He needs to speak to the cops in Texas. He can show them what a real hero does in time of danger. Also he did have a gun and still stopped the gun man.

How to destroy a country in less than 3 yrs. Exhibit A

A President who acknowledges brave heros. Unlike someone who sells fantasy pictures of himself in super hero and combat gear. 👌

What a humble hero! We are all so very proud of you, Brandon! 🥰 You represent the true Americans…those, as President Biden said, rise to the occasion and always do what’s right. And thank you, White House, for recording the call and putting it out so we can all get to know Brandon and see President Biden’s authenticity! A double blessing! Brandon, wishing you and your family Blessings in Absolute Abundance! ✨💖✨

Thank you President Biden. And love for Brandon Tsay. ❤

he's talking to no one on the phone

[robertomancha]

This seems staged. It would be more believable if he had the phone upside down with the wire coming out the top.

What kind of president does this? I'm 66yo and I have never known a president that took the time and offered thanks and gratitude to a well deserving citizen with a personal phone call. This young man deserves gratitude and I am grateful for his courage. What a wonderful guy...I mean both of them! 2 great men for the history books! Thank you young man🤗. Thank you old man, 😉 President Biden. This just overjoyed my heart. To a dying old bagg like me, this reinvented how great of a country (the ppl) I live in...I had thought it was lost.

He read a script. All props to this kid, what he did was truly heroic.

[DeSledge]

Wtg Potus! I'm proud to say you're my President, so much empathy.

The lawyer father says: “I think the focus should be shifted to victims right.” And then he sends his son Brandon on 20 more interviews letting him relive his trauma over and over again. But then this is an interview you should better not deny.

It's nice to have a president who doesn't make it about himself.

[Puckluck]

Wow a regular person disarmed a shooter, where were the cop's outside waiting for it to be over and arresting parents while they wait?

[kerrylynnparsons]

One decent guy talking to another decent guy!!! Biden to hero!!!

[timatkinson]

Thank God we have a decent President in the White House!!!

[cynthianaylor]

This is a person who is truly a hero and a Patriot . Ironic that his name is Brandon. I bet the Republicans are clutching their pearls.
