New Zealand’s Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern Talks About Being A New Mom And World Leader | TODAY
Beautiful quote “you can be strong and you can be kind.” Everyone and every government should operate like that.
Based on a quote? Your dreaming
She's selfish & unkind - poor beautiful kind innocent animals - dying horrific deaths .... my opinion of her has certainly changed ....
USA will disagree
Thats y countries have summits.....cuz they all love eacch other
@dsndicmsa chumpette
Never seen a nation greater than New Zealand in today's world.
They've shown to the world: size, economy or armies don't make a country, people choosing to act does.
Warm Regards and prayers for all New Zealand people specially the PM of the country!
Salaam from Lahore, Pakistan.
namaste from india
Hello from nz
@@dragazoidyt4464 hi
Dellusional. Immigration policies of NZ sucks
@@tumbad5858 Are u from NZ?
I'm English and I've been to NZ a couple of times and the people are lovely and you get the feeling it's a nice country that takes care of its people.
its a very anti white country here
its almost a crime to be white
That's very true . I was there forty years ago and found the Kiwis very kind and strong .
Then you got the wrong feeling.. We New Zealand all for ourselves.
@@browngirlwhiteboy4043 speak for yourself!
@@rascalhusky8129 YES, 40 years ago NZ *WAS* generally a wonderful and pretty egalitarian place. People had jobs, homes and hope. Sadly it's now a place of haves and have nots and people tearing each other apart due to the march of SJW ideology through the institutions and conversely the privatisation and outsourcing of much, and also the great property Ponzi scheme.
As an Australian, watching Jacinda from afar has been so amazing! She’s so strong and intelligent. Congrats to her and her family 💐
She is a communist...
@@de-zw3nz Get a life. Seriously.
@@vivienarmstrong7268 go do some research,goes to communist youth camps.Oh that's right, women can't be dictators,100 million graves from the 20th century.
Yep - meanwhile in Australia the Liberal Government is shedding women at a rate of knots - apparently it's "merit based" in Australia - which is to suggest that Australian women politicians don't have enough merit. Big mistake Australia. Australian women politicians are treated appallingly.
de777 absolutely brother... finally someone as done there research 👍
What is this "maternity leave"? - Everyone in the USA!
Does the US not have that?
OOfania no, they don’t. In Aus we have 6 months paid, and a further six unpaid (though I believe you can choose to split your payments and have them come over the entire year). Pretty sure that it’s also just the primary caregiver, of whichever gender to get the parental leave- it isn’t just mothers.
@@katherinemorelle7115 that really sucks for the US, I live in Aussie too 🎉🎉🎉 #SYD
26 weeks paid parental leave.....very cheap health care.... love living here 😁😁😁
Same in the UK
She is so awesome. Aotearoa leads the way again.
Leading the charge back into the Dark Ages.
Bob Bob well for one speaking in full adult understandable sentences lol
Tony Rule only a male in the dark ages thinks that
@@deedreamy6259 get back in the kitchen
Another selfish modern woman who thinks her baby is just an accessory.
She is too kind.May Allah give her more success and bless her baby.Amin
Allah? She is not religious. Praying to an invisible man in the sky does nothing.
Mk Ely well what if I question
Is God Real?
Religious people are gonna jump you because they have the most problems not only Islams but christians Hindus and even Buddhists
Mr K if ur talking to the 2nd person in the comment(mk ely)ok
But me?
I never said anything about hating islam
Mr K aight
@@mkely9032 well keep allah to only those who belief in your god
I'm so proud of Jacinda Ardern leading the country I grew up in. She has a most engaging personality, no doubt outshining any other world leader in this sort of setting. Let's not forget that New Zealand led the world in giving all women voting rights, in 1893. The other women PM's of New Zealand were important, with one, Helen Clark, becoming a senior UN official and later a candidate for Secretary-General after 9 years as PM.
dsndicmsa Bro just calm down.
It is a worry that people are fooled by mere fluff, platitudes and appearance.
Jacinda is awesome! I so hope she's re elected and with a majority!
@@lovelyjubbly7456 wake up and see beyond your partisan viewpoint. You'll wait a while before you find another Jacinda.
How bout her new pro murder a baby law ?
I moved to New Zealand over four years ago to be with my NZ partner. I feel so blessed and honored to be able to live in this country with such hard-working, diverse, and KIND people. As a retired US Registered Nurse, I was also very impressed with both the conduct of the government AND the conduct of the citizens and residents of this country during the Covid-19 pandemic in getting the virus under control...
Condolences to everyone affected by the Christchurch Attacks on March 15. The NZ Prime Minister has done a great job responding to this terrible tragedy in a swift but professional way.
Matthew Wolfe Thank you. X
You realize that chch was a gun grab that the NZ PM signed off on.
She is a murderer and a liar.
@@yeahnahyeah4113 Yep. Who do you want to Murder?!
Yeah i was in school during the shootings it was very scary.
@@yeahnahyeah4113 your comment has aged well
It’s nice to have a leader that you can be proud of and has real values, and is for the people not the privileged few.
The privileged few? Um you realise MOST of the country voted national and aren’t privileged few. The irony is that Labour voters actually have the support of housing investors because they get so rich off of all the accommodation benefits.
R huh funny how National controls the media and still manages to lose the election
R if the majority of NZers had voted National we would have a National government so clearly they did not get a majority of the votes.
You guys really need to learn how MMP works.
always funny when you BLOCK CAPITALS a word and use it wrong
dsndicmsa 😂😂😂😂😂 clearly you get all your information from Mike Hoskings and his little helpers.
i really admire new zealand… as a filipino, i wish that my country would be accepting of a leader like her, but i know that the politics in the philippines cater to the patriarchy. all my love to the prime minister of NZ! such an inspiring woman.
She is just so lovely but more importantly, seems a real person, in a way 90% of politicians aren't. Go kiwi's!!!!
Man... this lady commands my respect! True Boss Lady!! 👏👏
Who are the nitwits who think a woman cannot have a child and take care of the nation? Pity their tiny mentality.
Utmost love and respect for this lady from India 🇮🇳
So proud to be a Kiwi, good on you Jacinda, so intelligent and articulate : )
as an Aussie im proud! she's cool
Pround of what exactly??
no ones proud to be a kiwi
its a shithole here
I'm proud to be a Kiwi, it's not perfect but at least our Govt is now trying rather than selling us down the corporate river
So glad you are NOT in Trumpland, wouldn't want to anyone to go there when that crazy man-child is terrorizing! Tourism is waaaaaaaaaaaay down.
“I would just talk about NZ” Perfect answer!!
loved that answer ... it was a barbed one, implying "Trump would just talk about himself - so I would just talk about New Zealand"
dodged that question nice
Jacinda is the worst prime minister we ever had.
and kindness comes from being strong.. being strong in your human values, being strong in your virtues and being strong in your will to be kind to all . It takes courage and strength to be kind, to be kind enough to give strength to others who are weak , to hold someones hand when they have fallen. a coward just walks past and an evil person will relish someone's weakness. its only the strong who can be kind. This woman is absolutely adorable. she seriously makes me want to pack my bags and move to New Zealand.
Absolutely what I feel when watching her. She looks after her country as a mum looking after her children. Just amazing
So nice to see a head of state that is intelligent and enlightened instead of the troglodyte we have here in the states.
The PM is not our head of state, she is head of Government. That's an error on the part of the presenters. In a constitutional monarchy such as New Zealand, Her Majesty the Queen is Head of State. But thanks for the compliment.
dsndicmsa - I have seen your comments all over the place and you just come across as some angry crazy person who doesn't make any sense. While i support your right to make a fool of yourself online can you at least try to be constructive once or twice?
She's the best mum & PM for us here in New Zealand ❤❤💫💫⭐🌟🇳🇿🇳🇿🇳🇿🇳🇿🇳🇿🇳🇿🇳🇿 proud .
dsndicmsa you don’t have to ask. If they can afford an internet connection we are paying them to much for the work they don’t do and never intend to do.
She is a bloody embarrassment. She does nothing and the country is going backwards.
Right there with you Jacqueline! So proud :)
Jacqueline Ann stop watching NZ mainstream news... you have been deceived!!!
Jimmy Watson absolutely brother don't back down!! most New Zealanders are brainwashed by the communist mainstream news networks 🖐
You rock Jacinda! Aroha from back home!!
She is an angel .. also she deserve a noble prize ... salute angle lady...
@@crystal-sky Hahahah.. More like Trump.
@@crystal-sky HAHAHAHA! :)
The nicest leader in global politics needs put behind bars.
@@crystal-sky Why?
Foolish
She is a monster
It's good to feel some pride instead of cringing when John he was Prime Minister and going overseas
at least John Key could actually govern though
This is going to be a boost to tourism too. Good for her, an authentic person leading our country!
@@katiefield2771 your opinion, mine was he was a terrible PM. Less experience and more of a figure head than any other PM. I am more than happy with our current leadership.
What wasting 20m on a flag no one wanted yeah really governing well you are delusional!!!
@@bodybalanceU2 even worse John Key saw the failure of changing the flag as his big disappoint of his leadership. He wanted a new flag to be be his legacy. Jacinta wants the reduction in child poverty to be hers. Regardless of whether she is successful or not the difference between the two is striking.
Our Prime minister 💛 I didn't personally vote for her because Labour economic policies don't align with my personal beliefs but nonetheless I believe Jacinda is an excellent and intelligent leader.
Thanks for not treating politics like a sport - good on ya! 😀
@maccajoe That's a really simplistic comment. As a millenial land lord whose friends are finding it difficult to get on the property ladder I am thrilled Jacinda took the initiative to make the foreign buyer ban, I deplored National for their lack of action on that front. My issue with Labour are things like mortgage interest not being tax deductible which means landlords will be passing these costs onto their tenants through increased rent which is a terrible thing to happen. This will only benefit already established baby boomers like my boss who has about 20 properties, it makes it harder for middle class (esp millenials) investors to get on the property ladder. It especially screws over already struggling families with high rent which is largely their voter base. It was actually really difficult to choose between Labour and National because I liked neither but this was the one point that made me vote National.
@@KyleS3m3noff Put the good of Country before Party! Our strength as kiwis is meeting each other halfway and looking out for each other, I hope that part of our culture never changes 💛
wickandde... neither did I vote for her but she’s earned my total respect.
I’m travelling atm and when my nationality comes up in taxi conversations... it’s “aaaah Jacinda. You are very lucky”.
Jacinda is the worst prime minister in NZ history.
I have very little knowledge about NZ and this delightful leader has made me want to learn so much more
Absolute beauty of a lady. There’s something special about her and I like seeing more female leaders as they seem to be more pro-life than pro-competition like some male leaders do. Hope she stays in office for a long time!!
@dsndicmsa i'm both! cracked my head over love and i'm mentally ill for success in liife. hope you're the same!!
She will be gone next election.
Her Majesty PM NewZealand Lady Jacinda Worlds Most Dignified Greatest Leader In Modren History She Deserve Nobel Peace Prize 2019
Jacinda and Clark gave their daughter a Maori name "Te Aroha" that means "Love". In NZ Te Reo Maori is the language of NZ's indigenous people, Maori. As well as one of our country's official language aside from English and sign language. In Aotearoa NZ Maori are referred to as "tangata whenua" meaning the people of the land.
That's my PM. Best my Nation has ever had....FINALLY shape NZ the way it should.
Don't be deceived, this person is a very dangerous ' Extremist ' and a member of IUSY Communist Party. Watch this video.. ruclips.net/video/WaESzRNMVeI/видео.html
You are one of the many fooled ones. She wants to get rid of Western values and that's just the start. Aussie Tim is correct.
Jacinda is the worst prime minister in NZ history.
Nice interview ladies. Kia kaha Jacinda. Look forward to seeing baby Neve next time 😆
@dsndicmsa the price rises are from the last decade of inaction of Governments not this last year. At least this Govt is doing something about it and not just ignoring the issue and saying it does not exist. You seem to have a serious lack of perspective on reality.
Viv McGreal it’s Niamh
@dsndicmsa crickets ofcourse from the faithful. The madness of crowds in action, once again.
@dsndicmsa had to ruin the mood
Good you on Jacinda, a great role model for how all world leaders should be 😁
Maybe a great role model for a world leader but a terrible role model for a mother.
dsndicmsa so true!!!!!!
dsndicmsa
Another dip stick throwing the word "communist" around like a swear word. New Zealand is not acommunist country, it is not run by communists, and you are just about as ignorent as it is possible to be without being locked up for your own good.
Dotard disagrees
She's a bloody liar who lied to get into government. She should take her soy boy and her baby and go home and play family. Fake smiles and weasel words, that's our prime Minister.
I know her after the mosque shooting attack, and realize she is a hero, the real one.. a figure of leader, mother, and inspiration
So proud to call this woman MY PRIME MINISTER
dsndicmsa do you have to leave a vile comment on everyone’s positive posts? Typical RUclips troll, and most likely a young nats supporter 🙄.
@dsndicmsa
Shut up
Oldskoolflair
this guy is not a troll - he's worse than that ... an ORC!
emmalillylena sameeee!
I’m proud to be a kiwi, I’m proud to be a labour voter, I’m proud that the labour leader is Jacinda
Kiwis are lucky to have her as their PM
....not sure, as a Kiwi, I agree. I would say it's more a case of NZ getting a PM that we deserve, than anything else....
How do you know? You’re not a kiwi.
@@theroman1142 No I am not, but I have been working with kiwis from past nine years.
fanx
I'm so proud to be a new zealander watching jacinda in this interview
NewZealander's Are Very Luckiest Nation In the World they Have Leader Like Jacinda May Allah Bless Jacinda her faimly Whole NewZealander's
Below middle income not so good
Jacinda is a leader who at this time is unmatched by any man or woman in our political history; she also happens to be a woman and a mother.
I’m her fan 🙌❤️ such a beautiful soul she has. May God bless her and her family ❤️
Big woman with a big hearth . I love listen to her voice . She is strong and smart .she showed the world her leadership after the massacre in church Christ
26 weeks, people!
yep our country looks after its citizens, you should come over for a holiday and if you break your leg, we'll fix that too.
I've been wanting to visit for ages, tbh. (I hope that I don't break a bone while on holiday, tho'.) :)
Oh that’s just the start, for the most part, we do actually genuinely value kindness in NZ.
@@janetta98 ACC would cover your broken bone.
0 weeks for fathers, people!!
Feminist hypocrites.
Wonderful wonderful lady. God bless you. You are an angel. An inspiration.
She's not, actually, the "Head Of State" - that remains the Queen.
But she IS incredible!
Just saying...
I was going to say the same. I scrolled the comments first though and found yours. She’s “Head of Government” and amazing at it. Queen Elizabeth II is the Head of State and is represented by the Governor-General Dame Patsy Reddy.
This woman is the real deal!! She’s intelligent, compassionate and displays empathy.
This story is offensive, that patronises women in general.
Mind you, the American accent that drives this story is somewhat crazy.
It’s such a uncomfortable conversation. Where Prime Minister is too kind.
Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern would say some uncomfortable things about Trump. She’s was too diplomatic to say anything different!
Sometimes Americans need to be put in their place!!
I want to make it clear. That Jacinda Ardern is a incredible woman! Who’s displayed such leadership!
God bless her and her family
JACINDA YOU NEED TO COME TO ENGLAND AND TAKE OVER THERESA MAY!! U ARE THE BEST PM I HAVE EVER EVER SEEN! ❤️😂
zara adeel ...hands off were keeping her right here 🖤
Interstellar Punk 😂🖐🏻🤚🏻
She's the best 🇳🇿 we love you here in New Zealand
Yet most of the country didn’t vote for her. Helen Clark was more loved than Jacinda.
R most of the country is brainwashed by media works who were bailed out of a $45 million dollar bankruptcy by the National party. You're one of those sheep
dsndicmsa are you one of the dickheads who thought it's was ok to spend $27million on a flag change?
The country is not brainwashed.
I can tell you right now, my "democratic process" vote is going to the party that is increasing the amount of money spent in education because your response is just terrible, and may there never be any more uneducated children slip through the cracks in New Zealand like you have.
She is so quick to answer questions in such an articulate and intelligent way.
Role model for world leaders everywhere! I LOVE her!
You CAN be...you know, a human being, and not a self obsessed slob.
She is so kind i respect her!!
Such a breath of fresh air love from Morocco
All eyes on her again since the unfortunate event in her country just few days ago. She has come strong, as a human being and as a leader. Newzealnders are rightly proud of her and deserve her, every bit worthy of being their Prime Minister.
Correction. She is not head of state. Queen Elizabeth II is head of state.
What beaufiful woman inside and outside
Jacinda THE WORLD NEEDS U MORE THAN U MAY NEED IT
Good Madam Jacinda.i have nt visited nz as tourist but I have visited all major predominantly white English speaking countries USA,UK, Australia,canada.she is so well spoken n kind that I have an urge to visit nz as tourist for 15-20 days.utmost respect for this lady.nz is different.
She looking very calm, very commanding, very generous, polite, intelligent, confident, knowing her job as a leader so well..............plus so young she.........age does not matter as its you matter who at any age can do anything if you have qualities of leadership which she definitely has.........congrats on her becoming mom............of a cute a doll
Beautiful and smart young lady, I have nothing but respect for her- love from somalia
Very lovely and inspirational leader.
🇲🇦❤️🇦🇺we love jacinda for ever 🌻✌️
Before anyone,anywhere in the world,is allowed to hand power to politicians,they should be required to see and hear this lady.Young,forward looking and caring about people!Contrast her with “the old men”,who are right/left wing,who lie,who know everything.Jacinda,yor Christchurch speech had tears running down my cheeks.Thank you for being you,you give us hope.
You want this world to be the best and no wars and no problems and safe the solution is LET WOMEN LEADING countries look at GERMANY 🇩🇪 and NEW ZEALAND 🇳🇿 i. Support women’s to be leaders 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Such an awesome,DTE,FRIENDLY and good lady this PM seems.more power to you Ms a Jacinda Ardern.best wishes from Roul@Australia.
We love you, lots.😜👍
What a great role model.
she is soo prettyyy! and i mean that in the charismatic way. her smile and the way it reaches her eyes is amazing
Incredible values.... Beautiful smile !!
5 months later after this footage was released, she becomes an international attention.........gold is gold
God bless her and her family all the time. Amin
I'm not a voter for her party but I adore Jacinda as a person and I appreciate how kiwi and genuine she presents herself
The prime minister isn't the head of state, she's the head of Government. Queen Elizabeth II is the head of state for New Zealand.
26 weeks PAID maternity leave? That’s amazing.
It's the choice of the parents.
As I understand it ...
you can have both parents get 13 weeks
Or one parent 26 weeks and the other no weeks
In Jacinda's case - she opted for 6 weeks for herself and 20 weeks for Clark
[I could be wrong about how it gets divided up]
Christine Gangne Canada is also the same
Amazing she is so young
@dsndicmsa bruh youre in every single comment chain
Wow an angel. I hope she is well protected . Good job New Zealand
I love this woman she is an incredible human being and a leader all the leaders should learn from this beautiful person 😍
Finally, she's the best prime minister in the world.
She definitely is. We’re dying here in the UK. Highest death rate in the world per capita. NZ is lucky to have her
strong , beautiful mom , my respect
a role model of what a leader should be.
she has strong patriotic , charisma and energetic . i adore her . she handle the terror attack very well
She’s perfect 😭❤️
At being a bad leader
She is a role model for the whole world. I am very proud of her.New Zealand is one of the best and role model nations .God bless NZ,her and her family including her baby.Thanks.
Respectable Prime Minister of New Zealand and the people of New Zealand are also respectable we love you
I am a Trump conservative from Canada and I love her.
Yes you can
Great job
You are terrific ❤️
CONGRATULATIONS!!! 🙏🙏🙏❤️
“you can be strong and you can be kind.” Wise words.
Just awesome. Talk about yourself and share your own experiences that might make a difference for others. Brilliant!
Role model! You are so angelic PM.
Lovely Prime Minister Ever!
What a great lady. A credit to a great nation.
shes a tyrant
Can I just say that Jacinda isn't actually New Zealands' Head Of State - that title belongs to Queen Elizabeth II. But, apart from that, I absolutely love her and think she's going to do a great job!
💖🇳🇿 She seems so lovely, refreshing
Love this woman!
Hey
THis is how a country should behave.. man I was a NZ
Best leader I have seen in the 21. Century.
Really impressive ❤️😍
She is great human being May Allah always bless her💐💐💐
Respect for her to stand with muslim from singapore
From the island of Niue,, they love you and your family... Thankyou...
Very intelligent lady. I wish my cousin Bilo was like her 😆
It is amusing to see the contrast between Jacinda Ardern and these two talking dolls hosts. Must have felt for her like being interviewed by the Barbie dolls.
You are so awesome Love you Madam Prime Minister
True example to other countries how new zealander are I can't describe how great is pm of new Zealand good bless u and my condolences to the families who lost the loves one from the brutal inhumane attack in those two mosque
