President Obama got so much hate this week from MAGA and from Trump about the Cheesecake Factory joke about going after the president and all this stuff. So what do you do? He turned around and doubled down, tripled down, quadrupled down, brought down the house in Georgia. Now, my background is a little different because I was literally getting ready to go to bed eating some dessert. And I was watching Obama speak and I realized, oh my god, he may have just sealed Georgia for Democrats in a way that no one else could have done. President Obama brought the house down to a pack crowd of over 10,000 people. Meanwhile, juxtaposed to Donald Trump and Ohio, where Trump barely filled a 1,000 seat arena. So it's going to be a lot of Obama. I'm going to just show you a bunch of clips because I think it's important that the world sees this. Like, comment, share, and if you can subscribe as we're on the road to a million subscribers. We got to just jump right into Obama talking about Donald Trump's cheesecake factory, the White House, the gold-gilded White House, and how he is essentially playing arts and crafts while we're at war. Take a listen. This is a fact. I'm not making this up. He, the president of the United States, is spending time super gluing gold medallions to the mantle in the old office. I am not making this up. He is literally doing arts and crafts while we are fighting a war and trying to deal with out of control prices. Now, now, now, look, I heard. But that wasn't the only moment. That was not the only moment. Then, President Obama reamed into the White House, mobilizing the entire White House over the fact that Obama made a cheesecake factory joke. Watch this. That was the interesting thing about how the administration responded to the speech I did the other day. They did not dispute what I said about them being directly responsible for rising prices. They did not argue with that. They did not deny terrorists were contributing to higher costs for families. They didn't say anything about that. I accused this administration based on the facts that they were engaging in unprecedented levels of corruption. The president wasn't even mad about the Saddam Hussein comparison. That part didn't bother him. But he was very upset about the cheesecake factory comments. He took great umbrage. He said, "I didn't understand the work of the artisans in the White House." And they mobilized -- this was -- this -- I mean, it's all crazy, but this was the really crazy part. They mobilized a whole of government response to that joke. Not to inflation, but to that joke. The White House even called the Secretary of the Treasury. This is the man who is in charge of the economy. The person who's supposed to be figuring out how to make your life more affordable. The guy who's supposed to be figuring out how to lower inflation and reduce interest rates, they told him he should hold a press conference in front of the cheesecake factory. No. Y'all didn't see this. This really happened. And the Treasury Secretary, he happens to be a former hedge fund manager worth half a billion dollars. And he was out there in front of the cheesecake factory explaining how he ordered the delicious French dip cheeseburger. Instead of the egg rolls. Now, look, this is not something I ever thought of. Like, I heard this major financial crisis. I never called my Treasury Secretary Tim Gardner. He said, "Man, you got to go to Harvest." Order roast beef. And then he went on -- he went on to talk about how the biggest scandal of the Obama administration was the fact that he wore a tan suit. A tan suit. Meanwhile, there's all this corruption in the Trump White House. You've got to watch this. (applause) Now, let me make this -- let me also add. The prick, because I -- in addition to being a fat guy, I try to be fair. The President is not only interested in home decorations. He is very much focused on enriching himself and his family and his crimes. We have never seen a President so intent on selling favors like this. We have lost count of all the deals he and his family have done -- meme corens, taxpayer-funded contracts for his kids' companies. The guy has made billions of dollars while in office -- understand this has not been done. In modern times. And not a single Republican in Congress has done anything to hold him to account. Has not uttered a peep. Has not said a word to say that is not right. That is not why we are in office. You cannot trade the office of the presidency and policy that affects Americans to make yourself money. That's not what we do. That's what dictators in other countries do. But that's not what we do. When I was President, we would scold other countries when they operated like that. And explain that not only is that not good for your people, it's not even good for business if you have levels of corruption and pay to play like that. That's not how we're supposed to do things. And nobody -- not a single Republicans have said something about it. Certainly not my Collins. Many of the Republicans on the ballot here in Georgia said, you know what, that's not right. Most of them supported him every step of the way. So you remember that drain, the swamp? The only thing they drained is the reflecting pool in the national ball. And that was because of some no-bit contract that got all screwed up. You know, I am old enough to remember when a President wearing a tan suit was a major national controversy. They were very upset. And I know I look good in that suit. I know that's right. I know. It was tight. All right. All right. All right. But I did. Now. And through it all, Donald Trump was in Ohio talking about John Houston's ass and getting protested for being on Jeffrey Epstein's jet. And then I got up and I made this terrible mistake. So, you know the way they speak, and I'll stand usually over here. Or maybe over here. Trump went on the Jeffrey Epstein. [Cheering] You know, there's a guy, not a young guy. They give him $250 paid protestors. [Cheering]
