The White House just dropped 27 short historical vignettes of what appear to be AI-generated videos of American historical figures with their animated portraits telling their story...

As a timeframe, Donald Trump's use of "two weeks" isn't just frequent, per some articles. It's habitual.
He's used that timeframe, per our database:
• 1168 times in 698 unique events
• 691 times in 371 unique events just as president
More this weekend, with data...
The president talks, we write it down. Okay, we do a little more than that, but it definitely includes that :-)

1/2: So far, Donald Trump has done a record 7 phoners in 24 hours. He's never done more than 5 as president.

No, thank you for flagging! Keeps us honest!
To your original question: we transcribe and proofread them ourselves. Have a lot of automation but humans (unless the transcript is labeled AI, which we sometimes release until proofreading is done and it is always labeled as such) proofread and check every word. This was proofread.
Hello. That was fast. 100% he said “but.” From the context, it’s not impossible he may have misspoken, but we transcribe as spoken and he definitely said “but.”
In golf terms, we play it as it lies…
Hello. We are double checking now. Always possible we missed something in proofreading. Will report back shortly.
Last point: The Trump WH's scrubbing of transcripts makes the existence of outside databases, like @factba.se, all the more valuable. Here's my full story for CNN www.cnn.com/2025/05/22/m...

A look at the public distribution of presidential events -- via transcripts and video, for the last three administrations.

There's a reason it's important to have a free and independent source of this kind of information. We're glad to be of service in The Fact Cave. You can always all the transcripts (and TS posts) at Roll Call Factba.se

2/3. It's also the longest since 1935, but we're missing video for 15 of the 91 years, so can't be 100% certain.
Fun fact: since Reagan (and since 1935, with gaps noted), the five longest joint addresses were either Donald Trump or Bill Clinton. Top 5 by length:
1/2: Full proofread transcript of Donald Trump's address to the joint session of Congress.
Duration: 01:39:41 -- longest address to a joint session since at least 1982 (that's as far back as our video goes consistently).

First on-the-record schedule release via the White House pool today....
rollcall.com/factbase/tru...
We're waiting for the WHPO to start sending out guidance, but we have the presidential calendar live and populating.
Are you still hitting the issue? We were converting back over for the new administration, so you may have hit a glitch, but scroll / search appears fine right now...
[Edit: Looks like we got caught in email list maintenance on 1/4. Re-signed up]
Just a quick note: The White House has not sent a daily calendar since Jan 3rd (for the 4th and 5th). We're piecing together the rest from Week Aheads and pool reports, but there may be a delay until they start doing it again.

The interview with @kwelkernbc and @realDonaldTrump on @NBCNews's @MeetThePress ends a 33-day gap between public interviews. The gap is not unusual. It's the 8th time during his term or transition there that there was a gap >= 4 weeks.
