Our co-hosts, Amiee & Matthew, are back from their summer August break, and jump right into reviewing the historical “Battle for the Soul of the Nation” speech given by President Biden on September 1, 2022 directly in front of Independence Hall in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. A poignant and very bold speech that has now become controversial from the MAGA-Republican side due to Biden actually calling their bullshit out to the nation.

In this historical speech from Philadelphia, President Biden speaks about the "battle for the soul of the nation.” He called out former ‘President’ Donald Trump and his supporters, saying "MAGA Republicans do NOT respect The Constitution" (which is absolutely true by their very own choices and actions) and that they have extreme ideologies. The first of many Democrats hopefully speaking up and speaking out to not tolerate these outrageous and DELUSIONAL cult-like MAGA republicans and followers. Democracy is defended and should never be taken for granted, even in America. We must ALL constantly defend it otherwise it will fall when we are not paying attention. He also asked Americans to be sure to exercise their right to VOTE in the upcoming elections this November 2022.

In this season finale episode,
Amiee & Matthew discuss their opinions and the facts of the speech, including the theatrical symbolism and obvious bold choices of the red stage lighting design (that any good stage director, musical theatre nerd or lighting designer would have understood), as well as introduce a new satire commercial with voice-over talents by Matthew Shirley.

All this while having lunch and watching the FULL speech from the You Tube channel CBS news clip. (commercials that pop up every 60 seconds on You Tube is a problem that is surely discussed by the hosts!)

So, if you haven’t seen this historical speech yet or would like an entertainment review version of it, give a listen and enjoy!

It’s 102 degrees in the real
“La La Land” during this recording, due to this ABNORMAL global warming heatwave that the south west is enduring, and their dog Bella’s nails are tapping in the background while moving throughout the recording audio, HOWEVER it’s an educational and entertaining episode for listeners to thoroughly enjoy.

Listen, share & leave our hosts a message about what YOUR thoughts were of the speech.
