What is Biden administration?

13 federal district judges have faced impeachment resolutions in the House since the new administration took office, compared to zero during the Biden administration.

“I think we are now up to 13 different federal district judges against whom impeachment resolutions have been introduced in the House of Representatives.”

Eileen Guo distinguishing between government displeasure and coercive government pressure on platforms.

“It's one thing to say to Facebook, hey, we don't like this content. The second piece is and if you don't do what we want, we will take some kind of regulatory or other action against you. And that was not really happening during the Biden administration.”

The current wave of challenges to the executive branch comes from judges across the entire country, not just a handful of strategically chosen district judges in Texas as critics allege.

“The data set suggests that this is not just, you know, what we saw during the Biden administration, which is a handful of handpicked district judges in Texas trying to dictate national policy. This is, you know, a universe of judges from across the country looking at an executive branch acting in ways they've never seen before.”

The Global Engagement Center shifted focus to disinformation under Trump, not Biden, cutting against the narrative that it was a Biden-era censorship instrument.

“The GEC really shifted its focus to look at disinformation in this way under the Trump administration.”

The Biden administration's final LNG export study found the vast majority of scenarios analyzed were positive toward LNG, but the administration selectively cited tail-end negative scenarios to justify its export pause.

“The findings were actually very positive towards LNG. And there was a whole host of scenarios that were studied, but the ones that were picked, which were kind of on a tail of all studies are the ones that said you shouldn't do it. But the vast majority consensus scenarios said that LNG was actually beneficial.”

Chinese AI leaders raised AI safety concerns unprompted, contradicting Biden-era AI policy officials who predicted no safety discussion would occur in China.

“The thing which was surprising was the extent to which people brought up the issue of AI safety. And I say that was surprising because my friends who had done AI policy in the Biden administration had primed me to expect that there would be no mention of safety in China.”

The Biden administration meeting Marc Andreessen has cited as evidence of government threats to pick AI winners likely never happened: reporters found no one involved who remembers it.

“I have tried to back this up. I have tried to find I've talked to many people who would have been in a meeting like this. No one remembers it happening like this. So this may be a convenient fiction that Mark Andre has decided to tell.”

Biden-era inflation peaked at roughly 9.5 percent annualized, the highest rate in approximately 48 years, per Vance.

“Under the Biden administration, we had inflation, I think, at 9 12% annualized. That's the highest rate in about 48 years.”

The U.S. window to tighten export controls on U.S.-origin or U.S.-designed chips reaching Russia via China has closed, with the opportunity effectively lost after the Biden administration.

“The cat is probably out of the bag where further export controls on this technology is probably lost. There was probably an opportunity of coming out of the Biden administration to continue to clamp down on the export of US origin chips or design chips and that clearly is now gone.”
