another lesson for you first off if
you're new here and you have not yet
subscribed please remember to do that
we love our subscribers and we send you
new lessons every week to help you
understand real native English with TV
series and other funny clips today we
have a comedy video with President Obama
making fun of Trump and many people
actually believe this led Trump to run
for president first we will show you the
clip with subtitles then we will teach
you all of the most important vocabulary
grammar cultural notes and pronunciation
and then we will watch it a final time
without subtitles to test your
comprehension so without any further ado
let's jump into this comedy lesson with
Obama and Trump my fellow Americans as
some of you heard the state of Hawaii
released my official long-form birth
certificate hopefully that this puts all
doubts to rest but just in case there
are any lingering questions tonight I'm
prepared to go a step further
tonight for the first time I am
releasing my official birth video
[Music]
I want to make clear to the Fox News
table that was a joke
that was not my real birth video
that was a children's cartoon Donald
Trump is here tonight I know that he's
taken some flak lately but no one is
happier no one is prouder to put this
birth certificate matter to rest than
the Donald and that's because he can
finally get back to focusing on the
issues that matter like did we fake the
moon landing what really happened in
Roswell and where are Biggie and Tupac
say what you will about mr. Trump he
certainly would bring some change to the
White House
and then of course there's Donald Trump
Donald Trump has been saying that he
will run for president as a Republican
which is surprising since I just assumed
he was running as a joke
definite Trump often appears on Fox
which is ironic because the Fox often
appears on Donald Trump's head
[Applause]
if you're at the Washington Post table
with Trump and you can't finish your
entree don't worry the Fox will eat it
and if I can for a moment talk about the
birther issue when did we get so
suspicious about where people were born
a USA Today poll last week said 38% of
Americans think the president was
definitely born in the u.s. in the same
poll in the very same poll only 5% more
said Donald Trump was definitely born in
the US has it reached the point where
Americans only think something was hat
someone was born here if they saw it I
know I was born here and I know my
younger brother was born here but when
it comes to my older brother I can only
take him at his word Gary Busey said
recently that Donald Trump would make a
great president of course he said the
same thing about an old rusty birdcage
he found
Donald Trump owns the Miss USA pageant
which is great for Republicans because
it will streamline their search for a
vice president
Donald Trump said recently has a great
relationship with the blacks that one
less the blacks are a family of white
people
I bet he's mistaken
[Applause]
obviously at that moment you didn't know
his expression that night I didn't know
everybody else said I'm sure you've seen
this clips there's actually been
reporting in speculation that said the
ridicule he received that night gave him
more drive to prove everybody wrong and
run yeah i sincerest apologies everyone
if that's the case my fellow Americans
fellow student American worker etc use
the word fellow followed by persons job
common identity or description of what
they are doing to indicate that you and
that person are in the same position or
are doing the same thing to put
something to rest to stop people from
worrying about or believing something
example their smiling faces put the rest
the rumors that they were breaking up
the birth certificate controversy what
Obama put to rest was the crazy idea
with respect to his birth certificate
which Trump was very vocal about many
conservatives believe that Obama wasn't
really born in the United States which
would make him an illegitimate president
but right before this event he released
his official born in Hawaii USA birth
certificate but just in case there are
any lingering questions tonight I'm
prepared to go a step further linger if
something lingers it is persistent and
therefore it takes a long time to depart
for example if you have a lingering pain
it does not go away and it keeps
bothering you alluring question is a
question that keeps reappearing until
you find an answer for it examples the
learning question is whether he will run
for president or not I have a lingering
taste of beer in my mouth go a step
further to take one more determined
action to solve a problem or do
something example after many attempts to
have children failed they went two step
further and started the process to adopt
one wanna make clear to the Fox News
table that was a joke
I want to make clear to the Fox News
table that that was just a joke Fox News
is the most conservative news channel in
the USA
famous for supporting the Republican
Party in an exaggerated way and being
very critical of Obama who is a Democrat
or liberal and for spreading crazy
rumors that he wasn't really born in the
United States I know that he's taken
some flak lately to take flak to receive
strong criticism or get the blame for
something example the comedian took a
lot of flack after he told a racist joke
but no one is happier no one is prouder
to put this birth certificate matter to
rest than the Donald the Donald normally
you shouldn't use the article duh before
somebody's name but there are rare
exceptions like here which communicates
that somebody's famous or infamous did
we fake the moon landing did we fake the
moon landing to fake means to try to
make something look true or real when it
is not the moon landing refers to the
1969 arrival of a spacecraft on the
surface of the Moon which many believe
did not really happen it was fake what
really happened in Roswell this refers
to the Roswell UFO incident which is the
popular belief that an extraterrestrial
spacecraft crashed in Roswell New Mexico
in 1947 and we're all Biggie and Tupac
where are Biggie and Tupac biggie and
Tupac were very popular rappers in the
90s that had a heated rivalry that is
they hated each other they both died in
the mid 90s and some believe that a
member of each of their crews had a
responsibility in the others death even
to this day many conspiracy theorists
believe that they especially Tupac are
still alive and living in another
country both of these jokes refer to the
common belief that Trump believes in
conspiracy theories Hagan please
remember to Like and subscribe if you're
enjoying this video and before we show
you the clip a final time without
subtitles to test your comprehension I
was wondering you take a moment and give
me a quick piece of feedback if you've
watched our videos before do you prefer
the format where like today we give you
the clip again at the end without
subtitles or do you prefer when we leave
it off and you go back yourself and
watch it again if you could do this it
would help us out
lot to make these the best possible
lessons for you
thanks so much say what you will about
mr. Trump he certainly would bring some
change to the White House
say what you will but use for mentioning
a good quality of someone or something
that is not liked or approved by other
people example say what you will about
the new governor but ever since he's
taken office unemployment has dropped
significantly he certainly would bring
some changes to the white house the
Trump White House at Obama is imagining
with pink sign the rich men playing golf
and the models in the fountain makes fun
of Trump's rich 1980s personality and
sense of style with his hotels and
mansions which many consider a very poor
taste Donald Trump has been saying that
he will run for president as a
Republican to run for president this is
a collocation that means to compete as a
candidate in an election for a position
of authority and responsibility in a
government or other organization example
the two main candidates running for
president in 2016 were Clinton and Trump
Republican is the conservative political
party in the US which Trump belongs to
definite Trump often appears on Fox
which is ironic because the Fox often
appears on Donald Trump's head Donald
Trump often appears on Fox Fox is the
news channel we mentioned earlier but
it's also an animal this is humorous
because of trump's strange hair that
people commonly joke about ironic if
something is ironic or if there's irony
in something a situation is strange
because the opposite of what is expected
happens or is true example it's ironic
that her car was stolen at the police
station post table with Trump and you
can't finish your entree don't worry the
Fox will eat it on tray the main course
or dish of a meal when did we get so
suspicious about where people were born
suspicious feeling doubt or no trust in
someone or something example you feel
suspicious of the school that promised
their students fluency in six months has
it reached the point where Americans
only think something who has had someone
was born here if they saw it to reach a
point used to say that a situation comes
to a particular state especially one
that is bad or in pleasant example the
crisis reached a point where people were
really in danger of not being able to
get enough food I can only take him at
his word I can only take I can only take
him at his word
take someone at his or her word to trust
that what someone says is true based on
their words and not on any kind of
effort
example I lost track of how much he owed
me so when he told me it was $92 I took
him at his word Gary Busey said recently
that Donald Trump would make a great
president of course he said the same
thing about an old rusty birdcage he
found rusty birdcage rusty it means to
be covered in rust which is the
reddish-brown substance that forms on
iron or steel when it gets wet and
here's a birdcage the joke refers to the
fact that Gary Busey a famous but crazy
actor believes both Trump and a birdcage
would be make a grid president Donald
Trump owns the Miss USA pageant which is
great for Republicans because it will
streamline their search for a vice
president Miss USA pageant is a famous
American beauty contest which Trump
owned for a period of time there's much
controversy around the fact that Trump
was known to invade the women's dressing
rooms to streamline to make something
simpler more effective or more
productive example when they started to
streamline the process of new shirts
they'd hire 15 new employees Donald
Trump said recently has a great
relationship with the blacks though
unless the blacks are a family of white
people though unless the blacks are
family of white people a lot of people
believe Trump is racist against black
people so the joke is that Trump only
likes the blacks if black is the last
name of a white family I bet he's
mistaken
I bet he's mistaken there's actually
been reporting in speculation that said
the ridicule he received that night gave
him more drive to prove everybody wrong
and run to ridicule to receive ridicule
is to be teased or laughed at drive if
you have Drive you are determined to
accomplish something example his drive
to master the English language is
amazing prove someone wrong to show that
someone is wrong about their beliefs or
assumptions example everybody believed
the earth was flat until Galileo proved
them long
my fellow Americans some of you heard
the state of Hawaii released my official
long-form birth certificate hopefully
that this puts all doubts to rest but
just in case there are any lingering
questions tonight I'm prepared to go a
step further
tonight for the first time I am
releasing my official birth video
