Actually pushed back and yell back at the president. And what could be a very tense speech at the same time, democrats view this speech is very high stakes. They see the poll numbers, they see people concerned about the president s age and fitness for office. And some hope that his speech tonight will reassure those skeptical voters are you worried that the age issue though, is significant liability for him theres nothing joe biden can do to change the numbers after his name . What he can do is be a sharp, funny, aggressive, real presence, authentic, and peoples minds. I dont know if an old white guy can come out and say hes not an old white guy, right . You are who you are. Well, if hes a liar, he should be called out. Well see how he how he talks tonight. And then ill decide then of course, Marjorie Taylor greene was one of those republicans who did you yell loud ad joe biden last week calling it last year, calling him a liar on the house for making very clear there that she is not afraid to do so against she was wearing a pin, jake, that she is passing around to members saying laken riley, say her name, of course, referring to that Georgia Student who was tragically killed allegedly at the hands of a Migrant Crossing the southern border with mexico. The house today passed a bill to try it in her name. She says that if joe biden does not say her and her name during his speech tonight, perhaps she will Say Something on the house floor, so that will be another dynamic to watch as speaker johnson wants his Caucus Conference to be in line, but its not clear if they will listen to yeah. And just as a factual matter, would President Biden was saying last year was accurate and Marjorie Taylor greene was the one who was not telling the truth. Manu raju, thanks so much. Lets bring in the Political Panel we have with us, karen finney and david polyansky. Thanks for being here, david, welcome. To the lead. Good to have you. So the white house is aware how high the stakes are for biden tonight. They are pretty high. This is what bidens chief of staff, jeff zients said to politico, quote, youre going to see a very energized president. This is a big moment and this president rises to those big moments. Yes, it is a big moment. The stakes are super high, frankly when i was covering President Biden when he was 25 years ago, when he was in his 50s or whatever, like, even then the prospect of him doing a onehour speech would be something that his aides would be nervous about . No, not because of age, but because you might say the wrong thing or whatever he was prone to gaffes. Anyway, what does biden need to do tonight . What i think he needs to do a couple of things. Number one, talk about the contrast and lay that out in the frame because Going Forward, thats a lot of how were going to be covering the president ial, this split screen, if you will, like we saw when they were both at the border what is the plan . 2025 that donald trump is offering . What is it that im offering . What is my vision and a lot of that i think will be couched in this conversation about protecting democracy and whats the future we want for our kids. Number two, i think what youre going to see is hes going to try to talk a bit more about what hes done. And i think the guests in the first ladys gallery will be part of helping to humanize that story. So this is not just about facts and figures, although hes got great numbers. But make it about the people whose lives have been impacted positively or negatively when we have had inaction and then i think the third thing he really needs to do is to just be himself. I mean, these are its very sad to me that we are again, approaching a State Of The Union where everybody is worried whats Marjorie Taylor greene going to do and what soandso going to do when these are meant to be serious, thoughtful conversations with the president , congress, and the American People but i think hes gotta you know what, if they come after him on something . I have every confidence. Hell be fine. He david, what are you looking for tonight . Well, look, i think yesterday was a great day for donald trump, and todays a great opportunity for the president. He gets to stand in front of the nation and talk about his, not only his accomplishments, but his vision so to me theres four areas seeing that quote earlier, i think the first is fitness. And can he get on that stage tonight for an hour plus demonstrate to the country hes got the energy to carry the country forward for another four years. And look, hes trailing donald trump by about 20 20 percent plus in terms of that category. So nights an opportunity to do it is also some peril that comes along with it. Number two, i think hes going to have to tackle immigration. That is the number one issue in the country, not just in totality, but with independents. And tonight hes going to lay out his vision. I think hes going to try to blame donald trump and republicans, but hes also going to have to account for the 9. 6 Million People that have come across a legal, illegally over for his tenure. Hes going to have to address that. Number three, i think the economy is improving, but people dont feel that its improving and hes not getting the benefit of it at this point. So i think hes got to make the case and tried to take credit for it. And the last thing id say is i think hes going to have to balance his base tonight. Whether its israel and palestinian aid to Electric Vehicle mandates and car removals while he has a uaw president next to the first lady, those are a lot of Balancing Acts at an incumbent president has to take and itll be a challenge for him tonight, but it is a great opportunity. Can i just mentioned one other thing . So donald trump has said hes going to know if hes going to live tweet or lives social, whatever you call those truth, social, truth, social, every caught live, truth right . Yeah. Can factcheck it fast enough. I mean, that right there two things about that i want to mention. Number one, thats the contrast joe bidens gonna be having a serious conversation about the country in the future and god only knows the screed. Were going to hear from donald trump because as we know when he is on the device, live for its scary with the kinds of things that he says and weve seen the rhetoric has gotten more racist and sexist and sort of Out Of Bounds the second thing though, hes already stepping on his own partys message. Theyre trying to put forward this young woman, maybe breadth senator from alabama. From alabama to say, hey, were kinder, gentler. We care about ivf and young people and what its going to be. The old white guy who is going to be stealing our thunder with his phone basically reminding everybody hes the one whos in charge of the party. It doesnt matter what that young woman says. Unfortunately, i want to play something that a member of House Republican leadership, congresswoman elise stefanik, republican of new york, said yesterday she was trying to evoke something reagan said when he debated jimmy carter in 1980, take a listen are you today . Four years ago for Hardworking Americans and across the country is a resounding no so it was a great, let it was a great line that reagan used in 1980. About 1976. Are you better off than you were four years ago . Now four years ago. Today was march 2020 and that was a pretty awful mosques that was when covid really hit the United States. Its when the nba shut down its, when tom hanks, i mean you know everybody was hoarding toilet paper. I mean, so maybe five years ago they should change it to you about i mean, what do you think . I just think it needs a little tweaking. Well, look yeah. I mean, it is interesting even in the republican primary, this go around. I think there was a lot of litigation over the last year of the Trump Presidency spends expenditures, government infusion, mask mandates the vaccines. There were a lot of skeptics, even in our own party it didnt stop him there. And i dont think it stops now, the fact of the matter is the polling shows with the president s current job handling versus trumps standing right now. I mean, Trump On Average is 2. 2 ahead nationally. And hes leading by, in most cases, a significant margin if five out of six its Battleground States. So the question for the president tonight is how does he remind folks that maybe just maybe some of the things that hes done over the last few years actually had to do with the improvement weve seen in the economy for instance. But thats a tough sell because people felt really good when the economy was great for five years ago they just dont feel it right now and thats a tough thing for any politician to convince, not feel good three years ago, so please. Yes, please ask yourself, how did you feel all three years before years before four years or even four years ago . Yes. How did you feel . Let me ask you because it because david makes a good point you know, when you talk to democrats on capitol hill and the white house, there is kind of this denialism about, say, well, the president s, that what the public thinks about President Bidens job on the economy is such and such, like while the economys doing so much better and inflation is down from 9 to 3 , and unemployment under 4 and du done 150 million new jobs or whatever theyre 15 million, 900 million yeah that was something else. But my only point is like they deny what the public thinks about such a thing and just talk about the facts and figures and i get that but people the facts and figures dont vote correct . Its the people that vote, but i think youre going to hear an acknowledgment of that from the president s part of why he talked about this strike force earlier this week about how do we lower costs . Because if you think about it, the president in april, any president is limited in what he can do to bring down costs. And so yes. Jobs are good the economy is good, but i think there is a recognition, but people arent feeling it because costs are, i mean, i feel, we all feel it in rents are the main thing, right . Food and rent and gas. If you live in a state where you drive along well, i drive electric now. Okay. Well, thats a whole other thing. Why well, thats Electric Vehicles, but that a little bit more because this is a real tension that we probably dont cover enough on the show, which is the tension between bidens desires when it comes to Climate Change and converting the economy to a less of a fossil fuel economy. And the uaw worker thats going to let you, ill let you get the final work. Well, thats thats exactly right. And look and on our side of the equation right now, its about personality. Do you like donald trump . You want him to represent you as a conservative and as a republican. And do you want want them to lead the country Going Forward . It really is about his personality on the democrat side, its more about policy and there are a lot of tensions. And again, going back to it, if youre a hard hat union where union worker and toledo were outside of pennsylvania and you see a car ban being proposed by the Biden Administration maam, thats pretty tough for you to swallow. But no word yet. If you look at the deal that the uaw was able to get, they were working on how you mitigate that and President Biden was part of that and the other big topic i would say is look about manufacturing jobs. He did bring those jumps banks we are exporting more than we were four years ago. So again its not just about talking about the record, its about talking about the real pain that people are feeling and what hes trying to do to address it. One thing we didnt get to reproductive freedom. Yes. Contraception ivf, access to abortion that is going to be a huge issue this election cycle, republicans dont want to talk about it. Joe biden is the person whos going to lay that out. You guys were so good. Lets have you back in the next hour. Okay .
