Full Episode
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.
