| Yes, it's me. | |
| Twice. In one day. | |
| Twice. But this is just going to be a single topic. | |
| It's a hot story and it's fun. | |
| So I wanted to get on here and share it. | |
| Alright, as soon as we get a thousand people, we'll jump into it. | |
| You have fresh coffee? | |
| Well then join me for the second simultaneous sip of the day. | |
| Grab your beverage. | |
| Let's go! Yeah, that's cold coffee. | |
| That simultaneous sip seemed like a much better idea until I tasted it. | |
| Alright, so the news story is this. | |
| Nancy Pelosi has suggested that the President of the United States is no longer welcome, I would say, to give the State of the Union to the House, the typical way it's done. | |
| She claims, rather disingenuously, that there's a security issue because maybe the security won't be paid and therefore they would have bad security. | |
| Of course that's not true. | |
| Because the security professionals are not going to let the President of the United States get killed because their paycheck was late. | |
| I think you need a little bit of trust At that level of professionalism, by the time you're chosen to protect the President of the United States, you're a little beyond the, well, let's let him die today. | |
| I didn't get paid. | |
| I don't think that's going to happen. | |
| But that's not my point. | |
| I'll let the pundits make the obvious points. | |
| Here's my point. | |
| Just think of the situation here. | |
| The State of the Union, the way it is typically done and the way Nancy Pelosi says she doesn't want it done, is the most boring presentation in the world. | |
| I think we all agree with that, right? | |
| Many of us will watch it because it's present, but really it's the most boring setting, the most boring, controlled, prompter-reading situation you could ever have. | |
| And it's not really even that good visually, because you can see half of the people acting like they don't like it. | |
| So half of the people aren't even going to be clapping. | |
| So this is really... | |
| The worst situation for this president. | |
| Now, here's the fun part. | |
| Apparently the White House has not directly addressed this lack of invitation. | |
| Now, Rand Paul has said, hey, bring it over to the Senate. | |
| But the Senate would just be another boring place to do it. | |
| And it would be sort of feeling like you gave in to Nancy Pelosi. | |
| She got what she wanted and you still have a boring State of the Union. | |
| Nobody wins. Although I appreciate that Rand Paul, like always, he always has the best, sort of the most, you know, freshest ideas on a lot of different stuff. | |
| So I continue to be impressed that he seems more solution-oriented than politically oriented. | |
| But here's what I wanted to get on here and have a laugh with you about. | |
| This president... | |
| The most entertaining president of all time, even if you don't like him, you're going to agree with that, right? | |
| He's the most theatrical, the most performance-oriented, the most show-must-go-on, the most bring-me-the-attention, the most interesting, just the most... | |
| Entertainment-oriented president of all time. | |
| And everybody would agree with that, right? | |
| Both sides would agree with this point. | |
| And they just allowed him to be free. | |
| They just released the Kraken. | |
| He's the most entertaining person in the world who is only stopped in his entertainment value Hello? | |
| Hello? Hello? Yes, be right now. | |
| All right, I had to go do something. | |
| But I just want to suggest that they freed the president to make this an entertaining event, which will be the best state of the union of all times. | |
| Now, I don't know that he'll go that way, but Pelosi's play is this huge strategic blunder in which he gets to go from a boring thing to maybe the best thing that ever happened. | |
| That's all I need to say today. |
