In this episode of the Pardon My Parsing Political Podcast we look at the 1978 State of the Union Address by none other than the cardigan wearing Jimmy Carter. It is a truly surprising look back in time. 

On episode #2 we parse a speech by Lina Khan, Chair of the FTC, at a joint FTC and Department of Justice Event. Chair Khan wanted to make the case the labor is being hurt by large corporations, but the problem with her is timing is that it is currently very obvious that we are currently in a pro-labor market - where workers get to decide where they work, what they are paid, and what kind of working conditions that they have. 

Chair Khans speech becomes a 1/2 page outline after our parsing which makes it easy to discuss and address each of her points. 

In our first episode we breakdown a speech that President Biden used to push one of his top campaign promises - his Build Back Better and Infrastructure plan. 

While the speech was an hour long - our breakdown makes it easy to understand and discuss. 

The Pardon My Parsing Political Podcast is non-partisan in our breakdowns. And, whichever party is in the White House is likely to be the one that we focus on. Parsing these speeches out allows us to look closer at the facts - closer at the arguments - and remove the distractions of the niceties and political correctness that make political speeches to hard to follow.
