Hello again. Welcome to the town hall portion of our afternoon and weekend. Were excited to be able to be joined by a handful of folks who are truly making a difference right here in this very building on the values that animate all of us, faith and Freedom Coalition and all of our members.

One of the first things i would like to talk to you about is ukraine. Why is it important for the United States to continue to support ukraine . V. P pence such an important place to start and i appreciate it very much. I am running for president because i think this country is in a lot of trouble. I think joe biden has weakened our country at home and abroad. The disastrous withdrawal from afghanistan is emboldening our enemies around the world and now, war is raging in Eastern Europe as russia continues to prosecute its unprovoked and unconscionable invasion of ukraine.
