Biden was in Florida to survey the extensive damage wrought by Hurricane Ian, and the president had just held a joint news conference with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis.
No one f***s with a Biden, US president Biden says
US president Joe Biden was caught saying "No one f***s with a Biden,” while a microphone he thought was off was actually on and recording his every word.

He then moved on to share his thoughts on the Hurricane and the damage done when he was talking to Fort Myers Beach Mayor Ray Murphy.
The two men got together to chat confidentially, convinced they were out of earshot and then, at one point, the President said out loud: "No one f***s with a Biden."
The Mayor, not missing a beat, responded, "You're goddamn right!"
The two men, especially Joe Biden, forgot there was a hot mic right next to them and this is how Biden’s expletives were audibly heard.
Biden did not stop there.
He was also heard saying, "You can't argue with your brother outside the house."
Mayor Murphy, once again not missing a beat, responded: "That's exactly right."
On these remarks, several observers believe that the two men were talking about the fact Biden and DeSantis, who are certain to duke it out for the presidency in 2024, are at cross purposes.
However, during talks in the midst of the Hurricane, the two men shared the stage and came together to deal with the disaster.
Gaffe-prone
As vice president under president Barack Obama, Biden was prone to such gaffes which his boss, Obama, would describe as “rhetorical flourishes.”
At one point, Biden turned to Obama near a hot mic after their health care reform victory, saying, "This is a big f***ing deal!"
Biden has been attacked for being “sleepy”, but these gaffes somehow make him look alive.
