And dog ramble on -- that is now from Capitol Hill politics.
You skipped last night's state of the union message you will not -- in the chain it was a deliberate miss Y.
And I didn't watch it on line and in in person excuse me and lied to and provided a running commentary I couldn't bring myself to be their Stewart.
Because his policies are ruining our country I am so upset about the policies of the -- I respect him and like him personally.
But his policies are absolutely ruining our country I -- -- magnitude -- -- Forgive me congressman I.
I -- we can argue all day long about the president's policies ruining on not ruining but look eat your job.
As congressman is surely to attend functions like this.
And I put it to you -- you politically posturing.
To try to look good back in Colorado.
It was a political statement more than anything else wasn't.
No Stuart.
In my own heart I just couldn't be -- I didn't go around trying to rally others to do the same thing let everyone do what they went there is no requirement that a person be there.
In person.
Let's -- I didn't violate any -- So you you watched it you watch it online night in a position to make a judgment about that speech are you still -- you still think that the president is going to continue ruining the country.
Stuart I'm disappointed.
He missed so many opportunities last night he could've talked about how we're gonna reduce spending and get these deficits under control he could've talked about.
What -- do about entitlements in the future.
He could've talked about.
Health care and going forward on that he just glossed over those vital subjects.
And then he got into class warfare and envy and taxing the millionaires which is gonna hit predominately small business in reality.
So he didn't seem to show any growth -- understanding.
Or any way forward that's gonna help our country did you see Mitch Daniels response to the state of the union message by any chance and what it I'm a great -- I'm afraid I did I did read it later and I'd liked what he said Mitch is a good man -- How many people -- you'll constituents do think actually watched on TV last night and the idea.
