Published | Video Starts at 16:10

… above all, recover the confidence to believe a nation that knows how to build, invent, produce and lead is never destined for decline. While America slept, our vulnerabilities grew. But Under President Trump's leadership, we are alert to the risk we can no longer ignore and attune to the responsibility we can no longer defer. Under President Trump, we have awoken to mourning again in America. And our best days, I believe, still lie ahead. Thank you all. I look forward to exploring these themes and further conversation with Larry. (16:10–16:19)
