At President Trump's speech last night, I was sitting right behind the Democrats in the gallery.
I had a perfect bird's eye view of everything.
No doubt very dramatic for all of those watching but there was so much more the cameras missed. 🧵
Not only did the Dems not applaud or stand for the stories honoring average Americans but neither did their guests in the gallery.
Even for the most heartwarming moments most stayed seated, very few ever applauded.
It was heart-breaking to see.
During these moments I could see entire rows of Democrats staring down at their phones.
I was close enough to see what they were looking at - most were texting or scrolling through social media feeds.
The only moment during the speech that generated enthusiastic, collective applause was when Trump mentioned spending hundreds of billions on Ukraine. There were 5 or 6 Dems that immediately pulled out Ukrainian flags and started waving them.
This was notable since their applause was not meant to celebrate any result of that spending (i.e. a tangible victory for Ukraine or benefit to America) but was in response to the mention of "spending" itself.
The fact that this was so natural and immediate was unnerving. It was the only thing that pulled their faces away from their phones.
Not the celebration of life in our homeland but death of hundreds of thousands in a foreign one.
Beyond the applause, there were a few other other notable observations.
After Al Green started yelling and shaking his cane at Trump, the first person security approached was not Green but Nancy Pelosi, almost like she was the pit boss for the Dem side.
I could tell she not pleased since I didn't even see her turn her head towards the security guard.
This would have required Pelosi to look towards her right side which was the direction where Green was embarrassing himself in front of the country.
Not really surprised by her reaction since this would have compounded the collective sense of defeat on the Dem side of the chamber.
While the cameras were focused on the characters on the chamber floor, they missed the ones in the gallery.
Like a young woman caddy corner to my left.
It looked like she was dressed in sweats and was fully passed out for the entire speech.
And it didn't seem like this was an act of protest or defiance but that she was actually sleeping, working her way through multiple REM cycles.
She even used the tight seating in the gallery to her benefit - relying on her neighbors' shoulders and arms to achieve the most comfortable position possible for an extended tiger snooze.
At one point I thought she was snoring. Unfortunately, I was too far away to obtain audible verification.
Then there was a young guy with a voluminous shoulder-length mullet, a Lieutenant Dan-esque military jacket, and blue jeans.
One of the guys sitting next to me said it was likely one of Peter Thiels famous tech prodigies.
Probably top three coolest people in the room I imagine.
Then there was the entire row of mainstream media journalists - about a dozen or so - directly behind Trump in the gallery.
What made this stand out was that they all had the same grey MacBook which formed a wall of apple logos.
It was too symbolic for the current moment in American history.
The irony was almost too much given the viral video earlier that day which showed over twenty Democrat senators reading the same script, using the same microphone, producing one of the most cringeworthy displays of shameless inauthenticity.
But the most remarkable part of it all was the indescribable energy coming from the Republicans.
It was truly a sight to see such an impressive group of people, from every possible background and every political persuasion coalesce around a shared vision.
One of the most important moments in American history and I was able to be a part of it. Will be forever grateful for Senator Hawley having me as a guest. @HawleyMO.

If you want to understand the DOJ's investigation into gender clinics' fraudulent billing practices, best place to start is this Kaiser Health News article.
It tells the story of Tim Chevalier - a lady who believes she's a man who needs laser hair removal for a "phalloplasty."
Article starts by explaining Chevalier's insurance, Anthem, denied coverage for laser hair removal because it was "cosmetic."
It goes on to explain that "insurance companies, sometimes question mental health claims more rigorously than those for physical illnesses."
The article includes Johanna Olson-Kennedy, one of the trans industry's apex predators.
She endorses the move from ICD-10 (currently in use) to ICD-11.
Her reason is that gender diagnoses would "no longer be a mental health condition, but sexual health one."
Since "sexual health" diagnosis codes are considered physical condition as opposed to a mental health condition, the idea is that insurance would more easily cover the hormones and surgery that are part of "gender affirming care."
In a 2023 podcast, AMA and Harvard "experts" lay out the medical billing scam used for abortion.
This is same exact scam used in gender clinics.
They were warning activists of the massive criminal consequences of False Claims Act.
This reveals their greatest vulnerability 🧵
Notice the intro how they make very specific claims - so specific you could say they are suspiciously specific.
Like they know exactly what is going on and running cover.
Especially once you realize both are leaders in elite left wing activist networks.
Things get even more suspicious when they describe the exact diagnosis codes used to submit fraudulent abortion claims.
And now we know this likely reflects systematic criminality since gender clinics relied on false codes like "endocrine abnormality" and "precocious puberty."
Dr. Guyatt is a Canadian physician who was inducted into the Canadian Medical Hall of Fame in 2016 and is the founder of evidenced based medicine (EBM).
He actually coined the term "evidenced based medicine" in 1991 (original article - image #2).
A top Fed lawyer who oversaw my prosecution snaked his way to become the top pick for US Attorney in SDTX.
John Pearson presents as a "Republican" but under Biden, he transitioned to Leticia James.
His nomination to Cruz and Cornyn is imminent unless we do something about it.
I've spoken with people on the nomination committee as well as SDTX prosecutors who personally witnessed Pearsons's transition to radical left-wing sock puppet under Biden.
Now that he wants an appointment from President Trump, he pretends to be a staunch, conservative.
Pearson gloated to nomination committee that he signed my dismissal.
They were told Pearson had “nothing to do with” my case.
Impossible. He was involved, likely every step of the way. And he did nothing to stop it.
I outlined this in a letter I sent to Cruz/Cornyn’s staff.
I did a deep dive into Sotomayor, Kagan, and Jackson's dissenting opinion.
It's even worse than I expected.
Follow this thread to see for yourself. 🧵
Their main argument is that the law discriminates on the basis of sex since there are certain medications that make boys look like boys, vice versa for girls.
But that's insane.
These treatments are meant for diagnosable pathologies in order to restore normal physiology.
It would be like saying a patient without cancer but "identifies as having cancer" is being discriminated against because a doctor is refusing to give them chemotherapy.
They have the audacity to claim the majority opinion "contorts logic" while they rely on anti-logic.
