The president narrates a myth about the creation of the world, and the end of it.

"I'd started to think, 'What's next?' " and the first thing I looked up was Sarah Palin's autobiography," he says. Her version of Going Rogue is picked apart for narration in the new Palin documentary The Undefeated, but even in that it sounds choppy. "I just couldn't get anything useful out of it," says Warren. "The way she speaks, it's almost impossible to pull apart. There are non-natural points that you can't do anything with."
