Tune in here to this Friday edition of The Brett Winterble Show!
We’re joined by Father Bill Nicholas to talk about the evolving spectacle of the State of the Union address and the deeper constitutional questions surrounding how America governs itself. Father Bill walks Brett through the surprisingly restrained origins of the address, from written reports read by clerks to its modern transformation into a televised political event complete with applause lines, protests, and viral moments. The conversation traces how presidents from George Washington to Woodrow Wilson shaped the tradition, and why it now resembles more of a political show than a constitutional requirement.
