My mother believed and my father believed that if I wanted to be President of the United States, I could be, I could be vice president.

Former Vice President Joe Biden has been elected President of the United States.

It is my greatest honor and privilege to have been your president.

We will be back in some form.

We are still deeply divided. Public health experts warned this was coming, unless more was done, and here we are now.

Are you proud of what happened here today?

Absolutely.

Never before in American history, has there been an uprising like this?

Of the 75 million Americans who voted for Donald Trump, I don't know how many today are feeling,

dear God, what was I thinking? But I would wager a lot more our thinking, let's carry on this

fight. Character matters. It matters. Tell them the truth matters. The 21st century is going to be

the American century, because we lead not only by the example of our power but by the power

of our example. That is the history of the journey of America. It's funny, isn't it? When you give

someone the job as Secretary of Defense and before they take that job, they assure you, I'm not going to drink

while I'm doing this job. That's an alarm bell as to who you're given that job to. Was it a surprise

when amateur hour arrived, and Washington is aghast to hear that war plans are shared in a group chat.

It's sent the political world in America spinning and certainly it's reminded everybody of one of the quotes that's in our montage about the consternation around Hillary and her own

private server. This is far worse than that. Oh my God. This is, this is in a league of its own.

This is, do you remember Armando Nucci, who I just love, who did Veep and the death of Stalin and in the

loop and all these, like,

the high farce of when power is abused, like the high farce of these abuses of power.

And this is, he couldn't, even he couldn't have dreamed this one.
