00:00
Barack Obama was in Detroit last night for a Kamala Harris rally.
00:05
She was not there, but he was there, you know, getting the vote out.
00:09
He was introduced, as we told you, everyone expected this, that Eminem was going to introduce
00:13
him.
00:14
And I have to say, when they announced that Eminem was going to do this, I felt like this
00:18
is going to be awkward to have Eminem talking about politics, and it's like, it's just not
00:22
his place.
00:23
But it wasn't awkward.
00:25
It wasn't awkward.
00:26
We're going to show you.
00:27
Here's what Eminem said.
00:28
It actually totally made sense.
00:32
I think the awkward part came later, but first, here's what Eminem said.
00:35
The city of Detroit and the whole state of Michigan mean a lot to me.
00:43
Going into this election, the spotlight is on us more than ever, and I think it's important
00:47
to use your voice.
00:49
So I'm encouraging everybody to get out and vote, please.
00:52
I don't think anyone wants an America where people are worried about retribution or what
00:56
people will do if you make your opinion known.
01:02
I think Vice President Harris supports a future for this country where these freedoms and
01:06
many others will be protected and upheld.
01:13
And here to tell you much more about that, President Barack Obama.
01:19
Kept it pretty straightforward.
01:21
It was like a minute.
01:22
It was like a minute.
01:23
And he told you why he was there, and it totally made sense.
01:26
So he didn't really get into too much policy.
01:28
Okay, so now we're going to disagree, because I think the next part is awesome.
01:31
And I feel like it's a little awkward, but here's how Barack Obama opened his remarks.
01:37
So I don't usually get nervous, but I was feeling some kind of way following Eminem.
01:49
Now notice, my palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy, vomit on my sweater are ready,
01:58
mom's spaghetti.
01:59
I'm nervous, but on the surface I look calm and ready to drop bombs, but I keep bomb spaghetti.
02:07
Oh gosh.
02:08
I just, I love that.
02:10
I love that.
02:12
He can pull it off.
02:13
What you love is that he knows the lyrics, and that's cool.
02:16
I agree that that's cool.
02:17
It's authentic.
02:18
It's authentic.
02:19
It didn't feel authentic.
02:20
Do you remember when he sang an Al Green song?
02:23
It was, yes.
02:24
And that was awesome too.
02:26
It's him.
02:27
It's him.
02:28
But that's closer to him, singing an Al Green song.
02:30
Why is that not closer to him?
02:31
Because he's closer to Al Green.
02:33
He can pull that off.
02:35
He's not a rapper.
02:36
There's a cut off.
02:37
He's not a rapper.
02:38
He pulled that off.
02:39
And like the affectation in some of the words, just, I don't know.
02:42
I loved it.
02:43
I'm a fan of his, but I just felt like that was.
02:46
I just loved it.
02:47
It felt forced.
02:49
It's not forced.
02:50
Okay.
02:51
It's a little theatrical.
02:52
I get it.
02:53
Okay.
02:54
It's a little theatrical.
02:55
But my God, come on.
02:56
Hi.
02:57
I'm Tiffany from St. Louis.
02:58
I'm ready for the mixtape.
02:59
I love.
03:00
Yes.
03:01
Obama, absolutely.
03:02
I'm impressed that he knew the words, and quite frankly, Kamala and Obama need to absolutely
03:12
collab with Eminem and every debate needs to be a rap battle from this point on or I'm
03:17
not watching.
03:18
Mic drop.
03:19
You know what I want to know?
03:20
Because when we go to the shot of Obama, you can see, I want to know, were the lyrics in
03:26
the teleprompter?
03:27
No, he knew it.
03:28
Were the lyrics in the teleprompter?
03:29
He knew it.
03:30
We need an investigation right now.
03:31
He knew it.
03:32
I want to know.
03:33
I'm sorry.
03:34
Those lyrics were in the teleprompter.
