>> JOE BIDEN HAS SAT DOWN FOR
ONLY SEVEN ONE ON ONE INTERVIEWS
WITH JOURNALISTS THIS YEAR BUT
HE MADE TIME FOR DREW BARRYMORE.
>> Joey: THE PRESIDENT AND FIRST
LADY TALKED WITH THE CELEBRITY
IN THEIR LAST INTERVIEW OF THE
YEAR WHERE THEY WERE ASKED HARD
HITTING QUESTIONS LIKE THESE.
>> HAS HE EVER SURPRISED YOU
WITH SOMETHING THAT REALLY DID
SURPRISE YOU?
>> WELL, ONE THINGING THAT JOE
GIVES ME EVERY YEAR IS A POEM.
>> IS IT TRUE YOU PROPOSED FIVE
TIMES AND WHAT WAS IT THAT
FINALLY WON HER OVER?
>> I DON’T KNOW WHAT FINALLY --
I THINK I KNOW WHAT FINALLY WON
HER OVER.
>> DO YOU BELIEVE IN LOVE AT
FIRST SIGHT.
>> I DO.
>> HERE TO REACT FOX NEWS
CONTRIBUTOR JOE CONCHA.
DIVE RIGHT IN, WHAT DO YOU THINK
ABOUT THAT INTERVIEW.
>> CARLEY I THINK IF I PROPOSED
TO A GAL AFTER TIME NUMBER THREE
WHEN SHE SAYS NO I’M SAYING
THREE STRIKES I’M OUT I’M GOING
TO MOVE ON.
BUT IT IS REMARKABLY SAD, IN A
PROFOUND WAY THAT MR. BIDEN SAID
RECENTLY THERE WERE MORE
IMPORTANT THINGS TO DO THAN
VISIT THE SOUTHERN BORDER, SAID
IT WHEN HE WAS IN ARIZONA, AND
PAESHTR APPARENTLY ONE OF THE
MORE IMPORTANT THINGS WAS TO SIT
DOWN WITHDREW BARRYMORE TO
DISCUSS POETRY AND MULTIPLE
MARRIAGE PROPOSALS THAT OCCURRED
BEFORE SHE WAS BORN.
THIS IS A PRESIDENT GUYS THAT
HAS DONE EXACTLY ONE INTERVIEW
SINCE THE MIDTERMS AND IT WASN’T
WITH BRET BAIER SHANNON BREAM
PETER DOOCY JACKIE HEINRICH
SOMETHING REPRESENTING A
JOURNALIST BUT WITH THE GAL FROM
ET.
AND TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR
ALL THE THINGS PLAYINGING THIS
COUNTRY, IT’S ONLY GOING TO
CONTINUE IN 2023.
HE WON’T ANSWER FOR INFLATION
BEING FIVE TIMES HIGHER SINCE
TAKING OFFICE.
CRIME IN VIOLENT CITIES FENTANYL
KILLING YOUNGER PEOPLE IN THIS
COUNTRY.
EDUCATION THAT HAS US FAR BEHIND
OTHER ADVANCED COUNTRIES IN THE
WORLD.
THIS IS A PRESIDENT WHO DOESN’T
WANT TO ANSWER QUESTIONS FOR ALL
THESE THINGS BECAUSE HE DOESN’T
HAVE ANSWERS HE’LL CONTINUE
LEADING THE COUNTRY BY PLEADING
THE FIFTH.
>> Joey: JOE, IT DOESN’T
SURPRISE ME THAT HE PROPOSED
FIVE TIMES.
I MEAN HOW MANY TIMES DID HE RUN
FOR PRESIDENT AND GET TOLD KNOW
AND FINALLY WAITED AROUND AND
THE HUNDRED YEAR PLAYING GOT HIM
IN THE WHITE HOUSE.
BUT KAMALA HARRIS GETTING
WRITE-UPS ABOUT HOW GREAT SHE’S
DONE AND THE PRESIDENT SITTING
DOWN WITHDREW BARRY MORE INSTEAD
OF REAL JOURNALISTS.
HOW MANY DOES THE ADMINISTRATION
THINK WE’LL BELIEVE THIS STUFF.
>> GREAT POINT ABOUT RUNNING FOR
PRESIDENT, FIRST TIME IN 1988.
SO IT IS SPITTING IN THE FACE
SAYING IT IS RAINING BECAUSE
HERE WE HAVE KAMALA HARRIS FOR
EXAMPLE WHO’S NEVER HELD A PRESS
CONFERENCE WHILE SHE’S BEEN
VICE-PRESIDENT.
MIKE PENCE HELD MULTIPLE PRESS
CONFERENCES.
JOE BIDEN HAS HELD FIVE SOLO
BECOMES THIS YEAR, IN CONTEXT,
DONALD TRUMP HELD 35 PRESS
CONFERENCES IN HIS FINAL YEAR.
RIGHT?
SO, YEAH, AS FAR AS
ACCESSIBILITY THERE IS NONE WITH
THIS PRESIDENT WITH THIS
VICE-PRESIDENT AND WE’LL
CONTINUE TO SEE IT IN 2023 AND
EVEN WHEN THEY RUN FOR PRESIDENT
AGAIN IF THAT IS THE TICKET IN
2024 BECAUSE IT WORKED FOR THEM
THE FIRST TIME.
>> Griff: SO JOE YOU TALKED
ABOUT THOSE JOURNALISTS AND
PETER DOOCY IS GETTING US MORE
NEWS THAN ANYONE IN THE ENTIRE
ROOM.
THAT’S WHY WHEN HE ASKS
QUESTIONS AND CAN GET THE
PRESIDENT TO TALK ALL THE OTHER
JOURNALISTS FOLLOW HIS LEAD MANY
TIMES BECAUSE HE SIMPLY DOESN’T
WANT TO TALK TO HIM.
BUT STEP BACK FROM THE
COMMUNICATIONS STANDPOINT THE
WHITE HOUSE SPENDS TIME THINKING
ABOUT VARIOUS INTERVIEWS, LET’S
PUT HIM HERE THIS IS THE TAKE
AWAY WE WOULD GET.
HELP ME WALK THROUGH WHAT WAS
THE LOGIC?
THEY THOUGHT DREW BARRY MORE
THAT’S PERFECT WE WOULD GET
THIS.
OR WAS IT JUST TO SNUB THEIR
NOSE AT ALL THE JOURNALISTS THAT
SHOW UP IN THE BRIEFING ROOM
EVERY DAY.
>> I THINK THE THOUGHT PROCESS
WAS WHERE CAN WE GET A SOFTBALL
INTERVIEW AND SOMEBODY LIKE RON
KLAIN STEPPED UP AND SAID I
DON’T WANT SOFTBALL I WANT T
BALL WITH A BEACH BALL OFF THE
TEE.
WHAT’S THE EASIEST THING WE CAN
DO.
THE VIEW IS ON VACATION FOR
CHRISTMAS, MSNBC NOBODY WATCHES
SO LET’S GO TO DREW BARRY MORE
WHO HAS AN AFTERNOON SHOW AND
WE’LL MAKE THIS AS COMFORTABLE
FOR OUR 80 YEAR OLD PRESIDENT AS
POSSIBLE.
>> Carley: MAYBE THEY WERE
THINKING THE YOUTH VOTE OR THE
FEMALE VOTE.
I’M NOT SURE.
DREW BARRYMORE TO ME SEEMS SO
SWEET AND SHE’S OBVIOUSLY GOING
TO JUMP AT THE CHANCE OF GETTING
AN INTERVIEW WITH THE PRESIDENT.
>> OF COURSE.
>> Carley: BUT IF THE PRESIDENT
DOESN’T WANT TO BE CRITICIZED
FOR DOING THE DREW BAREMORE
INTERVIEW HE HAS TO DO THE
SERIOUS ONES AS WELL WHICH HE
CLEARLY HASN’T DONE.
>> Griff: JOE I THINK YOU COINED
THE BEST PHRASE, IT’S NOT A
SOFTBALL INTERVIEW IT IS HE A T
BALL WITH A BEACH BALL.
>> THAT’S HOW I TAUGHT MY SON TO
