Transcription

Probably because he wants to prove himself as himself, he downplays the idea. But it's there. It remains. It's undeniable. The dream that we can be all that we can be, it's still there. It remains possible. That sense of duty, the feeling for the average American, that ability to bring together the very finest minds in this country to meet the crisis that we face. This country is not prepared to sound retreat. It is ready to advance. It is willing to make a stand. And so am I.
