Just finished watching O'Donnell. Completely agree with you. I am infinitely tired of so called allies of Biden knocking him every chance they get, or qualifying their "praise". Harris did well in the time she had - I won't fault her. I fault every damn D that undercut Biden every chance they got and didn't go to bat for him in the past 4 years, and tell the "unwashed masses" exactly what Biden had done for them.

This is so sad. Democrats need a kick in the pants. They are responsible for these results and they are still being namby pamby. They need to stop this shit and stand together. Don’t go to the inauguration. Don’t give republicans an inch. We need younger lead ship stepping up. Get your pat on the back and move over. You did Biden and the country wrong.

I would go and then walk out en mass after the oath that he doesn't plan on keeping.

I took several things away from this exemplary interview with O’Donnell giving President Biden opportunity for lengthy answers and drawing out stories from him. Notably, Present Biden has an instinct for both policy and working with leaders in regions across the world to resist conventional wisdom and groupthink and find the path that is best for everyone. Whether dramatically changing the landscape of economic policy, showing allied support in a war zone, or negotiating peace among nations of varied interests, histories, and commitments President Biden has admirably demonstrated commitment to the deepest values of the best of who we can be as a country.

That was one of the best political interviews I have ever seen. Showed us what we're losing on Monday.

It was helpful in understanding why he chose to push the proposals and in seeing how clear-eyed he is about the results (e.g., years of work in red states that will be successful years from now). I appreciate Lawrence O’Donnell, an evenhanded person who rarely raises his voice, and it was nice to hear President Biden speak without interruption. A good and valuable interview.

How fine to have our brilliant President engaged in authentic journalism with a respected and respectful interviewer. Truth reigns!

I never thought President Biden was that bad, uncertain to say the least . His interview was mind blowing, it's a cruel thing to do to a person, no matter who they are. no wonder President Biden was very upset. I wish him and Jill the best for a long life together. God bless Mr. president and First Lady Jill Biden.

Showing why independent media/journalism is important. Along with people like O’Donnell.

I agree with every single point you made. I watched the entire interview during The Last Word and was struck by the humor, intelligence, lucidity, insight, clear mindedness, humility, and downright humanity of President Biden. I have always admired him and believed he was a good President. So, it was such an extraordinary gift to see him, relaxed and so very . . . well, just so real, in this wonderful

interview with Lawrence O’ Donnell at the close of his presidency.

It was that horrible debate that did Biden in. They couldn’t reschedule it since he was sick and medicated? Omfg! That’s when panic set in.. for me too!

Truth is fluid now

Truth is not fluid. The internet has replaced editorial fact-checked reporting. Lies can make it around the world in nanoseconds and uninformed individuals expand on those lies with the help of Fox Propaganda Network and right-wing influencers. Trump and Putin have perfected the use of lies to advance their agendas.

It was good, certainly more than what bozo could have done. I think I’m angry with the democratic elite, (too late now) I didn’t think he was too old before, but I listened to the leaders. Kamala did a great job running against the buffoon she had too little time and he had too much money. Hopefully she will have another chance!

Hard to overcome the Trump machines lies.

An excellent interview. It is good to see an interviewer who treated Biden with the respect he deserves. The “gotcha” interviews by Lester Holt and George Stephanopolus made me sick, and caused me to completely lose respect for them. I wish that Biden had done more interviews like this during his presidency, although many people wouldn’t sit and watch it, instead preferring to hang on to the belief that he is senile. There is so much ageism in this country. Many people don’t understand that an older person who speaks softly and stumbles over their words can be effective and intelligent in their actions. I cried at the end of this interview over the loss of the leadership of this truly decent man as our president and the loss of the opportunity to have Kamala as our president. I was very touched by Biden’s dedication to the good of this country. I am sickened and terrified about what is coming as the Trump regime takes over.

And it appears once again Netanyahu is going to try to screw up the cease fire.

No surprise. He really doesn't give a damn about anyone else, including his own people. Just like the incoming President Orange Snake AKA POS.

Way to go Lawrence. He has been steadfast in his support of President Biden. He refused to join the cast of sharks sensing blood in the water the night of the debate.

It was a good interview. Thank you Lawerence! And thank you for the last 4 years MR. President!!!

Thank you Lawrence for giving us a clear view of a great president and his accomplishments. He should have backed out of that debate when he was ill and medicated. Now we have the orange bully back. his experience and intelligence will be sorely missed.

I agree 100 percent.
