The show, hosted by Willem Dafoe, opened with Biden, played by James Austin Johnson, being briefed in the Oval Office by several advisers.

One adviser, played by Kenan Thompson, tells him that the situation at Ukraine’s border is “growing tenser” by the hour.

“We’re even getting some reports that Russia has already invaded, but those are from the same people who said Tom Brady retired,” another adviser, portrayed by Ego Nwodim, adds. “So take it with a grain of salt.”

Johnson’s Biden then asks: “What about the NATO forces? Are they ready to back us up?”

Thompson replies that every NATO country is sending supplies to Ukraine, except Germany. “They’re staying out of it,” he says.

“Oh man,” Biden responds. “If Germany doesn’t want to go to war, you know it’s bad!”

A third adviser, played by Alex Moffat, tells Johnson’s Biden that Russia’s military presence on the Ukrainian border “may be the least of our problems” because of a Russian campaign to spread disinformation on social media.

“Russia tried that during our last election, too,” Johnson’s Biden says. “But it didn’t work.”

But Thompson interjects: “Well, 40 percent of Americans think you lost the election, so it kinda did.”

The advisers then show Johnson’s Biden reviews several disinformation posts that are circulating on Ukrainian Facebook.

“Ukrainian border encroaching on Russian Troops,” one headline says. “Russian forces surrounding Ukraine just to give it big hug,” says another.

Johnson’s Biden responds: “I’m gonna break my New Year’s resolution and say it: malarkey!”

Nwodim’s adviser says the disinformation campaign is even bringing the U.S. into it, citing a post that declared: “American CDC strongly recommends Russia invade Ukraine.”

Thompson’s adviser asks if this was true. “For a few months in 2020—the science was changing so fast,” Johnson’s Biden replied.

The advisers also pointed to a post that says “Neil Young to remove music from Spotify unless Ukraine surrenders,” a reference to the artist removing his music from the streaming platform due to vaccine misinformation shared by podcaster Joe Rogan.

The group then take a look at pro-Russian versions of popular memes, including a crying Michael Jordan meme with the caption: “Why I gotta be Ukrainian when Russia two feet away.”

They also watch a TikTok video of a Russian solider dancing with a Ukrainian solider.

“What the hell was that dancing? Choreography wasn’t even crisp! I’m going to log into my Finsta and flame those guys in the comments,” Johnson’s Biden says in response.

Later, he asks: “What can we do to fight back against this propaganda?”

“Well, we have to fight fire with fire,” Nwodim says before introducing a teenager plays by Chloe Fineman as the new Secretary of Defense.

“I’m a junior at a vicious girls’ high school and y’all work for me now,” she says.

Johnson’s Biden suggests doing “something fun and simple that everyone can get behind, like a drone strike.”

“Mr. President, I think your generation could learn a lot from mine,” she tells him. ‘Like, we don’t believe in drone strikes. We believe in breaking down our enemies psychologically.

“That’s why I’m going to DM Putin and say, ‘Oh my God, I loved your outfit the other day. Was that Old Navy?’

“Already he’s spiraling… In three weeks, he will have completely lost his mind.”
