00:00Well, thank you very much. It's a great pleasure to be with the president of Lebanon.
00:05He's highly respected in his country and actually long beyond his country.
00:10We've spoken previously on numerous occasions through representatives,
00:16and the relationship is very good.
00:19I think that Lebanon has been a very mistreated country for a long period of time.
00:23It's an amazing group of people, professors, doctors, lawyers, great intellects.
00:30And it's been hit hard for many, many decades, really.
00:35It's been hit very, very hard.
00:37And yet I have people that live in Lebanon, people that are parents of friends of mine,
00:43many cases, and they would never leave.
00:45They would not leave under any circumstances. They love it.
00:47They love the country.
00:49And it's probably a dangerous place in a lot of ways.
00:53But they live in areas, they say, we hear bombs going off all the time,
00:56but we want to live in Lebanon.
00:57They love the country.
00:58Very smart people, very successful people, and they live there.
01:02But it has been.
01:03It's been a country of great intellect, great intellectuals.
01:10They still love it.
01:11They want to be there.
01:13And we're going to help it.
01:14We're going to help it a lot.
01:16So it's an honor to have the president and your representatives here.
01:20We've already met a couple of times, and we've had some good meetings.
01:23And we are going to solve a lot of problems.
01:28We've already solved some of them for Lebanon.
01:30As you know, there's a Hezbollah problem.
01:33But we've done some things that I think the world will take notice.
01:39Again, it's been a very badly treated place and country,
01:45and we're going to have it properly treated and treated with respect that it deserves.
01:49Mr. President, it's an honor having you.
01:52Thank you very much.
01:53No, thank you.
01:54Thank you very much.
01:54I've been looking forward to this visit for a long time.
01:57Thank you very much.
01:57Meeting such a great president like yourself.
02:00That's a very nice statement.
02:01See?
02:01He knows how to get to me.
02:03He knows.
02:04He can have anything.
