we loved jim brady. let me amend that a little bit we love jim and sarah brady. me, they are jim and sarah brady. we are here to honor his legacy, but to honor sarah and the family and all they have done. they were one of the most formidable couples in town. they were also one of the most lovable couples. we are here to celebrate his life today through many of his colleagues and the operative word is celebrate. and one who stands behind white house podium knows you spend most good time answering hard and tough questions. on occasion, i got some easy ones i want to share two of them with you today. one of them was who is your personal hero? mine was jim brady. one was a personal connection. anyone with any objective research would find that we were the last of the press secretaries who shared the hollywood good looks and fashion sense that very often you see in the movies. he is a hero not because of what happened to him. people faced tragedy in the lives. he is a hero because of what he did with it. we live in a very partisan and difficult town right now. it is h

thank you, jim brady. can't bless you. and as he would want me to finish, thumbs up. >> first i want to thank joe lockhart for all the work he has done to make this event, celebrating jim's life, so very special. and thank you all for joining in this wonderful sendoff for the bear. it was a tremendous privilege for me to work with and become so close to jim. for many years, the bradys have been like family to me. it is also a tremendous privilege for me to introduce our next speaker who jim adored. vice president biden and jim brady enjoyed a very long history together. before jim was white house press secretary, he served as an aide to senator bill roth of delaware, back when joe biden was senator biden. neither could know then how much they would subsequently do together to alter the course of history and ultimately saved so many lives by getting the brady bill passed. during the effort to pass the brady bill, we relied heavily on senator biden, the chairman of the senate judiciary committee, to help shepherd the bill thr

approved, even after a president of the united states was almost assassinated and his press secretary jim brady was severely injured and paralyzed. i hope it won't take ten years for action to be taken by congress, but we need the persistence and perseverance that will carry us through, however long it takes, to achieve lasting reform. i have been proud to serve as a member of the judiciary committee and work hard for this measure, helping to lead the effort to approve the ban on high-capacity magazines as well as assault weapons, and background checks, but a mental health initiative and a school safety initiative have also been part of what we need to do, and i will continue my work on those efforts, mental health and school safety, bills that i've introduced, and the lori jackson domestic violence survivor act, survivor protection act. lori jackson was estranged from her husband and endangered by him. she obtained a court order because of that danger and because of real evidence of that danger. and that court order unfortunately failed to save her life because it was only temporary and it fai
