Obama Calls Out Sellouts on Marc Maron's Podcast Mic Drop

In a firecracker episode of 'WTF With Marc Maron', Barack Obama did a verbal fireworks show by calling out law firms, universities, and businesses who shook hands with the Trump administration but then did the classic 'wait, what?' and changed course. Our former president with impeccable timing reminded us all on this podcast finale—historically sounding off on October 13, 2025, no less—that these institutions should've stood by their convictions instead of doing a political cha-cha. It’s like expecting a tightrope walker to show up without a net but watching them throw on a trampoline instead—a hilarious trust fall gone wrong narrated by the man who has been called witty AND presidential. Bold words aimed at deals and settlements, surely leaving CEO boardrooms everywhere clutching their spreadsheets and “how to be woke” training manuals.
