MacCallum asked Kirby what was going on with Biden during that moment.
In response, the Biden official claimed the 80-year-old president's words were easy to understand.
"I think he was very, very clear, Martha," Kirby said.
"So you didn't think there was any problem to communicate there? You didn't have any difficulty understanding what he was trying to say?" MacCallum asked again.

"The president was very clear in that clip and very clear publicly and privately with the Israeli leaders about what we're trying to do here," Kirby concluded.
The video drew a lot of views, with many questioning Biden's declining cognitive health.
Citizen Free Press called Biden the "Mumbler in chief," while conservative commentator Greg Price tweeted, "Imagine watching this video and then thinking to yourself 'yep. I want four more years of that.'"
"Joe Biden is preparing for his second presidential run, bursting with energy," Telegraph contributor Nile Gardiner tweeted.
