[02:21] reject cynicism and reject fear. And to summon what is best
[02:25] in us to let Hillary Clinton as the next president of
[02:29] the United States. [ APPLAUSE ] And

[02:36] promise of this great nation. [ APPLAUSE ] Thank
[02:41] you for this incredible journey. [ APPLAUSE ] Let's keep it
[02:44] going. [ MUSIC ]
