Fact-checking Trump’s State of the Union claims

Season 2026 Episode 44 | 10m 41s

President Trump touted the economy and his immigration policies in a record-long State of the Union address, and he'll soon take those messages on the road. The White House is hoping Trump can convince Americans to stay the course, as Democrats slammed the speech for being too partisan, divisive and out of touch. Liz Landers recaps and fact-checks the president's speech.
