It did look like the Matrix.
Maybe that's what it was, Sam.
Maybe they needed the Matrix in order to bring Joe Biden to life.
Maybe Joe Biden's gonna be like Tupac at Coachella.
He's gonna be a hologram.

benny johnson
Let's go, come on.
Let's do the Let's Go Brandon thing.
unidentified
Oh, man.
He's going to call Putin by name, saying that he underestimated NATO.
He's going to rally these allies around sanctions again.
And willing to lay out this theme of democracy versus autocracy.
He's got to do this delicate dance, though, of winning that war in Europe.
They can get related to where he's going.
Let's go, Brandon.
Let's go, Brandon.
Do what we say.
Let's go, Brandon.
Let's go, Brandon.

benny johnson
Here we go.
Ladies and gentlemen.
Let's go, Brandon.
Let's go, Brandon.
Did you hear that?
I played my Let's Go Brandon song.

Salty, salty, salt.
benny johnson
Where's his mask?
That's right.
unidentified
Oh, there you go.
benny johnson
Nancy Pelosi.
Don't rip it yet!
Don't rip it up!
unidentified
Don't do it!
Please!
Members of Congress, I have the high privilege I have the high privilege and distinct honor of presenting to you the President of the United States.
Thank you.
We'll do a lot.
Classic.
A classic.
Oh, look at the voice of it.
Thank you.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
benny johnson

What are you clapping for?
Thank you all very much.
Clown world.
benny johnson
Clown.
unidentified
Clown world.
Thank you.
benny johnson
Rip it up, Pelosi.
unidentified
Rip it up.
benny johnson

unidentified
Thank you all very, very much.
joe biden
Thank you.
unidentified
Thank you all very, very much.
joe biden
Thank you so much.
benny johnson
Turn the cameras around.
joe biden
Please.
benny johnson
Let me see which Republicans are clapping.
joe biden
Madam Speaker, thank you so much.
Madam Vice President and our First Lady and Second Gentleman.
Madam Speaker, Madam Vice President and our First Lady and Second Gentleman.
Members of Congress and the Cabinet, last year, COVID-19 kept us apart.
This year, COVID-19 kept us apart.
benny johnson
This year, COVID-19 kept us apart.
joe biden
This year, we're finally together again.
Tonight, tonight, we meet as Democrats, Republicans, and Independents.
Tonight we meet as Democrats, Republicans, and independents.
But most importantly, as Americans.
With the duty to one another, to the American people, to the Constitution, to the American people, to the Constitution.
unidentified
Good ol' Sam, ladies and gentlemen.
joe biden
Trust me, he's the best.
benny johnson
You wouldn't believe what this one-man show can do.
joe biden
Six...
unidentified
Thank you.
All right.
Well, well, well.
What are Republicans being clapping?
joe biden
Six days ago, Russia's Vladimir Putin sought to shake the very foundations of the free world, thinking he could make it bend to his menace Oh wow, this fast on Putin, huh?
You didn't even sanction him!
First flub.
or imagine he met the Ukrainian people.
benny johnson
They needed something, ladies and gentlemen.
joe biden
To every Ukrainian, their fearlessness, their courage, their determination literally inspires the world.
Groups of citizens blocking tanks with their bodies.
Everyone from students to retirees to teachers turned soldiers defending their homeland.
And in this struggle, President Zelensky said in his speech to the European Parliament, Light will win over darkness.
The Ukrainian ambassador to the United States is here tonight sitting with the First Lady.
Let each of us, if you're able to stand, stand and send an unmistakable signal to the world to Ukraine.
unidentified
Thank you.
joe biden
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
unidentified
I get it.
benny johnson
Why is our governing body If there was this much patriotism for America, it sure would be nice.
You know, our country is being invaded also.
unidentified
Thank you.
Yes.
joe biden
We, the United States of America, stand with the Ukrainian people.
unidentified
Throughout our history, we've learned this lesson.
joe biden
When dictators...
Do not pay a price for their aggression.
They cause more chaos.
They keep moving.
And the cost, the threats to America and America to the world keeps rising.
That's why the NATO alliance was created to secure peace and stability in Europe after World War II.
The United States is a member along with 29 other nations.
It matters.
American diplomacy matters.
American resolve matters.
Putin's latest attack on Ukraine was premeditated and totally unprovoked.
He rejected repeated efforts at diplomacy.
He thought the West and NATO wouldn't respond.
He thought he could divide us at home, in this chamber, in this nation.
He thought he could divide us in Europe as well.
But Putin was wrong.
We are ready.
We are united, and that's what we did.
We stayed united.
We prepared extensively and carefully.
We spent months building coalitions of other freedom-loving nations in Europe and from America to the Asian and African continents to confront Putin.
Like many of you, I spent countless hours unifying our European allies.
We shared with the world in advance what we knew Putin was planning.
And precisely how we would try to falsify and justify his aggression.
benny johnson
Falsify?
joe biden
We countered Russia's lies with the truth.
And now, now that he's acted, the free world is holding him accountable, along with 27 members of the European Union, including France, Germany, Italy, as well as countries like the United Kingdom, Canada, Japan, Korea, Australia, New Zealand, and many others, even Switzerland, are inflicting pain on Russia and supporting the people of Ukraine.
Putin is now isolated from the world more than he has ever been.
Together.
unidentified
You gave Vladimir Putin no string to pipeline.
You shut down the sea from the pipeline, making us more dependent on Vladimir Putin.
What the hell does this have to be with our state union?
You have made our state union unsafe.
joe biden
Together, along with our allies, We're cutting off Russia's largest banks in the international financial system, preventing Russia's central bank from defending the Russell ruble, making Putin's $630 billion war fund worthless.
We're choking Russia's access.
We're choking Russia's access to technology that will sap its economic strength and weaken its military for years to come.
I say to the Russian oligarchs and the corrupt leaders who built billions of dollars off this violent regime, no more.
The United States...
unidentified
I mean it.
joe biden
The United States Department of Justice is assembling a dedicated task force to go after the crimes of the Russian oligarchs.
We're joining with European allies to find and seize their yachts, their luxury apartments, their private jets.
We're coming for you, ill-begotten gains.
And tonight, I'm announcing that we will join our allies in closing off American airspace to all Russian flights, further isolating Russia, and adding additional squeeze on their economy.
unidentified
What about our country?
Just a question.
What about America?
joe biden
He has no idea what's coming.
The ruble has already lost 30% of its value.
The Russian stock market has lost 40% of its value.
And trading remains suspended.
The Russian economy is reeling, and Putin alone is the one to blame.
Together with our allies, we're providing support to the Ukrainians in their fight for freedom.
Military assistance.
Economic assistance, humanitarian assistance.
We're giving more than a billion dollars of direct assistance to Ukraine and will continue to aid Ukrainian people as they defend their country and help ease their suffering.
benny johnson
Again, ladies and gentlemen, I'm totally for the easing of suffering for Ukraine, but can somebody let me know exactly what that has to do with our nation?
This is the state of our union.
joe biden
Our forces are not going to Europe to fight Ukraine, but to defend our NATO allies in the event that Putin decides to keep moving west.
For that purpose, we have mobilized American ground forces, air squadrons, ship deployments to protect NATO countries, including Poland, Romania, Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia.
And as I've made crystal clear...
The United States and our allies will defend every inch of territory that is NATO territory with the full force of our collective power.
unidentified
Every single inch.
And we're clear-eyed.
joe biden
Ukrainians are fighting back with pure courage.
But the next few days, weeks, and months will be hard on them.
Putin has unleashed violence and chaos.
But while he may make gains on the battlefield, he'll pay a continuing high price over the long run.
And a pound of Ukrainian people, proud, proud people, pound for pound, ready to fight with every inch of energy they have.
They've known 30 years of independence, have repeatedly shown that they will not tolerate anyone who tries to take their country backwards.
To all Americans.
I'll be honest with you, as I always promised I would be.
A Russian dictator invading a foreign country has cost around the world.
And I'm taking robust action to make sure the pain of our sanctions is targeted at a Russian economy, and that we use every tool at our disposal to protect American businesses and consumers.
I can announce the United States has worked with 30 other countries to release 60 million barrels of oil from reserves around the world.
America will lead that effort.
benny johnson
You killed the Eastern XL pipeline.
You gave Russia a pipeline, you jackwad.
joe biden
We stand ready to do more if necessary.
Unite it with our allies.
These steps will help blunt gas prices here at home.
But I know news about what's happening can seem alarming to all Americans.
But I want you to know we're going to be okay.
We're going to be okay.
When the history of this era is written, Putin's war on Ukraine will have left Russia weaker and the rest of the world stronger.
benny johnson
Here comes the whisper, folks.
Yes, here comes the whispers.
unidentified
I promise you.
joe biden
We shouldn't have taken something so terrible for people around the world to see what's at stake.
Now everyone sees it clearly.
We see the unity among leaders of nations, a more unified Europe, a more unified West.
We see unity among the people who are gathering in cities and large crowds around the world, even in Russia, to demonstrate their support for the people of Ukraine.
In the battle between democracy and autocracies, We stand with you.
Putin may circle Kyiv with tanks, but he'll never gain the hearts and souls of the Iranian people.
He'll never extinguish their love of freedom, and he will never, never weaken the resolve of the free world.
unidentified
Unbelievable.
benny johnson
Not a mask in sight.
unidentified
Wow.
benny johnson
Struggling on the delivery.
Joe Biden, at least four or five different flubs already.
joe biden
Two of the hardest years this nation has ever faced.
The pandemic has been punishing.
benny johnson
Oh, are we going to talk about America?
joe biden
Living paycheck to paycheck, struggling to keep up with the rising cost of food, gas, housing, and so much more.
benny johnson
Oh, we're going to talk about America finally.
That was good.
joe biden
My dad had to leave his home in Scranton, Pennsylvania to find work.
So like many of you, I grew up in a family.
When the price of food went up, it was felt throughout the family.
It had an impact.
That's when one of the first things I did as president was fight to pass the American Rescue Plan.
Because people were hurting, we needed to act, and we did.
A few pieces of legislation have done more at a critical moment in our history to lift us out of a crisis.
It fueled our efforts to vaccinate the nation and combat COVID-19.
It delivered immediate economic relief to tens of millions of Americans.
It helped put food on the table.
Remember those Why does he keep telling this story?
Let's go, Brandon.
Just a little bit of breathing room.
Unlike the $2 trillion tax cut passed in the previous administration that benefited the top 1% of Americans, the American Liar!
The American Rescue Plan helped working people and left no one behind.
benny johnson
Oh, what a clown show.
Ladies and gentlemen, this is going really bad.
All right?
I didn't know it would be such a clown show.
This is going really bad.
unidentified
Thank you.
Oh, my gosh.
benny johnson
Have you ever seen teeth that fake?
Look at that.
Look at that.
joe biden
We created jobs, lots of jobs.
In fact, our economy created over 6.5 million new jobs just last year.
More jobs in one year than ever before in the history of the United States of America.
benny johnson
He didn't create a job if it's a job that got shut down and came back.
joe biden
Is he going to cry?
benny johnson
Man, Mitch looks rough, dude.
Oh my goodness.
joe biden
Mitch looks rough.
lower wages, bigger deficits, and a widening gap between the top and everyone else in nearly a century.
Vice President Harris and I ran for office.
What trash.
Joe Biden always hated Reagan because Reagan clowned him.
Why?
Because we know.
benny johnson
Just a reminder, by the way, Joe Biden refused to help Ukrainians when they asked for military aid.
joe biden
Because we know when the middle class grows, the poor will weigh up and the wealthy do very well.
America used to have the best roads, bridges, and airports on Earth.
And now our infrastructure is ranked 13th in the world.
We won't be able to compete for the jobs of the 21st century if we don't fix it.
That's why it was so important to pass the bipartisan infrastructure.
benny johnson
Is he trying to throw a mustache?
unidentified
What is this luck?
The single biggest investment in history.
joe biden
It was a bipartisan effort, and I want to thank the members of both parties who worked to make it happen.
We're done talking about infrastructure weeks.
We're now talking about an infrastructure decade.
And look, it's going to-- it's going to transform America.
To put us on a path to win the economic competition of the 21st century that we face with the rest of the world, particularly China.
I've told Xi Jinping it's never been a good bet to bet against the American people.
We'll create good jobs for millions of Americans modernizing roads, airports, ports, waterways all across America.
And we'll do it to withstand the devastating effects of climate change and promote environmental justice.
We'll build a national network of 500,000 electric vehicle charging stations.
benny johnson
You're killing the middle class.
You're inflating our dollar.
You're making our savings worthless.
You're tanking our economy and everyone knows it.
Dementia Joe.
Look at all these people.
Dead men walking because they're all retiring or resigning or going to get beat.
31 retirements for Democrats this year alone.
joe biden
And that number is going to go up.
benny johnson
31 retirements.
joe biden
and 1,500 bridges in disrepair.
benny johnson
Look at Pelosi.
unidentified
Folks!
benny johnson
Is Kamala literally trying to blend in with the background?
What is this Kamala suit?
She's wearing a suit that's the exact same color as the chair she's sitting in.
joe biden
We're going to do it by buying America.
unidentified
Buy American products.
joe biden
Support American jobs.
The federal government spends about $600 billion a year to keep this country safe and secure.
benny johnson
Why is he snatching the floor?
joe biden
He smiled.
There's been a law on the books for almost a century to make sure taxpayers'dollars support American jobs and businesses.
benny johnson
Okay, this is the creepiest State of the Union ever.
joe biden
Look at this.
benny johnson
Look at Nancy Pelosi.
She looks like a vampire.
joe biden
I've literally seen characters in the haunted mansion at Disney World that were more lifelike than Nancy Pelosi.
unidentified
But folks, wow.
benny johnson
Wow, all these people clapping for taking more of our tax dollars.
joe biden
Way to go.
I've got a drink.
Let me give you one example.
benny johnson
She is a vampire.
That's right.
Obama's third term right now.
Reading some comments.
Because nobody really cares what's happening with king and queen Botox on the screen right now.
joe biden
That's where Intel, the American company that helped build Silicon Valley, is going to build a $20 billion semiconductor mega site, up to eight state-of-the-art factories in one place.
Den of thieves, that's right.
benny johnson
I saw that comment.
Den of thieves.
joe biden
These people are thieves.
benny johnson
Incredible.
This is the most sophisticated robbery in the entire world, what these people do to you every single day.
Have you checked your price of gas recently?
All this happy horse crap about how good America's doing in the economy.
Have you checked your price of gas?
What does it cost you to go to the grocery store and buy, like, your kid milk?
What does it cost?
joe biden
There you go, Pat.
unidentified
Stand up.
benny johnson
Every single person here is wearing a Ukraine pin, and not a single person here is talking about how to lower your energy costs, lower the inflation in this country.
joe biden
Pat came to see me, and he told me they're ready to increase their investment from $20 billion to $100 billion.
benny johnson
We've been sold out.
Ooh, got a shot of Joe's bald spot there for a second.
joe biden
Send it to my desk.
I'll sign it.
And we'll really take off in a big way.
benny johnson
Oh, oil just hit $110 a barrel.
Great job, Joe.
Way to go, Brandon.
joe biden
The rebirth of pride that comes from stamping products made in America.
The revitalization of American manufacturing.
Companies are choosing to build new factories here, when just a few years ago they would have gone Drink.
benny johnson
Joe Biden said the word flactory.
joe biden
What's on Pelosi's desk?
Oh, my goodness.
unidentified
Look at this.
joe biden
Oh, man.

unidentified
Oh, yeah.
joe biden
Good job.
benny johnson
That's Joe Biden's economic advisor that you showed there.
joe biden
Where are you, Jojo?
There you go.
Thanks, buddy.
As Ohio Senator Sherrod Brown says...
benny johnson
I like his Jesus piece.
It's a nice big old chain.
joe biden
It's time to bury the label Rust Belt.
It's time to see what used to be called Rust Belt become the home of significant...
Resurgence of manufacturing.
unidentified
And with all the bright spots in our economy...
That's how to say the Rush Belt become my belt.
benny johnson
I can wear it.
unidentified
Especially when I need it for my depends.
I need a belt.
benny johnson
Right now!
Hurry!
joe biden
Whispering Angels!
Nancy, help!
unidentified
It'd be nice to see the Rust Belt become a belt belt.
benny johnson
What if a Rust Belt, I could wear it.
unidentified
We could make the Rust Belt a thing.
joe biden
We could sell it to the Ukrainians.
unidentified
They could use it to hold up the Russian advance with their Rust Belt.
joe biden
Nancy, get on that!
Sure.
Look at cars last year.
Look at cars.
benny johnson
Oh, they're social distancing.
Look at that.
Look at Rosa DeLauro with her purple hair.
Rosa DeLauro, Congresswoman from Connecticut.
She's so weird.
joe biden
She's got purple hair.
benny johnson
She's always been a freak.
joe biden
I think I have a better idea to fight inflation.
Lower your costs, not your wages.
unidentified
No Republicans clapping.
benny johnson
Good.
Sit down.
Oh, that's Joe Manchin.
You get a pass.
What is on Nancy's desk?
joe biden
What is that?
benny johnson
What's in front of Nancy?
joe biden
Is that perfume?
Is that a jewelry box?
benny johnson
Nancy, what you got there?
What you got?
What kind of vampire embalming fluid is that?
Is that Nancy's embalming fluid?
You can tell us, Nancy.
We get it.
unidentified
The arc of the cockpit.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.
benny johnson
Come on, everyone, let me know in the comments what is in front of Nancy.
What is that thing?
joe biden
What is it?
benny johnson
What is that thing?
joe biden
Oh.
benny johnson
Building a better America.
So they must have given up Build Back Better.
Ah, too bad.
unidentified
My plan will ease long-term inflationary pressures.
joe biden
Top business leaders, and I believe most Americans support the plan.
Here's the plan.
First, cut the cost of prescription drugs.
unidentified
We pay more.
Have you ever seen two people struggle more with their dangers?
benny johnson
Back-to-back.
Nancy and Joe.
Holy cannoli.
joe biden
I met a 13 year old boy, the handsome young man standing up there, Joshua Davis.
benny johnson
Okay, it's not Macaulay Culkin.
joe biden
He and his dad both have type one diabetes.
You made insulin more expensive!
unidentified
Guys...
benny johnson
You gotta know this.
joe biden
Joe Biden rolled back.
benny johnson
Rolled back Donald Trump's order to make insulin like 25 bucks.
He rolled that back so that he could package it inside of extremist, left-wing, I think it was the Build Back Better bill, so he could get the Green New Deal by saying it's just to lower insulin prices.
This is how evil these people are.
These people are satanic.
A lot of people, a lot of very interesting comments on what may be in Nancy Pelosi's special embalming fluid kit.
joe biden
Look at that.
benny johnson
Is it Pete Buttigieg?
Is that Pete Buttigieg?
Very good.
He's the Secretary of Transportation.
Right there on your screen.
Trump lowered the insulin.
unidentified
Guys, this is such insanity.
benny johnson
Trump lowered the insulin prices.
unidentified
Prescription jugs?
joe biden
They already set the price for VA drugs.
Look, the American Rescue Plan is helping millions of families with Affordable Care Act plans to save them $2,400 a year on their health premiums.
Let's close the coverage gap.
Prescription jugs!
unidentified
Good job, Joe.
benny johnson
Did Hunter Biden write this speech?
joe biden
Let's cut energy costs for families.
Look at Pelosi.
benny johnson
Pelosi's like...
joe biden
Exactly.
benny johnson
How far along are we in this speech?
unidentified
I have a coffin to hang upside down inside of in my office.
joe biden
Oh, there we go.
benny johnson
There you go.
Yawn.
Come on, yawn.
I know you want to yawn.
Yawn!
Oh, they put her up in the gallery.
They put her up.
She didn't get us on the floor.
joe biden
Look at Pelosi.
benny johnson
Pelosi's so worried exactly how long this thing's going to go.
It's been 40 minutes so far.
joe biden
If you live in a major city in America, you'd pay up to $14,000 a year for childcare per child.
I was a single dad for five years, raising two kids.
I had a lot of help, though.
I had a mom, a dad, a brother, and a sister that really helped.
But middle class and working folks shouldn't have to pay more than 7% of their income to care for the young children.
My plan...
My plan would cut the cost of child care in half for most families.
unidentified
Spend, spend, spend, spend, spend, spend, spend, spend, spend, spend, spend, spend, spend, spend, spend, spend, spend, spend, spend, spend, spend, spend, spend, spend.
benny johnson
Spend more of your money.
joe biden
Because they couldn't afford child care.
I hate stories like this, like he was a truck driver, yeah.
unidentified
This is work that I thought.
benny johnson
Yes, that's right.
joe biden
Under my plan, nobody...
Let me say this again.
benny johnson
There's horse piss in front of Nancy?
joe biden
What?
Oh, yeah.
Here we go.
unidentified
Oh, here comes the Nancy Pelosi comment to Kamala.
joe biden
I may be wrong, but my guess is if we took a secret ballot in this floor, that we'd all agree that the present tax system ain't fair.
unidentified
It ain't fair.
benny johnson
Why don't you pay your fair share?
How about the 10% for the big guy?
How about that?
What did you pay?
How much taxes did you pay on that?
How about your investments in China, Nancy?
joe biden
Chris Coons and Tom Carper and my distinguished congresswoman, we come.
My distinguished congresswoman.
There are more corporations incorporated in America than every other state in America combined.
And I still won 36 years in a row.
The point is, even they understand you should pay just a fair share.
Come on, man.
unidentified
Je faire cher.
joe biden
I was in profit and paid zero in federal taxes.
Now look.
It's not fair.
That's why I proposed the 15% minimum tax rate for corporations.
unidentified
Ladies and gentlemen, I've got to break out the emergency reserves here.
I'm breaking out the emergency reserves for this live.
benny johnson
This requires...
joe biden
This is worse than I thought.
benny johnson
This is way worse than I thought.
joe biden
That's why I propose closing loopholes for the very wealthy who pay a lower tax rate than a teacher and a firefighter.
So that's my plan, but we'll go in more detail later.
I'm going to grow.
We will grow the economy.
benny johnson
Sharing is caring.
joe biden
Lower the cost of families.
benny johnson
Cheers.
joe biden
So what are we waiting for?
benny johnson
Republican beer.
The Coors family.
joe biden
Republicans.
benny johnson
Republican beers.
joe biden
Folks.
benny johnson
Hear me.
Hear you out.
Tony Colon.
Good Lord, the Joker, make it stop.
joe biden
...which plays a critical role in fighting inflation.
My plan will not only lower costs and give families a fair shot, it will lower the deficit.
The previous administration not only ballooned the deficit with those tax cuts for the very wealthy corporations, it undermined the watchdogs.
The job of those pandemic relief funds being wasted.
Remember we had those debates about whether or not those watchdogs should be able to see every day how much money was being spent, where was it going to the right place?
benny johnson
This beer is for Nancy Pelosi's plastic surgeon.
Dude, you have the toughest job in the world.
joe biden
The criminals who stole billions of relief money meant for small business in millions of Americans.
benny johnson
This scumbag, this is the scumbag that says that you parents standing up at your school boards are domestic terrorists.
This scumbag, this guy, this piece of trash, Merrick Garland, what an asshat this guy is.
joe biden
Impeach him.
Impeach.
The only president ever to cut the deficit by more than $1 trillion in a single year.
Lowering your cost also meant demanding more competition.
I'm a capitalist, but capitalism without competition is not capitalism.
Capitalism without competition is exploitation.
benny johnson
Listen to this jackass talk about capitalism like he's ever created a job.
This guy has never created a single job.
He's never made a single product on the open market.
This guy's never done a single thing.
He's only ever been a parasite stealing your money.
joe biden
Whoa.
benny johnson
Why did they let a turtle in Congress?
Everyone, a giant, endangered Galapagos tortoise has escaped.
joe biden
You play with them, but you don't get to play at all.
And you pay a hell of a lot more.
A hell of a lot more because there's only four.
benny johnson
Someone get them back to the zoo.
Oh, Nancy's chatting again.
Chatting again.
It's the hair salon.
joe biden
About half a dozen or less foreign-owned companies raised prices by as much as 1,000% and made record profits.
Tonight, I'm announcing a crackdown on those companies overcharging American businesses and consumers.
Folks.
benny johnson
I need a vomit bag.
That's right.
Traitor.
He's full of poop emoji.
joe biden
This is what evil looks like.
benny johnson
B.S. I'm sick.
I can't stand it.
O.M.G.
Nancy's smug, stupid face.
Hey, she paid a lot of money for that face.
No, Joe, your kindness.
Oh, here's Senator Whitehouse, who runs an all-white country club.
Did you know this?
joe biden
Look it up.
benny johnson
And remember, Black Lives Matter.
But Senator Whitehouse from Rhode Island is a member of an all-white country club.
joe biden
This is not a joke, by the way.
benny johnson
He was just on screen with purple glasses.
joe biden
Let's pass the Paycheck Fairness Act and pay leave.
Raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour.
benny johnson
Well, the dollars are worth nothing anymore, so you can raise the minimum wage.
You already raised the minimum wage because of inflation.
Even Susan Collins, who's like...
Susan Collins is essentially a liberal...
She's essentially like a blue dog Democrat.
She's just like...
unidentified
What the hell is going on?
joe biden
Jill.
benny johnson
Why am I clapping?
Loud noises!
joe biden
I love lamp!
benny johnson
Jill over here.
Popping Xanax.
joe biden
That doesn't even count.
Close to a million people who sit at a dining room table or a kitchen table and look at an empty chair.
Because they lost somebody.
benny johnson
Oh, here comes the...
joe biden
But I also know this.
Because of the progress we've made, because of your resilience...
benny johnson
Yes, Elizabeth Warren thinking about her next $4 million book deal.
Very troubling.
joe biden
I can say we're moving forward safely.
Back to more normal routines.
We've reached a new moment in the fight against COVID-19.
benny johnson
A more normal routine.
Where we all wear...
Our rust belt.
Every family needs a rust belt.
joe biden
The Center for Disease Control and Prevention issued a new mask guidelines.
Under the new guidelines, most Americans and most of the country can now go mask-free.
And based on projections...
benny johnson
We're not going to forget, you sons of bitches!
Ooh, Marjorie, there we go.
joe biden
Thanks to the progress we've made in the past year, COVID-19 no longer need control our lives.
I know some are talking about living with COVID-19.
But tonight, I say that we never will just accept living with COVID-19.
We'll continue to combat the virus as we do other diseases.
And because this virus mutates and spreads, we have to stay on guard.
And here are four common-sense steps.
unidentified
This is Xavier Becerra.
Joe Biden called him Xavier Baccaria when he was announcing his nomination.
joe biden
Clown.
unidentified
Clown world.
benny johnson
Honk, honk.
Honk, honk, honk.
joe biden
We'll never give up on vaccinating more Americans.
Now I know parents with kids under five are eager to see their vaccines authorized for their children.
are working on world that done will be ready with plenty of vaccines if and when they do we're all ready we are also ready with antiviral treatments if you get coven 19 the pfizer pill reduces your chances of ending up in the hospital by 90 percent I bet you have more pills than anyone in the world has.
unidentified
I bet you have more pills than anyone in the world has.
joe biden
million pills this month and more than double that next month.
And now we're launching the test to treat initiative.
So people can get tested at a pharmacy and if they prove positive, receive the antiviral pills on the spot at no cost.
benny johnson
I'm just rewatching that clip.
Steve Scalise is like cracking up.
What is this with Jerry Nadler?
Dude, Jerry Nadler.
Man, holy smokes.
Jerry Nadler looks rough, man.
joe biden
Dude, Jerry Nadler, you gotta retire, bro.
What's in front of Pelosi?
What is that?
Is that some type of Harry Potter thing?
Is she in Slytherin?
benny johnson
Is that Pelosi's sorting hat?
What's going on?
joe biden
Yeah, you're exactly right.
Madison.
benny johnson
Madison wants a Madison.
My boy!
It's my boy, Madison.
What's he got?
What's his hand in his pocket for?
joe biden
We've got to ask him that.
benny johnson
Lauren Boebert coming on as soon as we're done.
Lauren Boebert's going to be coming on our show.
Stay tuned after this giant heap of...
Dino poo.
The only thing I can think of is Jeff Goldblum in Jurassic Park, remember?
That's one giant pile of poo.
Look at these dentures.
Have you ever seen so many dentures?
joe biden
It's time for America to get back to work and fill our great downtowns again.
benny johnson
Denture companies, man.
joe biden
You should sponsor this stuff.
Look at this guy.
Look at this guy, dude.
What a frumpy-looking suit.
Once again, work in person.
Our schools are open.
benny johnson
Let's keep it that way.
joe biden
We gotta park.
Kids need to be in school.
benny johnson
Pelosi, look at the people.
unidentified
Look at this.
What is she doing?
I'm not quite sure why they're standing.
benny johnson
Why are we clapping?
joe biden
75% of adult Americans fully vaccinated in hospitalizations down by 77% Americans can remove their masks and stay in the classroom and move forward safely.
We achieve this because we've provided free vaccines, treatments, tests, and masks.
benny johnson
I am not sponsored by Coors Light, ladies and gentlemen.
Many people are asking.
No, I'm not.
joe biden
I'm going to soon send a request to Congress.
The vast majority of Americans have used these tools.
benny johnson
She's from Iowa, my home state.
joe biden
Such a disappointment.
We'll continue vaccinating the world.
We've sent 475 million vaccine doses to 112 countries.
benny johnson
Thanks for the comic relief.
You're welcome, Pamela.
joe biden
We won't stop.
unidentified
We paid for those dentures, that's right.
benny johnson
I'm reading these comments here.
joe biden
Okay, here we go.
That lady looks dead.
benny johnson
Well, I'm not sure who you're talking about.
You're going to have to narrow that one down.
Who did they let in?
Are you talking about the border?
Well, just about everyone.
This is just gross, says Lisa.
joe biden
So stop looking at COVID as a partisan dividing line.
benny johnson
Interesting.
Oh, look at this!
unidentified
Oh, my God!
Oh, my God!
benny johnson
Ladies and gentlemen, why you should have term limits on your screen right now.
The Muppets.
Muppets.
I can hear Sam cracking beers.
Producer Sam is cracking beers.
Ladies and gentlemen, even producer Sam can't take it anymore.
And you can hear him popping Coronas over there.
joe biden
Sam's drinking Corona because he's vaccinated.
Producer Sam.
Sam Gorski.
The best in business.
Officer Moore was 27 years old.
benny johnson
All right, here's Tim Scott.
Tim Scott from South Carolina.
I like Tim Scott.
I don't know.
Ben Sasse.
joe biden
Total goofball, Ben Sasse.
benny johnson
Very disappointing, Ben Sasse.
Shut the hell up.
joe biden
The President: We are in debt for their sacrifices, and we'll carry on their mission to restore the trust and safety This is truly, truly a Muppet show.
benny johnson
This is the Muppet show.
It's the Muppets, ladies and gentlemen.
This is the Muppets.
joe biden
Sock puppets.
I know what works.
Investigating crime prevention in community policing.
You're a terrorist!
unidentified
You, mom and dad, you're terrorists!
You don't want your kids to learn that they're racists?
joe biden
They're four years old.
Of course they're raising.
Hold on.
benny johnson
More Muppets.
unidentified
My son got millions of dollars from a Ukrainian gas company.
joe biden
that you all provided $350 billion that cities, states, and counties can use to hire more police and veterans.
unidentified
I got you elected by supporting you in South Carolina.
benny johnson
Now half my family works for your administration.
unidentified
Ha ha ha ha ha.
benny johnson
Here's a Nancy Pelosi muppet.
This is my Muppet for Nancy Pelosi.
joe biden
We should all agree the answer is not to defund the police.
unidentified
Ha ha ha.
benny johnson
We have too much fun.
Ah, they got the Republicans to stand on this one.
It must have been a good line.
unidentified
What was it?
joe biden
Fund them with resources and training.
Resources and training they need to protect our communities.
I ask Democrats and Republicans alike to pass my budget and keep our neighborhoods safe.
And we'll do everything in my power to crack down on gun trafficking of ghost guns.
unidentified
Thank you.
joe biden
You can buy online, assemble at home.
benny johnson
Somebody said the best part tonight is watching your broadcast.
joe biden
I appreciate that.
benny johnson
And I'm now almost two beers in.
We're going to need a lot more.
Who claps like that?
What's wrong with you?
Why are you clapping like that?
Where did you learn to clap?
Did you learn to clap at SeaWorld?
These people are zombies.
These people are zombie muppets.
They're muppets.
joe biden
Look, repeal the liability shield that makes gun manufacturers the only industry in America that can't be sued.
benny johnson
Red wave.
Red wave, ladies and gentlemen.
joe biden
Imagine had we done that with the tobacco manufacturers.
These laws don't infringe on the Second Amendment.
They save lives.
benny johnson
Oh, Lauren, it's my girl.
joe biden
The most fundamental right in America is the right to vote.
benny johnson
She's tweeting.
joe biden
And have it counted.
benny johnson
My girl Lauren is tweeting, though.
Lauren Boebert coming on with us as soon as we're done here.
joe biden
Not only suppress the vote, we've been there before, but to subvert the entire election.
We can't let this happen.
benny johnson
Got it.
joe biden
Tonight I call on the Senate to pass.
Pass the Freedom to Vote Act.
benny johnson
It's already dead, you moron.
I'm three ones in.
Bro, I'm having a cocktail.
The entire chat now is getting lit up by people saying what they're drinking in order to watch this.
Oh, man.
We gotta protect the Second Amendment like hell, ladies and gentlemen.
joe biden
Thank you for your service.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
unidentified
We mean it.
joe biden
Get up.
Stand up and see you.
Thank you.
benny johnson
Yeah, trust me, they wouldn't be doing this for Clarence Thomas.
joe biden
We all know.
unidentified
Yeah, right.
Thank you for your consistent live vote is what they're saying.
joe biden
The most serious constitutional responsibility a president has is nominating someone to serve on the United States Supreme Court.
As I did four days ago, I've nominated the Circuit Court of Appeals, Katanji Brown Jackson.
benny johnson
Oh, he got the name right this time.
He forgot her name at the press conference yesterday.
joe biden
We'll continue in Justice Breyer's legacy of excellence.
A former top litigator in private practice.
a former federal public defender, from a family of public school educators and police officers.
She's a consensus builder.
Since she's been nominated, she's received a broad range of support, including the fraternal order of police and former judges supported by Democrats and Republicans.
Folks, if we are to advance liberty and justice, we need to secure our border and fix the immigration system.
unidentified
Oh.
Oh, no, you didn't.
Oh, wait a second.
We need to secure our border, Joe Biden says?
joe biden
And as you might guess, I think we can do both.
benny johnson
Oh, there was a Build the Wall chant.
joe biden
Build the Wall chant.
benny johnson
I heard it.
joe biden
To better detect drug smuggling.
benny johnson
Dude, seriously.
No, I mean, yes.
That's exactly right.
joe biden
We're putting in place dedicated immigration judges in a significant larger number so families fleeing persecution and violence can have their...
benny johnson
Let's go, Brandon.
This is the let's go, Brandon moment.
joe biden
Unbelievable.
We're securing commitments and supporting partners in South and Central America to host more refugees and secure their own borders.
We can do all this while keeping lit the torch of liberty that has led the generation of immigrants to this land.
benny johnson
What a sicko.
joe biden
What a complete and total dementia patient.
unidentified
This guy has the audacity to say we need to secure our borders.
joe biden
So businesses have workers they need.
And families don't wait decades to reunite.
It's not only the right thing to do, it's economically smart thing to do.
That's why the immigration reform is supported by everyone from labor unions, the religious leaders, to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.
Let's get it done once and for all.
benny johnson
But I feel like the Chamber of Commerce is some type of, like, right-wing think tank.
The Chamber of Commerce is completely shot through by leftist radicals.
joe biden
Advancing liberty and justice also requires protecting the rights of women.
benny johnson
That's how old Joe Biden is.
joe biden
Constance of the right affirmed by Roe v.
Wade, standing precedent for half a century is under attack as never before.
If you want to go forward, not backwards, we must protect access to health care.
benny johnson
Why all these shots on Susan Collins?
unidentified
I don't get this.
benny johnson
This is like the fourth time they've gone in on Susan Collins.
unidentified
What are they planning here?
joe biden
And folks, for our LGBTQ+ Americans, Let's finally get the Bipartisan Equality Act to my desk.
The onslaught of state law is targeting transgender Americans and their families.
It's simply wrong.
I said last year, especially to our younger transgender Americans, I'll always have your back as your president so you can be yourself and reach your God-given potential.
unidentified
transplendent Americans need a right to a Rust Belt.
joe biden
As I've just demonstrated, what will often appear is we do not agree.
And that we do agree on a lot more things Dude, they know they're losing so bad.
benny johnson
They know they're losing.
They know this is it.
They're done.
They know they're losing.
And thank you, by the way.
Thank you for the stars.
Thank you for the super chats.
joe biden
I really deeply appreciate it.
We're going on.
We're putting on...
unidentified
Oh, my.
benny johnson
Look at all those comments, son.
unidentified
A lot of comments.
joe biden
Four big things we can do together, in my view.
First...
benny johnson
The opioid epidemic is happening because we won't secure our border.
I went to Arizona and saw Trump's wall sitting in the desert rotting.
joe biden
Get rid of outdated rules and stop doctors prescribing treatments.
Stop the flow of illicit drugs by working with state and local law enforcement to go after the traffickers.
How about building the wall?
benny johnson
Asshat.
joe biden
You know, you should know you're not alone.
I believe in recovery and I celebrate the 23 million, 23 million Americans in recovery.
benny johnson
Is he going to hand out fentanyl?
joe biden
Second.
benny johnson
He's going to hand out fentanyl, free fentanyl pipes?
joe biden
Let's take our mental health, especially among our children whose lives and education have been turned upside down.
Oh, horrible.
This woman should have lost in Michigan.
benny johnson
John James, what were you doing, dude?
joe biden
This is the Titanic.
benny johnson
One of the commenters.
I didn't catch the name.
This is like the Titanic.
This is exactly right.
joe biden
Ah, yes.
benny johnson
Bullying.
Our biggest problem today.
joe biden
As Francis Haugen, who is here tonight with us, has shown we must hold social media platforms accountable for the national experiment they're conducting on our children for profit.
unidentified
Thank you.
benny johnson
Oh, no!
You brought in the Facebook whistleblower?
Oh, come on!
Oh, this is embarrassing.
joe biden
Thank you for the courage you showed.
benny johnson
Do you know she works with Jen Psaki's old PR firm?
Do you want to know why she's there?
joe biden
Jen Psaki's old PR firm.
benny johnson
Totally running this op.
joe biden
That lady's an op.
No, no.
benny johnson
That lady's an op.
joe biden
This is what evil looks like.
What a joke.
benny johnson
By the way, no one gives a damn about Francis Howell.
Nobody's even said that woman's name in like 10 months.
Oh, Pelosi almost fell down.
joe biden
Too much involving fluid.
benny johnson
Ah, okay.
joe biden
We have a sacred obligation to equip those we send to war and care for those in their family when they come home.
benny johnson
Is that why you looked at your watch multiple times during the dignified transfer of the 13 soldiers that you killed?
Blood on your hands.
joe biden
Yes.
Breathing in toxic smoke.
What is wrong with Nancy Pelosi?
unidentified
What is this?
benny johnson
What the hell is going on?
joe biden
Did you just see that?
benny johnson
What the hell is happening with her?
joe biden
These burn pits that incinerate waste, the waste of war, medical and hazards material, jet fuel, and so much more.
benny johnson
Wait, what's going on with Nancy?
Look at her hands.
joe biden
What the hell is going on with Nancy Pelosi?
benny johnson
No joke.
joe biden
What's happening?
A flag-draped car?
There we go.
unidentified
Yes!
joe biden
One of those soldiers was my son, Major Boba.
benny johnson
Yes!
joe biden
I don't know for sure if the burn pit that he lived near, that his hooch was near, in Iraq and...
benny johnson
That was...
I swear.
Okay.
That was Lauren Boebert.
That was Lauren Boebert saying, what about the 13 Americans that you killed?
unidentified
That's right.
joe biden
To find out everything we can.
committed to military families like Danielle Robinson from Ohio, the widow of Sergeant First Class Heath Robinson.
He was born a soldier, Army National Guard, combat medic in Kosovo and Iraq.
Stationed near Baghdad, just yards.
benny johnson
That was Lauren Boeber.
joe biden
The size of football fields.
Danielle is here with us tonight.
They love going to Ohio State football games.
unidentified
Thank you.
benny johnson
The conflagration Of Joe Biden, whose son did not die in action and has absolutely no military connection to his death.
We're not saying that it's not tragic, but this conflagration that Joe Biden's son somehow, like, died, was killed in action or wounded in action.
This is some of the most despicable stuff.
We're not saying it's not tragic that Joe Biden's kid, Joe Biden's son, perished.
joe biden
He had brain cancer.
benny johnson
But Joe Biden's son was out of the military for, like, a decade?
Joe Biden's son was a, like, the Attorney General of Delaware?
joe biden
Right?
benny johnson
He was, like, going into the family business?
So it's such an insult for Joe Biden to sit there and say that, like, this is the same thing if your son came back from Afghanistan inside of a flag-draped coffin while I'm looking at my watch during the dignified transfer.
That's the same thing as my kid who died of brain cancer, if I'm remembering this correctly.
Later on, much later in life and long after he had left the military.
joe biden
This is personal.
benny johnson
What a gaslight.
What a gaslight.
unidentified
Thank you.
benny johnson
Hunter Biden was kicked out of the military for smoking crack.
Fact check, true.
joe biden
And so many of you.
So many of you have lost someone you love.
Husband, wife, son, daughter, mom, dad.
Cancer is the number two cause of death in America, second only to heart disease.
Last month, I announced the plan to supercharge the cancer moonshot that President Obama asked me to lead six years ago.
Our goal is to cut cancer death rates by at least 50% over the next 25 years.
I think we can do better than that.
Turn cancers from death sentences into treatable diseases.

Lauren Boebert shouted at Joe Biden about the 13 dead Americans to drive breakthroughs in cancer, Alzheimer's and diabetes, and more.
A unity agenda for the nation.
We can do these things.
It's within our power.
And I don't see a partisan edge to any one of those four things.

My fellow Americans tonight and my mansion right now, I'm Joe Manchin.

We fought for freedom.
benny johnson
Sun-down syndrome.
Here we go.

joe biden
We built the strongest, freest, and most prosperous nation the world has ever known.
Now is the hour.
Our moment of responsibility.
Our test of resolve and conscience.
Of history itself.
It is in this moment that our character of this generation is formed.
Our purpose is found.
Our future is forged.
Well, I know this nation.
We'll meet the test.
benny johnson
Protect freedom and liberty.
joe biden
Expand fairness to opportunity.
And we will save democracy.
As hard as those times have been, I'm more optimistic about America today than I've been my whole life.
I'm more optimistic!
Save the Galapagos Turtles!
Save the Galapagos Turtles!
We're the only nation on earth that has always turned every crisis we've faced into an opportunity.
The only nation that can be defined by a single word, possibilities.
So on this night, on our 245th year as a nation, I've come to report on the state of the nation, the state of the union.
And my report is this.
The state of the union is strong because you, the American people, are strong.
The state of Union is strong!
unidentified
Because you're racist!
We are stronger today than we were a year ago.
benny johnson
This is the optimistic end to this speech.

unidentified
Let's watch.
benny johnson
It's always very creepy.
unidentified
*grunt*
What?
benny johnson
I can't believe...
First off, ladies and gentlemen.
What a clown show.
I have never seen a worse State of the Union speech.
That thing was a disaster.
But it's the ending that I cannot get over.
I cannot get over the ending of that speech.
The inspirational...
The inspirational commentary at the end of the speech...
Oh, God, look at Maxine Waters standing there.

Ladies and gentlemen, I got to tell you, stay tuned.
Lauren Boebert's in touch with our team right now.
Lauren Boebert will be coming on live with us.
We may have to pause for just a moment, but stay on this live feed.
Lauren Boebert coming on with us.
Okay.
We may put up, like, an image to pause.
That doesn't mean the live feed's going away.
That'll be just us getting our boxes ready for a live broadcast with Lauren Boebert for her response to the State of the Union.
Ah, yes.
Oh, yes.
Yes, yes, yes.
Here's Mike Milley.
unidentified
I want to understand about right rage, and I'm white.
benny johnson
That's what he just said to Joe Biden.
unidentified
Maxine Waters is like, find a Trump supporter.
If you find Trump supporters, you get out there and you create a crowd.
You tell them you're not welcome here.
benny johnson
Yeah, party unity, ladies and gentlemen.
Rosa DeLauro, everyone.
Look at that purple hair.
She's such a freak.
I love her.
She's a congresswoman from Connecticut.
She's just so weird.
I kind of love Rosa DeLauro.
I don't know her.
I don't know her.
I met her once.
He's a total weirdo.
Look at that.
Look at the fake hair.
Fake hair!
Joe Biden doesn't have any real hair.
Joe Biden's bald as a bat.
There are photos of him from the 70s where he's just bald as a bat.
Why is Maxine Waters, like, clinging on to Joe Biden like a barnacle at the bottom?
I'm an old wooden ship.
What's going on?
Very strange.
Maybe, maybe, maybe Maxine Waters is Joe Biden's Rust Belt.
Who knows?
Rust Belt.
That is the theme of, that is the theme of the night.
Sorry, gotta go.
Alright, that's okay.
Ladies and gentlemen, we'll be on with Lauren Boebert here momentarily.
unidentified
Thank you.
benny johnson
We are waiting on Lauren Boebert.
We need to take a second there to go ahead and get in contact with her.
And she is on her way, ladies and gentlemen.
So here is Joe Biden.
We're going to sort of like comment on Joe Biden, what we see here from the C-SPAN feed.
I am Benny Johnson.
Thank you for watching the State of the Union with us live.
This is...
A Coors Light.
I am on my third beer of the night.
Drink responsibly, ladies and gentlemen.
But pretty embarrassing.
Embarrassing indeed.
What a absolute garbage pit.
What an absolute garbage pit that all was.
Ah, yes.
So, we had Joe Biden with, like, multiple...
Yes, that's right.
That's right.
Lauren Boebert coming.
Lauren Boebert is on her way.
Ladies and gentlemen, will be on live soon with us.
She has confirmed that she said this to Joe Biden.
You put them in it.
Talking about flag-draped coffins.
Yep, that is the line.
Joe Biden was talking about the flag-draped coffins of American patriots and Lauren Boebert saying, hey, you put those soldiers in those flag-draped coffins.
The 13 American soldiers from Afghanistan.
So here we go.
The president sits there and kind of like kisses.

Everyone's hugging.
Everyone's kissing.
Look at that!
Wow!
COVID over!
Biden's hugging people.
He's kissing people.
Oh, here we go.
Al Green.
Good job.
Here's Al Green asking for an autograph.
First time in human history that anyone's ever asked Joe Biden for an autograph.
Ah, yes.
Here's the selfie request.
Embarrassing.
And now it's like empty.
There's no one there.
No one wants to be seen with Joe Biden.
No one wants to be seen with Brandon.
I got it.
Sniffing people.
Yeah, that's right.
Gross.
unidentified
Mm-hmm.
benny johnson
Don't know which member of Congress that is.
Pride myself on knowing most members of Congress.
But can't quite tell.
Joe Biden.
This was supposed to be a reset for Joe Biden.
This is not a reset for Joe Biden.
This speech was terrible.
The speech didn't do anything.
It didn't move any balls.
It didn't move any brain cells either.
Joe Biden just being...
Oh, a total doofus.
Sheila Jackson Lee!
Sheila Jackson Lee!
Here we go.
This conversation is going to last a while.
Sheila Jackson Lee, one of the most corrupt members of Congress.
Certainly one of the dumbest.
Ah!
Now I know who that was.
That lady's awful.
The one who was talking to Joe Biden.
It's actually my parents' member of Congress.
Her name escapes me right now, unfortunately.
Rock Island, Illinois.
She's terrible.
She's leaving Congress this year.
Sherry Jacobs, I think?
Whatever.
All right.
Lauren Boebert coming on soon.
unidentified
Mm hmm.
benny johnson
What's going on with Brandon?
Ladies and gentlemen, did you like the livestream?
For those of you still with us, what's going on?
Did you like the livestream?
We had a hilarious time.
Nancy Pelosi was just sitting there rolling her dentures around in her mouth.
A reminder, Nancy Pelosi won't be there next year.
Nancy Pelosi will be gone from that seat next year.
It'll be Kevin McCarthy ripping up Joe Brandon's speech.
These wicked, wicked people.
I can't believe that they did that.
What about just scum?
What about just scumbags?
So you have Kevin McCarthy, who wasn't on camera very much.
Too bad.
Joe Brandon sitting there signing as Brandon.
And Nancy Pelosi, again, won't be there next year.
Lauren Boebert will be on.
Thank you very much, ladies and gentlemen.
Sorry about that.
I missed the comments there for just a second.
I got a message from my team.
I thank you very much for watching along with us.
We had tens of thousands of people watching our live roast of Joe Brandon.
We'll do this.
I like this format.
We'll do this all the time.
And then we'll put the comments on the screen.
We're going to be working on, like, getting the comments into more of an interactive.
But this is good.
I mean, this is good.
It's been fun.
I've been able to, like, actually, I can read the comments.
I can watch them.
And we can respond and we can have a conversation.
That's what this is all about.
You'll be able to have a conversation with Lauren Boebert when she is up.
And we should be set.
But I just want to say thank you very much for watching.
I'm seeing all the comments rolling in right now.
I just really appreciate it.
I mean, you know, it's us trying to add a little bit of humor.
A little bit of comedy so that you don't have to watch it alone in your living room and like scream and throw your beer at the TV.
You can set throw your beer directly into the back of your mouth and have a drink with me as we watch Brandon.
Brandon, our country.
What a...
Gross spectacle.
What a creepy spectacle.
What a...
just a disgusting, syphilitic, embalmer's mirage this entire thing was.
Joe Biden, the worst president in American history.
The polls show it.
One dumb speech isn't going to change anything.
The Americans know what's true.
Americans go down to their gas station and pay for $4 gas.
Americans get their grocery bill, and it's twice what it used to be.
Americans know it.
Americans aren't dumb.
Although 81 million Americans, quote-unquote, voted for Joe Biden.
And so, we will accept your apology.
You owe us all an apology.
Thanks, Benny.
It's been a blast.
Thank you, Benny, for providing us a safe place to endure the circus.

Thank you.
You're welcome.
Of course.
This is what we're here for.
We'll get better at it.
We had a couple of little, you know, little, you know, little things.
We had to flip feeds here and there, and I'm sure there were little technical glitches, but we're going to get better.
Why would you take a photo with Brandon?
Why would you want that?
Why would you want a photo with Brandon?
Can someone explain that to me?

Disgusting.
One of the worst speeches I've ever heard, said Wanda, Little Caesar's $5 pizza.
Somebody said Little Caesar's $5 pizza is now $6.

benny johnson
Again, ladies and gentlemen, we are waiting for Lauren Boebert.
unidentified
Words like jobs and the economy in his speech tonight.
And then if you were wondering, who was the designated survivor?
It was Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo.
She was the designated survivor from the Cabinet, chosen to stay away in case something would happen.
Supreme Court justices in the chamber.
Jennifer Epstein with Bloomberg reporting five members of the Supreme Court were in the chamber tonight.
Chief Justice John Roberts and Justices Stephen Breyer, Elena Kagan, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett.
That left conservative Justices Alito, Thomas, and Gorsuch not attending along with Liberal Justice Sotomayor.
And then also...
We told you this earlier.
It looked like there was a signed seating tonight.
You might have noticed that members were spaced out.
