president of the united
states --
>> there he is.
stuart: we will listen.
[applause]
>> hello, everybody.
thank you.
good morning.
thank you for all being here.
before beginning today, i'd like
to take a moment to again send
our thoughts and prayers to my
friend and the friend of most of
us in this room, steve scalise,
and his great family as he
continues his very brave fight.
it's been much more difficult
than people even thought at the
time.
it's been -- he's in some
trouble, but he's a great
fighter x he's going to be okay,
we hope.
i visited steve and his family
at the hospital last night, and
i reassured them that the entire
country is pulling for them,
praying for them and that we are
here for them every single step
of the way.
america's hearts -- and we mean
this in the truest sense --
sends it love.
a lot of hearts in this country,
great hearts, and they're all
sending their love and support
to the scalise family.
and steve in his own way may
have brought some unity to...
