I thought it was boring. Here is something he could have said that matters.

Resolution regarding US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi

WHEREAS US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), Rep. Jane Harman (D-Calif.) and Sens. Bob Graham (D-Fla.), Sen. John D. Rockefeller IV (D-W.Va.), Rep. Porter J. Goss (R-Fla.) and Sen. Pat Roberts (R-Kan) were briefed from 2002 to 2003 in about 30 private secret and classified briefings, about the planned use of cruel, unusual and inhuman treatment, per orders of former President George W. Bush and his subordinates and they did not go public to try to prevent this with war crimes,

WHEREAS a memo describing techniques which interrogators wanted to use: facial slap, solitary confinement, forced standing until your muscles hurt or give out (also noted as self-torture aka stress positions), sleep deprivation and sleep disruption, insects placed in a confinement, fear of dogs or other phobias, cramped confinement, subjection to extreme heat or extreme cold, restricting food or water, lighting on all the time or no views of the outside sunlight, sounds of people being tortured, loud sounds or music, 20-hour interrogations, and water-boarding them,

WHEREAS these Congress people had a Constitutional and legal duty to go public about the planned or on-going use of torture, ghost prisoners, secret jails, and kidnapping and rendition to proxy nations that torture, (all war crimes), notwithstanding that these activities were classified and criminal behavior cannot be classified for national security reasons,

WHEREAS not speaking up about the President planning to do torture, made these Congress people accessories to the war crime to torture, ghost prisoners, secret jails, and kidnapping and rendition to proxy nations that torture,

WHEREAS a crime against peace, in international law, refers to "planning, preparation, initiation, or waging of wars of aggression, or a war in violation of international treaties, agreements or assurances, or participation in a common plan or conspiracy for the accomplishment of any of the foregoing" It is the supreme international crime differing only from other war crimes in that it contains within itself the accumulated evil of the whole,

WHEREAS however Speaker Nancy Pelosi has accused intelligence officials of failing to brief her about the CIA’s enhanced interrogation methods that included water-boarding and that is not believable,

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED we are very troubled that US Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi is now again the Speaker of the House of Representatives and has been so for years since her failure to speak up,

I loved the fact that he didn't hug and kiss himself like Donnie did.

Another way to describe those polls is biased. From the article 54% of the speech’s viewers identified as Democrats, while only 18% were Republicans. The big take away no one watched and no one cares about Biden or what he has to say - a 28 year low in viewers. Impressive indeed.

Same could be said of the bias of national review and the rasmussen poll linked below. i watched and I care as do many other Americans. It not a sideshow circus like the trump administration. We have an actual president in office which is refreshing.

Well its great that you feel that way however can you explain the low numbers? I would have thought having two females presiding at the speech it would have encouraged people to watch on historical purposes alone - yet many had better things to do. I find this odd as supposedly more adult identify as democrats now than ever as well votes cast in the 2020 election what gives?
