let s try it again. frustration is a normal part of the greeting process when you ve had an injury like this. gabby, are you frustrated? can i tell you something? it is going to get better, okay? it s frustrating right now, but it is going to get better. you have come a long way in five weeks. i wanted to cry with her. i wanted to cry for her. but i also knew that s not what she needed from me. do you need a hug? she needed me to be strong for her. you want a hug? come here. honey, you re doing amazing, okay? i know it s frustrating. i know it s frustrating. but are you going to get through it? yes. yes. say it like a congresswoman. yes. are you going to get through it? yes. the dream for gabby at that
flown from tucson to houston to start the next phase of her recovery. of course we re all praying for the congresswoman. can you smile, sweetie? oh, that s not a smile. that s not a smile. that s better. that is better. gabby, big thumbs up. how about two fingers? all right. give me five. i m extremely hopeful that gabby s going to make a full recovery. i ve told her that. she s a strong person, a fighter. i mean, she is a fighter like nobody else that i know. gabby s alert, awake. she s moving her lips. whether she s going to try to mouth words or not, we re going to have to wait a little longer to see.

[ applause ] this election is so important. lowering drug prices, raising the middle class wages. this is the most consequential election of any of our lifetimes. i like your spacesuit. if you ever get the opportunity to go on a rocket ship, i highly recommend it. to see our planet floating in the blackness of space, you get the strong sense of how we are all in this together. hello, my fellow arizonans. the charisma still comes shining through. we need bold solutions,

gun violence, they say the way to stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun. oh, the, um, the safeway store there was a good guy with a gun. yes. at the safeway store where gabby was shot. right there in front of the cadillac is where everything went down. an innocent bystanders who was legally armed with a pistol ran to the scene. his safety was off, and he was poised to fire. trouble is, he almost shot the wrong man. as i approached the people wrestling with him, one of the gentleman had actually gotten the gun away from him. i kind of assumed he was the shooter. this good guy with the gun almost opened fire, which would have been a tragedy on top of a tragedy. these shootings oftentimes happen so quickly, it is unrealistic to think that somebody, no matter how well-trained, could actually prevent something like this from happening. you look at gabby giffords.
