Speaker 1 (00:00):
Previously on your Morning Show with Michael del Choo.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
I think America agrees that the Democrats certainly didn't read
the room or America very well. Once again, David Soona,
he's the CEO of the American Policy Roundtable, he's hosted
the Public Square, and he's also our senior contributors our
I'd say brit Hume, only David's still alive. It can
foster some thoughts by the way I have offered of
(00:26):
Britt No, I have officially ruined britt Hume for my wife.
She can't watch any more without laughing. But anyway, but
not fair. All right, So your take on the speech,
and I'm going to shut up probably the rest of
the second. I bring forth a couple of thoughts, Michael.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
This is more of a reflection on the United States
Congress senators on Donald Trump. This was basically a campaign speech,
so there wasn't a lot new except the genuinely encouraging
news that many of the things that he has been
able to do legally and constitutionally are being done. I
think the most provocative moment in regards to civil government
was the final admission on the part of the Trump
(01:02):
administration in essence. Perhaps now the world will realize we
really have never needed more at immigration laws. We just
needed more enforcement. Yeah, and that point you highlight is exc.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
Play it real quick, just to make your point because
people are constantly tuning in. I did this in the
five o'clock hour, and I kept going, well, this is
my favorite moment. Then I change, no, this is my
favorite one. This is my favorite moment because it's so true,
and it's such a reality, and it ends a political
argument that's been going on for decades. It's a mic
drop moment. You know. We often say, don't have any
bad moments, have a couple of really good moments, and
(01:34):
if you're lucky, you get a historic moment. I think
you're going to hear this sound clip. For many years
to come to the.
Speaker 4 (01:40):
Media and our friends in the Democrat Party kept saying
we needed new legislation, We must have legislation to secure
the border. But it turned out that all we really
needed was a new president.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
You know, because it's true because it was written so well,
But how about the delivery. It's so true, it's so
probable you can lawyer your voice and say it like
that because it's that much of a mic drop quote,
because it's true, it really was. We just needed a
new president. When you compare February year ago one hundred
ninety thousand border crossings to eight thousand a year later,
(02:17):
the only thing to change was the president.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
Yes, and we know that the voters of this country
are very much in favor of that across all demographics,
so that's very encouraging. However, I was born before the
era of Jerry Springer dominating the human imagination, and what
I would suggest is that what we really saw last
night was a victory for the Jerry Springer mindset in
the United States Congress across the board is acting like
(02:43):
basically a bunch of cosmic fools. They have lost touch
with the reality and the seriousness and the wonder of
being able to be a civil government that is designed
not to do things, but to enable people to do
things for themselves. Joe Biden campaigned and attempted to govern
(03:03):
as if he was leading the salvation of the American soul,
of course, not the proper role of government. What we
must be careful is that we do not bring the
level of the presidency, which is the second article, the
executive branch level where it and this has.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
Been a fifty year problem that we've been doing this.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
Yes, that we completely disregard the reality that it is
Congress that ultimately will have the final and most lasting
word in this situation. Now, the president's quite right about
his election results, but there's something that he's also perhaps overlooking.
There is less than a five vote majority for the
House of Representatives before the president's party. Now, I'm an independent,
(03:48):
and I'm a person who believes that principles is more
important than political parties. I am for the republic and
for the Constitution. If in fact this speech is as
relevant disappears from the polling numbers, it will be reflective
in the midterm. And if that's the case, then we'll
see more people standing next.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
Time, David Sanati joining us or a senior contributor. All Right,
so I'm watching that room visually, in that room, never
mind the stunts and the lord. I mean the fact
that you can't stand I mean when I think of
and I am not I'm not a shill for Trump.
I'm not a shill for the Republican Party. I'm not
even a Republican. But if if you can't digest that
(04:28):
Donald Trump is in Butler, Pennsylvania meets a ninety five
year old woman whose son is a teacher in a
gulag in Russia. He gets shot in the air, his
life is bared, becomes president after all everything that went
on during that campaign, and follows through and gets her
son home. If you can't clap for that, if you
(04:50):
can't clap for a fourteen year old with brain cancer,
if you can't clap for family members who have been
killed by leader, I mean, what do you stand for?
But in that room, it looks fifty to fifty who's standing,
who's sitting. But that's not America. In fact, that's I mean,
Donald Trump is different, but so is America, and they're
behind him anywhere from sixty three to seventy eight percent
(05:12):
to eighty two percent on some things with legal immigration,
they're behind this president. So America doesn't look fifty to
fifty like that room. So they didn't read the room
very well, and they were pretty tone deaf, but they
really didn't read the American people right where it was
nearly it was seventy six percent approval of the speech. Well,
if they don't get it right, that room's going to
start looking eighty twenty.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
Well, the people on the left hate the person that
was standing in the front, and they did anything else,
if they did everything short of picking up their chairs
and throwing them at the opposition. I mean, we're basically
looking at a Jerry Springer experience here, and I think
it's an embarrassment for our country, so much so that
it would be I think a tremendous move for the
next president of the United States to actually decide to
(05:54):
forego the State of the Union to deliver a letter
and mail it in yep, because the people that are
on the left are in capable. And I would also
add something else, the people on the right cheer too much. Okay,
this isn't this isn't high school pep rally. This is
a statement to a watching world. And there's decorum that
could be added on both sides. M Yeah, there was
(06:17):
some excessive cheering. I don't know about how I felt
about that one, but decent point. All right, let's go
into some of the content. I thought there were two
things that I thought were gonna be tough for the president.
What happened Friday that was covered nicely. Somebody did what
you said. I don't know that they fueled a plane
and started flying him at each other. But they somehow
(06:38):
got a letter from Zelensky, and therefore the mineral signing
is going to happen, and the President could read verbatim
from that letter.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
So they moved. Great move on everybody's par That was
a great move, all right. And then the toughest I
thought was going to be the tariffs, I thought, and
the President saved it for very late, and I wondered
if he was going to avoid it. I thought he
did a masterful job of explaining the unlevel playing field,
how it fits into an overall jigsaw puzzle, and it's
one piece along with tax cuts, along with border security,
(07:08):
along with manufacturing to bring down inflation. He acknowledged it's
going to create a little rough, you know, waves for
a while, but ultimately it's significant for winning and it
doesn't have to all actually happen either. But the way
he tied it in to championing their geography, the auto industry,
(07:29):
I mean, I'll tell you, there wasn't a lot new
that I didn't know. I didn't know he was considering
giving a tax rite off for interest on auto loans
if you buy American. That's a great message for Detroit
and Michigan. But how he can't do it without Congres, Well,
he can do with that Congress, but I mean he
called on Congress to do it. But it was a
great idea. But I mean he tied the tariffs into
(07:51):
farming and into the auto industry and into how it
fit in the overall puzzle being put together. I thought very.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
Well well, and I think his regarding the tax question
was also very significant and perhaps should have been a priority.
You know, Michael, if the President succeeds in persuading Congress
in the economic process, which we'll have to go through
reconciliation because we'll never pass the filibuster on these ideas
of tax cuts, no tax on tips. The Senate won't
(08:23):
let that happen unless it's done at a simple majority,
not a sixty percent majority, a sixty voter majority to
pass the filibuster. But similarly, think about this, there's a
huge population in this country that is getting social security,
or is close to social security, or has been promised
social security, and those people buy and large until they
get there, don't realize you're going to pay tax on
(08:44):
that money. All over again, they took it out of
your paycheck as a tax to start and now when
you get it back without interest, you'll pay tax again.
That is an unconscidable position for the.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
Federal government to be in when it comes to auto workers,
when it comes to farmers, when it comes to the elderly,
and taxation and the solvency of the security of a
living they paid into and are now relying on. These
used to be Democrat hills that he owned last night,
and he owned them with good ideas, and even in
(09:15):
the Democrat response, you know, she basically said, you know,
there's a way to create change, and then there's a
way to not do it reckless. But she didn't offer
any other differing ideas. And a lot of the things
that she attacked the President addressed in the speech, some
of them he's already accomplished. So bottom line for me,
we got to take a break. I don't think they
have their messenger. I don't think they have their message,
(09:36):
But now they've gone to a new low in terms
of behavior, and I don't know if they're hearing from
their constituents today, because if eight seventy six percent liked
that speech, and for sixty three percent of them they
left feeling hopeful, and eight out of ten found their
behavior despicable. I wonder if they're hearing from constituents in
(09:57):
their district, and I wonder the impact is is going
to happen in the midterm election. We'll talk more about
that coming up. There'll be another speech before the midterm
election two and maybe a chance for them to do better.
More with David Sinati and the big speech last night
from the President, longest in history.
