<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/james-okeefe" target="_blank" rel="noopener">James O&#8217;Keefe</a> released new video Wednesday from a sting operation in which he talked to a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/white-house" target="_blank" rel="noopener">White House</a> official who offered insight into private White House deliberations about myriad issues concerning President Joe Biden and the 2024 election, including the mental decline of the president and widespread dissatisfaction with Vice President Kamala Harris.
The guerrilla journalist said he met with Charlie Kraiger, a cybersecurity policy analyst and Foreign Affairs desk officer in the Executive Office at the White House, earlier this month while &#8220;under cover&#8221; with his hair dyed and fake eye glasses. The two were at a restaurant in the Washington, D.C. area, with drinks on the table on what appears to have been <a href="https://twitter.com/JamesOKeefeIII/status/1751767022264811885" target="_blank" rel="noopener">premised as a date</a>.
&#8220;Not only did he not recognize me, he sang like a bird,&#8221; O&#8217;Keefe said in presenting his <a href="https://twitter.com/JamesOKeefeIII/status/1752786076320600511" target="_blank" rel="noopener">roughly 13-minute video</a> published to X on Wednesday.
He also noted that Kraiger had begun to scrub his social media footprint after their meet-up, although a LinkedIn page with his name was still active as of press time showing employment in the Executive Office of the President since December 2020 and prior experience working at the State Department and the U.S. Agency for International Development.
Cameras that captured their conversation appeared to have been positioned with a group sitting a couple tables away and on O&#8217;Keefe&#8217;s wrist. In response to questioning by O&#8217;Keefe, Kraiger acknowledged concerns about Biden&#8217;s mental health and suggested that Vice President Kamala Harris is being kept on as his 2024 running mate because of her sex and race despite low approval numbers.
Asked by O&#8217;Keefe if Biden will indeed end up being the nominee, Kraiger said, &#8220;Yes, and [Kamala Harris] will be the vice president nominee,&#8221; adding, &#8220;There was a debate about removing her from the ticket, but sadly they didn&#8217;t.&#8221;
&#8220;She&#8217;s not popular, but you can’t remove the first black lady to be vice president from the godd*mn presidential ticket,&#8221; said Kraiger. &#8220;Like what kind of message are you going to send to like African-American voters? How would you spin that? People would be like what the f***? Like she&#8217;s a woman and she&#8217;s multiracial.”
When O&#8217;Keefe pressed Kraiger about Biden suffering from what O&#8217;Keefe described as &#8220;dementia,&#8221; Kraiger said, &#8220;He&#8217;s definitely slowing down.&#8221;
“I think they need to get rid of him or her,” Kraiger said. “But no one in modern history has ever said, like, ‘We&#8217;re not going to renominate the president for a second term.’”

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Kraiger also talked about <a href="https://www.mlive.com/news/kalamazoo/2011/10/galesburg_college_student_chos.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">being an intern</a> in the White House, which appears to have been in 2011, and overhearing a discussion in which then-first lady Michelle Obama was asked if she would ever run for office. He said the First Lady &#8220;emphatically&#8221; responded with disinterest because of what she witnessed her husband, President Barack Obama, go through.
The end of the video report shows the moment when O&#8217;Keefe took off his glasses and revealed his identity. He then pressed Kraiger to answer the question of what sort of message is sent to the American people that a cybersecurity-focused official was speaking with the founder of Project Veritas, known for its sting hits.
Although Kraiger insisted, &#8220;We&#8217;re running a good cyber security operation,&#8221; O&#8217;Keefe fired back, asking whether Kraiger did his research before the meet-up and what kind of &#8220;clown show&#8221; is being run at the White House.
O&#8217;Keefe teased a follow-up report for Thursday showing him continuing to confront Kraiger outside.

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) predicted this week that the odds of former first lady Michelle Obama becoming the Democrat&#8217;s presidential nominee in 2024 are basically a coin flip at this point as President Joe Biden struggles in the polls and she has recently started doing more media interviews.
Cruz made the remarks during the most recent episode of his &#8220;Verdict&#8221; podcast with co-host Ben Ferguson while discussing Michelle Obama&#8217;s recent <a href="https://twitter.com/realDailyWire/status/1744445424688082993">remarks</a> about how she was &#8220;terrified&#8221; about what could happen in 2024.
Cruz said that Michelle Obama was &#8220;basically is like pitching her qualifications, like everything she knows, because she was married to Barack Obama when he was president, and still is today that she, like knows everything the President needs to know.&#8221;
&#8220;And you&#8217;re right, it does feel a little bit like a pitch of, &#8216;hey, guys, I&#8217;m here, I&#8217;m ready. I can step in, and I&#8217;m willing to do it,'&#8221; he continued. &#8220;And so, I would change as I said, my assessment a couple of months ago was the odds of Michelle being the nominee were 35%. Based on this interview, I would change those odds from 35% to 45%. I still think it is slightly more likely than not that Biden remains the nominee, but I think it&#8217;s 55/45. I think it is almost a coin flip.&#8221;

Cruz warned that Michelle Obama would be a serious threat to run against because of how she is perceived by the public and how the media portrays her.
&#8220;She is a dangerous, dangerous, dangerous nominee because the First Lady has a patina of Teflon, she&#8217;s not perceived as overly partisan, she&#8217;s not perceived as combative,&#8221; Cruz said. &#8220;Now, I think she&#8217;s incredibly partisan. I think she&#8217;s more partisan than Barack is and was as president, but look, if you look at the polling numbers, Michelle Obama is the most popular woman on the face of the planet. And that&#8217;s just objectively true. And a First Lady is protected by that, particularly a first lady that had eight years of the media and Hollywood just singing her praises.&#8221;

Verdict with Ted Cruz

Yesterday, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/michelle-obama" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Michelle Obama</a> — the Democrats’ Break-Glass-in-Case-of-Emergency candidate — sounded off on Joe Biden. 
Here’s what she <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X2vNGwMCw-M" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>:
<blockquote>Those are the things that keep me up because you don’t have control over them and you wonder where are we in this, where are our hearts? What’s gonna happen in this next election? I am terrified about what could happen because our leaders matter, who we select, who speaks for us, who holds that bully pulpit. It affects us in ways that I think sometimes people take for granted.</blockquote>
So yesterday, Biden visited the Mother Emanuel AME Church in South Carolina. What was he doing there?
He was speaking about the evils of white supremacy and the magic of diversity, equity, and inclusion, of course.
Why?
Because it’s election time, and Biden knows the only way he’s going to win reelection is if he has heavy black turnout at the ballot box. That’s been the secret sauce to Democratic electoral victory in recent elections. In 2000, just 53.5% of black voters showed up to vote. In 2008, when Barack Obama was on the ballot, that number jumped to 60.8%, and in 2012, it spiked to a record 62%. Then, in 2016, the percentage dropped back down to 55.9%. But in 2020, when Joe Biden won, it rebounded to 58.7%. Black voters went for Biden at a 92% clip. And voters of color overall represented four in 10 of his votes.
<h4><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/ep-1880-the-second-black-president-member-exclusive" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WATCH: The Ben Shapiro Show</a></h4>
The black vote for Biden is going to be especially important because unlike other voters, who voted disproportionately by mail in 2020 — and who probably won’t this time — black voters were the subgroup most likely to show up and vote in person, which means their turnout may not drop as much as that of other groups.
Now, it’s back to the old playbook: racial polarization. And Biden knows how to play that game. Remember that time he <a href="http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/2012/08/vp-biden-says-republicans-are-going-to-put-yall-back-in-chains" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> Mitt Romney — yes, that <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/mitt-romney" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mitt Romney</a> — was going to put black Americans &#8220;back in chains&#8221; during the 2012 race?
So, it was time to head to a historically black church victimized by white violence and proclaim he’s going to stand up against all the evil white Americans who might vote for Donald Trump.
Statistics show that between 2001 and 2013, the percentage of whites and blacks who thought race relations were good stayed steady. Then, after Black Lives Matter appeared on the scene in 2014, those percentages plummeted. They have continued to do so.
Why? Because the more you talk about the polarization between races and the more you pretend that is the source of American conflict, the worse things get.
And our political leadership, particularly Democrats, have a heavy stock in doing just that.

Former first lady and author <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/michelle-obama" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Michelle Obama</a> said she is &#8220;terrified&#8221; by what may come out of the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/2024-election" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2024 election</a>.
In an episode of the &#8220;On Purpose&#8221; podcast, which was <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X2vNGwMCw-M" target="_blank" rel="noopener">posted to YouTube</a> on Monday, host Jay Shetty asked Obama what keeps her up at night.
&#8220;What&#8217;s going to happen in this next election? I am terrified about what could possibly happen,&#8221; Obama said as part of her answer. &#8220;Because our leaders matter: who we select, who speaks for us, who holds that bully pulpit.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Obama added, &#8220;The fact that people think that government, &#8216;Eh,&#8217; you know, &#8216;Does it really even do anything?&#8217; And I’m like, &#8216;Oh my God, does government do everything for us.’ And we cannot take this democracy for granted.&#8217; And sometimes I worry that we do.&#8221;
Recent media reports said Obama&#8217;s husband, former President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/barack-obama" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Barack Obama</a>, has expressed &#8220;deep concern&#8221; about former President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/donald-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Donald Trump</a>&#8216;s &#8220;political strength&#8221; and <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/obama-spooked-by-trumps-political-might-tries-course-correcting-bidens-campaign-reports" target="_blank" rel="noopener">tried to course-correct</a> President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/joe-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joe Biden</a>&#8216;s re-election campaign amid flagging poll and approval numbers.

Leading up to her comment on the election, Obama talked about &#8220;knowing too much&#8221; being married to the president &#8220;who knows everything about everything in the world&#8221; and wanting to tune it out.

She listed wars in &#8220;too many regions,&#8221; the future of artificial intelligence, the environment, education, whether people will vote, and people being too engrossed in their phones as other issues that keep her awake at night.
During a different part of the discussion, focused on what offends the former first lady, Obama spoke about how she dislikes injustice, ego, greed, and racism. She condemned &#8220;unfairness&#8221; and bullies. Obama also decried &#8220;childish leadership&#8221; in which &#8220;somebody is just base, and vulgar, and cynical,&#8221; arguing that the negativity spreads to others.
&#8220;I think we are obligated to model, for those of us that have a platform, because it resonates. And I want to resonate good. I want to resonate reason, and compassion, and empathy,&#8221; Obama said. &#8220;That&#8217;s more important than my feelings because my feelings — I can take care of those.&#8221;

At another point, Obama talked about &#8220;being an other&#8221; and how &#8220;you learn how to be excellent all the time because you can&#8217;t be less then.&#8221; In what appeared to be a reference to Trump, who is facing off against multiple indictments while running a third campaign for the presidency, Obama added that some people &#8220;can be indicted a bunch of times and still run for office&#8221; while &#8220;black men can&#8217;t.&#8221;
Obama also said she hopes her legacy is that she &#8220;helped more young people feel seen&#8221; and created &#8220;a stronger foundation for young people.&#8221;

Users on X hit former President Barack Obama over a viral clip from an apocalyptic Netflix film, which he executive produced alongside Michelle Obama, where one of the main characters warns about trusting others, &#8220;especially white people.&#8221;
In the movie &#8220;Leave The World Behind&#8221; — based on Rumaan Alam&#8217;s book — two families are forced to live together after some kind of technology blackout leaves them cut off from the outside world, <a href="https://www.newsweek.com/obama-faces-backlash-over-netflix-film-1851424" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Newsweek</a> reported. The Obamas signed on to produce the film last year through their Higher Ground production company, <a href="https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2023/09/leave-the-world-behind-movie-first-look" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Vanity Fair</a> noted.
Director Sam Esmail told Vanity Fair he consulted the former president on the script. He said Obama &#8220;had a lot [of] notes about the characters and the empathy we would have for them. I have to say he is a big movie lover, and he wasn&#8217;t just giving notes about things that were from his background. He was giving notes as a fan of the book, and he wanted to see a really good film.&#8221;

Following the film&#8217;s Friday release on the streaming site, people took to social media to blast the &#8220;racist&#8221; scene.
&#8220;Netflix film called &#8216;Leave The World Behind&#8217; produced by the Obamas includes a scene demonizing white people,&#8221; Libs of TikTok wrote. &#8220;White people are the only group you&#8217;re allowed and celebrated to be racist towards and it will be put into movies by the most influential people.&#8221;

Another added, &#8220;The Obamas are two of the most influential people on the planet. Politics aside, you have to agree that their potential power to create good in the world is monumental. That&#8217;s why seeing that power used to promote racial hatred is deeply disappointing.&#8221;
While a third person wrote, &#8220;White people why would you even watch this Obama made movie on Netflix? The Movie &#8216;Leave the world behind&#8217; that was produced by the Obamas is clearly against White people&#8230;.just listen to this taken right out of the Movie.&#8221;
&#8220;Shame on you Netflix for promoting this garbage against White people who are most likely your biggest audience,&#8221; the person added. &#8220;It is time to treat them like Bud Light as Netflix clearly didn&#8217;t get the message.&#8221;

A female Israeli official said that when she asked former first lady Michelle Obama to condemn Hamas for its vicious attack on Israeli women including multiple rapes and murders in the October 7 massacre, she was met with silence.
May Golan, Minister for the Advancement of the Status of Women of Israel, was <a href="https://twitter.com/Now14Israel/status/1731062244077666532" target="_blank" rel="noopener">interviewed</a> by host Erel Segal on Israel’s Channel 14 on Saturday and pointed out Michele Obama’s full-throated condemnation of Boko Haram, when the terrorist group kidnapped 276 girls en masse from a school in Nigeria. Obama, who started a hashtag campaign titled #BringBackOurGirls, <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-35948362" target="_blank" rel="noopener">later said</a> of the kidnapping, “Why, two years ago, would terrorists be so threatened by the prospect of girls going to school that they would break into a dormitory in the middle of the night?&#8221;
Golan slammed women’s groups that have remained silent about the horrors suffered by Israeli women and girls on October 7, saying, “It’s impossible to trust these institutions anymore. From my perspective, they don’t have any relevance anymore.”
Golan noted that Michelle Obama had called to return the girls who were kidnapped by Boko Haram, prompting Israelis to sympathize with their plight, she continued that Obama had said nothing when Golan asked her to condemn Hamas. “Not a word. And we approached her &#8230;”
“Oh, this is new. You approached Michelle Obama — ” Segal prompted.
“Unambiguously,” Golan interrupted.
“ — please condemn the case of the slaughter of the 7th of October, and Michelle Obama did not agree to condemn it?” Segal finished.
“I’ll tell you more than that,” Golan answered. “I sent her a description, in authentic, sworn testimony, by people who told about the collection of severed female organs from women who had been raped, on broken pelvises, about shocking things that … I don’t want to continue to say in the Israel media. We know that the request has been received. She is not in a political position; she can certainly respond. Silence from her, from all the other female celebrities.”

Roughly a week after the October massacre, Michelle Obama spoke at New York City&#8217;s 92nd Street Y. She sympathized with the Israeli women, according to <a href="https://themessenger.com/entertainment/michelle-obama-israeli-music-festival-massacre-daughters" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Messenger</a>, but the outlet did not report she said anything about condemning Hamas.
“I’m like all Americans watching the images coming out of the region,” Obama reportedly stated. “I can say that, as a mother, I cannot wrap my arms around how people must be feeling. I can’t get the images of those young people who were gunned down attending a music festival because those kids were the age of my daughters.”
“Michelle said that there are ‘really no words’ to be offered ‘on that kind of trauma,’” The Messenger reported. Obama then reportedly warned Israelis and their sympathizers not to “harden their hearts” in the face of the murder and savage rape of their women, saying, “What I think about and what I pray for is that seeing those images gives people strength rather than hardens their hearts. Because when our hearts get hardened because of those kinds of acts, then we lose sight, and we lose our resolve for peace, and that’s something we cannot do.”

There’s only so big a house you can have. There’s only so many nice trips you can take. I mean, it’s enough” — got paid over $700,000 for a one-hour speech in Germany.
Michelle Obama spoke at a start-up event held near the annual Oktoberfest beer festival; the event’s webpage said roughly 5,000 people would hear her speak about how to “push past self-doubt while discussing the importance of inclusivity and diversity.” The organizers of the event said Michelle Obama “topped the list” of prospective speakers for the event.
“They really pulled out all the stops to get her,” one source told <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12559675/michelle-obama-pay-munich-conference-speech.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Daily Mail</a>. “It’s one of the highest fees that they have ever paid.”
The Obamas have raked in the cash since Barack Obama left office; they got a $65 million deal with Penguin for their memoirs and signed a multi-year contract with Netflix in 2018. Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos was a supporter of Obama and his wife was Obama’s Ambassador to the Bahamas from 2009 to 2011.
In 2019, the Obamas’ company, Higher Ground Productions, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/obamas-new-production-company-gets-deplorable-james-barrett" target="_blank" rel="noopener">demanded</a> that another company, founded in 2008 as Higher Ground Enterprises and devoted to helping authors publish e-books, renounce its trademark. <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/thr-esq/barack-obamas-production-company-runs-a-trademark-problem-1236219" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Hollywood Reporter</a> (THR) noted that Higher Ground Productions asked the U.S. Patent &amp; Trademark Office to cancel the trademark registration for “Higher Ground Enterprises.”
THR reported, “Higher Ground Enterprises is run by Hanisya Massey, who, according to her attorney Larry Zerner, is in the business of helping authors publish e-books. … On April 10, a Trademark Examiner refused to register the Obamas&#8217; claimed mark with a nod to the one held by Massey. The Obamas … argued the two marks could co-exist in the marketplace.”
The Obamas’ production company stated:
<blockquote>
The consumers of “media production services” covered by the Application are likely to be highly sophisticated. Media production services are generally offered not to individual consumers but to commercial entities and professionals in their field. Indeed, Applicant has entered a deal with Netflix in connection with its media production services. Such customers, whether multi-billion-dollar media companies or smaller commercial entities in need of media production services, will exercise the height of care in selecting a media production company and are highly unlikely to be confused by a photographer or e-book publisher — particularly when the other party uses a distinguishable mark.
</blockquote>
The U.S. Trademark Office disagreed, countering, “The overriding concern is not only to prevent buyer confusion as to the source of the goods and/or services, but to protect the registrant from adverse commercial impact due to use of a similar mark by a newcomer.”
THR continued, “In a petition to cancel, the Obamas essentially allege that Massey doesn&#8217;t deserve a trademark because ‘Higher Ground Enterprises’ wasn&#8217;t actually in use at the time of its 2016 registration. (An online search turns up some early incorporation filings, though the digital trail at least seems thin.)”
Zerner furiously replied, “The Obamas have known for almost a year that their Higher Ground trademark application was rejected by the USPTO because it infringed my client&#8217;s rights. Instead, of simply picking another name, the Obamas&#8217; lawyers have now filed a meritless petition to cancel my client&#8217;s trademark so they can take it for themselves. This is really deplorable behavior. I hope that the Obamas realize that these actions are not consistent with the values they preach and that they instruct their attorneys to immediately dismiss the petition.”

Michelle Obama Gets $700k For Speech In Germany: Report

Germany

speech

Sen. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/ted-cruz" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ted Cruz</a> (R-TX) said this week that he believes that Democrats will likely seek to replace President Joe Biden ahead of the 2024 presidential election and that they will do so by bringing in Michelle Obama.
Cruz made the remarks during an episode of his &#8220;Verdict&#8221; podcast with co-host Ben Ferguson while discussing the mainstream media&#8217;s recent push for Biden to not run again.
&#8220;Here&#8217;s the scenario that I think is perhaps most likely and most dangerous,&#8221; Cruz said. &#8220;In August of 2024, the Democrat kingmakers jettison Joe Biden and parachute in Michelle Obama.&#8221;
&#8220;So, Michelle Obama, number one, you don&#8217;t infuriate African American women, which is a critical part of the constituency that Democrats are relying on to win,&#8221; Cruz said. &#8220;But number two, you avoid the problem if you pick from any of the four, the other three are pissed [Elizabeth Warren, Pete Buttigieg, Kamala Harris, Gavin Newsom], because they&#8217;re all, to some extent, peers, they&#8217;re rivals, they&#8217;re all jabbing knives at each other.&#8221;
Cruz said he didn&#8217;t know if Michelle Obama would want to be president, but said that former President Barack Obama is effectively running the Biden administration right now and that he could be running the country again if Michelle was elected.
&#8220;And that ought to scare the hell out of anyone who is unhappy about the direction this country is going and doesn&#8217;t want us to go even crazier, in an even worse direction,&#8221; Cruz said, adding that Biden would turn himself into a hero of the Democratic Party if he announced that he was not running for re-election.
&#8220;They immediately start carving him on Rushmore, figuratively speaking, the Rushmore of socialists,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Joe Biden would permanently, look, he aspires to be the next FDR. And part of how Democrats would get him to step down is by saying, &#8216;By doing this, you’re the next FDR; by doing this, you&#8217;re George Washington, stepping down after two terms. You&#8217;re demonstrating the ultimate statesmen principle.'&#8221;

&#8220;The Democrats are top-down, the Democrats are command and control,&#8221; Cruz later added. &#8220;And it&#8217;s because Michelle has a claim to already being at a higher level in the Democrat pecking order than any of the other contenders. It&#8217;s the only solution for Democrat power brokers that doesn&#8217;t cause a civil war.&#8221;

Cruz Reveals ‘Most Likely And Most Dangerous’ Candidate Democrats Will ‘Parachute In’ To Replace Biden

The biographer for former President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/barack-obama" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Barack Obama</a> made explosive statements during a lengthy interview published this week by Tablet Magazine.
Historian David Garrow — who wrote Obama&#8217;s 2017 biography &#8220;Rising Star: The Making of Barack Obama&#8221; — talked about various aspects of who the former president was both politically and personally.
Journalist David Samuels asked Garrow about how he got some of Obama&#8217;s former girlfriends to give him letters that Obama wrote to them while in college and law school, and what was &#8220;the most surprising thing&#8221; that he found from the letters.
&#8220;With Alex [McNear, Obama’s girlfriend at Occidental College], I think she wanted to have her role known,&#8221; said Garrow. &#8220;So when Alex showed me the letters from Barack, she redacted one paragraph in one of them and just said, &#8216;It’s about homosexuality.'&#8221;
Garrow said that the letters ended up at Emory after Alex sold them and that the school did not mention the paragraph in its press release announcing its possession of the letters.
He said that he emailed his friend Harvey Klehr and told him to &#8220;go to the Emory archives&#8221; to see the letters.
&#8220;He’s spent his whole life at Emory, but they won’t let him take pictures,&#8221; Garrow said. &#8220;So Harvey has to sit there with a pencil and copy out the graph where Barack writes to Alex about how he repeatedly fantasizes about making love to men.&#8221;
While talking about some of the other girlfriends that Obama had, Garrow began discussing Obama&#8217;s book, &#8220;Dreams from My Father.&#8221;
<a href="https://onelink.to/dwapp">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILY WIRE APP</a>
&#8220;When I start reading about Barack in early ’08, I read Dreams and thought, &#8216;This is a crock.&#8217; It’s not history,&#8221; he said. &#8220;It’s all make-believe. Who knows what the real story is?&#8221;
Garrow said that the first time he met Obama at the White House in the Oval Office, Obama had with him &#8220;this big pile of all his journals over the years.&#8221;
&#8220;And he’s arranged it this way on purpose—to show me that he has them, and so he can tell me that I can’t see them,&#8221; he said. &#8220;He’s got this big sack, I want to call it a cloth sack or a canvas sack, in the bottom of which are the journals. And then on the top of it is the typescript printout of my manuscript. So he’s carrying them around together.&#8221;
Garrow said that the materials Obama had included were his letters to and from one of his girlfriends and that they would likely never be made public. &#8220;I wouldn’t be astonished if he burns them,&#8221; he said.
When asked why Obama did not want anyone to see his journals and letters, Garrow said, &#8220;He wants people to believe his story. For me to conclude that Dreams from My Father was historical fiction—oh God, did that infuriate him.&#8221;
Garrow discussed various failures of Obama&#8217;s presidency, including foreign policy and Obamacare, and that he was not really an ideological president, he just wanted to be seen as successful.
&#8220;I’ve sometimes said to people that I think Barack is actually just as insecure as Trump, but in ways that are not readily perceived by the vast majority of people,&#8221; Garrow said. &#8220;I think that’s probably my most basic takeaway.&#8221;
When later asked if he could see Obama on the Supreme Court, Garrow said: &#8220;He’d be terrible because he’s too lazy. This is in the book. It goes back to him being Hawaiian. At one point, he says, &#8216;I’m fundamentally lazy and it’s because I’m from Hawaii.&#8217; That’s close to the actual quote.&#8221;

Widow Of Obama Family Chef Speaks Out After Husband Found Dead

Martha's Vineyard

Massachusetts

A top chef for President Barack Obama&#8217;s White House kitchen staff was found dead on Monday after a paddle boarding accident occurred in the Edgartown Great Pond near the former president&#8217;s multi-million dollar mansion on Martha&#8217;s Vineyard, state police said.
Tafari Campbell, 45, who worked as a sous chef for the former first family, was visiting Martha&#8217;s Vineyard from Dumfries, Virginia, at the time of his passing, authorities said.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Campbell went missing on Sunday evening after local authorities reportedly received a call from the Obama residence saying an adult male paddle boarder struggled to stay above the water&#8217;s surface until submerging and did not resurface, local media <a href="https://www.mvtimes.com/2023/07/24/search-missing-paddle-boarder-great-pond/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>.
&#8220;A male paddle boarder who had gone into the water appeared to briefly struggle to stay on the surface, and then submerged and did not resurface. &#8230; Another paddle boarder was on the pond with him at the time and observed him go under the water,&#8221; police said.
After several state and local emergency personnel, including the U.S. Coast Guard, arrived on the scene, Massachusetts State Police divers recovered Campbell&#8217;s body approximately 100 feet from the shore shortly before 10 a.m. on Monday. Authorities <a href="https://www.mspnews.org/post/update-2-msp-divers-environmental-police-recover-body-of-paddle-boarder-from-edgartown-great-pond" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> they located Campbell&#8217;s body using a boat with an attached side-scan sonar system and aerial support from MSP and U.S. Coast Guard helicopter crews.
Obama, who purchased the nearly 7,000-square-foot Martha&#8217;s Vineyard estate in 2019 for $11.75 million, sits yards away from the pond where authorities discovered the former White House kitchen staff member, according to <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12331627/Desperate-search-paddleboarder-43-went-missing-water-Marthas-Vineyard.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Daily Mail</a>.
&#8220;President and Mrs. Obama were not present at the residence at the time of the accident,&#8221; Massachusetts State Police said.
The Obama family said they are &#8220;grieving the loss of a truly wonderful man.&#8221;
&#8220;Tafari was a beloved part of our family,&#8221; the family said. &#8220;When we first met him, he was a talented sous chef at the White House — creative and passionate about food, and its ability to bring people together. In the years that followed, we got to know him as a warm, fun, extraordinarily kind person who made all of our lives a little brighter.
&#8220;That&#8217;s why, when we were getting ready to leave the White House, we asked Tafari to stay with us, and he generously agreed. He&#8217;s been part of our lives ever since, and our hearts are broken that he&#8217;s gone,&#8221; the statement continued. &#8220;Today we join everyone who knew and loved Tafari — especially his wife Sherise and their twin boys, Xavier and Savin — in grieving the loss of a truly wonderful man.&#8221;

He was known for brewing White House honey ale beer harvested from the South Lawn garden at the White House.
