1
00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:04.120
<v Speaker 1>United States of America you as a vice president and

2
00:00:04.240 --> 00:00:08.880
<v Speaker 1>Democrat presidential candidate. Kamala Harris says she only considered to

3
00:00:08.919 --> 00:00:11.679
<v Speaker 1>the results of twenty twenty four elections as it is

4
00:00:11.720 --> 00:00:14.679
<v Speaker 1>in line with principles of democracy in the North America

5
00:00:14.759 --> 00:00:18.559
<v Speaker 1>country when defeated in an electoral contest, but she has

6
00:00:18.600 --> 00:00:21.480
<v Speaker 1>not considered to the fight that followed her campaign promises

7
00:00:21.480 --> 00:00:23.640
<v Speaker 1>which she will continue the fight on the ground that

8
00:00:23.719 --> 00:00:28.079
<v Speaker 1>when we fight, we win. Though sometimes the fight they

9
00:00:28.120 --> 00:00:32.159
<v Speaker 1>take a wildboat. That doesn't mean winning wouldn't come. Vice

10
00:00:32.240 --> 00:00:36.679
<v Speaker 1>President Kamala Harris, who delivered the concession speech on Wednesday evening,

11
00:00:37.240 --> 00:00:39.960
<v Speaker 1>urged crowd of her supporters to hold the values that

12
00:00:40.119 --> 00:00:43.640
<v Speaker 1>drove her campaign while bracing for the next Trump administration.

13
00:00:44.640 --> 00:00:47.960
<v Speaker 1>She also urged her supporters to accept the results of

14
00:00:48.000 --> 00:00:51.240
<v Speaker 1>the campaign, while taking President Joe Biden for the support

15
00:00:51.359 --> 00:00:55.479
<v Speaker 1>given to her during the electioneering campaign. To my beloved

16
00:00:55.479 --> 00:00:58.719
<v Speaker 1>dog and our family, I love you so very much.

17
00:00:59.479 --> 00:01:02.960
<v Speaker 1>To Press Lean Biden and doctor Biden, thank you for

18
00:01:03.000 --> 00:01:07.439
<v Speaker 1>your fairth and support. To Governor Walls and the world's family.

19
00:01:07.879 --> 00:01:11.519
<v Speaker 1>I know your service to our nation will continue, she said.

20
00:01:12.359 --> 00:01:14.599
<v Speaker 1>I am so proud of the race we run and

21
00:01:14.680 --> 00:01:16.959
<v Speaker 1>the way we run it, and the way we run it.

22
00:01:17.719 --> 00:01:20.799
<v Speaker 1>Over the one hundred and several days of this campaign,

23
00:01:21.280 --> 00:01:25.359
<v Speaker 1>we have been intentional about building community and building coalitions,

24
00:01:25.799 --> 00:01:29.159
<v Speaker 1>bringing people together from every work of life and background,

25
00:01:29.640 --> 00:01:33.120
<v Speaker 1>united by love of country, with enthusisand and joying in

26
00:01:33.159 --> 00:01:37.239
<v Speaker 1>our fight for America's future. Harris said na terms of

27
00:01:37.280 --> 00:01:41.319
<v Speaker 1>her speech reads, thus, my heart is full today, full

28
00:01:41.359 --> 00:01:44.079
<v Speaker 1>of gratitude for the trust you have placed in me,

29
00:01:44.680 --> 00:01:47.760
<v Speaker 1>full of love for our country, and full of resolve.

30
00:01:48.519 --> 00:01:51.159
<v Speaker 1>The outcome of this election is not what to be

31
00:01:51.200 --> 00:01:53.959
<v Speaker 1>wanted or what to be fought for. But hear you

32
00:01:54.040 --> 00:01:57.599
<v Speaker 1>when I say, the light of America's promise will always

33
00:01:57.640 --> 00:02:01.040
<v Speaker 1>bond bright, as long as we never give up, and

34
00:02:01.200 --> 00:02:05.519
<v Speaker 1>as long as we keep fighting. Earlier today I spoke

35
00:02:05.599 --> 00:02:08.879
<v Speaker 1>with President Trump. I told him that we will help

36
00:02:08.960 --> 00:02:11.960
<v Speaker 1>him and his team with the transition, and we will

37
00:02:12.000 --> 00:02:15.919
<v Speaker 1>engage in a peaceful transfer of power in our nation.

38
00:02:16.479 --> 00:02:19.840
<v Speaker 1>We all loyalty not to a president or party, but

39
00:02:19.919 --> 00:02:23.960
<v Speaker 1>to the Constitution of the United States, our conscience, and

40
00:02:24.039 --> 00:02:28.319
<v Speaker 1>our God. My allegiance to all three is why while

41
00:02:28.400 --> 00:02:31.960
<v Speaker 1>I concede this election, I do not concede the fight

42
00:02:32.120 --> 00:02:36.439
<v Speaker 1>that for this campaign. The fight for freedom, for opportunity,

43
00:02:36.759 --> 00:02:40.240
<v Speaker 1>and for finance and the dignity of all people. That

44
00:02:40.520 --> 00:02:43.360
<v Speaker 1>is a fight I will never give up. I will

45
00:02:43.400 --> 00:02:46.400
<v Speaker 1>never give up the fight for a future where Americans

46
00:02:46.439 --> 00:02:51.759
<v Speaker 1>can pursue their dreams, ambitions, and aspirations. A future where

47
00:02:51.800 --> 00:02:54.919
<v Speaker 1>women have the freedom to make decisions about their own

48
00:02:54.960 --> 00:02:58.039
<v Speaker 1>bodies and not have the government telling them what to do,

49
00:02:58.439 --> 00:03:02.159
<v Speaker 1>where we protect our schools and our truths from gun violence.

50
00:03:02.919 --> 00:03:05.639
<v Speaker 1>We will never give up the fight for role of law,

51
00:03:06.120 --> 00:03:09.840
<v Speaker 1>equal justice, and for the second idea that every one

52
00:03:09.919 --> 00:03:12.520
<v Speaker 1>of us, no matter who we are or where we

53
00:03:12.599 --> 00:03:16.080
<v Speaker 1>start out, has settled for the mental rights and freedoms

54
00:03:16.080 --> 00:03:20.360
<v Speaker 1>that must be respected and upheld. To the young people watching,

55
00:03:20.759 --> 00:03:24.960
<v Speaker 1>it is okay to feel sad and disappointed on the campaign.

56
00:03:25.360 --> 00:03:30.080
<v Speaker 1>I would often say, when we fight, we win. Sometimes

57
00:03:30.120 --> 00:03:33.159
<v Speaker 1>the fight takes a while, but that doesn't mean we

58
00:03:33.240 --> 00:03:37.199
<v Speaker 1>won't win. The important thing is to never stop trying

59
00:03:37.240 --> 00:03:40.360
<v Speaker 1>to make the world a better place. There is an

60
00:03:40.400 --> 00:03:43.520
<v Speaker 1>adage only when it is dark enough can you see

61
00:03:43.560 --> 00:03:46.919
<v Speaker 1>the stars. I know many people feel like we are

62
00:03:47.080 --> 00:03:50.800
<v Speaker 1>entering a dark time for the benefits of us all.

63
00:03:51.159 --> 00:03:55.759
<v Speaker 1>I hope that is not the case, but America, if

64
00:03:55.800 --> 00:03:58.400
<v Speaker 1>it is let us fill the sky with the light

65
00:03:58.479 --> 00:04:04.039
<v Speaker 1>of a billion brilliant star. Mady light of optimism, faith, truth,

66
00:04:04.479 --> 00:04:08.240
<v Speaker 1>and service guide us even in the first of setbacks

67
00:04:08.680 --> 00:04:12.560
<v Speaker 1>towards the extraordinary promise of the United States of America.

68
00:04:13.400 --> 00:04:17.639
<v Speaker 1>President John Biden, in a written statement on Wednesday, said,

69
00:04:18.079 --> 00:04:21.040
<v Speaker 1>what America saw today was the Kamala Harris I know

70
00:04:21.279 --> 00:04:25.680
<v Speaker 1>and deeply admiah. She is built a tremendous partner and

71
00:04:25.800 --> 00:04:32.959
<v Speaker 1>public servant, full of integrity, courage, and character. Under extraordinary circumstances,

72
00:04:33.319 --> 00:04:36.759
<v Speaker 1>she started off and led a historic campaign that embodied

73
00:04:36.800 --> 00:04:39.920
<v Speaker 1>what's possible when guided by a strong moral compass and

74
00:04:39.959 --> 00:04:42.439
<v Speaker 1>a clear vision for a nation that is more free,

75
00:04:42.959 --> 00:04:46.879
<v Speaker 1>more just, and full of more opportunities for all Americans.

76
00:04:47.600 --> 00:04:51.279
<v Speaker 1>As I've said before, selecting Kamala was the very first

77
00:04:51.360 --> 00:04:54.480
<v Speaker 1>decision I made when I became the nominee for president

78
00:04:54.600 --> 00:04:58.399
<v Speaker 1>in twenty twenty. It was the best decision I met.

79
00:04:58.879 --> 00:05:02.519
<v Speaker 1>Her story represents it's the best of America's story, and

80
00:05:02.639 --> 00:05:05.680
<v Speaker 1>as she met Claire today, I have no doubt that

81
00:05:05.839 --> 00:05:09.600
<v Speaker 1>she will continue writing that story. She will continue the

82
00:05:09.680 --> 00:05:14.920
<v Speaker 1>fight with purpose, determination and joy. She will continue to

83
00:05:14.959 --> 00:05:19.079
<v Speaker 1>be a champion for all Americans above all she will

84
00:05:19.120 --> 00:05:21.920
<v Speaker 1>continue to be a leader our children will look up

85
00:05:22.120 --> 00:05:24.920
<v Speaker 1>for generations to come, as she puts hers damp on

86
00:05:25.040 --> 00:05:30.800
<v Speaker 1>America's future. Former President Barack Obama, also in a written statement, said,

87
00:05:31.319 --> 00:05:34.920
<v Speaker 1>over the last few weeks and through election day, millions

88
00:05:34.920 --> 00:05:39.079
<v Speaker 1>of Americans cast their votes not just for president, but

89
00:05:39.160 --> 00:05:42.959
<v Speaker 1>for leaders at every level. Now the results are in,

90
00:05:43.439 --> 00:05:46.800
<v Speaker 1>and we want to congratulate President Trump and Senator of

91
00:05:46.920 --> 00:05:51.040
<v Speaker 1>Bands on their victory. This is obviously not the outcome

92
00:05:51.079 --> 00:05:54.759
<v Speaker 1>we had hoped for, given our profound disagreements with the

93
00:05:54.800 --> 00:05:58.959
<v Speaker 1>Republican tickets on a whole host of issues, but living

94
00:05:59.040 --> 00:06:02.279
<v Speaker 1>in a democracy is about recognizing that our point of

95
00:06:02.399 --> 00:06:05.759
<v Speaker 1>view won't always win out and being willing to accept

96
00:06:05.800 --> 00:06:09.800
<v Speaker 1>the peaceful transfer of power. Michelle and I could not

97
00:06:09.959 --> 00:06:13.879
<v Speaker 1>be prouder of Vice President Harris and Governor Wills, two

98
00:06:13.920 --> 00:06:18.560
<v Speaker 1>extraordinary public sermons who run a remarkable campaign, And we

99
00:06:18.680 --> 00:06:21.879
<v Speaker 1>will always be grateful to the staff and volunteers who

100
00:06:22.000 --> 00:06:25.240
<v Speaker 1>put their hearts and sold into electing public sermons that

101
00:06:25.360 --> 00:06:29.120
<v Speaker 1>truly believed in. As I said on the campaign trail,

102
00:06:29.600 --> 00:06:33.240
<v Speaker 1>America has been through a lot over the last few years,

103
00:06:33.279 --> 00:06:36.639
<v Speaker 1>from a historic pandemic and price heights resulting from the

104
00:06:36.680 --> 00:06:39.959
<v Speaker 1>pandemic to rapid change, and the feeling a lot of

105
00:06:40.079 --> 00:06:43.759
<v Speaker 1>folks have that, no matter how hard the work, treading

106
00:06:43.839 --> 00:06:47.519
<v Speaker 1>water is the best that can do. Those conditions have

107
00:06:47.639 --> 00:06:52.079
<v Speaker 1>created headwinds for democratic incumbents around the world, and last

108
00:06:52.160 --> 00:06:55.720
<v Speaker 1>night showed that America is not in new The good

109
00:06:55.800 --> 00:06:59.480
<v Speaker 1>news is that these problems are solvable, but only if

110
00:06:59.519 --> 00:07:02.720
<v Speaker 1>we listen to each other, and only if we abide

111
00:07:02.759 --> 00:07:06.800
<v Speaker 1>by the core constitutional principles and democratic nouns that let

112
00:07:06.879 --> 00:07:10.720
<v Speaker 1>this country greets. In a country as big and diverse

113
00:07:10.759 --> 00:07:14.120
<v Speaker 1>as ours, we won't always see it too I on everything,

114
00:07:15.000 --> 00:07:18.639
<v Speaker 1>but progress requires us to extend good friend and grace,

115
00:07:19.079 --> 00:07:22.920
<v Speaker 1>even to people with whom we deeply disagree. That's how

116
00:07:23.000 --> 00:07:26.120
<v Speaker 1>we've come thus far, and it's how we keep building

117
00:07:26.160 --> 00:07:30.000
<v Speaker 1>a country that is more fair and more just, more equal,

118
00:07:30.079 --> 00:07:30.879
<v Speaker 1>and more free.

119
00:07:31.680 --> 00:07:35.639
<v Speaker 2>My heart is full today. My heart is full today,

120
00:07:36.480 --> 00:07:41.000
<v Speaker 2>full of gratitude for the trust you have placed in me,

121
00:07:42.439 --> 00:07:47.160
<v Speaker 2>full of love for our country, and full of resolve.

122
00:07:48.800 --> 00:07:51.800
<v Speaker 2>The outcome of this election is not what we wanted,

123
00:07:52.879 --> 00:07:57.439
<v Speaker 2>not what we fought for, not what we voted for.

124
00:07:58.560 --> 00:08:02.800
<v Speaker 2>But hear me when I hear me, when I say

125
00:08:03.839 --> 00:08:14.639
<v Speaker 2>the light of America's promise will always burn bright as

126
00:08:14.759 --> 00:08:20.079
<v Speaker 2>long as we never give up and as long as

127
00:08:20.120 --> 00:08:25.319
<v Speaker 2>we keep fighting. Now, I know folks are feeling and

128
00:08:25.399 --> 00:08:28.879
<v Speaker 2>experiencing a range of emotions right now. I get it,

129
00:08:31.519 --> 00:08:35.840
<v Speaker 2>But we must accept the results of this election. Earlier

130
00:08:35.919 --> 00:08:40.080
<v Speaker 2>today I spoke with President elect Trump and congratulated him

131
00:08:40.080 --> 00:08:44.759
<v Speaker 2>on his victory. I also told him that we will

132
00:08:44.799 --> 00:08:48.600
<v Speaker 2>help him and his team with their transition and that

133
00:08:48.639 --> 00:08:54.200
<v Speaker 2>we will engage in a peaceful transfer of power. To

134
00:08:54.360 --> 00:08:57.679
<v Speaker 2>the young people who are watching, it is okay to

135
00:08:57.840 --> 00:09:01.399
<v Speaker 2>feel sad and disappointed, or please know it's going to

136
00:09:01.440 --> 00:09:05.919
<v Speaker 2>be okay. On the campaign, I would often say, when

137
00:09:05.960 --> 00:09:10.080
<v Speaker 2>we fight, we win. But here's the thing. Here's the thing.

138
00:09:10.759 --> 00:09:14.879
<v Speaker 2>Sometimes the fight takes a while. That doesn't mean.

139
00:09:14.720 --> 00:09:15.480
<v Speaker 1>We won't win.

140
00:09:16.639 --> 00:09:21.679
<v Speaker 2>That doesn't mean we won't win. The important thing is,

141
00:09:21.759 --> 00:09:26.120
<v Speaker 2>don't ever give up. Don't ever give up, don't ever

142
00:09:26.360 --> 00:09:31.279
<v Speaker 2>stop trying to make the world a better place. You

143
00:09:31.559 --> 00:09:36.879
<v Speaker 2>have power, You have power, and don't you ever listen

144
00:09:37.679 --> 00:09:42.039
<v Speaker 2>when anyone tells you something is impossible because it has

145
00:09:42.120 --> 00:09:46.360
<v Speaker 2>never been done before. There's an adage and historian once

146
00:09:46.480 --> 00:09:53.320
<v Speaker 2>called a law of history, true of every society across

147
00:09:53.360 --> 00:09:59.279
<v Speaker 2>the ages. The adage is only when it is dark

148
00:09:59.399 --> 00:10:06.080
<v Speaker 2>enough can you see the stars. I know many people

149
00:10:06.200 --> 00:10:10.919
<v Speaker 2>feel like we are entering a dark time, but for

150
00:10:11.000 --> 00:10:14.279
<v Speaker 2>the benefit of us all, I hope that is not

151
00:10:14.440 --> 00:10:17.720
