Summary

Members of Congress Mike Lawler & Nicole Malliotakis call in together to deliver a "major announcement", saying they worked with Speaker Mike Johnson to secure Sid a ticket to the State of the Union, briefly teasing that Capitol Police and the Secret Service had blacklisted him due to being escorted out during Joe Biden’s 2023 speech, before confirming he is invited and Johnson is pleased he’s coming. The conversation turns to what to expect from President Trump’s upcoming address amid Fox News speculation about a possible Iran strike, with Malliotakis highlighting claimed accomplishments on taxes, jobs, manufacturing, hostage issues, border security, deportations, and crime reduction, and both criticizing Democrats for past refusals to applaud, including for a boy with cancer. Lawler also comments on reports some Democrats may boycott the address, mocks AOC’s readiness for higher office, notes she grew up in Yorktown Heights rather than the Bronx, and argues Democrats have a weak bench while praising Trump’s border enforcement and deportation figures.
