Transcript of “State of the Union Misunderstanding”
You know, thinking about childhood misunderstandings, Grant, it occurred to me the other day that I had a big light bulb moment.
I’m not sure how old I was, but I might have been in late elementary school or early junior high school when I realized that the State of the Union was talking about the condition of the United States, the State of the Union. I had thought for the longest time that it was a competition every year. They were going to announce the State of the Union. And every year I was thinking, oh, I hope it’s going to be Kentucky.
You’re very state proud. I was very state proud. And I guess I, you know, I heard about all this buildup to the State of the Union. And then I i guess I never heard the actual speech.
So I was just hoping that Kentucky—
All of Congress is gathered.
Right?
And I was just hoping my home state—
President is there.
Yeah.
Your home state’s going to get recognized for the greatness.
Yeah.
It’s due.
It’s time.
Right.
Time for Kentucky to get what is owed.
That’s wonderful.
