In September 2023, the video became a viral that captured the President of the United States at the moment when he allegedly got lost in the building of the Congress. We checked whether this video is true.

The distributed video shows Joe Biden and a certain woman. “We are in the Capitol building, and you go in the wrong direction. Go out on the other side of the building, as we showed you on the map, ”she supposedly whispers in the ear to the American president. It is alleged that this is urgent briefing from the service of the protection of the head of state. On September 14, this video with a comment “Biden went in a wrong way in the building where he worked for 40 years” (a politician really 36 years was a senator From the state of Delaware. - approx. Ed.) Published in Telegram channels "Live broadcast"(703,000 views at the time of writing this analysis),"Truthfulness"(211 000),"Putin in Telegram"(182 000) and Voblya (149,000), as well as a TV presenter Ruslan Ostashko (118 000). According to the TGSTAT service, the total coverage of such posts exceeded 3 million views. The video also enclosed on the English -language Internet, becoming popular in Tiktok And X (Twitter).

Common video

Subtitles for the video are generally true, with the exception of errors in using the word capital (capital) instead of capitol (Capitol), how faithful and their translation into Russian in popular posts. However, the movements of the woman’s lips from the video are filled with audio. They correspond to several labelized (labial) vowel sounds in a row. There are only four such sounds in the audio road (in the words of You, Going, Wrong and of), and all of them do not coincide with the movements of the woman’s lips. This suggests that audio is not original.

English -speaking users X (Twitter) discovered The original video on the website of the C-SPAN cable channel broadcasting the materials of the US government, and on its official YouTube channel. This record is part live broadcast Biden's appeals "On the situation in the country"(State of the Union, an analogue of the President’s message to the Federal Assembly in Russia), made at a joint meeting of Congress in Capitol on February 7, 2023.

The broadcast continued after the completion of the speech of the American president, and the informal part of the event fell into the frame. On Original sound video Due to the noise and conversations of others, in principle, it is not heard that a woman whispers in her ear. The answer of the politician is also quite difficult to disassemble, except for the phrase “PEOPLE Will Get Angry. They Feel Like They're Being Used (“People get angry. They feel that they are being used”), but already from this fragment it is clear that it was not at all about the disorientation of the American leader in space. This is also proved by the next 10 seconds of the video, during which the woman several times clearly repeats “So True” (“True”) and adds: “Anything I Can Do To Help Support that, I Will” (“I will do everything I can support”). Then Biden communicates with the security service and tells one of the guards to take the telephone number of the woman who spoke to him.

Thus, the video is falsified: the original record made more than six months ago is properly, and the new audio road is imposed on top to compromise Biden. This is far from the first time that a policy is attributed to a senile dementia. Previously, “verified” was analyzed that the US president supposedly allegedly allotment veteran medal backwards or Turned To the invisible listeners asking not to jump. These stories were also fabricated.
