I think he can hear us. If he were listening, he would not want you to quit. He would not want you to back down. He would want you to fight on. And He would hope that this death of Charlie Kirk would actually be a real turning point for the University of Texas, for Austin, for Texas, for the whole United States. So I hope you'll remember that, and I hope you'll think about Charlie Kirk and what he would have wanted. He would not have wanted you to back off or to back down. (09:22–09:37)
