In This Episode, We Break Down:
Why Trump’s Speech Was So Effective
Trump’s mix of sharp political attacks and heartfelt storytelling left Democrats scrambling.
When Trump brings up good ideas, Democrats refuse to support them, making them look petty and incompetent.
The New Media Landscape Is Changing Everything
Legacy media no longer controls the narrative—social media is leveling the playing field.
The result? 76% of Americans viewed Trump’s speech favorably (according to CBS). Voters see through the media spin.
The Touching Story That Exposed the Left’s Partisan Politics
Trump honored DJ Daniel, a 13-year-old with childhood cancer who was made an honorary Secret Service member.
It was a beautiful, emotional moment—but shockingly, many Democrats refused to stand and applaud.
We analyze how this kind of tone-deaf opposition is destroying the Democratic Party’s credibility.
If the Democrats don’t change course, things will only get worse for them. Trump is winning on common-sense issues, and the American people are noticing.

Speaker 1 (00:03):
We can say uh.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
You and I are told increasingly we have to choose
between a left or right.
Well, I'd like to suggest thereis no such thing as a left or
right.
There's only an up or down.
This is the no Doubt About it.
Podcast.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
No doubt about it Now your hosts Christy and Mark
Runcany.
Sometimes you got to stand upand take responsibility.
Speaker 4 (00:35):
I mean, you do, I know usually let's just dive
right on in, because we don'thave a lot of time today.
We don't, we don't.
We're going to do rapid reacts.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
Yes, To Trump's speech, which was for the ages,
in many different ways, but no,I.
Usually we have the kids helpwriting the email that we put
out.
Okay, and I know you didn'trealize this, but I may have
taken over the email the lastone we sent out and in my haste
(01:04):
to try and continue my war withthe North American beaver, I
mentioned the beaver as thelargest rodent and apparently we
had a.
We had a someone write in andsay, hey, they're not the
largest rodent and you thoughtthe girls did it and it was me.
Speaker 5 (01:22):
And I would never do that.
I know the largest rodent.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
Well, I know that you do.
Speaker 5 (01:27):
I know that.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
But I'm going to say this yeah, I have stood next to
a capybara, I have stood next tomultiple beavers, alive, and
those that met their end.
Yes, and let me tell yousomething, the beaver is bigger.
Okay, I'm just saying it rightnow.
The little capybara that we sawin Mexico, no, that was like a
(01:49):
baby.
That thing was tiny.
I'm telling you right now I'veseen some beavers that are
massive.
Okay, and I stand by that.
The North American beaver,whether it is actually official
or not, is not only a rodent,but it is a massive rodent and a
destructive rodent.
Speaker 4 (02:05):
Okay, well, this woman was just wanting to
clarify with our email.
This is a mistake.
Speaker 5 (02:10):
I would never make.
So I just, I just want to makesure my name isn't tarnished,
because I've known since I waslike seven that the capybara was
the largest rodent.
Speaker 4 (02:17):
How could you, how dare you?
Well, I honestly, you guys helpus write the email.
So I assume, yeah, I honestly,you guys help us write the email
.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
So I know, I know, mom, I appreciate you trying to
trying to deflect and give me apass on that.
It was me, it was me, I, uh, Idid, but again I stand by the
mistake.
Let me just say that.
Speaker 4 (02:33):
Okay, let me just say that I'm not backing away from
the mistake down on your beaverheight and weight.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
Yes, Weight and and destructive power.
Speaker 4 (02:41):
Oh, they're nightmares, but anyway, okay,
let's move on.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
Yes, okay.
Speaker 4 (02:44):
I got things I got to do today we're actually
recording this pretty earlywhich?
Is good for us, but yes, Okay,so we've got some comments we
want to dive in really fast andI'll get your take on those.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
Yeah, yeah, yeah Comments.
And then we're going to talkabout the speech on Tuesday
night, which was basically actedas a state of the union, and it
was like none we've ever seenof the union, and it was like
none we've ever seen.
Speaker 4 (03:03):
So we'll get through that.
Well, because normally a stateof the union address you're kind
of a new president.
You haven't done a whole lot insix weeks.
This one was a little different.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
Well, you can't have a state of the union if you've
only been president for sixweeks, too, it's not allowed.
So it's a joint address toCongress, right?
But a lot of times, with apresident that's back in again,
it would be a State of the Union, right?
Right, because he'snon-consecutive, right?
It's considered just a jointaddress to Congress.
Right, so but yeah and this washis fifth one, right, because he
had the four before and thenthis one.
(03:33):
So you would have thought youknow, you knew how to deal with
Trump coming in, and it turnsout, no, no, turns out, no.
Speaker 4 (03:39):
Turns.
We're getting into that, butlet's get to a couple of these
really quickly.
Yeah, so Renee says I disagreewith your assessment of the AZ
governor's race as someone wholives in Arizona.
Karen Robeson does not have agood reputation here, whereas
Andy Biggs does.
Robeson is known as a McCainRepublican who runs for office
on her husband's dime.
It will be an interestingprimary for sure.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
Okay, renee.
Here's the thing I would sayabout that.
Renee, the reason I disagreewith you is because Karen Taylor
Robeson has Donald Trump'sendorsement.
Okay, when she ran againstCarrie Lake for the nomination
for governor.
In what?
2020?
Okay, or is it 2022?
2022.
When she ran in 2022,.
She did not In the world'slongest primary, in the world's
(04:21):
longest primary, because youguys in Arizona don't vote until
August in your primary, whichis ludicrous, insane ridiculous.
But anyway, she did not haveTrump's endorsement and so even
without Trump's endorsement, shecame within five points of Lake
.
Okay, Karen Taylor Robeson isgoing to roll with Trump's
endorsement because she's goingto have more money and, by the
way, she's pretty accomplishedperson on her own.
(04:42):
So I understand that herhusband has done very well, but
she's done very well too.
So a little unfair there to sayshe's living off his dime.
But I will just say this WithTrump's endorsement, renee, I
think that's what changes thisand that's why the whole
Republican purity test thatcould hurt her in some cases.
It won't hurt her in this case.
With Trump's endorsement, shewill be unbeatable.
Speaker 4 (05:03):
And in a state like Arizona, that Trump endorsement
helps her very much.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
So, in any Republican primary.
It helps you right In anyRepublican but doesn't
necessarily help you in anelection not in the general
election Right Right, but itwill help her in both in this
particular case.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
Right In Arizona.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
Yep For sure, okay.
Speaker 4 (05:20):
L Davis says, and I like this one.
I just had to read this onebecause we talked about I should
be polled as a potentialcandidate in our last show.
I think Christy would be abreath of fresh air and you can
still be a team.
Have you seen MLG?
She's a flaming idiot.
Speaker 7 (05:34):
Christy is knowledgeable and not afraid to
share her thoughts.
Speaker 4 (05:38):
L Davis, thank you so much, You're so kind.
I think there were some morecomments.
They said you should run forgovernor.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
I should be your AG.
Oh Lord, oh my goodness,Putting you in a courtroom.
Well, all you're going to do isquote a few good men.
Oh, I love it.
Speaker 4 (05:51):
Yeah, I can play one.
Hey, I'm not an attorney, I canjust play one on TV.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
I think they meant LG .
I don't need you as Lieutenantgovernor, I can promise you that
.
Speaker 4 (06:03):
Oh, I'd be a heck of a Lieutenant governor.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
No, you wouldn't you just back down.
You would be grabbing themicrophone I become the governor
and I'm like hey everybody.
No, you'd become the governor,and then you would not let me
back in the state.
I'd be like Mark is out.
Speaker 4 (06:14):
I'm in everybody.
No, I think the bulk of thesentiment is we've got a mess in
Santa Fe, right?
And people just want commonsense and I think they listen to
us and they're like these twojust make good common sense, so
don't be offended, Mark.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
No, no, no, no, and you would be a great elected
official.
I do believe that it's justthat half the time there'd be a
cleanup on aisle seven.
I mean, it would just be like,oh my gosh you know, somebody,
somebody, somebody fire up thestate constitution.
I'm pretty sure we have aconstitutional crisis on our
hands.
Speaker 4 (06:49):
So, okay, if you think I can't handle what I say,
sir.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
Oh, believe me, I've lived it.
Speaker 4 (06:55):
You.
Well, this is a marriage Iwould not do that?
I would not do that at thestate Capitol, you fool.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
I gotta be honest with you.
You cross over lanes of trafficlike no one I've ever seen.
Speaker 4 (07:07):
Hey, just because I can't drive doesn't mean I can't
be a good elected leader.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
It's a metaphor.
Speaker 8 (07:12):
Okay, I'm talking about literally, I am not a good
driver.
So well, that's true too.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
But you swerve over and you, you, you cover
different issues crossways.
Speaker 4 (07:25):
I mean it turns in.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
I do love doing in, but I still I do think you could
be great.
Oh, thanks so much.
No, I mean that.
No, I mean all right.
Speaker 4 (07:29):
Anyway, we're moving on, everybody, we're moving on.
Okay, Uh, junk Jack says.
I disagree with both of you onthe baby leave benefit.
For my experience usingpaternity leave at a previous
job, it was an incrediblebenefit.
It took all 12 weeks, whichturned out to be a blessing.
My wife was on doctor-orderedbed rest and I got valuable
one-on-one time with my firstchild, helped the family caught
up on house projects and evenbuilt extra savings through side
(07:51):
hustles.
This was all possible becausethe leave was company-funded.
I do understand concerns abouttax burdens on businesses,
especially the smaller ones.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
Yeah, no, I absolutely understand that too,
because, look, you're talkingabout two different things,
though in that email, right,you're talking about the private
funding of this.
For example, when we worked forNexstar, which owns KRQE, they
would give you a certain amountof money to be able to do the
same thing, which is very niceand a great thing to do.
I think it's a killer thing todo.
In fact, it should be a sellingpoint that a lot of these
(08:20):
companies use when they try tohire people.
A lot of these companies usewhen they try to hire people.
She'd say look, our family leavepolicy is really aggressive and
we give you a really goodopportunity to do exactly what
you're talking about, junk Jack.
I think it's great, but to sitthere and go to every New Mexico
small business and say we'regoing to tax you perhaps the
largest tax increase in statehistory and put another thing on
(08:41):
your back that you can't afford, that doesn't work.
So just because it's a goodidea and we want to see people
do it, especially by their ownvolition, forcing small
businesses to do it that don'thave the ability to do it is not
the right solution.
So the state foisting that onsmall business owners.
That's the killer in this wholething.
It isn't the policy itself.
Speaker 4 (09:01):
Okay, All right.
Well, let's dive in, becauselast night's we wanted to record
.
Actually, last night I think ifwe had looked a little better
you know I was- you know I tooka good.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
I took one look at you and was like no.
Speaker 4 (09:13):
I took one look at myself and said, no.
I was like, no, we can't dothat.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
We could put a slate up for us and then we just talk.
Speaker 4 (09:24):
I'll do all kinds of reports if I don't have to be on
camera.
Speaker 3 (09:27):
Are you kidding?
Speaker 4 (09:27):
me, I'll be like, I'll be on like five times a day
.
You guys will be sick of us.
So let's, uh, let's talk aboutthis first clip, kind of made
across, kind of went viralyesterday, um, across all social
media platforms, just thisscript that went out.
It looks like across, I don'tknow, all Congress.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
Well, well, it's not.
So there were I think therewere roughly, and I don't know
how many house members, but 20senators put out the same video,
basically, where they all readthe same script.
Speaker 4 (09:57):
There was more than that Cause.
I saw a different version ofthis and it looks like you
remember when they did um uh themedia thing.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
Yeah Well, that stems from when these media companies
that own all these stationswhen they write something for
the stations and they give it toall the stations, then all the
anchors read the same thing.
That's what that was.
Speaker 4 (10:16):
Well, the one I actually saw, sir was actually
people from Congress, it wasn'tmedia members.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
Oh, I'm sorry about that.
Speaker 4 (10:21):
Yeah, okay, so remember the Brady, before you
rudely interrupted me.
Speaker 7 (10:24):
I was trying to make a point yes.
Speaker 4 (10:26):
The Brady Bunch.
Remember how the Brady Bunchwith the boxes, and then it
would like multiply, andmultiply, and multiply.
That's what the one I saw, andI'm telling you it was more than
20, but anyway, go go on, carryon, sir, it was 20 members of
Congress.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
Christy, finishing a distinction without a difference
.
Okay, so let's, let's go aheadand go through this.
And is there a couple of ourmembers here from New Mexico?
Our two senators and then ChuckSchumer and, I believe,
elizabeth Warren.
So this is how they saw fit tokind of seed the field before
seeding the field, meaning, youknow issues.
They wanted to stick out therebefore Trump went and gave his
(10:59):
speech.
So here's how that came off,when they all put their videos
out.
Speaker 8 (11:13):
I will immediately bring prices down starting on
day one.
So here's how that came offwhen they all put their videos
out are going up.
Prices are not down, they're up.
Prices are up, not down.
Inflation is getting worse.
Inflation is getting worse.
Inflation is getting worse.
Speaker 4 (11:28):
Inflation is getting worse.
I love that they all have thesame microphone too.
Like do they hand out a littlekit.
The cost of groceries.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
Prices of eggs is up.
Prices of groceries is up.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
Cost of medical goods is up right now.
Speaker 5 (11:41):
Eggs of essential.
Speaker 8 (11:41):
Donald Trump has done nothing to lower costs for you.
Donald Trump has time to pardonthe guys who beat up the cops
at the Capitol.
Instead, he's pardoned violentcriminals who savagely beat
police officers.
Instead, he's pardoned violentcriminals who beat police
officers.
Okay, I think we get the point,but this is definitely just all
.
Speaker 4 (11:58):
it's just a, it's propaganda is what it kind of
feels like.
It feels like just an ad, right, so just like, hey, everybody
do this.
You know what this reminds meof?
When you ran for governor, theydid this whole ad about you
hating women and you killingwomen's rights and blah, blah,
blah, blah, blah.
And what was interesting ispeople thought these were New
(12:20):
Mexico people that were speakingagainst you, right, we found
out that that was a national adput out by the Democratic Party
that was running in severalstates, same by the Democratic
Party that was running inseveral states, same people.
They just put in whoever thecandidate was that was running
for that position and sayingthat that person was gonna kill
women and that person wasn'tgonna protect women's
reproductive rights and blah,blah, blah, blah, blah.
So this reminded me of that,that it's like this machine,
this marketing machine thattries to put these things out,
is it effective?
I think they look like bigphonies.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
Well, they do now because you remember, if you
were relying on the mainstreammedia to call this out, they
never would, they never would.
But we don't live in that worldanymore.
We live in a world where youhave Twitter and you have a
bunch of other media sourcesthat put this stuff together and
then they put it out.
So, all of a sudden, people areseeing different stuff than
(13:01):
they were before.
So they're not just watchingmainstream media, which would
never point this out, they wouldnever point out, but now they
do, because you have differentsources and it floods your.
It floods your ex you know feed, it floods your Facebook, it
floods all these differentthings where people say this is
crazy.
So what it requires is someactual creative thought in in
(13:22):
enough of the laziness and thisis just pure laziness and them
trying to stay on a message.
Now, political groups all thetime, both Democrat and
Republican put out talkingpoints.
Do it all the time.
It happens, right, but usuallyyou don't have a full on script
that you're reading off ateleprompter.
Speaker 4 (13:37):
With your microphone that you hold right here, it's
like a little kit showed up inthe mail for each, each rep
saying here, use this microphone.
Here's the script and this ishow you record yourself.
It was like these notes on it,it seemed, and I remember
vividly.
Going back to your campaign,I'm sorry to bring this up, but
I went after some of the newsstations and said fact check
this ad.
And nobody would do it.
Don't be crazy.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
But that's the point.
Things have changed now and so,because things have changed,
people's perception is changing,because the information they
receive changes, and so, as thathappens, what you see is most
normal people are like yeah,that's ridiculous, come on.
And then Elizabeth Warren, I'vegot to say she really right
from here.
She was from here every time weshould have given the Oscars
(14:17):
for this phony baloney marketingcampaign.
So it is, but, but I do think itjust shows you that.
It just shows you, in thesocial media age, things have
changed, and so when you don'thave a monopoly on the
information that people receive,turns out you're on equal
footing.
And when you're on equalfooting, things have turned out
to be a really rough for atleast the party right now out of
(14:40):
power.
And so when we saw Trump walkin after all of this, we saw
Trump walk into the chamber on aTuesday, and who knew, but our
very own Melanie Stansbury, andwe've talked about this before.
There are two types of peoplein Congress there are workhorses
and there are show horses, andthe ultimate show horse, melanie
(15:01):
Stansbury, has a sign that saysthis is not normal.
As Trump walks in.
Just a juvenile thing to do bean adult.
There are people in thiscountry that have real problems,
that want to know that theirrepresentatives care and are
doing something about it.
Holding up a handwritten signsaying this is not normal, like
like you just look unserious andunable to stand up for the job
(15:25):
that you have been elected for.
And to me, I just watched thatand watched her and rolled my
eyes and said she's gotten intothis world now where everybody
around her saying you go girl,you do this, you do that and
she's not realizing that she'sbecoming nothing more than a
show horse clown.
Don't do that, look.
If you want to stand up forwhat you believe in and you
think president Trump is wrong,make that point and make real
(15:49):
points that people care about.
But instead she is a show horsethat more often than not runs
to the cameras with inanestatements that don't advance
the lives of any American orespecially any new Mexican.
Speaker 4 (16:02):
I mean she's talked about that We'll have to boil
water because the Trump's goingto shut that down, Right?
She does ridiculous pictures infront of egg cartons in DC I'm
talking about, there's no eggsand they're so expensive and
blah, blah, blah, just dumbstuff.
And I'm like if you actuallyfollow the news on any of this,
(16:25):
you know that you're making,with martin heinrich coming out
yesterday saying he wasn't goingto attend I keep thinking
that's a smarter move than whatthey did, though give me a break
.
You're, it's your job to show up.
I'm sorry there's plenty ofpeople that sat through biden's
nonsense and showed up for it.
I'm sure there was people thatyou know.
Whatever I mean, remember thebig historical big scene that
was done by Republican back inObama days was calling him a
(16:47):
liar in this.
Remember that.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
And that was like well, and then Marjorie Taylor
Greene standing up and screamingit at Biden.
It was stupid.
And Biden made her look stupid,by the way, right, and so it
went up.
Speaker 4 (16:58):
I just think in general.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
I totally agree.
Grow up like you, take this jobseriously.
I totally agree.
Speaker 4 (17:02):
Grow up Like you, take this job seriously and I'm
sorry, whoever the president is,we clearly understand that you
don't support him.
I mean, you couldn't, we'll getto this, but you can't even
stand when you should bestanding and clapping Right Even
on normal human things youshould be standing and clapping
and they couldn't do that.
It just shows a major lack ofmaturity, I think.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
Well, agreed, I totally agree with you, and it
is one of those things thatkeeps getting worse Right, and
so it does not serve them well.
So, representative Al Green,from Texas, he just kept
screaming at Trump.
And again, if you're not in theroom you didn't hear this as
much from people that were inthe room were like it was
constant.
People were screaming at him,getting up and walking out stuff
(17:40):
that is just incrediblyjuvenile and it's got to stop.
And Al Green, now what did theydo?
Well, mike Johnson had the rulewaiting there and said if you
do this again, you know it'ssubject to rule X, y, z, we're
going to have to remove you.
All of a sudden, they removehim.
He looks stupid and Trumpdoesn't care.
Trump loves the environment andkeeps on going.
(18:03):
So this was just a speech thatplayed exactly into what Trump
is best at, which is theshowmanship, a mix of common
sense things that most peopleshouldn't and don't disagree on,
and then wrapping in humanstories that are impossible not
to be moved by.
So you take those two, unlessyou're Democrat.
(18:24):
Well, and that's what.
That's what doesn't.
Now, there are some Democrats afew who stood up here and there
, but for the most part, you'reright.
They all sat there and you, youliterally and we'll get into
this but you literally had a 13year old who's surviving cancer
stand up and applaud this youngman.
I mean, it's incredibly heartwrenching to watch this and he's
(18:44):
an adorable kid, right, and yousee the story.
I don't care if you don't likeTrump, who cares?
We're talking about the 13 yearold kid.
Now it is the brilliance ofwhat Trump did.
So he mixed humor, he mixedissues that are 80, 20 in his
favor and then he mixed humanstories.
That's what he did, and so thatif you're sitting there watching
that, stand up sometimes, juststand up and clap for the right
(19:04):
things and then when he goes andhammers your party, you can boo
him or whatever you want to do.
Like we all get it, it'spolitics.
But watching this, I want tohit on a few of these clips
because they are fascinating,and this first one to me was
classic Trump, because they tookthe issue of government waste
right, and the issue ofgovernment waste is again.
Issue of government waste isagain, and it's an 80 20 issue.
(19:25):
When you start listing offridiculous things we're spending
money on, normal americans saywhat the heck is going on here
right and the way trump does.
Speaker 9 (19:35):
This is very well done 45 million dollars for
diversity, equity and inclusionscholarships in Burma.
$40 million to improve thesocial and economic inclusion of
sedentary migrants Nobody knowswhat that is.
$8 million to promote LGBTQI+In the African nation of Lesotho
(20:00):
, which nobody has ever heard of.
$60 million for indigenouspeople, I plus in the African
nation of Lesotho, which nobodyhas ever heard of.
Okay, so I just for indigenouspeoples and Afro Colombian
empowerment in central America,$60 million.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
Okay, so there is.
So that's just.
It's funny because Trump isright.
No one's ever heard of that,you know so it's hilarious.
It's short, it's punchy.
Know so, it's hilarious, it'sshort, it's punchy, but it
connects.
Everybody's like yeah, what areyou sedentary migrants?
What are we talking about here?
Speaker 4 (20:31):
Right, agreed.
Yeah, I definitely think thathit home with a lot of people.
I think the touchy part withthis still is and we're not
going to dive into it right nowbut the touchy part is still
some of these federal firings,and are they being done, are
they being handled in the mostappropriate fashion?
And are you know, are you know?
Obviously the cuts do have tohappen, but we've talked about
(20:52):
previously on shows that theDoge does have to be careful
about how they manage some ofthis, because you don't want to
be just, you know, hacking awayat people that still deserve to
have their jobs or should bereviewed at least.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
Well, not only should be reviewed.
If it does have to happen, itneeds to happen in a
compassionate way that doesn'tturn this into a, a circus,
right.
When you saw, like you know,musk with and I think you know
musk is unbelievable, but whenhe shows up with a uh chainsaw,
it's like, yeah, okay, but thereare people losing their job.
So you know, and again, havesome respect right right, right.
(21:29):
So that's that.
But then the other.
The other area where this waswas very clear is on the border
another 80 20 issue, really,most people realizing the border
was out of control completelyand trump Trump did two things
here.
So the first one was talkingabout taking on the cartels.
Speaker 9 (21:46):
Territory to the immediate south of our border is
now dominated entirely bycriminal cartels that murder,
rape, torture and exercise totalcontrol.
They have total control over awhole nation, posing a grave
threat to our national security.
The cartels are waging war onAmerica and it's time for
(22:07):
America to wage war on thecartels, which we adore.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
Okay, I mean, that's the sort of stuff, and when
you're not standing for that andyou're just sitting there, you
know all of a sudden, whose sideare you on, right?
Yeah, the lines are clear.
Speaker 4 (22:18):
Yeah, I feel like you know this is to me.
And then going into this nextone really fast, when he's
talking about just the fact thatwe don't need a new law to
actually crack down on bordercrossings.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
This line was the line of the night.
I think it was the line of thenight.
Speaker 4 (22:29):
So let's play it really quickly before I say too
much.
Speaker 9 (22:31):
The media and our friends secure the border, but
it turned out that all we reallyneeded was a new president.
Speaker 4 (22:47):
I mean outstanding, outstanding point there.
Just that, to me, is why thisfelt so much more like a State
of the Union address in the factthat you know he basically, I
mean, I think what is it?
Ninety two percent lesscrossings now than happened in
you know the most recent things.
So it was like an actual, uh,real, um, you know six, seven
(23:08):
week point of reference that youdon't normally see right in
something like this speech.
So that's what I'm saying to me, that's where the that that you
can kind of see.
Okay, now he's giving realresults, which to me feels more
state of the union well.
I know he's not allowed to dothat right now, but no, no, no,
no, but agreed it could.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
That's absolutely the same sort of speech.
But I agree with you.
You make a great point, whichis usually two results take
longer than this, right?
You look at it and go, okay,I've got a new plan in place.
It's going to take a while forit to work, like he's going to
have to say on tariffs, becausetariffs are going to be a
concern, right, and so you knowif there could be some pain
involved with this or whatever,right People forget.
(23:50):
Early on in the Reaganadministration his popularity
went down significantly rightafter the election and it took a
couple of years.
He got smoked in the 82midterms and then everything
took off, because everythingReagan did started to work Right
.
Well, trump, with the borderpolicy, especially that one,
just in the snap of a fingerchanged it just showed that the
will was not there for Biden.
It was disingenuous everythinghe was doing.
So now you realize Trump sayswe're going to, we're going to
(24:13):
block things down and messagingmatters, right, the messaging
that people get and thatmigrants get in other parts of
the world, that messagingmatters from the president of
the United States.
And if the president says, look, you can't come in here and do
it this way.
You have to do it legally.
They listen in some cases now.
Sometimes they don't, but butoverall you can see those total
numbers backing way off.
Speaker 4 (24:33):
Right, Okay, so another uh true Trumpism came at
a shot against Elizabeth Warren.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
Well, it was yeah.
So he's talking about theUkraine war and you know what
are we going to do with theUkraine war?
He did read a statement fromZelensky saying I want to.
I want to make peace, right.
So this has been a hugeadjustment.
Everybody on Friday freaks out.
I can't believe Trump andZelensky.
They end up.
And what did we say on the show?
He said it doesn't matter.
There is one thing that matters, and that is Trump is the only
(25:02):
path to peace for Zelensky.
It's just true, it's just theway it is right now.
And so Trump trying to playboth ends against the middle, I
think more than some people arecomfortable with with Russia,
and I think some of the rhetorichas been a little too
Russia-friendly, I think too.
But at the same time, you'retrying to negotiate a deal
(25:22):
between those two and Zelenskynow has realized I've got to
work this deal, we've got towork the rare earth minerals
deal and we've got to end thisfight.
Ok, we've got to finish thisoff.
Well, trump starts talkingabout this and Democrats start
start clapping about the aid andwanting more aid for the
Ukraine.
And Trump's basic point on thisis to what end?
To what end?
Like we just keep going andpeople keep dying.
(25:44):
And so then, as you mentioned,what does he do?
Speaker 4 (25:48):
Well, I mean, I think he said you know what are we
going to do?
Keep this war going for fivemore years.
And then you could see they cutto Elizabeth Warren who was
clapping like, yeah, let's keepthis thing going.
And he's like of course, thisis what you're going to say, but
he says it in a Trump way, do?
Speaker 9 (26:11):
you want to keep it going for another five years?
Yeah, yeah, you would say.
Pocahontas says yes.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
Pocahontas says yes.
Speaker 4 (26:25):
Okay, okay, explain the Pocahontas for those people
who don't understand.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
So he refers to her as that because at one point she
said she was of Native Americanheritage, which I think is
largely untrue.
She may be of the slightest, Idon't know, but but she
basically put on some sort ofapplication form that she was
Native American.
Right and so, therefore, trumpgrabbed the the Pocahontas
reference and and referred toher with that.
But but again, his bigger pointis this is again the bigger
point is Trump's the guystanding for peace and she's
(26:59):
crapping for more war.
Right, it's just a terribleplace to be.
Speaker 4 (27:02):
He also did say, like listen, we're sick of the young
people from both sides dying,right From Ukraine and from
Russia dying, and so you know weneed to end this, and we need
to end it now.
And if those of you that don'twant it to end you're still
clapping, I just it's again.
It's just like common sensewould tell you?
What are you?
What are you clapping forElizabeth?
Speaker 1 (27:22):
Like what I don't understand, I guess, and I do
think we should have givenUkraine help.
I look at we may disagree.
There are plenty of Republicanswho don't think we should have
given them it.
Well, so what then?
So then Russia sweeps acrossUkraine and has all of Ukraine
right now.
I don't agree with that.
I don't.
And I'm sorry if there are somerepublicans like, oh, we should
have never been involved, okay,then we go.
Then all ukraine's gone andthey're on the border of poland,
(27:44):
okay, I just think that's notright either.
So so I don't think that the uswas wrong to help.
I do not think that at all.
So so I you know whatever.
You cannot like that.
If you know whatever, that'sfine, but you know again.
But I agree with you then.
But now that's not where are?
So we're at a stalemate in awar, that's just.
It's going to be a meat grinder, right, if we continue to help
(28:05):
Ukraine and Russia continues topush.
Just people are going to die.
So you're going to try to fixthis.
And again, zelensky now saysall right, well, let's talk
about this.
Speaker 4 (28:13):
Now I'm ready.
Yeah.
Which makes a Another bigmoment I felt like was a lot of
the military conversations Right.
Not only did he address PeteHegseth, as you know, taking on
things, things of that nature,he really came back around to
this whole Afghanistan.
You know us pulling out ofAfghanistan the 13 Marines who
died.
Speaker 1 (28:34):
Well, yeah, yeah.
The Abbey Gate Right, and thetheme here was more so that
because Trump's president, nowthings have happened Right.
So there was the Russian rightthe guy who was in a Russian
prison and brought his95-year-old mom, and Trump said
I'm going to get you out ofthere.
He told the 95-year-old motherI'm going to get your son home.
He did it Right.
(28:54):
The situation with the borderhe said I'm going to fix it.
He did it.
With the border he said I'mgoing to fix it.
He did it.
And then the Abbey Gatesituation.
We don't know what happenedwith that.
We didn't have any arrests onwhat happened.
Biden said we're going to chaseyou to the ends of the earth
and catch the people who didthis.
We didn't get a single one.
So now Trump announces in thespeech hey, we've got some of
the people who did this andthey're on their way, flying
back to the United States as wespeak.
(29:16):
And here's what that soundedlike Our country.
Speaker 9 (29:19):
Tonight I am pleased to announce that we have just
apprehended the top terroristresponsible for that atrocity,
and he is right now on his wayhere to face the swift sword of
American justice.
Speaker 4 (29:34):
Yeah, I think he just kind of showed up with receipts
last night.
It was a receipt speech.
It was here's what I'm doing.
Here's what I said I would doand here's what I've done so far
.
And, by the way, ps, I've beenin office for six weeks or seven
weeks, so I think that was areally good approach for whoever
helped write this speech andkind of piece this thing
together and put the rightpeople in the audience and
(29:55):
really kind of bring that allhome.
Another thing this is againjust Trump calling people like
he calls them, and I thinkthere's a lot of people out
there that just want somebodyauthentic and he obviously
doesn't hold back.
Sometimes maybe he should, butin this particular approach I
thought good for you for sayingthis, because he called the
democratic party out, forbasically, you know, like hey, I
(30:19):
could basically cure things uphere and it's not going to make
any difference.
They're still not going to likeme and they're going to sit in
their seats.
So take a listen to this one.
I think this was the right wayof handling it, honestly.
Speaker 9 (30:31):
This is my fifth such speech to Congress and once
again I look at the Democrats infront of me and I realize there
is absolutely nothing I can sayto make them happy or to make
them stand or smile or applaud.
Nothing I can do.
I could find a cure to the mostdevastating disease, a disease
(30:54):
that would wipe out entirenations, or announce the answers
to the greatest economy inhistory or the stoppage of crime
to the lowest levels everrecorded, and these people
sitting right here will not clap, will not stand and certainly
will not cheer for theseastronomical achievements.
(31:15):
They won't do it, no matterwhat.
Five times I've been up here.
It's very sad and it justshouldn't be this way it's.
Speaker 1 (31:25):
It's a super smart approach because of the way they
acted and they and they andthey, they did this in a way
that made them an easy targetfor it.
And and remember that line hasto be written well before he
ever goes into that room.
He has to know like, forexample, if Democrats are
regularly standing andapplauding for different things,
that line doesn't work right.
(31:46):
But he knew they wouldn't.
Speaker 4 (31:48):
Yeah, he knew they wouldn't do it.
Speaker 1 (31:49):
And he knew the playbook they were going to
follow.
They were going to try thewhole resist thing, the science
thing, the walkout thing, thestand up and scream thing we
wear pink things.
Speaker 4 (31:55):
Yeah, absolutely.
Speaker 1 (31:56):
Absolutely and whatever it is, and not standing
for simple things that showyour humanity means that you
leave yourself open tobroadsides where you look like
nothing but opposition.
Whatever he's for, I'm against.
And when you're acting that way, you end up on the 20 side of
an 80-20 issue.
Speaker 4 (32:15):
He keeps doing it to them and they keep walking into
the wood chipper it's amazingand I want to just mention this
because I know we didn't doanything on this on the show,
but this really bothered me thisweek that the fact that the
Democrats basically tabled anyvote to bring into law the
rights for women in sports, thefact that they couldn't get that
across.
You know when that is an 80 20issue, when the people that you
(32:37):
are representing are againstthis issue, one entirely vote to
basically say they don't getenough votes to say that they're
willing to put this up as abill.
Right, so it's, it's, it's done.
Speaker 1 (32:49):
The Senate killed it.
Is that who killed it?
Speaker 4 (32:50):
Yeah it's.
I just know it was sittingDemocrats.
I don't know if it was Senate.
Speaker 1 (32:53):
Yeah, I think it had to be, I think it was Senate,
yeah, yeah, so they needed 60votes, they, they needed 60
votes, they needed 60 votes.
Speaker 4 (32:58):
I think they got 51, if I recall right.
So not enough to push forward,to go forward with a bill, right
?
Because you have enoughDemocrats in there that say,
because this is Trump's idea,I'm not.
I mean, even though my peopleback my constituents, this is
what they want I'm going to voteagainst it.
And I just think how tone deafare they when they do things
like that Now this is anexecutive order, right?
(33:19):
They do things like that Nowthis is an executive order,
right?
That's.
All this is is an executiveorder, and if another president
decides to overturn this, theycan.
You know, and that's what's sodisappointing about this is that
this is an issue thatabsolutely should have been
dealt with, and I, I'm I just donot understand it.
Speaker 1 (33:32):
So I know that it's a very fair point, but it but it
it does show you that the howoff balance they are right now.
And so I want to get into someof these other a couple other
people that Trump called up insome magical moments because it
was unbelievable.
And so there's a little boy inthe crowd, 13-year-old DJ Daniel
(33:54):
, and he had cancer from a veryyoung age, Started back in 2018.
He was given five months tolive, and now we're seven years
later and he's still there andhe wants to be a police officer
and he has been sworn in as apolice officer in his hometown.
But, but Trump had anotherthing up his sleeve for him.
He wanted to be secret service,and so they they made him a
(34:16):
secret service agent, with thehead of the secret service there
to present him with this.
And if you didn't watch this andstart to have your allergies
get to you, then you're just not.
You don't have a heartbeat,right?
It's totally sweet, so checkthis out.
And then there's the head ofthe secret service standing next
to him and he gives him a bighug I mean, that's organic, that
(34:38):
just happens, right?
I mean that isn't something youcan plan for and jumping into
the arms of the head of thesecret service and saying thank
you very much, and his dad therewith him.
I mean again, you could havestood right here, you could have
stood.
Speaker 4 (34:52):
The fact that you're a Democrat and you sit there and
say I'm not going to stand upfor whatever reason.
And this is a 13 year old boythat is dealt with brain cancer.
For I mean really, yeah.
And this is a 13 year old boythat is dealt brain cancer.
For I mean really, yeah, that'swhat you're going to die on
that Hill.
You're going to sit on thatHill and you're like, nope, I'm
not going to clap for this one.
Speaker 1 (35:06):
Yep.
Speaker 4 (35:07):
Really, because because who?
The people that you, you've allmet with over coffee, have
decided we're not going to clapone time, we're not going to
stand.
They made this like code ofhonor to like.
Speaker 1 (35:18):
But again he's walking them into the wood
chipper.
Speaker 4 (35:20):
They're just like here I come, heartless.
Another one, too, was whenTrump announced that Jason
Hartley is going to get toattend West Point, and his dad
was an LA County Sheriff, Ibelieve and died in the line of
fire, right.
Speaker 1 (35:31):
Something like that, yep.
Speaker 4 (35:32):
And he really wants to go to West Point.
Speaker 1 (35:35):
Yes.
Speaker 4 (35:36):
And so he saved the moment for this speech, that he
invited him as a guest, and thenhe announces that he did in
fact get in.
Speaker 1 (35:43):
He did, and so, all of a sudden, jason's thrilled,
right.
But here's the thing that'samazing about this is that not
only this, we're going to showyou a clip after Jason finds out
and everybody's clapping forhim, right?
Oh my gosh, this kid gets to goto West Point.
He's going to be a greatsoldier.
This is amazing.
But look who comes and giveshim a hug after the announcement
(36:06):
, or a high five, sorry it's alittle, dj Daniel comes over and
it's like that's an organicmoment that nobody plans for
nobody has any idea.
And all of a sudden, little DJgoes over and go yeah man, I'm a
secret service agent, you'regoing to West Point.
I mean just you have to.
(36:26):
The stage craft of this andthen the organic stuff that
springs out of the stage craftis truly amazing.
Speaker 4 (36:34):
Very patriotic and I and you know Trump used that as
a way to talk about the factthat recruitment and military
has gone up since January.
So I just think it was a sweetmoment.
This is master communication.
Speaker 1 (36:43):
It really is, and I did want to play one quick clip
for those of you on the DJ thing, because before he stood up and
they did everything, he did alittle video that the white
house put out and I just wantyou to listen to him and
everything that he's beenthrough and what he's doing and
just to give you an idea thatthis is a special little boy.
Speaker 3 (37:05):
My dad was calling my name and I started going to the
slow thing and he said stopplaying with me.
And I started to act slow andthen, as soon as he said that we
were speeding all the way,running lights, going to the
hospital and then next thing youknow, I was seizing on the
table they said, no, we're goingto have to go on his brain
tonight.
Ever since then, I had 13 brainsurgeries, and that's how many
(37:27):
times my personality has changed, and that's something that you
don't hear from a terminally illchild.
They have five months to live.
I'm going to keep on going intomy gas tanks right now and
that's when God calls you home.
You never know when God's goingto call you home.
I wouldn't be here if it wasn'tfor my dad.
I know he's pretty proud of meand I'm pretty proud of him too,
and I'd like to thank PresidentTrump because if it wasn't for
(37:49):
him, I wouldn't be here today.
It's incredibly sweet.
Speaker 4 (37:53):
Very sweet kid.
Unfortunately, though, we havesome people in the media that
had to twist this into somethingjust inappropriate.
Speaker 1 (38:02):
When you have nowhere to go and you all you know is
vicious opposition in in, thenyou always find a way to try to
twist the knife.
The problem is you end uplooking like a ghoul when you do
it Right.
And this is Nicole Wallace.
After watching that on MSNBC.
Speaker 6 (38:21):
That that you let yourself feel and I let myself
feel joy about DJ and I hopehe's alive for another.
You know 95 years and I hope helives the life he wants to live
.
He wants to be a cop, he knowswhat he wants to do and maybe
when you have childhood cancerthat crystallizes for you and I
(38:42):
hope he has a long life as a lawenforcement officer.
But I hope he never has todefend the United States Capitol
against Donald Trump'ssupporters and if he does, I
hope he isn't one of the six wholoses his life to suicide and I
hope he isn't one who has totestify against the people who
carried out acts of seditiousconspiracy and then live to see
Donald Trump pardon those people.
Speaker 1 (39:03):
Yeah, I mean just incredibly inappropriate and an
awful thing in an awful momentto bring it up.
But again, when your whole lifeis centered around a political
fight, you turn into a monsterof sorts, because you give
cursory tip of the cap to theemotion and then you go back in
and you try to plunge the knifein again.
(39:24):
You're not hurting Donald Trumpwith this.
You're making yourself lookstupid and you're making
yourself look like an absolutemonster, and it's just stop.
Speaker 4 (39:33):
And the fact that her colleagues didn't call her out
on that?
Speaker 1 (39:35):
No, she never would.
They never would, I just thinkhow inappropriate.
Speaker 4 (39:38):
They should have never let that hit air.
Speaker 1 (39:45):
MSNBC says some stuff that is flabbergasting to me,
and again, look at the numbersthey're all collapsing, okay.
So again Trump's got plenty ofproblems ahead with the economy,
which we've talked about, andthis is going to be very tricky
with what happens with.
Now it looks like there couldbe a deal on tariffs coming up
that it won't be as bad withwith Mexico and and and Canada.
We'll see what ends uphappening, but there's a lot of
economic problems out there.
It's scary.
Speaker 4 (40:05):
Why would they not just focus on things like that
Right, right Pulling in withthis kid and then just, you know
, I don't know, I just felt likeit was so inappropriate.
I was gassed when I saw it seenwaters.
Yeah, so she's.
You know, she's a little shejust seems unhinged.
Speaker 1 (40:25):
Honestly, when you watch this video, you're like
what again?
Another wrong, another again.
Trump just forces them offsides.
Speaker 7 (40:29):
Every time, every time awful and I really did not
like the way he used the tragicuh incidents and the families
that were there who, of ofcourse, appreciated you know
what they think is theirpresident caring about what
happened, you know, to the 12year old and to others who were
(40:51):
victims, and we all feel sad andbad for them, but he misused
them.
He misused them and what he didwas he focused on them instead
of focusing on the real issuesthat we're dealing with now.
Speaker 1 (41:05):
Okay, listen, ma'am.
First off, this is politics,and to drive stories home with
personal anecdotes is absolutelythe single most effective way
to move policy in the history ofthe world right, connect a
human story to it, and so to sitthere and be like how could you
do that?
It's just, it just is.
(41:26):
It's, it's political clownery.
We all know that, okay, andthat that stuff happens.
So you see, someone like Maxinewaters, who's for a long time
heck, she stood up and said goconfront people you know that
voted for Trump and that are inthe Trump administration.
She said go physically confrontthem.
She said that before.
So stop with with this routine.
Speaker 3 (41:45):
And I'm sorry, both sides during these speeches,
they all do this, they all bringin real people.
Speaker 4 (41:51):
The fact that it was disappointing too is, I feel,
like saying hey, maxine, why didthe Democrats not stand when
they just addressed Lake andRiley's mom, who was there?
Like you lose a daughter,you're a parent in there, that
was his first bill that he'sgotten signed into law.
He was, you know, the Lake andRiley bill.
Speaker 1 (42:08):
Another promise that he kept.
Speaker 4 (42:10):
Yeah, and he gets signed in, and so they address
her, and he addresses her andhas her stand in the in the
Democrats in their seat and theycannot clap.
Shockingly enough, meghanMcCain was uh well.
Speaker 1 (42:22):
Meghan McCain has definitely changed her tune to
where she is.
I think there's been somebridges built between Meghan
McCain and the Trumpadministration.
Really, yes, absolutely Okay.
Well, this is her tweet.
Speaker 4 (42:31):
So she shows here that she says shame on all the
Democrats who wouldn't stand forLake and Riley's mom.
Her daughter was murdered.
You ghouls, we see you, andit's just a matter of.
I've had some conversations onX lately with even fellow
Republicans, and we've talkedabout the fact that the
divisiveness on our side, whatwe're capable of ending Right,
(42:51):
what we need to do to helpbridge that gap, is to stop
making fake attacks or weirdattacks or picking on things
that maybe aren't as big of adeal.
Stick to policy and and at thesame point it's like be human
Right.
And then you look at theDemocrats on the other side that
can't stand for DJ Daniel,can't stand up for Lake and
Riley's mom.
Where is your heart Like?
(43:13):
Have you gotten so divided andso focused on your, your stance
that you've lost any humanconnectivity?
Speaker 1 (43:21):
I just it definitely, and it doesn't even serve their
own purpose as well.
Right, that's the thing.
That's.
It's amazing.
So it doesn't.
It doesn't serve their purposeas well either.
So that's why, at some point,they've got to re, they've got
to get their footing again,because they don't have it right
now.
No, there's no question.
And but I'll tell you it wasinteresting watching major
Garrett talk about this.
He's a CBS news commentator anda reporter and, again, this is
(43:44):
not a compliment to Trump whathe's about to say, but he's just
properly assessing where thingsare right now and, after
watching this speech, listeninstead of piling on and saying,
oh there were so many things Ididn't like that.
He actually has the right takeon this for someone who is in
the mainstream media, who can'tseem to figure out what's
happening.
At least Major Garrett seems tohave figured this part out.
Speaker 5 (44:05):
So I've learned to be humble about analyzing speeches
like this, because the countryoften catches on to things that
those of us in Washington mightnot sift the way the country
does.
When the president listedthings that he thought were
extravagant examples of wastefulspending, those of us around
this table might say, well,that's not going to be enough,
even if you cut all that, tobalance the budget, which is
$840 billion out of balance.
(44:27):
But Americans will hear it andsay, wait a minute, those things
sound wasteful.
To me Sounds like Elon Musk andthe president are on to
something.
There was also tremendousemotive power in several parts
of the speech that I think willresonate across the country.
Whether it's Lake and Riley,slain her mother and sister, or
Mark and his mother, malfeenFogle, rescued or brought back
(44:47):
from Russia, or a Border Patrolagent, roberto Ortiz, or
Stephanie Diller, the survivingspouse of a slain New York City
police officer, those thingscarry emotional weight, not only
in the moment but probablyinevitably in the pass around
social media dissection of thisspeech.
I keep my eyes and ears tunedto emotional moments like that
(45:08):
that often jump over theinstantaneous Beltway analysis.
Speaker 1 (45:17):
Yeah, and it's yeah, yeah.
And so you saw plenty of CNNmelting down over everything and
Scott Jennings going fightingback and everything else that
you always see on CNN.
You see the MSNBC reaction,which is off the charts, but
again, those don't tend to land.
So a couple of different thingshere.
First of all, cbs did a snappoll right after the speech.
What do think the numberslooked like?
Speaker 4 (45:32):
well, I thought it was kind of um shocking actually
.
I mean, I obviously we see ourside of the issue.
We're like, yeah, applaudingcertain parts of that speech,
but to see this kind of approvalrating um across the board well
on a cbs poll.
Well, I about fainted.
Speaker 1 (45:48):
Well, so there are.
Here are the numbers right here, and it is 76 percent viewed
this speech, approved of it, 23disproved.
Now remember, you gotta rememberyou've got a weighted audience
a little bit because people whotend to support the president of
either party who gives thesespeeches they tend to watch the
most right, okay all right, butstill 76 23 is a big time number
(46:09):
, like I don't I don't carewho's watching the speech 76, 23
, because you still have atleast probably 30 to 40 percent
of people that did not vote forTrump at all in this poll.
So that did well.
And then something else that'skind of interesting here, second
part of the poll 63 percentsaid Trump spent time on issues
that they care about a lot.
Sixty three percent that's goodspeech.
(46:31):
Writing, that's dialing in andknowing what you're dealing with
.
28% said that he talked alittle bit about it and then
only 9% said he talked nothingat all about it.
So when you talk for two hours,you're about most of the things
.
It was a long, long speech, andit wasn't only CBS, it was also
CNN, who did a poll as wellright after, and here's what
they came up with the results.
Speaker 8 (46:51):
What was your reaction to Trump's speech?
44 percent of speech watchersin our instant poll tonight say
they had a very positivereaction to Trump's speech.
25 percent somewhat positive.
31 percent negative.
Speaker 1 (47:05):
That's a big number.
That's 69 percent.
Ok, that's an important number.
So, overall, here look andwe've said this on prior shows,
we're going to continue to sayit there are massive challenges
ahead for trump.
There is no doubt.
If the economy, if we don't geton solid footing with the
economy and prices don't comedown over the next year, at
least got a year.
To be honest, I don't thinkit's going to be one of these
(47:26):
deals where you know they'regoing after him after six.
Speaker 4 (47:28):
Six weeks is ridiculous right, I mean, it's
blaming him for the egg prices,right, right, I mean it's crazy
Blaming him for the egg price isstill so stupid.
Speaker 1 (47:33):
Right right right, it's too early for that, but at
the same time you know like whenyou start piling up tariffs and
stuff and that is going to pushprices up some.
You know it's not that youdon't need to deal with this,
and he did say there could besome rough times.
Speaker 4 (47:45):
Yeah, With the stock market especially too.
Speaker 1 (47:47):
That's one area, that's really we're feeling it.
So by no means is this like allrainbows and everything, but it
was just one of these days whereyou saw someone who is in his
second term but had four yearsto prepare and absolutely laid a
bear trap and the other sidejumped right into it head first.
And the question is, how longdo they continue to do this
(48:10):
before they realize there's athere's?
There's going to have to be abetter way, and I will say the
democratic response to this fromslot can, from Michigan.
Her delivery was better, Likeshe felt, you know, kind of that
middle of the country, more ofa normalcy.
Now the problem is that herparty doesn't tend to follow
that path, right.
So so you see her give thisspeech.
(48:31):
You're like, yeah, that sounds,I understand what you're saying
, Like she would critique himsome and you'd be like, okay, I
understand where she's comingfrom and it's a more effective
critique.
But at the same time, I thinkwhat you can largely anticipate
is her own party's going toignore that approach, Like
there's not going to do it.
Speaker 4 (48:48):
If they keep staying on this path, though, I just
think they continue to pushtheir, their party, farther and
farther, farther left, wherepeople leave people behind, and
I just think I don't know.
I don't know if that means thatthere's a big shift to the
independent party, I don't knoweither, or if something goes
wrong.
Speaker 1 (49:04):
Right in, Trump encounters problems.
Where does the electorate go?
Right, Because if you look atthe other side, they're like no,
but you know, we used to alwaysget frustrated on the
Republican side when you, duringthe Obama years and even
somewhat during the Biden years,when you'd see policy just go
off the rails, You're like whyis everybody not flooding to the
Republican side?
Because if people don't feellike they can trust you and your
party isn't welcoming them inwith common sense policies, you
(49:28):
don't get all those voters right.
Those voters just kind of floatout in the ether and sometimes
they'll just kind of go alongfor a while and you don't see a
shift.
So Republicans need to makesure they don't overreach and
they keep very close tabs on theeconomy and continue to handle
things, especially when you'retalking about, you know, taking
government spending and bringingit down and then getting rid of
waste, fraud and abuse, doingthat in a way that is not only
(49:50):
effective but also understandingthe gravity of that moment.
And then I think it's going tobe very interesting, but it was
quite a day for Trump.
There's no doubt that this wasa very different speech, One of
the best I've ever seen him get.
Speaker 4 (50:01):
Right, I think it's a speech we'll remember for a
long time, honestly.
But okay, that does it for usfor right now, for this little
recap.
We appreciate you joining usand we will be back later on in
the week with a new show.

The no doubt about it Podcastis a choose adventure media
(50:37):
production.
See you next time on.
No doubt about it.
Speaker 1 (50:42):
There is no doubt about it.
We can say uh.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
You and I are told increasingly we have to choose
between a left or right.
Well, I'd like to suggest thereis no such thing as a left or
right.
There's only an up or down.
This is the no Doubt About it.
Podcast.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
No doubt about it Now your hosts Christy and Mark
Runcany.
Sometimes you got to stand upand take responsibility.
Speaker 4 (00:35):
I mean, you do, I know usually let's just dive
right on in, because we don'thave a lot of time today.
We don't, we don't.
We're going to do rapid reacts.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
Yes, To Trump's speech, which was for the ages,
in many different ways, but no,I.
Usually we have the kids helpwriting the email that we put
out.
Okay, and I know you didn'trealize this, but I may have
taken over the email the lastone we sent out and in my haste
(01:04):
to try and continue my war withthe North American beaver, I
mentioned the beaver as thelargest rodent and apparently we
had a.
We had a someone write in andsay, hey, they're not the
largest rodent and you thoughtthe girls did it and it was me.
Speaker 5 (01:22):
And I would never do that.
I know the largest rodent.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
Well, I know that you do.
Speaker 5 (01:27):
I know that.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
But I'm going to say this yeah, I have stood next to
a capybara, I have stood next tomultiple beavers, alive, and
those that met their end.
Yes, and let me tell yousomething, the beaver is bigger.
Okay, I'm just saying it rightnow.
The little capybara that we sawin Mexico, no, that was like a
(01:49):
baby.
That thing was tiny.
I'm telling you right now I'veseen some beavers that are
massive.
Okay, and I stand by that.
The North American beaver,whether it is actually official
or not, is not only a rodent,but it is a massive rodent and a
destructive rodent.
Speaker 4 (02:05):
Okay, well, this woman was just wanting to
clarify with our email.
This is a mistake.
Speaker 5 (02:10):
I would never make.
So I just, I just want to makesure my name isn't tarnished,
because I've known since I waslike seven that the capybara was
the largest rodent.
Speaker 4 (02:17):
How could you, how dare you?
Well, I honestly, you guys helpus write the email.
So I assume, yeah, I honestly,you guys help us write the email
.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
So I know, I know, mom, I appreciate you trying to
trying to deflect and give me apass on that.
It was me, it was me, I, uh, Idid, but again I stand by the
mistake.
Let me just say that.
Speaker 4 (02:33):
Okay, let me just say that I'm not backing away from
the mistake down on your beaverheight and weight.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
Yes, Weight and and destructive power.
Speaker 4 (02:41):
Oh, they're nightmares, but anyway, okay,
let's move on.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
Yes, okay.
Speaker 4 (02:44):
I got things I got to do today we're actually
recording this pretty earlywhich?
Is good for us, but yes, Okay,so we've got some comments we
want to dive in really fast andI'll get your take on those.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
Yeah, yeah, yeah Comments.
And then we're going to talkabout the speech on Tuesday
night, which was basically actedas a state of the union, and it
was like none we've ever seenof the union, and it was like
none we've ever seen.
Speaker 4 (03:03):
So we'll get through that.
Well, because normally a stateof the union address you're kind
of a new president.
You haven't done a whole lot insix weeks.
This one was a little different.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
Well, you can't have a state of the union if you've
only been president for sixweeks, too, it's not allowed.
So it's a joint address toCongress, right?
But a lot of times, with apresident that's back in again,
it would be a State of the Union, right?
Right, because he'snon-consecutive, right?
It's considered just a jointaddress to Congress.
Right, so but yeah and this washis fifth one, right, because he
had the four before and thenthis one.
(03:33):
So you would have thought youknow, you knew how to deal with
Trump coming in, and it turnsout, no, no, turns out, no.
Speaker 4 (03:39):
Turns.
We're getting into that, butlet's get to a couple of these
really quickly.
Yeah, so Renee says I disagreewith your assessment of the AZ
governor's race as someone wholives in Arizona.
Karen Robeson does not have agood reputation here, whereas
Andy Biggs does.
Robeson is known as a McCainRepublican who runs for office
on her husband's dime.
It will be an interestingprimary for sure.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
Okay, renee.
Here's the thing I would sayabout that.
Renee, the reason I disagreewith you is because Karen Taylor
Robeson has Donald Trump'sendorsement.
Okay, when she ran againstCarrie Lake for the nomination
for governor.
In what?
2020?
Okay, or is it 2022?
2022.
When she ran in 2022,.
She did not In the world'slongest primary, in the world's
(04:21):
longest primary, because youguys in Arizona don't vote until
August in your primary, whichis ludicrous, insane ridiculous.
But anyway, she did not haveTrump's endorsement and so even
without Trump's endorsement, shecame within five points of Lake
.
Okay, Karen Taylor Robeson isgoing to roll with Trump's
endorsement because she's goingto have more money and, by the
way, she's pretty accomplishedperson on her own.
(04:42):
So I understand that herhusband has done very well, but
she's done very well too.
So a little unfair there to sayshe's living off his dime.
But I will just say this WithTrump's endorsement, renee, I
think that's what changes thisand that's why the whole
Republican purity test thatcould hurt her in some cases.
It won't hurt her in this case.
With Trump's endorsement, shewill be unbeatable.
Speaker 4 (05:03):
And in a state like Arizona, that Trump endorsement
helps her very much.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
So, in any Republican primary.
It helps you right In anyRepublican but doesn't
necessarily help you in anelection not in the general
election Right Right, but itwill help her in both in this
particular case.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
Right In Arizona.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
Yep For sure, okay.
Speaker 4 (05:20):
L Davis says, and I like this one.
I just had to read this onebecause we talked about I should
be polled as a potentialcandidate in our last show.
I think Christy would be abreath of fresh air and you can
still be a team.
Have you seen MLG?
She's a flaming idiot.
Speaker 7 (05:34):
Christy is knowledgeable and not afraid to
share her thoughts.
Speaker 4 (05:38):
L Davis, thank you so much, You're so kind.
I think there were some morecomments.
They said you should run forgovernor.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
I should be your AG.
Oh Lord, oh my goodness,Putting you in a courtroom.
Well, all you're going to do isquote a few good men.
Oh, I love it.
Speaker 4 (05:51):
Yeah, I can play one.
Hey, I'm not an attorney, I canjust play one on TV.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
I think they meant LG .
I don't need you as Lieutenantgovernor, I can promise you that
.
Speaker 4 (06:03):
Oh, I'd be a heck of a Lieutenant governor.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
No, you wouldn't you just back down.
You would be grabbing themicrophone I become the governor
and I'm like hey everybody.
No, you'd become the governor,and then you would not let me
back in the state.
I'd be like Mark is out.
Speaker 4 (06:14):
I'm in everybody.
No, I think the bulk of thesentiment is we've got a mess in
Santa Fe, right?
And people just want commonsense and I think they listen to
us and they're like these twojust make good common sense, so
don't be offended, Mark.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
No, no, no, no, and you would be a great elected
official.
I do believe that it's justthat half the time there'd be a
cleanup on aisle seven.
I mean, it would just be like,oh my gosh you know, somebody,
somebody, somebody fire up thestate constitution.
I'm pretty sure we have aconstitutional crisis on our
hands.
Speaker 4 (06:49):
So, okay, if you think I can't handle what I say,
sir.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
Oh, believe me, I've lived it.
Speaker 4 (06:55):
You.
Well, this is a marriage Iwould not do that?
I would not do that at thestate Capitol, you fool.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
I gotta be honest with you.
You cross over lanes of trafficlike no one I've ever seen.
Speaker 4 (07:07):
Hey, just because I can't drive doesn't mean I can't
be a good elected leader.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
It's a metaphor.
Speaker 8 (07:12):
Okay, I'm talking about literally, I am not a good
driver.
So well, that's true too.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
But you swerve over and you, you, you cover
different issues crossways.
Speaker 4 (07:25):
I mean it turns in.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
I do love doing in, but I still I do think you could
be great.
Oh, thanks so much.
No, I mean that.
No, I mean all right.
Speaker 4 (07:29):
Anyway, we're moving on, everybody, we're moving on.
Okay, Uh, junk Jack says.
I disagree with both of you onthe baby leave benefit.
For my experience usingpaternity leave at a previous
job, it was an incrediblebenefit.
It took all 12 weeks, whichturned out to be a blessing.
My wife was on doctor-orderedbed rest and I got valuable
one-on-one time with my firstchild, helped the family caught
up on house projects and evenbuilt extra savings through side
(07:51):
hustles.
This was all possible becausethe leave was company-funded.
I do understand concerns abouttax burdens on businesses,
especially the smaller ones.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
Yeah, no, I absolutely understand that too,
because, look, you're talkingabout two different things,
though in that email, right,you're talking about the private
funding of this.
For example, when we worked forNexstar, which owns KRQE, they
would give you a certain amountof money to be able to do the
same thing, which is very niceand a great thing to do.
I think it's a killer thing todo.
In fact, it should be a sellingpoint that a lot of these
(08:20):
companies use when they try tohire people.
A lot of these companies usewhen they try to hire people.
She'd say look, our family leavepolicy is really aggressive and
we give you a really goodopportunity to do exactly what
you're talking about, junk Jack.
I think it's great, but to sitthere and go to every New Mexico
small business and say we'regoing to tax you perhaps the
largest tax increase in statehistory and put another thing on
(08:41):
your back that you can't afford, that doesn't work.
So just because it's a goodidea and we want to see people
do it, especially by their ownvolition, forcing small
businesses to do it that don'thave the ability to do it is not
the right solution.
So the state foisting that onsmall business owners.
That's the killer in this wholething.
It isn't the policy itself.
Speaker 4 (09:01):
Okay, All right.
Well, let's dive in, becauselast night's we wanted to record
.
Actually, last night I think ifwe had looked a little better
you know I was- you know I tooka good.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
I took one look at you and was like no.
Speaker 4 (09:13):
I took one look at myself and said, no.
I was like, no, we can't dothat.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
We could put a slate up for us and then we just talk.
Speaker 4 (09:24):
I'll do all kinds of reports if I don't have to be on
camera.
Speaker 3 (09:27):
Are you kidding?
Speaker 4 (09:27):
me, I'll be like, I'll be on like five times a day
.
You guys will be sick of us.
So let's, uh, let's talk aboutthis first clip, kind of made
across, kind of went viralyesterday, um, across all social
media platforms, just thisscript that went out.
It looks like across, I don'tknow, all Congress.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
Well, well, it's not.
So there were I think therewere roughly, and I don't know
how many house members, but 20senators put out the same video,
basically, where they all readthe same script.
Speaker 4 (09:57):
There was more than that Cause.
I saw a different version ofthis and it looks like you
remember when they did um uh themedia thing.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
Yeah Well, that stems from when these media companies
that own all these stationswhen they write something for
the stations and they give it toall the stations, then all the
anchors read the same thing.
That's what that was.
Speaker 4 (10:16):
Well, the one I actually saw, sir was actually
people from Congress, it wasn'tmedia members.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
Oh, I'm sorry about that.
Speaker 4 (10:21):
Yeah, okay, so remember the Brady, before you
rudely interrupted me.
Speaker 7 (10:24):
I was trying to make a point yes.
Speaker 4 (10:26):
The Brady Bunch.
Remember how the Brady Bunchwith the boxes, and then it
would like multiply, andmultiply, and multiply.
That's what the one I saw, andI'm telling you it was more than
20, but anyway, go go on, carryon, sir, it was 20 members of
Congress.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
Christy, finishing a distinction without a difference
.
Okay, so let's, let's go aheadand go through this.
And is there a couple of ourmembers here from New Mexico?
Our two senators and then ChuckSchumer and, I believe,
elizabeth Warren.
So this is how they saw fit tokind of seed the field before
seeding the field, meaning, youknow issues.
They wanted to stick out therebefore Trump went and gave his
(10:59):
speech.
So here's how that came off,when they all put their videos
out.
Speaker 8 (11:13):
I will immediately bring prices down starting on
day one.
So here's how that came offwhen they all put their videos
out are going up.
Prices are not down, they're up.
Prices are up, not down.
Inflation is getting worse.
Inflation is getting worse.
Inflation is getting worse.
Speaker 4 (11:28):
Inflation is getting worse.
I love that they all have thesame microphone too.
Like do they hand out a littlekit.
The cost of groceries.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
Prices of eggs is up.
Prices of groceries is up.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
Cost of medical goods is up right now.
Speaker 5 (11:41):
Eggs of essential.
Speaker 8 (11:41):
Donald Trump has done nothing to lower costs for you.
Donald Trump has time to pardonthe guys who beat up the cops
at the Capitol.
Instead, he's pardoned violentcriminals who savagely beat
police officers.
Instead, he's pardoned violentcriminals who beat police
officers.
Okay, I think we get the point,but this is definitely just all
.
Speaker 4 (11:58):
it's just a, it's propaganda is what it kind of
feels like.
It feels like just an ad, right, so just like, hey, everybody
do this.
You know what this reminds meof?
When you ran for governor, theydid this whole ad about you
hating women and you killingwomen's rights and blah, blah,
blah, blah, blah.
And what was interesting ispeople thought these were New
(12:20):
Mexico people that were speakingagainst you, right, we found
out that that was a national adput out by the Democratic Party
that was running in severalstates, same by the Democratic
Party that was running inseveral states, same people.
They just put in whoever thecandidate was that was running
for that position and sayingthat that person was gonna kill
women and that person wasn'tgonna protect women's
reproductive rights and blah,blah, blah, blah, blah.
So this reminded me of that,that it's like this machine,
this marketing machine thattries to put these things out,
is it effective?
I think they look like bigphonies.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
Well, they do now because you remember, if you
were relying on the mainstreammedia to call this out, they
never would, they never would.
But we don't live in that worldanymore.
We live in a world where youhave Twitter and you have a
bunch of other media sourcesthat put this stuff together and
then they put it out.
So, all of a sudden, people areseeing different stuff than
(13:01):
they were before.
So they're not just watchingmainstream media, which would
never point this out, they wouldnever point out, but now they
do, because you have differentsources and it floods your.
It floods your ex you know feed, it floods your Facebook, it
floods all these differentthings where people say this is
crazy.
So what it requires is someactual creative thought in in
(13:22):
enough of the laziness and thisis just pure laziness and them
trying to stay on a message.
Now, political groups all thetime, both Democrat and
Republican put out talkingpoints.
Do it all the time.
It happens, right, but usuallyyou don't have a full on script
that you're reading off ateleprompter.
Speaker 4 (13:37):
With your microphone that you hold right here, it's
like a little kit showed up inthe mail for each, each rep
saying here, use this microphone.
Here's the script and this ishow you record yourself.
It was like these notes on it,it seemed, and I remember
vividly.
Going back to your campaign,I'm sorry to bring this up, but
I went after some of the newsstations and said fact check
this ad.
And nobody would do it.
Don't be crazy.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
But that's the point.
Things have changed now and so,because things have changed,
people's perception is changing,because the information they
receive changes, and so, as thathappens, what you see is most
normal people are like yeah,that's ridiculous, come on.
And then Elizabeth Warren, I'vegot to say she really right
from here.
She was from here every time weshould have given the Oscars
(14:17):
for this phony baloney marketingcampaign.
So it is, but, but I do think itjust shows you that.
It just shows you, in thesocial media age, things have
changed, and so when you don'thave a monopoly on the
information that people receive,turns out you're on equal
footing.
And when you're on equalfooting, things have turned out
to be a really rough for atleast the party right now out of
(14:40):
power.
And so when we saw Trump walkin after all of this, we saw
Trump walk into the chamber on aTuesday, and who knew, but our
very own Melanie Stansbury, andwe've talked about this before.
There are two types of peoplein Congress there are workhorses
and there are show horses, andthe ultimate show horse, melanie
(15:01):
Stansbury, has a sign that saysthis is not normal.
As Trump walks in.
Just a juvenile thing to do bean adult.
There are people in thiscountry that have real problems,
that want to know that theirrepresentatives care and are
doing something about it.
Holding up a handwritten signsaying this is not normal, like
like you just look unserious andunable to stand up for the job
(15:25):
that you have been elected for.
And to me, I just watched thatand watched her and rolled my
eyes and said she's gotten intothis world now where everybody
around her saying you go girl,you do this, you do that and
she's not realizing that she'sbecoming nothing more than a
show horse clown.
Don't do that, look.
If you want to stand up forwhat you believe in and you
think president Trump is wrong,make that point and make real
(15:49):
points that people care about.
But instead she is a show horsethat more often than not runs
to the cameras with inanestatements that don't advance
the lives of any American orespecially any new Mexican.
Speaker 4 (16:02):
I mean she's talked about that We'll have to boil
water because the Trump's goingto shut that down, Right?
She does ridiculous pictures infront of egg cartons in DC I'm
talking about, there's no eggsand they're so expensive and
blah, blah, blah, just dumbstuff.
And I'm like if you actuallyfollow the news on any of this,
(16:25):
you know that you're making,with martin heinrich coming out
yesterday saying he wasn't goingto attend I keep thinking
that's a smarter move than whatthey did, though give me a break
.
You're, it's your job to show up.
I'm sorry there's plenty ofpeople that sat through biden's
nonsense and showed up for it.
I'm sure there was people thatyou know.
Whatever I mean, remember thebig historical big scene that
was done by Republican back inObama days was calling him a
(16:47):
liar in this.
Remember that.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
And that was like well, and then Marjorie Taylor
Greene standing up and screamingit at Biden.
It was stupid.
And Biden made her look stupid,by the way, right, and so it
went up.
Speaker 4 (16:58):
I just think in general.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
I totally agree.
Grow up like you, take this jobseriously.
I totally agree.
Speaker 4 (17:02):
Grow up Like you, take this job seriously and I'm
sorry, whoever the president is,we clearly understand that you
don't support him.
I mean, you couldn't, we'll getto this, but you can't even
stand when you should bestanding and clapping Right Even
on normal human things youshould be standing and clapping
and they couldn't do that.
It just shows a major lack ofmaturity, I think.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
Well, agreed, I totally agree with you, and it
is one of those things thatkeeps getting worse Right, and
so it does not serve them well.
So, representative Al Green,from Texas, he just kept
screaming at Trump.
And again, if you're not in theroom you didn't hear this as
much from people that were inthe room were like it was
constant.
People were screaming at him,getting up and walking out stuff
(17:40):
that is just incrediblyjuvenile and it's got to stop.
And Al Green, now what did theydo?
Well, mike Johnson had the rulewaiting there and said if you
do this again, you know it'ssubject to rule X, y, z, we're
going to have to remove you.
All of a sudden, they removehim.
He looks stupid and Trumpdoesn't care.
Trump loves the environment andkeeps on going.
(18:03):
So this was just a speech thatplayed exactly into what Trump
is best at, which is theshowmanship, a mix of common
sense things that most peopleshouldn't and don't disagree on,
and then wrapping in humanstories that are impossible not
to be moved by.
So you take those two, unlessyou're Democrat.
(18:24):
Well, and that's what.
That's what doesn't.
Now, there are some Democrats afew who stood up here and there
, but for the most part, you'reright.
They all sat there and you, youliterally and we'll get into
this but you literally had a 13year old who's surviving cancer
stand up and applaud this youngman.
I mean, it's incredibly heartwrenching to watch this and he's
(18:44):
an adorable kid, right, and yousee the story.
I don't care if you don't likeTrump, who cares?
We're talking about the 13 yearold kid.
Now it is the brilliance ofwhat Trump did.
So he mixed humor, he mixedissues that are 80, 20 in his
favor and then he mixed humanstories.
That's what he did, and so thatif you're sitting there watching
that, stand up sometimes, juststand up and clap for the right
(19:04):
things and then when he goes andhammers your party, you can boo
him or whatever you want to do.
Like we all get it, it'spolitics.
But watching this, I want tohit on a few of these clips
because they are fascinating,and this first one to me was
classic Trump, because they tookthe issue of government waste
right, and the issue ofgovernment waste is again.
Issue of government waste isagain, and it's an 80 20 issue.
(19:25):
When you start listing offridiculous things we're spending
money on, normal americans saywhat the heck is going on here
right and the way trump does.
Speaker 9 (19:35):
This is very well done 45 million dollars for
diversity, equity and inclusionscholarships in Burma.
$40 million to improve thesocial and economic inclusion of
sedentary migrants Nobody knowswhat that is.
$8 million to promote LGBTQI+In the African nation of Lesotho
(20:00):
, which nobody has ever heard of.
$60 million for indigenouspeople, I plus in the African
nation of Lesotho, which nobodyhas ever heard of.
Okay, so I just for indigenouspeoples and Afro Colombian
empowerment in central America,$60 million.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
Okay, so there is.
So that's just.
It's funny because Trump isright.
No one's ever heard of that,you know so it's hilarious.
It's short, it's punchy.
Know so, it's hilarious, it'sshort, it's punchy, but it
connects.
Everybody's like yeah, what areyou sedentary migrants?
What are we talking about here?
Speaker 4 (20:31):
Right, agreed.
Yeah, I definitely think thathit home with a lot of people.
I think the touchy part withthis still is and we're not
going to dive into it right nowbut the touchy part is still
some of these federal firings,and are they being done, are
they being handled in the mostappropriate fashion?
And are you know, are you know?
Obviously the cuts do have tohappen, but we've talked about
(20:52):
previously on shows that theDoge does have to be careful
about how they manage some ofthis, because you don't want to
be just, you know, hacking awayat people that still deserve to
have their jobs or should bereviewed at least.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
Well, not only should be reviewed.
If it does have to happen, itneeds to happen in a
compassionate way that doesn'tturn this into a, a circus,
right.
When you saw, like you know,musk with and I think you know
musk is unbelievable, but whenhe shows up with a uh chainsaw,
it's like, yeah, okay, but thereare people losing their job.
So you know, and again, havesome respect right right, right.
(21:29):
So that's that.
But then the other.
The other area where this waswas very clear is on the border
another 80 20 issue, really,most people realizing the border
was out of control completelyand trump Trump did two things
here.
So the first one was talkingabout taking on the cartels.
Speaker 9 (21:46):
Territory to the immediate south of our border is
now dominated entirely bycriminal cartels that murder,
rape, torture and exercise totalcontrol.
They have total control over awhole nation, posing a grave
threat to our national security.
The cartels are waging war onAmerica and it's time for
(22:07):
America to wage war on thecartels, which we adore.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
Okay, I mean, that's the sort of stuff, and when
you're not standing for that andyou're just sitting there, you
know all of a sudden, whose sideare you on, right?
Yeah, the lines are clear.
Speaker 4 (22:18):
Yeah, I feel like you know this is to me.
And then going into this nextone really fast, when he's
talking about just the fact thatwe don't need a new law to
actually crack down on bordercrossings.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
This line was the line of the night.
I think it was the line of thenight.
Speaker 4 (22:29):
So let's play it really quickly before I say too
much.
Speaker 9 (22:31):
The media and our friends secure the border, but
it turned out that all we reallyneeded was a new president.
Speaker 4 (22:47):
I mean outstanding, outstanding point there.
Just that, to me, is why thisfelt so much more like a State
of the Union address in the factthat you know he basically, I
mean, I think what is it?
Ninety two percent lesscrossings now than happened in
you know the most recent things.
So it was like an actual, uh,real, um, you know six, seven
(23:08):
week point of reference that youdon't normally see right in
something like this speech.
So that's what I'm saying to me, that's where the that that you
can kind of see.
Okay, now he's giving realresults, which to me feels more
state of the union well.
I know he's not allowed to dothat right now, but no, no, no,
no, but agreed it could.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
That's absolutely the same sort of speech.
But I agree with you.
You make a great point, whichis usually two results take
longer than this, right?
You look at it and go, okay,I've got a new plan in place.
It's going to take a while forit to work, like he's going to
have to say on tariffs, becausetariffs are going to be a
concern, right, and so you knowif there could be some pain
involved with this or whatever,right People forget.
(23:50):
Early on in the Reaganadministration his popularity
went down significantly rightafter the election and it took a
couple of years.
He got smoked in the 82midterms and then everything
took off, because everythingReagan did started to work Right
.
Well, trump, with the borderpolicy, especially that one,
just in the snap of a fingerchanged it just showed that the
will was not there for Biden.
It was disingenuous everythinghe was doing.
So now you realize Trump sayswe're going to, we're going to
(24:13):
block things down and messagingmatters, right, the messaging
that people get and thatmigrants get in other parts of
the world, that messagingmatters from the president of
the United States.
And if the president says, look, you can't come in here and do
it this way.
You have to do it legally.
They listen in some cases now.
Sometimes they don't, but butoverall you can see those total
numbers backing way off.
Speaker 4 (24:33):
Right, Okay, so another uh true Trumpism came at
a shot against Elizabeth Warren.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
Well, it was yeah.
So he's talking about theUkraine war and you know what
are we going to do with theUkraine war?
He did read a statement fromZelensky saying I want to.
I want to make peace, right.
So this has been a hugeadjustment.
Everybody on Friday freaks out.
I can't believe Trump andZelensky.
They end up.
And what did we say on the show?
He said it doesn't matter.
There is one thing that matters, and that is Trump is the only
(25:02):
path to peace for Zelensky.
It's just true, it's just theway it is right now.
And so Trump trying to playboth ends against the middle, I
think more than some people arecomfortable with with Russia,
and I think some of the rhetorichas been a little too
Russia-friendly, I think too.
But at the same time, you'retrying to negotiate a deal
(25:22):
between those two and Zelenskynow has realized I've got to
work this deal, we've got towork the rare earth minerals
deal and we've got to end thisfight.
Ok, we've got to finish thisoff.
Well, trump starts talkingabout this and Democrats start
start clapping about the aid andwanting more aid for the
Ukraine.
And Trump's basic point on thisis to what end?
To what end?
Like we just keep going andpeople keep dying.
(25:44):
And so then, as you mentioned,what does he do?
Speaker 4 (25:48):
Well, I mean, I think he said you know what are we
going to do?
Keep this war going for fivemore years.
And then you could see they cutto Elizabeth Warren who was
clapping like, yeah, let's keepthis thing going.
And he's like of course, thisis what you're going to say, but
he says it in a Trump way, do?
Speaker 9 (26:11):
you want to keep it going for another five years?
Yeah, yeah, you would say.
Pocahontas says yes.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
Pocahontas says yes.
Speaker 4 (26:25):
Okay, okay, explain the Pocahontas for those people
who don't understand.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
So he refers to her as that because at one point she
said she was of Native Americanheritage, which I think is
largely untrue.
She may be of the slightest, Idon't know, but but she
basically put on some sort ofapplication form that she was
Native American.
Right and so, therefore, trumpgrabbed the the Pocahontas
reference and and referred toher with that.
But but again, his bigger pointis this is again the bigger
point is Trump's the guystanding for peace and she's
(26:59):
crapping for more war.
Right, it's just a terribleplace to be.
Speaker 4 (27:02):
He also did say, like listen, we're sick of the young
people from both sides dying,right From Ukraine and from
Russia dying, and so you know weneed to end this, and we need
to end it now.
And if those of you that don'twant it to end you're still
clapping, I just it's again.
It's just like common sensewould tell you?
What are you?
What are you clapping forElizabeth?
Speaker 1 (27:22):
Like what I don't understand, I guess, and I do
think we should have givenUkraine help.
I look at we may disagree.
There are plenty of Republicanswho don't think we should have
given them it.
Well, so what then?
So then Russia sweeps acrossUkraine and has all of Ukraine
right now.
I don't agree with that.
I don't.
And I'm sorry if there are somerepublicans like, oh, we should
have never been involved, okay,then we go.
Then all ukraine's gone andthey're on the border of poland,
(27:44):
okay, I just think that's notright either.
So so I don't think that the uswas wrong to help.
I do not think that at all.
So so I you know whatever.
You cannot like that.
If you know whatever, that'sfine, but you know again.
But I agree with you then.
But now that's not where are?
So we're at a stalemate in awar, that's just.
It's going to be a meat grinder, right, if we continue to help
(28:05):
Ukraine and Russia continues topush.
Just people are going to die.
So you're going to try to fixthis.
And again, zelensky now saysall right, well, let's talk
about this.
Speaker 4 (28:13):
Now I'm ready.
Yeah.
Which makes a Another bigmoment I felt like was a lot of
the military conversations Right.
Not only did he address PeteHegseth, as you know, taking on
things, things of that nature,he really came back around to
this whole Afghanistan.
You know us pulling out ofAfghanistan the 13 Marines who
died.
Speaker 1 (28:34):
Well, yeah, yeah.
The Abbey Gate Right, and thetheme here was more so that
because Trump's president, nowthings have happened Right.
So there was the Russian rightthe guy who was in a Russian
prison and brought his95-year-old mom, and Trump said
I'm going to get you out ofthere.
He told the 95-year-old motherI'm going to get your son home.
He did it Right.
(28:54):
The situation with the borderhe said I'm going to fix it.
He did it.
With the border he said I'mgoing to fix it.
He did it.
And then the Abbey Gatesituation.
We don't know what happenedwith that.
We didn't have any arrests onwhat happened.
Biden said we're going to chaseyou to the ends of the earth
and catch the people who didthis.
We didn't get a single one.
So now Trump announces in thespeech hey, we've got some of
the people who did this andthey're on their way, flying
back to the United States as wespeak.
(29:16):
And here's what that soundedlike Our country.
Speaker 9 (29:19):
Tonight I am pleased to announce that we have just
apprehended the top terroristresponsible for that atrocity,
and he is right now on his wayhere to face the swift sword of
American justice.
Speaker 4 (29:34):
Yeah, I think he just kind of showed up with receipts
last night.
It was a receipt speech.
It was here's what I'm doing.
Here's what I said I would doand here's what I've done so far
.
And, by the way, ps, I've beenin office for six weeks or seven
weeks, so I think that was areally good approach for whoever
helped write this speech andkind of piece this thing
together and put the rightpeople in the audience and
(29:55):
really kind of bring that allhome.
Another thing this is againjust Trump calling people like
he calls them, and I thinkthere's a lot of people out
there that just want somebodyauthentic and he obviously
doesn't hold back.
Sometimes maybe he should, butin this particular approach I
thought good for you for sayingthis, because he called the
democratic party out, forbasically, you know, like hey, I
(30:19):
could basically cure things uphere and it's not going to make
any difference.
They're still not going to likeme and they're going to sit in
their seats.
So take a listen to this one.
I think this was the right wayof handling it, honestly.
Speaker 9 (30:31):
This is my fifth such speech to Congress and once
again I look at the Democrats infront of me and I realize there
is absolutely nothing I can sayto make them happy or to make
them stand or smile or applaud.
Nothing I can do.
I could find a cure to the mostdevastating disease, a disease
(30:54):
that would wipe out entirenations, or announce the answers
to the greatest economy inhistory or the stoppage of crime
to the lowest levels everrecorded, and these people
sitting right here will not clap, will not stand and certainly
will not cheer for theseastronomical achievements.
(31:15):
They won't do it, no matterwhat.
Five times I've been up here.
It's very sad and it justshouldn't be this way it's.
Speaker 1 (31:25):
It's a super smart approach because of the way they
acted and they and they andthey, they did this in a way
that made them an easy targetfor it.
And and remember that line hasto be written well before he
ever goes into that room.
He has to know like, forexample, if Democrats are
regularly standing andapplauding for different things,
that line doesn't work right.
(31:46):
But he knew they wouldn't.
Speaker 4 (31:48):
Yeah, he knew they wouldn't do it.
Speaker 1 (31:49):
And he knew the playbook they were going to
follow.
They were going to try thewhole resist thing, the science
thing, the walkout thing, thestand up and scream thing we
wear pink things.
Speaker 4 (31:55):
Yeah, absolutely.
Speaker 1 (31:56):
Absolutely and whatever it is, and not standing
for simple things that showyour humanity means that you
leave yourself open tobroadsides where you look like
nothing but opposition.
Whatever he's for, I'm against.
And when you're acting that way, you end up on the 20 side of
an 80-20 issue.
Speaker 4 (32:15):
He keeps doing it to them and they keep walking into
the wood chipper it's amazingand I want to just mention this
because I know we didn't doanything on this on the show,
but this really bothered me thisweek that the fact that the
Democrats basically tabled anyvote to bring into law the
rights for women in sports, thefact that they couldn't get that
across.
You know when that is an 80 20issue, when the people that you
(32:37):
are representing are againstthis issue, one entirely vote to
basically say they don't getenough votes to say that they're
willing to put this up as abill.
Right, so it's, it's, it's done.
Speaker 1 (32:49):
The Senate killed it.
Is that who killed it?
Speaker 4 (32:50):
Yeah it's.
I just know it was sittingDemocrats.
I don't know if it was Senate.
Speaker 1 (32:53):
Yeah, I think it had to be, I think it was Senate,
yeah, yeah, so they needed 60votes, they, they needed 60
votes, they needed 60 votes.
Speaker 4 (32:58):
I think they got 51, if I recall right.
So not enough to push forward,to go forward with a bill, right
?
Because you have enoughDemocrats in there that say,
because this is Trump's idea,I'm not.
I mean, even though my peopleback my constituents, this is
what they want I'm going to voteagainst it.
And I just think how tone deafare they when they do things
like that Now this is anexecutive order, right?
(33:19):
They do things like that Nowthis is an executive order,
right?
That's.
All this is is an executiveorder, and if another president
decides to overturn this, theycan.
You know, and that's what's sodisappointing about this is that
this is an issue thatabsolutely should have been
dealt with, and I, I'm I just donot understand it.
Speaker 1 (33:32):
So I know that it's a very fair point, but it but it
it does show you that the howoff balance they are right now.
And so I want to get into someof these other a couple other
people that Trump called up insome magical moments because it
was unbelievable.
And so there's a little boy inthe crowd, 13-year-old DJ Daniel
(33:54):
, and he had cancer from a veryyoung age, Started back in 2018.
He was given five months tolive, and now we're seven years
later and he's still there andhe wants to be a police officer
and he has been sworn in as apolice officer in his hometown.
But, but Trump had anotherthing up his sleeve for him.
He wanted to be secret service,and so they they made him a
(34:16):
secret service agent, with thehead of the secret service there
to present him with this.
And if you didn't watch this andstart to have your allergies
get to you, then you're just not.
You don't have a heartbeat,right?
It's totally sweet, so checkthis out.
And then there's the head ofthe secret service standing next
to him and he gives him a bighug I mean, that's organic, that
(34:38):
just happens, right?
I mean that isn't something youcan plan for and jumping into
the arms of the head of thesecret service and saying thank
you very much, and his dad therewith him.
I mean again, you could havestood right here, you could have
stood.
Speaker 4 (34:52):
The fact that you're a Democrat and you sit there and
say I'm not going to stand upfor whatever reason.
And this is a 13 year old boythat is dealt with brain cancer.
For I mean really, yeah.
And this is a 13 year old boythat is dealt brain cancer.
For I mean really, yeah, that'swhat you're going to die on
that Hill.
You're going to sit on thatHill and you're like, nope, I'm
not going to clap for this one.
Speaker 1 (35:06):
Yep.
Speaker 4 (35:07):
Really, because because who?
The people that you, you've allmet with over coffee, have
decided we're not going to clapone time, we're not going to
stand.
They made this like code ofhonor to like.
Speaker 1 (35:18):
But again he's walking them into the wood
chipper.
Speaker 4 (35:20):
They're just like here I come, heartless.
Another one, too, was whenTrump announced that Jason
Hartley is going to get toattend West Point, and his dad
was an LA County Sheriff, Ibelieve and died in the line of
fire, right.
Speaker 1 (35:31):
Something like that, yep.
Speaker 4 (35:32):
And he really wants to go to West Point.
Speaker 1 (35:35):
Yes.
Speaker 4 (35:36):
And so he saved the moment for this speech, that he
invited him as a guest, and thenhe announces that he did in
fact get in.
Speaker 1 (35:43):
He did, and so, all of a sudden, jason's thrilled,
right.
But here's the thing that'samazing about this is that not
only this, we're going to showyou a clip after Jason finds out
and everybody's clapping forhim, right?
Oh my gosh, this kid gets to goto West Point.
He's going to be a greatsoldier.
This is amazing.
But look who comes and giveshim a hug after the announcement
(36:06):
, or a high five, sorry it's alittle, dj Daniel comes over and
it's like that's an organicmoment that nobody plans for
nobody has any idea.
And all of a sudden, little DJgoes over and go yeah man, I'm a
secret service agent, you'regoing to West Point.
I mean just you have to.
(36:26):
The stage craft of this andthen the organic stuff that
springs out of the stage craftis truly amazing.
Speaker 4 (36:34):
Very patriotic and I and you know Trump used that as
a way to talk about the factthat recruitment and military
has gone up since January.
So I just think it was a sweetmoment.
This is master communication.
Speaker 1 (36:43):
It really is, and I did want to play one quick clip
for those of you on the DJ thing, because before he stood up and
they did everything, he did alittle video that the white
house put out and I just wantyou to listen to him and
everything that he's beenthrough and what he's doing and
just to give you an idea thatthis is a special little boy.
Speaker 3 (37:05):
My dad was calling my name and I started going to the
slow thing and he said stopplaying with me.
And I started to act slow andthen, as soon as he said that we
were speeding all the way,running lights, going to the
hospital and then next thing youknow, I was seizing on the
table they said, no, we're goingto have to go on his brain
tonight.
Ever since then, I had 13 brainsurgeries, and that's how many
(37:27):
times my personality has changed, and that's something that you
don't hear from a terminally illchild.
They have five months to live.
I'm going to keep on going intomy gas tanks right now and
that's when God calls you home.
You never know when God's goingto call you home.
I wouldn't be here if it wasn'tfor my dad.
I know he's pretty proud of meand I'm pretty proud of him too,
and I'd like to thank PresidentTrump because if it wasn't for
(37:49):
him, I wouldn't be here today.
It's incredibly sweet.
Speaker 4 (37:53):
Very sweet kid.
Unfortunately, though, we havesome people in the media that
had to twist this into somethingjust inappropriate.
Speaker 1 (38:02):
When you have nowhere to go and you all you know is
vicious opposition in in, thenyou always find a way to try to
twist the knife.
The problem is you end uplooking like a ghoul when you do
it Right.
And this is Nicole Wallace.
After watching that on MSNBC.
Speaker 6 (38:21):
That that you let yourself feel and I let myself
feel joy about DJ and I hopehe's alive for another.
You know 95 years and I hope helives the life he wants to live
.
He wants to be a cop, he knowswhat he wants to do and maybe
when you have childhood cancerthat crystallizes for you and I
(38:42):
hope he has a long life as a lawenforcement officer.
But I hope he never has todefend the United States Capitol
against Donald Trump'ssupporters and if he does, I
hope he isn't one of the six wholoses his life to suicide and I
hope he isn't one who has totestify against the people who
carried out acts of seditiousconspiracy and then live to see
Donald Trump pardon those people.
Speaker 1 (39:03):
Yeah, I mean just incredibly inappropriate and an
awful thing in an awful momentto bring it up.
But again, when your whole lifeis centered around a political
fight, you turn into a monsterof sorts, because you give
cursory tip of the cap to theemotion and then you go back in
and you try to plunge the knifein again.
(39:24):
You're not hurting Donald Trumpwith this.
You're making yourself lookstupid and you're making
yourself look like an absolutemonster, and it's just stop.
Speaker 4 (39:33):
And the fact that her colleagues didn't call her out
on that?
Speaker 1 (39:35):
No, she never would.
They never would, I just thinkhow inappropriate.
Speaker 4 (39:38):
They should have never let that hit air.
Speaker 1 (39:45):
MSNBC says some stuff that is flabbergasting to me,
and again, look at the numbersthey're all collapsing, okay.
So again Trump's got plenty ofproblems ahead with the economy,
which we've talked about, andthis is going to be very tricky
with what happens with.
Now it looks like there couldbe a deal on tariffs coming up
that it won't be as bad withwith Mexico and and and Canada.
We'll see what ends uphappening, but there's a lot of
economic problems out there.
It's scary.
Speaker 4 (40:05):
Why would they not just focus on things like that
Right, right Pulling in withthis kid and then just, you know
, I don't know, I just felt likeit was so inappropriate.
I was gassed when I saw it seenwaters.
Yeah, so she's.
You know, she's a little shejust seems unhinged.
Speaker 1 (40:25):
Honestly, when you watch this video, you're like
what again?
Another wrong, another again.
Trump just forces them offsides.
Speaker 7 (40:29):
Every time, every time awful and I really did not
like the way he used the tragicuh incidents and the families
that were there who, of ofcourse, appreciated you know
what they think is theirpresident caring about what
happened, you know, to the 12year old and to others who were
(40:51):
victims, and we all feel sad andbad for them, but he misused
them.
He misused them and what he didwas he focused on them instead
of focusing on the real issuesthat we're dealing with now.
Speaker 1 (41:05):
Okay, listen, ma'am.
First off, this is politics,and to drive stories home with
personal anecdotes is absolutelythe single most effective way
to move policy in the history ofthe world right, connect a
human story to it, and so to sitthere and be like how could you
do that?
It's just, it just is.
(41:26):
It's, it's political clownery.
We all know that, okay, andthat that stuff happens.
So you see, someone like Maxinewaters, who's for a long time
heck, she stood up and said goconfront people you know that
voted for Trump and that are inthe Trump administration.
She said go physically confrontthem.
She said that before.
So stop with with this routine.
Speaker 3 (41:45):
And I'm sorry, both sides during these speeches,
they all do this, they all bringin real people.
Speaker 4 (41:51):
The fact that it was disappointing too is, I feel,
like saying hey, maxine, why didthe Democrats not stand when
they just addressed Lake andRiley's mom, who was there?
Like you lose a daughter,you're a parent in there, that
was his first bill that he'sgotten signed into law.
He was, you know, the Lake andRiley bill.
Speaker 1 (42:08):
Another promise that he kept.
Speaker 4 (42:10):
Yeah, and he gets signed in, and so they address
her, and he addresses her andhas her stand in the in the
Democrats in their seat and theycannot clap.
Shockingly enough, meghanMcCain was uh well.
Speaker 1 (42:22):
Meghan McCain has definitely changed her tune to
where she is.
I think there's been somebridges built between Meghan
McCain and the Trumpadministration.
Really, yes, absolutely Okay.
Well, this is her tweet.
Speaker 4 (42:31):
So she shows here that she says shame on all the
Democrats who wouldn't stand forLake and Riley's mom.
Her daughter was murdered.
You ghouls, we see you, andit's just a matter of.
I've had some conversations onX lately with even fellow
Republicans, and we've talkedabout the fact that the
divisiveness on our side, whatwe're capable of ending Right,
(42:51):
what we need to do to helpbridge that gap, is to stop
making fake attacks or weirdattacks or picking on things
that maybe aren't as big of adeal.
Stick to policy and and at thesame point it's like be human
Right.
And then you look at theDemocrats on the other side that
can't stand for DJ Daniel,can't stand up for Lake and
Riley's mom.
Where is your heart Like?
(43:13):
Have you gotten so divided andso focused on your, your stance
that you've lost any humanconnectivity?
Speaker 1 (43:21):
I just it definitely, and it doesn't even serve their
own purpose as well.
Right, that's the thing.
That's.
It's amazing.
So it doesn't.
It doesn't serve their purposeas well either.
So that's why, at some point,they've got to re, they've got
to get their footing again,because they don't have it right
now.
No, there's no question.
And but I'll tell you it wasinteresting watching major
Garrett talk about this.
He's a CBS news commentator anda reporter and, again, this is
(43:44):
not a compliment to Trump whathe's about to say, but he's just
properly assessing where thingsare right now and, after
watching this speech, listeninstead of piling on and saying,
oh there were so many things Ididn't like that.
He actually has the right takeon this for someone who is in
the mainstream media, who can'tseem to figure out what's
happening.
At least Major Garrett seems tohave figured this part out.
Speaker 5 (44:05):
So I've learned to be humble about analyzing speeches
like this, because the countryoften catches on to things that
those of us in Washington mightnot sift the way the country
does.
When the president listedthings that he thought were
extravagant examples of wastefulspending, those of us around
this table might say, well,that's not going to be enough,
even if you cut all that, tobalance the budget, which is
$840 billion out of balance.
(44:27):
But Americans will hear it andsay, wait a minute, those things
sound wasteful.
To me Sounds like Elon Musk andthe president are on to
something.
There was also tremendousemotive power in several parts
of the speech that I think willresonate across the country.
Whether it's Lake and Riley,slain her mother and sister, or
Mark and his mother, malfeenFogle, rescued or brought back
(44:47):
from Russia, or a Border Patrolagent, roberto Ortiz, or
Stephanie Diller, the survivingspouse of a slain New York City
police officer, those thingscarry emotional weight, not only
in the moment but probablyinevitably in the pass around
social media dissection of thisspeech.
I keep my eyes and ears tunedto emotional moments like that
(45:08):
that often jump over theinstantaneous Beltway analysis.
Speaker 1 (45:17):
Yeah, and it's yeah, yeah.
And so you saw plenty of CNNmelting down over everything and
Scott Jennings going fightingback and everything else that
you always see on CNN.
You see the MSNBC reaction,which is off the charts, but
again, those don't tend to land.
So a couple of different thingshere.
First of all, cbs did a snappoll right after the speech.
What do think the numberslooked like?
Speaker 4 (45:32):
well, I thought it was kind of um shocking actually
.
I mean, I obviously we see ourside of the issue.
We're like, yeah, applaudingcertain parts of that speech,
but to see this kind of approvalrating um across the board well
on a cbs poll.
Well, I about fainted.
Speaker 1 (45:48):
Well, so there are.
Here are the numbers right here, and it is 76 percent viewed
this speech, approved of it, 23disproved.
Now remember, you gotta rememberyou've got a weighted audience
a little bit because people whotend to support the president of
either party who gives thesespeeches they tend to watch the
most right, okay all right, butstill 76 23 is a big time number
(46:09):
, like I don't I don't carewho's watching the speech 76, 23
, because you still have atleast probably 30 to 40 percent
of people that did not vote forTrump at all in this poll.
So that did well.
And then something else that'skind of interesting here, second
part of the poll 63 percentsaid Trump spent time on issues
that they care about a lot.
Sixty three percent that's goodspeech.
(46:31):
Writing, that's dialing in andknowing what you're dealing with
.
28% said that he talked alittle bit about it and then
only 9% said he talked nothingat all about it.
So when you talk for two hours,you're about most of the things
.
It was a long, long speech, andit wasn't only CBS, it was also
CNN, who did a poll as wellright after, and here's what
they came up with the results.
Speaker 8 (46:51):
What was your reaction to Trump's speech?
44 percent of speech watchersin our instant poll tonight say
they had a very positivereaction to Trump's speech.
25 percent somewhat positive.
31 percent negative.
Speaker 1 (47:05):
That's a big number.
That's 69 percent.
Ok, that's an important number.
So, overall, here look andwe've said this on prior shows,
we're going to continue to sayit there are massive challenges
ahead for trump.
There is no doubt.
If the economy, if we don't geton solid footing with the
economy and prices don't comedown over the next year, at
least got a year.
To be honest, I don't thinkit's going to be one of these
(47:26):
deals where you know they'regoing after him after six.
Speaker 4 (47:28):
Six weeks is ridiculous right, I mean, it's
blaming him for the egg prices,right, right, I mean it's crazy
Blaming him for the egg price isstill so stupid.
Speaker 1 (47:33):
Right right right, it's too early for that, but at
the same time you know like whenyou start piling up tariffs and
stuff and that is going to pushprices up some.
You know it's not that youdon't need to deal with this,
and he did say there could besome rough times.
Speaker 4 (47:45):
Yeah, With the stock market especially too.
Speaker 1 (47:47):
That's one area, that's really we're feeling it.
So by no means is this like allrainbows and everything, but it
was just one of these days whereyou saw someone who is in his
second term but had four yearsto prepare and absolutely laid a
bear trap and the other sidejumped right into it head first.
And the question is, how longdo they continue to do this
(48:10):
before they realize there's athere's?
There's going to have to be abetter way, and I will say the
democratic response to this fromslot can, from Michigan.
Her delivery was better, Likeshe felt, you know, kind of that
middle of the country, more ofa normalcy.
Now the problem is that herparty doesn't tend to follow
that path, right.
So so you see her give thisspeech.
(48:31):
You're like, yeah, that sounds,I understand what you're saying
, Like she would critique himsome and you'd be like, okay, I
understand where she's comingfrom and it's a more effective
critique.
But at the same time, I thinkwhat you can largely anticipate
is her own party's going toignore that approach, Like
there's not going to do it.
Speaker 4 (48:48):
If they keep staying on this path, though, I just
think they continue to pushtheir, their party, farther and
farther, farther left, wherepeople leave people behind, and
I just think I don't know.
I don't know if that means thatthere's a big shift to the
independent party, I don't knoweither, or if something goes
wrong.
Speaker 1 (49:04):
Right in, Trump encounters problems.
Where does the electorate go?
Right, Because if you look atthe other side, they're like no,
but you know, we used to alwaysget frustrated on the
Republican side when you, duringthe Obama years and even
somewhat during the Biden years,when you'd see policy just go
off the rails, You're like whyis everybody not flooding to the
Republican side?
Because if people don't feellike they can trust you and your
party isn't welcoming them inwith common sense policies, you
(49:28):
don't get all those voters right.
Those voters just kind of floatout in the ether and sometimes
they'll just kind of go alongfor a while and you don't see a
shift.
So Republicans need to makesure they don't overreach and
they keep very close tabs on theeconomy and continue to handle
things, especially when you'retalking about, you know, taking
government spending and bringingit down and then getting rid of
waste, fraud and abuse, doingthat in a way that is not only
(49:50):
effective but also understandingthe gravity of that moment.
And then I think it's going tobe very interesting, but it was
quite a day for Trump.
There's no doubt that this wasa very different speech, One of
the best I've ever seen him get.
Speaker 4 (50:01):
Right, I think it's a speech we'll remember for a
long time, honestly.
But okay, that does it for usfor right now, for this little
recap.
