So, sir, on pardons, have you rolled out a pardon for yourself or any other additional members of the family?

President Biden (8:01)

For myself, yes, sir. Well, what I pardon myself for, that's what I'm asking. No, I have no contemplation of pardoning myself for anything. I didn't do anything wrong.

President Biden (8:12)

Mr. President, would you comment on Meta's.

President Biden (10:05)

On a more serious note, President Biden talked about the disinformation being spread on social media and how billionaire oligarchs are using their wealth to undercut the truth and facts. Here President Biden's talking about how Mark Zuckerberg has eliminated fact checking at Facebook, is allowing language and rhetoric to attack transgender people, marginalized communities, and now you could just say the most hateful and disgusting things. By the way, it wasn't exactly like Facebook was a bastion of civil discourse before, but also, Mark Zuckerberg is now moving his whole content moderation team to Texas because he says California is too woke for them. I mean, just like I'm going to play this clip, but can we think about this for a second? You've got all of these whiny billionaires who who by the way, during the Biden administration, their wealth has grown dramatically. Go back and look at Zuckerberg and Bezos and Musk and a lot of these billionaires, their wealth, it's grown dramatically 3x5x7x times billions and billions of dollars more. Why a lot of it? Because the stock market was up 55 to 60% under the Biden administration. So with all of the wealth that they've gained in the Biden administration, while Biden was focused on lifting up other people, right? Lifting up the 99% others. And Biden's just saying, look, guys, billionaires, you could be billionaires. Biden says, I'm a capitalist. I'm okay with you making money, but can you just pay your fair share of taxes? You're thriving under my economy, but it's unfair that you're paying less in actual dollars, not even percentages dollars dollars than a teacher, a firefighter, a construction worker. That's unfair. And the billionaires who made all this extra wealth are like, no. Even though we're thriving even more, we don't want to give any money back to you. We want to hoard it. We want generational wealth forever. And it's not just enough that we're rich. We want to make sure that the workers suffer. We want to stop their unions. We want to dismantle the National Labor Relations Board, the nlrb. We want to make sure that they don't get a raise in the minimum wage to a living wage. We don't want to pay overtime. We don't want to do any of that. You know, how sick is that? It's like the billionaires get off in the suffering of we the people and they can make all this money in the world, but that's not enough for them. How many private jets, yachts, homes, mansions do you actually need while Americans suffer and they can't buy? It's so strange to me. Anyway, I digress. I say I digress a lot. Here's what President Biden says about Facebook's policies. Play this clip.

President Biden (13:13)

Telling the truth matters. I mean, it's. I know I'm on national television, but you all are local reporters and national reporters. This is not a legit real question, but what do you think? You think it doesn't matter that they let be printed or millions of people read it, things that are simply not true? I mean, I don't know what that's all about. It's just completely contrary to everything America is about. We want to tell the truth. We haven't always done it as a nation. We want to tell the truth. And the idea that, you know, a billionaire can buy something and say, by the way, from this point on, we're not going to fact check anything. And you know, when you have millions of people reading, going online, reading this stuff, it is, anyway, I think it's, I think it's really shameful.

President Biden (14:14)

And here's what President Biden asks when he, when he's asked if he regrets his decision to run for reelection again. What a weird phrasing of the question here. Play this clip.

Reporter (14:24)

Do you regret your decision to run for reelection? Do you think that that made it easier for your predecessor to now become your successor?

President Biden (14:32)

I don't think so. I think I would have beaten Trump, could have beaten Trump, and I think that Kamala could have beaten Trump and would have beaten Trump. It wasn't about, I thought it was important to unify the party. And when the party was worried about whether or not I was going to be able to move, I thought, even though I thought I could win again, I thought it was better to unify the party. And it was the greatest honor in my life to be president, United States. But I didn't want to be one who caused a party that wasn't unified to lose an election. And that's why I stepped aside. But I was confident she could win.

President Biden (15:15)

Okay, so President Biden making, I think, a compelling argument for his closing statement that I inherited disaster. I left the economy strong, our Internet, our international allies are strong. I'm responding to, I'm responding to emergencies and I'm not going anywhere. It's powerful stuff. Let me know what you think. Hit subscribe let's get to 4 million subscribers. Love this video.
