President Whitmore's speech
With humankind on the brink of extinction, United States President Thomas J. Whitmore (Bill Pullman) delivers one of the best inspirational speeches in disaster movie history. What follows is a transcript of that speech:
"Good morning. Good morning. In less than an hour, aircraft from here will join others from around the world, and you will be launching the largest aerial battle in the history of mankind. Mankind, that word should have new meaning for all of us today. We can't be consumed by our petty differences any more. We will be united in our common interest. Perhaps it's fate that today is the 4th of July, and you will once again be fighting for our freedom. Not from tyranny, oppression, or persecution, but from annihilation. We're fighting for our right to live, to exist�and should we win the day, the 4th of July will no longer be known as an American holiday, but as the day when the world declared in one voice, 'We will not go quietly into the night! We will not vanish without a fight! We're going to live on, we're going to survive.' Today we celebrate our independence day!"

We're heading into territory where this president could indeed shoot someone and not lose one iota of right wing support.
