From WNYC Studios. I'm Brian Lerer. This is my daily politics podcast. It's Friday, August 23rd.

I know the main event at the DNC last night was Kamala Harris's acceptance speech, and will

play several key moments from that speech

throughout the show and discuss how she was pitching herself to undecided or uncommitted voters.

But let's start with this from last night. Perhaps the cutest one minute take down of Donald

Trump's racism that you'll ever hear. Cudest because it came from

two little kids, two little kids who happen to be grand nieces of Kamala Harris. As you will hear,

they were introduced by Kerry Washington, who made the point about why they were doing this

without ever mentioning Donald Trump's name.

It's come to my attention that there are some folks who struggle or pretend to struggle with the proper pronunciation of our future president's name.

So, hear me out.

Confusion is understandable.

Disrespect is not.

So tonight, we are going to help everyone get it right.

Here to help me are some very special guests.

Thank you ladies. Can you tell us your names?

Hello everybody. My name's Amara.

And my name is Alila, her little sister.

And what are you here to do?

To teach you how to say your auntie's name.

Okay. So how do you pronounce it? First you say comma like a common sentence.

Then you say la like la la la la.
