Reporter: The misinformation that you've been talking about related to this hurricane and the recovery efforts; do you think it's temporary, or are you worried that this might be a permanent state of being for this country.

Mr. Biden; I think it's a permanent state of being for some extreme people, but I don't think it's what the country is about, We're breaking through with the truth…I think those who have been spreading these lies to try to undermine the opposition are going to pay a price for it.

Reporter: Do you think Donald Trump is singularly to blame for all this?

Mr. Biden: No, he's not singularly to blame, he's just the biggest mouth.

[the 'press' has had an unusual interest in hurricane 'misinformation']

Mr. Biden: The misinformation out there is not only just disgusting, but it's dangerous. It's misleading…to hear this malarkey that you're hearing from some of the people; I don't want to get into it, lose my tempter. The truth is, we're providing all the resources that are needed.

Mr. Biden: With that, I'll yield to the president. I mean the vice president.
