Biden's student debt giveaway reportedly wipes $250,000 slate clean for 49-year-old musician

>> Jesse: FOR THE LAST FOUR YEARS AMERICANS HAVE BEEN FORCED TO MAKE TOUGH FINANCIAL DECISIONS. TO BEAT OUT OR STAY HOME AND COOK? DO WE LEASE A NEW CAR OR KEEP THE CLUNKER? 'S CHRISTMAS COIN TO BE A LITTLE THIN? THESE ARE TOUGH CALLS. IN THE BIDEN ECONOMY WE ARE ALL FORCED TO MAKE THEM. IF WE GO THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS INTO DEBT IT'S NOT LIKE SOMEONE IS GOING TO BAIL US OUT RIGHT? WRONG. MEET JOEL, HE'S A 49-YEAR-OLD MUSICIAN FROM NEW YORK CITY. HE SPENT NINE YEARS STUDYING MUSIC IN COLLEGE. UNDERGRAD AND A MASTER'S DEGREE BUT WHEN HE GOT OUT HE REALIZED PLAYING THE FIDDLE DOESN'T PAY THE BILLS. ACCORDING TO BUSINESS INSIDER, HE RACKED UP SOME SERIOUS STUDENT DEBT AND REALIZED HE HAD A DIFFICULT CHOICE TO MAKE. HE QUOTES GREW TO REALIZE THAT THE ONLY WAY HE CAN MAKE A SIGNIFICANT DEBT -- DENT IN HIS STUDENT LOANS WAS BY SWITCHING CAREERS. HE DECIDED TO KEEP HIS LARGER STUDENT LOAN. HE KEPT ON JAMMING WHILE HIS DEBT RACKED UP TONS OF INTEREST. THAT WASN'T UNTIL THIS PAST FEBRUARY WHEN HE GOT AN E-MAIL FROM THE WHITE HOUSE LETTING HIM KNOW THAT THE QUARTER MILLION DOLLAR BILL HE HAD RACKED UP WENT PROOF. WHO PAID FOR IT? YOU DID. YOU ARE WELCOME JOEL. THAT IS LIFE-CHANGING MONEY BUT JOEL TOLD BUSINESS INSIDER THAT THE NEWS DIDN'T REALLY MAKE HIM JUMP FOR JOY. HE IS GLAD HE CAN START INVESTING IN HIS LONG-TERM GOALS LIKE TAKING AN INDIAN MEDITATION SABBATICAL TO STUDY WITH HIS TEACHER. SO EVEN THOUGH YOU ARE TIGHTENING YOUR BELT YOU CAN REST EASY KNOWING YOU PAID OFF JOEL'S $250,000 STUDENT LOAN WHILE HE IS DOING DOWNWARD DOG IN CALCUTTA. AND THERE ARE PLENTY MORE OUT THERE. THERE IS 82-YEAR-OLD KAREN WHOSE DREAMS OF PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHY SADDLED HER WITH $175,000 WORTH OF DEBT UNTIL OCTOBER. OR 70-YEAR-OLD PATRICIA AND ASPIRING ARTIST WHO HAD JUST HAD $88,000 FORGIVEN. ALL THANKS TO JOE BIDEN. PAYING OFF SOMEONE'S LOANS IS A PRETTY NICE GIFT. AND WONDER THEY WILL REPAY HIM IN NOVEMBER. DANA QUARTER MILLION DOLLARS WENT TO JOEL. >> HE NEEDS TO GET A JOB WORKING NEEDS TO GET OFF HIS ASS AND GET A JOB. FORTY-NINE YEARS OLD AND YOU'RE STILL TRYING TO MAKE IT AS A MUSICIAN? MAYBE GROW UP, MAN UP AND GET A REAL JOB SO YOU CAN SUPPORT SOMEBODY ELSE BESIDES YOUR MOUNTAIN DEW LIVEWIRE CHINOS EATING FIDDLE PLAYING HABITS. YOU HAVE TO GROW UP AT SOME POINT. IT'S NOT EVERYBODY ELSE'S RESPONSIBILITY TO ASSUME -- THESE PEOPLE ARE OLDER THAN ME, WHY AM I PAYING THEIR DEBT? I CAME FROM NOTHING. I DIDN'T ACCRUE ALL OF THAT DEBT BECAUSE I WORKED MY BUTT OFF, I GOT SCHOLARSHIPS AND IF I COULDN'T AFFORD IT I DIDN'T GO INTO DEBT FOR IT. AND PEOPLE ARE MAD AT ME SAYING THAT JESSE AND THE NEED TO BLAME DEMOCRATS WHO PUT ALL THIS UNDER THEIR CONTROL. >> Jesse: JOEL DOESN'T WANT TO SWITCH CAREERS. HE LIKES PLAYING MUSIC. >> I DIDN'T WANT TO ACTUALLY GET UP AND GO TO WORK THIS MORNING. I WANTED TO PLAGUE DARK TIGHT ALL DAY ON MY XBOX BUT GUESS WHAT? I'M A GROWN WOMAN JESSE, I HAVE BILLS TO PAY. I HAD TO GET UP AND GO TO WORK AND DO WORK. THAT'S WHAT ADULTS DO. THAT'S WHAT RESPONSIBLE CITIZENS WHO UNDERSTAND DUTY DO AND IF THEY ARE NOT FOLLOWING THROUGH, I THINK THEY HAVE TO QUESTION THEIR FAILED CITIZENSHIP. YOU ARE SCREWING OVER YOUR NEIGHBOUR. WE JUST HAD NATIONAL GOVERNMENT THAT DAY LAST WEEK IS EVERYBODY HAPPY WITH THIS? WE HOPE. >> WE HEAR THE WEATHER IS BEAUTIFUL AND HOPEFULLY HE CAN SEND SOME PICTURES TO US AND SHOW EVERYBODY HOW TRANSCENDENT HE IS. THANK YOU. >> I FEEL LIKE WE ARE LIVING THROUGH THE MOVIE PCU WITH... >> Jesse: WE WILL INVITE JOEL ON THE SHOW. >> YOU ARE STUDYING MEDITATION. FOR CRYING OUT LOUD GET SOMETHING. [ SIMULTANEOUS TALKING ] >> Jesse: YOU CAN JUST PRACTICE AT HOME. >> HE WASN'T THERE TO STUDY MUSIC. AT SOME POINT IT'S WEIRD. WHEN YOU ARE IN COLLEGE FOR NINE YEARS, YOU BECOME THE WEIRD DUDE THERE. THE WEIRD CREEPER WHO IS... >> Jesse: WITH A HOT LIKE THAT HE'S PROBABLY KNOCKING WOMEN AWAY WITH HIS VIOLIN. [ SIMULTANEOUS TALKING ] >> Jesse: WE'RE GOING TO HAVE EVERYBODY CHECKS THE SHOW ABOUT JOEL. AND IF YOU'RE OUT THERE WE WANT YOU TO COME ON AND WE WANT TO HEAR YOUR SIDE OF THE STORY.
