Biden joins Howard Stern for live interview

[Tom of Temecula]

President Biden joined radio host Howard Stern for a live interview Friday, sitting down with the broadcaster at his New York City studio. The interview caught many by surprise because it was not listed on Biden’s public schedule. He spent Thursday night in New York City after attending a fundraiser hosted by actor Michael Douglas in Westchester County.

Stern asked Biden questions centered on his life, including meeting his first wife, playing football and stories about his stutter growing up. He also spoke of his time in law school, in which he called himself a “jerk” for not taking the schooling seriously, including ditching textbooks. Biden is also recounting the loss of his first wife, as well as meeting first lady Jill Biden. Stern has repeatedly praised Biden’s family, calling them “amazing,” when speaking about how Biden’s family members stepped in following his first wife’s death.

Stern reportedly sought an interview with Biden during the 2020 campaign, but it never came together. Former Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton sat down with Stern in 2019 for an interview.

Stern had in the past been friendly with former President Trump but since has become an outspoken critic of the former president.

1. Good! You just *know* this will get Donald's panties in a bunch

I'm so glad Stern has turned on Donald.

2. Might get the NYT's panties in a bunch as well.

He'll sit down with Howard Stern, but not us. How dare he?

5. No doubt

Trump used to be a friend of the show, but Stern isn't stupid, he saw what a monster Trump was and tried to talk him out of getting into politics.

Trump has admitted to all sorts of things on Stern's show including paying for abortions, and walking in on the Miss Teen USA dressing room while young girls were naked.

4. Stern is a great interviewer...

He does the research. Is empathetic.

Gets people to open up.

For all the shock jock schtick and the whack pack, there are few who are better at getting someone to tell their story than Howard Stern.

10. Stern is a fantastic interviewer

He did an interview with Barbara Streisand a few months ago that was over 2 hours and it was an amazing. He interviewed Hillary Clinton in 2019 that was also terrific.

I would prefer to hear President Biden's or VP Harris' statements, comments, and concerns directly.


This is what happens when journalists play the 'both sides' game . . . They did it to themselves.

13. WOW! Best Interviewer of ALL TIME on the Planet (Stern). Helps that he has UNLIMITED time and NOTHING is out of

bounds! Can't wait to listen! (Howard is usually not live on Fridays, so I wasn't listening during work for once, of course!)

14. Getting a sitting president is a huge score for Stern.

He’s wanted it for a while.
