Unity may be one of our most elusive goals, but I firmly believe nothing is as important.

We can do this. And we must.
We owe it to those who gave their lives for this country. We owe it to ourselves. And we owe it to our children and our grandchildren. pic.twitter.com/6bMu1UvOVm
The video clip is 1 minute and 31 seconds long.
Remarks by President Biden in Address to the Nation; the YouTube is 6 minutes and 30 seconds long.
And some have a different view as to the direction our country should take. Disagreement is inevitable in American democracy. It’s part of human nature. But politics must never be a literal battlefield and, God forbid, a killing field.
I believe politics ought to be an arena for peaceful debate, to pursue justice, to make decisions guided by the Declaration of Independence and our Constitution. We stand for an America not of extremism and fury but of decency and grace.

You know, we’re blessed to live in the greatest country on Earth. And I believe that with every soul — every power of my being. So, tonight, I’m asking every American to recommit to make America so — make America what it i- — think about it. What’s made America so special?
[snip]
You know, from the beginning, our founders understood the power of passion, and so they created a democracy that gave reason and balance a chance to prevail over brute force. That’s the America we must be, an American democracy where arguments are made in good faith, an American democracy where the rule of law is respected, an American democracy where decency, dignity, fair play aren’t just quaint notions, but living, breathing realities.
We owe that to those who come before us, to those who gave their lives for this country. We that — we owe that to ourselves. We owe it to our children and our grandchildren.
Look, let’s never lose sight of who we are. Let’s remember we are the United States of America. There is nothing, nothing, nothing beyond our capacity when we do it together.

Today, we mourn the loss of Bob Newhart, a comedy legend and beloved performer who kept Americans laughing for decades.
— President Biden (@POTUS) July 19, 2024
Today, he was reunited with his wife Ginnie. My thoughts are with his children and grandchildren, and all those whose days were brightened by his work.
Bob Newhart, a groundbreaking standup comedian who became a sitcom star, died Thursday at age 94.

Known for his deadpan delivery, Newhart became one of the most influential figures in modern comedy. https://t.co/ex6PmhcYr6 pic.twitter.com/BkVghQcmDv
It’s hard to believe that, I don’t recall a time, that his shows weren’t on my TV growing up.
His wife of sixty years passed away in April of 2023…
We lost our beloved Ginnie Quinn Newhart – Wife, Mother and Grandmother on April 23rd, 2023 after a long battle with illness. She was our rock and we miss her terribly.

In January of that same year Bob Newhart shared photos on their 60th wedding anniversary…
Sixty years ago today, after being set up on a blind date by Buddy Hackett, Bob Newhart married Virginia Quinn on January 12, 1963. In honor of this amazing milestone, we wanted to share some of our favorite photos. pic.twitter.com/geomPt4s7K

From Friday…
My Administration has taken historic action to lower costs for families across the country.
— President Biden (@POTUS) July 19, 2024
And just this week, we launched https://t.co/zcbDCq8fnK to see how you could benefit from these actions – saving money on utility bills, junk fees, health care costs, and more.
It’s just an interactive website to show people they might be saving money.
