Hey, everyone, welcome to left, right, and center. I'm David Green. Wow, we are in an extraordinary period of ceremony and pageantry in Washington, D.C. There was the funeral for the late Jimmy Carter, who was the longest living president in U.S. history. And then we have the buildup to a presidential inauguration, and an historic one. Donald Trump

will be only the second U.S. president to have won two non-consecutive terms. And we're going to have time

next week to preview the second Trump presidency as he takes the oath of office once again. Today,

I would like to mark the four years that are coming to a close, the presidency of Joe Biden.

We don't know yet how history is going to judge President Biden, but we can try and make sense of this moment together and talk about what unfolded, talk about some of the decisions Biden made and the challenges he faced, and try and put

things in a larger context, as we always like to do. Sarah Isger is back with us this week on the

right. She's senior editor at the dispatch, host of the advisory opinions podcast, and was spokesperson

at the Department of Justice under President Trump and Moa Lathie is here, executive director at

Georgetown University's Institute of Politics and Public Service

was Communications Director for the DNC and also advised Hillary Clinton.

It's nice to have the team all back together again.

Hello to both of you.

Hey, guys.

You know, as we start talking about Joe Biden in his four years, I thought it would be nice to just hear a moment of Biden, who was eulogizing former president Carter during the funeral ceremonies in Washington.

This is a little bit of what Biden said.

In his life, in this life, any walk of faith can be difficult. It can be lonely,

but it requires action to be the doers of the world. It's so interesting. We often talk about,

you know, a very elite club of people who serve in the White House who can understand what it means to be doers of the world in that way.

And the loneliness of it, requiring action, all the pressure on you.

Just an interesting moment always to hear a president talking about a former president.

You know, I thought we could start broadly. You know, I mentioned we don't know what

history is going to say about Joe Biden, and we've certainly seen the legacies of former presidents
