Love him or hate him, President Donald Trump came out swinging during his first address to a joint session of Congress — touting all his success in his first month and a half as president and laying out a clear path toward America’s future.
However, while Trump was met with a warm welcome by those on the right, the left was incapable of masking its fury.
This was made clear when the president put a 13-year-old brain cancer survivor — who has always wanted to be a policeman — on the center stage. The boy, DJ Daniel, was given a badge and made an honorary member of the Secret Service.
“The chamber erupted,” Glenn Beck of “The Glenn Beck Program” says, caveating, “at least half of it did.”
“The real story, I think that we have to talk about, is the planned coordinated action, or reaction, or inaction of the Democrats. It was unbelievable. Unbelievable. They just sat there, some with their union-printed signs or dressed in all pink for some unknown reason. Some kind of statement that nobody knew about or really honestly cared,” Glenn says.
“They just sat there, almost throughout the entire thing without moving. When Trump spoke of bringing the hostages back from Gaza, Americans reunited with their families, you would think everybody in the chamber would be like, ‘OK, that was good.’ Nope, not any movement from the Democrats, not a clap, not a twitch,” he continues.
“When he turned to Ukraine, he looked right at them and said, ‘You want to keep this going on for another five years?’ And Elizabeth Warren actually shouted ‘Yes!’ What kind of madness is that?” he asks.
Democratic Rep. Al Green from Texas also disrupted the speech, standing up and screaming over the president while waving his cane.
“He was just screaming, ‘You don’t have a mandate!’” Glenn explains. “Then Speaker Johnson, again here, I’ve never seen it before, he stands up twice and says, ‘Decorum, you are out of order.’ And Al Green just would not sit down. He kept shouting.”
“At first, the other Democrats were shouting with him. The second time, Mike Johnson stood up and said, ‘I’m going to call the sergeant of arms, this is your last warning,’” he continues, noting that when Green kept going, the sergeant of arms escorted him out.
“It’s a first. I mean, I looked all night trying to search the records. I could find no comparisons to this in the modern age,” he adds.
