00:00Let me begin this evening with a very special thanks to Americans nationwide,

00:05including all of you here today, for your extraordinary outpouring of love and

00:11support in the wake of the horrific last Saturday event.

00:20And when you think of it, it was exactly one week ago today, almost to the hour,

00:26even to the minute.

00:37Incredible. What a day it was. As I said earlier this week, I stand before you

00:43only by the grace of Almighty God. That's true. I shouldn't be here. I shouldn't be here.

00:51Maybe J.D. or somebody else would be here, but I shouldn't be here right now.

00:59But something very, something very special happened. Let's face it, something

01:04happened. I want to thank Butler Memorial Hospital in Pennsylvania for the

01:10incredible job they did and service they gave. And all of the great citizens of

01:19Butler, Pennsylvania and the surrounding area and everyone else for the job they

01:23did and the love that they showed us all. It was incredible, actually. What a time that was.
