more than 2 centuries ago, with an idea unique among nations than in america, where all created equal. this is where the united states constitution is written and debated. this is where are we set in motion? the most extraordinary experiment of self government the world has ever known with 3 simple words. we the people, we the people, these 2 documents and the ideas embody a quality and democracy. are the rock upon which this nation is built. there are how we became the greatest nation on earth there. why? for more than 2 centuries, america has been a beacon to the world where as i stand here to night,

a quality and democracy are under assault. we do ourselves no favour to pretend otherwise. so to night, i've come to this place where it all began to speak as plainly as i can to the nation. about the threats we face about the power we have in our own hands, the meet these threats and about the incredible future. the lies in front of us. if only we choose, it was never forget we the people are the true airs of the american experiment. that began more than 2 centuries ago. we the people at bernie, inside of each of us, the flame of liberty that was lit here in independence hall,

a flame and lead our way through abolition. the civil war suffrage, the great depression, world wars, civil rights that sacred flame still burns. now in our time, as we build in america is more prosperous, free, and just that is the work of my presidency. a mission i believe in with my whole soul. but 1st, we must be honest with each other and with our sells too much of what's happening in our country today is not normal. donald trump, the miger republicans, represent an extreme ism that threatened the very foundations of our republic. now i want to be very clear, very clear upfront not every public,

not even a majority of public or mag republicans. not every public in embraces are extreme ideology. i know, because i've been able to work with these mainstream republicans. there's no question of the republican party, today's dominated driven, intimidated by donald trump, the mag republicans, and that is a threat to this country. these are hard things when i'm an american president, not a president of red america, blue america, but of all america. and i believe it's my duty, my duty to love with you to tell the truth, no matter how difficult, no matter how painful. and here in my view is what is true. my, your republicans do not respect the constitution. they do not believe in the rule

of law. they do not recognize the will of the people refuse to accept the results of a free election. and they're working right now. as i speak in state after state, to give power to the side elections in america, to partisans and cronies. empowering the election deniers to undermine democracy itself. by forces are determined to take this country backwards, backwards to america, where there is no right to choose. no right to privacy? no right to contraception. no right to marry who you love? they promote authoritarian leaders and they fanned the flames of political violence that are a threat to our personal rights to the pursuit of justice to the rule of law. the very soul of this country, they look at the mob, the storm, the united states,

capital on january 6, brutally attacking law enforcement. not as insurrection is placed a dagger at the throat of our democracy. but they look at those patriots. and they see their mag, a failure to stop a peaceful transfer of power after the 2020 election as preparation for the 2020 june 2024 elections. very dr. everything last time. the nullify the boat of 81000000 people this time are determined is exceed and warding one of the people. that's why, respect to conservatives, like federal circuit court judge, michael ludwig has called trump in a stream. maggie republicans voted clear and present danger to our democracy

while the threat to american lockers israel. i want to say as clearly as we can we are not powerless in the face of these threats. we are not. 7 bystanders in this ongoing attack on democracy, there are far more americans, far more americans, readily from every background, a belief to reject the extreme mag ideology than those that accept it. folks is within our power, it's in our hands, yours and mine. to stop the assault american democracy, i believe america has added inflection point one of those moments at the term and the shape of everything that to come after. and now, america must choose to move forward or to move backwards to bill the

future. obsess about the past to be nation of hope in unity, in optimism or nation of fear. division and of darkness. bag of republics made their choice. they embrace anger. they thrive on chaos. they live not in the light of truth but in the shadow of lies. but together, together we can choose a different path. we can choose a better path, forward to the future. future a possibility, a future, the build and dream and oh, and we're on that path. moving ahead. i know this nation. i know you the american people, i know your courage. i know your hearts and i know our history. this is a nation and honors our constitution. we do not rejected this

a nation. i believe the rule of law. we do not repudiated. this is a nation that respects free and fair elections. we honor the will, the people we do not deny it and this is a nation that rejects violence as a political tool. we do not encourage violence, we are still on american the believes and honesty, indecency, and respect for others, traitors and limited justice for all possibilities. we are still at our core a democracy. and yet, history tells us the blind loyalty to a single later and a willingness to engage in political violence is fatal in democracy. for a long time, we told ourselves that american democracy is guaranteed,

but it's not. we have to defend it, protect it, stand up for it each and every one of us. that's why to night, i'm asking our nation to come together, unite behind the single purpose of defending our democracy, regardless of your ideology. rule cool, my duty in conscious to confront extremists will put their own pursuit of power. above all else, democrats, independents, mainstream republicans. we must be stronger, more determined, more committed to saving american democracy. and maggie republicans, artist, to destroy american democracy. we the people on our let any one or anything terrorist apart today, there are dangers around us. we cannot allow to prevail. we hear you've heard it

more and more talk about violence as an acceptable political tool in this country. it's not, it can never be an acceptable tool. so i want to say this plain and simple thurs. no place were political violence in america period. none ever you saw alone force brutally attacked on january the 6th. we've seen election officials, paul workers, many of them volunteers both parties, subject to intimidation and death threat and can you believe it f b i. 5 agents just doing their job as directed, facing threats to their own lives, from their own fellow citizens. on top of that, or

a public figures to day yesterday the day before predicted, and all the calling for mass violence and riding the streets. this is inflammatory, is dangerous. it's against the rule of law. and we, the people must say, this is not who we are lazy gentlemen. we can't be proactive. pro exit pro insurrection is, and pro american are incompatible. we can allow violence to be normalized in this country. it's wrong. we chat to reject political violence was with all the moral clarity conviction, this nation can muster. now, we can't let the integrity of our elections be undermined for that is a pat the chaos. look, i know polished falls, this can be fierce and mean and nasty in america. i get it. i believe in the given

take a politics and disagreement and debate and dissent were a big, complicated country. but democracy endures all we, if we the people reach spect, the guard rails of the republic only if we the people accept the results of free and fair elections. only if we, the people see politics not as total war, but mediation of our differences. democracy cannot survive when one side believes are only 2 outcomes to an election. either they win or they were cheated. and that's where the mag, or republicans are to day. they don't understand what every, a patriotic american knows. you can't love your country, only when you,

when it's fundamental merigan no markers. the only works only if we choose to respect the rule of law and the institutions that were set up in this chamber behind me. only if we respect our legitimate political differences. i will not stand by and watch i will not the will the american people be overturned by wild conspiracy theories and baseless evidence reclaims of fraud? i will not stand by and watch elections in this country stolen. my people who simply refused to accept that they lost i will not stand by and watch the most fundamental freeman as country the freedom to bow and have your vote counted and be taken from you and the american people

as your friends and i will defend our democracy with every fiber of my bane and i'm asking every american to join me run our history. america is often made the greatest progress coming out of some of our darkest moments like you're hearing that born. i believe we can and must do that again. and we are, maggie republic is looked at american, see carnage and darkness and despair. they spread fair and lies, lies tall for profit and power. when i see a different america and america long limited future and americans it's about to take off. i hope you see it as well. just look around. i believe we could lift america from the depths of covered. so we passed the largest economic

gregory packages, franklin delano roosevelt, and today america's economy is faster, stronger than any other advanced nation. and the world we have more to go i believe we could build a better american. so we passed the biggest infrastructure investment as president, dwight d eisenhower. and we now embarked on a decade at rebuilding the nation's road bridges, highways pours water system, high speed internet railroad. i believe we can make america safer. so we passed mo, significant gun safety loss as president glenn. i believe we could go from being her highest cause to prescription to the world making prescription drugs and healthcare more affordable. so we passed the most significant health care reforms as president obama signed the affordable care act.

and i believe a great we could create a clean energy future and save the planet. so we passed the most important climate initiative. ever. ever, ever. the cynics and the critic tell us nothing can get done but the wrong. there is not a single thing. america cannot do not a single thing beyond our capacity. if we do it together, it's never easy. or we're approving an american no matter how long the road progress does come move. i know the last year a few years had been tough. but to day covered, no longer controls our lives. more americans are working than ever. businesses are growing, our schools are open. millions of americans have been lifted out of poverty.

millions of veterans wants exposure, toxic burn fits will now get what they deserve for their families. and the compared compensation american manufacturers come alive across. 5 darlin, in the future will be made in america no matter what the white supremacist and extreme is, say, i made a bet on you, the american people and that bed is pain off, probing it from darkness. the darkness of charlottesville of cove would have gotten violence in his direction. we can see the light. light is now visible light that will guide us forward. not only in words, but an actual action for you, for your children, for your grandchildren, for america. even at this moment with all the challenge we face, i gave you my word as abide. now i've never been more optimistic about america's

future. not because it may be because of who you are. we're going to end cancer, as we know at mark my words, are you create millions of new jobs in a clean energy economy? we're going to think big. we're going to make the 21st century another american century. because the oral needs us to that's where we need to focus our energy mom the past. lot on to visit culture wars. well, a politics of grievance. but on a future we can build together. the mag republic is believe the for them to succeed . every one else has to fail. they believe america. not like i believe about america. i believe america is big enough for all of us to succeed. and that is the nation. we're building a nation where no one is left behind. i ran for president because i believe were in a battle for the soul of this nation. i still believe that to be true. i believe

a soul is the breath, the life. and the essence of who we are. the soul is what makes us us. the song american is defined by the sacred proposition that all are created equal in the image of god. that all are entitled to be treated with decency, dignity, respect, that all deserve justice and a shot at lives of prosperity and consequence. and that democracy, democracy must be defended for democracy, makes all these things possible. so that does democracy begins and will be preserved in we the people's habits of the heart. and our character. optimism that is tested yet endures. courage that digs deep. when we needed apathy,

the fuels democracy, the willingness to see each other, not as enemies, but as fellow americans. look, our democracy is imperfect. it always has been notwithstanding those folks you hear and the other side they're, they're entitled to be outrageous. this is a democracy. but history and comics n ah good news is nothing a member supper room. but history and common sense tells us of opportunity, liberty and justice raul are most likely to come to pass in a democracy. we have never fully realized the aspirations are founded. but every generation is open, those doors a little bit wider, to close, more people than excluded before. my fellow americans,

america is an idea. the most powerful idea in the history of the world and a beach in the hearts of the people of this country. it beats in all our hearts and unites america. it is the american creed, the idea that america guarantees it every one be treated with dignity. it gives hate no safe harbor in installs in everyone the belief that no matter where you start in life, there's nothing you can achieve. that's who we are. that's where we stand for. that's what we believe. that's precisely what we're doing. opening doors, creating possibilities. focusing on the future and we're only just beginning martinez is to make our nation free and fair just and strong,

noble and whole. and this work is the work of democracy. the work of this generation is the work of our time for all time. we can't afford to have leave anyone in the sideline. we need everyone to do their part. so speak up, speak out, get engage, vote, vote vote. if we do our duty. if we do our duty in 2022 beyond san age is still a calm. we'll say, way all of us here. we kept the faith, we preserve democracy. we hated our word, we. we hated not our worst as things, but our better angels. re reprove that for all its imperfections. merrick is still the beacon to the world, an ideal to be realised, a promise to be kept. there is nothing more important. nothing more sacred. nothing

more america. that's our soul. that's who we truly are. and that's who must, we must always be. i have no doubt, none that this is who we will be and that will come together as a nation that will secure our democracy. that for the next 200 years will have what we had the past 200 years, the greatest nation on the face of the earth. we just need to remember who we are. we are the united states of america, the united states of america. may god protect our nation and may god protect all those who stand, watch over our democracy. god bless you all the mark for see. thank you. right, that was you as president joe biden, addressing americans from philadelphia, the birthplace of american democracy. this was a rare prime time speech,

an address in which the president asked americans to push back against extreme as a he asked americans to defend democracy. one of the things that he said during that speech was equality and democracy are under assault. he also went on to say for a long time, we told ourselves at american democracy is guaranteed, but it is not we have to defend it, protected stand up for it each and every one of us. many people had wondered if president biden was actually going to directly name former president donald trump as a threat to democracy in the us. and he did just that during the speech president biden said, donald trump and the maga republicans represent extremism that threatens the very foundations of our republic. of course when the president makes reference to maga, he's referring to the make america great again slogan of former president donald trump. all right, our white house correspondent,

kimberly how kit has been listening to you as president joe biden. let's bring her in. kimberly, how surprising was it that joe biden mentioned donald trump by name in this speech, and what were some of the other highlights that you heard? it's not surprising that the president mentioned donald trump by name, given the fact that it appears to be a calculation on the part of the white house for some time. now we've seen the white house increasingly aggressive in terms of the language that the president has been using in his speeches towards the republican party and particularly the president. it is a strategy that was tested in the spring. and increasingly, what we seen woven into the speeches is this all per mag, a reference, as you say, the make america great again, reference in to sort of categorize the republican party at least a faction of it as being extremist in nature. as the reason that the president in

his party are doing this is because this has been somewhat successful in of really pointing out a vulnerability of the republican party referencing the january 6th attack on the u . s. capital. something that many americans were horrified to see. it, it's an image that conjures up a very painful memory for many americans when they felt that democracy was in fact under attack. and so this is something that, the republicans, i feel as a vulnerability and democrats are seizing on that in advance of the congressional elections. which are now about 8 weeks away. and so this is a deliberate strategy on the part of the democratic party and the white house. now in terms of how this is being weaponized, you've heard it in the president's speech. he says that these maga forces are trying to take the country backwards, the president referencing the recent roe v wade overturning by the supreme court of .
