-Let me begin tonight's rally
by addressing the suspicious devices and packages
that were mailed to current
and former high-ranking government officials.
My highest duty as you know as president
is to keep America safe.
That's what we talk about.
That's what we do.
The federal government is conducting
an aggressive investigation,
and we will find those responsible,
and we will bring them to justice hopefully very quickly.
Any acts or threats of political violence
are an attack on our democracy itself.
No nation can succeed that tolerates violence
or the threat of violence
as a method of political intimidation,
coercion, or control.
We all know that.
Such conduct must be fiercely opposed and firmly prosecuted.
We want all sides to come together in peace and harmony.
We can do it. We can do it.
We can do it.
It'll happen.
More broadly, there is much we can do
to bring our nation together.
For example, those engaged in the political arena
must stop treating political opponents
as being morally defective.
Have to do that.
The language of moral condemnation
and destructive routine --
these are arguments and disagreements that have to stop.
No one should carelessly compare political opponents
to historical villains, which is done often.
It's done all the time.
Got to stop.
We should not mob people in public spaces
or destroy public property.
There is one way to settle our disagreements.
It's called peacefully at the ballot box.
That's what we want.
As part of a larger national effort
to bridge our divides and bring people together,
the media also has a responsibility
to set a civil tone
and to stop the endless hostility and constant negative
and oftentimes false attacks and stories.
Have to do it.
They've got to stop.
Bring people together.
We're just 13 days away from a very, very important election.
It's an election of monumental --
just, if you look at it -- monumental importance, isn't it?
Wouldn't you say?
Monumental importance.
There are dramatic differences
between our two political parties that we know.
It is essential for democracy to draw a sharp contrast
between the two different platforms
put before the American people,
and we have a chance to do that right now
in many states and on November 6th.
We need more, not less,
debate about policy issues in our country.
But what we cannot do is let our disagreements
about matters of policy tear us apart as a country.
Can't do that.
We must accept the verdicts of elections
and remember that America's greatest achievements
have been always been those endeavors
we embarked on together.
We have had great, great achievements.
So true.
So, let's put it all together, right?
Let's put it all together.
Let's get along.
Great country. We're gonna get along.
