State of the Union Aired March 10, 2024 - 09:00 ET THIS IS A RUSH TRANSCRIPT. THIS COPY MAY NOT BE IN ITS FINAL FORM AND MAY BE UPDATED. [09:00:47] … (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) BIDEN: Look, I'm not a young guy. That's no secret. But here's the deal. I understand how to get things done for the American people. I'm Joe Biden, and I approve this message. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Can we do one more take? BIDEN: Look, I'm very young, energetic, and handsome. What am I doing this for? (LAUGHTER) (END VIDEO CLIP) TAPPER: All right, so a little humor, trying to turn it -- look, and the debate here today was about policy and substance and disagreements. And I'm sure not everybody agrees that everybody else is accurate with what they're saying, but it's a substantive debate. We're not talking about whether or not he's a feeble old man. Do you think he put it to rest, that issue? BROWN: No. JENNINGS: No. BROWN: Eighty-six percent of the American people think he's too old. Six out of 10 of his 2020 voters think he's too old, and the people are very smart around this country. And they are going to look -- because he's not going to be in D.C. for the next eight months. He's going to be out in the road, and they're going to look at everything he says and does, the missteps, the falls, the fumbling and bumbling, and it's going to be a real problem. ALLISON: I think it's good that he talks about his age and hits it head on. You have a candidate that's running against him that's four years younger that mistakes who's the president, calls people names. I think he will be fine if he gets out there and tells the American people what he stands for. JENNINGS: I think this ad is putting mayonnaise on a crap sandwich. I mean, I like mayonnaise, but it's not going to change the sandwich. TAPPER: Last word? BEDINGFIELD: That was a great ad, because it's also letting Joe Biden be Joe Biden. The humor, just taking it on directly, that is a good thing. That is a good look for him. He should do that for the rest of this campaign. TAPPER: All right, thanks. Go get some naps. (LAUGHTER) (CROSSTALK) BROWN: Going to hit the gym. TAPPER: All right, go hit the gym for Scott Brown. Everyone else, get some naps. (LAUGHTER) TAPPER: We will be right back. (COMMERCIAL BREAK) [09:55:49] TAPPER: What might rising tensions between China and Taiwan mean for the United States? Tonight, Fareed Zakaria presents "TAIWAN: UNFINISHED BUSINESS" at 8:00 p.m. Thank you for spending your Sunday morning with us. I will see you tomorrow on "THE LEAD." Fareed picks it up next.
