Transcript
00:00There are no words that can capture the horror and the evil of this unspeakable act.
00:10Children are dead.
00:15There are families that have a deceased child.
00:19You cannot put into words the gravity, the tragedy, or the absolute pain of this situation.
00:27We are a Minneapolis family, but to everybody out there, do not think of these as just somebody else's kids.
00:40Those families are suffering immense pain right now.
00:45Think of this as if it were your own.
00:49Every one of us needs to be wrapping our arms around these families, giving them every ounce that we can muster.
00:57These were Minneapolis families.
01:00These were American families.
01:03And the amount of pain that they are suffering right now is extraordinary.
01:09Don't just say this is about thoughts and prayers right now.
01:12These kids were literally praying.
01:14It was the first week of school.
01:17They were in a church.
01:18These are kids that should be learning with their friends.
01:25They should be playing on the playground.
01:28They should be able to go to school or church in peace without the fear or risk of violence.
01:34And their parents should have the same kind of assurance.
01:37These are the sort of basic assurances that every family should have, every step of the day, regardless of where they are in our country.
