WEBVTT 00:00:01.280 --> 00:00:08.500 I have the special honor and privilege today to welcome doctor Benjamin s Carson junior senior. 00:00:08.640 --> 00:00:09.600 Excuse me. 00:00:09.600 --> 00:00:12.660 United States I'm a junior, so I get confused sometimes. 00:00:13.235 --> 00:00:20.935 The United States secretary of housing and urban development as our honorary degree recipient and 2018 commencement speaker. 00:00:21.715 --> 00:00:25.815 It's also a pleasure to welcome his wife, Candy, who joined us as well today. 00:00:27.890 --> 00:00:33.910 As many of you know, secretary Carson has a long and distinguished career in medicine and public service. 00:00:34.610 --> 00:00:44.925 His dedication to helping others is central to his work, and he has shown incredible fortitude in pursuing both his professional career and family life. 00:00:46.105 --> 00:00:55.245 Born in Detroit, Michigan to a single mother with a third grade education, doctor Carson is a definition of resilience and determination. 00:00:56.960 --> 00:01:08.660 Raised by his mother who instilled a deep love of education, doctor Carson graduated from Yale University with a degree in psychology and went on to pursue a career in medicine. 00:01:09.715 --> 00:01:23.815 As a doctor, he became director of pediatric neurosurgery at the Johns Hopkins Children's Center at age 33 and earned fame for his groundbreaking work in separating conjoined twins. 00:01:25.880 --> 00:01:33.980 As a courageous physician, he's endeavored to restore dignity to those who, in the face of the modern world, may be lost. 00:01:35.320 --> 00:01:40.940 This mission of helping to save these fragile lives is not unknown to the future of our graduates here today. 00:01:42.095 --> 00:01:50.675 Every person here is endeavoring to make a difference on the individual level, showing the importance of just one heart, one mind, one soul. 00:01:51.695 --> 00:01:55.700 Doctor Carson, you are distinguished man of science and healing. 00:01:55.760 --> 00:02:00.180 Your story lifts the hearts and minds of those of us gathered here today. 00:02:00.960 --> 00:02:11.925 You have used your renowned and influence to inspire new hopeful paths for young people and show that a searching mind and generous spirit are crucial in one's endeavor in this life. 00:02:13.265 --> 00:02:27.010 In gratitude for the best qualities of humanity that shine through your work, it is my honor today to bestow on doctor Benjamin Carson the honorary degree, doctor's doctor of humane letters, honoris causa. 00:03:15.215 --> 00:03:19.475 Well, thank you so much and, congratulations to all the graduates. 00:03:20.550 --> 00:03:29.050 Father Charles father Charles and Bishop Burbridge, and distinguished faculty, graduates, and their families. 00:03:29.590 --> 00:03:42.345 I'm very honored to be here today to receive, this degree and to be forever more connected with this great university and, such a beautiful place of worship that we're in today. 00:03:43.285 --> 00:04:06.535 I'm greatly humbled by the dedication of this university to its mission and by the commitments of graduates who embody that vision, seeking to ensure the moral resolve with which we should go forward in our professions to serve others in a Christian way. 00:04:07.555 --> 00:04:21.260 I'm impressed with the work of DMU faculty in developing an integrative model of the human person and the innovative approach of healing that that brings. 00:04:22.040 --> 00:04:27.765 Speaking of healing, it was the only thing that ever interested me as a youngster, medicine. 00:04:28.625 --> 00:04:44.340 I love the stories, church and Sabbath school about missionary doctors who traveled all over the planet, a great personal sacrifice frequently in danger to bring not only physical, but mental and spiritual healing to people. 00:04:44.340 --> 00:04:47.540 And to me, they seem like the most noble people on the face of the earth. 00:04:47.540 --> 00:04:52.600 And I decided when I was eight years old that I would become a missionary doctor. 00:04:53.305 --> 00:04:58.285 And that was my dream from the age of eight until 13. 00:05:02.185 --> 00:05:07.160 At which time, having grown up in dire poverty, I decided I'd rather be rich. 00:05:07.160 --> 00:05:13.480 So at that point, missionary doctor was out and psychiatrist was in. 00:05:13.480 --> 00:05:17.260 Now, I didn't know any psychiatrist, but on TV they seem like rich people. 00:05:17.400 --> 00:05:25.315 You know, they they lived in mansions, drove jaguars, had these big plush offices, and all they had to do was talk to crazy people all day. 00:05:25.855 --> 00:05:26.355 Yeah. 00:05:26.975 --> 00:05:28.655 Seemed like I was doing that anyway. 00:05:28.655 --> 00:05:33.935 So I said, you know, this is, I said, this is gonna work out extremely well. 00:05:33.935 --> 00:05:36.670 And I I started reading psychology today. 00:05:36.670 --> 00:05:38.350 I was the local shrink in high school. 00:05:38.350 --> 00:05:39.970 Everybody brought me their problems. 00:05:40.670 --> 00:05:46.210 I would sit them down and stroke my chin, say, tell me about your mama. 00:05:46.510 --> 00:05:55.845 And, and then I majored in psychology in college and had some great professors like Anna Freud, the daughter of Sigmund Freud and I was all gung ho. 00:05:55.845 --> 00:05:57.945 I was gonna be the world's greatest psychiatrist. 00:05:58.725 --> 00:06:03.865 And then I got to medical school and I started meeting a bunch of psychiatrists. 00:06:08.070 --> 00:06:10.010 Actually, some of my best friends are psychiatrists. 00:06:12.230 --> 00:06:24.495 But, you know, I I realized that that probably wasn't where my talent was Because I think God gives every one of us special gifts and talents. 00:06:25.195 --> 00:06:28.895 And I stopped and I asked myself, what are you really really good at? 00:06:29.755 --> 00:06:35.630 And I realized I had a lot of eye hand coordination, the ability to think in three dimensions. 00:06:36.810 --> 00:06:40.430 I was a very careful person, never knocked things over and said, oops. 00:06:40.890 --> 00:06:43.870 It's a good characteristic for a brain surgeon, by the way. 00:06:44.250 --> 00:06:51.115 And and I love to dissect things and and I put all that together and that's how I came up with the idea of neurosurgeon. 00:06:51.175 --> 00:06:53.595 A lot of people thought that was a strange idea. 00:06:53.815 --> 00:06:57.675 At that time, there had only been eight black neurosurgeons in the world. 00:06:58.695 --> 00:07:06.060 But you know, I didn't worry about that because when God gives you a talent for something, he doesn't care where you came from. 00:07:06.060 --> 00:07:07.840 He doesn't care what you look like. 00:07:08.220 --> 00:07:13.360 He cares whether you develop that talent that he has given you. 00:07:13.740 --> 00:07:17.975 And he's given each one of you graduates special talent. 00:07:18.515 --> 00:07:23.175 There's some things that each one of you is better at than anybody else in here. 00:07:23.875 --> 00:07:30.295 And one of the things that really leads to great success is recognizing what it is. 00:07:31.050 --> 00:07:40.830 It was, realizing my talents that was one of the most important things in retrospect and one of the most liberating moments in my life. 00:07:41.530 --> 00:07:44.350 It gave my life a goal, something to work toward. 00:07:45.155 --> 00:07:56.375 And when things were tougher than I expected, I believed that God meant for me to continue on because of the talents he had given me. 00:08:01.180 --> 00:08:06.800 Now, sometimes the good Lord is rather dramatic in the way that he shows up in our lives. 00:08:07.580 --> 00:08:11.740 I remember, you know, going off to Yale. 00:08:11.740 --> 00:08:20.485 And I must admit, you you know, coming from an inner city high school in Detroit going off to Yale, I thought I was the smartest person in the world. 00:08:20.865 --> 00:08:22.945 And if not, certainly in the top five. 00:08:22.945 --> 00:08:28.805 But, you know, it didn't take long before I was severely disabused of that notion. 00:08:29.350 --> 00:08:31.610 And I was starting to think just the opposite. 00:08:32.230 --> 00:08:36.250 And toward the end of that first semester, I was failing freshman chemistry. 00:08:37.590 --> 00:08:42.045 Now, you can't fail chemistry and be pre med. 00:08:42.205 --> 00:08:45.185 I mean, you just don't go to medical school if you fail chemistry. 00:08:45.725 --> 00:08:55.025 And but there I was and I was not even close to passing, but we had a very merciful chemistry professor. 00:08:55.610 --> 00:08:57.470 He was either merciful or sadistic. 00:08:57.530 --> 00:08:58.750 I'm not sure which. 00:08:59.530 --> 00:09:04.350 Because he said, anyone who's failing, I'll give you double credit on your final exam. 00:09:04.570 --> 00:09:07.710 Just to give you that last hope before you went down. 00:09:09.975 --> 00:09:13.575 So there I was the night before the final exam and I was just praying. 00:09:13.575 --> 00:09:20.475 I said, Lord, I always thought you wanted me to be a doctor, but but it looks like I'm gonna fail chemistry. 00:09:21.015 --> 00:09:22.395 I'm not gonna be a doctor. 00:09:23.850 --> 00:09:28.190 So would you tell me what it is you really want me to do? 00:09:29.610 --> 00:09:33.550 Or preferably, and alternatively work a miracle. 00:09:33.770 --> 00:09:45.125 And and, you know, I I took out that big thick chemistry textbook and I I was gonna memorize the whole thing that night. 00:09:45.345 --> 00:09:47.045 Well, of course, I fell asleep. 00:09:48.305 --> 00:09:55.280 And I dreamed I was in a big auditorium, just me all by myself and there was a nebulous figure working out chemistry problems on the blackboard. 00:09:56.060 --> 00:10:00.240 And I awakened early that morning and that dream was so vivid in my mind. 00:10:00.860 --> 00:10:05.120 I I quickly looked up the stuff that I had seen in the dream. 00:10:05.965 --> 00:10:12.865 And I went off to take the exam the next morning and I opened the test booklet and it was like the twilight zone. 00:10:13.405 --> 00:10:17.025 The first problem was one of the ones I dreamed about. 00:10:17.405 --> 00:10:18.305 That was easy. 00:10:18.590 --> 00:10:22.770 And the next one and the next one and the next one, right through the exam, I aced the whole thing. 00:10:23.630 --> 00:10:26.990 And, you know, I just I just thank God. 00:10:26.990 --> 00:10:29.490 And I said, you're never gonna have to do that for me again. 00:10:29.870 --> 00:10:31.790 I know you want me to be a doctor. 00:10:31.790 --> 00:10:34.425 I know there's no question about it. 00:10:34.985 --> 00:10:39.085 And, and he didn't have to do that for me again because I I did learn to study. 00:10:42.985 --> 00:10:47.565 But but I came to believe that that God has special things for us to do. 00:10:48.210 --> 00:10:54.790 If we listen to him, he will guide our lives and through him we can do extraordinary things. 00:10:56.050 --> 00:11:05.445 And by working through that understanding both in our lives and our professional work, we have the capacity for positive change. 00:11:06.305 --> 00:11:14.645 Now, many of you have already led very full careers and this experience has been enhancing your work. 00:11:15.570 --> 00:11:18.950 Others are just embarking on a new vocation. 00:11:19.970 --> 00:11:23.350 And for many, this is an important turning point. 00:11:24.130 --> 00:11:30.310 The wonderful thing about your group is that you're all already heading in the right direction. 00:11:31.195 --> 00:11:38.335 Through your education, you've already made a commitment to understanding the fact that people are holistic. 00:11:38.555 --> 00:11:43.455 Their whole beings are mental, their spiritual, and their physical. 00:11:44.780 --> 00:11:49.440 We have enormous challenges with mental illness in our country. 00:11:50.460 --> 00:11:53.280 So I I was correct about that when I was 13. 00:11:54.220 --> 00:11:55.680 And we need to be healers. 00:11:57.115 --> 00:12:04.575 We see it all around us just today in Texas with the shooting and the school. 00:12:05.595 --> 00:12:06.735 Many people killed. 00:12:07.675 --> 00:12:11.135 Mental illness abounds throughout our society. 00:12:12.420 --> 00:12:16.440 And there's a calling for each of us to do what we can about it. 00:12:16.900 --> 00:12:23.640 We're trying to do that at HUD right now, where we've created something called Envision Centers. 00:12:23.700 --> 00:12:26.920 The first ones will be open next month in Detroit. 00:12:28.275 --> 00:12:36.375 And, there's a verse in the bible, Proverbs twenty nine eighteen, it says, without a vision, the people perish. 00:12:37.795 --> 00:12:42.595 And, so first we call them vision centers, but then we figured everybody would think they were getting glasses. 00:12:42.595 --> 00:12:53.150 So now, it's called the Envision Center, but it's a place where where we bring the need in juxtaposition to the resources. 00:12:53.290 --> 00:13:07.335 There's a lot of resources in our country at the federal level, the state level, the local level, private sector, the church, faith based organizations, nonprofits. 00:13:08.755 --> 00:13:28.180 And it's amazing what happens when you can bring those together and make them available because we have a lot of poor people, we have a lot of disadvantaged in our society, and we've actually been responsible for cultivating an atmosphere that leads people like that. 00:13:28.595 --> 00:13:41.575 And now we need to be responsible for creating the right opportunities for people to climb out of dependency and to realize the dream that is there in this country for everybody. 00:13:42.810 --> 00:13:47.070 But we have a responsibility to help people to get there. 00:13:47.690 --> 00:13:57.790 It will take transforming belief and the inherent dignity of every life when others you encounter might lose sight of that truth. 00:13:58.205 --> 00:14:05.665 And also, it will take knowing what our limits are and what things need to be left in the hands of God. 00:14:06.525 --> 00:14:11.585 I believe you've been blessed by a tremendous foundation from this great institution. 00:14:12.860 --> 00:14:18.640 Through a Christian framework, you're able to go about your life's work and God's work through you. 00:14:19.740 --> 00:14:26.400 If we're going to help people live a full life flourishing according to God's will, that is what it will take. 00:14:27.925 --> 00:14:39.545 Few additional thoughts, because as hard as this was to achieve, that is your degree today, there's still a lot more in store. 00:14:40.325 --> 00:14:49.590 Some Some of the things I learned in my lesson, in my lesson of life, continue to train harder than everybody else. 00:14:50.770 --> 00:14:52.870 Continue your search for excellence. 00:14:54.075 --> 00:15:01.295 God has prepared you for the next step, but by no means does that mean learning stops with a degree. 00:15:01.915 --> 00:15:03.695 This should be a source of joy. 00:15:04.955 --> 00:15:11.000 Lifelong education and more importantly, learning how you learn, because everybody learns differently. 00:15:11.460 --> 00:15:13.960 I found that out when I got to medical school. 00:15:14.660 --> 00:15:20.600 You know, at the University of Michigan, I remember that first set of comprehensive exams, I did terribly. 00:15:21.220 --> 00:15:25.985 I did so badly that my advisor advised me to drop out. 00:15:26.685 --> 00:15:28.545 He said, you're not cut out for medicine. 00:15:29.325 --> 00:15:35.025 You're just going to to torture yourself and everybody else, so why don't you get out now? 00:15:35.950 --> 00:15:37.710 That's the person who's supposed to help me. 00:15:37.710 --> 00:15:38.210 Okay? 00:15:38.510 --> 00:15:39.250 Get through. 00:15:39.870 --> 00:15:40.770 I was devastated. 00:15:40.990 --> 00:15:47.790 I went back to my apartment and I said, Lord, I I need you to show me what to do. 00:15:47.790 --> 00:15:48.510 I don't know what to do. 00:15:48.510 --> 00:15:49.710 And I I started thinking. 00:15:49.710 --> 00:15:52.765 I said, what kind of courses have you always struggled with? 00:15:52.765 --> 00:15:54.785 What kind of courses have you done very well in? 00:15:55.005 --> 00:16:05.085 And I realized I did really well in courses where I did a lot of reading and I struggled in courses where I listened to boring lectures because I don't do well with boring lectures at all. 00:16:05.085 --> 00:16:08.300 I just tone them right out and it doesn't do me any good. 00:16:08.300 --> 00:16:12.220 And I was listening to six to eight hours worth of boring lectures every day. 00:16:12.220 --> 00:16:17.760 So I made the executive decision to skip the boring lectures and to spend that time reading. 00:16:18.625 --> 00:16:21.285 And the rest of medical school was a snap after that. 00:16:21.665 --> 00:16:30.245 And, I remember some years later going back to my medical school as the commencement speaker, and I was looking for that advisor. 00:16:34.540 --> 00:16:54.575 Because I was gonna tell him he wasn't cut out to be an advisor, you know, because because, you know, there are so many people who are just negative negative negative And they can always tell you why something won't work, but they never seem to invest any time or effort in being positive. 00:16:55.435 --> 00:17:00.175 And I hope that in your spheres of influence, you will change that dynamic. 00:17:01.030 --> 00:17:09.770 If you train harder than anyone else and search for excellence in every aspect of your life, you'll be confident but not cocky. 00:17:10.550 --> 00:17:20.955 You'll trust in the skills that you've gotten and that in combination with trusting in God makes all the difference in the world. 00:17:20.955 --> 00:17:27.615 I remember one case with a little girl in New Mexico, she was in status epilepticus. 00:17:27.835 --> 00:17:31.200 That means she was having seizures constantly, twenty four seven. 00:17:31.900 --> 00:17:34.140 She couldn't breathe because of the seizures. 00:17:34.140 --> 00:17:38.080 She had paralyzed on one side, hadn't spoken for several months, was on a ventilator. 00:17:39.180 --> 00:17:51.035 And her mother heard about some of the work we were doing at Johns Hopkins with a procedure called cerebral hemispherectomy, where we take out half of the brain in children with intractable seizures and sometimes they're able to control it. 00:17:51.735 --> 00:17:58.290 And she contacted us and made arrangements for her to come up on a medical transport. 00:17:59.390 --> 00:18:10.335 And, I and some of my colleagues felt that even though she was older than most of the patients who underwent a hemisorectomy, that she would be a reasonable candidate. 00:18:10.335 --> 00:18:16.415 One of the other neurologists, very famous guy, no one knew who I was at that time. 00:18:16.415 --> 00:18:17.375 He said, no. 00:18:17.375 --> 00:18:18.255 Absolutely not. 00:18:18.255 --> 00:18:19.395 You can't do that. 00:18:19.615 --> 00:18:21.875 And he called the dean and the president of the hospital. 00:18:22.130 --> 00:18:24.790 You cannot let Carson operate on this patient. 00:18:25.330 --> 00:18:27.250 Many other people have weighed in on this. 00:18:27.250 --> 00:18:29.090 Well known people throughout the country. 00:18:29.090 --> 00:18:29.990 This is ridiculous. 00:18:30.050 --> 00:18:32.870 We don't wanna get a black marker in the name of Johns Hopkins. 00:18:33.410 --> 00:18:35.110 And then he made a big mistake. 00:18:36.155 --> 00:18:40.415 He went to a conference in Rome and left the patient there in the hospital. 00:18:42.475 --> 00:18:44.395 And I said, this is our big chance. 00:18:44.395 --> 00:18:47.755 And I I went and talked to the mother and said, we need to do this. 00:18:47.755 --> 00:18:49.055 And she agreed. 00:18:49.570 --> 00:18:50.870 And I did the hemispherectomy. 00:18:51.570 --> 00:18:55.350 And when he came back from Rome, she was off the ventilator. 00:18:56.450 --> 00:18:59.990 She was starting to move the side that hadn't moved for a while. 00:19:00.690 --> 00:19:02.150 The seizures had stopped. 00:19:02.765 --> 00:19:04.705 She went on to make a great recovery. 00:19:05.005 --> 00:19:08.445 And you know, he never had a negative thing to say to me after that. 00:19:08.445 --> 00:19:10.705 But why was I willing to do that? 00:19:11.965 --> 00:19:15.185 Because I had done the requisite studying. 00:19:16.750 --> 00:19:21.170 And I knew he could say what he couldn't do, but he couldn't say what I couldn't do. 00:19:21.390 --> 00:19:24.210 But more importantly, I had prayed. 00:19:25.150 --> 00:19:30.165 I had asked God for guidance, asked him for wisdom, which I always do. 00:19:30.725 --> 00:19:32.665 I learned to do that as a teenager. 00:19:33.365 --> 00:19:37.545 And there's never been a time when he has forsaken me. 00:19:37.925 --> 00:19:39.945 Never a time when he has let me down. 00:19:40.965 --> 00:19:52.130 And, even now in my position, at HUD, we have a lot of difficult things that we have to do if we're gonna get people out of poverty. 00:19:53.070 --> 00:19:58.450 We have to go against a lot of the things that have been put in place for decades. 00:19:59.855 --> 00:20:04.275 And when you do things like that, you know, you don't make everybody happy. 00:20:05.055 --> 00:20:09.475 You know, it's sort of like, you know, fledgling birds. 00:20:10.830 --> 00:20:20.610 They don't like their parents very much when they push them out of the nest, but pretty soon they're soaring like eagles, and then they appreciate it. 00:20:21.310 --> 00:20:31.835 And there isn't anybody that God made in this country who cannot soar like an eagle, who doesn't have tremendous potential behind them. 00:20:32.455 --> 00:20:35.915 And, you know, as you go through life, not everything will be smooth. 00:20:36.880 --> 00:20:41.780 There will be problems along the way, but do remember who's in charge. 00:20:42.720 --> 00:20:51.940 And remember to treat the people around you the right way, because the people you meet on the way up are the same ones you meet on the way down. 00:20:53.215 --> 00:20:56.675 And you get a lot more done when you treat people the right way. 00:20:57.135 --> 00:21:06.095 I remember I always got a lot more cases done in the operating room because I had a very good relationship with the cleaning people and everybody else. 00:21:06.095 --> 00:21:11.660 So sometimes I'd get a mop and start cleaning the floor myself and they didn't like that so they would really get in there and start working. 00:21:12.040 --> 00:21:18.060 But it makes a big difference when you treat people the right way. 00:21:18.760 --> 00:21:20.860 And you'll have to work with people. 00:21:21.240 --> 00:21:24.925 Real success you'll gain by working with other people. 00:21:24.925 --> 00:21:30.385 I remember in one case of Conjoined Twins, you know, I had done a number of them by that time. 00:21:31.165 --> 00:21:33.025 This was a a set from Europe. 00:21:33.805 --> 00:21:42.250 And, you know, rather than do that case myself, I said, I'm in the number one neurosurgery department in the country. 00:21:42.250 --> 00:21:50.430 We've got specialists in neurovascular disease and with tumor work and with skull based work and all kinds of things. 00:21:51.585 --> 00:21:53.985 What if we have a lot of people involved? 00:21:53.985 --> 00:22:01.765 We had 18 neurosurgeons in teams to come in to do the part of the operation that they were the world expert in. 00:22:02.065 --> 00:22:04.565 Do you know we were ten hours ahead of schedule? 00:22:04.990 --> 00:22:08.450 What a difference it makes when it doesn't matter who gets the credit. 00:22:09.070 --> 00:22:21.095 When you just look at the goal, when you work with people, and you have total respect for them, and they will develop total respect for you in the same way. 00:22:21.475 --> 00:22:23.415 It'll make all the difference in the world. 00:22:23.955 --> 00:22:30.935 And the last thing I wanna leave you with is you're all gonna have tremendous fears of influence. 00:22:33.650 --> 00:22:43.510 And can you imagine how many people will be impacted by what you do, what you say, how you act? 00:22:45.755 --> 00:23:02.260 And I implore each of you to use that sphere of influence to fight one of the most destructive things that exist in our country right now, and that is hatred and intolerance. 00:23:03.600 --> 00:23:20.165 There are those who were driving wedges between all of our people based on every demographic, race, income, religion, age, gender, political affiliation. 00:23:21.025 --> 00:23:22.165 It doesn't matter. 00:23:23.585 --> 00:23:27.530 We happen to live in a very strong nation. 00:23:28.630 --> 00:23:35.690 A nation that cannot be brought down from the outside, but a nation that can be destroyed from within. 00:23:36.710 --> 00:23:38.890 And that's what happened to the Roman Empire. 00:23:40.145 --> 00:23:46.565 They were so strong, no one could bring them down, but then they lost their vision. 00:23:47.665 --> 00:23:48.625 There was no right. 00:23:48.625 --> 00:23:49.765 There was no wrong. 00:23:49.985 --> 00:23:51.285 Everything was relative. 00:23:52.385 --> 00:23:53.685 They lost their identity. 00:23:54.620 --> 00:23:55.820 They didn't know where they were going. 00:23:55.820 --> 00:23:58.080 They became easy prey for the barbarians. 00:24:00.220 --> 00:24:01.840 We can do so much better. 00:24:02.700 --> 00:24:04.640 We all have that sphere of influence. 00:24:04.700 --> 00:24:05.980 God has given that to us. 00:24:05.980 --> 00:24:07.520 God has blessed our nation. 00:24:07.895 --> 00:24:10.235 God has given us values and principles. 00:24:11.255 --> 00:24:28.633 And if we live by those values and principles, not only will we have a great nation, but we will have one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. 00:24:29.034 --> 00:24:31.214 Congratulations, and thank you.
