President Biden called House Speaker Mike Johnson "dead on arrival" during a strange interaction with a reporter on Monday.

The exchange came shortly after Biden called on Congress to impose term limits and a code of conduct on the Supreme Court. In a statement released earlier on Monday, Johnson condemned Biden's proposal to "radically overhaul the U.S. Supreme Court," and argued that doing so would "tilt the balance of power" and erode the rule of law.

"This proposal is the logical conclusion to the Biden-Harris Administration and Congressional Democrats’ ongoing efforts to delegitimize the Supreme Court," the Louisiana Republican argued. "Their calls to expand and pack the Court will soon resume."

"It is telling that Democrats want to change the system that has guided our nation since its founding simply because they disagree with some of the Court’s recent decisions," he added. "This dangerous gambit of the Biden-Harris Administration is dead on arrival in the House."

When a reporter asked Biden for his response after he arrived in Austin, Texas, on Monday afternoon, Biden gave a garbled response.

"Mr. President, House Speaker Johnson says your Supreme Court reform is ‘dead on arrival.’ What’s your reaction, sir?" a reporter inquired.

"Who said that?" Biden responded.

"Speaker Johnson said it’s ‘dead on arrival,’" the reporter repeated.

The president then responded, "I think that’s what he is."

When the journalist asked for clarification, Biden doubled down on his retort.

"That he is – dead on arrival," he replied.

The president then vowed that he was going to "figure [out] a way," to get his proposed radical changes to the Supreme Court passed.

Around an hour later, Biden clarified his remarks during a speech and explained that he was referring to Johnson's thought process.

"The Republican Speaker of the House said, whatever he proposes, [is] dead on arrival," Biden said to the audience. "I think his thinking is dead on arrival."

Former President Trump condemned the opening ceremony of the 2024 Paris Olympic Games amid outrage over a scene that critics say parodied Leonardo da Vinci’s acclaimed painting "The Last Supper."

"I thought that the opening ceremony was a disgrace, actually," Trump told "The Ingraham Angle" on Monday. "I thought it was a disgrace."

The scene depicted dancers and dancers in drag surrounding a table of what appeared to resemble the last dinner between Jesus and his disciples.

The French Bishops’ Conference said the ceremony "included scenes of mockery and derision of Christianity."

House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., also condemned the scene in a post on X, writing, "Last night’s mockery of the Last Supper was shocking and insulting to Christian people around the world who watched the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games." "The war on our faith and traditional values knows no bounds today. But we know that truth and virtue will always prevail," he wrote.

Thomas Jolly, the director of the opening ceremony, told French TV station BFMTV over the weekend that "The Last Supper" was not his inspiration for the highly-criticized scene.

"It's not my inspiration," he said. "There is Dionysus who arrives on this table. He is there because he is the God of celebration in Greek mythology. The god of wine who is one of the jewels of France. And the father of Sequana, the goddess who is connected to the river, the Seine. The idea was to have a pagan celebration connected to the gods of Olympus."

"You will never find in me a desire to mock and denigrate anyone. I wanted to make a ceremony that repairs, that reconciles, and also that reaffirms the values ​​of our Republic: liberty-equality-fraternity," Jolly continued.

Trump said if he were at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympic Games and could influence the organizers, there wouldn’t be a portrayal of "The Last Supper."

"We won't be having a Last Supper as portrayed the way they portrayed it the other night," he told Fox News host Laura Ingraham. 

"I mean, they can do certain things. I thought it was terrible," Trump said. "Look, I'm for everybody. I'm very open-minded... but I thought what they did was a disgrace."
