00:00As I said last night, my number one priority in the coming two months is to try to facilitate
00:08a transition that ensures our president-elect is successful.
00:12Well, I just had the opportunity to have an excellent conversation with President-elect
00:25Trump.
00:26It was wide-ranging.
00:27We talked about some of the organizational issues in setting up a White House.
00:35We talked about foreign policy.
00:37We talked about domestic policy.
00:43We discussed a lot of different situations, some wonderful and some difficulties.
00:51I very much look forward to dealing with the president in the future, including counsel.
00:58He's explained some of the difficulties, some of the high-flying assets, and some of the
01:06really great things that have been achieved.
01:09So Mr. President, it was a great honor being with you, and I look forward to being with
01:13you many, many more times in the future.
01:43Our country is now moving forward, and in the final weeks of this administration, we
02:00are committed to maintaining a steady course.
02:04That means providing a smooth transition to the next president, whether it is Vice President
02:08Gore or Governor Bush.
02:09How did the meeting go?
02:10It went very, very well.
02:11I hope they enjoy this home as much as Jill and I have.
02:12But I'm confident on day one, everything will be in good hands, and they'll be able to handle
02:13anything that comes before them.
03:08There will be a smooth transition to a second Trump administration.
03:18All right, we're ready.
03:21The world is watching what's taking place here.
03:22We're going to count all the votes.
03:24When the process is complete, there'll be electors selected.
03:27There's a process.
03:28The Constitution lays it out pretty clearly.
