In December 2021 speeches delivered two days apart, U.S. President Joe Biden recycled language in one passage about the release of oil from strategic reserves, but the speeches were not given three months apart as claimed on social media. However, in the speeches given on Dec. 1 and Dec. 3, Biden repeated a roughly 60-second portion of text about oil. The speeches were, respectively, about 18 minutes and 14 minutes long overall and differed from each other apart from the passage about oil. That passage referred to a measure that Biden announced days earlier, on Nov. 23, to release oil from the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve (here). These clips of Joe Biden correspond to speeches made within days of each other in 2021, not speeches given months apart.
