On 11/9/2022, Joe Biden delivered remarks on the 2022 midterms and called on Preapproved List of 10 reporters. Biden called on a list of preapproved reporters, he said “Now, I’ve been given a list of 10 people that I’m supposed to call on. And you’re all supposed to ask me one question, but I’m sure you’ll ask me more. (Laughter.) And so let me start off with a list I’ve been given. Zeke Miller, Associated Press.”
Miller: Thank you, Mr. President. I have two questions for you. As you mentioned — (laughter). As you mentioned —
Biden: (Laughs.) How come we never hold you guys to the same standards you hold us to? (Laughter.) But, anyway, go ahead.
Biden: Nancy. CBS. Nancy Cordes.
Reporter: Thank you, Mr. President. I have a few questions.
Biden: (Laughs.) Okay.
Reporter: I’ve been saving them up. First of all, … And then, my — my final question. (Laughs.)
Biden: Okay. Phil. Phil Mattingly, CNN.
Reporter: Thank you, Mr. President. I have 37 ques- — I’m kidding. (Laughter.)
Biden: (Laughs.)
Reporter: And, Mr. President, last question on humanity. I know, everybody else got some.
Reporter: Not everybody else.
Reporter: Well, you’re coming.
Biden: Okay, go ahead.
Reporter: Last question on humanity.
Biden: Okay, excuse me. These 10 questions are really going quickly. (Laughter.)
Reporter: Stick around for more.
Biden: (Laughs.) Well, I’ve got to meet with some of my — talk to some of the …
What just happened? Q: what in your view happened? “apop— apoc–acop—”
A reporter asked Joe Biden, “And what — what, in your view, happened? Do you think he — he backed off because of that, (inaudible)?”
Biden: No, no, I’m just saying. I just — I just found it interesting that, “Biden is being apop- — apoc- –acop- — Biden is being extremist.” And — and it turns out you all are writing about it now. Kind of fascinating.
A reporter asked Biden, “the issue of college admissions and affirmative action. What can and are you planning in case of a rollback that is expected? There are legal analysts that say that there will be drastic implications, there are tentacles from this, and they even say that this can impact Brown v. Board — the decision from Brown v. Board.
Biden: Well, you know, first of all, I asked our Justice Department to defend the present policy before the Supreme Court. And like a lot of pundits, I’m not prepared to believe that the Supreme Court is going to overrule the pre- — the existing decision. That’s far from certain. And I don’t be- — I don’t believe that … Number two, I — there are a number of things that we can and must do to make it — and, by the way, this is a case involving an Asian American, in terms of getting into school, and whether there’s affirmative action makes sense at all from the standpoint of those who are arguing against it. But, you know, the fact is that we’re — we’re also in a circumstance where there’s a lot that we can do in the meantime to make sure that there’s an access to good education across the board. And that is by doing things that relate to starting education at age three — formal schooling at age three — which it increases — not daycare, but school … to provide for two years of education beyond that, whether it’s apprenticeships or community colleges … So I want to increase the Pell Grants as well. But let’s see what the Supreme Court decides. And I’m — I am hopeful. And our team and our — the lawyers who argued for us are not nearly as certain as the people you quoted as saying it’s going to be overruled.
