James S. Brady Press Briefing Room

Even though Google thinks it’s spelled wrong; I did verify Theatre is the correct spelling. Learn new things everyday!

Press Briefing @1:45 p.m. D.C., time.

Since President Biden remarks are listed as a political event it’s likely the White House will not provide a feed; they will provide a transcript of his remarks shortly after he delivers them. With that in mind I did find a CNBC feed for his remarks scheduled for 12:15 p.m. D.C., time.

When the post was posted for Monday, President Biden had tweeted 4 times. He added 7 tweets giving him a Monday Tweeting Total of 11 tweets and 0 retweets.

The 29 second clip was taken from remarks he gave on Friday from Irvine, CA. The YouTube can be found here. His full remarks can be found here.

President Biden: But let’s be crystal clear of what that means. If Republicans in Congress have their way, it’s going to mean the power we just gave Medicare to negotiate lower prescription drug prices and other costs over time goes away. Gone. The $2,000 cap on prescription drugs goes away. Gone. The $35-a-month cap on insulin for Medicare is gone.

President Biden: And here — here’s the bottom line, so please hear this: When it actually comes time to do something about inflation around the kitchen table, Republicans in Congress are saying, “No.” If Republicans take control, the prices are going to go up, as will inflation. It’s this simple.

The YouTube is 9 minutes and 3 seconds long. His full remarks can be found here.

President Biden: Good afternoon to everyone else. Less than eight weeks ago, I announced my administration’s plan to forgive up to $10,000 in federal student debt and up to $20,000 if you received a Pell Grant for folks earning less than $125,000 a year. Today, I’m announcing how millions — millions of people, working- and middle-class folks, can apply for — to get this relief. And it’s simple, and it’s now. It’s easy. It’s fast.

President Biden: My commitment was: If elected President, I was going to make government work to deliver for the people.  This — this rollout keeps that commitment, just as I’m keeping my commitment to relieve student debt as borrowers recover from this economic crisis caused by the once-in-a-lifetime pandemic.

President Biden: You’ll be able to fill out your name, Social Security number, date of birth, and contact information.  No forms to upload.  No special log-in to remember.  It’s available in English and in Spanish, on desktop and mobile. It takes less than five minutes.  And if you have any questions, you follow up — we will be able to follow up with you. 

It’s a 6 second gif like video snip that has no voice-over.

The studentaid.gov/debt-relief/application has an FAQ at the top and the form to fill out at the bottom. The legal stuff says:

President Biden: Let me close with this: Today marks a big step, among others, that my administration is taking to make education a ticket to the middle class that folks can actually afford.  But don’t take my word for it. 

President Biden has tweeted…

President Biden has tweeted 3 times so far for Tuesday.

The image based on clues seem to come from his event on Saturday in Portland, Oregon. The text in the tweet though, does not appear in his remarks from Thursday, Friday, or Saturday; I did find this:

Friday, President Biden delivered remarks on the economy (it was jobs report Friday)…

The YouTube is 14 minutes and 59 seconds long. His full remarks can be found here.

President Biden: You know, I know most families are focused on just putting three meals on the table, taking care of their kids, and paying their bills.  Helping you do that is my job.  That’s a President’s job as well. I have one more job, which is not only to focus on getting America through the economic challenges we’re facing, but to look to the future to make sure we’re building an economy that — that meets the needs of American families to be able to succeed and for America to win the future.

The news blender. 08/09/2022.

The 10 second campaign ad features a strobe like effect flashing through the achievements of the Biden Admin.

Bipartisan Infrastructure Act.
Inflation Reduction Act.
CHIPS and Science Act.
American Rescue Plan.

From his remarks on Monday:

President Biden: In total, more than 40 million Americans can stand to benefit from this relief, and about 90 percent — 90 percent of that relief is going to go people making less than $75,000 a year. Let me be clear: Not a dime will go to those in the top 5 percent of the income bracket.  Period. 

This is an Open Thread.
