12
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:26,680
Doctor. It doesn't matter who the host is. Oh, you know it and so do I. It does not matter who the host

13
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:33,400
is. What has always mattered is who the listeners are. Anyways, I hope everything is good and grand

14
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:40,840
inside of your neck of the woods. Today is Thursday, January the 16th of 2025, day 16th of the year,

15
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:50,200
and only 345 days left to go. We are broadcasting from the Safety FM studios in Orlando, Florida,

16
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:55,640
and coming across the multiverse known as Safety FM and hanging out with our friends and colleagues

17
00:02:55,640 --> 00:03:10,440
over the. Oh yes, hanging out with our friends at Biggest Radio, Radio Biggith. You get it,

18
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:16,680
you know, radio big. You know what I'm saying. So a lot of stuff going on over the last 24 hours.

19
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:22,760
We are probably going to do some different stuff today. Just so you know ahead of time. So I could

20
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:28,120
give you the what's on tab, what the plan is, but I also have some other plans on top of the plan of

21
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:36,120
the plan of the plan. Got it? So if you're good, I'm good and then we can move forward. So let's do

22
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:41,240
this. Let's talk about some of the things that were trending in the overnight. By the way, I guess

23
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:45,160
before I tell you that I should tell you that our shows consist of safety in the news, but today

24
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:50,040
will be a slightly different this kind of how it's going to go today. And then we're going to talk

25
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:54,600
about what's going on inside of the world of music and entertainment and our two and three.

26
00:03:55,400 --> 00:04:00,440
But this morning, last night, there was a well this morning, we're going to talk about some stuff.

27
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:06,680
You're going to be able to call in by going through call in radio.com. That's call in radio.com.

28
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:11,160
Once you get their video, audio and text messaging are some of the options that are available

29
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:17,480
readily for you. And then from that particular point on, we will be able to do the stuff. Some

30
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:21,640
people go, why don't you just go through social media? Well, we'll talk about that and why we

31
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:26,360
don't normally use the social media aspect because I don't pay attention to it in real time. So that's

32
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:33,960
kind of an issue on me, not on you. So that's part of it. That's part of the, of the gig, if one may

33
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:38,760
say it that way. So let's do this. Let's talk about what the hell was trending. Cause that's

34
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:46,040
going to be important. Here is one was trending rated R safety show. Okay. So as I take a look at

35
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:51,640
the trends of the end of the end, a followup with a foul mouth Eagles fan who went viral this week.

36
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:55,880
We'll talk about that as we get into the shit list. Also did Ryan Reynolds create a character

37
00:04:55,880 --> 00:05:03,960
to mock Justin Baldoni? Find out more in showbiz. Also the critics choice award gets postponed again

38
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:11,400
in the Oscars may be axed. Yeah. Not a joke. And then Britain's Harry returns again to the UK

39
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:17,880
to talk about what the hell was going on inside of the Royals. So we're going to do a slew of

40
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:23,080
stuff today. I don't know if I have enough time to do it all, but we're going to figure this out.

41
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:27,480
So we're going to drop into some things sooner rather than later. So let's go ahead and get into

42
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:33,160
the news right now. Cause I think you want to get, you're going to want to know about what the hell

43
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:47,720
is going on there. Here is the news on the safety show from feature story news in London. I'm Ollie

44
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:52,920
Barrett Qatar, the U S and Egypt say they'll work together to ensure Israel and Hamas full

45
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:58,760
fill their obligations for a ceasefire in Gaza. A deal was reached after 15 months of war and is

46
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:04,200
due to come into effect on Sunday. The three phase agreement involves the release of hostages by

47
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:09,880
Hamas and Israeli forces withdrawing from populated areas of Gaza. Former UK Middle East

48
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:14,920
minister Alastair Burt says it's a moment for caution. It's not the end of the matter. Ending

49
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:19,880
the conflict in Gaza is not a peace deal for what has been going on between the Palestinians and

50
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:24,520
the Israelis. There's much more to be done, but you take what you have. And for those who have been

51
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:30,200
most closely involved, they will welcome the opportunity of relief. It's a victory for no

52
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:35,720
one. It's been a catastrophe from October the seventh onwards. The reason for the reluctance

53
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:41,880
in Israel is probably because there is more doubt in Israel about the deal than anywhere else.

54
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:47,000
US president Joe Biden warned an oligarchy is forming in America as he cautioned against the

55
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:52,280
concentration of technology, power and wealth in his farewell speech to the nation. He also

56
00:06:52,280 --> 00:06:56,280
hailed his administration's accomplishments during the address from the Oval Office,

57
00:06:56,280 --> 00:07:02,920
as Kate Fisher reports from Washington. He spent some of the speech trying to define his presidential

58
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:09,320
legacy, speaking about some of his achievements like investment in infrastructure and fighting

59
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:16,200
climate change. But also in a departure from that, he spent most of his speech trying to

60
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:22,520
defend US democracy and talk about the importance of it and the importance of protecting it. There

61
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:29,800
were several warnings within this speech, one of which he spoke about a growing oligarchy,

62
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:36,680
the concentration of very wealthy, many billionaires, in fact, that surrounds President

63
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:44,360
elect Donald Trump warning of having that much power and wealth concentrated in just a few people.

64
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:49,480
South Korea's impeached President Yoon Suk-yul is being questioned by investigators for a second

65
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:55,480
day after his arrest on Wednesday. Rebecca Budden reports. South Korean media reports that impeached

66
00:07:55,480 --> 00:08:00,200
President Yoon refused to answer questions and will face a second day of questioning in relation

67
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:05,640
to the criminal insurrection probe. This follows his short-lived imposition of martial law last

68
00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:10,840
month, which pushed the country into political turmoil, and after which lawmakers voted to

69
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:17,320
impeach him. Authorities have 48 hours to question Yoon, after which they have to seek a warrant to

70
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:23,000
detain him further. Separately, the Constitutional Court is looking at whether to uphold Yoon's

71
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:29,320
impeachment and permanently remove him from office. Rebecca Budden, Tokyo. Volunteers say they think

72
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:34,520
no more illegal miners are trapped underground at the site of a rescue in South Africa. At least

73
00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:39,640
78 bodies and more than 200 survivors have been retrieved since Monday at the gold mine in

74
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:47,880
Stilfontein. From bureaus worldwide, this is FSN. With FSN Spotlight, I'm Simon Marks with more now

75
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:53,800
on the ceasefire agreement struck by Israel and Hamas. Phase one of the agreement is designed to

76
00:08:53,800 --> 00:09:00,520
last six weeks and will include the release of more than 30 hostages held by Hamas in Gaza,

77
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:05,720
the release of hundreds of Palestinian prisoners detained in Israel, and the arrival of hundreds

78
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:12,440
of trucks carrying urgently needed humanitarian aid into Gaza. Alan Lee Green is the founder and

79
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:18,120
co-director of Standing Together, a Jewish-Arab grassroots movement campaigning for peace.

80
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:22,920
He argues the agreement could have been struck months ago. This is a moment to rejoice, this is

81
00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:27,480
a moment to be happy. It's an achievement because our government does not want this ceasefire

82
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:34,440
agreement. It did everything they can to prevent it. Yesterday we heard the Minister Ben-Gvir

83
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:39,320
praising himself saying that he prevented this deal again and again and again. So we are happy

84
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:44,760
tonight but we're still saying this is not the end of our struggle for permanent ceasefire, for

85
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:49,800
wholesome deal to bring back all the hostages because we will not be silent, we will not stop

86
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:55,400
until we will see everyone coming back to their homes, hostages, Palestinians, soldiers. It is a

87
00:09:55,400 --> 00:10:00,360
moment to say yes we achieved something but it's not enough. He says it was pressure from President

88
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:05,640
Elect Donald Trump that forced the Israeli government and Hamas to accept the deal but

89
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:11,720
whether it leads to a permanent ceasefire and new dispensation in Gaza remains an open question.

90
00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:18,120
With FSN Spotlight, I'm Simon Marks. To recap the top stories, Qatar, the US and Egypt say they'll

91
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:23,880
work together to ensure Israel and Hamas fulfil obligations for a ceasefire. US President Biden's

92
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:29,240
warned an oligarchy is forming in the US in a farewell speech to the nation. South Korea's

93
00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:33,880
impeached President Eun Suk Yeol is being questioned by investigators for a second day

94
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:38,040
and volunteers say they think no more illegal minors are trapped underground at the site of

95
00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:43,320
a rescue in South Africa. That's the latest Feature Story News, Oli Barrett reporting.

115
00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:03,640
Okay, here we go. 13 minutes past the top of the hour as we are hanging out. So like I said,

116
00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:09,400
a lot of stuff to talk about today. So let's get into it. The follow up to the foul mouth Eagles

117
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:17,880
fan Ryan Cardell has been fired from his job and has apologized for his gameplay taunts or game day

118
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:22,520
taunts that were captured on video and swiftly went viral in a statement to the New York post.

119
00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:29,400
Cardwell said that it's in part what he began as a banter with two Packer fans sitting near the

120
00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:34,840
escalator, the escalator, escalator, something more serious. And I said things that weren't,

121
00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:39,720
that were unacceptable in the heat of the moment. I chose unforgiving words to address

122
00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:47,160
one of the fans, Miss Ali Keller. He's specifically apologized to just about everyone,

123
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:52,600
including his wife, family and friends by former my former employee colleagues, Packer fans,

124
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:57,560
Eagle fans, Philadelphia Eagles, the city of Philadelphia, and those who were offended,

125
00:13:57,560 --> 00:14:05,160
but wait, Caldwell's country contrition doesn't come without caveats though. He adds the video

126
00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:10,840
clip circulating online does not reflect the full context of what had transpired. And my actions

127
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:16,760
were not without provocation. Keller and her, and her fiance have spoken with local media outlets

128
00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:22,600
and did admit to a bit of a back and forth, but said that Caldwell's behavior got worse after they

129
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:30,280
tried to defuse the tension. This is according to the New York post and TMZ. So let's just kind of

130
00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:37,320
be clear. Don't go to a sporting game and act like an asshole. I think that's kind of simple.

131
00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:42,520
Just not that difficult to do. You're going to watch a sporting game. People are not going to

132
00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:46,600
agree with what you like. People are not going to agree. You know, you don't have to like the same

133
00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:53,480
team and listen, there's no point of the whole thing. It's not like it's your team. It is some

134
00:14:53,480 --> 00:15:00,520
team that plays. And at the end of the day, it has no importance to your life. Seriously.

135
00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:10,280
Anyways, a Colton 9, 11.45 caliber or 44 caliber pistol that was owned by mobster Al Capone is now

136
00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:17,160
on display at the mob museum in Las Vegas as part of the new exhibit, the first public enemy. In

137
00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:23,080
addition to the gun, the short, the short home movie from the 1929 is featured in the clip and

138
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:30,600
Capone stays behind the camera by two as well known associates, Lucky Luciano and Frankie Castello

139
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:37,080
make an appearance. Capone's granddaughter. Yes, Diane Capone Petty donated the item to the museum.

140
00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:43,880
But this is according to AP. So there you go. Also bad bunny is the first Latin artist to have

141
00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:50,520
a hundred careers, hot 100 hits, thank to his latest studio album, David, the dad, most photos,

142
00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:55,880
the album, which launched at number two on the billboard, 200 had 17 tracks on the billboard,

143
00:15:55,880 --> 00:16:03,560
hot 100 leading to new avoid a 27 at the bill on the billboard. So there you go. Also Kylie

144
00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:11,560
Jenner's X Travis rapper, Travis Scott dropped $160,000 on a custom, a Pockle, a Pockle,

145
00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:12,280
a Pockle, a Pockle, a Pockle, a Pockle, a Pockle, a Pockle, a Pockle, a Pockle, a Pockle, a Pockle,

146
00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:19,720
Omega Rex truck. Why does the Kylie Jenner portion play? I don't know. The limited edition Hemi,

147
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:27,000
a hell, a helicat V8 horsepower truck were created to doomsday ready. 717 horsepower,

148
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:34,760
four 40 inch tires, 22 inch rims and a custom fit. No word whether or not the whip has room for

149
00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:41,960
two car seats for Scott and Jenner's two kids. Why in the hell is this even a news story? Maybe

150
00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:46,920
that's the other, the other question there. Anyways, with the Supreme court's decision on

151
00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:52,120
tick tock fade in limbo, the apps management has told the employees that they can continue to count

152
00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:56,120
to count on keeping their jobs in a memo circulated and employees that obtained by

153
00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:03,800
the company promises that you'll have an employment pay and benefits are secure and our offices will

154
00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:09,480
remain open even if the situation hasn't been resolved before January the 19th deadline.

155
00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:16,280
Worth noting though, even if the app ceases operations in the United States, it still does

156
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:21,560
function function internationally despite the high demand investors expressing interest in

157
00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:27,720
purchasing the app. The Chinese parent company ByteDance says that once the band goes into

158
00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:33,480
effect, users will see a screen with information about the restrictions. Also worth noting the text

159
00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:39,640
of the band specifically only restricts new app downloads, but tick tock has publicly said that

160
00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:47,800
it will shut down, shut down off completely access. Yes, so you'll have no access in the United

161
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:54,680
States and president Joe Biden per the law has the ability to extend the deadline for another 90 days,

162
00:17:54,680 --> 00:18:00,840
but must act before January the 19th. So I don't know. I look at this from a weird standpoint.

163
00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:09,960
So if you have something that you're trying to ban because you're saying that the Chinese

164
00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:16,520
Communist Party is having access to the data and people are pissed off about it, that you're shutting

165
00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:26,680
down a platform because potentially there's about 220,000 people that that's their source of income

166
00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:30,600
and other people are just looking at it for the sake of looking at it.

167
00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:40,840
What's more important national security or the 220,000 people? I'm just asking because I need

168
00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:47,080
to have a better understanding here because is something else going to rise up? Now there has

169
00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:54,840
been some rumors circulating that Mr. Beast has some investor billionaire investors that are willing

170
00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:59,720
to buy the app. I've also heard that Kevin O'Leary has some people that are interested. So we'll see

171
00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:06,600
what happens there. Okay. Take a listen to this in the wake of the widespread soft on crime policies

172
00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:13,000
that swept the nation in the recent years. Walgreens notoriously put merchandise behind lock and key

173
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:19,960
to prevent burglaries at high risk areas. The company CEO, Tim Wentworth, says that the policy

174
00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:25,160
ended up being a double-edged sword. When you lock things up, you don't sell as many of them.

175
00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:31,160
And we kind of proven that pretty consecutively, he said in an earnings call this week. While the

176
00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:37,640
measure to prevent the theft from the stores, they also deter shoppers from bothering in the

177
00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:45,640
first place. Year over year, Walgreens saw quarterly losses to get six times worse from $39 million

178
00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:53,400
to $245 million. At the end of 2024, the ominous sales figures come ahead of plans of closing

179
00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:58,920
hundreds of stores this year, according to CBS. You would have thought you would have removed that

180
00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:03,800
stuff. I mean, I'm just saying, okay, so let's do one more real quick. And then we'll get into this.

181
00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:11,160
A United flight had had to abort the takeoff this week when the landing gear hit a coyote on the

182
00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:18,760
runway. The plan bound for Arizona turned back for inspection and had all the passengers deep plane

183
00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:25,240
for another aircraft. Local media points out that the airline did not provide any specific details

184
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:30,600
about the coyote. Very luckily dead status, of course. The incident follows a bizarre scene

185
00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:38,360
from Monday when the police were called to the Chicago area at Aldi to put another or was it the

186
00:20:38,360 --> 00:20:46,680
same coyote out of the refrigerated refrigeration section. So there you go. Let's do what, let's do

187
00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:53,960
the numbers real quick. The Dow increased by 703 points to close at 43,221 on Wednesday and the S&P

188
00:20:53,960 --> 00:21:04,760
increased by let's see 107 points to close at 5949. And the NASDAQ added 466 points to close at

189
00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:13,560
19,511. West Texas intermediate close at $80 a barrel and Brent crude was at $82 a barrel.

190
00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:17,560
The national average price of a gallon of gas was $3.08 on Wednesday and Bitcoin

191
00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:24,920
climbed up on Wednesday. Just over 3% flirting again with $100,000. Friday night's mega million

192
00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:32,040
drawing will be for $113 million jackpot, a $49.2 million cash payout. So if you want to play the game,

193
00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:37,720
let's go ahead and have you do that. No doubt there. So there you go. Something to think about,

194
00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:43,480
something to think about for sure when it's all set and done. So we're going to do something

195
00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:49,800
slightly different today because that is what we do. Cause why keep it all, you know, stagnant if

196
00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:57,080
we have, we don't have to. Here is our main story on the rated R safety show. Okay. So let's talk

197
00:21:57,080 --> 00:22:03,160
about this. We're going into main story, but it's not going to be my main story. What we are going

198
00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:12,200
to do is that last night, if you did not hear it, there was the farewell address, the farewell

199
00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:22,840
address by the president of the United States. He gave his final speech of what exactly was going on

200
00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:29,720
inside of the way that he's seeing the world and the way that his administration is leaving. So

201
00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:35,960
with that being said, this is what I would like to do today. I am going to play the full speech.

202
00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:42,360
So I know that some people will like it. Some people will not. That's just kind of the way that

203
00:22:42,360 --> 00:22:45,800
it goes, but I kind of figure, you know, next week we're going to be doing some different things too

204
00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:52,840
with the new president coming in. So let's talk real quick about all of that stuff. So if you're

205
00:22:52,840 --> 00:23:00,920
ready, I'm ready and we're going to go ahead and do that speech right now. So sit back, relax,

206
00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:08,040
and take a listen to what the president had to say for his final address to the nation from

207
00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:15,320
the oval office. So let's go ahead and do that right now. My fellow Americans, I'm speaking to

208
00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:21,560
you tonight from the office. Before I began, let me speak to important news that from earlier today,

209
00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:29,960
after eight months of nonstop negotiation, my administration, by my administration, a ceasefire

210
00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:35,880
and a hostage deal has been reached by Israel and Hamas, the elements of which I laid out in

211
00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:43,720
great detail in May of this year. This plan was developed and negotiated by my team and will be

212
00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:49,560
largely implemented by the incoming administration. That's why I told my team to keep the incoming

213
00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:55,800
administration fully informed, because that's how it should be, working together as Americans.

214
00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:59,960
This will be my final address to you from the American people from the Oval Office,

215
00:23:59,960 --> 00:24:06,120
from this desk as president. And I've been thinking a lot about who we are and maybe more

216
00:24:06,120 --> 00:24:13,960
importantly, who we should be. Long ago in New York Harbor, an iron worker installed beam after

217
00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:21,720
beam, day after day. He was joined by steel workers, stonemasons, engineers. They built not

218
00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:28,680
just a single structure, but a beacon of freedom. The very idea of America was so big,

219
00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:36,600
we felt the entire world needed to see. The Statue of Liberty, a gift from France after our civil war.

220
00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:42,680
Like the very idea of America, it was built not by one person, but by many people, from every

221
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:50,440
background and from around the world. Like America, the Statue of Liberty is not standing still.

222
00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:57,240
Her foot literally steps forward atop a broken chain of human bondage. She's on the march,

223
00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:04,440
and she literally moves. She was built to sway back and forth to withstand the fury of stormy

224
00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:10,920
weather, to stand the test of time because storms are always coming. She sways a few inches,

225
00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:17,240
but she never falls into the current below. An engineering marvel. The Statue of Liberty is also

226
00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:23,800
an enduring symbol of the soul of our nation. A soul shaped by forces that bring us together

227
00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:29,400
and by forces that pull us apart. And yet through good times and tough times, we've

228
00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:37,720
astute it all. A nation of pioneers and explorers, of dreamers and doers, of ancestors

229
00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:44,040
native to this land, of ancestors that came by force. A nation of immigrants came to build a

230
00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:51,720
better life. A nation holding the torch of the most powerful idea ever in the history of the world.

231
00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:58,600
That all of us, all of us are created equal. That all of us deserve to be treated with dignity,

232
00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:09,960
justice and fairness. That democracy must defend and be defined and be imposed, moved,

233
00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:17,880
and be imposed, moved in every way possible. Our rights, our freedoms, our dreams.

234
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:25,160
But we know the idea of America, our institution, our people, our values that uphold it,

235
00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:31,400
are constantly being tested. Ongoing debates about power and the exercise of power.

236
00:26:32,120 --> 00:26:39,080
But whether we lead by the example of our power or the power of our example, whether we show the

237
00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:46,040
courage to stand up to the abuse of power or we yield to it. After 50 years at the center of all

238
00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:53,080
of this, I know that believing in the idea of America means respecting the institutions that

239
00:26:53,080 --> 00:27:02,040
govern a free society. The presidency, the Congress, the courts, a free and independent press.

240
00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:08,520
Institutions that are rooted, not, they just might not reflect the timeless words, but they

241
00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:16,120
echo the words of the Declaration of Independence. We hold these truths to be self-evident.

242
00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:24,680
Rooted in the timeless words of the Constitution, we the people. Our system of separation of powers

243
00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:31,000
checks and balances. It may not be perfect, but it's maintained our democracy for nearly two

244
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:37,560
hundred and fifty years, longer than any other nation in history that's ever tried such a bold

245
00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:45,000
experiment. In the past four years, our democracy has held strong. And every day I've kept my

246
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:50,440
commitment to be president for all Americans. Through one of the toughest periods in our nation's

247
00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:56,920
history, I've had a great partner and Vice President Kamala Harris spend the honor of my life

248
00:27:56,920 --> 00:28:01,960
to see the resilience of essential workers getting this through once in a century pandemic.

249
00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:07,080
The heroism of service members and first responders keeping us safe.

250
00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:13,960
The determination of advocates standing up for our rights and our freedoms instead of losing their

251
00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:20,760
jobs to an economic crisis that we inherited. Millions of Americans now have the dignity of

252
00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:27,080
work. Millions of entrepreneurs and companies creating new businesses and industries, hiring

253
00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:34,120
American workers, using American products. Together, we've launched a new era of American

254
00:28:34,120 --> 00:28:39,400
possibilities. One of the greatest modernizations of infrastructure in our entire history,

255
00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:45,720
from new roads, bridges, clean water, affordable high speed Internet for every American.

256
00:28:45,720 --> 00:28:51,560
Affordable high speed Internet for every American. We invented the semiconductor,

2
