00:00 I wanted to share one last thing with you before I go, and I wanted to share

00:05 one thing with you, Mr. President, before I go. I lost my grandfather this year, as

00:10 you alluded to, a firefighter, William Kelly. He's the reason that our son's

00:17 middle name is William. My grandfather was another rare Irishman who didn't

00:22 drink because he lost his father and his brother to alcoholism. And I swear

00:29 Mr. President, this is not an age comparison. You remind me of him. Some of

00:37 your best qualities remind me of his. And I will say he was 95 and he was still

00:44 great at stairs. He voted for you and the reason that he voted for you is because

00:51 you're a decent man. My grandpa voted for decency and decency is why we're all

00:59 here tonight. Decency is how we're able to be here tonight.

01:06 Decency is how we're able to make jokes about each other and one of us doesn't

01:17 go to prison after. We go to the Newsmax after party.
