00:00Israeli legend and former spy Jonathan Pollard has announced he will join the Israel First Party, led by Knesset member
00:09Sharon Haskell.
00:10This is a massive step into politics for Pollard, who actually joins us now on the broadcast to talk about
00:17this decision.
00:19Jonathan, thank you so much for joining us on the show.
00:22My pleasure. Thank you for having me.
00:24As far as Lebanon is concerned, again, we cannot allow Hezbollah to remain standing at the end of the day.
00:31I've been in favor of pushing our border, officially pushing our border north to the Awali River and not stopping
00:38until Hezbollah is completely destroyed.
00:42As far as Iran is concerned, again, this is a major threat.
00:45We shouldn't be waiting on the United States.
00:49I mean, I don't know what President Trump has up his sleeve.
00:52I mean, I don't even think he knows at this point.
00:55And I've identified what's called a third option for us.
00:59And that option is to go it alone, Israel First.
01:03And we have the resources, we just don't have the willingness to go ahead and take Iran off the map,
01:13so to speak.
01:15We have to destroy the IRGC, not Iran proper, but the IRGC, Hezbollah and Hamas, in order to prepare for
01:26the next war.
01:27I hate to put it that way.
01:29But Turkey and Egypt are coming up next as our major strategic threat in the north and the south.
01:37And unless we have all these other fronts eliminated by that time, we're going to be in a terrible situation.
01:46After everything you've been through, and I can share that on a little bit more of a personal note, I've
01:52had a poster of you up in the house begging to bring you home.
01:58After everything that you've gone through over in the United States, from the intelligence world now to entering politics, what's
02:06one thing that you think that might surprise people who only know the public version of Jonathan Pollard and not
02:14the personal version?
02:15What would surprise them?
02:17I actually have a sense of humor.
