- The 44th President of the United States, Barack Obama, sat down for an hour-long talk with Speedy at the iconic Ben’s Chili Bowl in Washington, DC while discussing his new memoir ‘A Promised Land.’ We connected on everything from his own experiences with racism, defunding the police, the Covid-19 vaccine and whether or not Donald Trump did anything right during his presidency. We also have a conversation about his comments on hip-hop in last week’s interview with 'The Atlantic.' Finally, President Obama pondered whether LeBron will ever reach Michael Jordan’s GOAT status and if he thought Drake was the right man to play him in a movie.

I love how everyone here is so happy for Speedy
He deserves the respect💯
The fact that Barack knows who he is says alot. I seen him in a couple of post game NBA conferences as well.

He’s come a long way
Wow, as a former educator it makes me proud to see this young man speak eloquently and so full of knowledge. All praises.
True.
I'm sorry to say that I don't know much about Speedy. What i do know now however, is that this young man knows how to conduct an interview with the president of the United States! A most excellent interview!!! Very well done young man!
Speedy is really good at this. Should be given his own big show
@Steve Rob no one asked you
like this if steve a little hating bitch tho
Yes! Very good! Better than the breakfast club in my opinion.
He’s a part of a newer podcast on Spotify called “The Get Up”. Listen every morning.
He is really strong. Great balance and doesn't get rattled
Didn't know who Speedy was before this interview.
But folks his questions and interviewing techniques could not have been an overnight success. This young man must have put in the work.
Good job Speedy!
I agree with many of the YT commenters here, this an the Colbert interview are tops.
Same here! So far, Colbert and Speedy’s interviews have been the best because they know when to ask serious questions and when to ask light questions, they both didn’t sensationalize it. I’m finding myself learning more from these interviews than i do on cable news...which is saying a lot.
"Our culture puts a big premium on wealth and doesn't matter how one got it or whom it hurts" -Former President Barrack Obama....profoundly insightful
“You don’t wanna look like the old guy in the club”.
- President Obama
😂😂😂
lol that was a good one
This interviewer is completely new to me, but I am pleasantly surprised. Good questions, usually I get bored with an interview after, let's say, 15 to 20 minutes, but this guy keeps asking good questions. Pleasant voice as well. Kudos!
Speedy been hustling for a while now. Must say I'm impressed.
Don’t usually comment but had to jump in here quick to commend Speedy on a MASTERFUL interview. Here’s why: 1) Active listening done right, unlike far too many out there especially those that claim have been doing it for so long, you don’t interrupt or interject unless you add value, this is huge in any daily conversation and I can tell you it literally shifts for far better or far worse the closeness of people and the respect they build for one another, so this is KEY my man; 2) Asking powerful questions that trigger meaningful discussion, all the way down to nit-picking the “all” vs “many” rappers statement (and how his response was powerful to point out it’s the reputation of a man that matters and general notions vs a single statement that is amplified by media) etc; 3) Scientific balance of questions, you’re not 100% difficult serious questions and you’re not a Comedy Central talk show either. Overall, if you keep this up and don’t ever settle on any of the above points, Speedy, you’re going far brother. Keep it up and of course I don’t need to mention how therapeutic it is listening to Obama in this era plagued by intellectual incapacity. 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽
Perfect.
Well said.
This was a dope interview. Speedy did his homework and asked questions that not a lot of people I have been seeing while Mr. President has been on his book tour. He’s better than the people I’ve seen on larger platforms. #kudos
I’m so proud of Speedy. I’ve watched quite a few of Obama’s interviews on this book-run and Speedy is on par if not better than many of the interviewers. Great stuff. .
i agree with this comment. this interview was great.
I agree!!!
Obama regime will be remembered as the most lawless President in US history! He fake Russian collusion, failed Southeast Asia Sea, did nothing to stop China from islands under his watch, built cages for immigrants, then blamed Trump, funded Wuhan lab in 2015! Obama Cheated taxpayers with Obamcare website costing $2B more than Trump building the wall, when it should be peanut. Obama is a thief not a president!
“In your opinion, what has he done well?”
This is one of my favorite recent interviews that Pres. Obama has done. Thought-provoking questions and thoughtful answers.
Never watched you before, only turned in because of Obama, but I must say you are really good in what you do. I just subscribed.
He is asking legitimately refreshing and interesting questions. Well done.
YT keeps recommending Obama interviews, and I’m not complaining. This was the best of the bunch. It was so well prepared, respectful, had excellent depth. Thank you!
I remember like a year ago Speedy was interviewing Trippie Redd now its Obama This is a big come up for my guy

I love that Speedy brought up the rap music comment, because this gave Obama a chance to explain what he meant. It also shows how caught up in semantics we get, and that we would let that get in the way of the true message.
👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
Speedy a certified complex LEGEND at this rate. Salute for bringing Mr. Obama
You again.
Speedy is really good at this. Should be given his own big show
Watched four of these Obama interviews. This and the Colbert one come out on top.
“Mr. Barack Obama - how are you man?” Imagine saying that
Yeah I'm imagining it... Not doing much for me.
@@GatherYeRosebudsWhileYeMay Yet your little ass commented
Obama should be in prison for the crimes he committed against America. Inform yourself
@@jordan12118 Obama was one of the worst Presidents ever.
Speedy won't go far in life without showing the appropriate deference to his seniors.
I've watched quite a few recent interviews with Barack Obama and I must say, this is one of the best so far. Good questions, a little bit more outside the box and I like how Speedy isn't looking at his cards all the time, feels more like a real conversation.
I bought President Obama’s book “A Promised Land” the physical version of the book and I am super proud to support my amazing Black American USA President.
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸💙💙💙💙♥️♥️♥️♥️
I was only eight years old when President Obama became our President in 2009, I grew up watching the lovely Obama family succeed with us, the American people.
My family voted for President Obama in 2008 and in 2012.
Now when I became nineteen years old, I voted for President Biden and First Lady Vice President Harris in 2020.
God bless the United States of America, I was born and raised in California USA.
I love my incredible country the United States of America, WE are the GREATEST.
Happy ThanksGiving.
🦃🦃🦃🦃♥️♥️♥️♥️
Do better than this
Youre so wrong idiot
Even though I'm not American. I'm from the UK. I completely and totally agree with you. :D 👏
Why are you spreading so much hate? Why are you so angry?
@@eljamo93
This question would be directed at the hater who attempted to undermine my patriotic love for my amazing country the USA with negativity and rude insults.
I’m aware that my country is not perfect, but we are still the best that there is.
I was born and raised in the United States of America.
I am nineteen years old and I am going to college at an amazing university in California USA currently.
I am proud that I am an American citizen.
I am encouraging unity and positivity, never division and hatred.
The divisive conversations are frivolous.
We will continue to move forward as the American people with our incredible American flags flying strongly in the air, always.
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸💙💙💙💙♥️♥️♥️♥️
The future is very bright for us, the American people, truly.
👏🏽👏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Speedy isn’t playing around with these questions. Great interview. Get at ‘em, Speedy!
I love that he's so honest. He could talk around the questions but he didn't.
And he was 100% about the rap comment.
Respect to Obama for supporting young Black voices & talent - from the Twins to Speedy. That’s really beautiful that he’s paying attention to people involved in the culture in some capacity, whether influencers or media personalities.
It's so good for the culture!

He has a book to promote & money to make!
Wow! Excellent interview by Speedy Mormon. Some unconventional deep probing questions put to Obama by this young man. As an interviewer, he held his own.
loved this interview, you did a really good job of it. As for President Obama, I am not an American and I still miss him
Aussie here. I miss him so much as well. I have really enjoyed watching his book tour interviews. What a great mind. ❤🇦🇺👍

Brilliant guy and excellent interview. How I do miss Obama...his decency and his intelligence - a true President and a wonderful guy,too. Speedy did a wonderful job, too. Bravo!

I hope he could serve once again. This time as a Supreme Court Justice. Would also love to read his ponencia. :-)
The chemistry between the two is dynamic! This is by far the best interview I’ve seen since he released his book. The interviewer does his job WELL. Great job!
Great interview 💖💖💖💖this is why he became President. Intelligent, understanding. Humble. What a gracious Man 💖💖💖💖💖love and miss him .👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽Bravo
I'm gonna watch the whole interview but this is the first time I've seen a youtube video with chapters instead of time stamps. Top marks!
Those Air Force 1's so clean they ain't even textured on camera
The comment on "all" vs "many"...Obama speaks on how people will pass judgement based on a single statement, without taking into account that person's reputation. I felt that.
Barack answering these questions 10/10 🔥
He "ain't scared" and didn't deflect. I respect how thoughtful his answers are.
Such a wonderful "gentle" man to listen to. 💕
Ngl I thought this video was 360 I was trying to turn around 😂

Hey Speedy, 63 years old here ... lived through a bunch of presidents. Barack Obama is the best, by far, for so many reasons. He loves us, he loves our country, he works harder than anybody, and he's got a spine. That's a start.
I am a white man of 55 living in Australia. I have watched many interviews with Barack since his book cam out (which i am reading).This is one of the best interviews i have seen.Cudo's to you Speedy with the way you went about the interview.A very balanced questionaire.Very enjoyable.
Never heard of speedy before, but that was a great interview, with great questions, a range of topics, and speedy had clearly done his homework well. Impressive!!!
Excellent interview young man. Most impressed by your preparation, focus and directness. Well done.
He did a really great job
agreed
totally agree. he hit the perfect balance of respectful and relaxed. So well prepared, intelligent, engaged and eloquent -- this can't be created just from interview prep, it's character

@@bluesky4845 uhm, no, he won't
This host is obviously young (mentioned it was his first election), but I have to say he was quite impressive. Super prepared (clearly he'd already read the book and had his quotes ready), and had so many great questions that blended politics, personal, history, and he really kept himself from sounding biased as an interviewer. We're going to see this kid around for a long time. Great job, @Speedy!
That's what I like about Barack Obama, he seems like such a normal cool guy, very easy to talk to and you can relate to him, I never heard of Speedy before but color me impressed, this young man does his homework, and his interviewing technique is on point,
What an excellent interview, great questions, space and pause for your guest to release from the heart, never a cut off.. you are exquisite Speedy.
Bruh ...you made it. Obama was like ..” I know who you are “ .....Damn 👊🏾💯❤️🔥🔥
Right bruh imagine your about to interview Obama and he say that
Damn Speedy got Obama before Rogan. Legendary. Salute to you sir.
Still waiting on that
his name is “Speedy” for a reason
Joe will grow hair before he gets obama
Nah not legendary this man sucks
he would never go on rogan
Damn Speedy is leveling up with this one
Just two really cool guys having a conversation.
I just wanna give props to speedy for the work he’s been putting in over the past few years✊🏼 keep it up and you’re gonna go down in history
Speedy will never NOT be in a sweatsuit, my guyyy
Speedy Morman !! Great interview 👏👏👍👍
Even Obama noticed how good the format of the interview
An excellent interview! Loved the topics and allowing for long answers.
Obama: “That was an excellent interview, man.”
Speedy: “We were supposed to still be rolling on that. That’s the stuff I need!”
It was excellent! I just subscribed.

Speedy absolutely killed this interview! Good for him!
Barack Obama is a great man who deserves his flowers now while he's alive to smell them. Speedy Morman conducted an excellent interview. This is one of the best Barack Obama interviews I have seen or heard.
Awesome interview Speedy! Really appreciate your intelligence and sensitivity to the heart of the issues.
An excellent interview. Thank-you both.
I guarantee the 150+ people who disliked this video didn't watch this. They are probably the same fox viewers who moved to Newmaxx because Fox showed a tiny bit of integrity
Speedy is one of the best interviewers out here, he got a bright future
It was the most enjoyable interview with the past President of United States 🇺🇸 👌👏🏼
Great interview! Speedy, you're questions were relevant, reflective and thoughtful. 👍
Speedy on his way to the top! Proud of my guy!
The indication of different chapters of the video is really awesome...
So thorough, Speedy! Thank you, Mr. Obama, for using this space to share your sense of equality in a logical, pragmatic way!
Speedy is a great interviewer. Well done
Need more interviews like this!
I thought you never liked Obama Danny.
You commented on a khan academy video. You’re a good CZcamsr.

@Buddy JR Roe umm...ok. Lol?
@Buddy JR Roe Not the whole paragraphs.
Great questions..... I have been watching all Obama interviews in the past few weeks and you asked questions on things I want to hear about! Thank you! 🙂
Excellent interview, Speedy called Mr Obama out on his comments on rappers and got him on the defensive. Not many people have managed that! Big respect from the UK!
Too good an interview... Thanks
Such a classy man, this Barack Obama!
He could have gone for so many low hanging fruits but he chose the hard way!

Yooo Speedy really makin his rounds. Even Obama takin notice 💯
Great interview
I thank former-President Obama for giving Speedy the opportunity to shine as an interviewer! He remained steady, in control, focused, and fair the entire time. Speedy was tough when he asked Obama who is the greatest basketball player, MJ or LJ; clearly, he prefers LJ. Wishing you all the best with your journalism career, Speedy‼️🙏🏽👏🏽
Thank you Speedy Morman and team for sharing. The interview was excellent. And if you’re ever reading the comments about your interview with Speedy Morman, thank you President Barack Obama aka number 44 for saying every body matters. 🙏🏾❤️🙏🏾
THIS is my president STILL
You’re president was the most corrupt in history. He sabotaged America and sold us out
I hope you aren't a trump supporter. If so I can hit you with a insane amount of things showing how embarrassing and terrible of a president he was.

i’m early, this is great. thank you complex
Thanks for such a great interview. Loved the questions and answers .
I love when he talks about how normal his beginnings were. For the record, Obama actually had very humble beginnings. Not a lot of people know this. He wasn't even raised with parents. His grandparents raised him, and neither one of them held more than a high-school diploma, and they were actually lower middle class, if not upper third class. Obama went through a lot, yet made so much out of himself. Such an inspiring man and leader. I thank God he became president because he made the nation so much better.
Really? How?
Top Notch and in depth interview right here. Better than the “bigger media” interviews. Excellent job, Speedy.
Great interview!
Very well prepared interview. Great questions and interaction! Really enjoyed!
Loved the interview. Great job.
