I've probably watched this speech 5 or more times and it still brings tears to my eyes. Every time.
I'm an anti-theist, and I'm stone-cold inside.. This pretty much moved me to tears.
Ooh! ooh! Is this like 2 truths, 1 lie?
I consider myself Christian, and I loved this speech. Thank you for separating faith and Christianity from political ideology and cronyism. Thank you for appealing to all the other aspects of moral duty that so many self-professing Christians on the right fail to defend. Most of all, thank you Rev. Barber for presenting a truer picture of what it means to follow Christ.
Rev Barber all I can say is wow!!!!!!! The young turks was on your speech like a football game. So from me to you. Touch down! Majoe
I'm an atheist and I like this guy.
As an atheist, I appreciate when Christians practice what they preach when they say to respect and love everyone. Too many hypocrite Christians out there I'm glad this guy's not one of them and is on our side.
Well all he has done here is preach
Yes, a religious leader who has preached to millions of believers that they should respect everyone, even atheists (or "Nones" in general). I'll take it!
And, Gabe, you didn't even do that. Just showed your ass.
can we just elected this guy for president?
I third this nomination.
I fourth this nomination.
Yes! I wish, he's both constitutionally conservative and liberal, but the most important thing is this man is the truth.
7th that
not unless you want to live in a Christian Theocracy!
goddamn he says humbly like it's a musical note in the orchestra that is his voice
Hillary won't do anything this man said
That is why I call this dude a sell-out.
+thenowchurch Rev. Barber is anything but a sell out.
***** Exactly loooool
This was so refreshing. Thanks for showing it. Rev. Barber brought tears to my eyes.
'We must SHOCK this nation with the power of Love.' Indeed!
Agree. We should shock this nation with the power of love!
rofl !! what does that even mean????? i heard NO SOLUTIONS!! just a bunch of nice words like "we must all love" lol ok im sure the youth gangsters in democratic cities could care less about nice words.
+Ancar Willis Who on the planet doesn't understand that we SHOULD act that way? Other than sociopaths and just plain horrible people? That's like a guy getting on a stage and saying "pedophilia is bad" then everyone cheering him on like he just made some mind-blowing revelation. The people who don't feel that way or don't care arent going to be swayed by this kind of thing. This reverend is (ironically?) preaching to the choir.
Ancar Willis i think you missed the point....the scapegoat the left call "acting on fears" are actually SOLUTIONS to the problem...its the lefts inability to admit the problem while burying your heads in the sand...this is one of the main reasons why 7 years ago as a young adult i stopped with the democrat party and joined the republican tent....saying nice words feels nice but it is actual answers the people should be hearing.
James McConnie Lol the left refuses to admit what the problem is... No we just have a different perspective and have reached different conclusions as to what the problems actually are, and we feel that your solutions are to radical and ultimately more detrimental than beneficial. That said if neither side can admit there is merit to the others then we'll never move forward. Every situation is different and there is no one side that's right all the time on anything, but we're at a point in our history where neither side wants to acknowledge this so we have to fight as hard as we can to get our voices heard because if not we'll just be brushed aside.
+James McConnie -At least he is saying nice words, what the hell are you doing?
I'm 100% Agnostic, I LOVED that Guy!!!
And Rev Barber loves you, take that to the bank!!!!
I can be whatever I wish, without being judged by you, I live in a Secular Society. I can also Love & admire Christians, Muslims or Atheists
People got saved and the holy ghost hit them, they didn't even know it. Loved every second of this speech. Amen!
"A brown skinned Palestinian Jew". I'm going to keep that in my tool bag. Love this man.
I'm an atheist and I wanted to hate this guy. Loved him!
Chiamaka 926 Yes, especially if they are clergy (because of how they trick stupid people into giving them money and respect). But yeah, in general terms, the more outwardly religious someone is, the less I like them.
💚✌
This guy gave me goosebumps holly shit
awesome, I am looking for this EVERY Sunday in my community
The Reverend William Barber RULES`!!!!
That man Dr. William Barber not only preaches the sermon, but he lives by those words! Moral Monday movement, it has helped bring light to the horrible conditions(schools, civil rights, human rights) brought on by the conservative N.C governor "Mccrory"and the rightwing politicians in our state of North Carolina!
Cenk, it's not a speech. It's a sermon. A sermon on justice.
not saying this to insult Cenk. the black church has a long history of speaking out against social injustice. my point is that it comes from a place of faith, and to show that not all of us Christians are hyper-conservative kooks.
Can we vote for this guy instead of Hillary?
Reverend Barber thank u for speaking truth to power u r indeed a righteous man and gift of love to humanity
love the man: used 'Hallelujah!!' as a mic drop.
As an atheist, all I can say in response to this is PREACH IT REVEREND!
Please keep your atheism to yourself.
+Chiamaka 926 we will when you keep your religion to yourself. But anyways, this speech was great
+Chiamaka 926 We don't live in a Theocracy!!! He has every right to voice his opinion because the First Amendment TO THE CONSTITUTION gives him that RIGHT!
+Chiamaka 926 -His point exactly! You don't listen do you? He was preaching to people like you, respect others, and stop being a buffoon!!
Brilliant speech! He brought it home! Inspiring.
All you faceless cowards disrespecting Rev. Barber only wish you were this courageous. BE QUIET!
I originally learned about Barber through TYT - and was blown away by him then and now I am again.
You can see it really hit Jimmy Dore. He went dead silent (normally a total sarcastic, constant motormouth). He even ignored the others talking around him, and he was leaning in to listen. I actually think that surprised him and hit his heart. Nothing to really say about it, but maybe we will start seeing him begin to evolve. Idk. It was just something about his reaction. I would love to hear his real inner thoughts about it. Oh wait I mentioned Dore. Here come the spit comments...while ignoring the real moment we just saw there. A man that looks like the words touched his soul. Interesting
Could you guys SHUT UP while the man is talking? Make your comments AFTER the speech.
I know lol! I wished the guy next to Jimmy would shut the hell up!
You can watch the speech on it's own you know.
great speech, and i am an a atheist
Beautiful speech! Giving him a 100/10! Ive never been fired up by a speech from a preacher because im atheist but you cant deny the power of this speech.
Yeh atheist here too. And I could feel that rush of blood trough his speech.
He made me miss going to Church on Sunday. Great inspiration, top 5 of my list of people
Why would you miss not watching football?
+TheJimtanker I'm not that much of a sports guy, and I was talking about when I was younger (I'm 25).
he's speaking truth to power. Just like the late Rev. King did. Love this man! he even exits the stage like King did! Love lives. Love wins!
I biggly like! I'm ashamed I never followed Rev. Barber, but bet your ass, I will now. This is the poetry of our time!
this guy is a hundred times smarter than cornel west. he should be the professor and west the silly preacher
I was waiting for people to start shaking on the floor and speaking in tongue.
+Meg Oh believe me I did, I had the spirit in me holler lew yah.. I couldn't of been the only one...
Shut up Meg.
Great speech. I love how he basically dropped the mic at the end. :-)
One of my favorite speeches of the whole convention.
Another great speech was from the father of slain Muslim soldier Humayan Khan (died from suicide bombing in Iraq). How powerful was it when his father held up a copy of the Constitution and asked Trump if he had read it!
Worthy of coverage....
He did speak very well.
TYT talked all over it in their reaction stream
That's what our nominee should sound like!!!
That was the most eloquent Elcor I've ever seen.
I feel sorry for people who disiked this video.. you must have no love in your hearts.
Who's watching this in 2020? I am, cos this is more relevant than ever
I may not agree with Rev. William Barber that Hillary will do everything he talked about, but he stands before her and says she needs to keep her promises, I have a feeling she'll listen to him. He's a powerful speaker, and the little that I know about him has impressed me. I hope he has the chance to keep his presence felt before her, maybe then we can be sure that she will do what is right.
He is brilliant! What a wonderful man!!
Moral defibrillator of this nation! Awesome
Is it too late to vote for Rev. Barber?
That man is a born leader
he came down off the top rope with an elbow smash against the gop wow
That's my Hero right there...Represent my home State...!!! Let's do it!
Wow, I was just #1600 thumbs up. Is there a heart in this house? Is there someone with a heart for the poor, moral defibrillator, wow, wow, wow! And a Hallelujah mic drop!!!
The GREATEST SPEAKER AT THE RNC AND DNC COMBINED HANDS DOWN!!!
This is giving me CHILLS!!!
Love how he talks about morality!
What a great speech!!!! But there was too much love mentioned and it upset some of the people below. WOW
2nd best DNC speech of all time, behind Obama in '04
He & Mrs. Obama are true Americans, no malice, no hate & no Donald!
Why the heck is they're doing an ROLL CALLS on "GET YOUR BACON GREASE?!!?"
Take Clinton out of the speech, and I love it!
I'm Muslim but i think he's great!
Great message.
It's just too bad that the conclusion, electing Hillary Clinton, is a non sequitur.
Was that Kareem Abdul Jabbar they cut off at the end?
The heart collapsed
I guess I believe in reincarnation now. Is MLK back?
Some say as the Revered said the magical words "Palestinian Jew" Dave Rubin just evaporated in the air screaming like a banshee.
Can anyone confirm this?
LOL hes going to invite some like 4th rate hack "scholar" to come on to his show for a "debate" just for that one line id imagine
Finally something I can listen to from inside that convention. He was a Bernie supporter
He sounds like MLK
I love that he made the list. The revolution lives…
Awesome speech - thanks for bringing it to my attention; unfortunately I had to switch to another YT channel to watch it without the interruption of TYT commentary. I like to hear your opinions, but not interrupting a speaker. I have to say that sometimes the cross-talk gets so chaotic that I just cancel the playback and move on to something else.
TYT has to comment on it, since they are using the stream of another channel (probably C-SPAN), and it would be copyright infringement if they would simply put the video up.
Amazing speech.
Does he have his own TH-cam channel or podcast ?? Somewhere that has a collection of his speeches & sermons?
Loved his speech!
I love TYT but do you really have to talk throughout the speech? It would be nice to actually hear it, I had to open another youtube video because I just couldn't take the commentary WHILE the speech was going on. It's not a football game.
That shit gave me chills to
Martin Luther King Jr part 2. I'm impressed.
Dude pulled no punches
the funny thing was that when he said stand up nobody stood up. That's how you know that there weren't enough black people lol.
I noticed the same thing, but then I realized... I think it's because everyone already was standing up! He should have said, "Get up on your toes and jump up and down!" :-)
Rev. Barber always gives me hope for mankind...
speech was fire
That was beautiful!!! Fantastic Rev. Wiliam Barber!!!
Exactly. I was surprised that that this very liberal reverend was allowed to speak at the DNC, then he pulled the Bernie Sanders trick of listing all the progressive talking points and then pivoting to HRC. Almost got it right!
Powerful shit, man!
Damn. He should run as President. I'd vote for him....TWICE!
WELLLLLLL~
this amazing speech gave me chills...amen sir
Me too, unbelievable, I would move to NC if he preached every Sunday!!!!!
Amazing speech, off the charts!
You KNOW this chap likes his Pacino movies........ I was sure he was gonna shout out "hoo haa" any moment during that speech !
Speeches like this make we wish i was American. You truly believe they are the greatest nation on earth
It never a nation that makes it great but it people in that nation at make it so.Then you have Trump that makes Americans look bad to the rest of the world.
He almost makes me want to vote for hilary... almost.
I think it was King Agrippa who said something similar to Paul...and we see where that got him!
Koch industries ads have come up a lot b4 your videos recently :s
Yesh, I just thought it somewhat ironic :s
Wonderful speech.. I bet the stadium was going crazy
He dropped the mic....
that's just how he walks. his arthritis has caused a few of his back vertebra to fuse. Just walking without his cane is hard for him.
I know! "Hallelujah!" = mic drop :-)
Lmao I wanted to see Michael Jordan's, I mean Kareem's speech!!! hahahahahaha
All he needed was a choir in the background and this would have been perfect, he absolutely bodied this speech..
funny how this guy is preaching for the one thing that will tear ALL of us down if its not eradicated..
Wow. Gave me goosebumps. Outstanding!
Great speech!! and I know I'm dating myself, but you guys' commentary remind of "Mystery Science Theater 3000."
00:15 "Time not important only life important"
"im getting chills"..."yh, i got chills too" loool oh, john
I'm part of the moral monday movement, and I really like the Young Turks's commentary - thank you. Except the dude on the right ignoring the speech and playing with his phone for all to see. disrespect there.
They're able to pull up the text on their phones as well, I'm pretty sure he was just reading.
I think they are also trying to track people's live Tweets to see how people are reacting. Ana talks about that fairly frequently. Although Jimmy did seem surprisingly unimpressed.
Ayyaa muuddda fuuggan aaamaayynnnn!
This guy is a badass.
