Let's get to the blast bash would just stated -- come.

-- told radio news service just stand up -- anything -- media's gonna react to President Obama senator rubio and I guess the antibody response to it.

Well judging by past actions that kind of writes itself.

We know that even if Obama ends up falling asleep mid speech the media still going to get a pretty positive past they're gonna say that of course that it was -- You know strong and powerful components that everything needed to say.

But more interestingly of course is going to be how they respond to rubio and Rand Paul.

Both of those gentlemen are potential 2016 contenders -- a little less so for Rand Paul and we know that when a threat emerges for a democratic president.

The media sort of tries to taken out -- -- you know nothing we obviously saw on 2012 with Mitt Romney and that's something that we saw.

I'm in terms of response is from the GOP in 2009 when.

Bodies -- -- went out in the entire media focused on his sort of mister Rogers asked delivery as they called it.

And not really what you're saying.

But.

Do you know in all of these things just didn't delivery Edna and did in the world in which we live.

The TV world appearance is.

Is as important as anything as I guess Richard Nixon find that I have -- -- in the presidential debate solar -- -- -- and it's been so ever since is it is emphatic criticized for the media for saying he doesn't deliver well.

I'm one of -- necessarily that critical but I think the way that they portrayed it was a little bit overblown.

You know I've seen a number of Bobby Jindal speeches.

That was -- anything out of the ordinary it may just be that he's not necessarily the greatest speech giver.

Around but still that was the main focus and there was no attempt to really try to have a sort of serious conversation about what he's trying to say it became an instant punch line.

And I think that just sort of did a disservice.

All right so what do you expect awakening here tonight -- just -- we know that former speechwriters on whether this will.

Be an appeal for unity or whether it will practically speaking.

Be more divisive what what which way do you think we are going to interpret the speech is perhaps the best way of putting it.

It's going to be pretty interesting this is going to be Obama's first post election speech where he really doesn't have much to worry about anymore.

I'm but I think that says he doesn't have anything to worry about yes -- on one hand has the ability.

To go out and get sort of a progressive barn burning speech I don't think we're gonna see that I think we're gonna see him.

I'm sort of comfortable in his role as as a commander in chief and try to -- sort of a uniting moment.

Whether another -- -- gonna do anything.

I don't I was gonna say we can't say that we know it's not gonna do anything -- and does this sort of expecting I think he realizes that.

He has to sort of moved towards you know greater sort of understanding at this point there needs to be cooperation especially she's trying to achieve such great things like climate change immigration reform.

And I don't think he can really risk a you know major full force attack against Republicans.

Given the state of politics Justine do you expect we will see.

Any.

A speech in which the president is politely received.

I've been this strong applause from both sides -- do you think this is one in which we will see the right hand side and I mean not politically speaking.

Sitting on -- -- a great deal during this speech.

I nobody can say for sure I think you know there'll be customary clapping and whatnot.

One of the great things that a lot of people are one of the big -- that people are looking out for is sort of a Joseph Wilson moment if it is new represented as who have been sort of -- browsers in the past we'll try to make a scene.

-- we know that the Republican leadership is of course discouraging that.

But they've showed time and time again that they don't really necessarily hold the Republican leadership in high esteem so I wouldn't be surprised if we.

You know -- talking tomorrow about something else besides jobs and 88.

You know Nunn and congressman trying to -- -- from self.

Tomorrow I think we shall see Justin -- of a -- radio news service with the -- -- bash great to see Justin thank you very much indeed.

I've just another is of course can be -- to 301130 PM eastern on Saturdays.

On FOX News Watch host stated by.

John's got a way to take -- thanks Justin great to see it.
