## Transcript

[ MUSIC ] Good afternoon everybody, have a seat. Today, I had a chance to speak with John Boehner, and congratulated Mitch McConnell on becoming the next Senate Majority Leader. I told them both that I look forward to. Finishing up this Congress's business and then working together for the next two years to advance America's business. Congress will pass some bills I can not sign. I'm pretty sure I'll take some actions that some in Congress will not like. That's natural. That's how our democracy works [ MUSIC ] But we can surely find ways to work together on issues where there's broad agreement among the American people.

To everyone who voted, I want you to know that I hear you. To the two- thirds of the voters who chose not to participate in the process yesterday, I hear you, too. All of us have. To give more Americans a reason to feel like the ground is stable beneath their feet. That the future is secure. That there's a path for young people to succeed. And, that folks here, in Washington are concerned about them. [ MUSIC ]
