ABC called it a "primetime address" or something and that it's only happened like 7 times in history

That doesn't sound right, Biden alone has given 30 addresses to the nation like that. Unless they mean very particular circumstances.

Even of the more major addresses I can think of there are more than 7

(in no particular order)

  • Bush on 9/11
  • Obama on the killing of Osama bin Laden
  • Trump on the killing of al-Baghdadi
  • Reagan firing all ATC workers
  • Bush on invading Afghanistan
  • Bush on Hurricane Katrina
  • Carter on the hostages in Iran
  • Nixon's resignation
  • Ford's pardoning of Nixon
  • LBJ on Kennedy's assassination
