A digitally composited graphic, apparently an official White House commemorative image, celebrating the 250th anniversary of American independence (2026). It shows a formation of jet aircraft in the sky trailing red, white, and blue smoke that forms the number "250," set against a dramatic orange-and-blue dusk sky. Below, the illuminated White House is shown at night/dusk with an American flag flying atop it, surrounded by dark silhouetted trees. White bold text below the "250" graphic reads "HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY." In the bottom right corner is a logo reading "THE WHITE HOUSE" with a small eagle/wings emblem and "250" beneath it.

How does she explain that to the American people? >> Yeah, I think it's gonna be really difficult, and I agree with Tammy, that it is gonna end up coming down to credibility. Look, Donald Trump is probably the greatest political debater we've ever had in American history. He went through the 2016 primary and knocked out 18 Republicans. He managed to knock out a sitting president out of the race before the first ballot was cast in a debate. And but I think that what will be sort of surprising to people is I think that Kamala Harris will end up actually doing better than people are anticipating because there's been so much hype about how bad she is with her word salads. But the problem is that she will appear to do better during the debate. But the problem is that you're gonna take whatever she says during the debate and compare it to all of those platforms that you just listed that she's already flipped on and compare the tape from tomorrow night to all the other things that she said in the past. And the problem with that is not only does it suggest that she has no idea where she is on the issues, the problem is that it reveals her willingness to say anything she has to say to get elected. And that goes to the heart of credibility and nothing defines a politician like credibility, either losing it or having it. And you're right. And Trump has the credibility and she does not. You're right about, I mean he's not, he ran the first time, I'm not a politician and people like that because he's genuine. We know where he stands, a typical politician flip-flops, right, when they realize the American public doesn't like your old policies. All right, here's Bernie Sanders, this was over the weekend, and he was saying, no, she has not changed, she's still a progressive, she's just doing this to win. Listen to this. I don't think she's abandoning her ideals, I think she's trying to be pragmatic and doing what she thinks is right in order to win the election. Her views are not mine, but I do consider her progressive. All right, Tammy, your reaction. Yes, well, he used the word ideals, she used the word values. And when she used that word values in that interview that she did for 16 minutes, that was a wink and a nod to the left flank that was what I just said. Don't listen to what I say, watch what I do. We were also told by this team that they were going to be the Unitors, that they were going to bring things back to normal. Their normal is chaos, their normal is a bad economy, their normal is crime, their normal is an open border, their normal are world wars. We've seen it now, and they are making the mistake of underestimating the American people. And that's where that New York Times-Santa poll indicates, is that the American people want change, after all of this, they don't see her as the agent of change, they see Trump as that person. Okay, Charlie, quick reaction. I love the way he says that, he said that like he was helping her out, and he's actually absolutely destroying her credibility as he says it. But he's won from this. Charlie has gained more from the Biden-Harris administration than radicals like Bernie Sanders. Yeah, thank you so much. I appreciate both of you all being here.

Well, I think it's just disgusting that anybody would have to pay $175 million and there's no victim because there was no crime. What is unbelievable is that we talk about election interference all the time, especially on the left. This is as close to election interference as I can imagine. I can't think of a worse decision on the state of New York and the legal system than to target the political opponent of the person they support. It is so disgusting, Martha, to see this two-tiered justice system play out. We know Joe Biden kept classified documents, but he doesn't have a memory that allows him to go before a jury. We know that the family has all kinds of tentacles around the world making money. Nothing happened. The reason why Americans are so frustrated and disgusted with this justice system, whether it's New York or the DOJ, is because Lady Justice needs to wear a blindfold, and she doesn't here. That's just frustrating. It is frustrating. As we say, whether people are supporters of the former president or not, parts of what's going on here I think a lot of people find abhorrent. Are you surprised that this continues to fuel his election run? I'm not, because if you are a red-blooded American and you believe in fairness, you believe in justice, you believe that America must be the fairest nation on the planet. When you see this level of injustice, you are disgusted by it, and you will rally to the cause of the underdog. This media, national media on the left, this justice system in New York and the DOJ continues to make President Trump into a victim, and whether you're a Republican or independent and a few Democrats, you want a nation that the law and order applies to all Americans fairly, and we are watching with our own eyes. I think that's true, and I think a lot of people find it horrifying, no matter what side of the political fence they're on.

A screenshot compilation of four X (Twitter) posts from conservative commentators praising a State of the Union address (SOTU), stacked vertically. Each shows the poster's profile photo, display name, verification checkmark, handle, and their comment text, with a "no retweet" icon and "..." menu at the top right of each post.

Text in image: Marc Thiessen 🇺🇸❤️🇺🇦🇹🇼🇮🇱✔ (verified) @marcthiessen Truly one of the best SOTUs ever. The way he weaves the stories of ordinary Americans into his policy narrative is unmatched. Laura Ingraham ✔ (verified) @IngrahamAngle When future historians want to understand how Trump dominated American politics for 12 years, they should watch and read this speech. Bo Snerdley ✔ (verified) @BoSnerdley [Subscribe] I have been watching State of the Union addresses for decades. I have never seen one like this. Matthew Boyle ✔ (verified) @mboyle1 Honestly, I cannot think of a better SOTU at least in my 15 plus years of covering these.

This year we're celebrating the 250th anniversary of American freedom, and no state has been more central to protecting that freedom than the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania is where America declared its independence, where George Washington crossed to Delaware, where the union was saved by the heroes of Gettysburg. What a war that was when you read about it. And where Pennsylvania workers poured the iron and steel that won two world wars and won lots of other things in addition. With today's announcement, Pennsylvania will play a key role in building the arsenal of freedom to defend our nation in the modern world. We have things happening in this state. I think really people don't know what's happening in Pennsylvania. People aren't really, literally they're not able to even fathom what's going on. I'm just saying back there I thought I was very well aware of it, and then I'm meeting people, very well known people, and they're saying what they're doing here. We got to get the word out a little bit, because this is very much of a miracle, very much of a miracle, highly respected people. The talent and innovation in this room will keep America safe for many years to come.

There are certainly sacrifices that come along with this life. Our kids are little, we're going to have to move. There are also-- This is a great video. This shows you the contrast between the perpetual victims that the left are, where they see oppression and everything. You'll see it here, the way Michelle Obama lives one of the most privileged lives you can imagine. And watch the way she looks at us. So a lot of good things. It's expensive to live in the White House. What a blessing it is to be here. There were moments when I didn't feel like I got enough attention. We live in this beautiful, very protected mansion that the American people have gifted us. Many people don't know. I mean, much is not covered. Most of our meals are prepared for us. So we don't have to worry as much about cooking. You're paying for every food, every bit of food that you eat. There are a lot of things that in some ways make having a baby easier. How do you raise kids in the White House? It's dangerous. You don't have to worry about TSA lines when you're the Vice President. Air Force 2 makes transportation pretty easy. We had to pay for their travel to be on the plane. Mine added two towards kids. They're a hassle. What the hell have we gotten ourselves into? No more kids. They mess you up. Then we had a second. Then we had a third. Now both of us are just like, what's one more? Whatever. Says a lot, doesn't it?
