BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales is fairly certain that President Trump’s State of the Union address will go down as one of the best presidential speeches of our time — though some of the Democrat lawmakers in attendance made it clear they did not think so.

“I just love that the speech was so good. It was just such a positive, uplifting, incredible speech that even CNN had to admit it. They released a poll right after the speech: 64% of people had a positive reaction, compared to 36% having a negative reaction,” Gonzales says.

“They keep trying to tell you that everyone hates Donald Trump. They keep trying to make you feel like you are in the minority. They want you to think that you are in the minority if you appreciate this president following through on his promises,” she continues.

And while 36% had a negative reaction, Gonzales believes those are the same people who would have sat with the Democrats when Trump gave them a chance to publicly, and literally, stand for what’s right.

“If you agree with this statement, then stand up and show your support. The first duty of the American government is to protect American citizens, not illegal aliens,” Trump said, as the Republican side of the chamber all stood.

“You don’t think that your job is to protect American citizens over illegals? What the hell are you doing in Congress? In fact, I think that that alone is enough to just expel you from Congress. Like that’s kind of like the whole thing. That’s kind of your one job. You swear an oath that resembles, ‘Hey, I’m going to stand up for American citizens,’” Gonzales comments.

“And then to sit down — how absolutely disrespectful. Not even to the president, but to your American citizens and constituents that you claim to represent,” she adds.

Even when President Trump brought in the U.S. men’s hockey team — who just won gold at the Olympics — some of the Democrats stayed seated.

“That’s the first time I’ve ever seen them get up. And actually, not all of them did get up,” Trump said after introducing the team.

“And that is where I think that they have just really shown you their true colors. They don’t actually care about this country. They’re not patriots. They’re not patriotic. They don’t have a sense of patriotism when they think about this country. They actually think this country is bad,” Gonzales says.

Even when Trump paid tribute to the life of Iryna Zarutska, a young Ukrainian woman who was brutally stabbed to death while sitting on a train — as her mother cried in the audience — the Democrats stayed seated.

“That’s unspeakably evil. It’s almost like they want the violence and the carnage,” Gonzales says.

“I think that this is why the polls said the people overwhelmingly responded positively. They are tired of this anti-American rhetoric. They were happy that President Trump was actually calling them out on their bulls**t,” she adds.

A former Air Force major was arrested for allegedly training Chinese military pilots in a scheme arranged by a Chinese national who admitted stealing U.S. military secrets.

65-year-old Gerald Eddie Brown Jr. flew to China in Dec. 2023 to train pilots and returned in February of this year, according to the Dept. of Justice. He was arrested on Feb. 18 and charged with providing and conspiring to provide defense services to Chinese pilots without U.S. government authorization.

'He broke that oath and betrayed the country, jeopardizing the safety of our service members and allies.'

More significantly, Brown is also allegedly linked to Stephen Su Bin, a Chinese man who pleaded guilty in 2016 to conspiring to hack into U.S. defense contractors' computer networks and steal sensitive military data for the Chinese People's Liberation Army.

Su Bin was sentenced to four years in prison, and he was placed on the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Entity List in 2014, along with his company PRC Lode Technology Company.

The DOJ says Brown answered questions about the U.S. Air Force for about three hours on his first day in China and then presented a brief for the Chinese People’s Liberation Army Air Force on the second day.

The U.S. has warned that China is actively targeting Western countries in spying operations.

"China’s People’s Liberation Army (PLA) continues to target current and former military personnel from North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) nations and other Western countries to help bolster the PLA’s capabilities," read a warning in a joint 2024 statement from the U.S., the U.K., Australia, New Zealand, and Canada.

Brown was known by the call sign "Runner" during his 24 years in the U.S. Air Force. He could face significant prison time if convicted.

"As an Air Force Officer, Brown took an oath to defend our nation against all enemies foreign and domestic. He broke that oath and betrayed the country, jeopardizing the safety of our service members and allies," said U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro about the case.

"We will hold Brown, and anyone conspiring against our nation, accountable for their actions," she added. "The Department of Justice and my prosecutors are steadfast in our commitment to use every lawful tool available to keep American military expertise where it belongs — here in America."

Under President Donald Trump's new initiative, tech firms may be required to finance additional power generation to ease strain on public energy grids.

Military officials, defense analysts, and critics have issued numerous warnings in recent years about the state of America's military readiness.

While the Trump administration has taken steps to address some of the problems identified by scrutineers, there is at least one outstanding issue that could impact America's ability to wage a protracted ballistic war against its adversaries, namely its depleted stores of critical munitions.

'I don't want our adversaries to think for a second that we don’t have enough resources.'

Two U.S. military officials recently told the New York Times that the Department of War presently lacks the requisite forces and munitions for an extended bombing campaign against Iran.

One of the officials suggested that the American forces presently positioned in the region could continue strikes in the region for only seven to 10 days.

Christian Brose, the president of the American defense firm Anduril, similarly suggested earlier this week in a piece for the Wall Street Journal that "in a conflict with China, the U.S. would run out of critical munitions in days, according to the results of war games."

Amid such chatter and mounting concerns over what America's stockpiles might look like in the wake of a lengthier conflict with Iran, Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell said in a statement to Politico, "The Department of War has everything it needs to execute any mission at the time and place of the president’s choosing and on any timeline."

The Pentagon's confidence notwithstanding, some American officials and analysts are worried about how America's stockpiles will look after a potential conflict with Iran.

After all, by arming Ukraine for its ongoing war with Russia, bombing Houthi terrorists in Yemen, vaporizing numerous alleged Venezuelan drug-runners, and helping to protect Israel — which has its own sophisticated albeit depleted missile defense system — from regional threats, the U.S. has reportedly burned through a great many Patriot missiles, Standard Missile-3s, and Terminal High Altitude Area Defense interceptors.

According to American Enterprise Institute fellows Mackenzie Eaglen and Todd Harrison, the U.S. expended over 150 THAAD anti-ballistic missile interceptors defending Israel in June 2025 during its 12-day conflict with Iran.

That's reportedly nearly 25% of its total number of THAAD interceptors and reportedly three times the average annual procurement since 2010.

Each THAAD interceptor is valued at approximately $12.7 million.

The AEI duo noted that during the same conflict, the U.S. also launched over 80 Standard Missile-3 interceptors.

According to a December report by the Center for Strategic and International Studies, the SM-3 missiles fired last June — which range in cost from around $9.6 million to $27.9 million — represented nearly one-fifth of the military's stockpile at the end of 2025.

"If the Iranians can deplete 25% of America’s THAAD stocks and a significant portion of our SM-3 magazines in a few days, the Chinese can and will exhaust them in a few hours," wrote the AEI duo, who proposed that the military "regain its ability to compete at scale."

American forces in the Red Sea have also expended a significant number of munitions battling Houthi terrorists in recent years.

Stars and Stripes reported last month that Navy forces had fired over 200 missiles and 150 artillery rounds in response to Houthi attacks since November 2023.

Vice Admiral Brendan McLane, commander of Naval Surface Forces, told Stripes that over the past 15 months or so, the Navy had fired 120 SM-2, 80 SM-6, and 20 Evolve Sea Sparrow and SM-3 missiles.

SM-2 and SM-6 missiles roughly cost $2.1 million and $3.9 million each, respectively.

While Rep. Ken Calvert (R-Calif.) acknowledged to Politico that munitions scarcity was "not a secret," he indicated that assembly lines for air defenses such as THAAD systems and Patriot interceptors have been "set up, and they just have to maximize, with double or triple shifts."

"I don't want our adversaries to think for a second that we don’t have enough resources," Calvert added. "We do."
