Domenico Montanaro

As he says, it was a dead country.

Now it's the hottest country.

And it remains to be seen if this is going to work in a State of the Union address when it hasn't worked in all the other speeches and talks that he's given about how well he's done.

Voters aren't buying it.

Now, maybe this long speech will change their minds, but I think that would be

Well, yeah, but don't forget they're not watching the speech.

They're going to see snippets of the speech tomorrow.

And I don't know what was the viral moment out of this speech.

It's hard to pick one.

I thought he did make a little news.

He pretty much told Republicans he's not going to ask them to walk the plank and vote for these new tariffs under a different legal authority.

And I'm sure they're pretty happy about that.

I count it.

And he didn't ask them to get rid of the filibuster to pass the SAVE Act, one of the very few pieces of legislation he wants to get through.

And the SAVE Act just... That struck out at me.

I think he's trying to make this set piece event more watchable.

That's it.

I think he's putting in some drama, ordinary people getting rewarded for extraordinary acts.

He's trying to keep the audience.

I mean, I don't think there's anything necessarily wrong with it.
