- Jelly Roll gives powerful testimony to Congress on fentanyl | The country music star was once a drug dealer and in and out of detention facilities. Now, he says he wants to be part of the solution to stop overdose deaths to fentanyl.
Jelly Roll testimony: www.wfmynews2.com/article/new...
For someone who claims to be uneducated, he is very well spoken. This was an incredible speech.
He is a caring democrat but doesn't know it yet.
@@tonynunez6539 he doesn't care for politics anyway, both sides don't care about people anyway
@@tonynunez6539there’s no such thing as a caring republican or democratic politician
@tonynunez6539 I would hope the caring democrat would not exist today, as they would have all been radicalized seeing the democrat president of the most interventionist nation in the world neglecting to intervene on behalf of Palestinians, instead funneling money into Israel
@@auroral0realis very sad world we live in.
“I was a part of the problem. I am here now standing as a man that wants to be a part of the solution”
Absolutely beautiful
Somebody put this man on a ballot.
After tattoo removal
I’d vote for him!
Do you smart guys even know what the bill says? It's pointless and will just let other countries do it and fill the gap. This guy is a complete fool.
I totally agree
dude only has a few years left LOL
Wow.
You spoke more eloquently than anybody you’re speaking to.
You showed more integrity than anybody else up there.
You’re Not a dem or republican. That makes you a true American free to think for yourself.
Good job man.
Thank you!!!!!
💯💯💯💯
I want you to know Jelly Roll that you have been a part of both of my Daughters sobriety they are huge followers of you Haley and Bunny. I too over the last year become a fan after my Daughters introduced me to your music. You do make a difference! Keep up the good work! You are an awesome witness of problem and hopefully a solution.
Thank you for being you and using your platform to help others. You have made a huge difference in my family and my daughters. ❤
Respectfully a grateful other
I don’t know you or your daughters, but I’m so happy they’re sober!
That almost made me cry.
I've lost friends and relatives RIP
Very powerful speech. Truth and passion. Hopefully, it touched the hearts of those he spoke to. Even more hopeful they do something about it.
Amen . To that .
I seen jelly roll n struggle n Kaitlynn in alb N.M ! Absolutely awesome 🔥
Man, I thought I was in church for a second there. I was like let me get my Bible. He spoke that truth!!! Can I get an Amen? 🙏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🙌🏾
Amen
I wanna get on my knee's a please jesus with my powerful mouth!
Dude knocked it out of the park. What an incredible speaker!
This video gives me hope. I grew up in a house of addiction, my family has lost so many and suffered so much from drugs. I lost my sister, niece, brother-in-law, and cousin to drugs as well as friends. My mom struggled with addiction my whole life, although she was clean at the time of her death. People who have not experienced the pain and suffering of addiction firsthand have no idea what it does to not only the user but also those who love them. Please keep fighting the fight Jelly Roll...we need more people like you to bring this to light, thank you!
My parents got caught up in the opioid crisis that took my community.
I lost my mother in 2008 to viccodin, even though she's alive to this day.
Here, I am 23 years old, struggling with my own addictions, but I'm proud now. I'm proud because every day I try to quit, to better myself, to be the parent mine weren't for my future.
We will break free from this cycle.
Know that we all believe in you, keep on pushing, you got this
@jakepent3710 Thank you, it means a lot to be seen
I hope and pray that someday we will all be ok.
Thanks for speaking up! The people you’re preaching to care more about “ gun violence “. Even though it’s a fraction of fentanyl deaths.
But it's still a big issue as well, unfortunately. However, both can be solved at the same time if those in power decide to do the work to get there.
Gun violence is highest in states with the most gun control, same with drugs
@@vestilad242that’s literally not even close to true lmao what a liar
@@dvderek You have google. use it. what evidence do you have for that being false
Been clean from H for 3 years myself. Have lost family, best friends and a fiancé. This stuff is just depressing , does feel like government cares none at all and if anything, have made it near impossible to actually get meds when they are needed because of this past
My sister and my adult nephew love this man's music
My mom is a meth addict, and while now clean, her actions sent my sister and I into foster care. My heart breaks for addicts, but MOST OF THE TIME people chose to do drugs at least the first time. People need to speak out about all of it, they only focused on crack for a while, then meth, then heroine, then prescription drugs, now fentanyl. They’re all still here and they all need addressed.
Spot on, Mr DeFord! ❤
Thank you @JellyRoll for being a voice for those of us who've lost loved ones to addictions. I pray that you have an exceptional impact on those in that room, Those who can actually do something to make a difference! Thank you brother. #YoureASolidDude
From opioid to oxicotin to fetynal to crack. Pain is a serious problem for most people.
Ty jelly . I lost my brother 😔 but it got me clean 😮
Stay clean bruh
8 yrs now !
I hate that about your brother. We buried my little cousin almost two years ago because of fentanyl. She would have been 24 this year.
@@Fallujarhead . My brother made it to 40. But it's not easy either way . They need to fix our borders!
Well done!!! Use the power and strenth to save others!
Incredible speech way to go jelly roll
Speaks with wisdom
There is no such thing as “tough love”. There is tough and there is love.
By “tough love” they mean punishment and rejection, which is unhealthy.
Addiction is a temporary relief for
Pain
Control
Loneliness
Anxiety- inner peace
Addiction is not the problem
The addiction is an attempt to solve the problem.
The real question is “how did the problem develop?”
It’s an unconscious desire to escape, so why do we punish someone who is already suffering? How cruel that is?
You don’t punish people because they are suffering and in pain…. We need to help them, instead we make them criminals.
YOU CANNOT PUNISH PAIN OUT OF PEOPLE.
The medical world misunderstands this problem. Medical students are not trained on how serious emotional health disorders can affect patients.
They don’t get trained on how to treat trauma.
Nonsense. Drug abuse makes people utterly selfish, love will help some, care is essential, but others will take and take and take, abuse help and care for their own addiction. As someone who has been through it and am very lucky to be alive and I know exactly what I’m taking about. A small amount will get through with help, others will need to learn the hard way, the gentle approach and pretending addicts are victims is why we are where are today
I sort of agree....tough love does work on a few , but I know it sure didn't work on me.And I also m think many jails/prisons are too full of addicts who have nothing wrong except they to medicate their mind

This is so moving and powerful. Thank you Jelly roll!
Go Jelly Go ❤😂❤
This is the most powerful speech it definitely touched my soul . 12 years clean and sober in a productive member of society we can recover and we do recover we can't do it alone listen to what this gentleman has to say he speaks the truth
WOW!
This is amazing 😢❤
I was not expecting that. Impressive.
Very well said.
Anyone else having audio trouble
Thank you jellyroll, from the bottom of our hearts.
As a recovering " Addict " and for the rest of my Life , I'll be fighting this / Maybe there's some Truth to some of the Stuff he's saying .. lessons to be Learned
Power words. Powerful message.
welp that just about sums it up.
This man right there, is the most awesome person I have heard in years. Preach man, you really do speak volumes.
Amazing ❤
Wow powerful 737 am here in Florida and you speak about a 737 goosebumps
Nice job.
Have so much more respect for him
That was powerful 😢
You spoke so nicely and to the point that is what is needed i just dident like the guy with the smerk on his face when you spoke like it was funny what you were saying keep rolling till the wheels fall off I stand with you. I have lost so many and say to myself, when will this end 💔 😔 5:51 5:51
Amen brother god bless you
It’s a shame only 35k people have seen this
god bless
Good perspective & speech. The first thing that must be addressed is each drug pandemic has been caused by the govt. Sadly, until they are all held accountable it will continue.
Powerful speech!
I heard a lot about the problem, awareness, education, etc. But not much about solutions. I am waiting, and maybe it will come, but no one seems to have solutions.
WOW, that was FUCKIN' incredible...!🤙🏼
Jelly is so right. He has a great view, and lives with so much pain. I wish this man the best , and his music is great too
Great Man !
Well spoken Gentleman
What a f*kin gem of a man! Articulate, methodical, intelligent, concise. I respect the hell out of this man for speaking up and using his platform to give a voice to the communities that don’t have one. Incredible testimony, very impactful
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Something is wrong with the audio
Wow! This is powerful. 100% truth.
Keep sharing your testimony and keep fighting for this drug issue we have had for many years now. The drugs continue to get worse, stronger. I am not just talking about illegal drugs. I am talking about pharmaceutical drugs as well. People dont realize how addictive pharmaceutical drugs are but since they are prescribed by the white coats that its ok.
People must become more aware about all of this.
JELLY ROLL 2024
Good job Jellyroll baby you speak the truth
Love you 😘
tell you all nothing but the truth
2:00 The guy on the far left seems real upset... He's probably lost someone to drug abuse.
He literally couldn't have said that any better everything he said is the truth
Amen jelly America is dying as the days go by
Finally someone says what I was thinking about when are we gonna stop sitting here like ducks and actually do some action on drugs or something for how many years drugs have been here and yet no clear solution is in sight when are we gonna realize we’re in a sinking ship with our fantasy of a world where there is no drugs at all 😂 we need something that works for everyone how many officers did we lose to this war and how many mothers had to bury their children from drugs and how many years are we going to continue this cycle of violence and pain
"What doesnt get you in the wash will get you in the rinse"
Wow
😢😢😢
I do hope that the laws do not get so strict with pain meds because there are alot of us out there that live in so much pain we can't function. We don't abuse our meds and we can't even get through a day without them. I know that fentanyl is a big problem its coming from the streets but please leave our pain meds alone. Its getting to the point that people having surgery are left in pain also. Women who have to have a c-section are lefy in pain. This is not the answer either. I really believe we need to look at Switzerland abd see what they have done. It worked. Having clean drugs given by the government even helps get people clean. This whole war on drugs is not working.
Lost both brothers to fentanyl
Drugs is cheaper then help.
Go get em Jelly your God put you on a bigger stage 313-615
There's no sound on my end....
So many want to blame those who die, claiming its happens because of their choices.... But if they would stop putting airline tickets on sale, and well... nobody thinks about the chance of not living to talk about the experience. Isn't it time they do something to make things safer??
Getem jelly roll
Is it just me the video is muted
You need the left audio device
Jellyroll, I commend you on this speech it was it was a tough for me to get through. I learned when I was 27 that my granddad was kind of alcoholic and then when he passed away from I don’t get kidney or liver. I’m not sure, and that’s when all of us grandkids were told like heyhe that’s all he did was drink and I’m like no cause I made him. Give me hugs every time I was there.
🖐🎤
....d*mn it. The audio is one-sided.
...also, I came to this video for context from the short and found absolutely none of it. Ffs, peoppe.
I was a full blown
Alcoholic which made the cancer I didn’t know I had worse and it nearly killed me!
Hope you’re feeling well now ❤
The problem is there is a blind eye when it came to the dr now a person with a true pain or hurt has the worst time getting help cause there was a bunch of doctors who made bank … Tell me Doctors how did they legally prescribe 240 120 180 oxycodone pills a month !!!! Start there ….
Let's be honest. He is wasting his time speaking to these people. Our government is part of the problem. They could care less about us.
They care very much about you and me. They want us to fight each other, be distracted by drugs and celebrate rites and major sports and immigrants and whatever else they can keep us busy.
They care very much for us to give them power and money and be part of the mass of followers.
Thank Joe for This!
You're literally the people he's talking against
Hey big shout-out to all the people that never sold or used drugs in the first place. The people that didn't sell drugs to that 13 year old boy that overdosed or the 16 year old girl that's now out there selling her body? Everyone forgets to sing their praises and give them their deserved accolades. Big Shout Out to Jelly Role everybody, he stopped destroying his own and other peoples lives...
My apologies, not everyone can be perfect like you. Most of us have to accept responsibility for our actions and work to be better than we were the day before because we're human. But shout out to the saint sitting on a pedestal judging everyone below. How's the view from up there?
@@DeadGirl420 Yep, it's tough being perfect, but I would not know because I am far from perfect just like everyone else. However, I did not sell drugs to kids or anyone else for that matter. Never stuck a gun in someone's face and threaten to kill them for my next fix either. Just so you know, there are different degrees of right and wrong. Running a red light compared to killing someone and cutting them up for a meal are a bit different. A lot of folks that have done seriously bad things, years later love to climb up on their soap box and boast about how they change their life and god or whoever saved them, that's fine. I just prefer the people that lead a more decent life from the start and don't go around bragging and promoting it every chance they get. They did good from the start and stayed good, that deserves a shout out too.
They don’t care
Old people own the most fentynal so look where the supply is dont go after youth and are kids like it grows outta there hands it does not
He says it’s not a partisan issue which is kind of true, but on the left, some liberals will see overdosing as living your own truth and on the right, some libertarians will simply be apathetic because it doesn’t affect them
People choose to be drug addicts. People choose to smoke cigarettes. People choose to vape. People choose to drink alcohol.
What is your vice or sin or addiction?
@@tonynunez6539 I don't feel bad for most drug addicts.
You don't become a republican until you start blaming the victims. You don't become a Democrat until you start seeing the victims.
Why keep pushing the division? This man is trying to bring people together for a cause. This is a bipartisan effort. Maybe try to open your eyes and see that people on both sides of the aisle care about fixing this. Evil doesn’t discriminate according to what political party someone subscribes to.
WTF! Why did this guy Sharpie on his face. It looks ridiculous.
Ugh! We’re listening to people named “Jelly Roll” now?
Who the hell is Jelly Roll? I don’t think I wanna know much more
Fake
Really? Wow, you are either a troll or extremely ignorant. Either way, a simple Google search would let you know that this is, in fact, very real.
nah jellyroll is the goat fr i aint even playing
Nobody proofreads your titles before you post to TH-cam?
Damn jelly go ahead man 🙏🏾
They not going to take advice from a man that has a face tattoo. No one can take anyone serious with drawings on their face. Other than that was well spoken
my mom was into meth, and was laced with fentanyl. she was killed in june 2021. even though i accept the fact that she made the choice to use an illegal drug, she didn't deserve to be killed because someone gave her a chemical she unknowingly ingested. she was found in a hotel room after a suspected party. nobody checked up on her, and most of them probably left the moment they were sure something had gone awry, not once stopping to think if this was the mother of someone's child.
the man who sold her the drugs has been found guilty and will be sentenced on a charge of 2nd degree murder.
