00:00Good evening. You guys all look like a bunch of great Americans. Thank you so

00:14much for welcoming me here tonight. What an honor to be with all of you. What did

00:17you say? I'm your governor. Yes, I am your governor. And now I work for your

00:22president as your secretary of Homeland Security. Listen, I spent the day today

00:32with a bunch of officers out arresting bad guys and getting them off the streets.

00:36Aren't you grateful for our law enforcement officers? In fact, I want to do

00:46this. I'm sure my team put together a fantastic speech for me to give to you.

00:51And I will use some of it, but I'm gonna go a little off the rails here a

00:56little bit because that's the mood that I'm in. But I want you all to stand up

01:00with me and we're gonna cover our law enforcement officers in prayer right now.

01:03Let's bow our heads. Dear Heavenly Father, we just come before you tonight grateful.

01:10We come before you extremely thankful for the blessings that you have given us, Lord,

01:15recognizing that we are privileged people living in the greatest experiment on

01:19earth. Lord, you have given us a country that defends our freedoms and our liberties.

01:24And you have surrounded us with good men and women who care about the rule of law,

01:29who every single day stand up and they defend the oath that they have taken to

01:34protect people. Lord, we were created to serve you. The purpose you've placed inside

01:38of us as human beings is to serve other people. And when we serve other people, we

01:43will be happier because we are fulfilling the purpose for which you have created us.

01:48Lord, I just ask right now that you would put your hand in a covering over every

01:53single law enforcement officer in this country. Lord, that you would build a hedge

01:56of protection around them. And Lord, as they go out and they defend our streets from

02:01rioters, from violent criminals, from people who would wish to do others harm, Lord, that

02:06you would give them a peace that passes all understanding, that you would keep your hand

02:11on them and their families, protect them, keep them safe, and help them to know, Lord,

02:16that they are standing for right, that they are standing for good, that they are fighting

02:21evil, and that they are fulfilling the purpose to which you have called them. Dear Lord, we

02:25thank you and we praise you for each of and every single one of them, Lord. And I ask that

02:28everyone in this room and all of America would find ways to bless our law enforcement officers,

02:33Lord. Bless them, have their backs, defend them, stand for what's right, and to continue

02:39to walk in the purpose for which you've called each and every one of us. In your name, amen.

02:45Amen.

02:53Thank you. We love you, too. You guys are amazing. Thank you so much for being here.
