“Now I'd like to turn to my new friend, Congressman Mark Meadows, from near Ashland, North Carolina. He was newly elected for this Congress. And I'm just going to say this--and I hope this doesn't embarrass you--I consider you a rising star. Your thoughtfulness, your immediate engagement on that which is most important around here, your willingness to look for good outcomes, to me, has been a great example. So we are grateful for your willingness to come tonight, and I turn it over to you.”
