The Obamas have not quietly retired to their mansions in Washington, DC, or Martha’s Vineyard. With a power vacuum in the Democrat party, they are rebuilding an influence machine through their deep ties with Netflix, the world’s dominant streaming platform with over 300 million subscribers. Their power will only grow if the Trump administration allows Netflix to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery, owner of CNN, HBO Max, and more.
The signs of the Obamas’ re-emergence are obvious, from Michelle’s sudden weight loss to polished media appearances. The former President has also increased his criticism of President Trump. This is not a coincidence, it is a deliberate strategy to manage their media exposure in advance of Netflix’s bid to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery. If the deal succeeds, the Obamas’ production company, Higher Ground, would become part of a global entertainment juggernaut, giving them a level of cultural reach unmatched by any political family in modern history, effectively creating an “Obama News Network.”
Netflix is already aligned with Democrat powerbrokers. Co-CEO Ted Sarandos, one of Barack Obama’s most loyal Hollywood patrons, hosted multimillion-dollar fundraisers for Obama during his presidency and has poured money into the DNC, Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden, and Adam Schiff. Netflix Chairman Reed Hastings is openly trying to “Stop Trump,” bankrolling Democrat redistricting schemes and dumping millions into Hakeem Jeffries’ political apparatus. Chief Content Officer Bela Bajaria, who determines what the world sees on Netflix, co-hosted high-dollar Biden-Harris fundraisers and is an unwavering Democrat donor.
The Obamas reportedly inked a $50 million deal with Netflix in 2018, soon after leaving office, starting Higher Ground Productions to “to tell powerful stories that entertain, inform, and inspire, while elevating new and diverse voices in the entertainment industry.” While Donald Trump rose from the most highly rated show on network television to the presidency, the Obamas took the opposite path: governing, then leveraging their political clout for a huge payday to make content no one sees or remembers in an industry they know nothing about.
Since 2018, Higher Ground has pushed out a slate of explicitly left-wing productions, including:
- Documentaries about grievance politics (Becoming, American Factory, Crip Camp)
- Youth-targeted programming celebrating leftist protest culture (We the People)
- And feature films framed through progressive narratives about race, inequality, and structural decline (Leave the World Behind)
Every Michelle Obama public appearance reinforces the same message: complaint, grievance, disappointment, struggle. From talk shows to interviews, she retells the tired story of America failing to meet expectations. It is a rhetorical loop designed to depress confidence in the nation while elevating the need for “transformation,” the Obamas’ favorite euphemism for tearing down American society based on liberty and erecting their own left-wing utopia that answers to corrupt institutions like the United Nations and the International Criminal Court.
Netflix’s attempted takeover of Warner Bros. Discovery would effectively consolidate the entire left-wing media pipeline: the largest streaming service, a major Hollywood studio, HBO’s prestige brand, and CNN’s cable megaphone.
Republican Congressman Darrell Issa has already raised concerns that such a merger would create a streaming monopoly in America that is directly aligned with Obama Inc.
It is also important to note that I recently exposed Comcast, whose leadership is filled with longtime Trump-haters, is also expected to make a bid to acquire Warner Bros., meaning the battle is between two aggressively anti-Trump media power centers.

As a media mogul, President Trump understands that cultural presence precedes political power. Or as Andrew Breitbart used to say, “culture is upstream of politics.” That is why President Trump has made cultural influence a priority: restoring patriotic oversight to the Kennedy Center, elevating programming that celebrates America, and challenging the entertainment-industry echo chamber that treated conservatives as cultural outsiders in their own country.
President Trump understands that if you don’t fight for culture, you lose the country.
The Obamas recognize this too, and they are now attempting to reclaim the cultural heights they once occupied. Not to promote “the arts” but to exercise control and effectively brainwash Americans into adopting their own far-left worldview.
If Netflix, the Obamas, and Democrat mega-donors acquire Warner Bros., the United States could effectively find itself under a consolidated left-wing streaming monopoly. Friday-night entertainment. Saturday-night films. Children’s programming. Documentaries. News narratives. All shaped by the Obama empire.
The Trump administration has the responsibility to stop this before it becomes irreversible. The Department of Justice’s Antitrust Division must take aggressive action. Congress must exercise its oversight obligations, and America First voters must demand that this acquisition be defeated before it’s too late.
America does not need an Obama-controlled cultural cartel. This is a fight for our future that won’t be won at the ballot box, but on screens in every home across the country.
