“You have other governors that are also expressing not just private concern now, increasingly expressing public concern. They understand what's at stake. If these guys rigid the game they play by a different set of rules. And We can sit back and act as if we have some moral superiority and watch this 249, almost 250 year experiment be washed away. We are not going to allow that to happen. We have agency. We can shape the future. And that's what this conversation today was all about. Thank you guys, very, very much.” (16:34–16:46)
