Hello, and welcome!

Today we are jumping into a reportedly leaked Zoom call that’s giving the Biden campaign a huge amount of headaches. In this call, President Biden can be heard launching into a tirade, shockingly even mocking the service of a combat veteran.

According to Puck news who saw the video and verified it, Biden was meeting with some moderate House Democrats. The meeting didn’t go well, and the fallout is turning into an avalanche. Attendees of the meeting have reported that Biden’s performance was, and I quote, “even worse than the debate,” as he struggled to finish sentences and lost his train of thought.

The source of this information is a video that’s been confirmed as genuine. On this call, Biden was questioned by Rep. Jason Crow, who is a retired U.S. Army Ranger and a Bronze Star recipient for his service. Instead of addressing Crow’s concerns, however, it seems Biden went on the offensive, going as far as to mock Crow’s service.

Adding to the drama, Biden claimed that he “put NATO together” and that every foreign leader considers him “the most effective leader in the world on foreign policy.” I have yet to find any evidence to substantiate these claims. Furthermore, it’s important to note that NATO was fully operational long before Biden took office.

“First of all, I think you’re dead wrong on national security,” the president said, the emotion at times garbling his words. “You saw what happened recently in terms of the meeting we had with NATO. I put NATO together. Name me a foreign leader who thinks I’m not the most effective leader in the world on foreign policy. Tell me! Tell me who the hell that is! Tell me who put NATO back together! Tell me who enlarged NATO, tell me who did the Pacific basin! Tell me who did something that you’ve never done with your Bronze Star like my son—and I’m proud of your leadership, but guess what, what’s happening, we’ve got Korea and Japan working together, I put Aukus together, anyway! … Things are in chaos, and I’m bringing some order to it. And again, find me a world leader who’s an ally of ours who doesn’t think I’m the most respected person they’ve ever—”

Of greater concern is Biden’s apparent belittling of Crow’s Bronze Star. The president seems to have implied that his own son accomplished more with his Bronze Star, even though Beau Biden served in a non-combat role. Crow’s criticisms were met with an outburst from Biden, who said he didn’t “want to hear that crap.”

That’s the real Joe Biden right there, not some quite old man.
