We're back with another edition of the Federalist Radio Hour.

I'm Emily Gisinski, culture editor here at the Federalist.

Today I'm joined by my colleague, Eddie, scary to preview President Joe Biden's state of the union address tonight.

Eddie, welcome. Thanks for joining us.

Happy to be here. Very exciting.

I knew that you would have some cutting commentary on what we can expect to hear tonight, not just from the President, but also from the media.

Sometimes that's even a bigger story than the boilerplate state of the unions is how the media will herald them as something other than boilerplate, despite being just exceptionally boilerplate on any given day.

So I figured Eddie would be the right person to join us today.

Now I haven't mentioned this so far, but I do want to mention the Federalist ruled out a premium subscription version on our website.

I wanted to plug that quickly because it's one of those things that helps us counter the corporate media's nonsense.

You can get premium content, also ad free.

If you pay, it's four bucks a month, and if you pay for it, you get totally ad free browsing experience on the website and comments.

And our staff is in the comment section talking with everyone, and there's surely more to come on the premium subscription front.

Eddie, do you ever engage with the commenters?

Yeah, I was going to say that's my favorite feature of the premium subscription is reading the comments and I go through at least everyone on my articles, but occasionally I'll go to other other staff writers on what they've written.

But I go to all of mine and read every single comment. And if I don't explicitly say something back, I will give a you can do upvotes or whatever.

I do that just so people know that I did see it. But no, I it's probably more often than not. I actually do comment something back because our readers actually have very, very clever and cypal things to say so much of the time.

Yeah, no, it's a super cool feature. And I've like neglected to mention it on the podcast. So I just wanted to plug that and put that option out there for everyone.

We have a little bit of an indication of what Biden is going to talk about tonight because his press folks have sort of been out there saying he's going to claim, make all kinds of claims about the economy.

I think we've seen record wages go up. Whatever that means, that's kind of weird syntax. She's I think the she's indicating that President Biden is going to go after Republicans on Social Security and Medicare.
