At the end of November 2024, information about the curious statement of the US President dispersed on the Internet: allegedly at a solemn dinner in the White House, he agreed and called himself his own husband. We decided to check the reliability of such publications.
Many Russian media reported the reservation of the American politician: ""Vedomosti","Moscow Komsomolets","RBC","Arguments and facts" Lenta.ru, "Evening Moscow","Sight","Gazeta.ru" Life and other journalists cited his quote in the articles: “I am Joe Biden's husband. I am most proud of this title. ” The news was also shared by users of social networks (""VKontakte" X, Facebook) And Platform blog. The popular Telegram channels wrote about this: "The ax live"(949,000 views at the time of writing this analysis),"Live broadcast • News"(847 000),"NE.SAHAR"(289 000),"Solovyov"(218 000),"Observer"(211 000) and others. Besh Some of the publications on social networks and Telegram contains a seven -heating video of the policy of the politician, in Russian -speaking subtitles to which there is a quote mentioned above.
November 22, 2024 US President Joe Biden and his wife Arranged A solemn dinner on the lawn in front of the White House to thank their supporters for their support. The broadcast of the event took place on the official YouTube channel White House.
Unlike the Russian press, large American media did not report any Biden reservations during the reception, although some of them (for example, a television channel C-Span) Published a record of a politician. The video lasting about 7 minutes is almost identical to the broadcast of the White House, except that, in addition to the speech of the US president, it contains general plans for guests of the event. It is to the C-Span video that most of the Russian publications that told about Biden's reservation referred to.
On the channel’s website, the video can be turned on subtitles, and under it is a complete decoding of speech. And in subtitles (the US president pronounces a phrase from viral publications in about the fifth minute), and the decoding really has the words: “I’m Joe Biden’s HusBand. That’s The Title I’m Most Proud of ” - the very ones that bring Russian -speaking journalists. However, if you distract from subtitles and listen to the speech itself, it is quite clear that Biden does not pronounce Joe at all, but “Jill” - that’s what his wife is called. The sound [l] at the end of the name is heard quite clearly. Over the next minute, he thanks his wife and admits to her love, repeating her name several times. Although it sounds in the same way as for the first time, and in the subtitles and description of the video the name of the first lady during this fragment is indicated correctly.
Under the decoding on the C-SPAN website, it is specified that the text was compiled on the basis of “failed” subtitles (most likely automatically generated and not subtracted by the editor). IN stenigram Biden's speeches on the White House website are the phrase “I’m jill biden’s husband” and there are no drops about reservations that stenographers from time to time Use. Apparently, artificial intelligence incorrectly recognized the name Jill in Biden’s speech, and none of the editors of the TV channel (as well as Russian publications that wrote about the reservation) listened to the performance itself and did not double -check the correctness of the decoding. At the same time, users of social networks and Telegram mainly lead a fragment from the broadcast of the White House, where there is no problem with subtitles - on YouTube, the politician is deciphered correctly.
The earliest publication about the reservation, which “verified” was found, was posted in the Telegram channel “RIA Novosti: USA»November 23 at 03:54 Moscow time. It is impossible to establish from the video used in the post, but there is no body kit (as the design elements are called in professional slang: for example, the channel logo, a running line, windows, frames, etc.), as in a white house broadcast, so, most likely, the blogger took it from the publication of C-SPAN or cut the official video. Unlike later (and more common) versions of the video with this statement by Biden, there were no subtitles on the video in the earliest publication - only the author’s accompanying commentary reported the reservation.
82-year-old Biden really has some Problems With diction, which is why the media and Internet users repeatedly ridiculed him for reservations-both real and invented. So, “verified” already refuted that Biden allegedly attributed to the United States Victory over cancer Or stated that Born in Israel. In July 2024, the Internet was already diverging videoWhere Biden allegedly called himself his husband - in fact, at that time he also spoke of his wife Jill, quite clearly pronouncing her name. But even then, some journalists and Internet users chose to ignore the consonance of their names and putting the American president not quite sane.
Thus, Biden was not stipulated during his speech at a solemn dinner in the White House and did not call himself his husband. Apparently, the confusion occurred due to the consonance of the names Joe and Jill and their incorrect recognition by artificial intelligence, with the help of which subtitles were generated in the video of the American C-Span television channel. After that, Russian journalists, and behind them, other Internet users, without listening to the politician, wrote about the allegedly happening with Bayden Kurye.
