Imagine the Joe Biden of that press conference faced with a real international crisis.
Breaking down Biden's first press conference.
The event occurred on the 65th day of Biden's presidency.
Critics of the Biden administration have called on officials to make Biden available to the press on a regular basis. White House press secretary Jen Psaki holds daily briefings.
It took 65 days, but we finally got a press conference from President Joe Biden... And it really made you appreciate the phrase "be careful what you wish for."

The obvious observation right off the bat was that Biden is in obvious cognitive decline. Aside from his usual inability to string together a sentence without losing his train of thought, here are some other observations stuck out:
Biden gets through first news conference -- with help from 'cheat sheets'
Sean Hannity was quoted as saying this about it:
"Our enemies are watching. This is embarrassing," the host said on "Hannity." "Have you ever seen an American president rely on a book of cheat sheets before? To answer a simple question at a press conference? It is pathetic. It’s embarrassing. And let's be clear here, the compliant media mob wasn't exactly throwing Joe any tough curveballs. They were incredibly polite and kind."
Though Biden was fully dependent on cue cards for many of his answers, often reading directly off them. Doesn't that defeat the purpose of a press conference?
President Biden referenced "cheat sheets" detailing key policy points and the identities of attending journalists when he conducted the first formal news conference of his presidency.
Photos showed Biden holding a card labeled "infrastructure," with key statistics and talking points. One bullet point noted that "China spends 3 times more on infrastructure than the U.S."
In another photo, Biden was seen consulting a sheet that appeared to show the photos and news outlets of journalists who attended the news conference. Some of the photos had a circled number next to the reporters' faces.
He had a print-out of report's names with their photos, and a pre-determined order in which he would call on them.
Biden took questions from just 10 reporters
He took ZERO questions from conservative outlets, probably good for Biden since Fox News' Peter Doocy had a 'binder full of questions' for Biden if called on a news conference.
Just 25 reporters were permitted to attend. Biden took a limited number of questions from a list of pre-selected reporters before leaving the podium. He answered questions related to the ongoing crisis at the southern border, his view on calls to end the filibuster, and other topics. Among other remarks, the president said he intends to run for reelection in 2024. The Reporters fail to ask Biden about COVID, reopening schools, Boulder shooting, Russia at the first news conference
But what concerned me most was the cocktail of lies and bad policy that came out of Biden's mouth:
1. The Border Crisis: Biden lied through his teeth about the border crisis; downplaying it while also blaming former President Trump.
Biden claimed that "the vast majority" of families who come to the border are turned away. In reality, that number is just 13%.
Biden claimed Trump turned children away at the border and "let them starve to death." That's also a lie. Under Trump children who were turned away were flown back to their country of origin.
2. China: Biden painted a rosy picture of his relationship with Chinese President Xi, saying he spent "more time with Xi Jinping than any world leader." [through decades in the Senate + 8 years as V.P.] Biden claimed he told Xi in January that "we’ll insist that China play by the international rules, fair competition, fair practices, fair trade."
The problem is: Biden is the one who created the situation that allowed China to violate international rules, fair competition, and so on. Every consequential policy decision that led to China’s rise was underwritten by Joe Biden in the Senate and then as vice president.
3. The Filibuster: Biden took the mask off on repealing the filibuster in the Senate. Right now, the only thing stopping Democrats from doing what they want legislatively is the fact that they need 60 votes in the Senate because of the filibuster rule.
Biden said, "With regard to the filibuster, I believe we should go back to a position of the filibuster that existed just when I came to the United States Senate 120 years ago."
First, laughed at him saying 120 years ago
Second, he is openly saying he wants to change the rule
4. Green New Deal: Biden talked a lot about wanting to spend a couple of trillion dollars on an infrastructure deal. But while he was using the word "infrastructure" he really meant "Green New Deal".
The big tell was when he was talking about the jobs that would be created by an infrastructure deal. “We can’t build back to what they used to be... Global warming has already done significant damage.”
I predict that a big chunk of his infrastructure spending is going to go to spending items that were in AOC's Green New Deal.
I know he’s a feeble man who’s fun to make fun of, but we better start taking this guy seriously. Because while we’re laughing at him, he and the Democrats are plotting to change this country forever.
President Joe Biden’s first press conference was memorable mostly for what didn’t happen: no questions about the pandemic and no gaffes.
“His aides and allies are relieved that he got through this one hour without any huge slip-ups,”
Of the 10 reporters called on by President JOE BIDEN during his first presidential press conference, five of them asked about immigration in one way or another. And three of them asked about the filibuster
Number of questions on 2024: 2
“There were more political questions than I would have imagined,”
Neither President BARACK OBAMA nor President DONALD TRUMP was asked about their reelection plans during their first press conferences, even though Trump had filed the paperwork to run weeks earlier.
Number of questions about the Covid-19 pandemic: 0
Baer said he found the lack of questions about a pandemic that has killed at least 545,000 Americans unusual. So too did other former White House communications directors.
Length of Biden’s press conference: 62 minutes
That’s slightly longer than Obama’s first press conference, which lasted just under an hour, but shorter than Trump’s first solo press conference, which went on for an hour and 17 minutes.
Number of Fox News reporters Biden called on 0
Fox was the only major network Biden didn’t call on. He also skipped The New York Times, Reuters, NPR, and POLITICO.
Number of major gaffes: 0
Biden appeared to lose his train of thought at one point, but he didn’t come close to living up to his gaffe machine reputation.
“It was a good day for President Biden”
