00:00Mr. President, working for this government, for you, is the greatest honor of my life.

00:07I tell it to everybody, and I really do feel that way, and I thank you,

00:11because it's a privilege to go out there and represent you in your humanitarian effort,

00:21in your goals of solving conflicts all over the world.

00:26I think there were actually more than seven conflicts that you put to bed in the last eight months.

00:34And I hear these, I travel all over the world.

00:37In Hostage Square, they talk about you reverentially.

00:39It's really quite amazing.

00:41I sometimes wish that I had a cam recorder with me, and I could put you right there as I listen to it.

00:47I was in Gaza, the first American diplomat.

00:50But on your behalf, and as we delivered food and aid pursuant to your new aid initiative,

00:57pushed forth by your great Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, who it is a privilege for me to work alongside,

01:06the people were applauding you.

01:08The signs were up.

01:09I mean, these are people who, I just don't think you get the proper credit for it all.

01:15We are negotiating multiple entries into the Abraham Peace Accords because of your vision.

01:22Azerbaijan, all these different conflicts that we're out there on your behalf on,

01:29they're all, these are people who have never really seen the world change in this way.

01:33Peace through strength really, really works.

01:35Russia, Ukraine, Iran, Israel, Hamas, we're having meetings all this week on all three of those conflicts,

01:45and we hope to settle them before the end of this year.

01:47Your team is nothing short of incredible.

01:50And there's only one thing I wish for, that that noble committee finally gets its act together

01:56and realizes that you are the single finest candidate since the noble piece,

02:01this noble award was ever talked about, to receive that reward beyond your success

02:08is game-changing out in the world today.

02:11And I hope everybody one day wakes up and realizes that.

02:14Thank you, Steve.

02:22James.
