I don’t think he was thinking - I think he had his scripted joke and was going to deliver it no matter what. I’ve noticed he has the tendency in interviews to just repeat his answers when and interviewer tries to dig into a topic, he’s just not good at thinking on his feet.

That was like 2 PM’s ago. Back when we had a PM the country had voted for, back before we had a PM his own party had voted for.
