State of the Union 2026! The evening that put it all on the line

I'm going to give you my literally the view that I'm looking at right now, which is the Atlantic Ocean in Florida.

I have been down here back and forth visiting family, taking a break, recuperating from all the trauma and difficulties

over the last few years, and we were so blessed to have this opportunity to be here and see family, relax, and really live in the space of where we are as a family.

I've been traveling back and forth to DC, home. It's been wonderful. My siblings were visiting me, and I have two sisters and a brother,

and we were all in a tiny one bedroom apartment for the last four or five days, and my husband went north to go home and do some things he needed to do, so I was with my siblings for a few days.

It was so enjoyable. I'm the youngest of the four, and there's a lot about that time together that made me reflect on how blessed I am, but also how family dynamics can be very challenging.

I heard it a lot, and until you're older and you look around and you see that your dynamic is actually very solid, and my husband's as well, very solid family dynamic, you just thank the Lord for that support system, and friendship and laughter, and healing, and how much a part of your, not just your DNA, but your psyche, these people have woven into your life story.

And friends fill in those gaps and distant relatives and this map of your life, and I've talked about chapters of life, your life that are close forever, and never come back, and that's part of, I think, the life pattern, if you don't, if you need to stay in that chapter, you stay in that chapter, there's something else you need to learn, there's someone needs to come into that chapter, and then it gets closed, and then you move on to the next one.

When I look at my time on soap operas, and I think that's a different person, it's, and it's okay, it just life evolves, and I thought about what I wanted to talk about today, and again, watching the State of the Union last night with my sisters, and knowing what we've been through with President Trump and how he has saved my family, it's an undeniable fact.

As it's sinking in, and I'm seeing the President speak, and I am overwhelmed with gratitude, humility, it's still not settling in in my heart yet, and I think when we meet President Trump, and we're able to shake his hand, and my children are able to shake his hand, and thank him for what he did for our family, I think that's the one of the parts of the chapter that needs to be finished in that story.

It does evolve into other things, and other relationships, and I'm really enjoying those new friendships, and new challenges that I seem to have had fallen in my lap now, and maybe that's the next chapter, I don't know, I think sometimes you look back, and you don't understand that that was a chapter that is completely closed, and it served its purpose.

And I was listening to someone the other day about how in the reincarnation theory, I believe, that you come back to learn something new, and until you understand that concept, you're still going to keep coming back to this earthly realm, and I get that, I see that side of it, I see that there's until you learn the lesson until you put the period on it, and you get it, it's going to keep happening to you, whether it's on this planet,

or wherever, I mean, whatever, we will all know this at some point, and I talk about this because it's, when my siblings left, my husband's still not here, I'm here by myself for a moment, and I wanted to do some laundry, and I went to the laundry room, and there's many laundry, you know, washers and dryers, and people doing their laundry, and there was a woman, a young woman, a younger woman, then, you know, this is kind of an older community, and she said, well, I'm here.

And she said, well, I'm here with my mother, and my mother, my mother's boyfriend just passed away, and she's talking to another woman, she's, oh, you know, how old your mother, she's eighties, and she's had many boyfriends since her father had passed.

She had one boyfriend, that man died in 10 years, and then the next boyfriend died in 10 years, and then she had another boyfriend, and this one just died.

So every 10 years, she seems to get a new boyfriend, and she continues to live and look for a new boyfriend, and it was funny because I'm laughing because it's just, I could see this woman already.

I can visualize what she looks like in my mind, I'm making, as I'm loading in my laundry, and my, my own business, I don't really say anything to anybody, I'm just doing my laundry.

And then this woman says, she was screaming at the television last night, screaming at the television at the top of her lungs, and, oh boy,

this was the state of the union, this 80-something, 90-something, who knows how old she really is, is yelling at the television because of Trump.

And then I have a choice, and I don't, you know, sometimes when you're faced with these choices in that moment, you're saying, okay, is it my supposed to say something here?

Should I just mind my own business? You know, what do I say? Do I want to say something? Do I not want to say something? Do I, I'm doing my laundry, minding my own business?

And I think in life, you know, you, there are times when minding your own business is better for everybody, just because you don't want to get into it, and it's, what's the point?

I mean, we've learned that in politics, haven't we? Like, what's the point?

And so, of course, I can't help myself because my father's, my father's daughter, and I said, something to the effective, she better not meet my mother, something like that, you know?

And she said something like, oh, oh boy, why don't I want to go to politics? You know, we can all be friends, and something like that, I don't, I don't, you know, I don't care, I'm a Democrat, I'm a Democrat, and she was going, on and on and on, I thought, I said, I don't care.

I'm just making a joke, you know, and it was so interesting to me because my, my spidey senses, my usual reaction would be, you know, the president saved my family's life, and I'm thinking, do I really want to have this conversation in the laundry room every time I go down to do my laundry?

No, but I wanted to say something, and I thought that was funny. And it was, it's true, you know, I'm sure my mother would be a wonderful debater with anybody.

Her age, at this point in my her life, she says, I don't care, I'm going to say what I want, and I've lived a life that I can have examples to share with many people who are interested or not interested. Sometimes I'll share my points of view, even if someone's not interested.

If it's someone that I've known for my whole life, I will, I will definitely speak up, and my mom wasn't always like that, but she's at the point where she has seen it all.

And I tell her, I do want to have her on as a guest. So because I think it's important. And at the same time, I want to recognize that this screaming woman at her television who has these boyfriends who seem to have had some fun times in her life is still very angry.

Very angry.

Why do I bring this up? I feel like sometimes you get into these situations where you're faced with decisions that must be made.

And what do you do about that? It just struck me. And I thought, well, let's dive into that a little bit today because there's a difference between self preservation.

And does God want me to talk about this and deciding what's the difference between the two? Like what? What is God calling me to do? Is God calling me to ask a question?

Oh, what is she so upset about? What is what is what is the main issue that she's your mother is so upset about? Or is it to let it go and know when it's time to put a period on something and move on?

And

you know, recently something happened, there was a court document that I opened up and I read and there was something that was unpleasant for me to read regarding my husband's case.

And I didn't really struck me that all these years that I've tried to get the truth out and continue to do that.

Some people will never give up that hill that they're literally dying on that hill. I mean, there's no other way to look at it.

And it's not about us. It's about them and their own issues and their own ego and their own, but to convince yourself of that and not want to go back and defend.

When you don't have to anymore because the president of the United States has said it so that he is innocent. My husband, it's what does it do?

Well, I don't know the answer to that question on this issue particularly because I don't like to react and I need to listen to my instincts and the little voice inside your head and what is it telling you to do?

And then I watched the State of the Union, which in the second part of this show, I want to dive into a bit because it really was one of the best speeches I've ever heard the president give.

And I wasn't going to talk about that today, but then I was in the laundry room and I have a woman that's screaming and yelling who's, you know, should be at the 18th hole of her life putting away and she's still so angry.

At someone who doesn't even know who she is and her politics are literally being screamed into a box.

And her daughter had to leave the apartment because she couldn't listen to her because it was so loud and she puts the television on too loud.

So, meaning even though her daughter agreed with her politics, the screaming of her mother and the television being so loud because she can't hear but she wants to hear it.

She wants to hear what the president has to say so she puts it so loud that she can hear it so she can yell back at him.

Now, her boyfriend's maybe, I mean, I don't know, maybe she was angry. Maybe she was upset, I don't know.

But I always see these encounters as opportunities to have further discussion because we're constantly learning.

And if we're not learning, we're done, you know, I want to be aware of my reactions to things.

And I think that's a challenge to all of us, especially when we're back against the wall in the animal and instinct is to fight back.

That's who we are. You know, we want to defend, we want to protect, we want to, and in this case sometimes you have to be right.

You are, you think you are right, so you'll fight to the death for it. And if you go back to history, that's what we did.

Usually some sort of religious issue, huge issue was, you know, they would fight for that cause. And be martyred for it. It was that powerful.

And I almost feel like we're in that zone. It's, it's so, I hate to say that, like, where are the bridges? You know, where, where, where do you find the bridges?

And if you don't have one, how do we even start building it?

I constantly in this laundry room, I have a woman saying, I don't want, I don't want to cause it, I don't want to have any enemies here in the building from one joke that I made about my mom, you know, talking to her mother.

They both, they're all the, they're high, upper 80s. But the, the instinct was we were going to be enemies.

How do you fix that? And that she was leaving and I was making small talk with other people and said, I made a joke about the swamp. You know, I sometimes work in the swamp.

You know, break that, her eyes, not mine, I don't care. You know, to me, I felt that she was very concerned that I was going to go, you know, full mega.

Apparently, it's the thing, right? On her. And I have no intentions of the sort whatsoever. I leave that to other people who are far better at it. And that's the hill there climbing up and want to, you know, defend.

And, and I will defend many things, but I will not have an argument with the lovely woman in the laundry room over our differences and politics.

And if you go off social media, it's, it's very rare that you see this in the wild as far as I can say this kind of one on one where you are seeing a stranger.

And you have a conversation like that and it ends up showing you something. And I'll go back to this observing people and how it can teach us so much.

I was watching an episode a clip of as a world turns while I was on the couch today. And there was a clip of Lisa Brown who played Iva played one of my mother's.

And it reminded me again of her skill at being able to play other people.

And how hard that is and how important it is to get it right.

And trying to understand why people say the things they say feel the way they feel act the way they act.

And I think if Lisa were alive today, and again, I've said this and Elizabeth Hubbard were alive today, my TV mothers who were polar opposites and politics, the conversations that I have missed in this time are regrettable.

It is a dying breed, if not already dead, of open conversation and probably in the arts completely really dormant.

I mean, I don't, I believe, I really do believe that artists can overcome such things.

The changing of the times, sometimes it's on a dime, something can happen and it changes us.

You know, the 9-11 issue is, I say, issue is that it was massive. It was a massive cultural shift in our country where we were all on the same side.

So I talk about this because there are days when I feel like we have made progress.

We've made some progress in the media, we've made some progress in recognizing some undeniable truths.

But how do we build from there? How do I build from this lovely woman who assumes because we don't think the same were enemies?

And as I'm talking to you now, I'm thinking through this because it's stuck with me.

And my initial instinct, looking back, is since it struck me so for myself, it put something in my head that made me very defensive.

And I thought about it and I made a joke. Now, why am I defensive? I have a personal reason for it to make me feel upset that people are giving the president screaming at him on television a hard time.

But do I want to tell people my story? Is it going to change how they feel? No. It hasn't changed how some people I know feel about the president even after what we've been through.

I have people who don't speak to me anymore, even though they know the president has done this for our family.

So you think a lady in the laundry room is going to change? But see, this is what this is all about.

Is that if I don't give it a chance, maybe that is the door that you go through to have conversation.

Maybe I missed an opportunity, but I won't do it again. I won't miss the opportunity again because I know that it was something that was put in my path to address or to try.

I'm willing to talk to anybody. I'm willing to have conversation with anyone about anything.

I don't work really hard. I don't say I don't. I work very, very hard to not feel personally attacked when judgements are made about certain issues because it's a reflection on how I believe.

So of course I'm very, I feel, take it very personally. I don't like to blanket anything towards a particular person or a party. I feel that's not right.

But here I happen to me.

So what do you do next time? Okay. I'll think about that.

And maybe I'm fresh off the high of the state of the union for lack of a better word. And I was just so overwhelmed with, with emotion about what President Trump did for me and my family.

I was so emotional that I felt that attack. Even that woman standing behind me, she didn't happen behind me. It felt like it was a personal attack on my family.

Because how could someone so good to us be viewed as so evil to others?

And then I had a lovely conversation with another woman who was in there, who son was in the army. And I said, you know, I've done work in DC and there's so much we don't know. And there's so little that goes out to the masses. And she said, you know, I think it's better that way.

And I let her talk. She says, we don't want our enemies to know everything we're doing.

We don't need to know everything that's going on.

True. And the more someone demands to know, it's not going to change the fact they're not going to tell you.

And then when it's turned into a political game, the noise gets louder, but the facts still remain the same, which is it's a need to know basis.

And how information is dispersed to us is purposeful. Donald Trump is one of the really the only people ever really he is one of a kind to put information out there.

Whether it's embellished a lack of a better word.

His point of view, which may or may not be what something else may reflect.

How he sees the world and how he sees his presidency is is that it is what it is.

And it turns people yelling at their television.

So if we want to grow, we want to, if we do, maybe you don't, maybe it's, it's okay to live in that bubble.

And it feels safe and you surround yourself with other people who live in that bubble because going outside the bubble is very scary.

But if you have any interest in building bridges, sometimes it starts with the lady in the laundromat.

Sometimes it's an engagement on social media with again, it's a stranger.

And they call you names and they call you all these horrible things, but you keep putting out the truth and you keep repeating it over and over again.

But you have to maintain your own sanity and your own peace of mind and you have to protect yourself and understand what is worth it and what's not.

You know, they say, choose your battles. Well, no, no kidding.

And I'll say it again, sometimes you are putting a position in life like I was to see it from the front lines and you have to let go of the unfortunate fact that many people

run on information that suits them in the moment that they've been just railroaded to believe.

But I really try hard to listen to the other side and listen to the other versions of the same exact piece of information and their point of view.

And I go, okay, I see what they're saying. I understand there. And I understand how they feel. And I've had to speak up to family members sometimes, of course, so on social media because no one gets together anymore.

But to say, here I am. Here I am. I'm your relative. I can help. I can at least listen. I at least know some people now who could do something about the issue that you feel so passionately about

that you're willing to call me names and call other relatives names and disparage people. And I say, I'm here.

You can find me. I'm no different than the person you knew when we were children and we grew up and we were empathetic our whole family.

And friends, that's still me.

So it's either one of two things. Either you want to do something about it or you want to live in the misery of it.

If you really want to do something about it, you can talk to me in the laundry room or you can pick up the phone, you can send me a message.

And I'm willing to have that discussion with anybody. But more often than not, usually that goes silent.

It won't make me stop doing it. It won't make me be quiet. It won't make me keep offering to help people.

Because when it comes to pain and struggle, party means nothing.

Humanity means everything. When we come back, let's talk about the state of the union. Wow. That was something else. We'll be right back.

When I saw 9 o'clock at night, when the state of the union was going to be honest, kind of an early-to-bed person now.

Never in a million years did I think that would happen.

But it has, and I embrace it. I'm also in Florida, and I'm also trying to decompress from the stress that I've been under.

And that makes me a little sleepier. A little more like I want to go to bed, but I sat on the couch and got sucked into it again.

Any time I see the president leaving the White House and doing one of his rallies or I'm instantly captivated.

Since this happened with my husband, when my husband was arrested in October of 2020, then we had the chaotic four years of Joe Biden.

Trump was kind of, you know, we didn't know what was going to happen to Donald Trump. He was talking a lot and fighting back.

And then the decision to try to keep him out went into full throttle.

So it was four years of trying to keep him out, stop him.

The assassination attempts arrests, I mean, you name it. I mean, this was, I will say this president, whether you like him or not, will go down in history as one of the most consequential presidents ever.

I mean, come on. I know that. It's, and I'm only 56, but I can see that.

And since he's been in office, it's, it is the show.

No one likes a show better than Donald Trump. And this is his show, but it's for the audience, which is for the people.

Okay. This whole idea that he's enriching himself and his family, he was already rich. His family's already rich. They've lost so much because of him being president.

I'm yada yada yada. We know this. We know this both sides. One says one thing. The other said the other.

So when he came out and started speaking, you had a preview of what he may be speaking about.

And I found myself very emotional many times.

And I feel like last night was a turning point for our country. I think.

And I'm, you know, I tried not to be so, I hate to use the word one-sided, but emotionally attached to one side because of my personal circumstance.

I, I wanted to look at what he was saying from a neutral perspective of common sense.

Now, they had another anti state of the union or state of the, whatever it was with people dressed in frog costumes and giraffe costumes and making all kinds of, I don't know,

to counter the state of the union.

You'll never be able to counter that. A, people love Donald Trump and love to hate him. One of the two, that's it. Those are the choices and watch for both reasons.

It's the, the housewives. You have to watch sometimes, even though you know there's going to be a cat fight.

There's something about it that draws you to it. I've never liked those shows. I've never been drawn to the housewives.

It makes me feel very uncomfortable. A lot of it is all made up and created by the producers, but still makes you feel like, ooh, unpleasant.

Similarly, some people see, I think Donald Trump is that, like the woman I was talking about in her, in her 80s, 90s is that she chose to turn on the television, turn up the volume, and yell at him.

So, if you don't like him so much, why are you watching it at all? How's her life going to change?

At all, based on that, that speech. So, she chose to do that. So, I'm right on that. There's definitely people watch to hate and watch to love.

Okay. And apparently 70 Democrats didn't show up in protest. First of all, so not what they're supposed to be doing as far as supporting our country.

It is childish. There's nothing unifying about that. If they want to unify the country, they don't. They want to separate the country.

There's very few congressman senators who do cross the aisle. That's true.

But this was the moment where, you know, last year, I don't know if it was last year, yelling and screaming and carrying on just for clicks or, you know, what sound bites, you know, again, we're onto them now.

We're onto the shenanigans. So, what do they do? They don't show up. They just don't come. And that to me is kind of waving the white flag.

They don't want to sit there and have their camera on them all the time with their faces smug. So, we're going to go down to Ebott's grill and have some cocktails or whatever they were doing. I don't know.

But that decision, you can talk about free will. So, that decision not to show up changed the dynamic of the room last night.

State of the Union night.

Energetically. Follow me on this.

If the room is balanced, one fighter on one side and one on the other, that's energetically they're going to go after each other.

You pull out a lot of that energy of the room. Well, someone's got to take it.

And it was the Republican side and Donald Trump's speech just put a blowtorch in a good way to that empty space.

Every person that he honored and gave a medal to when the US hockey team, men's hockey team came in and people went nuts.

There was nothing about his recognition of people. Let's start with that. The victims, the child that was on death's door, a little girl, because an illegal immigrant plowed into their car.

And she'll have lifelong disabilities from that horrific accident and near this little girl hugging her father in the house in Congress.

Under the under the dome.

The National Guardsmen who was on death's door and who's there with his mother gets a medal.

Purple heart. Wow. Powerful.

The lead, the lead helicopter pilot who went into Venezuela, who was injured, gets a medal.

These are moments in our country that have never been one party.

But yet the moment, the biggest moment of them all. And there were so many great moments. I mean, so many very, very powerful and telling moments.

It was when President Trump said, I want you to stand. If our job as an American government is to put Americans before illegals.

Maybe he said illegal aliens. Maybe he said that's I'm and nobody. Maybe John Fetterman. I'm not sure that right side was down sitting down. Mark Kelly.

And it was the biggest applause from the Republican side of the night.

It was probably the most important statement to our country about where certain people stand and where they don't.

It was whoever wrote that into his speech. It was the moment of calling people out. Just say it. Just stand or don't stand for it.

You've been dancing around it. You've been pushing legislation about it. But here on the global stage.

With the cameras on you as you sit there and you have no microphone in front of you. This is it. This is the moment.

Wow. And that young woman who was brutally stabbed her mother crying. They're bawling her eyes out, losing her daughter. And nobody stands up.

Maybe some did. But I'm saying this is this is the message was clear.

Stop the insider trading act. Yeah. Some people stood up.

But then they heard the name Nancy Pelosi and sat down. So, you know, the politics side on the right was so obvious.

And Donald Trump pointed out I said, have shame on you.

Because that came from his heart. That was not something that was scripted. That was something that came from his heart.

If you know Donald Trump, if you've been following Donald Trump as I have is that you can tell the times when he does not.

He wants to say something more. And he stops himself because it's not the time or the place.

And that was one of the moments.

You could feel his his his pain.

That people who represent our country are not willing to stand up for clear and dangerous.

Obvious. Assaults.

Literal and and otherwise on our country.

And why was it a pivotal moment? Why was it a change?

When you talk about reading the room and you talk about reading people's faces.

And they didn't have their full they weren't playing with their full team.

There was nowhere to go.

And I was not going to listen to the counter because I already know the only thing I was say I was headed on.

And I was not the only one who observed the fact that when the applause would go.

It would stop like a like cold. It was weird. It was like it was pre recorded or something. It was really strange.

And it to me.

The talking points are always going to be the same. They never change. They never they never evolve. They never get better.

They only get worse. And it's like, yes, did I say I want to have conversation.

I'm not having conversation with politicians like that who have no clue and no interest in having any conversations with me.

I'll have conversations with it with everyday people and listen.

But I'm not going to take anything.

A hard left out hard left Democrat politician is saying to counter what President Trump just said.

Because I like to put it through the filter of like, does this make sense? That's my.

That's literally my life in the last five years. That doesn't make any sense.

Let me look into that a little bit more. That doesn't make sense. That does make sense.

And I think Donald Trump knew that this was a pivotal moment.

And the fact that he didn't get his ruling on the tariffs from the Supreme Court bothers him.

Anything he doesn't get he's going to be he's going to be bothered by because he wants his agenda to go through.

And he knows that every turn there's going to be people trying to stop that.

So you know, if you know Donald Trump, it took everything in his power not to really, really lean into that.

Because because he knows that there's other ways to get achieve his goals.

But he wants us all on the same team and the American team, meaning we may making our country as great as it can be.

And maybe people see that getting to that result in a different path, a different way.

But the goal is the same.

He's passing this these Trump accounts where they're going to put money in newborns accounts.

It's amazing. It's an amazing program. How do you how can you afford to buy a house when you're in your 20 years old?

20 somethings they don't they can't now.

But if you put in a thousand dollars when they're born and our government supports that and that you can add to that and your companies will even put into that.

That's how you build this country back.

And the rumor is that California is going to tax people on that.

I mean, if they find something they can't tax, I mean they tax everything, everything.

So I think we're at the point now between common sense, obvious, good, which I think so much of a speech last night at the state of the union was.

If not for the administration prior giving CDL licenses to people who cannot speak English and who have not who not here illegally.

If you do the math on that, it's not going to end well.

That's obvious. Many people have died because of it.

The fraud in Minnesota 19 billion dollars of our tax money is being fraudulently laundered.

It doesn't matter who you are. None of that's good.

Obvious.

But how do we dial back the effort that's been put into our country and to the ether of our country to convince people that that's a non-issue?

A car goes 90 miles an hour underneath a tractor trailer and they all die in the car.

That's not an issue.

And I've talked about this. There are glimmers of hope.

And I think they just FBI just rated a I get this wrong. I apologize.

And it just happened a school Los Angeles that they I want to say superintendent. I could be wrong Los Angeles.

And why?

But if there's a case there.

And I think cash betel.

No matter what you think loves this country and if he has found fraud or he sees something that is glaring, he is chomping at the bit to take it down.

To put more money back in the taxpayers pockets and expose the fraud. It's so bad. It is so bad.

I have cases that I've looked into with my husband's case with the Somali fraud case in Minnesota, the Tim Waltz chapter of that case, what that looks like.

I mean, I've seen it just for my own research because I'm interested. Nick Shirley.

Exposing it. There's other Nick Shirley's now. I talked about this. It's fantastic. It's hard because it's hard to accept it.

And that's part of the whole process of putting things in the lane of common sense, which may go against what I've been told and believe in this and that.

So I really love what Donald Trump did.

He talked about Melania's programs for AI and help protecting children. We all want that.

If you have a teenage daughter, son, there's no doubt they've been victimized in some way.

Have to be right. It's like it's it's out of control.

There's a lawsuit going on right now against these platforms who have geared their material towards young children to influence their body image.

They're this is this is evil. And Melania has been helping with that program.

She's reuniting children in Ukraine with their parents.

They're finding they found through thousands of children who had gone missing in Minnesota, Tom Homan.

Why isn't that the top story on the news? But here's the thing. This these are common sense realities.

And the longer it keeps getting repeated and out that even today CBS news said that Donald Trump's facts on the murder rate in this country what he claimed at the state of the union was true.

Do you realize what a big deal that is for CBS news to put that out in the world?

And I told you about Barry Weiss. I told you the going after her. There's so many people trying to take her down who she's taken over CBS news.

And I read somewhere and this may be true. It's hard for people who have seen someone who was who appeared to be very more on the left side try to write that ship meaning try to get into the middle.

A lot of people take issue with that because they don't trust anything I mean trust they don't they don't they don't wait I thought you were on our side and now you seem to be going on their side and no I want to side and she doesn't want to be on a side so this is not going to be fixed overnight but I do think that these little victories or truths trying to I don't know what they're trying to do.

I don't know if it's I think is purposeful I think that knowing Trump his midterms are coming up that's it right like he he's only he has a few more years and he's going to do as much as he can but everyone in the world in politics is already looking to the other side of that.

So are they going to start giving Trump the wins that he deserves and putting out to the world all the good that he has been doing.

You may not agree with it but there are many good things that deserve to be recognized and someone said can you imagine if we all just really wanted the same thing and work together what a powerful country this would be.

How unstoppable we would be we always were and we still are but man the battle to get there is is covered with nails on the way trying to stop it but I do say that watching some of the I think Mark Kelly was one of them like just watching his face to me was telling.

I could see something behind his eyes and it wasn't resent me this is my personal observation.

Once you've crossed a line whatever line that is the line that you said you would never cross that's not you.

But you tell you tell one over the line just a little bit not saying he did or not just saying in general.

You really can never go back.

You have to lean in and then you lean in a little more and then you lean in a little more and then you become this machine.

Who long forgot why they started to doing this in the first place so I saw that in his eyes.

I saw Elon Omar screaming a Donald Trump and of course he doesn't acknowledge it why should he.

But she had to leave.

I could see it in her eyes when he said you should be ashamed of yourself when he named over and over again what was going on in this country it was just a glimmer it was a glimmer I saw her in DC I walked past her in DC and she hello how are you nice very very pleasant.

Very pleasant lady woman nice how are you good to see you so you know it may be wonder like what is this all about what's the real what's the politics.

I'm not saying their friends I'm just saying that that's hard to fake what I saw when I met her briefly very briefly it was dark and we were crossing paths outside the Capitol.

How are you today how good to see like to see you smile very very nice.

But who does she work for.

But there was something.

So in closing I do think.

There's a shift.

I've seen it coming for a little while and I don't like to be too optimistic I've seen too much.

But at this point we don't have a choice.

Some people say everything has to crash before it can get rebuilt but I think we're there.

And it gets rebuilt with a pebble you know a stone a little bit of cement.

And then a fighter in the Oval Office who's not stopping until he given every ounce of who he is in his heart and his soul and said and he can cross over and he will go to heaven.

He will go to heaven he can cross that line saying I did everything that I could did I mess up along the way yes who hasn't but he can rest his head on a pillow.

With his beautiful hair and never say I didn't try and he lives with a lot of betrayal a lot of people betrayed him a lot of people turn their backs on him a lot of people back stabbed him a lot of people

who literally wanted him dead and he still did it and he got up on that stage and I was there I got to go stage I got to go up there myself with Mike with the gavel and I stood there and looked out.

What an incredible feeling to be standing with the president stood last night and he delivered it a speech that was for the ages.

Have hope my friends.

And if I talk to the lady in the laundry room again I'll let you know but.

I don't like to give up too easily so I may try a different tactic and see how it goes if it works I'll let you know.

But in the meantime stay safe God bless pray for our country pray for your family pray for other people's family who need it more maybe this and I'll see you next time you good.
