House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) recently shared a startling account of a meeting with President Joe Biden, where the president reportedly displayed a troubling lack of awareness about a major executive order he had signed just weeks earlier. Johnson’s revelations have reignited concerns about Biden’s cognitive abilities and raised critical questions about who is truly steering the nation’s policies.
In an interview with Bari Weiss of The Free Press on Friday, Johnson detailed a pivotal moment that left him deeply unsettled. “In some ways, I actually kind of feel sorry for Joe Biden,” Johnson admitted. “He’s in the twilight years of his life and clearly not in charge. I know this from personal observation.”
When Johnson arrived at the meeting, he found himself facing not just Biden but also a roomful of Democratic leaders. “It was an ambush,” Johnson remarked, noting the apparent intention to control the narrative.
However, the dynamic shifted when Biden asked everyone else to leave the room, leaving him alone with Johnson. The president’s staff appeared visibly concerned as they exited, according to Johnson.
Johnson then raised a critical issue: a recent executive order Biden had signed to freeze liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports. “Liquified natural gas is in great demand by our allies,” Johnson said he told Biden. “Why would you do that? You’re fueling Vladimir Putin’s war machine because they have to get their gas from him.”
Biden’s response left Johnson stunned. “He said, ‘I didn’t do that,’” Johnson recounted. “I said, ‘Mr. President, yes, you did. It was an executive order like three weeks ago.’”
Biden appeared genuinely confused, insisting he hadn’t signed such an order. When Johnson pressed further, Biden claimed the executive action was merely a directive to study LNG exports, not to freeze them. Johnson realized Biden wasn’t lying—he genuinely seemed unaware of what he had signed.
“It occurred to me, Bari, he was not lying to me. He genuinely did not know what he had signed,” Johnson said. “I walked out of that meeting with fear and loathing because I thought, ‘We’re in serious trouble.’”
Johnson’s account raises the chilling question of who is truly running the country. “I don’t know who put the paper in front of him, but he didn’t know,” Johnson added.
The incident underscores growing concerns about Biden’s capacity to effectively lead the nation. Critics have long speculated about the president’s mental acuity, and Johnson’s firsthand account provides further evidence that key decisions may be made without Biden’s full understanding.
The executive order in question had significant geopolitical implications, as LNG is a vital resource for U.S. allies and a key alternative to Russian energy exports. By freezing LNG exports, the administration inadvertently strengthened Vladimir Putin’s hand in global energy markets.
“This isn’t just about forgetting a policy decision,” Johnson said. “It’s about the broader implications for national security and our standing on the world stage.”
Johnson’s experience is not an isolated incident. Biden has faced repeated scrutiny for moments that suggest memory lapses or confusion during public appearances. From forgetting names to losing his train of thought mid-sentence, such instances have fueled bipartisan calls for greater transparency about the president’s cognitive health.
Additionally, the speaker’s inability to meet with Biden for weeks highlights the apparent gatekeeping by White House staff. Johnson suggested this could be part of a deliberate effort to shield Biden from scrutiny.
“If his own team is concerned about letting him engage directly with other leaders, that’s a problem,” Johnson said. “It raises serious questions about who is making the decisions behind the scenes.”
Speaker Johnson’s account paints a disturbing picture of a president disconnected from critical policy decisions and reliant on a shadowy network of advisors. As Johnson aptly put it: “Who is running the country?”
The implications of this leadership void are profound, particularly in an era of heightened global tensions and domestic challenges. While Biden’s supporters may dismiss concerns about his cognitive state, Johnson’s experience suggests that Americans deserve clearer answers about who is truly steering the ship of state.
As the nation grapples with this unsettling revelation, one thing is clear: the questions about Biden’s leadership are unlikely to fade anytime soon.

Johnson is also an idiot and softie who isn’t fit to hold a position of authority in our government!
Biden did all he gets now to himself; and feeling sorry for him is so misplaced, like sympathy for the devil! Biden was for decades a maniacal and treacherous backstabbing, conniving corrupted to his core partisan and an outright criminal on par with organized crime figures; who has been “wheeling and dealing for cash around the globe!” Biden is exponentially far worse than “wicked Hillary” with her “pay to play scheme and many debacles!” Biden is “a traitor and a very evil lying SOB” that should have been locked up decades ago!
Every thing Biden signed needs to be scrutinized if he or someone else signed legal documents
This is a major problem and needs to be investigated now for federal criminal crimes.
Don’t think Biden signed everything he was supposed to sign. Who’s the imposter signing the presidents name.
Sue; correct and this has been flat out Conspiracy and Treason!
