I 3 00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:27,480 Speaker 1: am having a fucking time here. It is extraordinary. The 4 00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:34,560 Speaker 1: energy is palpable, the excitement is electric the past couple 5 00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:38,600 Speaker 1: of days here and I'm recording this just starting day three, 6 00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:42,960 Speaker 1: So this is going to be a recap of the 7 00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:50,559 Speaker 1: Obamas of Doug em Hoff speeches that were extraordinary. I 8 00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:53,559 Speaker 1: I'm going to start off this podcast by saying, y'all 9 00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:59,480 Speaker 1: that mustard seed of hope has moved from a garden 10 00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:03,920 Speaker 1: to a meadow. Right now. I feel in my spirit, 11 00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:07,560 Speaker 1: in my bones that we are going to win, and 12 00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:11,760 Speaker 1: not just when we are going to demolish Donald Trump 13 00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:15,720 Speaker 1: and MAGA. There is something, and it was said by 14 00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:21,600 Speaker 1: Hillary Clinton on Night one, there is something going on. 15 00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:25,360 Speaker 1: And it is not just here in Chicago where I 16 00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:29,040 Speaker 1: am right now, but it is happening around the country. 17 00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:37,440 Speaker 1: The energy that people have, the hopefulness, the possibility, the patriotism, okay, 18 00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:44,520 Speaker 1: that people are feeling around this candidate, around Vice President 19 00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:51,640 Speaker 1: Kamala Harris, around Tim Walls. It is extraordinary. And I'll 20 00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:54,960 Speaker 1: be honest, I did not feel this in twenty sixteen. 21 00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:59,720 Speaker 1: While I liked Hillary Clinton, I was not in love 22 00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:03,360 Speaker 1: with Hillary Clinton the way that I loved the Obamas. 23 00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:09,880 Speaker 1: I was not, you know, overcome. I wanted to experience history, 24 00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:12,320 Speaker 1: which is why I went to the DNC in twenty sixteen. 25 00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:15,920 Speaker 1: I wanted a woman to become president, and I know 26 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:19,400 Speaker 1: that Hillary Clinton at that time was the most qualified 27 00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:24,880 Speaker 1: candidate to ever run for the presidency. At the same time, 28 00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:28,920 Speaker 1: I just you know, it wasn't the same vibe. But 29 00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:32,240 Speaker 1: also the country was in a completely different place. We 30 00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:35,639 Speaker 1: were coming off eight years of Obama, thinking that oh, 31 00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:40,040 Speaker 1: this bravy train just gonna keep rolling, and it didn't. 32 00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:42,800 Speaker 1: Not only did it stop, the whole shit was overturned 33 00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:47,120 Speaker 1: and set on fire and introduced maga and darkness for 34 00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:52,520 Speaker 1: the next eight to nine years. So when we are 35 00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:59,120 Speaker 1: watching and experiencing this convention, it is a reclamation of 36 00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:04,320 Speaker 1: our patriotism and our power, not just as Democrats but 37 00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:09,480 Speaker 1: as Americans. Because I've said this on so many shows 38 00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:12,600 Speaker 1: and over so many years now, we have ceded too 39 00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:17,880 Speaker 1: much fucking ground to the Republicans. We've allowed them to 40 00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:21,400 Speaker 1: have a monopoly on faith, We've allowed them to have 41 00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:25,200 Speaker 1: a monopoly on family values. We've allowed them to have 42 00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:31,480 Speaker 1: a monopoly on patriotism right, when in fact they could 43 00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:34,920 Speaker 1: give a fuck about your family. They don't even care 44 00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:39,880 Speaker 1: about their own. Evidence by Donald Trump and his inability 45 00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:43,440 Speaker 1: to form any type of emotional feelings towards his actual 46 00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:48,680 Speaker 1: fucking children, right, as evidence by jd Vance who went 47 00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:52,720 Speaker 1: on Fox News to apologize for his wife not being white. 48 00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:58,960 Speaker 1: It is evident who really cares about all families? Right? 49 00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:04,920 Speaker 1: Who really cares about faith? When you allow people to 50 00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:09,120 Speaker 1: exercise their faith in any which way that they choose. 51 00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:13,560 Speaker 1: It is evident that when you are working to build 52 00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:21,280 Speaker 1: a multiracial coalition of people who want to see the 53 00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:27,280 Speaker 1: American dream be possible, not just for themselves but for everyone, 54 00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:33,000 Speaker 1: that is what patriotism looks like. One speech after the other, 55 00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:38,560 Speaker 1: dear friends, over the last couple of days has been 56 00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:46,680 Speaker 1: a reminder of the stark differences between Democrats and Republicans. One. 57 00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:51,719 Speaker 1: It is evidenced just by looking in the crowds. Which 58 00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:56,120 Speaker 1: convention do you want to be at? Because the RNC 59 00:04:56,800 --> 00:05:00,919 Speaker 1: look like a fucking wake right, it look like a 60 00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:06,760 Speaker 1: handmaid's tail fucking rally. There was not a person of 61 00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:11,200 Speaker 1: color in sight. You know, You had these people mimicking 62 00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:18,400 Speaker 1: their so called leader with taping Maxi pads to their ears. 63 00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:25,160 Speaker 1: They look stupid, they looked foolish, and it was a mess. 64 00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:29,400 Speaker 1: Hulk Hogan on the stage ripping off his shirt, washed 65 00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:34,200 Speaker 1: up rock stars singing their washed out songs. If that's 66 00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:38,120 Speaker 1: what they think America like makes America great, you can 67 00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:43,360 Speaker 1: keep that shit to yourself. Then change the channel and 68 00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:48,279 Speaker 1: you're at the DNC and our role call set the 69 00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:52,480 Speaker 1: place on fire. First of all, I mean shout out 70 00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:58,080 Speaker 1: to who planned this change of the role call with 71 00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:01,839 Speaker 1: bringing out and I think it's d Nice. Who is 72 00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:08,320 Speaker 1: the DJ that is dropping beats for every state? Little 73 00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:16,120 Speaker 1: John folks, little John reppin' Georgia singing from the windows 74 00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:20,680 Speaker 1: to the walls. I mean, come the fuck on, you 75 00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:24,799 Speaker 1: don't get better than that, right, You had New York 76 00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:30,599 Speaker 1: with Jay Z and Alicia Key's Empire state of Mind. 77 00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:36,720 Speaker 1: You had California with three songs My Highlight not like 78 00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:42,279 Speaker 1: Us by Kendrick Lamar. I mean, we came armed to 79 00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:49,560 Speaker 1: the teeth with joy. And when Morning Joe rolled out 80 00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:54,599 Speaker 1: a video on their social media that said a tale 81 00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:58,320 Speaker 1: of two roll calls, and you looked at the R 82 00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:02,520 Speaker 1: and C in comparison to the DNC, I mean America. 83 00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:06,240 Speaker 1: The choice is clear, right, what do you want your 84 00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:09,279 Speaker 1: future to look like? Because I'm sure as hell don't 85 00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:16,760 Speaker 1: want that not to mention that after the roll call 86 00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:22,760 Speaker 1: is done that we then zoom out from Chicago and 87 00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:28,760 Speaker 1: head over to another stadium that is filled in Milwaukee 88 00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:35,320 Speaker 1: where the Vice president and Governor Walls are for a rally. 89 00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:41,440 Speaker 1: So you want to talk about who can pack stadiums, 90 00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:45,880 Speaker 1: The Harris Walls team packed two at the same fucking time. 91 00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:52,560 Speaker 1: You cannot make this stuff up. And let me tell 92 00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:58,640 Speaker 1: you Barack Obama and that fucking slick dick joke that 93 00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:03,800 Speaker 1: he told about crowd size. I like to lose my 94 00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:09,000 Speaker 1: mind inside of that arena alongside everybody else because the 95 00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:12,680 Speaker 1: cackles and the gasps and the oh no, he fucking 96 00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:19,120 Speaker 1: didn't was like echoed around that space. Let me just 97 00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:21,520 Speaker 1: say this before I get into the Obamas, because they 98 00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:25,760 Speaker 1: are worthy of their own like you know, however many 99 00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:29,080 Speaker 1: minutes I can deliver, But let me talk to you 100 00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:35,080 Speaker 1: first about the second gentleman. Doug em Off. First of all, 101 00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:39,760 Speaker 1: the video that introduced him to the stage that his 102 00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:46,440 Speaker 1: children put together brought absolute tears to my eyes. Their 103 00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:56,440 Speaker 1: love story, their family love story was beautiful, the perspective 104 00:08:56,679 --> 00:09:02,439 Speaker 1: of their children and what it means to have a beautiful, big, 105 00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:08,560 Speaker 1: blended family. That's America. You don't need to have birth 106 00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:15,720 Speaker 1: children to be a mother, You don't need to share 107 00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:21,720 Speaker 1: blood with people to create a family. And there are 108 00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:28,480 Speaker 1: so many machinations of family that we have in this country. 109 00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:38,920 Speaker 1: And so for the Republican Party to try and say that, well, 110 00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:43,760 Speaker 1: man and woman and two point five kids and only 111 00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:49,600 Speaker 1: dogs we shoot and kill evidently is insane. And I 112 00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:57,800 Speaker 1: just I have to say that I have a stepfather, right, 113 00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:04,120 Speaker 1: I have friends that I consider my family, right, that 114 00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:10,160 Speaker 1: I spend holidays with. The beauty of this country is 115 00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:15,600 Speaker 1: that we all get to make our way right. It's 116 00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:21,560 Speaker 1: not prescribed, and no it is not perfect, but it 117 00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:27,480 Speaker 1: is ours to make. And so his story of their love, 118 00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:31,440 Speaker 1: how they built their family of just allowing us a 119 00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:38,440 Speaker 1: little window into who he is. I tweeted this that night, 120 00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:43,960 Speaker 1: and I said, this is what masculinity looks like. To 121 00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:48,959 Speaker 1: love your kids, to love your wife, to stand up 122 00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:53,000 Speaker 1: for what's right, because we, for too long have been 123 00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:58,679 Speaker 1: fed nothing but a steady diet of toxic masculinity and misogyny, 124 00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:03,640 Speaker 1: having us believe that ripping your shirt off and you know, 125 00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:09,760 Speaker 1: demeaning and dehumanizing other people is what makes you strong. Right. 126 00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:17,320 Speaker 1: The comparison, the start, comparison to what true partnership should 127 00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:24,400 Speaker 1: look like is what Doug m Hoff offered the American people, 128 00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:28,800 Speaker 1: and that's what we should strive for. There were so 129 00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:33,040 Speaker 1: many similarities in terms of you know, a writer and 130 00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:37,120 Speaker 1: feminist Jill Philipvit. She tweeted and said, so the theme 131 00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:39,920 Speaker 1: of that night that Doug m Hoff and the Obama 132 00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:44,640 Speaker 1: spoke were was men that married well, because you don't 133 00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:48,320 Speaker 1: need to be in relationship with somebody that has you 134 00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:52,840 Speaker 1: shrink your light in order to focus on them. But 135 00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:57,560 Speaker 1: that's what Republicans would have you believe. Marriage is supposed 136 00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:01,080 Speaker 1: to look like little woman staying at home, keeping our 137 00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:05,520 Speaker 1: fucking mouth shut, uterus full, and dinner on the table. 138 00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:11,959 Speaker 1: That's that nineteen fifties, nineteenth century bullshit that they want 139 00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:19,079 Speaker 1: to offer up in Project twenty twenty five. I tell 140 00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:25,440 Speaker 1: you that there isn't a clearer vision of who the 141 00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:30,080 Speaker 1: country is and can be than what we have been 142 00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:35,679 Speaker 1: seeing over the last couple of days. And so with that, 143 00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:40,320 Speaker 1: let me transition to what had me leave my body 144 00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:47,559 Speaker 1: as a spiritual experience, which was our forever flowtus. Michelle 145 00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:56,480 Speaker 1: missed me with the bullshit Obama Lord. That speech is 146 00:12:56,559 --> 00:13:02,480 Speaker 1: going to be studied in schools. It was the best 147 00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:06,720 Speaker 1: political speech I have ever heard in my entire life, 148 00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:10,880 Speaker 1: Not just the best one that Michelle Obama gave, but 149 00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:15,480 Speaker 1: the best one I have ever fucking heard. For years, zup, 150 00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:23,280 Speaker 1: I have wanted Democrats to fight back, to take on 151 00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:29,880 Speaker 1: the bully because we are fucking better, and all they 152 00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:36,840 Speaker 1: do is fucking gripe and wine. Michelle Obama drag Donald 153 00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:42,640 Speaker 1: Trump for fucking filth. She called that man small. I 154 00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:48,559 Speaker 1: don't know how many fucking times. Narrow talked about the 155 00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:52,559 Speaker 1: affirmative action of generational wealth that the rest of us 156 00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:56,839 Speaker 1: will never benefit from, talking about the multiple chances that 157 00:13:56,920 --> 00:14:01,360 Speaker 1: these motherfuckers get to fail up right, where most of 158 00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:05,840 Speaker 1: us will only get one chance if that. She talked 159 00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:11,000 Speaker 1: about the fact that we do not need to get 160 00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:16,640 Speaker 1: ourselves locked in this quote unquote Goldie locks ideology where 161 00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:20,960 Speaker 1: everything has to be just right, otherwise we sit around 162 00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:25,200 Speaker 1: and wring our hands. No, Michelle Obama took us to 163 00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:29,720 Speaker 1: fucking school and church and to the moon and back. 164 00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:36,880 Speaker 1: She talked about MAGA, she talked about Trump, She talked 165 00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:40,520 Speaker 1: about who we are and that they do not get 166 00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:44,440 Speaker 1: to have a monopoly on what it means to be 167 00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:49,760 Speaker 1: an American. And I have told y'all that my patriotism 168 00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:54,320 Speaker 1: has grown by leaps and bounds. It is restored. I 169 00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:59,840 Speaker 1: feel regenerated over this last month because I seated ground 170 00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:03,000 Speaker 1: to those people that told me that I should be 171 00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:07,320 Speaker 1: ashamed and embarrassed by this country, that I don't belong 172 00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:13,360 Speaker 1: here no more. I was at an event with HRC 173 00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:18,680 Speaker 1: and Planned Parenthood. HRC Human Rights Campaign is an LGBTQ 174 00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:25,320 Speaker 1: national organization, Planned Parenthood you all know, reproductive health organization, 175 00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:32,280 Speaker 1: and we were chanting usay, USA, usay at that event 176 00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:36,920 Speaker 1: like we were at the fucking Olympics. Because that's how 177 00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:44,400 Speaker 1: people are feeling. They don't get to claim patriotism, they 178 00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:48,320 Speaker 1: don't get to own it and own this flag. We 179 00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:53,560 Speaker 1: are taking that back. And as Michelle Obama said, hope 180 00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:59,160 Speaker 1: is making a comeback. And I have never felt more energized, 181 00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:03,440 Speaker 1: more static, more on fire than I have over the 182 00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:06,080 Speaker 1: last four weeks. And I cannot believe that it has 183 00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:08,560 Speaker 1: only been a month, because while I can't believe it 184 00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:11,160 Speaker 1: has been a month, it also feels like four fucking 185 00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:16,200 Speaker 1: years have passed. We are living in an extraordinary time, folks, 186 00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:23,160 Speaker 1: This is an extraordinary time. We have such incredible opportunity 187 00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:27,880 Speaker 1: in this moment to create a new path and vision 188 00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:32,800 Speaker 1: for America that has America live up to the possibility 189 00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:38,320 Speaker 1: of who it can be, the Unfinished Promise. As Michelle 190 00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:45,880 Speaker 1: Obama said, the Obamas sixteen years ago made us rethink 191 00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:50,800 Speaker 1: who is supposed to be president, who this country belongs to. 192 00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:58,520 Speaker 1: They opened up our eyes, our hearts, our sense of hope, 193 00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:01,880 Speaker 1: and they did it again here by telling us that 194 00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:06,800 Speaker 1: it is each of our jobs to protect Kamala Harris 195 00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:09,639 Speaker 1: because they are going to come for her in the 196 00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:13,840 Speaker 1: way that they came for the Obamas. And what do 197 00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:16,920 Speaker 1: we have to do, as she said, and as the arena, 198 00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:21,280 Speaker 1: chanted do something. We are not going to sit around 199 00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:24,320 Speaker 1: and wring our hands because we do not have time 200 00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:29,680 Speaker 1: for anxiety. We do not have time to allow negativity 201 00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:34,800 Speaker 1: to take over us. This is our fucking time. This 202 00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:39,440 Speaker 1: is our country, and we are going to take it back, 203 00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:45,000 Speaker 1: village by village, city by city, and state by fucking state. 204 00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:49,320 Speaker 1: I believe in the possibility of this moment. I believe 205 00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:54,920 Speaker 1: that the people are energized. We have less than seventy 206 00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:59,720 Speaker 1: six days to go, and we have to do everything 207 00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:03,160 Speaker 1: we can can every day that we can in order 208 00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:08,040 Speaker 1: to get the Harris Wolls ticket over the finish line 209 00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:13,199 Speaker 1: with numbers that can't be suppressed with their bullshit. It 210 00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:18,640 Speaker 1: is on us that is it for me today, Dear 211 00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:22,800 Speaker 1: friends on Woke af AS always, power to the people 212 00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:26,800 Speaker 1: and to all the people.
