What highlights were shared from Trump's State of the Union address?
Well, folks, last night was an incredible night in the United States Capitol. President Trump gave an astonishing, just terrific speech at the joint session of Congress, the quasi state of the union address. We're going to break it all down. I was in the room for it, which was really inexperienced. First, if you're not a Daily Wire Plus member, now would be the time to join the fight.

A couple of days before President Trump's quasi state of the union address, we were invited by Speaker of the House Mike Johnson to join him in the speaker's box at this address to a joint session of Congress. By we, I mean me and Matt Walsh. And it was truly a terrific experience. In our row was our friend Riley Gaines, who, of course, has taken such a lead on the trans in sports issue. Tom Homan, the border czar, was also just a few seats down. We had the opportunity to sit with Tom Homan a little bit beforehand for the backstage live episode.
You should take a listen to that and hear what Tom has to say about the status of the American southern border. The enthusiasm was tremendous. Before the actual address to the joint session of Congress, there's sort of a big meet and greet inside the speaker's office and in the hallways surrounding. A lot of cabinet secretaries stopped by, so I got a chance to say hello to many of the cabinet secretaries we've had on the show, many of whom you know and I know. And it's great. I mean, this administration is just filled with terrific people. Everybody from the defense secretary, Pete Hegseth, to the treasury secretary, Scott Besson, to the commerce secretary, Howard Blutnick was there. And really, it's an amazing team. It's an amazing team that President Trump has put together. Being in the chambers of the Congress for the speech was definitely an interesting experience.
And I say interesting because the contrast could not be starker between the enthusiasm on the Republican side of the aisle, the excitement, the feeling that America is on the upsurge on the Republican side of the aisle, and the absolute murderous depression in which Democrats have now sunk themselves. And you could feel it. It was not even as though there was an animated sort of point of resistance for Democrats. As they filed into the chamber, they looked like a bunch of depressed college students who had just finished debating philosophy and smoking pot in their dorm rooms. That's what it felt like. It was an amazing thing. And it was just dead on one side of the aisle, not just because they've lost the election and now they no longer control Congress or the Senate or the White House, but also because they cannot find the thing to attack President Trump over. And so what they decided to bring were campus tactics. It was like a Columbia University tentafada, but on the floor of Congress.
You had a bunch of members of the squad who showed up wearing pink, supposedly to protest the idea that Trump hates women or something. Well, by the way, they refused, as we'll see, to applaud for a woman who was brutally injured by a man spiking a volleyball at her. And... The Democrats refused to applaud, but they were wearing pink for women. Some of them had on kind of hideous jackets that had Black Lives Matter regalia upon them. You had a bunch of Democrats who showed up with little placards and signs, which was sort of a leftover from a Rashida Tlaib thing that she did. The congresswoman from Michigan, the pro-terror congresswoman from Michigan, who herself showed up a couple of years ago at a speech or a year ago to speech, holding one of those little placards. It was incredibly memeable. It looked as though she was their Brazilian steakhouse waiting for them to bring the next round of flat iron steak.
