oh bomb yeses me twice in one day twice but this is just gonna be a single topic it's it's a hot story and it's fun so I wanted to get in on here and share it all right as soon as we get a thousand people will 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 whoo the simultaneous sip seemed like a whole much better idea until I tasted it all right 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
[1:05]
they would have bad security of course that's not true because the security professionals are not gonna let the President of the United States get killed because because their paycheck was late I think you need a little bit of trust that at that level of professionalism by the time you're chosen to protect the President of the United States you're a little you're a little beyond the well you know let's let them die today I didn't get paid I don't think that's gonna 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 the president but really it's the most boring setting the most boring
[2:05]
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 you know like they don't like it so half the people aren't even going to be clapping so this isn't this is really the worst situation for this president now here's the fun part apparently the White House has not directly addressed this 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 you know right yeah you 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 idea is a lot of different stuff so I
[3:06]
idea is a lot of different stuff so I continue to be impressed that he seems more solution where he had to then politically oriented but here's 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 gonna agree with that right he is the most theatrical the most performance oriented the most show must go on the most you know 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 they just released the
[4:06]
free they just they just released the Kraken he's the most entertaining person in the world who is only stopped in his entertainment value by the the context of the State of the Union and now he's free now I don't know how this will turn out but I want to at least suggest that if the way Larry yep yes be right down all right here good 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 they've they've the 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 I think I would think it's hilarious and I will talk to you later
