I love that’s it’s become a thing to react to Mister Rogers. He means so much to so many, including me! I’m 42, I can’t and don’t want to, imagine a life without Mister Rogers’ influence. ❤
Mans passed away in 2003 not 10 years later the nation starts going dramatically downhill. Not saying it's the only reason but without him I genuinely feel the mental health of the nation gone down. Like without this guiding force of a man so many young people were led astray
I am about to turn 49 years old. Mr. Rogers taught me to be kind, and inquisitive, and just a good person.❤ I wish all children today grew up on him.❤❤😊😊
Mr Rogers has 3 Degrees one in Child development, 1 in theology and the last one in music. You need to realise this money did help to keep Sesame Street also.
Fred Rodgers is in my brain right there with Steve Irwin. So happy my parents played him for me as a kid even though I’m a millennial. I loved him, the world will never forget
Mr Rodgers taught us love, kindness, acceptance, and emotions are okay and love isn't transactional. Steve Irwin taught us the wonder and beauty in the world around us and how to appreciate it with respect and curiosity. Bob Ross taught us accidents can become beautiful things, to try regardless, to appreciate art and appreciate "failure". Sesame Street taught us literacy and math and movement.
I don't know about the rest of the world, but to me I say that here in the U.S we need to start playing Mr.Rogers reruns again. Sure his show was made a long time ago but it is what is in it, along with how he did things when tackling a issue that makes it practically a show that has no life span and can live forever to help teach our kids both the positives and negatives of life.
I watched this testimony in real time! I have my great grandmother who raised her children, grandchildren, and now two year-old great grandson on Mr. Rogers and Sesame Street.💛
Talking about mental health was simply NOT done back then even 20 years later when i can remember, it was still something acknowledged but mostly ignored. I had to pressure my mother about 20 years back to see someone for her own mental health, because the stigma was still there in the back of her mind.
Small note too. Wen Senator Pastore says, looks like you got the 20 million... That was in 1969 money. That speech of Fred Rogers? That earned PBS the modern equivalent, in that moment, of $172,814,647.89 that's 172 MILLION dollars in funding. So... give the man a round of applause for getting a politician to part with that chunk of change.
It breaks my heart that he is no longer with us all, but I am, sadly, grateful that he did not have to deal with some of the horrible stories of modern children that we’re all hearing these days and how they’re driving teachers away from education. ❤RIP Mr. Rogers❤
I watched with my little boy, now 49. I suspect that you would really enjoy watching the movie about him. It starred Tom Hanks. I'm thinking it was titled a beautiful Day or in the neighborhood. It was wonderful. I find you delightful. 😊 Thank you for your reactions
I remember Mr rogers. Every morning, every afternoon for the first few years of life. Here was a man so well revered by the public that when his car was stolen and the word got out, the thieves returned his car, buffed, detailed and with a heartfelt apology note the next day. Fred Rogers cared. And if we could all be the people that mr rogers thought we could be, we'd all be alot better off.
I remember watching Mr. Rogers when I was young. Granted, it was toward the end of its run (born in ‘94). I really liked the show. I think I watched his show and Wishbone more than I did Sesame Street. Funny enough, I ended up being able to attend Rollins College where he went to college as a music major ❤ felt surreal. In 2021 they actually put up a statue for him between Knowles Chapel and the Annie Russell Theatre. There’s a little self guided walking tour offered every year in March on weekdays if you’re ever in Winter Park, FL
Senator John Pastore was really against the idea of public tax dollars going to fund television and television programs. He was the most hard-nosed guy on the panel and was really against the idea. After Fred Rogers spoke he was probably thinking to himself "I don't know if we should be funding PBS but we damn well SHOULD be funding this guy"
Yeah, a lot of people respond to this video, and its pretty awesome. However, the rest of the story is this: PBS *was* gutted and killed, its assets mostly sold off-- by the republicans, just a few years later. This speech meant a budget that covered PBS *that year*. The republicans completely killed it the second they could. Sleep tight.
I am a little bit paranoid that I got this video up on my feed after watching the Fred Rogers documentary (on MY TELEVISION, not my laptop where I am now!). ANYWAY, I watched the Fred Rogers documentary just an hour ago I finished. I was in tears. In tears for appreciation for what he was doing, but also for what we've lost. Not just him as a person, but we've lost that standard that he had --- don't show children pictures of people bopping each other in the head when they're mad...don't show children people shooting other people. He's so right. Children are impressionable. I was crying about his story....but manily about OUR story. Children are doing "first shooter video games" That's so much worse than what he was advocating against. OMG. It's hopeless. That's why I'm crying. I just saw his documentary an hour ago.
Can you imagine what the woke would put this man through if he were alive and doing his show today?? I'm confident he would never be swayed, and our children really need this kind of superhero today! Sesame Street sold out. Their program is like Oscar dumped his garbage can out on a trampoline!! I'm 58 and my I hate that my grandchildren don't have anything on TV today that helps them the way this man helped me and my little brothers and kept us from killing each other!😂😂 💛💛💛💛
@cpmf2112 depends on what you mean by woke because it's definitely not the case when it comes to children. He would've been up in arms against this gender ideology being taught to kids. His simple statement "a girl can someday become a lady and a boy can someday become a man" would have him labled a bigot by a certain group of people. I think you are using the word woke differently from the one using it in the original comment. There are 2 different definitions. This is why I don't use the term woke, because we end up talking past each other.
@@robbinsnest6163 the fact is you have no idea what Mr. Rogers would have said about that and no one else does either. Feel free to believe what you like but please don't put any of your hate on Mr. Rogers.
@@cpmf2112 i don't have hate and I can know what Mr Rogers thought of that topic because of the song he wrote "Boys are boys from the beginning," he adds on the original clip "of you born a boy you stay a boy... girls are girls right from the start. If you born a girl you stay a girl and grow up to be a lady. Everybody’s fancy, Everybody’s fine. Your body’s fancy and so is mine." Speaking to the interviewer he said, "sometimes children think that they might change - they might have to change after a while. And you know, we laugh about that now, but it’s because we had that concern when we were little." The interviewer Carson replied, "Yeah, because you’re really not sure and you thought maybe you’d become a girl, or a girl would become a boy, right?" Rogers responded, "Exactly." The song also says "Girls grow up to be the mommies, boys grow up to be the daddies. Everybody’s fancy, Everybody’s fine. Your body’s fancy and so is mine." You can keep your head in the sand but today there are people telling children the opposite and that my friend is hate because it is denying factual, scientific and biological truths rather than dealing with psychology of it all like Mr. Rogers did.

12:50 "someday a girl can become a lady. And a boy can someday be a man. "... imagine that now this statement is considered hateful by a certain group of people that are pushing an agenda on kids that teach them they can be the opposite gender. Mr. Rogers taught tolerance in the truest sense. Now it's been twisted to mean something else, and if you go against the form of tolerance, they peddle, you are the bigot... Mr. Rogers would stand against the form of lies being pushed on boys and girls today...
I wish kids throughout all of time could be guaranteed mentors and educators like Captain Kangaroo (my mom still talks about his influence in her childhood), Mr. Rogers, Sesame Street, Zoom, Out of the Box, and Bob Ross.🥹

Sesame Street hadn't even debuted at the time of this hearing. We may not have even seen it at all without him.

As a Gen-X, I'd say Rogers's message resonated across our generation, so that it take hold in the next.
He was such a gentle and kind man.

Please bring his program back into the media. We need his personal teachings, along with other programs like Reading Rainbow.
Absolutely love the Mr Rogers. RIP St. Fred
I wouldn’t be as compassionate or caring or complete if it weren’t for Mr. Rogers☑️

I’m almost 50 years old and I still remember the lessons I learned from Mr. Rogers! I am a better person because of Him!

💛💛💛 Mister Rogers' Neighborhood was a staple for me. I watched everyday.
My opinion is that mental health is talked about more in our current time because, we share more about ourselves on social media
Neighbourhood expression of care 💞

Thanks again 💕

Check.out Mr Dress up. It's like the Canadian Equivalent

Now PBS is total propaganda ... miss you Mr. Rogers!!!😢
I always found his voice creepy to the point I could not watch
