What is the purpose of the Friendly Fire coverage for the State of the Union?
We are now part of the endless Friendly Fire broadcast live coverage of the State of the Union. That's right. By the time this is over, Andrew Klavan will be dead and Matt Walsh, his beard will be gray and he will have no hair. So, you know, a lot's going to happen in the next few years because that's how long we are slated to be together. Basically, we are now doing the extended director's cut of all three versions of all three movies of Lord of the Rings, because that's what tonight is going to be.
So we have with me, of course, Matt Walsh, who is suffering, and Andrew Klavan, who is likely to suffer with me even more. Somehow Matt begged out of part of the show, which I got to say, that's a smooth move. Yeah, I know. I'm also confused as to how Matt is able to pull rank, and I'm stuck here all night with you, Klavan. as we go wall to wall on this coverage. It's a full-scale disaster. Folks, this is why you should subscribe for this kind of sparkling commentary. So I'll begin with Walsh because I'm going to get my money's worth out of Walsh. He usually speaks in these Friendly Fire episodes. I actually got like, I don't know, 15 words.
How do the hosts feel about the upcoming State of the Union address?
out of Walsh in a typical Friendly Fire episode, so we have to get all 15 of them in before the actual State of the Union address, which is to begin at 9 p.m. So, Matt Walsh, how pumped are you to be here for yet another State of the Union address? And can we expect your excitement levels to achieve the highest form of excitement, or will your soul leave your body in excitement? How excited are you here?
Well, I don't have a soul to begin with, so it can't leave my body. What I'm excited about is that when you guys come back to talk about and analyze the State Union, I'm going to be fast asleep in bed. I don't know what story I gave them, but I'm just going to actually be asleep. That's the truth of it. Let's just be honest about it. Look, I mean, I feel the same way you do, Ben, about the State of the Union addresses, that obviously they're mostly pointless, and if there's any kind of movement in the polls, it will last for five seconds and it won't matter anymore. So that's generally the case. I do think that... If there's any, you know, if I were to predict that anything out of this or if anything, you know, makes an impact out of this speech, I would guess it's likely to be less what Trump says in the speech and more the antics of the Democrats.
And I guess there's going to be fewer of them in the room now because a lot of them are boycotting. They're doing competing events.
What predictions are made about the Democrats' reactions during the speech?
They've got their own competing State of the Union. I saw someone mention on Twitter, it's like, it's literally the office. I mean, it's like something Michael Scott would do. And that's what they're doing now. But I expect that we heard about some of the illegal immigrants that are going to be attending, you know, Ilhan Omar and others along with her. And so, but I expect that the Democrats in the room, they're probably going to get a lot of antics out of that. And so if there's any, if anything really makes an impact, it's going to be them embarrassing themselves. And I think we're kind of at a point, like, I mean, the State of the Union has always been pointless. I think we're all on the same page.
He should just send an email and be done with it. But if there was ever a time when there was any sort of function of the State of the Union, which I guess is supposed to be, you've got both sides that are there and they're kind of unified and we're hearing the vision for the country going forward. And there's supposed to be a little show of kind of like unity and togetherness and some decorum and I think that's kind of the point of it, the pageantry. But that's out the window now. We can't do that anymore. Those days are long gone. And so it just makes it all the more like, why are we even still doing this with the State of the Union? We're at a point now where the Democrats cannot even pretend to have any basic respect for the other side at all.
They cannot do it.
