[Crosstalk]
I served in the Marine Corps. There are a lot of -- lot of -- lot of military bases and not -- not the -- not the funnest areas, but great -- great places to live and -- and work and build a life. So, I'm proud of you, man.
[Inaudible] and he's just about to jump back on.
Oh, OK. So, I didn't realize there was a train from West Point --
[Crosstalk]
From Union Station to Moynihan Train Hall in New York, and then I'll hop on a train that take me from Grand Central to Harrison across the Hudson.

About five hours.
OK. Well --

[Crosstalk]
Hey, how are you?
Vice President, excuse me.
It was -- it was -- it was a little odd when the script was, you know, made by the resignation of JD Vance in Ohio. That's me.
That's me [Inaudible].
Alright. So, please raise your right hand. Do you solemnly swear that you will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic, that you will bear true faith and allegiance to the same.

What the hell?
[Crosstalk]
Could I have everyone just back up a step, and then we'll kind of stack each other.
Yeah. Sure.
You can use the first riser for the delegation.
[Crosstalk]
If I could have the delegation use the first riser right behind just to keep everybody --
[Crosstalk]
If you take one step up. OK. That's perfect. Yeah. Go on here.
Do we want to be behind the desk or --
[Crosstalk]
Behind the desk. OK.
[Crosstalk]
It's like a wedding photo with a very large family. [Laughter]
[Inaudible]. Good? Yeah?
Governor, you want to come up here?
[Crosstalk]
Purely as a matter of honor. It has nothing to do with height. We just want the governor to be in the proper place here for this photo.

[Crosstalk]
Congratulations to you guys.
[Inaudible]
[Crosstalk]
Yeah. We've had -- we've had a lot of those mornings the past few days where you just want the kids to sleep because we get back from these balls so late, and of course they wake up at 6:12, time to feed me.
[Crosstalk]
I will. Yeah. She's -- she wanted to be here. She's just at the, I guess her new house, uh, getting things set up for the kids. So --
