This election was far, FAR closer than the 2020 election and Al still didn't fuck around like an egocentric baby and claim the election was 'stolen'. He even won the popular vote here, unlike 2020.
He won the popular vote by 500,000, unlike Trump who lost the popular vote by 7 million!
Gore is the REAL patriot Trump pretends to be
Nader f’ing costed him.
Third party candidate just siphon votes though people are foolish to vote for them anyway, especially since they have no chance at winning
@@RB01.10 Stop blaming Ralph Nader for George W. Bush and accept the fact that your favorite Albert Gore lost because he was a mediocre at best candidate. Dude couldn't even win his homestate of TN. Plus, he picked Joseph Lieberman, a right wing moral crusader basically catfishing as a leftist, as his running mate. Lieberman later went on to support the Iraq War, as did Gore btw, and Joe later gave a speech at the 2008 RNC and endorsed Jonathan McCain that same year. There is no such thing as voter siphoning, either. With that, 3rd parties don't get Republicans elected. And anyone 35 or older can seek the presidency regardless of their chances of winning. What you are doing is Scapegoating, in addition to voter shaming.
@@RB01.10 Even your favorite Albert Gore agrees that Ralph Nader is innocent of any wrong doing! Shows what an out of touch neoliberal centrist you are.
When you realize that Al Gore is younger than both Joe Biden and Donald Trump!
I think a large portion of the World's population is younger than the both of them, since they 74 and 79.
@@Angglio yes but its surprising that the candidates from 20 years ago are still today younger than this year's candidate
Even his predecessor Dan Quayle VP from 1988 till 1992... IS YOUNGER. It's time they put a cap on the age of people in government. I'd say 69 is a mighty fine number. As John Mulaney said.. you don't order for the table before you leave the restaurant.
@@Angglio Joe Biden is 77 not 79
@@real_aswin qqQ
Just think about this. 271 to 266, and Gore had the popular vote. Yet Gore had the class and humility to insist that the upholding of the American system of government was more important than any one given election, and sincerely took the position of supporting the new president. I really do think this speech is one of the most important speeches given in modern history. While there was no doubt lingering bitterness among many his supporters in the years following, Gore's speech here tempered that bitterness in a way that no doubt restrained the nation from taking that bitterness to the level of utter insanity. Perhaps second only to the galvanizing effect of 9/11, I suspect that this speech was probably more responsible for unifying the country than historians can calculate.
"Let there be no doubt, while I strongly disagree with the court's decision, I accept it. I accept the finality of this outcome, which will be ratified next Monday in the Electoral College. And tonight, for the sake of our unity as a people and the strength of our democracy, I offer my concession.
I also accept my responsibility, which I will discharge unconditionally, to honor the new president-elect and do everything possible to help him bring Americans together in fulfillment of the great vision that our Declaration of Independence defines and that our Constitution affirms and defends."
Pure class. None of this "not my president" rhetoric. No perpetual sowing of discord. He stood by and defended the American way of government. I will return to this speech periodically throughout my life, to reminisce about how this kind of civility in American politics used to actually be possible, and may one day be again. Gore may not have written this speech, but the fact that Gore delivered it with sincerity and honor makes it his, and makes it real.
Can American politics ever return to this kind of class? Maybe. Just maybe. It's up to us.
Well said
If I could give this comment a love reaction I will 100%, also check out Carter’s speech following losing to Reagan

Trump as totally unhuman and garbage loser unlike Gore who very gracious, elegant and resilient with dignity.

P.S Al Gore challenged the Electoral votes before conceding as did John Kerry & Hillary Clinton
@@goldenphoenix7290 here is the problem though: all the evidence you gave me (which is all untrue but there is no point challenging it seeing as thats how you have been taught) does not prove that Trump won. All those ballots that were “thrown out” could all have been Biden ballots for all we know. This is all based off of an assumption that only Democrats tried to rig the election, and not republicans.
For the record, I am left leaning but I am not necessarily a Biden Supporter and I am certainly not a democrat. You just have to acknowledge that Biden won this election fairly and according to the rules, just like Trump did in 2016, and just how Bush did in 2000.
So this is a real man and patriot
That is true, but today we see a real sore loser trump, who already has lost both popular and electoral votes, but not conceding. This monster would rather start a civil war, than concede
Trump is literally doing everything that Gore did. Gore didn’t concede until December after litigating and a few Supreme Court rulings. Why should Trump not do the same?
@@parkerzimmerman6405 not sure if gore did, but was he out and about saying “I’ve won and if I don’t win it’s fraud” then claims it’s fraud because votes are being counted and he lost.
@@flixytip4571 Gore did declare victory. The media also declared him the victor. Bush declared that he also won. Those things are all the same. The media took Gore’s side just like they are doing with Biden. The only difference is if some of these illegitimate ballots end up adding up enough to turn the election, democrats aren’t going to “call for unity” they aren’t going to be civil. They will riot, pillage and destroy just like they have been through our cities for the last year.
@@flixytip4571 This isn’t an opinion but a fact, your ballot was 30 times more likely to get thrown out during the primaries that used mail in balloting earlier this year, then those for this election. You can’t explain a change in numbers like that without putting those ballots legitimacy into question. If the ballots ARE legitimate then why bar people from observing them? If you aren’t doing anything shady, why be less transparent then more transparent?
CZcams really do be throwing shade at Trump with all these recommendations recently.
They recommend all the concession speeches. Even recommended me the song "Memories" covered by Trump 3 days after the election.😂
CZcams algorithm doesn’t work that way, all this means is that more ppl are looking up former concession speeches.
More like shade at Biden lol
thats not how it works.. lmfao. Throwing shade at biden if anything, goofball
@@micheljohnson-figueredo8627 No, it's trump who refuses to concede?
When a Presidential candidate cared more for his country than his ego.
@anaxandros yeah sure. I don't think any politicians care for the American people, they hadn't been an honest politician since Eisenhower.
It took 37 days and a court battle. Do your homework!
Well considering he did this in December after exhausting all legal avenues Trump has plenty of time to concede assuming he loses....which hasn’t been determined yet.
@@parkerzimmerman6405 MASSIVE, MASSIVE, MASSIVE difference between one state coming down to less than 1,000 votes and the fact that he's losing by 5 digits in several states.
@anaxandros your delusional
One of the best presidents America didn’t have. My salute to Vice President Al Gore.
Always felt the same way !
It's often the administrations that weren't which linger in the imagination for years and years. From Goldwater to McCain, and Humphrey to Kerry, long have I wondered what those almost-Presidents would have brought our nation.
@@uptown3636 I genuinely believe the course of America would have taken a vastly different turn with Gore. I wonder “what if” all the time about him.
@@welldonebrainn, you might be right. I think that Gore and Bush were two of the most similar candidates in a modern presidential election. Their policy differences were slight in the grand scheme of things, but their core values were different. For example, ask them what the top tax rate should be or their positions on prescription drug programs, and their answers might have been somewhat similar, but ask them what moments of 20th century American history inspired hope in them, and the differences would have been stark. Given how terribly consequential the first 5 years of the Millenium turned out to be, I think Gore would likely have been able to avoid mass domestic surveillance and intractable wars in Asia.
Gore was a once-in-a-generation politician. Visionary, intelligent and respectful. Obama was good too, but he didn't have as much experience
Al Gore said, "although I strongly disagree with the Supreme Court's decision, I accept the finality of it's outcome". Total integrity. Trump should take notes.
Hillary Clinton didn't accept the 2020 election either. Stop saying that Trump is a cry baby
I’m in no way left wing but Gore oozes class here

yep, it should be a law to ban trump from using the word “tremendous”
He conceded on 13 December, over a month after the election was concluded when his legal challenges were dried up. But keep saying that Trump should "concede" immediately and look like a hypocrite.
@@umkemesic 👍👍
Pretty funny seeing all of you morons making points against Trump when Trump is on the opposite side of the fence in this situation. He is the one who is fighting against Fraud, while Joe Biden will be giving the concession speech. (If it is proven true).
Drumpf got beaten by popular votes and the Electoral College ,can't undo that
Back when candidates respect democracy and constitution
he conceded 4 and a half weeks after the election, chill.
@@aidanmclaughlin8354 he just asked for a recount on one close state and only 2 electoral votes difference, biden won by like 40 electoral votes, no bs fraud, vote by mail count last and that is why crybaby lost
@@aidanmclaughlin8354 funny how you took that out of context, he conceded 4 weeks after because that was when the final results came in
You mean like the cheater Democrats. Trump is just the only one who has the balls to fight. He isn’t a politician who just turns his head. We all know Biden did not win fair and I’m glad he is not backing down.
@@poopie4738 are you okay? You do realise the final results for the 2020 election have not come in either, just the same as 2000? Just because the media predicts Biden is going to win, doesn’t mean he has won, it means nothing. Their will be litigation and legal processes to follow just as there was in 2000, and then when the result is declared by the Supreme Court, a candidate will concede - most like we will watching Joe Biden give a speech like this in the coming months, and it will be much more embarrassing for him after he has already claimed victory.
Imagine if this was the only proof that humans existed.
I had forgotten how gracious he was in that speech. So glad I was able to see that again.
He was the President we needed but didn’t get. Thank you, Al Gore! I still remember your dad’s quote about allowing defeat to shape our soul for good. Thank you for your service!
Gore is the REAL patriot Trump pretends to be
Al Gore actually served in Vietnam when his Dad was an anti-war Senator!
THE most graceful Presidential concession speech ever given.
Gopher Baroque amen
if he was robbed, what else is expected
GuiltyDwarf I disagree, simply on the basis that most people nowadays and probably back then believe gore should’ve won whereas McCain lost in a landslide (kinda)
And important due to the circumstances of the election
Maybe after the supreme Court ruling Biden will be as courteous? LoL
4:52 "...that which unites is greater than that which divides us." This is the message Americans need to understand today, more than 20 years later.
These were the days when you voted for someone you really like.......not just because you hated the other guy......
Well to be fair we didn’t have the president at the time disrespect people of color and inciting violence and labeling protesters anarchist and looters.
You mean, they were really good at hiding there true colors
@@illdrumatik391 stupid people like you are so stupid that they don't know they are stupid and they like to make up ideas that are made up.
I voted for Trump because I liked him. It was the Biden people that voted out of hate for the other guy.

"Other disputes have dragged on for weeks before reaching resolution."
Things were so much brighter back in those days.
This is like seeing a vintage movie our grandparents would suggest we watch, to learn.
YES!!
Our older siblings, you mean
This was only like 20 years ago
Sad knowing how dreadful a President W Bush was
He's actually a good person but was surrounded by advisers who weren't and he himself made a few bad mistakes from the goodness of his heart. He created PEPFAR to fight AIDS in Africa. As of 2019, it has been credited with saving 13 millions African lives. Before Bush came into office, the US spent $1.4b in humanitarian and development aid in Africa. Within 1 year, Bush increased that figure to $5.6b. He made it easier for minorities and low income Americans to own houses because he believed it's part of the American dream. (Note: This played a role in the 2008 housing crash. Clinton and republicans as well as democrats contributed as well. So did Alan Greenspan). I think he, as the son of a former president, had his advisers picked out for him, and they picked the wrong people.
@@elsonlam but there's no denying that Bush Senior was the devil's incarnate.
Your a Clown.. Welcome to Democrat Plantation
The problems of the Bush Jr administration originated from Dick Cheney and the Goldman Sachs alumni that served as his advisors.
JollyOldCanuck as they say "the buck stops here."Can’t blame Cheney for any final decision made.Luckily for W he isn’t the worst in recent history anymore.Cheers
Imagine if Trump had given a concession speech like that in 2020..what a different country this would be right now!
Imagine if Democrats would have accepted the 2020 elections instead of blaming the Russians??
@@asahelmarin6330 The Dems did win though
I was a Bush supporter impressed by Al's concession. Dignified.
Bush stole this election.
Though I agree with the idea that Gore won Florida, I also believe that this was a dignified decision. This is how we uphold democracy.
Bush is an american hero goddamnit
Dont understand why you would have voted Bush. Bill Clinton created almost 20 million jobs and wiped all the national debt creating a surplus. You could have had more of that, or trillion dollar wars as well as a recession...
Can Trump give this kind of address is the question ????
No I don't think so.
Trump is Full of egos
I think he answered your question tonight
Never in a trillion years
no
Definitely not he'll ruin any chance he has in this 2024 election he thinks he will run for.
“Now the US Supreme Court has spoken. Let there be no doubt that while I strongly disagree with the court’s decision, I accept it.” Now that’s truly presidential. He lost, but he earned people’s trust and respect, because HE trusts and respects the democratic process on which the nation was founded.
The American people won't have been so divided if he had been the president. History would have been different.
I always come back to this speech, whenever I want to remind myself how to gracefully accept the outcome even when it seems that it should have been your favour but it doesn't, however humility is supreme
I agree. This speech is rousing for when you are in a rut. 🗨 👦
More presidential character in 8 minutes than the past four years.
Still worse than Teddy Roosevelt

He's waiting for 2024 since candidates in their late 70's is the norm now.
He’s making more money lying about global warming
@@georgejung722 literally what would you gain by going against the oil monopoly, wouldnt there be more money to be made trying to bolster big oil?
A true patriot.
I always wonder what would’ve happened if Al Gore had won.
@vlad wick There would have been 911.
@vlad wick Can't prove that it was Clinton that had a chance to get Bin Laden and blew it. now I do agree there would have been no Iraq war but let me remind you Kerry. Hillary and yes your Jesus Joe Biden all supported that war.
the country and world would have been a hell of a lot better off no debating that at all
@@andrewheydt8146 100%. Bush’s horrendous actions have taken decades to reverse.
They really should’ve recounted florida
He conceded with class. Trump doesn’t have an ounce of class.
Classy and unifying, protecting the republic from partisan rancor. All stuff we won't see from Trump here in 2020.
Love the CZcams algorithm. Timing!
Wow YT recommending all these transition of power and concession videos.
Very impressive speech.
I cast my first vote for this man and if ever a soul was stricken from a concession speech...
Pull whatever you want from your archive, but today we are playing a different game.
THE VOLUME INSIDE THIS BUS IS ASTRONOMICAL
I don't think Trump is physically or mentally capable of giving a speech like this
You mean Joe Biden?
To any decent human being, this speech, done under great stress and pressure shows the epitome of patriotism and unity. It also reminds us of the selfishness and traitorous behavior of Donald J. Trump.
Damn, he sounds so smart and professional compared to what we have today.
Dyam what a hell of a concession speech this was , Al was selfless and definitely chose to put love of country and democracy First. A fine example for all future Presidential hopefuls that loses the race .
Trump take notes....📝
No republican candidate can ever do this. Ever.
Romney and McCain were both gracious with their losses.
@@cman-xb4yd True. But Al Gore's situation was remarkably different
McCains concession speech in 2020 was so humble and emotional
This is how despite losing the election, you win the respect, the everlasting respect. Because the political posts are temporary, but respect and greatness are permanent.
I was five years old when this happened. It astounds me how different the cultural and rhetorical environment which this speech represents differs from our present time. Things have DRASTICALLY changed, and not for the better.
Such an articulate and educated person. Would have been a great president!!
I don't think we'd have the climate issues we have today if Al Gore had been elected. I wonder if that's where the money came from that beat him?
And less than one year after this speech Americans did unite on September 11th, 2001, and I for 1, believe that is in no small part due to this speech and the action of conceding after the supreme court's decision.Al Gore made himself an example that we didn't know we needed and , myself, am just now starting to deeply understand...
I don’t get why despite coming so painstakingly close to winning he never ran again.
I know most losing nominees don’t run again but still.
...then he goes on to win the Nobel Prize and work on environmental education ... I am watching this the day after the infamous day of January 6, 2021 when a confederate flag penetrated the Capitol... very poignant.
CZcams Algorithm showing me a lot of concussion speeches tonight. There's been a conspicuous lack of one recently.
And tonight for the sake of our unity as a people and the strength of our democracy, I offer my concession. -guy who barely lost the election
I WON THIS ELECTION BY A LOT -guy who lost the election by multiple states
Trump needs to watch and learn. If he can't, that's the reason why he doesn't qualify as the President
Do some research. Al Gore took weeks before conceding
@@CrazyFastNight lmao like Trump is going to concede right?
How stupid can you be? Trump is on the other side of this story, plus the results took days w iths shady decision, trump has all the right to question the transparency of this election
@@jean-pierre9698 sure b/c everything is just fake and rigged whenever the odds are against you? real smart lmfao
@@CrazyFastNight there was a real possibility that he should have won with bush's small lead in florida. This is simply not the case in the 2020 election.
This is the way a leader should act. True act of patriotism to walk away with grace and dignity for the sake of your country and people. And furthermore, he offered to work with President Bush.
To everyone that is going to come to this video over the coming days from both sides of the political spectrum...one candidate is going to give a concession speech in one form or another over the coming days or weeks... remember the pride you felt when watching this video... be proud to live in this country and think about a way you can put your ego aside and work towards an understanding with your fellow Americans.
Well said!!👊❤⚪💙
tell that to the liberals who tried to impeach a president that defeated them. they couldn’t grasp losing so they creates the Russia conspiracy.
@@covfefe1787
I like your handle.
@@spud1907 thank you lmao
@@covfefe1787 Fuck you and you dumbass Conservatives who impeached a president for getting head in the White House. You were so pissed that Clinton's economy was that good that you used THAT to try and strike him down.
Why the hell did Al Gore not run again!!!!!
I'm guessing he had low chances of actually winning since during times of war the seating president (usually) has an advantage.
Just got this recommended. Very good speech!
The reason politics was more civil back then was not because of the specific characters, but because the ideological divide was not as wide.
Put country before party
Really wish Al Gore had given it another shot he came so close in 2000 (And really should have won) I really don’t understand why he didn’t try to go at it at some point in the future.
I think most nominees that lose just have enough, they don’t want to go through the process again
when mainstream was neutral and not a dictator
Somebody tags “Twitter man”. Please do so!!!!
*He should have won!*
The president elects shouldnt be sooooo old. Al gore is like 50 here that should be the age.
Whether you’re a trump supporter or a Biden supporter, this statement is rendered pointless; they’re both old.
@@Iyellatbabies that doesn't render the statement pointless; what I suppose they meant is that neither Trump nor Biden is a suitable president elect. The mean age of all US presidents at the time of their inauguration is around 55 years. Trump was 70, Biden will be 78, both of them are too old, it's not just Trump vs Biden
Minute 3:47 💙
he was soo happy speaking!
