<p>President Joe Biden increasingly stops mid-sentence to start over with a new thought, correct himself, or go on a tangent, at a rate twice as frequent as when he was Vice President, according to a Daily Wire analysis of official White House transcripts.</p>
<p>The man who assumed the presidency in January 2021 was not the same speaker who left the vice presidency in January 2017, the analysis of thousands of speeches across 11 years showed. And the man who bumbled through remarks in recent months was not the same one who assumed the presidency just three years ago.</p>
<p>The president’s difficulties keeping his train of thought or speaking clearly are reliably reflected in official transcripts by em dashes, like <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/speeches-remarks/2022/08/26/remarks-by-president-biden-at-a-reception-for-the-democratic-national-committee-3/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">this</a>:<span class="Apple-converted-space"> &#8220;</span><i>I sat down &#8212; and we were in Great Britain, in England &#8212; and I sat down, and I was sitting between as he used to go, &#8216;Boris!&#8217; The former prime minister was an interesting guy. And &#8212; (laughter) &#8212; no, he&#8217;s not a bad guy. But &#8212; and Macron and &#8212; and Schmidt [sic] and, you know &#8212; I mean, Scholz &#8212; what am I talking about?&#8221;</i></p>
<p>This animated chart shows the massive increase in such speech between 2017 and 2021, and in each three-month period of his presidency since. Watch the graphic to see it highlight an example of his rambling speech from each time period every few seconds:</p>

<p>The chart confirms quantifiably, through an objective methodology, the decline in Biden&#8217;s cognition that was on display at his June 27 debate against Donald Trump, and suggests that it would be far worse by the end of a second term. It shows that the bumbling manner of speaking is not the result of a lifelong stutter or simply a folksy style, but something that has gotten progressively more pronounced over time, and at this rate could soon make the commander-in-chief difficult to comprehend.</p>

<p>The computer analysis shows the rate of such fragmented speech relative to the total words spoken in that quarter. The leftmost bar shows the average rate for Biden’s vice presidency.</p>
<p>Here are other examples, progressing through time:</p>
<p>&#8220;The future rent, it&#8217;s unlikely &#8212; at least the hope is, since they have been made whole to that point &#8212; that they&#8217;d be inclined &#8212; because the economy is growing &#8212; inclined not to throw someone out in the street; keep that person &#8212; no guarantee &#8212; keep that person in the apartment, keep these kids in the same school district, and count on being able to have the opportunity for that &#8212; that person to be able &#8212; who may now be employed &#8212; to pay their rent.&#8221; (<a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/speeches-remarks/2021/08/03/remarks-by-president-biden-on-fighting-the-covid-19-pandemic/">Remarks by President Biden on Fighting the COVID-19 Pandemic 2021-08-03</a>)</p>
<p>&#8220;I &#8212; when the &#8212; when I was Vice President, I was given the responsibility of overseeing, as my &#8212; now running the Vets Department, but my &#8212; the former &#8212; the former chief of staff of &#8212; I was saying here to Denis, who can tell you &#8212; of implementing the Recovery Act, which was nearly $9 billion in stimulus pack- &#8212; $900 billion stimulus package.&#8221; (<a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/speeches-remarks/2021/11/12/remarks-by-president-biden-in-cabinet-meeting-2/">Remarks by President Biden in Cabinet Meeting 2021-11-12</a>)</p>
<p>&#8220;And there&#8217;s &#8212; when I ran this time &#8212; and this is about what I think we have to do &#8212; continue to do &#8212; I decided that when those folks &#8212; and you and I talked about this, Eddie &#8212; when those folks came out of those fields in Charlottesville, carrying those torches and Nazi flags and &#8212; and singing all that white supremacist &#8212; anyway.&#8221; (<a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/speeches-remarks/2023/02/03/remarks-by-president-biden-at-a-democratic-national-committee-finance-event/">Remarks by President Biden at a Democratic National Committee Finance Event 2023-02-03</a>)</p>
<p>&#8220;So, I did &#8212; got it &#8212; we got a little negotiation. If you are &#8212; and God forbid, I hope you don&#8217;t need it &#8212; but if you need insulin, you&#8217;re paying now fift- &#8212; $35 a month to make you &#8212; (applause) &#8212; because &#8212; and, by the way, it&#8217;s saving the taxpayers billions of dollars &#8212; billions of dollars.&#8221; (<a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/speeches-remarks/2023/08/09/remarks-by-president-biden-at-a-campaign-reception-albuquerque-nm/">Remarks by President Biden at a Campaign Reception | Albuquerque, NM 2023-08-09</a>)</p>
<p>&#8220;For example &#8212; and I&#8217;ll end with this &#8212; there is more carbon absor- &#8212; absorbed from the atmosphere on a daily basis &#8212; and I&#8217;ll look to my &#8212; my friend, John Kerry, who&#8217;d forgotten more about this than most people know &#8212; correct me if I get this wrong, John, but I&#8217;m quite sure I&#8217;m right &#8212; and that is that there&#8217;s more carbon observed [absorbed] from the air into the Amazon region into the ground &#8212; the ground &#8212; than emitted in the entire United States on the same basis.&#8221; (<a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/speeches-remarks/2023/09/10/remarks-by-president-biden-in-a-press-conference-2/">Remarks by President Biden in a Press Conference 2023-09-10</a>)</p>
<p>&#8220;MAGA Republicans in the Congress are also trying to undo the progress we&#8217;ve made to make it &#8212; make getting a &#8212; you know, look, what &#8212; what I was able to do in the &#8212; what they call the G7, among the NATO countries and European countries &#8212; I was able to get them to all agree &#8212; and then around the world; all the democracies &#8212; agree that we were going to have a global minimum tax on corporates &#8212; on corporations. Meaning that you couldn&#8217;t have a &#8212; offering a tax to build or make something in another country that&#8217;s a considerably lower than what the tax would be in that country where if &#8212; it in fact comes from.&#8221; (<a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/speeches-remarks/2023/09/14/remarks-by-president-biden-on-bidenomics-largo-md/">Remarks by President Biden on Bidenomics | Largo, MD 2023-09-14</a>)<b></b></p>
<p>&#8220;So, guess what? When we begin &#8212; begin to manufacture &#8212; when we were &#8212; negotiate with &#8212; when I said &#8212; look, Medicare buys all these drugs &#8212; billions of dollars&#8217; worth &#8212; to take care of Medicare and Medicaid.&#8221; (<a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/speeches-remarks/2024/03/20/remarks-by-president-biden-on-agreement-with-intel-for-chips-and-science-act-award-chandler-az/">Remarks by President Biden on Agreement with Intel for CHIPS and Science Act Award | Chandler, AZ 2024-03-20</a>)</p>
<p>The analysis of rambling speech mirrors the findings of a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-speaking-errors-doubled-in-last-year-analysis-of-official-transcript-corrections-finds">previous Daily Wire investigation</a> that looked at errors corrected by the White House in transcripts.</p>
<p>That story found that cases where he said the completely wrong words, leading White House staff to strike out his remarks and replace them with what he should have said in brackets, doubled in the 12 months leading up to his disastrous debate performance in June. The staff made 51 corrections to the official transcripts this May alone, up from 33 a year prior, as Biden said things like “I still got 136 [3.6] million people’s debt relieved,” “Today, 720 [270] million Americans,”and “When you muild from the biddle [build from the middle].&#8221;<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p>
