Benny Johnson: “Netanyahu should be banned from the White House as far as I'm concerned”
Johnson: “Certainly don't want some other nation to walk into our White House and to lie about an operation to our president. And that's what — that's what happened. That's what Israel did here. It's unforgivable as far as I'm concerned.”

BENNY JOHNSON (HOST): But I'm, frankly, like, utterly sick of any other country being considered over America, and I think that's frankly, like, what people are the most frustrated about right now. It's why I'm really happy to be decoupled, entirely from this region. As far as I'm concerned, close down every single American base and close down most of the American bases across Europe too and every American base in Ukraine. Like, I — like I don't see it. I don't understand it. I don't want it. Like, I think that it's — I think it's good to be a world empire.
I think — I want America to succeed, but I don't ever want it to be something that we do on behalf of other nations. Certainly don't want some other nation to walk into our White House and to lie about an operation to our president. And that's what — that's what happened. That's what Israel did here. It's unforgivable as far as I'm concerned. You should never want that. China doing that, Russia doing that, or if it were the UAE or Saudi Arabia walking in and lying to us and lying to our president and then getting Americans killed, I would also be rightly furious.
So it shouldn't happen anyway. I think that Bibi Netanyahu should be banned from the White House as far as I'm concerned, along with any other world leader, like, that behaves in a duplicitous fashion. And Zelensky should be on that list, obviously. That's what I believe.
