Evidence (2024-07-16): After the attempted assassination of former U.S. President Donald Trump on July 13, 2024, his supporters accused President Joe Biden of using violent rhetoric to provoke violence against Trump. Many posts online claimed that Biden had told people to "put Trump in a bull's-eye" and pointed to a news report saying he said those words. [...] In reality, Biden called for his campaign to stop focusing on damage control in the wake of his weak performance in a June 27 debate against Trump and instead focus on defeating Trump in the November election. The quote was pulled from news reports about a private phone call Biden had with campaign donors on July 8. It was neither a public statement nor an order for a physical attack on Trump. [...] A Washington Post reporter shared Biden's full quote on X:

Evidence (2023-11-16): Historians and experts who have studied propaganda from Nazi Germany told the BBC that Mr Biden's comparison was accurate. [...] That speech provoked accusations from some conservatives that Mr Biden was himself demonising political opponents in the mould of an authoritarian leader. But it marked a turning point in the Democratic president's stance towards Mr Trump. Mr Biden is now more explicit in arguing that Mr Trump and his allies represent a threat to democracy.

Evidence (2024-03-20): We tested tools that claim to detect AI-generated audio using audio from a robocall that falsely manipulated President Joe Biden’s voice to make it sound as if he was saying something he never said. Only one tool out of four was able to flag that the audio was likely generated by AI. [...] It took a New Orleans street magician only 20 minutes and $1 to create audio that sounded like President Joe Biden discouraging Democrats from voting in the New Hampshire primary.

Evidence (2022-03-17): All other things being equal, everyone would prefer clean over dirty energy. However, all other things are not equal. We need secure, reliable, and economic energy systems for all countries in the world. This includes Africa, which is currently lacking grid electricity in many countries. We need a 21st century infrastructure for our electricity and transportation systems, to support continued and growing prosperity. The urgency of rushing to implement 20th century renewable technologies risks wasting resources on an inadequate energy infrastructure, increasing our vulnerability to weather and climate extremes and harming our environment in new ways. [...] We should work to minimize our impact on the planet, which isn’t simple for a planet with 8 billion inhabitants. We should work to minimize air and water pollution. From time immemorial, humans have adapted to climate change. Whether or not we manage to drastically curtail our carbon dioxide emissions in the coming decades, we need to reduce our vulnerability to extreme weather and climate events. [...] To thrive in the 21st century, the world will need much more energy. Of course we prefer our energy to be clean, as well as cheap. To get there, we need new technologies. The most promising right now is small modular nuclear reactors. But there are also exciting advances in geothermal, hydrogen and others. And the technology landscape will look different ten years from now.

Evidence (2023-10-24): Thank you, Mr. Bengio. [...] Let me just thank each of you. That's really helpful. Let me just throw an idea out to you while I have you here, so to speak which is, when we think about protecting individuals and their personal data and making sure that it doesn't end up being used to train one of these generative AI systems without the individual's consent, we know that there's just an enormous amount of, of, of pers of our own personal information out there in public, kind of, you know, I mean, it's really without our permission, but it's out there on, on the web and everything from our, our credit histories to social media posts, et cetera, et cetera. Should we, should we, in addition to assigning property rights in individual data, you know, explicitly give every American a property, right? And their data, should we also require monetary compensation if AI companies want to use individual data in their model in some way? Professor Gio, go ahead.

Evidence (2024-03-04): Put very simply, Chinese control of the South China Sea would unsettle Taiwan security environment, complicating its own defense and America’s ability to come to its aid in the event of a crisis. The same goes for Chinese efforts to rest control of the Senkaku or Diaoyu Islands from Japan in the East China Sea. Again, Chinese control of the Senkakus would permit the PLA to pose a more complex threat to Taiwan, while complicating US and, or Japanese intervention in the event of a conflict. [...] But this is different now. There were times in the past and I’ll review them in a minute. What this does is keep the One China policy or at least not disavow it, but enact a whole series of substantive incremental changes showing ever greater support for Taiwan’s security and stability. We talked a bit about how China slices the salami in the South China Sea and other places. The US is slicing the salami vis-a-vis China over Taiwan right now. [...] And this comes at the same time when I think we see the trend lines in Taiwan about views towards unification versus independence have been steadily shifting away from unification towards independence, very strongly pro status quo. And so you have sort of a unstoppable force meets an immovable object, and that worries me going forward. And I don’t want to make predictions about how it plays out, and obviously the United States has a big role to play in ensuring it doesn’t play out in a bad way, but I’m worried.

Evidence (2023-10-11): And I’ll say, also, that it was very horrifying to see this attack, what happened from Hamas in southern Israel against these communities. But also it’s very important to know that this was not an outburst of violence in a condition of peace before. There were several massacres and mass killings that took place by Israel in Gaza during this time period, years leading up to this, including peaceful marches that took place to the separation barrier that contains this territory, [in] which many, many Palestinians were shot and killed, and the response of the international community was quite muted. [...] And I think these two factors, the psychological mental torture and the physical torture of Palestinians, have been going on for decades now. And the people in Gaza felt it more than others, because of the occupations, the siege, the overpopulation of the area, having 2.2 million people in this open prison. I hate to say it, call it a refugee concentration camp, but it’s really become that way. And the fact that, for the past 17 years, there’s been such a tightened siege of the strip, have basically radicalized the population there, and certainly radicalized the Palestinian factions there.

Evidence (2024-07-11): In July 2024, a viral post purported to share a real graphic from British broadcaster BBC News, quoting U.S. President Joe Biden as saying "inaudible" during a speech, as though reading from a teleprompter. The graphic included an image of Biden speaking, with the caption below reading: "Let me say this as clearly and simply as I can: [inaudible]." The above image was edited to appear like a BBC News graphic, but it was not real. We found no evidence of such an image on BBC News' official social media accounts. The statement in question on the graphic is also inaccurate, as Biden was not inaudible at that moment in his speech. As such, we rate this graphic as "Fake." We found the authentic graphic of Biden on BBC's Instagram account. The graphic quotes Biden as saying, "Let me say this as clearly and simply as I can: I'm running."

Evidence (2024-07-16): [00:20:10] But this idea that we are going to shame or force through power or political violence or whatever and get on the same side, I can't see our way through this anymore. And I don't want to do it. I don't w ant to do this "They're monsters. They're terrible. The Republican Party wants to harm America. This is the most important election of our lifetime." How far does this need to go before we realize it's not working? I guess, led by the Holy Spirit, I picked up Amanda Ripley's High Conflict, a book so many of you had recommended to me, and I read it on the flight here because I had 13 hours, so plenty of time. And it's an excellent book. It's an excellent, excellent book. I read it. And I had Joe Biden in my mind as I read all these portions about you can't shame someone, you can't humiliate someone, you can't exclude someone into agreeing with you. It makes people double down as I was watching Joe Biden do this in real time.
