The State of the Union address was just two weeks away, and, as WFB puts it, "there is ghoulish speculation about what he will say," given the Iran-Contra imbroglio and the attendant debacle in the senatorial elections. Our guests, old pros all, advise the President firmly to take a hard line, and Mr. Davidson advises him to take a really hard line ("I would say that instead of concerning himself solely with what is good in terms of his political perspective, I would say let's talk about the true state of the Union. And in doing that, one of the texts that I would advise him to look to is Jonathan Edwards's sermon about the sinners in the hands of an angry God, where he points out that sometimes you can sin a long time and not be brought to justice for it, but eventually it catches up with you. And I think we are in that position in terms of the federal deficit"). A lively fourhanded conversation that goes back and forth between political tactics and policy substance.
