Obama Calls Trump Policies a National Test

On Marc Maron’s final podcast, Barack Obama cast the Trump administration’s agenda as a national "test," urging universities, companies, law firms and voters — Republicans included — to defend core principles. Speaking from his Washington office, he warned of real-world consequences, citing Latino sons being stopped in L.A., and criticized institutions yielding to Trump as USC weighs funding tied to White House alignment. Obama faulted Democrats’ "holier-than-thou" tone, saying they must hold firm values without scolding, and said Americans may need to be shaken from complacency. His 2015 garage interview became the show’s most-downloaded episode at the time.
