The Keith Edwards Show - Trump STUNNED By Obama’s Final Ultimatum

Episode Date: June 20, 2026

Keith Edwards breaks down the grand opening of the Obama Presidential Center, reacting to the MAGA establishment’s panicked, nonsensical attacks on the project. Keith pulls back the curtain on why Trump loyalists are so terrified of the Center’s success, exposing how the library’s focus on community service and democratic strengthening is the exact antithesis of the fear-mongering and institutional rot that defined the last four years of the current administration.Help us flip the House at: https://keithscheatsheet.comJOIN ME LIVE ON JUNE 28TH: https://youtu.be/5wm_ITBx5xU Listen to the show on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1chmgsT4aUJPmFlyGXIDGNBecome a Member: https://www.youtube.com/@keithedwards/joinSubscribe to my Substack: http://keithedwards.substack.comHelp Save Democracy, Buy a Hat: https://keithsdebateclub.com/products/democracy-hatCall me and ask a question or leave a comment: ‪[phone]‬Follow me on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thekeithedwardsshow/Follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/keithedwards/Follow me on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@keithedwardsFollow me on X: http://twitter.com/keithedwardsFollow me on Threads: https://www.threads.net/@keithedwardsFollow me on BlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/keithedwards.bsky.social

Hey y'all, it's Kelly Clarkson with Wayfair. Ever order furniture online and wonder what if? Like, what if it doesn't hold up? That sofa was four days old. You should have ordered from Wayfair. With Wayfair, there's no what if. Just style you love and quality you can trust. Visit Wayfair.com.

Wayfair, every style, every home. All right, so, you know, we did say tradition and we did say, and I did say, hey, don't, don't hold me to it every time because I was, God damn it, I've been traveling so much. I was in Detroit for a wedding, stayed there a little bit to see family, because that's where I'm from. If you don't know, now you know. And then I went to Chicago for the opening ceremony of President Obama's Presidential Center. I don't know why that's so hard for me to ever remember, presidential center. And I just got back to New York. And so I am tired. And so anyways,

last Friday, we did not have a good news Friday because I was experiencing good life Friday. I was going to see family. And so I didn't have time to put out the content that I felt would be good enough for you to seat, but we're doing it today because you know what? Good stuff. Good stuff still happens. Good stuff is still possible. So we have Good News Friday. Coming up, we got some clips from Obama. I want to tell you about my experience at Obama's Presidential Center opening ceremony. I also got some clips from Mamdani. Look at this right here. This is from the Puerto Rican parade. As one commentator note here, this is the kind of love you can't buy by engraving your name on a building, absolutely. Donald Trump will never get this. He'll never have, that's why he's

forcing his things, forcing his name onto things. Very rapy, but that's why he's doing it because he's never going to be given it. He has to take it. And Mom Donnie, it turns out all you got to do is, I don't know, try to work hard for the American people and you get rewarded by people thinking you're doing a good job. If you do a good job, people notice and then they'll reward you. Oh, feels good. Now, Colbert was also at the opening ceremony for Obama, and he also, it turns out, is getting a shit ton of money from CBS. And what's amazing is what he's deciding to do with that money. Here's Aaron Parnas explaining. Colbert left CBS with one last big F.U.

So apparently during his final show, he used an unlicensed version of a song from the peanuts. I don't know if it was intention or not, but because it was unlicensed, His show would have had to pay the owner of the Peanuts music a ton of money. And, well, he's no longer at CBS. So CBS was forced to pay the owner of the Peanuts license a ton of money. And the owner of the license then took all that money, said that they support Stephen Colbert's show, turned it around and donated it to World Central Kitchen,

which is a nonprofit organization run by Jose Andres, that has provided so many funds and so many meals to war zones across, the world from Ukraine to Gaza to elsewhere. And so one last kind of big FU to CBS by Colbert, whether intentional or not, has always spread the word. I love that. What I also love to is that I got to meet Stephen Colbert very briefly. Where is that? Where is that? And now, I should have done this. Why don't you know, that's a good idea. A lot of people showed up to a Mama's opening ceremony for his presidential center in a tan suit. So funny. Stephen Colbert, I think he literally recreated the tan suit. As you can see here, I decided to go with something

a little bit brighter. Very controversial. A lot of you did not like this outfit. And to you, I say, I want to see what you're wearing. Let's see what you wear. Okay? Not easy to dress for this stuff. For the record. Everyone's got opinions. Not a lot of people like to take action. quite like my tie and I like the bright blue suit. Okay. And as you can see here, I was having a blast. Harry Sisson actually took this photo. And yes, I meant, all right, so I want to tell you, I don't know, I don't know if they did this intentionally or not, but first off, we had good seats. It's not like we were like stuck in, like, there were seats in the back where like you couldn't even see the stage and they had TVs up for people who were kind of still near the stage, but you couldn't see it.

so there are TVs. No, no, no. We were literally like there. We could see the stage. We were surrounded by what I'm assuming were very important people. And there was a role of influencers. Me, Harry Sisson, Adam McClure was there. I believe I saw Brian Tyler Cohen and under the desk news was there as well. And what's so funny is that you had to get, I think the thing, I think the program started 11. They had you coming in around 8ish. And so I got on they're like, my God, they're at 9.30, because they're like, the latest you get here is 10. I was like, okay, I'm going to do at 930. I got to do some work. So I got there at 930. And so there's a little bit of time to like hang out.

And so what there's like, you know, we're all in the same spot. VIPs, influencers, other members of who maybe we've worked on the Obama's campaigns. And so they're all, we've, we kind of clocked that all of them were going the same route to go to like the really important section. and so it was like every person who you ever could think of was like walking by Kelly not Kelly who's Michelle Michelle from Destiny's Child walked by God who else was there I mean George Lucas George Lucas when I saw him now no one clocked George Lucas because I am a nerd and I Star Wars raised me it raised me and so when I saw him I was like

Guys, guys, guys, it's George Lucas. And then everyone was like, what? You don't even know who he is. So I was like, I'm excuse me, Mr. Lucas, I'm sorry, I'm a YouTuber. I talk about politics. Can I please get a picture? He was like, I mean, obviously he let me, but as you can see, he was not thrilled. He was not thrilled.

And then everyone else started to clock that he was there and he started to get bombarded. And I believe that is right behind him. Anthony Blinken, just to give you a sense of like the density of important people. I was in a coffee section before getting onto the grounds where I was like, random person, random person, random person, beat Buttigieg, random person, random person, random person, oh my God, Jen Saki, it was pretty nuts. And who else we got here? Okay, and then there's Gavin Newsom.

What was cool about this is Gavin Newsom was like, Keith. And I was like, oh my God, Gavin Newsom, hi. Like, I was like, okay, right, you know who I am. And then we got a picture that is a beautiful wife. Oh my God. She's gorgeous. Gorgeous. Okay.

Oprah as of, I mean, Oprah. So we saw, it's like, there's all this shuffling in the back. And then everyone's like, oh, my God, it's Kamala. It's Kamala. It's like, guys, I think Kamala's going to, like, get a special, like, entrance. But anyway, it turns out it's Oprah. Oprah had to go through a sea of normal people. And so when she was coming up, I know everyone, you know,

not everyone thrilled with Oprah, okay? I'm going to say, not thrilled with, like, the Dr. Ross and Dr. Phil of it all. But George Lucas raised me. this woman raised me. She raised me. That show, 4 o'clock,

Monday through Friday, made this gay boy feel connected to something bigger than himself, okay? So this is very cool. Again, like, these are quick interactions,

quick interactions. It's like, Oprah, can I please get pictures? It's like very quickly, the picture happens. And then Stephen Colbert, who cannot,

does not handle the sun, very well, was again, very, very polite and allowed me to invade his personal space with a photo. It's just, you know, you know what I like about it, but it's cool about things like this. And I hope you can get something from this too is like when you're around people who have done impossible things, it reminds you that impossible things are not impossible. They're totally possible. just being next to someone like Governor Newsom or George Lucas reminds me that that's just a guy.

That's a guy who had an idea and made it happen. And so it's nice to be around. That's really what Obama's whole speech was about. I'm going to pull that up. But that's what the whole speech was about was about, hey, you can do the thing. Just because it's bad now, whether that be nationally or perhaps. in your own life doesn't mean that you can't create incredible things in your life and in this country. That's literally the story of this nation.

Bad thing, bad thing, bad thing, whoa. Surprising good thing happened. Bad thing, bad thing. Oh my God. Gay people can get married. It's like, that's kind of like how this nation is. And so what I loved about being there was that it was like it was just this amazing, amazing that there aren't really limits in this world.

Quite often we're the ones who limit ourselves. Here's Obama. I get it. I am not immune to anger or doubt. But I do know this. When we lose faith in each other, when we stop believing that voting matters, that citizenship matters,

that our collective voices matter, that how we treat each other no longer matters then we give away our power to decide our own futures we open the door to the most ruthless or the most careless or the most fearful among us who see some groups and some people as more equal than others

and see government is nothing more than a way to divvy up the spoils period and I just want to end with this Not that. I want to do this. Wait, not that. I want to do this. This is my moment. First off, I think Michelle Obama's speech is better. I was going to say it. I think it was better. I love this speech. Secondly, when she said this, it was like a bot. Like, you can kind of hear it through the mic, but everyone was hooting and hollering when she pointed out that Obama has a Nobel Peace Prize. And then I'm going to tell you one thing I love about this too.

You were doing the people's work, rescuing our economy, expanding health care, ending a war, ordering the bin Laden rate, saving an auto industry, winning a peace prize. You can hear Hillary. Oh, my God. And also, like, I laughed very hard at that. But what I love about that, too, is that we learned through Obama's speech that Michelle, didn't share his speech with him. And so what you see in a very quick moment is you can see her, like, basically like being like,

yeah, I said that to him. Like you can see her make eye contact with him being like, wait, wait, wait, wait, it's right here. It's right here. The luck, she's like, yeah, I said it. Anyways, very, it's a very, it's a, it's a good news Friday. Friday, good news. I look, this is my favorite video of the week,
