## Transcript

I would be the 10th US president since John F. Kennedy to sit down and resume all. He knew better than the Senate and if you look out over the arch of history, human beings should be filled not with fear. But with hope. I'm sure that's why he was so excited about technology because, for him it symbolized the march of human progress. And, it's why he loved so much to talk about young people. Because, he saw young people unburden. By the prejudices of the past. It's why he believed in miracles. Because in Israel, he saw a miracle come true. Of course, we gather here in the knowledge that Shimon never saw his dream of peace fulfilled.

[ BLANK_AUDIO ] The region, [ BLANK_AUDIO ] Is going through a chaotic time. [ BLANK_AUDIO ] Threats are ever present. And yet, he did not stop Dreaming and he did not stop working. Shimon Peres reminds us that the state of Israel like the United States of America was not built by cynics. We exist because people before us refused to be constraint by the past or the difficulties of the present. [ BLANK_AUDIO ] And Shimon Peres was never cynical. It is that faith that optimism, that belief even when all the evidence is to the country that tomorrow can be better That makes us not just honor Shimon Peres but love him.
