George Conway On Trump's Lie Filled State Of The Union Speech - Fast Politics w/ Molly Jong-Fast

[Rhiannon12866]

NY - 12 Congressional Candidate George Conway joins the host to react in real time to a nearly two-hour Donald Trump speech they describe as rambling, prop-heavy, and saturated with falsehoods, contrasting it unfavorably with Trump’s more structured 2017 address. They criticize the staged “stand up if you love America” moments and the repeated introduction of audience members as emotional set pieces, arguing it feels tawdry and manipulative rather than substantive.

The conversation also touches on policy and scandal, including the hypocrisy of touting a congressional stock-trading ban while alleged profiteering and influence-selling continue, confusion and concern over Iran rhetoric and potential escalation, and new reporting about missing Epstein-related documents that they frame as a possible cover-up and legal violation. Ultimately, they conclude the speech is less persuasion than performance—long, incoherent, and aimed at a captive audience—while warning that everyday realities like prices, war, and ongoing investigations are harder to spin away. - 02/24/2026.
