00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:00,890
John

2
00:00:01,119 --> 00:00:03,619
Josh, what is the president's message to

3
00:00:03,639 --> 00:00:05,022
thousands and thousands of people across

4
00:00:05,062 --> 00:00:07,312
the country protesting this election

5
00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:08,823
some of them carrying signs saying

6
00:00:08,823 --> 00:00:09,923
"not my president"?

7
00:00:11,259 --> 00:00:13,374
Well, John, I think the first thing

8
00:00:13,384 --> 00:00:14,984
the president would say, uh,

9
00:00:15,033 --> 00:00:16,764
is that we've got a carefully,

10
00:00:16,846 --> 00:00:19,776
constitutionally protected right to

11
00:00:19,784 --> 00:00:21,144
free speech.

12
00:00:21,165 --> 00:00:22,935
And the president believes that that

13
00:00:22,935 --> 00:00:24,788
is a right that should be protected.

14
00:00:24,848 --> 00:00:28,848
It is a right that should be exercised

15
00:00:29,980 --> 00:00:32,300
without violence.

16
00:00:32,534 --> 00:00:34,354
And there are people who are

17
00:00:34,354 --> 00:00:35,754
disappointed in the outcome,

18
00:00:35,784 --> 00:00:36,804
and the president's message in

19
00:00:36,824 --> 00:00:37,794
the Rose Garden was:

20
00:00:37,851 --> 00:00:39,481
'it's not surprising that people are

21
00:00:39,486 --> 00:00:40,736
disappointed in the outcome,

22
00:00:40,779 --> 00:00:42,529
but it's important for us to remember,

23
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:44,950
a day or two after the election, that...

24
00:00:47,257 --> 00:00:49,797
We're Democrats and Republicans,

25
00:00:49,842 --> 00:00:52,322
but we're Americans and patriots first.'

26
00:00:52,322 --> 00:00:53,842
And that's the message that the president

27
00:00:53,842 --> 00:00:55,372
hopes that most people will hear.

28
00:00:55,372 --> 00:00:56,462
But are there some people who are going

29
00:00:56,522 --> 00:00:57,732
to be disappointed?

30
00:00:57,906 --> 00:01:00,036
And are they going to express those views

31
00:01:00,079 --> 00:01:00,859
in public?

32
00:01:01,565 --> 00:01:03,375
I think we've seen that that's the case.

33
00:01:03,421 --> 00:01:04,671
Their constitutionally--

34
00:01:04,746 --> 00:01:06,726
They have constitutional rights to do that

35
00:01:06,753 --> 00:01:08,273
and those rights should be protected,

36
00:01:08,273 --> 00:01:09,565
but the president would obviously want

37
00:01:09,675 --> 00:01:11,845
them to hear his message as well
