He was the youngest senator at one point? Jesus, he's been around a while
since about 50 years ago in the Senate...when Nixon was President.
IKR 😂😂
Imagine if the Democrats had nominated Teddy Kennedy for president in 2008 instead of Obama. That's what Biden 2020 is like.
And look at all the great things he's accomplished, like... Uh... Hmm... Stop and frisk? No? Hmm.
America First Productions trump is only 3 years younger
Whenever I watch anything from the 70s, even 80s, I'm astonished at how intelligently everyone spoke and how civilized they were. We are truly living in Idiocracy these days.
People also looked older
watch idocracy 2006
Go watch the 1960s Presidential Debate between Kennedy and Nixon. It's like 60 years of education and professionalism have been flushed down the toilet.
I agree 100 percent.
We're living in a flat out idiosyncrasy
I wish modern political discussion was like this. Fast-paced, honest, intelligent and about real matters.
“Don’t you see that the whole aim of Newspeak is to narrow the range of thought? In the end we shall make thoughtcrime literally impossible, because there will be no words in which to express it.“
Blain trump for that the man can never let anyone else speak ..
Its only Identity poletics now
It wasn't meant to entertain but to inform...
Debates like these don't exist anymore. Man we used to be so class.
What???? An informative, critical, and carefully moderated debate?
Where has this gone???
Out the window my friend
Fox News was launched in 1996.
@@Scarsofevil LOL, true enough, which is way more than I can say for fox!
Thanks to the yelling left
@@crewrangergaming9582 Eh maybe if Conservatives debated other fully grown adults apposed to going and speaking at universities all the time then that may happen a lot less often.
We have regressed so much as a society - everything about this debate is light years ahead of anything you could expect to see on TV these days
Keep in mind this by itself doesn't reflect all of society. I think this shows the degradation of our politics and what citizens will put up with now, but in other ways we have progressed as a society as well. I definitely wouldn't choose to live in the 70s again if I had the choice.
It’s because the media is a business. The media used to be a public resource but when it was deregulated it became subject to market forces and therefor appealed to the lowest common denominator.
The Media has taken us back.
Yup, all we have now are shallow sound bites and slogans to please each sides ego. No deep though and intellect is required since the lowest common denominator is greater than the divisor.
OK........SURE.
Corporate sponsors: "Come back when you're 40, son."
80-Year-Old Biden: *"My time has come."*
@Glenn Everett What surprise? Is Trump going to try to buy the presidency back from Biden with the $200,000,000 he's scammed from his gullible supporters like you? Tough luck because I think he'll find that Biden isn't for sale. Like Greenland wasn't for sale either. ;-p

Still, trump's corrupt ass beats him to them so he had to look for other ways to win, (mostly famous stars and low income people)

@Free When politics become a goal, not a purpose, then it's scary.
Better late than never
@@hristiyanhristov2480 it can be a two bird one stone situation. A goal to reach and it has a purpose and responsibility.
Wow, he actually talks coherently. How times have changed.
It’s called getting old your memory goes to shit
he was sharp and witty
It's terrifying realism that it could happen to any of us.
I just came here to verify that "lifelong stutter" he doesn't have.
Yeah where's his stutter
Imagine watching a debate where they talk about actual issues instead of taking as many cheap shots at one another as possible
It's extremely frustrating. It's not much better in the UK during "question time". They just ignore what question and recite their scripted hit piece, back and forth. They literally do not listen to each other, just take turns being twats.
Imagine if he spoke like this today!
I didn't hear him call anyone a "Lyin' Dog Faced Pony Soldier" back then.
I'd vote for 29 year old Biden. Not voting this year unfortunetly.
@pura vida lol
Drugs are bad mmmkay
He would be losing even faster... you know, the thing...
I notice he never said cmon man in any of this
I actually was offended that not only did he not say, "C'mon MaaN", but he took it even further and didn't even mention Cornpop or that Joe had hairy legs.
He wasn't after the black vote back then.

@@1024det More flip flopping from the Grand Flopper.
Biden stutters throughout this piece. It's controlled stuttering, though, so you might miss it if you didn't know what controlled stuttering sounds like. He uses mostly fluency-enhancing techniques, but there are some avoidance behaviors he uses to evade blocks in his speech. For example, you can hear and see:
• gentle onsets of phonations
• rate adjustments to maintain fluency, which come across like they sound a bit scripted
• awkwardly-placed pauses followed by gentle onsets of voicing and light articulatory contacts. See:
1:32: There are a few examples here.
2:56: Listen for "no [pause] mean feat."
3:47: Listen for the pause before the "hard c" sound in "...of [pause] continuing."
10:37: Listen for another pause before a "hard c" in "support [pause] Congressman."
• mid-stream switches of his sentence construction to evade blocks and continue with phrasing that sounds more fluent. See his statement starting at about 8:52.
• awkward sentence construction, likely said to evade an anticipated stuttering block. 4:54 is a good example.
• the insertion of filler words and phrases to maintain phonation but that don't add content.
1:32: See the addition of "I think."
8:32: See the addition of "as you point out."
Watch for multiple insertions of the phrase "in fact" into his statements.
• there are some mild secondary characteristics, such as unusual eye blinks and looking at the floor when he blocks.
2:56: Watch for the head drop and eye blink where he switches from "300 dollars" to 300 thousand dollars."
4:26: See what he does with his mouth and the fluttering he does with his eyes when he says the "f" in "further broaden the participation."
You might miss it if you didn't know what controlled stuttering sounds like. To hear it better, compare the onsets of Biden's voicing with the onsets of the people questioning him. The beginnings of Biden's voicings are ever-so-slightly extended. That's called a "gentle onset" and it's a technique you learn in speech therapy, although Biden has said that he's never had formal speech therapy, which is common.
Mo
re recently, he's been using avoidance techniques more extensively. Stuttering doesn't just sound like th-th-this. There is covert stuttering in which speakers ahead and try to evade upcoming blocks by substituting words or changing up phrases, and what comes out can sometimes sound like word salad. Biden's been doing that a lot. That's why he substitutes alternatives for the words "Trump", "Obama", and "Romney". It's not that he forgets the words, it's that he's evading stuttering on them.

That was very interesting, thank you for your insight
forget the questions you deserve an award for this comment. 👏👏👏
You're my new favorite person. I hear it too, because my son had/has a stutter. He's an adult in his 30s now, but as his mother I see and hear how he gets through it. With the pauses, the pacing, the slowing of the conversation (I'm a fast talker, so when he does that, I just chill & "check my phone" while he gathers his thoughts, changes the word, uses his body language. My son will even sometimes suddenly decides he needs a drink of water right then, or change the subject and come back to what we were talking about before eventually, but when he's ready. I took 2 years of Speech Language Pathology courses during my 30s, (I'm now 50), hoping to become an SLP (pathologist) myself one day, but it didn't work out. I'm now raising a 4 y/o grandson who also stutters (not my son's son - and my father stuttered as a child, so it can be heredetary). Thank you so much for your post!!!
Also, my son will give a short answer, and if you didn't know him, you'd think that was it - but we know he's not done yet, because the conversation at hand wouldn't make sense to end at that. Then he comes back in after making sure we are all done talking so he can proceed uninterrupted, and he does fine then. Biden uses pauses to set his cadence and his smile to buy that fraction of time to find the words he'll have the least amount of trouble with. I'm just so offended that he's gone through this kind of assumption and discrimination about his intelligence (as my son has, as my grandson will, as my father did) AGAIN, on top of all he's already gone through.
Thanks.

It was clearly a joke you dense lard
You should not assume anyone is not corrupt
he's exceptionally well spoken like very few people are in this video, it's crazy to imagine how much he's degraded mentally since then
And how much he seems to have degraded morally, too.
hes too old
He hasn’t degraded. Lol he may have aged and has slowed down, but he is still there
@@ChadMello I do not think he has degraded. He was already ready to prostitute himself then (his words in clear text in this very interview).

I think Matthew McConaughey could play him well also. Jack Nicholson is great too.
Andy coughman
no i would say freddie highmore is definitely fit for the role
The atmosphere at that time was very calm and constructive
Politicians were very homogenous back then and they were able to strike backroom deals and have gentlemanly disagreements. While it is good that pretty much everyone over 18 has a political voice these days, that also creates a cacophony of voices that ensures nothing can really get done.
@@marcvslicinivscrassvs7536 thats not true at all

Wow, his late son looked exactly like him.
That first thing Biden said is right. That's one problem I have with the 17th Amendment, because it forced senators to actually run a campaign.
I found it. You have to go back 50 years when he was a very different person, but I do agree with Biden on something.
His hairline has been struggling for over 50years
@@rustyshackleford4046 calling him a sissy is a bit harsh he should be able to do whatever he wants with his hair. Unfortunately a bald man has never ben elected president since Eisenhower so he might not have got so far in his political career if he went full bald.
I was gonna like but I gotta leave it 69🤣
LMAO well that is no suprise. Look how grey Obama was after the first 4 years
He has a big head. He looked older there too. I think he’s a clone now.
No president can hold a light to Reagan’s fabulous hairline. Reagan truly had an enviable head of hair.
That crack about Joe Biden being the youngest senator and therefore likely to have the longest career... I don’t if that qualifies as irony or prophecy... but it’s spot on nonetheless 😁
From youngest Senator to oldest President 😁
Joey learned early that politicians can be corrupt and not have to worry about being charged with anything.
Man this is jarring to see Biden here and then see him now. WOW
Seems like elder abuse to get him to run at the age of 78.
I don't think Trump will be that good at 78.Not even sure he will last that long looking at his weight
@★ Froggie Animation ★ he doesn't now either. That's just Trumpsters believing what he says. Yes Biden has gaffes and once in a while his stuttering comes across but big deal. Trump can't even walk down a ramp or drink water with one hand....or asks if we can inject bleach to kill Covid....lol
What ever watch him at the Clarence Thomas hearings this person has always been a d!
Seriously I can’t believe it’s him , I’m starting to think he really does have dementia which is sad despite anything
@@mnews2270 I mean I guess he has some mild cognitive decline, but that's common for people his age; the whole "Biden has Alzheimers" thing is just...it really holds no water. He's 78. If he got diagnosed with Alzheimer's even just two years ago, he would not be able to do or say the things he says and does now. Sure he might not have deteriorated entirely, but my grandfather had Alzheimer's and he died in March at 88. He got it in his mid 80's (we think). People confuse his gaffes and slight stutter for Alzheimer's, which is more offensive to people with Alzheimer's than anything.
It’s crazy to think Joe Biden was very articulate at one point in his life
It is amazing to see Joe Biden when he was alive
Very racist as well
He still is, he always had a stuttering problem whose intensity has increased with his old age.
@@magnusthered5994 "he still is" bro do you hear yourself? Have you literally not watched any random 10 minutes of any non-scripted joe biden? Obviously you haven't or you're a dishonest person.
Rydal S As I said he has a stuttering problem which has increased with age but still he has a pretty nice vocabulary and is capable of conveying his thoughts. Even in a gaffe heavy speech he’s able to clarify most of what he intends to say
I don't have an issue with Joe himself, but the fact that the same people in power before my mom was born are still in power today is a bit concerning
I feel like this Biden is a different Biden than the one we got.
Yeah, no shit.
Felt that this Biden was more straightforward and honest. Feels like being in DC, his soul has been sucked out him.
Yeah he was very sharp back than and was well aware of his surroundings
@@jedite7503 that happens to almost everyone in D.C... Don't be surprised when 40 years down the line AOC is just as corrupted. That's why people respect Bernie so much. After all these years he hasn't sacrificed any of his values. You can look at a speech from decades ago and he sounds the same.
That's because they are different people. Check for images of old vs new Biden. Look at earlobes for example, the old had detached, while the new has attached. Just one case of the shadow government replacing actors aka politicians.
This is an amazing format. Can you imagine if Mitch McConnell, Lindsay Graham, Nancy Pelosi and whole boatload of national politicians regularly sat in the witness stand and got seriously challenged for the things they say?
Nothing would likely happen, Graham/Pelosi would adapt to those formats, also, this format displayed here, did not prevent any corruption back then, it looked and sounded nicer, but it was no more effective at preventing back alley deals
Now Biden thinks he's too good to answer questions to the reporters now this wicked arrogant want to be dictator doesn't think he has to debate y'all better start raising your voices against the way Biden is running because it's going to hurt you too you better believe that even if you call yourself a Democrat Biden would have no problem throwing you in jail and still in your money that's how evil he is

Trying to pull the victim card since way back.
Well that's the cold hard truth of the times he was in. He is literally arguing for legislation that would make it easier for POC, women, and young people to run for office 50 fucking years ago. He's obviously not saying the system that sees him as a token is a good thing. He really laid it plain out there for others to see, the issues he is arguing against are ones that have only gotten worse today, leading to more systematic inequality against all poor, but especially POC.

I don't think he's the best guy we could get, I do think he's a bit backwards for his views, but all the negatives I could have against him are at least a few degrees turned down from trump, and some genuine positives are there too.

You can still kinda notice him covering the stutter if you look closely, his speech is very deliberate to try to cover up the stutter.
Crazy how in this video he’s literally telling on himself , explaining in great detail the corruption he’s involved with today.
I think you're missing the point, it's a broader institutional problem - the issue of campaign financing is a systemic problem. If you rule that the first amendment applies not merely to the act of free expression itself, but to the expenditures as well, then you also directly create a situation where the means to freedom of expression are not equal and we are therefore at the mercy of those who control the means of production. The more money you have, the more you control the dissemination of speech. The result is that you usually have no choice but to go through corporate sponsors if one is to successfully campaign, and this process affects our entire political system. Most politicians accept contributions that come from corporations in some form or another, but it goes beyond that - many point to research that suggests campaign contributions from corporations don't seem to have a significant impact on the outcome of elections or the voting patterns of elected officials, but post-election lobbying often does. I think the issue here is that there is people are under the illusion that the integrity of our governing body and the interests of corporate entities were ever separate in the first place. Since the industrial revolution and the start of the 20th century, we have witnessed the expansion in power and resources of both the federal government and various private industrial sectors, and the thing is that business interests are irreparably intertwined in the decision-making process of our government. It's not that corporations are usually donating to further their interests, but merely maintain the status quo. The issue is the lack of political equity - the only people that usually have a significant voice in the process are those that control the means of production, and so they usually control the conversation from the very beginning. It isn't just in campaign financing and post-election lobbying, the average individual is largely removed from the political process at numerous levels - we're often given the illusion of political representation but are deprived of it in reality. The fact of the matter is that any politician seeking election to a public office must implicitly play by certain rules, and these usually mean necessarily playing into the interests of corporate entities. It's impossible to avoid given the influence of large businesses in the United States - we are a country with a disproportionate reverence for private property woven into our constitution. The reality we face, however, is that if we want a truly democratic society, we must necessarily change the very foundation of our political system. I think that greater campaign-finance reform would improve political equity, but it's only a scratch on the surface in reality. What we need is to systematically remove the influence of corporations and create a system that goes beyond merely establishing a level playing field, but actively works to maximize the input of all citizens in the democratic process, not merely in electoral politics.

“I’m not sure you should assume I’m not corrupt…”
Oh Joe there you go again.
No dementia excuses back then.
Who's here when he is now the president
Well, he’s president elect until 45 eventually decides to concede. Which I don’t think 45’ll concede anytime soon because he thinks the election was rigged against him lmao

3:40 Nice to see Joe's long time friend Jesus in the audience there to support him!😁
Lol!! 1970s jesus
*Jesus
Jesus was smoking a lot of weed and listening to Pink Floyd in the 70s
I like how literally every man in the 70s had long hair and sideburns but then decided to cut their hair in the 80s. Just goes to show how massively influential the counterculture movement of the 60s was.
@dayum son ha, ha! Charlie was sitting on death row at San Quentin back in '74. Jesus, however, is omnipresent.😇😉
Really nice to see Biden being so well-spoken and charismatic. It’s really sad what’s happened now, he should be relaxing where he enjoys.
On top of having dementia, I think the death of his son was really hard on him.
@@franktranks9445 -- He seems to have lost a step when he speaks publicly, but that's an observable fact. How could you possibly claim he has dementia? I doubt you're privy to his medical history.
@@trekkiejunk He was diagnosed. But I still voted for him.
@@franktranks9445 when?
@@trekkiejunk I agree.
He starts his speech out with, "I'm not sure you should assume that I'm not corrupt..."
good for him... that is a phrase no politician would dare to say today
I would love an actual debate between Trump in his prime (say early nineties era) versus this Biden.
Down the hall and to the left
Trump would get smoked.
Lol, dude, if THIS Biden was around today, he'd probably be considered a Republican.
It’s weird to see Joe Biden as a man 5 years younger than me.
@Justin Case Have you seen the pictures of even younger Biden though? People are crushing on those photos of young Biden.

The story of JoJo's life.
First thing he says, "I'm not sure you should assume I'm not corrupt but thank you." I've heard all that I need
It's something called a joke
@@JacobSnell1998 what a hilarious joke. Was he joking when he said he put together the biggest voter fraud organization in American history? Was he joking when he said if you don't vote for him you ain't black? Was he joking when he said he threatened to withhold aid to Ukraine if they don't fire the attorney general that was investigating his son's business? Was he joking when he plagiarized a british politicians speech. Was he joking when he lied about his college credentials during his first presidential run in the 80s? Was he joking when he said he was going to ban fracking, then said he wasn't, then said he was? C'mon man.
@@alexandermendez4653 I don't know where you all get your degree of hostility, but I suppose you're angry at something, though I never did anything to you. Anyway, the first claim is just an outright lie - there's not verified source that provides any credible claim that the President has any connection to any "voter fraud organization" at all. In regards to that Breakfast Club speech where he said "you ain't black" - it was certainly an appropriation of black slang and just bad optics, but at least he actually will put forward policies to reduce poverty rates for blacks and minorities, improving their education opportunities, and undoing housing segregation in the country. In regards to the Ukraine claim that has been determined to be false on several occasions and USA Today does one of their really helpful and detailed fact checks on it (see here: www.google.com/amp/s/amp.usatoday.com/amp/5991434002 ).
Whereas, Trump really did leverage aid to Ukraine in his phone call with the new President, in order to have them investigate Biden (this is illegal in both the Ukraine and here at home).
In regards to his plagiarism of Kinnock, plagiarism is a big deal (it can even be criminal) and he ended up dropping out over the scandal of that. I don't believe it was with I'll will or malice. He also spoke in speeches and used the words of other politicians, whom he admired, Neil Kinnock was one of these men, next to Hubert Humphrey and John Kennedy, but using people's words and thoughts without crediting them is not right.
I also don't defend that exchange with the guy where he claimed he had a "higher IQ than you" or said he graduated with honors. Let's just agree his 1988 Campaign was a disaster all together.
He's never put forward a plan to fully eliminate fracking. He has called for reductions in fracking and where it can be done, but not ever to ban fracking. A full fact check can be found here: www.google.com/amp/s/amp.usatoday.com/amp/4315441001
These seem like non-sequiturs anyhow, but facts and verified claims are really important. If we don't have a set of agreed upon facts and statistics, we will never be able to come to consensus on issues.
@@JacobSnell1998 I'm not being hostile and the first thing is not a lie. I saw and heard him say it. Don't call me a liar son. I'm definitely not reading you're five paragraph essay either. But let me guess, I've been fed misinformation by radical right wing internet groups, blah blah blah. I see things and I remember them, google censors things, but they stay in my mind.
@@alexandermendez4653 Don't call me son- it's age discrimination and a form of degradation based on my youth. Just as it would be rude for me to call you a hurtful name mocking older people, I ask you don't do the same with those who are young. And in that regard I seem to have more emotional maturity than you.
In reference to my response, until you can provide verified evidence defending your claims (i.e. CNN, CBS, ABC, NBC, etc. - not OAN, Newsmax, InfoWars, etc.). The truth matters.
I love how this guy was the youngest Senator and oldest president in his life
I wonder when he started to sniff hair.
Nobody should though he's a career corrupt politician and running average Americans into the poor house
"You either die a hero, or live long enough to become the villain."
"You either die sane, or live long enough to have dementia."

He was never a hero.
@@rbellamy804 😂😂😂😂
Come on man! When was I ever a hero? I've been in politics for 47 years?? What have I done?
"The question is how long is the American public going to put up with a small group of men and organizations determining the political process by deciding who can run and who can't run."
The answer is a pretty long damn time, apparently.
Also, it's refreshing how blunt Biden can be in this interview. Throwing around phrases like "prostituting himself" and "token black". Phrases that aren't offensive in and of themselves but that kind of have an offensive feel to them, and would trigger a huge Twitter backlash in 2019.
Well, I felt that same twinge that you feel when you watch Mickey Rooney in breakfast at tiffinay’s Or a John Hughes movie. I don’t want to see that anymore.
Agreed. We are all scrambling around while big business interests decide our futures. :( So how to we get the merry go round to stop?
You really don't understand what you're describing if you think people would have a problem with "prostitute myself". People have a problem with denigration through words, not blunt/edgy language. You'd have a point if he'd used a phrase like; "nigger in the woodpile".
@OldSchool "young people like myself who know the truth about everything"
Boy I remember those days.
"Token black" was actually quite offensive back then, in and of itself. Biden was speaking to a group of people who weren't particularly bothered by it, but I can guarantee you that black people didn't like that one bit. I was old enough in 1974 to remember.
"I'm not sure you should assume I'm

As someone who is libertarian and can't stand biden today, I greatly respect the view and honesty he had back then
His honestly in this was refreshing.
He was very well spoken as well.
He called attention to a lot of problems too..
To bad none if it was ever fixed in his 49 years...smh
What’s the difference? I’m sure he still supports campaign finance reform nowadays
@@MMGJ10 actually lots of it was fixed, but then it was broken by decisions like Buckley v Valeo (soon after this interview, I imagine) and Citizens United. We used to have a consensus around campaign finance regulation in this country until the moneyed interests were able to convince the Supreme Court that the First Amendment includes the right to spend a billion dollars on a political campaign.

Don’t fall for the clip arts, focus on the message

Imagine Biden in 2020 taking a random question.
I literally can't imagine it.
Sebastian exactly
Lol
“C’mon man!”
He does it all the time--you don't pay attention.
Great example of a guy who realized the system is corrupt and took advantage of it his whole life.
And yet here he is advocating for campaign finance reform in order to limit the external influence on political elections and giving some compelling arguments for why it should be instituted. The underlying issue here is political equity - ensuring an unbiased and democratic process. That said, I think it's a small change to a system which is fundamentally flawed in its very foundation and has dramatic room for drastic improvement. Biden isn't anything more than another cog in the machine, but he's one that has tried to make certain changes to the structure where he can, though they've largely been inadequate. He isn't some deviously corrupt manipulator as you all like to believe he is (at least no more than pretty much any other politician), he's just a moderate neoliberal that tried to be pragmatic, but while I can appreciate his effort, what we need more than anything is substantive change on a dramatic level.
True that!
Thank God by the from the get-go that people know he was corrupt but I didn't let people know he was willing to be corrupt for a dollar for support that's how this evil grifter has been in government so long and sadly that's why he's calling himself president
Without the system setup to reward corruption by it would not be rich he would not have gotten bed with 30 governments throughout the world this man is just straight-up vile man God help anyone who supported the wicked Man
Furthermore y'all need to turn the Jesus Christ and bag Jesus for forgiveness for supporting this wicked weasel

"Hi. I'm Joe Biden. Did you know that you have rights? The Constitution says you do. And so do I."
what happened between the 70s and 2016 for such a regression of social discourse to happen? dumb people now have a voice? the tendency of making everything an entertainment (so commercialization of social discourse)? what the hell happened?
It's a great question. There certainly has been a noticeable "dumbing down" of public discourse. Although, you can still find highly intellectual lectures, debates, and discussions on RUclips, sometimes with millions of views.

He isn’t going to change jack shit dude
Yeah, I really dont get that. What did he do for this time if he talks about change now? And I also think there should be term limits in every western country for any government position.

What did he change? He certainly allowed 9 million illegals into this country and got us involved in 2 proxy wars. Change for the worse.
