these uncut, unedited interviews are amazing. Hope you do not get tired of making them available. I cannot tell you how valuable they are to figure out what is really happening, and the questions brought by your team are also very helpful.
Since Biden took office, there seem to have been more unfavorable results in America. These results include effects on the markets, such as price declines and sharp increases in inflation, as well as bank failures. I wonder if the sudden increase in interest rates will help value investors or if it would be wiser to stay away from the stock and financial markets for the time being.
To "buy the dip" It will be profitable in the long run. However, investors should be wary of the bull run. It is advisable to connect with a skilled adviser to fulfill your growth objectives and prevent mistakes. High interest rates typically result in lower stock prices.
It's often true that people underestimate the importance of financial advisors until they feel the negative effects of emotional decision-making. I remember a few summers ago, after a tough divorce, when I needed a boost for my struggling business. I researched and found a licensed advisor who diligently helped grow my reserves despite inflation. Consequently, my reserves increased from $275k to around $750k.
Recently, I have been exploring the possibility of consulting with advisors. As a mature individual, I am in need of guidance, but I am curious to know how truly impactful their services can be?
There are a handful of experts in the field. I've experimented with a few over the past years, but I've stuck with ‘’Jessica Lee Horst” for about five years now, and her performance has been consistently impressive. She’s quite known in her field, look-her up.
I appreciate you sharing this. When I looked up the woman you named and read through her credentials, it was obvious that she was a complete professional. I just need her to respond to the message I wrote her.
I got to hang with Joe at a very bad time when he visited NY to be with his late wife's folks soon after the terable wreck. Joe is just goodness and a wonderful American.
North Korea has nothing on you lemmings

@@mythicalnomadadventure969 What makes him wonderful? His support for the ongoing genocide in Gaza?
@@djaaferrahmine8580 Treaties that fund Israel were signed decades ago, before this far right regim was in place. Only way I see is for everyone to be open good neighbors. It's sad to see.
All biographies are subjective. It was interesting to hear Foer's perspective. Not saying he has perfect vision, but we do often romanticize our heroes, and there were points here to help understand some of the complexities of Biden's life. Only people who do nothing with their lives have no detractors, and Joe Biden will long be remembered as one of the greats.
Thank you, President Biden.
This guy is so unpleasant and very disrespectful
I agree. It is obvious that he holds a disdain for Biden but wraps it up in the guise of journalism. I am sure Biden has faults as we all do but it just seemed like this guy was coming from the impetus of “I really don’t like the guy “ and it seems to slither out during parts of this interview. Not professional
Joe Biden’s capacity to empathize will be his defining political characteristic. There is a lot he has done in his career that I strongly disagree with, but I find that quality about him admirable.
I feel a similar way but understanding his corruption and of his entire family as well as John Kerry's family, it's disgusting criminal and evidence is irrefutable, not circumstantial. Same goes for almost all politicians. My problem, I guess, is that I maybe have too high a standard for these people.
@@victorblock3421what's your opinion on Trump?
Stop idolizing politicians, he's no more "empathetic" than any other self serving politician get real. 😂
@@blackdragon6 the path of cynicism is a cop out
He also got multiple bills passed that soared our economy. A total legend when you dive deep into what he has actually done versus media and Trump say.
"He's just part of the "furniture of Washington " is the absolute most savage diss I can say I've ever heard. Trust me, I've heard some crazy burns. 😂
I know, right. This interviewee needs some more years in order to have opinions about this President.
Who is this guy..? Yikes. Self awareness is not the guys strong point.
Absolutely! Self-aggrandizing to say the least.
@@mistygirl3995 Apparently Biden didn’t wish him a happy birthday.
Yikes? This ain't reddit sweetheart
Think this is the worst frontline interview I slept through
Of course he holds grudges. Of course President Biden is Resilient.
He is a Scorpio!!
Love the man 🩵
Oh my god please tell me this whole comment was sarcastic
Disagree he is heroic
Fancy Ivy leagers make me SICK 🤢🤮🤢🤮 superiority Bs
I love Joe Biden.
Joe Biden’s needed in Washington. meeting not part of any scandal decent able to work and wanting to work with Republicans And wanting to truly work in ways that helps all Americans. it’s really too bad that his age is or has caught up with him, but he came out of retirement and did what he had to do that was to take the White House from Donald Trump. He can hold his head high and we should respect him and honor him as he walks into the sunset..
You don't know he's been integral to many scandals. Your liberal bubble keeps you shielded from this information. It's absolutely mind blowing that there are people like you that have no clue to this basic knowledge.
Doug Casey! Read it!
@@pada410 I need some of what you're smoking. Must lose all sense of reality.
@@Toquer88 don’t smoke! just a independent thinker who happens to be a independent voter. also i’m tired of the loudmouth wannabe politicians. you stay red and ill stay purple.
@@touchofgrey5372 that’s OK I already have a excellent financial advisor. Thanks anyways.
Wow - I am listening to this from Canada. I listen to Frontline often. I have not once commented. This time I have to. The questions of this interviewer are terribly leading and biased against Joe Biden. Strangely obvious. And really not necessary.
This is too much psychoanalysis of anyone ..Biden is good deep down we all know it. Wonder what he think of Trump...strong and confidence rather than narcissist
*Wonder what he THINKS
Biden has been a blundering idiot/puppet for 4 years.
Trump had the best economy that I can remember, no wars, sensible policies.
This guy is really critical of Biden. What did he do to him that made him so bitter. Did he ignore you one day?
funny enough this seems to be a running theme. there's quite a few politicians and journalists who seem to have very petty reasons for disliking biden and therefore acting in immature and unfair ways. i think it's just the consequences of being "different." biden is honest and real and he's damn good at his job. i think many people want him to sit lower than them because they feel small.
here, it's not the worst. i think he just thinks he understands biden more than he does.
@@littlelou050 I honestly have never seen a president so brutally bashed for doing a great job. Even at the debate he answered questions with facts and figures and his lack of energy was all everybody focused on. Meanwhile there’s a raving lunatic spouting lies every 30 seconds that reporters won’t call out to his face. The power of the pen is indeed mightier than the sword.
This creep stands for journalisme today
How dare you slam the president who saved us from trump.
He was the first presidential candidate who won more than 80,000,000 votes.
What gives you credences to psychoanalyze anyone?
President Biden 💙 🙏
Amazing! Thank you Frontline! ❤
Really, Frontline!!!?? The longer I listen, the more pissed-off I'm getting. Total B.S.
Yes, Frontline too! Nothing is sacred anymore.
I don't understand your anger. We went from a sure-loss to a probable-win because he tapped out.
@@cynthiakammann7368 why so angry? this is a genuine question.
Does the truth hurt, Cynthia?
True man ,jealousy is a bad character to posses.
What a great interview, I'm very independent, but I really like this
Crazy - yall were gonna still vote for him .. and you didn’t say any of this the past three years
This is the most ridiculous idiotic interview. If he wants to mock anyone, stop trying thinking all apples are from the same tree
What does "Stop trying thinking" mean in English.
@@January. , Meaning the dude wasn't having any thought one way or the other, until when confronted by the circumstances where he had to utter some sounds, if not really any words, in order to prevent the conversation from being cut short and thus ended abruptly because of his having no thought whatsoever. He then tried to come up with some sounds to utter when the notion "all apples come from the same tree" hit him, and he tried hard to manage on how to utter that notion with words with which he wished to make himself appear (to the person interviewing him) to have thought it over and decided that yes all apples come from the same tree. And the head of this thread just wishes that dude not to pretend to have done any trying as if he had done some thinking as to the notion of "all apples come from the same tree." By the way, would you happened to be from Alabama or Arkansas? (Just curious)
@@etbuch4873 I only understand intelligible English.
@@January. One would've thought that his English is PLAIN enough for just about anyone.
@@etbuch4873 It was your attempt at English I was referring to.
WTH is this guy talking about?.. or should I ask WHO? 🤨
Frontline, why are you interviewing this clueless person?
Screw this bastard.
You refuse to see the humanity of a great but humble man!
@@frederickwalker740 It's funny how this interviewee talks about Biden's verbal gaffes, while he doesn't seem to stop and think about what he is saying. His view is pretty brutal, and not very well balanced, imo. Otherwise, I would agree with you 100%.
I can't believe this guys viewpoint on Southern Delaware peoples opinions. Really, I lived in Southern Delaware from 2002 - 2016 and not once was there a single "segregationalist" opinion of a single person I ever met. People from S. DE are not "yokels". Majority of them are retiree's from NY and NJ b/c of the low property taxes. Its a beach and farm community.
He’s talking about 1952-1972.
*retirees
His rude characterizations make Joe Biden's gaffes look laughable.
Nitpicking for 2 hours? VOTE BLUE!
Hell no
@@Toquer88 If note Blue, then "project 2025" it will be.
@@andretraylor7418 They've melted your brain.
😂
@@Toquer88 heh!
Timestamps, please!
I don't have time for 2 hours of reminiscing! Where is the segment on Biden's decision?
Sounds like you don’t understand the warm side of Joe Biden.
Doug Casey; read i!
Frontline 👍
I enjoyed this interview because it gives more background into what went into the final Biden's Decision documentary by FRONTLINE PBS.
Another great interview.
Both Trump and Joe are highly ambitious. Both make their opposition angry. Both have bases that like their positions but admit the man is not who is Presidential. Both are from the northeast, white, older, have a slight connection to religion, education, and the idea of a family and a destiny. What will we say about the walk up to Kamala- if she wins. All I know about her is that she's prettier than both of them, can argumently bite people's heads off, and is from California. Does she want there to be free elections? Does she plan on expanding the power of the presidency? Can she debate and neg I tiate well- from conviction- both at home and abroad? Will my taxes go up? Will I be allowed to disagree with her and her party's ideas? Will our country make it thru the next crisis- whatever it happens to be-with her leadership helping us?
Putin Wanted to Chew him out, But Nato did it; Uncle Sam: Mad~
@@chino9472 after W praised Putin’s soul and Trump kissed his ass it was Biden who told Putin “I don’t believe you have a soul”.
@@frederickwalker740 Perfect!
I didn’t expect this lack of objective analysis from Frontline. Should I?
how long did you watch before you commented... truthfully...
Frontline would never let someone on who spoke ill of the democratic party
@@spaceedementia I watched for about 36 minutes.
Damn this is weird I just picked this guy's book "how soccer explains the world" at the library. Unless this interview is old I wasn't sure if he was still alive
this is a bad interviewer
Awesomely terrible
0:25 in and you lost me.
Why is Frontline even interviewing this bozo?
Me too. I give up.
DITTO.. 😒
bro, this comment section makes so much sense. if you can pay attention for _longer_ than 25 seconds, you'll see that this man is practically glazing biden. People who are so sure that their views are the superior ones (and basing their votes on them) can't even be bothered to listen to someone speak for a single minute if they think it may be in disagreement. this man is actually super fair to biden
The interviewer talks too fast and mumbles frequently.
...and who told you that God didn't answer? He knows what you are going through, he listened and the answer, given, is on its way...
Maybe try tapping into something important, frontline!!

💎
Toupees look awful and don't fool anyone.
Bs on the Obama, complete opposite
At 27 years old, Biden was too old to hit up woodstock. Damn
So Frontline is going to pump hours and hours of 'interviews' trying to showcase Biden as some kind of messiah? LOL. Well, It works I suppose as there are a number of fools that fall for it.
The world is a stage.
Worst ever
it wasn't his choice, way to lose your credibility!
Wish he stepped down. And had a fair Dem.Primary. Now I'm for Trump. Kamala is a lightweight imo.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤡🤡🤡🤡
you seem to be uninformed
When I voted Biden/Harris, I voted knowing if he stepped down, she would succeed him. Kamala is a proven prosecutor. I will choose law and order over the felonious other candidate.
@@mikepj67 Doesn't matter. I didn't leave the Democrat party. They left me.
@@tomjones5650 to each their own, think it would be good to have a female president
It heroic? Jesus Christ all he has done has been that.
This guy is far too green to analyze President Biden.
