I agree with his assessment as well. However, I really do not think he should comment on stuff like this. It just does not seem very "presidential" to me.
I think there was a lot of us that went to bed after the headlines, jaywalking, etc. That's probably why they moved it to the end of the show. I, for one, will stay up to see.
This does not really matter since none of us really exist. We are just binary code running on a computer somewhere. The world was destroyed by aliens at the end of WW2. The aliens rescued the consciousness of all mankind at the time and installed it in a computer. The thing that I find amazing is that the program allows us to reproduce in this virtual environment.
