Microphone. You now you to be honest, you guys, its surreal. It was, you know, you train for it and you know your job is dealing with reality, but it seemed a little surreal but yet, i did the job i was supposed to do. My job is to go in there and people dont call the police because theyre having a great day. They call because theres tragedy going on. This was tragedy that i never experienced in my career. I dont think most officers do. We had to deal with it and help bring them to safety and try to bring some kind of calm to the chaos going on. Just knowing though, yeah, we resolved that situation quickly. But there is so much tragedy left behind. There are so many families in these Holiday Season that will have to deal with the tragedy left behind by this act of violence. Thats tough to deal with. What do you say to them . You know, you have to be clear in your orders. The initial 50 people did not want to come to us. They were fearful. They were in the back hallway area. That actual

Thanks everybody for coming today, its great to be here, youre especially remarkable for coming to the topic which is not exactly easy to swallow, i think for most people. In fact, talk about euphemisms, it always sticks in my craw when we talk about dead innocent people. So lets try not to use that. So im certainly not going to use it in my presentation. Its hard for me to talk about this, because it it immediately becomes very personal for
Themselves in the world. Access and affordability. Because the cost of Higher Education has gone up over the last many years and now we have to figure out as a country, and as individual institutions how to make this affordable and accessible to young people, because education is transformational. Transformative experiences make a whole individual. Thats for citizens of every country, especially in a democratic environment. So how are you doing that then . How are you addressing this challenge of affordability and access . The university of illinois at urbana, champagne, tuition for instate is over 15,000, out of state is over 30,000, and room and board can come in at nearly 11,000. Yes, indeed.

I want to just spend a few minutes talking about how we can make sure that in 2014 we take back the majority in the senate and in 2016 we have an opportunity to make sure that there is a republican in the white house. We need a republican in the white house. When i think about the challenges that we face as a nation, i always go back to the song Amazing Grace. Anyone know the song Amazing Grace . I like that song a lot. I once was lost but now im found. I was blind, but now i see. I thank the lord he saved my soul. Yes, he saved a soul like me. And
