-We're honored to be joined this evening by several of the victims of the October 7th attack, that horrible, horrible day. Former Hamas hostage Andrei Kozlov, who was recued. Yeah. Andrei was rescued by the IDF after eight months of very horrible captivity. I can imagine -- Where's Andrei? Is Andrei here someplace? Yes, yes. Come on up here, Andrei. He's got more courage than I have. Come on up here. He's a good-looking guy. I just said, "Do you want to say something?" And he wasn't exactly sure, "Say something, Andrei." I'm a little bit shy. I'm close to Trump, like, "I'm shy." What can I say? Thank you so much for the scariest, and I really appreciate it endlessly. Really. Thank you. Well done. We'll see you, man. Congratulations. It was beautiful. Thank you so much. He's a good-looking guy.
