[ cheers and applause ♪ yes! >> thank you, jimmy. how are you, man >> jimmy: president biden, i appreciate you being here. it's your first time on our show as president biden and i'm honored. >> i'm honored to be on. thanks for inviting me >> jimmy: we have lots to talk about. let's start with some good news here you passed your infrastructure bill this is a big deal [ cheers and applause

passed! what are some changes that americans can expect from passing the bill >> well, you know, we used to be the number one, have the best infrastructure in the world. highways, bridges, the whole works. and now we rank number 13 in the world. and that makes, it has a lot to do with quality of life. it has a lot to do with whether or not we're going to be competitive. for example, one thing it does we're going to replace all the lead pipes in america that are causing people to get sick, get cancer, and kids to be able to drink clean water. we're going to make sure that we have everywhere in the country, rural and urban and suburban we have internet connections because the world is changing, and we're so far behind the curve. but the big thing it's going to do, is going to create millions of jobs, and it's going to change the quality of life for an awful lot of people around the country. >> jimmy: yeah, that's what i'm talking about. [ cheers and applause that's great and i know you've been working hard on the build back better plan >> yes

>> jimmy: some people may not fully understand what's actually in this plan. is there a simple way to break it down? >> yeah. what's in it is the ability for working class and middle class people to have the cost of living cut significantly for example, there's money in there to make sure that there is the ability to care for childcare. right now, if you're in new york, and you're a man or a woman having childcare for your children, you're paying $21 to $25,000 a year to be able to do that. well, most people can't do that so people leave the work force this will mean you don't have to pay more than 7% of your income saving tens of thousands of dollars over time. we also provided an ability in the build back better initiative, we're going to make sure you're able to send your three and four and five-year-olds to school which will increase exponentially their chance of succeeding all of the studies show, jimmy, that 47% better chance of graduating from high school, no matter what the background you come from, no matter what home

you come from, and to be able to go on to get to school. and what better can happen for america than have a better educated population. >> jimmy: absolutely >> so there's a whole range of things that are in there that are going to really reduce, essentially, the cost of living for people in a reasonable, rational way and by the way, every single bit of that bill is paid for no one making less than $400,000 a year will pay an additional cent in taxes, as well as it will not increase the deficit one penny. >> jimmy: do you think this will pass the senate before the year >> well, i hope it will. i don't have a single republican vote right now to pass it. and, uh -- >> jimmy: wow! >> so, it's going to be tough, but i think we can get it done if we don't get it, i' going to keep at it until we get it done >> jimmy: i was at the kennedy center and i saw republicans and democrats in the crowd everyone was laughing at jokes, and listening to great music

and everyone seemed cordial and nice and i go, "this seems like this should be much easier to get along with everybody." [ laughter ] >> well, jimmy, look, the truth is, that before covid hit, the trump arm of the republican party, which seems to be the republican party now, did not even show up at the kennedy center they wouldn't go to the awards so all the people you have, that we saw at that event, which was a very fullsome event, were people who in fact are republicans, but there the kind -- like for example, a lot of republicans and democrats used to get really on well together for example, one of the reasons i was a little bit late coming on, is because, not coming on, but to do the taping here, is because i did bob dole's eulogy today. he asked me in his deathbed whether i would do his eulogy. we were friends. we disagreed, but we were

friends. we used to have an awful lot of that relationship, and it still exists except that the qanon and the extreme elements of republican party, and what donald trump keeps sort of, seems to me, feeding, you know, with the big lie it makes it awful hard and i think most republicans -- there's an awful lot of republicans in congress that i think would agree. >> jimmy: yeah, i thought it was great to see you there we gave you a standing ovation because i go, "here he is. he's bringing class back." he's a classy guy, and you're bringing class back to the office >> very kind of you. >> jimmy: and i thought it was amazing that you did that. the covid problem. i don't know what else to do, and how to tell people to get the vaccine. at this point, i think people are going to do what they will, i guess. i don't know what to say is it the youth that we have to hope the kids get us out of this because, i mean, i got vaxxed,

i got boosted, i got whatever you got. if you want no wear red pants, i'll wear red pants. i want this thing to go away >> well, i think we ought to have more people listen to your song - [ applause ] >> jimmy: yeah that's what i'm talking about. >> i think that will get them moving >> jimmy: i gotta to tell you -- so i had this song come out. it was a mass christmas this week with arianna grande and megan thee stallion. and -- [ cheers and applause thank you. you were nice enough to tweet about it tis the season to get boosted. this is amazing that the president did this i am so excited that you did this [ cheers and applause it changed everything. all these radio stations want the song now, they're playing the song. you said that another comment, you said the message is very important. get your booster >> well, it is it is really important, jimmy. look, we're so far ahead of the rest of the world in terms of the science and technology to produce the vaccines

and now we found out that the, if you have your two shots for moderna or from pfizer or the one shot from j&j, what happens is, this booster shot not only brings the level back up of immunity, i mean, to deal with fighting off the virus, any of the viruses. but it brings it up exponentially. so if you want to be sure you're going to be okay, and the other good news, jimmy, is that we now have five, six, and seven-year-olds who are able to be vaccinated as well as teenagers. and so we're moving. we're moving now, i don't, the politicalization of this, making it become a political statement if you get the shot and somehow, i don't know what the -- anyway. [ laughter ] here's the deal, jimmy the bottom line is, that the way to avoid this virus is to

get two shots and then get the booster shot it's available we have the medicines available. it will make a gigantic difference even if you don't care so much about yourself, think about your kids, your brother, your sister, your co-worker and this stuff about biden is mandating these things happening. and it's unamerican. look at i this way it's patriotic to get this done not a joke it's patriotic to get it done. >> jimmy: yeah do you, um, how much do you pay attention to approval ratings? >> well, not anymore [ laughter ] i'm joking i was paying attention when it was in the mid 60s when it's in the mid 40s, i don't pay attention. >> jimmy: i appreciate the honesty, yeah. i mean, because you came in -- you came in hot. and then you got to medium, but now you're at a low. you just have to keep your head down, right? and just keep doing the right thing. >> well, look, here's the deal i think that it's -- we've been in less than a year.

a lot has happened and look, people are afraid. people are worried and people are getting so much inaccurate information to them i don't mean about me but about the situation. and so, you know, they're being told that, you know, armageddon is on the way. the truth is, the economy is growing more than it has at any time in close to 60 years. the unemployment rate is down to 4.2%. and it's going to go lower, in my view. we do have inflation on things that in fact matter to people's lives. you know, when you show up at a gas station and it is $3.50 at your pump, although now because i took 50 million barrels, i called the oil petroleum reserve. gasoline is down below $3 in many places. it's going to come down. it's going to move but in the meantime, people are worried. and they're worried about whether or not they have a a brother, a sister, uncle, aunt who has gotten covid.

and they don't know what to do about it i mean, so there is a lot of anxiety. and my job is to be straightforward, shoot from the shoulder let people know exactly what the truth is and lay out how i'm going to try to make life better for them >> jimmy: yeah does anyone really understand how hard your job is look, who, i mean -- besides my uncle, apparently, who knows everything he knows everything. but i mean - >> well, send him over [ laughter ] >> jimmy: yeah, no, you don't want to talk to this guy [ laughter ] but i mean, just being in d.c. the other day, and driving around, you see all these giant buildings. and you just -- you feel kind of nervous and you feel like -- i feel important when i'm there, but you're the leader of our country. i mean, the pressure and then you have to do 20 events during the day that we don't even see. >> well, look, i was vice president for eight years. i knew what the job was, and i don't -- no one should feel sorry for me

it is the greatest honor anybody can have in their whole life, in my view, is to be president of the united states but what the difference is -- the difference is that when you're in congress, and i had important jobs in the congress, as a senator, i was chairman of important committees but being president is like being chairman of every single committee. nothing gets to my desk unless it hasn't been able to be solved before it got to my desk so by definition, it is more difficult. harry truman had a great line. he said about being president. he said, "the buck stops here. i used to be, i kid with barrack, president obama, who was a good friend and we served eight years as friends together i used to say to him -- instead of him thanking me, i got to be the last guy in the room to give him advice. that was the deal we had and he'd thank me, and i get to walk out and say look, "i give the advice you've to make the decision. >> jimmy: yeah

>> and, you know, what happens is going to be on you. but that's part of the deal. but look, i have enormous confidence -- you're going to realize what a naive guy i am. but i really have faith at the end of the day the american people are going to get it they understand. they understand. given half a shot, they have never, ever, ever, ever let the country down we've just to give them a shot >> jimmy: that's right more with president joe biden when we come back, everybody [ cheers and applause this is great. i agree. thank you. thank you. thank you. ♪ spin the wheel for me ♪ ♪ (hoo) ♪ ♪ blackjack, baccarat ♪ ♪ dealer, where you at? deal for me ♪ ♪ dealer, where you at? where you at? ♪ ♪ i'm 'bout to buy las vegas after this roll ♪ ♪ i'm 'bout to buy las vegas after this roll ♪ ♪ come on, 7-7-7, let's go ♪ ♪♪♪ ♪ i told ya, i told ya, i told ya ♪ ♪ 7-7-7, let's go ♪

[ cheers and applause ♪ >> jimmy: welcome back president joe biden is joining us president biden, what did it feel like the first time you walked into the white house as president? what was the first thing you noticed? >> what i did notice is that -- there is a sense that you realize it's not your house. it's the people's house. and that sounds corny, it's the people's house but you realize that that's the case and one of the things that i

find, jimmy, and i think you really would associate with this jill and i, we come from middle class backgrounds. we both are college graduates. we worked like hell. we had fathers that didn't go -- anyway, the end result was that we're not used to people waiting on us and so in the white house, you know, there's somebody to make your breakfast or someone to pack your clothes or someone to carry your bags. we now have a deal, and they're great, the guys who run the kitchen on the second floor, is we don't have them come in to do breakfast for us, because there's no need for them to have to do breakfast for us. we can make our own eggs or you know, pour a bowl of - >> jimmy: you make your own eggs >> cereal. well, i don't. jill does. [ laughter and applause i'll tell you a true story when i was -- when jill was going to graduate school, which was her whole life, it seemed, when i was a senator, i'd get home real quickly and she'd -- we would trade-off, and i -- my young daughter would be there.

and i'd -- and she'd take off for school night school anyway, to make a long story short, my daughter was being interviewed when she was about, i don't know, 9, 10 years old. they said, "can your daddy cook for you? she said, "my daddy can't do much he can boil water and make pasghetti, he can't do much else." [ laughter ] and guess what, she's right. she's right. >> jimmy: if we talk again, i check in with you this time next year, what do you hope we're going to be talking about? >> i hope we're be going to be talking about how we've gotten covid more under control i hope we're going to be talking about how we have actually reduced the burden on middle class folks financially, that salaries continue to go up i hope we're going to talk about unemployment still going down i hope we're going to be talking about inflation being under control. and -- but the other thing, jimmy.

i really hope that we're going to be able to demonstrate that we made worldwide progress on the environment, because i think it's a critical thing. and pray god, pray god, we will have passed the john lewis act and the voting rights act. because what's going on now in about 30 states is literally unamerican it's about trying to prevent people from voting rather than allowing them to vote. so there's a full plate, but i think we can do it i'm optimistic about the future and i'm optimistic about this country. we are, as i told everybody, including everyone from a leader of china to russia and everyone else that i don't know anybody who wouldn't trade places a world leader wouldn't trade places with my job versus theirs because we have more available to us. we have more capacity. we have more science and technology and decency i think than any country in the world. and so i think the sky is the limit is what we can do in the second quarter of the 21st century

>> jimmy: before you go -- [ cheers and applause i hope that as well. i just want to tell you what an honor it is to have you on the show tonight i'm a very proud american. thank you so much for being here, and if you ever need me for anything, don't hesitate i am there for you i am there for you >> well, jimmy, maybe you ought to come down and have dinner with me.
