Us and the people work for a living in this country. All right. Anita dunn, thank you very much. A senior adviser, of course, to President Biden. And outfront now, dan cluchey, the former senior speechwriter for President Biden, who worked on multiple major biden speeches during the 2022 State Of The Union speech and the 2021 inaugural address. And david litt, speechwriter for thenpresident obama. Okay. Thanks very much to both of you. So here we are. Were less than two hours away, from from this going to be a major speech from biden.
