Is this post that you put up about Barack Obama.
And it went viral, right? It's got nearly 50, 000 likes, 15, 000 retweets and 2 and a half million views. There's a photo of you and Barack Obama. And you say that I've known Obama since 95. We come out of Chicago together. He knows how it works. He's behind the campaign to dump 15 million
Dem primary votes and replace Biden.
This was his choice.
Classic Chicago Democrat machine politics,
selection over election, the bosses over the people. We've been saying that Kamala Harris is illegitimately installed, and that this is 1 of the most anti-democratic things that have ever happened in the history of American politics.
And pretty much
a major black eye
in the party of protecting democracy.
It's quite
an ironic turn. I wanted to give you this chance to unpack this because there's been very much this cloak and dagger campaign against Biden and you're saying that Obama ran it.
Wow, what a backstab.
Well, yes, you know, they ought to call today's Democratic Party the undemocratic
party because how they dumped Biden was right out of the back room.
Classic old time Chicago backroom politics. In the old days, the political bosses didn't look like Nancy Pelosi or Barack Obama.
They were some cigar-chopping guys with pinky rings.
But they called the shots in the shadows of the back room in the old days. And then television and then now s these other things
in Now today, this party would do the same thing
in full view, out in the open, in broad daylight
to essentially pull their incumbent president out of the race after they hoodwinked
15 million Democratic primary voters who voted for him, knowing full well that his
cognitive
issues
were there then just like they are now. And the only reason they did it was because they looked at the polling after that, the disastrous debate he had with President Trump. And so for political expediency, not for doing what's right for the people, they decided to get together in the back room and do what they did and how they did it and get Biden thrown off the ticket. Now what's going to happen then is they have a candidate who the more you see her, the more you don't like her. The more you see her, the more you realize she's just not up to the job. The more you see her, the more you realize
she's a mile wide and about an inch thick. There's no substance to her and she's malleable and moldable and she's, well they're just going to hide it is what they're going to do. And this is so dishonest that a democracy when you actually hide a candidate, They did it in 2020 with Biden that got away with it. You watch, I'm gonna do that with her as well because they're going to keep her really scripted, really tight and away from any kind of interaction with everyday people. And I think the contrast between that style and Trump's
what many people think is sort of an undisciplined style.
I think that contrast is gonna be really profound because 1 thing you'll say about Trump's style, whether you think it's undisciplined or not, I think it's refreshing
because I think it's authentic and I think it's honest. And I think it's why people, a lot of Democrats, working people who don't wanna say it, they're afraid to say it. They're supporting Trump and have supported Trump. They appreciate the honesty of the things he says. They're tired of scripted fake politicians who give 2 minute speeches written by David Axelrod like I did at 4.30 in the morning in Chicago back in 1996.
And by the way, Axelrod used to write lines for me and Obama. And when Obama ran for president years later, because he worked for both of us, I would recognize some of these lines. And I'd say, wait a minute, I said that 4 years ago. Axelrod wrote me that line 4 years ago. Obama was using it in 2008.
So this entire Kamala moment is completely manufactured by Obama, and this decision was made by Barack Obama.
Do you have any insights, since you know the entire team, do you have any insights as to how they eventually manipulated Biden into stepping down?
Oh, yes, I do. They basically used the stick and the carrot, more stick than carrot. And behind the scenes, using third parties, dispatching them to Biden, to his wife, probably to his son, maybe his brother, people close to him, top aides,
they threatened him. I mean, they've known Biden for as long as they have. Obama knows him better than anybody else in politics because in order to be his running mate, the Obama team had to t him. So they've done
all research on on Biden. Bid
a few skeletons in the cl been there for so long
si got skeletons,
many skele
They know it and they
went them stuff and they basic don't get out, we're gonna has not just a few skelet because he's been there f 1973. He's got skeleton, and they told him stuff a said, if you don't get ou to the media that we've n
qualified to be president
were, but now you're not.
They work for us. And so going to leak this to the been able to persuade tha you're no longer qualifi weeks before you were, bu we control them and they so they pressured them an look, but if you get out, will do
to make your land they probably
offer them is how it works. This
is you know, this
reminds me in 2024 reminds me a little bit of Lyndon Johnson in 1968,
When the Chicago
Convention was also held, when the Democratic Convention was also held in Chicago, Johnson orchestrated
Hubert Humphrey's nomination
and did it from the back room. And the way Obama is operating
is, and Pelosi, he's not alone, Obama's not doing this alone, but he's certainly the lead figure, the central figure in this. The way they're doing it is very reminiscent of the old school, Lyndon Johnson, ward boss politics
that was so prominent in the forties, the fifties and the sixties. He
thought it was over in the 70s, 80s, 90s and 2000s and now it's back in a more modern form.
But either way, it's undemocratic
and the decisions are not being made by the working people of our country or the working people of Democrat Party, They're being made by Obama and others from the back room. That's incredible. Yes.
Not a single person has voted for Kamala Harris. Kamala Harris has received 0 votes, 1 0 debates to be president
and had a campaign that failed spectacularly. Didn't even make it to Iowa. Got it. Came in fifth in her home state is California.
She was, she was selected, not elected as, as you say. So you, so I saw this and I thought, you know, this is a little silly. You're saying they actually brought in the oppo file,
Put it down on the desk in front of Biden and said, it'd be a real shame if NBC News got this piece of information about your family. You're saying they did that.
Yes, yes, I do. I say they did that several times,
and whether they did it directly
through the use of third parties.
And it wasn't just limited to NBC News. They share with ABC, CBS,
ABC and all the others.
Y that. What other reason w to step out?
I mean,
just done, he's made
hims figure to be remembered who should have really not been president at all. He's basically he's admitted by his action that he's not qualified to be president. He's not capable of handling the job. What other reason would Biden have to get out except that he was pressured and they told him
basically they were going to withdraw the
support.
Had Biden had the backbone of Donald Trump and I'm going to throw humility away or me who never gave in to the Democrat
bosses who were trying to push me out when I was falsely accused by weaponized prosecutors of things that weren't crimes, conversations that were started by Obama in 2008. They criminalized it when I talked about it, but he went to the White House for 8 years and I fought back. They threw my ass in prison for 8 years after 2 trials and fake jury instructions to criminalize legal things.
I'm sorry to keep going back to that, but it was a hard and long journey. But I saw what they did to me.
And right away, when they realized that I wasn't going to flip on Obama,
they went to him the next day and made a deal. And he sold me out. And the whole Democrat establishment
came down on me for things that were so obviously not crimes. They should have been supporting their Democratic governor. Instead, they ran because I became a political problem for Obama.
And anyway, it's a long story. I'm writing a book about that. But I recognize that he did Biden because it happened to me with a lot of these Democrats and, you know, who were in power back then, in fact all of them. And so,
no, this is how they do it, because that's what they did to me. They came to me with all kinds of threats, and they also came to me through back channels with all kinds of offers that would have made things for me a lot better, my family a lot better if I simply played ball and did what they wanted me to do, which I wouldn't do because I broke no laws and I wasn't going to sell out the people who elected me or sell out the Constitution or the rule of law because the fake charges against me were
a direct assault on the rule of law and the constitution. So I stood up, fought back. I sent a person to the United States Senate against the objection of every Democratic US Senator, including Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden,
and all the others.
And they'd warned me that if I did that, I'd be out in 6 weeks. And that's 1 campaign promise they actually kept.
So you're saying that the same machine,
it's remarkable because I of course know the story, but I haven't put them together. And
it's now just so clear to me, the same machine
that got Biden out
came down on you. And so you've seen the intricacies and the teeth of the Obama machine and how this, how this is being run effectively to get what they want extra judiciously
and against the will of the people.
My troubles began on election night when Obama won the election in 2008. It was a historic night, magical,
in Chicago, Grant Park, hundreds of thousands of people there, first black president, big, big event in American history,
prominent political figures who were all backstage. The governor of Illinois was certainly there. I was the first governor to endorse Obama.
And I was approached by a union boss who was close to both Obama and me, who came up to me and he said Barack called me last night. He would like Valerie Jarrett to be the senator,
wants to know what you want. Can I call you tomorrow? Come and see it and see if we could put something together and make a deal. Basically, that's what he said. So it was horse trading. It wasn't illegal. And so the next day, I mentioned that to my staffers. We begin the process of thinking, what kind of deal can we make? So I'm throwing out all kinds of ideas.
They arrested me on this. They lied.
And
then they went to Obama the very next day. And when they wanted me to say Obama was trying to buy something I was willing to sell when I told them, look, I wasn't selling anything. He wasn't buying anything. This is just politics.
When he was told to Obama that this was the dynamic, they made a deal and
the you leave us alone,
you l the U. S. Attorneys becau always pick new U. S. Att got to stay.
So you stay
you alone, but you don't help this guy. And so that's what happened. And, you know, they didn't convict me on their fake charges at a first trial. They chart, then tried to offer me 18 months. If I would plead guilty to non crimes, I wouldn't do it. And, then they just tried me a second time and just moved the line and criminalize legal things. The exact same thing they did to Trump in New York with fake jury instructions. I think, Benny, what they did was they learned against a Democrat governor at the AAA level how to do it and then they took it to a major league level against the Republican President Donald Trump. Same stuff, same people.
Fitzgerald was the U. S. Attorney in my case. He's tight with Colby. Same ones who did this stuff with with President Trump, Mueller, all of them. They're all part of the same thing. And to me, this is the biggest issue facing the American people because this goes to the heart of our freedoms. Our right as citizens to choose our elected officials in elections that are free and fair and not have prosecutors
fake up crimes, to inject themselves in the political process
and change the political dynamic and taking away the decisions from the people. That's what's at stake. I think the greatest constitutional crisis in American history since the Civil War and that's why, that's among the many reasons why it's so important for voters
who love our country to
p and vote for trump
because a single law was also
obvi politicized
by weaponized
with the Democratic Nation
and the DNC have been work
happened to me to do to Trump. I know this because they did it to me.
Just it, just it.
Absolute bombshell there, Governor. I mean, it's just,
we look forward to your book on this
and you telling the true story about what happened
when Barack Obama asked for his longtime aide, Valerie Jarrett,
to allegedly be shoved into this Senate rule. And Valerie Jarrett still on the payroll of Barack Obama to this very day.
Let me also say Obama was interviewed the day after when I was arrested, 06:00 in the morning, SWAT teams around my house. I was Roger Stone before Roger Stone. They had SWAT teams at my house, the sitting governor of Illinois, right? So, so the very next day they owe to Obama and
he gets interviewed by the FBI. Now you have to tell the truth to the FBI. These things are called 302 interviews.
Now the defendant me, I'm the doc facing these allegations
has a constitutional
fundamental right to Obama's interview, his 302s.
And they never gave it to us. They would never allow it. My lawyers kept trying, filed motions.
We never got them. And to this day, those FBI 302s, Obama's
interview by the FBI is covered up just like 98% of the FBI tapes with me on the phone talking to Rahm Emanuel and Harry Reid and you know all kinds of leading political figures about a legal political deal But all of that's been covered up and the tapes would show how the prosecutors just grossly lied and abused abused the truth But those are covered up today as well. So
All I can tell you is our country is facing
extremely
dangerous
Circumstances today is bad enough.
They
did
it to
a Democrat governor from Illinois. The thought
they can get away and do this to a Republican candidate for
president, former president and leading candidate of the opposition party in America,
it's chilling. This
is KGB, police state style politics. To me, immigration and inflation are major issues. Crime in the streets are major issues. But if we don't fix this,
say goodbye to freedom in America, because the people don't control anything. The Obamas from the back room control everything.
And it went viral, right? It's got nearly 50, 000 likes, 15, 000 retweets and 2 and a half million views. There's a photo of you and Barack Obama. And you say that I've known Obama since 95. We come out of Chicago together. He knows how it works. He's behind the campaign to dump 15 million
