Ever delivered by an American president, beating significantly President Clinton's record in the year of two thousand, which was an hour and twenty eight minutes. This one, by my rough back of the Napkin math, is roughly around an hour and forty three And yeah, it was long.

I would say the biggest one was no new.

I would say the biggest one was no new.

Policy announcement on Ukraine, but there were some significant domestic policy events that are that definitely bear registration. But the thing is is that we should probably start with the Democratic protest by Congressman Al Green, who opened the remarks. There was some initial booing that was happening from the Democratic side. Congressman Green was standing for the duration of the first couple of minutes before he was kicked out. Anyone want to saying anything before we before.

We make people subject people to more clips from this very long we just it just gets on top of the like sure top of mind thoughts. I mean to me, the big takeaways were the actually lack of new policy specifics with regard to tariffs in Ukraine in particular, where I think, you know, that's certainly where we perked up and we're listening like, is you going to.

Say, are the terriffs on? Are the tariffs off?

Say, are the terriffs on? Are the tariffs off?

Still don't know, which I think probably indicates that the signaling that they might be rolled back could be the case, because he certainly wasn't touting the Canada in Mexico twenty five percent across the board. He was focusing on, Oh we did this with China with steel. Oh we're looking we're doing these reciprocal tariffs April, second, April, second down the road. He mentioned Canada and Mexico, but he did not specifically tout the terrorifts that just went into effect, which you know, if I'm reading in between the lines, I feel like, Okay, well, that's probably an indication that it is Lutnik was right. They are probably rolling back or diminished to something.

Ukraine. I kind of feel the same way.

Ukraine. I kind of feel the same way.

You know, he talked about the letter that he got from Zelensky that we talked about earlier that is already public. He talked about the desire to make a deal, and you know, moving forward, So I think probably the reporting about them continuing to work on this rare semnial deal is also probably let's too accurate. I mean, it seems like based on what he's saying, but he did not confirm any of those pieces.

Yeah, it is actually kind of surprising that there was no new major initiative either on the tariffs on Ukraine, especially because they were hyping that from news level. A lot of the speech was basically messaging, So I was clocking the time, so statistically most people turn off around ten pm. Just they watched the first like thirty to forty five minutes. Yeah, the first thirty forty five minutes. So this is basically just a campaign speech. It was like we won the election, historic landslide mandate. That's with the Algreen protests and all of that happened. There was a lot of culture war stuff there during that time period, a lot of DEI trans CRT basically all the greatest hits uh from Trump. We eventually then started to get to the economy, doge and social security, and we're going to play some of that for you, But any other thoughts.

One of you guys gives your Mirror summary too before we play, at least on the tariffs.

On the tariffs front, at least he described why he was going to do them, Like with with the Canada and Mexico ones. He's just been telling us they've been ripping us off and we subsidized Canada. And that's quite light on those though. He went back to the old school. We're going to if you're not a if you don't have steel, you don't have a country. We're going to make steel, right, and so we're going to do these targeted tariffs on steel and like aluminum, like so at least like there was some like ethos behind it, like back to the Oh, that's that's the thing about tariffs. You're trying to actually build up industry inside the country rather than we've been suffering through this like fiction about these these tariffs being fentanyl related.

I can either agree with it or disagree with it.

That's you know.

That's you know.

I think we've spent almost a decade now always potentially anticipating I don't mean we so much, I mean the media more broadly, some new version of Donald Trump, like he doesn't have to run for re election now. He felt like he was coasting on these high approval ratings as his administration started.

He felt like he was coasting on these high approval ratings as his administration started.

He's got Elon Musk by his side.

He's got Elon Musk by his side.

And what he did was give a very like classic Trump, rambling, riffing, very partisan. He ribbed Pocahontas in front of her face like Elizabeth Warren. He called her Pocahontas during this media.

Yeah, what she must have done something something about the war, like hold something up, Like I'm saying.

Yeah, what she must have done something something about the war, like hold something up, Like I'm saying.

What was this?

What was this?

The only I saw her like scrolling on her phone at one point. But I didn't even make her like participating in the protest whatever. But I mean, I don't know that she necessarily had to do it. He just has like animistic He just you know, whatever.

It's a thing he doesn't changed, I think change on.

It's a thing he doesn't changed, I think change on.

Yes and no.

Yes and no.

The style of the speech, yes, typical Trump, you know, going through his greatest hits in terms of his grand election victory, and you know, calling Democrats out to their fail like you would never clap for me, no matter what, you know, putting them on.

Flats like that.

Flats like that.

It's so said, no mater, how I did what I did, it wouldn't be enough for you people. And then you know, at the end of course, he's got to. He goes back to retell the story of the assassination attempt and how he was saved by God to save the country, which makes me very uncomfortable when people start putting themselves in those sort of messianic terms.

But you know, again classic Trump up.

But you know, again classic Trump up.

But you know, on the like on the economic policy front, as I'm just listening to the actual policies, like this is a freaking Paul Ryan speech, Like we're talking about deregulation, we're talking about social security, we're talking about tax cuts. I mean, it was very I was like, this is a coke network policy agenda.

You have a with tariffs?

You have a with tariffs?

He did, Yeah, that got but again that he's like, I mean, we're not even clear on what that is. But the piece that he frontloaded with was all the just like standard conventional Republican stuff that he ran so hard against and positioned himself so hard against back in twenty fifteen. Now we all know the record of the actual Trump administration the first time around, where their biggest accomplishment was a giant tax cut for the rich.

But to me, that combined with he.

But to me, that combined with he.

Was you know, trying to get applause lines on oh we're going to get rid of the budget deficit, and then reading down the list of all the wasteful government programs like the transgender mice, you know, all of those things, like that's Fox. I used to do a lot of Fox News hits back in the you know, post to.

Like twenty eleven time frame.

That was the spot.

And yeah, it was every day.

It was like, oh my god, they spent ten dollars per month in at this conference.

It was like, oh my god, they spent ten dollars per month in at this conference.

Or they're always very love it was all.

Or they're always very love it was all.

And so I'm like, oh, this is such a throwback to the Paul Ryan talking points, just delivered through a Trump you know Trumpian pinas.

And so I'm like, oh, this is such a throwback to the Paul Ryan talking points, just delivered through a Trump you know Trumpian pinas.

All that chaos and all we get is like different lies about social security.

Yeah, he's out.

Yeah, he's out.

There saying that like one hundred and sixty year olds are getting solid security.

And it's like even Fox News actually debunks that talking.

Okay, let's say let's say that commentary. So do you want to just do the social skillity, Go.

Okay, let's say let's say that commentary. So do you want to just do the social skillity, Go.

Ahead and cueue up social security. Let me see what number number five? Number five guys, if you can cueue this up where he starts talking about social security and he's reiterating the lies that Elon spread about the you know, people who are supposedly three hundred years old or whatever and still getting so scary. We know none of this is true, but it doesn't matter. It's still in the present speech. If we've got that, let's go ahead and roll it.

We're also identifying shocking levels of incompetence and probable fraud in the Social Security program for our seniors, and that areur seniors and people that we love rely on. Believe it or not, Government databases list four point seven million Social Security members from people aged one hundred to one hundred nine years old.

I mean, make no mistake when you're setting up. And this is why it was significant.

I mean, make no mistake when you're setting up. And this is why it was significant.

That Trump brought it up.

That Trump brought it up.

When you were bringing this up, you were creating a pretext to cut the program, and again totally counter to the way Trump has always positioned himself. And he'll use this, these lies about alleged fraud to justify the cuts. And we already see, you know, dogs gutting the Social Security administration is actually a warning from Martin Malley, who was previously Social Security Administrator, that it cannot the system cannot handle that level of cuts, and that people should start saving their money in anticipation that the program could face disruption just from not.

Having a enough staff the hotline.

Having a enough staff the hotline.

You know, people who answer the hotlines are being cut offices across the country are being cut. So to me, when the word social security came out of his mouth in the context of like, oh, there's all this giant fraud et cetera, et cetera, that is a huge indication of direction.

You know, people who answer the hotlines are being cut offices across the country are being cut. So to me, when the word social security came out of his mouth in the context of like, oh, there's all this giant fraud et cetera, et cetera, that is a huge indication of direction.

That was the most important political moment of the speech to me. I think I said that to you guys at the time. I was like, that is very important. Not only is it Donald Trump endorsing the elon strategy around that, but he's taking ownership of what is very likely to be extremely unpopular. And this gets to the way that this will all happen. So it's very unlikely to see a top line across the board cut of Social Security right pass by the Congress and the next tax bill, even in terms of entitlement reform or whatever. But there may be at least elements to chip away at the program or at the very least like reduced successibility now currently regardless, I mean, you've got your hand basically right there on the rail the most potent political weapon. I mean, I remember being with the four of you guys talking when Biden had that problem where he's like hey, He's like, okay, we're all agreeing, we're not going to cut Social Security. So the problem that they have is even if they pursue no cuts, is that even tampering with the program is going to have tremendous blowback from a lot of people. But last thing on this, they may be able to get around it because they also said during the speech the no tax on Social Security, which we all won't know, will be extremely popular with a lot of seniors. I mean how much I'm thinking if you're one hundred percent reliant on Social Security, like that's what probably what almost ten fifteen to twenty five percent of your income that's going back to tax. I've said before, I think it's crazy, Like why does the government give you money if just to take it back? It actually is very inefficient.

The Reagan Compromise brought that in, which is what to have income tax on social It didn't used to be taxed.

Yeah, it makes no sense.

Yeah, it makes no sense.

It's like, why would you give you a lump sum of money and then take a portion of it back and expect you to file it and then we'll take it back forty five days later.

It's like, why would you give you a lump sum of money and then take a portion of it back and expect you to file it and then we'll take it back forty five days later.

It's ridiculous.

It's ridiculous.

If there's only one interesting thing other than everything you guys have said that I noticed on this point is his line about social security as he started this conversation. He is slightly new framing from the old Republican talking point. He says, we are also identifying shocking levels of incompetence and probable fraud in the social security program our seniors rely on, which is interesting because Republicans used to just demonize social Security, and in this he's trying to frame it as saying, I'm saving our seniors from the fraud that is dragging down social security. To Ryan's point about you're just dressing up the same old talking points about social security in different language, that's basically the best example of it. He's saying, we're doing all of this tea party talking points or all this tea party rhetoric if you tweak it to say we're doing this to save the program.

He was like, We're going to raise a retirement agent.

But the idea the way it's always framed, Oh my god, this is going that I care so much about is going bankrupt and we have to save it.

End since the nineteen thirties, Right, we really loved so much.

But we're just really interested in the best interest of this program. That's what these cuts are all about. So, but it is a little bit of a twist.

On that, but it's not that far from the way that it was portrayed in the Paul Ryan era.

Yeah, I think that's the thing, Like overall, it did sound like twenty twelve.

Yeah, yeah, Look so at this point, anyone who's surprised by that, Like, I don't know what it was Like we had him for whole first time, didn't we Like where all of this went through.

Yeah, yeah, Look so at this point, anyone who's surprised by that, Like, I don't know what it was Like we had him for whole first time, didn't we Like where all of this went through.

He said he won't touch security, Medicare. He probably won't at the top.

He said he won't touch security, Medicare. He probably won't at the top.

Line in the way that Paul Ryan and all those other folks will this chipping away and all of that, Like I don't, I don't. I'm not yet sure how far they're going to go or if they're really that stupid, Like are you really so stupid that you would actually acts what's seventy five percent of the SSA offices or privatize it or whatever.

Bush in a project two thousand and five, a project led by two billionaires.

Bush in a project two thousand and five, a project led by two billionaires.

Yeah, that's right.

Yeah, that's right.

I mean the optive optics of it would be insane, especially if it happened at the very same time that you passed a massive tax cut and extension for the rich, which.

They are all on record they're going to do it, Like.

They are all on record they're going to do it, Like.

The only question is if they also include the no tax on tips. I will say I do think that the tips and social security thing could potentially I wouldn't say it saved them, but make it more of a wash than the last time. Twenty seventeen was just so naked in terms of what the actual policy was. But the tips thing, I mean, we all know it's gonna be very popular and they're going to message the hell out of it. And same with the no tax on social security. I could see that being like some sort of counter valance and all that. But I mean, look, they're.

Playing with fire. They're playing with the same fire they're playing with under Rick Scott. Like it just never ends. I don't know why.

There's also no guarantees that those policies make it in. I mean, it's not spell down in the Republican budget and actually.

There's also no guarantees that those policies make it in. I mean, it's not spell down in the Republican budget and actually.

The yeah, they don't want to do it.

The yeah, they don't want to do it.

The numbers as they exist, you know, and what they have said that they're working with in terms of the amount that they've allocated for tax cuts would not be sufficient to include no tax on tips and no tax on we know, the four trillion dollar tax cut, like that part is locked in the rest of it. And then you also have to throw in there the salt tax situation.

And then you also have to throw in there the salt tax situation.

Yeah, they got to go to twenty percent.

Yeah, they got to go to twenty percent.
