--->'''John:''' [[SarcasmMode Whoa, careful there, Joe. What if Bibi hears you? Nothing shames the guy comfortable with bombing hospitals and refugee camps like knowing that 6,000 miles away, an 81-year-old is muttering PG-13 words under his breath?]] What’s next? Is Biden going to whisper "what a dick" into a seashell and toss it into the ocean? And Biden’s reportedly said worse, which American TV danced around, but Arabic-language Al Jazeera delivered the quote in full. We’re not going to translate this for you, but you’ll know the phrase when you hear it.

--->'''TV Journalist:''' (''from news footage'') Part of what the president is saying, according to people who’ve heard him make these comments, is that Net — Netanyahu is, quote, "giving him hell", that he’s impossible to deal with. We’re also told on three, at least three instances, the president referred to Netanyahu as an a-hole.

--->'''John:''' Yeah, Biden apparently called Netanyahu "a bad fucking guy". And look, you should be allowed to say that about Netanyahu uncensored on American TV. Because I guarantee, it’s coming out of the mouths of Gazans and families of the hostages nonstop right now.
