you know this is a moment for
america for everyone that has been
working
really hard over the last four years or
have been waiting for leadership
have been waiting for empathy and
experience
to come to the administration to come
back into leadership in this country
as we all watch there's an energy
there's an excitement
there's a moving forward again for so
many folks
who have been waiting for today who have
been waiting to
send off trump and to start anew in
america
i'll come on to whether they can turn
the page but ron
we were talking earlier and katy was
making the point about uh
looking at to that election campaign and
the amount of people that voted
for donald trump in the end the
democrats picked right didn't they
in terms of joe biden he was perhaps the
only person to bring together
a coalition big enough to beat the
sitting president
good day once again matthew yes i think
that's right and we reflect and realize
that donald trump received nearly 74
million
votes which is an historic level here in
the united states
but yet and still joe biden was still
able to beat him by more than 6 million
votes
why because i think americans wanted to
turn the page they gave
the upstart the opportunity to come in
the non-politician
and at the end of it i think many
americans said you know what we want to
return to civility we want to return to
normalcy
hence we see the swearing-in of the 46th
president united states
in the form of joe biden and we're
seeing pictures
of joe biden and jill and the vice
president
and her husband as they edge towards
those
capital steps we're about a minute or so
away from the end of the program so a
final thought
from both of you amanda first about
how easy or difficult it is to be to
turn the page the president-elect
absolutely clear
the task is to bring america together
again
is that a possibility in the near future
or is it a generational thing
it's gonna it's gonna be a journey one
step at a time and i think what you saw
today
was a realistic view of it starts with
everyone coming together in church
this morning as a very first step
something we haven't seen in a long time
that kind of bipartisan
coming together but i think everyone's
well aware that this is a journey that
we're going to have to take together and
it's one step at a time
and today it begins ron christie your
final word
i think with the divided government in
the united states uh senate being as
divided as it is the house being
as divided as it is it's going to be up
to joe biden
to see whether he can bring the
political leadership together
to give the american people the
leadership that they have been so
craving for
for so many years but at least today is
a brand new start
well thanks to both of you we're edging
to the end of
the program here before we join a bbc
news
special and they're absolutely the scent
of your picture the new team the new
president
and the new vice president and uh as
they climb the steps we are edging
our way to the inauguration of a new
american
president the 46th president after such
turmoil
over the last few weeks and months
a beautiful washington morning as we
head
towards inauguration
