RISCH: So are you unaware this is actually happening? It happened yesterday at the Interagency Fire Center. Again, the president speaks for himself, makes all the strategic decisions, informed by the best advice he can get from the people around him. Who is that person? BLINKEN: There is no such person. It has been widely reported that someone has the ability to cut off his sound and stop him from speaking. No one… RISCH: Are you saying that there is no one in the White House who can cut him off? Because yesterday, it happened, and it has happened a number of times before that.

Somebody in the White House has the authority to press the button and to cut off the president's speaking ability. We have seen it as recently as yesterday. RISCH: I am more concerned about the top decision-making.

This is a United States Senator questioning the Secretary of State as to whether or not the President of the United States is being operated by remote control, and I am not lying about any of this. On Tuesday, the Senate’s Foreign Relations Committee got its chance to question Secretary Blinken, and Republican Senator James Risch took the opportunity to force Blinken to sprain a muscle trying to keep a straight face.
