Here is the link to the White House transcript of President Biden's press conference this week.

If you did not have a chance to watch the whole thing, please take the time to read the transcript. It does not take too long to read.

We must go to the original sources/documents rather than rely on corporate media. Letting corporations filter our information, has brought us to this dangerous place. Corporations are not interested in democracy. Corporations are interested in control and profit. Corporations will always put their corporate spin. They need controversy and division to drive clicks and eyes. It is why Fox has been so successful, but all corporate media operate this way and are not on the side of the Democratic Party or Democracy, in general. As corporate control of news has spread like a cancer across the globe, so has the threat of autocracy.

1. The best line...

You know, with regard to the filibuster, I believe we should go back to a position on the filibuster that existed just when I came to the United States Senate 120 years ago.

You know the hard right is going to claim President Biden is "senile" because he said he came to the Senate 120 years ago, but it was obviously a joke...a damn funny one.

4. Yes. But those people are stupid and unreachable, anyway.

So there is that.

2. The Best Part

Well, look, the idea that I’m going to say — which I would never do — “if an unaccompanied child ends up at the border, we’re just going to let him starve to death and stay on the other side” — no previous administration did that either, except Trump. I’m not going to do it. I’m not going to do it.

That's the America, that I want to live in.
