We've written before about Biden responding to reporters on Air Force One coming back from Israel. 

In addition to Biden's problematic answers, I also noted the face of Secretary of State Antony Blinken. You could see the cringing when Biden said that Hamas needs to learn how to "shoot straight," suggesting terrorists should get better at shooting innocent Israelis and Americans. Blinken was sitting over Biden's shoulder like a hawk, and you can see he was having a rough time of it, wanting to stop him. 

But now there's another angle out of that gaggle that shows it was even worse. Not only does it show Blinken, but it also shows how much White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre and National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby were freaking out about Biden continuing to speak. 

This video of KJP trying to stop Biden, him snapping at her, and Kirby pleading with Blinken appearing to say "stop" it has gone viral. There's narration as someone describes what is happening. 

Warning for graphic language. 

Did Kirby say “Please stop it” ? pic.twitter.com/rF6Ngarxkq

It's real. Here's the longer version of the Fox Alert, and that's even worse. It runs just under seven minutes, and you can see it starts with KJP shaking her head at Blinken trying to get this stopped. 

In this video you can also see more clearly how KJP tries to step in and stop it, saying, "We gotta wrap up, guys." But Biden stops her, snapping at her, "Don't."  That's followed by Kirby pleading "stop" to Blinken at about 1:40 on the video. 

You can see Blinken cringing about the "learn how to shoot straight" comment at 6:11. 

The whole thing is bizarre when Biden says -- in talking about the Gaza aid -- if you have the opportunity to alleviate the pain, you should do it. He's more focused on the pain of people who hate us, who are suffering because of the evil attack by their leaders. 

Kirby kept exchanging looks with Blinken. Kirby's reaction to "Biden's claim that there was "no pushback" as to his position on the aid makes me think there was pushback. Also, Biden made contradictory claims. "No pushback" and "virtually none" are not the same thing. 

At about 5 minutes in, Biden takes a shot at Jim Jordan when asked about his predicament, saying, "I ache for him" but then says he has no view. That's the "unifier" showing up again. 

It's pretty funny to see how desperate they are, with Kirby particularly freaking out. You might feel sorry for these folks with how hard their job must be, dealing with Joe Biden. 

But It's also extremely troubling. They're all responsible for putting the U.S. and the world at great risk by the folly of having Biden there, occupying the seat of power. They know how bad it is; you can see it in their eyes and all over their faces. They could stop this. If they had any shame, they'd quit and reveal all. But they don't, and that's why we're in this predicament. 

Former Acting Director of National Intelligence Ric Grenell had a great question: Would any of the reporters ask Kirby why he was trying to get Blinken to stop Biden from speaking? 

Yes, he did.

Will any White House reporter ask John Kirby why he asked the Secretary of State to stop the President from freely speaking?! @PeterAlexander @JamesRosenTV @marykbruce https://t.co/CpBRWkC93W
