President Trump put on quite the show last night.  His speech came in at 1 hour and 49 minutes, beating his own record last year by 9 minutes.  The speech was less of an address and more of a reality tv show: complete with awards, surprises, and tearful reunions.   And while there were certainly divisive moments - with dozens of Democrats not even present boycotting the address, it was surprisingly positive and upbeat. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Amy and T.J. discuss what wasn’t said in John Davidson’s statement after he shouted the N Word at acclaimed black actors Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo at the BAFTA awards. While it’s true that Davidson - who suffers from Tourette Syndrome -  could not control his outburst, it doesn’t mean it didn’t inflict harm.  In his official statement, Davidson thanked the public for their support and said  he’s spent his life teaching “empathy, kindness, and understanding from others, and I will continue to do so.”  But what he didn’t say was “I’m sorry” or even acknowledge the names of Jordan and Lindo - to apologize for the painful humiliation they endured at his outburst. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
