On 6/8/2022, Joe Biden arrived in Los Angeles, California to tape an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live. Biden hasn’t had an interview with a member of the press in 118 days but he had time to sit down with a late night TV host. Kimmel expressed to the president how he thinks Democrats are frustrated because they won the House, Senate and White House and have made very little progress. Biden said there’s a lot of “major things” he’s done, he just hasn’t “been able to communicate it in a way that is, uh, um…” Biden also claimed “we’ve actually made some real moves” when it comes to climate change. He cited efforts to push solar and wind energy, as well as electric vehicles.
79-year-old Joe Biden began rambling about biracial couples in tv advertisements. “Turn on the TV, look at the ads. When’s the last time you saw biracial couples on TV? When’s the last time you saw the way, I mean, people are selling products, they do ads and sell products. And they sell products when people, they appeal to people,” said Biden.
Biden said, “Oil companies, instead of everybody, says, ‘Well, Biden won’t let them drill.’ They have 9,000 drilling sites that they already own that are there. They’re not doing it,” Biden told Kimmel. “You know why? Because they make more money not drilling and buying back their own stock.”
At one point Joe Biden “joked” about putting his political opponents in jail. The president accused Republicans of placing democracy in jeopardy. “I often get asked, ‘the Republican’s don’t play it square, why do you play it square?’” Biden said. “Well, guess what! If we do the same thing they do, our democracy would literally be in jeopardy. That’s not a joke!” Kimmel equated Washington, D.C. politics and Republicans to that of playing the game “Monopoly” with people who do not follow the rules. “How do you ever make any progress if they’re not following the rules?” Kimmel asked. “Well, you have to send them to jail,” Biden joked, referencing the board game.
The president took aim at Republicans during his interview with Kimmel, saying, “look, this is not your father’s Republican Party. This is a MAGA party.” Biden said that inflation was the “bane of our existence” and praised the U.S. economy. “We have the fastest growing economy in the world. We have 8.6 million new jobs since I got into office. Unemployment rate’s down to 3.6%. We reduced the deficit last year by $320 billion. This year we’re gonna reduce it by $1.7 trillion,” the president claimed.
Joe Biden jokes about taking serious questions, probably because he never takes them. Joe Biden says we have the fastest growing economy while the economy shrank last quarter. Biden “you know, I’ve pushed electric vehicles for the last, I don’t know, god knows how long”. As his popularity falls, Biden brags about democrat senators being in lockstep behind him.
