Very much looking forward to seeing the pendulum swinging back the other way soon 😊

[williamhall]

Many would not be able to understand the mumbling if he did comment. AGAIN!

@Forbes afraid of the YouTube algorithm so plays upbeat calming tune and forcing you to read the news instead of listen and watch somebody say it.

[georgevalentine]

The big guy's day of reckoning is coming.

[bubbak]

I wanna hear Sen. Kennedy's response.. that should be an ear full.. he does have a way with words.

[rjorangecat]

He’s the one that needs to be put in jail.

[shirinmshmoudi]

I really don't know why the intelligent people of America chose you. ! When we hear your voice, we turn off the TV.

[unboxedcharacter]

Surprised Biden didn’t fumble and say, “It was a political hit job” 😭

[whitehaze]

Sounds like Deliverance music for Biden.

[debramartin]

What's the punishment for treason, Joe?

[stangman]

Trump should divest all assets out of New York. If he hasn’t he should relocate his home offices to Florida in a Red City.

[someonerandom]

Honestly, half the crap Trump is being charged with isn't even related to his presidency. There are definitely things the DOJ is involved in, but even if they didn't do anything there'd be plenty of things to try Trump with.

[kennethrogers]

If we hold donnald to the law, joe will have to be very careful! So you know!

[TimParker-Chambers]

I almost recognize the tune, but not enough to name it... 🤔🤔🤔🤔

[isabelbarroso]

Trump's indictment is a shameful and embarrassing subject for this country to go through. The world is looking at us and wondering what the frick.

[klhorner]

He probably doesn't understand big words. Indictment

[janetcomesky]

Why are we listening to music instead of hearing what biden has to say?!?! Is he mumbling again!!! FJB

[smithandjones]

Do we really care what jobama. Thinks?

[rolandsmith]

Biden couldn't comment on ice cream without notes from his boss.

[Angel_]

Of course! He doesn't want to look like the hypocrite that he is.
