Lawrence O'Donnell: Biden's final U.N. speech shows 'the most hopeful story I know' - The Last Word - MSNBC



President Biden delivered his final address at what Daniel Patrick Moynihan called “a dangerous place” – the United Nations. Sen. Moynihan served as Ambassador to the UN and years later learned that his opponents at the U.N. were listening and learning while he spoke, as we can hope they were today while Biden spoke. - Aired on 09/24/2024.

biden is not a great orator, but as a "farewell address" it rates with washington and ike.

surprisingly, i found it to be optimistic and visionary.

But begs us remember how pertinent the information is for today. I look forward to his 11:00 hour. Tonight’s lesson was especially touching as it’s Biden’s last address to this assembly
