President Joe Biden was anything but serious during an update on the two attacks that occurred on New Year’s Eve.

One would think that updating the nation on a terror attack that killed partiers on New Orleans’ Bourbon Street would be a solemn event, but Biden managed to crack a joke about the Sugar Bowl while praising the city’s “tremendous spirit.”

Watch:

“New Orleans is a city of tremendous spirit. You can’t keep it down. You really can’t,” the president remarked. “And we’re seeing that today, the Sugar Bowl is back on. Kickoff is going to take off very shortly. If I don’t get this damned thing done we’re going to be in real trouble.”

A smattering of laughter occurred as Biden flashed a smile, before continuing, “People of New Orleans are sending an unmistakable message. They will not let this attack, the attacks, or the attackers’ deluded ideology overcome us.”

He also vowed that the government would “continue to relentlessly pursue ISIS and other terrorist organizations where they are.”

While it is currently believed the New Orleans terror suspect acted alone, Biden noted that the government would also probe the possibility of a connection between Shamsud-Din Jabbar and the man responsible for the Tesla Cybertruck explosion outside President-elect Donald Trump’s Las Vegas hotel.

“As of now … they have not found any evidence of such a connection,” Biden pointed out.
