Roll Call ?@rollcallHOH: Biden Will Host Google Hangout: http://roll.cl/WnKjyb
Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. will get his Google on, hosting a fireside hangout Thursday for Google+ adopters interested in hearing more about the administrations anti-gun violence plans.
The webcast is scheduled for 1:45 p.m. to 2:15 p.m. Biden will be joined by ex-Apple guru Guy Kawasaki and YouTube personality Philip DeFranco whose living-room-like set features a framed picture of weapons (a handgun, grenade, Buck knife and machine gun) arranged to spell out LOVE for a free-form discussion moderated by PBS NewsHour correspondent Hari Sreenivasan.
President Barack Obama did the Google hangout thing in January 2012. VPOTUS made headlines on Jan. 18 when he gave Diamond Joe Biden the business during an Ask Me Anything that The Onion folks held on reddit.
Q for @reddit AMA with my @TheOnion pal: A Trans-Am? Ever look under the hood of a Corvette? #imavetteguy VP, Biden fired off on Twitter, much to the delight of social media users everywhere.
This week, the White House will continue a series of conversations with top administration officials on Google+. On Thursday, January 24 at 1:45 p.m. ET, Vice President Biden will join the latest Fireside Hangout a 21st century take on FDRs famous radio addresses to talk about reducing gun violence.
During the hangout hosted by Google and moderated by Hari Sreenivasan from PBS NewsHour, Vice President Biden will discuss the White House policy recommendations on reducing gun violence.
