"Our Economy is the strongest in the world."
"... Our economy is growing, but not without pain. Liberty is under assault -- assault both here and abroad. In recent days, there's been reason to think that this country is moving backward, that freedom is being reduced, that rights we assumed were protected are no longer. A reminder that we remain in an ongoing battle for the soul of America, as we have for over 200 years.

I know it can be exhausting and unsettling. But tonight, I want you to know we're going to get through all of this -- for all that we have faced, that we are going to get through this, and look how far we've come. We're reclaiming our way of life in a pandemic. Vaccines are nearly available to every American, restrictions lifted, the Fourth of July together again at the White House.
And for all the challenges, America has the strongest economy in the world. More people are working and starting businesses, more young people graduating from high school and college than ever before.
I just returned from an important trip -- the military will understand -- to Europe, to the NATO meeting. We’re relying on what we can do to rally the free world to defend freedom.

Brittney Griner pens 'freedom', 'liberty' letter to President Biden.
Before I left for Europe, I signed a law -- the first real gun safety law in 30 years. (Applause.) And things will get better still, but not without more hard work together.
You all heard what happened. You all heard what happened today. But each day, we're reminded there's nothing guaranteed about our democracy, nothing guaranteed about our way of life. We have to fight for it, defend it, and earn it by voting to refine, evolve, and extend the calling -- (applause) -- of America to move forward boldly and unafraid.
And this day reminds us of what brought us together long ago, what binds us still, and at our best, what we strive for. It’s “We the people.” Not a hollow phrase in America. “We the people” doing all we can to ensure that the idea of America and the cause of freedom and justice and equality does more than survive the divisions of our time, but that it shines like the sun to light up the future of our world.
I know -- I know we can do this. I know many Americans look around today and see a divided country and are deeply worried about that fact. I understand. But I believe we're more united than we are divided.
Even more, I believe it's a choice we make. And I believe it's within our power to choose unity and unity of purpose.
As I look out tonight, here at the White House, I see so many military families who understand the essential American truth. It's a greatest honor to serve as your Commander-in-Chief. And Jill and I are humbled to be with you tonight.
Tomorrow, we'll be bestowing the Medal of Honor, the highest military award, to heroic service members who represent the best of America, the backbone, the sinew, the spine of America.
And Thursday, I'll bestow the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest civilian award, to extraordinary Americans who embody and endure -- the enduring character of this nation.
All of them, all of you are reminders that we're a great nation because we're a good people.
It’s because of you I've never been more optimistic about America than I am today. An optimism that digs deep and never gives up -- that's America. That's America.
So, on this day, amid the storm and strife, may we commit ourselves to a principled patriotism for the large and complex mission to protect and make a -- more perfect our union, make real the declaration of our independence, and ensure that America is forever a place not marked by the thirst for power at any cost, but by a covenant of trust and hope and promise.
Happy Fourth of July, America. May God bless America, and may God protect our troops. Enjoy the day."
