1
00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:17,720
Speaker 1: Hey there, everybody, it is Wednesday, February twenty fifth, the

2
00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:22,360
Speaker 1: best State of the Union ever. And with that, welcome

3
00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:25,200
Speaker 1: to this episode of Amy and TJ. I should make

4
00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:27,640
Speaker 1: a distinction here I said best State of the Union ever,

5
00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:30,600
Speaker 1: not best State of the Union speech.

6
00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:34,160
Speaker 2: Just the production itself.

7
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:36,680
Speaker 3: Wow, it was, you know what?

8
00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:39,239
Speaker 2: It was worth not getting a lot of sleep for.

9
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:42,480
Speaker 4: We stayed up and look, you know me, I fall

10
00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:47,320
Speaker 4: asleep pretty much watching anything after nine pm. I was

11
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:52,920
Speaker 4: up the entire time. It was highly watchable and dare

12
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:54,320
Speaker 4: I say, entertaining.

13
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:56,120
Speaker 3: And historic and long.

14
00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:59,160
Speaker 1: Folks, if you didn't stay up, and maybe you didn't,

15
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:03,120
Speaker 1: but you missed the longest State of the Union speech

16
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:08,160
Speaker 1: in history, surpassing a record only set by mister Trump.

17
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:09,920
Speaker 1: It didn't feel like it was that long, I'll be

18
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:10,280
Speaker 1: honest with you.

19
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:11,399
Speaker 2: Didn't, you know?

20
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:14,520
Speaker 4: And that is why it was so watchable, because it

21
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:18,480
Speaker 4: wasn't just watching someone talk and talk and read prepared remarks. No,

22
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:23,839
Speaker 4: it was interspersed with poignant moments, things that even brought

23
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:27,959
Speaker 4: tears to my eyes, funny moments. I got a kick

24
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:31,320
Speaker 4: out of watching the two fellas behind Trump the entire time.

25
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 2: Per usual, And yeah, it was. It had everything you'd

26
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:39,000
Speaker 2: want in a television production.

27
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:42,199
Speaker 1: It was a reality show, it was a game show.

28
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 1: There were reveals, there were surprises, reunions, awards.

29
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:51,680
Speaker 3: This was a TV show the likes we've never seen.

30
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:53,640
Speaker 1: When we say this was the best day of the

31
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:55,840
Speaker 1: I'm saying this, I don't know how you feel about it.

32
00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 1: This was the best I've ever seen. Not having to

33
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 1: do anything with that. This is not where we're going

34
00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:03,440
Speaker 1: to get into the politics and the back and forth.

35
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:05,640
Speaker 1: Everybody's got that fact checks. He was lying about this

36
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 1: a lot of stuff we've heard before. Anyway, robes, there

37
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:12,360
Speaker 1: was a production value, and we were watching a showman

38
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:12,840
Speaker 1: last time.

39
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:17,200
Speaker 2: Yes, and that is what made it so fun to watch.

40
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 4: It wasn't just listening to what he had to say,

41
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 4: or yes, what he was touting as his accomplishments.

42
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:23,960
Speaker 2: For the year.

43
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:28,680
Speaker 4: No, it was all of the stories that he created

44
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:32,520
Speaker 4: and his team created throughout the night, interspersed in his

45
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:34,919
Speaker 4: speech that kept you watching.

46
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:37,080
Speaker 1: Okay, so let's be clear, a lot of people who

47
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 1: are just anti Trump are going to look at this

48
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 1: and those statements are going to be out there. It

49
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:44,240
Speaker 1: was meant to be a distraction. He didn't have a

50
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 1: real record to talk about. So he filled it with

51
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 1: all these little moments and filled it with all these

52
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 1: Americans and highlighting exceptionalism for the United States. And this

53
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:55,079
Speaker 1: was all just done as a show. This wasn't a speech.

54
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:56,760
Speaker 1: He did not tell us the state of the Union.

55
00:02:56,919 --> 00:03:02,400
Speaker 1: We get that criticism understood. This is not politics. We're

56
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:05,920
Speaker 1: talking about Rose and I. We are simply talking about

57
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:11,320
Speaker 1: the effectiveness of moments. He had robes that were genuine

58
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:14,640
Speaker 1: with genuine people. They did not feel, at least to

59
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 1: me necessarily, so you know what, they were authentic moments.

60
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:23,520
Speaker 1: And if you couldn't feel a hundred year old guy

61
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:26,200
Speaker 1: finally getting a medal of honor, if you couldn't feel

62
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 1: a reunion between a woman and a family member who

63
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:32,360
Speaker 1: had been in jail, if you can't feel good seeing

64
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 1: the US hockey team up there, forget politics, forget what

65
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 1: you feel about Trump. Those were very cool moments in

66
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 1: which we all related to and were proud of the

67
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:45,480
Speaker 1: people that were being recognized.

68
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 3: And that's just truth.

69
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:51,440
Speaker 4: Yes, you summed it up perfectly. That is exactly why

70
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 4: we watched. You know, we were hoping for a show,

71
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:58,840
Speaker 4: and it exceeded all expectations. I have to say, I.

72
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 1: Was worried it was going to be nastier than it

73
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 1: got between some of the hecklers.

74
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 2: You pointed this out last night.

75
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:07,760
Speaker 4: Even as we were watching, and even as he was

76
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 4: calling out democrats, he was he was doing it lightheartedly,

77
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:16,479
Speaker 4: if that makes any sense. Whereas when you read his

78
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 4: true social posts and a lot of the vitriolge we

79
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:23,279
Speaker 4: hear and read from him seems very mean spirited and

80
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 4: heavy handed. This was all very light and almost fun

81
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 4: and funny. Dare I say, like even when he was

82
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:33,040
Speaker 4: saying things that were anti democrats and calling them out

83
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:35,800
Speaker 4: for not standing up, you were kind of laughing, like

84
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:39,719
Speaker 4: it wasn't It didn't feel mean at all.

85
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:41,280
Speaker 3: That's true. He was performing.

86
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 1: He was a showman last night, and we said at

87
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:45,520
Speaker 1: the very big he's he's on tonight.

88
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:47,240
Speaker 2: He was well rusted.

89
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:51,159
Speaker 3: Yes, it felt like he had a bounce in his step.

90
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 1: And to your point, again, I don't that it was

91
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:55,039
Speaker 1: a couple of mean moments people can point out in

92
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:58,240
Speaker 1: some of the context of the speech, but he was

93
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 1: on now. I said to you at one point, Wow,

94
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:03,679
Speaker 1: he's been on for an hour, and it doesn't feel

95
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:05,480
Speaker 1: that way. But it ended up being almost a two

96
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 1: hour speech. That's a long speech.

97
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:10,960
Speaker 4: An hour and forty nine minutes. Yes, as you pointed out,

98
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:13,800
Speaker 4: the longest State of the Union speech in history, and

99
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:16,680
Speaker 4: the previous record was an hour and forty minutes sent

100
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:18,920
Speaker 4: by set by Trump himself last year.

101
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:20,440
Speaker 1: And he set us up with this. He told us

102
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:22,279
Speaker 1: ahead of time, it's gonna be a long speech. I

103
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 1: have a lot to talk about. And it was all

104
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:27,360
Speaker 1: he you know what, he didn't talk as much as

105
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:28,480
Speaker 1: he awarded.

106
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:30,440
Speaker 3: He was a host last.

107
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:33,600
Speaker 1: Night, directing things in that spot. Let's start though, with

108
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:37,600
Speaker 1: the entrance. This is always fun funny and sometimes you

109
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 1: could say ridiculous to see these congressmen and women falling

110
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:46,600
Speaker 1: over themselves, clamoring, trying to get a handshake or a

111
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 1: picture or a selfie or whatever with the president robes

112
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:49,040
Speaker 1: they were.

113
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:51,520
Speaker 3: It's I don't know, it's tradition.

114
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 4: It turns it turns adults into little screaming teenage girls

115
00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:58,560
Speaker 4: finding a member of the Beatles.

116
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:00,040
Speaker 2: Like that's what it looked.

117
00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:03,279
Speaker 4: Like actually in moments, running trying to get selfies with

118
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:04,320
Speaker 4: the president.

119
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:06,760
Speaker 2: Completely as you you would.

120
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 4: Be bortified having a camera trained on you while you're

121
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 4: running after the president trying to get a selfie with him.

122
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:14,600
Speaker 2: But yes, we saw grownadult's doing.

123
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:16,599
Speaker 3: That, so we see it every time. I don't know why.

124
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:17,400
Speaker 3: It's tradition.

125
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:20,000
Speaker 1: It's kind of funny, it's kind of silly, but they do.

126
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:21,240
Speaker 1: And who was the guy, I don't even know who

127
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:23,120
Speaker 1: he was, the one that had the Trump tie on.

128
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:25,240
Speaker 2: That was hilarious. I don't know who it.

129
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:27,120
Speaker 1: Was last night, but yeah, the guy's trying to make

130
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 1: his way to give a big speech. One guy tried

131
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:31,680
Speaker 1: to do a selfie and didn't you know, we've all

132
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:32,040
Speaker 1: been there.

133
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:33,240
Speaker 2: He couldn't get his right.

134
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:35,720
Speaker 3: Yes, like you're holding up the president.

135
00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:37,279
Speaker 2: Dude, and everyone's watching you.

136
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:39,480
Speaker 1: Okay, And everybody was watching the moment. What did you

137
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:42,360
Speaker 1: think of it? Robes anticipating what is he going to do?

138
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:44,799
Speaker 1: Is he going to walk past members of the Supreme

139
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:47,840
Speaker 1: Court that he just ripped in the past several days

140
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:51,159
Speaker 1: for their decision. I thought he held it better than expected.

141
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:53,160
Speaker 2: I thought it was better than expected, is a good

142
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:55,080
Speaker 2: way to put it. I was worried that he was

143
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:55,359
Speaker 2: going to.

144
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 4: Be petty, and he greeted them all as he walked by.

145
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:02,440
Speaker 4: He he gave him a little verbal lashing when he

146
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:06,120
Speaker 4: got up eventually to give his speech, but almost in.

147
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:07,599
Speaker 2: Again a funny way.

148
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 4: He was obviously and is clearly upset about the Supreme

149
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:16,040
Speaker 4: Court's decision on his tariffs, and he did call out folks,

150
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:18,800
Speaker 4: but again it didn't feel mean.

151
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:22,680
Speaker 1: But after the anger we saw immediately after their decision,

152
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:26,680
Speaker 1: he went after several of them in a very nasty way.

153
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:29,280
Speaker 1: He had the opportunity to do so. Last night people

154
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:31,800
Speaker 1: were wondering will he with them sitting feet from him,

155
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:34,040
Speaker 1: is he going to be able to keep from going

156
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 1: off on him?

157
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 3: And Rosey kind of did.

158
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:39,800
Speaker 1: He just acknowledged a disappointing decision, a terrible does it whatever,

159
00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:40,480
Speaker 1: and moved on.

160
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 3: He didn't single anybody out.

161
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 4: The only thing that was awkward about it was the

162
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:49,800
Speaker 4: camera choices that Network's made. They were actually like close

163
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:53,360
Speaker 4: up of the different faces of the Supreme Court justices

164
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:57,400
Speaker 4: as he was saying things, and their face stoically vacant,

165
00:07:57,520 --> 00:07:59,800
Speaker 4: you know, trying not to have any expression or emotion

166
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:01,520
Speaker 4: as he's eviscerating them.

167
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:03,160
Speaker 2: That was awkward for me who.

168
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:05,240
Speaker 1: Had the They did a good job of not having

169
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 1: an expression, But there's one I'm thinking about, which one?

170
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:09,440
Speaker 3: Did you notice one that did.

171
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:14,160
Speaker 1: No Elena Kagan to me, Oh really, Amy Cony Barrett.

172
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:16,800
Speaker 3: I give her credit. She was stoic, she knew that

173
00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:18,960
Speaker 3: was the moment. Yes, and let me keep it cool.

174
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:22,160
Speaker 1: It was like the Award Show when they have five

175
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:25,360
Speaker 1: nominees for Best Actor and you know you have to

176
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:27,680
Speaker 1: be cool. When the reaction comes, it's not you. It's

177
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:30,200
Speaker 1: like she knows the camera's on her and she did not.

178
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:31,040
Speaker 1: She gave us nothing.

179
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:32,600
Speaker 2: You said she did a great job.

180
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:35,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, she gave us nothing, just a complete vacant like

181
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:38,000
Speaker 4: you will not be able to read my emotion right now.

182
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:39,679
Speaker 2: You cannot tell what I'm thinking.

183
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:41,720
Speaker 3: Moment of the night. It had to be the hockey team.

184
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:43,360
Speaker 3: Would it be for you the moment of the night?

185
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:46,320
Speaker 4: I well, there were several, but it was in my

186
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:47,520
Speaker 4: top three for sure.

187
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:49,600
Speaker 3: This was a nice moment.

188
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:52,960
Speaker 1: And look, the US men's hockey team the heroes for

189
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:54,960
Speaker 1: the rest of their lives for what they pulled off

190
00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:58,280
Speaker 1: and the way he had them enter. We got word

191
00:08:58,280 --> 00:08:59,760
Speaker 1: ahead of time that the hockey team was going to

192
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:01,480
Speaker 1: a I didn't know if they were going to sit

193
00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 1: there the whole time, which I thought would be really,

194
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:06,199
Speaker 1: they're gonna sit through that whole thing? No, he had

195
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:10,800
Speaker 1: them walk in stand a presentation gold medals, Robes.

196
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:13,719
Speaker 3: I thought it was great. They had the great sweaters on.

197
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:18,200
Speaker 3: It was a great moment. I don't know how to okay,

198
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:21,320
Speaker 3: he used them as paw. People will criticize what he did.

199
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:24,640
Speaker 1: But for that team to get that honor, that recognition

200
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:26,800
Speaker 1: on that night, I have no problem.

201
00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:28,880
Speaker 4: I thought it was really cool and I love that

202
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:31,960
Speaker 4: he gave the Presidential Medal of Freedom to the goalie.

203
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:36,760
Speaker 4: We all watched that incredible save that absolutely gave tm

204
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:39,960
Speaker 4: USA the victory, and he specifically mentioned watching that save

205
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:44,319
Speaker 4: and giving him that high honor, the highest honor.

206
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:47,400
Speaker 3: And trope Rose. We almost told you Trump, Robes. We uh.

207
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:49,719
Speaker 1: We looked at each other when it happened and he

208
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:52,720
Speaker 1: talked about the president the highest civilian honor to a goalie.

209
00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:55,400
Speaker 3: We both looked at you. O that damn okay with that.

210
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:57,080
Speaker 2: Yep, it was a cool moment.

211
00:09:57,160 --> 00:09:59,720
Speaker 1: He was special then the Olympics and he is absolutely

212
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:02,240
Speaker 1: a American hero now at the very top. It didn't

213
00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:04,480
Speaker 1: last long. How long did a representative Green last in

214
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:05,360
Speaker 1: the room? Five minutes?

215
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:08,760
Speaker 4: If that you kept saying, when's he going to get

216
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:10,440
Speaker 4: taken out? When's he going to get taken out with

217
00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:11,000
Speaker 4: his sign.

218
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:13,960
Speaker 1: Yes, Representative Al Green who got kicked out last year,

219
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:15,360
Speaker 1: he got censured last year, did he not?

220
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:15,760
Speaker 2: He did?

221
00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:19,080
Speaker 1: He had he said last year was spontaneous. He had

222
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:21,400
Speaker 1: a cane and got up, started yelling as the president

223
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:25,240
Speaker 1: that kicked him out. This time, this was a planned demonstration,

224
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:26,800
Speaker 1: for sure. He came in with signs.

225
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:29,040
Speaker 4: He came in with a sign that says black people

226
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:32,760
Speaker 4: are not apes, referring to, of course, President Trump reposting

227
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:37,439
Speaker 4: that video that at the end showed the Obamas as

228
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:41,160
Speaker 4: apes with Lion King playing in the background. So yes,

229
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:45,400
Speaker 4: he you can't make that up. Trump did not apologize

230
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:47,800
Speaker 4: for it, did take it down, but yes, Al Green

231
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:49,160
Speaker 4: making his point with his sign.

232
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:50,520
Speaker 1: You know I was supposed to have a sign. You know,

233
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 1: I was supposed to have a pro so he was

234
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:54,360
Speaker 1: not following the korum if you will. He got escorted

235
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:58,679
Speaker 1: out once again. The only ugly I don't know whereas

236
00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:02,240
Speaker 1: if we call it an ugly moment. But he did

237
00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:03,959
Speaker 1: make mention in the speech. We got a heads up

238
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:07,640
Speaker 1: that this was one of the nastier or divisive moments

239
00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:10,439
Speaker 1: of boy, he's calling out what the what's happened to

240
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:14,240
Speaker 1: fraud in Minnesota and specifically calling out the Somali community,

241
00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:18,959
Speaker 1: and you could expect ilhan Omar, who represents that state.

242
00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:21,199
Speaker 1: She started yelling.

243
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:23,840
Speaker 4: She started yelling, liar, you should be ashamed. She said,

244
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:28,080
Speaker 4: you're a murderer. You've killed Americans. Yes, and she was

245
00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:30,120
Speaker 4: screaming at him while he was talking.

246
00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:31,880
Speaker 3: That was an ugly moment.

247
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 1: I don't know how Democrats supposed to handle last night.

248
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:36,760
Speaker 1: What do you do with this guy? Oh? Yeah, we

249
00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:39,360
Speaker 1: didn't even mention. The count is somewhere between fifty and

250
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:43,120
Speaker 1: seventy Democrats boycotted. They didn't even show up to the

251
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:45,160
Speaker 1: State of the Union. They have their reasons, they have

252
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:47,560
Speaker 1: their feelings they have I mean, maybe they think they're

253
00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:50,840
Speaker 1: doing the right thing. I don't know, you show up.

254
00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:52,600
Speaker 1: I wish they would show up, but they have their

255
00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:53,520
Speaker 1: own way of doing things.

256
00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:55,720
Speaker 2: Look, I appreciated the folks who did show up.

257
00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:57,400
Speaker 4: You did see a lot of empty seats on the

258
00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:00,319
Speaker 4: Democrats side, and of course you saw Trump point out

259
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:02,040
Speaker 4: every time Democrats.

260
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:02,240
Speaker 2: Didn't stand up.

261
00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:06,320
Speaker 4: This is very typical, but he did it often and

262
00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:10,400
Speaker 4: in certain points where he was baffled or seemingly baffled

263
00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:14,000
Speaker 4: Why wouldn't you stand up for that, for that person,

264
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:14,600
Speaker 4: for that honor.

265
00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:16,040
Speaker 2: It has nothing to do with politics.

266
00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:18,200
Speaker 4: So yes, if you did choose to come, and you

267
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:20,560
Speaker 4: were a Democrat, you were faced with that decision when

268
00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:21,319
Speaker 4: do I stand up?

269
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:23,680
Speaker 2: When do I not stand up? That is that is tough.

270
00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:26,160
Speaker 1: Sometimes they didn't seem like they had a meeting about

271
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:26,800
Speaker 1: it ahead of time.

272
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:27,800
Speaker 2: No, because it was.

273
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:31,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was varied, because there were times and broke.

274
00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:33,840
Speaker 1: I think he called it out. There were moments that

275
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:36,840
Speaker 1: everybody in the country we all agree with, but it's

276
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:40,360
Speaker 1: coming from him, so we can't applaud it. That is

277
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:42,480
Speaker 1: what it felt like in the room, like, well, oh

278
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:44,560
Speaker 1: my god, I can't remember her his name? The parents,

279
00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:47,120
Speaker 1: So the young lady killed on the train, the murdered.

280
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:48,960
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, yes, I remember her name.

281
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:52,840
Speaker 1: But YEH pointed out the parents. The mom has tears

282
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:56,560
Speaker 1: running down her eyes. A lot of Democrats sat on

283
00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:56,960
Speaker 1: their hands.

284
00:12:57,120 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's tough. I don't know why that made they

285
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:00,880
Speaker 2: made that decision.

286
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:04,480
Speaker 1: It's I don't He even said some of them didn't

287
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:06,320
Speaker 1: stand up for I think it's right.

288
00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:06,920
Speaker 3: The hockey team.

289
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:09,320
Speaker 4: No, he absolutely said that. Yes, he said, how do

290
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:11,280
Speaker 4: you not have some of you stood up, but not

291
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:13,240
Speaker 4: all of you did. How do you not stand up

292
00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:14,480
Speaker 4: for the US hockey team?

293
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:16,600
Speaker 1: Yes, and he kind of set them up. And the

294
00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:19,400
Speaker 1: biggest trap he set robes. I don't know if this

295
00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:22,679
Speaker 1: is good politics, good theater, if it was petty, if

296
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:26,440
Speaker 1: it was unfair, even but what do you do? He

297
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:31,880
Speaker 1: asked Democrats a question that, oh, yes, The answer should

298
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:33,160
Speaker 1: have been yes, right.

299
00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:37,360
Speaker 2: Yes, right, it was Robes.

300
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:40,120
Speaker 1: It was a trap. He did set them up, and

301
00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:45,200
Speaker 1: it looked bad. But I don't know how it's being

302
00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:49,200
Speaker 1: viewed today. But he's asking them the question, Robes, stand

303
00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:52,160
Speaker 1: if you believe the first duty of the US government

304
00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:56,040
Speaker 1: is to protect American citizens, not illegal aliens.

305
00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:59,200
Speaker 3: It was a trap. It was an absolute trap.

306
00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:02,520
Speaker 1: Half the room stood up, applauded soundly, and you see

307
00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:06,640
Speaker 1: the other side of the room when asked, is your

308
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:12,040
Speaker 1: job to protect American citizens over illegal aliens? And they

309
00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:13,439
Speaker 1: didn't respond to that.

310
00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:15,520
Speaker 3: It was a trap. It was a set up. Maybe

311
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:18,920
Speaker 3: it was unfair, but to a lay person it looked bad.

312
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:21,400
Speaker 2: Maybe it did look bad.

313
00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:24,600
Speaker 4: But I understand their dilemma because they're in their heads.

314
00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:27,000
Speaker 4: I'm sure they're thinking, you know, what, my job is

315
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:30,240
Speaker 4: to protect all humans who are in this country, and

316
00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:35,040
Speaker 4: so you know, not separating people based on their immigration status.

317
00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:37,320
Speaker 4: That's what I'm thinking was in their heads. And by

318
00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:40,560
Speaker 4: standing up, you're valuing one life over another.

319
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:41,320
Speaker 2: I don't know.

320
00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:42,960
Speaker 4: I think it's a tough call for them, and that

321
00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:46,320
Speaker 4: might be why many Democrats chose to boycott, because they

322
00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:48,400
Speaker 4: were anticipating getting set up and putting.

323
00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:51,000
Speaker 1: A spot that would actually make sense. How do you

324
00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:54,840
Speaker 1: handle that, though, Robes? I mean, what is should we

325
00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:56,920
Speaker 1: be asking that question? You know, it was worded in

326
00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:59,920
Speaker 1: such a way, it was carefully done. It made it impossible.

327
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:03,760
Speaker 4: It was impossible because, yes, if you were somebody who

328
00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:09,000
Speaker 4: has stood up to protect the lives of folks who

329
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:12,520
Speaker 4: are here who are undocumented, how do you stand up

330
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:18,720
Speaker 4: and value legally like legal status over illegal status.

331
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:19,520
Speaker 2: That's tough.

332
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:22,360
Speaker 1: And then the question other plenty of folks his supporters

333
00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:26,400
Speaker 1: will look, how can you tell me that it's you're

334
00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:28,560
Speaker 1: looking out for me and as an American citizen, just

335
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:30,520
Speaker 1: as much as you're looking out someone who crossed the

336
00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:34,720
Speaker 1: border illegally that works in his base, that worked in

337
00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:37,840
Speaker 1: certain parts of the country, And that was a I

338
00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:40,640
Speaker 1: give them credit for the setup, but it was a setup.

339
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:43,880
Speaker 1: It was an absolute setup. The other parts, there were

340
00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:46,920
Speaker 1: two Metal of Honors, meals of honor given out last

341
00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:48,400
Speaker 1: night pros.

342
00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:49,680
Speaker 3: These were highlight moments.

343
00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:52,240
Speaker 4: They were because you asked if my the top moment

344
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:55,600
Speaker 4: was the US men's hockey team, and that was among them.

345
00:15:55,640 --> 00:16:01,920
Speaker 2: But seeing these men in very two different parts of

346
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:04,200
Speaker 2: their life or fronts of their military service, one who

347
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:06,280
Speaker 2: was one hundred years old correct.

348
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:11,240
Speaker 4: And then we had the helicopter pilot who was injured in.

349
00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:14,080
Speaker 2: The Venezuela raid. That was phenomenal.

350
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:18,240
Speaker 4: I didn't even realize that someone was so injured and

351
00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:22,640
Speaker 4: someone so pivotal to the mission in getting Maduro. But

352
00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:26,200
Speaker 4: the fact that he was described as piloting this this

353
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:31,160
Speaker 4: helicopter with bullet wounds in his his legs where his

354
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:34,640
Speaker 4: bones were fractured and he was in incredible pain having

355
00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:37,120
Speaker 4: to pilot the helicopter using his legs.

356
00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:39,760
Speaker 2: It was remarkable. They hear this.

357
00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:42,400
Speaker 1: Story and then to see the guy come in using

358
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:44,680
Speaker 1: a walker and his wife with him.

359
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:46,960
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, Amy and Eric, I mean.

360
00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:49,479
Speaker 2: Eric, that's my brother's name is Eric. So it was disturbing.

361
00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:50,240
Speaker 4: Eric.

362
00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:52,000
Speaker 2: I don't think he listens to the podcast.

363
00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:55,040
Speaker 4: But they kept saying Amy and Eric Amy and Eric

364
00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:56,640
Speaker 4: I'm like, oh my god, are Eric and amiens? But

365
00:16:56,680 --> 00:16:59,320
Speaker 4: that's like my mom and dad telling us to come

366
00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:00,360
Speaker 4: to dinner weird.

367
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:02,520
Speaker 1: So that was the only part that got weird for Robot.

368
00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:07,520
Speaker 1: Her daddy Trump kept calling Eric Amy. But it was

369
00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:09,640
Speaker 1: cool to see him standing there and the big guy,

370
00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:13,720
Speaker 1: tough guy, this military uniform. I don't know if he

371
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:15,879
Speaker 1: knew the honor was coming, but as they were putting

372
00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:17,520
Speaker 1: it on him, you said, he is trying to keep

373
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:17,880
Speaker 1: it together.

374
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:19,560
Speaker 4: Oh, he had tears in his eyes. I don't think

375
00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:21,280
Speaker 4: he saw that coming. He did not know he was

376
00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:23,000
Speaker 4: getting the Medal of Honor. It was awesome.

377
00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:25,280
Speaker 1: And then the one hundred year old guy, Eve Royce Williams,

378
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:26,960
Speaker 1: World War two vet, they honored him. He was sitting

379
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:29,240
Speaker 1: next to Belaonnia Trump last night and they I think

380
00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:31,120
Speaker 1: he mentioned him earlier in the night and then came

381
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:33,000
Speaker 1: back to him to give him the Medal of Honor.

382
00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:35,680
Speaker 1: They put it around his neck and that's just a sweet, wonderful,

383
00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:40,320
Speaker 1: adorable moment that you you cannot help but feel that moment.

384
00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:42,960
Speaker 1: The other one Robes that had people in tears, or

385
00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:48,200
Speaker 1: Alexandra Gonzalez, this is a young lady whose uncle ran

386
00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:50,480
Speaker 1: for office in Venezuela but was locked up by the

387
00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:54,800
Speaker 1: mad Maduro camp. This young lady apparently didn't know the

388
00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:58,840
Speaker 1: fate of her uncle. Trump is telling this story, announcing everything,

389
00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:03,560
Speaker 1: and es said that jail, we've closed it down, and

390
00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:07,919
Speaker 1: those political prisoners have been freed. But then he went further.

391
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:10,440
Speaker 1: I didn't see the next couple of things coming, No.

392
00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:13,199
Speaker 4: He said, Alejandra, I am pleased to inform you that

393
00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:16,760
Speaker 4: not only has your uncle been released, but he's here tonight.

394
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:19,040
Speaker 4: We brought him over to celebrate his freedom with you

395
00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:21,040
Speaker 4: in person. And then you see the two of them

396
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:23,040
Speaker 4: see each other. I don't know how long it had

397
00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:29,520
Speaker 4: been hugging on live national television. Again, an incredible reality

398
00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:32,680
Speaker 4: TV show moment, brought to you by President Trump.

399
00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:36,040
Speaker 3: It was great TV production. Ropes.

400
00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:38,880
Speaker 1: We have worked in television for a long time. How

401
00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:41,600
Speaker 1: many surprises and things we pull off on morning shows

402
00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:43,040
Speaker 1: before we know a good one.

403
00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:44,360
Speaker 3: When we see one.

404
00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:46,480
Speaker 1: It was a good one. Well, folks, stay here. We

405
00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:50,400
Speaker 1: told you a lot of Democrats left or boycotted. Well,

406
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:53,399
Speaker 1: we will tell you one of the best answers we

407
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:58,359
Speaker 1: heard for why one Democrat decided to show up. Also

408
00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:03,160
Speaker 1: a couple of other darl moments, including one little girl

409
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:06,240
Speaker 1: who's gonna have a law named after her, and another

410
00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:10,360
Speaker 1: reunion between a rescuer and the little girl he rescued.

411
00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:22,440
Speaker 1: All right, continue here on, Amy and TJ. We'll get

412
00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:24,320
Speaker 1: through these last few things here. There was so much

413
00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:26,560
Speaker 1: last night. I'm trying to remember Robes, all the stuff

414
00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:28,240
Speaker 1: we got to get to do. You need to mention

415
00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:32,640
Speaker 1: he did have the parents of the guards, the Sarah

416
00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:34,879
Speaker 1: Bestrom twenty years old killed in November. She was the

417
00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:37,040
Speaker 1: young lady part of the West Virginia National Guard who

418
00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:40,160
Speaker 1: was there on patrol in Washington, DC, had her parents

419
00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:43,480
Speaker 1: their nice touch, nice moment. The other guy who was

420
00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:46,080
Speaker 1: shot shot in the head told his story. He was

421
00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:49,320
Speaker 1: there as well and looked good and gave him a.

422
00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:52,359
Speaker 2: They both got purple hearts. Purple hearts.

423
00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:52,960
Speaker 3: Yeah.

424
00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:55,480
Speaker 2: I almost started crying watching that.

425
00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:58,199
Speaker 4: And then to give it to Sarah Beckstrom's parents as

426
00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:02,280
Speaker 4: well posthumously that just her father you said, his lip

427
00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:06,440
Speaker 4: was quivering. You could not help but feel their pain,

428
00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:10,480
Speaker 4: but also just the gratitude you were feeling towards these

429
00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:13,640
Speaker 4: parents for the service of their daughter. It was it was,

430
00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:16,879
Speaker 4: it was a real tear jerker moment.

431
00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:19,520
Speaker 1: All of these moments and again rolled I think he's

432
00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:22,679
Speaker 1: done things before in speeches where he recognized somebody that

433
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:26,239
Speaker 1: is partisan, right, that's somebody that's with the left or

434
00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:29,560
Speaker 1: excuse me, with the right. But last night these none

435
00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:32,400
Speaker 1: of these seemed like partisan guests, right.

436
00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:35,200
Speaker 3: This look. He put on a good show last night.

437
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:36,640
Speaker 3: The other moment Rose was wonderful.

438
00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:40,239
Speaker 1: Scott Ruskin, Coastguards swimmer who was a part of the

439
00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:42,960
Speaker 1: rescue teams that were down in the historic Texas flooding,

440
00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:45,879
Speaker 1: one hundred and sixty five rescues he performed. One of

441
00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:48,080
Speaker 1: them was of a little girl saw again for the

442
00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:50,399
Speaker 1: last first time last night they were reunited at the

443
00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:51,560
Speaker 1: Stale Union for the chills.

444
00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:54,640
Speaker 4: That's amazing, total chills, yes, and the two of them

445
00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:59,920
Speaker 4: together standing up smiling. It was it was again another moment,

446
00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:03,320
Speaker 4: like there were so many moments that you would wait for,

447
00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:05,920
Speaker 4: like it was kind of like an Oprah or I'm

448
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:08,800
Speaker 4: just thinking like what would be the equivalent in daytime

449
00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:11,040
Speaker 4: where you saw all of these beautiful reunions and it

450
00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:11,879
Speaker 4: was all heartwarming.

451
00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:13,880
Speaker 2: It wasn't Who's the Daddy.

452
00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:18,240
Speaker 4: It was, you know, just all emotional with just this

453
00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:22,239
Speaker 4: like it was a feeling of joy and purpose, and

454
00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:24,160
Speaker 4: it was like the best of America.

455
00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:27,520
Speaker 2: He was highlighting the best of America, and it was a.

456
00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:30,520
Speaker 1: Diverse group of Americans to a certain degree, including little

457
00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:34,520
Speaker 1: Delilah Law. Yeah, let's do you one better. This adorable

458
00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:36,840
Speaker 1: little girl. Now I didn't know her story when I

459
00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:39,080
Speaker 1: saw her. Oh she's sweet. What's her story?

460
00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:40,440
Speaker 3: Well, her story.

461
00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:42,600
Speaker 1: Is she was not expected to be doing well or

462
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:44,800
Speaker 1: even to survive after she was in a car accident.

463
00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:48,680
Speaker 1: She was hit by someone who was in the country illegally.

464
00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:51,320
Speaker 1: That's the point he was making. And now they're gonna

465
00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:54,840
Speaker 1: name a law after this little girl. Dahlailah Coleman is

466
00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:56,639
Speaker 1: her name, but she's getting a law named after her.

467
00:21:56,680 --> 00:21:59,480
Speaker 1: And to see her bouncing on her dad's leg last night,

468
00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:01,080
Speaker 1: another great TV moment.

469
00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:04,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, her smile was so sweet you could see. I mean,

470
00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:07,080
Speaker 4: just the struggle. He talked about, all the surgeries and

471
00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:10,680
Speaker 4: all the struggles and how she wasn't expected to live.

472
00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:16,400
Speaker 4: But yes, now this law, undocumented folks cannot get commercial

473
00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:19,479
Speaker 4: driver's licenses. But before I didn't realize they could if

474
00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:21,919
Speaker 4: you were in this country illegally. I had no idea,

475
00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:24,320
Speaker 4: you could go to the DMV. I can't even get

476
00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:26,960
Speaker 4: my real idea if I don't have my Social Security card,

477
00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:30,680
Speaker 4: so I'm confused how that was even possible. But no

478
00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:35,040
Speaker 4: longer can those folks who came here illegally get commercial

479
00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:36,080
Speaker 4: driver's licenses.

480
00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:38,240
Speaker 2: Kind of seems like.

481
00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:43,640
Speaker 1: That was already Yeah, all right, other few other things here.

482
00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:47,800
Speaker 1: Abigail Spamberger did the Democratic response. She had an audience

483
00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:49,480
Speaker 1: in there with her, which I said, was probably a

484
00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:51,720
Speaker 1: good move to make sure there's you break it up

485
00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:53,960
Speaker 1: with applause. At least the audience at home knows that

486
00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:56,919
Speaker 1: what was supposed to be a hard hitting line.

487
00:22:57,119 --> 00:22:59,120
Speaker 3: I can't remember another one that had a crowd.

488
00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:00,600
Speaker 2: But yeah, it was. It was, you know what it

489
00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:01,359
Speaker 2: made it.

490
00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:04,120
Speaker 4: It was still a little awkward how they abruptly stopped clapping,

491
00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:07,240
Speaker 4: like at very orchestrated moments, So that was kind of

492
00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:09,920
Speaker 4: funny and weird. However, it was a lot less weird

493
00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:13,240
Speaker 4: than seeing somebody at their kitchen table, or Marco Rubio

494
00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:15,400
Speaker 4: guzzling water because he didn't.

495
00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:18,600
Speaker 3: Get into the law zips. It's just a guzzle.

496
00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:24,720
Speaker 4: Do you think about sometimes the infamous rebuttals, This one

497
00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:25,560
Speaker 4: was not. It was.

498
00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:27,080
Speaker 2: It was fairly well done.

499
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:29,719
Speaker 1: How'd you like the Nancy Pelosi joke? I actually smiled

500
00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:32,359
Speaker 1: a little bit, yes, because again it wasn't mean he

501
00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:35,600
Speaker 1: was smirking. Again, if you're listening, and if you don't

502
00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:37,720
Speaker 1: like Trump, you didn't like anything he did last night,

503
00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:39,639
Speaker 1: If you could just look at it objectively for a moment,

504
00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:42,679
Speaker 1: this was not one of his worst or meanest moments.

505
00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:46,399
Speaker 2: No, it wasn't. He joked about Nancy Pelosi saying they

506
00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:48,560
Speaker 2: stood up. I can't believe it. When did he was saying?

507
00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:49,760
Speaker 2: When was he saying they stood up?

508
00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:51,480
Speaker 1: He was talking about the law they want them to

509
00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:54,400
Speaker 1: pass in which there's no insider trading or whatever. Oh, yes,

510
00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:56,960
Speaker 1: they can't benefit lawmakers can't benefit from.

511
00:23:56,720 --> 00:23:59,080
Speaker 2: Correct, So he points to the Democrats. They stood up.

512
00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:01,760
Speaker 2: I can't believe it. Did Nancy Pelosi stand up? If

513
00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:02,680
Speaker 2: she's even here.

514
00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:07,120
Speaker 1: And she was, she was there, I swear I think

515
00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:10,240
Speaker 1: was it the biggest applause line he got We ended

516
00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:12,840
Speaker 1: DEI in America. It was a very big applause line.

517
00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:15,160
Speaker 1: He had a lot of energy when he delivered that line.

518
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:18,119
Speaker 1: We do want to mention Epstein's survivors were guests didn't

519
00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:20,320
Speaker 1: see them. Actually during a lot of the coverage or

520
00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:24,080
Speaker 1: anything pointed out or talked about last night, Mark Kelly,

521
00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:25,399
Speaker 1: they showed him several times.

522
00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:27,080
Speaker 3: It's with some looks on his face.

523
00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:29,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, I thought that was kind of mean spirited by

524
00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:32,320
Speaker 4: the cameras. They were in a super close up of

525
00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:36,840
Speaker 4: his face. And obviously he has been absolutely the target

526
00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:40,240
Speaker 4: of President Trump, and certainly Pete Hegseth, who was there.

527
00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:43,000
Speaker 4: They kept showing, by the way, just this you just

528
00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:47,600
Speaker 4: you see these characters in the Trump administration obviously depicted everywhere,

529
00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:50,280
Speaker 4: and there they were all sitting together, Pam Bondi, Pete

530
00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:55,800
Speaker 4: hegg Seth, Christine Nome, they were all there together.

531
00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:57,359
Speaker 2: They kept showing that picture.

532
00:24:57,400 --> 00:24:59,119
Speaker 4: But yes, they kept going into a close up of

533
00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:03,200
Speaker 4: Mark Kelly and just obviously he had a look of disdain.

534
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:05,040
Speaker 2: Maybe on his face for most of the evening and

535
00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:06,439
Speaker 2: they just kept zooming in on it.

536
00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:08,359
Speaker 1: We do want to mention the mom Donnie moment. He

537
00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:11,920
Speaker 1: did mention the mayor of New York complimented him and say, hey,

538
00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:13,800
Speaker 1: he's a nice guy, but then talk about how bad

539
00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:15,600
Speaker 1: of a job he's doing. He used them and again

540
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:20,120
Speaker 1: this was funny to me. Where he's making a point

541
00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:22,040
Speaker 1: about you all don't want voter ID. And there have

542
00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:24,360
Speaker 1: plenty of problems with the voter ID law that they're

543
00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:24,960
Speaker 1: trying to pass.

544
00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:25,640
Speaker 3: We get that.

545
00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:27,760
Speaker 1: The point here is he said, how are you all

546
00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:32,440
Speaker 1: going to be against someone showing ID to vote when

547
00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:35,720
Speaker 1: you're requiring two photos, two forms of ID, and a

548
00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:38,880
Speaker 1: Social Security card for shovelers in New York?

549
00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:39,920
Speaker 3: Which is true.

550
00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:43,479
Speaker 4: Yes, And he made a point, and it was funny.

551
00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:47,520
Speaker 4: It wasn't necessarily mean spirited. It was based in fact,

552
00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:48,480
Speaker 4: and it was funny.

553
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:51,240
Speaker 3: Listen to us, we almost sound relieved. It wasn't mean.

554
00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:54,120
Speaker 2: Yes, honestly, that's where the bar is right now.

555
00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:57,960
Speaker 4: I mean it's low low, it's like, please, please, please,

556
00:25:58,040 --> 00:26:00,840
Speaker 4: don't be mean spirited. I mean, yes, your jobs and

557
00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:04,280
Speaker 4: have some fun with it, which, honestly, it actually felt

558
00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:06,160
Speaker 4: a little bit more like and I know he hasn't

559
00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:08,760
Speaker 4: actually even attended, but the White House Correspondent Center where

560
00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:11,560
Speaker 4: the President gets up and is a little self deprecating.

561
00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:14,359
Speaker 4: Now that Trump is self deprecating, he was quite the opposite,

562
00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:20,360
Speaker 4: but having a little fun at at typically serious topics

563
00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:23,719
Speaker 4: that have created some pain and frustration. And so anyway,

564
00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:26,919
Speaker 4: it all felt very lighthearted and that was just a

565
00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:28,400
Speaker 4: welcome shift in town.

566
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:29,760
Speaker 3: The last thing here.

567
00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:31,439
Speaker 1: Damned if you do, Damned if you don't, what are

568
00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:34,520
Speaker 1: you supposed to do? Do democrats not show up at

569
00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:37,320
Speaker 1: this thing? Plenty in the majority did? Of course.

570
00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:40,679
Speaker 3: I don't know. To each his or her own, of course,

571
00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:43,920
Speaker 3: I don't know what you do.

572
00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:47,000
Speaker 1: Do you honor the office? Do you respect the office?

573
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:49,200
Speaker 1: Even if you don't respect the man? I don't know

574
00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:53,040
Speaker 1: what the right thing is to each his or her own?

575
00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:54,880
Speaker 3: But I did hear a CNN was.

576
00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:59,200
Speaker 1: Reporting Elizabeth Warren obviously is no fan the President Trump.

577
00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:01,600
Speaker 3: That No, I think that's.

578
00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:03,200
Speaker 2: A fact, right, that's definitely a fact.

579
00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:06,840
Speaker 1: Yes, we have good sources on that. She attended last night.

580
00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:09,320
Speaker 1: And I can't remember which scenem reporter was saying it,

581
00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:11,080
Speaker 1: but said talk to her like, wow, you don't like

582
00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:13,520
Speaker 1: this president. Why did you show up? And this is

583
00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:16,159
Speaker 1: kind of what she said. I'm here to represent the

584
00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:19,680
Speaker 1: people of my state of Massachusetts. And if the president,

585
00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:22,920
Speaker 1: we know he's gonna lie, but he's gonna lie, I'll

586
00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:24,399
Speaker 1: come and make him lie to my face.

587
00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:25,680
Speaker 2: It's a good answer.

588
00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:28,560
Speaker 3: I mean, that's the best you can do. I mean,

589
00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:29,480
Speaker 3: you're there for what.

590
00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:32,320
Speaker 1: I don't know, rogues what you do here, but it

591
00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:34,399
Speaker 1: was a display of where we are last night. This

592
00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:36,879
Speaker 1: was not a State of the Union dress. I'm not

593
00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:38,560
Speaker 1: sure what the state of our union is, but I'm

594
00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:40,000
Speaker 1: sure how I know how the president.

595
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:44,439
Speaker 4: People were hotter than ever before, hot over the hottest country.

596
00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:45,960
Speaker 2: We were dead, but now we're hot.

597
00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:46,720
Speaker 3: We're bad.

598
00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:50,960
Speaker 1: That's what we got out of it. Also, hockey team

599
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:54,320
Speaker 1: is awesome. That's what I got out of it. But folks,

600
00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:56,720
Speaker 1: again we say it, please don't misunderstand. It was the

601
00:27:56,720 --> 00:27:58,560
Speaker 1: best show we have ever seen at a State of

602
00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:02,440
Speaker 1: the Union. Yes, the best show. The speech, I don't

603
00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:04,800
Speaker 1: even remember much of it if you can get that

604
00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:06,920
Speaker 1: other places. But folks, we appreciate you is always spending

605
00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:08,240
Speaker 1: some time with us. I am T. J.

606
00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:11,280
Speaker 3: Holmes on behalf of my dear Amy Robot, who will

607
00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:11,800
Speaker 3: talk to the Also
