During the recent vice presidential debate between Joe Biden and Paul Ryan, Biden had this to say about President Obama’s relationship with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu: “He’s spoken to Bibi Netanyahu as much as he’s spoken to anybody.” Below is the full transcript as provided by The Weekly Standard.

Biden: The ayatollah sees his economy being crippled. The ayatollah sees that there are 50 percent fewer exports of oil. He sees the currency going into the tank. He sees the economy going into free fall, and he sees the world for the first time totally united in opposition to him getting a nuclear weapon.

The idea that we’re not — I was in a — just before he went to the U.N., I was in a conference call with the — with the president, with him talking to Bibi, for well over an hour in — in — in — in — in stark relief and detail about what was going on. This is a bunch of stuff. Look, here’s the deal —

Raddatz (moderator): What does that mean, “a bunch of stuff”?

Biden: Well, it means it’s simply inaccurate.

Ryan: It’s Irish. (Chuckles.)

Biden: It is. (Laughter.) We Irish call it malarkey.
