Former first lady Michelle Obama said, “We cannot take this democracy for granted.”
Host Jay Shetty asked, “What is the thing that keeps you up at night now, or what is your biggest fear now, after having overcome so many?”
“It has less to do with me personally and more to do with the world that we’re in,” replied Obama.
“There’s such thing as ‘knowing too much,’ and when you’ve been married to the president of the United States who knows everything about everything in the world, sometimes you just want to turn it off,” she continued.
“Those are the things that keep me up, because you don’t have control over them. And you wonder, where are we in this? Where are our hearts? What’s gonna happen in this next election?” asked the former first lady.
“I am terrified about what could possibly happen, because our leaders matter. Who we select, who speaks for us, who holds that bully pulpit affects us in ways that sometimes I think people take for granted,” she continued.
