The conversation as a whole was even worse than that.
Initially, it is important to acknowledge that there was a little water carrying for Joe Biden, as anchor Scott Pelley mentioned that the president managed to squeeze them into his hectic itinerary this week.
How busy is Biden, you ask? He attended his daily briefing at 10 a.m. and then a 4:30 meeting when all he had to do was sit and listen to CEOs. It might be “busy” for an 80-year-old with a lot of problems. That’s the reason he should not be there.
Biden looked very lost and old during the whole conversation.
Pelley asked him if he thought U.S. troops would be involved in the war with Israel. Take a look at his answer: it was not “no.”
It’s “I don’t believe it is necessary” since “Israel possesses one of the greatest fighting forces in the country.” Hey, Joe? There is no such thing as the United States in Israel. It happens to be its own country. In which country?
He then said something confusing about Israel: he said they shouldn’t reoccupy Gaza because he believed it would be a ” huge mistake.” It’s funny, because Iran was just waiting for Joe to say that, and there he is. He’s clearly having a hard time answering this question.
He was asked what he had to say to “Hezbollah as well as its backer Iran.” Any bad guy wouldn’t have been scared off by Biden’s answer, and Pelley had to finish his sentence for him.
However, there’s more to note in that video. Just as that question is asked, there’s an interesting cut to black. After saying “Look,” he looks down. The sound goes out and then comes back on. I want to know what they clipped out as well as the reason they did that. In conversations, we’ve seen him fade out before. What took place here that “60 Minutes” left out?
So he said he was going to run once more because he saw chances to help people in Europe as well as the Middle East. How has that worked out for him?
You’re not running to be the world’s cop; you’re running to be the leader of this country. His answer had nothing to do with America, as you can see.

No matter how hard they worked for Biden or what they left out in the jump cut, even Pelley had to agree that Biden looked “tired” doing his job.
I don’t believe that Biden is “in charge of all of this” at all; his team is telling him what to do. Some people, including CBS, are now calling him names because they doubt his age and his capacity to do the job. When that is the main point, you know the conversation was really bad.
