>> Stephen: WELCOME BACK,
EVERYBODY.
SAY HI TO OUR FRIEND JON
BATISTE.
>> Jon: HELLO!
>> Stephen: HELLO, FRIEND.
I'LL BE TALKING TO JON LAPOOK.
DO YOU HAVE A QUESTION FOR HIM
ABOUT THE PANDEMIC?
>> Jon: SO MANY QUESTION.
WHEN IS THIS GOING TO BE OVER?
THAT'S THE BIGGEST QUESTION.
>> Stephen: I WILL START WITH
THIS, WHAT, IS THE EXIT
STRATEGY?"
DONE.
I HAVE TO GO.
CAN YOU GIVE US A LITTLE TASTE
BEFORE WE GO?
>> Jon: YEAH, YEAH, YEAH.
I GOT A LITTLE TASTE OF
SOMETHING.
♪ ♪ ♪
>> Stephen: JON BATISTE,
EVERYBODY.
>> Jon: HEY, THERE!
>> Stephen: GOODBYE, MY
FRIEND.
>> Jon: BYE-BYE.
HAVE A GOOD ONE.
>> Stephen: TURNING TO A SMALLER
ELECTION.
EVER SINCE JOE BIDEN WRAPPED UP
THE DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY, THERE'S
ONE ENDORSEMENT HE'S BEEN
WAITING FOR:
PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA, SEEN
HERE...
REMEMBERING.
WELL, TODAY, PRESIDENT OBAMA
DROPPED THIS VIDEO ON BIDEN'S
YOUTUBE CHANNEL, AND STARTED ON
A CASUAL NOTE.
>> HI, EVERYBODY!
>> Stephen: HI, HI, HI!
SO HAPPY TO SEE YOU!
WO, IT'S BEEN WAY TOO LONG!
LISTEN, THERE'S A LOT WE'VE GOT
TO CATCH UP ON.
DID YOU KNOW THAT THE PRESIDENT
AFTER YOU IS THAT GUY DONALD
TRUMP FROM THE PIZZA HUT
COMMERCIALS?
IT HAS BEEN A DOOOZY OF A FEW
YEARS.
I DON'T KNOW WHERE TO START.
HERE WE GO.
THE DAY AFTER THE INAUGURATION,
HE CLAIMED HIS CROWD SIZES
WERE-- YOU KNOW WHAT, NEVER
MIND.
I'LL SEND YOU SOME LINKS.
HOW'S RICHARD BRANSON?
NEVERMIND.
WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?
I'M SORRY.
THIS ISN'T FAIR.
GO AHEAD.
YOU WERE ENDORSING SOMEONE?
>> I'M SO PROUD TO ENDORSE
JOE BIDEN FOR PRESIDENT OF THE
UNITED STATES.
CHOOSING JOE TO BE MY VICE
PRESIDENT WAS ONE OF THE BEST
DECISIONS I EVER MADE.
AND HE BECAME A CLOSE FRIEND.
>> Stephen: (AS BIDEN)
"THAT'S YABBA, DABBA, TRUE.
TOLD YA ME 'N BARACK ARE
BESTIES!
AND THAT PROVES IT.
I ALSO DO HAVE A GIRLFRIEND UP
IN CANADA.
SHE'S SUPER-HOT, AND WE WENT TO
THIRD BASE BEHIND THE FIVE AND
DIME.
SHE'S JUST TOO BUSY TO COME DOWN
AND CAMPAIGN WITH ME."
OBAMA LAID OUT ALL THE WAYS
BIDEN OUTSHINES OUR CURRENT
PRESIDENT:
>> WHEN JOE TALKS ABOUT
OPPORTUNITY FOR OUR KIDS, WE
HEAR THE YOUNG FATHER WHO TOOK
THE TRAIN HOME EACH NIGHT SO HE
COULD TUCK HIS CHILDREN INTO
BED.
AND WE HEAR THE INFLUENCE OF
JILL, A LIFELONG TEACHER.
>> Stephen: YES, JILL HAS BEEN
VERY GOOD WITH ONE PARTICULAR
STUDENT, WHO HAS SOME BEHAVIORAL
ISSUES, BECAUSE EVIDENTALLY HE'S
A BITER.
OBAMA ALSO EXPANDED ON THE
BIGGEST APPEAL OF A BIDEN
PRESIDENCY: OTHER PEOPLE.
>> I KNOW HE'LL SURROUND HIMSELF
WITH GOOD PEOPLE-- EXPERTS,
SCIENTISTS, MILITARY OFFICIALS--
WHO ACTUALLY KNOW HOW TO RUN THE
GOVERNMENT.
>> Stephen: HEY!
HEY, NOW, MISTER!
LEAVE TRUMP'S STAFF ALONE.
IT'S FULL OF THE WORLD'S TOP
SONS-IN-LAW, FOX NEWS CASTOFFS,
AND BRAIN SURGEONS WHO ARE IN
CHARGE OF HOUSING, FOR SOME
REASON.
OBAMA ALSO TALKED ABOUT HOW
TIMES HAVE CHANGED SINCE HIS
FIRST CAMPAIGN.
>> I COULD NOT BE PROUDER OF THE
INCREDIBLE PROGRESS THAT WE MADE
TOGETHER DURING MY PRESIDENCY.
BUT IF I WERE RUNNING TODAY, I
WOULDN'T RUN THE SAME RACE OR
HAVE THE SAME PLATFORM AS I DID
IN 2008.
>> Stephen: HA-HA.
WOULDN'T IT BE FUNNY IF YOU DID
RUN FOR PRESIDENT AGAIN?
WOULDN'T THAT BE HILARIOUS?
OR MICHELLE?
OR HOW OLD ARE THE GIRLS NOW?
OR BO?
WHAT'S BO DOING?
NOTHING IN THE RULEBOOK SAYS A
DOG CAN'T BE PRESIDENT.
OBAMA ALSO REACHED OUT TO
SUPPORTERS OF BERNIE SANDERS,
KNOWING JOE BIDEN CAN'T WIN
KNOWING JOE CAN'T WIN THE
PRESIDENCY WITHOUT THEM.
>> BERNIE'S AN AMERICAN
ORIGINAL, A MAN WHO HAS DEVOTED
HIS LIFE TO GIVING VOICE TO
WORKING PEOPLE'S HOPES, DREAMS,
AND FRUSTRATIONS.
>> Stephen: RIGHT NOW, MOSTLY
THE FRUSTRATION PART.
AND HE LAID OUT THE STAKES IN
NOVEMBER.
>> OUR COUNTRY'S FUTURE HANGS ON
THIS ELECTION.
AND IT WON'T BE EASY.
THE OTHER SIDE HAS A MASSIVE WAR
CHEST.
THE OTHER SIDE HAS A PROPAGANDA
NETWORK WITH LITTLE REGARD FOR
THE TRUTH.
>> Stephen: (AS OBAMA)
"SO THIS TIME AROUND, WE'RE
TAKING A PAGE OUT OF THEIR BOOK.
JOE IS THE STRONGEST, SHARPEST,
YOUNGEST MAN EVER TO RUN FOR
PRESIDENT, AND HE'S GOING TO
GIVE EVERYONE... UHHHHH...
A PONY YOU CAN HAVE SEX WITH.
VOTE BIDEN/SEX HORSE 2020."
WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK WITH YOUR
QUESTIONS FOR CBS' DR. JONATHAN
LaPOOK.
