Folks, thanks for taking the time to be here today. I really appreciate i. And we even have an astronaut in the house and thats pretty cool. Look, first of all, i want thank chris and the mayor for being here and all of you for being here. And you know, these are tough times. Over 200,000 americans have passed away. 200,000.

Ive been reading you over the years and it isow a delight to have spent the evening. Im very pleased to be able to speak to you at this Hillsdale College of celebration. I am a great admirer of hillsdale. As i was saying i dont get to make many speeches like this. This. Im usually talking about crime rates and that kind of thing.
