[ cheers and applause ] the lilks will be in paris in 2024, l. A. In 2028, which is very exciting. President kid rock himself will be here for the opening ceremonies. [ laughter ] the u. S. Dwell gation originally wanted to have the olympics in boston and that seemed to be the plan, until think realized they had very little local support. People in boston didnt want them.
