    The State of the Union is F$%*ed
    Feb 25 2026
    Before you watch or listen, rate The Home Front 5 Stars and make sure others hear the good word! Today, Reed brings you an unvarnished look at Donald Trump's State of the Union address, why it's more of the same from everyone - MAGA is going to MAGA and the Democrats still don't know what game they're playing. He also discusses why polar opposites like California's Ro Khanna and Kentucky's Thomas Massie are proving that you can work across the aisle, and the ends of the political spectrum, to get things done.
