What a fantastic group. Thank you for coming out. Thanks for that great introduction, mackenzie. Reporter [cheering and applause] i want to thank all of you for taking the time and for caring about our country to get together and talk about what were going to do to make things better. We are at a difficult moment in the life of this nation. We are at a chaotic and unstable and frightening and divided moment but i believe it is in our hands to change all of that, not just for the moment but for the era ahead of us.
