0:33
cause of
0:35
democracy the people the will of the
0:38
people has been heard and the will of
0:41
the people has been
0:43
heeded we've learned again that
0:47
democracy is
0:48
precious democracy is
0:51
fragile and at this hour my friends
0:54
democracy has prevailed
1:02
so now on this Hallowed Ground we just a
1:05
few days
1:07
ago violence sought to shape the
1:09
capital's very
1:11
Foundation we come together as one
1:14
nation under God
1:17
indivisible to carry out the peaceful
1:20
transfer of power as we have for more
1:24
than two
1:25
centuries as we look ahead and our
1:28
uniquely American
1:30
way Restless bold
1:35
optimistic and set our sights on the
1:38
nation we know we can be and we must
1:42
be I thank my predecessors of both
1:45
parties for their presence here
1:48
today I thank them from the bottom of my
1:50
heart and I
1:57
know and I know the resilience of our
2:01
Constitution and the strength the
2:04
strength of our
2:06
nation as does President Carter who I
2:10
spoke with last night who cannot be with
2:12
us today but whom we salute for his
2:15
lifetime and
2:21
service I've just taken the sacred oath
2:24
each of those
2:26
Patriots have taken the oath first sworn
2:29
B by George
2:32
Washington but the American story
2:35
depends not on any one of us not on some
2:39
of us but on all of us on we the
2:45
people who seek a more perfect
2:48
union this is a great
2:51
nation we are good people and over the
2:55
centuries through storm and
2:57
strife in peace and in war we've come so
3:01
far but we still have far to
3:06
go we'll press forward with speed and
3:09
urgency for we have much to do in this
3:12
winter of peril and significant
3:16
possibilities much to repair much to
3:19
restore much to heal much to build and
3:23
much to
3:25
gain few people in our nation's history
3:30
have been more
3:32
challenged or found a time more
3:34
challenging or difficult than the time
3:37
we're in
3:39
now once in a century virus that
3:42
silently stalks the country is taken as
3:46
many lives in one year as America lost
3:49
in all of World War
3:53
II millions of jobs have been lost
3:57
hundreds of thousands of businesses
3:59
closed
4:01
a cry for racial Justice some 400 years
4:04
in the making moves us the dream of
4:08
justice for all will be deferred no
4:15
longer a cry for survival comes from
4:18
planet itself a cry that can't be any
4:22
more desperate or any more clear and now
4:26
arise of political extremism white
4:29
supremacy
4:30
domestic
4:31
terrorism that we must confront and we
4:34
will
4:39
defeat to overcome these challenges to
4:42
restore the soul and secure the future
4:45
of
4:45
America requires so much more than
4:49
words it requires the most elusive of
4:53
all things in a
4:55
democracy
4:57
Unity Unity
5:00
in another
5:02
January on New Year's Day in
5:06
1863 Abraham Lincoln signed the
5:08
Emancipation
5:11
Proclamation when he put pen to paper
5:13
the president said and I quote if my
5:16
name ever goes down into history it'll
5:20
be for this act and my whole soul is in
5:26
it my whole soul is in it
5:30
today on this January day my whole soul
5:34
is in this bringing America together
5:38
uniting our people uniting our nation
5:42
and I ask every American to join me in
5:45
this
5:52
cause uniting to fight the foes we Face
5:57
anger resentment and hatred
6:01
extremism
6:03
lawlessness violence disease joblessness
6:06
and
6:07
hopelessness with unity we can do great
6:11
things important
6:13
things we can write wrongs we can put
6:16
people to work in good jobs we can teach
6:19
our children in safe schools we can
6:22
overcome the deadly
6:24
virus we can reward reward work and
6:28
rebuild the middle class and make Health
6:30
Care secure for all we can deliver
6:32
racial Justice and we can make America
6:35
once
6:35
again the leading Force for good in the
6:41
world I know speaking of
6:43
unity can sound to some like a foolish
6:46
fantasy these
6:48
days I know the forces that divide us
6:51
are deep and they are
6:54
real but I also know they are not new
6:58
our his has been a constant
7:01
struggle between the American ideal that
7:05
we're all are created equal and the
7:08
harsh ugly reality that racism nativism
7:13
fear
7:16
demonization have long torn us
7:19
apart the battle is
7:22
perennial and victory is never
7:25
assured through Civil War the Great
7:27
Depression World War
7:30
911 through struggles sacrifice and
7:33
setbacks our better angels have always
7:37
prevailed in each of these moments
7:40
enough of us enough of us have come
7:44
together to carry all of us
7:48
forward and we can do that
7:51
now history faith and reason show the
7:56
way the way of unity
7:59
we can see each other not as adversaries
8:01
but as neighbors we can treat each other
8:04
with dignity and
8:06
respect we can join
8:08
forces stop the shouting and lower the
8:12
temperature for without Unity there is
8:16
no peace only bitterness and fury no
8:21
progress only exhausting
8:24
outrage no Nation only a state of Chaos
8:30
this is our historic moment of Crisis
8:33
and
8:34
Challenge and unity is the path
8:39
forward and we must meet this moment as
8:43
the United States of America if we do
8:47
that I guarantee you we will not fail we
8:51
have never ever ever ever failed in
8:55
America we've acted
8:58
together and so
9:01
today at this time in this place let's
9:05
start aresh all of us let's begin to
9:08
listen to one another again hear one
9:11
another see one another show respect to
9:16
one
9:17
another politics doesn't have to be a
9:19
raging fire destroying everything in its
9:24
path every disagreement doesn't have to
9:28
be a cause for total
9:30
war and we must reject the culture in
9:34
which facts themselves are
9:37
manipulated and even
9:47
manufactured my fellow Americans we have
9:50
to be different than this America has to
9:53
be better than this and I believe
9:55
America is so much better than this just
9:57
look around
9:59
here we stand in the shadow of the
10:01
capital Dome as was mentioned earlier
10:04
completed amid the Civil War when the
10:07
union itself was literally hanging in
10:10
the
10:10
balance yet we
10:13
endured we
10:15
prevailed here we
10:17
stand looking out on the Great
10:20
Mall where Dr King spoke of his
10:23
dream Here We Stand were 108 years ago
10:27
at another inaugural thousands of
10:30
protesters tried to block Brave women
10:34
Marching for the right to
10:36
vote and today we Mark the swearing into
10:40
the first woman in American history
10:42
elected to national office vice
10:45
president of KLA Harris don't tell me
10:48
things can't
10:51
change Here We Stand across the pic from
10:55
Arlington Cemetery where Heroes who gave
11:00
the last full measure devotion rest in
11:03
Eternal
11:04
peace and here we
11:07
stand just days after a rius mob thought
11:11
they could use violence to silence the
11:14
will of the people to stop the work of
11:17
our democracy to drive us from this
11:20
sacred
11:21
ground it did not happen it will never
11:25
happen not today not tomorrow not ever
11:30
not
11:39
ever all those who supported our
11:43
campaign I'm humbled by the faith you've
11:45
placed in us to all those who did not
11:48
support us let me say
11:51
this hear me out as we move forward take
11:55
a measure of me and my
11:57
heart if you still disag agree so be it
12:01
that's
12:02
democracy that's
12:04
America the right to descent peaceably
12:08
than the guard rails of our Republic is
12:10
perhaps this nation's greatest
12:13
strength yet hear me
12:15
clearly disagreement must not lead to
12:19
disunion and I pledge this to you I will
12:23
be a president for all Americans all
12:27
Americans
12:32
and I promise you I will fight as hard
12:34
for those who did not support me as for
12:36
those who
12:44
did many centuries
12:46
ago St Augustine a saint of my
12:50
church wrote that a people was a
12:54
multitude defined by the common objects
12:57
of their love defined by the common
13:00
objects of their love what are the
13:03
common objects We As Americans love that
13:06
Define us As
13:08
Americans I think we know
13:12
opportunity
13:13
security Liberty dignity respect
13:18
honor and yes the
13:23
truth recent weeks and months have
13:26
taught us a painful lesson there is
13:29
truth and there are
13:32
lies lies toll for power and for
13:36
profit and each of us has a duty and a
13:40
responsibility as Citizens As Americans
13:43
and especially as Leaders leaders who
13:46
have pledged to honor our Constitution
13:49
and protect our nation to defend the
13:52
truth and defeat the
13:55
lies look
14:00
I
14:01
understand that many of my fellow
14:03
Americans view the
14:05
future was fear and
14:07
trepidation I understand they worry
14:10
about their
14:11
jobs I understand like my dad they lay a
14:14
bed staring at the at night staring at
14:16
the ceiling wondering can I keep my
14:19
health care can I pay my
14:22
mortgage thinking about their
14:25
families about what comes next
14:29
I promise you I get
14:32
it but the answer is not to turn inward
14:35
to retreat into competing
14:38
factions distrusting those who don't
14:41
look like look like you or worship the
14:44
way you do or don't get their news from
14:47
the same sources you
14:49
do we must end this uncivil
14:52
war the pits red against
14:56
Blue rural versus earland or or rural
15:00
versus Urban conservative versus
15:03
liberal we can do this if we open our
15:08
souls instead of hardening our hearts if
15:12
we show a little tolerance and
15:15
humility and if we're willing to stand
15:19
in the other person's shoes as my mom
15:21
would say just for a moment stand in
15:24
their
15:27
shoes because here's the thing about
15:32
life there's no accounting for what fate
15:35
will deal
15:37
you some
15:39
days when you need a
15:41
hand there are other
15:44
days when we're called to lend a
15:47
hand that's how it has to be that's what
15:50
we do for one another and if we are this
15:54
way our country will be stronger more
15:57
prosperous more ready for the future and
16:01
we can still
16:03
disagree my fellow Americans in the work
16:07
ahead of us we're going to need each
16:09
other we need all our strength to preser
16:13
to
16:14
persevere through this dark
16:16
winter we're entering what may be the
16:19
toughest and deadliest period of the
16:22
virus we must set aside politics and
16:25
finally face this pandemic as one nation
16:29
yes one
16:32
nation and I promise you
16:34
this as the Bible says weeping may
16:38
endure for a night but joy cometh in the
16:41
morning we will get through this
16:46
together
16:48
together look

17:52
