I too, I've come closer to you, Ben, on how I feel about the State of the Union.

It never used to bother me, the imperial part of it, but now it kind of does.

Now that our Congress is like a dead letter, that they're just sort of sitting around, the Supreme Court is trying to wake them up with like the shock paddles.

Take back your powers.

Like, no, no, don't make us take back our powers.

Now it is kind of like having Caesar get up there and give a speech.

So it's kind of a, I don't know, the whole thing is a disgrace on every side.

And one thing you can be sure of is Trump will play right into that.

I'm hoping Candace Owens would fly by on a broomstick saying,

Send out Erica.

I think a key thing here, you know, the polls are really bad for the president.

People are actually saying that they were better off a year ago.

And it's hard for me to see how that could possibly be true.

I mean, not only is the border closed, crime is down, drug use is down, imports of drugs are down.

All of these things have actually improved, but it's got to be about the economy and I think the affordability question.

And the thing, I do not believe it would be possible to impress this on Donald Trump.

But it's not a bad idea for him to acknowledge the fact that people are unhappy.

You know, this is something I used to say through the whole Biden administration.

People were going, you know, the inflation is killing us.

And Biden's people would come out and say, no, no, you're really happy.
