## Transcript

Oh. Mr. Speaker, I want to thank you for giving me the profound honor of addressing this great citadel of democracy for the fourth time. We meet today at a cross roads of history. Our world is in upheaval. In the Middle East, Iran's axis of terror confronts America, Israel, and our Arab friends. This is not a clash of civilizations. It's a clash between barbarism and civilization. I. It's a clash between those who glorify death and those who sanctify life. For the forces of civilization to triumph. America and Israel must stand together. Because when we stand together, something very simple happens.

We win, they lose. And, my friends, I came to assure you today of one thing. We will win. The pain these families have endured is beyond words. I met with them again yesterday, and I promised them this. I will not rest until all their loved ones are home. All of them. As we speak, we're actively engaged in intensive efforts to secure their release. And I'm confident that these efforts can succeed. Some of them are taking place right now. I want to thank President Biden for his tireless efforts on behalf of the hostages and for his efforts to the hostage families, as well. I thank President Biden for his heartfelt support for Israel.

After the savage attack on October 7, he rightly called Hamas Sheer evil. He dispatched two aircraft carriers to the Middle East to deter a wider war. And he came to Israel to stand with us during our darkest hour, a visit that will never be forgotten. I just learned there is a fourth hero here, Lieutenant Yantan Jonathan, Benhamel, who lost a leg in Gaza and continued to fight. My friends, these are the soldiers of Israel, Unbound, undaunted, unafraid. My friends defeating our brutal enemies requires both courage and clarity. Clarity begins by knowing the difference between good and evil. Yet incredibly, many anti Israel protesters, many choose to stand with evil.

They stand with amas. They stand with rapists and murderers. They stand with people who came into the Kibi into a home. The parents hid the children, the two babies in the attic, in a secret attic. They murder the families, the parents. They find the secret latch to the hidden attic, and then they murder the babies. These protessors stand with them. They should be ashamed of themselves. And don't be fooled when the blood libels against the Jewish state come from people who wear fancy silk robes and speak in lofty tones about law and justice. Here's the case in point. Well, I have a message for these protesters.

When the Tyrants of Tehran who hang gains from cranes and murder women for not covering their hair are praising, promoting and funding you, you have officially become Iran's useful idiots.
