Published: March 2, 2022, 1:07 p.m.

Hour 1 -  Nick Reed talks about a variety of topics in the news, including:  We have a KSGF Happy Hour this Friday! Join us from 4 to 6 p.m. at Whiskey Tango! President Biden held his State of the Union last night. We listened to the SOTU so you didn't have to.  At least three members of the “Squad” sat in their seats when President Biden promised to fund the police and denounced the radical “defund the police” movement that once seemed mainstream in the Democratic Party. Biden claimed that the Republican tax cuts that former President Trump signed in 2017 benefited "the top 1% of Americans" but not "working people," unlike his American Rescue Plan, but various studies on the tax cuts tell a far different story. Biden said his plan to fight inflation is to “lower your costs, not your wages,” during his first State of the Union address on Tuesday. Biden also talked about COVID.
