Senator Ted Cruz

There's never been a president issue as many executive orders do as much as Donald Trump is. And so I expect the speech to be, number one, I expect a lot of focus on the border. So on the border, I think the president is going to say we had chaos. We had open borders. We had 12 million illegal immigrants. We had the worst illegal immigration in the history of our country.

We had an invasion at our southern border. The American people said enough is enough is enough. I expect the president to point to in the gallery. victims of illegal immigration. I expect to see the families of people who were murdered by illegal immigrants, whether Lakin Riley or Jocelyn Nungary or Rachel Moran. I expect to see the families to highlight This was a tragedy. It was wrong.

And Americans were suffering every damn day, as I put it at the RNC convention this year. And we've seen in just 40 days the number of illegal crossings plummet over 90 percent. I fully expect President Trump to say, you elected me to fix this problem, and we are fixing the problem.

If you're a murderer, if you're a rapist, if you're a child molester, if you're a Venezuelan gang member, get the hell out, because if you don't, we're going to find you, we're going to arrest you, we're going to deport you. We will secure the border, and that's a promise made and a promise kept. I think that's going to be a major, major theme.

Look, I think it's important. I don't think it is, you know, game changing either way. I think the president will do a good job. I got to say, State of the Unions are always interesting. And we'll talk about on Wednesday's pod, we'll talk about how it was. And so you and I will record this after the State of the Union.

That's going to be a brutal one, by the way, because State of the Union goes on forever. And then I typically do various media. I don't know if I'm doing Hannity. I often do Hannity after State of the Unions. But I'll do some media, and then you and I will record the pod at midnight or 1 in the morning. But we will record it, and I will give you my real-time assessments of how it went.

But look, I think the president is going to do a terrific job with it. And I don't know that it matters. I don't know that it will change anything fundamentally. Other than I think a lot of people, you will have tens of millions of people watching and you will have even more globally watching. And I think the basic message, the American people voted. They elected us.
