Hey, Life, Welcome to the Daily Wires live coverage of the State of the Union.

0:43.4

Tonight I'm joined by two of the best-looking men in the business.

0:46.1

I don't want to say who, I don't want to start no fights.

0:49.3

I'm your host, Jeremy Boring. We're glad to have you with us. Before we get started,

0:52.8

I want to remind you that all of our DailyWire Plus members can submit questions, and we will do our best to answer a lot of

0:58.8

them in the back half of the show coming up after the president's remark. That's right. It's that

1:03.5

time of year again, the worst night of the year, the night that the president stands up and

1:09.1

goes on and on and on and on and on. It doesn't really matter to me if it's a Republican president or a Democrat president. People used to say, oh, Trump, it's going to be great. It was not great. The State of the Union is one of the worst things that happens in American public life. That's why we join together so that you can suffer right here with us. The only thing that makes tonight's State of the Union somewhat more bearable to me is that while we're here suffering it with whiskey and Mayflower cigars and whatever it is that Ben's allowed to eat according to his religion, Michael Knowles is actually there in person. I know, I know. He's suffering in an actual seat. He's gone and his cigars are here. It's perfect.

1:44.3

It's the best use of Michael. He totally deserves this.

1:47.6

Good for him. He's finally getting what he deserves.

1:49.9

Here's a little clip that Michael sent us from the event itself. Hey, gents, sorry that I can't be with you all.

1:56.6

That's actually not true at all.

1:57.4

I'm very glad I can't be with you all because I'm here at the Capitol with Congressman Andy Ogles,

2:02.0

who very kindly invited me here for the State of the Union. So you jerks can all watch it on camera, but we'll be here for the real thing. Andy, you just gave me a very important button on one of the biggest issues facing the country right now.

2:15.4

Well, every small town in America, every town in America is a border town because of Joe Biden and his failed policies. And so you have the result of Lake and Riley and so many others that have now come forward in the news of the assaults and the rapes and the murders and the burglaries at the hands of an illegal at the feet, you can lay this at the feet of Joe Biden. Bring up Reagan's line, are you better now than you were three years ago?

2:35.5

And virtually any measure, that is not the case.

2:38.3

So we'll see how the president can possibly spin this tonight.

2:42.3

You know, one is hard pressed to think of even one area that has improved or even remained

2:47.1

status quo under his tenure.

2:49.2

So we'll see what he can do if he can even stay awake for the speech.

2:52.5

And then we'll speak to you afterward.

2:57.5

That's Michael Knowles at the Capitol for the event.
