remember last week when biden interupted all public air waves for the purpose of personally letting you know that israel totally did not just blow up a hospital in gaza
huh maybe, im trying to find all the places it was broadcast and its pretty hard to track down
ABC called it a “primetime address” or something and that it’s only happened like 7 times in american history, but maybe not a literal federal override thing

That doesn’t sound right, Biden alone has given 30 addresses to the nation like that. Unless they mean very particular circumstances.
Even of the more major addresses I can think of there are more than 7
(in no particular order)
- Bush on 9/11
- Obama on the killing of Osama bin Laden
- Trump on the killing of al-Baghdadi
- Reagan firing all ATC workers
- Bush on invading Afghanistan
- Bush on Hurricane Katrina
- Carter on the hostages in Iran
- Nixon’s resignation
- Ford’s pardoning of Nixon
- LBJ on Kennedy’s assassination
