0:00.0	Hello and welcome to Youthful Idiots. I'm Katie Halper.
0:08.8	And I'm Mary Mate. Thanks so much for being here. Our website is Useful Idiots Podcast.com. Go there
0:13.6	to support the show and get bonus content.
0:16.8	So I'm going to start off with Democrats suck and boy, do they suck? So to be fair, so does Donald Trump.
0:22.6	But I'm going to highlight their suckage in this.
0:24.8	So Donald Trump gave his first joint address to Congress and it was chock full of really disgusting things.
0:30.7	But don't worry, guys, because I feel like we're in really good hands.

1:23.5	even big Democrat cheerleader and kind of resistance lib, Stephen Colbert,
1:29.7	mock the Democrat response. Let's take a look.
1:32.5	The man barked out one appalling claim after another, but don't you worry. The Democrats came
1:37.7	ready to fight back with their little paddles, okay? That is how you save democracy by quietly dissenting or bidding on an antique tea set.
1:49.3	It was hard to tell what was going on.
