-This is crazy.
This is absolutely insane.
Such at a loss for words.
I mean, I'll find them. Don't worry.
But ridiculous.
First and foremost, my teammates.
Do a shout-out to the teammates.
Just everybody.
[cheers and applause] Give them a clap.
This group is so resilient, is so tough,
has such a sense of humor, is just so badass.
Like, there's nothing -- nothing that can phase this group.
We're chilling.
We got tea sippin'.
We got celebrations.
We have pink hair and purple hair.
We have tattoos, dreadlocks.
We got white girls and black girls
and everything in between, straight girls and gay girls.
Hey!
I couldn't be more proud to be a co-captain with Carli
and Alex with this team.
It's my absolute honor to lead this team out on the field.
There's no other place that I would rather be --
even in the presidential race.
I'm busy. I'm sorry.
To the staff -- to the coaching staff, the technical staff,
to the medical staff, to the support staff,
to the massage therapists, to the videographers --
-Chefs, chefs, chefs! -To the chef!
Chef T! What's good, Chef T?
! [cheers and applause]
To our security, to our media people, thank you so much.
You make our jobs so easy.
We don't have to focus on anything
other than what we have to do on the field.
Thank you for that.
To the Federation -- Carlos, thank you.
You were incredible this World Cup.
I know that you got a little stick
when you were up here, couple chants.
I think that's a sign of affection, though, right?
Like, everybody gets booed.
Everybody in the position of power gets booed.
I'm gonna stick my neck out there a little bit.
I'm gonna endorse Carlos. I think he's with us.
I think he's on the right side of things.
I think he's gonna make things right.
[cheers and applause]
He's proven every day since he's been in office for us
that he's with us.
He was with us every single day of the World Cup,
not only from just a personal standpoint,
how much that means to us,
but just from an outlook standpoint
and all the eyes looking in.
This man was there.
He was in the tunnel every single game.
He was celebrating every single game.
We appreciate that. Thank you.
[cheers and applause]
We look forward to holding those feet to the fire.
To the Mayor's office, Bill de Blasio --
this is our second time around --
and your beautiful wife, thank you for hosting us.
Also, to the Governor -- Coo-whoa-moe is
how I think you pronounce it, right?
Thank you so much for hosting us.
To the NYPD, to the fire department here,
to everyone who made this happen, thank you so much.
This is not possible without everyone.
We really do appreciate all that it takes
to shut down the biggest,
best city in the world -- [cheers and applause]
-- for the biggest, best team in the world!
[cheers and applause] Thank you for that.
That means the world to us.
I think I'll just end with this.
This is my charge to everyone.
We have to be better.
We have to love more, hate less.
We got to listen more and talk less.
We got to know that this is everybody's responsibility,
every single person here --
every single person who's not here,
every single person who doesn't want to be here,
every single person who agrees and doesn't agree.
It's our responsibility to make this world a better place.
I think this team does an incredible job
of taking that on our shoulders and understanding the position
that we have and the platform that we have within this world.
Yes, we play sports.
Yes, we play soccer.
Yes, we're female athletes.
But we're so much more than that.
You're so much more than that.
[cheers and applause] You're more than a fan.
You're more than someone who just supports sports.
You're more than someone who tunes in every four years.
You're someone who walks these streets every single day.
You interact with your community every single day.
How do you make your community better?
How do you make the people around you better --
your family, your closest friends,
the 10 closest people to you, the 20 closest people to you,
the most -- 100 closest people to you?
It's every single person's responsibility.
There's been so much contention in these last years.
I've been a victim of that.
I've been a perpetrator of that.
With our fight with the Federation,
sorry for some of the things that I said.
Not all of the things.
But it's time to come together.
This conversation is at the next step.
We have to collaborate.
It takes everybody.
This is my charge to everybody.
Do what you can. Do what you have to do.
Step outside yourself.
Be more, be better, be bigger than you've ever been before.
If this team is any representation
of what you can be
when you do that, please take this as an example.
This group is incredible.
We took so much on our shoulders to be here today,
to celebrate with you today, and we did it with a smile.
So do the same for us.
Please, I ask you.
[cheers and applause]
New York City, give them [bleep]!
Ye-e-e-e-e-s!
