what i think they're referring to is this archive link of a wapo article by bob woodward in 2016 which started off with:
One of the most important phases of the transition to power for President-elect Donald Trump includes briefings on U.S. intelligence capabilities and secret operations as well as separate descriptions of the extraordinary powers he will have over the military, especially contingency plans to use nuclear weapons, according to officials.
In 2008, after then-President-elect Obama was given one sensitive intelligence briefing at a secure facility in Chicago, he joked, “It’s good that there are bars on the windows here because if there weren’t, I might be jumping out.”
Though Trump has been given some intelligence briefings on threats and capabilities, there are a series of separate briefs scheduled for the president-elect into what Obama has called “our deep secrets.”
it wasn't something that was ever caught on video as far as i can tell. their memories are getting things jumbled into a mandela effect where they recall watching him give this as part of a speech, but i think it was originally reported by woodward in the article i linked above. it's not in the speech linked in your screenshot. i remember that one, it was just a bunch of platitudes about how he definitely didn't want to be assassinated and is therefore 100% supportive of the cia and their efforts.
Obama had connections to the CIA before being president anyway, it was all a show. They didn't show him anything he didn't already know is my top guess.
He had connections before he was even born lol. Look up his mother, Ann Dunham (who met his father at a Russian language class in Washington in 1960 during the height of the Cold War) and her working for USAID in 1960s Indonesia.
His stepfather Lolo, whose military career in Suharto’s army during the Indonesian massacre of 1965-66 where over a million people were accused of being communists and murdered had been completely scrubbed on Wikipedia. He was summoned back in 1966 (although the actual date is under dispute and probably completely scrubbed at this point) to serve under Suharto, when the killing season took place.
There have been rumors for years that Lolo was one of the many CIA/Pentagon trained Indonesian military officers who would later carry out the Jakarta Method in Indonesia (although Vincent Bevins, author of Jakarta Method, disputes this and simply said there is no hard evidence to prove this).
Oh? I'm not aware, what do you mean (sincere)?

This is probably it. Thanks.
yup. walz just made a speech like that about israel.
come on we all know who is really in charge. 
I don't got a link?
It’s an image. I’m asking if you remember the speech described in the image.
So, yes, you've got a harder job. And so do I. And that's okay, because that's why we can take such extraordinary pride in being Americans. And over the long term, that is why I believe we will defeat our enemies, because we're on the better side of history. So don't be discouraged by what's happened in the last few weeks. Don't be discouraged that we have to acknowledge potentially we've made some mistakes. That's how we learn. But the fact that we are willing to acknowledge them and then move forward, that is precisely why I am proud to be President of the United States, and that's why you should be proud to be members of the CIA. (Applause.)
"Pobody's nerfect" in response to war crimes and torture is an incredible statement.
Speech in case people want it
