<p>President Joe Biden appears to have outdone himself with the latest in a long series of tall tales — that range from minor exaggerations to partial fabrications — telling a crowd that the late President Ronald Reagan had once made him an extraordinary offer in an effort to save his life.</p>
<p>Biden was referring to the brain aneurysm he suffered in February of 1988, and he credited Reagan with offering him the use of &#8220;Air Force — Helicopter One&#8221; to make sure that he was able to get the emergency medical care that he needed.</p>
<p><strong>WATCH:</strong></p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">Biden claims Ronald Reagan sent &quot;Air Force Helicopter One&quot; to take him to the hospital when he had a brain aneurysm in the 1980s.</p>
<p>His story &quot;is not supported by either his own autobiography or by Reagan’s daily presidential diary,&quot; according to <a href="https://twitter.com/stevennelson10?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@stevennelson10</a>. <a href="https://t.co/hJ9aSy0cud">pic.twitter.com/hJ9aSy0cud</a></p>

<p>Biden told the story as part of his <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/speeches-remarks/2023/12/11/remarks-by-president-biden-on-the-city-of-philadelphia-receiving-a-safer-grant-award-to-fund-the-philadelphia-fire-department-philadelphia-pa/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">opening remarks</a> on Monday congratulating the city of Philadelphia for receiving a &#8220;SAFER Grant Award to Fund the Philadelphia Fire Department:&#8221;</p>
<blockquote><p><em>I — I would not be here were it not for my local fire company in Wilmington, Delaware. They saved my life. I had a cranial aneurysm. I wasn’t — it was the middle of a snowstorm. Not a joke.</em></p>
<p><em>I couldn’t figure out how they were going to — President Reagan was nice enough to send Air Force — Helicopter One to take me down, but it couldn’t fly.  And so, my fire department — my fire department came up, put me in the back, and took me on — in a snow — in a heavy snow on the day I went down to Walter Reed, because that’s where I had to get for this operation.</em></p>
<p><em>I got there for a nine-hour operation that saved my life. I — not a joke. My firefighters — the guys I grew up with — they saved my life.</em></p></blockquote>
<p>And while the story about the aneurysm was true — Biden did have two separate <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/1988/05/04/us/biden-resting-after-surgery-for-second-brain-aneurysm.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">lifesaving surgeries</a> to correct aneurysms, one on each side of his brain <i data-stringify-type="italic">— </i>the rest of his story appears to be at least partially fabricated.</p>

<p>The New York Times <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/1988/02/13/us/biden-is-operated-on-for-aneurysm-in-brain.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> that Biden was transferred to Walter Reed from St. Francis Hospital in Wilmington, Delaware — and as The New York Post&#8217;s Steven Nelson noted, neither Biden&#8217;s own autobiography nor Reagan&#8217;s presidential diary made any mention of any other transport being offered by the White House at the time.</p>
<p>According to a <a href="https://nypost.com/2023/12/11/news/biden-misnames-presidents-chopper-claims-reagan-sent-it-to-him-post-aneurysm/?utm_campaign=nypost&amp;utm_source=twitter&amp;utm_medium=social" target="_blank" rel="noopener">report</a> from The New York Post, Reagan&#8217;s notes from that day did mention Marine One — the name given to any helicopter on which the president is traveling — but only to say that inclement weather had prevented even Reagan himself from using it that morning.</p>
<p>Biden&#8217;s account of his trip to Walter Reed — given in great detail in his 2007 autobiography, &#8220;Promises to Keep&#8221; — also made no mention of any offer from the White House.</p>
<p>&#8220;Weather conditions made a medevac helicopter flight too dangerous. I had no idea what time it was, but I found myself on a gurney, my test results strapped to my chest, being wheeled out the doors of Saint Francis [hospital in Wilmington, Del.] toward a waiting ambulance,&#8221; Biden wrote at the time.</p>
<p>Biden went on during Monday&#8217;s remarks to repeat the often exaggerated tale of the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/cnn-praises-bidens-maui-speech-where-he-compared-historic-fire-to-small-kitchen-fire" target="_blank" rel="noopener">small kitchen fire</a> that took place in his Delaware home — which firefighters reportedly contained in under 20 minutes — saying that the fire department had saved his wife and his home (and his beloved &#8217;67 Corvette).</p>
