00:00 Biden trips in Philadelphia before saying Hamas makes al-Qaeda look pure.
00:05 President Biden stumbled twice Friday while walking up the steps of a stage in Philadelphia,
00:10 before telling his audience that al-Qaeda terrorists seem "pure" next to those from "evil" Hamas.
00:17 The 80-year-old president initially staggered as he began to climb a small set of stairs to the stage,
00:23 then lurched forward as he threatened to lose his balance completely,
00:26 recalling a bad spill he took earlier this year during the Air Force Academy commencement exercises.
00:32 When Biden regained his footing, he theatrically gripped the railing with both hands and mugged for his audience
00:38 before making his way to the lectern and giving an unexpected appraisal of the global terror network that carried out the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks,
00:48 killing 2,977 people at the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and Shanksville,
00:54 "Pah! These guys make, they make al-Qaeda look pure. They're pure evil," Biden said of the Palestinian jihadist organization that rules the Gaza Strip.
01:04 "As I said from the beginning, the United States, make no mistake about it, stands with Israel."
