>> YEAH, ABSOLUTELY.
FIRST OF ALL, I’D LIKE TO COSIGN
EVERYTHING RACHEL MADDOW JUST
SAID BECAUSE I AGREE.
TO GO TO PRESIDENT OBAMA FOR A
MOMENT I WAS LOOKING TO -- TO
WRITE BOOK ABOUT HIS SPEECHES.
SO PRESIDENT OBAMA CAN BE A
POET.
THERE’S A KIND OF SPEECH HE
GIVES PARTICULARLY HIS EULOGIES
THAT ARE ALL POETRY AND TAKE YOU
THROUGH THESE EMOTIONAL CHORDS
OF AMERICAN HISTORY.
HE’S A WRITER SO HE SPEAKS AS A
WRITER AND PARTICIPATES IN
WRITING HIS SPEECH WHICH IS
UNUSUAL FOR A POLITICIAN.
AND HE HAS THIS POETIC AND
ALMOST DRAMATIC SORT OF SENSE.
THAT WAS NOT THE KIND OF SPEECH
HE GAVE TONIGHT.
THIS WAS PRESIDENT OBAMA SAYING
I SAT IN THAT OFFICE AND I WANT
YOU TO LISTEN TO ME BECAUSE I’M
WARNING YOU BECAUSE I KNOW IT
FROM INSIDE THE JOB THAT THERE’S
A DANGER HERE.
THIS WAS THE SPEECH THAT OBAMA
HAS GIVEN THROUGHOUT ALL OF THE
SPEECHES I’VE READ OR WATCHED
THAT ABSOLUTELY DID FEEL LIKE
THE MOST OF A WARNING.
AND I THINK IT WAS WARNING ABOUT
THE POTENTIAL END OF AMERICA.
AND THAT SEEMS DRAMATIC WHEN
PEOPLE SAY IT AND PEOPLE THROW
AROUND IF WE HAVE FOUR MORE
YEARS OF TRUMP THE COUNTRY WILL
END, BUT THERE IS A FUNDAMENTAL
SENSE THAT IF YOU BREAK EVERY
INSTITUTION THAT MADE IT
POSSIBLE FOR THERE TO BE A
BARACK OBAMA IT WILL END.
YOU KNOW, IT’LL BE ANOTHER
THING.
I THINK HIS SPEECH WAS
IMPORTANT.
I THINK IT’S ONE OF THE MOST
IMPORTANT SPEECHES I’VE EVER
HEARD HIM GIVE.
ON KAMALA HARRIS, AGAIN, I WILL
AGREE WITH RACHEL MADDOW.
SHE IS EXTREMELY NICE.
SO I THINK THE HARD CHARGING
TOUGH PERSON THAT WE’RE USED TO
SEEING RIP APART BILL BARR IS
THE KIND OF PERSON WE’RE USED
TO, BUT SHE’S ALSO CAPABLE OF
JUST BEING THIS.
AND HER STORY ABOUT HER MOM WAS
SO POIGNANT TO ME.
PERSONALLY I LOST MY MOM TO
CANCER WHICH THE PART I NEED A
KLEENEX BECAUSE LOSING YOUR MOM
AND NOT HAVING A MOM WITH YOU
DURING THESE BIG MOMENTS IN YOUR
LIFE WHEN YOU’RE ACHIEVING BIG
THINGS IS SO PERSONAL, THAT FOR
A POLITICIAN TO EXPLAIN THAT AND
TO SHARE THAT WITH THE PUBLIC
IT’S SOMETHING BARACK OBAMA ALSO
UNDERSTANDS AND DEALT WITH.
AND I THINK THE PAIN POLITICIANS
BRINGS TO THE TABLE IS WHAT
MAKES THEM EMPATHETIC AND MAKES
THEM REAL.
JOE BIDEN HAS EXACTLY THE SAME
ABILITY TO CHANNEL THE PERSONAL.
TONIGHT SHE WAS LOVELY AND
LOVING.
I ALSO WANT TO SHOUT OUT THE
ELIZABETH WARREN SPEECH PSH AND
I WILL GIVE THE TOTAL CREDIT TO
RACHEL WHO NOTICED THE BLM IN
THE BACKGROUND, SAID BLACK LIVES
MATTER.
LOVE THAT AND THE GABBY
GIFFORDS.
>> THE GABBY GIFFORDS THING WAS
INCREDIBLE.
>> A LOT OF EMOTION THERE, AND
OBVIOUSLY THIS WAS THE ALL-STAR
TEAM OF DEMOCRATIC WOMEN.
HILLARY CLINTON, NANCY PELOSI,
GABBY GIFFORDS.
