at the end of the day, though, joe biden the same joe biden we have seen for a very long time. stylistically, those who take issues with him will take issue with his speech last night. it was a very classic biden speech, complete with his own mannerisms that he throws in here or there. i think all of this is being seen through the lens of our politics. i think people's reactions to it, the way people evaluate that speech, are largely going to be honest on whether they support the president or not politically. >> speaking of the polarization you had mentioned earlier, how has he been successful in bringing opposing parties together. i know that unity and healing for what he had ran his campaign on. >> i think there, he has been a disappointment. the reality is he did campaign on a platform of bipartisanship. my view is that there have been several opportunities, whether on the initial release package on infrastructure, and now on some of these issues like improving education or childcare , where there is opportunity for bipartisan consensus. granted, it's going to be on a much s

joe biden is swinging for the fences. you look at this speech, this is a once in a century opportunity to reset the american system. you're talking about a free community college? you're talking about child care. you're talking about family leave. you're talking about the family economics that are on display here will change people's lives in a real way. so i think nobody has really put it together yet. this is a big reveal. you put all the stuff together. you've got the deferred maintenance taking care of for how this country can work for more people. i think it's a big deal. >> evan, you wrote the book on joe biden. are you surprised by the direction he's moving? >> he feels this moment calls as van said for something larger than an ordinary set of policy items. in his inauguration address 99 days ago, he mentioned democracy more than any address in history not only because we were two weeks after the insurrection out capitol. it's because he really sees there is a risk if americans don't believe democracy can deliver f
