HERSCHEL WALKER: And he put us here for a reason. And we're here to win this election, or are we not? Hey, so I'm going to tell you this little story. I've been talking about these two little boys. And one little boy is always positive in life. No matter whatever happened to that kid, he was positive about it. But this other little kid, he always negative. No matter whatever was going on in this kid's life, he was negative about everything.
And the father don't know what's going on with these kids, because they're twins, but they're so opposite. So around Christmas time he tried a little experiment. He put this negative kid in his room with nothing but brand new toys. But he put this positive kid in his room with nothing but horse manure.
And after an hour or so, he looked in on this negative little kid and he was complaining. I don't want this. I want that. I don't want this. I want this. And the father knew that this kid was never going to amount to anything, because nothing ever makes him happy.
But he looks in on the kid that's in the room with the horse manure. He got a shovel. He's shoveling in horse manure over his shoulder. He's laughing, and singing, and having a good time.
The first thing the father think is this kid has got to be crazy. But he's their son. What's going on? What's going on, little buddy? You know, Dad, as much horse manure as there is in this room, there must be a pony at the bottom of it. And the reason-- the reason I'm telling you that right now, guys, we got a pony at the end of this right here. I can tell you this right now.

So I want to tell y'all, if you can hang in, hang in there a little bit longer. Just hang in there a little bit longer, because something good, it takes a while for it to get better.
