MSNBC host Lawrence O’Donnell gave president biden high praise for his accomplishments while in office, including signing a $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill into law.
“Listen, I said I would never get an infrastructure bill,” O’Donnell told Biden at the final interview of his presidency published on Thursday. “With my legislative experience, having worked in the Senate, I didn’t see how it was possible with this small, smallest Senate majority in history. To this day, it seems like a magic trick to me how you did it.”
The Biden Infrastructure Jobs and Investment Act, signed into law on November 15, 2021, has allocated billions of dollars to environmental projectsincluding the advancement of clean energy through public transportation and environmental cleanup.

“Well, look, the argument I made to the congressmen (and) senators who had come down is: how can you lead the world without having the most modern infrastructure in the world?” Biden said.
“You combined domestic policy and foreign policy in a way I’ve never heard any other president do,” O’Donnell told Biden.
“Well, by the way, because it is necessary,” the president responded. “There is no way to implement our foreign policy unless, in terms of our economic policy, we are in a strong position to do so. Look, Lawrence, you are one of the most informed people I know. I’m not being solicited… well , I shouldn’t say that and damage your reputation. But, joking aside, think about it, if we’re not the ones leading the world, who is leading the world? Biden said.
“What’s wrong? I don’t mean dominating,” he continued. “I mean leading the world on basic, fundamental principles like the UN Charter, that kind of: who steps up, who has the capacity to do it? We have the size, we have the reach, we have the capacity, “We have the technology. But we just have to get back in the game and that’s all I’ve really done.”
