Hello there, you awakening wonders. Look, if I don't mention Ash Wednesday, you're going to

have serious questions about what's on my forehead and think maybe. Is this some sort of Nazi

thing potentially? So I'm not trying to be religiously exclusive when I say, happy Ash Wednesday,

and that I am Ash's. And one day I will

return to ashes. And it's only the endowment of a divine spirit that even makes my life worth

living, or even the concept of anything having value possible and plausible at all. And that's

something we're going to have to investigate because we've got so much to talk about today, but

mostly, obviously, Trump's congressional address and the fusion of stand-up and rhetoric into a position that we'd previously start to see it a bit boring.

I mean, what I'm saying bluntly is, how would it have been if Kamala Harris was doing that?

How would it have been if it was Joe Biden?

And was it good when, say, someone who's good at public speaking, like Barack Obama was doing it, because this is

pretty significant, I would say, wouldn't you? Like, it's a pretty extraordinary address.

I want to focus on the sort of sulkiness of the Democrats. And then I want to talk about that

little boy, which I think was pretty sweet and lovely. But anyway, there's so much

to get into. If you're watching this on X or YouTube, perfectly good platforms, X, I suppose we have to

be extremely grateful for because it's a free speech platform. YouTube, I'm a little more dubious

about that. You know, I'm sort of not involved in litigation, but on the precipice of litigation

because of YouTube.

You know what happened with me on that platform.

But ultimately where I want you guys is on Rumble.

So this screen is just a slight angle, and I'm such a little freak.

Even that's bothering me.
