The president makes remarks during a briefing from federal and state fire agency officials at the National Interagency Fire Center in Boise, Idaho.

The White House abruptly cut the feed of President Biden's briefing on wildfires with federal and state officials. 

During Monday's visit to Boise, Idaho, Biden received a briefing about the ongoing wildfires that have plagued several states out west. 

While Biden spoke for much of the briefing, at one point he said he wanted to hear more from George Geissler of the National Association of State Foresters.

BIDEN AGAIN SUGGESTS HE'S NOT CALLING THE SHOTS: ‘I’M SUPPOSED TO STOP AND WALK OUT'

"Can I ask you a question?" Biden asked. 

"Of course," Geissler responded. 

"One of the things that I've been working on with some others is —" Biden said before being cut off mid-sentence.

The White House did not immediately respond to Fox News' request for comment. 

This isn't the first time the White House intervened in blocking Biden from being heard by the general public. Last month, the president's audio feed was cut as he was about to respond to a reporter's question on his administration's military withdrawal deadline from Afghanistan.

In March, the White House cut the feed as Biden said he was "happy to take questions" while speaking to Democratic lawmakers at a virtual event. 

This latest incident comes just days after Politico reported how White House staffers will "either mute [Biden] or turn off his remarks" out of "anxiety" that he will veer away from "the West Wing’s carefully orchestrated messaging."

White House press secretary Jen Psaki previously admitted during an interview that Biden is often advised by her staff not to take questions. 

Biden raised eyebrows last week when he told a crowd, "I‘m supposed to stop and walk out of the room" at a White House event following his prepared remarks.

Ohio town pays respects to Navy corpsman killed in Afghanistan

 Saw this today on the local news.

Navy Corpsman Maxton Soviak

When was the last time you saw a military flyover at a high school?

Talk about respect!!!

-------------------------------------------------------
 

U.S. Navy carry team transfers the remains of Navy Hospitalman Maxton W. Soviak of Berlin Heights, Ohio, Aug. 29, 2021 at Dover Air Force Base, Delaware. Soviak was assigned to 1st Marine Regiment, 1st Marine Division, Camp Pendleton, Calif. (Jason Minto/U.S. Air Force)

BERLIN HEIGHTS, Ohio (Tribune News Service) — Life in a small Ohio town stopped Wednesday to honor the 13 soldiers killed in the attack last month during the evacuation of Americans and others from an airport in Afghanistan.

This was personal as they were welcoming one of their own back home who perished in the attack.

Shopkeepers temporarily closed. Mechanics left their garages. And office workers skipped lunch and gathered outside of the courthouse. American flags covered the landscape of an already picturesque town.

People lined the streets as a long procession of motorcycles, police cars and other emergency vehicles made its way closer to Berlin Heights after a long, somber drive from Cleveland's Hopkins Airport to bring Navy Corpsman Maxton Soviak home.

Many shed a tear as the hearse passed carrying the young man they watched grow up as a boy and who grew into a man as he went off to serve his country in the Navy and eventually served next to Marines as a medic.

The procession made its way through Milan and then past Edison High School where he graduated from in 2017 and eventually to his hometown in nearby Berlin Heights.

His funeral will be Monday at the high school football stadium.

Across from the town square in Milan not far from a statue of famous inventor Thomas Edison, who was born there, stood Bob Doerner.

He's a retired farmer now but once served in the Navy back in the late 1950s and early 1960s.

This loss hit close to home and close to his heart.

Doerner said he didn't know Soviak personally but he knew of his family. It's like that in small towns like Milan and Berlin Heights.

"If you don't know someone, you know someone who does," he said.

Doerner said he did watch Soviak play sports and shares in the loss of a young man as if he was one of his own.

"This area is a big family," he said.

He knows the danger of serving in the military and knows first hand the worry of a parent of someone in uniform.

His own son served as a Navy rescue swimmer in the Persian Gulf War and has a grandson who is now a pilot in the Air Force.

"It could have been anyone of us," he said.

Soviak, 22, was a sailor assigned to 1st Marine Regiment, 1st Marine Division, Camp Pendleton, Calif., as a hospital corpsman.

He was killed Aug. 26 along with the other soldiers and some 90 Afghans during an attack by a pair of suicide bombers at the Abbey Gates of Hamid Karzai International Airport in Kabul during the frantic rush to evacuate Americans and Afghans after the country fell to the Taliban.

The Navy has already honored Soviak and posthumously advanced the sailor to the rank of Hospital Corpsman Third Class.

But on this day, it was time for others in his hometown to honor the fallen soldier.

Hundreds of motorcycles, police cars, fire trucks and military organizations were part of a motorcade that stretched for miles as it made its way from the Ohio Turnpike to the funeral home.

Police and fire departments from throughout Northwest and Northeast Ohio made the trek. Even police motorcycle officers from the Columbus Police Department made the 110-mile drive.

It took almost 20 minutes for the procession to pass. And when the last vehicle did drive off in the distance, most of those gathered lingered for a moment or two longer. Then they clapped to honor one of their own.

Among them was Jymmie Wetherbee, who stood out in the crowd in his old active duty Navy uniform.

The Wellington resident served five years in the Navy and now works with the Disabled American Veterans Department of Ohio.

He's no stranger to military funerals and serves on the honor guard at many rites. But usually they aren't as young as Soviak.

He usually wears his veteran darker uniform to such gatherings but on this day it just seem right to wear his crisp white active duty uniform.

"He's one of us," he said. "This is never easy -- especially for someone as young as he was."

On a tip from Ed Kilbane 

After all we have seen lately it should've been "Humiliation".
