HEROES GET REMEMBERED.
BUT LEGENDS NEVER DIE.
>> Jesse: JOE BIDEN IS A LEGEND
IN HIS OWN MIND AND DOESN’T
THINK HE IS GOING ANYWHERE.
IT’S NOT LIKE HE LOST HIS FAST
BALL.
HE NEVER HAD ONE.
IS HE ALREADY A LAME DUCK.
THE MOST UNPOPULAR PRESIDENT OF
ALL TIME AND HE JUST CAUGHT
COVID.
MORE ON THAT IN A MOMENT.
AND IN A NEW QUINNIPIAC POLL,
71% OF AMERICANS ARE AGAINST
BIDEN RUNNING FOR A SECOND TERM.
WITH MORE THAN HALF OF DEMOCRATS
SAYING HE HAS GOT TO GO.
WITH FRIENDS LIKE THAT, WHO
NEEDS ENEMIES?
BECAUSE THOSE NUMBERS ARE AWFUL.
HIS OWN TEAMS IS TELLING HIM TO
GO HOME.
BUT, CAN YOU BLAME THEM?
EVERYTHING IS EXPENSIVE AND MORE
DANGEROUS.
THE COUNTRY IS A MESS.
THE FIRST LADY JUST CALLED
HISPANICS TACOS AND THAT WAS
AFTER HISPANICS STARTED DITCHING
THE PRESIDENT.
ONLY 19 PERCENT OF HISPANICS
APPROVE OF THE JOB JOE IS DOING.
AND ONLY 21% OF PLENELS APPROVE.
AND JOE’S POLICIES ARE CRIPPLING
BLACK AMERICANS.
>> I THINK FOR --
AFRICAN-AMERICAN VOTERS IN
PARTICULAR, THERE IS A SPECIAL
HEART BREAK BECAUSE, FIRST OF
ALL, THE PAIN IS MORE INTENSE.
YOU KNOW, THE RISING OF GAS
PRICES, FOOD PRICES, REALLY
WALLOP THE BLACK COMMUNITY IN A
PARTICULAR WAY, BUT THE HOPES
WERE SO MUCH HIGHER AND SO YOU
HAVE A COMMUNITY THAT CAME OUT
IN HUGE NUMBERS IN 2018, HUGE
NUMBERS IN 2020, EXPECTING
THINGS TO GET A LOT BETTER AND,
INSTEAD, ECONOMICALLY AT LEAST,
IT DIDN’T COME TRUE.
IT GOT WORSE.
AND SO, YOU ARE GOING THROUGH A
SUMMER NOW OF REAL HEART BREAK
WITH BLACK VOTERS.
THE POLLS SHOW THAT AND I THINK
BIDEN HAS GOT TO TAKE IT VERY
SERIOUSLY.
>> Jesse: JOEY’S BASE IS TOAST.
WHO DO THE DEMOCRATS TURN TO.
THEY HAVE A PRETTY WEAK BENCH.
BERNIE SANDERS IS A SOCIALIST.
HE HAS LOST TWICE.
MAYOR PETE IS TOO SHORT.
KIND OF IN OTHER WORDSY AND HAS
AND KAMALA HARRIS I DO EVEN NEED
TO GET INTO THAT.
GAVIN NEWSOM MIGHT LOOK GOOD
PLAYING PRESIDENT BUT HE IS NOT
SMART ENOUGH.
SO, IF NOT THEM, WHO?
MICHELLE OBAMA COINCIDENTALLY IS
REAPPEARING.
HITTING THE AIRWAVES TO PUSH HER
NEW BOOK AND TELL US HOW AWFUL
AMERICA HAS BECOME.
>> A LOT HAS HAPPENED.
WE HAVE SEEN A GLOBAL PANDEMIC.
WE HAVE SEEN INSURRECTION.
A RISING TIDE OF HATE AND
BIGOTRY AND INTOLERANCE AND A
WHOLE LOT MORE.
I HAVE SPOKEN TO A LOT OF LOVED ONES, MANY OF YOU ABOUT WHAT WE
ONES, MANY OF YOU ABOUT WHAT WE
ALL SEEM TO BE FACING WHAT WAS
RESULTEDRESULTED IN FROM THAT PR
THE NEW BOOK IT’S CALLED "THE
LIGHT WE CARRY."
I THINK OF IT AS KIND OF A
TOOLBOX.
>> Jesse: IS MICHIGAN SELL
SAYING SHE HAS THE TOOLS TO FIX
THE PROBLEMS PLAGUING AMERICA?
IT CERTAINLY SOUNDS LIKE IT.
WHY ELSE WOULD SHE BE WRITING A
NEW BOOK?
SHE DOESN’T NEED THE MONEY.
THIS BOOK SEEMS AWFULLY
POLITICAL.
MITCHELL’S LAST BOOK SOLD
17 MILLION COPIES IT WASN’T AS
GOOD AS "HOW I SAVED THE WORLD"
BUT YOU KNOW PEOPLE SEEMED TO
LIKE IT.
LET’S SAY SHE DID REALLY WELL IN
THE ROYALTY DEPARTMENT.
AND THAT’S ON TOP OF THE
$65 MILLION BOOK DEAL HER AND
BARACK SIGNED FOR THEIR MEMOIRS
IN 2017 THE PODCAST AGREEMENT
THEY INKED WITH POT SPY FOR
45 MILLION BEFORE JUMPING SHIP
TO AUDIBLE SINCE THEY COULDN’T
BE SEEN IN THE SAME ROOM AS JOE
ROGAN.
OR THEIR NETFLIX PRODUCTION PAC
THAT COULD ENEARN THEM UP TO
$15 MILLION FOR SOME BORING
DOCUMENTARIES.
WITH ALL THESE DEALS, I DON’T
THINK MICHELLE IS WRITING A BOOK
FOR BANK ACCOUNT.
ONE OF THE QUESTIONS I GET ASKED
A LOT BY FANS OR BY FRIENDS OR
CONSERVATIVE FAMILY MEMBERS, MY
IN-LAW’S, ONLY.
IS CAN I REACH ACROSS THE TABLE
AND PUNCH GERALDO IN THE FACE?
BUT THE SECOND QUESTION I GET IS
ALWAYS DO YOU THINK MICHELLE
OBAMA IS RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT?
I DON’T KNOW IF PEOPLE ARE
SCARED OF HER OR IF THEY’RE JUST
CURIOUS, BUT WOULD MICHELLE
OBAMA BE A FORMIDABLE
PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE?
WELL, SHE BURST ONTO THE SCENE
IN 2008 WITH HER HUSBAND BARACK
AND SHE IMMEDIATELY STUCK HER
FOOT IN HER MOUTH.
>> WHAT WE HAVE LEARNED OVER
THIS YEAR IS THAT HOPE IS MAKING
A COMEBACK.
IT IS MAKING A COMEBACK AND LET
ME TELL YOU SOMETHING FOR THE
FIRST TIME IN MY ADULT LIFETIME
I’M REALLY PROUD OF MY COUNTRY.
AND NOT JUST BECAUSE BARACK HAS
DONE WELL BUT BECAUSE I THINK
PEOPLE ARE HUNGRY FOR CHANGE.
>> Jesse: AFTER THAT COMMENT THE
OBAMA CAMPAIGN SIDELINED HER AND
SHE DIDN’T SAY MUCH AFTERWARDS.
BUT, HEY, AT LEAST SHE IS NOT
UNDER FEDERAL INVESTIGATION FOR
MONEY LAUNDERING LIKE THE BIDEN
FAMILY.
WHAT WAS ONE OF MICHELLE’S PET
PROJECTS AS FIRST LADY?
WELL, SHE REGULATED SCHOOL
LUNCHES.
REMEMBER?
>> JUST AS WE NO LONGER SMOKE OR
DRINK WHEN WE ARE PREGNANT.
JUST AS WE NO LONGER LET OUR
KIDS RIDE THEIR BIKES WITHOUT A
HELMET OR SIT IN THE BACK SEAT
OF THEIR CAR WITHOUT A CAR SEAT,
TODAY WE KNOW THAT WE CAN NO
LONGER LET OUR KIDS EAT WHATEVER
THEY WANT.
WE ARE ISSUING NEW SCHOOL
WELLNESS GUIDELINES TO HELP
BUILD HEALTHIER LEARNING
ENVIRONMENTS FOR OUR KIDS.
>> Jesse: BUT THE STUDENTS
DIDN’T REALLY LIKE WHAT MICHELLE
WAS SERVING.
>> I DO BRING LUNCH EVERY DAY.
>> YOU DO?
WHY?
>> BECAUSE I HATE THE SCHOOL
LUNCHES.
>> I DON’T REALLY LIKE THE
SCHOOL LUNCH FOOD THAT MUCH.
>> I HAVE TRIED A LOT OF THEIR
THINGS.
AND I HATE THEM ALL.
>> IT WAS LIKE A GIANT PLASTIC
HOT DOG.
>> CAN YOU DESCRIBE THEIR MEAT?
>> CHEWY, TASTES BAD.
>> Jesse: ALL THOSE STUDENTS ARE
NOW REGISTERED REPUBLICANS.
THEY NEVER FORGOT.
SHE DID DO SOMETHING THAT
"PRIMETIME" AGREED WITH.
SHE TRIED TO GET KIDS TO
EXERCISE AND EAT MORE
VEGETABLES.
>> DO YOU KNOW HOW YOU SAVE
BROCCOLI IN SPANISH?
HOW DO YOU SAY IT.
>> BROCCOLI.
[LAUGHTER]
>> THAT’S EXCELLENT.
THESE ARE ALL GOOD FOODS AND WE
ARE GOING TO HELP KIDS LEARN TO
LOVE ALL THE FRUITS AND
VEGETABLES.
>> YEAH?
>> WE ACTUALLY HAVE MANY OF
THESE FRUITS AND VEGETABLES
GROWING IN OUR WHITE HOUSE
KITCHEN GARDEN.
LET’S GET IT DONE.
LET’S MOVE.
>> LET’S GET IT DONE.
>> LET’S MOVE.
LET’S MOVE.
>> Jesse: MAYBE IF WE HAD ALL
EATEN OUR VEGGIES AND MOVED
AROUND MORE CODY WOULDN’T HAVE
HIT US AS HARD.
SHE LOVED HER LITTLE WHITE HOUSE
GARDEN.
IT’S WHERE BARACK USED TO GO OUT
AND SNEAK A CIGARETTE.
IT WAS CUTE.
MELANIA USED TO MOVE CABBAGES
AROUND AND MICHELLE GOT ANGRY.
WASN’T THE FIRST TIME SHE GOT
ANGRY FIRST LADY.
REMEMBER WHEN SHE TOOK HILLARY
DOWN A PEG IN 2008.
>> ONE OF THE THINGS, IMPORTANT
ASPECTS OF THIS RACE IS ROLE
MODELING WHAT GOOD FAMILIES
SHOULD LOOK LIKE.
IN MY VIEW IS THAT IF YOU CAN’T
RUN YOUR OWN HOUSE, YOU
CERTAINLY CAN’T RUN THE WHITE
HOUSE.
CAN’T DO IT. >> Jesse: OH, HOW DO YOU SALEH
>> Jesse: OH, HOW DO YOU SALEH
WEN SKI WITHOUT SAYING LA WEN
SKI.
DOES MITCHELL HAVE WHAT IT TAKES
TO RUN FOR PRESIDENT?
WHAT’S STOPPING HER?
MAYBE IT’S HER HATRED OF THE
WHITE HOUSE.
>> WE ARE IN THE WHITE HOUSE AND
WHEN YOU ARE IN THE RESIDENCE,
THERE IS SO MUCH BULLET PROOF
GLASS THAT SOMETIMES YOU DON’T
HEAR WHAT’S GOING ON OUTSIDE.
IT’S NOT THAT EASY TO GET OUT OF
THE WHITE HOUSE WHEN YOU ARE IN
IT.
I’M JUST THINKING I’M GOING TO
IRAQ WAS OUT.
SO WE GO TO THE DOOR AND THE
DOOR IS LOCKED.
THEY ARE LOOK MA’AM, WHERE ARE
YOU GOING?
I SAID I’M GOING OUT.
THEY ARE CALLING MORE PEOPLE.
SHE IS TRYING TO GET OUT.
>> Jesse: SO SHE IS NOT A FAN OF
THE WHITE HOUSE.
WHEN SHE WAS THERE, RACE WAS ON
HER MIND.
>> I WAKE UP EVERY MORNING IN A
HOUSE THATS WITH BUILT BY
SLAVES.
[CHEERS]
AND WHEN I WATCHED MY DAUGHTERS,
TWO BEAUTIFUL INTELLIGENT BLACK
YOUNG WOMEN PLAYING WITH THEIR
DOGS ON THE WHITE HOUSE LAWN.
>> Jesse: IF MICHELLE DID RUN
FOR OFFICE, DOES SHE KNOW
ANYTHING ABOUT POLICY?
I’M NOT TRYING TO PUT HER DOWN
BUT WHAT IS MICHELLE OBAMA’S
POSITION ON CHINESE TERRIFIES?
DOES MICHELLE OBSERVE THINK WE
NEED TO BREAK UP BIG TECH.
TELL US HOW CORPORATE TAX POLICY
WOULD AFFECT THE DEFICIT.
WOULD WE BE GETTING A YOUNGER
FEMALE VERSION OF JOE BIDEN WHO
JUST GETS PUT IN FRONT OF A
TELEPROMPTER AND TOLD WHAT TO
SAY BY ADVISERS?
WOULD BARACK OBAMA, THE FIRST
GENTLEMAN BE RUNNING EVERYTHING?
AND WOULD HILLARY BE SO UPSET
THAT MICHELLE BROKE THE GLASS
CEILING THAT SHE WOULD DO WHAT
THE CLINTONS DO?
IT OPENS UP A LOT OF INTERESTING
SCENARIOS BECAUSE MANY PEOPLE
ARE SAYING IT LOOKS LIKE
MICHELLE OBAMA COULD BE MAKING
