Former President Donald Trump, amid his third presidential bid, mocked Biden's repeated use of the word "folks."

Trump has brought up Biden's use of the word multiple times on his Truth Social platform during the speech.

"Too much use of the word 'folks!'" Trump wrote.

Biden is touting U.S. support for Ukraine, but Americans are divided over whether the country should be granted more aid.

The latest national NBC News poll finds Americans evenly split on the issue, with 49% saying Congress should provide more funding and weapons for Ukraine in its war with Russia and 47% saying Congress should not.

Biden urged Congress to codify abortion rights, after the Supreme Court last year "took away" the constitutional right to an abortion.

"Congress must restore the right the Supreme Court that was taken away in Roe v. Wade and protect Roe v. Wade," Biden said, criticizing states that have begun enforcing what he called "extreme abortion bans."

"Make no mistake about it; if Congress passes a national abortion ban, I will veto it," Biden said.

Biden took aim at companies that levy hidden surcharges on consumers and called on Congress to pass the Junk Fee Prevention Act.

The president pointed to surprise "resort fees" that hotels add onto bills, service fees on concert tickets and charges for switching phone providers. "Give me a break,” he said.

"Americans are tired of being played for suckers," Biden said. "Pass the Junk Fee Prevention Act so companies stop ripping us off. For too long workers have been getting stiffed — not anymore."

He also criticized non-compete agreements that companies force workers to sign.

Biden acknowledged the family of Tyre Nichols, referring to his mother, RowVaughn Wells, and stepfather, Rodney Wells, who were invited to the speech, and called for reform that would hold law enforcement “to higher standards, and help them succeed in keeping everyone safe.”

Nichols, 29, died three days after he was brutally beaten by Memphis police officers at a traffic stop last month, and video released from the brutal beating led to fresh calls for police reform.

"There are no words to describe the heartbreak and grief of losing a child," Biden said. "But imagine what it’s like to lose a child at the hands of the law. Imagine having to worry whether your son or daughter will come home from walking down the street or playing in the park or just driving their car."

Biden went on to say he has "never had to have the talk" with his children that "many Black and brown families have had with their children" about how to behave if they're stopped by law enforcement.

"Imagine having to worry like that every single time your kid got in the car," Biden said, adding, "Our children have a right to come home safely."

"We have to do better," he said.

Biden called on Congress to pass paid family leave, which Democrats passed in the House in the last Congress, but the party was unable to come to an agreement on it in the Senate.

"Let’s make sure working parents can afford to raise a family with sick days," he said. "Paid family medical leave, affordable child care."

The president called on Congress to restore the full child tax credit, which he said has given "millions of parents some breathing room and cut child poverty in half to the lowest level in history." Expanding the child tax credit was a major piece of Biden's Build Back Better legislation, which also stalled in the Senate thanks to opposition from moderate Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., and others.

He also called on Congress to pass legislation to make preschool universal nationwide.

“If you want America to have the best-educated workforce, let’s finish the job by providing access to preschool for 3- and 4-year-olds," he said.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., and other Republicans booed Biden and shouted "Liar!" at him after he accused the GOP of threatening to take away Americans' Medicare and Social Security.

It was the most animated reaction from Republicans the entire night.

"Instead of making the wealthy pay their fair share, some Republicans want Medicare and Social Security to sunset every five years," Biden told lawmakers. "That means if Congress doesn’t vote to keep them, those programs will go away.

"Other Republicans say if we don’t cut Social Security and Medicare, they’ll let America default on its debt for the first time in our history," Biden said.

Those remarks fired up Greene and others. Sporting a white fur coat, Greene stood up, made a thumbs-down gesture and yelled, "Liar!" Others, including Rep. Ashley Hinson, R-Iowa, also said Biden was lying. And Rep. Lisa McClain, R-Mich., waved her finger at Biden.

Seizing on some Republicans’ threats to repeal one of his signature pieces of legislation, Biden jokingly wished those lawmakers “lots of luck in your senior year,” prompting laughter across the chamber.

“Some members here are threatening — and I know it’s not an official party position … to repeal the Inflation Reduction Act,” Biden said, prompting applause from Republicans.

Lifting his hand, Biden responded to the clapping, saying, “That’s OK, that’s fair,” before he improvised one of the more comical lines of the night.

“As my football coach used to say, lots of luck in your senior year,” he said, prompting loud laughter.

“Make no mistake, if you try to do anything to raise the cost of prescription drugs, I will veto it,” he said.  

“Inflation has fallen every month for the last six months, while take home-pay has gone up,” Biden said.

Those figures are correct: Inflation has been falling since July, and take-home pay has gone up every month of Biden’s administration. But until this summer, inflation was so high it undermined the on-paper gains for Americans. Real weekly wages — which considers both inflation and hours worked — began rising after the second quarter this year, inching up 1.4% since the summer, according to quarterly measures.

Average hourly earnings of all employees rose from $29.92 in January 2021 to $33.03 last month, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. But median usual weekly real earnings, which take into account inflation, slid from $373 at the start of Biden’s term to $364 in January.

When Biden took office, inflation — as measured by the Consumer Price Index for things like food, electricity, apparel, shelter and gasoline — was rising at an annual rate of 1.4%. Over the last year, it rose rapidly, peaking at 9.1% before it subsided to 6.5% in the most recent government data available.
