Trump’s Congress speech met with ‘scowl’ and ‘outrage’ from Democrats

The other interesting thing you talked is about, you know, the Speaker of the House and the Vice President got a workout standing up, sitting down, standing up, sitting down. It was amazing how the Democrats were unmoved throughout it. The only thing that moved was their facial expression from scowl to outrage back to scowl again. And you showed that clip where Trump said he's going to end the mutilation of children in the name of gender ideology because he wants every American child to know you're exactly the way God intended you to be, you're perfect. And the Democrats could not even manage an applause for that. One side of the House all stood and applauded. The other side, no, no, they are so committed to their... Trans and kids. Transgender as it relates to kids, they couldn't even applaud that statement, which I think every single parent would say, thank God we've got someone in the White House who's speaking some truth like that. Compare and contrast, though, with the Democrats. I mean, while Trump is a brilliant communicator and proved that in a one-hour and 40-minute speech today, the Democrats, man, they are terrible at communication, so bad, they can't even come up with their own lines. They've released a video, first one or two Democrats, but then it became clear it's not just one or two, we've got more than 20 Democrats all posting videos, all not just hitting the same talking points, they're all saying exactly the same words. Have a look at this. When I win, I will immediately bring prices down starting on day one. That ain't true, that's what you just heard. Since day one of Donald Trump's presidency, prices are not down, they're up. Inflation is getting worse, not better. The prices of gross gas, house, eggs, of essentials, it's not getting better. And they're all saying exactly the same thing. Now, because you couldn't hear it, I'll summarise it for you. They were saying inflation is high because Trump's been in office 43 days. The price of eggs should have come down by now. They actually had to hide to talk about crime rates. Crime rates are high. I wonder why. And then they complained about doge. You know, it's terrible that the government is getting rid of waste. And Elon Musk was fascinated by this, and he put out the challenge on Twitter saying we're now up to 22, it's 23 since he posted this tweet, but 22 Democrat senators all doing the same cringe video simultaneously. I will buy a cyber truck for anyone who can provide proof of who wrote this particular piece of propaganda. First person to post proof in the replies to this post gets the truck. Not a bad incentive to do a bit of digging. But, I mean, you couldn't on the same day have a greater contrast between why Trump is so successful and why everybody hates the Democrats. Trump is a great communicator, speaks from the heart. He's telling his story. The Democrats are just parrots repeating lines that someone else, anonymously in the shadows, has written for them. Zero authenticity. They clearly don't know how to respond to Trump. But how is that any different to Labour caucus? I mean, they get together, they decide their talking points, and then like Lemmings, that's all any of them say in perpetuity regarding that topic, and the next topic, and the next topic. When I first came to politics and learned the major differences between the two major parties, there's not that many, sadly, and they're dwindling. But the idea of Labour caucus, which is, this is essentially what they do, it's like word for word, this is what we say on this topic, on that topic. As opposed to the Libs that often get bashed in the media because, oh, you know, they're so divided. Yeah, because they allow independent thought. They allow the people, members of the same party, to have vastly different opinions on the same issues. So here you've got the Dems, and this was obviously intended to be a stunt. It wasn't an accident that they were word for word, using the same clip of Trump, word for word, responding to it. And I tell you what, someone did take Elon Musk up on his offer. I don't know what his name is, because his ex-account is anonymous, but he found out who wrote it. It's a guy, a Democrat senator, Cory Booker, and Cory Booker, having been then exposed, tweeted, Clearly, you are triggered by the truth. He's speaking back to Elon Musk. It was me. Keep your truck. Well, Senator Booker, I don't think you read Musk's tweet properly. He offered the truck to the person who uncovered you, not to you for coming forward once you were busted and saying, yeah, it was me who wrote that ridiculous piece for everyone to parrot. And the thing is, right, talking points, as you say, Liz, are not uncommon in politics. There's a sheet that is sent out every morning to federal politicians from their respective parties that tells them, these are the things that we want to hit on today. If you're asked a question about this in an interview, here's a line to use, et cetera, et cetera. That's just how, if you're looking at how the sausage is made, that is how the sausage is made. But the real problem here, and the awful political strategy that was deployed in this circumstance, is that you should be able to say to any politician, OK, you're a member of our party, these are the points we want to hit. And they should be able to take those points away and then create a video or a speech or whatever it might be from their own head about that. Like, they should have independent thoughts, along party lines generally, about an issue. So if you said as a strategist to all of the senators, we want you to do a video on X, Y, Z, they should just be able to go and do it. But clearly not. They actually have to all be given the exact script because there is not a skerrick of independent thought. And that is why people like Trump are so successful, because they're not running by a script. They can give a stump speech. They actually have conviction, they have real thought, they have real feelings about politics. You ask them a question, they can give you an answer. That's why Trump has answered more than 1,000 questions from journalists since he became president, compared to about 140 in the same period by Joe Biden after he became president. He can actually talk to people. What you saw there was the absolute example of what is wrong with the political elite, and that is that they cannot talk to people because they can't form an independent thought.
