I can’t believe I am
Listening to the TEAMSTERS AT RNC
No kidding, lol! Teamster leadership told ALL their members to vote for Biden in 2020. I'm sure one of his Teamster buddies will be speaking at the upcoming DNC &/ or Biden fall rallies.
@@acfanter I can believe it, because Donald isn’t a true Republican. He ran as a republican, since he knew he would not win and an independent. He has the same ideals, you can see them in speeches that he made before he became president all those years ago. He talks about taking down these special interstellar group, go watch some of the speeches at the work economic forum that he use to talk at. He personally invited this man to speak at the RNC, this is not surprising at all. People should see what type of man he truly is.
Lol I thought the same thing. I walked by the TV in the other room and saw that banner and said "well that's different"
People are leaving the Democratic plantation.
I couldn't hardly believe my ears! O'Brien spoke forcefully & was well received. What a brave move by Trump!
Our problem now is teachers Union!!!
As a IBEW member i agree totally. That union i have always thought was evil. To hide behind a union when children are involved is low.
American Federation of Teachers leaders are commies.
Government unions in general are a problem.
Indeed!
💯. Not all unions are the same.
As a former teamster I was incredibly proud of this moment!
This is historic
Im in tears - I’m so proud of this guy my Grandfather- would be shocked but know everything he says is true
36 year retired Teamster here, 1988-2024. This is truly amazing. For my entire membership tenure the rank and file had many, many Republicans while the Teamsters leaders were blindly Democrat. This is both shocking and refreshing.
Please research worker's rights bills and assess the Republican versus Democrat votes on each. I think you might be surprised. A lot of these guys, including Hawley, vote for Right to Work laws.
The IAFF is exactly the same. Rank and file are mostly red as the higher-ups are blindly blue.
Really… who’s blind..
“Many Democrats are no doubt fuming that O’Brien is playing footsie with Trump even though Trump and his party opposed what was long the Teamsters’ No. 1 legislative priority, the Butch Lewis Emergency Pension Relief Act, a bill that devotes $86 billion in federal funds to rescuing the pensions of over 2 million union members, including over 400,000 Teamsters. After the Democrat-controlled House passed the bill in 2019, Trump and the GOP-controlled Senate did nothing to advance it.
After Biden was elected, he successfully pushed to enact the Teamsters-backed legislation. The House approved it, with Democrats voting 235 to 0 in favor and Republicans voting overwhelmingly against, 29 to 168. The Butch Lewis Act was passed in 2021 as part of the American Rescue Plan that not one Republican senator voted for.”
31 years CWA . Yep!. Stay to support the cause, but don’t believe in most of what they say
@@kitskivichright to work laws are necessary to keep unions honest. Without them the unions are free to collude with the company to the workers detriment. The unions need to prove that they are a benefit to the to the worker and worth worth the dues they are paid.
This is the new labor party that works for the working man! Proud #MAGA union hand here!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
@@SOKYRIDGERUNNER amen! I worked at a chemical plant for 33 years and was a faithful member of the OCAW and the Republican Party. Then we merged into the USW. The straw that broke the camel’s back was when the USW supported Biden in 2020 after Trump had brought back so many jobs to the US. They never got another dime of my dues. I’m glad to see unions waking up to who really cares about them.
@@SOKYRIDGERUNNER
Lmfao!!
sMokyRidgeRunner? hehe anyway tbh, i also am in a union. its the only reason the rr doesn't get away with job raises below cola (cost of living adjustment) - wait, for 10yrs they did. and the dam msm reported as if we got an undeserved ~25% pay raise LOL. no it was a basic4% for the cycle of trade agreements that were $hit. it should've been 70% but that's mho(to put us back on par with utility/powerline workers). so IF u wanna work certain jobs, u r gonna hafta pay union dues. at first u think it really sux. but it sure seems like the big corp that owns ur jobsite sure love to threaten u with loss of service every dam minute of the day... just being real. sometimes it sux when u run across a coworker who should be fired/ never hired (thanx dei) but often it sure helps when u r needing a friggin sick day. we had 1 for the first 10+ yrs of my service. and i've always been a maga.
Lmao! That’s funny. Especially since your cult leader doesn’t pay American workers.
Me too!
I’m a democrat turned independent. This is an excellent speech. We need more collaboration like this.
We can... Trump 2024!!
You're part of the #walkaway #walkawaymovement campaign that's been rising like crazy.
congrats on your change !!!
Isn't it weird how the party proclaimed to be the "bad guys" are genuinely trying to come together and prosper....
Meanwhile, the "good guys" peddled so much consistent hate, it literally lead to lead being fired.
Thanks for reminding me to do that switch.
There is a reason this guy is President of Teamsters. I instantly respected the energy pouring out of him.
And common sense.
The man has no spine. Ask the UPS.
Me, too, but not instantly. I think that he is a great guy.
I'd respect the guy if he was representing all voters not a sliver of voters that belong to a union where he and the union management are lining their own pockets with union dues and special favors from the government politicians.
@@dbmn7571 they may be lining their own pockets, but i work for UPS and believe me, the benefits that we get are beyond amazing. we have one of the best health insurance policies in the country and we don't pay a dime for it. nothing comes out of our checks for insurance. The Teamsters pay 100% of the premium and the coverage is incredible. we have a pension plan, vacation, holidays, and job security. It's almost impossible to get fired unless you really fk up.. you have to almost want to be fired. Union dues is only 2 and half hours a MONTH (so if you are getting paid 32 dollars an hour then that is 80 a month and it is split weekly... so 20 a week) and we get yearly raises. by the end of this contract in 2028 i'll be making $30 an hour and when i started 11 years ago i was making $8.50. So he is lining my pockets too.
I was blown away by Sean O'Brien's speech. I agreed with everything he said.
The Democratic Party definitely didn't see this one coming.
I’m not big on unions, truth be told I don’t know much about them so I can’t put them down either, but I know this was big.
@@bullgravy6906same.
There is something powerful to acknowledge tho: elites knows no party nor nations. They care only about their own and power.
And weve seen them in action. The tides has changed in unimaginable ways
@@bullgravy6906if you can get unions on the right, culturally, the Republican Party could be a power house
❤
You got that right! He made the whole convention look like idiots. They were all clapping for a Teamster. A teamster who dressed them all down and they still clapped. 🤣
38 yr member, never before have I ever heard the president of the union representing all of the members!
Same here 15 yr Teamsters.
Same here, 35 year ex-UPS retiree Oakland CA, Local 70.
8 years IUPAT industrial painter here. Our leaders are still in the grip of democrats. Sad
When Biden broke the rail strike in 2022, I thought it was a huge mistake. (I might be Conservative, but I sure as heck never cross a picket line.)
For sure, there were issues with the transportation of goods in this country, and the economy was in a problematic state (all thanks to Bidenomics and Biden's cosy relationship with the corporatist arm of the Democrat party)... but I don't think it was Labor that was at fault. There are so many problems in the Supply Chain, a lot of it due to the radical Green agenda and the way BlackRock & Vanguard & other Wall Street players own the railways.
Dont unions take money dues run they are told by ceo of the universities, they’re not important they go buy whatever the university wants, and the worker gets screwed
wow. Trump just continues to put icing on the cake. Never voted for him but I have to say he has my vote now because of how in touch this was with the pain that Americans feel every day.
Welcome aboard..🫡
I love Sean he's a good man. As a Trump supporter we need the Teamsters. Trump Vance will do more for the Union than Biden ever would.
Obiden can't get as much $$$ from labor unions as he does from China.
I'm a member of Local 340. There are a lot of teamsters who voted for Trump and will do it again. Love seeing Sean speak at the RNC. So over joyed to see Trump working with the Teamsters. ❤
And with this the working class made a big step forward
You are so right Sean definitely sees the light good for him remember yellow freight went out of business under Bidens watch Sean you are awesome 👌
I'm speechless after listening to this man speak his mind! The Teamsters should be very proud to be represented by this man!
@@funk7875 we are ✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽
He doing such a good job
Mr. O’Brien made a powerful speech that will draw more union members to vote Red. The man spoke truth.
Truth:
“Many Democrats are no doubt fuming that O’Brien is playing footsie with Trump even though Trump and his party opposed what was long the Teamsters’ No. 1 legislative priority, the Butch Lewis Emergency Pension Relief Act, a bill that devotes $86 billion in federal funds to rescuing the pensions of over 2 million union members, including over 400,000 Teamsters.

The Butch Lewis Act was passed in 2021 as part of the American Rescue Plan that not one Republican senator voted for.”
Never in my 68 years of life would I have thought that
Teamsters would rally to a Republican candidate.
The Trump effect is indeed an awesome force
@secretspy4819 yes at the same time the Biden ....whatever you want to call it is also a big factor
Unions and worker class are TIRED OF THIS SHEET
As a Union Carpenter in Baltimore,and a Republican I was damn near speechless! Now if we get the Carpenters, IBEW, and the other trade unions behind common sense politics we would all benefit.
Biden has created 15 million jobs trump lost 2.6 million
Right on Mr. 1st teamsters to do this. Wow just wow 👌
This was a watershed moment - recasting the Republican party down the center lane of the American people and American life. Awesome!!!
Shocking! SO IMPRESSED! STRONG. HONEST. BACKBONE. He told it like it is! I hope USA listens. WORKING PEOPLE NEED BENEFITS AND PAY
History in the making!!!! Over 100 years that the teamsters haven’t spoken at this event and Trump makes it happen!
But he's still anti freedom. He doesn't believe you should have the right to work places without being part of a union. Don't be FOOLED!
History being made?
@videodistro
Lolz, yeah...
Magahats are not getting it whatsoever...
The union boss got to say stuff their ears never hear about regarding who's pulling the strings against them, and yet they confuse his speech as being in support of Trump.
Oh well, you can lead the horse to water but you can't make it drink it.
Forbes knows this fact, yet they spin a false narrative around that one quote totally devoid of the overall context of the speech... as expected.
typical, Trump knows how to get ppl together even if they oppose each other. Talking promotes understanding so preventing misunderstanding. That is how you deal with other countries too as he does so well.
TH-cam keeps deleting comments. 🫣
I’ve never been a big fan of unions, even though I belong to one. That said, I respect Mr. O’Brien for delivering this speech and for reaching out to the other “side.” He made some excellent points. I think that there is a lot that Republicans and Unions can agree on. I also give credit to President Trump for his willingness to extend an olive branch and try to expand the party’s tent. Bravo to all involved.
Thank you Mr. O'Brien for telling the truth your speech gave me hope. Bless you and your family and thank you PRESIDENT TRUMP for inviting him to speak.
The truth..?

@@FrankieDee-hc8ji 🤣
But republicans are against unions trump would be great if he went this route we shall see
I was really surprised. Never has anybody made me get even remotely excited about unions.
@@mistadopeman The crazy thing is this exactly what unions reps need to be doing. The union has people from all walks of life as it's members. They should be speaking their message to all political sides. Workers rights is not a left or right leaning conversation, it is a human one.
@@TheHollomap Yeah, I’ve worked for a company that does logistic and I talked to teamsters all the time. This was like 4 years ago and they were all Trumpers. This was nice to see.

Same!
Right there with you brother !
Me too
Same here brother!
TRUMP 2024!
MAGA!
America needs a strong President and there is none stronger than President Trump.
It's about time the Teamsters realized that the Democratic Party DOES NOT SUPPORT THE WORKING MAN. (Former Teamster here.)
It's better for them to support a criminal who is also a sexual offender?
Welcome to America!
@@bissonlouise9061listen to the speech my guy, he is blasting the Republicans in front of them idk why the Republicans seem to think he supports them
This speech was outstanding. My father was able to retire at 54 years of age because of his Teamster pension and because the owner of his company was selling it to family and my father had no intention of working for them or being used for information. I'm so grateful my father could retire so early because we spent the best years of our lives together. We had time to enjoy each other. Thank you teamsters!
Same with my dad and before he died he voted republican. He voted for Trump
As a UPS Feeder driver, this was a pretty awesome speech and I'm proud to see the leader of the teamsters supporting the man that is going to make this country great again, Trump 2024.
I hear ya. I was a center clerk at the Denver hub. It was awesome!

Mr. O'Brien speaking truth and rocking the USA ! So AWESOME!
Finally, a union boss includes non-union workers in a speech in a positive way.
For many, union membership was not a realistic option.
Great Post!
I knew he was speaking with conviction, but I’m not a union guy so I wasn’t connecting too hard to it. Then he said “and I stand for all workers, union or not” or something along those lines and I immediately thought okay this is a bigger deal than I’m realizing
Both union and non union need each other for strength. The non union workers should be getting treated so well to not have the union that the great treatment should trickle down into union jobs as well. And the union workers should be getting such great contracts that it trickles into what non union workers are also given to keep them as workers. We just experienced this after the boom of President Trump in office and the American worker was once again needed and valued. I left the non union job for a union job because that union job was struggling to find workers. Not too long after I left, that non union job had to change and started offering more benefits and ant across the board higher raises for all workers just to retain the workers they had left, as union jobs were picking off their workers like crazy. Now the non union job is paying comparable to the union job and giving even better things as far as vacation and stuff, along with treating workers better to keep them non union. And it's the first time some of the union workers have left to go with the non union job, which will then have it's affect on keeping the union workers happier because they start to struggle again to find workers. They need each other.
That's nothing new. Not all non-union are in a position where they're scabbing.
Unions historically get gains for their workers and then the fear of unions brings in benefits to all of us.
Sean O'Brien speaks the Truth about American Workers & American Workers MUST come 1st!!! Those We Elect MUST Put American Workers 1st!!!!! Unions are NOT The Problem!!! I was a member of the Teamsters & I am very Proud to hear Sean O'Brien address the RNC with President Donald J Trump "Standing In Respect" for the American Worker!!!

What message: That Donald Trump will let union Jobs go to China?
A Teamsters Boss giving a speech to the RNC in prime time.
Nothing makes sense while everything makes sense these days…
It makes absolute sense that he’s there, because Donald Trump personally invited him. Donald trump isn’t a true republican, he believes in his country and the people. He wants to see people do well in general, he’s not a corporate politician. He has an old speech about getting rid of the special interests, and he knows what is really happening… most of the Republicans don’t even like him. They all betrayed him, and he is trying to fix the wrongs of this country.
@@onionsbroccoli-on6jfRepublican and democrat mean nothing. We have an authoritarian statist mono party. I don't mind unions when corporations are government assets.
@@mr.brenman2132 just as I said, Donald Trump isn’t a Republican. That’s why I said that, he’s just a person who’s trying to run the country because he knows what’s happening. We got to see this speech tonight, at the RNC which would never happen if Donald Trump wasn’t there. We know that the powers that be, do not like people seeing this. The system isn’t broken, it’s suppose to run this way. We have a responsibility to change it.
It's not surprising at all.
Biden broke the railworkers strike in 2022. Biden Democrats choose the Green lobby, BlackRock & Wall Street (who own the railways) over the Teamsters in 2022.
This is not surprising, at all. Donald Trump is not a true Republican, he’s a Republican in name only. He invited this man, because he actually believes in these ideals. You can see in some of his first speeches before he became president, that he wanted to bring down the special interest groups. For some reason my original comment got deleted, but this isn’t surprising at all. He’s not a true Republican, he just had to run as one because he would not have won.
This is huge. The Democrats have had the teamsters vote forever. F.J.B.
My Mom was one of the few ladies in a Teamster Office 40 years ago. So my Mom was a Teamster and my Dad was a skilled tradesman in a union in the car building industry (rubber company before that)!
What I like about Trump….. he knows our US needs jobs here! After that let the negotiating begin!
Wow! This man scored massive points going to the RNC! And you know what, he was welcomed! This is what America needs! I have never been pro Union, but tons of respect for General President Sean M. O'Brien!
This gentleman has made some real points. I am not a big union guy, but these multi-national corporations do not care about the country. People need to be paid for their labor, but no matter what you pay someone inflation destroys their earning. I know I am shocked every time I buy groceries.
I retired from a union!! This man has integrity and balls it’s about time we hear from an honest union rep!! God bless America!!!
He speaks directly at odds with what the precepts of his union require. Trump, the Federalist Society, the Trumpian hordes who occupy GOP leadership positions in state and national legislatures and courts, have ZERO intention of doing anything that will benefit unions. They didn't back in the first administration, and promise to actively rip out the remaining legislative supports for collectivization in this nation.
Stunningly shallow perspective - what a sad putz of a man.
He does a good dance
I worked for UPS in Denver. This takes massive balls.
agreed
But he's still anti freedom. He doesn't believe you should have the right to work places without being part if a union. Don't be FOOLED!
IMPORTANT SPEECH THAT EVERYONE NEEDS TO HEAR!
My father worked in a paper mill with a strong union in the 1970s. Our family was comfortable. I am in tears listening to this. God Bless President Trump.
“Many Democrats are no doubt fuming that O’Brien is playing footsie with Trump even though Trump and his party opposed what was long the Teamsters’ No. 1 legislative priority, the Butch Lewis Emergency Pension Relief Act, a bill that devotes $86 billion in federal funds to rescuing the pensions of over 2 million union members, including over 400,000 Teamsters.

What’s the difference between Teamster and union
@@Mattthecat888 it’s the same thing. But there are different Unions. I believe Teamsters are like the backbone to all the unions from what I understand. The Union keeps it fair to the little guy. They can be a strong arm against corruption. For instance you work 40 hours a week and anything over that is time and a half. Thank the Teamsters for that. Your Saturday and Sunday off is another one.
Ive been a life long Republican and i am so proud to see Donald Trump and the RNC reaching out to Sean O'Brien and inviting him to speak at the convention this is what this country needs is to listen to people and work for the betterment of the nation Sean's speech was incredible and on point and truely showed what this nation needs.

Loved this speech and love to see the Republican Party is changing for the better
I was a Teamster once. Best danged job I ever had. Glad they seem to have some based leadership these days, and happy to hear their endorsement for President Trump.
I’ve done enough research to know that if President Trump had a (D) next to his name rather than an (R) and did absolutely nothing different from 2016-2020, Dems and Libs would herald him as one of the greatest of all time.
They haven't endorsed just yet.
He didn't outright endorse President Trump, but it feels like that will come Thursday.
I didn’t hear him endorse Rtump
@@shelleywinters2582he showed up, because he wants to work with us and unify this country through American workers. The Dems told him he was a traitor for showing up. This is a huge paradigm shift. With Trump he will siphon the blue collar workers and bring jobs back to America, who will then help rebuild America piece by piece. Need Teamsters to help make this happen because these corporations are using us, sucking us dry, and working people to death, all while using their profits to buy off politicians who do nothing for the people. It all goes together.
As a Proud Union rep I fully support Donald Trump for President!✊
I was intrigued and enjoyed the speech by Sean O'Brien. He speaks the truth.

This just gave millions on union members the permission to vote for Trump.
Brilliant move!
The word 'permission" was probably the wrong choice on my part and I apologize for I did mean to offend anyone.

You can vote 🗳 who you want to vote for.....🤷......just means a percentage of dues on a union financial pie 🥧 chart goes towards the Republician Party 🥳.....might cover the spread and give half to Democratic Party for insurance 🤔
The fact is that no one needs a union until they suddenly do.
Don’t need permission from my union I’m my own man
Most Union workers already voted for Trump. Get a clue.
I would like to apologize to the Union President Mr. O'Brien...I was mad at him and the congressman trying to fight...This dude is a true patriot 💯❤🇺🇸

It’s about effing time. As a Teamster, the majority of us are with TRUMP. The union leaders around the country need to wake the hell up and realize it’s not 1960’s politics anymore. There’s been a political realignment, right and left don’t mean the same things anymore. This was a bold, smart move by Sean O’Brien and I appreciate it.
Total BS. Teamsters are with Biden. O'brien is selling out his people.
A political realignment. R and L is not what it was decades ago. That is what I realized 30 + years ago and I tried to inform others of it, to no avail and was futile. They are stuck in an obsolete mindset without knowing the actuality of subtle and subversive events.
I call BS on your majority claim. Most of us know who he is and what he represents. Trump does not care about America, only staying out of jail.
Haha, didn't see your post and I just about copied it!
I guess you will forfeit your teamster pension since not one republican voted to save it. Joe Biden saved your pension.
Thank you Mr Teamster. Not beholden to any party. That's what we want.
Don't let anyone own you.
As a 20yr proud union member, I’m completely floored to see a Teamster’s president at the RNC.
But he’s not wrong.
The rank and file have known that the Democrats haven’t really supported us since what? Kennedy??
After that it’s been lip service while organized labor support was taken for granted.
I wish I could agree with him that the workers own this nation.
We run it.
We don’t own it.
But we can balance the power. Trump really did support the American workers.
That is true. He got rid of NAFTA which hurt ALL American workers in or out of unions!
Your boy works for the Corporate powers and uses China to make all his merch, but you want to rely on him to get our economy kicking? Don't be silly. He's playing you all.
NAFTA is absolute garbage. Seriously?
I never saw this coming. I am gobsmacked.
Good word!! lol! I like it!
It’s just a speech listing grievances. Really not all that surprising lol
@@Bobo-jy5mgI’m sorry that’s how you see it…
@@franlynch9428 What’s true is true 🤷♂️ He spoke it at the RNC but otherwise the speech was pretty typical in terms of content
Wow! Agreed! Great speech! Finally I'm hearing someone speaking my language. Thank you President Trump!
While I’m not a union member nor have I ever been. But I really like this guy and his speech. It’s awesome to see and hear him at the RNC. God bless America and all the hard working families. We will make this country truly great again together.
Donald Trump working with the Trade Unions. Everybody has forgotten that. I'm glad that The Teamsters is also working with Republicans.
Who was Trump's labor sec in 2016 and what did he do for your union? Who led his FTC and NLRB and what did they do for Unions? How did his SCOTUS picks rule on recent union cases?
@@DaTooch_e Yes, but you've got to understand it's not binary anymore. The MAGA crowd mainly comprises the working class and even includes many union members. The Republican Party is going through an ideological transformation because what is growing their base is very different from the old guard. Just as the Democrats have abandoned the working class and now primarily represent elites, Big Business, and special interests.
@@DaTooch_ey'all having to dig deep for shit these days.
@@testickles8834 lol keep the blinders on sheep
Great job teamsters union leader!! That’s a true LEADER!!
Impressive energy!!!
Teamsters are a large piece of the back bone of 🇺🇸 America 🇺🇸
I was a union member and highly believe in them! For SKILLED labor, not the high school burger flipper unions that are shutting fast food chains down. Just look at what happened in California recently.
Great speech Mr O’Brien . Here’s to the Teamsters.
International brotherhood of electrical workers union (IBEW) needs a president like this. Teamsters! you are lucky! The rest of the unions are stuck with the same old promises and lies from the Democrats. Hope the other unions follow suit. Trump 2024
Unions elect their leaders. Too many members remain quiet and complacent because it's easier
Run your mouth and see how long your on the books next time
lol Who was Trump's labor sec in 2016 and what did he do for your union? Who led his FTC and NLRB and what did they do for Unions? How did his SCOTUS picks rule on recent union cases?
Probably not for long. Pray. ❤
You can still vote for whoever you want to. Just because they say vote for a Democrat doesn't mean you have to, but it is good that they have such a well-spoken representative who actually cares about their best interest and doesn't just collect union dues for nothing.
This will be looked upon as the moment that the party of the worker switched to the Republican party. One of the greatest speeches I've ever seen.
He didn’t switch to the Republican party, this is about human rights. Donald Trump brought him to speak, not the Republican Party. He is not a true Republican, Donald Trump actually talks like this in other speeches before he became the president. He talks about special interest groups, that are hurting our country and other parts of the world. You just haven’t been paying attention, this is not a republican standpoint. This is a human rights standpoint, which Donald Trump believes in.
Yes me too... exactly.
Absolutely. Wish my local union-leading parents were alive to hear this speech. Unions work when they put workers first.
Are you really that niave???
He is for unions, not workers.
He's still anti freedom. He doesn't believe you should have the right to work places without being part of a union. Don't be FOOLED!
@@onionsbroccoli-on6jfTrump has been very anti-union during his presidency, he just uses pro-union talking to get elected. Don’t fall for it again.
Retired union member here, he speaks TRUTH
wow Sean O'Brien was amazing! Told it the way it is.
This union leader is knocking it out of the park!
But he's still anti freedom. He doesn't believe you should have the right to work places without being part of a union. Don't be FOOLED!
@@videodistrobot
boy is he EVER!!! ❤❤❤
@@videodistroso you don’t want to be paid what you’re worth? Get the benefits you deserve?
I work for a Company that has manufacturing locations Unionized. Unions can be problematic at times (especially with workers lacking efficiency and constantly stating that it isn't their job when you try to improve processes) but they are a necessary evil. I have seen the Unions be a little more cooperative with Corporations the last few years. Definitely respect this guy for speaking out at the RNC and he has a passion for his workers.
God bless Donald J Trump. God bless the United States of America. God bless the R.N.C. God bless all of us. Thank you for speaking at the RNC. Sean Obrien
❤️‼️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
HOW AWSOME! MY UNION PUSHED DEMOCRATS! 30+ YEARS NEVER VOTED DEMOCRAT EVER! PROUD UNION RETIREMENT FOR ME!
What an absolutely unbelievable speech, wow!!
Trump changed to the Republican party from within. Something like this would not have been remotely possible without him.
or in the DNC!!!....
Because... Trump isn't a Republican. He ran on that ticket, since he would have lost as an independent years ago.
Trump has ruined it.
@@gumbypokeyBecause the DNC is too invested in Walmart and Chinese companies.
Trump puts America first. Union workers benefit from his foreign policies as much or more than any other segment of society.
If Trump is pro union he has my vote. Not just the teamsters but Postal unions, and all other union workers who work hard and stick together for fairness and dignity.
He ain't so vote for Biden.
He is, and just gave this union leader primetime in an RNC convention! You'll never see Democrats this open-minded! They just tell you the same lies and identity politics to divide us.
No way you're actually considering Biden
@@AllThingsSoulCope
I know Trump is for American workers. Biden is a globalist.
Welcome to the team!
Never been a union man but ill tip my hat to this man
I'm a retired Teamster Local 283 Detroit. Donald Trump President of all the people.
What’s a teamster
@@TheTightSqueeze
Holy cow you don’t know what a Teamster leader is??? Look it up this is a very powerful man.
@@TheTightSqueeze When you learn to read, then you can look it up.
@@Aleka1943 He can't read!
I'm the daughter of a retiree of Local 337 in Detroit. I'm so proud of everything the Teamsters stand for.
Teamsters are now Republicans ❤we are ALL patriots😊
This wasn’t an endorsement lol
@@Bobo-jy5mg In a way it was !!!
@@joycesims5242 Except it wasn’t, especially if they end up endorsing Biden in a couple weeks. They said they’d announce their endorsement soon and insiders are saying it’s between Biden or endorsing no one this year.
@@Bobo-jy5mg Well Bobo, I guess you know it all. We'll see in Nov. I am not a teamster but I like what this guy said. He tells the truth. Not everyone is a Lion..
@@joycesims5242 Lol, we’ll see in November…? We’re talking about who teamster will endorse… not who will win in November. Trump will probably win but that doesn’t mean he therefore secured teamster’s endorsement
Absolutely loved seeing this.
What an amazing speech spoken from the heart.
You can see in president Trumps face hes so sad about what happened..Hes sad because someone lost their life that day and others were injured..😞 Im thankful he survived. RIP Tto the father that took his life so that our president could live to change world…♥
Very nice insightful and thoughtful comment here !
I told the same thing to my husband as soon i saw President Trump. He almost died. That has to be a hard pill to swallow 😕. He looks so sad
That so-called sad look is really him wishing he would've never invited this guy to speak because he doesn't agree with one single word he is saying.
@@yaninvargas9192 If trump wasn't on the part of the speech where he was talking about what's on the jumbotron, he wouldn't be alive. Lord Almighty protected him, telling him to move his head last millisecond.
😂😂😂 are you high? Trump doesn’t give two shits about anyone but himself!
never been more proud to be a Teamster , standing strong with president Trump .
That’s a hell of a president you got for your union. You’re lucky.
Amen
I’m a republican , I’m a 20 year member of the ibew , this was so well spoken. America needs more of this !!
God bless you...former teamster from UPS and couldn't be more proud to see this.
This is why Trump is the great unifier.
LOL, you continue to be bamboozled. He can't wait for this man to sit down and shut up.
@@AllThingsSoul You're the one bamboozled by the DNC..... year after year you suck up their lies like it's Mother's milk
@AllThingsSoul then why would he invite him in the first place?
@@AllThingsSoulwhich one is it? People like you say trump is a narcissist, yet you also say he can’t wait for this guy to sit down and shut up, yet a true narcissist would be rolling in the glory of having an entire speech dedicated to him, so again which one is it? The maths Not adding up once again.
@@AllThingsSoulcope and seethe
A real Union representative. Wake up.
Absolutely!
Praise God this voice is at the table! His parting words about his ability to exercise his freedom of speech because his union protects him is golden!
This is the most proud I've been of my union in my 20 years of service. Thank you so much for this, local 533.
I spent my first career and retired as a member of the FOP. Started a second career and am a proud Teamster working in EMS. THIS Teamster Brother knocked it out of the park and finally speaks for the vast majority of his constituency. THANK YOU!!!
#TEAMSTERSFORTRUMP
That’s a hell of a president there speaking for the people
Bravo, Sean O'brien .. powerful speech.
I am listening to the teamster union leader and actually agreeing some of what he is Saying! This is a time of miracles.
For the first time in a long while, I feel hopeful about America's future, as the recent tragedy seems to have brought out the very best in President Trump. 🇺🇸
