MEGYN KELLY (HOST): But in any event, this is my long analysis on why I think JD [Vance] is fine. And he's probably in a better position than ever to secure the GOP nomination because the non-interventionalists are not going to be backing Marco Rubio. I think they're too worried he shares Trump's ability to get pushed by people like Netanyahu.
KMELE FOSTER (GUEST): Yeah. See, I do wonder about that particular narrative. I mean, it does seem to me that Donald Trump is a guy who makes his own decisions and choices at the moment. I think he seemed to make some determination that there needed to be action in this particular conflict to the extent he made the decision.
(CROSSTALK)
KELLY: Let me jump in, then I'll give it right back to you.
FOSTER: Go ahead. Yeah.
KELLY: Recently we talked about the Britney Hughes [Spears] DWI. She used to date Justin Timberlake, who also had a DWI as luck would have it. But in any event --
FOSTER: OK.
KELLY: Justin Timberlake, according to Britney Spears' memoir, pushed her into having an abortion of a baby that they got pregnant with. Now he pushed her and pushed her and she didn't want to do it, but she says he really pushed her and she did it. So was that Britney's decision? Yes, it was. But if Justin Timberlake hadn't pushed and pushed her, would she have done it? No, she wouldn't have. It's the same thing.
There's no question Bibi pushed Trump into this. Yes, that doesn't excuse Trump, it was President Trump's decision, totally, of course. But how does that absolve Bibi Netanyahu for being the primary pusher of this war? It was his brainchild. It was his dream for decades. He was at the White House seven times pushing it. He had Lindsey Graham advising him on how to push it, how to manipulate Trump into it. Like, there's just no question. And then, ultimately, they were the final catalyst of it around when we would do it, according to Marco Rubio and Mike Johnson and Trump. So it's like that doesn't — neither man is absolved. But there's no question that but for Bibi Netanyahu, we would not have done this now.
