Bernie Sanders oddly speaking before Biden at the White House. Usually when the public is addressed from an interior room, there isn't an 'opening act'.

Sanders: In my view, we can no longer tolerate companies like Novo Nordisk, charging American people a thousand dollars a month for Ozempic, a drug that costs less than five dollars to manufacture.

[their solution is to bill the taxpayer a thousand dollars, not pressure companies to lower price]

Mr. Biden: Finally, with Bernie's help, I finally got my Inflation Reduction Act, which passed. Bernie helped get it passed.

[passed with the help of a socialist/communist]

Mr. Biden: The other guy talked about cutting the deficit. He increased the deficit more than any president has in history, and we've cut it.

[Biden cut nothing, and President Trump will be getting rid of the national debt]

Mr. Biden: It's time that drug companies pay rebates when they increase prices faster than inflation, not just for seniors, but for every single American.

[sounds just like making airlines pay passengers for every associated cost when flight is delayed]

Mr. Biden: I promise you, with a democratic congress, Kamala and I will make Roe v Wade the law of the land again. I promise you.

Jean-Pierre: [Biden] has been very, very clear. He wants to make sure that we make the community of Baltimore whole again, and he has said that the federal government will cover, will certainly cover, the bridge being built.

Reporter; You guys started draining the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to try and help with the Putin price hike a few years ago, said you were going to refill it, but now it doesn't seem like that's happening. Why?

Jean-Pierre: I believe the Department of Energy is responsible for that particular component, so I would refer you to the Department of Energy.

Reporter: Why isn't federal immigration law tougher on border crossers who come here and are accused of serious crimes? There's a story in New York; an eight-person crew of border crossers found with drugs and guns, six of them now are out on bail. Does [Biden] think policies like that are making the country safer?

Jean-Pierre: I want to be really careful; that's an active case, so don't want to comment on an active case…anyone found guilty of a crime should be held accountable…if a person poses a danger to the community, they should be detained pre-trial.

Reporter: Do you guys think some big cities in this country have liberal DAs that are too soft on crime?

Jean-Pierre: Look, what I will say is I'm not going to speak to every state or city here. It's not for me to speak to.

Jean-Pierre: The announcement that some provisions of Uganda's anti-homosexuality act have been removed by the constitutional court is a small and insufficient step towards safeguarding human rights. The United States is deeply concerned about the remaining provisions, which undermine public health, human rights, and Uganda's international reputation….we will continue to work to advance respect for human rights for all in Uganda, and also around the world.

['gay rights' in Uganda is of no concern to the United States, only to a small group of far-left communist extremists]
