After joking in his monologue that “as a precaution” they had gathered and removed anyone called “Brandon” from the public, Kimmel shared a comprehensive montage showing Donald Trump asking “tough questions from real tough journalists” to Fox and His “thoughts and prayers” to get through this “difficult time”. When Biden finally came to the office with Kimmel, the host reiterated Fox News’ concerns that he might not ask his guest “serious questions.” “They ask really serious questions,” a sarcastic Biden replied before telling Kimmel that he was happy to have a real conversation with someone “very smart” like him. Kimmel began by discussing a topic of interest to him, the prevention of armed violence, asking questions, “Why have we done nothing about it?” The president blamed the “NRA intimidation” and the “MAGA party” that took control of the GOP before praising Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell for saying what he said despite their differences. “Like when he said we can not confirm a Supreme Court judge with one year left and then said the opposite?” Kimmel asked in response. Biden had no answer for that, but while he said we needed another arms embargo, he would not “imitate Trump” by issuing executive orders that could violate the Constitution. “They also ask me, ‘Look, Republicans do not play square, why do you play square?’” He added. “Well, guess what, if we do the same thing they do, our democracy would be literally in danger, and that’s not funny.” “They also ask me, ‘Look, Republicans do not play square, why do you play square?’ “Well, guess what, if we do the same thing they do, our democracy would literally be in danger, and that’s not funny.” When Kimmel suggested that the Democrats “play Monopoly with someone who will not go Go and follow any of the rules,” Biden said then we should “send them to jail.” From there, they moved to other areas that failed to move significantly in a progressive direction, despite Democrats controlling the presidency and both houses of Congress – at least until the interim. When Kimmel called Senators Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema “at best,” Biden warned against blaming Democrats – the vast majority of whom are united – for problems that 100 percent of Republicans are not interested in resolving. As Biden went on to explain all the popular moves that a divided Congress would never pass, Kimmel became even more frustrated. “Maybe it’s just that Americans are not as knowledgeable as they should be,” the host lamented. “Or maybe there is a Death Star that draws false information into our brains.” Biden rightly guessed he was talking about Fox News once again. “Enough is enough!” Kimmel continued. “And I think you should start shouting at people!” And when Biden said he had never been “so optimistic” in his life, he replied: “Why are you so optimistic? Does not make sense!” The president responded with an absurdly hopeful response about the power of “young people” in America today and something absurd about “bisexual couples” in television commercials, for which Kimmel made a break before taking his own commercial break. By the end of the 23-minute interview, Kimmel was amazed at how bad things had become for the country in the two years since Biden took office — much of which can be traced back to his predecessor. “What a terrible job you have,” he said with a dark laugh. “I’m glad you did. But, boy, oh boy, does that sound like a bad gig? ‘ “We should have done something about armed violence a long time ago, the climate — we could all look back these days and say, ‘Oh my God, why didn’t we do that?’” Kimmel said before Biden interrupted. to say that we have made “some progress”. “Some others!” said the host in response, indicating that he felt clearly not enough.
