How -- humor and I have -- her brother on out on the I don't you -- you Tobin and you brother tonight I'm what do you think about Dennis and of the back and forth and how to think the vice president treat your brother.

You know it was.

I kept putting myself in in Paul's shoes.

Because I thought I found -- a bit of odd.

Display of of of the -- sort of tactics and and I was really proud of Paul.

Continuing did behave the way frankly we were raised and being respectful and in trying to create.

A nice little blunt conversation so that so that the public can truly hear each other's.

Perspectives and and so I was I was probably appalled that it sort of fall prey to the it's the sort of tactics of constant eruption.

And got you know.

You know it he.

You know I think he he had held himself above the fray and.

Yeah claim that there's I don't know is that this is not your first campaign.

With your brother -- that do you it UN -- moved back from London years ago though it helped launch his first campaign how -- you ever think that when he came back -- to -- at first campaign that can be sitting here tonight watching your brother in law.

Now I I absolutely did not but well is the amazing thing was tonight we were surrounded and note.

40500.

People.

In the room.

And it just felt so amazing to be surrounded by family and friends.

I was at sixteen sitting next to a gentleman whose son is a good friend with.

My son we -- they play soccer together and he just leaned over grabbed my hand and said.

Paul's doing great we're so proud of them and and I think it summed up what everyone in that room felt we were just so proud of Paul and representing -- also well.

Don't where's your mother tonight.

She's there she's in Kentucky.

And god -- and guys she didn't have a phone with her now but it but someone outside has sent me an email if you wanted to know also like Paul did.

How everybody -- here and so I'm sure she is beaming with pride tonight.

Oakley did it bother you at all the smiling -- -- Twitter universe is sort of -- live tonight about death I was in Vice President Biden supporters were very passionate about what he did -- support -- but a lot of people didn't like that smiling down the Vice President Biden did the body of -- I like to be -- and it can't solve focus on Paul.

I think Paul conducted himself with dignity and respect.

And I think what I saw with someone who was presidential and I'll leave it at that.
