1 00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:04,000 Speaker 1: The forty sixth President of the United States, Joseph robin 2 00:00:04,040 --> 00:00:08,360 Speaker 1: At Biden of Delaware, has just concluded his historic remarks 3 00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:13,200 Speaker 1: from behind the Resolute desk in the Oval Office that 4 00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:17,640 Speaker 1: was first sat in by Theodore Roosevelt at the turn 5 00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:22,400 Speaker 1: of the twentieth century. From their President, Biden explained to 6 00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:27,400 Speaker 1: the country his decision to step aside and to pass 7 00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:33,920 Speaker 1: the torch to a new generation. What the American people 8 00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:38,560 Speaker 1: witnessed after nine years of Donald Trump was something astonishing. 9 00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:45,080 Speaker 1: What they witnessed was love, service, humility, grace. What they 10 00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:48,120 Speaker 1: witnessed was a president of the United States putting the 11 00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:51,640 Speaker 1: country first. And now, at this hour, one hundred and 12 00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:56,320 Speaker 1: three days before the election, there is a duality. Donald 13 00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:59,440 Speaker 1: Trump is the man who would not leave power, who 14 00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:02,240 Speaker 1: would not give it up. Donald Trump is the man 15 00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:06,520 Speaker 1: who launched an insurrection. He has been effective during these 16 00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:12,640 Speaker 1: last years at blurring the lines and making meaningless the investigations, 17 00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:16,560 Speaker 1: at blurring everything that has come this way, because he 18 00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:19,440 Speaker 1: has always been able to point at the other side, 19 00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:22,959 Speaker 1: to point at the excesses. What was missing from the 20 00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:29,440 Speaker 1: equation was an act, a deed, an action, something so unexpected, 21 00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:33,800 Speaker 1: so awesome, something coming from a place of a deep 22 00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:38,280 Speaker 1: love of country, a notion of deep service and duty. 23 00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:41,479 Speaker 1: And that is what President Biden did, and that's what 24 00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:46,000 Speaker 1: marks this address among the most important in the history 25 00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:49,800 Speaker 1: of the United States, as he passed to torch to 26 00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:55,480 Speaker 1: a new generation, stepping aside and importantly reminding the American 27 00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:59,560 Speaker 1: people of their duty, saying to the American people, I 28 00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:03,480 Speaker 1: have the race. I have fought the good fight, and 29 00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:06,640 Speaker 1: now it's in your hands. And it is for we 30 00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:13,120 Speaker 1: are Steward's temporary custodians of the greatest idea and experiment 31 00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:16,079 Speaker 1: in history. And that's what we all share in common. 32 00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:20,480 Speaker 1: And now Vice President Harris will be the leader of 33 00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:25,120 Speaker 1: the Democratic Party. President Biden shed that tonight. He remains, 34 00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:28,000 Speaker 1: of course, the commander in chief, the head of state, 35 00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:31,640 Speaker 1: president of the United States. We have only one of 36 00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:35,919 Speaker 1: those at a time. But it's Kamala Harris's party. Now, 37 00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:40,560 Speaker 1: it's the time of the Harris Democrat. Kamala Harris will 38 00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:44,120 Speaker 1: put together her ticket, and that ticket will offer the 39 00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:49,840 Speaker 1: American people the choice of continuity, to maintain the United 40 00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:54,520 Speaker 1: States as a free society, to retain the presidency as 41 00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:58,760 Speaker 1: an office that is responsive to the people. What President 42 00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:02,760 Speaker 1: Biden did tonight was extraordinary. He did it from a 43 00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:06,040 Speaker 1: desk that was made from the timbers of a British 44 00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:11,040 Speaker 1: warship salvaged by the Americans. Queen Victoria presented it to 45 00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:14,760 Speaker 1: rutherder b Hayes. The Resolute was the name of the ship, 46 00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:17,840 Speaker 1: and thus the name of the desk. It was John 47 00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:21,799 Speaker 1: Kennedy's desk. He sat there well. He contemplated the end 48 00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:25,000 Speaker 1: of the world and saved it During the Cuban missile crisis. 49 00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:29,919 Speaker 1: Franklin Roosevelt mixed cocktails at that desk. Winston Churchill sat 50 00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:34,560 Speaker 1: there with him. It is a place where momentous things 51 00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:39,480 Speaker 1: have occurred, and tonight was a momentous event. Joe Biden 52 00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:43,040 Speaker 1: put his country first and walked away from power. And 53 00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:48,040 Speaker 1: while he did that, Kamala Harris has launched into the stratosphere. 54 00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:53,160 Speaker 1: It will be a tough, mean, ugly race with everything 55 00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:57,280 Speaker 1: on the line. Remember what we are defending and what 56 00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:01,280 Speaker 1: we are fighting for is something very beautiful. President Biden 57 00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:05,280 Speaker 1: talked about that tonight. We should heed his words. History 58 00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:09,160 Speaker 1: will remember this man, the forty sixth president, as a 59 00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:14,440 Speaker 1: legislative giant. His domestic legislative record is without peer. With 60 00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:18,479 Speaker 1: the exception of Lyndon Johnson. In the last eighty years, 61 00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:22,560 Speaker 1: President Biden has been a consequential president, one of the 62 00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:28,120 Speaker 1: most significant one term presidencies in American history, and he 63 00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:32,400 Speaker 1: did something a great service to the country by coming 64 00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:36,560 Speaker 1: out of retirement. President Biden was the only Democrat who 65 00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:40,280 Speaker 1: could have beaten Donald Trump in the plague filled year 66 00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:43,919 Speaker 1: of twenty twenty. He did it, and now he is 67 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:47,359 Speaker 1: making it possible for Donald Trump to be knocked on 68 00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:51,080 Speaker 1: his ass, which must happen. He was the worst president 69 00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:54,760 Speaker 1: in American history. He is a fascist, a man of 70 00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:59,000 Speaker 1: cruelty and violence. He is too old to be president. 71 00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:01,920 Speaker 1: He is in co a hearing is a mess. It 72 00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:05,360 Speaker 1: is time to pass the torch. It is time to 73 00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:09,040 Speaker 1: end this era. It is time to elect Vice President 74 00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:13,200 Speaker 1: Kamala Harris to be forty seventh President of the United 75 00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:18,679 Speaker 1: States of America.
