And in the back, did I hear JFK? [0:03](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/9Uc3w9gXaIUJ/en/jfk-files-and-israel-s-nuclear-weapons-raised-at-press-briefing?t=3) JFK. Because interestingly, uh, no one, uh, we haven't brought that up yet, so let's, let's give that a try here. [0:07](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/9Uc3w9gXaIUJ/en/jfk-files-and-israel-s-nuclear-weapons-raised-at-press-briefing?t=7) Yeah, thank you. Who, who is, who is, who is- Yeah. [0:10](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/9Uc3w9gXaIUJ/en/jfk-files-and-israel-s-nuclear-weapons-raised-at-press-briefing?t=10) JFK. So who is, keeps saying JFK? Excellent. Thank you. [0:13](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/9Uc3w9gXaIUJ/en/jfk-files-and-israel-s-nuclear-weapons-raised-at-press-briefing?t=13) In the back. All right, let's do it. Uh, the JFK assassination's obviously back in the news, and Jefferson Morley of JFK Facts was on Bill O'Reilly's show analyzing some of the documents that the Trump administration has released. One of the revelations that he discussed was the fact that James Angleton, the CIA counterintelligence chief, [0:29](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/9Uc3w9gXaIUJ/en/jfk-files-and-israel-s-nuclear-weapons-raised-at-press-briefing?t=29) had relied on N- on Israelis as part of his e- intelligence, uh, gathering operations, which included monitoring Oswald prior to the assassination. It's indisputable that he kept him under surveillance for four years from 1959 to 1963. These new documents point to an Israeli connection using Israeli agent to monitor Oswald. [0:52](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/9Uc3w9gXaIUJ/en/jfk-files-and-israel-s-nuclear-weapons-raised-at-press-briefing?t=52) As you may be aware, JFK in the summer of 1963 was deeply concerned with Israel acquiring nuclear weapons. [0:58](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/9Uc3w9gXaIUJ/en/jfk-files-and-israel-s-nuclear-weapons-raised-at-press-briefing?t=58) Uh, he had sent a series of letters to Ben-Gurion, Israel's founding prime minister, demanding that Israel allow inspectors. [1:05](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/9Uc3w9gXaIUJ/en/jfk-files-and-israel-s-nuclear-weapons-raised-at-press-briefing?t=65) Ben-Gurion resigned just when he was pressed on the issue by JFK. [1:08](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/9Uc3w9gXaIUJ/en/jfk-files-and-israel-s-nuclear-weapons-raised-at-press-briefing?t=68) Uh, uh, something I can say to this. Yeah, yeah, I do. I do. [1:11](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/9Uc3w9gXaIUJ/en/jfk-files-and-israel-s-nuclear-weapons-raised-at-press-briefing?t=71) You want me to say something? I do. I got a question for you. [1:12](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/9Uc3w9gXaIUJ/en/jfk-files-and-israel-s-nuclear-weapons-raised-at-press-briefing?t=72) All right. Israel continued stalling the inspections- All right ... and JFK was, of course, assassinated in November. [1:18](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/9Uc3w9gXaIUJ/en/jfk-files-and-israel-s-nuclear-weapons-raised-at-press-briefing?t=78) Every president since has adopted Israel's policy of refusing to acknowledge the existence of Israel's nuclear arsenal. [1:26](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/9Uc3w9gXaIUJ/en/jfk-files-and-israel-s-nuclear-weapons-raised-at-press-briefing?t=86) My question to you is, will this administration finally do so? [1:31](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/9Uc3w9gXaIUJ/en/jfk-files-and-israel-s-nuclear-weapons-raised-at-press-briefing?t=91) Boy, that was... We went from JFK from, and then to now, uh, Israel's nuclear arsenal. [1:35](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/9Uc3w9gXaIUJ/en/jfk-files-and-israel-s-nuclear-weapons-raised-at-press-briefing?t=95) Will you acknowledge Israel has nuclear weapons? [1:36](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/9Uc3w9gXaIUJ/en/jfk-files-and-israel-s-nuclear-weapons-raised-at-press-briefing?t=96) No, I, I, I understand. I understand. Um, uh, what I, here's what I will tell you about the JFK files, um, uh, is- I'm not asking about the JFK files ... there's about 80... Uh, excuse me, sir. [1:47](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/9Uc3w9gXaIUJ/en/jfk-files-and-israel-s-nuclear-weapons-raised-at-press-briefing?t=107) Uh- Yeah. Please. Thank you. About 80,000 pages of unredacted records related to the Kennedy assassination are currently being released, and I think that they've finished at this point, um, by order of President Trump. [1:59](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/9Uc3w9gXaIUJ/en/jfk-files-and-israel-s-nuclear-weapons-raised-at-press-briefing?t=119) Uh, we know that also, as I'd been asked before, if there was any other material anywhere, this is it. This is all the material. [2:06](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/9Uc3w9gXaIUJ/en/jfk-files-and-israel-s-nuclear-weapons-raised-at-press-briefing?t=126) It's out, and again, unredacted. Uh, and so that's good news. [2:11](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/9Uc3w9gXaIUJ/en/jfk-files-and-israel-s-nuclear-weapons-raised-at-press-briefing?t=131) Uh, for my generation, this is also good news cer- certainly as you grow up, um, with that kind of a dynamic that happened in this country, and now of course, we're happily, we happily can say that, um, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is, is, uh, contributing to the nature of our nation and making a difference as [2:25](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/9Uc3w9gXaIUJ/en/jfk-files-and-israel-s-nuclear-weapons-raised-at-press-briefing?t=145) well. Uh, as far as the speculation and conspiracy theories about what was happening regarding that, uh, assassination and in the decades that followed, I have no comment for you, and nor am I going to speculate or comment on that. [2:38](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/9Uc3w9gXaIUJ/en/jfk-files-and-israel-s-nuclear-weapons-raised-at-press-briefing?t=158) So you will not acknowledge that Israel has nuclear weapons? [2:38](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/9Uc3w9gXaIUJ/en/jfk-files-and-israel-s-nuclear-weapons-raised-at-press-briefing?t=158) But I, I appreciate you being here and, uh, asking that. [2:41](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/9Uc3w9gXaIUJ/en/jfk-files-and-israel-s-nuclear-weapons-raised-at-press-briefing?t=161) At the end. At the end. Yes, sir. Go ahead, please. [2:42](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/9Uc3w9gXaIUJ/en/jfk-files-and-israel-s-nuclear-weapons-raised-at-press-briefing?t=162) No, no straight talk on Israel. Thank you. Go ahead. [2:44](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/9Uc3w9gXaIUJ/en/jfk-files-and-israel-s-nuclear-weapons-raised-at-press-briefing?t=164) Thank you so much. Um, Bangladesh. Uh, yeah, please, please. Let's, let's keep going. [2:47](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/9Uc3w9gXaIUJ/en/jfk-files-and-israel-s-nuclear-weapons-raised-at-press-briefing?t=167) You're, you're- Thank, thank you, Tammy. On Bangladesh, I have two questions
