An incredible leader, but most importantly, an incredible story. Hoffman came to the United States at the age of seven as a refugee from Congo with his family. His story and his family's story is about the American dream and being a refugee and coming to Las Vegas and benefiting from the incredible generosity of the place we call home. But more importantly, working hard and also taking care of other people. An incredible leader. I'm so proud to have him here at the State of the Union address. (00:23–00:38)
