Today, President Trump went on and on and on and on about the economy at the State of the Union last night.

Good morning.

You got one more day of me in the studio and Toby in a bedroom on the West Coast.

Toby, have you seen this new survey out about grocery stores?

The American Consumer Satisfaction Index surveyed 31,000 shoppers to find out America's favorite grocery stores, ranking them in categories like freshness of meat and produce, quality of the selection, the layout, and speed of the checkout process.

And what do you know?

Good old TJ's, Trader Joe's, came in first with a ranking of 86 out of 100.

In second place is Publix, the pride of Florida, followed by H-E-B, Sam's Club, Aldi, Costco, and Whole Foods.

Toby, what do you make of this ranking?

Okay, and before we move on, I have to shout out Big Y, the pride of Western Mass.

Everyone just has random field tea to their regional grocery stores.

It can't be explained.

We need to do research to see why we just care so much about this.

Okay, let's hit the news.

Ahead of last night's State of the Union address, President Trump said it's going to be a long speech because we have so much to talk about.

And he delivered on that promise, recording the longest State of the Union speech in American history.

Trump spoke for one hour and 48 minutes in front of a joint session of Congress and four of the Supreme Court justices who just a few days ago struck down his global tariffs.

The president spent much of that time speaking about the economy because that's, well, all anyone wanted to hear about.

Nearly 60% of respondents to a CNN poll said they most wanted Trump to discuss the economy, by far and away the most of any subject.

In this speech, Trump described the economy as roaring like never before, mentioning lower mortgage rates, cheaper gas, and a rising stock market.
