00:00For all we know, Iran is funding the anti-Israel protests that are going on right now outside this building.
00:08Not that many, but they're there and throughout the city.
00:12Well, I have a message for these protesters.
00:15When the tyrants of Tehran, who hang gays from cranes and murder women for not covering their hair,
00:22are praising, promoting and funding you, you have officially become Iran's useful idiots.
00:29Let them go! Let them go! Let them go!
00:38Some of these protesters, and it's amazing, absolutely amazing,
00:42some of these protesters hold up signs proclaiming gays for Gaza.
00:48They might as well hold up signs saying chickens for KFC.
00:53Let them go! Let them go! Let them go!
01:07Like December 7th, 1941, and September 11th, 2001,
01:14October 7th is a day that will forever live in infamy.
01:20It was the Jewish holiday of Simchat Torah.
01:23It began as a perfect day, not a cloud in the sky.
01:27Thousands of young Israelis were celebrating at an outdoor music festival.
01:33And suddenly, at 6.29am, as children were still sleeping soundly in their beds in the towns in Kibbutzim next to Gaza,
01:44suddenly heaven turned into hell.
01:493,000 Hamas terrorists stormed into Israel.
01:55They butchered 1,200 people from 41 countries, including 39 Americans.
02:03Proportionately, compared to our population size, that's like 29 elevens in one day.
02:12Israel will fight until we destroy Hamas's military capabilities,
02:17end its rule in Gaza, and bring all our hostages home.
02:32That's what total victory means, and we will settle for nothing less.
02:38The day after we defeat Hamas, a new Gaza can emerge.
02:47My vision for that day is of a demilitarized and deradicalized Gaza.
02:53Israel does not seek to resettle Gaza, but for the foreseeable future,
02:58we must retain overriding security control there to prevent the resurgence of terror,
03:04to ensure that Gaza never again poses a threat to Israel.
03:09In World War II, as Britain fought on the front lines of civilization,
03:14Winston Churchill appealed to Americans with these famous words,
03:19Give us the tools, and we'll finish the job.
03:23Today, as Israel fights on the front lines of civilization, I too appeal to America.
03:29Give us the tools faster, and we'll finish the job faster.
03:35I also want to thank President Trump for all the things he did for Israel,
03:39from recognizing Israel's sovereignty over the Golan Heights,
03:42to confronting Iran's aggression, to recognizing Jerusalem as our capital,
03:47and moving the American embassy there.
