From the remarks:

In the audience we have somebody that’s under no pressure whatsoever cause he’s got a great quarterback named Tom Brady, and a great coach named Belichick: Bob Kraft. So good luck, Bob. Your friend Tom just called, he feels good. He called to congratulate us, he feels good. Good luck. You’re going to do great things.
