we are now joined by our dear friend and colleague rachel maddow by phone. rachel, he said this. quote. i need to unite my party. the best way forward is to pass the torch to a new generation. you know in recent weeks it has become clear to me that i need to unite my party in this critical endeavor. i believe my record as president, my leadership in the world, my vision for america's future all merit a second term. but nothing, nothing can come in the way of saving our democracy. that includes personal ambition. so i have decided the best way forward is to pass the torch to a new generation. that is the best way to unite our nation. your thoughts? >> first of all, i'm sorry that i'm not there with all of you in person. i'm hope sick. and trying hard not to get everybody else sick. but wow. i mean, i think it should be said. like, this is one of those speeches that will go down in history. that nothing should stand in the way of saving our democracy including personal ambition. but also, you know, the way he started talking about honesty, decency, respect, does character in public
