Body Language of President Biden’s Interview with Seth Meyers February 2024


President Biden’s Interview with Seth Meyers February 2024

Here is the video clip https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fxuN3i84FNY

My talking points for my TV interview on NewNation are in rough form there 

1)      President Biden's Funny comic timing

When Seth teased and said he had classified information and told Biden “You're currently 81 years old.” You see Biden’s comic timing. Biden turns quickly with strength and a playful lift in his voice, “Who the hell told you that” he smiles and pauses for the laugh smile then adds that’s classified and smiles and laughs looking straight at Seth, he shows he loves what Biden did by lifting up and out of his chair towards the president and you see them they share a moment of delight. 

And he continues to smile and joke about the other guy who can’t even remember his wife’s name.  He hits on the words wife’s name like a true comic.

2)      Time code 4:14 The idea that the president/Trump is inviting Vladimir Putin, Notice how he orients his body to the audience to give the message to them he raises his hands then strikes down as he says this showing his desire to slice that request away. Also, notice his face as he says this and how bizarre it is. His face shows his dissonance. On one side of his face his eye is shut tight and twisted to the side and one side of his is twisted up and closed.

3)       This next is scary to me because he says it and how he says it.

“I’ve known every major foreign leader…these leaders longest time... They are scared to death for what it means to them… scared to death if we walk away. In forensic linguistic analysis, he uses strong terms SCARED TO DEATH, and repeats it to emphasize it. That is not a wishy-washy statement and he says it with a strong voice and reaches out with cupped hands to Seth to emphasize he needs to hold things together then at 4:35 we get a flash of sadness and withheld tears, notice this crumbling chin and protruding lower lip and the folds between his brows. This is an intense reveal of how bad this is for the world.

 

4.)  6:40 or so Twice during the interview he talks about Trump’s behavior and then when he realizes he rants on jokes “I don’t want to get started” with a comic delivery.

5) As he talks about Israel and Palestine… Notice how his hand raises open cupped palms down and pats gently downward .. “You also have to have an opportunity to have peace and security” This reveals his desire to calm down or hold down the intense( raised hand rather than low) conflict. It reveals both how big the conflict in the world is and also that he feels he must and can pat it down.  He keeps his hands there for a moment revealing that it’s a long process, and he has to keep patting it down.  We could go on and talk about it.


Video of President Biden with Seth Meyers in an ice cream parlor.

President Biden is leaning on the counter with a singular focus, we know he loves ice cream, but it creates a “Gotcha” moment because eating ice cream a joyful, silly body language and an ice cream cone stuck in his hand and he is being asked about a ceasefire in Gaza. And though he subdues his smile and answers in a calm confident voice His body language automatically doesn’t match the seriousness of the question.
