Jennifer 0:04
Happy Memorial Day. It is an all skate with all of the I've had it, IHIP news people on board today. Of course, I am Jennifer. She is Pumps. Pumps, raise your hand. There she goes. She is Kylie. And then we have Ryan and then we have Seth. How is everybody? Happy Memorial Day. How it's going to go is I've asked each member of our team to pick a story they would like to share with the class. And I want to call on Kylie first. Okay.
Kylie 0:35
At first I've got this clip of Michelle Obama. She went on this podcast and this clip went viral and I'm super interested to get your response on it. Okay.
Unknown 0:47
Yeah, I can't look some people in the face and tell them you have no right to be angry or to do something that maybe is against your own interests. That's what that's human nature. Many of the people who voted for my husband twice, twice. And I know that that's how they feel. It's like this isn't this isn't about anything other than I'm just we need we need something different. They voted for Donald Trump. Yeah. You know, it's a lot of people. So you can't just. pigeonhole them and say, you just don't care and you're racist or whatever you're thinking. This is an act of, I don't know what else to do.
Jennifer 1:25
I do think some people for sure voted for Donald Trump because they're racist, but I think a lot of people didn't. And I also think that black people, particularly somebody like Michelle Obama, who's in that position. are very cautious about how they speak about accusing somebody of being racist. And they are intimately aware of the backlash for doing that. And she's correct that some people that voted for Obama twice then voted for Trump. And in those individual cases, I would say that perhaps those people aren't racist.

How does the guest feel about Michelle Obama's recent comments?

Jennifer 2:17
But I definitely, growing up in Oklahoma, I've heard a lot of racist shit said about Michelle Obama and Barack Obama. And I think we still have a racist problem, but I don't want to be in the business of... Michelle Obama is incredible. We're lucky that she's publicly speaking now and podcasts. She's an inspiration for women and particularly Black women who always get pushed to the bottom of the totem pole. But it's interesting. She's very educated. She's a lot smarter than I am. She's a lot more mature than I am. She's a lot better person than I am, Michelle Obama.
Pumps 2:58
Yeah, I completely agree. I don't think that only racists voted for Trump, but I think if you're a racist, the only candidate you voted for was Trump. I mean, I don't think they're all racist, but I don't think there were very many racists that came out for Harrison Walls or Biden. I just don't.
Jennifer 3:23
Yeah, I think that's probably right. And I think that it's our job to call them out because I think black people get an additional layer of racism piled onto them when they call it out, which is unfair. Seth, you sound like you were gonna say something.
Seth 3:43
What do you think about, do you think there was a large swath of the electorate that, I feel like as Americans, we've kind of gone into this cycle where everything goes by so quickly. Do you think that there were voters out there that have such short-term American memory that they forgot how shitty he was in his first term and they just voted for him a second time?
Jennifer 4:10
Totally. We have no attention span. We're really, I mean, culturally very instant gratification, impulsive, we're a lot of bad things. And Trump is a representation of all of our worst character defects into one person.
Ryan 4:29
You can't underestimate how dumb some of these people are that are voting. I mean, I remember I was reading a focus group that we talked about on one of the I Have News episodes of people that voted for Trump and now regret it. One of these people said that the reason that they voted for him was because they thought that he was going to completely abolish all taxes so they would not pay taxes at all anymore. So I think that... He's not, that's true. So I think it's kind of exactly like Pump said, you know, if you're racist, you voted for Donald Trump, but not every person who voted for Donald Trump is racist.
