John Legend on Trump Vs. Biden, Celebrities Engaging in Politics & Campaigning for Obama

[@TonyRobetson]

didnt know John Legend was so engaged in political issues. that's awesome! he made a great point about whether celebrities should give opinions/support issues. theyre people too, unfair to expect them to be anymore educated on an issue than anyone else. great video!

[@jenniferb.9404]

Or less educated - there are MAGAs out there spouting absolute propaganda nonsense, they did ZERO fact-checking, they’re not censoring themselves!

[@lindaleg3659]

Him and his wife are pathetic snobs!

[@akinyiomer4589]

Love you Mr Legend, you always were a class act amongst all the celebrities when it comes to politics & civic engagement. Your intelligence, conscientiousness, patriotism and love for your fellow man truly shines through. You truly live up to your name.

[@cradio52]

John Legend truly living up to his name. Kudos, man.

[@drphot6050]

No he’s not 😂

[@carolbulmer8253]

Excellent interview/discussion with John Legend! He is truly a legend👏👏👏👏👏

[@JohnSmith-vm5cv]

John Legend knows his stuff holy moly! What an excellent interview!

[@glowingdiane]

John Legend is a magnificent man with principles and courage and leading the way for people to stand up for justice! I am so grateful for him and his work and creativity 🙏🏾

[@SunflowerLover63]

I am a 64 year old progressive and when I see young people like John Legend, I am hopeful, not all is lost! We definitely need more young progressives like John Legend! We need that MAGA Cult to go away!

[@Zelazella1]

Blks for Trump 2024

[@MegaAnimeforlife]

@@Zelazella1voting for a guy that got sued for housing discrimination against black people in the 70s😂bidens not much better on the issue but come on lmap

[@MitchellColbert]

THANK YOU JOHN LEGEND. Celebrities and normal people alike should learn about issues before getting involved and making hot takes. Kid Rock should stay in his lane and out of politics.

[@davidyohalem629]

And stop shooting Bud Lite (not that it's drinkable, but no mainstream brewery stuff is.)

[@nikig2382]

“Kid Rock should stay in his lane and out of politics.” Truer words have never been spoken lol.

[@DennisMoore664]

I don't know. Kid Rock seems like a good choice to represent Trump. Rich white trash representing rich white trash.

[@patriciasheldon6273]

Appreciate JL and anyone who has public attention and speaks out

[@dlcs1406]

Can hardly wait Jon and John! 🇺🇸💙🇺🇸💙🇺🇸💙🇺🇸💙🇺🇸💙🇺🇸💙🇺🇸

[@adammarshall6257]

Love John Legend, he's really good at putting things into perspective.

[@GONZALEZ-512]

I'm favored, Getting my own Truck has always been my Dream for my business. I just acquired 2 recently, earning $47K weekly has been really helpful. I can now give back to the locals in my community and also support Charity Organizations.

[@ReneKoch81]

Hello how do you make such weekly ?? I'm a born Christian and sometimes I feel so down of myself because of low finance but I still believe in God.

[@GONZALEZ-512]

Thanks to Janice Webb Lavin.

[@GONZALEZ-512]

She's a licensed broker here in the states

[@MoritzStaudacher1]

YES! That's exactly her name (Janice Webb Lavin) I watched her yinterview on CNN News and so many people recommended highly about her and her trading skills.❤️

[@ServioAlmanzar]

I googled about her and yes, she's won my heart. She just gained herself a new client

[@pj280z1]

John legend ive enjoyed you before but now i LOVE you. Keep up the fight.

[@carolemonroe4400]

Awesome show. John Legend is amazing.

[@lindaleg3659]

An amazing snob along with his wife.

[@Bunnybella765]

💙🥰💙love John Legend. What a beautiful artist, singer, and from what I know of him, a beautiful person inside and out. With a beautiful family! Thanks for standing up and standing in for democracy👏 p.s. What an elegant speaker.

[@colleenfede2643]

I appreciate anyone standing up against Trump!!

[@gnjoeyhowell]

I am definitely a John Legend fan now specifically because of this interview. Have never listened to him before now.

[@audreywellham2413]

He’s tremendous all the way around, solid, good man. So talented too. 🙏🏻🇺🇸⚖️💙🗽❕

[@TheHergeea]

This pod keeps increasing my respect

[@carolvasquez2768]

Thanks for having John Legend on. Always enjoy hearing his views.

[@Ivykitty-1]

This was inspiring! Thank you. ❤ I hoo h speaks everywhere and as much as possible.

[@LaLa55629]

Great show!!

[@saNynho]

This pod needed more Johns

[@aliceanneacts6164]

😂😂😂 Well with Lovett on survivor, they are down one…

[@bevmosals]

Such an incredible conversation, especially the part about the choice between Trump and Biden not even being CLOSE 🎉

[@lukedixon2938]

Great interview.

[@theresapotter]

JOHN LEGEND ROCKS!!!

[@BobJacobson]

Brilliant conversation! Legend is Legend!

[@Raquater]

27:58 Exactly 💯

[@rosemariebredahl9519]

Re education reform: Research effects of having to store $ in the "General Fund" of each State (analolous to Soc Sec Federal level). This shared virtual bank account enables diversion of funds (replaced with I.O.U.s), which incentivizes chronic neediness so voters will keep passing bond measures. Also, public schools need to share rhe same funding (not be dependent on property taxes from the area their students come from).

[@SeattleSun2013]

Woohoo! 😃👏❤️🇺🇸

[@Ronaldinho1996]

God bless John Legend. This man knows his stuff hands down and could even be running Biden’s campaign it seems

[@Spuzzmacher]

I wish my friends were as interesting and intelligent as John Legend.

[@moshecristel]

Love this interview!

[@kwokfanfan3606]

How can they forget Diaper Don's dismal mismanagement of COVID that caused 250,000 unnecessary deaths.

[@Marshall_Stacks]

At least 250K!

[@sterlingarcher2366]

What?? You do realise the whole world got covid? How about this. Imagine your mind could see further than your tv. Why was America taking such a death toll. Your food is poison. Your people are unhealthy in ways not thought of. Your system as a whole failed. Now you can blame the sitting president at the time. But that is just a cop out.

[@LaRomana59]

And that he knew in FEBRUARY 2020 that it was airborne and much worse than the flu!

[@Target135]

37:34 lol, this was my favorite part of the episode. John Legends reaction to the possibility of Trump winning and replacing Alito & Thomas with younger models

[@azusa9963]

Thank you, Jon and John! I am going to search the music video right now.

[@sirmoonslosthismind]

i love the version where someone added in the clip of john boehner shouting "hell no you can't!" as an attempted counterpoint. it wasn't _entirely_ fair to boehner, but however nice he might seem in comparison to today's monsters, he was certainly enough of an asshole to have earned it.

[@brendabiffibaldovino8306]

Thank you so much for sharing💙💙💙

[@mvm3016]

Fantastic interview.

[@KnialPiper]

Vote!

[@MargaretPinard]

Great talking points and comebacks toward the end! 💯

[@DennisMoore664]

Really glad John brought up Project 2025. Everyone on every podcast between now and election day needs to keep driving home how truly terrible the whole thing is, who it benefits, and who is behind it.

[@SnoozeAddict]

Celebrities are voters too. They should be just as involved in politics as any other American. I think it's great that some use their platform for good.

[@nancybeckett2136]

💙💙💙

[@Andrei-w5p]

Thank you John

[@dlcs1406]

Thanks Jon, saved this one

[@hanhan7395]

Thank you for mentioning the electoral college John Legend!

[@kellylewis7190]

Had no idea what a decent, smart, good guy John Legend is. It's refreshing to hear someone who has such a practical take on politics.

[@naylas3908]

Listening from Europe. Thanks for this episode!

[@ronaldgamber1181]

My Obama tee shirt came back into style

[@sophieoshaughnessy9469]

progressive is not the opposite of patriotic.

[@paulhenry8174]

Jesse Jackson’s appearance on snl just after the convention was one of the most eye opening moments of my life. My big moment was rooting for the underdog in a presidential election. McGovern lost. I got laughed at by everyone else in my grade. Nixon got impeached and forced to resign. One kid told me I was right. Nobody had an opinion before I asked who they wanted to win. Lots came back with reasons for supporting Nixon afterwards, informed by their parents. People don’t follow leaders they follow the moving butt in front of them. Biden isn’t moving fast enough to draw attention right now. Hope he picks up the pace.

[@Turquoise.Violin]

[@MargaretPinard]

And aside from the calculations artists make about winning or losing fans, there's also the calculations for changing people's minds... 🙏🏼

[@phriedokra6158]

Look at YOU!!! THE LEGEND!

[@thermodynamics458]

Nice Aran sweater.

[@davidyohalem629]

I'm not sure it's more than an Aran pattern. They knit their's tightly and you can see through his.

[@deborahdunn7844]

Always admired Mr. Legend😊

[@ronaldgamber1181]

If convicted doesn't a NYC felony make hi non eligible to vote in Florida

[@stefaniemagee]

I have wondered about this.

[@davidyohalem629]

You needn't be a registered voter to run for office.

[@rosemariebredahl9519]

👍 Thank you

[@rita6314]

Would be great if John did a big fundraising with all the big names in movies and music he could get. it would help to get the young people focused on the election. It's so important a big event is needed.❤❤❤

[@tammystockley-loughlin7680]

I was already a fan of John Legend and his family...and happy to know that if we were neighbors, we'd be friendly. Positive vibes from New Hampshire, remember to be kind to each other and yourself during these trying times.

[@GlennRobinson777]

Well done on the EGOT! (why can I never hear this term without thinking of Tracy Jordan's neck chain?)

Don't leave our DiNero

[@AffectionateAirboat-gk3zo]

John and his wife really got on my nerves for awhile (think it’s best not to put out how gooey- in-love and perfect you are, famous or not) but I have a deeper appreciation for John now and am so disappointed more celebrities like him and de Niro aren’t putting themselves out there.

[@sirmoonslosthismind]

being a celebrity is a fickle thing, and most people hesitate to risk their own livelihood for anyone or anything else. celebrities aren't special that way.

[@iheartdiscgolf]

I love John and Chrissy. Two great people.

[@TracySpringman-s8i]

A Man named legend, that truly deserves the name Legend. Ironic that his name is legend when he has become such, and I think it’s not just because of the music but because as a man and as a human, he has stepped up and I think that’s what makes him his name. Take Care & Be Safe

[@SimpleSolutionsFitness]

John legend?!❤

[@colleenfede2643]

I always liked you but more I'm a bigger fan because of your political advocacy.

[@TracySpringman-s8i]

Oh I forgot to mention how much I admire his amazing wife.

[@Wico90YT]

It's Podcast week and Lovett is on an island eating bugs

[@iheartdiscgolf]

He saw Jon and Max doing the offline challenge and was like "Hold my beer".

[@ErutS]

There is always like AO Hirschman;; Rhetoric of Reaction

[@jessicabartolo9597]

Not a lot of independent thinkers here smh JL said on an article that the economy is doing quite well… well idk if we’re even on the same planet then because right here in the US the economy keeps getting worse. Inflation is up, interest rates are up most Americans can’t afford to buy a house, gas is too high, grocery prices are up, I see more homeless ppl out in the streets but the “economy is doing quite well”, delusional just like Brandon. FJB

[@ronaldgamber1181]

Bond for appeals

[@gnjoeyhowell]

Legend 2028!

[@LonneLou]

John makes a more meaningful impact on Biden accomplishments than the President himself. Maybe John need to be his speech writer because the existing writer is not doing a good job. John and Wes Moore needs stomp for their candidate.

[@jfrsnjhnsn]

They remember what they are told to remember, how they are told to remember it. And what the whole rest of the world knows, they’ve never heard about.

[@NikosZaidGomez]

I think leaning into having celebrities like Legend campaigning is not a good idea. I think we need really, really average people doing the campaigning in the swing states. I also think that engaging people from those communities to be surrogates is even more effective, given the conversations on this channel about how important person-to-person canvassing is. So targeting those people not only as voters, but as volunteers for the campaign is better, because then ideally they can spread the message in an even more organic way.

[@defonzamcilwain9838]

Speaking as a African American I don't understand why some African Americans continue to live in the past. I'm proud to say that I've never been on the Democrat plantation!

[@renegadeoffunk32]

I dont necessarily think that voters have amnesia. They just don't want trump or biden but Trumps voters are more excited to vote for him and those for Biden don't want to admit reality right now. Hopefully they realise the gravity of the situation in November and don't kiss this country, our ideals and values and our democracy goodbye.

[@TheHauntedKiwi]

Hopefully Biden realizes that he doesn't want to become the man who ended Democracy and gives up his failed campaign

[@ChristopherShannon-p6y]

John legend was born in 1978 he we 10 years old in 1988 where he said he watched Jesse Jackson speak at the convention. That’s bull what 10 year old watched the convention especially back then .

[@rickyspanish928]

That's the thing it isn't uncool to vote for Joe

[@sterlingarcher2366]

Only inside America could this insanity be uttered. The guy is gone, lost it. The rest of the world can see it, unsettling that Americans have become so us or them.

[@laswader9537]

I feel sorry for all of you libs. Bless your heart.

[@PoliticKing7]

[@TheHauntedKiwi]

No they don't like genocide

[@rileymcphee9429]

The further along we get in this election, the more Trump v Biden feels like Hitler v Hindenburg.

[@sterlingarcher2366]

Oh yeah? Who is who tho?? I know one is inching the world closer to world war 3. But hey don't ask me. Ask the rest of the world outside the good old insane USA.

[@kimp.dr.n2652]

Definitely do not listen to Legend and Teigen.

OI. West Wing is still a great show, even if the politics are a mite bit dated.

"I remember right around September 11, JA R.U.L.E. was on MTV. That’s what they said. “We got JA R.U.L.E on the phone. Let’s see what JA’s thoughts are on this tragedy.” Who gives a fk what JA R.U.L.E thinks at a time like this? This is ridiculous. I don’t want to dance, I’m scared to DEATH! I want some answers that JA R.U.L.E *might not* have right now. You think when bad sht happens to me, I’ll be in the crib like -- “Oh! My God, this is terrible! Could somebody please... Find JA R.U.L.E, get hold of this mf'er, so I can make SENSE of all this? WHERE is JAAA? Help me, Ja Rule....” - D Chapelle
