Michelle Obama Gave Two Speeches on the Same Day

If this YouTube clip is correct, Michelle Obama gave two speeches in Wisconsin on the same day. In a speech in Milwaukee, she did not say the word "really." Later, in Madison, she did add the word "really."
To complicate the matter, there are two versions of the Madison speech out there. In one of them, the sound on the word "really" has been nearly obliterated. So in a sense, there are three clips total -- of two different speeches. I think that's the source of some confusion.
On MSNBC today (at least on the Eastern feeds), Hardball showed the bad-audio version of the Madison speech during the tease, then showed the Milwaukee speech during the panelists' segment. Tucker showed the Milwaukee speech; however while discussing it with the panelists, Norah O'Donnell (subbing for Tucker) read the quote from Madison speech. She even emphasized the word "really" as a counterpoint to Pat Buchanan's rant against Michelle.
The frustrating thing is I haven't seen any MSNBC show air the full, clear-audio version of the Madison speech in which she clearly says "really." They are showing the other two.
