Chapter 1: What are the consistent themes in Michelle Obama's public appearances?
Guys, there are certain things in life that will just always be consistent. You know, things like the McDonald's ice cream machine never working, or things like Michelle Obama sitting down behind a microphone and complaining. Because that is the woman's MO. Like, at least we have that kind of stability in these trying times.
And her latest episode with Alex Cooper on Call Her Daddy is no different. But there actually is one thing that I really liked, and we'll get into that too. Now, before we dive into this, if you wanna see awesome farm vlogs and ad-free episodes, behind the scenes content, travel vlogs, all of that sort of thing, make sure to check out cooperconfidential.com.
That is my subscription platform where you can find all of that and more coming soon. All right, so let's just dive right into this. The moment that I saw on my TikTok that Alex Cooper had scored Michelle Obama as a guest, I was like, Here we go. Great content for me. Anyway, so this was a huge get for Alex Cooper.
Back during the 2024 election on Call Her Daddy, she had Kamala Harris, and that was kind of her first big step into politics.
Not to say that she had not spoken about it before, because obviously, if she is a left-wing millennial woman, she has talked about abortion and all the normal feminist talking points, but she had, until that point in 2024, stayed away from hosting politicians and big political figures, but then came Kamala, and at the time, she said that she had this responsibility to have her on the show.
all of that sort of thing. Now, that was obviously a big deal, but possibly an even bigger get than Kamala is Michelle Obama herself, the queen of the Democrat Party.

Chapter 2: Why is Michelle Obama's appearance on Call Her Daddy significant?
And Michelle, of course, of course, she came on the pod to promote her new book, which we talked about back in the fall, which is a fashion book. Published by her featuring her favorite photos of herself. I am still not over that. I think it is positively hilarious I know that it's been months since we talked about that.
I'm still not over it I think that is the funniest thing like I'm just envisioning Michelle being like guys. I'm not getting enough press people don't like my podcast They're listening. They're requesting that I come speak at events anymore. I need to make some more money What am I gonna do? I'm gonna publish my favorite photos of myself and everyone is gonna love it.
And the thing that is so hilarious is that people did. Like it immediately became a New York Times bestseller. Everyone wanted to see what Michelle Obama was wearing. Anyway, it is just hilarious to me. So here's the thing.
In the context of that book, knowing that she is doing this entire book on her clothing and how stylish she was as the first lady, you would expect that her, you know, coming on to call her daddy, that she would want to be talking about her clothing and her style, right? Like that would make sense. Wrong. wrong. Absolutely not, guys. If you thought that, you are offensive. You are a misogynistic.
Shame on you for wanting to talk about Michelle Obama's clothing because Michelle does not want anybody, she never did want anybody to talk about her fashion. That actually, to her, was very offensive. Just listen.
But as my popularity rose, I was being covered more, right? And so the press enters the scene and there are now reports, right? And the first thing after all this great conversation and connection, the top of the article would be, she was wearing.
You know, you know, it's what she was wearing with the snarl, with like the lip flip, the snarl. Like you could not imagine that this woman was actually publishing a book about her style, God forbid. We talk about what Michelle Obama is wearing. I'll let her continue here.
Not my education, not my professional career.
Yeah, none of that, none of that clothing talk, Michelle. We need to focus on brass tacks. We need to get down to your accomplishments. I mean, like Michelle, the writing is on the wall. Like, did we forget why you were on this podcast in the first place? Have we forgotten why you're doing this press tour and the very specific book that you have just published?

Chapter 3: What does Michelle Obama promote in her latest book?
How did you pick it? It's hilarious. Oh my gosh, ladies, let's talk about it. Let's not talk about Michelle's accomplishments. No, let's talk about her hot pink sweater. I mean, the comedy just writes itself and that was worthwhile. pointing out.
Somebody commented and said, this never-ending media tour of leftist media gaslighting the world into thinking that Michelle Obama is a fashion icon when our current first lady is a literal supermodel is hilarious. Yeah, and where is Melania's book? Where is her Vogue cover? It does not exist because they will never admit that she is a supermodel.
They will never acknowledge her style and her poise and her grace, but thank God, thank God. Thank God we have a book of Michelle telling us why she picked certain pantsuits on certain days. I really don't know if I could have gone on without it. Speaking of how she was picking outfits, apparently Michelle is getting really big into picking things based on the race of the creator or designer.
And this was not a clip from Call Her Daddy, but based on what we're talking about, it did seem worth throwing in here and mentioning. Just watch this.
If I hear of someone whose fashion that I like and I know that they're a person of color, I try to make it a point. But the clothes have to be available. You know, I think we can all do some work to think about that balance in our wardrobes, you know? What does our closet look like and who's in it? who are we supporting in it, you know?
And I think if you have the money to buy Chanel, then you have the money to buy everybody. And so let us be mindful, I think would be my advice.
Okay. So two points that I want to just call out here. Number one, again, she's promoting this fashion book. She's sitting around with all these women. They are like the seals. They're applauding. They're nodding along. Oh yes, Michelle, this is It's just so insightful what you're saying.
And she's talking about the significance of who you choose to wear and the clothes that you choose to put on your body. The designers that you're working with, you know, where you're spending your money, putting your values, obviously her values are all about race, towards designers and your clothing. But meanwhile, she's sitting on other podcasts saying, don't talk to me about my clothing.
It's not relevant. They always wanted to know what I was wearing. I actually think that asking a woman what she was wearing, if she's being intentional about it, that's a really interesting conversation. For example, Reagan Reese from The Daily Caller, she posted this and she said, women should welcome conversations about their outfits. Clothes are such powerful communicators.

Chapter 4: How does Michelle Obama feel about media focus on her fashion?
But every single time she sits down behind a microphone to promote this book about her fashion, she seems to want to diminish from fashion and everybody else talking about her fashion. Like, do you see how cyclical and ridiculous that is?
Now, the other point that I wanted to bring up about that same clip is that she is urging people to be mindful, to go out of their way to not just buy things from white designers, which is so ironic. because of something that many internet sleuths pointed out. This girl said, Michelle Obama urges women not to buy from white-owned brands while wearing a $1100 skirt created by a white designer.
Racist, hypocritical, and privileged. Those are three great words to describe Michelle Obama. And then somebody said, I can't believe that Michael is on a podcast that is owned by a white woman. So true. Back to the point of this episode, the white woman podcast, call her daddy. The whole thing, like the entire episode, it really reeked of peak 2016 feminism to me.
Like, you know, the empty slogans of I'm with her. Don't ask me what I'm wearing. Don't tell me to smile. I'm a boss, babe. That is basically what we were living through in 2015, 2016.
I mean I think back to myself as a teenager and I'll scroll back on my Instagram like my private Instagram and I'll see some of the things that I posted like I'll post a picture with a quote as the caption and I look at it and it's just the most empty feminist jargon that I didn't even really believe but I posted it because it felt like what I was supposed to do.
I'm a woman so I need to be focusing on my empowerment because I'm oppressed in this patriarchal society. That's what we're doing. Tell me to smile, whatever it is. Like that is the world that I was surrounded in growing up as a young woman. And that is what this entire podcast episode embodied, those empty jargons.
And this whole idea, this oppressed woman game was very reflected in how Michelle talked about being first lady on Call Her Daddy. And shocker of the century, she had things to complain about because God forbid we talk about anything other than her accomplishments. Just watch this.
You know, and you don't want to... But I was like, well, I went to Princeton and Harvard. I mean, I practiced law. I was an assistant to the mayor in Chicago. I ran a nonprofit, 501C3. Like, I've been doing this. I was a vice president for community relations at the University of Chicago Hospitals. I was a dean of students. I was like...
oh you guys i all of that just disappeared in the course of this whole election and you now see me as just barack obama's wife so that made me say what that that quickly my shoes become the most important thing about me.

Now, back to Michelle Obama, the other point that I want to make in kind of comparing her to Usha and what Usha was saying in that interview is that, like, Michelle, Barack is not president anymore. He hasn't been president in a decade, so why are you not back out being the vice president of a hospital?
Why are you not out being an attorney, being the dean of students, whatever it is that you care so much about? You've had 10 years to go back to that if that was so important to you. Or, we have to ask, does being Barack's wife, does being the former first lady just pay too well these days? Is that just more comfortable? Like, if you really
felt that way, if you really wanted people to be concerned with your accomplishments, then why is this your ex bio? I just think this is really funny. Her bio on exes, girl from the south side and former first lady, wife, mother, dog lover, always hugger in chief. Hashtag the look, promoting her fashion book. Michelle! I thought you wanted us to talk about your accomplishments.
Where are the accolades? Where is the resume? Like if I didn't know any better, I would be sitting here going, well, I guess she's just Barack's wife. Even Hillary Clinton's bio is better. She says, 2016 Democratic nominee, Secretary of State, Senator, hair icon, mom, wife, grandma times three, lawyer, advocate, fan of walks in the woods, and standing up for our democracy.
Like Hillary Clinton, she is going to go down being an accomplished woman if it is the last thing she does. But Michelle, she's fine just cashing in a check on the back of her husband's presidency, but also wants to complain about us not taking her seriously in the career that she hasn't had in almost two decades. Just saying, it's a little odd.
Now anyway, speaking of future female presidents, this was also a big part of the interview. Just watch.
You said, don't even look at me about running because you all are lying. You're not ready for a woman. You're not.
There are men out there that were not going to vote for a woman. Let's just be real about it. And let's put that on the table and talk about, well, what's that about? Let's not be mad because I made the statement. The young women that we're talking to, keep climbing. We need you. And know that you may come up short, but keep going.
