Remarks by President Biden, First Lady Jill Biden, and Dr. Quincy Brown on how ARPA-H is Fast-Tracking Progress in Preventing, Treating, and Detect Cancer; the YouTube is 22 minutes and 26 seconds long.
First Lady Dr. Jill Biden:
Cancer touches us all. When Joe and I lost our son to brain cancer, we decided to turn our pain into purpose. We wanted to help families like ours so that they won’t have to experience this terrible loss.
And as president, Joe has brought his own relentless optimism to the Biden Cancer Moonshot to end cancer as we know it.

At the 18 second mark the video cuts to President Michael Fitts Tulane University: I wanted to thank you for being the architects of the Moonshot program. Bottom line, it saves lives. This will save lives. And you should be very proud.
At the 28 second mark the video cuts to Dr. Quincy Brown: As you know, when you have a cancer diagnosis and cancer surgery is one of the first things that the doctor wants to do. One of the things that patients worry about is will the surgeon be able to remove all the tumor?
At the 41 second mark the video cut to President Biden…
President Biden:
The funding we announced today will help — will get these tools into the operating room to visualize tumors right away instead of having to wait for days and weeks and maybe reopen the patient to go back in. It’s a promising step to reduce the need for follow-up surgeries and improve treatments. Outcomes are better all ac- — will be better all across the board.

I shared this in the comment section somewhere, I can’t find it there this morning…
I want to clarify my remarks on the PBS News special on Monday night about the ongoing cease fire talks in the Middle East. As I said, this was not based on my original reporting; I was referring to reports I had read, in Axios and Reuters, about former President Trump having…

Show more =’s I was referring to reports I had read, in Axios and Reuters, about former President Trump having spoken to the Israeli Prime Minister. In the live TV moment, I repeated the story because I hadn’t seen later reporting that both sides denied it. This was a mistake and I apologize for it.
So, on Monday it was reported that Twice Impeached 45 Felon 34 had asked the Prime Minister of Israel to not accept the ceasefire deal because doing so would help President Biden.
Both parties have denied the claim.
Now, the reason I’m sharing this is two fold…
First fold; I wanted to have a place where the information was easily accessible.
Second fold; We need to make sure information we share is as accurate and update as possible. I know this seems unfair, because it is unfair, that “we” need to be better, and more on the ball than the other side. But life sometimes isn’t fair…
“New” from the White House…
