Perez, Shimon was saying, you know, we have to get along, always.
That was his, but at the same time, he also said, you cannot trust the Arabs because what they write, what their handwriting, the way they write is very flowery and it doesn't, it's not objective like scientific. That's his interpretation. It was an interesting viewpoint. Even Shimon, who was as humanitarian a person as I know, had distrust of the Arabs. And it's fundamental.
My wife, my first wife, was Lebanese, so I felt differently. I liked them. I spent time in Lebanon before the war, 75. So I have no problem. And like Sean says, I feel like it's closer to the Crusades than it is to a religious issue.
So Netanyahu was the only one that he walked away. Yeah, he was dangerous. Because he had such passion. Such passion. And he had a desire. He was young and strong and amazing stamina. Look at this. He's lasted like Putin. He's lasted 23 some years in business like this. Look what he's done, though. He's... Taking this closer to the nuclear winner than ever.
There's no other person alive that is as dangerous. He's lobbied actively for a war against Iran, which is going to be a war not just against Iran. It's going to be a war against China. It's going to be a war against Russia. It's a very dangerous... Man, I mean, Syria, he's gloating. He's gloating over Syria, but that's not over. He's going to come back and haunt them.
This thing is so ugly, it's gotten out of hand, and that's because of us supporting Israel blindly without ever questioning them. Kennedy questioned them. That was the whole point that, you know, Kennedy said this nuclear thing is going to stop. We're not going to give them nuclear weapons. And he was adamant about it, and he was going to stop it.
When Johnson took over after the assassination, Johnson turned a blind eye to it. When we knew for sure that they had a weapon in 67, Johnson made sure they didn't announce it. The Pentagon did not announce it.
Well, It came at that very strange moment when he's about to go. Remember how close he came to being evicted?
Yes.
Did he learn that from Roy Cohn?
Roy was a drinker, remember, in the movie.
What did you think about it? I saw it twice.
I saw it twice in the first week. I very much enjoyed it. Very well done. What was your impression? I didn't walk away thinking that Trump was the monster of all time. That was part of that whole campaign. That's why the Democrats overdid it. They overdid everything on Trump. The movie flapped. I don't know why it flapped.
I always said to you, if you remember correctly, I said the worst president we've ever had was George W. Bush, George W. Bush. And I told you why. Because he started the whole war on terror. And I said, what's Trump compared to that? Why are the Democrats having this hysteria about derangements? And no one paid attention. But wait until this thing is cleared, if we ever get through it.
We're going to have to look back at that period from 2001. And that phony election with the Chads and all that. That was the worst moment for me in this century. I remember that night so well when I was going south with Scalia jumping in on the Florida thing and saying, there's an irregularity here. And then they suspended the recount. You wanted Gore at that time? I did want Gore, yes.
And I think it was a key election. I thought it was a whole century turned on it in a way. It was a strange date. It was one of those things like the McKinley election in 1900.
Kennedy was monitoring them and saying, what are they doing?
How do you think it's going to be with Trump? I'm worried about that part of it the most. Because I like the possibility. Trump could be, as Sean said, a crusading president. He could be really a change against war. He could move away from all these policies. But his commitment to Israel is insane because it's wholehearted and he has no modification on it.
And he doesn't understand the Arab position. He doesn't understand history, frankly. I wish Sean could spend some time with him.
Give him the Nobel Peace Prize.
