Biden's first speech flops: Gaffes and a suspicious noise go VIRAL
After Donald Trump’s inauguration, Joe Biden disappeared from the scene for a while. Most assumed he would bow out of politics completely and spend his days puttering around his Rehoboth Beach retreat.
But apparently he’s still got a little gas left in the tank — literally.
On April 15 at the 2025 national Conference of Advocates, Counselors, and Representatives for the Disabled in Chicago, Biden delivered his first speech since leaving the White House. In it, he defended Social Security, condemned President Trump for making cuts to the program, and claimed the damage to Social Security is “breathtaking.”
But that’s not all he did. Rick Burgess of “The Rick Burgess Show” plays the most cringeworthy clips from the speech.
The blundering began immediately. Before his walk-out song was finished playing, Biden launched into his speech. The video shows him yammering away while the music completely drowns out his voice.
“He's not just saying, ‘Hey, good to be here.’ He goes into the speech,” laughs Rick.
“Completely oblivious,” sighs Greg Burgess.
Once the music was cut and people could actually hear him, Biden told a story about Scranton, Pennsylvania, claiming that when he was a child, he’d “never seen hardly any black people in Scranton” but that changed in the fourth grade when he saw “colored kids on a bus.”
Rick suspects that this story was not on the teleprompter.
Biden went on to stumble through a few lines about the Americans with Disabilities Act before the most embarrassing moment perhaps in his career happened.
Mid-speech, a noise that can only be described as a farting sound suddenly rang out over the microphone. There are a lot of theories about it. Some claim a chair scooting off camera was responsible for the sound; others believe a troll added the noise before circulating the video; and then there are those who believe that Biden indeed farted during his speech.
The panel watches several versions of the clip, including the one aired by ABC News, and the sound is almost undeniable.
Regardless of the truth, Rick, Greg, and Calvin Wilburn can’t help but howl in laughter.
“I tried a little cheek sneak there and it had a little more volume than I thought,” Rick mocks.

Sleepy Joe’s reaction to Kamala Harris’ latest word salad is PRICELESS
Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have many things in common, the most notable being their mutual desire to implode the nation.
But they’re also on par when it comes to the art of rhetoric. Both are laughably inarticulate – she’s a master of word salads, while he’s adept at confusing everyone with his incoherent, slurred speech.
A perfect union.
At a recent roundtable meeting with President Biden, Al Sharpton, and other civil rights leaders, the VP delivered (or shall we say attempted to deliver) a speech about the Jacksonville shooting.
Per usual, her delivery was a hot mess.
“Our country was founded on many noble principles, including ‘e pluribus unum’ – out of many, one,” she begins, “and to live up to those ideals, I think at this moment in time requires moral clarity on behalf of every American about what is at stake right now.”
“The vast majority of us have so much more in common than what separates us, yet there are those who are intentionally trying to divide us as a nation,” she continues.
“Yeah, two of them are sitting right there at that table,” interjects Pat Gray.
“I believe each of us has a duty – a duty to not allow factions to sever our unity,” she drones, adding that “our diversity is our strength, and our unity is our power as a nation.”
If that gibberish wasn’t ironic, hypocritical, and ridiculous enough, just wait, because while Kamala blathers on and on about the threat to the unity of the country, Sleepy Joe is putting on his own show. Although we’re pretty sure he doesn’t even know it.
Pat plays the video again but this time zeroes in on the president, who looks like he just woke up after months of hibernation.
Not only is his mouth hanging open, but he also seems to be randomly flipping through the pages of his binder (at a glacial pace, of course).
“I think he realizes halfway through her speaking – ‘oh, you’re talking?”’ Keith points out.
“Close your mouth, Joe,” Pat says.
