00:00:00.000
So, Trump won the election yesterday, and I was a little bit nervous.
00:00:07.480
I saw him taking over swing state by swing state by swing state last night.
00:00:13.580
And I was afraid to fall asleep because last time I fell asleep, I woke up and the Democrats,
00:00:22.680
So, when I woke up today and I saw that Kamala actually succeeded or admitted that she lost,
00:00:33.020
So, we're going to react to her concession speech to start because I haven't seen this yet.
00:00:51.400
So, let me say, and I love you back, and I love you back.
00:01:00.160
My heart is full today, full of gratitude for the trust you have placed in me,
00:01:07.620
full of love for our country, and full of resolve.
00:01:11.960
The outcome of this election is not what we wanted, not what we fought for, not what we voted for.
00:01:23.000
But hear me when I say, hear me when I say, the light of America's promise will always burn bright,
00:01:33.280
as long as we never give up, and as long as we keep fighting.
00:01:40.740
To my beloved Doug and our family, I love you so very much.
00:01:45.460
To President Biden and Dr. Biden, thank you for your faith and support.
00:01:49.760
To Governor Walz and the Walz family, I know your service to our nation will continue.
00:01:55.520
And to my extraordinary team, to the volunteers who gave so much of themselves,
00:02:03.700
to the poll workers and the local election officials, I thank you.
00:02:09.940
Look, I am so proud of the race we ran, and the way we ran it, and the way we ran it.
00:02:17.640
Over the 107 days of this campaign, we have been intentional about building community
00:02:25.260
and building coalitions, bringing people together from every walk of life and background,
00:02:42.240
Oh, oh, I love this country so much that we're gonna increase the price of everything
00:02:52.540
Oh, I love this country so much that we're just gonna let whoever in the southern border.
00:03:06.200
I mean, at the southern border, they might as well say, you get in.
00:03:17.320
In our fight for America's future, and we did it with the knowledge that we all have
00:03:26.200
But we must accept the results of this election.
00:03:29.580
Earlier today, I spoke with President-elect Trump and congratulated him on his victory.
00:03:35.680
I also told him that we will help him and his team with their transition,
00:03:41.160
and that we will engage in a peaceful transfer of power.
00:03:45.520
A fundamental principle of American democracy is that when we lose an election, we accept the results.
00:03:52.180
That principle, as much as any other, distinguishes democracy from monarchy.
00:03:59.800
I hate it when people use big words for no reason.
00:04:05.640
And anyone who seeks the public trust must honor it.
00:04:09.820
At the same time, in our nation, we owe loyalty not to a president or a party,
00:04:21.100
You're acting like Democrats care about the Constitution.
00:04:43.960
Literally half of your campaign has been, let me kill my kid.
00:04:51.940
I'm here to say, while I concede this election, I do not concede the fight that fueled this campaign.
00:05:01.540
The fight, the fight for freedom, for opportunity, for fairness, and the dignity of all people.
00:05:11.960
A fight for the ideals at the heart of our nation, the ideals that reflect America at our best.
00:05:28.660
I will never give up the fight for a future where Americans can pursue their dreams, ambitions, and aspirations.
00:05:38.080
Where the women of America have the freedom to make decisions about their own body.
00:05:51.140
I am so sick of them telling me this every other day.
00:05:59.420
You're a woman, and you can't make decisions for your own body.
00:06:08.380
You can drive to another state and get an abortion.
00:06:12.740
She just brought up God, and then now is bringing up abortion.
00:06:19.360
And not have their government telling them what to do.
00:06:24.760
We will never give up the fight to protect our schools and our streets from gun violence.
00:06:31.360
Right after she said, right after she said that they care about the Constitution.
00:06:40.420
And America, we will never give up the fight for our democracy.
00:06:53.860
For the rule of law, for equal justice, and for the sacred idea that every one of us,
00:07:02.740
no matter who we are or where we start out, has certain fundamental rights and freedoms
00:07:13.280
And we will continue to wage this fight in the voting booth, in the courts, and in the public
00:07:21.620
And we will also wage it in quieter ways, in how we live our lives, by treating one another
00:07:28.720
with kindness and respect, by looking in the face of a stranger and seeing a neighbor, by
00:07:41.420
Okay, so I wanted to talk about the places that Kamala can apply for a job.
00:07:48.640
Now, obviously Kamala is unemployed, and she's really got to get her resume up and running, and she's
00:07:58.020
really, she's really got to improve, you know, her future.
00:08:15.200
She did not pull, she lost the election because she was not able to appeal to white women.
00:08:21.580
White women voted more for Trump than they did Kamala.
00:08:24.580
So she can increase that appeal by going to Starbucks.
00:08:28.080
Number three, she can go work as a garbage man, woman.
00:08:34.880
I really think maybe she should look at an infrastructure job.
00:08:43.720
And I, I think maybe her and Stacey Abrams, you know, they're very good with fancy talk,
00:08:49.980
and maybe they could be a server, show people where their seats are.
00:09:01.640
I don't think OnlyFans is a great route for her to go down.
00:09:05.180
And the reason is, I'm not sure she would make a lot of money.
00:09:11.120
OnlyFans is a competitive market, and it is, it is a real job, right?
00:09:18.280
So, you know, she could go back to being a lawyer.
00:09:22.120
And I know that Diddy's team, uh, or Diddy has some friends that are looking for one.
00:09:38.200
To fight for the dignity that all people deserve.
00:09:55.060
Okay, so if she likes hard work, where could she work?
00:10:00.680
Do you think an oil rig maybe she should apply?
00:10:21.760
To the young people who are watching, it is okay.
00:10:29.740
On the campaign, I would often say, when we fight, we win.
00:10:48.300
Don't ever stop trying to make the world a better place.
00:11:06.200
You know, I think that would be a good boots-on-the-ground job for her.
00:11:10.200
Don't you ever listen when anyone tells you something is impossible because it has never
00:11:18.480
You have the capacity to do extraordinary good in the world.
00:11:24.560
And so to everyone who is watching, do not despair.
00:11:47.180
This is a time to organize, to mobilize, and to stay engaged for the sake of freedom and justice.
00:11:58.680
And the future that we all know we can build together.
00:12:03.700
Look, many of you know I started out as a prosecutor, and throughout my career, I saw people at some
00:12:11.640
People who had suffered great harm and great pain.
00:12:15.360
And yet found within themselves the strength and the courage and the resolve to take the stand, to take
00:12:28.020
a stand, to fight for justice, to fight for themselves, to fight for others.
00:12:48.440
There's an adage an historian once called a law of history, true of every society across the ages.
00:12:57.240
The adage is, only when it is dark enough can you see the stars.
00:13:03.340
I know many people feel like we are entering a dark time.
00:13:08.100
But for the benefit of us all, I hope that is not the case.
00:13:22.720
This is going to be an amazing time to be alive.
00:13:26.800
America, if it is, let us fill the sky with the light of a brilliant, brilliant billion of stars.
00:13:36.880
The light, the light of optimism, of faith, of truth, and service.
00:13:46.260
And may that work guide us, even in the face of setbacks, toward the extraordinary promise of the United States of America.
00:14:05.640
And may God bless the United States of America.
00:14:13.760
That was the worst presidential candidate that I have seen in my lifetime.
