State of the Union 2024: From Kate Cox to Shawn Fain, White House guest list offers preview of speech
By

March 7, 2024 5:00 am
President Joe Biden‘s 2024 State of the Union address is likely to underscore abortion access, so-called Bidenomics, and foreign policy, if the White House‘s guest list is any indication.
The list of people who will watch the speech with first lady Jill Biden and Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff, according to the East Wing, includes Kate Cox, the Texas mother-of-two who traveled out of state for an abortion last year after the Supreme Court repealed Roe v. Wade, United Auto Workers President Shawn Fain, and Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson. Notably absent is a guest connected to the Israel–Hamas war.
The way Biden addresses “thorny issues may not change any minds,” according to the University of Michigan’s Aaron Kall, “but he can do his best to express empathy and let people know he has the country’s best interests at heart.”
“Special invited guests that often sit with the first lady can also help bolster specific policy proposals during State of the Union addresses,” Kall, who co-wrote and edited The State of the Union is…: Memorable Addresses of the Last Sixty Years, told the Washington Examiner. “This tradition goes all the way back to Ronald Reagan in 1982.”
Here is who will be sitting in Jill Biden’s viewing box, accompanied by an abbreviated description of each guest provided by the White House:
Latorya Beasley, Birmingham, Alabama — Beasley and her husband had their first child through IVF in 2022 and were in the process of expanding their family through another round of treatments when their embryo transfer was canceled because of last month’s Alabama Supreme Court decision.
Kris Blackley, Fort Mill, South Carolina — Blackley is an oncology nurse and the director of patient navigation for the Atrium Health Levine Cancer Institute, part of Advocate Health.
Jazmin Cazares, Uvalde, Texas — Cazares is a gun control advocate. After her sister Jackie was killed in the 2022 shooting at Robb Elementary in Uvalde, Texas, Cazares spent her senior year of high school traveling across the country, sharing Jackie’s story.
Kate Cox, Dallas — Cox is a mother-of-two from Texas who traveled out of state to receive an abortion that her doctor had recommended after the Supreme Court overturned Roe in 2022.
Samantha Ervin-Upsher, Pittsburgh — Ervin-Upsher is an apprentice with the United Brotherhood of Carpenters Local 432 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
United Auto Workers President Shawn Fain, Detroit
Bettie Mae Fikes, Selma, Alabama — Known as “The Voice of Selma,” Fikes is a singer and civil rights advocate who was a Bloody Sunday Foot Soldier in Selma, Alabama, in 1965.
Steven Hadfield, Matthews, North Carolina — Hadfield has a rare blood cancer and is diabetic, two conditions that require drug treatments.
Augusta, Georgia, Mayor Garnett L. Johnson
Keenan Jones, Plymouth, Minnesota — Jones is a public middle school educator in Minnesota’s Twin Cities and a member of Education Minnesota.

Coons: ‘Joe Biden Will Talk About How He Successfully Brought Us Together’
Wednesday, during an appearance on Fox News Channel, Sen. Chris Coons (D-DE) said to expect President Joe Biden to lay out his accomplishment while in office during Thursday’s State of the Union address.

House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., announced he would be hosting a former Israeli hostage held by Hamas, Mia Schem, as one of his guests. "Mia spent more than 50 days in captivity after being kidnapped on October 7th. I’m proud to stand with Mia and join her in demanding the release [of] all the hostages still held captive by Hamas. We must continue to fight to get them home," he said in a statement.
Relatives of those still in captivity are also slated to attend – Rep. Josh Gottheimer, D-N.J., told Fox News Digital that he is bringing the fathers of two Americans being held in Gaza. His guests are Adi Alexander, father of Edan Alexander, and Jonathan Dekel-Chen, whose son is Sagui Dekel-Chen.
Republican Sens. Ted Budd and Thom Tillis of North Carolina are additionally bringing the family of current hostage Keith Siegel to the address. His sister Lucy and niece Hanna will be in attendance for Biden's remarks. Siegel, who is one of six American citizens being held by Hamas, is a native of North Carolina, the senators noted.
Tillis expressed "great relief" that Keith's wife Aviva Siegel was released after also being kidnapped by Hamas following the Oct. 7 attack on Israel, but stressed, "We are still working to secure Keith’s freedom from Hamas captivity."
Sen. Joni Ernst, R-Iowa, announced her guest would be Hagit Chen, whose son, 19-year-old Itay Chen is still being held hostage by Hamas. Esther "Etty" Israeli, Chen's aunt, will also be attending as the guest of Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla.
Florida mother Nathaly Haratz Kaswan, an advocate for returning the remaining Israeli hostages to their homes and families, is additionally going to the address as the guest of Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla.
Gold Star families of Kabul blast victims
House Foreign Affairs Chairman Michael McCaul, R-Texas, invited Christy Shamblin, the mother-in-law of Marine Sgt. Nicole Gee, one of the 13 American service members killed in an ISIS-K terrorist attack at Abbey Gate during the Biden administration’s chaotic evacuation from Afghanistan in August 2021.
McCaul, whose committee is actively investigating the withdrawal, said, "I hope Christy’s attendance sends a clear signal to President Biden and the American people that I will not rest until a complete and thorough investigation has occurred – and that people are held accountable for what happened."
Riley Gaines
Another guest of Johnson's set to attend the speech is Riley Gaines, Independent Women's Forum ambassador and a former college swim champion.
Gaines has become an activist for biological women and girls in sports ever since facing Lia Thomas, a transgender swimmer from the University of Pennsylvania, in the NCAA championships.
Cuban opposition leader
Rep. Carlos Gimenez, R-Fla., the only Cuban-born member of Congress, is bringing the communist country's opposition leader Rosa Maria Paya to the State of the Union. Paya's father, the late activist Oswaldo Paya, was murdered by the ruling Cuban government.
"She is joining me to denounce the ongoing brutality of Cuba, demand freedom for all political prisoners, and hold the regime accountable for its crimes against humanity," Gimenez said.

‘Big moment’ Biden: White House says Joe is going to hit a home run in State of the Union
By
Eden Villalovas
March 7, 2024 9:24 am
The White House is aware of the significance of the State of the Union address, acknowledging it as a high-stakes moment for President Joe Biden.
Biden is approaching a rematch with former President Donald Trump in November with a persistently low job approval rating. Thursday’s address offers an opportunity for the president to address voter concerns regarding his age and lay out his agenda for a second term, which some question if he can carry out.
White House chief of staff Jeff Zients expressed to multiple outlets that Biden is prepared to rise to the occasion during his address.
“States of the Union are big moments,” Zients told Politico. “You could argue that this is a particularly big moment, and I think there’s no one better at handling high stakes than President Biden.”
“You’re going to see a very energized president,” he added. “This is a big moment. And this president rises to those big moments.”

We should start a poll. Which will he do first, shout or whisper?
Perhaps about 15-20 minutes into the speech he'll start stammering, stuttering and have problems with speech -- someone will come up on stage and walk him off and then they'll announce that he is with paramedics and has possibly had a stroke. That will save him from humility; people will feel sorry for him -- and either Kamel will give the rest of the speech or it will be put on hold (indefinitely).
Joe will step down for health reasons.
00drama Who knows other than I think it's going to be a circus tonight. Then we'll have Trump giving his rebuttal as the speech goes on -- so yet another circus.

It's really quite simple. All the republicans have to do is take Reagan's, "Are you better off now than you were 4 years ago?" question. It's a winning campaign. I'm not sure the Repubs are smart enough to use it though.
Four years ago the country was locked down and unemployment shot up to around 13% and lives were being destroyed and one of the architects of that is running again in 2024
That wouldn’t work for the GOP like it worked for Reagan in both 1980 and 1984

That's all he has....abortion. That is the rallying cry to the left to get out to vote or there will be back alley abortions. They do this every Presidential election. Even the guy running against Ted Cruz is talking abortion, it's all they have.
It's really quite simple. All the republicans have to do is take Reagan's, "Are you better off now than you were 4 years ago?" question. It's a winning campaign. I'm not sure the Repubs are smart enough to use it though.
Agreed. Most people are seeing their spending power dwindle, struggling to feed their families and keep a roof over their heads. Many who have finished their taxes just felt another pinch.
However, the defunding of the police and chaos in the cities started under Trump's watch - that's something that is a huge issue.
The #1 issue though is border security and illegal immigration -- Trump wins on that note. Biden can try to blame him but those in Chicago, NY, CA, etc., know better. They're living it. Some are right now being asked to take in illegals. How's that going to work out for the Joe?

Legit question. Which Joe Biden will show up tonight?

If the Republicans want to sabotage Biden, all they have to do is to bring some little girl within his sight. He cannot think or speak when he spots an underage little girl. He goes all wonkey.

Feds Build a Wall for Joe Biden’s SOTU Address: ‘Walls Work’
Wendell Husebø and Bradley Jaye 7 Mar 2024
Federal authorities constructed a wall surrounding the U.S. Capitol Building for President Joe Biden’s Thursday State of the Union speech, drawing the ire of Republicans who painted a contrast between Biden’s open border policies and the heavily guarded Capitol complex.
The eight-foot black Capitol wall, approved by the Capitol Police Board, could be more heavily guarded on Thursday by law enforcement than the southern border where 1.7 million known “gotaways” escaped into the United States under Biden.
The Capitol Police say Biden’s State of the Union address is a designated National Special Security Event, which requires a “robust” security plan in cooperation with the Secret Service. That plan includes a large law enforcement presence behind a wall to protect the Capitol Building from invasion.
“Democrats are happy to spend taxpayer money on building a wall to secure Biden and other D.C. elites, but they refuse to continue funding for Trump’s border wall that was being built to keep the American people safe,” Alex Bruesewitz of X Strategies exclusively told Breitbart News.
“At least they concede that walls work,” he added.

The President is very substantially late. Not a good start, but let’s give him the benefit of the doubt. I’m sure he had very important things to do, but he is just now getting into the car. They will have to drive very, very quickly, you just don’t want to be late to the State of the Union. They will need Mario Andretti to be at the wheel of the Limo.

The pro-Hamas street theater ahead of the State of the Union was planned and coordinated with the Biden White House, and is designed to help Biden win back the affections of his terrorist base in Dearborn, Michigan, hence the idiotic new pro-Hamas policy announced in his speech.

He's going straight for the jugular tonight, no calls for unity, no gentle oratory that leads to the punch line. It's straight to the 2024 election -- and looks more than a little desperate.
"History is watching," Biden warns. "Just like history watch three years ago on January 6. When insurrectionists storm [inaudible[ capitol [to] place a dagger to threaten American democracy. Many in your we're here on that darkest of days -- saw with our own eyes."
"He condemned those who participated in the Capitol riots as posing the gravest threat to U.S. democracy since the Civil War, but they failed."

BREAKING: Rep. Byron Donalds calls out Biden’s hypocrisy:
“Let's get this straight.
Joe Biden is currently yelling for the American people to pay their fair share of taxes.
But his son committed TAX EVASION.
Now Joe Biden wants to raise OUR taxes?”

: “I’ve ordered strikes to degrade Houthi capabilities and defend U.S. Forces in the region,” Biden says as though that is a mark of strength not an admission of failure.
Houthi strikes on international shipping produced their first casualties this week, and its piracy and terrorism continue unabated.
Those strikes are not achieving their desired effect. Biden is boasting over his impotence.

If you’re an American who’s struggling to provide for your family because real wages are down while inflation skyrockets and crime rages out of control, Joe Biden’s message tonight was that he hates you and couldn’t care less about your problems.
-
I don’t know if he was on Adderall or Mydayis(which lasts longer) but based on what I’ve seen in his day to day speeches, and compared to tonight, no question he was on something
The problem with that is you can become dependent on those and they can come with side effects
He won’t be able to keep that up through a campaign season and he’s too stubborn to see the problem and step down
It’s going to be an interesting several months

Biden's attack on Alabama and IVF was asinine. It was a huge success story on how government is supposed to run. The State Supreme Court found a flaw in the law. The Legislature met shortly afterwards, came together and passed a bill that corrected the flaw, and the governor signed it. That is a rarity in government today. They came together, responded quickly, didn't try to exploit it.
Biden was a day late and a few brain cells short.

Legit question. Which Joe Biden will show up tonight?
Will it be the one with penny slot eyes? Or the Biden with open eyes.
Will it be "angry Biden"? Or the Biden who cannot wait to 'go to bed'?
If the Republicans want to sabotage Biden, all they have to do is to bring some little girl within his sight. He cannot think or speak when he spots an underage little girl. He goes all wonkey.
Answer: The Joe Biden tonight was "angry Biden". But at least his eyes were open a little. He did not do the penny slot squint for most of the speech. Yes. That was the real Biden. No imposter could be that reckless and that STUPID.

Buttigieg hits back at Speaker Johnson’s criticism of Biden’s SOTU address
by Filip Timotija - 03/08/24 8:40 AM ET
Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg on Friday fired back at House Speaker Mike Johnson’s (R-La.) criticism that President Biden’s State of the Union address was “hyper-partisan” and “vitriolic.”
During a Friday morning appearance on “CNN This Morning,” Buttigieg said some of Johnson’s comments were “literally false,” ticking off bipartisan legislation that Biden passed through Congress and signed into law.
“Well, the speaker’s comments are literally false because the President talked about a bipartisan infrastructure, a bipartisan border bill, his bipartisan unity agenda on confronting things like fentanyl and cancer,” Buttigieg said
“It’s a matter of fact, pretty much everything as far as I recall that the president mentioned, there’s something probably 60-70 percent of Americans or more would support.”

Fact Check: President Joe Biden Claims He Will Stop ‘Anyone’ Who Tries to Cut Medicare
Claim: President Joe Biden claimed during Thursday’s State of the Union address that he would stop “anyone” who tries to cut Medicare.
Verdict: False. Biden is actively moving to cut Medicare Advantage, an increasingly popular Medicare option for American seniors.
Biden trotted out the tired rhetorical line that Republicans seek to slash Medicare and Social Security, two popular entitlement programs:
Imagine a future with home care and elder care so seniors and people living with disabilities can stay in their homes and family caregivers get paid what they deserve!
Tonight, let’s all agree once again to stand up for seniors!
Many of my Republican friends want to put Social Security on the chopping block.
If anyone here tries to cut Social Security or Medicare or raise the retirement age I will stop them!

Britt roasted on social media for actorly SOTU response
by Filip Timotija - 03/08/24 11:17 AM ET
Sen. Katie Britt (R-Ala.) was widely criticized on social media for delivering what was called a melodramatic and unnatural State of the Union rebuttal Thursday night.
The first-term senator went after President Biden following his own address over his handling of the economy, the southern border, his age and a slew of other issues, but Britt herself got roasted for the 17-minute speech she delivered from her Montgomery, Ala., home.
Some observers panned the setting — having a senator deliver a major speech from a kitchen — while many others compared her a drama club student or an actor giving a bad audition.

I truly appreciate these threads. I can't honestly say that I have watched a SOTU since 9/11. I did enjoy Reagan's. I actually was going to watch last night. But then he was late as usual, for whatever reason. That's pretty disrespectful. I think it's an Obama thing. And then the parade to the podium was just too much for me. Between watching these people who are supposed to be in charge of our country taking selfies, kissing, hugging...it was just too much for me.
Besides, I'm watching a Gunsmoke-A-Thon and keeping count of how many times Matt was shot, stabbed or kidnapped, lol.
I will say that I'm glad that it appears that he didn't have a major malfunction. Not for his sake. But maybe he didn't look like a total nursing home patient to the rest of the world.

What I remember, and what I compare her response to, is Marco Rubio's response, and Bobby Jindal's response, and other responses that seem to be forgettable. Those were a tad dry, IMHO. I liked Britt's response, and especially that she gave it at the kitchen table where all the issues are said to be discussed in the home -- according to the pundits. Let those who are triggered gripe all they want.
