00:00The horrific attempt on former President Trump's life underscores the critical

00:04need to dial back divisive rhetoric and embrace a path forward rooted in

00:07civility and respect. In today's tense political climate, our discussions have

00:12grown increasingly hostile, making many Americans hesitant to express their

00:15views. This erosion of civility goes against our core American values and it

00:20must change. Our nation thrives on diversity of opinion and background, but

00:24this shouldn't lead us to view each other as enemies. We must choose

00:27community over chaos. We can maintain our convictions while treating one

00:31another with greater respect and empathy. In Congress, beyond the sensationalism

00:36you see on cable news or social media, bipartisan efforts have yielded

00:39substantial results. Commitment to our community has been my driving force in

00:44Congress. I've worked across party lines to improve veterans benefits, reduce

00:48costs, and upgrade our infrastructure. Cooperation and civility have not only

00:52been possible, but essential for progress. Looking ahead, our collective actions

00:57will define us as a nation. Let's choose dignity and respect over division. Our

01:02political opponents are not our enemies, they're our fellow Americans. We must

01:07reject political violence unequivocally and navigate our challenges with unity

01:11and resolve. It won't be without effort and it certainly won't happen overnight, but

01:16through commitment we can achieve this vision, and we must.
