“I’m a negotiator like you [Republican Jewish Coalition members]… Is there anyone in this room who doesn’t negotiate deals? Probably more than any room I’ve ever spoken… You’re not gonna support me even though you know I’m the best thing that could ever happen to Israel. And I’ll be that. And I know why you’re not going to support me. You’re not going to support me because I don’t want your money…
“Jeb Bush… is controlled totally, totally controlled by the people that gave him the money. That’s why you don’t want to give me money, ok? But that’s ok. You want to control your own politician. That’s fine… I would love your support, but I don’t want your money.”

If Shifty Adam Schiff, who is a corrupt politician who fraudulently made up what I said on the “call,” is allowed to release transcripts of the Never Trumpers & others that are & were interviewed, he will change the words that were said to suit the Dems purposes. Republicans…

….should give their own transcripts of the interviews to contrast with Schiff’s manipulated propaganda. House Republicans must have nothing to do with Shifty’s rendition of those interviews. He is a proven liar, leaker & freak who is really the one who should be impeached!

You’re not going to vote for Pocahontas, I can tell you that. You’re not going to vote for the wealth tax. ‘Yeah, let’s take 100 percent of your wealth away.’ No, no. Even if you don’t like me; some of you don’t. Some of you I don’t like at all, actually.

“I have to say this, whatever you [American Jewish leaders] can do in terms of Nov. 3 is going to be very important because if we don’t win, Israel is in big trouble…
“We’re in the Middle East because of Israel…
“Which really amazes me, and I have to tell you, because I saw a poll that in the last election, I got 25% of the Jewish vote and I said here I have a son-in-law and a daughter who are Jewish, I have beautiful grandchildren that are Jewish. I have all of these incredible achievements. I’m amazed that it seems to be almost automatically a Democrat...

“Shockingly, a number of far-left members of Congress have also recently joined the international effort to bully, attack, and denigrate Israel… Make no mistake: Radical lawmakers who support the BDS movement are advancing anti-Israel and anti-Semitic propaganda…
“We’ve also seen far-left members of Congress proliferate dangerous anti-Semitic rhetoric… One lawmaker even wrote that Israel has hypnotized the world, and said, ‘Support for Israel is all about the Benjamins.’ You heard that. And I’ll be honest: That’s one of the nicer statements. Far worse. She said far worse than that, and so did others in Congress.”
