Pausing at 1:44 — Fallon prompts him to tout the infrastructure bill, and he talks about how far "behind the curve" we are. He doesn't use the phrase "Make America Great Again," but that's his pitch. He mentions 2 details of greatness to come: removing lead pipes and providing high speed internet. Just the flow of essential material into our home — water and data.
Pausing at 3:27 — Fallon prompts him to talk about "Build Back Better" — how will it help Americans with the cost of living? That made me think about inflation, but the answer was about helping people pay for childcare and providing schooling for younger children. Fallon followed up, but not about inflation, just about whether BBB could "pass the Senate before the year." I presume Fallon is working from a script and was supposed to say "before the new year" or "before the end of the year."
Pausing at 5:29 — Fallon praises Biden for being "classy" and "bringing class back to the office."
Pausing at 5:57 — Fallon asks what can be done about Covid when not everyone is getting the vaccine. Fallon himself will do anything Biden tells him to do, and "If you want me to wear red pants, I'll wear red pants." When is it not about science but about obeying orders?
Pausing at 9:26 — Prompted about his poll numbers, Biden offers optimism about the economy, then concedes, "We do have inflation." He's trying to reduce the cost of gas by increasing the supply using the Strategic Petroleum Reserve.
Pausing at 10:06 — He's going to "shoot from the shoulder." He's said that before, as noted here. He's mixing up "shoot from the hip" and "straight from the shoulder."
Pausing at 12:01 — "I have enormous confidence. You're going to realize what a naive guy I am, but I really have faith at the end of the day. The American people are going to get it. They understand."
The video ends with Fallon announcing that there will be more with Biden. What have I got myself into? Here's Part 2:
Pausing at 1:16 — Biden says that he and Jill grew up middle class, so it's hard to get used to all the people in the White House waiting on them. He made a deal with people who do the food to leave them alone in the morning and let them get their own breakfast. He mentions eggs, and Jimmy expresses amazement. Jimmy: "You cook your own eggs?" Biden: "Well, I don't. Jill does." This gets a huge laugh, but I had the classic feminist reaction: That's not funny. They had chefs serving them breakfast, Biden told them to back off, because he's got a wife for that?
Pausing at 1:28 — More laughing and Biden breaks in to tell a story of "When Jill was in graduate school, which was her whole life, it seems," which sounds like a criticism of Jill for getting her education. The story is about an interview someone did with "my daughter," who said her "daddy" couldn't do much, only boil water and cook "psghetti." Again, this is bad feminism! The man just can't cook. Ha ha. So the woman must do the cooking. For decades. And by the way, what's with "my daughter"? Why not "our daughter"?!
98 comments:
Hypocrites.
You cook your own eggs?" Biden: "Well, I don't. Jill does."
does Anyone believe this? or what?
they set up the kitchen, cooking Everything but the eggs
Dr Jill comes in, fries the eggs (so they can say 'The Biden's Cook!;)
Then Dr Jill walks out of the kitchen, leaving clean up (and lunch (And dinner)) to the staff?
I mean, Seriously; Does ANYONE Believe this? Who cooked at the Naval Observatory?
“ Fallon praises Biden for being "classy" and "bringing class back to the office." ”
Joe Biden is many things. Classy isn’t one of them.
One ginormous infomercial- I didn’t bother watching #2. All that pandering &blather makes me tired.
I’ve never minded the sexist role calls- for people like me, it’s fact.
Ido mind him saying they grew up Middle class &always fended for themselves- maybe their parents did &they grew up w/their parents being self-sufficient - but don’t tell me that continued during Washington years- it’s like my girls saying they can milk when they’ve only put one machine on or watched for 15minutes. It’s bull.
These dark December days make me tired.
He mentions 2 details of greatness to come: removing lead pipes and providing high speed internet.
So much cutting edge.
"He doesn't use the phrase "Make America Great Again," but that's his pitch."
At least Dems still have to fake it. But of course, as Andrew Cuomo explained, they really think it was never that great.
"how will it help Americans with the cost of living? That made me think about inflation, but the answer was about helping people pay for childcare and providing schooling for younger children."
Which won't raise costs at all, no way.
"Fallon praises Biden for being "classy" and "bringing class back to the office.""
See, I don't mind straight-up propaganda, and "comedians" serving their political masters as good lackeys are supposed to do, but why make the BS so obvious? I guess the real comedy is in the shoveling.
"When is it not about science but about obeying orders?"
With Dems, always.
"He's trying to reduce the cost of gas by increasing the supply using the Strategic Petroleum Reserve."
Funny stuff on a comedy show.
"He's mixing up "shoot from the hip" and "straight from the shoulder.""
If Trump said it, we'd get days worth of stupidity exegesis.
"I had the classic feminist reaction: That's not funny. They had chefs serving them breakfast, Biden told them to back off, because he's got a wife for that?"
He does. Some wives even enjoy cooking for their husbands. What's really not funny is that ancient unfeminist Dems are paraded as progressive paragons. But then, progs keep their eye on the ball. Who cares if Dr. Jill cooks eggs? As longs as Joe does their bidding, no prob.
"Again, this is bad feminism! The man just can't cook. Ha ha. So the woman must do the cooking. For decades."
At some point, even feminists will realize that Dem feminism is just for show.
President Biden will bring respect and needed dignity back to our nation.
And he lied and claimed again that Build Back Better wouldn't cost a thing if you make less than $400,000, yet the CBO came out yesterday and said the bill would raise the deficit 3 trillion dollars. So sick and tired of Progressives lying to us, and the media lapping it up like a kitten drinking milk. It's sick. It's wrong....and it is why nobody trusts Politicians, the media or anybody having anything to do with DC anymore. THEY hate us and lie to us all the time. I give you credit for actually sitting there and watching this farce. I would have been screaming at the TV, but then...I don't watch crap.
I too had the classic feminist reaction: Doesn't Joe realize his wife wants him to call her Dr. Biden, not Jill?
If Biden is classy, we are in END Times because he is anything BUT classy. What a heap of steaming bull shit that is.
More free network campaign promotions for the Democrat elite DNC Davos billionaires that probably ends up creating a net increase in republican voters.
Go Team Biden!
"If you want me to wear red pants, I'll wear red pants".
Sorry, Jimmy. Those are pajamas.
In 2021,with many of the most vulnerable already dead, with 3 vaccines, with a huge percentage of the population already vaxxed, with better treatment knowledge and options, joe Brandon has killed more people from kung flu than president trump did in a comparable period*.
He promised to stop kung flu, he has made it much worse.
What is Brandon doing? Why has he not resigned?
By the end of 2020 energy prices and US carbon dioxide emissions were low. We were not only energy independent, we were exporting energy. Not any more.
What is Brandon doing? Why has he not resigned?
I could go on, perhaps with the economy in general, foreign relations,invasion by illegal aliens and more.
What is Brandon doing? Why has he not resigned?
Instead, with no sense of shame whatever, he goes on TV.
*president trump was held personally responsible for 2020 kung flu deaths. I'm just holding Brandon to the same account.
John LGBTQBNY Henry
I don't know how sniping back at ones critics on social media is less classy than farting around royalty. (It's not their royalness that matters, it's that they are high-level representatives of their country.)
Is it classy to check your watch during a ceremony for soldiers that got killed due, in part, to your lack of planning
I'm sure there are more, but it's early and I'm barely awake.
and next week we'll have an interview with Wilbur the Talking Horse.
This all started with Bill Clinton on Arsenio Hall....entertainment show masters tongue bathing politicians. While not as crringy as the Howard Stern/Hillary circle jerk, watching Fallon swoon over such a mediocre old politico just adds to the sense that this is a nation in serious decline.
"Biden says that he and Jill grew up middle class . . . ." Ahh, but decades of corrupt deals and pay for play took care of that.
Poor, destitute Joe Biden who has only been a Senator and Vice President for 40 years just isn't used to havin' people fuss over him y'all.
Joe's stupidity shines brightly through the dementia.
There's nothing there. This is our President.
Can America withstand another 3 years of Joe Biden?
"When Jill was in graduate school, which was her whole life, it seems"
Weird.
There are two reasons why Jill might have seemed to be in graduate school "her whole life".
1. Jill took a really, really, long time to get through graduate school, implying she is lazy, or dumb, or doesn't need/want to get out of school and into real life.
2. Jill is really, really, young compared to Joe: the time Jill spent in graduate school was a large part of her life so far.
One is insulting and the other is creepy. Take you pick. Or take both because they aren't mutually exclusive.
farmgirl Nails it, when she points out...
it’s like my girls saying they can milk when they’ve only put one machine on or watched for 15minutes. It’s bull.
Or, like Jo Biden repeatedly saying that he "used to drive a semi"
Dr Jill COOKS, in exactly the same way that Jo DRIVES a semi
she was in the kitchen Once.... When it was happening
ps hey farmgirl! gilbar can milk a cow TOO! BY HAND! (i know 'cause i did one squirt when i was 7)
Again, this is bad feminism!
Yeah, but he believes in a woman's right to kill her own baby, so it's all good.
Two complete fuckheads.
the answer was about helping people pay for childcare and providing schooling for younger children
In other words, separating children from their parents so they can be better indoctrinated.
Meanwhile, what about the other 99 percent of the trillions of dollars being spent?
Did Fallon ask Biden about Hunter paying Joe's bills?
Biden is so far underwater...the media is throwing him a lifeline. Won't work. And I bet they vetted that crowd. Don't want a Let's go Brandon" chant to break out.
Biden's going to shoot you straight between the hips.
I tried to watch but it was like watching Fallon lick some sort of foam out of a plaster cast of Biden's mouth.
Thank you, Ann, for watch such bilge. I had to stop it right after Joe the moron Biden appears. Fallon is a sycophant, he couldn't debase him self any more than he did. He's attempting to dig a hole to China to please Biden and Dark Emperor Chi.
Is Biden so feeble that he has to do his appearance via video instead of in-studio? We know he has plenty of time since his handlers are doing all the work to impoverish us. Biden's slogan is Americans Impoverished for Democrat Supremacy or AIDS. He's doing a great job to fulfill that slogan.
The many charms of post-truth America ...
If you wanted to believe Trump was a huckster or a hustler, you could. With Biden, people just accept (or pretend to accept) his bullshit.
Remember all the condemnations of Nixon for being "inauthentic" and of Reagan for not living in the "real" world? Biden is a guy whose every utterance about himself is a lie or a fantasy, but no one in the mainstream media notices (or will admit to noticing).
Television as a medium resists serious, sustained analysis, but you'd think the print media could have caught on by now.
He mentions 2 details of greatness to come: removing lead pipes and providing high speed internet.
Removing lead pipes is a job for local and state government, not the Feds. Let Flint and Michigan pay for their problems, not Washington state. As to internet, that's what Elon Musk is doing with his Starlink service. I've put down my deposit and hope to have it next fall. Private enterprise, not government boondoggles.
The same people who brought us Solyndra and now loaning $500M to create a solar panel factory in India. They're also getting $3B in government loan guarantees. That's $3.5B down the drain.
Late night TV now an offical platform and propaganda arm for corruptocratic party.
Celebrate.
Did Fallon agree to fellate Hunter after the show? There's good money in that.
"Poor, destitute Joe Biden who has only been a Senator and Vice President for 40 years just isn't used to havin' people fuss over him y'all."
I'd forgotten about that. Are we to believe the Vice President's residence doesn't have cooks and servers and stuff like that. I didn't see any of that on VEEP, but it's not like they were living in a van down by the river.
Wherever Joe Biden went, son Hunter cashed in
get the lead out, baby.
Hopefully such obvious and inept propaganda will open the eyes of some Brandon supporters. But then again I’m constantly surprised at how easily brainwashed our superiors on the left are. We have come to the point where obedience to our Dear Leaders is the highest virtue. Goebbels would be proud.
I trust CNN, Maddow, MSNBC, Late night alphabet corporate TV "comedy" hosts as much as I trust Jussie Smollette.
why just a few days ago - the American Corporate Press huddled with the Biden administration to do a better job as forcing Americans to smile at dear leader.
To see this crap first thing in the morning has ruined my day.
This will be counted as a media interview by the President’s staff.
Joe can now go back to ignoring reporters’ questions.
"Biden says that he and Jill grew up middle class,"
What a great opportunity (deliberately missed) by Fallon to ask "How'd you get to be so rich?"
Howard: "More free network campaign promotions for the Democrat elite DNC Davos billionaires that probably ends up creating a net increase in republican voters."
Nobody is watching Fallon and the taping of the show was the optimum time for the chemical "support" to kick in before the late afternoon/early evening sundowning.
So it didnt move any votes, didnt convince anyone of Biden's Earpiece's capability, but Psaki can now claim Biden's Earpiece takes the "hard questions".
Poor old dope. He isn't even that good at reading his teleprompter where president Ron Klain sends his instructions.
Here is a nice example of why late night "comedians" are seeing falling ratings.
"Pausing at 5:29 — Fallon praises Biden for being 'classy' and 'bringing class back to the office.'"
1. Anyone described as "classy" isn't.
2. Biden--dim, corrupt, vicious, vulgar, empty. Fallon is an idiot.

>The story is about an interview someone did with "my daughter," who said her "daddy" couldn't do much, only boil water and cook "psghetti."
And by the way, what's with "my daughter"? Why not "our daughter"?!<
Because individuals have daughters, maybe?
Because the interview was with *him* and he was talking about his daughter, perhaps?
I don't know...just spitballin' here.
I long for a president that doesn't want to also be a celebrity.
And a public that doesn't want the US president to be a celebrity and ever present in their daily lives.
maybe "my daughter' is extreme possessive in an extreme way.
is this the daughter in shower with him?
for Biden to use /our daughter/ the shower would need to be a trois
what a sicko you have foisted on yourselves
Mencken must be stitching himself into guffaws
Democrats only care about two things, power and money.
Leading the witness.
Did Althouse go to the White House meeting this week to coordinate the Biden coverage with her compadres in the news/opinion business? She was out of pocket for awhile a few days ago, yes? I wonder because while this commentary about Biden's late night appearance isn't especially friendly, she is posting the video on her blog and that means it is going to reach more people, possibly even more than the number who would have seen it on Fallon to begin with. I mean, who actually watches any of the networks' late night tv shows anymore?
An interesting question after watching these videos. Who is the bigger doofus--Shufflin Senescent Senile Old Slow Joe--or little Jimmy Kimmel? Tough to choose.
My dad also had a "psgetti" story. Maybe everybody's dad had one.
No president in my lifetime -- maybe no president ever -- has played up the poor boy and the little guy themes in reference to himself as much as Biden has.
While I despise the POS SOB, and thought Jimmy came off as sycophantic, I get the comment about Jill being in school for so long. My wife and I feel the same way about the time I spent in school. As far as cooking, I am not surprised he cannot cook. He really is incompetent, and if you screw up cooking, it is hard to miss. Me, I cook breakfast better than my wife, and (stereotypically) grill better than she does. Other than that, I make Chinese better and yeast rolls better, and that is about all. My wife is a REALLY good cook and I just cannot compete in the kitchen. But I bet he has a hard time boiling water.
..."When Jill was in graduate school, which was her whole life, it seems," which sounds like a criticism of Jill for getting her education.
No, makes it sound like she was doing it part time or she's dumb and kept having to repeat classes. EdD's aren't usually long grad school programs, are they?
Fallon going to wear his lower back out shovelling all that bullshit.
Biden not "realizing" the White House was the "people's house" until he was president explains how he justified in his mind selling-out his office while vice president?
COULD. NOT. WATCH.
Prof has a stronger stomach than I do.
On YouTube you can find old clips of Johnny Carson, David Letterman, Conan O'Brien, Craig Ferguson and other late-night talk show hosts. These guys were funny. If they ventured in to politics it was to skewer all sides.
I doubt very much that in 20 years anyone will be watching Fallon on whatever the YouTube of tomorrow is.
Much of the essential logic and seriousness of modern feminism can be encapsulated in a single word: “herstory”.
I, for one, am kind of glad he’s staying away from the stove.
Biden seemed hesitant and sometimes a bit addled, but he never quite lost the thread. He doesn't seem to be on top of things, but, on the plus side it's not senile dementia. Nonetheless, I don't think many people will be reassured by this appearance.....Fallon looked smarmy. He was eager to offer praise and laughed too hard at Biden's jokes. Such brown-nosing didn't made Biden look good. Against such a background, Biden's efforts to sound like a regular guy come across as pompous and scripted. They both looked phoney.
Yea, Joey bidet is the same skid mark that he's always been. Now new, improved, and addled with alzhiemers. They have to tie a rope around his ankle so he doesn't wander off in the middle of the day. Christ what disgrace, as well those who support and promote this shit show.
Biden's child-care plan will raise pay for child-care workers significantly and increase regulation, driving up costs. The subsidized will be encouraged to switch from unlicensed care by family members or neighbors to subsidized care in licensed centers. Middle-class parents will pay a lot more, yet wait years for subsidies. Expanding centers to meet demand will take years too. Democrats who study this are very worried that it will backfire, increasing expectations that won't be fulfilled by the 2022 elections. (Or maybe ever.) https://bit.ly/3yj4J5R
This gets a huge laugh, but I had the classic feminist reaction: That's not funny. They had chefs serving them breakfast, Biden told them to back off, because he's got a wife for that?
What, you thought that groper Joe respects women? Why?
Howard said...
More free network campaign promotions for the Democrat elite DNC Davos billionaires that probably ends up creating a net increase in republican voters.
Go Team Biden!"
Howard we know that your were simply being cynical yet you actually hit the nail on the head.
Althouse at 5.30 am the last thing I would want to watch is Jimmy Fallon. I tried to watch the clip. Couldn't get past 38 seconds. You have amazing fortitude.
I await the book - "Joe Biden's Taint: A Review of Taste" by Jimmy Fallon.
A King has his court jester. Biden has his Jimmy Fallon.
Wondering if the corporate press will give a republican president the same platform and respect?
Unspoken is the fact that every single real infrastructure improvement of consequence will be thwarted by environmentalists, SJWs Want a new bridge? Great. Show us the environmental study of the impact on the mussels, on the potential of earthquake damage, and how many POC are on the design team at a senior level. And the suppliers of steel are appropriately diverse? Traffic impact during construction. Biden will be long dead by the completion of anything other than pot hole filling.
Out: Big Brother
In: The Big Guy
Another example of why I did watch Jay Leno but never Jimmy Falon.
Pausing at 5:29 — Fallon praises Biden for being "classy" and "bringing class back to the office."
*****
Good one.
I, too, have had many entertaining conversations with my elderly mother in law, who also suffers from dementia. She was just like Joe about a year ago. Now she can't remember my name, and calls me Doug.
From Red State:
'...Biden claimed that he no longer looked at the polls “anymore.”
Biden claimed that he was paying attention “when they were in the mid-60s, but now that they’re in the 40s, I don’t pay attention.”'
That’s a lie on both ends of it. His ratings at the start, for example with FiveThirtyEight and Gallup, were in the 50s, not the “mid-60s” and now they’ve dipped into the 30s, with the lowest being the Quinnipiac poll at 36 percent approval.
'...Fallon didn’t question Biden on what he said, he just said he “appreciated his honesty.” “You came in hot and then you got to medium and now you’re at a low,” Fallon exclaimed, saying Biden just had to “keep his head down and keep doing the right thing.”'
https://redstate.com/nick-arama/2021/12/11/biden-decries-lack-of-civility-then-attacks-gop-and-insults-americans-on-tonight-show-n489895
Yeah, Joe Biden always does the right thing.
Actually, I really don't find anything Biden said here offensive. What I find offensive is the rather obvious Lefty audience double standard. My wife makes eggs and I rotate our tires. So what. Are we supposed to be unhappy about that?
May the fleas of a thousand camels rest upon Biden's lips.
If you’d ever eaten my cooking you’d know why my wife cooks. Interestingly, both my sons like to cook and do most of the cooking in their marriages.
I didn't know they were allowed to show fellatio on television.
These breakdowns of an interview or speech are my favorite Althouse posts:)
This is an interview the same as every other "interview" on late night TV. The script comes from Waiting for Entertainment:
ACT I
Host feeds a cue.
Guest talks about whatever he is selling.
Host replies empathetically & randomly laughs.
ACT II+
Same.
Director's Note: If Entertainment wanders onto the stage, Host must immediately break for a commercial.
~~ FIN ~~
Lead pipes? He’s talking about removing lead pipes from water supply lines? Already done. Theoretically. AFAIK there is no municipal or private water supplier who admits to having lead supply lines anywhere in their system. They’re occasionally found- and come as a complete surprise since all of them were previously identified and removed… About a decade ago while still working in a big box had a customer call and ask what we had to repair a lead water supply pipe. In an upscale suburban type town. I told her she needed to get off the phone with me and call her water department or a plumber. Her husband had apparently broken the supply line. She insisted we must have something. Asked her to go to her husband and verify it was a supply line and it was actually lead and not galvanized iron. She came back saying it was lead and a supply line. I reiterated she had to call a plumber or her water department. And she hung up. Told the manager to expect a complaint call and why. Did we have stuff that could repair a lead supply line? Absolutely. We’re we give anyone any advice on how to do that? Absolutely not. Liability is just way too high.
It had been over 5 years since that town had proudly announced the final removal of their last lead supply line.
No town, village, city, state, has any fully accurate map of underground utilities. NYC reportedly still has wooden supply pipes. Part of the reason far more water is pumped into the city than accounted for in billing.
Cubanbob: the democrats have the same problems that llr Republicans have vis a vis the money train smokefilled backroom under the table dirty dealing. They shitcanned Bernie then bought him off. Everyone the Dems have in the pipeline are Stepford factory models on remote control. The mediatainment complex is the glue keeping the illusion of strength and structure. Jimmy is playing Ellsworth Monkton Toohey.
Wondering if the corporate press will give a republican president the same platform and respect?
We already know the answer to that. After 4 years of the Resistance and "Hate has no place here" bumper stickers, the answer is NO. The audiences would have sh*tted bricks and trashed the studio if Trump had ever hobnobbed with Fallon, etc.
"My daughter" and "seemed like forever" are the sort of phrases you can read a lot into without coming to any proven conclusion. That's why psychoanalyzing politicians one hasn't met came to be frowned upon -- well, at least until Trump came on the scene.
It's not hard to understand the lure of wanting to get at the deeper layers of Biden's psyche based on chance utterances. The obvious conclusion would be that he, like so many other politicians, is narcissistic, but the comments aren't enough evidence to base a conclusion on. I'd look more at the obvious deceptions in what Joe said.
Fallon praises Biden for being "classy" and "bringing class back to the office."
I don’t watch late night TV; would Fallon know what class was if it jumped up and squirted ketchup in his ear?
… because, I admit, “classy” is not a word I tend to associate with Joe Biden.
@ Professora : and others who watched it
since from the description of the scenery and setting -
I gather that Biden and Fallon did not simultaneously occupy same local co-ordinate space -
Q : how confident are you that the two were conversing in the same local time continuum
as for comparison / example - Biden and Putin had to video talk at each other and that could not be reaction shots - though only opening shots were shown to the world
WE do not need a real president who cares about the people. We just need propaganda from ultra wealthy multi-million dollar paid late night TV game show hosts.
Why did Joe need his cheat sheet cue cards to go on a late night show?? https://twitter.com/KyleMartinsen_/status/1469537736092753923
Where are the people on the left calling Jimmy’s mouth Biden’s cockholster?
Look--"his" daughter is the one talking about inappropriate daddy/daughter showers in her diary. How much clearer could it be? It is hiding in plain sight, folks.
Call the Department of Children and Family Services--and the cops. This hair-sniffing bastard needs to be put where he can never harm another little girl.
I'd have been more impressed if Fallon had responded, "Hey, are you still showering with your daughter--man?"

how many people believe this was live interaction interview?
Fallon does not seem to be acting naturally at all.
So that is all Biden has left? Fallon?
Don't they have to disclose this as a campaign or political contribution - it was just fluffiness.
If you want to look at how journalists should question leaders, watch Downing Street press conferences re Covid
