Welcome, everybody, to the Wednesday edition of the Clay and Buck Show. My friends, it was... The best State of the Union speech I've ever seen. I'm just going to come right out and say it. A little bit of a mea culpa, actually, because I'm a little salty about State of the Unions. Most of them are boring because they go too long. I watched every minute of this one, as I tend to always do, because this is our job, but it was not boring. It was soaring. It was majestic. It was pageantry.
What makes President Trump's State of the Union address stand out?
It was... fantastic honestly i feel like a movie reviewer i laughed i cried i felt my heart sore it was fantastic i mean it was the best uh i could not say enough good things about trump's state of the union he was absolutely dialed in locked in en fuego all of the above now we will dive into some of the policy of course uh as as well as the very well deserved victory lap that would mean that was the Bulk of the opening, certainly, of the speech and the Democrat responses. Oh, my gosh. This Democrat Party is nuts. In fact, I think one of the most powerful moments, Clay, of the entire. Now, look, before I get into the Democrats, actually, I want to focus on the positive here. Because many of you are probably familiar with Internet terminology.
And, for example, the red pill, which comes from The Matrix, which I've been saying for a long time. Actually, I used to say this on my show, Clay, when I was doing a Saturday show for like five people on the Internet. I would say, guys, you know, we got to take the red pill here. And it became very popular because of the movie The Matrix. And it means to see things as they truly are. But now there are different pills with corresponding colors. And there are people on the right. There are people that will say you're taking a white pill means you're seeing things in a very sort of benevolent light. Red pill is you're seeing things as they are. Blue pill is you're part of the normies, or you still have the world sort of shrouded and presented to you without seeing with clarity, which is from The Matrix.
And then the black pill is I'm just, everything is bad, we're never going to win, everything is terrible. There's some black pilling that happens sometimes on the right, where people just want to get down. And I saw a little of this in the commentary of But what about this? And Trump didn't do that. Clay, I just want to set this marker because I don't know. I don't say that every State of the Union address is great. In fact, most of them, I think, are a waste of time. Most of them I do because it's my job. Not only was this the best State of the Union speech, that was a marker, a high point, I think, for looking back at what has been, in its totality... an unbelievable first year of Trump's second term.
And I'm somebody who was there in the trenches with the fighting back against the Russia collusion stuff, which was totally messing Trump up in the first term and sandbagging and undermining everything he was doing and dealing with the bad picks that he had in that first administration. I'm not a, oh, rose-colored glasses guy, everything is awesome. Clay, before we get into anything else, I think it's worth taking this moment of this administration has delivered enormously on securing the border, on bringing down the crime rate nationally, on a booming economy. We can go through this piece by piece. The data speaks to it. Everyone needs to take a moment, enjoy the win, enjoy the victory, because unfortunately, this too shall pass.
He will not be president forever. He might not even have the House for more than another year, and the Democrats will get into this, Clay. They're insane. They are a wacko party.
Well, I mean, I think that to me is everything comes down to a couple of moments, even more so in a social media age. Most people did not watch a two hour speech and you loved it. I got to be honest with you. It would have been better if it were an hour 15 instead of nearly two hours. So I was watching. I was also doing what a lot of other people are doing, probably.
