| 0:00.0 | Well, howdy there, internet people, it's Bell again. So today, we're going to talk about |
| 0:09.1 | Trump's State of the Union. President Donald Trump is scheduled to deliver his State of the |
| 0:15.2 | Union address at 9 p.m. Eastern on Tuesday, February 24th. That's tonight. I'm saying scheduled because |
| 0:24.3 | there are still some murmurs that he might reschedule because of how bad things currently sit. |
| 0:31.6 | That seems unlikely at this late stage, but here we are. Okay, so this is that moment where a president touts his accomplishments. |
