@Fergustine Feart excuse me? can you please stop saying 'Race card' you may or my not have any idea how racism can affect a person's life. Okay there's no such thing as "Race card" please stop saying that.
I reject that the only explanation for him being a dick to AOC was that she was a woman. I imagine if AOC were a man he would have used a different adjective but kept the same message.
Johnathan Grey and she stated that she will ignore it as it inevitably continues. the reason she’s speaking on the floor is because yoho did so first, defending his inexcusable actions. it does happen and it will continue to happen unless people like aoc speak out against it.
I was not raised to accept abuse from women. I raise my children the same way. I also raise my children not to take someone else's opinion to heart. There's trash in both party's and to me AOC is trash.
Johnathan Grey no matter what field you’re in, there comes a time where enough is enough and you need to call out the bs in your environment, so she did
This is politics. They will always be at eachothers throats slinging vulgarity at one another until one finally can't take the heat and runs crying for help and starts pointing fingers at all the meanies. This time it was AOC that couldn't take the heat.......again🤔......ok so AOC can't take any heat ever.
Every once in a while, I watch this speech again. It’s so badass. It’s all so true. This speech isn’t partisan in any way. Really, it should be required viewing for every boy and girl who is old enough to understand the offensiveness of Yoho’s language.
I am 17 I asked a man who was maybe 40-45, to please put a mask on when he entered the restaurant I work at. He called me an AOC want to be. At the time I did not know what that meant. He told me to look it up. I’m proud to be called that. Even though he meant it as an insult I’m proud.
No, you can hear the emotion in her voice. But you can also hear her reel it in and stay on point. A woman who can control her emotions is impressive. These women in power are amazing!
@Patrick McMahon Then I should make it fair by saying men need to have control of their emotions too. I’m just implying that women are better at sensing emotion better than men, they’re more emotionally in tune. That gets hard to turn off for many people when they need to remove their own ego from the equation. That’s where judges excel. And ACB exemplifies it beautifully. You could hear a couple times where she sounded distressed. But instead of breaking down or firing back angrily, or even breaking expression, she maintained everything wonderfully and answered everything with a fair and level response! Most men I know can’t keep their cool and their women are just as crazy. Women like ACB are exceptional. (I know I couldn’t remain that calm. I’d be looking like Sylvester from Looney Tunes, pale and shaking!)
@@willgraves5848 Can someone answer why she is so much better than Biden or Trump. I mean she said Latinos are Blacks, lost 20k jobs for NYC, and said that looting is good. You seem like a reasonable person so I won't insult you. Bit I'd like to know why you guys support her, is cuz she's a women? Because for me at least someone's looks isn't enough for me to like them. Personally I would dislike Trump just as much if he was, black, latino, asian, or European. Same goes for Biden and her. If you ask me Biden>Trump; but I still don't like him. I feel calling her empowering isn't enough to justify what I explained. I'm just interested in other people's opinions.
@@brito50 He called her those things in public and unprovoked; then gave a less than half-assed “reason”, NOT an apology on the House floor (also, in public). He started the shit and she was going to let it go, until his BS on the House floor. Go watch his non-apology. It’s shameful. He had no cause whatsoever to call her names like that. She is a Congresswoman, no less important than he being a Congressman, yet he starts up with a finger in her face and raising his voice, calling her names. Do you know why he was upset? Because she said crime had risen in New York City during the pandemic because of poverty and unemployment.
Wow. She tore him a new one, in a polite and factual manner. No excuses, no bullshit. Don't know her, but huge respect for this woman, she clearly takes no shit from anyone. Right on. 💪🏼

Benjamin Quellier fair point but also I think OP is referring to the progressive movement of America. AOC is really starting to come of age politically as she amasses more experience. After this speech, murmurs of future presidential runs are being heard all around the country. Americans have been exceptionally blind as to how backwards our country is compared to the rest of the developed world. That illusion has finally shattered, and the scales have tilted. There’s simply too much at stake starting with climate change to go back now. Revolution, hopefully a peaceful one, is on its way.
Opaul lanolin: and you know this how? Are you creeping up on homes watching people threw their windows, reading books are you a therapist?

Because there ARE people who do not believe it's real. Hopefully you're not one of them. Thank you, sir.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has taken up her role as a Congressperson better than anyone - who had never held any kind of public office - EVER did. She is brilliantly intelligent, and her politics are SPOT-ON. There should be 435 of her in the House of Representatives!
I'm so glad she responded after Yoho tried to make excuses using his white male politician background, thinking that she was going to keep silent. Thank you AOC for standing up for me and all the women who put up with this kind of talk from toxic masculinity.
Tiffany D., Agreed! Yoho is an immense embarrassment to the male gender. I've had a lifetime of fucking sexism and it's time we got more women into political office. AOC is the way to go.
Wow maybe grow some lady nuts and don’t care about other people’s opinions? If you’re a nasty , disgusting, evil, billionaire banker backed, liar, dangerous, and so stupid she can’t comprehend a metaphor, you’re a very much a b*tch . She is using her gender to deflect any of the real criticisms he levied, it’s so pathetic and makes women look weak , you really care someone said a mean word to you ? All you see is her clips in the media , but in reality she is the enemy of anyone who cares about this country, and if you can’t take the time to find out who really controls things, if you really can’t piece they’re obvious agenda together just from what you see , you deserve every single mean word said to you. And I’ll say it straight to your face, because that’s equality, you can say any word to me all day long , but if I do it it’s bad. Grow up.
Yes! it's wonderful when some one who has power stands up for those who don't. So thank you to AOC from an ex-waitress who would have lost her job for complaining about this treatment!

Father Damien of Molokai who was canonized a Saint for his life work. He helped hundreds of lepers at a leper colony in Hawaii and later died of leprosy himself. Recently a statue in his honor was erected to celebrate his life and his good works. AOC decries the statue of St. Damien as a symbol of white supremacy. I’ll take one St. Damiens over a hundred AOCs. Friends of anti-semites who decry those who serve the sick and die in their serve are phenomenal, the former are not.
I’m a 75 year old British women who does not fully understand the ins and outs of American politics. Is it possible that she could go on to become President? She would be such an asset to the U.S. Intelligent, articulate, charismatic, she’s wonderful.
YES, it is certainly possible. Anyone can run for president and it is easier to do that than say, buy a gun in most states or getting a marriage license. The real issue facing her is that she is a Progressive who is also (and not by her own doing) a "populist" (or i guess rather say she is extremely "popular" just for being charismatic...) and that scares the crap out of both parties who are both run by very big money concerns terrified of her "Green New Deal" which would seem tame to anyone say from Denmark or Sweden or Germany but considering Petro money is given in large sums to both Republican and Democratic centrist candidates to maintain the status quo of the power elite here and across the world, AOC fuels massive pushback that translates into unseen undercurrents that work against her from the top down. My understanding of the "below the water line" actions against her online alone would confuse and terrify any normal person, she is on the main agenda of every anti-American, anti-progressive, pro-oil, pro gun, pro hatred and divisiveness party, person or politician out there. They will try and do to her what they did to Bernie Sanders but his popularity is nowhere near what AOC's is and she will win if she can withstand the barrage of hatred that she elicits from those who need us to stay dumb and powerless. The American progressive party hasn't seen someone this popular in my lifetime, and considering the Hispanic voter base is now massive in the United States, AOC could win the presidency--my hope is she runs in 2028 considering Biden will likely run and win again in 2024 in his last term and then it's up to the DNC (Democratic National Convention who basically funnel campaign dollars to Democrat candidates) who will do all they can to push back on her but will eventually cave because they will eventually be outed as anti-progressive and they would die in such light. Cross your fingers!
No, The Right wing press/TV has seen her as the theat for decade. She is the most smeared politician in America by a some way. Thus 50% of the population hates her. I think Senator is her ceiling.
I'm gen Z and I will be able to vote in 2 years from now on. If you ask me, then no, she's not my President and will never be. I can clearly see Democratic party's lies and hypocrisy. I'm not denying that Republicans aren't sometimes hypocritical, however on much smaller scale compared to their opposition. I'm right leaning libertarian and I'll be most likely voting Republican when I'll finally receive my voter ID. Democratic party has moved too far to the left, and while Republicans indeed have moved to the right, they're not as radicalized as Dems. What Democratic far-leftist voters are doing now in our cities, convinces me even more to vote for GOP. Have a nice day.
you miss the point, women should be treated with respect, but are you really willing to make being rude illegal? words are not violence and disrespect is not illegal nor should it be, also calling yoho sexist is a bit of a reach all he did was disrespect her for her beliefs she is not all women even if she thinks she is. but if being rude were illegal everyone in this country would be in jail
Sure, she boldly stood up to a fellow representative and has stood up to other rude, sexist men. But what has she actually done to make life better for her constituents in her district l, which I understand includes the Bronx and Queens? AOC is great at grandstanding and calling out GOP men, but how are her constituents better off than they were on December 31, 2018? You know, "the people who send me here everyday." She is fantastic with rhetoric but represents the problem with Democrats. Even when they have a majority in both houses and the presidency, they fail to execute.

"“Having a daughter does not make a man decent. Having a wife does not make a decent man. Treating people with dignity and respect makes a decent man.

Ironic that the same message representative Cortez speaks of clearly applies to you but instead you spew your sexist/racist bullshit and think your opinion matters. Alexandria Cortez is the future of America so take a seat and again shut the fuck up. Maybe if you actually listened to her message you would learn something. The future is female ✌🏼
Johnathan Grey It’s probably better they are dead than to be alive and see the failure of a offspring they produced. It doesn’t seem like you understand what future means maybe invest in a proper education? Didn’t say anything about Trump keep being the red loser you are and those dead parents will roll in their graves 🙂
Johnathan Grey this future isn’t even yours get a fucking ouija let’s see what’s your dead parents think and judging that they’re dead you’re an old white man who thinks they are still in charge
"Having a daughter does not make a man decent, having a wife does not make a decent man, treating people with dignity and respect makes a decent man." That is the words of a future president.
She nailed Yoho for the misogynist coward he is. If you don't have what it takes to respectfully work with intelligent women you're just pretending to be a man. Congress should formally censure Yoho.
Lmao, she is a bitch though. She's a socialist bitch. Her own people don't even support her anymore. She's an idiot, end of story. Funny how this bitch wants to play the victim role now though. She should be in jail for embezzlement of her campaign funds to her boyfriend
Sad thing is you seem to understand that the term 'Bitch' is specifically targeting to woman. Yet you still used it. So you are the same breed of misogynist as he is.
I would never say something like that, such talk is unrealistic and cruel, but this nation was founded and settled by anglos and germans. Just because people were living on the land that the nation was built on, that doesn't necessarily make them part of the nation. An especially poignant example, when the Aztecs conquered their empire (they originally migrated from elsewhere) the defeated tribes that continued to live in what is now Mexico were not part of the Aztec nation, they were subjects. I doubt the average person that would say something so antisocial thinks that deeply about it, but that is the spirit from which this sentiment comes from. The fact of the matter is, that modern Western nations are unique in allowing, on a regular basis, non-founding stock to become full members of their nation. This, however, will always be rejected by some, especially those founding stock who feel they have something to lose. By the same token, newer groups will always carry resentment for the founding stock as, inevitably, institutions and societal conventions will be easier to navigate for the people that designed them, for reasons having to do with both differences in culture and the prevalence of different heritable traits between the two groups. Efforts to change these conventions or provide restitution (from taxes) to groups that have difficulty will simply spawn more resentment in the founding stock. I would venture to suggest that pluralistic societies will always have such conflicts as long as scarcity is part of the human condition. This is not even going into the kinds of conflicts that can develop between multiple different groups of non-founding people.
History is so whitewashed and bias that Americans think that they weren't murderers who stole everything they had and then slaves build the country for them.
lineflyer1 I wish republicans used to be like how they were back in the 80s and 90s hell I’d probably vote red. They used to be super pro-immigration, and if they still were, the border jumpers wouldn’t even be an issue. People’s path to legal residence in this country would be so much easier.
I’m at 62-year-old man with two daughters in their 20s. I want to conduct myself and try to conduct myself, in such a way that my daughters don’t have to make excuses for my behavior. It’s difficult to break a lifetime of ignorant habits but it can be done. At least I’m trying! AOC is the future and with smart women and men like her, we can all look forward to the future. I’m tempted not to post this because you know the trolls are going to eviscerate me… Oh well
This was such a sweet and lovely message. :) I'm around the same age as your daughters. No one is perfect. The most important thing is that people acknowledge their faults and failures and learn from them. That is how we become better people and a more robust society. Thank you for doing your bit. I'm sure your daughters are proud. x
I actually want to thank you for your post. No need to let them eviscirate you. You spoke like a man and a kind, educated, logical person. Anyone who could troll you clearly is uneducated and ignorant.
BS. This is an honest post. I too have daughters and have plenty of bad habits. I am in the same boat. I don’t need them shaking their heads or misunderstanding where I come from. So I do well to come correct. And it has nothing to do with emasculation or me too. A daughter, a woman, a wife are precious things. For as modern our society is we carry a lot of the Neanderthal ways of our past. Some men think their in an episode of Mad Men and live their lives as such. You have to have thick skin to work on the hill but that doesn’t mean you have to roll with the status quo.
@Common Sense American Her ideas are reality in the country I grew up in. Just because something is new and scary to you doesn't make it Marxist. Just about every developed country in the world has public healthcare, affordable tertiary education, and are making significant moves towards combating climate change. If you can see all these other countries doing it but think America can't, you must have a pretty poor opinion of America.
what makes this phenomenal is that it wasn't scripted whatsoever. she's looking the court in the eyes the whole time, speaking from her heart, AOC is truly a powerful woman.
What is sad about the quote “My family did not raise me to take abuse from men” is that many families do raise young girls into women that view their self worth so low that they feel the need to take the abuse to survive, for one reason or another. We fight for all women, even the ones that think they’re not worth it. You are worth it! If you’re reading this thinking you may have grown in abusive home life, please consider getting therapy in your local area- it works wonders! And if you’re reading this thinking you may be in an abusive relationship now, please look up the criteria of an abusive relationship and seek help! People care about you even if it doesn’t seem like it. I know because I care about you.
It’s even little things like “he’s mean to you because he likes you” or “girls are just emotional so you take it too seriously, toughen up” or “that’s just how boys are” and when I tell random guys off my parents say that’s not “ladylike” and to “let it go” and I just see that as my parents condoning verbal and even physical abuse from boys from a very young age and I refuse to sit back and stay quiet and just because I’m outspoken and I don’t take peoples shit, that makes me no less of a woman or any less feminine so never let anyone run over you. KNOW. YOUR. WORTH.
The faster we can have good change in this country, the better! She will have just turned 35 right before Election Day, so it works out perfectly! AOC 2024!
Watching this was the best 10 minutes I've spent in a long time. Yoho's excuse-laden 'apology' sounded about as lame as, "some of my best friends are women". He should be ashamed of himself. I hope his wife and daughters can explain to him how utterly impotent his 'acknology' sounded on the House floor. AOC is absolutely right - neither the words he uttered nor his ridiculous excuses should be accepted by the members of the House or the rest of the world.
Johnathan Grey Who said I believe all men must die lmao??? I’m not sure if that’s something AOC said but even still, I doubt it was serious and “KAM” is a joke
Venom Thorn Also, America was not founded by Jesus lmao. Jesus was way past gone by the time America was stolen from native people. Also also, to be fair, Jesus wouldn’t appreciate you spreading hate on the internet, love thy neighbor kinda thing.
"He gave permission to use that language against his wife, his daughters, women in his community. And I am here to stand up and say that is not acceptable." What a pitch perfect response. She's awesome.
And what makes this even more genius is that by speaking up against this loser, she gives permission to women to speak up. She is truly giving me hope for the US. Make her your president, and the world will take you seriously again (the current situation is also quite serious - but not in a good way).
I also noticed that. I find that simply appealing to 'put yourself into someone else's shoes' doesn't really work until it becomes really personal, and then it becomes too nasty/cruel. AOC's way of handling it is perfect (and I am not even a fan of hers/her politics). "By doing this to someone else's daughter, you are giving others a permission to do it you your daughter, and I can't stand by this" is such an effective statement than an open-ended "How would you feel if someone else does it to your daughter?", but without being as cruel as "I hope someone does it to your daughter; only then you'd feel it". I am going to start using this style in my arguments
Kñight Hãwκ no she wasn’t. Listen to her speech again carefully and try to understand the actual point she was making. You actually got it completely 180 degrees the wrong way round.
This really hit me with emotion. “I was not raised to accept abuse from men.” Hell no we don’t. Thank you for being an inspiration to countless girls and women including me.
I wonder since abuse from women was omitted maybe she was raise to accept abuse from women. Maybe she was raise to accept abuse from everyone except men. That seems more likely.
The way I see it you have to wonder about a man like Yoho.. Does he demean his wife and daughters like that. He says he doesn't but we don't know what happens behind close doors, now do we..
I am not even an American but I want her to run for president. She's love, and seeing the comment section is so wholesome. I occasionally come here to rewatch this video to feel inspired ❤️
@Linda Erwin22 And I'll use my 1st amendment rights, YOU are exactly what you've called the Congresswomsn and worse. YOU are a mindless, gutless sheep hiding like a coward behind a keyboard and anonymity... attacking a woman [same species], an elected official, for representing the people of her state. You, a coward, represent mean-spirited creatures that a loving God created, actively and publicly abusing the purpose and privilege of life/living amongst others. Your purpose is yo show the rest of the world why that living and loving God tossed Lucifer and his minions from heaven...disrespecting God and all those made in Her/His image thinking themselves better and smarter than the Creator that made us all. May God have mercy on you because I, a perfectly imperfect woman...surely wouldn't have it within my heart to do so. Slag
She's been my favourite since before she was elected - she is incredibly intelligent, working-class, and gives fewer-than-zero fucks about the opinions of misogynistic bell-ends like Ted Yoho, whose surname, strangely enough, sounds exactly like the very phrase it would use you describe women when it isn't working.
@King Andres How is this lefty victimization bs? When is it okay for your elected representatives to call each other fucking bitches and motherfuckers? Do you realize these people have the power to change the fates of a nation of 330 million souls? There really is no victimization in that statement, and it is simply a fact that Mr. Yoyo is a public figure and people in his district look up to him, so by using foul language to address others he is giving people permission to treat him and his family the same. It is simply a matter of treat others the way you'd like to be treated.
Sheily Beily Yes, it was. For someone who claims that it doesn’t bother her, she sure seems to be spending a lot of time on the subject. It’s no wonder nothing is getting done in Congress.
@@jimziemer474 she's addressing the subject because it matters to her? she's explaining thoroughly her point, and the only arguments against her I can see in the description are "she's dumb haha" or laughing emojis from incels, further amplifying her points. is a woman standing up for what she believes in really contradicting herself? I'm sorry that women in power threaten you, and that you get better soon though xoxo
I have watched this several times and feel the same all the time. I have been in abusive relationships and thankfully got out before I or my children were seriously hurt. AOC's message resonated with many women young and older. She made her voice heard and got her point across as an intelligent, well-spoken lady, worthy of the office she represents. The same can't be said for her male counterparts who have to resort to unacceptable language because they are insecure and feel threatened by strong women. I wonder how Mr. Yoho would feel if another male said those things to his mother, his wife or his daughters? I am sure it happens in his home, that sort of verbal abuse, because he can verbally attack another woman. Makes you wonder how many times he has done it. He should feel shame and not only apologize to AOC, but to all women and his constituents. male and female. Let the world know this is unacceptable.
ernst wurst those people are not bad BECAUSE of their *race, gender, or color.* they are bad because of *the things they do.* like martin luther king jr said, we should judge people by the content of their character, not the color of their skin. here in america, racists assume the worst from anyone that is different-looking from them before getting to know who they are. on the other side of the spectrum, people hate nazis and islamic radicals *because they do bad things,* not because they were born with different skin or as a different gender.
It’s funny that she’s speaking as slow and as articulate as possible for people to really comprehend what she’s saying , and some people STILL don’t understand . It’s mind blowing 😂
Well they Right did downgrade many of their schools education to keep their constituents dumb. After watching the last three and half years I definitely believe that was the case.
As a woman myself, I've used this type of speech before when I was very upset or frustrated but doing my darndest to keep my composure because women are called "emotional" or "bitchy" if we show any human emotion when talking about these kind of things. I'm not sure that's what it is with her, but that's the first thing I thought when I heard her. She sounds angry but composed to me. Probably has a bit of adrenaline. I can totally relate.
“Having a daughter does not make a man decent. Having a wife does not make a decent man. Treating people with dignity and respect makes a decent man” -AOC
Treating people with dignity and respect makes a decent man” -AOC WHAT makes a decent woman? Does calling a person a racist without proof make a woman decent? Does calling a person a White Nationalist (in the negative term) without proof a decent woman?Does lying about detained migrants drinking out of toilets a decent woman? What makes a knowledgeable Representative regarding the three Branches of Government? AOC "The Presidency, the House and the Senate". How about the Executive, Judicial and Legislative? We would expect the average citizen to not know this but a Member of the House of Representatives that drafts the Laws of our Nation? Please, don't run again, YOU are a hypocrite and an embarrassment!
This is one of the most important speeches ever given in the House of Representatives. Years from now it will be recognised as a classic in American speeches by politicians.
@Scott Smith Men who have disliked this video have spoken! Perhaps this speech was too difficult for you and your kind to understand. Go back to listening Trump speak. He speaks for your level
@Scott Smith And your country is doing great now? It is the laughing stock of the whole world and an international pariah. No country wants Americans in especially Europe. 4 million Americans infected with the virus, more than 140,000 Americans dead! That's more than Americans killed in WWI, Vietnam War, 9/11, Iraq and Afghanistan wars put together. Trump is invading US by sending dubious Federal troops into cities that don't want them. In case you haven't noticed, you don't need AOC to destroy your country. Trump is doing a fantastic job destroying it. It won't be long before it's your children or grandchildren are the refugees trying to get out of the US.
The line about having daughters and being a daughter hit me hard. Imagine if yoho had to see his daughters being so strongly insulted in the workplace. He would be so insulted that a man his age took shots at his precious daughters for doing their job. But no. He was the one that insulted a woman for having opinions? authority? not being a coward? No matter what your side is in the politics you cannot deny that AOC made many points in this response. She was firm and eloquent. And, despite knowing she may not get an apology or response from yoho, she proceeded on with this just to make sure people remember to respect everyone no matter their gender or political standing.
@gjaddajg trump has insulted more women than anyone can count so if he gets it back, he had it coming. AOC managed to slap down Yoho so hard without delivering a single insult.
gjaddajg He is insulted because of his sexism towards women, idiot. And if he’s insulted because he is such a stupid narcissist president I think it goes both ways( from women and men).
@Bill Board Can you refresh my memory and name one senator or representative who has insulted him in the Capitol, or talking on record to a journalist? (Something that he does on a weekly basis, btw.)
@Freddy Franco This is a video of a young congresswoman with a powerful speech against misogyny and you bring up the irrelevant Clintons. You are a troll. Go back to your mom's basement
Very true. Although I fundamentally disagree with AOC on every issue she stands for the one thing that irritates me the most in today’s political climate is that lack of respect for a different opinion. There is no need for any type of hostility or disrespect, especially when they are both professionals. I’m a software engineer and I’ll have meetings where I’ll be disagreeing with my team on certain issues (i work in a very diverse environment) and never would I stoop so low to try and throw someone’s opinion away just because of their gender affiliation, race, religion, etc.. I lean towards the right because of certain values I have but that doesn’t mean I will act rudely to those who don’t believe in the same ideology as me. I am glad she stood up for herself and I am disguised by that gentleman and how he can try and represent my ideas with his type of composure because that is not at all how I want my beliefs to be associated with.
The perfect example of class . An intelligent , exceptional , beautiful woman . I wish all women could understand that this woman is what attractive is like .
Having a wife does not make a decent man”! Treating people with dignity and respect makes a decent man....PREACH! 🙌🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 I believe that goes for men or women.
Where is your outcry that a female reporter call the press secretary a lying bitch. Your response??? Sounds like women violence against women. Kayleigh is a daughter too as far as I understand
"I have to show my parents that I am their daughter and they did not raise me to accept abuse from men" - This is such a powerful statement coming from a strong and influential lady. I cried.
It’s funny that she’s speaking as slow and as articulate as possible for people to really comprehend what she’s saying , and some people STILL don’t understand . It’s mind blowing
@@jacobwalsh2286 Meaning he had to prepare for that half ass excuse of bullshit. Passion for God does not sound like that. If you're a god fearing man, you don't belittle another life. He literally placed the lord's name in vain and as a political gesture/ gimmick. How does one have time to prepare/ write a speech like that and still come up short? She didn't even have a teleprompter and it was a 10 minute uninterrupted speech from the heart, mind, and soul.
I understand where shes coming from, although i don't agree with the points she made. He was wrong, and very disrespectful. But she started going on and on about other women and his kids etc. I don't like how she's alluding to this being like crime against women. I feel he should be punished solely because of the high position he has, someone in such a seat should know how to act. However because the president acts in such a way i don't see how you can punish him. People will insult you and berate you man or woman gay or straight etc. Its different for us the citizenry unless you hold a sensitive position, make a threat, or use strong hate speech infering violence.
@@babyboijeremy But she's totally right. Culture is just an aggregation of behavior. This could of course have just been a case where it's "One person verbally attacked another", but we humans are great at seeing patterns with attributes attached to it. Here, the "attacker" has the attributes "white" and "man" for instance, and the recipient "woman" and "POC". Now, if this was a rare occurence, we could just brush it of as a one-off incident, but it's not rare. It happens all the time, and as such it's feeding the culture of "white man" attacking "woman" and "POC". And that's what AOC is addressing. Note: I'm using the word "attack" loosely here. It could be "dehumanize", or "abuse" or whatever negative action.
@@Soma81 and you can't spell "president" or realize that "garbage disposal" is not a proper noun and therefore shouldn't be capitalized, so I guess everyone has things to work on
@@boofert.washington2499 I guess, the problem is, that English isn't the first language I learned. Although, after reading it twice, I'm still unable to see, what mistake I made... Grammar?

Anyway. Meine Muttersprache ist ursprünglich Deutsch. J'ai commencé d'apprendre la francais langué á l'âge de douze ans. I'm even trying to learn Japanese since 2019. But mistakes will always happen. But at least I try to prevent them from happening to often. では、さようなら、おやすみなさい。
It's too bad she can't without a script. She is not a real politician she is an actress playing a congress person, just occupying a seat and doing what her idiot advisors tell her to do. "Truth"
hey brainwashed bitch,women call each other bitches all the time but you're trying to tell me when a guy does it its wrong? i call my male friends bitches too,isnt it sexist there huh?
No this is a masterclass in the evil, culturally cancerous neo-liberal (Marxist) political strategy of dividing and fundamentally subverting society into "oppressor" and "victim" classes to gain slave-like voting blocs of individuals enchained to these identity slave fields leading to a death-grip on the American political system and a stranglehold against the People. Pay attention, these are the "permanent" oppressor-victim frames that are relentlessly packaged and sold agaisnt society: men vs women, straight vs LGBT+, "white people" vs everyone else ("people of color"--a subversive term), Christians vs everyone else (yet look at their embrace of Islam and Muslims, because it's not actually about secularism). This is pure social engineering and pure evil.
@@mindsetpower5712 they r doing the same in european countries,it's not a neo liberal political strategy. it's clearly marxism. yes liberals adopted this agenda but it doesn't change where it comes from. jordan peterson explains it perfectly.

Vern really you just can’t stand a women that has more power than a white man . You are probably a White Man that is a Republican. AOC has done more than any district in the last term. Why should a man call her that no reason so shut the fuck up and Listen you White Republican.
@ how does he know you're white? Sounds about racist, do you have to be colored to be a democrat? You know democrats show their true colors when theyre mad. That's why they are the most dangerous of the two. The very least with conservatives that happen to be racist, you can see them from a mile away. They're upfront about it.
“And when a decent man messes up, as we all are bound to do, he tries his best and *does* apologize...not to save face. He apologizes genuinely, to repair and acknowledge the harm done, so that we can all move on.” Thank you Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez... 🙏❤️🔥
This is why I cringe when people compare her to Greene or Boebert. I disagree with AOC a lot on policy, but I have tremendous respect for her because she treats others with respect and has class. She’s genuine and believes in what she says, even if I disagree with her conclusions. As a Buffalo Native, I’m proud she’s a fellow New Yorker.
Exactly. AOC may be radical but she’s passionate about helping others and helping her constituents. Greene and Boebert are in it for themselves. AOC never disrespects people. She attacks arguments. They attack people bc they have no arguments.
“What I do have issue with is using women, our wives and daughters, as shields and excuses for poor behavior” This is so prevalent, not only when talking about a man’s abuse towards women but its also used against people of color. Just because you have a relationship with someone with one similarity to the person you are attacking doesn’t mean you are justified or decent. It makes no sense.
phoenixkhost : Your atrocious spelling reveals utter contempt of the English language. It invalidates everything you tried to communicate. You unwittingly won the Dumb Comment Award. Congratulations, you pathetic, stupid AND racist twit!
I have to completly agree with you. People call on someone to defend themselves, but do not bother to then defend them. Saying he has a wife and children, he treats with respect does not excuse his behaviour towards those he does not know and similarly just because someone is friends with a PoC does not make them any less racist towards others.
Boundless respect, admiration, and gratitude, Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez! I am proud, as a woman, of your poise, your accomplishments, your clarity of purpose, your response to bullying with such forceful humanity and disciplined dignity. Carry on, Congresswoman. You are supported.
The women of America are in a better space today because of this brilliant, strong, elegant, brave woman using her voice to stand up for dignity, humanity and respect. Her definition of a decent man should be on every man's heart and mind.
This is my congresswoman. She makes me more proud of my vote for her in the 2018 primary every day. This is a person with integrity, intelligence, and tenacity. Mad love, AOC.

I reject that the only explanation for him being a dick to AOC was that she was a woman. I imagine if AOC were a man he would have used a different adjective but kept the same message.
"I was not raised to accept abuse from men"
Johnathan Grey and she stated that she will ignore it as it inevitably continues. the reason she’s speaking on the floor is because yoho did so first, defending his inexcusable actions. it does happen and it will continue to happen unless people like aoc speak out against it.
I was not raised to accept abuse from women. I raise my children the same way. I also raise my children not to take someone else's opinion to heart. There's trash in both party's and to me AOC is trash.
she is great at playing a victim. Hasn't she ever heard sticks and stones? I thought she was tough?
Johnathan Grey no matter what field you’re in, there comes a time where enough is enough and you need to call out the bs in your environment, so she did
This is politics. They will always be at eachothers throats slinging vulgarity at one another until one finally can't take the heat and runs crying for help and starts pointing fingers at all the meanies. This time it was AOC that couldn't take the heat.......again🤔......ok so AOC can't take any heat ever.
Every once in a while, I watch this speech again. It’s so badass. It’s all so true. This speech isn’t partisan in any way. Really, it should be required viewing for every boy and girl who is old enough to understand the offensiveness of Yoho’s language.
I am 17 I asked a man who was maybe 40-45, to please put a mask on when he entered the restaurant I work at. He called me an AOC want to be. At the time I did not know what that meant. He told me to look it up. I’m proud to be called that. Even though he meant it as an insult I’m proud.

@@joe78man well obviously she’s not going to accept abuse from anyone, but she said men cause i’m assuming if anyones insulting her it’s mostly men
SHE DID NOT EVEN MAKE A SPEECH OUT OF EMOTIONS, BUT RATHER OUT OF RATIONAL EXPLANATION AND TRUTH.
SHE IS SO CALM when i could have burst out to tears
No, you can hear the emotion in her voice. But you can also hear her reel it in and stay on point. A woman who can control her emotions is impressive. These women in power are amazing!
@Patrick McMahon Then I should make it fair by saying men need to have control of their emotions too. I’m just implying that women are better at sensing emotion better than men, they’re more emotionally in tune. That gets hard to turn off for many people when they need to remove their own ego from the equation. That’s where judges excel. And ACB exemplifies it beautifully. You could hear a couple times where she sounded distressed. But instead of breaking down or firing back angrily, or even breaking expression, she maintained everything wonderfully and answered everything with a fair and level response!
Most men I know can’t keep their cool and their women are just as crazy. Women like ACB are exceptional. (I know I couldn’t remain that calm. I’d be looking like Sylvester from Looney Tunes, pale and shaking!)
@@willgraves5848 Can someone answer why she is so much better than Biden or Trump. I mean she said Latinos are Blacks, lost 20k jobs for NYC, and said that looting is good.

Personally I would dislike Trump just as much if he was, black, latino, asian, or European. Same goes for Biden and her. If you ask me Biden>Trump; but I still don't like him. I feel calling her empowering isn't enough to justify what I explained. I'm just interested in other people's opinions.
@@brito50 He called her those things in public and unprovoked; then gave a less than half-assed “reason”, NOT an apology on the House floor (also, in public). He started the shit and she was going to let it go, until his BS on the House floor. Go watch his non-apology. It’s shameful. He had no cause whatsoever to call her names like that. She is a Congresswoman, no less important than he being a Congressman, yet he starts up with a finger in her face and raising his voice, calling her names. Do you know why he was upset? Because she said crime had risen in New York City during the pandemic because of poverty and unemployment.

Benjamin Quellier fair point but also I think OP is referring to the progressive movement of America. AOC is really starting to come of age politically as she amasses more experience. After this speech, murmurs of future presidential runs are being heard all around the country. Americans have been exceptionally blind as to how backwards our country is compared to the rest of the developed world. That illusion has finally shattered, and the scales have tilted. There’s simply too much at stake starting with climate change to go back now. Revolution, hopefully a peaceful one, is on its way.
What was painful was her awful speech
So powerful and sensitive. I felt her pain and her genuineness to respect others without hatred. This culture has to stop. Thank you. Rep. Alexandria

I’m a 75 year old British women who does not fully understand the ins and outs of American politics. Is it possible that she could go on to become President? She would be such an asset to the U.S. Intelligent, articulate, charismatic, she’s wonderful.
I certainly hope she can be our first female president ma'am. As long as she gets the vote!
YES, it is certainly possible. Anyone can run for president and it is easier to do that than say, buy a gun in most states or getting a marriage license. The real issue facing her is that she is a Progressive who is also (and not by her own doing) a "populist" (or i guess rather say she is extremely "popular" just for being charismatic...) and that scares the crap out of both parties who are both run by very big money concerns terrified of her "Green New Deal" which would seem tame to anyone say from Denmark or Sweden or Germany but considering Petro money is given in large sums to both Republican and Democratic centrist candidates to maintain the status quo of the power elite here and across the world, AOC fuels massive pushback that translates into unseen undercurrents that work against her from the top down. My understanding of the "below the water line" actions against her online alone would confuse and terrify any normal person, she is on the main agenda of every anti-American, anti-progressive, pro-oil, pro gun, pro hatred and divisiveness party, person or politician out there. They will try and do to her what they did to Bernie Sanders but his popularity is nowhere near what AOC's is and she will win if she can withstand the barrage of hatred that she elicits from those who need us to stay dumb and powerless. The American progressive party hasn't seen someone this popular in my lifetime, and considering the Hispanic voter base is now massive in the United States, AOC could win the presidency--my hope is she runs in 2028 considering Biden will likely run and win again in 2024 in his last term and then it's up to the DNC (Democratic National Convention who basically funnel campaign dollars to Democrat candidates) who will do all they can to push back on her but will eventually cave because they will eventually be outed as anti-progressive and they would die in such light.

i don't want to get political but what do you expect from trumps party, he expresses the same way, such as grabbing woman by the puss* and wanting to date her daughter and having sex, it is not faked news because trump said it himself.
And the GOP males and Trump are now attacking Liz Chaney. I just cannot understand why women in that party gets disrespected by their own.
Equality? Then take it like a man and move on. Did not see her walk away. Just another excuse to spread hate. Liar. She never heard those words...was all hearsay.

Im perplexed when people tell native americans and central americans to get out of america...
They have No concept of history and it’s sad. Alternatively, the stupidity/ ignorance of racism knows no bounds.
I would never say something like that, such talk is unrealistic and cruel, but this nation was founded and settled by anglos and germans. Just because people were living on the land that the nation was built on, that doesn't necessarily make them part of the nation.
An especially poignant example, when the Aztecs conquered their empire (they originally migrated from elsewhere) the defeated tribes that continued to live in what is now Mexico were not part of the Aztec nation, they were subjects.
I doubt the average person that would say something so antisocial thinks that deeply about it, but that is the spirit from which this sentiment comes from.
The fact of the matter is, that modern Western nations are unique in allowing, on a regular basis, non-founding stock to become full members of their nation. This, however, will always be rejected by some, especially those founding stock who feel they have something to lose. By the same token, newer groups will always carry resentment for the founding stock as, inevitably, institutions and societal conventions will be easier to navigate for the people that designed them, for reasons having to do with both differences in culture and the prevalence of different heritable traits between the two groups. Efforts to change these conventions or provide restitution (from taxes) to groups that have difficulty will simply spawn more resentment in the founding stock.
I would venture to suggest that pluralistic societies will always have such conflicts as long as scarcity is part of the human condition.
This is not even going into the kinds of conflicts that can develop between multiple different groups of non-founding people.

It’s difficult to break a lifetime of ignorant habits but it can be done. At least I’m trying! AOC is the future and with smart women and men like her, we can all look forward to the future.
I’m tempted not to post this because you know the trolls are going to eviscerate me… Oh well
This was such a sweet and lovely message. :) I'm around the same age as your daughters.
No one is perfect. The most important thing is that people acknowledge their faults and failures and learn from them. That is how we become better people and a more robust society. Thank you for doing your bit. I'm sure your daughters are proud. x
I actually want to thank you for your post. No need to let them eviscirate you. You spoke like a man and a kind, educated, logical person. Anyone who could troll you clearly is uneducated and ignorant.
BS. This is an honest post. I too have daughters and have plenty of bad habits. I am in the same boat. I don’t need them shaking their heads or misunderstanding where I come from. So I do well to come correct. And it has nothing to do with emasculation or me too. A daughter, a woman, a wife are precious things. For as modern our society is we carry a lot of the Neanderthal ways of our past. Some men think their in an episode of Mad Men and live their lives as such. You have to have thick skin to work on the hill but that doesn’t mean you have to roll with the status quo.
@Common Sense American Her ideas are reality in the country I grew up in. Just because something is new and scary to you doesn't make it Marxist.

Thank you for this! This took courage and thank god your daughters have this example!
what makes this phenomenal is that it wasn't scripted whatsoever. she's looking the court in the eyes the whole time, speaking from her heart, AOC is truly a powerful woman.
What is sad about the quote “My family did not raise me to take abuse from men” is that many families do raise young girls into women that view their self worth so low that they feel the need to take the abuse to survive, for one reason or another. We fight for all women, even the ones that think they’re not worth it.
You are worth it! If you’re reading this thinking you may have grown in abusive home life, please consider getting therapy in your local area- it works wonders! And if you’re reading this thinking you may be in an abusive relationship now, please look up the criteria of an abusive relationship and seek help! People care about you even if it doesn’t seem like it. I know because I care about you.
It’s even little things like “he’s mean to you because he likes you” or “girls are just emotional so you take it too seriously, toughen up” or “that’s just how boys are” and when I tell random guys off my parents say that’s not “ladylike” and to “let it go” and I just see that as my parents condoning verbal and even physical abuse from boys from a very young age and I refuse to sit back and stay quiet and just because I’m outspoken and I don’t take peoples shit, that makes me no less of a woman or any less feminine so never let anyone run over you. KNOW. YOUR. WORTH.

Watching this was the best 10 minutes I've spent in a long time. Yoho's excuse-laden 'apology' sounded about as lame as, "some of my best friends are women". He should be ashamed of himself. I hope his wife and daughters can explain to him how utterly impotent his 'acknology' sounded on the House floor. AOC is absolutely right - neither the words he uttered nor his ridiculous excuses should be accepted by the members of the House or the rest of the world.
I have so much respect for how AOC handled this incident and the light she shed on the practice. A teachable moment, if we are all willing to listen.

"He gave permission to use that language against his wife, his daughters, women in his community. And I am here to stand up and say that is not acceptable."
What a pitch perfect response. She's awesome.
And what makes this even more genius is that by speaking up against this loser, she gives permission to women to speak up. She is truly giving me hope for the US. Make her your president, and the world will take you seriously again (the current situation is also quite serious - but not in a good way).
I also noticed that. I find that simply appealing to 'put yourself into someone else's shoes' doesn't really work until it becomes really personal, and then it becomes too nasty/cruel. AOC's way of handling it is perfect (and I am not even a fan of hers/her politics). "By doing this to someone else's daughter, you are giving others a permission to do it you your daughter, and I can't stand by this" is such an effective statement than an open-ended "How would you feel if someone else does it to your daughter?", but without being as cruel as "I hope someone does it to your daughter; only then you'd feel it". I am going to start using this style in my arguments

I have watched this several times and feel the same all the time. I have been in abusive relationships and thankfully got out before I or my children were seriously hurt. AOC's message resonated with many women young and older. She made her voice heard and got her point across as an intelligent, well-spoken lady, worthy of the office she represents. The same can't be said for her male counterparts who have to resort to unacceptable language because they are insecure and feel threatened by strong women.
I wonder how Mr. Yoho would feel if another male said those things to his mother, his wife or his daughters? I am sure it happens in his home, that sort of verbal abuse, because he can verbally attack another woman. Makes you wonder how many times he has done it. He should feel shame and not only apologize to AOC, but to all women and his constituents. male and female. Let the world know this is unacceptable.

There is no need for any type of hostility or disrespect, especially when they are both professionals. I’m a software engineer and I’ll have meetings where I’ll be disagreeing with my team on certain issues (i work in a very diverse environment) and never would I stoop so low to try and throw someone’s opinion away just because of their gender affiliation, race, religion, etc.. I lean towards the right because of certain values I have but that doesn’t mean I will act rudely to those who don’t believe in the same ideology as me.

@@aaronmcdowell6966 was it mic'd in?
I listen to the video and heard those words...maybe doctored??
"Treating people with dignity and respect, makes a decent man."
"I have to show my parents that I am their daughter and they did not raise me to accept abuse from men" - This is such a powerful statement coming from a strong and influential lady. I cried.
This will be quoted in school textbooks for generations to come.
That’s not powerful lmao, it jsut shows that she’s a sensetive fuck that gets butthurt over an insult
It is so splendid and powerful speech!😘
Wow. Just wow. She nailed it.
It’s funny that she’s speaking as slow and as articulate as possible for people to really comprehend what she’s saying , and some people STILL don’t understand . It’s mind blowing
Not only is she articulate, she's not reading her speech from a paper. Yoho's "apology" was pre-written.
@@jacobwalsh2286 Meaning he had to prepare for that half ass excuse of bullshit. Passion for God does not sound like that. If you're a god fearing man, you don't belittle another life. He literally placed the lord's name in vain and as a political gesture/ gimmick. How does one have time to prepare/ write a speech like that and still come up short? She didn't even have a teleprompter and it was a 10 minute uninterrupted speech from the heart, mind, and soul.
I understand where shes coming from, although i don't agree with the points she made. He was wrong, and very disrespectful. But she started going on and on about other women and his kids etc. I don't like how she's alluding to this being like crime against women. I feel he should be punished solely because of the high position he has, someone in such a seat should know how to act. However because the president acts in such a way i don't see how you can punish him. People will insult you and berate you man or woman gay or straight etc. Its different for us the citizenry unless you hold a sensitive position, make a threat, or use strong hate speech infering violence.
@@babyboijeremy so you clearly don't understand where she's coming from.
@@babyboijeremy But she's totally right. Culture is just an aggregation of behavior. This could of course have just been a case where it's "One person verbally attacked another", but we humans are great at seeing patterns with attributes attached to it. Here, the "attacker" has the attributes "white" and "man" for instance, and the recipient "woman" and "POC". Now, if this was a rare occurence, we could just brush it of as a one-off incident, but it's not rare. It happens all the time, and as such it's feeding the culture of "white man" attacking "woman" and "POC". And that's what AOC is addressing.
Note: I'm using the word "attack" loosely here. It could be "dehumanize", or "abuse" or whatever negative action.
This is my president, whether she campaigns or not, this is my president, idk bout y'all but-
I agree with you in so many levels

Thank god for representative Alexandria O Cortez. We need her to stand up and speak truth to the bigoted presumption.

To be honest, a couple speeches of Barack Obama helped me a lot to understand it. (He has a strong accent, but it often has a subtitles ^^). Maybe that's why I miss this kind of political discussion. Anyway.

It's too bad she can't without a script. She is not a real politician she is an actress playing a congress person, just occupying a seat and doing what her idiot advisors tell her to do. "Truth"
Compare this to Ted Cruz’s response to Trump calling his wife ugly.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
This is a Masterclass in standing up to workplace sexism.
How’s it sexism?
hey brainwashed bitch,women call each other bitches all the time but you're trying to tell me when a guy does it its wrong? i call my male friends bitches too,isnt it sexist there huh?
No this is a masterclass in the evil, culturally cancerous neo-liberal (Marxist) political strategy of dividing and fundamentally subverting society into "oppressor" and "victim" classes to gain slave-like voting blocs of individuals enchained to these identity slave fields leading to a death-grip on the American political system and a stranglehold against the People. Pay attention, these are the "permanent" oppressor-victim frames that are relentlessly packaged and sold agaisnt society: men vs women, straight vs LGBT+, "white people" vs everyone else ("people of color"--a subversive term), Christians vs everyone else (yet look at their embrace of Islam and Muslims, because it's not actually about secularism). This is pure social engineering and pure evil.
@@mindsetpower5712 they r doing the same in european countries,it's not a neo liberal political strategy. it's clearly marxism. yes liberals adopted this agenda but it doesn't change where it comes from. jordan peterson explains it perfectly.
@@mindsetpower5712 orrrrr it's a strong woman standing up for herself in our nations capital when verbally assaulted and smeared on live TV by men who should be far better than that but apparently have no class? how is it easier to believe your bs conspiracy theory than accept it for what it is?
I feel like I’m gaining brain cells when I watch her and listen to her speak lol. I hope she runs for and becomes president one day.
Wouldn't that be a great day
Really I’m a New Yorker and AOC is crazy
Yoho picked a fight with the wrong person. Stay strong AOC AND as always tell like it is.
@ Pot calling the kettle black!
Takes a dumbass to know a dumbass
Vern really you just can’t stand a women that has more power than a white man . You are probably a White Man that is a Republican. AOC has done more than any district in the last term. Why should a man call her that no reason so shut the fuck up and Listen you White Republican.
@@georgez5906 like take away jobs in her district? Haha
@ how does he know you're white? Sounds about racist, do you have to be colored to be a democrat? You know democrats show their true colors when theyre mad. That's why they are the most dangerous of the two. The very least with conservatives that happen to be racist, you can see them from a mile away. They're upfront about it.
Lying is not telling it like it is.
She's incredible. I am so excited to watch her grow and expand her impact.
“And when a decent man messes up, as we all are bound to do, he tries his best and *does* apologize...not to save face.
He apologizes genuinely, to repair and acknowledge the harm done, so that we can all move on.”
Thank you Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez...
🙏❤️🔥
"Treating people with dignity and respect makes a decent man", Yes !!!
BigBirtha666 what??? Did u even watch the video
Couldn't been said any better ✊
BigBirtha666 wtf are u even talking about birtha??
Treating someone equally is trully what makes a better person. I have heard this on my CNN channel in Vancouver
"they did not raise me to accept abuse from men"
I love her!
And that's on PERIOD 💅💅👏.
@Zk So you are saying she isn't some spoiled brat like a lot of other politicans but she worked her way literally from the bottom up?
This is why I cringe when people compare her to Greene or Boebert. I disagree with AOC a lot on policy, but I have tremendous respect for her because she treats others with respect and has class. She’s genuine and believes in what she says, even if I disagree with her conclusions.
As a Buffalo Native, I’m proud she’s a fellow New Yorker.
Exactly. AOC may be radical but she’s passionate about helping others and helping her constituents. Greene and Boebert are in it for themselves. AOC never disrespects people. She attacks arguments. They attack people bc they have no arguments.
“What I do have issue with is using women, our wives and daughters, as shields and excuses for poor behavior”
This is so prevalent, not only when talking about a man’s abuse towards women but its also used against people of color. Just because you have a relationship with someone with one similarity to the person you are attacking doesn’t mean you are justified or decent. It makes no sense.
This so much!!
phoenixkhost : Your atrocious spelling reveals utter contempt of the English language. It invalidates everything you tried to communicate. You unwittingly won the Dumb Comment Award. Congratulations, you pathetic, stupid AND racist twit!
I have to completly agree with you. People call on someone to defend themselves, but do not bother to then defend them. Saying he has a wife and children, he treats with respect does not excuse his behaviour towards those he does not know and similarly just because someone is friends with a PoC does not make them any less racist towards others.
@Araworn oh wow, some fragile masculinity right here👏👏
What's a person of color?
Boundless respect, admiration, and gratitude, Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez! I am proud, as a woman, of your poise, your accomplishments, your clarity of purpose, your response to bullying with such forceful humanity and disciplined dignity. Carry on, Congresswoman. You are supported.
The women of America are in a better space today because of this brilliant, strong, elegant, brave woman using her voice to stand up for dignity, humanity and respect. Her definition of a decent man should be on every man's heart and mind.
