00:00For over 200 years, America has carried out the greatest experiment in self-government

00:07in the history of the world.

00:09That's not hyperbole.

00:10That's a fact.

00:11We're the people.

00:13The people vote and choose their own leaders, and they do it peacefully.

00:17And we're in a democracy.

00:19The will of the people always prevails.

00:23Yesterday, I spoke with President-elect Trump to congratulate him on his victory.

00:29And I assured him that I would direct my entire administration to work with his team

00:35to ensure a peaceful and orderly transition.

00:39That's what the American people deserve.

00:41Yesterday, I also spoke with Vice President Harris.

00:46She's been a partner and a public servant.

00:50She ran an inspiring campaign, and everyone got to see something that I learned early

00:54on to respect so much, her character.

00:58She has a backbone like a ramrod.

01:00She has great character, true character.

01:03She gave her whole heart and effort, and she and her entire team should be proud of the

01:07campaign they ran.

01:10You know, the struggle for the soul of America, since our very founding, has always been an

01:17ongoing debate and still vital today.

01:23I know for some people, it's a time for victory, to state the obvious.

01:28For others, it's a time of loss, campaigns or contests, of competing visions.

01:35The country chooses one or the other.

01:39We accept the choice the country made.

01:42I've said many times, you can't love your country only when you win.

01:49You can't love your neighbor only when you agree.

01:55Something I hope we can do, no matter who you voted for, is see each other not as adversaries

02:02but as fellow Americans, bring down the temperature.

02:05I also hope we can lay to rest the question about the integrity of the American electoral

02:11system.

02:12It is honest, it is fair, and it is transparent, and it can be trusted, win or lose.

02:22I also hope we can restore the respect for all our election workers who busted their

02:28necks and took risks at the outset.

02:31We should thank them, thank them for staffing voting sites, counting the votes, protecting

02:37the very integrity of the election.

02:40Many of them are volunteers who do it simply out of love for their country, and as they

02:47did, as they did their duty as citizens, I will do my duty as President.

02:53I'll fulfill my oath, and I will honor the Constitution.

02:58On January 20th, we'll have a peaceful transfer of power here in America.

03:05To all our incredible staff, supporters, cabinet members, all the people who have been hanging

03:09out with me for the last four years, God love you, as my mother would say, thank you

03:14so much.

03:15You put so much into the past four years.

03:17I know it's a difficult time.

03:19You're hurting.

03:20I hear you and I see you, but don't forget, don't forget all that we accomplished.

03:27It's been a historic presidency, not because I'm President, because what we've done, what

03:32you've done, a presidency for all Americans.

03:37Most of the work we've done is already being felt by the American people, but the vast

03:41majority of it will not be felt over the next 10 years.

03:47We have legislation we passed that's just only now just really kicking in.

03:53We're going to see over a trillion dollars worth of infrastructure work done, changing

03:57people's lives in rural communities and communities that are in real difficulty, because it takes

04:04time to get it done, and so much more it's going to take time, but it's there.

04:12The road ahead is clear, assuming we sustain it.

04:15There's so much, so much we can get done and will get done based on the way the legislation

04:21was passed, and it's truly historic.

04:25You know, we're leaving behind the strongest economy in the world.

04:31I know people are still hurting, but things are changing rapidly.

04:37Together we've changed America for the better.

04:40Now we have 74 days to finish the term, our term.

04:45Let's make every day count.

04:48That's the responsibility we have to the American people.

04:50Look, folks, you all know it in your lives.

04:54Setbacks are unavoidable, but giving up is unforgivable.

05:01We all get knocked down, but the measure of our character, as my dad would say, is how

05:04quickly we get back up.

05:07Remember, a defeat does not mean we are defeated.

05:12We lost this battle.

05:15The America of your dreams is calling for you to get back up.

05:21That's the story of America for over 240 years and counting.

05:28It's a story for all of us, not just some of us.

05:32The American experiment endures.

05:35We're going to be okay, but we need to stay engaged.

05:40We need to keep going.

05:42And above all, we need to keep the faith.

05:46I'm so proud to have worked with all of you.

05:49I really mean it.

05:51I sincerely mean it.

05:53God bless you all.

05:56God bless you all.

05:58God bless America.

06:00And may God protect our troops.

06:02Thank you, thank you, thank you.
