00:00 Hello, Joe.
00:02 Well, it's a trying time. We've had
00:07 better days and we'll have better days
00:10 with your help too. Mr. President and Joe, I want to thank you for your
00:14 continued and unequivocal support and the work of your entire administration to support us.
00:20 The Israeli people were deeply moved by
00:25 the emotion that Admiral Kirby showed in his interview yesterday. It was deeply moving and it represented the depth of
00:32 commitment that you have, your administration have, and the American people across the board have for Israel.
00:38 Joe, I want to give you a clear picture of the difficult situation we face.
00:43 We were struck Saturday by an
00:46 attack
00:48 whose savagery I can say we have not seen since the Holocaust. I mean we had hundreds massacred,
00:55 families wiped out in their beds in their homes,
00:58 women brutally raped and murdered, over a hundred kidnapped including children, and
01:04 since we last spoke the extent of this evil,
01:07 it's only gotten worse.
01:10 They took dozens of children,
01:12 bound them up,
01:15 burned them, and
01:17 executed them. They beheaded soldiers.
01:21 They mowed down these youngsters who came to a nature festival and just, you know, like
01:28 put five jeeps around a
01:30 depression in the soil and like Babi Yar, they mowed them down, you know, making sure that they killed everybody.
01:37 This is, we've never seen such savagery in the history of the state and they're even worse than ISIS.
01:44 They're even worse than ISIS.
