RUSH: I have a news blurb here that says that President Obama will address the nation at 5 o\u2019clock today regarding the death of George Floyd and the protests around the U.S. I do not know if this is true. I probably should not even… I can\u2019t walk it back now. The reason why I\u2019m telling you is, see, I thought this would happen within a month of Obama leaving office in 2017.<\/p>\n
If you recall, I predicted even… (interruption) Okay. I\u2019ve just now had it confirmed Obama is making a speech at 5 o\u2019clock. So good. My original source was fine. The thing is this: Even before Obama left office, I told everybody, “Folks, this guy is not gonna sit around and watch his eight years get unraveled. He knows he\u2019s gonna have the press on his side.<\/p>\n
“So whoever wins…” This is before Trump won. I made this prediction regardless who the president would be, if it were a Republican, that Obama sitting around and the first time anybody did anything to try to unravel Obamacare, there he would be on TV denouncing it, and the press would be hoisting him up and be promoting him.<\/p>\n

They\u2019d do everything they could to make sure that the new president would be hamstrung and unable to implement his own agenda because Obama would be out there safeguarding his. And this didn\u2019t happen. Now, the source is KRON in San Francisco. So they\u2019re coming in now, and Eric Holder is gonna be joining him. (interruption) It\u2019s gonna be on his website?<\/p>\n
It\u2019s a webcast on Obama\u2019s website. “My Brother\u2019s Keeper Alliance Town Hall,” is that what this is being called? (interruption) So it\u2019s gonna be on Obama\u2019s website. Do you know if we know whether…? (interruption) You mean CNN\u2019s not gonna JIP this and cover this? This is gonna be website only? Look, we\u2019ll get that all hammered out.<\/p>\n
I don\u2019t want to waste time having you hear me being on the receiving end of little bits of information being imparted to me. My point is that I predicted this, and I was wrong about it. I was wrong about it. Obama did not do any of that. Obama stayed hunkered down in his cave and went over to Netflix with Michelle (My Belle) Obama, and they started making tons and tons of money.<\/p>\n
And then they started buying vacation homes on Martha\u2019s Vineyard and wherever else they wanted one. Now Obama\u2019s gonna do it. Now Obama\u2019s gonna come out and he\u2019s gonna address the nation — 5 o\u2019clock today eastern from a website, apparently — regarding George Floyd\u2019s death and the protests around the U.S. So why?<\/p>\n
I think, if I had to make a wild guess, one of the reasons Obama is coming out now is to deflect what we have learned about what happened in his Oval Office regarding the investigation of Trump. We now know that Obama\u2019s Oval Office led this coup. We know that the people who were implementing the coup — from Clapper, to Comey, to Brennan, to you name it — all were given instructions in the Obama Oval Office in the fateful meeting on January 5, 2017.<\/p>\n
I don\u2019t think… I think the purpose of the Mueller investigation, in fact — as I have stated — was to cover this up. I think the investigation was twofold. It was, “You know, try to find a crime or we can invent a crime that Trump\u2019s guilty of; get rid of him.” But it was also to cover up what had happened on the Democrat Party side of things.<\/p>\n
This was a Hillary Clinton, DNC, Obama administration coup that was run, and it was run… There were three phases of it. There was an effort to sabotage the Trump campaign. Then there was an effort to sabotage the Trump transition. And I believe — I fully believe — that that effort to sabotage the transition had as its lofty goal the prevention of Trump being inaugurated.<\/p>\n
I really believe that from the election through the whole month of December, their effort was to try to convince people that Trump had cheated. “He had stolen the election, he was an illegitimate winner, and he should not be inaugurated.” I think that was the purpose. That failed. So Trump gets inaugurated, and then we got the last three years — lie after lie after lie.<\/p>\n
The Trump-Russia meddling investigation, the Ukraine impeachment story, Stormy Daniels, Michael Avenatti, Michael Cohen. It just never ended, and it was all part of overturning the election results of 2016. And now, in the past two-three weeks, guess where the tail leads back to? The Obama Oval Office.<\/p>\n

So now Obama — with his “wingman” right by his side, Eric Holder — is going to address the nation at 5 o\u2019clock today regarding George Floyd\u2019s death and the protests around the U.S. This is clearly an effort to thwart Donald Trump as the current president. It will not be a helpful thing. It will not be something done to help Trump.<\/p>\n
It will not be something done to help. It\u2019ll be designed as, “We must come together against Trump.” He may say those words, don\u2019t misunderstand. The objective will be to create a news story where the media can say that Obama sought unity among the aggrieved Americans distressed over the presidency of Donald Trump.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s gonna be the narrative, that Obama could sit aside no longer.<\/p>\n
He could stand aside and stay silent no longer. Not even Barack Obama can watch the nation be destroyed from within as it is by Donald Trump. So he felt the need to overcome years of protocol — to violate years of manners and American policy — and he must speak out!He must try to unify America because Donald Trump is doing so much to rip America apart.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s gonna be something like that, folks.<\/p>\n
BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n
RUSH: Now the details on Obama: “Obama to address George Floyd protests in an online town hall today at 5 o\u2019clock Eastern. The former president will participate in the My Brother\u2019s Keeper Alliance Town Hall series,” part of his foundation out there. “He\u2019ll be joined by police reform activists and public figures including [his wingman] former Attorney General Eric Holder.<\/p>\n
“This will mark Obama\u2019s first on-camera comments since the killing of George Floyd sparked nationwide protests. It\u2019s gonna be live streamed on Obama.org beginning at 5 p.m. Eastern.” Now, I have to think that over at PMSNBC and over at CNN, they\u2019ll probably carry the live feed of the event, give the coverage. They\u2019re gonna be anticipating this eagerly and so forth.<\/p>\n
Let\u2019s go back. Where is the…? I just want to remind you, I did make this prediction. Grab sound bite number 30. I said this a bunch of times. We grabbed this one from January 7, 2014<\/a>. This is three years before Obama leaves office. So I just… I mean, this was an easy prediction to make. I just was wrong by a number of years.<\/p>\n

<\/a>RUSH ARCHIVE: Obama is going to stay in Washington. Can you guess why that might be? He\u2019s gonna stay in town to make sure that whatever he accomplishes is not unwound. I guarantee you, folks, even after he is out of office he\u2019s going to be treated by the media as though he is still president. Every Republican — and this may be the case even with a Democrat president. Whatever the next president does, the media is gonna go to Obama every day. He\u2019s gonna have a satellite administration in exile, in Washington. I guarantee you. Do not doubt me. I know these people. I know how he thinks, I know who these people are. I know that\u2019s exactly why he\u2019s gonna stay there.<\/p>\n
