    When you let this man speak long enough he will always eventually say the quiet part out loud and then get ushered away from the podium as quickly as possible.😂😂
  • @twistedfuk666
    That was no joke , Biden is an absolute embarrassment
  • @Glenintheden
    What makes you think he's joking? What's funny is that he's not joking, he's serious.
  • @Hawke301
    Forbes calls this a joke...everyone else recognizes it for what it is...and that's one of the problems with the media.
  • @michaelmcmanus5196
    People laugh, but it’s true. So who is pulling the strings? It’s treason if he’s not doing his job and others are doing it.
  • @richardhendry3883
    At least he openly admits that he’s just a puppet. Now he needs to tell us who’s actually running the show. I’m pretty sure We didn’t vote for them.
  • I don't think he was joking. Also, the real story here is that he was very confused, wandered around for a bit, was mumbling seemingly incoherent phrases, and generally acted senile during this "press conference".
  • @jfree336
    This is what you report? Not that he said he was going to bed, started mumbling incoherently and then the press secretary stopped the press conference?
  • @chrisnalina1755
    Whatever happened to those hour long press conference that every previous President used to have on a regular basis taking questions from dozens of different journalists and reporters during each hour long Presidential press conference?
  • It's wasn't a joke,.. it was an unintentional moment of honesty. Just like that time he told that guy "I don't work for you, Jack."
  • @ANTHONY-mo7gk
    Forbes covering for Joe Biden! That's the real joke!
  • @Aereaux
    He cannot do anything without being told what to do when.
  • @yolaniearon4472
    Sad thing is. It’s not a joke😂 he’s dead serious and we all know it.
  • @noneyabizz8337
    The best bit of this exchange is a few seconds after this clip ends. His speech rate slows, he says he's going to bed, he starts making less sense, the WH staff kills the briefing. Damage from multiple aneurysm and the drug cocktail they pump into him wearing off.
  • @FirstLast.....
    He's the biggest national security threat America has ever faced.
  • @Mike-cg3yy
    America does not need a lame joker they need a real president.
