Andrew and Jerry Save the 2024 State of the Union!
The State of the Union is Angry (or IS IT?)! Andrew and Jerry break down last week's bizarre and largely unprecedented State of the Union address. What does it say about Biden's mental state? They talk about the President's departure from SOTU norms by focusing on Ukraine at the top of the speech, then saying there's a crisis in democracy, and then spending a huge chunk of the speech demonizing his opponents. They draw in the breaking news regarding revelations about whether or not Trump advised that National Guard troops be brought to DC in advance of J6, and the risk calculus Democrats when through in deciding whether or not they should be brought to DC. The President is pressured into mentioning Laken Riley's name, botches it, but instead of apologizing for his lack of empathy, he instead apologized for using the term "illegal" when discussing the man accused of murdering her. They discuss Marxist dialectic, the synthesizing of problems and the progressives' recommendation that government is always the answer. The many lies told in the speech, and the double-standard of the media in holding Biden accountable. But is all lost? Are people realizing that the emperor has no clothes? Andrew and Jerry look to the comedy of Dana Carvey as an indicator that the vast independent middle is starting to realize that something is fundamentally wrong at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
