| 00:00:00 | SPEAKING ASKING THE FIRST QUESTION. |
| 00:00:04 | I HAVE ONE QUESTION FOR YOU DO YOU BELIEVE THAT IRAN, WITH A NUCLEAR CAPACITY, CONSTITUTES AN EXISTENTIAL THREAT TO THE STATE OF ISRAEL? |
| 00:00:26 | >> THE FIRST OF ALL I WOULD SAY NO, I DON'T THINK THERE IS AN EXISTENTIAL THREAT TO ISRAEL. |
| 00:00:31 | I DON'T THINK THAT THE EXISTENCE OF ISRAEL IS AT STAKE. |
| 00:00:37 | I DON'T THINK THERE IS ANY POWER IN THE WORLD WHICH CAN BRING ABOUT THE DEMISE OF THE STATE OF ISRAEL. |
| 00:00:45 | I SAY THIS BECAUSE I BELIEVE IN THIS AND THERE'S A MATTER OF BELIEVE LONELY OF COUNTING SOLDIERS AND ACCOUNTING BOMBS AND. |
| 00:00:57 | I RECALL HOW ISRAEL WAS ESTABLISHED AND CAME INTO BEING. |
| 00:01:01 | I WAS THERE. |
| 00:01:02 | I WAS A YOUNG BOY AT THE TIME AND I WRITE IN WHAT WAS PALESTINE IN APRIL 1948 AND DURING THE WAR OF INDEPENDENCE. |
| 00:01:09 | I CAN TELL YOU THE HEART OF ISRAEL EMERGING FROM THE WORLD AND INDEPENDENCE CONSIDERED LESS THAN 50/50 AND THE SECRETARY OF THE ANNOUNCE THAT THEY HAVE A NUCLEAR CAPACITY YOU BEGIN THE COUNTDOWN TO THE END OF ISRAEL. |
| 00:02:27 | THE ESSENCE OF THE STATEMENT THAT THERE IS AN EXISTENTIAL THREAT, AND I SAY IT VERY CLEAR AND PRACTICAL TERMS IF YOU STAY THERE IS AN EXISTENTIAL THREAT AND IF YOU SEE THAT TOMORROW MORNING THE IRANIANS HAVE A CAPABILITY TO BEGIN THE COUNTDOWN TO THE END OF THE STATE OF ISRAEL AND THIS WILL NEVER BE THE CASE. |
| 00:02:50 | NEVER. |
| 00:02:51 | SO HOW DO WE PROTECT ISRAEL AND THAT INDIVIDUAL WILL BE? |
| 00:02:55 | I WILL NOT GO INTO THE DETAILS. |
| 00:02:57 | I WILL SAY THAT THEY HAVE NUMEROUS CAPACITIES TO DEAL WITH SUCH A SITUATION. |
| 00:03:02 | MILITARY, STRATEGIC AND OTHERWISE. |
| 00:03:05 | AND I DON'T THINK THAT THE IRANIANS WILL BE ABLE TO DO WHAT THEY WANT TO DO AND WE WILL TAKE THE NECESSARY STEPS TO SEE TO IT THAT THEY ARE NOT ABLE TO DO IT. |
| 00:03:17 | I THINK THERE IS A FALLACY IN USING THE SENSE OF AN EXISTENTIAL THREAT TO ISRAEL BECAUSE IT MEANS TO SAY THAT THE IRANIANS HAVE IT IN THEIR CAPACITY OF THE OF A NUCLEAR CAPABILITY. |
| 00:03:33 | IN OTHER WORDS, WE AS IRANIANS OR THE WORLD ARE TELLING THE IRANIANS IF YOU GET THE BOMB YOU WILL HAVE THE CAPACITY TO DESTROY ISRAEL. |
| 00:03:43 | YOU WILL BE IN REACH OF YOUR AIM TO DESTROY ISRAEL, AND I THINK IT IS WRONG FOR THE SIDES TO HAVE ONE SIDE TELLING THE OTHER SIDE YOU KNOW, THERE COULD BE A SITUATION WHERE YOU COULD ACTUALLY KILL ME. |
| 00:03:56 | THAT'S NOT THE WAY TO RUN A WAR OR A STRATEGIC PROGRAM AT ALL. |
| 00:04:02 | SO YOU WOULD SAY TO ME SOME OF WHAT I HAVE SAID LACK SOME SPECIFICS. |
| 00:04:07 | YES, BUT I CANNOT GO INTO SPECIFICS THIS MORNING BECAUSE IF I DID THIS I WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO GO BACK TO ISRAEL. |
| 00:04:15 | [LAUGHTER] BUT I CAN ASSURE YOU THAT WE'VE BEEN ON VERY DIRE STRAITS AND SITUATIONS MANY TIMES IN OUR HISTORY COMING AND WE WILL OVERCOME. |
| 00:04:28 | I WOULD MUCH PREFER THIS NOT TO HAPPEN. |
| 00:04:33 | BUT I WILL TRY TO CONVINCE FROM THEIR POINT OF VIEW FOR THEIR GETTING A NUCLEAR CAPACITY IS A THREAT TO THEM IT MEANS TO SAY THAT WE MUST CRAFT THE STRATEGY TO DO THIS AND WE HAVE TO TALK TO THEM AND WE HAVE TO HAVE DIALOGUE WITH THEM COMING AND I AM A GREAT BELIEVER IN DIALOGUE TALKING TO PEOPLE. |
| 00:05:01 | I WOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN MARRIED HAD I NOT SPOKEN TO MY FUTURE SPELLS AND CONVINCED HER THAT SHE WOULD TAKE ME SERIOUSLY. |
| 00:05:10 | YOU HAVE TO TALK TO PEOPLE AND YOU HAVE TO SPEAK TO THEIR MINDS AND THEIR THOUGHTS AND THEIR FEELINGS AND SO FORTH. |
| 00:05:19 | AND NOT JUST HAMMER THEM ON THE HEAD. |
| 00:05:22 | YOU SHOULD HAMMER THEM ON THE HEAD AS WELL. |
| 00:05:25 | AT THE SAME TIME, ONE HAND USE THE HAMMER AND ON THE OTHER HAND USE IT IN THE EVEN THAT YOU CAN OUTSTRETCHED HAND. |
| 00:05:34 | >> THANK YOU. |
| 00:05:42 | JENEANE? |
