Summary
Trump promised his state of the Union speech would be BiG. He meant Long. It was 99 minutes. We watched so you didn’t have to.
Today, we bring you the high lights and low points. And we speak to the man who would now be Secretary of State - if Kamala Harris had won the 2024 election. How does that feel up close?

| 0:00.0 | The Newsagents USA podcast is brought to you by HSBC UK, opening up a world of opportunity. |
| 0:09.0 | This is a global player original podcast. |
| 0:12.6 | $40 million to improve the social and economic inclusion of sedentary migrants. |
| 0:19.2 | Nobody knows what that is. |
| 0:22.6 | $8 million to promote LGBTQI plus in the African nation of Lesotho, which nobody has ever heard of. |
| 0:34.6 | $60 million for indigenous peoples and Afro-Columbian empowerment in Central America. |
| 0:42.6 | $60 million. |
| 0:44.3 | $8 million for making mice transgender. |
| 0:49.4 | Transgender mice or Sesame Street in Arabic or money to Lesotho. Don't look at any of those claims too closely because they were done for effect. |
| 0:59.7 | Trump was giving what many have seen as a state of the union address to both houses in Congress. |
| 1:05.2 | And it was essentially a run-through of his greatest hits so far in in which he said, essentially, that he's the best |

He was Kamala Harris's right-hand person and tipped to get the top job had she won. And the question we'll be asking is what on earth do the Democrats do now? |
| 2:09.3 | If anyone was watching last night, expecting to see the Trump thesis on America's foreign policy, |
| 2:16.9 | his position on NATO, his understanding of where the Ukraine war was going now, they got none of it. |
| 2:20.5 | All we heard was that Trump believes he has accomplished more in 43 days than most administrations accomplish in four years. And he went on to |
| 2:26.7 | say that Joe Biden was, I think, the worst president that America's ever had. It was his greatest |
