President Joe Biden scolded a guest at Monday’s White House event in honor of Eid al-Fitr — celebrating the end of the Islamic holiday Ramadan — saying, “Hush up, boy,” when one of the attendees interrupted him.

Biden began his remarks with a joke, promising to make his comments brief so as to be finished in time for those in attendance to get to their 6 p.m. prayers. “[The] quickest speech I ever made in my life,” he said.

But then someone in the audience called out to the president, alerting him to the fact that the United States’ first and only Muslim federal judge was in attendance for the event.

“We also have the first federal judge — Muslim federal judge. The only one,” the audience member called out, apparently concerned that Biden had not recognized him earlier in the program.

“Hey, Judge, how are you?” Biden responded, adding, “I don’t know why you wanted the job, man. I appoint all those federal judges, but, you know, thank you for serving. I’m not kidding.”

But when Biden attempted to get back to the planned program, the audience member who had interrupted earlier continued to talk over him.

“Do you want to come and make a speech?” Biden asked, waving him forward and prompting laughter from the audience.

After a brief pause, Biden scolded him: “Hush up, boy, as my mother would say.”

The president went on to conclude his remarks about the month-long Islamic holiday, calling Ramadan “a time to slow down, reconnect, and remember what matters most.”

President Biden is only one week into his reelection campaign — which was officially announced via a video early last Tuesday morning — and he is facing an uphill battle even amongst his own party.

Polling released just prior to his announcement indicate that a majority of Democrats would prefer to see someone other than Joe Biden running for their party’s nomination in 2024. Those polls have also suggested that Republicans are in similar straits, with a majority saying they’d prefer to see someone other than their party’s early front-runner — former President Donald Trump.

Actress Emma Watson shot to international stardom when she took on the role of brilliant young witch Hermione Granger in the film adaptations of J.K. Rowling’s “Harry Potter” — but she only just revealed why, after earning critical acclaim for later roles, she essentially vanished from Hollywood.

Watson, who was just ten years old when she first donned her Hogwarts robes for “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone,” hasn’t appeared on screen since “Little Women” — which wrapped in 2018 and was released in 2019. She explained the reason she had stepped away from acting during an interview with the Financial Times that was published Friday: she just wasn’t enjoying it.

“I wasn’t very happy, if I’m being honest. I think I felt a bit caged,” Watson said. “The thing I found really hard was that I had to go out and sell something that I really didn’t have very much control over. To stand in front of a film and have every journalist be able to say, ‘How does this align with your viewpoint?’”

“It was very difficult to have to be the face and the spokesperson for things where I didn’t get to be involved in the process. I was held accountable in a way that I began to find really frustrating, because I didn’t have a voice, I didn’t have a say,” Watson continued. “And I started to realize that I only wanted to stand in front of things where if someone was going to give me flak about it, I could say, in a way that didn’t make me hate myself, ‘Yes, I screwed up, it was my decision, I should have done better.’”

That’s not to say that Watson is finished with acting, she said, noting that if the right project were to come along, she would certainly jump at the chance to go back to movies: “Yes, absolutely. But I’m happy to sit and wait for the next right thing. I love what I do. It’s finding a way to do it where I don’t have to fracture myself into different faces and people. And I just don’t want to switch into robot mode any more.”

She has already tried her hand at directing, working behind the scenes late last year to write and direct an ad campaign for Prada.

“People always told me I should direct and produce, even when I was on Potter. I was worried it was just technical, not creative, and I couldn’t bring what I think is probably my skill set,” Watson explained, adding that the tipping point had been “friends asking for favors – ‘I need to do a photo shoot’ or ‘I’m making a video.’”

“That made me realize I actually know quite a lot about that,” she said. “Being a director seemed unattainable. I don’t think I had any confidence in that. I know it seems weird. I mean, I grew up on a film set.”
