Thank you very much, everybody.
It's really an honor.
Speaker Johnson, Vice President Vance, First Lady of the United States. Second Lady of the United States.
Members of Congress and my fellow Americans, our nation is back, bigger, better, richer, and stronger than ever before.
Less than five months from now, our country will celebrate an epic milestone in American history, the 250th anniversary of our glorious American independence.
This July 4th, we will mark two and a half centuries of liberty and triumph, progress and freedom in the most incredible and exceptional nation ever to exist on the face of the earth.
And you've seen nothing yet.
We're going to do better and better and better.
This is the golden age of America.
When I last spoke in this chamber 12 months ago, I had just inherited a nation in crisis with a stagnant economy, inflation at record levels, a wide-open border, horrendous recruitment for military and police, rampant crime at home, and wars and chaos all over the world.
