Trump's State of the Union speech is the best in my lifetime, and probably the best by any president in history. Most people are happy about it, and Democrats in Congress have no idea how to react. The 2020 Democratic primary race is already kicking off, and we have our first potential candidate.

00:00:37.720President Trump's speech to a joint session of Congress last night was the best from any president in my lifetime and probably the best ever.
00:00:46.360I don't just say that because I like the guy.
00:00:48.780I don't just say that because I'm a Republican.
00:07:52.640I'm way more popular than I was last time.
00:07:55.300And the Democrats, if they're being honest with themselves, can't even deny it.
00:08:00.560But the real key to this speech, the real key to how it all played out, was when Trump set a trap for Democrats.
00:08:09.780By telling them how they were going to behave for the rest of the night.
00:08:14.180This is my fifth such speech to Congress.
00:08:18.700And once again, I look at the Democrats in front of me and I realize there is absolutely nothing I can say to make them happy or to make them stand or smile or applaud.
00:08:31.520I could find a cure to the most devastating disease, a disease that would wipe out entire nations or announce the answers to the greatest economy in history or the stoppage of crime to the lowest levels ever recorded.
00:08:49.300And these people sitting right here will not clap, will not stand and certainly will not cheer for these astronomical achievements.
00:08:59.180Trump getting up there and saying that totally gutted all of the immature little tactics that the Democrats were planning to make noise, to hold up stupid signs.
00:09:14.220Because traditionally in State of the Union addresses, the opposition party is not all that enthusiastic about what the president is saying.
00:09:21.020But for certain things, they'll stand up.
00:09:24.040We're going to, we want to help people.
00:12:06.780And it's a way to just establish in the minds of Americans who don't pay close attention to, you know, what sorts of political achievements can reasonably be, can reasonably occur within the first six weeks of a presidential administration.
00:12:22.160He's saying, look, I can do immigration stuff, and I have.
00:12:29.040But certain things that are going to lag by months, maybe even a year, things like getting inflation under control, things like getting our supply chains under control, those things are still Biden's fault.
00:12:39.580But don't worry, even though I've only been president for five minutes, I am working on it.
00:12:43.160But then, of the whole speech, and we'll leave it at this, we'll move on from Trump's greatest State of the Union, really the greatest State of the Union-like speech ever, certainly in my lifetime, certainly since Bill Clinton made them very long affairs.
00:12:56.420There was one moment that stole the show.
00:18:44.080I hope that little 13 year old kid doesn't go kill himself after that.
00:18:48.500What kind of a demented psycho do you have to be for that to be your reaction?
00:18:53.180What kind of a demented psycho do you have to be to even think that?
00:18:57.420To even think that, much less say that privately to someone, much less say that on national television.
00:19:06.280It's MSNBC, so there are probably five people watching.
00:19:08.740It's like making an utterance in your own living room.
00:19:11.240But nevertheless, there are cameras and microphones in that studio.
00:19:15.200This is how contorted with hatred these people have become.
00:19:22.920This is how divorced from reality they have become because of their irrational contempt for the man that they consider to be the mango Mussolini.
00:19:33.080That when Donald Trump, a very, very popular president, who gave an even more popular speech.
00:20:01.460And the Democrats' performance in that room last night and the Democrats' performance on television after the speech, I don't think it won them over one single vote.
00:20:10.380I think, if anything, it sent more votes to President Trump and the Republicans and the MAGA movement.
00:20:16.360Because, as Trump said in the speech, he was leading the common sense revolution.
00:20:21.460Common sense, that's a phrase I've been saying throughout the campaign.
00:21:57.980And in the world of performance-focused supplements, Momentous stands alone.
00:22:01.500Their commitment to NSF certification means every batch undergoes rigorous testing for heavy metals, harmful additives, and label accuracy.
00:22:09.360It's why they've earned the trust of all 32 NFL teams and leading collegiate sports dietitians nationwide.
00:22:15.100While other brands chase trends and flood the market with endless options, Momentous takes a different approach.
00:22:21.760They rely on research and expert guidance to focus on what truly matters, mastering the fundamentals with unwavering consistency, then tailoring supplementation to your specific goals.
00:22:32.280Speaking of the fundamentals, protein and creatine form the cornerstones.
00:22:36.260They've got Creapure, the highest-grade creatine monohydrate available, an essential supplement for both men and women seeking peak physical cognitive performance.
00:23:35.840The main thing the Democrats care about is slaughtering kids, castrating little kids, and importing illegal aliens with face tattoos into our country.
00:23:42.740Those are the main, at least judging by their advocacy during the campaign.
00:23:46.320But Alyssa Slotkin probably thinks Democrats should focus on all the other stuff.
00:23:50.140But then she lost me at Michigan literally invented the middle class.
00:23:55.620I'm pretty sure the middle class was literally invented in like late 14th century Italy.
00:24:03.140I don't think, I think it was a development of the high middle ages and early modern era in continental Europe, not a development of Michigan, you know, in the 1950s or something.
00:24:19.440So her history is already a little bit off.
00:24:22.060I'm starting to question her judgment.
00:24:24.180And then she makes a claim about illegal immigration because they can't help themselves because the Democrats just love mass migration because they think, all right, we can't convince actual Americans to vote for us.
00:24:33.340So let's just bring in foreigners who statistically are at least more likely to vote for Democrats.
00:24:39.180And then we'll give their kids birthright citizenship.
00:24:42.020We'll try to give them amnesty and maybe we can just gain power politically by cheating.
00:25:00.100Whatever you want to think about amnesty or immigration reform or even border security, just her logic doesn't make any sense.
00:25:09.900She's saying that the open border in contravention of American federal law, the open border is a symptom of the disease of having lots of illegal aliens in the country that have not received amnesty and are living in quasi-legal circumstances.
00:25:32.800The disease is that we have the open border.
00:25:35.320That is to say, the root cause of the immigration debates in the country is the open border across which the illegal aliens came.
00:25:43.040The symptom of that disease is that we have lots of millions, 11 to 16 million or maybe more people living in this country, many of whom are committing crimes.
00:25:54.140People who are living in this country are statistically much more likely than the native population to be using welfare programs and to be draining our public resources that we don't know what to do with because they're living in the shadows and in quasi-legal circumstances.
00:26:06.400It's not just that this woman is wrong about illegal immigration.
00:26:45.660Bobby Jindal gave it and everyone attacked him and said he did a bad job.
00:26:48.840I remember Bobby Jindal, he was the governor of Louisiana, and then Marco Rubio, everyone made fun of him because he drank out of a water bottle during the response.
00:27:05.300She's a perfectly attractive Democrat politician relative to the rest of her party.
00:27:11.820But her party is just so far gone, and she does have to defend things like mass migration, and she does have to defend things like LGBTQ ideology, which she alluded to last night that she tried to soft pedal it.
00:27:22.800And she just has to defend things that most people rejected, most voters rejected in November.
00:27:28.660So, looking ahead to potential presidential candidates, we have our first name that's really being floated for the 2028 race.
00:27:38.020The next presidential cycle begins almost immediately after the last one ends.
00:28:23.580You know, I don't even feel like I need to get on my knees and beg for this guy to be a presidential candidate or to be the presidential nominee in 2028.
00:28:30.080Because the Democrats are already indicating that they have learned nothing from the election.
00:28:36.600And they're going to keep putting their least attractive candidates into positions of power.
00:28:40.940The clearest example would be electing David Hogg, one of the least likable Democrats, even among Democrats in the country.
00:28:49.140The kid who he created a media career for himself by going on television after his school had a shooting.
00:28:55.180And then he got into Harvard that way, even though academically it was a little suspect that he got in.
00:29:00.820And he's just like really annoying, and he wants to take away people's guns.
00:29:03.820And he doesn't seem to know very much about the Constitution and our legal tradition.
00:29:07.940And they made that guy the vice chairman of the party.
00:29:11.280So they're clearly, they are clearly specifically interested in elevating liberal white guys that most people don't like.
00:29:21.360And so Tim Walsh fills that spot perfectly.
00:29:25.140Went down in flames as one of the worst vice presidential candidates in modern memory.
00:29:30.420And so if he's the nominee, please, thank you, please.
00:29:36.260Christmas came four years early, I guess.
00:29:37.940Now we're getting some breaking news, according to CNN, that the Supreme Court has rejected President Trump's request to keep billions of dollars in foreign aid frozen.
00:29:50.540Foreign aid, remember, doesn't just mean, doesn't even primarily mean sending javelins to the Ukrainians.
00:29:56.700Foreign aid doesn't just mean or even primarily mean helping with diseases in Africa.
00:30:01.360Foreign aid means, to use one notable example, sending a lot of money to the wife of some British politician to go teach Afghan peasants about Marcel Duchamp and how urinals actually constitute really beautiful modern art.
00:30:20.320Now, there's a lot of graft and weird stuff in the foreign aid promoting things like transgender ballet performances in Guatemala or Papua New Guinea or whatever.
00:30:38.960Supreme Court now rejecting Trump's, reportedly, according to CNN, rejecting President Trump's plea to stop that.
00:30:46.260But there's going to be a fight here, okay?
00:30:47.640And it's actually part of our constitutional system that there is a fight between the executive branch and the judiciary and the legislature sometimes.
00:30:55.400That's a feature, not a bug of our system.
00:30:58.600What's weird about this kind of moment, though, is this is not a case of President Trump trying to exercise control over the legislature.
00:31:09.960And the court coming in and saying, oh, actually, the executive has no right to exercise this kind of authority over the legislature, a co-equal branch of government.
00:31:19.320This isn't an example of President Trump trying to exercise authority over the court.
00:31:24.740And the court stepping in and saying, no, we're not going to do that.
00:31:26.900But what's so weird about all of these executive agencies and all this money that is sent over to the executive branch to be sent overseas, really just to promote leftism abroad and at home, because some of that money gets funneled back into the United States.
00:31:43.860To use just one example, USAID sends money to the Tides Center.
00:31:48.480The Tides Center, a left-wing organization, gives money to BLM.
00:31:52.120BLM burns down your city and pressures the corporations in your country and the politicians in your communities to give them even more power and give in to even more of their demands.
00:32:06.700And then the cycle continues, rinse and repeat.
00:32:11.580And so what's so strange about this situation is President Trump, the leader of the executive branch, is being told he can't even control the executive branch.
00:32:22.120This isn't one branch of government trying to take power from another.
00:32:25.880It's the duly elected leader of a branch of government trying to control that branch of government.
00:32:31.920And so that's what distinguishes this governmental fight.
00:32:37.600And how Trump reacts to the court's decision remains to be seen because this news is just breaking right now.
00:32:43.820In the meantime, though, you're going to hear a lot of talk about true conservative principles.
00:32:48.980You can hear a lot of talk about, well, you know, President Trump, he's a threat to our order.
00:32:53.400And we stand by our principles from a bunch of squishes who support Democrats.
00:32:56.520Well, I've got, I have now the apotheosis of the so-called principled conservatives who won't support the Republican leader of the party who has been the leader of the party for the past, you know, three presidential cycles.
00:33:12.080And who's won non-consecutive terms and who won the popular vote for a Republican the first time in 20 years.

00:33:55.880My favorite comment yesterday is from Ben BJU4558, who says, C.S. Lewis was walking with a friend when a beggar asked for money.
00:34:05.000Lewis gave him the money, and his friend said, you know he's just going to go buy booze with that.
00:34:08.980Lewis replied, well, that's what I was going to do with it.
00:34:10.980That's right, I've never heard that story.
00:36:32.120Bill Kristol, former chief of staff for the Republican vice president, Dan Quayle.
00:36:36.640Bill Kristol, the former head honcho over at the Weekly Standard, which was formerly, until it went out of business, it was a premier conservative publication.
00:36:46.460He was on Fox News as the conservative talking head.
00:36:50.800He had a real prominent position as a conservative thought leader.
00:36:56.920And Bill Kristol tweeted this yesterday.
00:37:04.260You don't have to understand everything about the transgender experience to know that Trump's acts of humiliation and dehumanization are unjust and dangerous.
00:37:13.460Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you your principled conservatives embracing transgenderism, an ideology that presents a false view of human nature that does not help anyone, that harms everyone that it touches, that tramples on the legitimate rights of women, that has led to rapes of women and girls in bathrooms, that has led to women's skulls being cracked in because of transgenderism in sports,
00:37:42.940that has led to women losing their medals and scholarships because transgender identifying men compete against them and beat them.
00:37:53.180Your principled conservatives are now embracing transgenderism.
00:37:56.880This is proof positive of the accusation against some Republicans that Republicans are just liberals five to ten years too late.
00:38:06.220They're conserving the liberalism of five years ago.
00:41:59.260Does the bill say that they are going to keep their rainwater so that they don't shove it all into the Pacific Ocean and they have water to fight the fires when they come?
