And we're going to ask ourselves what we've done between this moment and that moment so that by then,

the sort of corruption that's going on right now is unthinkable.

So that by then, the idea that people would be choosing between health insurance payments and mortgage payments seems barbaric.

It is barbaric, but it will seem barbaric and antique by then.

And for all of that, I think we need leadership.

And I'm not just talking about the next president, but the leaders that we're going to elect right now in 2026, who can think about that long term, not in some

abstract, airy, academic kind of way, but okay, what do we have to do now?

What reforms do we have to do now on everything from things like gerrymandering and how the Supreme Court works to our tax code and how unfair it is?

What do we have to be doing right now in ways that we will be glad we did, even if it's hard, especially if it's hard, especially if it takes a long time, the longer something takes to get done?

the sooner we should have started on it.

And I'm hoping that we can continue to see leaders who can see, of course, to the next election, but far beyond that and make the right kind of long-term choices that are going to matter.

I used to talk in these terms because I was the young guy in the room running for mayor in my 20s, being a presidential candidate in my 30s.

Now I think of it in a whole new way, which is, you know, every time I do break the news to our kids that Papa's going to be on the road for a couple of days...

I think about why and what's at stake.

And the reason, the answer, of course, is that we've got to give them a better world than we're living in right now.

Thanks very much.

Good being with you.
