Clint Eastwood is, by far, the best actor of all times. I know it will never happen but I would love to meet him in person and listen to the many interesting facts about what it’s like to be Clint Eastwood.
Biden doesn't have 10 minute discussions with furniture. If Clints doing this in public I'm sure it's much worse at home. He probably fucks his coffee table.
Live from the memory care unit: it’s an old man talking to his chair. There, there Old Man…let’s change your diaper and get you to bed. How many presidents do you see in the room right now? 5? That’s a lot! Can you count to 5 for me? No? Ok then maybe it’s time to get you to bed now.
Honestly this was great why do people think he's like crazy or dumb for this? He's stating that Obama is much like an empty chair, he dances around questions and shit like that, it's like the same.
He wasn't TRYING to get laughs, it was just so ridiculous that people couldn't take him seriously. It was insane, but in a baby boomer way, not a genius way.
He made himself look like an utter tool, and his reputation has never recovered. The first minutes are really funny only if you like laughing at someone with evident cognitive decline. That's Clint Eastwood, sundowning in real time.
Oh you mean cause Biden doesn’t do any interviews? About right I guess. He might get in “trouble” with whoever is actually running the show. Whoever the hell that is
This is truly painful to watch. I used to respect Clint. If Obama was an "empty chair," what would he say to the current fart in the WH? Maybe he's saying nothing because he recognize we now have an EMPTY HEAD in the Oval Office. SMH
@Jacob b You are might be right, but the difference between you and me is that I recognize a tired old guy who needs to go sit down; whereas you obviously can't admit when one is not only tired and old, but he is a sadistic, selfish grifter who is probably cashing one of your checks right now.

This is the greatest political speech in history. This speech handed Obama the election. After this speech--NOBODY was taking about Romney. Thank you Clint Eastwood for helping re-elect Obama.
I didnt get why some called it racist either. If those people took it from the own country part.

All Gaul is divided into three parts, one of which the Belgae inhabit, the Aquitani another, those who in their own language are called Celts, in our Gauls, the third. All these differ from each other in language, customs and laws. The river Garonne separates the Gauls from the Aquitani; the Marne and the Seine separate them from the Belgae. Of all these, the Belgae are the bravest, because they are furthest from the civilization and refinement of [our] Province, and merchants least frequently resort to them, and import those things which tend to effeminate the mind; and they are the nearest to the Germans, who dwell beyond the Rhine, with whom they are continually waging war; for which reason the Helvetii also surpass the rest of the Gauls in valor, as they contend with the Germans in almost daily battles, when they either repel them from their own territories, or themselves wage war on their frontiers. One part of these, which it has been said that the Gauls occupy, takes its beginning at the river Rhone; it is bounded by the river Garonne, the ocean, and the territories of the Belgae; it borders, too, on the side of the Sequani and the Helvetii, upon the river Rhine, and stretches toward the north. The Belgae rises from the extreme frontier of Gaul, extend to the lower part of the river Rhine; and look toward the north and the rising sun. Aquitania extends from the river Garonne to the Pyrenaean mountains and to that part of the ocean which is near Spain: it looks between the setting of the sun, and the north star.
I'm a life long southern Democrat from Mississippi. I'm also a moderate, neither a conservative nor a liberal. But I am a big fan of Clint Eastwood. Party politics play too big of a roll in our society. I believe Mr. Eastwood was more anti Obama than pro Republican. He was quite critical of Romney and Bush both prior to this legendary speech at the RNC. He's obviously right leaning, no doubt. But not a crackpot like the extreme right. A man's man. You just can't help but like the guy. I loved the character he played in Gran Torino. If we had a neighborhood full of guys like that, I guarantee we wouldn't have a crime problem in that particular neighborhood. I am a Democrat but I also support the 1st and 2nd Amendments. It shouldn't be a conservative or liberal thing in my opinion. It should be a common sense thing. True equality means to live and let live, even if you don't agree with some people. Obviously I don't believe just anyone should be allowed to own a gun. But without just cause, its a right I'd never dream of taking away from good people. The same for the 1st Amendment. Freedom of speech doesn't mean freedom from the consequences of what you say. As long as you acknowledge that, you're free to have any opinion or belief. The same for religion and homosexuals. I don't care if gay people can get married. I don't care how you worship. As long as you aren't forcing your ways and beliefs on others, you are absolutely free. This is why I'm neither a conservative nor a liberal. Both are wrong when it comes to true freedom and equality. Anyway, love me some Clint Eastwood.
Sounds like we may have our disagreements when it comes to policies, but I can give you nothing but respect for your willingness to be honest and not blindly partisan. This reply is a year later but I hope all is well!
In the beginning of the video when he says "I know what you're thinking", I just can't help but go directly to "I know what you're thinking. "Did he fire six shots or only five?"".
@@TheAlexdx7 Kinda like Trumps political career. Seriously though it is amazing to look at how his term ended in such a disaster. No other president has fallen that hard on their face at the finish line lmao
I do not understand the disparaging comments. Speaking to an empty suit in an empty chair was a stroke of genius. Eastwood did confuse liberals, however, by revealing too many facts. He is octogenarian so don't expect him to sound like he is 32. Nobama is loved by illegal immigrants on his gravy train, and millennials who desire Nobama phones, entitlements, his unconstitutional health insurance that has failed, various other handouts, and another tattoo. You losers still blaming Bush for 8 years of Nobama's miserable administration and 19 trillion dollar deficit, is like blaming Ronald Reagan for the Civil War.
+Steve Thompson An octogenarian, still making successful movies, remaining informed and relevant, and with the experience and wisdom that come with age. A great man.
Unemployment at record lows, stock market at record highs, interest rates at record lows, violent crime at the lowest in 40 years, gasoline prices lower than they were 8 years ago. Yeah, Obama really has been a bad president...lol.
Cops butchered all over the nation as he polarizes ethnic groups. If you believe unemployment is at a record low, your house is built in the everglades. I see unemployed people's cars in their driveways all day long- EVERYWHERE. Businesses have been driven to other nations because of their tax and spend philosophy. The president has nothing to do with gas prices-- they were over double the current a couple of years ago. Violent crimes are highest in his home town Chicago where no one can defend themselves. Keep drinking the Kool Aid Antonio.
Has anyone checked Clint's diaper? He's about to freeze like Mitch. "I think it's maybe time, whaddayathink, for maybe a, uh, Businessman™" That aged nicely 🤦
7:01 ... I never thought that it was a good idea for attorneys to be president, anyway. . . . 7:30 But I think it's maybe time ... for a businessman. How about that?
HENRY MARTIN Clint is about as senile and stupid as Traitor Trump. TRUMP 2020 - Twenty for treason and twenty for fraud, grifting, stealing, manslaughter and obstruction of justice.
One of the weirdest, most ineffective "speeches" I've ever seen at a presidential nominating convention. Mitt would have been better served using this prime time differently.
I thought Eastwood's bit was smart, creative and funny as hell. If John Stewart talked to an empty Mitt chair at the Democrat convention, it would get rave reviews and be considered "genius".
@tanuj9802 Did I say it was Trumps fault? No, no, no. When you take a real estate SALESMAN off the streets with zero 000 experience in government and place him in the highest position in the country. You blame the BUYER.
@@nursemcfarlane6655 the big problem was that all the countries in the world ignored human rights and liberties, in favor of a controlled society, and trump didn't want authoritarianism in America, when extreme circumstances show up, you see the real person, that's why you see those numbers.
Just a question... Clint says in this speech, that there were 23 Million Americans out of work, at that moment in 2012. So now, in 2015, what's the count? Still about the same? Even more than that? Yet Obama say's the economy is doing so well!
James Lanning Well let's see, at the end of 2014, let's say that there was about 250 million adults in the USA. The unemployment rate was less than 6% at the time. That's between 10 million and 15 million adults in the US. So no, the numbers aren't about the same and are way less than that.
Creepo You put that much faith in what the government tells you? Really? The "unemployment" numbers given by the government, are based on how many have applied for compensation during a given time. And how many are already on unemployment, during that time they are permitted to collect compensation. The "REAL," number of working Americans unemployed is not given. But they include all those who cannot apply for unemployment, for whatever reason. Don't qualify for it. Or have already exceeded the time limit for collecting it. Those numbers far exceed the amount in the unemployment agency loop. According to this article, the "Misery Index for total unemployed in US is 14.7% www.rt.com/business/us-unemployment-economy-crisis-assistance-006/
James Lanning So you mean when Republicans are in office they don't include "they include all those who cannot apply for unemployment, for whatever reason." "Or have already exceeded the time limit for collecting it." ? Subterfuge is the whole Schtick of the right. That why there is only one watering hole for the Rights Kool Aid, its called FOX.
Black Jack When unemployment statistics are announced, they are on all media stations usually. The report gives numbers for... New applications for unemployment. And the number currently receiving unemployment. The report doesn't give numbers for how many recipients have reached the end of their compensation time. Nor is any numbers given, for all those who are out of the loop, not receiving compensation, nor looking for jobs, via the "unemployment offices." So the numbers, as issued by the Labor Dept., are skewed to only include those mentioned, while not including the entire spectrum of jobless and un-seeking Americans. That's not a Republican or Democratic thing. It's actually done by both sides, to give a false sense to Americans, that things are looking up. It's the truth, but not the whole truth... The whole truth, while more honest, is less lovely to tout to the people, when you're trying to paint a rosy picture of the country's status.
+James Lanning You want an unbiased observation of the data then. But you could easily argue that the unbiased observation is still biased. It's why some people don't believe in Climate Change.
Wow, things have changed. Republicans seemed downright cute back then. Give me your Eastwood's, your Romney's, your Ryan's, absolutely! But look what happened to this party now! My god!
might be because when he says "We own this Country" 1 percent of people that look like him, and are with like mind, own 98.5 percent of the wealth in this country, the other 1.5 percent own virtually nothing, so when people of his wealth/mind tell people they're special, they can ride in the front of the bus, or drink from the fountain in the front of a building, some people think they're better/special and this puts them in the same class as him/them. Wake your broke ass up.
@@crashtheproducer9737 sounds as if my statement has been received by a complex of guilt, the word racist was not used in my statement.

He's a good actor, director, producer, but I don't value his opinion any more than I would anyone else. This is entertaining... he's playing to an audience and loving it... he's an actor
Sure. Put all your trust in liberal democratic lawyers. They definitely have your best interests in mind.
He has something to say but you’re unable to hear
I respect Clint for having the gaul to do something eccentric. not enough of that in the world.
It's called early stage dementia
There’s a difference between general eccentric behavior and snorting all the crack seen in Dallas Buyers Club
All Gaul is divided into three parts, one of which the Belgae inhabit, the Aquitani another, those who in their own language are called Celts, in our Gauls, the third. All these differ from each other in language, customs and laws. The river Garonne separates the Gauls from the Aquitani; the Marne and the Seine separate them from the Belgae. Of all these, the Belgae are the bravest, because they are furthest from the civilization and refinement of [our] Province, and merchants least frequently resort to them, and import those things which tend to effeminate the mind; and they are the nearest to the Germans, who dwell beyond the Rhine, with whom they are continually waging war; for which reason the Helvetii also surpass the rest of the Gauls in valor, as they contend with the Germans in almost daily battles, when they either repel them from their own territories, or themselves wage war on their frontiers. One part of these, which it has been said that the Gauls occupy, takes its beginning at the river Rhone; it is bounded by the river Garonne, the ocean, and the territories of the Belgae; it borders, too, on the side of the Sequani and the Helvetii, upon the river Rhine, and stretches toward the north. The Belgae rises from the extreme frontier of Gaul, extend to the lower part of the river Rhine; and look toward the north and the rising sun. Aquitania extends from the river Garonne to the Pyrenaean mountains and to that part of the ocean which is near Spain: it looks between the setting of the sun, and the north star.

Published on Aug 30, 2012 - WHY CAN'T SOME PEOPLE THINK STRAIGHT. AWESOME CLINT EASTWOOD.
Boy this aged good. Romney turned out to be a turncoat!
I'm a life long southern Democrat from Mississippi. I'm also a moderate, neither a conservative nor a liberal. But I am a big fan of Clint Eastwood. Party politics play too big of a roll in our society. I believe Mr. Eastwood was more anti Obama than pro Republican. He was quite critical of Romney and Bush both prior to this legendary speech at the RNC. He's obviously right leaning, no doubt. But not a crackpot like the extreme right. A man's man. You just can't help but like the guy. I loved the character he played in Gran Torino. If we had a neighborhood full of guys like that, I guarantee we wouldn't have a crime problem in that particular neighborhood.
I am a Democrat but I also support the 1st and 2nd Amendments. It shouldn't be a conservative or liberal thing in my opinion. It should be a common sense thing. True equality means to live and let live, even if you don't agree with some people. Obviously I don't believe just anyone should be allowed to own a gun. But without just cause, its a right I'd never dream of taking away from good people. The same for the 1st Amendment. Freedom of speech doesn't mean freedom from the consequences of what you say. As long as you acknowledge that, you're free to have any opinion or belief. The same for religion and homosexuals. I don't care if gay people can get married. I don't care how you worship. As long as you aren't forcing your ways and beliefs on others, you are absolutely free. This is why I'm neither a conservative nor a liberal. Both are wrong when it comes to true freedom and equality.
Anyway, love me some Clint Eastwood.
Wow we are the exact same I’m even a southern democrat from Mississippi 😂
Sounds like we may have our disagreements when it comes to policies, but I can give you nothing but respect for your willingness to be honest and not blindly partisan. This reply is a year later but I hope all is well!
This comment sums of perfectly of everything i feel much respect
He sure knew who Biden was, and still is.
the man makes a living wearing makeup and playing pretend lmaoo yeah MAN'S MAN
Good enough idea! Substituting an empty chair for an empty suit! 8-)
Man watching this from mid 2021 is so interesting.
Clint Eastwood is in his 90s now, but he can still run circles around Biden in the "Where am I, and what the hell am I doing" department.
Meh about the same
Clint is no Dummy
quint is no dummy
Josh lint is no dummy
Rent is no funny
don barlow I beg to differ
This was just embarrassing for Clint
In the beginning of the video when he says "I know what you're thinking", I just can't help but go directly to "I know what you're thinking. "Did he fire six shots or only five?"".
"its about time for there to be a buisnessman" - you got your wish
Yeah and it went horrible wrong, go figure.

4:05 I'm laughing my head off.
Great video. Clint Eastwood a real man not afraid of Hollywood.
but he is afraid of a chair
How embarrassing for Eastwood, after such a stellar career..
I do not understand the disparaging comments. Speaking to an empty suit in an empty chair was a stroke of genius. Eastwood did confuse liberals, however, by revealing too many facts. He is octogenarian so don't expect him to sound like he is 32. Nobama is loved by illegal immigrants on his gravy train, and millennials who desire Nobama phones, entitlements, his unconstitutional health insurance that has failed, various other handouts, and another tattoo. You losers still blaming Bush for 8 years of Nobama's miserable administration and 19 trillion dollar deficit, is like blaming Ronald Reagan for the Civil War.
+Steve Thompson An octogenarian, still making successful movies, remaining informed and relevant, and with the experience and wisdom that come with age. A great man.
Unemployment at record lows, stock market at record highs, interest rates at record lows, violent crime at the lowest in 40 years, gasoline prices lower than they were 8 years ago. Yeah, Obama really has been a bad president...lol.
Cops butchered all over the nation as he polarizes ethnic groups. If you believe unemployment is at a record low, your house is built in the everglades. I see unemployed people's cars in their driveways all day long- EVERYWHERE. Businesses have been driven to other nations because of their tax and spend philosophy. The president has nothing to do with gas prices-- they were over double the current a couple of years ago. Violent crimes are highest in his home town Chicago where no one can defend themselves. Keep drinking the Kool Aid Antonio.
Steve Thompson Yes, he is the reason for everything bad...lol. I once got a cold hamburger at McDonalds, Thanks Obama!
Doesnt take much to confuse a liberal
“My nizzle you ain’t nuthin’ but an empty-chair monologue.”
Has anyone checked Clint's diaper? He's about to freeze like Mitch.

Couldnt they get him a doll that looks like obama to sit on the chair
I don’t see what all the fuss is about, I loved this whole segment. Clint seems like a really cool dude.
This is the epitome of a dishonest strawman encapsulated in this video.
Clint supports Trump.
Insane as can be.
@@Traitorman.Con.14th.Sec3 That proves how intelligent Clint still is. A very smart man. Trump 2020 and Beyond. *Elaine *

TRUMP 2020 - Twenty for treason and twenty for fraud, grifting, stealing, manslaughter and obstruction of justice.
The speech that made the Romney "Brain Trust" throw up back stage.
And yes that really happened.
God bless you Mr Eastwood.
One of the weirdest, most ineffective "speeches" I've ever seen at a presidential nominating convention. Mitt would have been better served using this prime time differently.
I thought Eastwood's bit was smart, creative and funny as hell. If John Stewart talked to an empty Mitt chair at the Democrat convention, it would get rave reviews and be considered "genius".
+RightOne40 yeh it was just everything he said that was stupid
+Noah haoN Yeah it could have been better had be prepared a speech haha :')
+ShenanigansTVLive It was pretty funny though :')
True.
U nailed it!
Clint was right about needing a businessman to take control, he was just 4 years off.
A killer virus in the air and 40 million unemployed. Face mask and social distancing. All under the businessman republican watch. Clint was wrong.
@@nursemcfarlane6655 He was talking to a chair, how right could he have been ?
@@mburumorris3166 If Obama is the chair then trump must be the mask.
@tanuj9802 Did I say it was Trumps fault? No, no, no. When you take a real estate SALESMAN off the streets with zero 000 experience in government and place him in the highest position in the country. You blame the BUYER.
@@nursemcfarlane6655 the big problem was that all the countries in the world ignored human rights and liberties, in favor of a controlled society, and trump didn't want authoritarianism in America, when extreme circumstances show up, you see the real person, that's why you see those numbers.
Just a question...
Clint says in this speech, that there were 23 Million Americans out of work, at that moment in 2012.
So now, in 2015, what's the count? Still about the same? Even more than that?
Yet Obama say's the economy is doing so well!
James Lanning Well let's see, at the end of 2014, let's say that there was about 250 million adults in the USA. The unemployment rate was less than 6% at the time. That's between 10 million and 15 million adults in the US. So no, the numbers aren't about the same and are way less than that.
Creepo You put that much faith in what the government tells you? Really?
The "unemployment" numbers given by the government, are based on how many have applied for compensation during a given time. And how many are already on unemployment, during that time they are permitted to collect compensation.
The "REAL," number of working Americans unemployed is not given.
But they include all those who cannot apply for unemployment, for whatever reason.
Don't qualify for it.
Or have already exceeded the time limit for collecting it.
Those numbers far exceed the amount in the unemployment agency loop.
According to this article, the "Misery Index for total unemployed in US is 14.7%
www.rt.com/business/us-unemployment-economy-crisis-assistance-006/
James Lanning So you mean when Republicans are in office they don't include "they include all those who cannot apply for unemployment, for whatever reason." "Or have already exceeded the time limit for collecting it." ? Subterfuge is the whole Schtick of the right. That why there is only one watering hole for the Rights Kool Aid, its called FOX.
Black Jack When unemployment statistics are announced, they are on all media stations usually.
The report gives numbers for...
New applications for unemployment.
And the number currently receiving unemployment.
The report doesn't give numbers for how many recipients have reached the end of their compensation time.
Nor is any numbers given, for all those who are out of the loop, not receiving compensation, nor looking for jobs, via the "unemployment offices."
So the numbers, as issued by the Labor Dept., are skewed to only include those mentioned, while not including the entire spectrum of jobless and un-seeking Americans.
That's not a Republican or Democratic thing. It's actually done by both sides, to give a false sense to Americans, that things are looking up. It's the truth, but not the whole truth...
The whole truth, while more honest, is less lovely to tout to the people, when you're trying to paint a rosy picture of the country's status.
+James Lanning You want an unbiased observation of the data then. But you could easily argue that the unbiased observation is still biased. It's why some people don't believe in Climate Change.
One of my all-time movie heroes. Should stick to movies though. Makes Biden look like he's on vitamin "C"
It is ridiculous that people made such a big deal out of this speech.
"A grin with a body behind it." 💀
lol got me rollin, amazing comment
Wow, things have changed. Republicans seemed downright cute back then. Give me your Eastwood's, your Romney's, your Ryan's, absolutely! But look what happened to this party now! My god!
I love him. I’ll support every movie he makes
How is this racist though ?
might be because when he says "We own this Country" 1 percent of people that look like him, and are with like mind, own 98.5 percent of the wealth in this country, the other 1.5 percent own virtually nothing, so when people of his wealth/mind tell people they're special, they can ride in the front of the bus, or drink from the fountain in the front of a building, some people think they're better/special and this puts them in the same class as him/them. Wake your broke ass up.
@@CBii11 None of this is racist though...
He said "We own this country" meaning we the people.
@@crashtheproducer9737 sounds as if my statement has been received by a complex of guilt, the word racist was not used in my statement. I used those references only to prove how the 1%ers divide the other 90% or so of people, people that never realize they are being divided. (Now if you're happy the way the pie is cut, so be it.
@@CBii11 he asked how this was racist, and you respond with devision?
I agree: why are so many people angry and mock this? It's light-hearted fun. The crowd is enjoying it as I did. He got A freaking standing ovation. lol
This is the epitome of a dishonest strawman encapsulated in this video.
Republicans give their blind unthinking faith to anyone who fits within their identity. So the standing ovation is irreverent and made even more irrelevant by it being a famous person.
Imagine if both Chuck Norris & Clint Eastwood would have joined The Epic Rap Battles Of History: Barack Obama vs. Mitt Romney rap battle?
