Title: President Biden Delivers Remarks Near Valley Forge, Pennsylvania | Three years ago for the first time in our history, a violent mob attacked the Capitol and tried to stop the peaceful transfer of power. We must make sure... | By Joe Biden | [APPLAUSE] >>>: Good afternoon, my name is Justin Douglass newly be elected County Commissioner to dolphin county Pennsylvania. I took my oath of office just a few days ago I observed the peaceful transfer of power in an election came by the narrowist of margins 184 votes. [APPLAUSE]. Today I am reminded of how I spend the events of January 6, 3 years ago. It was a day that fundamentally chained my perspective on our country as an American, as a husband, as a father, as a pastor. On January 10th I my church community the violence is that today does not the represent the fellowly ship and faith that we seek to embody, for the first time my wife and I I discussed what we would do if our country became destabilized how would we be protect our 3 children? I have been engaged politically as an activity have Is for communities that are over looked and urn serve bed this moment this insurrection, provided the need for deeper engagement. And earlier this year, when run for something an organization that recruits and supports young canned dates reached out and ask if I would consider running for office, a big part of my decision, was the reality that County Commissioners have a role in overseeing Latin Americans s free and fair and accessible elections are the bedrock of our democracy. [APPLAUSE]. Donald Trump represents a clear and present danger to that democracy. His lies about the election and encouraging his sporers to stoch the peaceful transfer of power make him unfit to be President. I’m proud to be here today. Supporting a President who has strong and unequivalent call in his defending American democracy. [APPLAUSE]. A President who is leadership is exactly what we need in moment, it is United States, Joe Biden, and the First Lady of the United States, Dr. Jill bide in Biden . [APPLAUSE]. Thank you, thank you, thank you. 36. [APPLAUSE]. Thank you. Thank you. All right. [APPLAUSE] >>>: Thank you. Well thank you. (cheering). >>>: Four more years). >>>: Thank you. Please. Thank you. Please thank you very much. Today, topic of my speech today is is to be serious, I think it needs to be serious, I think it needs to be made of the outset of this campaign. The winner of 1777, and was harsh and cold as a continental Army marched to Valley Forge, general jaw knew he face the most daunting of task to fight and win a war the world at the time. His mission was clear, liberty, not conquest, freedom, not domination. And national independence, not individual glory. And America made a vow never again would we bow down to a king. Months ahead would be incredibly difficult. But General Washington knew something in his bones. Something about the spirit of the troops he was leading. Something, something about the soul of the nation, he was struggling to be born. In his general orders he priblghted and I quote, with one heart, and one mind, the fortitude with patience they would overcome every difficulty the troops he was leading they did. This arm that laid blank expets clothe and say shoes, dis and the bloody foolt prints in the snow this rag tied Army made of ordinary people, their mission George Washington, was nothing nothing less than a sacred cause. That was the phase he used, freedom. Liberty and democracy. American democracy. I just visit the ground of Valley Forge of the I have been there since I was a provide scout years ago, it’s the very site that I think every American should visit, it tells a story of the pain and the suffering and the true patriot schism it took to make America. Today, we years later, just one day before January 6. A day forever shared our memory it was on that day, that we nearly lost America. Lost it all. Today, we’re here to answer the most important of questions is democracy still Americas sacred cause? >>>: Yes. >>>: [APPLAUSE] >>>: I mean it. This is not rhetorical academic or hypothetical. But academic or hypothetical. But the draxz still Americas sacred cause is the most urgent question of our time. That’s what the four Latin Americans is 2024, and Donald Trump campaign is about him, not America, not you and Donald Trump campaign is obsess with the past not the future, he’s willing to sacrifice our democracy. Put himself in power, and our campaign is different, for me and cam ma it’s about you and every age and background. That occupy this country. It’s about the future. We’re going to continue to build together, our campaign is about preserving and strength anyone our American democracy. 3 years ago tomorrow, we saw with our own eyes, the violent mob storm the the United States capitol capitol, it was in disbelieve for the first time in our history insurrection come to stop the peaceful of power in America, first time. Smashing windows and shattering doors and attacking the police. Outside Gam low were he rebilitied as crowd chanted hang Mike Pence , inside they hung the house was chanlting, they marched through and smashed windows where is Nancy over 140 police officers were injured. Some of I attend were injured. Some of I attend the funeral police officers that died as a result of the day. Because Donald Trump lies, they died because the lies brought a mob to Washington, Eprom missed it would be wild and it was he told the crowd to fight like hell and all hell was unleashed them, everything they did, he would be side by side with them. And as years roll he left the retreated to the whoit house, white house, as America was attacked Donald Trump watched in the off the oval office, the entire nation watched in horror the and whole world watched in disbelief, and Trump did nothing. Members of the staff, members of his family, Republican leaders who were under attack at that very moment plead with him, act call off the mob, imagine how he gone out and said stop? Still, Trump did nothing. Was among the worst dereliction of duty, by a President, in American history. An attempt to overturn the free and fair election by force and violence a record 81 million people votedded for my candidacy is to end this presidency, Trump loss the popular vote by 7 million, Trumps chance about 2020 election never could stand up in court, Trump lost 60 court cases 60. Trump lost the Republican control states, and Trump lost before a Trump appointed judge, then judges. Trump lost before the United States Supreme Court. [APPLAUSE]. All of it he lost. Trump lost recount after recount and stayed after state, but in desperation and weakness Trump and his Magna followers went after election officials who ensured your powers of citizen would be heard. These public service were offend by attacks delt thretle for doing their jobs. Atlanta Georgia a brave black mother and her daughter, Ruby Freeman and Shay moss were doing their jobs lebting workers. Until Donald Trump and his maga followers threatened them forces them from their homes and unleashing racist victory, and Rudy jewel Ani, was hit with a 148 million judgment for cruelty and defamation, that he in conflicted against them, other and other state local faced similar personal attacks. And in addition Fox News agreed to pay record $787 million, for the lice they told about voter fraud. Let’s be clear, about the 202020 election, Trump exhausted every legal avenue available to him, everyone, with the legal path, just took Trump back to the truth. That I won the election and he was a loser. [APPLAUSE]. Well, knowing how his mind works now, he had one act left. One desperate act available to him. The violence of January 6th. Since that day more than 12000 people have been charged for the assault on the capitol, and nearly 900 of them have been convicted and they have been sentenced to more than 840 years in prison. Applause plaza [APPLAUSE] applause. What’s Trump done? Instead of calling them criminals, he’s calls the insurrection pay trolts, they are patriots, Eprom miss the to pardon them, if he returns to office, Trump said there was a lot of love on January 6th. The rest of the nation, including law enforcement saw a lot of hate, and violence. One police officer called it a medieval battle that same officer, was called names. He said he was more afraid in the capitol of the United States of America, in the chambers than when he was fighting a soldier in the war in Iraq, more afraid. Inside the halls of Congress. Than fighting in the war in Iraq. Trying to rewrite the facts of January 6, Trump is trying to steal history. The same way he tried to steal the election. But he we knew the truth, because we saw it with our own eyes, it was not just a story, it was on television repeatedly, we saw it with our own eyes. Trumps mob wasn’t a peaceful protest. It was a violent assault. They were insurrectionist not patriots, they weren’t there to uphold the Constitution, they were there to destroy the Constitution. Trump won’t do an American President must do, he refuses to announce political violence, so hear me clearly, I will say what Donald Trump won’t, political violence is never acceptable in the United States, never never never. It has no place in the democracy. None. [APPLAUSE]. It can’t be probe insurrectionist and fellow American, yet Trump not only embraced political violence they laugh about it, at his rally he talked about intruder taking a hammer to Paul Pelosi skull and echoing the same words on January 6, where is Nancy, he thinks that funny, he laughed about it. What a sick -- [APPLAUSE]. My God , I think highs despicable, not for any person to say that, but to say it to the whole world listening, when I was overseas -- anyway. Trumps assault on democracy isn’t part of his past, it’s what he’s promising with the future, he’s being straightforward, he’s not highing the ball, his first rally for the 2024 campaign, and singing from prison, on cell phones, while images January 6 riot blade on a big screen behind him at his rally, can you believe that, this is like something out of a fairytale, bad fairytale, Trump ban his treasurer campaign by glorifying the and insurrection on our capitol, the guy claimed law and order. So is lawlessness and disorder. Trumps not concerned about your future I promise you, Trump is now promising a full scale campaign of revenge and retribution for some years to come, those were his words, not mine he went on to say, he would be dictator, on day one, if I an American President said that, not ingest. He called that, the term, this is a quote the termination of all the rules and regulation and articles even though he’s found in the U.S. terminated with his will, it’s kind of hard to believe. Even found in the Constitution? He Terminate, and the you had the he threaten the joint chiefs of staff, said he should be put to death because the chairman put his oath to the Constitution. Ahead of his personal loyalty to Trump. This is coming from a President. Who called when he visited cemeteries called dead soldiers suckers. And losers. Remember that? Sometimes I’m really happy to be hired with the cafer, it was right around the time I was in school. How dare he? Who he in God’s name does he think he is? With former aids Trump plans to invoke the insurrection act? Which will allow him 20, law him to deploy U.S. military forces on the streets of America. He said that. He calls those who oppose him very men. He talks about the blood of America is being poisoned, echoing the same exact language used in Nazi Germany. He proudly post on social media the words as 2024 campaign, revenge, and qoalt, quote, dictator ship. There is no confusion who Trump is. What he intends to do. I placed my Han on our family Bible. I swore on oath, on the very same steps of the capitol, just 14 days after the attack on January 6, as I looked over the capitol city the streets were line with National Guard to prevent another attack. I saw an American, that has been pushed to the brink. But I felt norms pride, not on winning but normals pride in America, because American democracy had been tested. American democracy had held together. When Trump had seen weakness in our democracy and continues to talk about it, I saw strength, your strength. Not HYPERBOLE, and your integrity, and Americas strength and integrity, and ordinary citizens is state election firnls the American judicial system. Had put the Constitution first. Sometimes add their peril, because of them , because of you, the will of the people prevail. Not the anger mob or the appetites of one man, but an attack on January 6 happened there was no doubt about the truth. At the time, even Republican Members of Congress, Fox News commenttators publicly and privately condemned the attack, as one Republican Senator said, Trumps behavior was embarrassing and humiliating for the country, but you now that same senator, and those same people have changed their tune. As time gone on, politics fear and money, all of intervened and now those maga voices who know the truth about Trump on January 6, have abandoned the truth and have abandoned the democracy. They made their choice. Now the rest of us, Democrats and make our choice. I know mine and I believe I know Americas. We’ll defend the truth not give into the big lie, we’ll embrace the Constitution, not abandon it. We’ll honor the sacred cause of democracy, not walk away from it. Today, I may being the sacred pledge to you, the defense protection and of preservation for American democracy will remain as it has democracy will remain as it has been the central cause of my presidency. [APPLAUSE]. America as we begin the election year, we must be clear, democracy is on the ballot, your freedom is on the ballot. Yes we’ll be voting on many issues on the freedom to vote and have your vote counseled and the freedom on a of choice, the freedom of aa fair shot, the freedom from fear. We’ll debate and disagree. Without democracy no progress is impossible, think about it. They’ll will r the rule of one, not the the rule of we the people, that’s what the soldier of Valley Forge understood. So what’s me, we have to understand this as well. We have a blessed so long, with a strong stable democracy. It’s easy to forget. Why so many before us, REINFORCED their lives and strengthened democracy. What our lives would be without it, democracy means having the freedom to speak your mind, to be who you are. To be who you want to be. Democracy is about being able to bring about peaceful change. Democracy democracy is how we open the doors of opportunity, wider and wider with eachive generation, notwithstanding with mistakes, but a democracy falls, we’ll lose that freedom. We’ll lose the power 6 we the people to shape our destiny, if you doubt me, look around the world travel with me as I meet with other medicine of state throughout the world, look at the authoritarian leaders Trump said he admires and to goes through them takes too long, remember how he refers to what he calls love letterrics changes between him and the dictator of North Korea. Those women and women, fought for an American military. To ever belief you would hear a President say something like that? Admiration for Putin tin . I would go on,. Look at what these ought craghts are doing to limit craghts are doing to limit freedom in their countries, they are freedom of press and womens rights and LGBTQIA+ people are going to jail, and so much more, it’s true the push and pull of American history is not a fairytale, every stride forward in America met with backlash men times, of those who fear progress and those that exploit that fear for their own personal gain. From those who traffic and lies are told for power and profit, for those who are delivery by consumed by conspiracy and victim hood. From those, who seek to bury history, and ban books. Ever think you would be at a political event talk about book banning for presidential election? The choice contest between those forces and those competing forces between solidarity and division is important, this time it’s so different. You can’t have a contest, you can’t have a contest, if you are you see politics a an all out war instead of a peaceful way of to resolve our differents, Trump wants this, that’s why he doesn’t understand the fundamental truth about this country, unlike other nations on earth, America is not built on ethnicity, religion and geography, and we’re on the only nation of the history of the world built on an idea. Not, to be self evident, of all men and women are created equal. It’s an idea, declared in the declaration, created in the way that you viewed everybody equal and should be treated equal throughout their lives, we have never fully lived up to that, we never walked away from the idea. We’ve never walked away from it. I promise you I will not let Donald Trump and the maga away. [APPLAUSE]. We’re living in an era where a determined minority is doing everything I in is power for their their own agenda, American people know it and they are standedly bravely, remember an 2020, January 6 insurrection to undo the election, more time, America ever America saw the threat to the country, they remote voted him out and 2022 state after state election and the election deniers were defeated and now in 2024, Trumps and rubbing atsd denier in chief, the election denier in chief, once again he was saying he won’t honor the result of the election if he loses. Trurch says he doesn’t z z Trump said, you can’t only love your country only when you only when you win. [APPLAUSE]. I will keep my commitment to the President for all of America. Whether you are voted for me or not, I have done it for the last 3 years and I will continue to do it, together we can keep saying America is still a country that believes in Decembercy and honesty, honors and truth, and we still believe that no one, not even the President is above the law, we law, z we still believe that the vast majority believes that everybody has a shot, we are still a nation that gives hate no safe harbor, I tell you from my experience working with leaders from around the world and I mean this, sincerely are not a joke America is still viewed as the beacon for democracy, I can’t tell you how many world leaders and I know all of them. Virtually all of them, grab my arm and say, you can’t win, no, my country will be at risk. Think of how many countries and you know that are on the edge. Imagine we still believe in we the people. That includes all of us, not some of us. Let me close with this, and cold winter of 1777, George Washington and his American troops at Valley Forge waged a battle on the revolutionary idea. Every day people like where I come from the vast majority of you, not a king or dictator, but every day people can govern themselves without a king. Or dictator. In fact, in the rotunda of the capitol, there is a giant painting of George Washington, and he’s pre-signing his commission as commander in chief of the continental Army. A European came in at the time said after I won the revolution, now is the time for him to declare his king ship, but capitol, waving Trump flags with confederate flags stormed right past that portrait, the meerns of George Washington gave him no pause and the artist that painted that Memorialized that moment, he said it was one of the highest moral lessons ever given to the world. And end of quote. George Washington was the height of his power, having just defeat most on are earth, could have held on as long as he wanted and he could have made himself not a future President, but a future monarch. By the way, when he monarch. By the way, when he got elected President he could have stayed for 2, 3, 4, five terms until he died. But that wasn’t the American American troops of Valley Forge fought for. And America, general leaders Democratic leaders don’t hold on to power relentlessly, our leaders return power to the people, and they do it willing whether I because that is the deal. You do your duty, you serve your country, and ours is a country where it is worthy of service as many Republican Presidents and Democratic Presidents have shown over the years. We’re not perfect. But at our best, we face the good, the bad is and the truth of who we are. We look in the mirror , and never pretend we’re something we’re not, that’s what great nation do, we are the greatest nation do, we are the greatest nation on the face of the earth, we really are. [APPLAUSE]. That’s the America I see in our future. We get up we carry on, we never bow, we never bend. We speak of possibilities, not carnage, we are not weighed down by grievances and we don’t foster fear. We don’t walk arched as victims, we take varg of our DSCC any. We get our job done with a help of the people, we find in America. Who find their place in the changing world. And dreaming and build a future. Not original they, all people dislerve a shot at. We don’t none, none of you believe that America is failing. We know America is winning. That’s America patriotism. [APPLAUSE]. It’s not winning because of Joe Biden, it’s winning. It’s the first national election since January 6, insurrection placed a dagger at the throat of American democracy, since that moment. We all know who Donald Trump is, the question we have to answer, who are we? That’s what agents what’s at stake, ago you cast your ballots the power is in our hands. After all we have been through in our history from two world wars to insurrection, and pandemic I refuse to believe, that in 2024 we Americans whether choose to walk Wii from what’s made us the greatest history in the world, freedom liberty, and democracy is still a sacred cause. There is no country in the world better positioned to lead the world than America. That’s why. many times that’s why I have never been more optimistic about our faculty and I have been doing this for a hell of a long time, remember who we are. With patience and fortitude, with one heart, we are the United States of America for God sake. I mean it. There is nothing, I believe there is nothing beyond our capacity if we act together and nothing, nothing, nothing. I mean it, we have come out of a it, we have come out of a crisis, stronger than when we were in the crisis. That was true yesterday. As it is today. I guarantee you, it will be true tomorrow. God bless you you will and may God troact our God protect our troops. [APPLAUSE]. I understand power. Thank you all so very much I and really mean it. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Thank you. [APPLAUSE]. Strength. [MUSIC].
