Biden Reaps Benefits as Trump Faces Catastrophic Midterm Loss

Former President Biden is getting his revenge on Donald Trump and the despicable Trump regime following the results of the midterm elections where Trump and his mega brand were completely repudiated, just as former President Biden predicted. Former President Biden predicted that as well. In an interview with me, I conducted the last interview with former President Biden in the White House. You may remember that I'll show you that in a moment as well where he predicted this was going to happen. It's also former President Biden getting revenge in the sense that former Biden staffers went on to win big during the midterm elections. For example, the new Governor-Elective Georgia, Governor-Elect Keisha Lands Bottoms, worked in the Biden administration. Dan Coe who worked in the Biden administration is now going to be the Massachusetts Congress member from the sixth congressional district. There are other examples of that I will talk about. Also, you know who's getting their karma? The Grams. Remember when Lindsey Graham said that former President Biden's just a great guy and anybody who would be mean to him or treating him with disrespect must be a horrible human being because you don't get more of a gentleman or a better person than Joe Biden. Well, Lindsey Graham ended up having, you know, his complete change of personality became Ultramaga, passed away being a Donald Trump bootlicker, and then the rest is history with respect to Darlene Graham who became this Ultramaga individual who was like, "Guess my ass!" and she ended up losing to someone with a very big heart and credible person. Dr. Annie Andrews is now the senator in South Carolina, so karma struck there as well. Interesting how that all works out, right? So let's talk about this. Then I want to show you a clip of the interview that I did with former President Biden where he predicted a lot of these things. I want you to remember former President Biden's final speech from the Oval Office where he warned about oligarchy. He warned about what was going to happen. He gave the roadmap. Then I also want to remind you before former President Biden was basically forced out of the presidential race after the debate. He was still packing major crowds, and he was talking about these issues that became and that remained the critical issues in states, like North Carolina, and all these other states throughout the country where we saw major democratic victories. So let's go through this together, shall we? So here's Politico's article, Biden's Revenge. His alumni are winning the midterms. Talks about how Keisha Lance Bottoms, the one-time Atlanta mayor, turned Biden's senior advisor and the director of Office of Public Engagement and the Biden administration is now the Governor-elect of Georgia. It goes on to talk about how Dan Coe who worked in the Biden administration. He is now the Congress member from the Massachusetts Sixth Congressional District. He was Biden's Deputy Cabinet Secretary and Deputy Director of White House Office of Intergovernmental Affairs. We had him on the Midas Touch Network a lot. Biden's cabinet also had a strong performance. The governor's race, Javier Basera in California. California's new governor was Biden's Secretary of Health and Human Services. A lot of examples like Deb Holland, Biden's Interior Secretary, the New Mexico governor, elect right now, and Biden did warn in that farewell address about precisely the issues that animated voters in this election about the oligarchy, about the threats to our democracy, and all of that came to be true. Let me show you that. I don't want to hide the ball here because these were the main issues in the election. This is former President Biden from the Oval Office. His final address right over here before power was transferred over to Donald Trump, and then these two horrific years were Trump destroyed our country and our alliances. Former President Biden was in the Oval Office and talked about the oligarchy taking shape. Here, play this clip. Today, oligarchy is taking shape in America, extreme wealth, power and influence of a tech industrial complex. They can pose real dangers. The hands of a very few ultra-wealthy people are literally threatens our entire democracy to serve their own interests. A truth is smothered by lies toll for power and for profit. Now, before that late December, I had the opportunity to do the last interview with former President Biden, and I asked him, "When history is all told, how do you want to be remembered?" And here's what he said. Let's play this clip. When history is all told, how do you want to be remembered? What do you want your legacy to be? 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'd probably heard me say it before. My dad used to say, "Joey, your job's about a lot more in the paycheck. It's about your dignity. It's about respect. So, being able to look at your kidney, I'm just going to be okay and mean it. It's about being able to be yourself and focus on people and need some help. And the vast majority of American people, all they want is a chance, just a chance, and they'll do fine. You see hope. I do. I'm hopeful." And when I asked him, "What do you say to Americans who are understandably very nervous right now with this Trump regime coming into power?" This was December 2024. Here is what he said. When you say to Americans who are understandably very nervous right now, who did invoke 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? What do you say to them right now, who are watching? "We're going to stay involved. We've got to keep fighting. We've got to make clear. We're not going away. I'm not going away. I'm going to be deeply involved in the environment. We're deeply involved in foreign policy, deeply involved in all the things I've been involved in before." Now, notably, Dan Koe, Congress member elect Dan Koe, he did not shy away from the Biden endorsement. That was a major part of his campaign. Here, for example, is when Dan Koe won his primary. He got the call from former president Biden on primary night. Biden was a major endorser of Dan Koe. Dan Koe didn't hide from it. He leaned into it. And then right before the election last week, Dan Koe reposted this video. Mr. President, Madam First Lady, thank you so much for all of your support. Say hi, Mr. President. Hi, Madam First Lady. How are you? It wouldn't have been possible without both of you. You all had my back. You changed my life by giving me a job of a lifetime. And you got my back the minute I decided to run. Well, thank you, Mr. President. And then thank you. Thank you. And then when Keisha Lance-Bottom governor elect Keisha Lance-Bottom to us now, former mayor of Atlanta, when she launched her governor's race, what she do, she didn't shy away from the Biden endorsement. The Biden endorsement was a major part of her announcement. That played very well in Georgia. Like in every other state, people are now remembering, wait a minute, things were actually much better under former President Biden. I mean, go figure here, play this clip. Now Keisha Lance-Bottom, I've known her for a long time. And she's something special. As mayor of Atlanta, Keisha faced every challenge of leader of good faith. And then some, a global pandemic, a major cyber attack on the city system, economic uncertainty that tested every community across Georgia, because she handed the law with steady, thoughtful leadership. That's the definition of battle testing. Keisha's tenure as mayor of Atlanta left $180 million in the bank without reasoned property tax. Gave historic pay raises to police and firefighters, created a child savings account for every kindergarten and Atlanta's public school system. That's the record to be proud of. And then she came to the White House and served as a senior advisor. I'll tell you, those same qualities that made her a great mayor, made her in valuable toward administration. Smart, focused, gets things done. Georgia, she's ready. She's been ready. Keisha Lance-Bottom for governor now. I'm proud to be in her corner, just like she wasn't mine. Let's get this thing done. And now another major story coming out of the recent historic midterm elections that is not getting nearly enough attention. Climate and energy costs may have played a much bigger role in this democratic wave than many people realize. I was just listening to a discussion with leaders from some of the country's largest environmental organizations, and they shared some pre-remarkable findings, so let me share them with you. First, they say that voters were furious about skyrocketing electricity bills and gas prices. Remember, Donald Trump promised to cut energy costs in half. Instead, his administration has rolled back clean energy investments, blocked renewable energy projects, and pushed to keep aging coal plants operating. per pre-election polling, gas prices, and utility bills were two of the top three issues for battleground voters. And here's something that really stood out to me. The League of Conservation Voters said that invested more than $125 million this election cycle. Much of it focused on voters concerned about energy affordability. They were in programs in 35 congressional districts, 31 of which Trump won in 2024, and just look at what happened in Michigan. Where Democrats Sean McCann defeated eight-term Republican incumbent Bill Huizenga after campaigning on affordable clean energy and opposition to keeping an expensive coal plant running. Or in Georgia, where Democrats won control of the public service commission, the body that helps determine what families pay for electricity. And another major issue, AI data centers. Voters are increasingly concerned about how much electricity these massive facilities consume, and whether ordinary families are being stuck with the costs. Now these environmental leaders are saying that Tuesday's results send a clear message. Americans want lower energy bills, more affordable clean energy, and accountability for powerful energy companies. And with a new democratic majority coming to Congress, there could be major fights ahead over the direction of America's energy policy. So I'm curious to hear what you think. We're rising electricity bills, AI data centers, a big motivator for you, this election. Do you think politicians are paying enough attention to energy affordability and climate change? And should this be something the new Congress focuses on? Let me know in the comments, I want to hear what you're experiencing, where you live. Ben, back to you. And then as I note, the karma striking Darlene Graham, remember what her brother Lindsey Graham said on Joe about Joe Biden in 2015, this is what he said right here. If you can't admire Joe Biden as a person, then it's probably you got a problem. You need to do some self-evaluation because what's not to like? Here's what I can tell you, that life can change just like that. Don't take it for granted. Don't take relationships for granted. I called him after Bo died. Any basics said, well, Bo was my soul. I've told for a long time, he came to my ceremony and said some of the most incredibly heartfelt things that anybody could ever say to me. And he's the nicest person, I think I've ever met politics. Is that right? He is as good a man as God ever created. And we don't agree on much, but I think he's been dealt a really gut blow. I think he focuses on what he's got to do, not what he lost. His heart's been ripped out, but he's going to make sure that the other members of his family as well take care of and he started talking about his grandkids. Or worried about them than anything. We just talked about the future. He started talking about the future, the future of his family. Now, of course, Donald Trump and the regime has been very obsessed with Biden. There's not a single speech that they give where they don't insult Biden, say horrible things, blame everything on Biden. But let's face it, Biden had the country heading in the right direction after Donald Trump's catastrophic handling of COVID. It wasn't easy to get there. Biden took a lot of hard steps. But after four years, things were going in the right direction. inflation was finally falling. It was heading towards 2%. Gas prices were falling. They were all heading to $2 a gallon. Things were getting better for the country. According to the economic conservative papers, whether it was the economist or the Wall Street Journal or Bloomberg, they were saying the economy right now was the Goldilocks economy was the envy of the world. And Trump trashed that with his tariffs against the world, his catastrophic wars. But this is what Trump would do. He would say, "Oh, Kim Jong-un would call me." And this is what he would say about Joe Biden here. Play this clip. Think of it. It's not just NATO. You know, we all didn't help us. South Korea didn't help us. Or Australia didn't help us. Japan. We've got 50,000 soldiers in Japan to protect them from North Korea. We have 45,000 soldiers in South Korea. To protect us from Kim Jong-un, who I get along with very well, as you know. Do you notice? He said, "Very nice things about me." He used to call Joe Biden a mentally retarded person. Okay? So, don't tell me about your stuff. Joe Biden, he said, "He's a mentally retarded person." He was so nasty to Joe Biden. He was terrible. But to me, he likes Trump. And you notice how nice things are with North Korea. It's very nice. But we're during this election. You would have JD advance. Yeah. The reason that things are so bad right now is Joe Biden, Joe Biden. Voters like, "No, we don't remember Biden like that." Like, you stop talking about Biden here. Play this clip. America, that's actually the biggest reason why gas prices are so high is because when Joe Biden was president, we had about 20% of American refining capacity that went offline. We're slowly bringing that online. But it does take a little bit of time. And because we shut down so much for refining capacity, we were more susceptible to the shock that we've seen in the Middle Eastern energy prices. So, there's a lot that we are doing. It's just, we also are working against an Iranian regime that's shooting at commercial shipping. And I think that's good. I think if I may, Kishan's talking about this increase in gas prices. Just since you guys took office, it's almost been two years. At a certain point, it becomes your economy, not Joe Biden's economy. Also, back in March, right here in Michigan, you said it was just a temporary blip in gas prices. How long is temporary? Well, look, I don't think that when this conflict is over, we are going to see gas prices come down. But even to this day, you have Caroline Levitt still has Biden in her mouth. She was on Fox last night. Biden, Biden, Biden, Biden. Here's what she said. What about for congressional Republicans? Obviously, they're going to face an uphill battle. But in order to kind of put this party back together, there are priorities and values that I think most Americans kind of have in mind and are looking to them to lean on. What advice would you give them? Well, I think the number one issue for voters was affordability, prices, and inflation. And the president was tackling an inflation crisis from the previous administration, the Biden administration, Democrat control. Don't forget, we had record high 9 percent inflation. President Trump came in. It's down at 3 percent. There's a lot more work to do, obviously. But I think Republicans need to stay focused on the economy, on the price of living, because we know it is our policies at the end of the day. That will make the country more affordable. And we'll see how the Democrats govern it. I mean, look, they made very big promises to their voters, Medicare for all, free health care, free college tuition, in some cases. It's going to be difficult for them to actually get those things done. But Republicans are going to have to grapple with the Democrat majority now for the next two years. Well, let's. But on the topic of Biden, let me leave us with this conclusion right over here. This was basically the final speech that former president Biden gained before he was forced out. This one was June 28, 2024. He was in North Carolina. This was the big speech following the bad debate that he had. But at this moment, you remember he was, you know, trying to rebound. And he had this huge crowd. And he acknowledged it was a bad debate. Let me show you what happened over here. Play this clip. I don't walk as easy as I used to. I don't speak as smoothly as I used to. I don't the bad debate as well as I used to. But I know what I do know. I know how to tell the truth. I know. I know. I know right from Rome. And I know how to do this job. I know how to get things done. I know like the millions of Americans know when you get knocked down, you get back up. I know what it took to take our economy in the depths of pandemic, to where it is today, the strongest economy in the world. I know it'll take to bring this economy through everybody. I know it'll take to rally the world to stand up against Putin and defend freedom, not yielding. And I know it'll take to keep the world safe and free for the years ahead. Folks, I give my words a bite and I would not be running again if I didn't believe with all my heart and soul, I can do this job because quite frankly, the stakes are too high. Now we can't rewrite history and say what would have happened, but it's notable to think about the elections that just happened in Brazil where in the first round, President Lula in his 80s, older guy lost the first round to Bolsonaro, to Flavio Bolsonaro. I almost think about that. That was in many ways like the debate, like a bad debate, a bad situation. But then in the final 30 days, the final 30 days, Lula was able to figure this out because he was an experienced guy and though he was old, he had another debate which was a really good debate where he wanted and Flavio looked horrible in the debate. But then Bolsonaro also started to, you know, it was uncovered that he was using all these AI bots, but then Lula started organizing people on WhatsApp chats and then he had this moment in the last 15 days, Lula got all of this momentum and people thought Bolsonaro was going to win, but then Bolsonaro lost. And I'm like, you can't rewrite history, we can't go, what was going to happen or what's not. And I'm not suggesting anything. I'm just saying, you know, it's interesting as we think about the way history was, the way it's going, House former president Biden going to be remembered in history. These are all, these are all questions that given that Donald Trump has destroyed this country. There's, we're in an existential moment right now, but it's just something that I think about and I think about how in many ways voters in this election were actually saying, you know what? We see how bad Trump screwed things up from Biden and this blaming Biden didn't work. Let me know what you think. Hit subscribe. Let's get to 7 million. Thanks for watching.
