Speaker 1 (00:00):
For the address.
Speaker 2 (00:00):
White House officials were previewing all the energy that President
Biden would show after the speech. The Democratic reviews were
all about the energy that President Biden showed in the speech.
Why is it so important to point out the energy?
Speaker 3 (00:12):
Well, it's infectious.
Speaker 1 (00:13):
I walked into that room.
Speaker 3 (00:14):
I've been to a whole lot of these speeches, but
I was so excited by how Biden presented himself and
what he said. The speech showed that America is strong
and Biden is strong, and anyone who sat in that
room would have no doubt that Biden is ready for
a great second campaign and even more a great second term.
(00:36):
He was filled with focus and enthusiasm.
Speaker 4 (00:39):
That's Majority Leader Chuck Schumer of the Democrats, reflecting what
a lot of pundits are saying, is that Democrats after
the speech were giddy. Peggy Newnan in the Wall Street
Journal said they were bubbly. They were like, oh my god,
he can still do it. Thank God, we don't have
to wrestle with this. How will we get him out?
What would we do with Kamala Harris? He's still got it?
(01:00):
Heard there, I mean, Schumer sounds like a kid on Christmas.
Oh my God, I got the pony I wanted.
Speaker 5 (01:07):
So yeah, I'm reminded of somebody who says, you know,
I'm feeling better today. I don't think I'm gonna see
the doctor about that clearly serious health problem. They can
keep old Mumbles on the ticket as long as they want.
At some point it's going to become obvious he's got
to go. Well, that's my ultimate point, My ultimate ultimate point.
My ultimate point from last night was that he cleared
(01:29):
the bar pass fail. He passed quite easily, and Democrats relieve.
But the ultimate ultimate point is, go ahead, stick with him,
Please do because I think he's so beatable.
Speaker 4 (01:39):
I don't think the polls will turn around. I think
Trump's gonna get elected president, which i'd prefer to Joe Biden.
But Peggy Noonan in the Wall Street Journal today, she
was She's a Republican. She was a speechwriter for Ron Reagan.
She's a good writer. There's life in the old boy.
Yet the great question the past month was about his persona.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
Would he walk in shakily when he was done?
Speaker 4 (01:59):
Would we be using words like old, frail and capable embarrassing?
Speaker 1 (02:03):
We won't.
Speaker 4 (02:04):
People will say that the guy has a lot of
fight at him. He was wide awake, seemed to be
wide awake because of who knows what kind of drugs
which he was wide awake. He was jabbering like a cokehead.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
Seemed to be relishing. The moment.
Speaker 4 (02:16):
Did not seem to tire much, and in fact improved
as the speech moved along. He showed energy and focus,
blurred some words and thoughts, maintained a brisk pace. He
almost never spoke softly. He sometimes yelled. There was a
give him hell, Harry vibration, as if he'd been reading
up on Truman. The White House meant to quell growing
Democratic fears on the president's age and acuity. They succeeded,
(02:38):
at least for a while. Congressional Democrats looked happy to
the point of bubbly when it was over, and you
just heard the bubbly leader of the Senate. It can
also be said the President often maintained an indignant and
hectoring tone that he confuses with certitude and commitment. In
the end, I don't know if the speech came across
to a viewer at home as strong and focused, or
has has been said angry old man yells at class.
(03:00):
That probably depend on where you stand and Joe Biden. Absolutely,
I don't know if mister Biden changed his situation, but
it sure was interesting. I think exactly, if you're a Democrat,
you're like, oh, he can still do it, So that's
all they want.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
Peggy Newton is a great writer.
Speaker 5 (03:15):
I really like her the fact that she did not
even consider because she is, you know, for all of
her insight and intelligence, she is part of the inside
Washington and side crew. And apparently it's still not proper
to say in polait company he was clearly medicated.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
Because he was clearly medicated. I think it's self evident.
Speaker 4 (03:36):
I don't I haven't heard many people say that out loud.
I mean other than like you and I and Sean Hannity.
I mean, I'm surprised it's not more of a regular
conversation in polite company, because come on, if you shuffle
or shuffle to the helicopter and back every day whisper
like this is it out of breath?
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Then like twice a year you show up, Hey, how
you doing? How is everybody? Yeah? What is nobody gonna
comment on this? He's gotten So we mentioned this earlier.
Speaker 5 (04:06):
We got an email from a forensic psychiatry nurse with
a special specialization in addictions.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
He writes, I watched the.
Speaker 5 (04:15):
Actually I don't know if it's a he or she mo,
it's probably I think it's miss mo. In I watched
the clinical display of symptoms of someone under the influence
of psychoactic substances. It's especially apparent when you have a
clinical baseline of cognitive dysfunction. His speech was pressured and rapid.
He displayed mood swings anger. Yeah again, as I said,
(04:38):
he jabbered like a cokehead.
Speaker 4 (04:40):
Well that part there when you have a baseline to
compare it to. That's that's what I'm saying. We see
that every single day, So come on debates and State
of the Union addresses only occasional, but once a year
press conference, so there's like three times a year they
get him pumped up full of whatever this is. I
would love to know more about. I think it's fascinating.
(05:01):
If you can do that occasionally, why don't they do
it more often? Is it like hard on the heart
or the brain or something.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
Yeah, it's almost got to be.
Speaker 5 (05:09):
But apparently that information is more closely guarded than the
nuclear codes because it's again it's self evident he's medicated,
but nobody's talking about it. Did you have something else
you want to do right now? It just occurred to me.
We got some pretty decent emails, and I was just
go, go ahead, we could hit a couple of those. Hey, guys,
been listening since Jack's first kid was born. At his
(05:30):
birthday yesterday, right, yep, turn fourteen, we went to Wendy's.
Then we had Oreo ice cream cake. So I had
a Wendy's cheeseburger, then Oreo ice cream cake, and I
just felt fantastically and in bed last night, I'll tell
you it felt like Joe Biden felt like yelling at
people a rapid fire style for an hour plus.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
Pressure guys.
Speaker 5 (05:49):
Tonight, my wife, who's a teacher, compared Biden's State of
the Union address with a recent third grade student body
presidential campaign. The first candidate ran on an anti bullying
platform sadly because he was bully in his class and
his teacher allowed it. The second candidate promised candy and
longer recesses.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
You guessed it.
Speaker 5 (06:06):
Second candidate one. Yeah, there was a fair amount of
candy handed out at.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
The so too. Yeah, all that stuff is just dumb.
Speaker 5 (06:15):
It works, but there's no better word for it than that.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (06:21):
Oh, Katie Britt does her best high school drama impression. Oh,
that's unfortunate. This year I had the pleasure of judging
my first high school speech and debate meat. Unfortunately for
the Republican Senator, BRIT's rebuttal to the State of the
Union would not have made it into the top by
performances of the high school kids I've judged. I've actually
judged those two. It's really interesting. Donald Trump the only
candidate that could lose to Joe Biden. The Republican Party
(06:43):
can't get out of its own way.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
Yeah, that's you know.
Speaker 5 (06:48):
I wish I could have coached Katie Britt because she's
a very bright woman, very promising, but she came off
as well frightening, frankly unhinged in her response.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
Her only saving grace is nobody really sees it. I
hate to see.
Speaker 4 (07:04):
Yeah, the the the the opposite party response doesn't matter much.
It really it's for the insiders. It's a chance to
show insiders. Are you ready for the next stage?
Speaker 1 (07:18):
You know?
Speaker 4 (07:18):
Should we throw money into you? Are you vice presidential
running mate? Material? And I want to like her, because,
like I said, I've watched a bunch of YouTube videos
over and been really impressed. But man, that thing last night,
I don't think that's all an unfair thing to call
her unhinged. It seemed unhinged if I didn't know her
background at all, if I hadn't seen her another settings.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
I think, what's going on here?
Speaker 5 (07:40):
Yeah, it was like borderline personality disorder. I mean wild
emotional swings in that s which is again it's not true.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
She's not that way.
Speaker 5 (07:49):
She's staring into a camera in her kitchen trying to
come off as natural.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
She happens to be rather poor at it. At least
was last night.
Speaker 4 (07:56):
I found it hot. What's that say about me? It's like, oh,
there something about the level of in the kitchen desperation.
I don't know what was going on there.
Speaker 5 (08:04):
Wow, I know what hot kitchen love or the just
the it's all about to come apart vibe. I don't
know what it was. Then she's cute, so I know
what's going on there. I think you need to lie
down on Michael's couch and have him analyze you.
Speaker 4 (08:19):
I need to help, Yes, Katie, you you need to
lay off the beard.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
Dive escalating quickly.
Speaker 4 (08:26):
That's what Hanson keeps saying. There's something about the Chinese
Beard die of music. It's leaking to my brain.
Speaker 5 (08:31):
Yeah, an apparently crazy woman veering from emotion to emotion
in her kitchen.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
I found that hot. Hey, Hanson thought the same thing,
and he doesn't use Beard dye.
Speaker 4 (08:41):
Hanson felt the same way. Okay, there was something appealing
about it. I don't know what Katie talked to me, Hanson.
I'll but Hanson, what's got?
Speaker 1 (08:47):
What I got?
Speaker 4 (08:48):
I've got a bit of a rescue thing that I've
late in life figured out. I I want to help
people who are struggling. And that's that's a thing in relationships.
Have you ever heard of that, Katie today? I have,
I have and and and it can ruin your life.
You come across people who are struggling and you try
to help them, and they're just gonna drag you down.
But I think so That's what I was going on
(09:11):
with her last night. I think I think I can
help you out of this obviously tragic situation you're in
in your kitchen, because you seems like you're about to
lose your mind.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
Anson says he doesn't know what you're talking about. Now, Wow,
he disamows, he disavows. So I want to split you
want to split hours? I do, I really do. I
don't know.
Speaker 5 (09:29):
Can we like form a team formerly? I don't know
how that works. Carry sent us this email. Apparently Grampy
Joe is on fire, and Carrie went to the trouble
of assembling the following headlines from the AP USA Today CNBC.
Here's a different one from the USA Today. Biden's fiery
State of the Union address issues contrast with Trump. Biden olden, frail, Nope.
(09:54):
President delivers his fiery State of the Union, Da da da.
Biden electrified Democrats spars with republic Plicans in Fiery State
of the Union. State of the Union replay Biden's fiery
so too and BRIT's response.
Speaker 4 (10:07):
So, the idea of where you stood before I had
the beholder rorshock test thing is so clear. I mean,
if you kind of like Biden wanted him to succeed,
it's fiery. If you don't lean that direction, it's like
an old man you didn't like yelling at you.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
He yelled virtually the entire thing. Yes, I did, Joe.
I think that's why we all talk.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
Now, hy you on?
Speaker 5 (10:29):
I mean, that's not a political like stance or value judgment.
Either somebody's shouting or they're not. And he was shouting clearly.
Do we have a second to play a clip?
Speaker 1 (10:41):
Sure? Big one? All right, big one? Big a clip?
Speaker 5 (10:46):
Okay, Now I'm listening because you're yelling at me. Uh
you know, just play forty one?
Speaker 6 (10:51):
Michael, I say to the American people, when America.
Speaker 4 (10:56):
Is knocked down, we get back up, we keep going.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
That's America.
Speaker 5 (11:07):
So there's some good shouting. But that was a shoutable phrase.
I'm gonna be fair, right.
Speaker 4 (11:11):
That's what I was gonna say. That was a shoutable
portion of the speech. But he talked at that volume
for all of it. We're gonna raise taxes by twenty
percent on people who make more than what Why are
you shouting this?
Speaker 1 (11:26):
How about forty three? Michael?
Speaker 6 (11:28):
I've been delivering real results in fiscally responsible ways. We've
already cut the federal deficit. We've already cut the federal
over a trillion dollars.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
Oh jeez. I signed the.
Speaker 6 (11:38):
Bipartisan deal that was the biggest lord to cut another
trillion dollars in the next sesto. My goal to cut
the federal dives another three trillion by making big corporations
very wealthy, finally beginning to pay.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
Their fair share. God, that's so tiring. That's going on.
Speaker 4 (11:55):
One of my favorite economists twitter feed last night and
he was tearing apart all the various claims you cut
the deficit of my trillion. Yeah, you came in during
the pandemic and this was going on and then we
went back to normal. I mean, come on, when you're
taking credit for that? So that was idiotic?
Speaker 1 (12:11):
Was it?
Speaker 6 (12:11):
Was it?
Speaker 1 (12:12):
Idiotic? Enough? Forty four?
Speaker 6 (12:15):
Too many corporations raise prices to pad the profits, charge
you more and more for less and less. That's our
it's cracking down on corporations and engaging in price gallenging
and deceptive pricing, from food to health care to housing.
In fact, the snack companies think you won't notice if
they change the size of the bag and put a
(12:37):
hell of a lot fewer same size bag, put fewer
chips in it.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
No, I'm not joking. We need shrink flation. We don't know.
Speaker 4 (12:45):
We're laughing at me, not with you exactly. We know
you're not joking. We think you're just wrong. Shrinkflation. Yes,
it's kind of different. It's like the flip side of inflation.
They can either raise the price or give you less
for the same price. But it's inflation caused by well,
your policies.
Speaker 5 (13:02):
Right exactly, and the snack companies with their shrink flated chips.
I hate that when I go to the compulsory grocery
store where.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
I have to buy products and have no choice. See
talking about it.
Speaker 5 (13:16):
Oh did you hear a Sesame Street literally had a
segment where Cookie Monster was complaining about shrinkflation.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
Me hate shrinkflation.
Speaker 5 (13:25):
Met cookies are getting smaller, Cookie Monster actually said Sesame
Street And it's a you know to a children's television
workshop is owned by heavy, heavy Democratic supporters. Evidently, now
the Cookie Beast is now echoing Democratic talking points on
the kids show.
Speaker 4 (13:45):
We got to take a break, but it just occurred
to me psychologically. Businesses should learn this. For whatever reason,
if you raise the price of the product the same size,
government or somebody gets blamed for that.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
Inflation is like, it's not your thing. Prices up nobody's.
Speaker 4 (14:00):
But if you shrink the product and keep the price
the same, it gets blamed on you.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
It's just a mental emotional thing, I guess. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (14:08):
I'm not sure anybody's buying the Democratic talking point. Probably
some people are who don't know.
Speaker 4 (14:12):
But certainly the just flat inflation if the product is
the same size. I don't remember anybody thinking that's gouging.
So huh, maybe you're better off raising the price of
the eminem's rather than putting one eminem in the back.
Speaker 5 (14:27):
Armstrong and

I found it hot. What's that say about me? It's like, oh,
there something about the level of in the kitchen desperation.
I don't know what was going on there.
Speaker 5 (08:04):
Wow, I know what hot kitchen love or the just
the it's all about to come apart vibe. I don't
know what it was. Then she's cute, so I know
what's going on there. I think you need to lie
down on Michael's couch and have him analyze you.
Speaker 4 (08:19):
I need to help, Yes, Katie, you you need to
lay off the beard.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
Dive escalating quickly.
Speaker 4 (08:26):
That's what Hanson keeps saying. There's something about the Chinese
Beard die of music. It's leaking to my brain.
Speaker 5 (08:31):
Yeah, an apparently crazy woman veering from emotion to emotion
in her kitchen.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
I found that hot. Hey, Hanson thought the same thing,
and he doesn't use Beard dye.
Speaker 4 (08:41):
Hanson felt the same way. Okay, there was something appealing
about it. I don't know what Katie talked to me, Hanson.
I'll but Hanson, what's got?
Speaker 1 (08:47):
What I got?
Speaker 4 (08:48):
I've got a bit of a rescue thing that I've
late in life figured out. I I want to help
people who are struggling. And that's that's a thing in relationships.
Have you ever heard of that, Katie today? I have,
I have and and and it can ruin your life.
You come across people who are struggling and you try
to help them, and they're just gonna drag you down.
But I think so That's what I was going on
(09:11):
with her last night. I think I think I can
help you out of this obviously tragic situation you're in
in your kitchen, because you seems like you're about to
lose your mind.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
Anson says he doesn't know what you're talking about. Now, Wow,
he disamows, he disavows. So I want to split you
want to split hours? I do, I really do. I
don't know.
Speaker 5 (09:29):
Can we like form a team formerly? I don't know
how that works. Carry sent us this email. Apparently Grampy
Joe is on fire, and Carrie went to the trouble
of assembling the following headlines from the AP USA Today CNBC.
Here's a different one from the USA Today. Biden's fiery
State of the Union address issues contrast with Trump. Biden olden, frail, Nope.
(09:54):
President delivers his fiery State of the Union, Da da da.
Biden electrified Democrats spars with republic Plicans in Fiery State
of the Union. State of the Union replay Biden's fiery
so too and BRIT's response.
Speaker 4 (10:07):
So, the idea of where you stood before I had
the beholder rorshock test thing is so clear. I mean,
if you kind of like Biden wanted him to succeed,
it's fiery. If you don't lean that direction, it's like
an old man you didn't like yelling at you.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
He yelled virtually the entire thing. Yes, I did, Joe.
I think that's why we all talk.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
Now, hy you on?
Speaker 5 (10:29):
I mean, that's not a political like stance or value judgment.
Either somebody's shouting or they're not. And he was shouting clearly.
Do we have a second to play a clip?
Speaker 1 (10:41):
Sure? Big one? All right, big one? Big a clip?
Speaker 5 (10:46):
Okay, Now I'm listening because you're yelling at me. Uh
you know, just play forty one?
Speaker 6 (10:51):
Michael, I say to the American people, when America.
Speaker 4 (10:56):
Is knocked down, we get back up, we keep going.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
That's America.
Speaker 5 (11:07):
So there's some good shouting. But that was a shoutable phrase.
I'm gonna be fair, right.
Speaker 4 (11:11):
That's what I was gonna say. That was a shoutable
portion of the speech. But he talked at that volume
for all of it. We're gonna raise taxes by twenty
percent on people who make more than what Why are
you shouting this?
Speaker 1 (11:26):
How about forty three? Michael?
Speaker 6 (11:28):
I've been delivering real results in fiscally responsible ways. We've
already cut the federal deficit. We've already cut the federal
over a trillion dollars.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
Oh jeez. I signed the.
Speaker 6 (11:38):
Bipartisan deal that was the biggest lord to cut another
trillion dollars in the next sesto. My goal to cut
the federal dives another three trillion by making big corporations
very wealthy, finally beginning to pay.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
Their fair share. God, that's so tiring. That's going on.
Speaker 4 (11:55):
One of my favorite economists twitter feed last night and
he was tearing apart all the various claims you cut
the deficit of my trillion. Yeah, you came in during
the pandemic and this was going on and then we
went back to normal. I mean, come on, when you're
taking credit for that? So that was idiotic?
Speaker 1 (12:11):
Was it?
Speaker 6 (12:11):
Was it?
Speaker 1 (12:12):
Idiotic? Enough? Forty four?
Speaker 6 (12:15):
Too many corporations raise prices to pad the profits, charge
you more and more for less and less. That's our
it's cracking down on corporations and engaging in price gallenging
and deceptive pricing, from food to health care to housing.
In fact, the snack companies think you won't notice if
they change the size of the bag and put a
(12:37):
hell of a lot fewer same size bag, put fewer
chips in it.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
No, I'm not joking. We need shrink flation. We don't know.
Speaker 4 (12:45):
We're laughing at me, not with you exactly. We know
you're not joking. We think you're just wrong. Shrinkflation. Yes,
it's kind of different. It's like the flip side of inflation.
They can either raise the price or give you less
for the same price. But it's inflation caused by well,
your policies.
Speaker 5 (13:02):
Right exactly, and the snack companies with their shrink flated chips.
I hate that when I go to the compulsory grocery
store where.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
I have to buy products and have no choice. See
talking about it.
Speaker 5 (13:16):
Oh did you hear a Sesame Street literally had a
segment where Cookie Monster was complaining about shrinkflation.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
Me hate shrinkflation.
Speaker 5 (13:25):
Met cookies are getting smaller, Cookie Monster actually said Sesame
Street And it's a you know to a children's television
workshop is owned by heavy, heavy Democratic supporters. Evidently, now
the Cookie Beast is now echoing Democratic talking points on
the kids show.
Speaker 4 (13:45):
We got to take a break, but it just occurred
to me psychologically. Businesses should learn this. For whatever reason,
if you raise the price of the product the same size,
government or somebody gets blamed for that.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
Inflation is like, it's not your thing. Prices up nobody's.
Speaker 4 (14:00):
But if you shrink the product and keep the price
the same, it gets blamed on you.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
It's just a mental emotional thing, I guess. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (14:08):
I'm not sure anybody's buying the Democratic talking point. Probably
some people are who don't know.
Speaker 4 (14:12):
But certainly the just flat inflation if the product is
the same size. I don't remember anybody thinking that's gouging.
So huh, maybe you're better off raising the price of
the eminem's rather than putting one eminem in the back.
