Barack Obama - Protecting Democracy and the Commitment to Facts | The Daily Show 

I’m a lifelong Republican and right now I would vote Obama in again in a heartbeat. We need his style, his impeccable mannerisms and his coherency. We Miss You ❤

I’d forgot what coherency from a POTUS sounds like.

I'm not American, but it sure is nice to hear someone string a few intelligent, insightful, funny sentences together.

Wow! What an absolute pleasure to listen to and watch an intelligent, coherent conversation. Obama never disappoints me! I miss him and we need him. Thanks Trevor!

As a kid I grew up in a conservative town where everyone voted McCain and Romney. Even I voted Romney a month after I turned 18. I just accepted what people said about not liking Obama. But I remember watching him and Mrs. Obama on TV and their girls and wondering why exactly people don’t like them as people - regardless of his policies. I remember during science class in 8th grade he gave a speech that was televised to all school children across the country and I thought he had nice things to say, even though I knew I wasn’t *supposed* to like him. Even when I was 20 and living in DC I didn’t pay much attention to Obama or politics beyond visiting the White House. It wasn’t until I started my international relations degree (and also saw how bad trump was) in 2017 that I became politically involved and kind of mourned that I lived through 8 years of Obama without appreciating any of it. I’m glad he’s still very politically active though and I always enjoy watching his interviews either on shows like this or the Pod Save America podcast. He wasn’t perfect, and no president has been perfect, but he was what I think we needed at the time. The calm before the storm.

I like how the world feels sane when Obama comes through the door!

You can just tell when two people love each other. Trever and Barack love each other and it's always pleasant to watch.

I must say that The Obamas were the most classy, sincere, and solid, First Family I have seen in The White House in my 51 yrs! I miss them so much!

Wow , he is really articulate and well spoken. I had forgotten how articulate, funny, self deprecating, cultured and well spoken a President could be. I actually watched the whole 33 plus minutes without being bored or turning it off. Now that is a President

Mr. President has true stage presence. He can speak to people at all levels: Foreign dignitaries and heads of state, audience members and people on the streets, and talk show hosts and celebrities. He’s the same guy no matter what. Love this guy for his integrity, demeanor, and smoothness.

Trevor should absolutely do a podcast, spectacular interviewer!

When you get the right people together.. it doesn't get more engaging than this 👌👍🤝👊

He's "just" a reminder of how a real President should be like. Like his politics or don't like it at least he THINKS before he speaks!!

Can't speak for America, but the rest of us clearly miss and WILL MISS these two wonderful gentlemen! Now more than ever.

Political party aside, I hope everyone hears his message of finding common ground & treating each other like real people, instead of some kind of enemy.

That shrug of the shoulders when he said, “let’s see how he’ll look when he’s sixty,” shrug. So smooth, Mr President. So smooth.

Two brilliant men who broke barriers having a thoughtful conversation. We are lucky to witness this.

He's just such a Natural Leader. No drama. Confident. Calculated. Compassionate. Intelligent. And so incredibly smooth and chill. 😎

Obama and Trevor both temporarily cure my ADHD. When they speak i can always listen and focus no matter what I'm currently doing. Truly captivating and amazing humans.

Finest interview ❤️ lot’s of love and support from India 🇮🇳

I miss intelligent discussions of the reality of our situation and a potential future to strive for. Thank you, Mr. President

I think my favorite thing about this video is seeing the pride in Obama's eyes as he listens to Trevor speak. There is respect there.

Best interview ever, Mr. President - we miss you, Thank you Trevor

Two half Black men who have made the biggest imprint where Black people don't normally get to go. We love you both man! Thank you for the work y'all have done for us and being our voice. ❤️

Man hearing Obama talk for a prolonged period brings back a sense of security I had as a kid. I never needed to worry about what was going on in the Whitehouse. Also, it is so refreshing to hear two intelligent, funny, compassionate people talk for this long. Love this!

A few words come to mind listening to this conversation is... intelligent, respectfull, dignafied, principal, honorable and humane Just exactly what a president should be! 💯

i am never a politics guy but this made me stay for 33 minutes😁

I love how Trevor pushes the truth and President Obama feels pushed (watching the way he moves and how he places his arms) but still responds. Trevor is an excellent interviewer! Will be very missed.

I love that Obama has serious thoughts about current affairs and how we can improve for the best outcome for all Americans. He is a deep thinker and able to share his ideas in a peaceful, intelligent way without offending anyone in particular. We really need to keep the bar this high going forward.

Trevor asks the most beautifully articulated, well thought-out questions of any interviewer I’ve ever seen. Always able to disarm his guests with empathy and comedic relief. I love that he’s never afraid to challenge Obama’s responses in an era where dem-leaning journalists would softball or smile and nod. I’m going to miss Trevor on the daily show. Def following him on the road. More flowers to you, Trevolva 😂 💐

Even when they were disagreeing one some occasion,they still keep is highly classy and listen to each other's disagreement and learn to balance each point. Just two Beautiful people..

This interview was brilliant! 10 out of 10! Immensely recalibrating

Strategic! Trevor leaving the Daily in a few days but going out on a high with some amazing celeb interviews. You will be missed indeed!!

President Obama is such a delight of grace, intelligence, humor, and calm. Even though he and Trevor are discussing serious national/world issues, I come away from it all feeling more relaxed than how I started. The president's chill vibes are unsurpassable. 😎

Obama inspires me not because of his politics but because of his compassion and charisma.

I think he’s the best president the USA has ever had.

I will never hold as much esteem for any other president in my lifetime as I do for President Obama. I am 49 years old and not until Barack Obama did I even care about politics. He made me look at it in an entirely different way and for that I am eternally grateful. Thank you Mr. President. You are appreciated. ❤❤❤

Thank you Gen Z for showing up and voting for democracy!

The two of you have beautiful smiles. Thank you for your existence -- Both of you.

Trevor's interviewing skills are one of the things I will miss most about his departure Best of luck and thanks for helping so many get through some really hard times

President Obama was born in 1961 and he is 61. He is awesome and I’m so glad he took the time to clearly point out the contrast between what Democrats offered and work to help the American people and what Republicans wanted to take away from us. I really think that helped.

Why do I feel calmed when listening to Obama talk? He gives me so much hope for our country

The constant open conversation, thought provoking questions and laughter convinces me our nation and politics still has such a large gap for growth. These two are both favorites in my world, I'm savoring every second of this interview....❣️

We Indonesian love so much Obama, during his presidency he was considered not just for america but as the president of the entire world and of all races. Charisma, calm face, humor and a friendly smile are his trademark, very great person.

Intelligent substantive conversation between two grown men. What a breath of fresh air

From a pure participation in American democracy perspective, nothing healthier than the Obama Effect

Amazing people, and we the global citizens loves them so very much. Thanks for making my day TN & BO❤❤🌹🌹👏👏👏👏

I like listening to President Obama. His voice alone makes it seem like everything's going to be all right. Comforting.

Trevor, you will certainly be missed. you have a gift for the world because you bring the world to what you do

The sense of calm and sanity when president Obama speaks is unbelievable

I honestly don't care how much the price ticket would be, I would ABSOLUTELY purchase one to see the two of them doing whatever they want on a stage

2 of my most favorite, intelligent, funny, loving, respectfull human beings together...you made my day...👍🏻💞💯❤🍄🌈🕊🍀

I can't help but watch Trevor interview Obama and feel as proud as a mother could be. Two of my favorite humans. Amazing chemistry/ energy.

Miss him so much. He wasn’t perfect but we all know how bad things got after he was gone.

How long was Trevor waiting to pull that half and half joke? Funniest line of the interview. Respect!

The coolest man in the world being interviewed by the 2nd coolest man in the world! Love both of them ❤ real people!!!

Wow. Civility, Common Sense, Logic, Humanity....thank you Barack and Trevor!

It baffles me that arguably the most powerful orator of 21st century represented his country for 8 years in the best possible fashion and we still have people who hate him and his family for being who they are. His persona alone inspires people across the world. When he speaks the world listens. That's what Barack Obama did. I watched him all through his presidency and how he conducted post presidency. I can safely say that we won't see another politician like him in our life time.

I watch a video normally for 5 min ..but these two great and wise people made me stay here for 33 min 👀..they both together have a charishma seldom found ..i really respect them both ..love from India ❤️

Absolutely beautiful, I thoroughly enjoyed this. Two of my most favorite people!

Coolest, president, ever.

Best US President ever in my lifetime. Thank you for your service.. 🤩

I didn’t notice that I was smiling through the entire interview until it was over! Two of my favorite celebrities to listen to coming together was amazing!

He is speaking a lot of truth.

I will never, for the life of me, understand how someone cannot like Barack. He's so down to Earth and just exudes positivity. Every time I see him speak, it's like a breath of fresh air.

Young people need to understand that we're never going to vote one time & solve the issues. We have to vote, & vote again, & push them forward towards increasing change.

I've watched this interview for 3 times , the way he calculates every word that he speaks ..... Brilliance 💪

I just appreciate how Obama takes an analytical approach to the questions. He's not just blaming people or things

Now that’s how a president should be!!!

Wise, Funny, Charismatic, and keeps it 💯

I loved this conversation. It was informative and productive. Its so refreshing to hear intellectual conversations surrounding our difficult politics and issues. NIce interview Trevor.

What i love about Trevor is his willingnes to challenge his guests, no matter who they are. He asks questions and responds in ways that allows for a real diologue and conversation, on things they agree and disagree on.

"CHANGE will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the CHANGE that we seek." ~~Barack Obama

I know we're all starstruck by Obama's personality in contrast with today's politics but looking beyond that... as someone who has lived in and around some deeply conservative communities for years, the points that Obama makes in first two thirds of this interview are THE roadmap for progressives to bridge the political divide and cool down American politics. And it is progressives who have to do the bridging; leaders on the far right profit from polarization, and centrists don't have much power in our current system. Hopefully the right people are listening.

What I like about President Barack Obama is that he never claim all the glory for himself. and he would always acknowledge his fellow democrats when being praised.

Why is it that every time I watch this president, I always have a smile on my face and I am proud to be an American? Thank you Trevor!

I don’t know the next host of the daily show, but let me just say to the void that is the internet: thank you for your service, Mr. Noah. You made this show worth watching every night as I moved to America at 18 to go to school for journalism after growing up on a US military base watching your predecessor on the show while I was a kid. Comedy is a fickle thing to say the least, but bringing people together to make sense of the world and the BS that comes with that …I can’t thank you enough for your role in shaping it for the better.

This is the best interview I have ever heared, the is no conflict and no tension. Every moment is calm, well thought-out and the transparency of President Obama, i love it. To our Trevor Noah, all the best to you. You nailed it. Re motlotlo/proud ka wena.

Obama is truely missed. Not only by the US, but also the world.

I didn't even feel that the interview was 30 minutes. I honestly think I can listen to them for hours. The topics, the banter, man this is how interviews should be

He has such a calming nature about him. I love his sarcasm and humor. It makes me feel better

Trevor was the funniest guy in South Africa when he got a new job and left for America. Now Americans are getting a taste of how that feels 😂🇿🇦❤️

What an excellent interview. Trevor you have the questions I’d like to know. And I learned a lot from a true leader.

The thing I love most about President Obama is how positive and optimistic he always is. He preaches hope and presents solutions to every problem no matter how difficult ❤

That swag walk when he came on stage. 😎

I clicked this video and never thought I’d stay for 33 minutes….I could not turn it off. That speaks volumes to the character of these two men

These two men are examples to the world that Black People are capable Governing ourselves and Entertaining ourselves.

Barack Obama served as the 44th President for two terms. Therefore I watched this segment twice. However, I could only click the like button only once.

I believe president Obama's presence as he talks and walks into a room is like a positive enlightenment to all people. It's a Great feeling

Simply, Obama was the most loved & most respected American presidents of modern times. Universally loved man....

I’m 24 & I can say… Obama definitely influenced me to vote 💙 I didn’t believe in voting really & I really didn’t think Midterms mattered until hearing him talk about it 💙💙💙💙💙

I don't know who I'm intellectually more enamored by right now Barack or Trevor. Wow, we really need more of this intelligent conversation wrapped in humor. THANK YOU!!

the audience so quiet when he spoke, & im here tearing up realizing how i miss him

The half and half comment was a very genuine moment! When Pres got it, he let the swag really come out!

I loved the finale most “half and half” 😭#brilliant #hailarious

Listening to him gives me peace of mind. I don't feel upset, afraid or wanting to attack or bully anybody. I don't feel like going around blaming them for what I have not accomplish etc.

I see two really smart guys that make sense of a convoluted world. ❤️

They both are outstanding human beings... intelligent, genuine, hard working, respectful, well spoken, ambitious, honest, great sense of humor, etc...which is lacking in people of top leadership, no matter the industry, in our world, and specifically the USA, today. Thank you!

I love how Democracy has been into question in this interview. This sentiment is all around the world.

My heart is so full right now seeing my two most favorite people ever! ❤❤❤❤
