When Biden finally dropped out of the race and endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris, the Obamas – some of the most powerful people in the Democratic party – did not initially follow suit, leading people to speculate that maybe Michelle would run.

However, that conjecture has been put to rest, as the Obamas have now endorsed Harris.

Glenn Beck plays the footage of Harris getting the phone call from Barack and Michelle announcing their official endorsement, which is included in one of her campaign ads.

Did Kamala Harris make a SECRET DEAL with Obama to get the Nomination?www.youtube.com

“It doesn’t ring true to me,” says Glenn, wondering what it “cost her” to get the stamp of approval from Obamas – a very “transactional couple.”

“Not nothing; I think we can be certain of that,” says Stu Burguiere.

“Here’s my guess,” says Glenn. “One of the pieces that it cost was Mark Kelly. Barack and Michelle want Mark Kelly; they do not want Kamala Harris. That's why he hadn't endorsed, and he was hoping that this would all go away after Joe Biden endorsed Kamala. I think Joe Biden [endorsed her] as a slap across Michelle and Barack's face.”

“I don't think [Biden] likes [the Obamas] at all, and I don't think they like him,” he continues. “[Biden] issued that letter and then he came out and said, ‘Oh by the way, I also endorse Kamala.”’

According to Glenn, however, “if [the Obamas] have a chance to turn on [Kamala] and do a coup on her, they will.”

“Why do you think Mark Kelly was such a big favorite of the Obama family?” asks Stu.

"Mark Kelly is the Pacifica," and "[Harris] is the Ferrari," is Glenn's answer.

Claims of GAY OBAMA on Tucker Carlson's show are IMPORTANT, but NOT for reasons you may think

Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson recently interviewed Larry Sinclair, a man who has made claims for years that in 1999, he had sex and smoked crack with Barack Obama.

The interview has yet to air, but the previews of the interview — during which Sinclair claims it did not seem to be Obama’s first time — have been sending shockwaves through social media.

These claims have slightly more weight now than they did in 2008 due to the discovery of letters in which Obama allegedly admitted to fantasizing about having sex with men. However, Glenn Beck doesn’t think the story is the real controversy.

Glenn claims the media is ignoring this story, “hoping that it will go away.”

“By doing so, half the nation knows something that the other half does not. By doing so, half the nation has information that the other side has no idea about, thus causing another fracture and balkanization,” Glenn explains.

As an example, Glenn imagines a picturesque Thanksgiving dinner during which one person brings up what Obama is claimed to have done, while the rest of the family at the table says, “There you go again, making stuff up.”

“This should tell you everything you need to know about progressives and everything you need to know about the media, which are progressives,” Glenn says. “They don’t think you’re smart enough. They want to be the arbiter of the information that you get.”

In other words, it’s not Obama’s escapades that we should worry about, but rather the press picking and choosing stories to give to their very specific and divided audiences.

Glenn believes the “press is also making all of your decisions by excluding information.”

He cites a study that shows that 15% of the people who voted for Joe Biden wouldn’t have voted for him had they known about the Hunter Biden laptop story — but the press wouldn’t talk about it and instead called it a Russian op.

“They made the decision for you.”

Barack Obama PLAYED the Black Community

Barack Obama spotted with BLACK EYE and BANDAGED FINGERS — rumors abound

Barack Obama was spotted in public for the first time since the tragic (and mysterious) death of his personal chef, Tafari Campbell.

Only something wasn’t quite right.

Photographs show the former president’s eye looking bruised and his left fingers bandaged as he played golf.

“That’s really weird,” says Pat Gray.

Producer Kris Cruz has a theory that might explain Obama’s suspicious injuries.

Considering the speculation that Sasha, Obama’s youngest daughter, was “carrying on” with Campbell prior to his death, Kris thinks that “maybe [she] got knocked up.”

Add that to the fact that Sasha was seen over the weekend looking “very sad,” and Kris is confident his theory has merit.

But then Pat plays an old recording of Obama talking about his two daughters, and it’s clear we’ll probably never be able to test Kris’ hypothesis.

“I’ve got two daughters — 9 years old and 6 years old,” Obama bellows. “I’m gonna’ teach them, first of all, about values and morals, but if they make a mistake, I don’t want them punished with a baby.”

“We’ll never know if she was pregnant, I’ll bet you that would be taken care of swiftly,” Pat says.

Regardless, there is no legitimate evidence that Barack’s minor injuries have anything to do with his former chef.

However, because “we’re lied to every single day,” says Pat, “people are going to speculate.”

Former Defense Secretary Ash Carter dies at 68 following 'sudden cardiac event'

Former Defense Secretary Ash Carter died on Monday at 68 years old following a "sudden cardiac event," a statement from his family noted.

"It is with deep and profound sadness that the family of former Secretary of Defense Ashton B. Carter shares that Secretary Carter passed away Monday evening in Boston after a sudden cardiac event at the age of 68," the family's statement noted. It also stated that Carter had "devoted his professional life to the national security of the United States and teaching students about international affairs. He was a beloved husband, father, mentor, and friend. His sudden loss will be felt by all who knew him."

Carter had held the role of director of the Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs at the Harvard Kennedy School.

"A Rhodes Scholar and theoretical physicist, Secretary Carter loved academia, teaching, and mentoring students. He believed that his most profound legacy would be the thousands of students he taught with the hope that they would make the world a better and safer place," the statement noted.

Carter served as Defense Secretary during a portion of President Barack Obama's tenure in office.

Prominent figures, including Obama, current President Joe Biden, and current Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, issued statements commemorating Carter.

Austin said in a statement that "the entire Department of Defense mourns the loss of a towering intellect, a steadfast leader, a devoted mentor to countless public servants, and a great patriot who devoted his life to strengthening the security of the country that he loved." Austin noted that Carter "tore down barriers to service when he made the decision to open all U.S. combat positions to women and announced that transgender Americans could openly serve in the U.S. military."

Biden described Carter as "honest" and "principled" and "a man of extraordinary integrity" — Biden also said that Carter had "opened every field of military service to women and protected the rights of transgender service members."

Obama said in a statement about Carter that "under his leadership, America accelerated its counterterrorism efforts, opened combat roles to women, modernized its weapons systems, and strengthened our alliances around the world."

\u201cToday we mourn the passing of former Secretary of Defense Ash Carter and celebrate a leader who left America\u2014and the world\u2014safer through his lifetime of service. Michelle and I extend our heartfelt sympathies to Ash\u2019s wife, children, and all those who loved him.\u201d

Biden says Fauci 'has touched all Americans' lives with his work' and Obama says 'Few people have touched more lives than Dr. Fauci'

Dr. Anthony Fauci announced on Monday that he will relinquish his various government roles in December and move on to new career pursuits, and President Joe Biden and former President Barack Obama both issued statements in which they said that Fauci had "touched" people's lives.

"Whether you've met him personally or not, he has touched all Americans' lives with his work. I extend my deepest thanks for his public service. The United States of America is stronger, more resilient, and healthier because of him," Biden said in a statement.

"I will always be grateful that we had a once-in-a-century public health leader to guide us through a once-in-a-century pandemic. Few people have touched more lives than Dr. Fauci – and I'm glad he's not done yet," Obama tweeted.

\u201cI will always be grateful that we had a once-in-a-century public health leader to guide us through a once-in-a-century pandemic. Few people have touched more lives than Dr. Fauci \u2013 and I\u2019m glad he\u2019s not done yet.\u201d
— Barack Obama (@Barack Obama) 1661198416

Fauci has been a controversial and polarizing public health figure during the COVID-19 pandemic.

He was a proponent of mandating COVID-19 vaccination. Last year during an interview on MSNBC, Fauci said that while it would be preferable for people to get vaccinated voluntarily, if they are not willing to do so, "sometimes you've gotta do things that are unpopular but that clearly supersede individual choices and are directed predominantly at the communal good."

Fauci tested positive for the illness earlier this year despite having already been fully vaccinated and twice boosted.

He announced on Monday that in December, he will depart from his roles as director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, chief of the NIAID Laboratory of Immunoregulation, and chief medical advisor to President Joe Biden.

"While I am moving on from my current positions, I am not retiring. After more than 50 years of government service, I plan to pursue the next phase of my career while I still have so much energy and passion for my field," Fauci said in a statement.

Obama faces backlash for 'one of the worst tweets in history' invoking George Floyd, Uvalde school massacre

Former President Barack Obama was buried under a tsunami of backlash Wednesday for passing over the Uvalde school massacre to honor George Floyd.

What did Obama say?

The second anniversary of Floyd's death came one day after a teenage gunman opened fire inside an elementary school in south Texas, killing 19 schoolchildren and two teachers.

Obama, therefore, suggested Americans briefly cease grieving the horrific loss of life to "recognize" the anniversary of Floyd's death.

"As we grieve the children of Uvalde today, we should take time to recognize that two years have passed since the murder of George Floyd under the knee of a police officer. His killing stays with us all to this day, especially those who loved him," Obama said.

\u201cAs we grieve the children of Uvalde today, we should take time to recognize that two years have passed since the murder of George Floyd under the knee of a police officer. His killing stays with us all to this day, especially those who loved him.\u201d
— Barack Obama (@Barack Obama) 1653509313

Obama also honored the "new generation of activists" that rose up after Floyd's death, who "raise awareness of systemic racism and the need for criminal justice and police reform."

What was the reaction?

Obama's tweet generated tens of thousands of responses, most of them negative. After all, details of the Uvalde tragedy are still being worked out, while families of the victims are just beginning the journey of grief.

"'It sucks those kids died, but remember George Floyd? He's who I'm still thinking about.' — Barack Obama," Babylon Bee CEO Seth Dillon mocked.
"Children, shmildren. Sure those kids died but let’s honor Floyd, a BLM icon. You are my president forever and I’m Canadian. Your ability to say nothing in such an articulate manner is inspiring. Thank you," professor Gad Saad mocked.
"What? I will be the first to say that it is hard to find the words for the pain we are all feeling over this shooting. But this is the time to support and lift up these families. This tweet was a flashback to your presidency, further division. Stop already. This is not the time," Nikki Haley condemned.
"Let's stand George Floyd on the dead bodies of slaughtered children. This is one of the worst tweets in history," commentator Jason Whitlock slammed.
"What in God's name is wrong with you," conservative commentator Matt Walsh questioned.
"The massacre that happened yesterday does not favor my narrative so much, so let's skip over the parents' grief and remind everyone of a misfortune that does favor my narrative to create more hate, after two weekends of mass murders.Good thinking," journalist Emmanuel Rincón observed.
"While I sympathize with the tragedy of George Floyd, it is inappropriate to use the tragedy of the murder of 18 innocent children in the same breath," another person said.
"Please don't bring George Floyd onto the conversation today. It's apples and pears. Let's just mourn these poor, poor children and teacher. Leave mentioning George for another time. Thought you'd have more tact @BarackObama," another person said.

In the wake of the Uvalde bloodshed, Obama called for "any kind of action," though he did not provide any concrete ideas that could prevent the next mass killing.

Obama attempts damage control after embarrassing video Biden goes viral

Former President Barack Obama had to do a bit of damage control Tuesday after his White House visit resulted in an especially embarrassing moment for the current president.

Obama joined President Joe Biden to host a health care event celebrating the 12th anniversary of the signing of the Affordable Care Act. Much to Biden's mortification, video showing the president wandering alone on stage as the crowd surrounds Obama is being widely shared online.

Republican National Committee Research posted the video with the caption, “Literally no one wants to talk to Joe Biden … this is so sad."

This is so sadpic.twitter.com/pb959HYIQy

Obama took to Twitter in an attempt to save face for the president:

Always great catching up with @POTUS. Thanks for all you\u2019re doing to help even more Americans get access to quality, affordable health care.https://twitter.com/POTUS/status/1511398453552861201\u00a0\u2026

Some of Biden's supporters argued the embarrassing video required more context.
