President Biden told reporters that he has no plans to visit East Palestine, Ohio, and pointed to a "whole video Zoom" that he conducted on the train derailment.
Biden made the comments on Friday evening as he was leaving the White House to go to his Wilmington, Delaware residence.
"Are you planning to travel to East Palestine, Ohio?" a reporter asked.
"At this point, I'm not. I did a whole video, I mean, um, what the hell, on…" Biden said as he struggled to find his next words.
"Zoom?" a reported interjected.
"Zoom!" All I can think of every time I think of Zoom is that song in my generation, ‘Who’s Zooming who?" Biden said.

Is that a Civil War era song?
GMTA
Dump him off in Ramallah so he can visit Yasser Arafat’s tomb. He won’t know the difference.
Released 1985.
Less important point but a song that came out in 1985 is a Gen X song, not the Victorian era or whatever generation Biden is
When I was 12 I thought Nina was hot.
RE: Biden caught on Who’s Zoomin’ Who released long after his being “raised.”....
So then Biden seems to be a....
“lying dog-faced pony soldier.”🐶🐎
Its too bad that Adam hadnt checked with Barbara Billingsly.
I certainly dont mean to be attempting to defend Biden but I object to that stupid phrase being pushed on Gen X. It was a stupid retread phrase then
Aretha herself states that she picked up the phrase from someone in the early 70s. I know for sure I had heard it in the early 70s or late 60s already used in that way (despite what Mirriam Webster says about it first being a verb in 2014). It seemed there was always a sexual connotation. Yes, someone was getting the wool pulled over as others define it but suggesting that there was some kind of cheating going on.
It was a phrase in another song though I couldnt tell you the name of it, I can just hear it in my head. I want to say that it was common enough to have jumped from some obscure jive to a phrase that was used on Laugh-In(?) or one of those types of shows but maybe it was just more of Detroit/Chicago thing. There has to be a Boomer around here somewhere that remembers more than I could know first hand.
...It was a stupid retread phrase then...
It was a stupid retread phrase then that she seemed to be intentionally using as a touchstone back to the generation that were her primary fans.
Zoom?
Is there no White House Team?
