00:00 In a crucial Oval Office address, President Joe Biden asserted that both Hamas and Russian
00:05 President Vladimir Putin pose distinct but common threats of wanting to completely annihilate
00:11 neighboring democracies.
00:13 In a televised speech, Biden emphasized the need for bipartisan support in addressing
00:17 these challenges, declaring that the United States cannot let terrorists like Hamas and
00:22 tyrants like Putin succeed.
00:42 Biden also said that Hamas is a state of purpose for existing, is the destruction of the state
01:08 of Israel, and the murder of Jewish people.
01:11 Hamas does not represent the Palestinian people.
01:13 Hamas uses Palestinian civilians as human shields, and innocent Palestinian families
01:18 are suffering greatly because of them.
01:21 Meanwhile, Putin denies Ukraine has or ever had real statehood.
01:26 He claims the Soviet Union created Ukraine.
01:29 And just two weeks ago, he told the world that if the United States and our allies withdraw
01:34 -- and if the United States withdraw, our allies will as well -- military support for
01:38 Ukraine would have, quote, "a week left to live."
01:41 But we're not withdrawing.
01:43 I know these conflicts can seem far away.
01:45 And it's natural to ask, why does this matter to America?
01:49 So let me share with you why making sure Israel and Ukraine succeed is vital for America's
01:54 national security.
01:55 You know, history has taught us that when terrorists don't pay a price for their terror,
02:01 when dictators don't pay a price for their aggression, they cause more chaos and death
02:06 and more destruction.
02:07 He announced his intention to seek substantial funding from Congress to assist Ukraine and
02:11 Israel, framing it as a strategic investment for America's future as a global leader.
02:17 Biden highlighted the importance of American leadership, alliances, and values in maintaining
02:21 global stability, stating that the U.S. serves as a beacon to the world.
02:27 The president, fresh from his visit to Israel, seeks to garner support for a significant
02:31 funding package, including a whopping $10 billion for Israel's conflict with Hamas and
02:37 $60 billion for Ukraine's battle against Russian aggression.
02:42 The looming threat of a wider Middle Eastern conflict adds complexity to the geopolitical
02:46 landscape, with the U.S. deploying two aircraft carriers in the eastern Mediterranean to deter
02:52 potential involvement from Iran or Hezbollah.
02:56 Biden's speech signifies a pivotal moment as he navigates complex global challenges
03:00 while seeking domestic unity and support.
