There's a really funny shot on Twitter that people should check out.

where there's a reporter who has a mask on, and he's kind of slumped over his computer and looking really dejected.

And then right next to him, these hockey players are just beaming, absolutely full of life, delighted to be there.

It's a hilarious contrast.

But the room just exploded with shouts and excitement.

And the president, obviously, he knows every play of that game because he watched it.

He understands it.

He cares about it.

He loves these guys genuinely, as we know from the video of

him interacting with them as they were in the locker room celebrating their win.

I heard that these guys were hanging out in a side room with pizza and beer, which I think is a fun way to help them enjoy the State of the Union without being too locked in while they're still celebrating.

And this is just a very fun part of this evening and I think also lends itself to the very patriotic element of this State of the Union.

You know, we're celebrating American excellence.

We're celebrating patriotism.

We're celebrating, for example, this service member who was part of the raid on Maduro.

I loved the story that the president told about him, how his wife dipped his dog tags in holy water before he left because she knew he was going on some dangerous mission.

And now he was here and honored in front of the whole world for his heroism in that mission.

So just so many examples like this of Americans being honored and the president celebrating how truly amazing our country is.

And it gives me chills just talking about it.

It's just we've been experiencing patriotism unlike anything we've seen in many years.
