Remember when the White House blocked the release of audio from President Joe Biden’s interview with a special counsel about his handling of classified documents, arguing that Republicans in Congress only wanted the recordings “to chop them up” and use them for political purposes.?
Now you can listen to his slurred incoherent voice yourself, as he trails off into awkward pauses and beings talking about unrelated topics, unaware of the original question! Listen as he doesn't know when his son died, and as he fails to formulate basic sentences, forgetting what he just said and asks what he was talking about, then starts trailing off talking about train rides and then forgets he was even talking again!
You can even hear is attorney ask if he needs a pudding break!

This is how that part of the interview is recounted in the transcript: Biden says, "OK, yeah. In 2017, Beau had passed and — this is personal — the genesis of the book and the title Promise Me, Dad, was a — I know you're all close with your sons and daughters, but Beau was like my right arm and Hunt was my left."

But here's what it sounded like in the quiet room where the dead air between Biden's pauses is emphasized by the tick-tock of the clock:
"Okay, yeah … "

"... Beau had passed and …"
Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock. Tick.
