Jimmy what what number is this this for you, state of the union for you i think this is maybe the 25th that ive covered, the 25th of them jimmy thats amazing, buddy. Yeah. Jimmy congratulations. [ cheers and applause thats amazing, bud. Thats jimmy thats so cool its theyre very long jimmy thats so cool that theyre very long jimmy this kid, freshman, right here, is doing his 25th state of the union. I mean, come on. You have the best researchers. I think i posted this on Facebook Like ten years ago. Jimmy yeah, thats us. Yeah, exactly. [ light laughter ] we we liked it. We liked it. Im gonna have to jimmy yeah [ laughter ] follow him, follow him and im gonna have to block you jimmy like his [ laughter ] what do we expect from President Biden tomorrow night well, hes hoping jimmy yes. To, you know, present his case the economys doing better hes gonna have some probably some bad guys to go after. Such as hes going after companies for shrinking, like, the size of cookies and stuff like that. Did you see this, shrinkflation . [ light laughter ] like you pay the same, but the oreos are smaller. Do you know about this jimmy oh, yeah, i know what shrinkflation is yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah [ laughter ] no, i dont mean that jimmy all too all too well im not referring jimmy all too well yeah, yeah i was in the pool jimmy yeah, exactly. Exactly right. No, no. But cookie monster weighed in on this. Did you see this cookie monster on twitter was said something in opposition to to shrinkflation jimmy i did see that i did see that its true and frank oz, whos an original muppeteer, he was the voice of miss piggy and yoda. He he got mad he went on twitter and said like, cookie monster should not be entering the political debate. [ laughter ] its this really happened jimmy hes hes got a a point there. Yeah no, i i understand jimmy but is is biden gonna talk about cause one thing i would do if i was of course, im not advising the president , but i see all these headlines that the stock markets are breaking yeah. These records. And its the highest theyve ever been. And and i go, well, no ones really talking about this. This you know whos talking about it, actually donald trump last night talked about it, except he took credit for it he said its because wall street thinks hes gonna be elected again in november, so the stock market is now going up because of him. Jimmy oh, is that right . [ light laughter ] yeah. Jimmy thats why its up thats so good well, you gotta give him [ laughter ] jimmy thats so good points for creativity. I would assume that biden is gonna talk about some of the good Economic News while also acknowledging that, you know, food prices and rent are still too high, and hes still talking about that the big challenge that i think for him, and obviously for what republicans are hoping he does, is that he doesnt make any big mistakes because a lot of people are paying attention to his age, and concerned about his age. Ive been covering him for 25 years, and jimmy wow. This is a guy who, even when he was like, you know, youngish, was gaffe prone and longwinded. And like, you know, even then jimmy he was in his 50s. Right [ light laughter ] even then, it would be like an open question, can he get through an hours speech without stepping in it and now hes 81, so but last year, he had a really good moment, actually. Last year, he had a moment where, like, somebody heckled him on Social Security he was saying the republicans were going to raise or cut Social Security, medicare, and they booed him and he said, oh, so he did a pivot, like, you agree with me now great, were making progress. Something like that. Jimmy oh, thats good. So, he had a moment but, you know, ive got to imagine theyre nervous at the white house right now. And that theyre salivating at the Republican National committee, hoping for a mistake. Jimmy i want to talk about the United States of oh, yeah. Jimmy this is the United States of scandal yes jimmy is a sixpart series i think its genius, by the way. Thank you so much just so you know, its not airing this sunday, cause of the oscars, but the next sunday its coming on jimmy oh yeah, this sunday watch jimmy kimmel right, well Jimmy Jimmy Kimmel yeah hes our boy. Jimmy yeah, he is our yeah [ light laughter ] we watch jimmy kimmel. Yeah, we like him. But the sunday after that, were gonna do mcgreevey these are these are you know, a lot of things changed when donald trump came down that escalator in 2015. And we went back and looked at some of the scandals that were so huge before then sanford, and john edwards, and jimmy spitzer. Blagojevich and spitzer. Interviewed Major Players and sat down with them, tried to figure out what really happened and its been its been fun its really fascinating. Jimmy its all fascinating stuff. Congrats on this i want to show a clip. Heres jake tapper with former governor Jim Mcgreevey in the next episode of United States of scandal. Take a look at this. I didnt wake up and say, you know, im going to be deceptive for the sake of deceiving. Im gonna create this whole doubleledger. No, i didnt make that decision prior to the Gubernatorial Campaign i made it, like, at 7 or 8yearsold. I can remember this as if it were yesterday i go to my local public library, and im pulling out the card catalog looking for the word homosexuality. And it said underneath, see psychiatric illness. And it was just like, whew, this thing, at least then in america called gay wasnt a good thing i realized at that point in time that life is going to be a very painful trajectory if i own this and you just try to make an accommodation, albeit an unhealthy accommodation.
