I'm Steve Hayes, here with the Dispect Live.

Glad to be joined by my colleague, Kevin Williamson and David Drucker.

We'll soon be joined by my other colleagues. To talk about the president's rather lengthy speech,

not quite two hours, we had some estimates before the speech that it could go as long as two hours,

maybe even two and a half. It was mercifully shorter than that, but didn't feel shorter than that.

We are going to keep our conversation pretty tight here, and we're going to seek to answer some big

questions. What did the president say? Why did he say the things that he said, what does this mean

sort of at this point in his presidency and what does this mean

with an eye toward the 2026 midterm elections? So, Kevin, let me start with you. If you look at the way

the president started, he's got an approval rating stuck near his second term lows.

It sounded to me like he was trying to basically reframe his presidency as the dawn of America's golden age,

sometimes touting his oft-imagined achievements and excoriating anyone who would question them

with particularly harsh attacks on the Democrats

who are in the chamber with him. He started by describing, you know, a reality that I have to say,

to be candid about it, doesn't really exist, a roaring economy that is roaring like never before.
