| 0:06.9 | been talking about this. Everything we did in 2021 to prepare for 2022. Everything we did in 2022 to prepare for |
| 0:14.7 | 2023. It all comes down to this, guys. Now, 10 months, 10 months to Election Day. I hope you'll get involved with |
| 0:23.6 | us. I want to say thank you for listening. I hope you will share this with your friends, |
| 0:28.6 | your family, your colleagues in the American pro-democracy movement. I hope you'll sign up |
| 0:34.1 | Lincolnproject.us. Join the union.us. Get involved, everybody. Every moment counts. |

| 1:44.6 | As we're recording this, you know, we're less than two weeks away from the Iowa caucuses on January 15th. |
