All eyes will be on Washington tomorrow as President Trump delivers his first State of the Union address. The speech historically sets the political tone for the year, so politicians and civilians alike are waiting to see what 2018 will have in store. Emma Vigeland, Politics Producer at The Young Turks, and Jenna Browder, Correspondent at CBN, discuss what to expect from the president's speech. They both agree that while the President will be on prompter, it's unlikely he will stick entirely to script. Not everyone in Congress plans on attending tomorrow night's event. Eight Congressional Democrats including Rep. John Lewis (D-MD) and Maxine Waters (D-CA) are boycotting the State of the Union. Vigeland and Browder debate whether Democrats are in the wrong for not showing up.

Embattled Fed Gov. Lisa Cook says she’ll sue Trump to keep her job
Federal Reserve Gov. Lisa Cook's lawyer says she'll sue President Donald Trump's administration to try to prevent him from firing her. Longtime Washington attorney Abbe Lowell said Tuesday that Trump “has no authority to remove” Cook. If Trump succeeds in removing Cook from the Fed's board of governors, it could erode the Fed’s political independence, which is considered critical to its ability to fight inflation because it enables the Fed to take unpopular steps like raising interest rates. The Republican president said Monday he was removing Cook because of allegations she committed mortgage fraud. Cook was appointed by Democratic President Joe Biden in 2022 and says she won't step down.
