A dying man had more life in him than I think I have ever had.
YES,MATT.
Very hard
The best part is, this was not a prewritten speech. It came right from his heart and I hope we all take it to heart.
3:45-3:49
@@robertschiff8312 he needed the numer, a fact, and had to look it up. He also said where he got that number from.
@@robertschiff8312 - I rather have Cumming look up the exact number whilst giving a not prepared speech as someone like Trump who just makes up numbers when he goes off the rails.
Late Bloomer this is a man that walks with God because he begins with forgiveness but carries a big ass stick
The heart. Lol
Not many modern speeches bring tears to my eyes. This one has always, even how many times I've heard and watched it. You will be sorely missed and you were indeed a champion of our democracy! Fare well Mr. Cummings.
this is the kind of speech that goes down in history as defining an entire era!
indeed.. i hope Cohen really DID take this all in...
Your a dumbass to believe that kyry...whatever your damn name is.
Jay Mun insults are words used by those that have a lack of arguments and education thanks for proving it so easily with such a lame comment...
@@skytrotter6144 How about this: A man who has been proven to fleece the public BIG TIME for years has just done to you what televangelists do to suckers every day.
Congratulations. I hope THAT brings a tear to the eyes of everyone here!
Congressman Cummings if the politicians cannot put aside their political differences and have respect for your words, than I see little hope for this nation.
I FEAR HE WAS THE LAST HOPE FOR HUMANITY
@@danny111ization he was a great man and this was a Very underated speech that means alot for this country right now especially deep into the Pandemic
Over 60 million babies die of abortion and he was champion of supporting abortion. Black people been deceived 80 years of supporting liberal politicians who supports abortion. How can you praise and worship God and support killing innocent babies, that’s mind boggling
WE ARE BETTER THAN THAT. Well said Rep. Cummings. ❤❤❤
But is today's GOP better than the circus they put on during this hearing???
@@evatripp4520 Not a circus. It is a hearing to expose this corrupt President.
This old racist fool is so filled with hate for the President that he couldn't wait until Monday or Tuesday after the North Korea and USA summit to hold this circus. Democrats had rather get blown up than Trump be their president. LMAO at you foolish fools.
Carefully worded, thoughtfully spoken wisdom. Thank you and I am so happy to know you are chairman. Keep up the good work. Again, thank you for your service to our country.
He paved the road for us. We just need to stay the course.
Let's do him proud.
Amen to that. RIP
Amen Amen✔💯🗣
Yeah. Tell that to the people of Baltimore.
I just want to tell you. We did him proud.
RIP Elijah Cummings. We lost a giant with this man. 😭😭😭.
A giant crook!
a giant Poverty Pimp. He's like the HNIC in the 1800's who KEPT other Blax in poverty.
A giant!!! No one knew who this man was till he jumped on tv spreading his misguided ideals. He was NOT a giant, he was a fool.
Thank you Mr Cummings.
Thank you for truth.
Thank you for compassion.
HIS WORDS MEANS NOTHING ! HOW CAN YOU SAY HE HAS COMPASSION WHEN HE BACKS KILLING BABIES AT BIRTH . DISGUSTING !
@@barbaram7829 you know that babys dont get kiled at birth ? you should stop taking drugs and go back to school
barbara m why are you concerned for killing ? You’re speaking a lie about baby killing. But your ok with high price drugs that are vital for life. You voted for that. You kill. I ‘ve heard some of say to kill liberals because they don’t agree with your sickness so don’t tell me me Cummings or anyone else in the Democratic Party wants to kill babies you have not read the law and therefore your misleading
barbara m
Hysteria is a bitch, ain’t it?
Ajisen Ramen all an act for public consumption. You notice for any investigation when they”say” this party or that party or individual is guilty they never requests a grand jury? B/c they r not interested in the truth. Only want to give u enough information to deceive you or sway your opinion. The truth would be political damnation for these cronies.
Congressman Cummings today you made America proud! I applaud you!
Yes lord he did!!!
el viego
Great speech. I hope MR. CUMMINGS’ side is blameless. As we know, none of them are.
GOD BLESS THEM ALL TO DO BETTER IN THE FUTURE.
Yeah let's let the man who is a felon and lied under oath to Congress again have another chance. While we're at it let's just let the murderers and rapist out to :D
Remember truethevote,and how you tried to obstruct ? Mr.cummings,I bet Catherine Engelbrecht does.
You do understand the absurdity of your comment? You admonish me for speaking for America then you presume to speak for the nation! I don't speak for the racist white nationals....there are you happy?
Mr Cummings lays it out very simple from an Elders point of view. Much respect to this leader.
RIP Elijah Cummings. You dedicated your life to civil service, fighting for equality. Condolences to your loved ones; you will be missed dearly.
Lmao ripping off the people....Cummings did just that!!!
@Post Malone It's a good thing.
@@painkillerjones6232 🐀💀
He was a bad man. God punished him.
No he didn't all he did for 50 years is say everything and everyone is racist never fixed a thing but him and his young wife did get rich off the backs African Americans who were suffering
Beautiful! Well said! Thanks for trying to restore humanity.
Spoken with class, integrity and heart.
he misprounounced 13 different words

Prove it or shut the fuck up. We know you don’t like African Americans.
@Buc S Powers shut the fuck up, pondscum.
This gets me every time. Not only me, but the look on Michael Cohen's face. This great man and his great speech, should hit everyone!!! R.I.P. Congressman Cummings
Rest in eternal peace!
You're surely be missed.
Honorable Elijah Cummings.
What a great human being. May you Rest In Peace honorable Cummings.
Iraq Veteran yes he will
we wont miss him, a raving lunatic
roast in hell
From a proud Baltimorian, and Democrat..Thank YOU, Mr. Cummings! 😊Your words and wisdom strike deep. We ARE better.
@Bo R 👍😉
From another Baltimorian well done Mr. Cummings. You make us proud.
Jillian Adele: So if we are better than this, and compassionate to all, showing Mercy, surely we would vote for legislation that will protect the rights of a baby who by a miracle escapes an abortion and is born alive? Surely if we are better than that, we would not have voted against it? And failed to protect the most vulnerable in our world ( a baby).
"Do not ask why did it happen to me, ask why did it happen for me?"
Absolutely 100% spot on.
He just gave humanity a generous gift.
Use it..
Animo et Prudentia He has passed nothing to help America! obama, over 8 years, passed nothing to help America!
This was a guy that genuinely cared. It was clear as day
Too bad he ran his city into a rat shithole.
@@gc99289 I cant speak to his results (not from Baltimore). I'm just saying that I didn't question whether he was acting in accordance with his beliefs. He struck me as genuine
@@ramayaruk Wow. He flopped with his "genuine" effort to make Cohen look good and try and smear Trump. He was more focused on Washington games than his own town, which is a rat hole
"When we're dancing with the angels, the question in 2019 will be, what did we do to keep our democracy intact?" #ChairmanElijahCummings, you were indeed a CHAMPION for Democracy! I am completely heartbroken on today! May the memory of your life be a complete reflection of that greatest democracy, u fought for and so eloquently spoke of. May the Lord bless ur lovely wife, ur immediate family, loved ones, and the great city of Baltimore! Rest in peace-n- power! ❤ #WorldlostaCHAMPION #myfellowHowardBison #HUUKNOW -BBnBaB

Wow, I am not even an American and he almost made me cry, this is your opportunity to stand on, and really make America great again.
Same and I wholeheartedly agree!
He made me cry heavily and I'm not American. This is about humanity, our shared history.
It's always nice to see people from other countries not stereotyping our entire country to be like Trump and his supporters.
@@Funktaro5 you guys can really do better than Trump. As your allies we root for you every day but Trump has takes a toll not only on the US but on the whole world. He fooled the American people and his ideologies have fooled the world. To be honest, we all must do better, but the US have a responsibility to take a stand against Trump and say: this has got to stop
@@mygetawayart To be fair, he fooled like 25% of the country. And is still fooling them.
The other half of the Republican party did not like Trump, but chose party over country once he won the primary. Which isn't much better.
Those are the ones that really need to change. The ones that are still devoted to Trump after all this, I'm not sure there's any hope left for them.
Though honestly, our politics are so hostile right now, and everyone is just so much about "hooray for our side" (to quote Buffalo Springfield) that I'm not sure what hope there is for it to really get better any time soon.
Elijah Cummings represents the best of humanity.
And the best of Congress.
Anytime someone tries to claim that both sides are the same, that the democratic party is equally as corrupt and corporatist as the Republican party, just cite Mr. Cummings as an example of someone who has served honorably for many years without letting the establishment corrupt him.

I think I watch this at least a couple of times a week. It seems to remind me of what forgiveness is, what bravery is , what standing in solidarity is. I love my country and want to get back to us loving each other in spite of our differences.
Cummings = national treasure. He literally got me (and Cohen!) to tear up. Powerful words, powerful man. Thank you sir for being a true representative of the people!
omg really?
I got teary eyed too. Great remarks
Lol. "Progressive humanist" Just say "free stuff"
Progessive.
Me too. Elijah speaks the truth. He knows suffering, therefore he has empathy. Something sorely missing in most R's. 🌼

He is a beautiful, empathetic soul, the world is a better place because of this "national treasure". 💙💙💙💙

If they say people "Dont Believe"
I do, I'm here to support the people, I'm Christian and Republican I believe him the lawyer that came on live TV to tell the TRUTH God Bless you Michael Cohen . RIP Elijah your a great man
There is always two sides to every story!
🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳
May you rest in Heaven Mr. Cummings, we need more man of such integrity in our country and government.
You will be sorely missed.

Talking shit about a dead man of course, I knew there would be one idiot.
A NORMAL AMERICA! Nailed it. Cummings is a wise man and an all American hero. Americas Grandpa. Credit to Cohen for coming clean. Well done gentlemen!
Well sed/put.....
lol what else is he gonna do rot in prison?
Billy Smith he got caught. Cummings brought this witch-hunt, Kim Clement 2007 Prophecy On Donald Trump GOd said Trump will serve 2 terms,✝️
Donna Keizer lol no
Donna Keizer Cloud people don’t exist let alone talk.
Powerful closing statement from Mr. Elijah Cummings. I got to admit it really moved me inside. Well done sir.
Mr Cohen. ....keep your head up. You did good.
This moved you? lol
Every word that came out of the piece of shit's mouth was a lie. He would lie about his mother to get out of trouble.
Cohen is trying to make amends. There was no sugar coating in Cummings words but there was certainly feeling. What the US is going through with Trump will take a lot to repair, I hope this is the start of that.
@@JeffSpehar-ov1cn how much money the dems pay him to say all those lies?
This is worse than the Ford fiasco against Cavanaugh. The democrats said they believed her also . Cohen is saying what he's told to say , but what he doesn't know is the democrats protect their own with deadly consequence .
Does anyone want to bet on Cohen's life expectancy ? Cohen looks very depressed and is probably suicidal .
Elijah Cummings is what you call a true patriot. RIP Sir.
his best friend, Satan
@@lunafringe10 You must be responding to the wrong comment as your response makes no sense. You must be a Trump supporter, they aren't known for their intelligence.
@@lunafringe10 enough with the comments
@@lauralishes1 is that what you think?
I listen to this speech all the time. ALL THE TIME. Everytime politics get involved I think of this speech. I wish the entire country could hear this speech and take it to heart. No matter what side of the aisle you’re on we should all be better than this and bettering each other, instead of abrupt constant anger at each other, but that continues to be just a wish.
That was the biggest mic drop moment I think I've ever seen. I have not in my lifetime heard such honest eloquence. Chairman Cummings is a man that has clearly accumulated a wealth of wisdom over the years. He speaks as a man who has suffered, but from whom comes compassion, hope, and above all: love. Amidst some of the most powerful patriotism I've ever heard, I heard a man find purpose in the suffering of the penitent wrong-doer, and to, without saying so directly, he called upon us all, not just Michael Cohen, to make it right. To face our responsibility to our nation, to be better. There is a fragment of light, but it's hiding in the distance, as the lyric goes. There is always hope. It's on all of us to make this right, though.

@Mike Hunt your mind was made up before you even watched. And why the mean attitude and name calling? A member of congress exhorts us to be better and you disrespect him? That's where we are eh? Collectively in 5th grade... Sad.
Elijah hearing you speak makes me want to be a better person
Says another communist democrat........what maroons?!
U must be bottom of the barrel-- IQ under 60 club-- people are AWAKE-- ur a waste of time-- and energy-

It actually makes me want him to be a better person.
Toochie Toochie we need more just like him 👍✌️
Thank you, sir, for your service and your wisdom. Giving grace is the most magnificent gift you can give and receive. May you soar with the angels
Elijah Cummings was not only a great congressman representing my city, he was a great mentor to many others in Congress and in our Maryland state legislature. They will continue his good work.
I pray you guys have another person that's remotely close to being able to fill his shoes
Hes a racist nutcase
Mr. Cummings needed to speak life to this man. He needed to hear this!
Yes he did! Cohen broke all the way down. It was like he was being summoned down to alter call and the Pastor laid hands on him. It was actually heartening to watch.
Elijah Cummings truly restores my faith in humanity! I say this all the time...We are so much better than this!
I would like to believe that we are better than this, or that we can be better than this. But after so many years of seeing how bad people can be, I am not sure we are better. -- I liked that Mr. Cummings said we should work to make our democracy better than the way we found it. I still hope we don't lose our democracy. Yet I see it being chipped away, and not only by Trump and his followers. -- Yet still, I want us to do better as a country, as a planet or species. I don't think everyone has lost their way yet. But too many do not care at all as long as they get theirs, and that worries me for our future. -- But I'm glad Mr. Cummings can speak for what is right, for what we Americans ought to be.
Hate Spreader we’ll get there one day.. it’s a process & u can start with urself, ur family & community 🤷🏽♀️
Elijah Cummings makes me wanna do better
We live in a world where leaders are falling down drastically .. God bless & help us all... 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾❤️❤️❤️
HE VOTED FIVE TIMES TO ALLOW THE KILLING OF BORN BABIES< AND FULL TERM ONES, too That is just EVIL
I did not know the chairman personally, but at the time of his passing, I can only say it is incredibly melancholy to have lost one of our public servants. This speech is perhaps my favorite, and I think it is very telling of his character, something that is extremely admirable.
He was just another crook!
Matthew Thomas How in the hell was he racist? He was born into a society that considered him inferior and treated him as a second class citizen all because of his race. That makes him racist to you? He advocated for equal rights and opportunity for everyone. That makes him racist to you? He had friendships that spanned all races. That somehow makes him racist to you? Obviously, you don’t know what you’re talking about....smh.
Matthew Thomas being a white with mixed race kids I can already tell you that it is wrong you may find racist on both side but he definitely was not one and used what happened to him to make things better because he new better and obviously you don’t ! If I had a gun at home it would be to protect myself from you and your low iQ as you sound more like a guy that could loose it !!!
@Matthew Thomas You are obviously frustrated with life. It's sad. Hopefully things will work for you. Disrespecting an unblemished dead and much loved public servant does nothing to his reputation but does declaim your poor upbringing. Reverse racism is not a thing, no matter how much you wish it were.
Matthew Thomas reading your comments here in the UK there is obviously nobody as racist as YOU! Really shocking to read what you write & quite sad that you can write such things after this Gentleman’s passing. I pity you for the way you feel & speak.
"When We are dancing with the Angels the question will be asked: in 2019 what did We do to make sure We kept Our Democracy intact?"
Rest in Power. You were a hero. The rest of the answer is up to us.
Thank God for Mr Elija Cummings! There couldn't have been a better person to deliver that message. It brought tears to my eye's. This speech will go down in history!♡
speeches like this one I hope with all my heart will be recited and replayed for ever more for this United States of America.
Right, @Laura Juranek and Timothy Boyd. More people with a genuine love for our country are needed.

@bUH sNUH These lame asses are fake as FUCK!!!!!
bUH sNUH No... Your too funny dumb ignorant ass fool!
How dare the Republican Congress call this hearing a waste of time. Who are you speaking for? Are you so out of touch, that you forget that you represent the American people. We have a right to make our own opinion. CLUELESS!!
They were protecting president Trump the republicans did not want to hear anything against that orange turd
The Republican Congressmen have not represented the American people for a long time now, sadly said.
What did you learn from this hearing?
Exactly!
Shawnee Anderson I learned much of what I already knew, but I am getting tired of people telling us to look away from the train wreck and pretend it’s not happening!!
The lovable, Honorable Elijah Cummings is one of those rare men that were as forceful, passionate and just, alive or after passing. His voice will resonate far longer than men who have held much higher offices in our fragile democracy. May his soul rest in peace.
My heart breaks as I watch and listen to this video! Elijah was a great man, a real human being, he had so much to teach the human race. God bless him! It was all from his heart!!
Speak your truth Mr. Cummings. Thank you for that America just learned something.
interesting part is that the 2020 senate election puts the Republicans on the defensive.
Sorry there's no such thing as `your truth`
Cummings gave Cohen fatherly sound advice from the heart!❤ Very touching😢
he sure did and i thought i was the only one that notice that
It was. Cohen seemed genuinely remorseful when Mr. Cummings brought up his daughter.

If only we had more honest people like Elijah Cummings.
Watching this again and listening intently to Elijah Cummings I also watched a broken Cohen, someone who stood by what he believed in but was quickly discarded by D Trump.
No one ever notices the impact Cummings had on Cohen. He made Cohen weep. And me, too.

Am not an American. Neither do I live in America. But watching this and hoping for abetter world . I weep. May God grant him rest. Rip

I came here to watch this again after I watched Adam Schiff's closing arguments after the Fiona Hill/David Holmes impeachment hearings... because this was the speech that Schiff was referring to when he ended his piece, saying "in the words of my great colleague [Elijah Cummings]...'we are better than that!' "
I've seen this Cummings/Cohen video a handful of times now and each time it makes me cry. People are suffering because of cruelty, lies, and selfishness. And we feel that suffering and our collective hearts ache for the pain to stop because this darkness that we've been in for a while shouldn't be there. Not if you care about others and the light of the truth.
Cummings is saddened and angry too at how fall we have fallen. And it's clear he aches, too. But he also sees the hope in all of this... the healing that may come just around the corner (or even if it's miles and miles away). It's important we keep fighting for the good and against the bad...both externally AND internally... because each fight good wins puts us closer to that democracy and peace.
I bet Fox News didn't put this on their broadcast! This man spoke God's words! He moved our souls in the right direction! He took me to church!

@RPG 808 Show some respect to the Rat King. RIP(piss) Rat King.
How sad are the comments received.
You gotta have a laugh at these Trumpist remarks. Totally out of touch with reality.
It'd be funny if it wasn't so sad.
Elijah rocks like a king!
Strong words, compassion and very direct. This is what should be said to someone in his position.
Saw this live and was a powerful moment..
Rest in peace dear and gentle man. With great love and respect.
RIP sir. Thank you
thank you Mr. Cummings, your words shall live on, and your wisdom shall live on too. Thank you, Mr. Cummings.
Boy, I know that fidgeting. When you have someone that cares expressing their concerns for your actions and it hits you like a brick. Cohen was choking back those brick-hit tears. I feel like he was truly remorseful. He lost everything and he is cooperating with the investigations. Just sucks what his family has to endure with direct hits from who you would assume to be adults: the president, his lawyer, and Republican congressmen. I just hope this adds to and pushes forward the investigations.
And he also did it on national television in front of the world. I hate when I do wrong and have to face people to make amends. I can't imagine having to that in front of the whole world and know you are going to prison and have let your family down. He's not lying...the republicans are assholes for treating him like that after he volunteered to face them.
No one is above the law he did his crime he admitted to it and now he's going to do his prison federal prison time mind you.
I am curious. What was the story about Michael Cohens daughter that hit Cumming hard? Would someone tell me? Im curious but not that curious to watch 7 hours stream to find out.
@@Greendalewitch He was talking about how she has a brace in pictures like this:

Kevin Baugh that’s correct. Apparently she had just gotten hip surgery
I'm back here again and marvelling at the wisdom and humanity of this much loved, much missed leader. His legacy must be honored and the start of it is getting rid of Trump.
Damn skippy we Are better than this! RIP ELIJAH CUMMINGS YOU WILL BE MISSED XO
Baltimore will be "better" now that he's not holding them back. Unless they're ACTUALLY low IQ'ed enough to vote for "Elijah Cummings 2.0". as EINSTEIN SAID: Those who do the SAME thing over and over, and expect DIFFERENT results = insane & stupid.
@@dixonmicucci9271 Baltimore would be far worse under RepubliKKKans. They are intelligent enough to not vote for a racist, corrupt, criminal party.
Good luck America, You need all you can get right now...Still standing by you...Canada
...thank you Canafa..when we are "back to normal"...going to take a trip to your beautiful country...God Bless.
Thank you Alberta Wildcat. Canada is the BEST neighbor any country could have!
Make America Normal Again
M. T. Preach
Deon Brown I think what he meant to say was hail Satan
Normality is different for each person.
That part at that moment o felt like REP:CUMMING was the only one speaking concern for the American people i don't know half of what this wise person is speaking and has he stated what he has seen in the 20. Something year of sitting on the bench up close and personal dealing with lawyers and he stated he has seen far worse lord help us all for whatever to come.
America was NEVER normal! Just enjoy this real life comedy show.
Who is watching this now in October 2019 and not be moved listening to a real Truth. RIP Elijah
Why couldn't he have just declared war on rats in Baltimore, no for decades he truly let them multiply and become his legacy.
Really? So, all you gotta do to make up for a lifetime of pilfering is talk a good game of bullshit from time to time?
This still brings tears to my eyes. We couldn't afford to lose a good man like him & it shows. There's a hole in America's heart without you, sir. It breaks MY heart that you didn't get to see your country recover. That your last days had to be while we are at our lowest. I wish you could've left with a smile in your heart & not a tear in your eye. You deserve better.
" We are Better than This" Thank you Rep. Elijah Cummings!!
They all say that..lol
Swamp Yankee
Voting Trump out in 2020 will be the opposite of a waste of time.
Rest in power and Peace, Rep. Cummings. You wore your boots to the end. Icon.
When I saw Cohen walk into the court house and his daughter behind him on crutches it effected me. When Cummings said the samething had effected him when he saw the same video I cried. It told me so much about Mr Cummings (He was a good man with a better heart ♥)... RIP Mr Cummings. Dance with the angels 😇
Goosebumps. Rest In Peace Mr Cummings. You will be missed so much!
Cummings brought me to tears
I wish Cohen luck in rebuilding his life, and to continue to walk in truth
Walk in Truth???????????LOL LOL LOL LoL
you're sure drinking the Kool-Aid
I actually teared up for Michael Cohen towards the end! He is a broken man....
Which is why he is looking for redemption now and spilling the truth.
If they took a poll today he would get 80% approval rating from the American public. Kudos to Cohen for finally doing the right thing.
"Yes, I truly feel in my heart that he told the truth, I pray for Mr. Cohen and his family, and I hope that Trump will also have to pay for his lies and deceiving his wife and children, and also the American voters, Trump has lied to his base but they will find out soon enough, Trump has a whole lot to lose now and so does the GOP with their antics today, we need to get our country back again and the values that our soldiers fight for every day and die for, I am so sorry to say that this is not my president or commander in chief, I am ashamed of Donald J. Trump"!!!!! 😡😬😡😬
You're a fool.
@@JeffSpehar-ov1cn NO! The FOOLS ARE THE BRAINLESS IDIOTS SUPPORTING THAT DUMB ORANGE THUG
I watched this during the Cohen hearing. A defining moment for both. RIP Elijah Cummings, “dancing with the angels”.
"When we're dancing with the angels, the question will be asked: In 2019, what did we do to make sure we kept our democracy intact?"
Not many will be able to give a better answer than you, Congressman. RIP.
Indeed !!
No doubt
Don't know about after death some dancing with the Angel's expression, where did it come from,? Never heard it before 10/26/19. God's word says after death you are sleeping until the day Christ returns. Not dancing with no angels
Jean Ward he says it a few times it’s an expression of implying when you’re in heaven answering for your transgressions on earth.
Touching..I'm tearing up..God bless you Rep. Elijah Cumming.
Amen Amen
Brought me to tears. We are so much better than this.
Sheri Snyder AMEN.... took us to church ⛪️
Touching yes.....EliJ likes to touch.
@@cindygreen8475 I have just finished watching on c span and was brought to tears by Elijah. Fabulous, honest, truly heartfelt and a bitch-slap to that ignorant thug Jordan.
