More on the Disastrous Biden Interview: Host Scott Pelley Has to Help Him Finish Sentence, Says President 'Tired'
Red State ^ | 10/15/2023 | Nick Arama

I wrote earlier about a couple of the teaser clips from the "60 Minutes" interview with Joe Biden.

Those were bad, but the complete interview was even worse. 

First, we should note that there was a little bit of water-carrying for Joe Biden with host Scott Pelley saying that the president was fitting them into his busy schedule on Thursday. 

Can't make it up.@60Minutes's @ScottPelley carrying water for Biden before the interview even airs.

Pelley claims Biden had to "wedge" the interview into his busy schedule.

He had a 10am briefing and a 4:30 meeting that day. That's it. pic.twitter.com/i7Fb26TmpN— Mark Bednar (@MarkBednar) October 16, 2023

Biden had his 10 a.m. daily briefing and a 4:30 meeting where he just had to sit and listen to CEOs, how is that busy? Maybe it's "busy" for an 80-year-old who has so many issues. But that's why he shouldn't even be there. 

Biden seemed completely at sea throughout the interview, and so old. 

Pelley asked if he could foresee U.S. troops involved in the Israeli war. Notice his answer: it wasn't "no."

BIDEN: "Israel has one of the finest fighting forces in the country" pic.twitter.com/fOLFX9fjrl— RNC Research (@RNCResearch) October 15, 2023

It was "I don't think it's necessary" because "Israel has one of the finest fighting forces in the country." Um, Joe? Israel is its own country, it's not part of the U.S., what are you even saying here? In what country?

Then he threw Israel under the bus with this confusing remark, saying they should not reoccupy Gaza, that he thought that would be a "big mistake." Funny, that's just what Iran was hoping Joe would say, and there he is right on cue. You can see him struggling to answer this question.

Pelley asks what was his message to "Hezbollah and its backer Iran." Biden's response wouldn't exactly send fear down any bad actor's back, and Pelley even had to finish his thought for him. 

"What is your message to Hezbollah and its backer, Iran?"

BIDEN: "Don't don't don't don't"

"Don't....... come across the border?"

BIDEN: "That's right" pic.twitter.com/3SLT2cZben— RNC Research (@RNCResearch) October 15, 2023

I'm sure Iran is quaking in their boots right now. 

But heck, Biden -- even now -- is still giving them a pass. Listen to this ridiculous response from Biden which echoes what Secretary of State Antony Blinken has said. 

Biden, who recently released $6 billion for the Iranian regime, continues to claim there's no evidence whatsoever Iran was involved in the Hamas terrorist attacks on Israel pic.twitter.com/jLg3cBkqa7— RNC Research (@RNCResearch) October 15, 2023

He's saying there's no "clear evidence of that." He's saying they support Hamas financially, but it's not clear what they knew when. This is quibbling to give them a pass and to deflect from the money and deals that Biden made with Iran. The fact that he's saying this makes him look ignorant and has to have Iran laughing in response. Yeah, Joe, they just gave them money that you may have helped enable. The Iranian foreign minister met with the leader of Hamas on Saturday and embraced him for no reason, right? 

Pelley then asked him about some of the other issues, including Ukraine. Biden said that we didn't want to get sucked into another war in Europe. 

BIDEN: "Have you ever known a major war in Europe we didn't get sucked into?" pic.twitter.com/XuGXJ85k3D— RNC Research (@RNCResearch) October 15, 2023

But by funneling all of our money there, with no end in sight, it is dragging us into another war. It's the exact opposite of what he's saying. 

He then smeared millions of Americans who support former President Donald Trump.

"MAGA Republicans," Biden said. "They don't look at democracy the same way as you and I look at democracy." 

He's right about that. Democrats have gone completely radical around the bend, and yes, MAGA people -- who support a constitutional republic and not a Biden kingship -- don't agree with how that's torn the country apart and a lot of that is on Joe Biden. 

But notice something else in that video. There's an interesting jump cut right as he's asked that question. He says, "Look," and looks down, then it cuts out and comes back in. I'm curious as to why they did that and what they clipped out there. We've seen him phase out in interviews in the past. What happened at this point that "60 Minutes" took out? 

Then he said he wanted to run again because of the opportunities to help in the Middle East and Europe. How's that been going for him? 

"Are you sure that you want to run again?"

Biden says yes because he thinks he'll achieve world peace. He does not mention the American people. pic.twitter.com/huxKVjXaPK— RNC Research (@RNCResearch) October 15, 2023

By the way, you run to be the leader of this country, not the world's policeman. Notice how his response didn't deal with anything about America. 

But even though they seemed to carry water for Biden and who knows what they cut out in that jump cut, even Pelley had to admit that Biden seemed "tired" trying to do the job. 

CBS' Scott Pelley: "As we spoke to the president, his secretary of state was in Israel; his defense secretary was at a NATO meeting on Ukraine. America's oldest president seemed tired from directing all of this" pic.twitter.com/VNdnoQN7jg— RNC Research (@RNCResearch) October 15, 2023

Now, I don't think for a minute that Biden is "directing all of this" -- he's getting directed by his staff. But even CBS is now throwing him under the bus by questioning his age and ability to do the job. You know how bad the interview truly was when that's the takeaway.

From what I watched (13 minutes)...I’d say that he was about 70-percent focused and probably on some kind of simulant. If I were his staff, I would have discouraged the interview from happening.

If he is running in 2024, he needs to go back to the basement strategy of 2020, and avoid showing his age issue.

On 60 Minutes, dimwit Biden smeared millions of Americans who support President Donald Trump. “MAGA Republicans,” Biden said condescendingly “They don’t look at democracy the same way as you and I look at democracy.”

He’s right about that.

Democrats have gone completely radical; MAGA people — who support a constitutional republic and not a Biden kingship — don’t agree with how that’s torn the country apart and a lot of that is on Joe Biden.

No worries. The DNC has everything under control. Potato Head Biden will cruise through the 2024 Democrat primaries. There will be no debates, and very little opposition.

Then at the convention Biden will step aside for “health reasons”. He will be given an offer that he cannot refuse. The party bosses will then pick the ticket that is most likely to beat Trump. I predict Gavin Newsom/Michelle Obama.

And what about our lovely VP, Kamala Harris? She will be promised the next open seat on the Supreme Court. That won’t actually happen of course, but it will keep her compliant until the 2024 election is over.

OYOH, just imagine what an acting-president Harris would say in response to the same questions...
Between giggles, that is...

Almost all of us around here know it, the globalists own his butt. Exceptions are the war-lovers who want to keep the conflagration going in Ukraine; they have no problem with Joe's war there and support him in it.

Also Scott Pelley is a total lickspittle.

No worries. The DNC has everything under control.

My guess is that Israel will crush Hamas in Gaza. Then they'll call it a victory. And leave. Bibi falls from power. Biden gets reelected.

Why does that make Bibi fall from power, the crushing Hamas scenario?

Clip linked in one of the Tweets has Pelley starting by talking about how poor old Joe has the bad fortune to be one of the very few presidents to ever have to endure so many many crises as he has.

Right. He made these crises. Most Presidents lack his particular combination of stupidity, avarice, incompetence, thin skin, amorality, and aggressiveness to create such an environment, only Joe.

That picture reminds me of Tommy Smothers’ facial expression after Dick catches him in an obvious exaggeration.

My concern is that the Smothers Brothers skits were designed to get laughs. This president gets them from all around the world from people who used to respect the Presidency (and America)

Bibi will get the blame for not guaranteeing security for Israel.

“Bibi will get the blame for not guaranteeing security for Israel.”

Isn’t that his job?
