Heat. Heat. Members of Congress, I have the high privilege and distinct honor of presenting to you the President of the United States.
USA us. >> Well, 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 openen border, horrendous recruitment for military and police, rampid crime at home, and wars and chaos.
us all over the world. But tonight, after just one year, I can say with dignity and pride that we have achieved a transformation like no one has ever seen before and a turnaround for the ages. It is indeed a turnaround for the ages.
And we will never go back to where we were just a very short time ago. We're not going back. >> Today, our border is secure.
USA. >> Thank you. Today, our border is secure.
Our spirit is restored. Inflation is plummeting. Incomes are rising fast.
The roaring economy is roaring like never before. And our enemies are scared. Our military and police are stacked.
And America is respected again. perhaps like never before. After four years in which millions and millions of illegal aliens poured across our borders totally unvetted and unchecked, we now have the strongest and most secure border in American history by far.
In the past nine months, zero illegal aliens have been admitted to the United States. But we will always allow people to come in legally, people that will love our country and will work hard to maintain our country. The flow of deadly fentinol across our border is down by a record 56% in one year.
And last year the murder rate saw its single largest decline in recorded history. This is the biggest decline, think of it, in recorded history. the lowest number in over 125 years.
Year 1900. In fact, substantially before my wonderful father, I had a wonderful father, Fred, before he was born. Substantially before he was born.
That's a long time ago. He wouldn't like me to say that, but that's a long time ago. The Biden administration and its allies in Congress gave us the worst inflation in the history of our country.
But in 12 months, my administration has driven core inflation down to the lowest level in more than 5 years. And in the last three months of 2025, it was down to 1. 7%.
Gasoline, which reached a peak of over $6 a gallon in some states. Under my predecessor, it was quite honestly a disaster, is now below $2. 30 a gallon in most states and in some places $1.
99 a gallon. And when I visited the great state of Iowa just a few weeks ago, I even saw $185 a gallon for gasoline. Mortgage rates are the lowest in four years and falling fast.
And the annual cost of a typical new mortgage is down almost $5,000. just since I took office, one year. And low interest rates will solve the Biden created housing problem while at the same time protecting the values of those people who already own a house that really feel rich for the first time in their lives.
We want to protect those values. We want to keep those values up. We're gonna do both and we are going to keep it that way.
The stock market has set 53 all-time record highs since the election. Think of that. One year, boosting pensions, 401ks, and retirement accounts for the millions and millions of Americans.
They're all gaining. Everybody's up, way up. In four long years, the last administration got less than $1 trillion dollar in new investment in the United States.
And when I say less, substantially less. In 12 months, I secured commitments for more than $18 trillion pouring in from all over the globe. Think of it.
Much less than $1 trillion for four years versus much more than $18 trillion for one year. What a difference a president makes. A short time ago, we were a dead country.
Now, we are the hottest country anywhere in the world. The hottest As thousands of new businesses are forming and factories, plants, and laboratories are being built, we have added 70,000 new construction jobs in just a very short period of time. It's getting bigger and bigger and stronger.
Nobody can believe what they're watching. American oil production is up by more than 600,000 barrels a day. And we just received from our new friend and partner, Venezuela, more than 80 million barrels of oil.
American natural gas production is at an all-time high because I kept my promise to drill, baby, drill. More Americans are working today than at any time in the history of our country. Think about that.
any time in the history of our country more working today. And 100% of all jobs created under my administration have been in the private sector. We ended dei in America.
We cut a record number of job killing regulations and in one year we have lifted 2. 4 million Americans, a record, off of food stamps. And for all of these reasons, I say tonight, members of Congress, the state of our union is strong.
Our country is winning again. In fact, we're winning so much that we really don't know what to do about it. People are asking me, "Please, please, please, Mr President, we're winning too much.
We can't take it anymore. We're not used to winning in our country. Until you came along, we're just always losing.
But now we're winning too much. " And I say, "No, no, no. You're going to win again.
You're going to win big. You're going to win bigger than ever. And to prove that point, TO PROVE THAT POINT, HERE WITH US TONIGHT IS A GROUP of winners who just made the entire nation proud.
The men's gold medal Olympic hockey team. Come on in. US.
USA. USA.
