President Biden delivered his second state of the Union address and he covered a lot of

ground.

You know, we're often told that Democrats and Republicans can't work together.

But over the past two years, we've proved the cynics and they say is wrong.

Topics include the economy, American resilience and unity.

But for all the talk of bipartisanship, Republicans made their feelings known loudly.

Some Republicans want Medicare and Social Security to sunset.

I'm not saying it's a majority.

The state of the Union address is usually the largest television audience for a president.

Last year, 38 million people tuned in.

Today, we hear from our panel and from you about what stood out from the address.

Then later on, we speak to a panel of speech writers for a behind-the-scenes look at what

goes into putting together speeches like the state of the Union.
