Following Biden’s poor debate performance against Donald Trump, we’re releasing the full and unedited 21-minute interview we conducted with President Joe Biden nine days before his interview with Special Counsel Robert K. Hur.

He did not send questions to the White House ahead of time, nor did he get approval for the topics to be discussed during the interview.

Recording began as soon as Biden was miked and sitting in the chair that Friday at 2:50 p.m. Earlier that day, Biden’s press staff had said the president would have only 10 minutes for the interview, instead of the previously agreed upon 20 minutes. We requested that the interview go the full 20 minutes. You can hear during the unedited interview a couple of moments when White House staff interrupted to signal that the interview should come to a close. Biden seemed eager to continue talking.

    I know it seems like I’m super pro Biden and I actually would be if he wasn’t super fucking old. BUT, all of the media (all. of. it) hasn’t said a peep about trump’s performance and has completely sidestepped his felony conviction and all of the other gaffes he does to let Biden’s bad performance take over the headlines. They also focus on “Biden should step down” and all that other shit. I don’t see another candidate taking his place, it’s the r’s that want that at this point because they know they’ll have a hard time winning against Biden. Biden has great people working for him and isn’t playing golf 90% of the time. We can survive him being at 80%, I’m not sure we can survive another trump.
