  <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;This week, Fritz has some criticisms.&lt;/strong&gt; With President Trump's record breaking in length State of the Union address, Fritz looks briefly over the history and the purpose of the State of the Union address.

  <description>&lt;p&gt;Fritz returns with a brand new Fall of Sanity episode opening with a good talk about the recent snow and ice storm he expeirenced. Many areas that were impacted still remain a large, outdoor skating rink. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The conversation then blends to ICE, especially the recent unfolding of events in MN and the messaging from administration. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Finally, a small conversation about AI. &lt;/p&gt;
