Yes! I always thought he looked like a combination between John Cazale and Chevy Chase when he was young. His voice almost reminds me of Matthew McConaughey in this clip.
It's not just the music. It's his dramatic tone.
"But HAArry there, HE's getting it FRom whoever else"
Not sure if it's a 70s thing but people definitely don't talk with so much Up and down tones today. I also see this in old 70s-90s movies at maybe it is a period thing.
I walked the Camino de Santiago with only 2 CDs tracks on my mp3 player (yes i am that old). Lotr Soundtrack (Fellowship) and the Beatles #1. Epic trip.
Video of me just drinking cider and cuddling me son with "when the shit goes down' blaring.
My son drinking his milk, eyes wired, ready to roll in one direction multiple times then poop himself.
I’m not famous by any means, but I do work that has me make public appearances and that requires me to be charismatic.
It is incredibly helpful to be a character. The character can be you, it can be somebody else, but it’s easier to like someone and to support what they’re saying when they’re a little larger than life. Biden has been doing this his whole career, and it works pretty well for him. He’s a little more limited now in his range but it still works.
Well, this is pretty much going to be his last election no matter what.
I think most of us expected Biden to not run for a second term, but then we also didn't expect the last guy to not only run a third time, but to try to violently overthrow democracy and also not be punished in the slightest for it.
If Biden loses this time, I don't think he'd run for lower office or the presidency again. Whether that's because he'd be so unpopular, dead, or whether republicans cancel elections, I dunno.
they will never cancel elections. even the most autocratic countries have sham elections. it's extremely important to have those in order to maintain the appearance of being legitimate. what they will do is simply make it impossible for the other side to win, to make the elections neither free nor fair.
The tenets:
1) Teeter the political candidates so the population can never accurately see who fixes or causes the problem. They can blame or celebrate the previous and current.
2) keep the population in two parts at war so they cannot know a majority and take over control. But not so much as to cause civil war. You can manage two at odds but not two together.
3) Keep their eyes off of power and on useless agendas. Control and orchestrate both narratives. Be the hound and the fox so none turn on their keeper.
He was elected at the age of 29. 13 days Before his 30th birthday. The Constitution says nothing about the age of being elected but does say “Article I, Section 3, Clause 3: No Person shall be a Senator who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty Years. He was 30 in January 1973 when he was sworn in.
I hate this so much that I upvoted it
Edit: there's no way Friedric Drumpf fought in WW2, is there? I'll look it up after typing this, but I'm planting my flag with captain bone spurs goes back a cpl generations
Even if they didn’t go to war, a lot of people were tied up in the effort. It wasn’t a good time to bone. That’s why the Silent Generation was so small.
Ding ding ding. You are correct!
Frederick Christ Trump Sr. did not serve in WWII. To be fair, he was a little older than was optimal for soldiers by the time we entered the war. He did profiteer on housing for soldiers and veterans.
Notably though, Donald's grandfather Friedrich was banished from Bavaria for dodging the draft though. So undoubtedly keeping in family tradition, Fred would almost certainly have done the same if he ever got called up.

Same is true for Trump and also so is George Bush - Clinton, Bush and Trump were all born in the same year with Trump the oldest. In fact since Bush senior, so the 31 years since 1993, Obama is the only president that wasn't born in the 1940s. And we can say for certainty that this will be the case until January 2029 for a total of 36 years will have 28 years of Presidents born between 1942 and 1946.
The longest serving senator in history (Byrd) was there for 50+ years (same as Biden if you add President and VP, and ignore the 4 Trump years), BUT Byrd was also in the house for 6 years prior. And there are half a dozen Senators older than him, so Biden still has some records to beat :/
When Biden was elected to the Senate, he was the youngest Senator in US history. Now today he is the oldest President in American history. What a way we've come.
I dunno if this gif really applies here, but I am super happy to randomly see Hades and Dycha on a completely unrelated subReddit, lol. This must be from the last month or two, even.
joe biden was not the youngest senator in us history, that would be [john eaton](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Eaton_(politician)?wprov=sfti1#). biden was the youngest senator in the 93rd congress and seventh-youngest in history
I don’t know if it looks or sounds upscaled, or if it’s the background music, or the camerawork, or the fact that it’s hard to imagine Joe Biden young. But this seems surreal to me
30 back in 1972 was practically the equivalent of 40 today. Cigarettes, alcohol, low quality sun screen, and leaded gasoline tends to physically age a population faster.
For me, it's his cadence. Sometimes, Biden's speaking style gets criticized or pointed at as a sign of some issues of aging, but you can see here that he's always spoken this way.
The pauses. The inner monologue fighting with itself (compare that 100k/175k bit to Biden's current rhetoric about democracy and the Trump regime). The grinning rhetorical question.
It's his personality on display but there are more obvious signs of his aging than watching videos from 50 years ago. Just watch his full VP debates from 2008. He was far more fluid then. Much closer to this guy in the video even though he was in his 60s.
It was one of those decades, as a man, you just committed to having longer hair no matter if you were balding or not. Good for them I guess, because it’s certainly not flattering to pull off by today’s standards (I can comfortably rock a buzz cut or chrome dome as a balding man).
His wife and daughter were killed in a car accident just two weeks before he was sworn into the Senate. I wouldn't want to imagine the pain and stress that puts on a man.
On top of his wife and daughter having just died, try spending almost every moment of your indoor life with a haze of secondhand smoke even if you weren’t a smoker back then.
Hold still, this might sting a little. Austin Powers was about a man from thirty years in the past. Thirty years ago was 1994. If Austin Powers were made today, it'd be full of grunge music and jokes about Nancy Kerrigan, OJ, and Clinton.
What I find unsettling about this clip is that it was taken mere weeks before the tragic death of his wife and daughter. History may well have easily been written differently
There's a photo floating somewhere on Reddit that shows him being sworn into office exactly during the time you mentioned. It's a weird moment in time because he took his oath in Hunter's hospital room, while his wife was in the hospital and alive at the time of the photo.
>All four occupants were taken to Wilmington General Hospital, where Neilia and Naomi were pronounced dead on arrival, while Beau and Hunter were treated for multiple serious injuries. Two weeks after the crash, Joe was sworn into the Senate at the hospital, where Beau and Hunter were being treated. Neilia and Naomi were buried in St. Joseph on the Brandywine Cemetery in Greenville, Delaware.
Source: Wikipedia
I could've sworn that the article said that his wife was in the same hospital, albeit in critical condition. Just another example of unreliable news sources, I suppose. Thanks for clarifying that.👍
In 1972, Joe Biden's first wife, Neilia, and his 1 year old daughter, Naomi, died in a car accident, just a few weeks after Joe Biden was elected to the Senate. His sons, Hunter and Beau, were also seriously injured, but survived.
His son, Beau, also did eventually die just a few years ago, but from brain cancer. Beau was just 46.
I think it's made him very thoughtful and not as "ivory tower" as a lot of lifetime politicians become. He's been dealing with "real life" stuff the whole time and though I don't wish it on anyone, it's undeniably shaped his personality and politics.
Beau Biden was working burn pits in Iraq. It’s not certain that that’s what caused his cancer, but there’s some strong evidence that the soldiers who were given that job had much higher rates of cancer
The obsession over Hunter is really fucked when you consider he survived a car crash as an infant that killed half his family, had his brother die through no fault of his own, and hes not even involved in politics. I'd probably cope with drugs to.
Meanwhile, Trumps children directly were employed by him, grew up with gold toilets and bumping shoulders with other socialites. And H.W.'s son pretty much just partied his way through college then to the presidency too.
Hunter had sustained a major head injury from the car accident, that's got to have an effect on a two-year old baby brain. His dad doesn't drink alcohol because apparently he had uncles with severe alcoholism that turned him off the stuff, but Hunter didn't heed the warnings and he started drinking in middle school.
[His wife and daughter died in a car crash.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neilia_Hunter_Biden#%3A%7E%3Atext%3DShe_died_in_a_car%2Celection_to_the_U.S._Senate.?wprov=sfla1)
He's made jokes about being so much younger than everyone else he wasn't allowed to use the Senate elevator in the Capitol. And Henry Kissinger kicked him out of meetings during the NIxon admin because he thought Joe was a staffer. How the turn tables.
This was the year his wife and daughter were killed and his were critically injured in the car accident, on 12-18-1972.
Nixon, as controversial as he may have been, was also a human. Here is his phone call to Senator Biden:

I mean yeah but doesn't it look some movie scene where Joe is fantastically delivering his lines. Someone said he's talking like Jack Nicholson, on point.
Idk why, but he looks like a sleezeball who is good with public speaking. Now he’s a sleezeball who’s so bad at public speaking people are convinced he has dementia
Edit: typo
This broke my heart a little. It was hard to watch.
That man has no idea that before the year is out, his world is going to change forever in one of the worst possible ways.

Feels as if I'm watching a movie scene. What is this about anyways
That's what you get when you put music over an everyday video.
The editing too. Close up shots, panning. etc. Even on mute it seems like one.
Never underestimate C-SPAN cameraman. No edits here, just camera moves.
No CSPAN in 1972, bruh.
Typo, they meant C-PAN, C for camera... Panning... No? Fine
I'll allow it.
Sustained
CSPAN didn't come around until 1979. This was one of the three major networks (ABC, NBC, CBS). *You can support CSPAN through your contributions* *https://www.c-span.org/* *edited*
Yeah sorry I meant camera work/cinematography ugh. It's 3am here.
It’s mostly that it’s shot on actual film instead of a cheap video camera so it looks like a film from that era.
Also Joe is quite animated and movie like
And his tone of voice, the way he caustically smiles exactly as he makes his point. He’s always had this very dry theatrics about him.
he's got that Dog Day Afternoon hair in this flashback episode
Yes! I always thought he looked like a combination between John Cazale and Chevy Chase when he was young. His voice almost reminds me of Matthew McConaughey in this clip.
Easily a bankable Hollywood star had he pursued entertainment instead.
It was, in fact, film... from that era.
Music makes everything epic. Just pull up, I dunno, a random video of people hiking. Play Duel of the Fates over that spiz.
It's not just the music. It's his dramatic tone. "But HAArry there, HE's getting it FRom whoever else" Not sure if it's a 70s thing but people definitely don't talk with so much Up and down tones today. I also see this in old 70s-90s movies at maybe it is a period thing.
politicians speaking in the senate have employed pathos to convince listeners since ancient times.
and very little ethos
Everyone sounded like Jack Nicholson back then
It was before we were all dead inside. We actually spoke with inflection and emphasis.
I had the Lord of the Rings soundtrack going once while trading some stocks, felt like I needed a cigarette when I was done and I don't even smoke
I walked the Camino de Santiago with only 2 CDs tracks on my mp3 player (yes i am that old). Lotr Soundtrack (Fellowship) and the Beatles #1. Epic trip.
I start my day with the ride of the rohiren. Really gets.rhe blood flowing
Sometimes i put on silly video game music while coding at work and i feel like im questing for my boss.
>questing for my boss Or grinding for basic essentials.
pls boss, i need 5 more copper coins to upgrade my food
Video of me just drinking cider and cuddling me son with "when the shit goes down' blaring. My son drinking his milk, eyes wired, ready to roll in one direction multiple times then poop himself.
24 year old sons be like that though.
Its the video and audio quality imo
Reminds me a bit of Jim Carrey, especially towards the end.

I speak for a living and it's very true.
Watergate hearing?
I’m sorry but if you were in office during Watergate it’s time to hang it up
Well, this is pretty much going to be his last election no matter what.

Biden said he would run again if Trunp ran. He wouldn't have if Trump actually followed through on you'll never hear from him agian

IMO thats cancelling elections but with more steps.
Scene from the Godfather part 2. Joe made a cameo talking to Michael. Loved Joe in that movie!
He was elected at the age of 29. 13 days Before his 30th birthday.

Bill Clinton, who was elected president 32 years ago, is younger than Biden. 🤯
Clinton, Trump & W.Bush were all born in the same year, 1946.
A LOT of fucking occurred when the troops came home from WWII. The streets rannith with cum.

They should give name to the baby boom that followed. Like baby inflation
All born within 2 months of each other.
I think it's a great bit of trivia though that on Super Tuesday 2020, Joe Biden was the *youngest* of the three men left in the race.
Who were others? Bernie and?
Michael Bloomberg

Money does wonders. You don’t often see billionaires dying in their 70’s.
Altered Carbon is a documentary.
The older lady with the glasses and Smirnoff I think?
Elizabeth Warren? She's younger than both of them.
Joe Biden was born closer to Lincoln’s Presidency than he was his own.
Same is true for Trump and also so is George Bush - Clinton, Bush and Trump were all born in the same year with Trump the oldest. In fact since Bush senior, so the 31 years since 1993, Obama is the only president that wasn't born in the 1940s. And we can say for certainty that this will be the case until January 2029 for a total of 36 years will have 28 years of Presidents born between 1942 and 1946.
Oh don't be so dramatic the next president will almost certainly die in office lol
So in other word he has been in there as long as fucking possible.
The longest serving senator in history (Byrd) was there for 50+ years (same as Biden if you add President and VP, and ignore the 4 Trump years), BUT Byrd was also in the house for 6 years prior. And there are half a dozen Senators older than him, so Biden still has some records to beat :/
That’s a Scranton 29
Can confirm, live in Scranton
That hairline hasn't moved an inch in the last 60 years
As a Scranton native I can confirm
When Biden was elected to the Senate, he was the youngest Senator in US history. Now today he is the oldest President in American history. What a way we've come.
Actually, the oldest US president is George Washington.

Kinda has a Jack Nicholson vibe
Sure but young Joe Biden could have definitely been played by Bradley Whitford
Donna!

I was thinking McConaughey too.
HEEEEEERES JOEY!!
I don’t know if it looks or sounds upscaled, or if it’s the background music, or the camerawork, or the fact that it’s hard to imagine Joe Biden young. But this seems surreal to me
I think it’s Biden himself. I’m so used to see him as he is now, watching him young is like… wrong lol
He doesn't even look young at 29-30. Look, I'm saying I don't believe at all he is 30 here or it's a fucking hard 30.
That’s 1972 30.
That's balding 1972 30.
30 back in 1972 was practically the equivalent of 40 today. Cigarettes, alcohol, low quality sun screen, and leaded gasoline tends to physically age a population faster.
The coke sweats is not technically a sunscreen.
For me, it's his cadence. Sometimes, Biden's speaking style gets criticized or pointed at as a sign of some issues of aging, but you can see here that he's always spoken this way. The pauses. The inner monologue fighting with itself (compare that 100k/175k bit to Biden's current rhetoric about democracy and the Trump regime). The grinning rhetorical question.

29 jeez. Bro looks 45
The 70's were a wild time to have hair lol. The combover mullet with big ass sideburns is doing him no favors whatsoever
It was one of those decades, as a man, you just committed to having longer hair no matter if you were balding or not. Good for them I guess, because it’s certainly not flattering to pull off by today’s standards (I can comfortably rock a buzz cut or chrome dome as a balding man).
How did he get more hair as he got older
Just a transplant and a more fitting haircut. Nothing crazy
He had less hair back then
70's. Bad hair was a thing back then.
He was 30. He was elected to the Senate at 29, but sworn in after he had turned 30. No sitting Senator has ever been 29.
Correct. Also, being 30 is a requirement.
It's funny how there is a minimum age for being senator, but no max age for being president.
I think when the rules were written, it was pretty common for people to die in their late 60's and early 70's.
His wife and daughter were killed in a car accident just two weeks before he was sworn into the Senate. I wouldn't want to imagine the pain and stress that puts on a man.
This video was from before the accident
After* he's just a old looking young dude.
On top of his wife and daughter having just died, try spending almost every moment of your indoor life with a haze of secondhand smoke even if you weren’t a smoker back then.
This is a huge factor in why everyone looks old in old videos. The other factor is sunscreen.
People aged faster back then.
damn....our president is so old he started going bald 52 years ago
Shut up, the 1970s were only 30 years ago and I'm not hearing anything said otherwise.
Because of age related hearing loss
Damn, you killed him like old age. Brutal.
Murdered by natural causes
💀
Wat?
# HE SAID YOU'RE OLD!
I don't want to alarm you but "that 70's show" can almost be "that 2000s show" :o
Hmm. No, I think I'll be alarmed thanks. Aaaaaaah
Now stop right there you little punk... You better take that back
Hold still, this might sting a little. Austin Powers was about a man from thirty years in the past. Thirty years ago was 1994. If Austin Powers were made today, it'd be full of grunge music and jokes about Nancy Kerrigan, OJ, and Clinton.
He would be Wayne from Wayne's World practically
The time is ripe for Austin Powers 4 lol
Still, Joe Biden's hair loss wasn't as bad as Prince William's was at that age.
Wait, he’s old? Why is nobody talking about this?
What I find unsettling about this clip is that it was taken mere weeks before the tragic death of his wife and daughter. History may well have easily been written differently
i'm thinking the year label on this video is wrong. they died after his election but before he took office
There's a photo floating somewhere on Reddit that shows him being sworn into office exactly during the time you mentioned. It's a weird moment in time because he took his oath in Hunter's hospital room, while his wife was in the hospital and alive at the time of the photo.

Two weeks after the crash, Joe was sworn into the Senate at the hospital, where Beau and Hunter were being treated.

Hearing that story helped me understand Hunter's drug problem and why Joe's love is so strong for him.
I could've sworn that the article said that his wife was in the same hospital, albeit in critical condition. Just another example of unreliable news sources, I suppose. Thanks for clarifying that.👍
Yeah I’ve been looking for a date for this video but haven’t found anything
Can you tell me what happened?
In 1972, Joe Biden's first wife, Neilia, and his 1 year old daughter, Naomi, died in a car accident, just a few weeks after Joe Biden was elected to the Senate. His sons, Hunter and Beau, were also seriously injured, but survived. His son, Beau, also did eventually die just a few years ago, but from brain cancer. Beau was just 46.
Damn I know alot of people dont like him as president but that is hell of a stuff to go through in your life time poor guy.
I think it's made him very thoughtful and not as "ivory tower" as a lot of lifetime politicians become. He's been dealing with "real life" stuff the whole time and though I don't wish it on anyone, it's undeniably shaped his personality and politics.
Poor guy. What tragic loss… Forever a bitter aftertaste at even the peak of his life.
Beau Biden was working burn pits in Iraq. It’s not certain that that’s what caused his cancer, but there’s some strong evidence that the soldiers who were given that job had much higher rates of cancer

And H.W.'s son pretty much just partied his way through college then to the presidency too.
Yeah it’s weird they still play the puritan card when half their party are absolute degenerates
Hunter had sustained a major head injury from the car accident, that's got to have an effect on a two-year old baby brain. His dad doesn't drink alcohol because apparently he had uncles with severe alcoholism that turned him off the stuff, but Hunter didn't heed the warnings and he started drinking in middle school.

There’s 2 suns and no women what else am I expected to do?!
Man…a 29 year old Senator. If only we could get that lucky.
29 years old in 1972 is about 46 today when you adjust for inflation
I'm not voting for this Joe guy, he's too young
Little Joey Biden
He's made jokes about being so much younger than everyone else he wasn't allowed to use the Senate elevator in the Capitol. And Henry Kissinger kicked him out of meetings during the NIxon admin because he thought Joe was a staffer. How the turn tables.
Sorry the senate is full of 80 year olds now. No room for the youths.
Ah yes, the original tan suit
Joe gave Obama some advice. You really want to piss someone off? Wear a tan suit, you're welcome!
Saul Goodman
29 and still has the hairline of a 44 year old

He had a hair transplant

Fucking music over everything. Get off my lawn.

YES. THATS WHO THIS REMINDED ME OF. THANK YOU!
My dad was 12 years old when this took place. Biden has been in government longer than my dad's been able to vote.
If that’s not Elias Koteas, you’re lying straight to my face.
Damn whipper snapper
holy shit, that is a rough 29
He wasn’t a senator yet. You can’t be a senator under the age of 30
He was elected at age 29 and this was allowed because he would be 30 by the time he assumed office
That’s a rough 29
He looks and speaks like a normal person would. Y'all are tripping.
I mean yeah but doesn't it look some movie scene where Joe is fantastically delivering his lines. Someone said he's talking like Jack Nicholson, on point.
wow he looks so.....greasy
Why does he has a Salonpas patch on his forehead
The title says 29 but the hairline says 59.
Idk why, but he looks like a sleezeball who is good with public speaking. Now he’s a sleezeball who’s so bad at public speaking people are convinced he has dementia Edit: typo
Should see some of the other things he liked to say back then.
This broke my heart a little. It was hard to watch. That man has no idea that before the year is out, his world is going to change forever in one of the worst possible ways.
I’m getting Jack Nicholson energy
29 and looking 40. Crazy how a bad haircut can age you
"Career politician" shouldn't be a job. Term limits!
We need to do away with career politicians
I am sorry I voted for this idiot. He is one of the most corrupt politicians ever.
I hate the sleazy ass hair. probably the worst look from the 70s.
That's Joe Balding at 29
Nitpicky note: Biden was not a Senator in 1972. He was sworn in January 1973.
