Hakeem Jeffries is my congressman in Brooklyn, NY. I am beaming with PRIDE watching this. I am so proud of him. He is kind and truly loves serving our community. Congratulations House Minority Leader Jeffries! Thank you for your contribution!
Frankly, until I learned that Pelosi han endorsed him for Speaker, I'd barely known his name...I knew NOTHING about him. I am BEYOND thrilled he heads the new Democratic leadership!!!! I also appreciate that he appears to have some real moxy! Given the GQP in power now, we know we need a FIGHTER. He not only handed McCarthy the gavel...he handed him his head!!!!
@@time4sanity Even in picking her successor Pelosy showed true leadership and vision! Jeffries is the man for the American future! God bless him, God bless America!
Minority Leader Jeffries, I too am a son of Brooklyn and like you I was also born at Brooklyn hospital. I left Brooklyn to serve in the Air Force to try and escape a city that was going bankrupt and in the grip of the drug crisis. Today with your words you have placed Brooklyn on the map again. You have articulated, in a dignified manner, what people like me aspire to. With your words you have let us know that there is still hope and that there are those fighting to overcome the forces that seek to enslave us with the tyranny of fascism and cults. Today you managed to give voice to the voiceless and hope to the hopeless. I wish you strength and support in your endeavors, but above all, I wish you success! You have made Brooklyn proud! I may be on the other side of the world in Geneva, Switzerland, in search of the “American Dream”, but I’m Brooklyn born and bred through and through! You have my support, but most importantly, you have my respect! Good luck!
Will, I'm right there with you. Born & raised in Bushwick before I left for NJ and, more recently, for Europe. I've been following Jeffries for the past few years and am incredibly excited to see him raising our borough's profile! Good luck Rep. Jeffries!
This is a beautiful sentiment my Brother. I’m a Sister from the Boogie Down Bronx and I appreciate and enjoyed your words of encouragement Brother Jeffries. Outstanding.😊
Hakeem Jeffries is a man of great character, integrity and humanity which is rare to see and Kevin McCarthy doesn't even come close to any of those individual characteristics.
how about the homeless in sanfransciso and the crime that has grown since the democrats took office .This guy is really TRUE DEMOCRAT HE KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT THE TRUTH.
@@lynndurbin9476 The crimes are not at the border. For years we have seen that the criminal activity comes in by boat, gets delivered by small planes, and even comes through very long tunnels. The border is checked. That's why we have gates and guards on the highways between countries. The little bit of border wall that Trump had built did cause an increase of border crossings in that area because where there had been no roads to follow, roads were built to put up fence/wall. That gave migrants a road to follow. We need migrants. We had migrant farm workers and food prices were lower. Now we don't and food prices are up. That's just one example of how migrants benefit our country. Right this moment we're dealing with an increase in crime from citizens, many of them elected officials.
So you guys are all for silence and people you don't agree with huh I mean that's what the Twitter file said I still haven't found any conservative asking people to be quiet you ain't nothing but a bunch of communists
As much as i respect the house minority. He made a mistake in not putting Liz Cheney on the ballot and support her. They would have gotten republican and all the Dem votes, which would have been a bypolitical support. His ego went over him and he did not take the chance. They will now complain about the Republican majority, which they had on their hands to change. Please don't complain no more if trumpism take over, your egos are beyond the country, when time comes you defend your own interest, not the country.
On the contrary; the empty insider trader was the old house speaker. The Nation is in trillions of dollars in debt, and you have the hubris to think the Nation she left the House in good shape.
They Democrats have been handing out hope like it's candy for the last 50 years. Enjoy more hope. In 2 years you'll have a chance to vote for more hope. Good luck hoping.
He handed the gavel to a speaker who is assuming the role of speaker of the house how it was meant to be before the authoritarian Nancy Pelosi took it and stole all the power from the House for herself.
Out standing Sir , thankyou for your honesty, integrity , Loyalty and your insight for America may God bless you and guide you , strengthen and bless you !
@@ZombieWarfare552 yea, typical Republican. Knows nothing about love...except when it is disguised as rape, or taking underage girls across state lines for prostitution. And equally uneducated, like most Republicans, doesn't know the difference between 'you' and 'you're'.

I feel so uplifted and hopeful. What an intelligent, inspiring and powerful speech. We need you so desperately at this time in our fragile democracy. Thank you, Mr. Jeffries!!
@@romio6359 The crisis is how the education system failed you. Here you are with no range to grasp that the inflation is a global problem. All you can do is parrot nonsensical talking points you are fed like a seal on cue. Embarrassing.
I think the fragility of our Democracy is exaggerated by a needy press, a service unfortunately saddled with the profit motive. Like others: health, education, protection, and governing, the Truth suffers with the strain put on it by Capitalism. Industry flourishes under Capitalism, Service is vanquished by it.We will never have a truly sturdy Democracy until the dollar and the vote part ways.
Obviously, you have not looked up the definition of brilliant. One of the most partisan and hateful speeches ever given. Also he is stupid if he thinks Pelosi is the best speaker of all time. Good thing he lost. He has no concept of what makes America great. It is believing the book he misquoted and that nancy pelosi crapped all over.
This is by far the best acceptance speech ever, this not only the best speech but also poetic speech ever, this is speech of true leader. I nominate him the future president. I don't think Mccarthy can top that ever.
@@charlestalarico7682 Leader Jeffries is the MINORITY Leader....that means he is the DEMOCRATIC leader of the House. He didn't split his party. They voted 15 times for him...every last Rep...all 212 of them! It is imperative to acknowledge truth. He cited some of the accomplishments of the Democratic Party and put the insurrectionist traitors present on notice...
BAAHHAHAhaha OMFG THAT WOULD EMBARRASS AN INTELLIGENT PERSON TO SAY THAT CRAZY SHIT! LMAO he read a speech that some nerdy white guy wrote for him and that's how you gage greatness? Or is it because he's black and reads well, that has so effectively pulled out the exposure of black racists? YES we caught you and I'm sure a massive number of others will follow, in exposing black racism.... I suppose we don't need to cry our eyes out or take to the streets crying, killing and destroying things. We're just not that uncivilized and it wasn't as if we didn't know already that the accusations were coming from those with 10 times the hatred of those for their skin color who shared no guilt of the wrongs committed. Should anyone dare tell the full story about the African Muslim Kings from which nearly all the slaves were traded, that were treated 100 times worse by there African slave owners than they ever were in America? The slavery of African people continues today in greater numbers than ever before in history! A small portion of the wealth created in this nation by just one individual black person??// hmmm? Oprah Winfrey! Oprah could fund a small army of volunteer black men to go to the mother land and fight to end all slavery of African people forever. Why not? Then you would be sacrificing to save the lives of black people.... well, sort of like the way white people fought and died in our nation's bloodiest war ever costing over 500,000 American lives. 98% white. Don't say shit and cry about racism and slavery in America, when black people hold the greater guilt of hatred.... EVEN WORSE, THE ENTIRE FUCKING NBA LED BY YOUR MOUTHY PRICK NASTY TOES FUCKING LEBRON JAMES KISSES CHINESE ASS WHO ARE A MAIN FORCE THAT CURRENTLY LEADS IN THE PURCHASE SLAVERY OF AFRICAN PEOPLE WHO ARE RAPED BEATEN TORTURED AND MURDERED EVERY SINGLE DAY BUT ALL OF THOSE BLACK AMERICAN RACIST COWARDS IN THE NBA AND THE NFL FOR THAT MATTER!!! WON'T DO SHIT OR GIVE ONE PENNY TO FIGHT IT! THEY SUPPORT THE SLAVERY OF BLACK AFRICANS AND THOSE FILTHY BASTARDS THAT BLACK AMERICAN KIDS PRAISE ARE THE REASON SLAVERY STILL EXISTS AND THEY LEAD THE WAY IN RACIAL HATRED! THEY LOVE THE SLAVERY AND RACISM THAT KEEPS US DIVIDED. ALL OF THOSE NBA AND NFL PLAYERS COULD LEAD THE WAR AGAINST AFRICAN MURDER AND SLAVERY, WITH PENNIES OF THE MILLIONS THEY MAKE HERE IN THE NATION THAT THEY FALSLY ACCUSE. DON'T SAY SHIT NO MORE. BLACK MOTHERS STOP LYING ABOUT HOW EVIL WE ARE, TRYING TO MAKE YOUR KIDS HATE US. AND WHITE PEOPLE CANT HELP THAT BLACK MEN PREFER WHITE WOMEN. TAKE THAT ISSUE UP WITH YOUR SONS, BUT MAYBE BLACK WOMEN SHOULD START LOOKING OUT FOR THEIR OWN BEST INTERESTS. THE SLAVERY ISSUE COULD BE SHUT DOWN IN A MONTH. tHEY WON'T BECAUSEBLACK MUSLIMS ARE THE RACIST SLAVE OWNERS AND KILLERS. YEAH,,,,DON'T SAY SHIT ABOUT RACISM AND SLAVERY ANYMORE IF NONE OF YOU WILL DO WHAT WHITE PEOPLE DID TO STOP IT HERE. THAT IS SOME AMPLIFIED COWARD SHIT!

Thank you to all who extended a shoulder allowing this young man to rise up and become a voice for the people. Brooklyn standing tall with you Hakeem. Congratulations.
I agree, mostly. ☺️ It WAS from his heart, and it was gracious, uplifting and inspiring, but (teleprompters aren’t supposed to be in sight… ). That’s okay, though, doesn’t take anything away from the power of the speech.
@Nikolai Knight preparing for a speech and reading from a teleprompter are 2 different things asshole. Clearly, I said not a teleprompter in sight. Clearly he prepared himself so what's your point?
Time passes even when you are not having fun! The next 2 years will be non-productive and ugly but it will pass. After Jeffries speech, I jumped up on my aching legs, excited with tears of joy. I am a retired old American and if I die today I know this country will be forever great with the likes of Jeffries (regardless of color) leading it. 'Our diversity is a strength not a weakness' , 'we are a gorgeous mosaic.....' God bless the United States Of America.
This is off topic but when is CNN going to talk about the study that showed those who got the Covid vax are more likely to get Covid? I thought they loved using the words "studies show"?
I don't even care about the politics right now. I just think I'm a little bit more proud to be a American today then I was yesterday and in this day and age that's saying alot
McCarthy's speech was the genuinely historical one. This network has three times fewer viewers than Fox and has lost 90% of its college-educated viewers over the last ten years. For a reason. Go woke, go broke. The American people have spoken, and the Democrat charade is over.
What a good sentiment! May you stay strong and see some good come out of the next 2 years - they may not be all bad because some of the effects of the last 2 years' legislation will be felt by all Americans and will help everyone.
What a powerful speech ! Thank you Rep. Jeffries for reminding us that this is a government by the people and for the people. You are a true American and a symbol everyone should work to achieve.
@@brianfergus839 not really, no free speech so leave an emoji because I'm sure what he/she wants to say isn't allowed 😂 with Jeffries speech I just thank God he didn't become the majority leader, wow he's really trying to divide people.
@@katherinemonk8174 divide people? It was McCarthy two days ago who bashed the left in his speech to his own party and said the left were out to take over the government and country completely. Doesn't sound like unity does it? The party that supported an insurrection, doesn't sound like unity does it? The party with the president that didn't want to honor the American people's votes and refused to accept those votes. I'm sure you don't even understand what the word unity and uniting mean by your comment.
Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries for president!! His presence exuded confidence, maturity, optimism!!! He spoke with eloquence and grace. This speech left an indelible mark on me.
Hog wash, smooth talk is how the country got into the financial mess we are in. The government is suppose to be about: For the people. By they the people. Of the people. And it is time that the people insist their government be about them. That is the only to right the Nation's course.

Hakeem reminds me of Obama. He’s eloquent, intelligent and has his heart in the right place. He has already proven that he’s someone who unites people as he got unanimous support in all 15 rounds of voting. May God bless his soul.
If you have been to a black church , this is every Sunday preaching. It’s the reason we have hopeful optimism in the face of life’s trials . Our singers and preachers give us life and you can tell Mr . Jeffries is always in the front row at church .
@@inesalmeyda8563 what’s your question? The point being made is that he listens at church and takes notes on good preaching which is one of the greatest oratory forms ever. A Obama knows how to do the same thing and it’s because he spent many years in a black church . Do you know what analogies are ? 🙄
Now, that was one inspiring speech, if I've ever heard one! A speech that gives energy instead of sucking it out of you. Way to go Hakeem Jeffries, you've got a long path ahead of you, but you will make it. Most definately!
Now THIS is my America! The America I grew up believing in!! Thank you Rep Hakeem Jeffries! I am 60 and I hope to see you go higher and higher in the years to come. I am so proud of you and tearful as you've made history.
What an inspiring and amazing speech by this young gentleman, Rep. Hakeem Jefferies, Leader of House Democratic Caucus, and a future President of America by the grace of God. Wish you all the best as you steer the affairs of your party for the well-being of all Americans.

@@breakthewheelnow8223 you are so a sheep, Biden lies every time he gets in front of that teleprompter. He said he was not a socialist and yet he has been the most socialist president in the history of this country leading to record high inflation and looming recession. I’m not a Trumper, in fact I believed Biden when he said he was a moderate. I woke up, everybody needs to wake up. Dems talk a good one, lot of handouts, but it’s game. Why Democrat run states are full of homeless, drugs,crime, poverty, outrageous cost of living? Biden says he doesn’t care about wallstreet, yet people with IRAs,410ks, brokerage accounts,regular working people are losing thousands because of Biden’s policies.Never vote for a democrat again.

@@commoncentsamerican Absolutely grooming children matters. Grooming children to become honest, productive adults with ethics and integrity. Something far too many Republicans know far too little about.
I LOVED Hakeem Jeffries' speech. He is PRESIDENTIAL MATERIAL. He is intelligent, genuinely thankful, polite, a uniter, and a terrific orator. That A to Z list was particularly clever, and meaningful.
I was thinking the exact same thing. I sure hope he makes a presidential run in the future. After hearing that speech, I would vote for him in a heartbeat.
He is a trained puppet, a neo con and a sell out. You would not know what real leadership because for the last 60 years the US has not had real leadership
@@nerakar6562 Your comment might have some credence if this video was about both speeches. I can't see anything in Marty's comment that mentions McCarthy 🤔
He won every round of the voting ......except the last ......when Republicans were desperate to make concessions to prevent him from winning .......it's clear that all Republicans weren't supportive of McCarthy.
This was inspiring to see. Especially appreciated the governing over gaslighting line! I'm seeing comments on Twitter that these are "The ABCs of democracy." Love that framing of this speech. Looks like Democrats did a great job choosing their speaker.
Inspiring ravings, you must be a radical leftie. Those last 6 minutes were pure foaming at the mouth lying commie demagoguery. Pelosi sounded more accommmodating than Commie Jeffries,
Hakeem is simply great as a leader a legislator and as the best representative of his generation . I am extremely proud to have served with him in the legislature and to witness his development into such a brilliant leader. May God continue to bless him and guide his path.

Action speaks louder than words. This congress gave us high inflation, high crime, high gas, a new war, high interest, more debt, vaccine mandates, school shutdowns, a shrinking economy, wage decreases, and a crisis at our border. Nice speech though.
This was a top notch speech! Every single word rang so true! It's disgusting that one obvious party is so in it for greed & power, not the ppl. Our Gov. is broken!
One party? Try both. Both the DNC and GOP are two sides of the same coin and do not care about the American people. Also this speech is kindergarten cringe.
@@pender7 Nope 👎 Not suggesting that all Dems are good and all Republicans are all bad, but they most certainly are not the same. What’s kindergarten cringe worthy is mindlessly grouping all politicians together like you just did. They have completely different ideologies. Yours is a simplistic all or nothing approach backed by a factually unsupported belief.
Almost everything he said we need the opposite of is what their party is doing. U guys are to blind to see that? It was a bunch of words that mean nothing to their party.

It sounds good so they must be good but their actions show its not. Nothing but division from their party. They attack any African American that runs for any political position if they of a certain party. Biden attacks half the country when he speaks. Remember his speech with the red background. Yeah this party really unites us.

Wow! If his speech reflects his true leadership, I finally found a politician who doesn’t disgust me. I listened to the entire 15 minutes, and the last 2 minutes are STELLAR!!!

Bet you’re the same people that complains about high gas, food prices but still vote for Democrats because they have fancy speeches, the audacity
After listening to his speech, I feel hope, optimism and relief after years of being saturated with anger, spite and hate being amplified by the media click culture. At last, the legislative successes over the last two years have airtime. Positive, openly but respectfully challenging, presenting governing principles driven by unifying values that successfully frame a party platform. Very good.

Jeffries is good. Good at twisting God's Word! Let us never grow weary in fighting for reproductive rights. Let us never grow weary (cough) in fighting for abortions. Go Jeffries!👍
How could you say that? He lied about 5 police officers being killed at the so-called January 6th insurrection! Zero cops were killed, and the one that did die, died of a stroke the day after! The only one who died was Ashley Babbot, who was murdered by the racist cop inside the Capitol building! And the cops who opened the doors of the Capitol building are treated as heroes!
What a terrific speech, loved how he rolled threw the alphabet every letter, for every republicans negative, he had the democrats positive, whole speech was brilliant
@@time4sanity yes a very confident and clever man, I’ve many a time listen to people attempt that alphabet referral to current situations, but never have I witnessed it so well done, with such ease and the compassion, it came so easily for him, he is another gentleman of the Obama style beautiful
Everything sounds positive. Will it be delivered? Women lost the right to choose. When will our freedom to choose be restored in all states? Both Democrats and Republicans give huge handouts to the horrific industries known as the meat and dairy industries. We don't get to vote on this. Both parties are bought by the same lobbyists.
Self satisfied lawmakers who have presided over middle class wages and minimum wage that has not gone up in a generation. Lobbyists run our government and the people in that chamber will all become the beneficiaries of 8 figure fortunes while earning low 6 figure income. For shame, Democrats.
And a declaration as well... Get ready for some insanity, gaslighting and general banal from the Republicans this next two years. That sermon he gave at the end really summed up what we are up against.
@Hispanic American Yes, his style of speaking can be viewed as stereotypical... but don't let prejudice against Blacks speaking intelligently make you miss out on the passive aggressive call to arms against the Right. But if you really are an Hispanic American and not a 🥥... you had better hope that the Republicans never get back into political power again. They WILL show that ass who is White and who is not really quick.
Watched this brilliant speech live and had to watch it multiple times it was so positive and inspiring!! ❤The shouting throughout his speech was extremely rude. He showed grace and professionalism. He deserves his time! It’s not his fault republicans took 4 days to vote for a leader. What a contrast to the speaker’s speech.
As much as i respect the house minority. He made a mistake in not putting Liz Cheney on the ballot and support her.

Powerful! Extra applause for taking us straight through the entire alphabet without skipping a beat. This is what leadership presenting itself, looks like.
Great speech? The guy repeated the lie that police officers has been killed on January 6 and invented that the freedom loving people are fascist while those who support fascisme (governments taking control over the medias and big corporations to push a socialist systeme) are for freedom. That was a piece of garbage and it's shameful that anyone is dumb enough to not be repulsed by such lies. They day you'll use your brain you'll finally realize that all the freedom loving peoples (MAGA) were not racist at all and your idiotic way to avoid seeing it was to applaud our censorship and refusing to talk to us. You are the cultish side who applaud the social rejection of peoples who didn't wanted to take part in the mRNA experience and still you're saying that We are those who are practicing exclusion. How pathetic...
No, this is what pompous grandstanding looks like... It also shows you how strong a throat he has. The number and size of the lies he told without going hoarse is amazing.

@@Jacksmithstandby I'm an independent who voted for Trump, so I don't care how McCarthy followed anything up. Jeffries did not display ANY "...class and brilliance..." He displayed nothing but partisan leftardation. He also LIED, repeatedly. The one thing that swamp creatures and their leftist fans don't realize is that the concessions that the RINO McCarthy made makes his grasp on power very tenuous. This is PRECISELY what has been lacking for years. Those that opposed McCarthy were actually concerned with the ineffectiveness of "business as usual" in Congress. If you understood even a little about how much the House has wiped their collective @55 with the constitution, you might rethink your position... but I digress. To use the term "rethink" implies that there was initial thought, and your post indicates otherwise.

What a breath of fresh air Rep Jeffries is.
I had this same description! 👏🏾
thank the white nerd who wrote it for him then.
@@garymarlar5346 Just having white skin doesn't make you smart.
Stinks.... they've had time to clean up the spending, crime, the boarder crimes.
@@lynndurbin9476 The crimes are not at the border. For years we have seen that the criminal activity comes in by boat, gets delivered by small planes, and even comes through very long tunnels. The border is checked. That's why we have gates and guards on the highways between countries. The little bit of border wall that Trump had built did cause an increase of border crossings in that area because where there had been no roads to follow, roads were built to put up fence/wall. That gave migrants a road to follow. We need migrants. We had migrant farm workers and food prices were lower. Now we don't and food prices are up. That's just one example of how migrants benefit our country. Right this moment we're dealing with an increase in crime from citizens, many of them elected officials.
Your speech was so moving it had me in tears I am proud of you and I'm so proud to be a Democrat
Same ❤
Amen! Amen!
Me too. I teared up with so much pride.
So you guys are all for silence and people you don't agree with huh I mean that's what the Twitter file said I still haven't found any conservative asking people to be quiet you ain't nothing but a bunch of communists
Wake up Democrats or should I say communist I mean that's what the policies they are pushing
Now this is a leader to look forward to!!
Love Hakeem Jeffries. So excited and proud to have his representation!
Same
He is great 💙
RayMaillard ... set the bar that low often do ya ?
As much as i respect the house minority. He made a mistake in not putting Liz Cheney on the ballot and support her. They would have gotten republican and all the Dem votes, which would have been a bypolitical support. His ego went over him and he did not take the chance. They will now complain about the Republican majority, which they had on their hands to change. Please don't complain no more if trumpism take over, your egos are beyond the country, when time comes you defend your own interest, not the country.
Sad to watch a LEADER handing the gavel over to an empty vessel!!! Thank you, Leader Jeffries!!! You give us hope!
On the contrary; the empty insider trader was the old house speaker.
The Nation is in trillions of dollars in debt, and you have the hubris to think the Nation she left the House in good shape.
HE HANDED THE GAVEL TO THE SPEAKER MAYBE HAAAAKKKKEEEEMMMM CAN GO TEACH THE ABC'S
They Democrats have been handing out hope like it's candy for the last 50 years. Enjoy more hope. In 2 years you'll have a chance to vote for more hope. Good luck hoping.
He handed the gavel to a speaker who is assuming the role of speaker of the house how it was meant to be before the authoritarian Nancy Pelosi took it and stole all the power from the House for herself.
Except that Jeffries, like all democrats, IS the empty vessel of lies, deceit and overt racism
Out standing Sir , thankyou for your honesty, integrity , Loyalty and your insight for America may God bless you and guide you , strengthen and bless you !
hello roger how are you doing
What an amazing speaker!!!
What an incredibly brilliant speech.
An amazing speech!!!! He’s the man to watch!

Crisis of self inflicted record high inflation and record high illegal immigrants
A good common sense speech. It's a shame that our current Congress pretty much ignores these concepts.
@@romio6359 The crisis is how the education system failed you. Here you are with no range to grasp that the inflation is a global problem. All you can do is parrot nonsensical talking points you are fed like a seal on cue. Embarrassing.
I think the fragility of our Democracy is exaggerated by a needy press, a service unfortunately saddled with the profit motive. Like others: health, education, protection, and governing, the Truth suffers with the strain put on it by Capitalism. Industry flourishes under Capitalism, Service is vanquished by it.We will never have a truly sturdy Democracy until the dollar and the vote part ways.
@Romio so you're blaming Biden adm for a world wide pandemic, supply issues and Corporate GREED... that have led to inflation. smh.
Absolutely brilliant. One of the best speeches I’ve ever heard, historical!
Historic lies, maybe...
Obviously, you have not looked up the definition of brilliant. One of the most partisan and hateful speeches ever given. Also he is stupid if he thinks Pelosi is the best speaker of all time.

Future President!! Yes!
@@charlestalarico7682 Leader Jeffries is the MINORITY Leader....that means he is the DEMOCRATIC leader of the House. He didn't split his party. They voted 15 times for him...every last Rep...all 212 of them! It is imperative to acknowledge truth. He cited some of the accomplishments of the Democratic Party and put the insurrectionist traitors present on notice...
BAAHHAHAhaha OMFG THAT WOULD EMBARRASS AN INTELLIGENT PERSON TO SAY THAT CRAZY SHIT! LMAO
he read a speech that some nerdy white guy wrote for him and that's how you gage greatness? Or is it because he's black and reads well, that has so effectively pulled out the exposure of black racists? YES we caught you and I'm sure a massive number of others will follow, in exposing black racism.... I suppose we don't need to cry our eyes out or take to the streets crying, killing and destroying things. We're just not that uncivilized and it wasn't as if we didn't know already that the accusations were coming from those with 10 times the hatred of those for their skin color who shared no guilt of the wrongs committed. Should anyone dare tell the full story about the African Muslim Kings from which nearly all the slaves were traded, that were treated 100 times worse by there African slave owners than they ever were in America? The slavery of African people continues today in greater numbers than ever before in history! A small portion of the wealth created in this nation by just one individual black person??// hmmm? Oprah Winfrey! Oprah could fund a small army of volunteer black men to go to the mother land and fight to end all slavery of African people forever. Why not? Then you would be sacrificing to save the lives of black people.... well, sort of like the way white people fought and died in our nation's bloodiest war ever costing over 500,000 American lives. 98% white. Don't say shit and cry about racism and slavery in America, when black people hold the greater guilt of hatred.... EVEN WORSE, THE ENTIRE FUCKING NBA LED BY YOUR MOUTHY PRICK NASTY TOES FUCKING LEBRON JAMES KISSES CHINESE ASS WHO ARE A MAIN FORCE THAT CURRENTLY LEADS IN THE PURCHASE SLAVERY OF AFRICAN PEOPLE WHO ARE RAPED BEATEN TORTURED AND MURDERED EVERY SINGLE DAY BUT ALL OF THOSE BLACK AMERICAN RACIST COWARDS IN THE NBA AND THE NFL FOR THAT MATTER!!! WON'T DO SHIT OR GIVE ONE PENNY TO FIGHT IT! THEY SUPPORT THE SLAVERY OF BLACK AFRICANS AND THOSE FILTHY BASTARDS THAT BLACK AMERICAN KIDS PRAISE ARE THE REASON SLAVERY STILL EXISTS AND THEY LEAD THE WAY IN RACIAL HATRED! THEY LOVE THE SLAVERY AND RACISM THAT KEEPS US DIVIDED. ALL OF THOSE NBA AND NFL PLAYERS COULD LEAD THE WAR AGAINST AFRICAN MURDER AND SLAVERY, WITH PENNIES OF THE MILLIONS THEY MAKE HERE IN THE NATION THAT THEY FALSLY ACCUSE. DON'T SAY SHIT NO MORE. BLACK MOTHERS STOP LYING ABOUT HOW EVIL WE ARE, TRYING TO MAKE YOUR KIDS HATE US. AND WHITE PEOPLE CANT HELP THAT BLACK MEN PREFER WHITE WOMEN. TAKE THAT ISSUE UP WITH YOUR SONS, BUT MAYBE BLACK WOMEN SHOULD START LOOKING OUT FOR THEIR OWN BEST INTERESTS. THE SLAVERY ISSUE COULD BE SHUT DOWN IN A MONTH. tHEY WON'T BECAUSEBLACK MUSLIMS ARE THE RACIST SLAVE OWNERS AND KILLERS. YEAH,,,,DON'T SAY SHIT ABOUT RACISM AND SLAVERY ANYMORE IF NONE OF YOU WILL DO WHAT WHITE PEOPLE DID TO STOP IT HERE. THAT IS SOME AMPLIFIED COWARD SHIT!

I've watched this 2x now. Not a teleprompter in sight, he spoke from his heart. This was gracious, uplifting and inspiring.
That’s not how that works. The speech was prepared.
I agree, mostly. ☺️ It WAS from his heart, and it was gracious, uplifting and inspiring, but (teleprompters aren’t supposed to be in sight… ). That’s okay, though, doesn’t take anything away from the power of the speech.
Mind you he had a week to learn it by heart lol. Ffs..he had me going yeahhh and I'm not even amsrican
@Nikolai Knight preparing for a speech and reading from a teleprompter are 2 different things asshole. Clearly, I said not a teleprompter in sight. Clearly he prepared himself so what's your point?
@Daniel Barber Duh! A teleprompter shouldn't be in sight nor did he need it. You know what I meant, clearly and it was more of figurative language!
Time passes even when you are not having fun! The next 2 years will be non-productive and ugly but it will pass. After Jeffries speech, I jumped up on my aching legs, excited with tears of joy. I am a retired old American and if I die today I know this country will be forever great with the likes of Jeffries (regardless of color) leading it. 'Our diversity is a strength not a weakness' , 'we are a gorgeous mosaic.....' God bless the United States Of America.
This is off topic but when is CNN going to talk about the study that showed those who got the Covid vax are more likely to get Covid?

God clearly does not.
I don't even care about the politics right now. I just think I'm a little bit more proud to be a American today then I was yesterday and in this day and age that's saying alot
McCarthy's speech was the genuinely historical one. This network has three times fewer viewers than Fox and has lost 90% of its college-educated viewers over the last ten years. For a reason. Go woke, go broke. The American people have spoken, and the Democrat charade is over.
What a good sentiment! May you stay strong and see some good come out of the next 2 years - they may not be all bad because some of the effects of the last 2 years' legislation will be felt by all Americans and will help everyone.
Simply an amazing speech. Hope, respect,greatness

Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries for president!! His presence exuded confidence, maturity, optimism!!! He spoke with eloquence and grace. This speech left an indelible mark on me.
Hog wash, smooth talk is how the country got into the financial mess we are in.

Of the people.
And it is time that the people insist their government be about them.

Hakeem reminds me of Obama. He’s eloquent, intelligent and has his heart in the right place. He has already proven that he’s someone who unites people as he got unanimous support in all 15 rounds of voting. May God bless his soul.
He does! I thought the same. He’d make an excellent POTUS.
He's IS going to be president
It's called a group think. All that diversity but no diversity of thought.
Yes, very much so. This speech reminds me of Obama 2004 DNC convention speech

Thank you for speaking truth to power and speaking for the voiceless.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I've never known the left as the quiet types. Their more the "Shut-up or we'll cancel you, and a whole lot more.", types of people.
@Jake Lachance the CCP is proud of the DNC.
Hakeem Jeffries had the best role model! I excellent speech.
@@teresalegler2777 a lot of hot air
@@beckyspitzack4265 I believe you're talking about the orange buffoon. Luckily we FIRED him. 🙂
Amazing Speech!!! Listened to it live and was blow away by the strength, power in delivery. So many things to say about it. Happy to be alive during these times. Bravo!!
lol
Hahaha ! Can you buy Food ? Can you live like a human Being without being shot by a Gangbanger ? Can you buy an Electric car like the DemoRats want you too ! Is your credit cards interest killing your Bank book ! If the answer is Yes ! You’re on Welfare ! A Millionaire ! Or a Liar !
DIVERSITY is a STRENGTH 💪 it's not a weakness ✊️
The sad part is most of the white people in that room have immigrant histories. They want to ignore that their past.
Diversity and Exclusion of whites and asians.
Yes!
Wow! If his speech reflects his true leadership, I finally found a politician who doesn’t disgust me. I listened to the entire 15 minutes, and the last 2 minutes are STELLAR!!!
It’s all empty! All talk and no action. Are you really this blind??!?
@@xposetruth5681 haters can hate. That's alright. Go listen to Mccarthy.
It worked for Obama
So a leader would say what he said at the end?

When evil needs correction.
Goosebumps!!!! I am so proud. I hope we all can come together as one. God Bless us all in America ❤
Perhaps we can if the whole tRump faction can be crushed for good.
Jeffries is just another corrupt Washington politician. I would hope that you don’t look to any politician to unite you with your neighbors.
@Eduardo Oliveira it could if you vote for sane Republicans and not insane ones!!!
@Eduardo Oliveira yes I did and it was priceless
@Eduardo Oliveira all jokes aside I’m a Democrat but I grew up with a two party system and this breaks my heart. I hate to see this because it makes us look bad especially to other countries. The GOP needs to get it together and start here in Louisiana this is where the Maga hold is!!
Moved me to tears. Inspiring, articulate, and genuine
His speech brings tears to the eyes... WOW he is brilliant and beautiful ❤️
Same
Don’t peel onions when you watch a Speech !
This speech is awesome. It gives Americans hope for the future. This speech will go down in history as one of the greatest speeches in Congess.
We the People, welcome MATRURITY over Mar-a-Lago.
Really!? A speech is just that. Doesn’t mean a damn thing. Actions speak louder than words.
@S M No, I'm not a donor.
I am just a Democracy loving, Constitution respecting, retiree.
@zamfambam And your comment does not mean a dam thing.
@@sandrac6875 neither does that dumb ass speech. Americans need assistance, they don’t need a fancy speech. Americans need assistance not Ukrainians!!! Democrats have messed up everything the pass 2 years. Keep believing what the left tells you. You idiots keep voting for them. You all are the problem! Bet you’re the same people that complains about high gas, food prices but still vote for Democrats because they have fancy speeches, the audacity
Nice going Hakeem.
You make your country PROUD!!!
After listening to his speech, I feel hope, optimism and relief after years of being saturated with anger, spite and hate being amplified by the media click culture. At last, the legislative successes over the last two years have airtime. Positive, openly but respectfully challenging, presenting governing principles driven by unifying values that successfully frame a party platform. Very good.
Almost everything he said we need the opposite of is what their party is doing. U guys are to blind to see that? It was a bunch of words that mean nothing to their party. They do the exact opposite of what they say they are going to do and then blame the other party for doing what they are doing. U guys are really that blind you can't see it? U guys go by emotion. It sounds good so they must be good but their actions show its not. Nothing but division from their party. They attack any African American that runs for any political position if they of a certain party. Biden attacks half the country when he speaks. Remember his speech with the red background. Yeah this party really unites us.

Wow, so glad I stumbled upon this amazing and inspiring speech. This is what true leadership should sound and look like. All hope is not lost if we do the right things and truly put country above self.

True indeed!

Usually great speakers don't make great leaders.Perfect example is Obama.
I'm just watching this all the way through and he was awesome ☺️👍🏿👍🏼👍
Hakeem Jeffries, not only honorable, but a phenomenal orator. He spoke with such passion that it made me cry. This leader is what we need in this country now, he gives us hope, inspiration, respect and so much more.
Thank you and God Bless you Mr. Jeffries 🙏
Jeffries is good. Good at twisting God's Word! Let us never grow weary in fighting for reproductive rights. Let us never grow weary (cough) in fighting for abortions. Go Jeffries!👍
@@beckyspitzack4265 one religion should not talk for everyone. No one asked you to abort anything did they? So butt out of other people’s lives.
@@geminigirltwo Jeffries did! He quoted from the Christian Bible. He called for Abortion Rights according to the Holy Bible.
@@beckyspitzack4265 pretty disgusting of him.
How could you say that? He lied about 5 police officers being killed at the so-called January 6th insurrection! Zero cops were killed, and the one that did die, died of a stroke the day after! The only one who died was Ashley Babbot, who was murdered by the racist cop inside the Capitol building! And the cops who opened the doors of the Capitol building are treated as heroes!
I watched this live. This clip was the highlight of the evening. Nice one Hakeem!
I also watched this live and was astounded!
He's going to go a long way in this world. Sharp, open and very wise.
Great speech! Clear, concise and Inspirational!
Sir!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Magnificent speech! What class!
What part of the speech was your favorite?
He would make a great President one day!! Thank you Hakeem Jeffries!!!
You nailed it my friend Hakeem Sekou Jeffries

Shout out to everyone,, stay away from virtual gold and try to buy physical gold because America spent $203 billion on nuclear programs
@@serhatkaya7089 yeah that nuclear program had a breakthrough with the fusion energy test but lets ignore that
What a terrific speech, loved how he rolled threw the alphabet every letter, for every republicans negative, he had the democrats positive, whole speech was brilliant
💪🇺🇸💪🇺🇸💪🇺🇸
hello how are you doing
Yes, he was SCHOOLING the GQP with the ABCs of the Democratic (AND democratic) vision!!! PERFECT!
@@time4sanity yes a very confident and clever man, I’ve many a time listen to people attempt that alphabet referral to current situations, but never have I witnessed it so well done, with such ease and the compassion, it came so easily for him, he is another gentleman of the Obama style beautiful
Everything sounds positive. Will it be delivered? Women lost the right to choose. When will our freedom to choose be restored in all states? Both Democrats and Republicans give huge handouts to the horrific industries known as the meat and dairy industries. We don't get to vote on this. Both parties are bought by the same lobbyists.
What a beautiful man and soul!I'm honored!
Hakeen Jeffries is a true gentleman and future Presidential Nominee.
You are delusional, we have already had an empty suit of the “right” color - no more!
🙏✊️😎💯💪🗽🌉🌉🗽✌️😁
2028 hopefully 🤞🏼
In your fucking dreams
Just another diversity hire
I could listen again and again. NAILED IT!
And that’s exactly what I’ve been doing, a powerful speech makes you want to hear it over and over.
Yes!
Epic speech!
You better preach Jeff!! Don't let the "Haters" distract you as you are going to go FAR!!!
A star is born. Great speech. We support you from Oakland California.
From Sacto, Calif. We support & believe u can heal America!
Whew that speech was visionary!
Self satisfied lawmakers who have presided over middle class wages and minimum wage that has not gone up in a generation. Lobbyists run our government and the people in that chamber will all become the beneficiaries of 8 figure fortunes while earning low 6 figure income. For shame, Democrats.
And a declaration as well... Get ready for some insanity, gaslighting and general banal from the Republicans this next two years. That sermon he gave at the end really summed up what we are up against.
@Hispanic American Yes, his style of speaking can be viewed as stereotypical... but don't let prejudice against Blacks speaking intelligently make you miss out on the passive aggressive call to arms against the Right.
But if you really are an Hispanic American and not a 🥥... you had better hope that the Republicans never get back into political power again. They WILL show that ass who is White and who is not really quick.
@Hispanic American the Russian r-at has been found....
I agree that was very good, I hope he runs for the prisedency
WOW!!! What a leader he is. I am so thankful for congressmen/women like this. It gives us HOPE! Thank you Mr Jeffries for being there.
What an awesome speech from A-Z. YOU can't get any clearer than that. You go Hakeem Jefferies!!!😇
Yeah Love his Lies ! But I wanted to see the smoke and Mirrors like a True DemoRat !
Watched this brilliant speech live and had to watch it multiple times it was so positive and inspiring!! ❤The shouting throughout his speech was extremely rude. He showed grace and professionalism. He deserves his time! It’s not his fault republicans took 4 days to vote for a leader. What a contrast to the speaker’s speech.
lol
As much as i respect the house minority. He made a mistake in not putting Liz Cheney on the ballot and support her. They would have gotten republican and all the Dem votes, which would have been a bypolitical support. His ego went over him and he did not take the chance. They will now complain about the Republican majority, which they had on their hands to change. Please don't complain no more if trumpism take over, your egos are beyond the country, when time comes you defend your own interest, not the country.
Powerful! Extra applause for taking us straight through the entire alphabet without skipping a beat. This is what leadership presenting itself, looks like.
Great speech? The guy repeated the lie that police officers has been killed on January 6 and invented that the freedom loving people are fascist while those who support fascisme (governments taking control over the medias and big corporations to push a socialist systeme) are for freedom. That was a piece of garbage and it's shameful that anyone is dumb enough to not be repulsed by such lies. They day you'll use your brain you'll finally realize that all the freedom loving peoples (MAGA) were not racist at all and your idiotic way to avoid seeing it was to applaud our censorship and refusing to talk to us. You are the cultish side who applaud the social rejection of peoples who didn't wanted to take part in the mRNA experience and still you're saying that We are those who are practicing exclusion. How pathetic...
No, this is what pompous grandstanding looks like... It also shows you how strong a throat he has. The number and size of the lies he told without going hoarse is amazing.
@@brianhurtado7089 Right, just showing off with all that class, and brilliance. If I were a Republican who voted for Trump, I would hate to see McCarthy have to follow this incredible speech. 👏
@@brianhurtado7089 ok then dude...since you put it out there...exactly what lies...now i hope you are going to come back with the something that has substance not just supposition or hearsay
@@Jacksmithstandby I'm an independent who voted for Trump, so I don't care how McCarthy followed anything up. Jeffries did not display ANY "...class and brilliance..." He displayed nothing but partisan leftardation. He also LIED, repeatedly. The one thing that swamp creatures and their leftist fans don't realize is that the concessions that the RINO McCarthy made makes his grasp on power very tenuous. This is PRECISELY what has been lacking for years. Those that opposed McCarthy were actually concerned with the ineffectiveness of "business as usual" in Congress. If you understood even a little about how much the House has wiped their collective @55 with the constitution, you might rethink your position... but I digress. To use the term "rethink" implies that there was initial thought, and your post indicates otherwise.
Hakeem Jeffries is the one to watch in coming years.
Absolutely 💯
yes because we all love race pimps.
For sure 💯💯💯💯💯
especially if you need division in congress...
