A man is sitting in a chair in front of two other men holding up a map of what is likely meant to be the United States. Based on the building in the window that appears to be the Washington Monument, this is likely inside the White House and the main in the chair is implied to be the President.
It's unusual to see a map of the United States without the states, and depicting a large swathe down the middle in this way.  The President wouldn't need to have his advisors use an easel to show him a picture of the country.
Why is the President being briefed in this manner? What is the pattern on the map supposed to indicate?
Stay with me, sir. It's almost recess.

A joke about a childish politicians with short attention spans. The two advisors are explaining something very important (it looks like a pandemic spreading), and apparently the politician is inattentive, simply hoping to go outside to play like a child. It's funny in part because it plays on the idea that politicians are not actually smart and don't actually care about people.
