And the guy gets up, and I mean, I don't know if he's being ill-intentioned on, all I know is the guy says he gets up and he says, he basically says, look, Joe, you know, I'm not a fan of like what happened with Ukraine, and he says, you know, I'm worried about your health as a person. I don't know, I'm a th. I'm a th. I'm a thi, I'm a thi, I'm a little, I'm a little, I'm a little, I'm a little, I'm a little, I'm a little, I'm a little, I'm a little, I'm a little, I'm a little, I'm a little, I'm a little, I'm a little, I'm a little, I'm a little, I'm a little, I'm a little, I'm a little, I'm a little, I'm a little, I'm a little, I'm a little, I'm a little, I'm a little, I'm a little, I'm a little, I'm a little, I'm a little, I'm a little, I'm a little, I'm a little, I'm a little, I'm a little, I'm a little, I'm a little, I'm a little, I'm a little, I'm a little, I'm a little, I'm a little, I'm a little, I'm a little, I'm a little, I'm a little, I'm a little, I'm a little, I'm a little bit, I'm a little bit, I'm a little bit, I'm a little bit, I'm a little bit, I'm a little bit, I'm a little bit, I'm a little, I'm a little, I'm a little, health as a person. I don't know if you fit enough to be president. He says, and also, I'm a little concerned about what happened with your son in Ukraine. You gave him a position there to make him money. And the guy doesn't have his fact straight, you know, granted, but he says that.

And then Joe Biden, I thought he was just going to be like, well, that's not bad look now. No, instead, Joe Biden stops him, and then he comes up, and then he's like, you want to talk about fitness? And then he's like, do you want to do push-ups right now? Do you want to do push-ups? Do you want to run? We can do it.

He's like, we can do it right now. that he's speaking to is slightly heavier set than Joe, right? So now this is looking really bad in the video. And it also doesn't help that in the video, there's like kids in the background. And like all the older people in the picture are just like doing this, but all the kids in the back are like, oh, so they're making it worse. So they're making it worse. He says to the guy, he says, you know, he's like, that didn't happen and what if. And then he sits to the guy, he's like, you're a liar.

You're a liar. And it's like, maybe the guy doesn't name his facts right, but he's like, you'd want to argue with me and you're a liar. And the guy's like, no, I saw it onbysi. he's like, you's like, you's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he's, he, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, like, he's, like, like, like, like, he's, like, he's, like, like, he's, like, he's, he's, like, he's, he's, he's, he's, he people are now arguing about it But then he says he says something something something something and then he's like Listen here fat I'm This sir and then he goes Yeah, and then like and then like and this is like and I don't know I don't know what happened I don't even slip with the time it could have been that thing like

you know the thing that happens in like Austin Powers you know you like fighting someone and it was just like mole mole mole mole mole molly moly molly molly moll don't say mole don't say mole don't say mole they the same I don't know what's So yeah, it was not, it was genuinely not a good look at all. I don't know what's going to happen in this race. It's so, like, it feels like in this race, if every candidate didn't speak, everyone would have been better. And I mean, every, including Trump, if Trump never spoke, if the Democrats, I think like, the thing would like get further along with less drama. Just, shh, everyone, shh. Just who wants to be president? Okay, okay,

okay, you want to be here? Okay, all right, let's move forward. That's it. that's it. that's it. At the debate, you're all right? All right, all right, move on.

Joe Biden does this every time. Him and Trump just love this thing. I don't know if it's like a thing that happens to older men they always want to prove themselves. Like it's the grandpa thing, like my grandfather would take the car, it was my mom's car, and he was supposed to go to the store and come back. And then he would drive away for like six hours, and then he would come back and then like the whole day we didn't have a car. And then my mom would say to me, then my mom would say,

tell you the kays and then he's like, tell you their to to their their their their their the kids from me master." Then I'd be like, but mom said I must take the keys. Then he's like, do you want to see who's a man? Do you want to see it? Then I'm like, where did this come? I did not challenge you to a fight. I did not. It's just like a thing that older men, they always want to prove. You want to go? Comedy Central and the Comedy Central app. Watch full episodes and videos at the Daily Show.com.
