Screaming, Yelling & Outrage as Dems Fall in Trump’s SOTU Trap

The host argues Trump's State of the Union address was a 'bangup job,' designed to highlight a clear ideological divide. He used a direct challenge, asking attendees to stand if they believed the government's duty is to protect U.S. citizens over 'illegal aliens,' which Democrats largely refused, exposing their perceived stance.

Rubin states, 'Trump asked everyone in the building to stand up if you believe that the first duty of the American government is to protect US citizens... not illegal aliens.' He notes Democrats 'scowled and they sat on their hands.'

Rubin details how 73 Democrats did not attend, while others, like Representatives Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib, heckled, wore provocative attire (e.g., 'F ICE' shirt), and walked out during moments honoring American heroes or victims of crime by 'illegal aliens.' The host characterizes this behavior as 'insanely childish,' 'obnoxious,' and 'terrible Americans' emblematic of the Democratic party's radicalization.

Rubin mentions '73 Democrats did not show up at all.' He describes Tlaib and Omar 'heckling Trump 80% of the time, just screaming random the entire time' and walking out when Trump honored a Venezuelan prisoner and victims.

Rubin criticizes CNN's Abby Phillip and former Obama advisor David Axelrod for dismissing Trump's emotional moments (honoring veterans, victims, the USA hockey team) as mere 'game show' theatrics or attempts to 'simulate empathy.' Rubin contends these moments were genuine and served to unify Americans, contrasting with what he perceives as Democratic negativity.

Rubin reacts to Abby Phillip implying Trump's awards were 'game show type moments' and Axelrod saying Trump 'skillfully' used the gallery to 'simulate empathy.' Rubin counters, 'that's the stuff that brings us together.'

Trump's call to ban insider trading by Congress members garnered bipartisan applause, but Rubin highlights the significant wealth accumulation of figures like Nancy Pelosi (estimated $400M-$586M, with a $465M gain in Congress and an 81% win rate on trades) and Elizabeth Warren (estimated $60M), implying potential corruption and hypocrisy given their support for the ban.

Rubin notes Trump's statement: 'Let's also ensure that members of Congress cannot corruptly profit from using insider information.' He then cites internet figures for Pelosi's wealth and trading success, and Warren's increased net worth.

The host asserts that Democrats are 'on the wrong side of every issue,' citing examples such as policies on the border, taxation, 'trans stuff' (criticizing 'chemical castration of children'), and foreign policy. He argues their actions, like working with big tech to 'silence the American people,' constitute fascism, contrasting with Trump's focus on American safety and security.

Rubin states, 'If there is an issue, whatever the issue is, they are on the wrong side of it. Quite literally everything.' He cites examples like 'transing children' and 'the government working with corporations against the people' as fascism.

A CNN poll indicated that 64% of viewers believed Trump's policies would move the U.S. in the right direction after the speech. Rubin interprets this as an 'extraordinary' number, suggesting Trump's message resonated widely and could prevent a 'bloodbath' for Republicans in the midterms.

Rubin references a CNN poll: '64% of people who watch the speech said that President Trump's policies will move the US in the right direction.'
