3. 89 0:00 – 0:25

   Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, my friends.
   Thank you so very much. Thank you. (Cheers,

4. 25063 0:25 – 0:33

   applause.) Thank you. Thank you.

5. 33036 0:33 – 0:40

   I have just called President Obama to congratulate
   him on his victory. His supporters and his

6. 40066 0:40 – 0:48

   campaign also deserve congratulations. I wish
   all of them well, but particularly the president,

7. 47719 0:48 – 0:53

   the first lady and their daughters. (Applause.)
   This is a time of great challenges for America,

8. 53059 0:53 – 0:59

   and I pray that the president will be successful
   in guiding our nation.

9. 59006 0:59 – 1:04

   (Cheers, applause.)

10. 64359 1:04 – 1:07

    I want to thank Paul Ryan for all that he
    has done for our campaign — (cheers, applause)

11. 66869 1:07 – 1:22

    — and for our country. Besides my wife,
    Ann, Paul is the best choice I've ever made.

12. 82002 1:22 – 1:30

    (Cheers, applause.) And I trust that his intellect
    and his hard work and his commitment to principle

13. 90289 1:30 – 1:35

    will continue to contribute to the good of
    our nation. (Cheers, applause.)

14. 94999 1:35 – 1:47

    I also want to thank Ann, the love of my life.
    (Cheers, applause.) She would have been a

15. 106579 1:47 – 1:53

    wonderful first lady. (Cheers, applause.)
    She's — she has been that and more to me

16. 113007 1:53 – 2:00

    and to our family and to the many people that
    she has touched with her compassion and her

17. 119509 2:00 – 2:05

    care. I thank my sons for their tireless work
    on behalf of the campaign, and thank their

18. 124679 2:05 – 2:08

    wives and children — (cheers, applause)
    — for taking up their slack as their husbands

19. 128159 2:08 – 2:18

    and dads have spent so many weeks away from
    home. (Cheers, applause.)

20. 137819 2:18 – 2:26

    I want to thank Matt Rhoades and the dedicated
    campaign team he led. (Cheers, applause.)

21. 146006 2:26 – 2:32

    They have made an extraordinary effort, not
    just for me but also for the country that

22. 152062 2:32 – 2:38

    we love. And to you here tonight and to the
    team across the country — the volunteers,

23. 158095 2:38 – 2:44

    the fundraisers, the donors, the surrogates
    — I don't believe that there's ever been

24. 163819 2:44 – 2:49

    an effort in our party that can compare with
    what you have done over these past years.

25. 169023 2:49 – 2:52

    Thank you so very much. (Cheers, applause.)

26. 172037 2:52 – 2:59

    Thanks for all the hours of work, for the
    calls, for the speeches and appearances, for

27. 179219 2:59 – 3:01

    the resources and for the prayers.

28. 181004 3:01 – 3:08

    You gave deeply from yourselves and performed
    magnificently, and you inspired us and you

29. 187579 3:08 – 3:11

    humbled us. You've been the very best we could
    have imagined.

30. 191329 3:11 – 3:15

    The nation, as you know, is at a critical
    point. At a time like this, we can't risk

31. 195098 3:15 – 3:20

    partisan bickering and political posturing.
    Our leaders have to reach across the aisle

32. 200499 3:20 – 3:26

    to do the people's work. And we citizens also
    have to rise to the occasion. We look to our

33. 206189 3:26 – 3:30

    teachers and professors. We count on you not
    just to teach, but to inspire our children

34. 210079 3:30 – 3:33

    with a passion for learning and discovery.

35. 213489 3:33 – 3:39

    We look to our pastors and priests and rabbis
    and counselors of all kinds to testify of

36. 218889 3:39 – 3:45

    the enduring principles upon which our society
    is built — honesty, charity, integrity and

37. 225037 3:45 – 3:51

    family. We look to our parents, for in the
    final analysis, everything depends on the

38. 230639 3:51 – 3:58

    success of our homes. We look to job creators
    of all kinds. We're counting on you to invest,

39. 238006 3:58 – 4:03

    to hire, to step forward. And we look to Democrats
    and Republicans in government at all levels

40. 243095 4:03 – 4:08

    to put the people before the politics.

41. 247569 4:08 – 4:34

    I believe in America. I believe in the people
    of America. (Cheers, applause.)

42. 274053 4:34 – 4:40

    And I ran for office because I'm concerned
    about America. This election is over, but

43. 280389 4:40 – 4:45

    our principles endure. I believe that the
    principles upon which this nation was founded

44. 285008 4:45 – 4:51

    are the only sure guide to a resurgent economy
    and to a new greatness.

45. 291031 4:51 – 4:56

    Like so many of you, Paul and I have left
    everything on the field. We have given our

46. 296229 4:56 – 5:04

    all to this campaign. (Cheers, applause.)

47. 304056 5:04 – 5:10

    I so wish — I so wish that I had been able
    to fulfill your hopes to lead the country

48. 310056 5:10 – 5:15

    in a different direction. But the nation chose
    another leader. And so Ann and I join with

49. 315069 5:15 – 5:20

    you to earnestly pray for him and for this
    great nation.

50. 320000 5:20 – 6:05

    Thank you, and God bless America. (Cheers,
    applause.) You guys are the best. Thank you

51. 365044 6:05

    so much. Thank you. Thanks, guys. (Cheers,
    applause.)
