LIVE Following The SOTU | John Dickerson
Stephen Colbert delivers his LIVE monologue following President Trump’s record-setting State of the Union address, where the unpopular leader demonized Democrats and touted his policy that kicked millions of Americans off food stamps. Not present at the speech were the gold medal-winning women of Team USA Hockey who declined the president’s invitation and chose instead to celebrate their achievement alongside Flavor Flav in Las Vegas. Brilliant journalist John Dickerson offers an historical perspective on why Congress invites the president to deliver a yearly speech to the chamber, and why the founders carefully set up a system that awards equal powers to the three branches of government. Listen to his podcasts, “Navel Gazing” and Slate’s “Political Gabfest,” available wherever you get your podcasts.
