<v Speaker 3>I'm sold. I'm sold.

0:00:41.760 --> 0:00:45.199
<v Speaker 1>You just left the Joint Session Center and it was

0:00:45.280 --> 0:00:47.080
<v Speaker 1>one hell of a night. If there's anything you can say,

0:00:47.120 --> 0:00:48.840
<v Speaker 1>Democrats pretty much stood for.

0:00:48.840 --> 0:00:50.440
<v Speaker 3>Nothing like it at all.

0:00:50.840 --> 0:00:53.680
<v Speaker 2>Well, look, this is where doing the podcast is fun.

0:00:53.720 --> 0:00:56.400
<v Speaker 2>It is twelve twenty eight in the morning. I just

0:00:56.520 --> 0:00:59.760
<v Speaker 2>got got home to my DC apartment about five minutes

0:00:59.800 --> 0:01:02.680
<v Speaker 2>ago and just left the State of the Union and

0:01:03.000 --> 0:01:04.480
<v Speaker 2>the State of the Union. I got to say it

0:01:04.520 --> 0:01:07.240
<v Speaker 2>was I think a spectacular State of the Union addressed

0:01:07.560 --> 0:01:09.920
<v Speaker 2>from President Trump. It's the fifth one hees given. I

0:01:09.920 --> 0:01:12.319
<v Speaker 2>think it was triumphant. I think it was positive. I

0:01:12.319 --> 0:01:15.840
<v Speaker 2>think it was forward looking. I think it emphasized exactly

0:01:16.520 --> 0:01:19.480
<v Speaker 2>what you and I predicted in Monday's pod that he

0:01:19.560 --> 0:01:23.440
<v Speaker 2>was going to emphasize. It emphasized promises, made promises, kept

0:01:23.800 --> 0:01:26.959
<v Speaker 2>the victories we've seen in the first month and a

0:01:26.959 --> 0:01:30.440
<v Speaker 2>half of the presidency. But I got to say all

0:01:30.520 --> 0:01:36.080
<v Speaker 2>of that was overshadowed in many ways by the utterly

0:01:36.280 --> 0:01:41.319
<v Speaker 2>disgraceful behavior of the Democrats. It was something I've never

0:01:41.480 --> 0:01:47.480
<v Speaker 2>seen before. It was shocking, it was disrespectful, it was defiant,

0:01:47.560 --> 0:01:50.040
<v Speaker 2>it was delusional. We're gonna break it all down. We're

0:01:50.040 --> 0:01:51.960
<v Speaker 2>gonna break down the best parts of the speech, the

0:01:52.000 --> 0:01:54.360
<v Speaker 2>best things President Trump had to say, and we're going

0:01:54.440 --> 0:01:58.160
<v Speaker 2>to talk about what it indicates that today's Democrat party

0:01:58.680 --> 0:02:03.200
<v Speaker 2>stands for nothing, applat for nothing, does not cheer on America.

0:02:05.040 --> 0:02:08.080
<v Speaker 2>It is something never before seen at a State of

0:02:08.080 --> 0:02:09.600
<v Speaker 2>the Union address. We're going to break it down and

0:02:09.680 --> 0:02:10.160
<v Speaker 2>what it means.

0:02:10.680 --> 0:02:13.040
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it was truly an incredible night, and like you said,

0:02:13.040 --> 0:02:15.600
<v Speaker 1>I think it's probably the best speech the presents ever given.

0:02:15.919 --> 0:02:17.600
<v Speaker 1>I want to tell you real quick about our friends

0:02:17.639 --> 0:02:21.560
<v Speaker 1>over at the IFCJ. After more than a year of war,

0:02:21.840 --> 0:02:25.240
<v Speaker 1>tar and pain in Israel, all of Israel has broken

0:02:25.240 --> 0:02:28.880
<v Speaker 1>hearted after learning of the tragic deaths of the Beavis

0:02:29.000 --> 0:02:32.160
<v Speaker 1>children who were held hostage in Gazam, and so many

0:02:32.320 --> 0:02:35.480
<v Speaker 1>are still hurting throughout the Holy Land, where the need

0:02:35.560 --> 0:02:40.600
<v Speaker 1>for aid is unfortunately continuing to grow. That is where

0:02:40.600 --> 0:02:44.079
<v Speaker 1>the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews has stepped in,

0:02:44.600 --> 0:02:47.880
<v Speaker 1>and you have stepped in to help support the families

0:02:47.880 --> 0:02:51.000
<v Speaker 1>of the hostages and other victims of the October seventh

0:02:51.080 --> 0:02:55.239
<v Speaker 1>terror attacks. And with your help, IFCJ has provided financial

0:02:55.360 --> 0:02:59.280
<v Speaker 1>and emotional help to hostages and their families into those

0:02:59.320 --> 0:03:02.639
<v Speaker 1>healing and re building their broken homes and broken bodies.

0:03:03.080 --> 0:03:06.799
<v Speaker 1>But the real work is really just beginning now. Your

0:03:06.840 --> 0:03:10.079
<v Speaker 1>gift will help provide critically needed support to families in

0:03:10.240 --> 0:03:14.160
<v Speaker 1>Israel whose lives continue to be destroyed by terror and

0:03:14.280 --> 0:03:18.480
<v Speaker 1>uncertainty as Israel remains surrounded by enemies. You can give

0:03:18.520 --> 0:03:21.960
<v Speaker 1>a gift to bless israel inner people and have a

0:03:22.200 --> 0:03:27.959
<v Speaker 1>real impact today by visiting support IFCJ dot org. That's

<v Speaker 1>its support IFCJ dot org center.

0:03:47.240 --> 0:03:49.640
<v Speaker 3>I want to start with what stole the show?

0:03:49.840 --> 0:03:52.600
<v Speaker 1>You mentioned in a second ago, and and you, I know,

0:03:52.720 --> 0:03:54.800
<v Speaker 1>probably had a mental list in your in your head.

0:03:55.720 --> 0:03:58.720
<v Speaker 1>In there in the room, I was making notes on

0:03:58.800 --> 0:04:01.760
<v Speaker 1>my phone and putting them out on acts of all

0:04:01.840 --> 0:04:06.000
<v Speaker 1>the things that democratic lawmakers couldn't stand up to honor.

0:04:06.200 --> 0:04:07.560
<v Speaker 3>It's a long list.

0:04:08.160 --> 0:04:11.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but look, let's start with the very beginning of

0:04:11.440 --> 0:04:14.600
<v Speaker 2>the night. The very beginning of the night is when

0:04:15.280 --> 0:04:17.479
<v Speaker 2>the President walks onto the floor of the Senate and

0:04:17.480 --> 0:04:23.760
<v Speaker 2>he's introduced the President of the United States, and not

0:04:23.880 --> 0:04:30.400
<v Speaker 2>a single Democrat stood, not a single Democrat applauded. Now, Ben, listen,

0:04:30.440 --> 0:04:33.560
<v Speaker 2>I've been to thirteen State of the Union addresses. I've

0:04:33.600 --> 0:04:35.599
<v Speaker 2>gone to everyone since I got elected to the Senate,

0:04:35.960 --> 0:04:37.840
<v Speaker 2>and I actually love going to the State of the Union.

0:04:37.839 --> 0:04:41.200
<v Speaker 2>There's a pageantry to it, there's something amazing. It's more

0:04:41.279 --> 0:04:43.560
<v Speaker 2>fun when your guys in office. It's more fun when

0:04:43.600 --> 0:04:46.240
<v Speaker 2>you get to cheer on your own party, but I

0:04:46.360 --> 0:04:49.240
<v Speaker 2>go when the Democrats are in office. And I got

0:04:49.240 --> 0:04:54.280
<v Speaker 2>to tell you, every single time Joe Biden walked in,

0:04:54.720 --> 0:04:58.120
<v Speaker 2>every single time Barack Obama walked in, I stood up

0:04:58.400 --> 0:05:01.000
<v Speaker 2>and I applauded. Not because I I agreed with their agendas.

0:05:01.000 --> 0:05:04.600
<v Speaker 2>Their agendas were disgraceful and disastrous, but because I respect

0:05:04.640 --> 0:05:06.960
<v Speaker 2>the office of President of the United States, and I

0:05:07.000 --> 0:05:12.200
<v Speaker 2>respect the American people. And and I have never once

0:05:12.560 --> 0:05:17.719
<v Speaker 2>seen the opposing party refused to applaud for the president.

0:05:17.880 --> 0:05:21.360
<v Speaker 2>Understand what a break with tradition that is. Even in

0:05:21.720 --> 0:05:25.400
<v Speaker 2>past years, the Democrats applauded at the outset for the

0:05:25.400 --> 0:05:29.400
<v Speaker 2>President of the United States until tonight and and the

0:05:29.600 --> 0:05:33.600
<v Speaker 2>entire night. I guess I'm actually grumpy with the Democrats

0:05:33.640 --> 0:05:37.120
<v Speaker 2>because they've they've stolen my favorite game to play at

0:05:37.120 --> 0:05:37.760
<v Speaker 2>the State of the Union.

0:05:37.800 --> 0:05:40.400
<v Speaker 1>So, by the way, I know this game, and that's

0:05:40.440 --> 0:05:42.720
<v Speaker 1>why I'm laughing right now, because it was a great

0:05:42.800 --> 0:05:44.120
<v Speaker 1>game you created years ago.

0:05:44.400 --> 0:05:46.359
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and we've talked about it in the pod before.

0:05:46.520 --> 0:05:49.280
<v Speaker 2>So the State of the Union address. Look, if your

0:05:49.320 --> 0:05:52.839
<v Speaker 2>party's in power, it's you know, I joke, it's it's

0:05:52.880 --> 0:05:54.799
<v Speaker 2>like I actually was. I was sitting with Dave mcormick,

0:05:54.839 --> 0:05:58.240
<v Speaker 2>the new Center from Pennsylvania, who's you know, an our

0:05:58.360 --> 0:06:00.279
<v Speaker 2>Army veteran, And I said, all right, David is going

0:06:00.360 --> 0:06:02.839
<v Speaker 2>to be like pt in the army. Get ready for

0:06:02.920 --> 0:06:05.520
<v Speaker 2>Jane fond fondo aerobics. You're gonna pop up and down

0:06:05.520 --> 0:06:07.960
<v Speaker 2>and up and down and imagine the Trump. The President's

0:06:07.960 --> 0:06:10.520
<v Speaker 2>wearing leg warmers and you're just gonna be doing nothing

0:06:10.600 --> 0:06:13.520
<v Speaker 2>but every four words, standing up and applauding. And that's

0:06:13.520 --> 0:06:15.640
<v Speaker 2>what we did. I got to say, you know, my

0:06:15.520 --> 0:06:19.240
<v Speaker 2>my thighs are killing me from from from from just

0:06:19.320 --> 0:06:20.400
<v Speaker 2>doing squats all night.

0:06:21.480 --> 0:06:23.360
<v Speaker 1>But I want to see the stats, by the way,

0:06:23.360 --> 0:06:25.599
<v Speaker 1>on your R ring. I want to know what's the

0:06:25.960 --> 0:06:28.599
<v Speaker 1>what's the calorie burn during a state the longest stay

0:06:28.600 --> 0:06:29.360
<v Speaker 1>of the Union ever?

0:06:29.440 --> 0:06:32.440
<v Speaker 3>With Donald Trump speaking? Now that's real intel I need.

0:06:33.360 --> 0:06:34.920
<v Speaker 2>So I so, I don't know. I could look at

0:06:34.920 --> 0:06:36.080
<v Speaker 2>it in a second, And I don't know if they

0:06:36.160 --> 0:06:38.080
<v Speaker 2>count as steps because we're not moving. We're just standing

0:06:38.120 --> 0:06:39.840
<v Speaker 2>and sitting and standing and sitting and standing in city.

0:06:40.240 --> 0:06:42.360
<v Speaker 2>But what I like doing during the State of the

0:06:42.440 --> 0:06:45.760
<v Speaker 2>Union is watching the opposing party and picking out like

0:06:45.760 --> 0:06:47.800
<v Speaker 2>a couple of senators or House members and typically the

0:06:47.839 --> 0:06:51.960
<v Speaker 2>more moderate ones, and watching them agonize over what to

0:06:52.080 --> 0:06:54.760
<v Speaker 2>applaud or what to stand for it in the past,

0:06:54.839 --> 0:06:57.440
<v Speaker 2>you know, I'd look at like a Joe mansion and

0:06:57.560 --> 0:07:00.640
<v Speaker 2>you know he he would be you know, America is great,

0:07:01.400 --> 0:07:04.039
<v Speaker 2>and you'd see a few Democrats applaud for that, even

0:07:04.040 --> 0:07:08.479
<v Speaker 2>stand we support the troops, and they'd kind of agonize, Oh, okay,

0:07:08.520 --> 0:07:10.720
<v Speaker 2>I guess I could support the troops. But then they'd

0:07:10.720 --> 0:07:17.760
<v Speaker 2>go back and forth. Tonight they stood for nothing. So

0:07:17.840 --> 0:07:25.400
<v Speaker 2>they stood that. They did not stand for Joscelyn Nungeri's mother,

0:07:26.520 --> 0:07:29.720
<v Speaker 2>the twelve year old beautiful girl raped and murdered in

0:07:29.760 --> 0:07:32.640
<v Speaker 2>Texas by I legal immigrants. They would not stand for Alexis.

0:07:32.680 --> 0:07:36.560
<v Speaker 2>They did not stand for Lake and Riley's mother and sister.

0:07:37.640 --> 0:07:43.000
<v Speaker 2>They did not stand for a thirteen year old kid

0:07:43.520 --> 0:07:48.120
<v Speaker 2>surviving brain cancer. Like how do you not like like, okay,

0:07:48.320 --> 0:07:51.200
<v Speaker 2>I'm a crazy partisan who hates Trump, but okay, thirteen

0:07:51.280 --> 0:07:53.320
<v Speaker 2>year old kids surviving brain cancer wants to be a

0:07:53.360 --> 0:07:58.120
<v Speaker 2>cop like ull Like literally every single State of the

0:07:58.200 --> 0:08:00.720
<v Speaker 2>Union address that has been given from the beginny of time,

0:08:01.960 --> 0:08:05.240
<v Speaker 2>every person on the floor would have stood for the

0:08:05.280 --> 0:08:09.720
<v Speaker 2>thirteen year old kid or survive brain cancer. Zero Democrats stood.

0:08:09.720 --> 0:08:11.400
<v Speaker 2>I looked at them. They didn't.

0:08:11.440 --> 0:08:14.560
<v Speaker 1>Still, it was an emotional in there because I was

0:08:14.600 --> 0:08:16.760
<v Speaker 1>watching it and I got choked up watching it, and

0:08:16.800 --> 0:08:18.720
<v Speaker 1>there was a lot of people that were texting me, like, dude,

0:08:18.720 --> 0:08:21.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm crying right now. Because when you see a little

0:08:22.040 --> 0:08:24.560
<v Speaker 1>kid and how big his eyes got. You may not

0:08:24.600 --> 0:08:26.000
<v Speaker 1>have been able to see it from the floor because

0:08:26.200 --> 0:08:29.680
<v Speaker 1>they zoomed in, but when they said we're gonna make

0:08:29.720 --> 0:08:33.360
<v Speaker 1>you an agent, his eyes got so big.

0:08:33.480 --> 0:08:35.000
<v Speaker 3>He clearly didn't know what was going to happen.

0:08:35.080 --> 0:08:38.000
<v Speaker 1>His dad didn't know either, and it was just one

0:08:38.000 --> 0:08:40.679
<v Speaker 1>of those get a lump in your throat, choke up moments.

0:08:41.080 --> 0:08:44.400
<v Speaker 2>So I will say it was emotional, but it was true.

0:08:44.440 --> 0:08:46.720
<v Speaker 2>When you were in the chamber, we couldn't see the

0:08:46.800 --> 0:08:49.000
<v Speaker 2>kid's facial expressions. It was just too far away that

0:08:49.040 --> 0:08:52.599
<v Speaker 2>you couldn't see it. So I saw his facial expressions

0:08:52.640 --> 0:08:54.760
<v Speaker 2>for the first time about a half hour ago, when

0:08:54.800 --> 0:08:57.760
<v Speaker 2>I did Hannity and Sean played the close up and

0:08:57.800 --> 0:08:59.720
<v Speaker 2>so I could see, you know, I mean, I saw

0:08:59.720 --> 0:09:01.520
<v Speaker 2>the k and it was beautiful and we were cheering

0:09:01.559 --> 0:09:03.640
<v Speaker 2>and like when you know, Trump made him an honorary

0:09:03.679 --> 0:09:06.240
<v Speaker 2>Secret Service agent. That was really cool. But you're right,

0:09:06.760 --> 0:09:10.200
<v Speaker 2>the close up of his facial expressions was was really powerful.

0:09:10.200 --> 0:09:13.200
<v Speaker 2>And he's a Texan. DJ Daniel Daniel is a Texan.

0:09:13.480 --> 0:09:17.200
<v Speaker 2>You had Alexis Nunger. It was a Texan. But but

0:09:17.280 --> 0:09:20.120
<v Speaker 2>it was amazing. Look, the Democrats did not stand.

0:09:20.760 --> 0:09:20.880
<v Speaker 3>Uh.

0:09:20.880 --> 0:09:23.200
<v Speaker 2>They didn't stand for cutting taxes. They didn't stand for

0:09:23.280 --> 0:09:24.320
<v Speaker 2>no taxes on tips.

0:09:24.760 --> 0:09:24.960
<v Speaker 3>Uh.

0:09:25.000 --> 0:09:31.120
<v Speaker 2>They didn't stand for automakers building new manufacturing plants in America.

0:09:31.160 --> 0:09:34.280
<v Speaker 2>They didn't stand for steel workers that. They didn't stand

0:09:34.320 --> 0:09:39.720
<v Speaker 2>for border patrol agents. It was they didn't stand for

0:09:39.840 --> 0:09:44.560
<v Speaker 2>a kid going to West Point whose father was a

0:09:44.559 --> 0:09:48.000
<v Speaker 2>police officer killed in the line of duty, and the

0:09:48.040 --> 0:09:50.959
<v Speaker 2>President admitted him to West Point in the middle of

0:09:51.000 --> 0:09:53.960
<v Speaker 2>the speech, which was a pretty amazing moment too, Like

0:09:54.520 --> 0:09:57.760
<v Speaker 2>I it was, but but I will say this is

0:09:57.800 --> 0:10:01.640
<v Speaker 2>actually a there was There's one thing the entire night

0:10:01.679 --> 0:10:03.200
<v Speaker 2>they stood and clapped for. You know what it was?

0:10:04.240 --> 0:10:08.400
<v Speaker 2>What was that they stood and clapped for giving hundreds

0:10:08.440 --> 0:10:10.960
<v Speaker 2>of billions of dollars to Ukraine. There you go.

0:10:11.040 --> 0:10:12.920
<v Speaker 1>I knew there was a moment there and but the

0:10:13.280 --> 0:10:16.680
<v Speaker 1>pant when the feet I saw you could hear the

0:10:16.800 --> 0:10:19.360
<v Speaker 1>room get louder, but I wasn't sure if they were

0:10:19.400 --> 0:10:20.080
<v Speaker 1>standing for it.

0:10:20.120 --> 0:10:21.439
<v Speaker 3>And so that was the moment.

0:10:21.679 --> 0:10:24.320
<v Speaker 2>So not everyone stood, but a number of them stood.

0:10:24.320 --> 0:10:26.800
<v Speaker 2>A number of them pulled out Ukrainian flags. None of

0:10:26.800 --> 0:10:28.559
<v Speaker 2>them had American flags, but a number of them pulled

0:10:28.600 --> 0:10:31.600
<v Speaker 2>out Ukrainian flags. And I got to say, Look, you

0:10:31.600 --> 0:10:34.840
<v Speaker 2>could have disagreements about the war on Ukraine, but what

0:10:34.880 --> 0:10:37.079
<v Speaker 2>the hell does it say about Democrats that they will

0:10:37.160 --> 0:10:39.600
<v Speaker 2>cheer for Ukraine but not for America.

0:10:40.240 --> 0:10:42.959
<v Speaker 1>You go back to what you said about those emotional moments.

0:10:43.200 --> 0:10:46.240
<v Speaker 1>There was also moments in there that were good for

0:10:46.400 --> 0:10:47.880
<v Speaker 1>the American people.

0:10:48.320 --> 0:10:50.440
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and just policies.

0:10:50.520 --> 0:10:53.520
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you can't clap for tax cuts, you can't

0:10:53.559 --> 0:10:55.480
<v Speaker 1>clap for a secure border, which was something by the way,

0:10:55.480 --> 0:10:57.560
<v Speaker 1>they said that they were in favor of. Remember when

0:10:57.600 --> 0:10:59.400
<v Speaker 1>they were like, well it's us that we're in favor

0:10:59.440 --> 0:11:03.679
<v Speaker 1>of it. Us still workers, they couldn't clap for. They

0:11:03.720 --> 0:11:06.439
<v Speaker 1>couldn't clap for you know, the I go back to

0:11:06.480 --> 0:11:08.840
<v Speaker 1>the West Point for a moment. That was another emotional

0:11:08.840 --> 0:11:11.520
<v Speaker 1>moment where you've got a young man that's getting into

0:11:11.559 --> 0:11:14.600
<v Speaker 1>West Point who had a tragedy in his family life,

0:11:14.640 --> 0:11:17.800
<v Speaker 1>and they wouldn't stand for that. And then the capture

0:11:17.840 --> 0:11:20.240
<v Speaker 1>of terrorists, by the way, that one.

0:11:20.120 --> 0:11:24.000
<v Speaker 2>Actually was for murdering service the thirteen servicemen and women

0:11:24.040 --> 0:11:27.640
<v Speaker 2>in Afghanistan capturing the terrorists, and they're not happy to

0:11:27.679 --> 0:11:29.120
<v Speaker 2>capture the terrorists. People.

0:11:30.040 --> 0:11:32.240
<v Speaker 1>Can we play that clip because it's an important one.

0:11:32.480 --> 0:11:35.960
<v Speaker 1>Just this is what the President said. It's not hard

0:11:35.960 --> 0:11:38.040
<v Speaker 1>to clap for this or stand for this. It should

0:11:38.080 --> 0:11:41.199
<v Speaker 1>be like a universal everyone stand moment to.

0:11:41.240 --> 0:11:45.040
<v Speaker 4>The country tonight and please to announce that we have

0:11:45.400 --> 0:11:50.959
<v Speaker 4>just apprehended the top terrorists responsible for that toutrocity and

0:11:51.000 --> 0:11:53.319
<v Speaker 4>he is right now on his way here to face

0:11:53.440 --> 0:11:56.600
<v Speaker 4>the swift sword of American justice.

0:11:58.000 --> 0:12:00.280
<v Speaker 1>I mean that that was, by the way, break news

0:12:00.320 --> 0:12:01.839
<v Speaker 1>in n nine point nine percent of the people I'm

0:12:01.840 --> 0:12:02.439
<v Speaker 1>assuming in.

0:12:02.400 --> 0:12:04.559
<v Speaker 2>The room certainly to me, I didn't know that.

0:12:04.600 --> 0:12:06.200
<v Speaker 1>To you, okay, So I was wondering if you guys

0:12:06.280 --> 0:12:08.680
<v Speaker 1>knew that before, because it seemed like that everybody was

0:12:08.720 --> 0:12:11.199
<v Speaker 1>kind of caught off guard, like that was new to everyone.

0:12:11.920 --> 0:12:14.320
<v Speaker 1>And yet the President says it. You can hear half

0:12:14.360 --> 0:12:16.160
<v Speaker 1>the room or up the other ass like no, no, no,

0:12:16.400 --> 0:12:18.760
<v Speaker 1>my guy, terriss. That kills Americans that we're bringing back

0:12:18.760 --> 0:12:21.160
<v Speaker 1>to America. No, that's under Donald Trump can't.

0:12:21.000 --> 0:12:23.480
<v Speaker 2>And listen, I was looking over at the Democrats and

0:12:23.520 --> 0:12:26.280
<v Speaker 2>repeatedly turning to the folks around me, just saying, what

0:12:26.320 --> 0:12:29.600
<v Speaker 2>the hell is wrong with these people? Like it is,

0:12:29.720 --> 0:12:33.200
<v Speaker 2>how do you not cheer for that? And I think

0:12:33.240 --> 0:12:37.200
<v Speaker 2>the answer is they're so filled with hate. This is

0:12:37.280 --> 0:12:40.040
<v Speaker 2>now the party of hate and rage. And they hate

0:12:40.440 --> 0:12:43.560
<v Speaker 2>Donald Trump, the hay Deal on Musk and and they're

0:12:43.880 --> 0:12:48.240
<v Speaker 2>just and they're they hate the voters that elected Donald Trump.

0:12:49.440 --> 0:12:54.920
<v Speaker 2>And so there always were points listen in Democrats State

0:12:54.960 --> 0:12:56.680
<v Speaker 2>of the Union addresses, there have been a number of

0:12:56.679 --> 0:12:59.440
<v Speaker 2>things that I applauded for. If they say something that

0:12:59.480 --> 0:13:02.040
<v Speaker 2>I agree with, I happily applaud for if they, you know,

0:13:02.120 --> 0:13:05.440
<v Speaker 2>anytime they talk about supporting the troops. By the way,

0:13:05.480 --> 0:13:07.360
<v Speaker 2>at a State of the Union. So the Supreme Court

0:13:07.400 --> 0:13:09.640
<v Speaker 2>never never applauds other than they applaud at the beginning.

0:13:09.640 --> 0:13:13.439
<v Speaker 2>So the Supreme Court applauds traditionally at the President of

0:13:13.440 --> 0:13:16.360
<v Speaker 2>the United States when he's introduced, and that's typically the

0:13:16.360 --> 0:13:20.720
<v Speaker 2>only thing they applaud for. The Joint Chiefs, they usually

0:13:20.720 --> 0:13:23.000
<v Speaker 2>do the same thing. They'll applaud at the introduction of

0:13:23.040 --> 0:13:24.920
<v Speaker 2>the President of the United States. But I'll tell you

0:13:24.960 --> 0:13:27.160
<v Speaker 2>the Joint chiefs they applauded at the kid when he

0:13:27.200 --> 0:13:29.480
<v Speaker 2>was admitted to West Point, and it was I noticed

0:13:29.480 --> 0:13:33.600
<v Speaker 2>the general's applauding, and yet not a Democrat would. And

0:13:33.640 --> 0:13:35.960
<v Speaker 2>I got to say, Ben, there was a lot in

0:13:36.000 --> 0:13:38.559
<v Speaker 2>this speech to applaud for. As I said, I think

0:13:38.559 --> 0:13:41.160
<v Speaker 2>this is the best speech President Trump has ever given,

0:13:41.240 --> 0:13:45.200
<v Speaker 2>and so I was happy and enthusiastically applauding. Now, if

0:13:45.240 --> 0:13:47.640
<v Speaker 2>you did not have two hours to listen to the

0:13:47.640 --> 0:13:50.680
<v Speaker 2>speech tonight, if you didn't actually watch it, we've tried

0:13:50.679 --> 0:13:52.200
<v Speaker 2>to help you out on this podcast. So we have

0:13:52.240 --> 0:13:56.120
<v Speaker 2>a montage where we've selected some of the key moments

0:13:56.120 --> 0:13:58.480
<v Speaker 2>of the speech. And it's a little over three minutes,

0:13:58.480 --> 0:14:01.079
<v Speaker 2>so it's not very long. So you didn't have two hours,

0:14:01.600 --> 0:14:05.400
<v Speaker 2>here's three minutes that sums up the best moments from

0:14:05.520 --> 0:14:07.800
<v Speaker 2>President Trump's State of the Union address tonight.

0:14:08.840 --> 0:14:13.040
<v Speaker 4>I returned to this chamber tonight to report that America's

0:14:13.120 --> 0:14:17.480
<v Speaker 4>momentum is back, our spirit is back, our pride is back,

0:14:17.880 --> 0:14:21.640
<v Speaker 4>our confidence is back, and the American dream is surging

0:14:21.720 --> 0:14:25.200
<v Speaker 4>bigger and better than ever before.

0:14:25.040 --> 0:14:26.000
<v Speaker 3>Are we of ended.

0:14:25.800 --> 0:14:29.880
<v Speaker 4>Weaponized government, where as an example, a sitting president is

0:14:29.920 --> 0:14:35.040
<v Speaker 4>allowed to viciously prosecute his political opponent like me.

0:14:37.000 --> 0:14:38.000
<v Speaker 2>How did that work out?

0:14:38.920 --> 0:14:42.720
<v Speaker 4>Not to? Apa? Not to? Within hours of taking the

0:14:42.760 --> 0:14:46.200
<v Speaker 4>oath of office, I declared a national emergency on our

0:14:46.240 --> 0:14:50.120
<v Speaker 4>southern border, and I deployed the US military and border

0:14:50.160 --> 0:14:55.320
<v Speaker 4>patrol to repel the invasion of our country. And what

0:14:55.440 --> 0:14:59.920
<v Speaker 4>a job they've done. As a result, illegal border crossings

0:15:00.080 --> 0:15:05.240
<v Speaker 4>last month were by far the lowest ever recorded ever.

0:15:08.080 --> 0:15:13.440
<v Speaker 4>To unshackle our economy, I have directed that for every

0:15:13.560 --> 0:15:19.120
<v Speaker 4>one new regulation, ten old regulations must be eliminated, just

0:15:19.240 --> 0:15:23.120
<v Speaker 4>like I did in my very successful first day, and

0:15:23.200 --> 0:15:27.560
<v Speaker 4>I have stopped all government censorship and brought back free

0:15:27.680 --> 0:15:29.200
<v Speaker 4>speech in America.

0:15:29.280 --> 0:15:29.800
<v Speaker 2>It's back.

0:15:32.320 --> 0:15:36.280
<v Speaker 4>We've ended the tyranny of so called diversity, equity, and

0:15:36.360 --> 0:15:42.080
<v Speaker 4>inclusion policies all across the entire federal government, and indeed

0:15:42.120 --> 0:15:51.440
<v Speaker 4>the private sector and our military and our country will

0:15:51.480 --> 0:15:56.640
<v Speaker 4>be worked no longer. I also signed an executive order

0:15:56.960 --> 0:16:03.160
<v Speaker 4>to ben men from playing in women sports, and in

0:16:03.200 --> 0:16:06.480
<v Speaker 4>the near future, I want to do what has not

0:16:06.600 --> 0:16:11.160
<v Speaker 4>been done in twenty four years balance the federal budget.

0:16:11.160 --> 0:16:12.080
<v Speaker 3>We're going to balance it.

0:16:14.760 --> 0:16:18.320
<v Speaker 4>One point three million people from ages one hundred and

0:16:18.320 --> 0:16:21.600
<v Speaker 4>fifty to one hundred and fifty nine and over one

0:16:21.680 --> 0:16:29.320
<v Speaker 4>hundred and thirty thousand people according to the Social Security databases.

0:16:29.040 --> 0:16:32.400
<v Speaker 3>Our age over one hundred.

0:16:32.040 --> 0:16:36.600
<v Speaker 4>And sixty years old. We have a healthier country than

0:16:36.600 --> 0:16:57.720
<v Speaker 4>I thought, Bobby, including to finish one thousand and thirty

0:16:57.800 --> 0:17:00.480
<v Speaker 4>nine people between the ages of two hundred twenty and

0:17:00.520 --> 0:17:03.920
<v Speaker 4>two hundred and twenty nine, one person between the age

0:17:03.920 --> 0:17:06.479
<v Speaker 4>of two hundred and forty and two hundred and forty nine,

0:17:06.640 --> 0:17:11.040
<v Speaker 4>and one person is listed at three hundred and sixty

0:17:11.119 --> 0:17:15.879
<v Speaker 4>years of age, more than one hundred years, more than

0:17:15.920 --> 0:17:23.600
<v Speaker 4>one hundred years older than our country. But we're going

0:17:23.640 --> 0:17:26.720
<v Speaker 4>to find out where that money's going, and it's not

0:17:26.760 --> 0:17:28.720
<v Speaker 4>going to be pretty.

0:17:30.000 --> 0:17:33.280
<v Speaker 1>I mean this speech to go back to what you

0:17:33.320 --> 0:17:36.760
<v Speaker 1>said at the beginning. Number one, It did not feel long.

0:17:37.119 --> 0:17:40.840
<v Speaker 1>And there's an art when you're speech writing that you

0:17:40.920 --> 0:17:43.879
<v Speaker 1>want to be done before people are ready for you

0:17:43.960 --> 0:17:46.880
<v Speaker 1>to be done. Yeah, this speech did not seem long.

0:17:47.280 --> 0:17:49.440
<v Speaker 1>I want to know what it felt like when you

0:17:49.520 --> 0:17:50.719
<v Speaker 1>were in the chamber.

0:17:50.800 --> 0:17:51.280
<v Speaker 3>Number one.

0:17:51.720 --> 0:17:56.200
<v Speaker 1>But two, like the President came in and just brought

0:17:56.280 --> 0:17:58.480
<v Speaker 1>the heat, and I think the American people are going

0:17:58.560 --> 0:17:59.400
<v Speaker 1>to respond to this.

0:18:00.000 --> 0:18:01.639
<v Speaker 2>Oh, look, I thought it was a terrific speech. As

0:18:01.680 --> 0:18:03.960
<v Speaker 2>I said, it was optimistic, it was positive, it was

0:18:03.960 --> 0:18:07.159
<v Speaker 2>focused on results, the results that the President has been

0:18:07.200 --> 0:18:11.720
<v Speaker 2>producing and Republicans have been producing in just over forty days.

0:18:11.760 --> 0:18:14.639
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I mean, it really is incredible. It was

0:18:14.680 --> 0:18:18.320
<v Speaker 2>also a funny speech, like that whole litany going through

0:18:18.760 --> 0:18:20.879
<v Speaker 2>that the people on Social Security over one hundred and

0:18:20.880 --> 0:18:23.480
<v Speaker 2>twenty and over two hundred years and over three hundred

0:18:23.560 --> 0:18:27.000
<v Speaker 2>years old. Every line of it was funny. He had

0:18:27.040 --> 0:18:30.919
<v Speaker 2>a whole litany he went through Doge and the wasteful

0:18:31.320 --> 0:18:37.600
<v Speaker 2>spending that was just hysterical. And by the way, we're

0:18:37.640 --> 0:18:40.719
<v Speaker 2>cracking up laughing. All the Republicans, no Democrat laughed like

0:18:40.760 --> 0:18:43.520
<v Speaker 2>even on the funny lines as he goes through, they

0:18:43.640 --> 0:18:49.440
<v Speaker 2>support every bit of waste possible and just across the board.

0:18:49.440 --> 0:18:51.080
<v Speaker 2>Now in terms of the length, so this was the

0:18:51.160 --> 0:18:54.680
<v Speaker 2>longest State of the Union in history. And I'll tell

0:18:54.720 --> 0:18:58.240
<v Speaker 2>you so, I was sitting I was sitting with Tommy

0:18:58.240 --> 0:19:01.480
<v Speaker 2>Tubberville from Alabama. I was sitting with Josh Holly from Missouri,

0:19:01.760 --> 0:19:04.080
<v Speaker 2>and I was sitting with Dave McCormick from Pennsylvania.

0:19:04.119 --> 0:19:06.080
<v Speaker 3>So so, so how does that work? How do you

0:19:06.119 --> 0:19:08.280
<v Speaker 3>decide to you sit with. Is it just happen organically,

0:19:08.520 --> 0:19:10.919
<v Speaker 3>you guys hang out?

0:19:11.240 --> 0:19:13.560
<v Speaker 2>No, no, no, you just kind of we all all the

0:19:13.600 --> 0:19:16.280
<v Speaker 2>senators gather on the Senate floor and then we walk

0:19:16.440 --> 0:19:18.760
<v Speaker 2>from the Senate floor over the over the House floor

0:19:18.800 --> 0:19:21.840
<v Speaker 2>across the Capitol and we walk in together. And and

0:19:21.920 --> 0:19:25.320
<v Speaker 2>the House saves the front seats for the Senate, and

0:19:25.359 --> 0:19:27.320
<v Speaker 2>so they actually give give the best seats to the Senate,

0:19:27.320 --> 0:19:29.880
<v Speaker 2>which is nice, nice of the House to do. And

0:19:29.880 --> 0:19:31.560
<v Speaker 2>and so there are a whole bunch of seats I

0:19:32.400 --> 0:19:36.040
<v Speaker 2>presume one hundred seats that that are kept in the front,

0:19:36.080 --> 0:19:38.280
<v Speaker 2>and they have little placards on the seats that say

0:19:38.560 --> 0:19:43.719
<v Speaker 2>reserve for a senator. Uh. But but other than leadership

0:19:43.800 --> 0:19:46.800
<v Speaker 2>like John Thune and and and the elected leadership, they

0:19:46.840 --> 0:19:49.040
<v Speaker 2>have seats that are reserved specifically for them. But for

0:19:49.080 --> 0:19:51.879
<v Speaker 2>everyone else, it's just senator. And you can sit wherever

0:19:51.880 --> 0:19:53.880
<v Speaker 2>you want. And so just as you walk in, you

0:19:53.920 --> 0:19:56.280
<v Speaker 2>take the open seats. So it's a little bit happenstance.

0:19:57.480 --> 0:20:01.080
<v Speaker 2>But as as we were, we were prepared ring, we

0:20:01.200 --> 0:20:05.080
<v Speaker 2>actually had a friendly wager on how long the speech

0:20:05.160 --> 0:20:08.919
<v Speaker 2>was going to go. So so I bet that it

0:20:09.040 --> 0:20:11.720
<v Speaker 2>was going to go ninety three minutes, so an hour

0:20:11.760 --> 0:20:16.240
<v Speaker 2>and thirty three minutes. Josh Holly, who was sitting next

0:20:16.240 --> 0:20:17.680
<v Speaker 2>to me, bet it was going to go an hour

0:20:17.720 --> 0:20:18.840
<v Speaker 2>and thirty seven minutes.

0:20:19.760 --> 0:20:22.680
<v Speaker 3>Okay, just plan a little bit of prices, right.

0:20:22.480 --> 0:20:26.840
<v Speaker 2>Little price is right. Tommy Tuberville and and uh Dave

0:20:26.920 --> 0:20:32.040
<v Speaker 2>McCormick both bet an hour and forty minutes. So we

0:20:32.040 --> 0:20:34.920
<v Speaker 2>were all in the same neighborhood. And actually the one

0:20:34.920 --> 0:20:37.320
<v Speaker 2>who won was Holly. So so it was in fact

0:20:37.359 --> 0:20:40.040
<v Speaker 2>an hour and thirty eight minutes. So I was five

0:20:40.080 --> 0:20:42.439
<v Speaker 2>minutes off, but Josh was only one minute off, and

0:20:42.520 --> 0:20:46.160
<v Speaker 2>if he'd got another minute, McCormick and Tubberville would have won.

0:20:46.280 --> 0:20:48.840
<v Speaker 2>But but but it was so it was interesting that

0:20:48.840 --> 0:20:50.200
<v Speaker 2>that that those were the four of our.

0:20:50.640 --> 0:20:51.920
<v Speaker 3>How you guys picked that number?

0:20:51.920 --> 0:20:53.960
<v Speaker 1>By the way it was it did you see enough

0:20:54.080 --> 0:20:58.919
<v Speaker 1>beforehand or excerpts or themes you know, or original we got.

0:20:59.440 --> 0:21:01.360
<v Speaker 2>We had not seen a text of it at all.

0:21:01.480 --> 0:21:03.840
<v Speaker 2>It's just knowing Donald Trump and having been the State

0:21:03.840 --> 0:21:06.640
<v Speaker 2>of the Union addresses before. Look, I mean, we knew

0:21:06.680 --> 0:21:08.720
<v Speaker 2>it was going to be about an hour and a half,

0:21:08.760 --> 0:21:11.719
<v Speaker 2>maybe a little bit more, and so that uh uh,

0:21:12.119 --> 0:21:13.840
<v Speaker 2>we knew he had a lot to say. It was

0:21:13.880 --> 0:21:16.439
<v Speaker 2>not going to be a short speech, and and but

0:21:16.520 --> 0:21:18.439
<v Speaker 2>it didn't feel long. You're right, I mean it was.

0:21:18.480 --> 0:21:21.280
<v Speaker 2>There was storytelling in it. It was funny, it was

0:21:21.320 --> 0:21:25.880
<v Speaker 2>relating powerful moments. And then, as I said, the the

0:21:25.920 --> 0:21:31.240
<v Speaker 2>antics of the Democrats really look, including sadly Al Green,

0:21:31.440 --> 0:21:35.480
<v Speaker 2>congressman from from your in my hometown Houston, who stood

0:21:35.600 --> 0:21:37.920
<v Speaker 2>up and just made a complete ass of himself.

0:21:37.960 --> 0:21:40.120
<v Speaker 1>And I was going to ask you on that one,

0:21:40.160 --> 0:21:44.520
<v Speaker 1>because it played on TV like it was very clearly

0:21:45.400 --> 0:21:47.440
<v Speaker 1>pre planned. And for me, they don't know him. This

0:21:47.520 --> 0:21:50.160
<v Speaker 1>is the guy that he's now called for turning impeached

0:21:50.200 --> 0:21:53.080
<v Speaker 1>a third time. He led impeachment first second, that's like

0:21:53.119 --> 0:21:56.040
<v Speaker 1>his thing, and so as soon as the presidents elected,

0:21:56.040 --> 0:21:57.920
<v Speaker 1>it's like, oh yeah, yeah, we got impeach a sky

0:21:57.920 --> 0:22:00.640
<v Speaker 1>and we're going to call for impeachment. It it played

0:22:00.720 --> 0:22:03.760
<v Speaker 1>on TV like it was one hundred percent pre planned

0:22:03.760 --> 0:22:06.200
<v Speaker 1>by him to do that, or maybe even the Democratic Party.

0:22:06.200 --> 0:22:07.720
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if they were involved. This is just

0:22:07.840 --> 0:22:11.320
<v Speaker 1>his own brainchild. What was it like being there though?

0:22:12.000 --> 0:22:15.520
<v Speaker 2>So look, I think everyone was shocked, shocked and not chocked.

0:22:15.560 --> 0:22:20.719
<v Speaker 2>We expected the Democrats to misbehave and engage in antics.

0:22:21.520 --> 0:22:24.360
<v Speaker 2>I didn't expect that they would refuse to applaud for anything,

0:22:24.400 --> 0:22:26.800
<v Speaker 2>and I've never seen there have been a couple of

0:22:26.840 --> 0:22:32.080
<v Speaker 2>instances where where House members have called out like have

0:22:32.600 --> 0:22:36.080
<v Speaker 2>you know Joe Wilson famously said said when Obamacare said?

0:22:36.840 --> 0:22:40.199
<v Speaker 2>When Obama said, I think it was on Obamacare, if

0:22:40.240 --> 0:22:41.800
<v Speaker 2>you want your health in church, you can keep it,

0:22:41.840 --> 0:22:45.960
<v Speaker 2>And Joe Wilson famously called out, you lie. And that

0:22:46.080 --> 0:22:49.200
<v Speaker 2>was a big deal that one congressman called out two words.

0:22:49.960 --> 0:22:51.840
<v Speaker 2>Was a big deal that people still talk about a

0:22:51.880 --> 0:22:52.480
<v Speaker 2>decade later.

0:22:53.280 --> 0:22:55.080
<v Speaker 1>And so by the way, the media totally freaked out

0:22:55.119 --> 0:22:57.800
<v Speaker 1>the entire night afterwards, like I can't believe to do this,

0:22:57.880 --> 0:23:00.399
<v Speaker 1>he shouldn't be in Congress, she resign, I mean, And

0:23:00.440 --> 0:23:03.040
<v Speaker 1>then tonight nothing from the mainstream media on this one.

0:23:04.160 --> 0:23:07.480
<v Speaker 2>And look he stood up, he interrupted the speech. And

0:23:07.720 --> 0:23:10.000
<v Speaker 2>by the way, I don't know, could you hear what

0:23:10.040 --> 0:23:10.600
<v Speaker 2>he was saying?

0:23:11.680 --> 0:23:12.439
<v Speaker 3>No, we could not.

0:23:12.760 --> 0:23:15.480
<v Speaker 1>It just I thought it very interesting that it looked

0:23:15.520 --> 0:23:18.359
<v Speaker 1>like Speaker Johnson was ready in cases happened because he

0:23:18.440 --> 0:23:20.600
<v Speaker 1>looked down to read the words he was reading about

0:23:20.640 --> 0:23:21.240
<v Speaker 1>the rules.

0:23:21.960 --> 0:23:24.880
<v Speaker 2>So what he was saying, it's interesting what he got

0:23:24.880 --> 0:23:28.560
<v Speaker 2>mad at He got mad when Trump said I've got

0:23:28.600 --> 0:23:31.600
<v Speaker 2>a mandate from the election, and al Green stood up

0:23:31.640 --> 0:23:33.880
<v Speaker 2>and he was yelling, saying, you don't have a mandate.

0:23:33.920 --> 0:23:37.760
<v Speaker 2>You do not have a mandate. And it was the

0:23:37.840 --> 0:23:42.240
<v Speaker 2>Democrats are in absolute denial. They're in denial that the

0:23:42.280 --> 0:23:46.080
<v Speaker 2>election happened. Look, the facts are straightforward. Trump. Of the

0:23:46.119 --> 0:23:50.000
<v Speaker 2>seven swing states, he won all seven. He won the

0:23:50.000 --> 0:23:53.720
<v Speaker 2>popular vote in this country, something that Republicans haven't done

0:23:53.760 --> 0:23:57.040
<v Speaker 2>for twenty years. He won a Republican House and a

0:23:57.080 --> 0:24:01.080
<v Speaker 2>Republican Senate. Any way you look at it, that's a mandate.

0:24:01.160 --> 0:24:04.320
<v Speaker 2>And yet that's what al Green was screaming about. And

0:24:04.359 --> 0:24:06.800
<v Speaker 2>he kept on screaming and interrupting the president. The president

0:24:06.840 --> 0:24:08.600
<v Speaker 2>finally had to stop. I mean, he was standing right

0:24:08.640 --> 0:24:11.240
<v Speaker 2>in the middle and just screaming and trying to yell

0:24:11.280 --> 0:24:16.560
<v Speaker 2>over the president, and the Speaker gaveled him down and said, listen,

0:24:16.560 --> 0:24:19.760
<v Speaker 2>if you don't maintain decorum, the sergeant at arms will

0:24:19.760 --> 0:24:22.399
<v Speaker 2>remove you. And al Green kept on yelling, and so

0:24:22.480 --> 0:24:26.240
<v Speaker 2>the sergeant at arms removed him. And by the way,

0:24:26.280 --> 0:24:30.439
<v Speaker 2>the Speaker said tonight on Hannity that al Green is

0:24:30.560 --> 0:24:32.800
<v Speaker 2>likely going to be censured by the House of representatives,

0:24:32.800 --> 0:24:36.800
<v Speaker 2>which which I think is unsurprising because if you if

0:24:36.840 --> 0:24:40.720
<v Speaker 2>you disturb an official proceeding like that, that's that's the

0:24:40.800 --> 0:24:41.600
<v Speaker 2>natural remedy.

0:24:42.640 --> 0:24:45.280
<v Speaker 3>It's incredible. Let me tell you about Patriot Mobile.

0:24:45.320 --> 0:24:47.879
<v Speaker 1>While we may have won this election, the fight to

0:24:47.880 --> 0:24:50.600
<v Speaker 1>restore our great nation is only beginning. And now is

0:24:50.600 --> 0:24:53.240

0:25:02.200 --> 0:25:05.160

0:26:50.200 --> 0:26:52.359
<v Speaker 1>I want to go back to one other point that

0:26:52.720 --> 0:26:55.240
<v Speaker 1>we mentioned earlier, but I think it's important to kind

0:26:55.240 --> 0:26:59.719
<v Speaker 1>of expand on it. And it was a shocking moment

0:26:59.800 --> 0:27:04.280
<v Speaker 1>of just either completely out of touch or this Democratic Party,

0:27:04.800 --> 0:27:07.680
<v Speaker 1>I guess you could just say, is in a sense

0:27:07.800 --> 0:27:11.960
<v Speaker 1>just completely lost. You had not a single Democrat applaud

0:27:12.800 --> 0:27:17.400
<v Speaker 1>Peyton McNabb who suffered brain damage after a volleyball spiked

0:27:17.440 --> 0:27:22.840
<v Speaker 1>by a trans person, a man that acting like a woman, ended.

0:27:22.600 --> 0:27:24.399
<v Speaker 3>Her hopes of a college career.

0:27:24.440 --> 0:27:28.800
<v Speaker 1>That's how significant the injury was, and it made her

0:27:28.880 --> 0:27:33.800
<v Speaker 1>retire and also took potentially like a scout, changed her

0:27:33.880 --> 0:27:34.879
<v Speaker 1>life forever.

0:27:35.320 --> 0:27:37.880
<v Speaker 3>And they couldn't even clap for her.

0:27:38.680 --> 0:27:41.440
<v Speaker 2>No, not a Democrat clap for not one. And by

0:27:41.480 --> 0:27:45.280
<v Speaker 2>the way, just this past week, every single Democrat in

0:27:45.640 --> 0:27:50.960
<v Speaker 2>the Senate voted against protecting girls from boys competing in sports,

0:27:51.280 --> 0:27:55.280
<v Speaker 2>every one of them. And you know in the campaign listen,

0:27:55.440 --> 0:27:59.040
<v Speaker 2>in my reelection campaign, Colin all Red claims I don't

0:27:59.040 --> 0:28:02.439
<v Speaker 2>support boys playing in girls sports. Well, every Senate and

0:28:02.520 --> 0:28:04.240
<v Speaker 2>except the fact that he voted for it over and

0:28:04.280 --> 0:28:07.600
<v Speaker 2>over and over again, every single Senate Democrat when they're

0:28:07.600 --> 0:28:10.199
<v Speaker 2>on reelection campaigns they tell the voters, I don't support

0:28:10.240 --> 0:28:13.520
<v Speaker 2>boys and girls sports, and yet every single one of

0:28:13.560 --> 0:28:15.119
<v Speaker 2>them just voted for it, and not a one of

0:28:15.119 --> 0:28:19.320
<v Speaker 2>them applauded. I mean, it's the simple reality of how

0:28:19.359 --> 0:28:21.560
<v Speaker 2>extreme their party is.

0:28:21.600 --> 0:28:21.760
<v Speaker 3>Now.

0:28:21.760 --> 0:28:24.879
<v Speaker 2>I will tell you one thing that that was particularly

0:28:24.920 --> 0:28:30.080
<v Speaker 2>meaningful to me was all the Texans whom President Trump

0:28:30.119 --> 0:28:34.920
<v Speaker 2>honored a night, including Alexis Nungary, the mom of Joscelyn. Now,

0:28:34.960 --> 0:28:37.280
<v Speaker 2>Alexis was going to be my guest tonight. Every senator

0:28:37.320 --> 0:28:40.120
<v Speaker 2>gets one guest, and I had invited Alexis. She was

0:28:40.160 --> 0:28:43.360
<v Speaker 2>coming up as my guest, and then the President invited her.

0:28:43.400 --> 0:28:47.720
<v Speaker 2>So she went and she was sitting with Milania Trump.

0:28:47.760 --> 0:28:51.800
<v Speaker 2>I was really grateful for the the for her being

0:28:52.200 --> 0:28:55.040
<v Speaker 2>invited by the President to come there. And then right

0:28:55.120 --> 0:28:58.840
<v Speaker 2>next to Milania Trump was Elliston Barry. And Elliston Berry

0:28:58.920 --> 0:29:02.800
<v Speaker 2>is someone also another Texan who was the inspiration for

0:29:02.840 --> 0:29:05.240
<v Speaker 2>the Take It Down Act. So, Elliston Barry's a fifteen

0:29:05.320 --> 0:29:09.240
<v Speaker 2>year old girl from North Texas from Aledo who, when

0:29:09.280 --> 0:29:12.880
<v Speaker 2>she was fourteen and a freshman in high school, a boy,

0:29:12.960 --> 0:29:17.560
<v Speaker 2>a classmate of hers, took an innocent social media picture

0:29:17.560 --> 0:29:21.640
<v Speaker 2>of her and used artificial intelligence to create a deep

0:29:21.800 --> 0:29:26.240
<v Speaker 2>fake naked image of her that appeared to be real

0:29:26.320 --> 0:29:29.160
<v Speaker 2>but it was fake, and then sent it to her classmates.

0:29:29.240 --> 0:29:32.160
<v Speaker 2>And she was the inspiration for my legislation to Take

0:29:32.200 --> 0:29:36.680
<v Speaker 2>It Down Act, which passed the Senate unanimously.

0:29:37.360 --> 0:29:39.920
<v Speaker 1>And by the way, how many times have you been

0:29:39.960 --> 0:29:43.360
<v Speaker 1>involved in legislation that was passed unanimously in your career

0:29:43.400 --> 0:29:43.920
<v Speaker 1>in the Senate.

0:29:44.560 --> 0:29:48.320
<v Speaker 2>A lot of times. I've passed one hundred and one

0:29:48.360 --> 0:29:51.080
<v Speaker 2>different pieces of legislation into law. A number of them

0:29:51.080 --> 0:29:53.840
<v Speaker 2>were unanimous, the Senate off And if you do the work,

0:29:53.880 --> 0:29:57.480
<v Speaker 2>you can bring people together and pass something. And actually,

0:29:57.560 --> 0:30:01.640
<v Speaker 2>just yesterday, the first Lady, Milanie Trump came to the Capitol,

0:30:01.680 --> 0:30:04.000
<v Speaker 2>first time she has this first lady the second term,

0:30:04.600 --> 0:30:06.560
<v Speaker 2>supporting the Take It Down Act, and we did a

0:30:06.640 --> 0:30:09.440
<v Speaker 2>round table, which we're gonna we're gonna talk about significantly

0:30:09.440 --> 0:30:11.360
<v Speaker 2>more on Friday's pod. But we did a round table

0:30:11.360 --> 0:30:14.400
<v Speaker 2>where Milania Trump heard from Elliston Berry, heard from other

0:30:14.560 --> 0:30:18.880
<v Speaker 2>victims of non consensual intimate images and called on the

0:30:18.920 --> 0:30:21.959
<v Speaker 2>House to pass the Take It Down Act. And President

0:30:22.000 --> 0:30:24.280
<v Speaker 2>Trump tonight called in the House to pass the date

0:30:24.360 --> 0:30:26.520
<v Speaker 2>Take It Down Act. So I was really glad the

0:30:26.640 --> 0:30:30.520
<v Speaker 2>two people directly next to to Malania Trump to her left,

0:30:31.200 --> 0:30:35.200
<v Speaker 2>where two Texans Elliston Berry and Alexis Nungary and and

0:30:35.200 --> 0:30:36.360
<v Speaker 2>and that made me very happy.

0:30:37.520 --> 0:30:38.920
<v Speaker 1>It was that that may have been one of the

0:30:38.920 --> 0:30:41.320
<v Speaker 1>best parts of the night. Let's talk about what this

0:30:41.360 --> 0:30:45.840
<v Speaker 1>looks like moving forward. I think the President's speech is

0:30:45.840 --> 0:30:48.320
<v Speaker 1>going to play very well with the American people. I

0:30:48.320 --> 0:30:50.680
<v Speaker 1>think it's going to help with momentum moving forward.

0:30:50.920 --> 0:30:51.120
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:30:51.160 --> 0:30:53.840
<v Speaker 1>I also do think that the American people, in the

0:30:53.840 --> 0:30:58.280
<v Speaker 1>way they were watching this on TV saw the the

0:30:58.280 --> 0:31:02.360
<v Speaker 1>the shocking moments when they wouldn't stand for children that were,

0:31:02.400 --> 0:31:06.560
<v Speaker 1>you know, murdered by illegal immigrants, their families, police officers

0:31:06.640 --> 0:31:08.120
<v Speaker 1>die in the lie of dooy duty.

0:31:08.440 --> 0:31:09.440
<v Speaker 3>It was on the list.

0:31:10.080 --> 0:31:12.360
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you look at all of this, bringing an

0:31:12.360 --> 0:31:14.560
<v Speaker 1>American hostage home from Russia, by the way, they wouldn't

0:31:14.560 --> 0:31:17.760
<v Speaker 1>stand for that. That was another moment we left at earlier.

0:31:18.160 --> 0:31:19.680
<v Speaker 1>Were you shocked by that as well?

0:31:20.480 --> 0:31:20.720
<v Speaker 3>Well?

0:31:20.760 --> 0:31:23.240
<v Speaker 2>And you and I covered Mark Fogel coming back, We

0:31:23.360 --> 0:31:29.320
<v Speaker 2>covered that on the podcast when had happened. That was

0:31:29.400 --> 0:31:31.520
<v Speaker 2>one of the multiple times I turned to the folks

0:31:31.520 --> 0:31:33.640
<v Speaker 2>around me and I'm like, what the hell is wrong

0:31:33.720 --> 0:31:36.680
<v Speaker 2>with these people? Like, like, how do you not. This

0:31:36.760 --> 0:31:39.960
<v Speaker 2>is not partisan. This is not I get that they

0:31:40.000 --> 0:31:44.520
<v Speaker 2>don't cheer for, you know, conservative ideas because they're all

0:31:44.560 --> 0:31:48.160
<v Speaker 2>wacko lefties, But how do you not cheer for things

0:31:48.160 --> 0:31:53.520
<v Speaker 2>that are just unambiguously good. And it's today's Democrat party,

0:31:53.520 --> 0:31:56.280
<v Speaker 2>it's accommodation. They become the party of hate and rage

0:31:57.000 --> 0:32:00.560
<v Speaker 2>and they're in denial. They don't know how to respond

0:32:00.600 --> 0:32:05.320
<v Speaker 2>to this election other than to fume and glare. And

0:32:05.360 --> 0:32:09.240
<v Speaker 2>I got to say, if you're an elected Democrat, how

0:32:09.280 --> 0:32:12.240
<v Speaker 2>do you think this is a good message to the

0:32:12.280 --> 0:32:16.920
<v Speaker 2>American people. We hate everyone and everything that's the Democrats like.

0:32:17.600 --> 0:32:18.400
<v Speaker 2>I don't get that.

0:32:19.160 --> 0:32:22.000
<v Speaker 1>No, I don't either. So what happens now? This is

0:32:22.040 --> 0:32:25.440
<v Speaker 1>my prediction. I think the presence proval rating is going

0:32:25.520 --> 0:32:30.440
<v Speaker 1>to stay solid and in certain categories, support on certain

0:32:30.440 --> 0:32:32.720
<v Speaker 1>issues will actually rise coming out of this State of

0:32:32.760 --> 0:32:35.400
<v Speaker 1>the Union. I think this is going to continue the

0:32:35.480 --> 0:32:39.680
<v Speaker 1>momentum on on things like DOGE and even in some

0:32:39.800 --> 0:32:42.240
<v Speaker 1>of the issues that we're talking about that are in

0:32:42.480 --> 0:32:45.880
<v Speaker 1>tough ones, whether it's dealing with Mexico and cartels, or

0:32:45.960 --> 0:32:48.640
<v Speaker 1>tariffs or Canada and fetanol. The list goes on and on.

0:32:49.320 --> 0:32:53.320
<v Speaker 1>I think same thing on Ukraine funding. I think this

0:32:53.360 --> 0:32:58.080
<v Speaker 1>could catapult him to even greater near term success. That's

0:32:58.120 --> 0:33:01.320
<v Speaker 1>a lot of political capital that obviously you want your

0:33:01.480 --> 0:33:02.080
<v Speaker 1>your prediction.

0:33:03.160 --> 0:33:05.959
<v Speaker 2>Look, I agree with you. I think the American people

0:33:06.080 --> 0:33:08.320
<v Speaker 2>are going to be happy with this speech. They're going

0:33:08.400 --> 0:33:10.920
<v Speaker 2>to be happy with the results. The American people are

0:33:10.960 --> 0:33:14.760
<v Speaker 2>happy with successes for America. And we're getting on the border,

0:33:15.600 --> 0:33:19.520
<v Speaker 2>seeing illegal immigrations and illegal boarding crossings drop over ninety percent.

0:33:19.600 --> 0:33:25.360
<v Speaker 2>That's an unambiguous victory. On energy, Seeing energy production going up,

0:33:25.480 --> 0:33:30.440
<v Speaker 2>seeing regulations being repealed, seeing wasteful spending being eliminated, those

0:33:30.440 --> 0:33:34.000
<v Speaker 2>are unambiguous victories. In terms of jobs, he went through

0:33:34.040 --> 0:33:38.280
<v Speaker 2>the investments, the investments on new investments, whether from Oracle

0:33:38.360 --> 0:33:42.800
<v Speaker 2>or Apple, or car companies bringing new factories here. Those

0:33:42.840 --> 0:33:45.520
<v Speaker 2>are big wins. Those are the sorts of things. Those

0:33:45.560 --> 0:33:47.880
<v Speaker 2>are the sorts of things. Frankly, when Joe Biden talked

0:33:47.920 --> 0:33:50.960
<v Speaker 2>about if you know, he had Democrats and their speeches

0:33:50.960 --> 0:33:53.080
<v Speaker 2>would talk about a new factory, and you know what,

0:33:53.120 --> 0:33:55.400
<v Speaker 2>the Republicans would all stand and chair, because, hey, a

0:33:55.440 --> 0:33:57.480
<v Speaker 2>new factory in America is a good thing. And we

0:33:58.320 --> 0:34:01.800
<v Speaker 2>even if we don't support many, if not most, of

0:34:01.800 --> 0:34:05.640
<v Speaker 2>Biden and Obama's policies. We cheer for the American people.

0:34:06.920 --> 0:34:10.680
<v Speaker 2>I think that the president's message was really strong, but

0:34:10.719 --> 0:34:13.839
<v Speaker 2>I also think the contrast with the Democrats made it

0:34:13.920 --> 0:34:14.800
<v Speaker 2>even stronger.

0:34:14.840 --> 0:34:15.640
<v Speaker 4>And so.

0:34:17.160 --> 0:34:19.759
<v Speaker 2>I think this was a good night for America, but

0:34:21.719 --> 0:34:23.840
<v Speaker 2>not a good night for today's Democrat party.

0:34:24.280 --> 0:34:24.520
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:34:24.640 --> 0:34:27.120
