Lets give each other a chance and lower the temperature. I like the tone hes setting john, already. Reporter and just adding, see each other again, listen to each other again. So thats thats the, you know, its not just words but actually putting them into action. The speech really ranged. You had Langston Hughes reference in there, on eagles wings, he quoted theodore parker. It was, again, this is what speech making sound like, and President Trump hasnt spoken like this, hasnt chosen to, and this was a speech that seeks to use the words in the moment to bring the nation together and move it along. Words cant do everything in a presidency, but they can do a lot. Reporter and to say he wants to root out systemic racism.

Thats very powerful. Odonnell that it will be a priority. Reporter exactly, exactly, norah,
