When I see something like this it looks edited
It's edited, but not heavily:

Fast forward to about 44:00 in. The reporter introduces himself around 43:00 but I couldn't make out what org he's with and the transcript doesn't have it. He's in the back though so it's probably smaller.
I was thinking the same.
This is John Kirby, National Security Council Coordinator for Strategic Communications, and was Pentagon Press Secretary under Obama.
Here is a good way to grab Kirby historical footage (use "Person" search on CSPAN):

We have two great cues to work from here: Kirby's tie and the fact that he's passing off the podium. I'd trace this to his APRIL 20, 2023 appearance:

Fast forward to 34:00 and you'll see that it's edited.
But all is not lost here because it was a good question. What reporter asked that question and how was it responded to in reality?
EDIT:
Well fuck me he wore the same tie twice! 🤣🤣
Here it is:

I searched for the term "corrupt" to track it down.
Thank you to @merf for sharing the Cspan link to the full video. Start at timestamp 42:00 to get the full context. The question is asked, he looks baffled for a few seconds as he struggles for a response. Then a female voice says "let's go", and he walks off the podium. The edited video isn't changing anything. The original video actually looks more damning as he is essentially left speechless before walking off.
lol.. that was a funny clip. you're hilarious. Wait, the last scene was a comedy clip, right?
You can have the red pill or the blue pill :)
