Senator Ted Cruz

So, look, I thought it was a terrific speech. As I said, it was optimistic. It was positive. It was focused on results, the results that the president has been producing and Republicans have been producing in just over 40 days. I mean, it really is incredible.

It was also a funny speech, like that whole litany going through the people on Social Security over 120 and over 200 years and over 300 years old. Every line of it was funny. He had a whole litany. He went through Doge and the wasteful spending. That was just hysterical. And by the way, we're cracking up laughing all the Republicans.

No Democrat laughed like even on the funny lines as he goes through. They support every bit of waste possible. And just just across the board now in terms of the length. So this was the longest State of the Union in history. And I'll tell you, so I was sitting with Tommy Tuberville from Alabama. I was sitting with Josh Hawley from Missouri. And I was sitting with Dave McCormick from Pennsylvania.

No, no, no. You just kind of – we all – all the senators gather on the Senate floor, and then we walk from the Senate floor over to the House floor across the Capitol, and we walk in together, and the House saves the front seats for the Senate. And so they actually give the best seats to the Senate, which is nice of the House to do.

And so there are a whole bunch of seats, I presume 100 seats, that are kept in the front, and they have little placards on the seats that say, "'Reserved for a Senator.'" But but other than leadership like John Thune and the elected leadership, they have seats that are reserved specifically for them. But for everyone else, it's just senator and you can sit wherever you want.

And so just as you walk in, you take the open seat. So it's a little bit happenstance. But as as we were we were preparing, we actually had a friendly wager on how long the speech was going to go. So I bet that it was going to go 93 minutes, so an hour and 33 minutes. Josh Hawley, who was sitting next to me, bet it was going to go an hour and 37 minutes.

Little Price is Right. Tommy Tuberville and Dave McCormick both bet an hour and 40 minutes. So we were all in the same neighborhood, and actually the one who won was Holly. So it was, in fact, an hour and 38 minutes. So I was five minutes off, but Josh was only one minute off. And if he'd got another minute, McCormick and Tuberville would have won. So it was interesting.

Those were the four of our weeks.
