| 0:00.0 | Well, ladies and gentlemen, since you probably don't have three to three and a half hours to watch the complete State of the Union plus the Abigail Spanberger rebuttal, we decided to give you a quick recap to go through all of the various highlights that you might have missed, plus some of the analysis, not only from myself, but from the Oracle of Virginia, Christian Heinz. That's right. |
| 0:21.7 | We're going to give you the key points of what happened in the state of the union. Plus, |
| 0:25.0 | we're going to rebuttal the rebuttal because I think that was probably the most frustrating |
| 0:29.5 | part of the evening for me, Christian. Was it for you as well? Was Abigail Spanberger talking |
| 0:34.8 | about affordability and safety as, I don't know, just nail scratching |
| 0:41.1 | across the chalkboard for you as it was for me. |
| 0:44.7 | Actually, the most frustrating part of the night for me was seeing all the times that Democrats |
| 0:49.6 | just refuse to stand up and clap for basic things like stand up if you support Americans. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Why are you giving away all the good stuff right at the beginning? My gosh, Christian. We got it. We got to entice them. Hook them. We get them in. All right. Well, before Christian gives away the entire thing in the first minute, let's go, let's go straight to some of the highlights. This is a page from the New York Post. They did a great job of getting some of the greatest highlights of the evening. And look, it's Donald Trump giving the state of the union. So it ain't the typical state of the union. We're all kind of used to that. And there's got to be a little bit of trolling, right? |
| 1:28.0 | If there's not a little bit of trolling, |
| 1:29.2 | are we really getting an authentic Donald Trump state of the union? |
| 1:32.8 | I think not. |
| 1:33.7 | So let's go ahead and see this. |
| 1:35.4 | Starting off with number four, you should be ashamed. |
| 1:43.7 | Isn't that ashamed? |
| 1:45.0 | You should be ashamed of yourself, not standing up. |
| 1:48.0 | You should be ashamed of yourself. |
| 1:51.0 | That is why I'm also asking you to end deadly sanctuary cities that protect the criminals |
| 1:58.0 | and enact serious penalties for public officials who block the removal of criminal aliens. |
| 2:04.8 | In many cases, drug lords, murderers all over our country, they're blocking the removal of these people out of our country. |
| 2:13.8 | And you should be ashamed of yourself. |
| 2:16.6 | That was epic. O'Hanhan omar the center they're screaming |
| 2:19.8 | like a little petulant brat and um and the bottom line is is again show me the lie show me the lie |
