00:00 So, we did see photographs, videos that the Israeli government shared with us.

00:09 Some I think has actually already been seen in public media.

00:15 Others were new to me and I think new to our team.

00:21 It's hard to find the right words.

00:24 It's beyond what anyone would ever want to imagine, much less actually see and God forbid

00:35 experience.

00:38 A baby, an infant, riddled with bullets.

00:45 Soldiers beheaded.

00:48 Young people burned alive in their cars or in their hideaway rooms.

00:56 I could go on, but it's simply depravity in the worst imaginable way.

01:11 It almost defies comprehension.

01:14 And as I've been saying, to me, in the most immediate future, harkens back to ISIS and

01:25 some of the very things we saw when it was on its rampage that thankfully was stopped.

02:00 but imagine yourself, your family, your loved ones, your friends in that situation, in that

02:11 predicament.

02:33 a country in resolve.
