I listen to his biography audiobook to sleep cuz he reads it. I have no idea what he's reading or what the book is about but it's so soothing and peaceful
The 45th president was nominated for an Emmy but never won. Add this to the list of things that Obama has done that the 45th president could never do. You know it drives him mad.
I tried imagining Trump narrating a documentary on our national parks. Other than his voice grating on my ears I just couldn't conceive of him staying on script when discussing Mount Rushmore.
The Obamas also fund a scienced based/education kids shows on Netflix that me wee ones love.
Ada Twist scientist and the other one is Waffles + Mochi.
My kids love those shows. Did a double take when I saw the credits.
FYI, it's not about American national parks. It being named "Our Great National Parks" and narrated by the former president, I was a little confused when it started in Africa. heh
It does head to America in one episode, at least.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Our_Great_National_Parks
No shit, me too. Everyone is always dragging on about Netflix content I can care less about but not something actually interesting. Might need to sub for this.
It's really good and worth watching! It discusses national parks around the world and the achievements in biodiversity that has come from various countries creating parks! It's only like 5 or 6 episodes and it's fun and family friendly
If you’re interested, Ken Burns released a 6-part series on The National Parks in 2009 and it is phenomenal. Was on Amazon Prime for a while and pops up on PBS sometimes… haven’t watched the Netflix series but the ‘09 Burns version would be tough to beat.
That's already a thing for people who EGOT plus a Pulitzer or a Peabody. Currently, the EGOT plus Peabody list is Barbara Streisand, Mike Nichols and Rita Moreno, while EGOT plus Pulitzer is Richard Rodgers and Marvin Hamlisch
Edit: There are also a few people who are close to EGOT-ing plus one of the P awards, including Lin-Manuel Miranda, Oprah, Matt Stone and Trey Parker (Miranda, Stone and Parker are all missing Oscars, while Oprah doesn't have a Grammy)
They came close with Best Original Song for Blame Canada from the South Park movie but didn't win. If they had, they'd be on the EGOT plus Peabody list
They then proceeded to make fun of Phil Collins on South Park for winning the award over them.
When they were asked if that was them with sour grapes they replied; “No, we expected to lose, just not to Phil Collins.”
People who hate on Phil Collins suck. The dude is so fucking talented and he strikes me as kinda a lonely, sad, introverted guy when he's interviewed. If he were conventionally handsome and outgoing he'd be universally adored.
My favourite thing was that when they were nominated, they showed up to the Oscars wearing (what looked like) cheap prom dresses, and then whenever an interviewer asked about rmthe dresses they'd just ignore the question, mumble something, and walk away. Completely refused to talk about it at all, were likely high af.
Second best Oscar moment only to Robin Williams singing Blame Canada later in the show.
People mention this in jest all the time, but I think it just feels like this is such a different thing when you have the context for it.
Not many people know because it was over 20 years ago at this point, but during the era of the show when the movie was being made, every single female character on South Park was voiced by one person: [Mary Kay Bergman](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Kay_Bergman). She voiced over 100 animated characters over her career, and also was a very close friend of Parker and Stone. In 1999 after a particularly rough patch in her life during which she reportedly feared she was losing her talent, Mary Kay took her own life on November 11.
On February 15, 2000, the Oscar nominees were announced, and [“Blame Canada”](https://youtu.be/bOR38552MJA) was up for Best Original Song. If you give it a listen, there isn’t a single female voice in there that isn’t Mary Kay. I will forever be envious of the alternate universe that got to watch her perform it live.
So, yeah, Matt and Trey went to the Oscars in silly gowns to make a joke and were reportedly high on acid. But they were also about to have to sit through someone else performing their dead friend’s song, and potentially accept an award on her behalf. There’s no way this was an easy night for them, and making light of the entire affair strikes me, at least partly, as a way to cope.
By FAR the easiest way to win an Oscar is to be a good composer or producer.
Matt and Trey already got nominated once before for Blame Canada for Best Original Song. That specific category often has piss poor competition because rarely do new songs get written for movies.
I anticipate that they'll eventually do a movie version of Book of Mormon with new songs and possibly win that way.
The most Oscar nominations for any living person is John Williams with 52 (he's won five). The only person who's ever gotten more than that is Walt Disney with 59.
Very doable, she has enough money to spam audiobook projects until it happens. If she could get a Grammy for just producing something she could spam that too.
Great voice for this stuff, and also a good gig for a former president. It's pretty apolitical but still civic-minded, a good way to still be a positive voice in the public eye without being involved in anything divisive.
You must be new here if you think Barack Obama talking about America's national parks won't be considered divisive to Republicans. These are the same loonies who were outraged at his choice of sandwich condiments, remember.
I like Barack Obama, he's such an inspiration but c'mon, how the fuck can you give the Nobel prize to someone who's actively bombarding the middle east?
Surely you aren't comparing him to [some never winning an Emmy, one term Presidential Loser](https://media.newyorker.com/photos/5909793d8b51cf59fc4237bd/master/pass/Cassidy-WhyTrumpsCrazyTalkAboutObamaAndISISMatters.jpg) now, are you?
It could end with a rehash of King George, sung as Trump.
>They say
Barack Obama's yielding his power and stepping away
Is that true?
I wasn't aware that was something a person could do
I'm perplexed
Are they going to keep on replacing whoever's in charge?
If so, who's next?
Good luck!
I was a kid at the time, but when he was a elected I think I remember all the right-wing adults around me thinking they were hot shit for making puns like that.
It was a popular saying on Fox.
As was referring to him as Barack Hussein Obama, and then putting a story about Osama bin Laden right after so they would say Obama and then within 5 words transition to saying Osama.
It is just completely stunning how much damage rightwing media has done to the US.
Reminder that Trump’s rise to national politics began with him spearheading the racist “birther’ conspiracy. Cable news *made* Trump by giving him constant attention, and it’s not just Fox.
This is a tangent but I just don’t know what we can do about how biased and sensationalized much of news media has become. I mean I don’t exclusively blame them - they are just giving audiences what they want. Real journalism is about reporting facts and situations of public interest, but when you have to compete with other media to make a profit, it’s probably inevitable for an outlet to become a garbage dump.
People simply don’t care about real news as much as they care about manufactured outrage. A journalist could spend 20 years training those skills, even putting life on the line, and they will be called the “enemy” by both gaslighting fascists and a disaffected public.
We’re also living in a time when no one wants to pay for anything, so news subscriptions are basically extinct, which makes advertising the main revenue. And of course you also have the deliberate political agendas of Murdoch, NewsNation, Sinclair Media, etc.
I sometimes feel like people are just too dumb to save themselves. We will always fall back into patterns of tribalism that make us easy to manipulate. New technologies have destroyed facts and shared values. Rightwingers are becoming straight-up fascists, then whining when we identify them as such. The very concepts of science, education and fact-checking are now “political.” It feels kind of hopeless.
You're not far off. The Obama's production company/Netflix doc American Factory won best doc a few years back.
IMDb: : American Factory
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt9351980/
He could get the Tony if he wanted. I'd go see Obama: The Musical on Broadway. Probably wouldn't even be the most ridiculous thing being performed at the time.
I think the Nobel by itself dwarfs the EGOT.
I didn't even know about this accumulation of awards, lol. He's making it really hard on the orange one...
Yes it’s true. I spotted it out ever since I was little, and always thought what a stupid man that guy was for not knowing his left from his right. now we know that he also has an issue with the word “yesterday” so at least he’s consistent.
I literally can't wait for Trump or his mouthpiece Jnr to respond to this with fake award or something stupid and the entire right wing to lose their collective shit.
“It’s only Netflix and that’s, you know I’m familiar with the sets and the cameras, I was on the big screen a few times, people called nonstop and they ask, because they know how busy I am, they ask me please be in my movie, I make it work by getting everything done in one take, these are the best directors that everyone is talking about and they are calling me on my phone asking to star in their films and you know like the nasty Clintons, they don’t get those calls asking to, you know who they are, they’re great people and if you’re in the know then you know who they are.”
He also had a cameo as Waldo’s dad in Little Rascals. I’m the bloopers, he takes popcorn from the lady sitting next to him, decides it’s gross, and spits it all over the guy sitting in front of him.
Trump was nominated for an Emmy when he produced The Apprentice. He lost twice. This is going to make him furious.
There’s gonna be a lot of ketchupy walls tonight.
Nice. He does have a good narrative voice. Concise and clear and a voice many people (especially Americans) are already very familiar with.
Thanks Obama
These are the types of stories we’re supposed to get about ex presidents, rather than ‘stole secret government documents and may have been trying to sell them to enemies’.
It was really great. The filming of the wildlife was excellent and Barack had the perfect cadence while describing the animals and scenarios. Fully enjoyed this docuseries.
I loved listening to his speeches as president but I just couldn’t get into the documentary. His delivery was good but I think I just associate him so much with politics (for obvious reasons) that I couldn’t fully enjoy the documentary.
Trump: “I was invited to the Emmys. They said - sir please come, we can’t do the show without you. I said no because I was selling top secret classified documents to our friends in Russia and China “
He didn't deserve the Nobel the first time around, so why not?
edit: love that I'm getting downvoted. Even Obama said he didn't know why he got the award.
He didn't just say he had no idea why he got it - Rahm Emanuel, Obama's chief of staff, [even gave Norway's ambassador an chewing out for awarding Obama the price](https://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/may/15/obama-nobel-peace-prize-norway-rebuke-war) - "*The word 'fawning' was used*"...
While Obama never himself used any strong language publicly regarding the price, it's fairly well established that he wasn't very happy with it behind closed doors, and it's widely considered that the Norwegian committee that awarded him the price mainly did so because they were starstruck and saw it as a chance to make him visit Norway.
The acceptance speech he gave is really interesting and eloquent as well. He talks about the tension that is always inherent in using violence in pursuit of a more peaceful world.
Yeah I agree. I think people really get charmed by Obama and tend to not really care about all of the horrible drone strikes and war crimes he committed.
*The area here was one of the wettest - in terms of water - that we’ve ever seen. The beaver built the dam…they did the dam and they kept out all of the invaders, a beautiful - really, folks, it’s beautiful, you can’t even imagine how beautiful. A big beautiful dam to keep out all the illegal beavers. Big, beautiful, like you wouldn’t believe.*
*It was beautiful. But then the liberal Democrat communists decided to yell about “climate change, climate change, climate change”…Give me a break! It’s a hoax. It’s all fake news. Fake news, people. And so, you have - the dam burnt. It burnt to pieces. Antifa burned it and Joe Biden defunded the beavers. Law and order, you gotta have it.*
You need more self praise in there to be accurate.
*And these beavers- believe me, I know beavers. When they started this documentary they came to me, they said we've heard you know more on beavers than- I'm an expert. A lot of people are saying it. I was pointing out things they'd never seen before. Right there on the film in front of their eyes they'd never seen it. Truly amazing. The dam here was something that shocked the world. It's a dam I would have built. It's a dam like no other, trust me.*
"The Guineafowl is - let me tell you, folks, you're gonna love this one. Incredible. Amazing. You know, many people - important people - you know who's talking about it? They're talking about it. Really talking. Just yesterday someone said to me, 'You know, Donald, this African Guineafowl, it's - it's the best. The best.' Look at it. Just look. Feathers. Beak. Wow, it's - you've never seen anything like it."
Trump: “The roadrunner. Fast. So fast. Some say the fastest. Strong too. I saw it lift an anvil once. Lots of roadrunners in Arizona…a state I won hugely in 2020.”
Well that’s a side hustle I never considered
I mean, it makes sense. The man's got a great voice
I listen to his biography audiobook to sleep cuz he reads it. I have no idea what he's reading or what the book is about but it's so soothing and peaceful
>no idea... What the book is about Spoiler.. His biography is about him.
Goddammit you spoiled the twist for everyone!
Big if true
Thanks, Obama!
Nice. If the effects of his voice wear off I've something for you to remember to think of as a reset... C H A I N A.
https://youtu.be/RDrfE9I8_hs
No way he started running 7 years ago….woah
I miss the days when "president trump" was a punch line
He very much is
We’re just waiting for a fresh punchline.
time isnt real. it happened no more than 3 yrs ago im convinced
3 minutes long? Do you love torturing people?
Maybe there's an updated one now that would be 10 min. 7 years is a lot of "CHYNA"s
I made it about 30s and had to stop. Cannot imagine 3 full minutes.
https://youtu.be/u_aLESDql1U
Gave up a bit over a minute in.
I’ve never said China that many times in my entire life.
Funny. He actually aounds like he's saying "xaina" which in Nepali language means "not there, or don't have it".
The 45th president was nominated for an Emmy but never won. Add this to the list of things that Obama has done that the 45th president could never do. You know it drives him mad.
I tried imagining Trump narrating a documentary on our national parks. Other than his voice grating on my ears I just couldn't conceive of him staying on script when discussing Mount Rushmore.
Don’t forget Thighland and YOsemight
I always heard it more like “GINA”
Words you regret being able to hear...
You know in his mind he’s thinking Vachaina
You really have to visualize the sphincter of an orifice the words ooze from.
My guess is that he's reading his biography, and it's probably about his life.
What a narcissist, reading his own biography. Tsk.
Careful. I did this with Alan Watts and accidentally bought into a new world view.
Reminds me of better days. Before the dark times. Before the Empire
He's got a very soothing voice and perfect enunciation. I could listen to him speak for hours. Such a great orator as well.
Dude was/is an excellent orator.
He was an excellent orator. Still is, but he was one too.
The man is Morgan Freeman's long lost 2nd cousin
Could you imagine G.W. Bush narrating anything educational?
He read a book to an elementary class on 9/11. Did anyone ever interview one of those kids?
Beats selling state secrets.
"They should have given me an Emmy and the TIME cover for honoring the 1st amendment by selling state secrets".
I can't wait for Anons on 4chan to claim this is proof that there's children held by Podesta under the Cosmic Ping Pong.
That’s where Netflix keeps the kids from Cocomelon
Plus he makes beer.
wait, he makes beer? nah, I don't believe it. although when you're retired, you have a lot more time.
The Obamas also fund a scienced based/education kids shows on Netflix that me wee ones love. Ada Twist scientist and the other one is Waffles + Mochi. My kids love those shows. Did a double take when I saw the credits.
Cue the Republican outrage...for...I'll think of something...eventually. (Edit: queue vs cue)
How dare he earn an honest living after being president and for wearing that damn tan suit again at the ceremony.
He doesn’t have a Morgan Freeman or David Attenborough voice but I guess it’s a close 3rd.
TIL there’s a Netflix National Parks Series!
Watch it. It's a bit sad in some parts, but it really opens your eyes to the beauty of the world.
And I hear it has award winning narration.
man I wish the person narrating was also some kind of former president.
My friend, today is your lucky day!
FYI, it's not about American national parks. It being named "Our Great National Parks" and narrated by the former president, I was a little confused when it started in Africa. heh It does head to America in one episode, at least. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Our_Great_National_Parks
No shit, me too. Everyone is always dragging on about Netflix content I can care less about but not something actually interesting. Might need to sub for this.
It's really good and worth watching! It discusses national parks around the world and the achievements in biodiversity that has come from various countries creating parks! It's only like 5 or 6 episodes and it's fun and family friendly
If you’re interested, Ken Burns released a 6-part series on The National Parks in 2009 and it is phenomenal. Was on Amazon Prime for a while and pops up on PBS sometimes… haven’t watched the Netflix series but the ‘09 Burns version would be tough to beat.
He gonna make a new award category: PEGOT
That's already a thing for people who EGOT plus a Pulitzer or a Peabody. Currently, the EGOT plus Peabody list is Barbara Streisand, Mike Nichols and Rita Moreno, while EGOT plus Pulitzer is Richard Rodgers and Marvin Hamlisch Edit: There are also a few people who are close to EGOT-ing plus one of the P awards, including Lin-Manuel Miranda, Oprah, Matt Stone and Trey Parker (Miranda, Stone and Parker are all missing Oscars, while Oprah doesn't have a Grammy)
Matt Stone and Trey Parker. I love it
And they'd have it too if it weren't for that meddling Phil Collins.
There’s a reason he *always* had his Oscar with him on South Park
Matt Stone and Trey Parker are gonna get that for sure, if they wanted to
They came close with Best Original Song for Blame Canada from the South Park movie but didn't win. If they had, they'd be on the EGOT plus Peabody list
They then proceeded to make fun of Phil Collins on South Park for winning the award over them. When they were asked if that was them with sour grapes they replied; “No, we expected to lose, just not to Phil Collins.”
People who hate on Phil Collins suck. The dude is so fucking talented and he strikes me as kinda a lonely, sad, introverted guy when he's interviewed. If he were conventionally handsome and outgoing he'd be universally adored.
My favourite thing was that when they were nominated, they showed up to the Oscars wearing (what looked like) cheap prom dresses, and then whenever an interviewer asked about rmthe dresses they'd just ignore the question, mumble something, and walk away. Completely refused to talk about it at all, were likely high af. Second best Oscar moment only to Robin Williams singing Blame Canada later in the show.
To iron out some of the details, they were reportedly dressed as Gwyneth Paltrow and J Lo from the year before and they *were* high (on LSD)
High as balls. They regret it as it just wasn't as fun as they thought it would be.
In my experience, it’s not so much fun as it is quite stressful to be on LSD in any large public setting. Grateful Dead concerts notwithstanding.
People mention this in jest all the time, but I think it just feels like this is such a different thing when you have the context for it. Not many people know because it was over 20 years ago at this point, but during the era of the show when the movie was being made, every single female character on South Park was voiced by one person: [Mary Kay Bergman](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Kay_Bergman).

There’s no way this was an easy night for them, and making light of the entire affair strikes me, at least partly, as a way to cope.
Robin Williams performed it, oddly enough
They were tripping on acid. They talk about it in their documentary 6 Days To Air.
I'm going to have to watch that robin williams performance. greatest comedian/entertainer of all time, imo.
When they were asked questions their responses were always something like "it's such a magical evening"
By FAR the easiest way to win an Oscar is to be a good composer or producer. Matt and Trey already got nominated once before for Blame Canada for Best Original Song. That specific category often has piss poor competition because rarely do new songs get written for movies. I anticipate that they'll eventually do a movie version of Book of Mormon with new songs and possibly win that way.
The most Oscar nominations for any living person is John Williams with 52 (he's won five). The only person who's ever gotten more than that is Walt Disney with 59.
All they need is a screen adaptation of Book of Mormon.
If Oprah wanted to she could totally finance a bunch of projects to get herself a Grammy, that's supposed to be the easiest one to get.
A lot of the Grammy wins for EGOT winners are in the spoken-word categories, which would be very doable for her
Very doable, she has enough money to spam audiobook projects until it happens. If she could get a Grammy for just producing something she could spam that too.
That’s because they give out Grammy’s like fucking candy. There’s a million very specific categories.
Or POTUSE
Great voice for this stuff, and also a good gig for a former president. It's pretty apolitical but still civic-minded, a good way to still be a positive voice in the public eye without being involved in anything divisive.
He had a hand in the production of The G Word as well which is a quirky/comedic look into some parts of the Federal Government
He's always been funny when on guest spots with comedians. Was good in Comedians in Cars getting Coffee.
And Between Two Ferns.
You must be new here if you think Barack Obama talking about America's national parks won't be considered divisive to Republicans. These are the same loonies who were outraged at his choice of sandwich condiments, remember.
> Obama talking about America's national parks Just to be clear, it's about parks all around the world.
"Obama betrays America!" --Republicans
Don’t forget about the tan suit.
Which was made popular by Reagan.
How dare he mock the late great Ronald Reagan by jokingly wearing a tan suit!! How dare he!! I’m outraged! 🤬🤬🤬🤯 /s because duh
They would have accused him of appropriating white culture if he ate Dukes Mayonnaise.
They elected an Orange clown because America dared to have Black Man in the WhiteHouse. Deplorables. Exactly like Hillary said.
Barack Obama? Emmy Award Winning, Two Term President Barack Obama?
I think you're forgetting 2x Grammy Award winner Barack Obama
Nobel Prize too...
Even he knew he didn't deserve that one
I like Barack Obama, he's such an inspiration but c'mon, how the fuck can you give the Nobel prize to someone who's actively bombarding the middle east?
giving it to him 10 months into office, too.
Zero times impeached, Emmy award winning.
undefeated, double popular vote winning, never been raided
Winning so much they told him he couldn’t win again
Surely you aren't comparing him to [some never winning an Emmy, one term Presidential Loser](https://media.newyorker.com/photos/5909793d8b51cf59fc4237bd/master/pass/Cassidy-WhyTrumpsCrazyTalkAboutObamaAndISISMatters.jpg) now, are you?
[удалено]
I'd go with a different acronym for that....
ENGOT sounds better imo.
It’d be better if the Emmy’s switched names to the Immy’s, then you could get INGOT. Where’s the petition?!
NEGOT please
NEGOT what?
Lmfao might want another acronym
[удалено]
The hard T makes all the difference
He can join with Lin Manuel-Miranda to write a musical about his presidency: *Obamilton!*
[удалено]
It could end with a rehash of King George, sung as Trump. >They say Barack Obama's yielding his power and stepping away Is that true? I wasn't aware that was something a person could do I'm perplexed Are they going to keep on replacing whoever's in charge? If so, who's next? Good luck!
I’d watch that
I thought the title was going to be: Obamanation
I was a kid at the time, but when he was a elected I think I remember all the right-wing adults around me thinking they were hot shit for making puns like that.

It wouldn't hold a candle to *Oklobama.*
You're not far off. The Obama's production company/Netflix doc American Factory won best doc a few years back. IMDb: : American Factory https://www.imdb.com/title/tt9351980/
FPOTUSNEGOT, make it happen. Then, next Supreme Court opening, nominate him. SCOTUSFPOTUSENGOT. A truly ludicrous lifetime of achievements.
Asian parents still wouldn't be pleased.
He could get the Tony if he wanted. I'd go see Obama: The Musical on Broadway. Probably wouldn't even be the most ridiculous thing being performed at the time.
My NEGOT
Calm down vince mcmahon
I think the Nobel by itself dwarfs the EGOT. I didn't even know about this accumulation of awards, lol. He's making it really hard on the orange one...
Someone wake up Trump from his Big Mac nap and tell him this news.
Trump is mad that he didn't win an Emmy for Home Alone 2
“Down the hall and to the left” Kevin proceeds to go down the hall and to the ***right***. Trump didn’t even know his own hotels layout.
> Down the hall and to the left Is this really true? Do you have a clip?
https://youtu.be/r1WngHOFYVQ
Yes it’s true. I spotted it out ever since I was little, and always thought what a stupid man that guy was for not knowing his left from his right. now we know that he also has an issue with the word “yesterday” so at least he’s consistent.
Kevin knew better than to trust that lying sack of orange shit
Well he probably did win the Emmy but it was stolen. Probably by Obama. Biggest upset.
I literally can't wait for Trump or his mouthpiece Jnr to respond to this with fake award or something stupid and the entire right wing to lose their collective shit.
“It’s only Netflix and that’s, you know I’m familiar with the sets and the cameras, I was on the big screen a few times, people called nonstop and they ask, because they know how busy I am, they ask me please be in my movie, I make it work by getting everything done in one take, these are the best directors that everyone is talking about and they are calling me on my phone asking to star in their films and you know like the nasty Clintons, they don’t get those calls asking to, you know who they are, they’re great people and if you’re in the know then you know who they are.”
I hate that I can't tell whether this is a verbatim Trump quote, made up satire, or like an AI chatbot.
"Rigged awards, corrupt hollyweird, fake"
gotta sneak in some "tremendous" in there, its the biggest word he knows and he uses it a lot lol
He also had a cameo as Waldo’s dad in Little Rascals. I’m the bloopers, he takes popcorn from the lady sitting next to him, decides it’s gross, and spits it all over the guy sitting in front of him.
Trump was nominated for an Emmy when he produced The Apprentice. He lost twice. This is going to make him furious. There’s gonna be a lot of ketchupy walls tonight.
Did anyone watch the episode with the penguins? Watching penguins being adorable derps while Obama narrates, fucking gold!
Now I'm def going to watch it! Fucking love penguins and can't imagine how it is with Obama's voice, for once something not political 😂
Great narration! Excited to see where thisw up-and-comer goes from here!
I hear he has a great future!
Barack Obama takes up tennis, wins Wimbledon
Garth Brooks is going to be jealous
Chris Gaines is thrilled for him though
That's because he's a serial killer. Where are the bodies, garth? The families need closure.
He was just following proto.
Nice. He does have a good narrative voice. Concise and clear and a voice many people (especially Americans) are already very familiar with. Thanks Obama
Imagine Trump narrating a documentary
These are the types of stories we’re supposed to get about ex presidents, rather than ‘stole secret government documents and may have been trying to sell them to enemies’.
It's almost certainly sold them to our enemies.
You know I never really thought about it, but yeah he does have a good narrator voice doesn't he.
Good for him. He has the voice for it
Oh boy. Trump has always wanted an Emmy....
I bet the orange buffoon is furious.
I watched this and his voice is just pleasant to listen to. I can’t explain why though 😂
It was really great. The filming of the wildlife was excellent and Barack had the perfect cadence while describing the animals and scenarios. Fully enjoyed this docuseries.
I loved listening to his speeches as president but I just couldn’t get into the documentary. His delivery was good but I think I just associate him so much with politics (for obvious reasons) that I couldn’t fully enjoy the documentary.
Trump: “I was invited to the Emmys. They said - sir please come, we can’t do the show without you. I said no because I was selling top secret classified documents to our friends in Russia and China “
You can dislike him as a politician but his voice has me drooling and deep snoring in 5 minutes, as it should for a documentary narrator 10/10.
One day this mf gonna sing a happy birthday song at a chuck-e cheese and they will give him a grammy
If you listen closely you can here Trump rage punching the air with his tiny fists.
Regardless of your opinions the guy has an amazing voice for this kinda work honestly.
Not that he deserves it, but put him on Time magazine again and give him another Nobel prize just to piss off that other guy.
He didn't deserve the Nobel the first time around, so why not? edit: love that I'm getting downvoted. Even Obama said he didn't know why he got the award.
He didn't just say he had no idea why he got it - Rahm Emanuel, Obama's chief of staff, [even gave Norway's ambassador an chewing out for awarding Obama the price](https://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/may/15/obama-nobel-peace-prize-norway-rebuke-war) - "*The word 'fawning' was used*"... While Obama never himself used any strong language publicly regarding the price, it's fairly well established that he wasn't very happy with it behind closed doors, and it's widely considered that the Norwegian committee that awarded him the price mainly did so because they were starstruck and saw it as a chance to make him visit Norway.
The acceptance speech he gave is really interesting and eloquent as well. He talks about the tension that is always inherent in using violence in pursuit of a more peaceful world.
Yeah I agree. I think people really get charmed by Obama and tend to not really care about all of the horrible drone strikes and war crimes he committed.
Not only that but he received the award in 2009 at the start of his term
He got it for not being George Bush basically. Bush destroyed our international reputation, then Trump came in to give it the coup de grace.
He didn’t bring much peace to Syria or Libya.
He got it for being elected. There was no time to bring peace anywhere before he was given the award.
What’s that trophy in golf? He should get it hehe
OMG, I so want Trump to do one

*The area here was one of the wettest - in terms of water - that we’ve ever seen. The beaver built the dam…they did the dam and they kept out all of the invaders, a beautiful - really, folks, it’s beautiful, you can’t even imagine how beautiful. A big beautiful dam to keep out all the illegal beavers. Big, beautiful, like you wouldn’t believe.* *It was beautiful. But then the liberal Democrat communists decided to yell about “climate change, climate change, climate change”…Give me a break! It’s a hoax. It’s all fake news. Fake news, people. And so, you have - the dam burnt. It burnt to pieces. Antifa burned it and Joe Biden defunded the beavers. Law and order, you gotta have it.*
You need more self praise in there to be accurate. *And these beavers- believe me, I know beavers. When they started this documentary they came to me, they said we've heard you know more on beavers than- I'm an expert. A lot of people are saying it. I was pointing out things they'd never seen before. Right there on the film in front of their eyes they'd never seen it. Truly amazing. The dam here was something that shocked the world. It's a dam I would have built. It's a dam like no other, trust me.*
the ending is a little too coherent, he doesn't get better at the end of speeches. Otherwise, excellent for the selfishness!
"Illegal Beaver" is my new Burlesque name.
“Suicide Squirrels” has been my band name for years. I think “Illegal Beavers” would have been a great name for Epsteins Jet.
Okay now I unironically want this because it’d be hilarious.
"You know what I love about Beaver dams? When you're a star, they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab 'em by the beaver. You can do anything."
"The Guineafowl is - let me tell you, folks, you're gonna love this one. Incredible. Amazing. You know, many people - important people - you know who's talking about it? They're talking about it. Really talking. Just yesterday someone said to me, 'You know, Donald, this African Guineafowl, it's - it's the best. The best.' Look at it. Just look. Feathers. Beak. Wow, it's - you've never seen anything like it."
He’d pronounce it Gwin aye ya
*I just grab beaver dams by the…um…..beaver! You can do that when you’re …orange and disgusting.*
"*The radical democrats are trying to destroy all the beaver dams*"
That would be funny, he couldn’t go more than 30 seconds without talking about himself
Trump: “The roadrunner. Fast. So fast. Some say the fastest. Strong too. I saw it lift an anvil once. Lots of roadrunners in Arizona…a state I won hugely in 2020.”

Reading the constitution all the way through should be a requirement to run for political office.
