Does "Matt, do you want to kick us off?" mean "Matt, do you want to reject us?"
"Kick off" usually mean "to remove" - it seems to be used figuratively here. I am not sure.
===========
The United States opposes the use of violence by any party. We remain committed to the development of democracy in Somalia, and we want Somalis to enjoy the long-term stability, prosperity, and peace they deserve.
With that, Matt, do you want to kick us off?
