fuming this afternoon during President Barack Obama's library opening as new polling shows that President Obama is far more popular than President Trump. But not just that Michelle Obama, the former first lady of the United States, brought down the house at the Obama library opening, reminding everyone that President Barack Obama won the Nobel Prize and, well, Donald Trump did not. At the same time, Vance JD Vance is being thrown under the bus, being pushed out to the public to sell this Iran deal that even Republicans say is not good for them. And now he's abandoning Israel in a stunning, stunning display publicly for the first time ever. All while Trump's essentially reflecting pool project goes from bad to worse as now the paint is falling off.

I am getting throttled and censored everywhere today, especially on places like TikTok and I need your help to fight back, so subscribe today if you can. I want to begin by showing you where Barack Obama is compared to Donald Trump right now. Former President Obama is viewed far more favorably by Americans than President Trump and former President Biden. According to a new CNN poll released today, Obama remains the most popular living president by a wide margin. 57%. 57% of Americans have a favorable view of Obama, compared to just 34% who hold a favorable view of Trump and a 30% who hold a favorable view of Biden. Obama also outperformed both Trump and Biden among independent voters, where his favorability rating was more than twice as high as either of his Oval Office successors. He maintained near universal support from his own party. Unlike both Trump and Biden, 19% of Republicans held a favorable view of Obama. He had more cross party appeal than the other two. So Trump is not happy today. And while this speech from Michelle Obama is not going to help, take a listen.
Michelle Obama
Unflappable at every turn, always focused, always calm, always looking at the long view. How absurd it is to even imagine that you might have buckled under the pressure even once, lashed out in frustration, lost your temperature. How absurd it is to imagine that you might have done anything but make our family and this entire country proud. No, you. You were too bus. I'm not done. Y' all not done so much. You were doing the people's work, rescuing our economy, expanding health care, ending a war, ordering the bin Laden raid, saving an auto industry, winning a peace prize, Keeping us safe from Ebola, regulating the banks, standing up for marriage equality, listening to science and comforting an entire nation in the face of unspeakable tragedies. And you did it all with such grace and class and cool that you made the hardest job in the world look like a walk in this beautiful park.

Well, here's the thing. President Obama came into the economy was one of the worst economies in history, right? We were just coming out of the Great Recession and he helped revive it. And today, the economy is bad once again. Why? Because of tariffs? Because of the war in Iran. And, well, a lot of Americans are struggling. They're struggling for gas, struggling for groceries, and struggling to pay for healthcare. It's why I partner with a company called Chapter Medicare Plans change every year. What your options are, what you're paying. Now, what's covered. Now it may not be what it was when you signed up. And you'd never actually know unless someone actually looked. That's why I work with Chapter. They're independent Medicare advisors, the only ones that compare every plan nationwide. Their advisors are salaried. They don't get paid to push certain plans. They look at your doctors, your prescriptions, what matters to you, and they tell you the truth. If you're already on the right plan, they'll say so. If you're not, they'll help you switch. Just last year, seniors who found new plans saved an average of $1,100 on healthcare costs. That's real money. It's free. Help in under 20 minutes. Call Chapter today at 864-538-066 486-45-380664. And when we talk about the economy and what we're spending money on, one thing that not enough people are talking about or actually being talked about way too much is the reflecting pool. This is what the national park, the Interior, the Department of Interior put out today, if you want to take a look. The Department of Interior is now putting out this propaganda suggesting that, quote, the reflecting pool water is crystal clear. And our National Park Service team is now vacuuming up the dead algae resting on the bottom of some parts of the reflecting pool. But that's not actually true. Look at this video from today.
JD Vance
There's a nice big chunk.
Political Commentator
Do you see that? That's chunk of blue paint. Chunk of blue paint. The blue paint that Donald Trump spent 15, 14, $15 million to install is now floating in the middle of the reflecting pool. And it comes. The United States is set to give billions of dollars to Iran. And Vance is calling out Israel on the world stage.
JD Vance
Now, I saw the Axios Report. You know that Netanyahu is fuming. That's not reflective of the conversations that I've had with him. But maybe he's saying something to somebody else that he's not saying to me. What I will say, and this does bother me, is that you have seen people within Bibi's cabinet who have come out and attacked the deal and in some ways, very personally attacked the president of the United States States. And I guess my message to them would be twofold. Number one, Donald J. Trump is the only head of state in the entire world who is sympathetic to the nation of Israel at this moment in time. And he happens to be the head of state of the world superpower. If I was in the cabinet of the Israeli government, I might not be attacking the only powerful ally that I have anywhere left in the entire world. And the second message I would give to some of those cabinet members, Bibi, to his credit, has not gone down this path, but to some of these cabinet members in Israel who are attacking the president, United States. The other thing that I would say is that over the last three months, 2/3 of the defensive weapons that have protected your homeland have been built by American hands and paid for by American tax dollars. The problem for Israel is is not Donald J. Trump and anybody in Israel who thinks their biggest problem is the President of the United States needs to wake up and smell the reality of the situation that country is in. Thank you all.

“Do you see that? That’s chunk of blue paint.” — Aaron Parnas
Throughout the episode, Aaron Parnas maintains a brisk, pointed, and slightly sardonic tone, blending legal and political analysis with wry commentary. The episode is informative but also emotionally charged, especially during Michelle Obama’s remarks and the take-down of Trump’s faltering projects.
This episode weaves together current polling, memorable speeches, and breaking developments to illustrate the lasting influence of Barack Obama, the struggles of Trump’s legacy both in approval and vanity projects, and the evolving internal politics among Trump’s GOP backers. With dynamic commentary and a focus on the collision between media, law, and power, Aaron Parnas delivers an engaged, insider perspective on the day’s most significant political narratives.
