Former President Joe Biden breaking his silence, speaking out powerfully against Donald Trump to a packed house, giving him a standing ovation.
He spoke in front of the LGBTQ Rights Forum in Washington, D.C.
His speech was an apotheosis to empathy, to democracy, to hope, and to fighting back against this Trump regime, Gestapo.
Let's take a look at what former President Biden said at this incredible speech. And he spoke to young people too.
And he said, I know there are young people right now who may be scrolling through social media to know, am I loved during these dark times under the Trump regime?
And I'm here to tell you that you are and that we stand with you here. Play this clip.
Folks,
a lot has gotten lost in all the noise
with terms like DEI and being weaponized and people's basic identity. turned into political football.
Right now,
in no small part because of the victory all this national, on our in our national debate,
the young people sitting alone at home as I speak,
literally, behind closed doors,
scrolling through social media,
staring at the ceiling,
literally, wondering whether they have taught you, you are, and I've talked to many of these young men and women,
wondering whether we'll
ever be loved,
will they ever marry,
will ever have a family,
ever truly be accepted for who they are.
So my message to young people is this.
Just be you.
Be who you are.
You are loved.
You're heard.
And you're increasingly understanding you belong. You belong, you belong, you belong.
I mean it.
Things are changing.
That's what a leader does, standing with the people, as opposed to Donald Trump, who uses the government and his regime to inflict pain, to cruelly target the LGBTQ community, marginalized communities.
Frankly, anybody other than his billionaire oligarch buds, then you have former President Biden talking about his record, creating 16 million new jobs and unemployment dropping to a 50-year low.
Contrast that to what's going on under this Trump regime. Job losses up 53%,
the highest or 54%,
the highest since the Great Recession. 1.1 million jobs have been lost.
Inflation is surging under this Trump regime.
That was not the case under Biden, who brought down unemployment, who is fighting for our economy. Here, play this clip.
That's what we worked so damn hard to do during my administration.
In those four years, we created 16 million new jobs.
Unemployment dropped.
Unemployment dropped to a 50-year low. We lowered the price of everything from health care to cost of college to junk fees and airline tickets and credit cards.
We made a lot of progress.
We had so much more we had to do to make life affordable for every American.
And it's this work that's motivated so many of you to step up, put your name on the ballot, and run for office.
LGBT candidates across the country running not only to ensure equality for every American, but also to ensure that every American has access to opportunities they deserve.
Next up, you've got former President Biden talking about Trump and MAGA, how they try to distort the fight for equality and make LGBTQ rights somehow scary.
And former President Biden says, What this is about,
it's about empathy, it's about decency. That's what it's about.
Whereas the Trump regime wants to use people as props, as wedge issues to divide us. Here, play this clip right here.
Donald Trump
and the Magyan Republic are trying to distort and derail our fight for equality. They're trying to turn it into something scary, something sinister.
But folks, it's really not about anything that's all that complicated. At its core, it's about
making every American,
given the opportunity to be treated with basic decency, dignity, and respect they all deserve.
That's what every single American deserves, every American.
This administration is trying to use those issues as a wedge to further divide the country.
But there's nothing more American than the notion of equality. Nothing, nothing, nothing.
And folks,
it's a struggle.
as old as the country's founder.
That's why many of us are in this room room today.
We also know
that the fight ahead is about more than equality. It's about opportunity.
It's about opportunity.
It's about making sure every American
has a chance to make a decent living.
It's about having equal access to quality health care. Make it affordable.
It's about
they can pay any rent, send their kids to college, pay for the grocery bills.
It's about making sure every American can come home at the end of the day, look their kid in the eye, and say, honey, it's going to be okay.
It's that basic.
It is that basic.
You've heard me say before,
my dad used to say,
it's all about can you look your child in the eye and say it's going to be okay. It's called the holiday credit dip and it hits millions of people every year, and most don't see it coming.

Disclaimer, individual results may vary and are not guaranteed. Next, former President Biden talks about how his message to all of us today, to all who love our country, is as follows.
Here, play this clip.
And so, you've heard me say before that when I was growing up, whenever something bad happened, I used to be a stutter, and people made a lot of fun of you, a lot of other things.
My dad would look at me and say, Joey, just get up.
Get up, Joey.
Get up.
Well, folks, that's my message to all of us today.
To all who love our country. To all,
all of us who are dismayed by the present state of the Union. This is no time to give up.
It's time to get up.
Get up and fight back.
Get up.
Continue to fight.
And what's the fight all about?
It's not high fight. It's about protecting the Constitution.
It's about protecting the Constitution.
Some of you are old enough to remember back in 2012.
I went on to meet the press.
Got myself in a bit of trouble.
But good trouble.
You know.
I just couldn't remain silent. We had this whole plan to let things.
Anyway.
I told the truth I expressed my support for gay marriage a little earlier than some folks had been expecting it
well that comment got all the attention
and folks he talks about how there's still a lot of work to do a lot of challenges ahead of us keep the hope in the face of everything keep the hope here play this clip
Today though we know there's much more work to do and And the challenges ahead can feel daunting, particularly in the face of everything we're seeing coming out of this reactionary White House.
You know,
we're all here today for the same reason. Same reason.
It's all because we believe in the power of our democracy to pull the nation together. You know, our worst moments, actually, we're the only country in the world.
that's gone through every crisis and come out stronger than we went into the crisis, every Every time.
America's the only country. Also is founded on an idea.
We're unique. Not a joke.
It's not just, you know, America. It's true.
We're the only country founded on an idea.
Every other country in the world is founded on geographic boundaries, religion, ethnicity,
but we are an idea.
A strong idea. is stronger and more powerful than any dictator or any army.
And that in America we hold these truths to be self-evident. All men are created equal.
All deserve to be treated with dignity and throughout their lives.
And all of us, each and every one of us, deserves that.
Now, as I was watching former President Biden there, I just was reflecting on the interview that I did with him at this exact time last year.
Remember, I did that interview in the Roosevelt room in the White House with him, and I asked him what he wanted his legacy to be.
His words have stuck with me today, that he wants his legacy to be that he's someone who kept his word. He's someone who, when he said he was going to do something, he did it.
And to me, these words are so powerful because this current regime is all about fraud. It's all about fake deals,
fake peace medals,
cover-ups.
Here's what former President Biden said to me when he was still the President of the United States, and I interviewed him at the Roosevelt Room, play this clip. When history is all told,
how do you want to be remembered? What do you want your legacy to be?
I kept my word that
when I said I was going to do something, I did.
And that
my focus has always been
about
how to give ordinary people a shot.
You've probably heard me say it before. My dad used to say, Joey, your job's about a lot more than a paycheck.
It's about your dignity. It's about respect.
It's about being able to look your kid in the eye and say, I'm just going to be okay and mean it.
It's about being able to be yourself and focus on people who need some help.
And the vast majority of the American people, all they want is a chance. Just a chance.
And they'll do fine. You see hope? I do.
I am hopeful.
Now, can we just contrast for a moment that speech from former President Biden at the same time Donald Trump was giving himself fake peace medals from FIFA?
And then Donald Trump was doing a White House concert event for himself, talking about we're the hottest country. We're so hot, everyone thinks we're hot.
And he's like, when I spoke in front of FIFA and I said, aren't we hot? Nobody objected to the hotness. So thus we must be hot.
Here, play this clip.
We're the hottest. I said it this morning.
A year ago,
we were a dead country.
And now we're the hottest country anywhere in the world. And that's said by every single leader in the world.
And I said it this morning the same thing.
And we had a lot of the world's leaders there at FIFA. And nobody stood up and objected.
Nobody smiled. Nobody rolled their eyes.
We're the hottest country anywhere in the world.
And contrast former President Biden's speech to what Donald Trump says. I mean, think about this past week.
Donald Trump attacked the Somalians, all of them. He said, the Somalian people are garbage.
He goes, they're garbage people who contribute nothing. But just think about the message that that sends.
How racist, xenophobic, hateful that is. But here's what Donald Trump said here, play this clip.
I'm understanding, and you're going to look at that scout.
I hear they ripped off Somalians, ripped off that state for billions of dollars, billions, every year, billions of dollars,
and they contribute nothing.
The welfare is like 88%.
They contribute nothing.
I don't want them in our country, I'll be honest with you, okay? Somebody would say, oh, that's not politically correct. I don't care.
I don't want them in our country.
Their country is no good for a reason. Their country stakes,
and we don't want them in our country. I could say that about other countries, too.
And with Donald Trump's behavior, we've seen him crash in the polls. We've seen him lose support amongst young people.
Take a look at this. Gives you a little glimpse of Trump's crashing poll numbers.
This among young people here, play this clip. Huge.
I mean, just take a look at Donald Trump's net approval rating among those under the age of 30. You go back to February.
It was plus 10 points. Look at this drop.
I'm laughing because it's down to minus 46 points in the net approval. That is a drop of 56 points among voters under the age of 30.
No, historically analogous to that.
This type of drop happening so quickly is just, you know, I spend my days in the spreadsheets. You just don't see drops like that.
And there you have it, folks. Let me know what you think.
Hit subscribe. Let's get to 6 million.
