And the thing I kept hearing from people, you know, in my chat groups and college friends and things like this was, my God, this is so grotesque and bloody and dystopian.

And like, it's over the top and it's sort of like bloodlusty, you know, kind of tone.

And I think they were really shocked by that in ways that...

The White House may have forgotten because they're not used to speaking to anybody except sort of the hardcore Trumpists.

And, you know, it probably would have been a safer speech for them politically if they had just shut up after the hockey team.

Well, they sat in their seats, Tim.

That was a very extraordinary moment.

And I think when we look back on this, you know, as they crossed the line in the qualifying heat, when we, I mean, it was definitely, he felt like he was channeling the Winter Olympics announcers, honestly.

Not only untrue, but misleading to the point of like,

In fact, politically speaking, I would argue one of the bigger problems for Trump coming out of this speech or that's reinforced by this speech is that the president of the United States seems delusional to everyday Americans.

When he goes on and on and on in the longest State of the Union in history telling people that there is no affordability crisis, in fact, that it is a made-up word – that's what he said again last night – is a made-up word that they use –
