Donald 4 00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:21,680 Speaker 2: Trump was on offense. He was goading the Dems, but 5 00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:24,119 Speaker 2: he was also specific at times. He talked about what 6 00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:26,880 Speaker 2: he's done, he talked about what he wants to do. 7 00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:30,240 Speaker 2: He had a solid message for the base. He probably 8 00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:34,880 Speaker 2: even swayed some independence. He used the gallery with great skill, 9 00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:38,320 Speaker 2: and it was the medals he awarded that really balanced 10 00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:41,599 Speaker 2: out the speech, made it personal and patriotic.

Did he rock you last night with 25 00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:47,520 Speaker 2: the State of the Union address? It really wasn't meant 26 00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:50,400 Speaker 2: to persuade the other party anymore. I mean, it's meant 27 00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:53,120 Speaker 2: to energize your own side. That's what the State of 28 00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:54,160 Speaker 2: the Union address is. 29 00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:58,040 Speaker 4: Nobody, no politician puts on a better show than Donald Trump. 30 00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:02,200 Speaker 4: He was last night peak Donald Trump. I mean it 31 00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:04,600 Speaker 4: was like so Donald Trump, and it was almost like 32 00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:09,080 Speaker 4: he was doing an impersonation of himself, like everything was exaggerated, 33 00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:12,840 Speaker 4: everything was a performance. He welcomed all sorts of guests. 34 00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:15,680 Speaker 4: He made fun of the Democrats. He was shouting back 35 00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:18,400 Speaker 4: and forth in front of him. He talked about his accomplishments. 36 00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:20,840 Speaker 4: He rolled out some new initiatives that are going to 37 00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:25,480 Speaker 4: take place. He is a performer and he and he performed. 38 00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:28,440 Speaker 4: He loves it because the whole world while watches the 39 00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:31,520 Speaker 4: United States, literally the whole world is watching the All 40 00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:35,519 Speaker 4: eyes are on Trump, and he's got the microphone and 41 00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:37,079 Speaker 4: nobody can take it from him. 42 00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:37,880 Speaker 5: I don't know if you notice. 43 00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:41,280 Speaker 2: At one point his microphone was over modulated because he 44 00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:42,160 Speaker 2: was so excited. 45 00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:43,320 Speaker 5: We'll get to that later on. 46 00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:45,840 Speaker 4: I did. He was getting some distortion on the my life. 47 00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:50,519 Speaker 2: But he energizing the bass, creating some shareable moments, also 48 00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:55,320 Speaker 2: defining the news cycle. And that's what happened. The opposition's 49 00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:58,760 Speaker 2: party rebuttal. It felt like a parallel universe version of 50 00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:00,640 Speaker 2: the same country. I mean, I don't know if you 51 00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:05,000 Speaker 2: caught it, but they had dancing frogs at their Democrat 52 00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:09,880 Speaker 2: party what they were doing. Most Americans, of course, experienced 53 00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:12,880 Speaker 2: the State of the Union address through twenty second clips 54 00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:16,760 Speaker 2: optimized by social media. If you weren't staying up late 55 00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:20,160 Speaker 2: watching the whole one hour and forty eight. 56 00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:22,320 Speaker 5: Minutes, you're getting clips here and there. 57 00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:26,359 Speaker 2: So let's discuss some of the key themes and claims. 58 00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:32,040 Speaker 2: He talked about the economy, immigration and border, healthcare and drugs, 59 00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:37,680 Speaker 2: election laws, and foreign policy. He honored heroes, Olympic athletes, 60 00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:41,360 Speaker 2: and he was awarding medals of honor during this speech. 61 00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:47,760 Speaker 5: Yeah, it did sound a bit like a game show 62 00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:48,440 Speaker 5: at one point. 63 00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:50,520 Speaker 4: Yeah, I kind of felt like the price is right 64 00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:52,560 Speaker 4: there for a little bit. It was like, Erica Kirk, 65 00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:56,320 Speaker 4: come on down, you're the next contestant on the state 66 00:03:56,360 --> 00:04:00,040 Speaker 4: of the US men's hockey team, Come on down, what 67 00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:02,960 Speaker 4: next contestant on my State of the Union. 68 00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:06,240 Speaker 2: He he did talk about the economy a lot. That's 69 00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:08,680 Speaker 2: what people wanted to hear, and many people were saying, 70 00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:10,560 Speaker 2: I wanted him to talk about that more. I wanted 71 00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:13,720 Speaker 2: him to talk about that the whole time. He did 72 00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:17,120 Speaker 2: mention it quite a bit. He said, it's we're experiencing 73 00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:18,839 Speaker 2: a turnaround for the ages. 74 00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:20,880 Speaker 5: We have a roaring economy. 75 00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:25,279 Speaker 2: He mentioned gasoline being below two dollars and thirty cents 76 00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:26,560 Speaker 2: in some states. 77 00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:28,040 Speaker 5: He mentioned Iowa specifically. 78 00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:30,400 Speaker 4: What states are is it below two dollars in thirty 79 00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:33,040 Speaker 4: he mentioned Iowa. Well, it's definitely not the case here 80 00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:33,840 Speaker 4: in Indiana. 81 00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:37,240 Speaker 2: He said the stock market hit a fifty three all 82 00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:40,800 Speaker 2: time record high in one year. Fifty three all time 83 00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:44,160 Speaker 2: records in one year. He said that we secured eighteen 84 00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:47,240 Speaker 2: trillion from all over the globe. He called us the 85 00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:51,760 Speaker 2: hottest country anywhere in the world, seventy thousand new construction jobs. 86 00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:54,040 Speaker 5: He said oil production. 87 00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:56,520 Speaker 2: Is up by more than six hundred thousand barrels a 88 00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:59,400 Speaker 2: day and that we received eighty million bears of oil 89 00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:03,320 Speaker 2: from Venice and that we have more working Americans than 90 00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:06,800 Speaker 2: any time in history. He also said the average four 91 00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:09,760 Speaker 2: oh one k is up thirty thousand dollars and that 92 00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:12,920 Speaker 2: we lifted two point four million Americans off of food stamps. 93 00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:16,680 Speaker 5: Now is all of that true, I don't know. 94 00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:21,320 Speaker 2: Maybe it's true, could be true, possibly true, Probably true. 95 00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:22,000 Speaker 3: Yeah. 96 00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:24,680 Speaker 4: Look, Trump has to do a little dancing when it 97 00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:26,760 Speaker 4: comes to the economy because we've got right now what 98 00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:29,400 Speaker 4: we've talked about, and that is the K shaped recovery. 99 00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:31,919 Speaker 4: If you think of a capital K, there's two lines 100 00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:33,880 Speaker 4: sticking out and one is going up and one is 101 00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:36,520 Speaker 4: going down. And for some people in this country things 102 00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:39,080 Speaker 4: are great, and other people in this country, a lot 103 00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:42,159 Speaker 4: of people in this country, life is completely unaffordable. And 104 00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:44,040 Speaker 4: so he has to do some dancing when it comes 105 00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:47,560 Speaker 4: to the economy. Remember, the stock market. 106 00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:49,200 Speaker 5: Is not the economy. 107 00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:52,880 Speaker 4: That is not the economy. And I get why he 108 00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:55,080 Speaker 4: focused on it so much. And he talked about how 109 00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:57,279 Speaker 4: the records in the stock market and people's four oh 110 00:05:57,360 --> 00:05:59,000 Speaker 4: one k's are up, and he rolled out a new 111 00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:01,400 Speaker 4: four oh one K initiative that he wants to put 112 00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:04,080 Speaker 4: forth at last night. But we know the other side 113 00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:08,920 Speaker 4: and that is life is unaffordable for many Americans. Housing 114 00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:13,560 Speaker 4: is completely unaffordable on every level. Energy prices are through 115 00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:16,440 Speaker 4: the roof. Your natural gas and your electric bill has 116 00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:19,040 Speaker 4: gone through the roof. Taxes are insane, especially when it 117 00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:21,600 Speaker 4: comes to property taxes. Oh yeah, and by the way, 118 00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:24,360 Speaker 4: one of the reasons why gas isn't below two dollars 119 00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:26,480 Speaker 4: and thirty cents a gallon here in Indiana, it's because 120 00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:28,440 Speaker 4: we have one of the highest gas taxes in the 121 00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:31,880 Speaker 4: entire country and awful roads to show for it. Yeah, 122 00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:35,799 Speaker 4: life is unaffordable for people. So Donald Trump, he's telling 123 00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:38,200 Speaker 4: you the story he wants you to hear when it 124 00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:41,279 Speaker 4: comes to the economy. But there's a completely different story 125 00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:43,600 Speaker 4: out there that's also taking place at the same time. 126 00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:46,120 Speaker 2: Well, if you ask him, he has turned it around, 127 00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:49,080 Speaker 2: and that's exactly how he started this speech last night. 128 00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:50,240 Speaker 3: Thank you. 129 00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:56,359 Speaker 1: Today, our border is secure, our spirit is restored, Inflation 130 00:06:56,640 --> 00:07:03,080 Speaker 1: is plummeting, incomes are rising. Asked, the roaring economy is 131 00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:07,280 Speaker 1: roaring like never before, and our enemies are scared, our 132 00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:11,559 Speaker 1: military and police are stacked, and America is respected again, 133 00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:14,080 Speaker 1: perhaps like never before. 134 00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:20,400 Speaker 2: So the State of the Union address originates obviously in 135 00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:25,080 Speaker 2: the Constitution required by the president to periodically inform Congress 136 00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:28,880 Speaker 2: about the nation's condition. George Washington was the first to 137 00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:32,560 Speaker 2: do it. You had Thomas Jefferson, who actually just wrote 138 00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:34,720 Speaker 2: a letter, a written message. 139 00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:36,280 Speaker 4: Send them a book report. Hey guys, here it is. 140 00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:38,160 Speaker 4: Don't bother me. I'm going over and digging. 141 00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:38,760 Speaker 5: A nap, right. 142 00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:41,880 Speaker 2: And then you had Woodrow Wilson, who revived it in 143 00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:46,240 Speaker 2: person in nineteen thirteen, and obviously, with the invention of 144 00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:51,000 Speaker 2: the television broadcasting, expanded it to the national audience. 145 00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:52,440 Speaker 5: And then you have. 146 00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:57,680 Speaker 2: People on the Democrat side who aren't even going. And 147 00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:02,000 Speaker 2: here in Indianapolis on Carson, he said he wasn't going 148 00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:05,440 Speaker 2: to go. He said, families are stretched thin by higher prices, 149 00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:10,119 Speaker 2: communities are disturbed by fatal immigration enforcement tactics, and working 150 00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:13,560 Speaker 2: people are watching the wealthiest Americans benefit while the middle 151 00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:14,840 Speaker 2: class is left behind. 152 00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:15,880 Speaker 5: He said, he's not going. 153 00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:20,560 Speaker 2: To participate in this spectacle. Okay, So what are his 154 00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:24,720 Speaker 2: answers to any of the problems? Literally, the Democrats had 155 00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:27,240 Speaker 2: a party with dancing frogs. 156 00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:30,560 Speaker 5: That is no joke. They have nothing to offer. 157 00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:33,840 Speaker 2: All they're doing is shutting down the government and obstructing 158 00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:34,400 Speaker 2: and what were. 159 00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:38,760 Speaker 4: Those dances I missed Spamberger's counter speech that she did. 160 00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:40,880 Speaker 4: They were dancing frogs as the party with her. 161 00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:43,160 Speaker 5: It was during the opposition parties. 162 00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:45,959 Speaker 2: There were four different parties going on last night where 163 00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:47,440 Speaker 2: the Democrats were showing up. 164 00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:49,800 Speaker 5: Most disappointing to. 165 00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:53,520 Speaker 2: Me, though, is that the Democrats they missed the opportunity 166 00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:56,959 Speaker 2: to pay homage to all the heroes that were highlighted 167 00:08:57,040 --> 00:09:00,240 Speaker 2: in this speech last night, like Chief warrent Off, Sir 168 00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:03,720 Speaker 2: Eric Slover, one of the heroes of the military Operation 169 00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:07,720 Speaker 2: of Venezuela.
