on Wednesday.
You'll be watching this onThursday, so when we refer to
last night, that's why, yeah.
So I want to make sure I saythat because you know what
happens.
You know what will happen,right?
Speaker 3 (02:35):
Every week somebody says they ask us a question
which you and I are always inthe comments.
We're always there hanging out.
Yes, they want to ask us a livequestion, as if we can respond
on video, which we cannot do.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
No, can't do it, Not unless we.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
I don't know what.
Well, we've done a couple oflive shows.
We should probably do anotherone of those.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
Yeah, we're getting due for one we're getting due
for one.
Yeah, we'll bring one to youguys pretty soon.
Yeah, last night would havebeen a fun one.
It would have been a long one.
Last night would have been ablast.
Yeah, yes, yeah.
Oh, my gosh, it was so good.
So in case you missed it, Ihighly doubt that you did, or
maybe you're like me in mynormal routine of just catching
the highlights and lowlightsafter the fact and just enjoying
(03:16):
a quiet evening.
Whatever the case, you knowthat President Trump addressed
the Congress last night and itwas 100 minutes long and
apparently the longest addresson date, right or thus far, I
think.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
Yeah, it was.
You know, I didn't understandor I guess I never realized that
.
You know, I think it wasPresident Reagan that started
doing this right at thebeginning of because it's not a
State of the Union, right, it's,you know, six weeks or five,
six weeks into office and justgive a status update or you know
, kind of here's where we are,here's what my for the term, and
(03:57):
so he was the first one to dothis and it's kind of been the
norm ever since, go figure,reagan came up with another good
idea.
Of course he did yeah.
Since, go figure, reagan cameup with another good idea, of
course he did yeah, but this wasso it's not a State of the
Union, but it was longer than aState of the.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
Union and much, much more involved.
Yeah, and I'm not going to lie,I actually had some confusion
there at one point when I was,you know, kind of wrapping my
brain around talking about thisand doing that.
I'm like and I almost typed outState of the Union.
I'm like, wait, wait, wait,wait.
No, it's not the state of theunion.
What are we actually callingthis?
So I'm just calling itaddressing Congress, Like I'm
sure there's a better name forit, Like is there an actual term
(04:32):
for it?
And I don't even know it.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
I think they refer to it as addressing a joint
session of Congress.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
Okay, there you go, no-transcript other spots where
(05:14):
people have, you know, notnecessarily made that mistake,
but made that comparison.
So, yeah, I mean I guess we canwalk it right down from the
beginning, right, you know,right off the bat there were
issues and I didn't know thispart until you told me off
camera about his walking in,what was supposed to happen.
So you go ahead and tell themthat.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
We can even go before that.
So, security wise, you knowPresident Trump is a bit of a
special case, having twoassassination attempts prior to,
you know, on the campaign trail.
So, the Secret Service, therewas reports of a protest
somewhere on the main routebetween the White House and the
Capitol building.
So they loaded up an entireconvoy as if it was the
(05:52):
president and drove it on thenormal route and it occupied the
protesters, when in realitythey took the president and they
went around the back route andthey got him there.
Just it seemed like maybe aminute or two late, but they
knew it was coming.
So, secret Service, obviouslywe've seen an improvement
already, that quick.
But to address what you weretalking about.
So I didn't know this, but theymade a mention of it.
(06:14):
You know, last night thecommentary that when they have
these, they're supposed to be abipartisan delegation that
escorts the president intochambers.
Outside the door You've gotDemocrats and Republicans and
that the Democrat side, the blueside delegation, didn't show up
.
So there was no bipartisanescort, which set up the
(06:37):
attitude for the entire evening.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
Oh, absolutely yeah.
Yeah, it was.
It was already set in motionand, of course, it was set in
motion in motion Alreadybeforehand.
There were rumors of the typesof antics that they were
considering doing.
There were some reports thatthey were considering throwing
eggs, which, as you said, beforewe came on air like they
probably realized very quicklythat the consequences of
(07:02):
throwing something at thepresident of the United States
would result in something thatthey really would not want to
happen.
You know so, more than justgetting booted out of the room
there, right, yeah?
Speaker 3 (07:13):
Yeah, I think best case scenario would have been a
physical, like you know,physical reaction by Secret
Service.
In other words, you knowsomebody would have jumped on
the president, somebody wouldhave physically jumped on
whoever tossed the egg.
There would have been somephysical contact for sure, at a
minimum.
And in a worst case scenario,you know you've got a president
(07:35):
who again has had twoassassination attempts.
Somebody throws something athim.
You know Secret Service reactsand you know, potentially
somebody gets really, reallyhurt, even potentially somebody
getting shot.
So yeah, I think they I don'tknow, I mean they were rumors.
You were right, use the rightword.
But if somebody had consideredthat, hopefully they thought
better and that's why we didn'tsee any of that, not that we
(07:56):
didn't see any antics, but wedid not.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
Yeah, so you know we'll talk about, we'll talk
about the Democrats for a momentand and we'll be talking about
(08:25):
them for several momentsthroughout this Republicans and
you know, whatever party leaderthere is, you know taking center
stage there.
You know that's normal, it iswhat it is.
This was a level ofdistastefulness that exceeded
everything, and there is nothing.
And I'll tell you what if youare on the left, if you are a
(08:45):
Democrat, and you are applauding, sitting, you know, back in
your living room or wherever youmay have watched this, and
applauding that behavior, shameon you.
Shame on you.
That is absolutely appalling,grotesque, really.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
Yeah, and it started from the get go.
So you know and listen folks,there have been incidences in
the past where Republicans havebooed Democratic presidents, you
know, and things that they havesaid you know along the way.
I believe that's the level ofescalation that it's gotten to
(09:20):
prior to this.
But of course, as witheverything else, it escalates
every time.
So, as we all saw last nightthat watched and those that
didn't, you know, the firstthing that stuck out was all the
pink, which was the biggest bitof hypocrisy ever, because the
intent behind that was, you know, all the female Congress people
, congresswomen, talking abouthow they were wearing pink to
(09:44):
represent women's issues whenearlier, in the very same day,
the day before, they votedagainst protecting women in
locker rooms and allowingtransgender.
Not a single Democrat voted infavor of that, you know, in
locker rooms.
So hypocrisy there.
And you couldn't miss the pinkRight.
Which was the intent Right.
Message sent, message received,but the hypocritical part of it
(10:07):
was which was the intent Right?
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Message sent, message received, but the hypocritical
part of it was not lost onanyone, right?
Yeah, that wasn't lost onanyone.
You know anyone payingattention?
Certainly, yeah, I saw thatright away Somebody.
I didn't pause it or screenshotit to see what it actually said
because I didn't care that much, but I did see that at least
one of them had, you know, hadwriting all over her blazer.
You know, I'm sure, all theirlittle catchphrases and slogans
on there and you know whateverelse, but yes, absolutely, and
(10:31):
that was a theme for the eveningtoo.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
So you saw it.
As the president walked in andI don't know who it was, there
was again a Democrat femaleholding a sign that says this is
not normal.
I also saw, as the presidentpassed her, a Republican reached
across the aisle, grabbed itand flipped it in the air.
I want to.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
can we all just take bets right now on what, what
time and day her lawsuit forassault will come out, Because
you know that's going to happen?
Speaker 3 (10:58):
I thought that was going to escalate.
Truthfully, it certainly couldhave.
Yeah, thankfully it didn't,because my concern was the
proximity of the president hewas.
Could have.
Yeah, thankfully it didn't,because my concern was the
proximity of the president.
He was right there, right.
So I thought if somebodydecided to, that was risky
reaching across the aisle bythat Republican.
That did that, yes, but hadthat escalated even further,
that could have gotten very,very ugly, with the president
(11:18):
right there.
So.
But we saw the signs for therest of the night.
You saw that.
You know the circular signsthat were actually, you know
they kind of look like somethingout of an auction, but they
also, you know they had thingson both sides.
I think they were actually likeclackers Um, oh, okay, but I'm
not positive Um.
And then, of course, you had umwhat's her name?
That had her own dry eraseboard.
(11:39):
Oh, she had like a whiteboardright Was was a whiteboard that
she used to leave, she would,you know, dry erase board
herself, whatever it was issuethat she wanted to address.
So the signs you know thatmessaging was definitely a theme
for the evening and preplannedobviously, Of course, Of course.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
Although I have to say, you know it did not look
like one of their usualcoordinated efforts.
There was obviously somecoordination there and some
planning between them.
Coordinated efforts, there wasobviously some coordination
there and some planning betweenthem.
But you know you had, unlessthey just like, divided it all
up, like, okay, your cause isgoing to be Ukraine, so you wear
all your you know your blue andgold and your cause is going to
be women, and you know what Imean.
(12:16):
So you had these differentfactions of their, their little
merry band of morons and, um,you like that one, I like that
one too.
Okay, can we pause it's prettyfitting Well done.
Yeah, thank you, thank you,thank you.
So once in a while I come outwith a good one.
But yeah, you know, you hadthese little different factions
and I think they simply couldn'tdecide what their messaging was
going to be.
You know, I think they wereprobably infighting about it,
(12:37):
like, well, I think we shouldall wear black, because that was
, that was a thing.
There were people wearing black, which you know they can
mourning over.
You know this new presidency,but you know, again, all of the
things that they wererepresenting in their little
anger, all equally showed theiridiocy and their hypocrisy and
(12:59):
their absolute abhorrence andhatred of America, of this
country.
Abhorrence and hatred ofAmerica, of this country.
You can't hate this countrymore than these people presented
themselves as doing, and youknow, case in point they could
not stand, they could not clapfor one single positive thing.
And we're talking about andwe'll go down the list a little
more thoroughly, but we'retalking about a child who
(13:21):
survived brain cancer, a familyof a girl who was brutally
murdered by an illegal alien, aslain officer.
You can't stand for children.
You can't stand up for you.
Your hatred is so consumingthat you can't even pause that
(13:45):
for a moment and look at thatbeautiful sweet child and clap
for him.
You're not clapping for Trump.
You want to call it theater.
Call it theater, I don't carewhat you call it.
It's not theater to that littleboy.
It's not theater to him.
It's not theater to thosefamilies who lost loved ones.
It's real for them.
You know that to me wasprobably like the lowest of lows
(14:06):
that they reached that night.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
Yeah, well they.
You know it started with themnot rising when the president
walked in.
So, that's, that's part of it.
And, if you notice, he walkedin and he was.
He did maybe three people downthe line Cause he was shaking
hands.
He turned left, he realizedthat nobody was standing over
there, so he kept right and thenhe started kind of laughing and
doing one, you know, like, canyou believe?
These guys just kept going.
So they set the precedent andagain, I don't think I've ever
(14:31):
seen that before and that iswhether they respect President
Trump or not.
That's disrespect to the office.
Yeah, that's that's wherethings start to degrade.
Cruz went off on a on a rantafter it was over with about
that exact thing and he saidhe's like I didn't respect
President Obama, I booedPresident Obama.
He admitted that there was somecontentious things that
(14:53):
happened, but he said it everysingle time, every single
Democratic president walked inchambers, he goes you get up off
your butt and you stand upbecause you respect the office.
And that's where the decorum wetalked about this last week and
we're going to talk about it alot because it was a huge part
of last night Right, the decorum, the respect, the mutual
respect, the acting like a grownup has kind of gone out the
(15:16):
window.
Admittedly, there were somethat happened, including by the
president himself, that I wouldprefer doesn't happen, but
obviously the vast majority ofit was on the on the left.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
You know, yeah, absolutely.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
Yeah, I think so.
And you know, I think and I'mnot making excuses, just seeing
it for what it was I think thatyou know his, his comments were
definitely, I think, retaliatory.
You know his, his comments weredefinitely, I think,
retaliatory.
You know, I think it wasdefinitely like I think he would
have if they had shown just anounce of respect, just an ounce
of maturity.
(15:52):
I think he probably would havekept it pretty fair.
You know he's going to call outI mean, he's going to call out
the previous administration, nomatter what.
That's a given.
But I don't think he would havebeen antagonistic to them in
the audience there as much,maybe a little bit, but not
nearly as much.
(16:13):
And I'm sure you're probablyreferring to the Pocahontas
comment.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
Yeah, I mean, that's one for sure, you know.
So he started out the speechand it started out great, you
know.
But again it set the tonebecause you know he started out.
America is back Right and hugeapplause from, you know,
everybody on the conservativeside, and again nothing from the
Democrats, which againreiterated the fact that they
(16:37):
won't, can't, cheer for America.
They're so blinded by you know,I don't like the term Trump
derangement syndrome, but thereisn't a better one out there.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
It just isn't right now.
Somebody will come up with it.
Speaker 3 (16:48):
So they're.
You know they sat there.
Their disdain for him as aperson and as a president clouds
everything else, so theycouldn't even cheer for that.
And then of course, we got that.
That prompted the whole thingwith Representative Green, which
I've never seen before.
I don't think any of us haveseen before.
(17:09):
Speaker of the House Johnsonstopped.
I actually watched Twice.
I had a great time watching himand Vice President Vance last
night.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
I did too.
I love the hot mic moment.
They got caught on as well, didyou catch that.
Speaker 3 (17:19):
I missed that.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
Oh yeah, so they showed it at some point today.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
I saw it a couple of times, I'll throw was doing it
during Biden when the speech wasa stupid campaign speech.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
But yeah, it was funny.
So it was a funny.
It was a funny hot mic moment.
You know, listen, they're notstupid.
I'm sure they knew they were on.
Why else would he whisper tohim something if he didn't know?
Speaker 3 (17:59):
you know.
So they, you know.
As the left got rowdy at thebeginning of the speech, I
watched it happen.
Johnson reached down, he raisedhis microphone up and I was
like here it comes.
And he stood, Gavel stood up.
The president turned around,respected his role as the
speaker.
He reminded everyone of decorum, their responsibility to
(18:19):
maintain decorum.
Green kept going and thenJohnson reminded him again and
then he said okay, you're out,Get Mr Green out of here, you
know.
And now he won't.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
Yeah, and Vance is there going out, get him out.
Speaker 3 (18:35):
Yep, and again, you know I shot across the bow
Listen, we're not messing aroundand I think that was a total
setup.
I think Green was a sacrificiallamb.
I think that was all.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
Oh yeah, he drew the short straw for sure.
Or You're going to be the one.
Speaker 3 (18:48):
Yeah, he might've lobbied for it.
You know he might've asked himto be that person, so but it was
all staged, it was all theater,okay, fine, and so they
escorted him out.
But if you notice, at least forprobably the next 20 or 25
minutes or so, there weresecurity I assume secret service
but there were security movingin and amongst the aisles as
(19:12):
they were watching the conduct.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
I think a couple other people got booted too.
Speaker 3 (19:16):
They got walked out.
Yes, Walked out.
Yeah, I don't know if they gotescorted.
I know there was two or threethat I know got up and just
walked out in the middle.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
Yeah, I would say your main players did not want
to be the ones to cause thescene because they couldn't,
they couldn't bear to be withoutcamera time on themselves.
You know they don't want to beout of the limelight in their
minds.
So you know they, like you said, they're sacrificial lambs.
You know were were the onesthat were designated to be the
ones to get, you know, walkedout or kicked out, whatever the
(19:44):
case was.
But man, oh man, what adisgusting display from them.
And again, I've said it beforein different things that they've
done, I'm glad for it in onlyin that it keeps showing the
American people what they'rereally about.
And you know, and I'm sorry toand for old school Democrats,
you know people who who don'teither know that their party has
(20:08):
been hijacked.
I don't know how you don't knowthis by now, I really don't.
But you know people who kind ofreally don't pay that much
attention, they just kind ofskim the surface of of
information.
You know they're apparentlyoblivious or they just don't
know what to do about it.
You know, and I can understand,I can understand that too.
Like, what do you do your, yourparty that you've affiliated
yourself with maybe your entireadult life is not the party that
(20:31):
you knew.
So what are your options?
Well, you hate us, so you don'twant to be part of us, but,
however, we actually representsome of those old school values
that you think you know yourparty represented.
Just saying right.
Speaker 3 (20:42):
Yeah, so it's.
You know the president started,you know he started into his
speech and he started talkingabout, you know, essentially
recovering from the Bidenadministration.
I mean, I think that's thetheme, but you know you touched
on it earlier is that there wasnot a single thing that he could
say or did say that they werehappy about Right no tax on tips
(21:04):
, no tax on retirement, no taxon you know, any of that, which
is, you know, the Democrats havebeen huge on that Right.
So well, how can you notapplaud that?
They weren't huge on it becauseit was his idea.
But that's that.
That is the flip side theme.
They can't be happy aboutanything that would give
president Trump or theadministration any credit.
So they weren't happy about notax on tips.
(21:25):
They weren't happy about arecovering economy.
They weren't happy about, theyweren't happy about anything.
They weren't happy.
Like you again, the, the, theshamefulness of not even
acknowledging and let's just gothrough some of them.
So you had um of them.
So you had Lake, and Riley'sfamily was there, her mother and
her son.
You had the mother of the 12year old girl who was raped and
(21:45):
killed under the bridge, whichthe president named.
You know he signed an executiveorder right there.
Okay, a little bit of theater,but awesome, right?
Yes, named a wildlife refugeafter that young woman or that
young girl Again, couldn't evenapplaud for that.
You had the border patrol agentwho showed some amazing courage
(22:06):
, you know, protecting hispartner.
He was there, nothing there.
You had the young girl who gotspiked in the head with the
volleyball she was there,nothing there.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
Yeah, wait a minute.
Wait, you mean the women intheir pink jackets for women?
Exactly what.
I'm so confused.
Yeah, jerks.
Speaker 3 (22:24):
Yeah, and then you had the two young ladies who
were guests of the First Lady, Imean the 13-year-old DJ, my man
, dj, dj.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
We got a video of DJ.
I love this.
You want to watch it.
Let's show everybody this.
I love this.
Speaker 5 (22:37):
DJ was diagnosed with brain cancer.
The doctors gave him fivemonths at most to live.
That was more than six yearsago.
(22:57):
I love him and tonight, DJ,we're going to do you the
biggest honor of them all.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
I am asking our new Secret Service Director, Sean
Curran, to officially make cried.
I cried like a baby watchingthat.
I'm tearing up now because itwas so awesome, oh my goodness.
And here is the moment thatthat happened over on the left.
Now, this is just a still, ofcourse, of that.
Speaker 3 (23:49):
This one rolls her eyes.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
Yeah, and that's yeah .
Speaker 3 (23:52):
There was one female Democrat who stood up and
applauded.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
Well, I want to hug that woman.
Thank goodness one person hadthe decency.
Speaker 3 (24:01):
She was sitting closest to the aisle, which I
thought was pretty funny.
Yeah, but there was one.
There was the young man who youknow, president Trump told him
on national television lastnight hey, by the way, you're
going to win.
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
Oh, we have that moment too.
And there's something else.
I want you guys to watch thisone all the way up until the end
.
Speaker 5 (24:25):
And I want you guys to notice something at the end
that you might've missed.
I don't know if you missed it,but we're going to watch it,
just to inform you that yourapplication has been accepted.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
You will soon be joining the Corps of Cadets.
That, that was the moment rightthere.
Speaker 3 (24:45):
So high five.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
Right.
So let me tell you and I thinkwe can all agree on this that
that young man, dj, showed moreclass and and just absolute
coolness in that one moment thanthose Democrats did the entire
night, and if nothing elseshames them the way that they
should be shamed, that should doit.
(25:07):
That was what a great young manboth of them great, great young
men and I'm so excited to seewhat they're going to do in the
future.
Just wow, yeah.
Speaker 3 (25:18):
You know, and then obviously so you know it was
such a huge part of the nightwas their poor conduct.
You know there was two.
You know President Trump has,and he always does this and it's
part of his businessmanpersonality.
Everything that he does is thebest ever.
It's the best anybody's everseen.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
It's nobody's ever seen anything like it?
Nobody's ever seen.
Speaker 3 (25:39):
It Nobody's ever seen anything like it Never happen
again.
Right, which I get it.
You know, I think that that isa some.
Now I think he does it just topoke the Democrats in the eye,
but it is a speech pattern ofhis and it is what it is.
But you know, the Pocahontascrack against Elizabeth Warren.
I could have done without.
I could have done without,although, again, again, a little
(26:00):
bit antagonized, but I thoughtthe best one great thing that he
said.
And then, in a missedopportunity, the great thing
that he said was when he wastalking about the border.
You know, he said oh, theDemocrats kept saying we need
more legislation, we need morelegislation, more legislation.
Well, it turns out, the onlything you need is a new
president Right, that's yeah,mic drop moment.
That was huge.
(26:21):
Is a new president?
Right, that's yeah, mic dropmoment, that was huge.
Um, but what I think he didn'tdo and it would have been highly
antagonistic, but I think heshould have done it anyway is in
one of these moments that we'vebeen talking about, no matter
which one, pick one, lake andRiley, no, no matter what he
should have pointed and saidlook at that, they can't even
stand, for you know, tocelebrate DJ, or they can't
(26:43):
stand to honor the family orthey can't stand to honor that
Border Patrol agent.
He should have directed it atthem.
Yeah, you know, he did it.
Speaker 2 (26:51):
He did it in one moment.
There was one instance where hedid call it out and, you know,
not quite as directly as that,but he did did acknowledge that
they won't stand for anything.
No matter what I do, they won'tstand for it.
But I agree with you.
I think every time there wasone of these moments, he should
have called attention to thefact that they were not
(27:12):
applauding, because, again,think what you want, feel what
you want.
You're not applauding for Trump, you're applauding for these
people who are getting honored,and that is just a classy thing
to do.
It just is, whether you know,you've like again I said it
before whether you think it'stheatrics, whether you think
it's BS, whether you like it ornot, this is what you do as a
(27:33):
human, adult person.
This is what you do.
I really you know, and I'm soglad that we talked about it
last week too and that thisbecame even more under a
spotlight, essentially, of thiskind of behavior.
(27:58):
I really, really want to add newrules to this or just
re-emphasize the ones that arealready on the books probably a
combination of both things thatthere will be a certain amount
of decorum.
That's not just expected, it'sdemanded, and this is the way
it's going to be going forth.
And if you violate this in anyway, that's written, you're out,
(28:20):
you're automatically ejectedand I don't know, you know,
maybe not necessarilyautomatically censure, but but
certainly on the table for that,because it's unacceptable and
there can be.
You want to protest, to haveyour little quiet protest?
Fine, sit with your signs.
I don't like that either, Idon't think it's appropriate.
But if you're going to allowsomething, fine, sit with your
little angry little signs, holdthem up, you know, so you can
(28:41):
make a little spectacle ofyourself, have your own little
theater going on, but you keepyour mouth shut.
You stand when the presidentcomes in, you stand when the
president leaves.
You don't have to stand everytime he says something, you know
, but whatever decorum anddemanded decorum period.
Speaker 3 (28:59):
I don't think I'm wrong.
Do you think I'm wrong?
No, but I have one.
I think Al Green's going to getcensured.
They're already talking aboutit.
Mike Johnson spoke afterwardsand he said that we'll have to
handle this in the normal waythat they handle those things
Him as Speaker of the House,they have a process for that.
But there is discussion of himbeing censured.
Okay, fine, good, hold himaccountable.
Accountability is what you'retalking about.
But I think there's another wayto kind of diffuse it a little
(29:22):
bit.
And so it's a very stark room.
Right, you've got one sideversus the other side.
There's no hiding that.
Right, you have all of theJoint Chiefs.
The Service Chiefs are allsitting there and the Chief
Justices, the Supreme Court,scotus, is all sitting there.
They are bipartisan,non-emotional, apolitical in
their reaction.
(29:43):
They don't stand.
The only time that the servicechief stood was when they
announced that kid going to WestPoint.
But everything else isapolitical for them.
But here's my recommendation,because I think it diffuses
everything is, I think that youseat Congress not by party.
(30:03):
You see Congress by state.
Oh, ok, they all written andyou could do it one of two ways.
You could see them by state forthe Senate, and then you could
see them by state for the House,or you could just see them all
together.
You can see all of Texastogether.
You could see all of you knowCalifornia.
You could see whoever together,and then what you don't have is
that stark difference and,truthfully, the quiet protest
(30:26):
gets masked, because every timeone party stands up and the
other party refuses to stand andyou just don't see them.
They're just not there, andthen that kind of forces a
little bit more.
You know like it takes thesteam out of the sit down
protest crap.
Yes, yes, and I love that.
(30:46):
That takes away everything.
Speaker 2 (30:48):
So, yeah, I love that .
That's brilliant.
Speaker Johnson, hello, do that.
Speaker 3 (30:53):
Throw that out there, I just solved everything right
there.
Problem solved.
I tried.
So that would be an option.
I think it would change thedynamic in the room a lot, yeah,
but I also think that you know,like you said there's, we
expect decorum and I think youknow I was pretty brutal last
(31:15):
night all over social media Iwas posting stuff the whole time
and, truthfully, a single and Iknow, I know and I'm related to
, probably like a lot of us, alot of liberal, you know left
side of the aisle kind of folksnot I did not see a single
person defending the actions oftheir representation.
Now, that may be because theyrefuse to watch because it's
(31:38):
president Trump.
Sure, you know, they just chosenot to do that, but no one
defended what they were doing inany way, shape or form.
I was waiting for some sort ofbut, but, but, but Trump
response and didn't even getthat Right.
Speaker 2 (31:52):
I was kind of waiting for that too, just because of
his jabs, you know it was like,oh, they're going to call him on
presidential and blah, blah,blah.
Speaker 3 (32:02):
Yeah.
The other thing that the, thatnobody from the Democrats
thought through, was all thosesigns.
Have you?
You looked at social mediatoday because pictures of
Congress, of all of them,holding the signs, have all been
turned into memes.
So changing the words, peopleare yeah, nobody thought through
that.
On that side, they did notanticipate.
No.
I mean, and I've seen some onesthat are pretty rough today but
(32:25):
when you've got the whole thatside of the aisle holding signs
and everyone has now changed thewords, like you know, I took a
bribe, I work for Big Pharma,you know.
You know I'm a warmonger, likeall of those signs say all those
kinds of things, that's awesome.
The Internet did what theinternet does.
Speaker 2 (32:42):
It does what it does and it did what it did and I
love it.
I love when they do that.
Oh, that's so great and youknow to your point.
As far as like reactions fromthe public, from the American
people, there were a couple,couple different polls.
So, according to a CNN instantpoll, approximately 69% of
viewers, 69 percent of viewers,had at least a somewhat positive
(33:05):
reaction to Trump's speech,with 44 percent describing it as
very positive.
Those are high numbers, highnumbers.
And then CBS News had a polland there's found that 76
percent of the viewers approvedof Trump's speech while 23
percent disapproved.
Percent of the viewers approvedof Trump's speech while 23
percent disapproved.
(33:26):
76 percent approval is prettygood in this arena, probably in
most arenas, right?
Speaker 3 (33:29):
Oh, that's yeah.
Nobody's seen numbers like thatsince right after 9-11.
That just hasn't happened.
Side note on CNN though I sawthis yesterday.
You didn't know this.
I know you didn't know this.
I know you didn't.
Did you know that jake tapperof all people hosts a show on
cnn called american scandal?
No, I had no idea.
(33:50):
There are so many jokes there Ican't even write them all down.
Like tapper of all people, yeahyou weren't of all networks
talking about american scandalslike it's wow does?
Speaker 2 (34:02):
Does he cover his own at all about the fact that,
right, like I'm guessing, no,I'm sure there's no mention of
that book.
He just wrote about Biden'sdecline and basically everybody
knowing about it and covering up, including himself, right,
which he denied during the time.
But now he writes this bookthat basically says oh yeah, we
all knew it was a mess, thatthat was crazy, guys, how bad it
(34:24):
was.
And it's like dude, um, youwere part of covering that up.
Yeah, whatever, yeah, this is,this is how much I don't care.
Speaker 3 (34:33):
I saw that yesterday and I just I laughed out loud.
Speaker 2 (34:36):
Yeah, I made a skit about it too.
Of course I made a skit aboutit, but yeah, oh man, that's
pretty funny I they, I think,their actual favorite.
You know, I always think thattheir favorite thing is hating
America, hating Trump, hatingAmerica.
But I think their favoritething is being ironic all the
time, right.
Speaker 3 (34:56):
I think that their favorite thing is just being
miserable, that their favoritething is just being miserable,
did they not all just lookabsolutely miserable last night?
Miserable, I know, I know Ifyou're an elected American
politician and you cheer forAmerica, you can't do it Like it
would.
Speaker 2 (35:13):
It would kill you that much to cheer, I mean.
And there were, there are somany great things that he's he's
done, we did done.
I did this side by side, I gotto pull it up real quick, hang
on.
Speaker 3 (35:24):
Yeah right.
Speaker 2 (35:26):
I mean just saying, guys, and I was nice, I was nice
, I posted this on my socialmedia, which is very, very, very
true.
I said I had so many things Iwanted to caption this with, but
the Holy Spirit said, girl,don't do it.
So that's all I did.
(35:47):
So thank you to the Holy Spiritfor keeping me acting basically
right.
But you know, joking aside,joking aside, there are really
so many incredible things thathe talked about last night that
he did, and of course they are,you know, they look for they do
the truth or fact checkers andall that stuff.
And you know, whatever, I don'teven care about any of that.
(36:08):
But I want to kind of go.
I think this is from thebeginning, let's see.
So economic policies talkedabout.
He emphasizes administration'seffort to reduce regulations,
implement tax cuts and imposetariffs.
Everybody's freaking out overtariffs, right, but all aimed at
protecting American industry.
So he touched on that.
He touched on, of course, as wekind of talked a little bit.
(36:29):
He talked about immigration andborder security, reiterated the
importance of border securitymeasures.
You know all of that stuff.
I think he gave numbers to, orI.
He said no, actually I takethat back.
I don't think he said numbersbut talked about that this was
the lowest crossings in like thehistory of this issue, yeah,
(36:50):
you know.
Speaker 3 (36:51):
So it's like February was 8,300 and change.
Wow, compared to millions, right, you know yeah, hundreds of
thousands, tens of thousands onon, you know, any given month.
So, yeah, so there's that.
And then, even you know,leading up to you, want to talk
art of the deal like if hewanted and he should pat himself
on the back.
But the entire thing withZielinski leading up to this.
(37:14):
And then the day of uh,yesterday, all of a sudden
Zielinski comes groveling back.
You know, and I and I went upand down with a bunch of a
sudden Zelensky comes grovelingback and I went up and down with
a bunch of people online whodon't know and understand
diplomacy, who only saw the10-minute clip of the heated
tempers and the raised voices,and they are embarrassed and
(37:34):
they hate the president and thisis not how you do things, and
blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
And again, these people knownothing.
They don't know about the weeksand weeks of work for the
mineral deal that was leading upto the meeting.
They don't know, didn't knowthat Zelensky had talked to
Democrats and had been, you know, railroaded prior to.
They didn't know any of thatstuff.
They just passed judgment onthe 10 minutes and I and I have
(37:56):
friends at state department, asyou can imagine.
You know, I even told peoplethat I said listen, you don't
know the context of this.
I know people at StateDepartment, I have talked to
them, I know what happenedleading up to this and I
literally I got people told methat I was lying.
They told me to shut up.
They told me there was no waythat I knew things that they
(38:16):
didn't know.
Like it was ridiculous.
And then, of course, 36 hoursafter it happens, zielinski's
like hey, hey, uh hey I'm sorry,I yeah my bad
yeah, I need some help, you know, because outside of england and
france, if you haven't seen it,the rest of europe is following
his lead.
Italy said no, they shut downall like.
(38:39):
They were asked would they sendtroops?
Their president or primeminister, whatever she is, was
like not our troops.
And then, oh, by the way, cutoff all aid.
I think it was Romania, hungary, I think, same thing we're not
doing this.
So Europe has got their head onstraight for the most part, and
they have said we're not doingthis and they're following
President Trump's lead.
So, zelensky, he's in a hardspot, but what President Trump
(39:04):
was trying to do with all thatwas just get people to the table
, just start the negotiation.
That's what he's looking for.
And people again who don'tunderstand diplomacy.
They don't know what he wasdoing or why he was doing it.
All they heard was raisedvoices, and so it is what it is.
Speaker 2 (39:20):
Quarterbacks right armchair quarterbacks, zero
experience in diplomacy andnegotiations and world issues
and relations, are sitting there.
Well, you know what he shouldhave done?
Yeah, you know what I wouldhave done.
Yeah, shut up already.
You sound so dumb when you saythat, right there was.
Speaker 3 (39:41):
There was a lot of people who, like, sent me the
Webster's dictionary definitionof diplomacy and don't
understand that you know thecontext of any of it.
Speaker 2 (39:50):
So it was absurd.
Speaker 3 (39:53):
from the get go it was absurd and.
Speaker 2 (39:55):
I think it's cute and I said that very sarcastically
I think it's cute that theybelieve that those behind closed
doors conversations that wedon't get to see are all nice
and friendly and sweet and theyhave tea together and they say
nice things to each other.
Now, that's probably exactlywhat it looks like behind closed
doors, just add in some swears.
(40:16):
You know some table banging andsome FUs.
You know some table banging andsome FUs.
It's not going to be and I'venever seen it, but I'm not
stupid so I know it's not pretty.
Behind closed doors.
Zelensky screwed up by wantingthe press there.
He thought that that was goingto help him and it did.
I mean it did for the leftbecause they're, all you know, a
bunch of suckers.
Speaker 3 (40:37):
Yeah, he what he and, and trying to renegotiate in
front of the cameras yeah, goodluck with that, is really what
you know.
Turned things sideways becausethe intent, entire intent, for
that visit was for him to comeand sign the deal that the state
department had negotiated withthem prior to the visit for the
mineral rights, like that's whatit was for.
It was supposed to be veryceremonial a sit down, have a
(40:58):
good talk, sign the document,very all that, and then have
lunch, which, by the way, allthe staffers got to eat, because
, after he acted like a jackass,president trump lost his ass
out of the, out of the whitehouse and all the staffers got
to eat the lunch.
So I love it.
And then again, 36 hours later,hat in hand, zielinski says oh,
I, we need to make things rightand I, you know, we, we can
sign this deal, I'm ready tosign this deal, and you know so.
(41:20):
President Trump didn't flaunthow right he was during the
speech last night, which I thinkhe could have done.
Speaker 2 (41:28):
I'm sure it was very tempting to oh yeah, it had to
be so painful to not look overthere to his right and say I
told you so I wouldn't haveblamed him if he did, but I'm
glad he didn't.
I'm glad he didn't.
And you know, silence is golden, right?
Just you go ahead, run yourmouth, run your mouth, talk like
(41:48):
you know what you're saying.
And you know, just like everyother time that you have gone
Banshee wild and thinking that Iruined everything and I'm going
to, you know, bring us into a Idon't know third world war by
negotiating peace, cause thatmakes sense, right?
Okay, yeah, he's.
He doesn't have to say a wholeheck of a lot anymore because
(42:09):
the actions have proven him tobe right Every single time.
Every single time his actionshave been spot on.
So they can suck it, yeah.
Speaker 3 (42:21):
Yeah, and he listed out, you know, the Apple.
He listed the new Honda plantthat's going in.
He listed, you know, and all ofthat is a result from the
tariffs.
What people don't, what theyrefuse to understand about
tariffs, is they think that thatis somehow going to break any
relationship we have with anycountry, and mostly because
they're listening to Trudeau,who's an idiot anyway.
(42:43):
Do me a favor, folks, lookaround your house, walk around.
Find anything that you own thatsays made in Canada on it,
please, because you don't ownanything.
I can promise you the onlything you own that was probably
made in Canada was a US ownedautomobile.
Right, they do.
A ton of our automobiles areassembled in Canada, but that's
it.
That's all you got.
(43:03):
And so you know he's been rightabout that.
Honda is pulling a you know afactory out of Mexico and
putting it in, I think, inIndiana.
Apple $500 billion, billiondollars, billion dollars, right,
yes, so all of those things arehappening.
He did talk about the economyand you know the other thing
about the way that thesespeeches are structured and the
(43:25):
way that you've got the silentdissent, you know, and all of
that why I think they reallyneed to mix up the audience is
the speeches afterwards by theparty representative.
I don't know if you stayed upthat long.
I know we were already pushingyour bedtime.
Pushing the luck now, Now assoon as he was done, I was done,
I'm like, and then I so Iwatched representative Slotnick,
(43:45):
uh, from, um, I think she'sfrom Michigan, um, and so she is
a former CIA agent.
She's a junior Congresswoman,um, and they chose her to give
the rebuttal speech.
Um, and, and I'll give you theshort version of the speech he
hasn't fixed anything and thingsare getting worse.
And it's this is.
(44:07):
You know, this is all bad, butagain, there's no ownership.
Over the last four years,there's no reality checkup.
It's only been six weeks.
There's no like, there's noacknowledgement of the things
that have been accomplished.
You know, there's.
There's only doom and gloom andthreats.
Oh, by the way, she took a potshot at Elon Musk and his gang
(44:28):
of 20-somethings, 20-year-oldsgang of 20-year-olds, which okay
, I'm going to say this for the50th time, representative
Slotnick 20-year-olds can voteand they can put on a uniform
and they can die for theircountry.
If you don't trust them toaudit the United States
government, you're wrong.
You are wrong, right?
Oh, by the way, your entireparty thinks that they can make
(44:49):
decisions about abortion, abouttheir gender, about sex changes
and all kinds of other stuff,and oh, by the way you want kids
to vote as early as 16 becauseit benefits your party, so get
your messaging straight.
Stop with the 20-year-old crap,because it doesn't hold water.
Oh, by the way, every one ofthose kids and listen, she's a
CIA analyst.
So she's a smart lady.
(45:11):
There's no doubt about it, butevery one of those 20 year olds
is smarter than she is, everysingle one of them.
Speaker 2 (45:15):
Yeah, yep, absolutely .
And there was, that was ahundred percent Clay's mic drop
for the night because that wasso spot on, like I want to stand
up and applaud for you rightnow because that was so spot on,
that was so good, clay, and soso true, and you know.
And another thing that they youknow, another hallmark of their
behaviors and of course I'mtalking about these Democrat
(45:37):
leaders I hate using that wordand them in the same sentence
but another hallmark of theirbehavior is that they complain
and complain and bitch and moanabout everything, but they
everything, but they never offersolutions, zero solutions.
So, unless you can offer equalor better solutions that you
(45:58):
like, sit down and shut up.
It's that simple, right?
If you're just going tocomplain with, adding no value
to the conversation, I don'twant to hear it, not even
listening.
Speaker 3 (46:09):
Yeah, their, their solution is the status quo.
That's what it is.
Their solution is biggovernment.
Their solution is the statusquo.
The solution is nanny state.
Uh, it's, you know, free stuff.
Uh, people can't make decisionsfor themselves, because that's
what keeps them in power, that'swhat they want, and so their
solution is that.
And it's again.
Yeah, and it is opposite of themandate that the president was
(46:33):
given in the last election.
By winning and he hit it, hetalked about it won every facet
of the vote popular electoralcounties, you know, won the
House, the Senate, like it'sclean sweep.
Know one that you know theHouse, the Senate, like they
clean sweep.
Speaker 2 (46:49):
And the Democrats just don't get it.
They don't get it, and you knowthey keep trying to spin this,
as you know.
Well, is this what you votedfor?
I don't think this is what youknow.
This is exactly what we votedfor.
Exactly what we voted for,Because you know why.
Trump told us everything thathe planned on doing before he
came into office.
He has been telling us allalong, and the American people
(47:11):
collectively said yes, yes,that's what we want, and he's
delivering it.
So how?
Stomp your feet, wave yourlittle flags, wear your little
pink jackets, make your little,you know, theater.
Um, yeah, this is what wewanted and yeah, we're happy.
Speaker 3 (47:28):
He did also.
I just remembered one otherfunny from last night and that
was going down the numbers ofactive accounts in social
security yes, I talked aboutlast week we did.
And he got to the end and helooks at Kennedy and he goes hey
, bobby, looks like we got ahealthier country than we
thought we did.
Speaker 2 (47:45):
He's so funny.
He's so funny.
I love him.
I do, I love him.
I love him.
We've talked about this before,my evolution of feelings about
President Trump from his firstpresidency in between to now.
And it started with acceptance,not love.
We are at love.
Speaker 3 (48:09):
I love him.
I don't even care.
Who knows that people.
Let's hit on one more, and itdoesn't have anything to do with
last night.
Okay, we'll hit on one moreexample of poor decorum and
hypocrisy coming out of, andthat is democratic
representative velasquez, yeswho, in a speech, said Elon Musk
, what the hell are you evendoing here in America?
(48:31):
Go back to Africa.
What Could you imagine?
Could you imagine that was sostunning A Republican saying
that at all, yeah, the uproar,the outrage.
Speaker 2 (48:46):
I mean it would have been, oh my goodness, you can't,
you can't even, you can't evenmeasure, you can't even quantify
what would have happened ifthat were a Republican saying
that to or about a Democrat.
Like that's where we're at withtheir mentality, or I mean
that's where they've been at allalong.
But the difference now is, isnobody's going to be taking that
nonsense?
(49:06):
You know that's that is insane.
So she claims that her remarkswere based on a social media
post.
Oh no, she actually claimedthat she saw a video where he
said exactly so you know, liar,liar, pants on fire.
lady, you didn't see a video.
Speaker 3 (49:25):
You saw a meme and you fell for it.
The video doesn't exist.
Doesn't exist, snopes of all,people said didn't happen,
doesn't exist, the video's notout there, and she swore she saw
it and then made a claim inresponse to that.
Listen, I would love to look atAOC right in the face and tell
her to get her ass back behindthe bar.
Speaker 4 (49:45):
I really would.
Speaker 3 (49:46):
Right, yeah, listen, I would love to look at AOC
right in the face and tell herto get her ass back behind the
bar.
I really would, right, becausethat's about where she belongs
and about what she's capable of.
There's a lot of people thatwould love to tell Ilyan Omar go
back to Somalia, right, there'sa lot of people that would love
to say that.
But it's not our electedofficials, right?
Our elected officials don't saythings like that.
Right?
And we were listen folks.
We were on Dan Crenshaw lastweek for him acting like an
(50:06):
idiot too, right.
Speaker 2 (50:07):
Absolutely yeah, this is not one-sided here.
Speaker 3 (50:11):
No, this is about acting like a grownup, and again
, there's plenty of it nothappening at you know, from our
elected officials, and this isjust one more example, you know,
of people not you know,performing the way that we
expect them to to, or sayingwhat we expect them to in public
as a representative Listen,behind closed doors, I get it.
You even talked about it, right, the diplomatic meetings behind
(50:31):
closed doors.
I don't care about any of thatthey get loud and all that.
Speaker 2 (50:35):
Right.
Speaker 3 (50:35):
Okay, not in public, and not in front of a microphone
, for sure.
Speaker 2 (50:41):
No, just saw it before, a little while before we
came on.
Uh, you know another one whowho's like now just making it
her thing to be as trashy andgarbage as she possible.
Can that jasmine crockett?
Speaker 3 (50:53):
oh yeah, now she's the one they.
They thought she was going tothrow.
She was the one who was goingto throw eggs.
Of course she was.
Yeah, it was going to be yeahyeah, I, I'm done with her.
Speaker 1 (51:02):
What's up, what?
Speaker 2 (51:03):
did you do just more of the same dropping f-bombs,
you know, talking about Trump,talking about Elon Musk.
Of course, you know, it's justF-bomb after F-bomb.
And then there's this video ofher.
I'm guessing I don't know whereshe is, I don't know if she's
in her personal offices or inthe corridor, but her and her I
don't know associates orassistants maybe, but they're
(51:24):
doing that, kendrick Lamar dancedown the hall Like this is what
we're doing at work, like thisis what you're doing at work.
Really, on my dime, I don'tthink so.
So, yeah, I just I really wantto see some serious, you know
consequences to this kind ofbehavior because I'm done with
it.
I think, as Americans, we'redone with it.
We don't need this kind ofpopcorn theater, you know.
Speaker 3 (51:46):
You can hold people accountable and you can make get
your point across without beingvulgar, right, without you know
, dropping a level of decorum.
Nancy Mace today.
Representative Mace today had agreat one.
She had all the mayors thesanctuary city mayors were
testifying today, right.
So she asked a very simplequestion of if you have an
illegal alien, who, who has been, you know, accused or is being
(52:10):
held on, has committed a crime,a heinous crime, I think she
said.
She asked the mayors yes or noquestion, is it OK to release
them back into the population?
Eric Adams from New York wasfirst.
He started to answer.
She cut him off and said it's ayes or no question.
Make it very simple, right.
And he and he and he said no ina very in a longer winded way
(52:32):
than he should have.
I don't remember who the nextone was who basically said no
very quickly.
And then she got to the mayorof Chicago who said you know he
started out well, you know theindividual person, blah, blah,
and she said no, no, it's a yesor no question, yes or no.
And he kept going and he keptanswering in his long-winded,
very non-committal, and she saidyou know what?
That's why you have a sixpercent approval rating because
(52:53):
you suck at answering questions.
Next, and she moved to the nextperson.
Good, right, point made right,no vulgarity, firm right.
Gave him an opportunity toanswer.
That he didn't do, didn't callhim names, no, and oh, by the
way, fact, 6.6 approval ratingin the city of chicago, worst
ever 6.6.
(53:15):
That's bad yeah in a democratcity like the bluest of blue.
There hasn't been a republicanmayor in chicago in over 120
years.
Speaker 2 (53:24):
That's crazy they, can they.
This might be a stupid they canimpeach, can't they?
Oh?
Speaker 3 (53:30):
yeah, yeah so.
Speaker 2 (53:31):
I'm a little stunned that that process hasn't been
begun because that's as good aszero right, give it a minute.
Speaker 3 (53:38):
Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (53:39):
Come on guys, step it up, oh my goodness.
Speaker 3 (53:43):
In fact, you know my, my home state of Illinois,
you're starting to see a littlebit of a red turn.
We just had a DuPage Countywhich, for those of you not
familiar with the area, cookCounty is Chicago.
Dupage County is the biggestcounty, right outside the city.
The DuPage County sheriff justannounced he is running for
governor as a Republican, sowe'll see how, yeah, things are
(54:06):
changing, hopefully, in Illinois.
Speaker 2 (54:08):
So yeah, yeah, you know listen I mean.
I say on repeat that I'm so gladthat they're doing the things
that they're doing, that they'rebeing as awful as they're being
, and you know, and I alwaysgive the caveat that because
it's showing the American people, you know, what you don't want
any more of.
But yeah, obviously, in aperfect world everyone's going
(54:28):
to act right and do the rightthings and, and you know,
disagree and argue and debate ina mature, productive way.
We're not there.
So you know, I am again gladthat they keep showing who they
are, because this, this willkeep turning that tide red
everywhere at this rate.
You know, the more they dig in,the more they dig their claws
(54:50):
in on these belief systems andideologies and insanity and
anti-American rhetoric.
Then good, here we are, here wego.
Speaker 3 (55:01):
Bring it.
I know, by the way, you've gota president who is.
He was a lame duck walking inthe door.
He does not care, right, hedoesn't care.
All he's doing is settingthings up for you know, jd Vance
, and yes, we'll see whathappens.
Speaker 2 (55:16):
But yeah, who's been doing phenomenal, huge,
continually.
Continuing to be a huge JDVance fan and Marco Rubio is
bringing me lots of joy, man,lots of joy for Marco Rubio.
Speaker 3 (55:28):
He's amazing, he is.
Every time I hear him speakit's like there is not a single
misstep in anything he says.
Media on TV being interviewedoff the cuff like that guy is
phenomenal.
Speaker 2 (55:41):
I can't and I got to say as a Cuban and I got to say
as a.
Speaker 1 (55:45):
Cuban.
I'm loving it.
Lots of props there, yeah.
Speaker 2 (55:47):
Loving it so much.
So, yeah, oh, my goodness, Imean we did pretty good.
I mean I think we got prettymuch through everything that was
going on.
I'm glancing at my notes hereon the side.
We did pretty darn good.
I mean we covered as much asyou humanly can cover on that.
Thanks to Clay for keeping uson track with it, because you

on Wednesday.
You'll be watching this onThursday, so when we refer to
last night, that's why, yeah.
So I want to make sure I saythat because you know what
happens.
You know what will happen,right?
Speaker 3 (02:35):
Every week somebody says they ask us a question
which you and I are always inthe comments.
We're always there hanging out.
Yes, they want to ask us a livequestion, as if we can respond
on video, which we cannot do.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
No, can't do it, Not unless we.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
I don't know what.
Well, we've done a couple oflive shows.
We should probably do anotherone of those.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
Yeah, we're getting due for one we're getting due
for one.
Yeah, we'll bring one to youguys pretty soon.
Yeah, last night would havebeen a fun one.
It would have been a long one.
Last night would have been ablast.
Yeah, yes, yeah.
Oh, my gosh, it was so good.
So in case you missed it, Ihighly doubt that you did, or
maybe you're like me in mynormal routine of just catching
the highlights and lowlightsafter the fact and just enjoying
(03:16):
a quiet evening.
Whatever the case, you knowthat President Trump addressed
the Congress last night and itwas 100 minutes long and
apparently the longest addresson date, right or thus far, I
think.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
Yeah, it was.
You know, I didn't understandor I guess I never realized that
.
You know, I think it wasPresident Reagan that started
doing this right at thebeginning of because it's not a
State of the Union, right, it's,you know, six weeks or five,
six weeks into office and justgive a status update or you know
, kind of here's where we are,here's what my for the term, and
(03:57):
so he was the first one to dothis and it's kind of been the
norm ever since, go figure,reagan came up with another good
idea.
Of course he did yeah.
Since, go figure, reagan cameup with another good idea, of
course he did yeah, but this wasso it's not a State of the
Union, but it was longer than aState of the.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
Union and much, much more involved.
Yeah, and I'm not going to lie,I actually had some confusion
there at one point when I was,you know, kind of wrapping my
brain around talking about thisand doing that.
I'm like and I almost typed outState of the Union.
I'm like, wait, wait, wait,wait.
No, it's not the state of theunion.
What are we actually callingthis?
So I'm just calling itaddressing Congress, Like I'm
sure there's a better name forit, Like is there an actual term
(04:32):
for it?
And I don't even know it.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
I think they refer to it as addressing a joint
session of Congress.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
Okay, there you go, no-transcript other spots where
(05:14):
people have, you know, notnecessarily made that mistake,
but made that comparison.
So, yeah, I mean I guess we canwalk it right down from the
beginning, right, you know,right off the bat there were
issues and I didn't know thispart until you told me off
camera about his walking in,what was supposed to happen.
So you go ahead and tell themthat.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
We can even go before that.
So, security wise, you knowPresident Trump is a bit of a
special case, having twoassassination attempts prior to,
you know, on the campaign trail.
So, the Secret Service, therewas reports of a protest
somewhere on the main routebetween the White House and the
Capitol building.
So they loaded up an entireconvoy as if it was the
(05:52):
president and drove it on thenormal route and it occupied the
protesters, when in realitythey took the president and they
went around the back route andthey got him there.
Just it seemed like maybe aminute or two late, but they
knew it was coming.
So, secret Service, obviouslywe've seen an improvement
already, that quick.
But to address what you weretalking about.
So I didn't know this, but theymade a mention of it.
(06:14):
You know, last night thecommentary that when they have
these, they're supposed to be abipartisan delegation that
escorts the president intochambers.
Outside the door You've gotDemocrats and Republicans and
that the Democrat side, the blueside delegation, didn't show up
.
So there was no bipartisanescort, which set up the
(06:37):
attitude for the entire evening.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
Oh, absolutely yeah.
Yeah, it was.
It was already set in motionand, of course, it was set in
motion in motion Alreadybeforehand.
There were rumors of the typesof antics that they were
considering doing.
There were some reports thatthey were considering throwing
eggs, which, as you said, beforewe came on air like they
probably realized very quicklythat the consequences of
(07:02):
throwing something at thepresident of the United States
would result in something thatthey really would not want to
happen.
You know so, more than justgetting booted out of the room
there, right, yeah?
Speaker 3 (07:13):
Yeah, I think best case scenario would have been a
physical, like you know,physical reaction by Secret
Service.
In other words, you knowsomebody would have jumped on
the president, somebody wouldhave physically jumped on
whoever tossed the egg.
There would have been somephysical contact for sure, at a
minimum.
And in a worst case scenario,you know you've got a president
(07:35):
who again has had twoassassination attempts.
Somebody throws something athim.
You know Secret Service reactsand you know, potentially
somebody gets really, reallyhurt, even potentially somebody
getting shot.
So yeah, I think they I don'tknow, I mean they were rumors.
You were right, use the rightword.
But if somebody had consideredthat, hopefully they thought
better and that's why we didn'tsee any of that, not that we
(07:56):
didn't see any antics, but wedid not.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
Yeah, so you know we'll talk about, we'll talk
about the Democrats for a momentand and we'll be talking about
(08:25):
them for several momentsthroughout this Republicans and
you know, whatever party leaderthere is, you know taking center
stage there.
You know that's normal, it iswhat it is.
This was a level ofdistastefulness that exceeded
everything, and there is nothing.
And I'll tell you what if youare on the left, if you are a
(08:45):
Democrat, and you are applauding, sitting, you know, back in
your living room or wherever youmay have watched this, and
applauding that behavior, shameon you.
Shame on you.
That is absolutely appalling,grotesque, really.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
Yeah, and it started from the get go.
So you know and listen folks,there have been incidences in
the past where Republicans havebooed Democratic presidents, you
know, and things that they havesaid you know along the way.
I believe that's the level ofescalation that it's gotten to
(09:20):
prior to this.
But of course, as witheverything else, it escalates
every time.
So, as we all saw last nightthat watched and those that
didn't, you know, the firstthing that stuck out was all the
pink, which was the biggest bitof hypocrisy ever, because the
intent behind that was, you know, all the female Congress people
, congresswomen, talking abouthow they were wearing pink to
(09:44):
represent women's issues whenearlier, in the very same day,
the day before, they votedagainst protecting women in
locker rooms and allowingtransgender.
Not a single Democrat voted infavor of that, you know, in
locker rooms.
So hypocrisy there.
And you couldn't miss the pinkRight.
Which was the intent Right.
Message sent, message received,but the hypocritical part of it
(10:07):
was which was the intent Right?
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Message sent, message received, but the hypocritical
part of it was not lost onanyone, right?
Yeah, that wasn't lost onanyone.
You know anyone payingattention?
Certainly, yeah, I saw thatright away Somebody.
I didn't pause it or screenshotit to see what it actually said
because I didn't care that much, but I did see that at least
one of them had, you know, hadwriting all over her blazer.
You know, I'm sure, all theirlittle catchphrases and slogans
on there and you know whateverelse, but yes, absolutely, and
(10:31):
that was a theme for the eveningtoo.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
So you saw it.
As the president walked in andI don't know who it was, there
was again a Democrat femaleholding a sign that says this is
not normal.
I also saw, as the presidentpassed her, a Republican reached
across the aisle, grabbed itand flipped it in the air.
I want to.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
can we all just take bets right now on what, what
time and day her lawsuit forassault will come out, Because
you know that's going to happen?
Speaker 3 (10:58):
I thought that was going to escalate.
Truthfully, it certainly couldhave.
Yeah, thankfully it didn't,because my concern was the
proximity of the president hewas.
Could have.
Yeah, thankfully it didn't,because my concern was the
proximity of the president.
He was right there, right.
So I thought if somebodydecided to, that was risky
reaching across the aisle bythat Republican.
That did that, yes, but hadthat escalated even further,
that could have gotten very,very ugly, with the president
(11:18):
right there.
So.
But we saw the signs for therest of the night.
You saw that.
You know the circular signsthat were actually, you know
they kind of look like somethingout of an auction, but they
also, you know they had thingson both sides.
I think they were actually likeclackers Um, oh, okay, but I'm
not positive Um.
And then, of course, you had umwhat's her name?
That had her own dry eraseboard.
(11:39):
Oh, she had like a whiteboardright Was was a whiteboard that
she used to leave, she would,you know, dry erase board
herself, whatever it was issuethat she wanted to address.
So the signs you know thatmessaging was definitely a theme
for the evening and preplannedobviously, Of course, Of course.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
Although I have to say, you know it did not look
like one of their usualcoordinated efforts.
There was obviously somecoordination there and some
planning between them.
Coordinated efforts, there wasobviously some coordination
there and some planning betweenthem.
But you know you had, unlessthey just like, divided it all
up, like, okay, your cause isgoing to be Ukraine, so you wear
all your you know your blue andgold and your cause is going to
be women, and you know what Imean.
(12:16):
So you had these differentfactions of their, their little
merry band of morons and, um,you like that one, I like that
one too.
Okay, can we pause it's prettyfitting Well done.
Yeah, thank you, thank you,thank you.
So once in a while I come outwith a good one.
But yeah, you know, you hadthese little different factions
and I think they simply couldn'tdecide what their messaging was
going to be.
You know, I think they wereprobably infighting about it,
(12:37):
like, well, I think we shouldall wear black, because that was
, that was a thing.
There were people wearing black, which you know they can
mourning over.
You know this new presidency,but you know, again, all of the
things that they wererepresenting in their little
anger, all equally showed theiridiocy and their hypocrisy and
(12:59):
their absolute abhorrence andhatred of America, of this
country.
Abhorrence and hatred ofAmerica, of this country.
You can't hate this countrymore than these people presented
themselves as doing, and youknow, case in point they could
not stand, they could not clapfor one single positive thing.
And we're talking about andwe'll go down the list a little
more thoroughly, but we'retalking about a child who
(13:21):
survived brain cancer, a familyof a girl who was brutally
murdered by an illegal alien, aslain officer.
You can't stand for children.
You can't stand up for you.
Your hatred is so consumingthat you can't even pause that
(13:45):
for a moment and look at thatbeautiful sweet child and clap
for him.
You're not clapping for Trump.
You want to call it theater.
Call it theater, I don't carewhat you call it.
It's not theater to that littleboy.
It's not theater to him.
It's not theater to thosefamilies who lost loved ones.
It's real for them.
You know that to me wasprobably like the lowest of lows
(14:06):
that they reached that night.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
Yeah, well they.
You know it started with themnot rising when the president
walked in.
So, that's, that's part of it.
And, if you notice, he walkedin and he was.
He did maybe three people downthe line Cause he was shaking
hands.
He turned left, he realizedthat nobody was standing over
there, so he kept right and thenhe started kind of laughing and
doing one, you know, like, canyou believe?
These guys just kept going.
So they set the precedent andagain, I don't think I've ever
(14:31):
seen that before and that iswhether they respect President
Trump or not.
That's disrespect to the office.
Yeah, that's that's wherethings start to degrade.
Cruz went off on a on a rantafter it was over with about
that exact thing and he saidhe's like I didn't respect
President Obama, I booedPresident Obama.
He admitted that there was somecontentious things that
(14:53):
happened, but he said it everysingle time, every single
Democratic president walked inchambers, he goes you get up off
your butt and you stand upbecause you respect the office.
And that's where the decorum wetalked about this last week and
we're going to talk about it alot because it was a huge part
of last night Right, the decorum, the respect, the mutual
respect, the acting like a grownup has kind of gone out the
(15:16):
window.
Admittedly, there were somethat happened, including by the
president himself, that I wouldprefer doesn't happen, but
obviously the vast majority ofit was on the on the left.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
You know, yeah, absolutely.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
Yeah, I think so.
And you know, I think and I'mnot making excuses, just seeing
it for what it was I think thatyou know his, his comments were
definitely, I think, retaliatory.
You know his, his comments weredefinitely, I think,
retaliatory.
You know, I think it wasdefinitely like I think he would
have if they had shown just anounce of respect, just an ounce
of maturity.
(15:52):
I think he probably would havekept it pretty fair.
You know he's going to call outI mean, he's going to call out
the previous administration, nomatter what.
That's a given.
But I don't think he would havebeen antagonistic to them in
the audience there as much,maybe a little bit, but not
nearly as much.
(16:13):
And I'm sure you're probablyreferring to the Pocahontas
comment.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
Yeah, I mean, that's one for sure, you know.
So he started out the speechand it started out great, you
know.
But again it set the tonebecause you know he started out.
America is back Right and hugeapplause from, you know,
everybody on the conservativeside, and again nothing from the
Democrats, which againreiterated the fact that they
(16:37):
won't, can't, cheer for America.
They're so blinded by you know,I don't like the term Trump
derangement syndrome, but thereisn't a better one out there.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
It just isn't right now.
Somebody will come up with it.
Speaker 3 (16:48):
So they're.
You know they sat there.
Their disdain for him as aperson and as a president clouds
everything else, so theycouldn't even cheer for that.
And then of course, we got that.
That prompted the whole thingwith Representative Green, which
I've never seen before.
I don't think any of us haveseen before.
(17:09):
Speaker of the House Johnsonstopped.
I actually watched Twice.
I had a great time watching himand Vice President Vance last
night.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
I did too.
I love the hot mic moment.
They got caught on as well, didyou catch that.
Speaker 3 (17:19):
I missed that.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
Oh yeah, so they showed it at some point today.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
I saw it a couple of times, I'll throw was doing it
during Biden when the speech wasa stupid campaign speech.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
But yeah, it was funny.
So it was a funny.
It was a funny hot mic moment.
You know, listen, they're notstupid.
I'm sure they knew they were on.
Why else would he whisper tohim something if he didn't know?
Speaker 3 (17:59):
you know.
So they, you know.
As the left got rowdy at thebeginning of the speech, I
watched it happen.
Johnson reached down, he raisedhis microphone up and I was
like here it comes.
And he stood, Gavel stood up.
The president turned around,respected his role as the
speaker.
He reminded everyone of decorum, their responsibility to
(18:19):
maintain decorum.
Green kept going and thenJohnson reminded him again and
then he said okay, you're out,Get Mr Green out of here, you
know.
And now he won't.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
Yeah, and Vance is there going out, get him out.
Speaker 3 (18:35):
Yep, and again, you know I shot across the bow
Listen, we're not messing aroundand I think that was a total
setup.
I think Green was a sacrificiallamb.
I think that was all.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
Oh yeah, he drew the short straw for sure.
Or You're going to be the one.
Speaker 3 (18:48):
Yeah, he might've lobbied for it.
You know he might've asked himto be that person, so but it was
all staged, it was all theater,okay, fine, and so they
escorted him out.
But if you notice, at least forprobably the next 20 or 25
minutes or so, there weresecurity I assume secret service
but there were security movingin and amongst the aisles as
(19:12):
they were watching the conduct.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
I think a couple other people got booted too.
Speaker 3 (19:16):
They got walked out.
Yes, Walked out.
Yeah, I don't know if they gotescorted.
I know there was two or threethat I know got up and just
walked out in the middle.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
Yeah, I would say your main players did not want
to be the ones to cause thescene because they couldn't,
they couldn't bear to be withoutcamera time on themselves.
You know they don't want to beout of the limelight in their
minds.
So you know they, like you said, they're sacrificial lambs.
You know were were the onesthat were designated to be the
ones to get, you know, walkedout or kicked out, whatever the
(19:44):
case was.
But man, oh man, what adisgusting display from them.
And again, I've said it beforein different things that they've
done, I'm glad for it in onlyin that it keeps showing the
American people what they'rereally about.
And you know, and I'm sorry toand for old school Democrats,
you know people who who don'teither know that their party has
(20:08):
been hijacked.
I don't know how you don't knowthis by now, I really don't.
But you know people who kind ofreally don't pay that much
attention, they just kind ofskim the surface of of
information.
You know they're apparentlyoblivious or they just don't
know what to do about it.
You know, and I can understand,I can understand that too.
Like, what do you do your, yourparty that you've affiliated
yourself with maybe your entireadult life is not the party that
(20:31):
you knew.
So what are your options?
Well, you hate us, so you don'twant to be part of us, but,
however, we actually representsome of those old school values
that you think you know yourparty represented.
Just saying right.
Speaker 3 (20:42):
Yeah, so it's.
You know the president started,you know he started into his
speech and he started talkingabout, you know, essentially
recovering from the Bidenadministration.
I mean, I think that's thetheme, but you know you touched
on it earlier is that there wasnot a single thing that he could
say or did say that they werehappy about Right no tax on tips
(21:04):
, no tax on retirement, no taxon you know, any of that, which
is, you know, the Democrats havebeen huge on that Right.
So well, how can you notapplaud that?
They weren't huge on it becauseit was his idea.
But that's that.
That is the flip side theme.
They can't be happy aboutanything that would give
president Trump or theadministration any credit.
So they weren't happy about notax on tips.
(21:25):
They weren't happy about arecovering economy.
They weren't happy about, theyweren't happy about anything.
They weren't happy.
Like you again, the, the, theshamefulness of not even
acknowledging and let's just gothrough some of them.
So you had um of them.
So you had Lake, and Riley'sfamily was there, her mother and
her son.
You had the mother of the 12year old girl who was raped and
(21:45):
killed under the bridge, whichthe president named.
You know he signed an executiveorder right there.
Okay, a little bit of theater,but awesome, right?
Yes, named a wildlife refugeafter that young woman or that
young girl Again, couldn't evenapplaud for that.
You had the border patrol agentwho showed some amazing courage
(22:06):
, you know, protecting hispartner.
He was there, nothing there.
You had the young girl who gotspiked in the head with the
volleyball she was there,nothing there.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
Yeah, wait a minute.
Wait, you mean the women intheir pink jackets for women?
Exactly what.
I'm so confused.
Yeah, jerks.
Speaker 3 (22:24):
Yeah, and then you had the two young ladies who
were guests of the First Lady, Imean the 13-year-old DJ, my man
, dj, dj.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
We got a video of DJ.
I love this.
You want to watch it.
Let's show everybody this.
I love this.
Speaker 5 (22:37):
DJ was diagnosed with brain cancer.
The doctors gave him fivemonths at most to live.
That was more than six yearsago.
(22:57):
I love him and tonight, DJ,we're going to do you the
biggest honor of them all.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
I am asking our new Secret Service Director, Sean
Curran, to officially make cried.
I cried like a baby watchingthat.
I'm tearing up now because itwas so awesome, oh my goodness.
And here is the moment thatthat happened over on the left.
Now, this is just a still, ofcourse, of that.
Speaker 3 (23:49):
This one rolls her eyes.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
Yeah, and that's yeah .
Speaker 3 (23:52):
There was one female Democrat who stood up and
applauded.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
Well, I want to hug that woman.
Thank goodness one person hadthe decency.
Speaker 3 (24:01):
She was sitting closest to the aisle, which I
thought was pretty funny.
Yeah, but there was one.
There was the young man who youknow, president Trump told him
on national television lastnight hey, by the way, you're
going to win.
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
Oh, we have that moment too.
And there's something else.
I want you guys to watch thisone all the way up until the end
.
Speaker 5 (24:25):
And I want you guys to notice something at the end
that you might've missed.
I don't know if you missed it,but we're going to watch it,
just to inform you that yourapplication has been accepted.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
You will soon be joining the Corps of Cadets.
That, that was the moment rightthere.
Speaker 3 (24:45):
So high five.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
Right.
So let me tell you and I thinkwe can all agree on this that
that young man, dj, showed moreclass and and just absolute
coolness in that one moment thanthose Democrats did the entire
night, and if nothing elseshames them the way that they
should be shamed, that should doit.
(25:07):
That was what a great young manboth of them great, great young
men and I'm so excited to seewhat they're going to do in the
future.
Just wow, yeah.
Speaker 3 (25:18):
You know, and then obviously so you know it was
such a huge part of the nightwas their poor conduct.
You know there was two.
You know President Trump has,and he always does this and it's
part of his businessmanpersonality.
Everything that he does is thebest ever.
It's the best anybody's everseen.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
It's nobody's ever seen anything like it?
Nobody's ever seen.
Speaker 3 (25:39):
It Nobody's ever seen anything like it Never happen
again.
Right, which I get it.
You know, I think that that isa some.
Now I think he does it just topoke the Democrats in the eye,
but it is a speech pattern ofhis and it is what it is.
But you know, the Pocahontascrack against Elizabeth Warren.
I could have done without.
I could have done without,although, again, again, a little
(26:00):
bit antagonized, but I thoughtthe best one great thing that he
said.
And then, in a missedopportunity, the great thing
that he said was when he wastalking about the border.
You know, he said oh, theDemocrats kept saying we need
more legislation, we need morelegislation, more legislation.
Well, it turns out, the onlything you need is a new
president Right, that's yeah,mic drop moment.
That was huge.
(26:21):
Is a new president?
Right, that's yeah, mic dropmoment, that was huge.
Um, but what I think he didn'tdo and it would have been highly
antagonistic, but I think heshould have done it anyway is in
one of these moments that we'vebeen talking about, no matter
which one, pick one, lake andRiley, no, no matter what he
should have pointed and saidlook at that, they can't even
stand, for you know, tocelebrate DJ, or they can't
(26:43):
stand to honor the family orthey can't stand to honor that
Border Patrol agent.
He should have directed it atthem.
Yeah, you know, he did it.
Speaker 2 (26:51):
He did it in one moment.
There was one instance where hedid call it out and, you know,
not quite as directly as that,but he did did acknowledge that
they won't stand for anything.
No matter what I do, they won'tstand for it.
But I agree with you.
I think every time there wasone of these moments, he should
have called attention to thefact that they were not
(27:12):
applauding, because, again,think what you want, feel what
you want.
You're not applauding for Trump, you're applauding for these
people who are getting honored,and that is just a classy thing
to do.
It just is, whether you know,you've like again I said it
before whether you think it'stheatrics, whether you think
it's BS, whether you like it ornot, this is what you do as a
(27:33):
human, adult person.
This is what you do.
I really you know, and I'm soglad that we talked about it
last week too and that thisbecame even more under a
spotlight, essentially, of thiskind of behavior.
(27:58):
I really, really want to add newrules to this or just
re-emphasize the ones that arealready on the books probably a
combination of both things thatthere will be a certain amount
of decorum.
That's not just expected, it'sdemanded, and this is the way
it's going to be going forth.
And if you violate this in anyway, that's written, you're out,
(28:20):
you're automatically ejectedand I don't know, you know,
maybe not necessarilyautomatically censure, but but
certainly on the table for that,because it's unacceptable and
there can be.
You want to protest, to haveyour little quiet protest?
Fine, sit with your signs.
I don't like that either, Idon't think it's appropriate.
But if you're going to allowsomething, fine, sit with your
little angry little signs, holdthem up, you know, so you can
(28:41):
make a little spectacle ofyourself, have your own little
theater going on, but you keepyour mouth shut.
You stand when the presidentcomes in, you stand when the
president leaves.
You don't have to stand everytime he says something, you know
, but whatever decorum anddemanded decorum period.
Speaker 3 (28:59):
I don't think I'm wrong.
Do you think I'm wrong?
No, but I have one.
I think Al Green's going to getcensured.
They're already talking aboutit.
Mike Johnson spoke afterwardsand he said that we'll have to
handle this in the normal waythat they handle those things
Him as Speaker of the House,they have a process for that.
But there is discussion of himbeing censured.
Okay, fine, good, hold himaccountable.
Accountability is what you'retalking about.
But I think there's another wayto kind of diffuse it a little
(29:22):
bit.
And so it's a very stark room.
Right, you've got one sideversus the other side.
There's no hiding that.
Right, you have all of theJoint Chiefs.
The Service Chiefs are allsitting there and the Chief
Justices, the Supreme Court,scotus, is all sitting there.
They are bipartisan,non-emotional, apolitical in
their reaction.
(29:43):
They don't stand.
The only time that the servicechief stood was when they
announced that kid going to WestPoint.
But everything else isapolitical for them.
But here's my recommendation,because I think it diffuses
everything is, I think that youseat Congress not by party.
(30:03):
You see Congress by state.
Oh, ok, they all written andyou could do it one of two ways.
You could see them by state forthe Senate, and then you could
see them by state for the House,or you could just see them all
together.
You can see all of Texastogether.
You could see all of you knowCalifornia.
You could see whoever together,and then what you don't have is
that stark difference and,truthfully, the quiet protest
(30:26):
gets masked, because every timeone party stands up and the
other party refuses to stand andyou just don't see them.
They're just not there, andthen that kind of forces a
little bit more.
You know like it takes thesteam out of the sit down
protest crap.
Yes, yes, and I love that.
(30:46):
That takes away everything.
Speaker 2 (30:48):
So, yeah, I love that .
That's brilliant.
Speaker Johnson, hello, do that.
Speaker 3 (30:53):
Throw that out there, I just solved everything right
there.
Problem solved.
I tried.
So that would be an option.
I think it would change thedynamic in the room a lot, yeah,
but I also think that you know,like you said there's, we
expect decorum and I think youknow I was pretty brutal last
(31:15):
night all over social media Iwas posting stuff the whole time
and, truthfully, a single and Iknow, I know and I'm related to
, probably like a lot of us, alot of liberal, you know left
side of the aisle kind of folksnot I did not see a single
person defending the actions oftheir representation.
Now, that may be because theyrefuse to watch because it's
(31:38):
president Trump.
Sure, you know, they just chosenot to do that, but no one
defended what they were doing inany way, shape or form.
I was waiting for some sort ofbut, but, but, but Trump
response and didn't even getthat Right.
Speaker 2 (31:52):
I was kind of waiting for that too, just because of
his jabs, you know it was like,oh, they're going to call him on
presidential and blah, blah,blah.
Speaker 3 (32:02):
Yeah.
The other thing that the, thatnobody from the Democrats
thought through, was all thosesigns.
Have you?
You looked at social mediatoday because pictures of
Congress, of all of them,holding the signs, have all been
turned into memes.
So changing the words, peopleare yeah, nobody thought through
that.
On that side, they did notanticipate.
No.
I mean, and I've seen some onesthat are pretty rough today but
(32:25):
when you've got the whole thatside of the aisle holding signs
and everyone has now changed thewords, like you know, I took a
bribe, I work for Big Pharma,you know.
You know I'm a warmonger, likeall of those signs say all those
kinds of things, that's awesome.
The Internet did what theinternet does.
Speaker 2 (32:42):
It does what it does and it did what it did and I
love it.
I love when they do that.
Oh, that's so great and youknow to your point.
As far as like reactions fromthe public, from the American
people, there were a couple,couple different polls.
So, according to a CNN instantpoll, approximately 69% of
viewers, 69 percent of viewers,had at least a somewhat positive
(33:05):
reaction to Trump's speech,with 44 percent describing it as
very positive.
Those are high numbers, highnumbers.
And then CBS News had a polland there's found that 76
percent of the viewers approvedof Trump's speech while 23
percent disapproved.
Percent of the viewers approvedof Trump's speech while 23
percent disapproved.
(33:26):
76 percent approval is prettygood in this arena, probably in
most arenas, right?
Speaker 3 (33:29):
Oh, that's yeah.
Nobody's seen numbers like thatsince right after 9-11.
That just hasn't happened.
Side note on CNN though I sawthis yesterday.
You didn't know this.
I know you didn't know this.
I know you didn't.
Did you know that jake tapperof all people hosts a show on
cnn called american scandal?
No, I had no idea.
(33:50):
There are so many jokes there Ican't even write them all down.
Like tapper of all people, yeahyou weren't of all networks
talking about american scandalslike it's wow does?
Speaker 2 (34:02):
Does he cover his own at all about the fact that,
right, like I'm guessing, no,I'm sure there's no mention of
that book.
He just wrote about Biden'sdecline and basically everybody
knowing about it and covering up, including himself, right,
which he denied during the time.
But now he writes this bookthat basically says oh yeah, we
all knew it was a mess, thatthat was crazy, guys, how bad it
(34:24):
was.
And it's like dude, um, youwere part of covering that up.
Yeah, whatever, yeah, this is,this is how much I don't care.
Speaker 3 (34:33):
I saw that yesterday and I just I laughed out loud.
Speaker 2 (34:36):
Yeah, I made a skit about it too.
Of course I made a skit aboutit, but yeah, oh man, that's
pretty funny I they, I think,their actual favorite.
You know, I always think thattheir favorite thing is hating
America, hating Trump, hatingAmerica.
But I think their favoritething is being ironic all the
time, right.
Speaker 3 (34:56):
I think that their favorite thing is just being
miserable, that their favoritething is just being miserable,
did they not all just lookabsolutely miserable last night?
Miserable, I know, I know Ifyou're an elected American
politician and you cheer forAmerica, you can't do it Like it
would.
Speaker 2 (35:13):
It would kill you that much to cheer, I mean.
And there were, there are somany great things that he's he's
done, we did done.
I did this side by side, I gotto pull it up real quick, hang
on.
Speaker 3 (35:24):
Yeah right.
Speaker 2 (35:26):
I mean just saying, guys, and I was nice, I was nice
, I posted this on my socialmedia, which is very, very, very
true.
I said I had so many things Iwanted to caption this with, but
the Holy Spirit said, girl,don't do it.
So that's all I did.
(35:47):
So thank you to the Holy Spiritfor keeping me acting basically
right.
But you know, joking aside,joking aside, there are really
so many incredible things thathe talked about last night that
he did, and of course they are,you know, they look for they do
the truth or fact checkers andall that stuff.
And you know, whatever, I don'teven care about any of that.
(36:08):
But I want to kind of go.
I think this is from thebeginning, let's see.
So economic policies talkedabout.
He emphasizes administration'seffort to reduce regulations,
implement tax cuts and imposetariffs.
Everybody's freaking out overtariffs, right, but all aimed at
protecting American industry.
So he touched on that.
He touched on, of course, as wekind of talked a little bit.
(36:29):
He talked about immigration andborder security, reiterated the
importance of border securitymeasures.
You know all of that stuff.
I think he gave numbers to, orI.
He said no, actually I takethat back.
I don't think he said numbersbut talked about that this was
the lowest crossings in like thehistory of this issue, yeah,
(36:50):
you know.
Speaker 3 (36:51):
So it's like February was 8,300 and change.
Wow, compared to millions, right, you know yeah, hundreds of
thousands, tens of thousands onon, you know, any given month.
So, yeah, so there's that.
And then, even you know,leading up to you, want to talk
art of the deal like if hewanted and he should pat himself
on the back.
But the entire thing withZielinski leading up to this.
(37:14):
And then the day of uh,yesterday, all of a sudden
Zielinski comes groveling back.
You know, and I and I went upand down with a bunch of a
sudden Zelensky comes grovelingback and I went up and down with
a bunch of people online whodon't know and understand
diplomacy, who only saw the10-minute clip of the heated
tempers and the raised voices,and they are embarrassed and
(37:34):
they hate the president and thisis not how you do things, and
blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
And again, these people knownothing.
They don't know about the weeksand weeks of work for the
mineral deal that was leading upto the meeting.
They don't know, didn't knowthat Zelensky had talked to
Democrats and had been, you know, railroaded prior to.
They didn't know any of thatstuff.
They just passed judgment onthe 10 minutes and I and I have
(37:56):
friends at state department, asyou can imagine.
You know, I even told peoplethat I said listen, you don't
know the context of this.
I know people at StateDepartment, I have talked to
them, I know what happenedleading up to this and I
literally I got people told methat I was lying.
They told me to shut up.
They told me there was no waythat I knew things that they
(38:16):
didn't know.
Like it was ridiculous.
And then, of course, 36 hoursafter it happens, zielinski's
like hey, hey, uh hey I'm sorry,I yeah my bad
yeah, I need some help, you know, because outside of england and
france, if you haven't seen it,the rest of europe is following
his lead.
Italy said no, they shut downall like.
(38:39):
They were asked would they sendtroops?
Their president or primeminister, whatever she is, was
like not our troops.
And then, oh, by the way, cutoff all aid.
I think it was Romania, hungary, I think, same thing we're not
doing this.
So Europe has got their head onstraight for the most part, and
they have said we're not doingthis and they're following
President Trump's lead.
So, zelensky, he's in a hardspot, but what President Trump
(39:04):
was trying to do with all thatwas just get people to the table
, just start the negotiation.
That's what he's looking for.
And people again who don'tunderstand diplomacy.
They don't know what he wasdoing or why he was doing it.
All they heard was raisedvoices, and so it is what it is.
Speaker 2 (39:20):
Quarterbacks right armchair quarterbacks, zero
experience in diplomacy andnegotiations and world issues
and relations, are sitting there.
Well, you know what he shouldhave done?
Yeah, you know what I wouldhave done.
Yeah, shut up already.
You sound so dumb when you saythat, right there was.
Speaker 3 (39:41):
There was a lot of people who, like, sent me the
Webster's dictionary definitionof diplomacy and don't
understand that you know thecontext of any of it.
Speaker 2 (39:50):
So it was absurd.
Speaker 3 (39:53):
from the get go it was absurd and.
Speaker 2 (39:55):
I think it's cute and I said that very sarcastically
I think it's cute that theybelieve that those behind closed
doors conversations that wedon't get to see are all nice
and friendly and sweet and theyhave tea together and they say
nice things to each other.
Now, that's probably exactlywhat it looks like behind closed
doors, just add in some swears.
(40:16):
You know some table banging andsome FUs.
You know some table banging andsome FUs.
It's not going to be and I'venever seen it, but I'm not
stupid so I know it's not pretty.
Behind closed doors.
Zelensky screwed up by wantingthe press there.
He thought that that was goingto help him and it did.
I mean it did for the leftbecause they're, all you know, a
bunch of suckers.
Speaker 3 (40:37):
Yeah, he what he and, and trying to renegotiate in
front of the cameras yeah, goodluck with that, is really what
you know.
Turned things sideways becausethe intent, entire intent, for
that visit was for him to comeand sign the deal that the state
department had negotiated withthem prior to the visit for the
mineral rights, like that's whatit was for.
It was supposed to be veryceremonial a sit down, have a
(40:58):
good talk, sign the document,very all that, and then have
lunch, which, by the way, allthe staffers got to eat, because
, after he acted like a jackass,president trump lost his ass
out of the, out of the whitehouse and all the staffers got
to eat the lunch.
So I love it.
And then again, 36 hours later,hat in hand, zielinski says oh,
I, we need to make things rightand I, you know, we, we can
sign this deal, I'm ready tosign this deal, and you know so.
(41:20):
President Trump didn't flaunthow right he was during the
speech last night, which I thinkhe could have done.
Speaker 2 (41:28):
I'm sure it was very tempting to oh yeah, it had to
be so painful to not look overthere to his right and say I
told you so I wouldn't haveblamed him if he did, but I'm
glad he didn't.
I'm glad he didn't.
And you know, silence is golden, right?
Just you go ahead, run yourmouth, run your mouth, talk like
(41:48):
you know what you're saying.
And you know, just like everyother time that you have gone
Banshee wild and thinking that Iruined everything and I'm going
to, you know, bring us into a Idon't know third world war by
negotiating peace, cause thatmakes sense, right?
Okay, yeah, he's.
He doesn't have to say a wholeheck of a lot anymore because
(42:09):
the actions have proven him tobe right Every single time.
Every single time his actionshave been spot on.
So they can suck it, yeah.
Speaker 3 (42:21):
Yeah, and he listed out, you know, the Apple.
He listed the new Honda plantthat's going in.
He listed, you know, and all ofthat is a result from the
tariffs.
What people don't, what theyrefuse to understand about
tariffs, is they think that thatis somehow going to break any
relationship we have with anycountry, and mostly because
they're listening to Trudeau,who's an idiot anyway.
(42:43):
Do me a favor, folks, lookaround your house, walk around.
Find anything that you own thatsays made in Canada on it,
please, because you don't ownanything.
I can promise you the onlything you own that was probably
made in Canada was a US ownedautomobile.
Right, they do.
A ton of our automobiles areassembled in Canada, but that's
it.
That's all you got.
(43:03):
And so you know he's been rightabout that.
Honda is pulling a you know afactory out of Mexico and
putting it in, I think, inIndiana.
Apple $500 billion, billiondollars, billion dollars, right,
yes, so all of those things arehappening.
He did talk about the economyand you know the other thing
about the way that thesespeeches are structured and the
(43:25):
way that you've got the silentdissent, you know, and all of
that why I think they reallyneed to mix up the audience is
the speeches afterwards by theparty representative.
I don't know if you stayed upthat long.
I know we were already pushingyour bedtime.
Pushing the luck now, Now assoon as he was done, I was done,
I'm like, and then I so Iwatched representative Slotnick,
(43:45):
uh, from, um, I think she'sfrom Michigan, um, and so she is
a former CIA agent.
She's a junior Congresswoman,um, and they chose her to give
the rebuttal speech.
Um, and, and I'll give you theshort version of the speech he
hasn't fixed anything and thingsare getting worse.
And it's this is.
(44:07):
You know, this is all bad, butagain, there's no ownership.
Over the last four years,there's no reality checkup.
It's only been six weeks.
There's no like, there's noacknowledgement of the things
that have been accomplished.
You know, there's.
There's only doom and gloom andthreats.
Oh, by the way, she took a potshot at Elon Musk and his gang
(44:28):
of 20-somethings, 20-year-oldsgang of 20-year-olds, which okay
, I'm going to say this for the50th time, representative
Slotnick 20-year-olds can voteand they can put on a uniform
and they can die for theircountry.
If you don't trust them toaudit the United States
government, you're wrong.
You are wrong, right?
Oh, by the way, your entireparty thinks that they can make
(44:49):
decisions about abortion, abouttheir gender, about sex changes
and all kinds of other stuff,and oh, by the way you want kids
to vote as early as 16 becauseit benefits your party, so get
your messaging straight.
Stop with the 20-year-old crap,because it doesn't hold water.
Oh, by the way, every one ofthose kids and listen, she's a
CIA analyst.
So she's a smart lady.
(45:11):
There's no doubt about it, butevery one of those 20 year olds
is smarter than she is, everysingle one of them.
Speaker 2 (45:15):
Yeah, yep, absolutely .
And there was, that was ahundred percent Clay's mic drop
for the night because that wasso spot on, like I want to stand
up and applaud for you rightnow because that was so spot on,
that was so good, clay, and soso true, and you know.
And another thing that they youknow, another hallmark of their
behaviors and of course I'mtalking about these Democrat
(45:37):
leaders I hate using that wordand them in the same sentence
but another hallmark of theirbehavior is that they complain
and complain and bitch and moanabout everything, but they
everything, but they never offersolutions, zero solutions.
So, unless you can offer equalor better solutions that you
(45:58):
like, sit down and shut up.
It's that simple, right?
If you're just going tocomplain with, adding no value
to the conversation, I don'twant to hear it, not even
listening.
Speaker 3 (46:09):
Yeah, their, their solution is the status quo.
That's what it is.
Their solution is biggovernment.
Their solution is the statusquo.
The solution is nanny state.
Uh, it's, you know, free stuff.
Uh, people can't make decisionsfor themselves, because that's
what keeps them in power, that'swhat they want, and so their
solution is that.
And it's again.
Yeah, and it is opposite of themandate that the president was
(46:33):
given in the last election.
By winning and he hit it, hetalked about it won every facet
of the vote popular electoralcounties, you know, won the
House, the Senate, like it'sclean sweep.
Know one that you know theHouse, the Senate, like they
clean sweep.
Speaker 2 (46:49):
And the Democrats just don't get it.
They don't get it, and you knowthey keep trying to spin this,
as you know.
Well, is this what you votedfor?
I don't think this is what youknow.
This is exactly what we votedfor.
Exactly what we voted for,Because you know why.
Trump told us everything thathe planned on doing before he
came into office.
He has been telling us allalong, and the American people
(47:11):
collectively said yes, yes,that's what we want, and he's
delivering it.
So how?
Stomp your feet, wave yourlittle flags, wear your little
pink jackets, make your little,you know, theater.
Um, yeah, this is what wewanted and yeah, we're happy.
Speaker 3 (47:28):
He did also.
I just remembered one otherfunny from last night and that
was going down the numbers ofactive accounts in social
security yes, I talked aboutlast week we did.
And he got to the end and helooks at Kennedy and he goes hey
, bobby, looks like we got ahealthier country than we
thought we did.
Speaker 2 (47:45):
He's so funny.
He's so funny.
I love him.
I do, I love him.
I love him.
We've talked about this before,my evolution of feelings about
President Trump from his firstpresidency in between to now.
And it started with acceptance,not love.
We are at love.
Speaker 3 (48:09):
I love him.
I don't even care.
Who knows that people.
Let's hit on one more, and itdoesn't have anything to do with
last night.
Okay, we'll hit on one moreexample of poor decorum and
hypocrisy coming out of, andthat is democratic
representative velasquez, yeswho, in a speech, said Elon Musk
, what the hell are you evendoing here in America?
(48:31):
Go back to Africa.
What Could you imagine?
Could you imagine that was sostunning A Republican saying
that at all, yeah, the uproar,the outrage.
Speaker 2 (48:46):
I mean it would have been, oh my goodness, you can't,
you can't even, you can't evenmeasure, you can't even quantify
what would have happened ifthat were a Republican saying
that to or about a Democrat.
Like that's where we're at withtheir mentality, or I mean
that's where they've been at allalong.
But the difference now is, isnobody's going to be taking that
nonsense?
(49:06):
You know that's that is insane.
So she claims that her remarkswere based on a social media
post.
Oh no, she actually claimedthat she saw a video where he
said exactly so you know, liar,liar, pants on fire.
lady, you didn't see a video.
Speaker 3 (49:25):
You saw a meme and you fell for it.
The video doesn't exist.
Doesn't exist, snopes of all,people said didn't happen,
doesn't exist, the video's notout there, and she swore she saw
it and then made a claim inresponse to that.
Listen, I would love to look atAOC right in the face and tell
her to get her ass back behindthe bar.
Speaker 4 (49:45):
I really would.
Speaker 3 (49:46):
Right, yeah, listen, I would love to look at AOC
right in the face and tell herto get her ass back behind the
bar.
I really would, right, becausethat's about where she belongs
and about what she's capable of.
There's a lot of people thatwould love to tell Ilyan Omar go
back to Somalia, right, there'sa lot of people that would love
to say that.
But it's not our electedofficials, right?
Our elected officials don't saythings like that.
Right?
And we were listen folks.
We were on Dan Crenshaw lastweek for him acting like an
(50:06):
idiot too, right.
Speaker 2 (50:07):
Absolutely yeah, this is not one-sided here.
Speaker 3 (50:11):
No, this is about acting like a grownup, and again
, there's plenty of it nothappening at you know, from our
elected officials, and this isjust one more example, you know,
of people not you know,performing the way that we
expect them to to, or sayingwhat we expect them to in public
as a representative Listen,behind closed doors, I get it.
You even talked about it, right, the diplomatic meetings behind
(50:31):
closed doors.
I don't care about any of thatthey get loud and all that.
Speaker 2 (50:35):
Right.
Speaker 3 (50:35):
Okay, not in public, and not in front of a microphone
, for sure.
Speaker 2 (50:41):
No, just saw it before, a little while before we
came on.
Uh, you know another one whowho's like now just making it
her thing to be as trashy andgarbage as she possible.
Can that jasmine crockett?
Speaker 3 (50:53):
oh yeah, now she's the one they.
They thought she was going tothrow.
She was the one who was goingto throw eggs.
Of course she was.
Yeah, it was going to be yeahyeah, I, I'm done with her.
Speaker 1 (51:02):
What's up, what?
Speaker 2 (51:03):
did you do just more of the same dropping f-bombs,
you know, talking about Trump,talking about Elon Musk.
Of course, you know, it's justF-bomb after F-bomb.
And then there's this video ofher.
I'm guessing I don't know whereshe is, I don't know if she's
in her personal offices or inthe corridor, but her and her I
don't know associates orassistants maybe, but they're
(51:24):
doing that, kendrick Lamar dancedown the hall Like this is what
we're doing at work, like thisis what you're doing at work.
Really, on my dime, I don'tthink so.
So, yeah, I just I really wantto see some serious, you know
consequences to this kind ofbehavior because I'm done with
it.
I think, as Americans, we'redone with it.
We don't need this kind ofpopcorn theater, you know.
Speaker 3 (51:46):
You can hold people accountable and you can make get
your point across without beingvulgar, right, without you know
, dropping a level of decorum.
Nancy Mace today.
Representative Mace today had agreat one.
She had all the mayors thesanctuary city mayors were
testifying today, right.
So she asked a very simplequestion of if you have an
illegal alien, who, who has been, you know, accused or is being
(52:10):
held on, has committed a crime,a heinous crime, I think she
said.
She asked the mayors yes or noquestion, is it OK to release
them back into the population?
Eric Adams from New York wasfirst.
He started to answer.
She cut him off and said it's ayes or no question.
Make it very simple, right.
And he and he and he said no ina very in a longer winded way
(52:32):
than he should have.
I don't remember who the nextone was who basically said no
very quickly.
And then she got to the mayorof Chicago who said you know he
started out well, you know theindividual person, blah, blah,
and she said no, no, it's a yesor no question, yes or no.
And he kept going and he keptanswering in his long-winded,
very non-committal, and she saidyou know what?
That's why you have a sixpercent approval rating because
(52:53):
you suck at answering questions.
Next, and she moved to the nextperson.
Good, right, point made right,no vulgarity, firm right.
Gave him an opportunity toanswer.
That he didn't do, didn't callhim names, no, and oh, by the
way, fact, 6.6 approval ratingin the city of chicago, worst
ever 6.6.
(53:15):
That's bad yeah in a democratcity like the bluest of blue.
There hasn't been a republicanmayor in chicago in over 120
years.
Speaker 2 (53:24):
That's crazy they, can they.
This might be a stupid they canimpeach, can't they?
Oh?
Speaker 3 (53:30):
yeah, yeah so.
Speaker 2 (53:31):
I'm a little stunned that that process hasn't been
begun because that's as good aszero right, give it a minute.
Speaker 3 (53:38):
Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (53:39):
Come on guys, step it up, oh my goodness.
Speaker 3 (53:43):
In fact, you know my, my home state of Illinois,
you're starting to see a littlebit of a red turn.
We just had a DuPage Countywhich, for those of you not
familiar with the area, cookCounty is Chicago.
Dupage County is the biggestcounty, right outside the city.
The DuPage County sheriff justannounced he is running for
governor as a Republican, sowe'll see how, yeah, things are
(54:06):
changing, hopefully, in Illinois.
Speaker 2 (54:08):
So yeah, yeah, you know listen I mean.
I say on repeat that I'm so gladthat they're doing the things
that they're doing, that they'rebeing as awful as they're being
, and you know, and I alwaysgive the caveat that because
it's showing the American people, you know, what you don't want
any more of.
But yeah, obviously, in aperfect world everyone's going
(54:28):
to act right and do the rightthings and, and you know,
disagree and argue and debate ina mature, productive way.
We're not there.
So you know, I am again gladthat they keep showing who they
are, because this, this willkeep turning that tide red
everywhere at this rate.
You know, the more they dig in,the more they dig their claws
(54:50):
in on these belief systems andideologies and insanity and
anti-American rhetoric.
Then good, here we are, here wego.
Speaker 3 (55:01):
Bring it.
I know, by the way, you've gota president who is.
He was a lame duck walking inthe door.
He does not care, right, hedoesn't care.
All he's doing is settingthings up for you know, jd Vance
, and yes, we'll see whathappens.
Speaker 2 (55:16):
But yeah, who's been doing phenomenal, huge,
continually.
Continuing to be a huge JDVance fan and Marco Rubio is
bringing me lots of joy, man,lots of joy for Marco Rubio.
Speaker 3 (55:28):
He's amazing, he is.
Every time I hear him speakit's like there is not a single
misstep in anything he says.
Media on TV being interviewedoff the cuff like that guy is
phenomenal.
Speaker 2 (55:41):
I can't and I got to say as a Cuban and I got to say
as a.
Speaker 1 (55:45):
Cuban.
I'm loving it.
Lots of props there, yeah.
Speaker 2 (55:47):
Loving it so much.
So, yeah, oh, my goodness, Imean we did pretty good.
I mean I think we got prettymuch through everything that was
going on.
I'm glancing at my notes hereon the side.
We did pretty darn good.
I mean we covered as much asyou humanly can cover on that.
Thanks to Clay for keeping uson track with it, because you
know I'm going right off therails, bro.
Speaker 3 (56:04):
Yeah no folks.
I mean obviously last night washuge and, you know, significant
for the nation on both sides ofthe aisle, because I think you
got a good look at what realityis in DC right now, after only
six weeks of President Trumpbeing in office.
So, you know, happy that wecould break it down for
everybody and in a gooddiscussion.
