🚨Obama CONFRONTS Trump and GOES SCORCHED EARTH!!

Former President Obama just confronted. Donald Trump with a major warning. Say. it to my face. If you're going to go out. there and talk about me or the former. First Lady Michelle Obama, say it to my. face. Now, former President Barack Obama. made this final warning and sent this. message to Donald Trump on the All the. Smoke podcast with Matt Barnes and. Stephen Jackson. It was powerful stuff. Let me show you what former President. Obama said. posted this on his social.

media account. He posted the full. interview, that is. But here's the. portion I want to show you where he. says, "You notice that he likes to, you. know, that Trump says all of these. things, but he doesn't say it to my face. cuz he's a coward." Those are powerful. words from former President Obama. Let's. play it. >> But I'm I'm not even worried about it. >> Yeah, and then and I I know I I know. >> I kind of like it. >> I do worry sometimes I you know, I've. heard some of the guys in. you know, talk about changes in the. locker room now and how kids are. you know, some of the younger players.

instead of just talking or. playing some bid whist or something, everybody just like. >> Talk to your phone. >> on the phone. >> You know, the other thing I believe in. and and part of what we try to teach. in our leadership training is. I believe in face-to-face. >> Mhm. >> I believe in. uh conversation. >> Mhm. >> So, if this whoever you were talking. about was in front of me, it would be. which has happened a couple times. He. don't talk like that. >> Mhm.

>> Cuz. he knows better. >> It ain't never that. >> And I think there is a. um. that filter of the phone creates a. situation both where people just say any. kind of crazy stuff that they would. never say. >> with no consequences. >> face with no consequences. >> And former President Obama talks about. how he lives rent-free in Donald Trump's. head and he said it's a little bit weird. because and dangerous. And Obama says, "When I was in office, I was spending so much time focused on.

the American people. You think I even. had the time to think about what a. former president said or did or to even. be that petty? No, I was focused on. helping the American people." Watch. this, another powerful moment from the. All the Smoke podcast. Let's play this. clip. >> That's out of sometimes. >> The the the thing about it is. Look, you you got to ask him what it is, but but. >> [laughter]. >> The obsession? >> The obsession. >> what it is. >> I Yeah, what? >> I honestly, you know, I have a room in.

his head. >> Rent free. >> I I. I I have a suite in in in in his in his. head. But the thing about it is that was. always clear to me. Look, first of all, when I was president. the last thing I had time to do was. worry about what somebody said, somebody. said, or what the my predecessor did. They're gone. I I've got work to do. >> You like that. >> It's hard to describe how. if you're doing the job right, every day you got five, 10 things that.

are. real hard. And you have to be constantly focused. The idea that I'd be worrying about. >> came before. >> who some somebody who came before and. and and me trying to measure, you know, like, what's he done today? Look at. constantly worrying about that is a. strange thing to me. It it shows me. somebody who's not focused on the. American people and the job they're. supposed to do. >> And here's another clip right here that.

former President Obama posted about I. guess it definitely seems like we're in. some very dark times, but we'll get. through this. We we've been through bad. times as a country. We can persevere. Watch what he says here, play this clip. >> We always I think have a tendency, partly because the news projects it, to. >> think that our time is uniquely. discouraging or tough. If you study a. little bit history, you know, I do think it gives you that perspective.

of things go up and down. History. doesn't move in a straight line. And the. thing you control. is how you react to it, the values. you've got, and there always good people. out there. >> Mhm. >> There is always common ground to be. found. You know, it's and it's up to you, you. know, how much responsi- responsibility. do you have. to bring. that to the table. How How do you show. up? Um if you show up being helpful and. setting a good example and and and and.

lifting folks up. And. whatever your circle of influence is, right? If you're coaching uh and and. helping out in the community, even. though they're not your kids. If If you. see. somebody moves across the street who is. an immigrant, you know, the way folks in. Minneapolis did and said, "You know. what? I may not have looked at their. papers, but they're my neighbor. And I. see how they treat their kids and and. that reminds me of, you know, my family. And so, I'm going to look out for them.".

>> Do your part. >> If you're doing that, if enough of us do. that, then we'll get through this, just. like we usually have. >> If you know history and you know how far. we come. >> Correct. >> where we need to be is easy to see now. >> You can see how far already. >> Well, you can see it. It's there. It's. within reach. >> And then he wants everybody to know that. even his life after presidency, you. know, that there are things that he's. missed about the presidency like helping. and being a public servant, but he also. talks about spending time with his. family right here. And how, you know, he.

needs to focus on that as well. Let's. play this clip. >> Presidency was over. Number one is is uh. I was in a deep deficit with my wife. >> Mhm. A lot of making up to do. >> [laughter]. >> Time. >> I had a lot of making up to do. >> Time. >> Travel. Fun trips. >> Yeah. >> Hanging out. >> Family. >> Family. >> um. which was a blessing, right? And because. you know, there were certain pressures. on Michelle. that even I didn't fully appreciate. being the first.

African-American first lady. And and the double standards and how how. people, you know, uh had perceived. [clears throat] her. And and she did. such an outstanding job and was beloved, but it took, uh you know, it put some. strain on her. >> Mhm. >> It took a toll. So so catching up with. her was really important. I didn't miss. and I have not missed. all the fuss of the presidency. You know, I like. you walk in a room and folks all. standing up and having to wear a tie. every day. >> [laughter]. >> I don't miss that and.

and, um you know, a lot of the ceremony. and. um. and the attention. Like I like I. uh I wasn't somebody who came in. >> looking for it. >> looking like I just needed. >> Mhm. >> a lot of attention. And partly because. I'd gotten a lot. >> [clears throat]. >> even during the campaigns and. and um. what I did miss was the work. And I miss the camaraderie of doing hard.

stuff with a group of people. You know, you're you're in a foxhole when you're. in the White House, right? It's like. every day. pressure coming, big decisions, life and. death stakes. And. um you it it's a. obviously different, but it's similar to. sports in the sense of that feeling of. you're on a common enterprise and you. you've got pressure and stress. And and if if it goes right, you bond in a way that's different.

Yeah, you know, you hear guys in the. military talking about that same kind of. feeling with their unit, their guys. Um so I miss that. But the thing that I. was excited about, and that's a lot of. what this foundation's about and what. this presidential center is about. is. how do I train and help. the next generation of leaders, you. know, the next Baracks or Michelle's who. are everywhere. Right? Michelle's mom always used to you. know, she'd be asked about what did you.

do to. make Michelle so fantastic and. and and Craig and and you know, Mrs. Robinson who was. one of my favorite people ever. Um I I I. love my mother-in-law deeply. And she. just laughed and she's all like. you know what? There are a million. Michelle's and Craigs. And Baracks. You know, but they might just not have. had just the right break, the right. exposure. And she's absolutely right. about that. And so the the. Michelle and I talked and we said, you.

know, the one thing we can do well, we. even though we're getting kind of old, we can still inspire young people. And if we can. find ways to lift up, support, inspire. shine a spotlight on the next generation. of talent. get them together so they don't feel. isolated, they feel like they're they've. got a team behind them. um that would be worth doing. And so. that's how I've been spending a lot of. my time. And.

you know, the analogy I use is is is. like moving from player to coach. You're never going to get exactly the. same highs. as you do when you're on the court, right? There's a different feeling of. that competition and you're taking the. shot. Right? But there's a different kind of. satisfaction when you feel like, you. know what? I'm working with this person. and they are growing and fulfilling.

their potential. And and you're helping that along. And. and and then you see them. you know, do some. amazing thing and and and. uh. turn into just. remarkable leaders and and you kind of. go, all right. I mean, you know, anything. >> Yeah. >> And let me do some more of that. Let me find some more. Right. It's it's. the same satisfaction you get as a. parent. >> Yep. >> Uh but you can duplicate it. Right. You. know, you don't Now now that.

now that our girls are launched, you. know, it's like, well, come on. Let's. Let's Let's Let's Let's find some other. >> Yeah. That's what we're going to plan to. do. >> to build up. >> That's how we won the championship all. >> He also notes that the presidential. center that he built it's bigger than. just a presidential library. It's like. it's a community center. It's a. presidential center where we can have. athletics and we can have a library. We. could have education facilities and we. can unite the community right here and. and and make this just an incredible. experience for people. Let's watch what.

he says right here. More powerful words. from former President Obama. >> I believed was if I could use this the. excuse of a presidential center to build. a community center. A place where. kids can come in and they got a a. first-class basketball facility, but. also. educational facilities and uh. Chicago Public Library and they can see. world-class art. all in their neighborhoods.

And this became a meeting place and a. place where. speakers can come in and and. you know, musicians can come in cuz we. got a recording studio and help kids. think about careers in music and and and. in art and. have folks when they come to home court. not just to play basketball, but we you. start bringing in. uh NBA executives. >> Mhm. >> and or. you know, PTs you know, to come in and. say, "Hey, even if if you're not in the.

league, there are ways in which you can make a. good living and and be part of. that industry. So, the core. for me was to create something that. was. a tool for the community to build. itself. Um and. have some fun in the process and you. know, hopefully that's that that's. what's going to happen. >> And then he posts reposts this from. Michelle Obama and they just show. they're living their best life, right. now, and that they're out there every.

day trying to spread joy and happiness. and there's nothing that Donald Trump. can do to try to bring them down. Here's. what Michelle Obama posted and former. President Obama reposted. So much of my. story and Barack's runs through the. South Side of Chicago. We had so much. fun going down memory lane with People. magazine sharing moments from the decade. we spent together, the opening of the. Obama Presidential Center and the work. we still have left to do in our next.

chapter. We hope you'll check out the. interview. Powerful words indeed. Shout. out to the folks at All The Smoke. Productions and the All The Smoke. podcast.
