'Some powerful forces are trying to divide us as Americans'  'There's some powerful forces that are trying to divide us as Americans,' says Kamala Harris, referring to her Republican rival, Donald Trump. 'There's this kind of backward thinking coming from some folks that suggests that the measure of the strength of a leader is based on who you beat down, instead of (...) who you lift up,' Harris tells a campaign event in Scottsdale, Arizona.

00:00And part of what we know has been happening in the last several years in our country is

00:04there's some powerful forces that are trying to divide us as Americans, would have us and

00:12cheer us on if we point fingers at one another.

00:16There's this kind of backward thinking coming from some folks that suggests that the measure

00:21of the strength of a leader is based on who you beat down, instead of what we know, which

00:28is the real measure of the strength of a leader is based on who you lift up.

00:36And I tell you, because I have traveled the country recently, including the many, many

00:42trips that I've taken over the last almost four years, but recently in particular, where

01:01One of the things that I think about and weighs on me sometimes is I hope we as Americans

01:11really understand how important we are to the world.

01:16I love good ideas.

01:18Wherever they come from, I love good ideas.

01:28And so part of what I intend to do, Mayor, and put some structure around, is creating

01:32a bipartisan council of advisors who can then give feedback on policy as we go forward.

01:42In order for us as America to maintain our status as the strongest democracy in the world,

01:50we need a healthy two-party system.

01:52We have to have a healthy two-party system.

01:54We have to.

01:55It's in the best interest of all of us.

01:58It's in the best interest of all of us.
