Interviewee / Voter (7:39)

But honestly, I miss my Uncle Joe because, I mean, yeah, there was a lot of craziness going on, but it was a whole lot calmer than this. I didn't, it didn't affect my day to day life. I was a nobody and I was balling then. Now I couldn't even tell you, I couldn't even show you $5 in my pocket.

Political Commentator (8:02)

I think we all miss the compassion of Uncle Joe. Yvette Hoffman, remember she and her lawmaker husband John Hoffman survived the political assassination attempt on them in Minnesota. Tragically, that was the assassination attempt where the former speaker of the Minnesota House was shot and killed along with her husband. But Yvette Hoffman, who managed to survive, remember there were two shootings that took place, posted this about President Biden. She and her lawmaker husband John Hoffman were shot along with Melissa and Mark Hortman Melissa and Mark Hortman, they were murdered. And fortunately, John Hoffman and Yvette Hoffman managed to survive. And she just posted this. Although not the current sitting president at the time, he came, he came to the icu. He came to see the Hortman's Lion State in the Minnesota State Capitol Rotunda, and he came to their funeral. He has checked in with us multiple times since June 14th just to make sure we're okay. And here's Biden with them right there. You see Biden and these incredible photos with them right there. Now, what has surfaced over the past 24 hours, and I'm not sure if you've been seeing it, but these clips have went viral. So I had the opportunity to interview former President Biden in the Roosevelt Room of the White House, the exact same location where Norah o' Donnell interviewed Donald Trump. I did my interview at the end of December in 2024. And I asked former President Biden, when history is all told, how do you want to be remembered? What do you want your legacy to be? Here's what he told me. This clip has been going viral today. Let's play it. When history is all told, how do you want to be remembered? What do you want your legacy to be?

Joe Biden (9:57)

I kept my word that when I said I was going to do something, I did. And that my focus has always been about how to give ordinary people a shot. You've probably heard me say it before. My dad used to say, joey, a job is about a lot more than a paycheck. It's about your dignity. It's about respect. It's about being able to look at your kid in the eye and say, how is it going to be okay? And mean it. It's about being able to be yourself and focus on people who need some help. And the vast majority of American people, all they want is a chance, just a chance, and they'll do fine.

Political Commentator (10:38)

You see hope?

Joe Biden (10:40)

I do. I'm hopeful.

Political Commentator (10:42)

And then I asked him back In December of 2024, what do you say to Americans who are understandably very nervous right now in this moment? Here's what he had to say. Here, play this clip. What do you say to Americans who are understandably very nervous right now, who didn't vote for the other guy, who are fearful of the threats, the rhetoric, the idea of retribution? What do you say to them who are looking at you, who admired your work? And what do you say to them right now who are watching?

Joe Biden (11:15)

Trustee involved. Got to keep fighting. Got to make clear we're not Going away. We're not going away. I'm not going away. I'm going to be deeply involved in the environment, deeply involved in foreign policy, deeply involved in all the things I've been involved before.

Political Commentator (11:31)

You know, I also reflect upon the, you know, all of these right wing clothing sellers, 86, 46 outfits, that's one of Maga's best selling items, was 8,646, was 8,646 merch that they would go and sell. So should all of those people be arrested right now? And look, people are feeling the pain at the pump. People can't afford groceries, people can't afford gas, people can't afford rent. People are suffering, psychologically tortured under the Trump regime. And like that voter from Florida who I showed you before because I miss Uncle Joe. There wasn't drama like this, There wasn't the chaos. I had a normal life. I was doing fine. You know. Yeah, that's what we were trying to do. That's what we were trying to tell you all. I mean, I know Biden wasn't flashy. I get that he was old, but he wasn't in our faces, he wasn't in our lives. He just let us be. And he ran an effective government. And you could be like, well, you know, he's not as sharp as he was when he was younger. He surrounded himself with the sharpest team that there was. Okay. I mean just think about the, you know, gas prices are soaring, straight of Hormuz is still closed. Donald Trump is saying, well, I'm not going to do anything. We're just going to keep the naval blockade. We're not going to commit more troops, which is a good thing. And we're not going to negotiate though, with Iran. We're just going to keep the blockade. We'll see what happens. Like a miracle, maybe it will go away, you know, and that's not leadership. Do you remember what Donald Trump did? People are talking about this now. Remember what Trump did with Afghanistan? Trump promised that he was going to do the withdrawal from Afghanistan. Right. He made a. Trump made a deal with the Taliban. Trump released the 5,000 Taliban soldiers who ended up taking Afghan Afghanistan over. And Trump threw under the bus the existing Afghan government that was allied with the United States. And Trump. Then Trump invited the Taliban to camp David on 9 11, by the way. And then Donald Trump said that he was going to evacuate the US Military bases and remove the troops. Trump never did that. Because you have to understand, Donald Trump's a coward. Donald Trump doesn't make real decisions. He was never a deal maker. He's a destroyer. Biden had to actually be the person who, who removed the troops. And Biden took responsibility and accountability when things went wrong. Although Biden was able to move a lot of the troops out safely, but he took responsibility. When there was an act. He, he took it on himself like a leader is supposed to do with tragic, horrific terrorist attack. Right. And then former President Biden didn't get us into any wars. He, he, he put us on a course. Correct. And had to deal with what Donald Trump the arsonist did. And now all throughout the day, you have these Trump MAGA sycophants trying to blame Biden for this, that it's not working. Like MAGA Republican Greg Stube, here's what he had to say yesterday when. Look, I just want to be very clear. Trump was in office in 2020. You're complaining about the Trump thing here. Play this clip.

Interviewee / Voter (14:28)

You look at this.

Political Commentator (14:29)

The Census Bureau admits during the Biden administration that they shortchanged Florida and Texas. You know, they made a mistake during

Interviewee / Voter (14:36)

COVID under the Biden administration.

Political Commentator (14:38)

So we should have gotten another seat.

Interviewee / Voter (14:39)

And it's also correct that 1100 people

Interviewee / Voter (14:42)

state of Florida, fleeing states like New York and California and leftist cities because they hate the policies and they love the policies of Florida and the freedom that we have there. So that is also a fact. So you're going to see these changes.

Political Commentator (14:56)

Then you have Brooke Rollins, Brooke Rollins, the Agriculture secretary, bragging about kicking people off of food stamps and then blaming former President Biden. Here. Play this clip.

Brooke Rollins (15:07)

Secretary, you've got some new news to break with us this morning. You know, Federal data revealing 4 million few Americans are receiving SNAP benefits in the first year of this President's second term. These numbers are coming from your department. Enrollment falling 4.2 million people. And this is after the passage, of course, the big beautiful bill last July. What can you tell us? Well, it is a really big piece of news and obviously there's a lot going on in the world. But back here and in the homeland, what are we, what are we doing to make sure that the president's promise to return the power to the people to drain the swamp is really happening. Under Joe Biden, the SNAP program, the food stamp program, grew by more than 40%. Of course, I believe they were buying votes for the election, putting as many people on as they could. Within the first hour of me being sworn in last February, we sent a letter to every governor in the country saying, partner with us. Let's make sure that this program is really working for those who need it the most. And as of just a couple of days ago, we now have moved 4, 4.3 million Americans off of the food stamp program. A lot of that is fraud. A lot of it is people taking the program that shouldn't have been. And then a lot of it is just a better economy. We've had a wage growth that has outpaced inflation for the first time since early 2021.

Political Commentator (16:26)

And then our friends at a more perfect union, they do great work. By the way, they published this showing what Republican voters, big Trump farmers, what they're saying right now. Here, play this clip.

Interviewee / Voter (16:39)

My family's farmed for 100 years. You don't want to be the one that can't keep it going. You know, I am a Republican. I voted for this administration. But my patience is running thin.

Political Commentator (16:49)

We're here in the heart of the Mississippi Delta to talk with farmers about how the war with Iran is impacting them.

Interviewee / Voter (16:55)

Oh, it's, it's been awful.

Political Commentator (16:57)

The closure of the Strait of Hormuz is causing prices to skyrocket. Things like diesel fuel and fertilizer, we're

Interviewee / Voter (17:03)

buying a little bit at a time sometimes we know that we've only got two weeks of fuel. So what has happened to us is not just the impact of one year. We have lost customers forever. They will never come back because we're deemed an unreliable supplier. I'm paying 60% more for diesel fuel than I would have been paying 45 days ago. You got to have diesel for everything. You got diesel to this, to plant, to harvest. So diesel stay going up like this, man. It affects us bad. You have no choice, you know, you've got to go ahead and buy it no matter what the price is. There's going to be a lot of people that go out of business at the end of the year either because they have to, because they're tired of losing money.

Political Commentator (17:41)

Farmers have already been struggling with rising costs and even tariffs making things even harder.

Interviewee / Voter (17:46)

It's going to be the nail in the coffin for a number of farmers. It's just a straw that broke the camel's back. A lot of the money that comes through the economy is just shuffled from the government back to, you know, these big corporations and just kind of farmers are middleman these days, really are.

Political Commentator (18:03)

It just seems like the farmers margins

Interviewee / Voter (18:05)

were already slim and they just keep getting slimmer and slimmer. We can't control diesel. We can't control you know wars, we can't control anything. All we can control is once we put that seed in the ground, that's all we are called to do, right? And the rest of it is up to the good Lord. I'm to supposed supported Mr. Trump this entire way. Supporter of his But I do not agree with this and I'm not happy about this at all. I did not vote for this administration. We're just hoping that the administration can right some of the wrongs that it's created for farmers with terrorists and mainly what this war has inflicted on us. A lot of people that did vote for this administration say it'll come around. But my question sometimes is, will you be in business when it does?

Political Commentator (18:46)

If President Trump were standing here in this field right now, what would you say?

Interviewee / Voter (18:50)

I'd ask him to stick a sock in his mouth and not say anything for a while. Get these fuel prices down. Get them down. There's an old African proverb that says when elephants fight, it's the ants that get crushed. The ants are getting crushed.

War.
