What the evidence supports
Nassau County had been rated the safest county in the United States.
U.S. News & World Report's 2024 Healthiest Communities analysis ranked Nassau County first for public safety with a score of 100. The measure combined crime, injury and public-safety-capacity indicators, so the verdict supports the historical ranking Trump cited, not a claim that Nassau necessarily had the lowest current crime rate on every measure.

Prescription-drug prices recorded their sharpest annual decline in more than 60 years.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that its prescription-drug index fell 3.1% in the year ending July 2026, the largest 12-month decline since a 3.2% fall in March 1963. The verdict covers the price-index claim Trump read from a headline, not his administration's sole responsibility for the change or his broader drug-price claims later in the speech.
- Speaker
- Donald J. Trump
The United States achieved the single largest reduction in violent crime in American history in 2025.
The FBI's preliminary 2025 release estimated a 9.3% decline in violent crime and described it as the largest decrease since 1937. That is a historic fall across the agency's long comparable series, but it does not establish the broader all-of-American-history superlative, and the preliminary figures remain subject to revision.
- Speaker
- Donald J. Trump
The 2025 murder rate was the lowest in 125 years.
Preliminary FBI figures support a large 2025 murder decline and indicate the rate was likely the lowest since 1960. But reliable national comparisons do not extend cleanly to 1900: coverage and definitions changed, and the FBI's consistent national series does not establish the full 125-year claim. The modern-era low is real; the asserted historical span is not demonstrated.
- Speaker
- Donald J. Trump
Biden allowed 11,888 convicted murderers into the United States, many of whom had killed more than one person.
The ICE non-detained docket cited for this allegation accumulated cases over decades and multiple administrations, included lawful permanent residents and visa holders, and included people serving prison sentences. It does not show that Biden admitted 11,888 convicted murderers. No reviewed government record substantiates Trump's added assertion that many had killed more than one person.
- Speaker
- Donald J. Trump
New York's no-cash-bail law sends someone accused of killing a person straight back onto the street.
New York law treats any crime alleged to have caused another person's death as a bail-qualifying offense. A judge may set monetary bail and, for a qualifying felony, order remand. Outcomes vary by case, but the law does not require the automatic same-day release Trump described for an accused killer.
- Speaker
- Donald J. Trump
For 15 straight months, zero people had crossed the border illegally.
The administration reported successive months with zero Border Patrol releases, not zero illegal crossings. DHS and CBP reported 9,848 Border Patrol apprehensions along the southwest border in June 2026 alone. Trump accurately read the zero-release headline immediately before changing it into a zero-crossings claim.

Bottom line
August 14 produced seven responsibly assessable Trump claims: two Supported, three False and two Misleading. Official data support the cited prescription-drug decline and Nassau County's historical public-safety ranking. The FBI also documents a major 2025 crime decline, but not Trump's broader all-history and 125-year formulations. Immigration-docket records, New York bail law and border apprehension data contradict three other core propositions. Two Trump-participation transcripts are available and indexed; the staff-only Air Force One briefing is excluded.
