On this morning after the State of the Union the night before, I started the day with some post-SOTU analysis with Bob Lonsberry on NewsRadio WHAM 1180 in Rochester, New York. We'll post the audio as soon as we can. This afternoon at 3.30pm Eastern I'll be back for more Wednesday-morning-quarterbacking with Rich Zeoli on what I still like to think of as The Big Talker 1210 WPHT in Philadelphia.
Pre-State of the Union, earlier this week I checked in with Dave Allen at 570 WSYR in Syracuse, where Dave will be joining Dennis Miller and me on stage at the Crouse-Hinds Theatre on Saturday February 23rd. You can hear how well my SOTU hopes aligned with reality. Click below to listen:
Aside from the Crouse-Hinds Theatre in Syracuse, Dennis Miller and I will also be taking to the stage on February 22nd at the Santander Performing Arts Center in Reading, Pennsylvania (where tickets are fast disappearing), and then at the Kodak Center in Rochester, New York (where I hope to see a few friendly Ontarian faces in the crowd from up the QEW) and finally at the Kirby Center in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. And don't forget, with VIP seating you get to meet Dennis and me after the show. More details of the Miller/Steyn New York/Pennsylvania gigs here.
See you on the Big Talker as your go-to-for-SOTU guy with Rich Zeoli this afternoon.

Another good State of the Union by President Trump. It wasn't a good look by the Democrats, unless you are a fan of Sister Act. Pelosi's could have been improved with a bag of sunflower seeds. The rare opportunity to see, in a single room, all of the people responsible for causing so much trouble is appealing. We're let out of the opinion-crafters' sight for more than an hour and can weigh for ourselves the President's case. The good-faith of the other side was betrayed by their repeated refusals to take sides on basic right and wrong.
Nancy Pelosi being unable to sit still, and the choir awkwardly muting themselves and spitefully sitting on their hands, doesn't match the sentiment of the country. Americans are aspirational by character. The choice is clear: drive a stake through America or take a stake in America. It can't be left to the people in that room. Ask not what your country can do for you...
Sol,
" Americans by nature are aspirational by character, drive a stake or take a stake", how well said, thank you for that. Being a Clubber pays dividends every day, some days more than others.
Just saw coverage of Chuck Schumer having a major moan about Trump's Jekyll and Hyde SOTU address. I suspect that, since November 2016, he has woken up each and every morning, only to find that Hillary STILL isn't President, and has thrown another hissy fit.
Seeing that section of the audience all clothed in similar garments, all I could think of was White Privilege
Who's the stiff?
I mean the one in the plaid coat.
Please check the audio link. When I clicked it, I got boilerplate news from that station, not Mark. Thanks!
After poking the 570 WSYR site, I found the correct link to the segment with Mark, here: https://www.iheart.com/podcast/98-Dave-Allen-On-570-WSYR-30301588/episode/mark-steyn-the-adorable-deplorable-tour-30508409/
I hope this helps.
Yes! Thanks for the link!
Seeing that bank of identically clad female Dems sitting solemnly in the House chamber made me think that they were Atwoodian Handmaids before Labor Day.
Caution: Objects clothed in the colour white appear bigger than they actually are
