>> well, you know, every now and then, voters will throw a curveball. and like, you don't know what actually is going to happen. >> jimmy: yeah >> but last night, we -- it actually ended up, we knew what was gonna happen >> jimmy: yeah, you knew what was -- >> so -- so, you -- it's not hard, because voters do offer you surprises sometimes. but this was not surprising. >> jimmy: no and then, you have state of the union coverage tomorrow >> yes, tomorrow night tomorrow night big -- big opportunity for president biden. >> jimmy: what -- what number is this -- this for you, state of the union for you >> i think this is maybe the 25th that i've covered, the 25th of them >> jimmy: that's amazing, buddy. >> yeah. >> jimmy: congratulations.

>> well, he's hoping - >> jimmy: yes. >> -- to, you know, present his case the economy's doing better he's gonna have some -- probably some bad guys to go after. such as -- he's going after companies for shrinking, like, the size of cookies and stuff like that. did you see this, shrinkflation? [ light laughter ] like you pay the same, but the oreos are smaller. do you know about this >> jimmy: oh, yeah, i know what shrinkflation is yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah [ laughter ] >> no, i don't mean that >> jimmy: all too -- all too well >> i'm not referring - >> jimmy: all too well yeah, yeah ♪ >> i was in the pool >> jimmy: yeah, exactly. exactly right. >> no, no. but cookie monster weighed in on this. did you see this cookie monster on twitter was -- said something in opposition to -- to shrinkflation >> jimmy: i did see that i did see that >> it's true and frank oz, who's an original muppeteer, he was the voice of miss piggy and yoda. he -- he got mad he went on twitter and said like, "cookie monster should not be entering the political debate." [ laughter ] it's -- this really happened >> jimmy: he's -- he's got a a point there. yeah >> no, i -- i understand >> jimmy: but is -- is biden gonna talk about - 'cause one thing i would do if i was -- of course, i'm not advising the president, but i see all these headlines that the stock markets are breaking - >> yeah. >> -- these records. and it's the highest they've ever been. and -- and i go, "well, no one's really talking about

this." this - >> you know who's talking about it, actually donald trump last night talked about it, except he took credit for it he said it's because wall street thinks he's gonna be elected again in november, so the stock market is now going up because of him. >> jimmy: oh, is that right? [ light laughter ] >> yeah. >> jimmy: that's why it's up that's so good >> well, you gotta give him -- [ laughter ] >> jimmy: that's so good >> -- points for creativity. i would assume that biden is gonna talk about some of the good economic news while also acknowledging that, you know, food prices and rent are still too high, and he's still talking about that the big challenge that i think for him, and obviously for what republicans are hoping he does, is that he doesn't make any big mistakes because a lot of people are paying attention to his age, and concerned about his age. i've been covering him for 25 years, and -- >> jimmy: wow. >> -- this is a guy who, even when he was like, you know, youngish, was gaffe prone and long-winded. and like, you know, even then - >> jimmy: he was in his 50s. >> right [ light laughter ] even then, it would be like an open question, can he get through an hour's speech without stepping in it and now he's 81, so -- but last year, he had a really good moment, actually.

last year, he had a moment where, like, somebody heckled him on social security he was saying the republicans were going to raise -- or cut social security, medicare, and they booed him and he said, "oh, so --" he did a pivot, like, "you agree with me now great, we're making progress." something like that. >> jimmy: oh, that's good. >> so, he had a moment but, you know, i've got to imagine they're nervous at the white house right now. and that they're salivating at the republican national committee, hoping for a mistake. >> jimmy: i want to talk about the "united states of -- >> oh, yeah. >> jimmy: this is -- the "united states of scandal" - >> yes >> jimmy: -- is a six-part series i think it's genius, by the way. >> thank you so much just so you know, it's not airing this sunday, 'cause of the oscars, but the next sunday it's coming on >> jimmy: oh yeah, this sunday watch jimmy kimmel >> right, well - >> jimmy: jimmy kimmel -- yeah >> he's our boy. >> jimmy: yeah, he is our -- yeah [ light laughter ] we watch jimmy kimmel. yeah, we like him. >> but the sunday after that, we're gonna do mcgreevey these are -- these are - you know, a lot of things changed when donald trump came down that escalator in 2015. and we went back and looked at some of the scandals that were so huge before then -- sanford, and john edwards, and -- >> jimmy: spitzer. >> -- blagojevich and spitzer. interviewed major players and

sat down with them, tried to figure out what really happened and it's been -- it's been fun it's really fascinating. >> jimmy: it's all fascinating stuff. congrats on this i want to show a clip. here's jake tapper with former governor jim mcgreevey in the next episode of "united states of scandal." take a look at this. >> i didn't wake up and say, you know, "i'm going to be deceptive for the sake of deceiving. i'm gonna create this whole double-ledger. no, i didn't make that decision prior to the gubernatorial campaign i made it, like, at 7 or 8-years-old. ♪ i can remember this as if it were yesterday i go to my local public library, and i'm pulling out the card catalog looking for the word "homosexuality. and it said underneath, "see psychiatric illness. and it was just like, whew, this thing, at least then in america called "gay" wasn't a good thing i realized at that point in time that life is going to be a very painful trajectory if i own this and you just try to make an accommodation, albeit an unhealthy accommodation.
