00:00Moving on to the DNC where it was supposed to be governor Tim waltz big night
00:04I mean he was the headliner, but a lot of other people spoke including Bill Clinton and
00:09Oprah's speech in particular got a lot of attention and not even so much because of what Oprah said although she did go
00:17She went very firmly after
00:20After JD Vance. Yes, and the childless cat lady reference
00:23It's what happened when she went after Vance and a lot of people have questions about
00:29Who called the shots as far as the camera shots?
00:34During Oprah's speech because somebody got singled out in the audience someone who is now responding to all this attention
00:41But here was the moment at DNC at the DNC last night when a house is on fire
00:45We don't ask about the homeowner's race or religion
00:49We don't wonder
00:51Who their partner is or how they voted no?
00:55We just try to do the best we can to save them and if the place place happens to belong
01:02to a childless cat lady
01:14Yeah
01:16Everyone was wondering why did they cut to that poor woman right right after the childless cat lady?
01:22So, I don't know if it makes it any better
01:25For people watching but she has come forward and she is childless and does have cats
01:31Oh, no, and she actually did not take offense to her name is Teresa Warman
01:36Okay
01:37And she said damn right this childless cat lady is 100% disgusted by JD Vance in general and 100% behind Kamala Harris
01:45Governor Tim Walz also, I may be childless, but I do hope that's not a permanent condition. Thanks
01:52What's it on purpose
01:55It does seem like you have to remember how these broadcasts get put together the directors have they can see the teleprompter, right?
02:02They know right that it's coming a lot of different cameras in some cases. They've read the entire speech
02:07All right, they know so it does feel like they had decided that that's who are they gonna cut, right?
02:13Did they know who she was? I doubt that right?
02:16You think it just got lucky that she happens to be childless and cat and it's a whole arena full of delegates
02:21I mean that were it's just I don't and she and Teresa has handled it. Well like credit to her
02:27That's a humiliating moment, isn't it? Why is it humiliating? Is it humiliate? Oh, I just said it to be childless
02:36I have two cats. Stop it. Yes, you are. That's right. You are an olive. You are a childless
02:43Childless cat guy, but at the same time guys, don't you think she might have been like pondering like oh
02:47That was a really sound point that Oprah made in the director and the control room was like get that action
02:53It wasn't so much a snub at her
02:55I'm wondering but Jacob I'm wondering when she looked back and we never the camera angle never showed it
03:00Was she looking back at like a jumbotron was her face up there and she was like
03:04I think she was looking around the audience to see here people in agreement with my reaction to this
03:10Like that was a very profound thing that Oprah just said. Hi. My name is Elle from New Jersey
03:16I think that Oprah Winfrey was the perfect person to fire back at JD Vance whether or not you have a kid is no means
03:24a marker for how successful you are and how successful you can be
03:27Childless women can be successful. They can have dreams. They cannot be lonely and they can be leaders. Absolutely
03:35Absolutely, and Teresa shout out to you and your cats. By the way, if you want to check out her social media
03:40She has two very cute cats. Yeah. Yeah cats. You're maybe your cats can get together with her
03:46You
