Fake news! You'd have to average 21000 mph to go that distance in 7 minutes. Humans can tolerate (mostly) acceleration around 3 times gravity, or 65 mph per second, so you could accelerate up to speed (6.5 minutes), fly at cruising speed for 30 seconds, then slow back down (6.5 minutes again). Everyone with a heart condition would be passed out, and some elderly/infirm passengers wouldn't make it, but the plane would have arrived, in 13 and a half minutes.
Alternatively, you could just strap the passengers to a hypersonic missile, and... Nope, those are way too slow to keep up with regular commercial flights. Nevermind.
Side note: if you accidentally don't point the engines almost straight into the ground at cruising speed, you'll leave the atmosphere, but eventually fall back in, because you're still marginally below escape velocity.

Biden could do it. He does pushups and stair-climber like all day. Healthy as a horse that potato is.
Technically speaking, he didn't specify taking off and landing.
And if old white men are liquified on the trip, the DNC calls that a win. It's a good union job, hosing out the plane after landing.
