Mr. President, you're going to be at the inauguration. Some union leaders and even some kind of rank-and-file workers ended up voting for the other guy. How do you square that? You think you reached a deal in Gaza before your term ends? As you prepare to leave the White House, any other regrets that you have? Anything you wish you would have done differently? His rhetoric, what he's done, what he's threatened.
That's not America.
That's not who the hell we are.
We're not going away.
I'm not going away. I'm Ben Mycelis from the Midas Touch Network reporting from the Roosevelt Room in the West Wing of the White House. That's right, we have a very special interview for you today with President Joseph Biden. We will talk about his time in the White House. We will talk about his legacy. We will talk about what he intends to do in the future. We will talk about what is NATO, our NATO allies saying to him. We will address all of that and more on the Midas Touch Network. Mr. President, I want to thank you for this interview today. And we're here in the Roosevelt Room right now in the West Wing of the White House. You have a few more weeks here in the White House. And so as you look back over the past four years, what do you believe are your biggest accomplishments that you're most proud of?
Well, when I ran, I said I was going to try to do three things. Resource some integrity to the office, bring back a sense of focus on the needs of ordinary people, and try to unite the country. And so that's what I've done. I've tried to do. In four years, we've accomplished a lot. I mean, it hadn't trickled down to every single person yet, but we're in a situation where we have the strongest economy in the world by any measure. For example, we made sure that we got ourselves in a situation where we wanted to get results immediately. So I started to work on the things I thought were most consequential. How can we lead the world without having the best infrastructure in the world, the best ports, airports, et cetera, roads, highways, transportation, electric connectivity? How can we lead the world if we're not dealing with the single greatest threat to humanity, the emergence of climate change? We go above 1.5 degrees Celsius. we're in real trouble.
Our children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren are in real trouble. And if we can't move in the direction of seeing to it that we take care of the people who are most in need, for example, the idea that we charge so much for prescription drugs in America, I can take any one of you guys who have a prescription from any American drug company, put you in Air Force One and fly to any of 10 cities in the world. I can get you the same exact drugs from a drugstore, quote unquote, in those countries that is 40, 60% less. The only protected entity was Medicare could not negotiate with drug companies. I also think it was really important that we do something about you know, 1% of the population. was defending 99% of us. And we weren't taking care of our veterans if we had to. So that's why I worked so hard to make sure we're in a situation where we're provided for the opportunity for the veterans to be cared for and their families to be cared for. We fundamentally changed that.
