Biden Revisits His Past in Interview With Howard Stern

Source: New York Times (gifted article)

At the end of Friday’s sit-down, Mr. Stern praised Mr. Biden, listing off the president’s policy wins and praising his ability to overcome tragedy.

“I know you’d be a good father to the country, and I want to thank you for providing a calming, influential and organized administration,” Mr. Stern told Mr. Biden.

Good move, Joe. I bet A.G. Sulzberger is pissed.

by taking this interview....

Notably, he reportedly stated that he would agree to debate Diaper Don,
but he didn't commit to any particular date...

but said he would be quite happy to debate stinky-boy at some point

Oh, they're mad alright. You can almost see the spittle flecks on their monitor as they were typing this up.

Stern was respectful and gracious throughout.

President Biden became emotional while talking about Bo.
He also talked about his upbringing and the multiple tragic losses he experienced in his life. His family and the lessons learned from his parents. I learned A LOT about Joe Biden I didn't know before. Thank you to both Howard and Joe for doing that. Makes me want to fight all the harder to see him re-elected.

I am incredibly proud that Joe Biden is our President. What a thoughtful, caring, intelligent man. EXACTLY what this country needs.

(If I could figure out how to record the interview, I would have posted it......It is well worth a listen)

I too hooe it gets posted. I disliked 80s and 90s Howard Stern but his efforts in 2020 and now gives me an idea he has matured.
Biden our first truly middle class president. And he's on the way to the top of the whole lists of presidents.

Which is probably why they had this pre-planned and Stern showed his respect by wearing a suit and tie.

I recall Joe made a joke about as well!!

7. I noticed they still managed to get in a nasty dig at Biden, though.

Maybe Sulzberger wrote that paragraph himself.

11. Yeah, the interview was an hour long

and the article was quite short. Yet they managed to fit in:

"At another point, Mr. Biden appeared to once again stretch the truth about being arrested at a Delaware desegregation protest as a teenager. There is no evidence that he was ever arrested at a civil-rights protest."

Were they looking for something to seem more "fair" and "unbiased"?
