00:00Barack Obama every week has got to be
00:03Watching his wife's podcast to see what stray am I gonna catch this week?
00:08What's it gonna be great for him so far for one thing?
00:11I think it addresses the ongoing rumors that there's some trouble in there in their marriage clearly
00:16She wouldn't be talking about him so much if there were I think you can put all that to bed, right?
00:22She was just not address him at all. However
00:25What she did say this week on her podcast is called higher ground IMO
00:30She does it with her brother Craig Robinson and Craig asked her something about the kind of man. She would date
00:38It seems to me like this is a family conversation
00:40They've had and that you wanted to air it out
00:44Yeah for everyone to understand what happened when she first met Barack
00:48and very clearly she had some questions about
00:52The young man's finances when they first met would you be attracted to a guy?
00:59Who's not?
01:01Financially sound when you meet him. Uh, I married one. Don't you like that alley?
01:08I left my corporate firm
01:11When I met Barack and I had somebody who was like I got your back the risk you think you're taking
01:19They're not that crazy and I'm here to help you. That's when I said I
01:25Would rather have that in a partner than a higher income
01:30I'd rather have somebody who was ready to do some hard things with me
01:35But that meant I also had to be ready to do some hard things with him
01:39I think the when she says do some hard things
01:42What she's referring to is we might struggle ride or die and that has obviously been proven out
01:47I mean they are worked in their case. They might be the most successful couple in the right country by right?
01:53I mean, yeah
01:53Yeah
01:54But it did take some time to get there right but a lot of people are seeing Michelle's comments as like a dig at Barack
02:01But I think I don't really see it like that
02:03I think a lot of women are attracted to guys that are motivated and usually if you're with a guy that's
02:09Motivated you kind of have the understanding like oh, he might not be
02:13Successful now, but he absolutely will be and you know, five ten twenty years from now
02:18You want to date a guy that is motivated because he's gonna make something out of himself
02:24Versus like of course, it's not gonna be attractive to a woman if she's with a guy
02:28That's like on the couch is scared to send resumes living with his mom
02:32You can't you can't be broke and that what I'll just describe Charlie
02:37You can be broke and if you're motivated someone's gotta be ambitious like he didn't come from wealth, right?
02:43And he was a young guy when they met they've been together for a long time
02:46But she had the foresight to know that this guy's gonna be successful
02:50I'd say he was now
02:52Yes, as we say it certainly worked out for that, right?
02:54You know, you got a whole bunch of women out there like meeting these broke guys
02:59Listen, you know, we won't be president
03:02More likely than not
03:03He will not be president the guy that you might be thinking of right now as we talk about this
03:07But it doesn't have to be president for your relationship to work out, you know, just have a job
03:13Yeah, my name is Jonah from Texas and everyone's opinion on wealth is different
03:18But as we know they met in the law firm, so even if he started off at the lowest possible bracket of income
03:25He's still making more money than the average person that you would meet on a daily basis and has potential to make more money
03:30Yeah, I mean she saw the potential she saw the potential and like a good scout
03:36yes, which her brother Craig Robinson who is a
03:39Basketball the family he would say yeah, that's what you did. You scouted him out. Well
