We begin today with extremely sad news. I never thought I would have to say this. I never

thought it would come to this, but the great Eric Swalwell has ended his campaign for

president. Swalwell was our last hope. He was the only light left shining in the dark.

He was the lighthouse on stormy shores guiding us home. Now that light is out. We are floating,

drowning in the dark ocean. I remember only a few days ago my six-year-old son came

up to me and we had a very real conversation. He said, Daddy, it feels like there's no

hope in the world. It feels like we're all doomed. We are just spinning chaoticly through

the void of space with no reason or purpose or destination in mind. I looked at him and

I said, I said, we do have hope. We have Swalwell. He looked at me and he said, what is Swalwell?

I said, stop talking back. Go to your room. What am I supposed to say to him now? That Swalwell

is in my supposed to say to him, oh, never mind. You're right. There is no purpose in life.

There is no hope. We are doomed. Swalwell left a campaign that excited the nation, a

campaign that at its zenith pulled at 0.5%. How could you leave something like that? When

so many people, literally tens and tens of people wanted this man to be president. He

still drops out. I just want to begin as a matter of respect with a moment of silence for

Eric Swalwell and his campaign and also the future of the nation. A moment of silence, please.
