abstract = {This research endeavours to dissect the intricate web of political communication after thoroughly
analysing The American President speech presented at the National Safer Communities Summit 2023
using a comprehensive critical discourse analysis (CDA). This study seeks to clarify the various
aspects of power and ideology present in the speech through the utilisation of Fairclough's Model of
Critical Discourse Analysis as the analytical framework. By scrutinising linguistic choices, rhetorical
strategies, and discursive patterns, the analysis uncovers the ways in which language functions as a
tool for constructing and disseminating political agendas. Employing a mixed-methods approach, the
research seamlessly combines textual analysis with contextual exploration to unravel not only the
linguistic intricacies but also the broader sociopolitical context that frames the discourse. Amidst
President Biden's articulation of his vision for safer communities, this study reveals the nuanced
intersections of language, power, and governance. By unmasking the underlying power dynamics
and ideologies woven into the fabric of political discourse, this research contributes to an enhanced
understanding of how language shapes public perception and policy discourse. Ultimately, this study
underscores the imperative of critically engaging with political speeches to foster an informed and
participatory citizenry, highlighting language's pivotal role in shaping our collective political
consciousness.},
