Transcript:

The State of the Union address is tonight. Many of you don’t plan to watch. Many of you do. Either way, we should be prepared for the lies and the gas lighting and what certainly will be another round of if it’s bad, blame Biden or Obama, and if it’s good, Trump gets the credit.

We heard from Karoline Leavitt, Trump’s press secretary, previewing the State of the Union, and that is exactly the plan that she is laying out, humiliating herself on Fox News and in front of reporters.

We are also going to talk about a scary moment where Donald Trump appeared completely disoriented in exactly the way they claimed Biden was disoriented, but right wing media is completely silent.

JD Vance resurfaces with another reminder as to why they try to prevent him from speaking publicly too too much, because he’s very, very bad at it.

And another dust up between Donald Trump and Gavin Newsom raises the sun downing question as Trump’s reading abilities are back in focus.

What does the next eight months look like leading up to the midterms? Well, a lot of it is going to be determined by what happens over the next 24 to 48 hours.

All of that today.
