Summary

Thom Hartmann reflects on the astonishing impact of the recent State of the Union speech by Joe Biden as the most presidential that he has ever seen in his lifetime. Callers respond in favor and against. Also a rumor is dropped of George Santos' secret victory during the speech. Plus Sarah Huckabee Sanders fails to actually craft a response, instead phoning in dirge tinged pablum in front of a cheap green screen.
