It's the columbine effect. Mass shooting with guns -> Outrage -> Gun Laws debated, last mass shooting brought up -> NRA confirms guns are good -> Conflict simmers down -> Nobody cares except the occasional time it's mentioned in the news. -> Mass shooting with guns. It will never end. It's the human condition. We are born to kill. A living being seeks above all else to discharge its strength. Life itself is will to power, nothing else matters.
100 mag drum, one bullet can pass through 4-5 people, yeah is VERY doable,plus ricochets. what you should be asking is WHY is it allowed for civilians to buy high capacity magazines in SELF DEFENSE.........who need that much bullets for protecting themmselves ?
NightagentWill...What would this shooting accomplish as a false flag event for the NWO? Only possibility I see is the effort to pass legislation to ban semi-automatic weapons. But he used a automatic weapon which was already banned years ago.
There is something very different about Conan and the rest of the late night TV hosts... he doesn't flaunt any political bias... he doesn't point fingers.. he tells it like it is in the most humble and respectful way possible. Bless this man. He is genuine.
That's why Conan's the only good one left. I love Craig, and was mad when he quit his show and didn't get Letterman's Spot like he should have, but he did get out just in time before the late night biased propaganda machine was forced on all the hosts.
Say whatever about the ratings, but this guy has been hosting since the time when other present talk show hosts were jobless. He is the current king of late night, classy guy
Yeah I honestly cant stand Fallon, Colbert, Kimmel, Oliver etc.. The fact that Conan still is a late night host is the only thing that would keep me watching late night hosts at this point.
DaSMURF13_MCTv lmao Colbert and Noah are the biggest propaganda machines on late night television. I like Noah as a comedian. I thought his stand up special was incredible, but lets be real. He thinks people who are leftist are inherently smarter then everyone else
Sinnan Momin Stephen I get you. Very biased. But Trevor Noah uses logic, science, and statistics to make fun of you guys. ruclips.net/video/tX7why_IWsk/видео.html
Conan addressed this very well. I believe that most shooters, including the one at Las Vegas, do it to go out with a large bit of publicity. They want the news to go up and for everyone they ever wronged to see and possibly think "maybe they were messed up in the head". I believe that once we stop reporting on these shootings on news, these occurrences will happen a bit less. Not gone, just less. Conan did this very beautifully. He didn't even mention the shooter's name once. He only followed how shootings have become more frequent and how they should not happen in a civilized country, and of course gave his respects.
Echocookie Well of course something like "the biggest US mass shooting", is going to make the news. This isn't something we can just ignore. People died, and many family members and friends of these victims have been greatly effected by this. Not only that, but the media flocks to negativity, that's what gets the most attention. I agree with you about these lunatics possibly doing these shootings for attention and publicity. It's very likely. Even if these shootings were really just big publicity stunts, people are going to give it attention.
you can't analyze someone psychologically based on one action. you have NO IDEA what their motives or thought process was. not every killer or bomber seeks public attention or recognition. people are more complex than that every other country figured out HEALTHCARE and GUN CONTROL, yet we can't...HMMMMMMMM
Echocookie Very well said. There is research and statistically based evidence that shows by not mentioning or glorifying the shooters name could, in one to two years, potentially reduce mass shootings by more than 40-50%. It's partly modelled or 'speculative' but wouldn't it be worth a shot? Spineless politicians being puppet mastered by the NRA is a waste of time...but perhaps we could convince the media?
JuzTroublez i just watched jimmy fallon ( whom i enjoy) nd he barely said anything but seeing his eyes flicker back n forth reading from a que card... meanwhile conan seems to be just talking freely from the heart... maybe jimmy just didn’t have the words but didn’t look too effected..
Except when he fake laughs at his guests. He's becoming Jimmy Fallon tier. He's still the only good late night host left, though. Sad how terrible late night comedy has become in only a few years.
Eddie Carlson why are you telling me to die because I ride a scooter. I mean are you really that insecure. Come on bro I commented to recognize the victim of the shooting not deal with your ass. Now please move on and enjoy your day:)
1:36...Conan on preparing for this show with his writers: "How can there be a file of mass shooting remarks for a late night host". Thanks for putting it in perspective Conan.
Conan is by far the best late night comic ever. Just based on his comedy and personality. However, he is also by far the most classy and sincere person that has a platform to address the masses. Very well put mr. O'brien. I will always be a big fan of yours. Not just for your comedy, but for your heart and character.
Tasic - Also did it on the other late night one (James). I'm grateful for my loved ones being safe, and broken hearted for those who lost people. I felt like reminding people to come together was the only thing I could do. 😕
Absolutely. And to those who think celebrities should not say anything about this, just because you are an entertainer does not mean you stop being a citizen & a human being. Plus, 1:14 will never not be screwed up.
This is the best response from anyone in Hollywood as I see it. Immediately after these horrific tragedy’s, the scared and traumatized American people have to listen to political bickering and told that because some monster snapped, the good people can’t defend themselves and use their 2nd amendment rights. Conan is just a genuine good guy, the other hosts are just there to spew political noises.
theresa bell I live in Henderson, NV and work just a couple of miles away, is that staged, too? Are you getting on a plane to come check it out for yourself? No, you're not, so just go away.
"When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, "Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping." -Fred Rogers 💔❤️
World Coming Down 5777 shove the conspiracy theory up your ass. Being sincere and not showing too much emotion while making sure people around him feel better and hopeful isn't acting. It's maturity.
My guy Conan❤️We need more people like him to openly talk about these issues. I’m glad he’s such a real person. Love and peace goin out to all the victims and their families☮️✌️❤️
No, I suspect Conan & Colbert are the most educated of the talk show hosts on politics. He just chooses not to weigh-in. I suspect because of that; when he does it has a greater impact.
Sure, we are corruptible humans. Some of us are evil, demented, sadist, monsters, but in stark contrast there are people who emit pure love and hope. In the words of the great Fred Rogers, just look for the helpers.
When i woke up and saw the headline for a shooting my immediate thought was "oh another shooti-" i paused. Shook my head in disgust and thought again, *another* shooting. The fact that i used this word unconsciously is disgusting. This *can't* become a normal thing in our society.
Whenever these horrible things happen, Conan always seems to be the one that makes me feel a bit better. I've been so heartbroken by this all day. My heart is with Las Vegas. I've already donated blood and donated to the GoFundMe as well.
I was up all night, I'm an insomniac, I was crying most of that time. My husband woke up and I couldn't do anything but show him the video. To say I'm depressed, or heart broken is an understatement. I didn't know anyone involved, but I have friends and people I admire that live out there, something in me just feels empty the past couple days.
"How can there be a file on mass shooting remarks for a late night host? When did that become normal? When did this become ritual?... And what does it say about us that it has?
Ever since he addressed 9/11, Conan always notes that he is by no means a qualified to report on these incidents but always keeps his message kind and genuine. Keep doing you Conan, Us locals in Vegas appreciate you !!!!!!
If a comedian says "something needs to happen", it's open to interpretation and he doesn't offend all the gun-lovers. Liberals will think that he spoke about gun laws, but he actually spoke about something that changed in society. If Trump said "something needs to happen", people would expect legal changes which would be reactionary and unwise to promise without having concrete plans. I mean... it didn't stop him before, but it wouldn't be smart for a politician, while it is smart for a comedian.
This was 2 years ago but I've just now seen it. There was so much respect, care and honesty in the way in which Conan addressed not only the tragedy of the Las Vegas shooting but also the broader issue of mass shootings in general. This is one more reason why I love him: he's actually a decent human being. I do wonder what I can do personally to decrease the amount of mass shootings in the United States.
Although in Jimmy's case, because it happened in his hometown, he had every right to be angry & hurt in order to get political. When something terrible happens where a person lives, they would get that way, too.
I also appreciate that Conan can deliver his message without crying. I can't sit through Kimmel's speech because of that. I know it hurt him, but it was just so awkward. And yeah getting political about it definitely takes away the emotion of it all as well. And people will say that his response was warranted because it happened in his hometown, but I still think if you're speaking on a public platform, you need to maintain at least a little bit of professionalism, no matter how severe the situation is or how much it affects you personally.
Thank you sir... It is so scary for us to live in a situation like this, where our lives could be ended by anyone with a gun... For all of us outsiders, America is always a symbol of hope and greatness... Even though these incidents clouds over that light, if we stand together, we can all make this world a better place. Spread love... Not hate and violence...
My dad told me he sat in his room and cried I’ve only seen my dad maybe cry once or twice it truly effected this whole city especially me like it truly hit home
I was just waiting for something truly horrific to happen, and, I thought to myself, things will have to change. Little children in an elementary school were brutally shot to death and absolutely nothing was done. Therefore, nothing will ever be done.
I live in Las Vegas and we're all shaken yet coming together. Interfaith ceremonies and gatherings at UNLV (many of those displaced were brought on campus) are taking place now. In the face of horror, we're trying to be strong 💕
I am German staying in the Excalibur as a tourist. I love Las Vegas! My flight leaves today, but I have been here four times in the last nine years and am willing to come back for more. I feel secure and the people here are actually a lot nicer than all those Germans back home, who never chat with strangers. Holidays in the US are always a blast and you shouldn't create reactionary laws, but stay true to your core values, which make this country a great place to visit.
Lets PlayTV so happy to hear that you're safe! Glad to hear that you've been treated well! We're all normally kind but more so these days. Random hugs and gratitude to seeing another sun rise, hope all accept our feelings. If yourself or others need anything, please don't hesitate to reach out to anyone, we're all here to help. UNLV has psychologists open to the public & trauma counselors at Circus Circus. I'm not sure how much information is going out to tourists. Hope you enjoy your next trip here & have a safe flight back home!
It's sad that I get better thoughts and solace from listening to our late night comedians, Colbert,Conan,Kimmel, Myers and Noah than our damned President.
Joyce Gibbs I'm glad you found Trump's lack luster, paint by numbers, going through the motions, barest of minimums speech after the shooting so inspiring. I'm a Republican, by the way, and a gun owner, as well, but find Trump a disgrace to the office and an embarrassment to our country.
@@JohnBeerschoten-qf8bz Well you’re certainly right about that my friend, around 19 kids were shot dead in Texas just yesterday😂 Its all some big joke to them I suppose
@@HetVarken Well friend. After all that has happened over the years, after every incident, nothing in any major way has changed in America to rectify all the death. It’s so pathetic it makes me laugh, that’s why…
I still am taken back by this video not only was he a class act through the whole thing but more than any single clip related to the issue of shootings in America it was so exceptionally said you’d think he’s the president Well done Conan
Well Said. and I've Always Loved Conan For Being A Non Political Host And I Was Born In 1999 And Grew Up Watching This Show/'s With My Dad And I Love Conan Cause He Makes It Clear About A Recent Tragedy From 9/11 To The Vegas Shooting Then He Does His Job And Get's The People Murning To Have A Laugh He's a Great Host. The Host Of The Night Shows From The 20th Century Are The Funniest & Conan Is The Last Of Them & It Will Be Hard To Find Someone That Fit's His Standard's.
They blame games, they blame songs, they blame firearms and they blame the law but they don't blame the people; they don't blame the wrong ideologies...
I'd rather an an unarmed person with a fucked up ideology, than one with 17 rifles pointed at 28,000 innocent people, but that's just me. You can easily skirt the main issue by just pointing at another aspect of it.
Exactly if only all people would teach their young to respect life then none of this would happen. Instead we blame it on guns, games, songs, in the end the only thing between someone pulling the trigger is that person's thoughts/conscience. Conan said it himself twenty years ago mass shootings were almost unheard of but people began to do it because of wrong ideologies spreading like wildfire. America is more divided then ever, we need to get our heads out our asses and come together as a nation and forget about our neighbor's beliefs and politics, and stop teaching our children to hate the "other group", instead we need to teach about love and the importance of life. when people abandon common good morality and trade it hate of those who are different, then that my friends is what sparks these horrific things.
I agree. Unfortunately, in my home state of Kentucky, the majority of the population here is Republican and, well, most Republicans are gullible and uneducated who listen to rich Republicans.
Thank you Conan for being sincere and not using this tragedy to push ‘facts’ that are unqualified and false! Thanks for not trying to push a certain agenda with so many lives lost like some other late night host wants to do... it’s very professional of you!
please stop calling sensible gun control measures (which Conan supports, mind you) “agendas”. stop trying to politicize facts (yes, actual facts. coming from Australia, one of the many developed countries that have *already* fixed this issue with sensible gun reform. Do the research, this truly isn’t an argument). What you’re doing is already the reason for the next tragedy..
Try buy fireworks in many States when it's not July 4th week: Can't: too dangerous. But stroll into Walmart ANY time, where you can't buy music with swearwords (!) and pick up guns and ammo. U!S!A!
The first mass shooting that I remember was when I lived in San Diego. It happened at a McDonald’s restaurant in San Ysidro, CA, near the Tijuana, Mexico border. I had just gotten home from work & my friend & coworker called me to tell me. As we watched it on TV, we were horrified...these kinds of things just did not happen. The year was 1984. That was 33 years ago. Now, these unspeakable tragedies are a part of everyday life. My God, what has happened to my country? This is NOT normal life, it is insanity & evil. I am grateful that my children are grown. For those of you that are raising families, I’m incredibly sad that this era is their childhood.
This is one of the best ways to address the public from a late night show host. Prayers for the families and friends of the slain and the injured. God bless them and us all. Kudos, to Conan for not being political about this!!!
This keeps happening and yet the world does nothing about it. Disgusting! Condolences to the 59 families who lost loved ones. May your loved ones rest in peace :-( To all those injured or affected I wish you a speedy recovery :-)
Brilliant and heartfelt, but "something needs to change" is a neutral comment, it's not taking a stand. I respect Conan's stance, but what needs to change is what Conan failed to do - enough people need to take a particular stance. If any of you would ask Conan his opinion on WHAT needs to change, I'm sure he would have one. So I'm just wondering why he didn't express that.
Agreed. But you got to remember that Conan is his own boss now. He's not forced or payed like other wiesel show hosts. Not that he would or wouldn't if he was payed or forced. Just noting.:)
+Dan S. he already said what needs to change. Conan: "I don't think that it should be so easy for one demented person to kill so many people so quickly. The sounds of those automatic weapons last night are grotesquely out of place in a civilized society." His stance, to me, seems clearly to be that semi or full auto weapons that can be used to kill multiple people in a matter of seconds should probably not be available to the public at large, as they will inevitably be used to increase the kill count in events like this. If the shooter had used a shotgun, pistol, knife, anything else... he could not have killed 59 people in the time he did. And before anyone says it (they've already said it in other threads): Yes, vans and bombs can also kill lots of people, but there are safeguards against the former getting into many pedestrian areas/concert areas and there are difficulties to making the latter (and you certainly can't just go to a "Bomb store" down your street and buy them).
For those who are anti gun-control, I have a question for you. What do you think we should do? If we do nothing this will only continue to happen. Do you have a better plan? Not here to argue, just want to hear your proposal.
SmokedSalmon12 how about either A. Stop putting mass shooters on a pedestal and giving them so much publicity. Or B. Actually talk about why they are doing it, instead of two party's going back and forth blaming each other
You have to remember that these people are criminals. Laws never have and never will stop criminals. You can't just say it's illegal to have guns, and expect criminals to follow that law.
auto45 it's illegal to possess heroin but there are laws for that despite the fact that criminals won't follow it. Should we just be a lawless society since criminals won't abide by the law?
auto45 we have to give mass shooters publicity because people died and the public needs to know what happened. After we discuss the motives of the shooters (either psychotic or unclear), then what's the next step?
I don't think that's what auto45 is getting at. Obviously laws are good. Laws create order and subdue chaos. Those of us who are anti-gun control typically (I can't speak for all obviously) just don't want such massive government overreach. It's just like at your job, you want to have a good boss, but one who gives you autonomy so that you can do your work in the best way for you. You don't want a boss who tell you exactly what you're going to do every minute of every day. We can make law after law and restrict freedom after freedom, but there will always be those who break the laws. Freedom is more important. Those who are willing to give up their freedom for security find themselves with neither freedom nor security. Letting the government dictate every single thing we can and cannot do or have or see or say will only further harm the vast majority of us who will strive to keep every law. As far as what to do, definitely not holding these shooters up on a pedestal. They get too much fame and publicity and this can lead to copycats. We also need to better secure our ports and borders because that's where the majority of the illegal weaponry in the U.S. is coming from. Shut off the supply the black market and you have taken care of a lot of problems. Getting the government out of health care would help as well so that the free market can bring prices for mental health treatments down as well as develop better screening methods for mental health issues. Removing "gun free zones" so that normal, law-abiding citizens can protect others with their own guns whenever an evil or crazy person starts murdering people. As odd as it sounds, more freedom typically leads to more order. Lawlessness and freedom are not the same thing because having broad and reasonable laws is what makes us a free people. I really appreciate you opening up a chat series that doesn't involve yelling and screaming like everyone else seems to be doing. Talking and working together to find the best solution is exactly what needs to happen at a time like this.
Here you see why Conan is such respectable and insightful host. He can be silly, yeah, but he knows whe pull it toghether. He delivered an hard felt speech, that crosses the line between "what you can say on tv" and "what's on his mind" in such a great fashion. I have lots of respect for the guy. Go Coco.
Are the NRA also responsible for Mexicos murder rate? Brazil? India? Somalia? What about Chicago? How is the NRA responsible for the 760 gun murders in Chicago last year? Almost all of them were committed with an ILLEGAL gun. Chicago has the toughest anti-guns laws in the nation. Well?
Is the NRA going around and handing out guns for people to use to kill people with, no they're advocating that people go out and buy a gun, learn to use it, and protect themselves from people who go out and get one illegally and try and hurt people
An NRA member would say "These things happen NOT because there are too many guns in America, but because there are not enough guns in America." It"s the logic of the Mad-Hatter, such people are beyond reason.
The "right to bear arms" argument was in place when people had a musket that would take at least 2 minutes to load and was very inaccurate. America, the whole right to bear arms needs to go away. Seriously.
You wouldn't feel that way if some psycho like the btk killer broke into your home and was attempting to torture and murder you and your family. In that situation i bet you'd pull out a gun without a second thought if it gave you a chance to save yourself and your loved ones. I bet you'd be thankful for that second amendment right then.
Arm the military and police with nothing but muskets and we can talk gun control. The right to bear arms is about the citizens having more firepower than the military. We need tanks, guided missiles, AAA, and perhaps some nukes.
I love how you republican's come out with this bullshit. The simple fact is that you all love guns - It's an extension of your penis and you love the power that it gives you. You don't think tough gun laws make a difference? I live in the UK, check out the stats of fatalities from shootings compared to the US.
Guns don't kill people. People kill people. If the killer didn't have automatic weapons, he would've used other means (truck or heavy vehicle, home-made explosive etc) to harm/kill many innocent people. That said, removing the ease of availability or putting tighter regulations on getting automatic/assault rifles, should be the first step in minimising the loss of so many innocent lives at the hands of one person.
On there own? wtf are you talking about. I live in Manchester in the UK where someone made a bomb and entered a concert full of children and blew them up... was it the explosive or the person?
Like Conan said, why are assault/military weapons falling in the hands of people so easily without due diligence and background checks. Furthermore, why do these weapons exist in a country like America in the first place, outside of military grounds? Although stopping distribution of these weapons won't exactly prevent all mass killings in the future, it at least is a step forwards in reducing the level of carnage that could be inflicted from one weapon.
Johnny MotoRider why would you possibly think that if someone is pro gun they are pro mass shooting? Your logic is flawed. Semi auto technology is at least 120 years old, but suddenly nobody needs a semi auto? The fact that mass shootings, truck bombings people ramming others with cars is independent of the technology, but more the loss. of a moral compass . There was a mass shooting in France, very restrictive gun laws. There will be one in Australia soon. Mostly pro gun people want to keep those weapons because they are seeing a world go mad and they want to be able to defend themselves, nothing more, nothing less. And one more thing, if 4 thugs break into your home a"high capacity" magazine, also known as a standard. Capacity magazine, may be barely enough.
no you are so very wrong. guns dont kill people, people dont kill people, people and guns....kill people. America gun manufactures has made american into a killing fields. More people have been murders then all the troops in Afghanistan and Iraq combined. YOU WILL have a friend who is shot and potentially killed..like so many officers who have lost there lives. Australia and japan banned weapons, and the death rate has drastically dropped to near zero.
yea cause you are gonna kill almost 60 people with a damn truck or small bomb! I used to have that mindset but things have changed, if didn’t have the gun he had yes lives would’ve been lost but not as many. and the argument of “not making laws cause people will find away around them” is stupid.
Watched this after the Vegas shooting... and am now watching it today after the shooting in Texas. Just an absolutely sick world we live in today. It truly makes me sick to my stomach to see these shootings become such a ritual in our society, and I don't think that Conan could have said it any better. God Bless those who have been affected by what happened in Vegas last month and those affected by the shooting in Texas yesterday.
"When did this become a ritual?" The line that hit me the hardest.
If only everyone there had an m4 with laser pointers. They would have been safe /s

NightagentWill...What would this shooting accomplish as a false flag event for the NWO? Only possibility I see is the effort to pass legislation to ban semi-automatic weapons. But he used a automatic weapon which was already banned years ago.

Agreed.

you can't analyze someone psychologically based on one action. you have NO IDEA what their motives or thought process was. not every killer or bomber seeks public attention or recognition.
people are more complex than that
every other country figured out HEALTHCARE and GUN CONTROL, yet we can't...HMMMMMMMM
Echocookie one problem, period goes inside the parentheses NOT outside 👍
Echocookie Very well said. There is research and statistically based evidence that shows by not mentioning or glorifying the shooters name could, in one to two years, potentially reduce mass shootings by more than 40-50%. It's partly modelled or 'speculative' but wouldn't it be worth a shot? Spineless politicians being puppet mastered by the NRA is a waste of time...but perhaps we could convince the media?
What a class act...... love you Conan ❤️
this wasnt a act in less it was a reanctment
Conan is always genuine. You can just tell
JuzTroublez i just watched jimmy fallon ( whom i enjoy) nd he barely said anything but seeing his eyes flicker back n forth reading from a que card... meanwhile conan seems to be just talking freely from the heart... maybe jimmy just didn’t have the words but didn’t look too effected..

you cant actually but whatever

Really well done conan, very well said.
how did the shooter obtain automatic weapons? my impression was those are highly illegal.
Vogler Zero ....they aren't. I don't know why, but they aren't.
Really? He pushed a politcal agenda instead of focusing on the victims and u think that is well said?
kcabyats * victims are dead. we need to focus on the living now.
Vogler Zero after time! Not to mention that automatic rifles have already been illegal since 1986
Great response... the best of all the late night talk show hosts.
Reefresocotias Conan is my favorite of all the late night hosts.
Reefresocotias i don’t know if that’s possible but compared to the other hosts his approach spoke to me more than any of the others.
Conan is a class act. I've been watching him since 97 or 98. I found him great when I was in 6th grade and I find him great now.
Nic well said
Simeon Costa jimmy kimmel
Conan is by far the best late night comic ever. Just based on his comedy and personality. However, he is also by far the most classy and sincere person that has a platform to address the masses. Very well put mr. O'brien. I will always be a big fan of yours. Not just for your comedy, but for your heart and character.
Conan always had that Letterman thing.
No other host is as good as those two

Please, please let's come together.
Lucky Llama I already came.. Twice!
Aye saw you on jimmys too
Lucky Llama come together, right now! Over me!
Tasic - Also did it on the other late night one (James). I'm grateful for my loved ones being safe, and broken hearted for those who lost people. I felt like reminding people to come together was the only thing I could do. 😕
Venkatesh G - Probably not the best time for a crude joke but actually glad you're smiling. Best of luck my friend
What a good speech.
Absolutely. And to those who think celebrities should not say anything about this, just because you are an entertainer does not mean you stop being a citizen & a human being.
Plus, 1:14 will never not be screwed up.
This is the best response from anyone in Hollywood as I see it. Immediately after these horrific tragedy’s, the scared and traumatized American people have to listen to political bickering and told that because some monster snapped, the good people can’t defend themselves and use their 2nd amendment rights. Conan is just a genuine good guy, the other hosts are just there to spew political noises.
I agree, detective Phelps
people dislike a video about the condemnation of a horrific terror attack. some people are truly sad
has it been established it's terrorist attack. If so, what was his "mission"?
Reaper & Sylum Some people are cancer to this world.
theresa bell The trolls are coming! The trolls are coming! Do not feed!
theresa bell wtf?? How is it fake?
theresa bell I live in Henderson, NV and work just a couple of miles away, is that staged, too? Are you getting on a plane to come check it out for yourself? No, you're not, so just go away.
In America you can buy a gun but you can’t buy kinder egg 🤔
WOKE
Mike Rotch The gun he carried is illegal and band you can't just go and buy a gun educate yourself before speaking a bunch of b.s
The gun he had was illegally purchased and highly illigal in its self
They have them at my corner store, and some 7 11s
Its not kinder eggs that kill people its people
"When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, "Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping." -Fred Rogers 💔❤️
Amen. By far my favorite host of all time. Extremely well said
I held the hand of my friend as she took her last breath. I assume the check in the mail?
World Coming Down 5777 shove the conspiracy theory up your ass.
Being sincere and not showing too much emotion while making sure people around him feel better and hopeful isn't acting. It's maturity.
My guy Conan❤️We need more people like him to openly talk about these issues. I’m glad he’s such a real person. Love and peace goin out to all the victims and their families☮️✌️❤️
I love conan never gets too political or serious. But when he does man I listen
You are not the most political, Conan. But you are the smartest late night host.
Maybe he's the smartest BECAUSE he's not the most political?
Poly Nikes He is the smartest because he acknowledges that he is not very knowledgeable in politics. He is not missinforming or missguide his viewers.
No, I suspect Conan & Colbert are the most educated of the talk show hosts on politics. He just chooses not to weigh-in. I suspect because of that; when he does it has a greater impact.
pilsung26 Colbert educated? Haha!
+hannu ainsalo very good response
Conan, a class act from Day 1. Nothing but love and respect for him.
“What does it say about us that it has?”
It’s hard to see him giving up on humanity but that’s what these shootings have lead to.
Keep calm and carry on, chump
Sure, we are corruptible humans. Some of us are evil, demented, sadist, monsters, but in stark contrast there are people who emit pure love and hope. In the words of the great Fred Rogers, just look for the helpers.
When i woke up and saw the headline for a shooting my immediate thought was "oh another shooti-" i paused. Shook my head in disgust and thought again, *another* shooting. The fact that i used this word unconsciously is disgusting. This *can't* become a normal thing in our society.
Whenever these horrible things happen, Conan always seems to be the one that makes me feel a bit better. I've been so heartbroken by this all day. My heart is with Las Vegas. I've already donated blood and donated to the GoFundMe as well.
Seriously, Conan is such a class act.
I was up all night, I'm an insomniac, I was crying most of that time. My husband woke up and I couldn't do anything but show him the video. To say I'm depressed, or heart broken is an understatement. I didn't know anyone involved, but I have friends and people I admire that live out there, something in me just feels empty the past couple days.
"How can there be a file on mass shooting remarks for a late night host? When did that become normal? When did this become ritual?... And what does it say about us that it has?
malaysian feel sorry for what happened in vegas..I feel heart broken too in sense of humanity..we all are brothers and sisters
I wish Conan was my president
Kind Smack , he's too smart to be present. He would make everyone look so bad in Washington, they'd assassinate him on inauguration day.
I wish the wild turkey walking down my sidewalk this morning was my president. Couldn't be worse.
I'd rather have a President with orange hair than an orange face.
Color noir Failed to capitalize “and” and you placed an unnecessary comma. Stop taking high roads.
Kind Smack
Trump also said nice things. I'm glad he's my president.
Well said, Conan.
Ever since he addressed 9/11, Conan always notes that he is by no means a qualified to report on these incidents but always keeps his message kind and genuine. Keep doing you Conan, Us locals in Vegas appreciate you !!!!!!
Thank you Conan. I live here in Vegas and it's a tragic event ☹️
tj d sorry about that tragedy try to keep up pal may god be beside u and the whole Vegas 🙏🙏
tj d same it is sad
Conan is unique in that he genuinely cares about people and has compassion for others. I've been a fan since 93 and always will be 👍🏻thanks Conan
watched/heard this monologue. immediately the sniffles came and i was choked with tears. conan's words cut through.
2017 is a bitch
Kind Smack no it’s the humans not the year
Thinh Ngo how does the year affect anything
and this bullshit had to happen on the same day Tom Petty passed, too. World's just becoming darker and darker.
Gregory Spalding no, 2017 has been a lot worse than 2016
be a real madarasama and cast infinite tsukiyomi instead of complaining about years man
Conan gave a better speech about it than donald trump
Better?? They both sent their condolences, how is one better?? lol
If a comedian says "something needs to happen", it's open to interpretation and he doesn't offend all the gun-lovers. Liberals will think that he spoke about gun laws, but he actually spoke about something that changed in society. If Trump said "something needs to happen", people would expect legal changes which would be reactionary and unwise to promise without having concrete plans. I mean... it didn't stop him before, but it wouldn't be smart for a politician, while it is smart for a comedian.
Mik Philo
Because unlike trump conan was speaking from his heart and not from teleprompter
matt ford you've been brainwashed by the media. Congratulations, you're a pawn
A deaf-mute could have given a better speech than Trump.
As a las Vegas resident I appreciate it coco!!! God bless
This was 2 years ago but I've just now seen it. There was so much respect, care and honesty in the way in which Conan addressed not only the tragedy of the Las Vegas shooting but also the broader issue of mass shootings in general. This is one more reason why I love him: he's actually a decent human being. I do wonder what I can do personally to decrease the amount of mass shootings in the United States.
So much better than Jimmy Kimmel's response. Conan wasn't political, he was simply genuine.
Although in Jimmy's case, because it happened in his hometown, he had every right to be angry & hurt in order to get political. When something terrible happens where a person lives, they would get that way, too.
I also appreciate that Conan can deliver his message without crying. I can't sit through Kimmel's speech because of that. I know it hurt him, but it was just so awkward. And yeah getting political about it definitely takes away the emotion of it all as well. And people will say that his response was warranted because it happened in his hometown, but I still think if you're speaking on a public platform, you need to maintain at least a little bit of professionalism, no matter how severe the situation is or how much it affects you personally.
Jimmy Kimmel is a hack & a creep
Jimmy Kimmel is a horrible human being and has a history of being a bad person, Conan speaks from the heart while Kimmel speaks to manipulate people
It's all political.
Thank you sir... It is so scary for us to live in a situation like this, where our lives could be ended by anyone with a gun... For all of us outsiders, America is always a symbol of hope and greatness... Even though these incidents clouds over that light, if we stand together, we can all make this world a better place. Spread love... Not hate and violence...
"Things were simpler then."
My dad told me he sat in his room and cried I’ve only seen my dad maybe cry once or twice it truly effected this whole city especially me like it truly hit home
I end up going back to these speeches Conan has done after every mass shooting...
me too.
Here right now
I was just waiting for something truly horrific to happen, and, I thought to myself, things will have to change. Little children in an elementary school were brutally shot to death and absolutely nothing was done. Therefore, nothing will ever be done.
I live in Las Vegas and we're all shaken yet coming together. Interfaith ceremonies and gatherings at UNLV (many of those displaced were brought on campus) are taking place now. In the face of horror, we're trying to be strong 💕
Good to hear that! The most powerful thing people can do in the face of tragedy is come together.
I am German staying in the Excalibur as a tourist. I love Las Vegas! My flight leaves today, but I have been here four times in the last nine years and am willing to come back for more. I feel secure and the people here are actually a lot nicer than all those Germans back home, who never chat with strangers. Holidays in the US are always a blast and you shouldn't create reactionary laws, but stay true to your core values, which make this country a great place to visit.
Alice Mulligan it's been a lovely thing to see. Not only has our community come together but others from out of state as well.
Lets PlayTV so happy to hear that you're safe! Glad to hear that you've been treated well! We're all normally kind but more so these days. Random hugs and gratitude to seeing another sun rise, hope all accept our feelings.
If yourself or others need anything, please don't hesitate to reach out to anyone, we're all here to help. UNLV has psychologists open to the public & trauma counselors at Circus Circus. I'm not sure how much information is going out to tourists.
Hope you enjoy your next trip here & have a safe flight back home!
This is the most heartfelt thing ive ever seen from conan
World Class Host
It's sad that I get better thoughts and solace from listening to our late night comedians, Colbert,Conan,Kimmel, Myers and Noah than our damned President.
Blowin, whatever Trump does, you would attack him so shut up. And they call Trump & his supporters unhinged, the irony.
BlowinSh!tUp Your a brainwashed liberal with no thinking of your own that's probably why.
no it means that you are sheep lmfaoooo
Joyce Gibbs I'm glad you found Trump's lack luster, paint by numbers, going through the motions, barest of minimums speech after the shooting so inspiring. I'm a Republican, by the way, and a gun owner, as well, but find Trump a disgrace to the office and an embarrassment to our country.
BlowinSh!tUp, well said.
Can you really blame some foreigners like myself for not wanting to visit, study or live in the USA because of this?!😠
I agree with you Vincentius. Because nobody is safe in America, not even the children. I have to repeat it again and again.
@@JohnBeerschoten-qf8bz Well you’re certainly right about that my friend, around 19 kids were shot dead in Texas just yesterday😂 Its all some big joke to them I suppose
@@Vincentius001 What's with the laughing emoji?
@@HetVarken Well friend. After all that has happened over the years, after every incident, nothing in any major way has changed in America to rectify all the death. It’s so pathetic it makes me laugh, that’s why…
I still am taken back by this video not only was he a class act through the whole thing but more than any single clip related to the issue of shootings in America it was so exceptionally said you’d think he’s the president Well done Conan
A normal pistol for protection, OK... But how can it be legal to have automatic guns like ak47 ?? What does this have to do with self protection?
It's not legal.
5777 Hey idiot some pistols have bigger caliber rounds then full fledged rifles
5777 Bte automatic guns are illegal
It is not legal in the USA, you have to buy a kit to upgrade it
Actually it's not legal since 1986
Way to express ur love for ur country I agree with what u are saying pray for Las Vegas
Leia Yeiter connan is not American
Ik but he lives her sooo
Leia Yeiter her who is her
Sorry meant here*
Who else is coming here after the latest shootings....as much as I hate to ask that.
I needed some solace.
When you look at the thumbs down, which should be "ZERO", this is how this stuff happens. God Bless the victims and their families. Well said Conan!
I'm sure we're close to building up enough thoughts and prayers to make this stop. Keep them coming.
We have an appointment at the funeral home tomorrow. You should meet us there.
World Coming Down 5777 Evidence???
Shooting crimes will end when USA stops its citizens from buying guns as if they'd bought a toy.
seriously?
it's not something you should have to build up. either prayers get answered or there's no god
Well Said. and I've Always Loved Conan For Being A Non Political Host And I Was Born In 1999 And Grew Up Watching This Show/'s With My Dad And I Love Conan Cause He Makes It Clear About A Recent Tragedy From 9/11 To The Vegas Shooting Then He Does His Job And Get's The People Murning To Have A Laugh He's a Great Host. The Host Of The Night Shows From The 20th Century Are The Funniest & Conan Is The Last Of Them & It Will Be Hard To Find Someone That Fit's His Standard's.
I’ve never been a huge fan of Conan’s, but he came out and spoke better then any other late night host who did the same.... great job man. Respect.
I don't know about ya'll but Im sick and tired of the senseless voilence. I'm tired of the hate and the selfishness of the people that do this crap
what happened ??
"Grotesquely out of place in a civilized society." yes
What a speech, no political bias, no propaganda for gun control, even admitting there’s more qualified people to talk about it. Best talk show host
i wish he were a reporter sometimes
Class act. Bravo.
Thank you so much, Conan.
Rest in Peace mom 😭💓 Jessica Klymchuk ☝🏼❤️
I never saw this. This is really powerful and spot on.
Seen a lot of reactions to the horror on various tv channels, Conan you by far presented just right. I respect your work.
They blame games, they blame songs, they blame firearms and they blame the law but they don't blame the people; they don't blame the wrong ideologies...
Best comment
Corvo Spot on. People are in such extreme disagreement about the possible solutions, they don't recognize the inherit problem.
Corvo true. The ideology of believing guns bring freedom is wrong and every supporter of it should die in a shooting
I'd rather an an unarmed person with a fucked up ideology, than one with 17 rifles pointed at 28,000 innocent people, but that's just me. You can easily skirt the main issue by just pointing at another aspect of it.
Exactly if only all people would teach their young to respect life then none of this would happen. Instead we blame it on guns, games, songs, in the end the only thing between someone pulling the trigger is that person's thoughts/conscience. Conan said it himself twenty years ago mass shootings were almost unheard of but people began to do it because of wrong ideologies spreading like wildfire. America is more divided then ever, we need to get our heads out our asses and come together as a nation and forget about our neighbor's beliefs and politics, and stop teaching our children to hate the "other group", instead we need to teach about love and the importance of life. when people abandon common good morality and trade it hate of those who are different, then that my friends is what sparks these horrific things.
It would help if Wisconsin would stop electing Paul Ryan, and Kentucky would stop electing Mitch McConnell.
Bri I cool brony profile pic dude. I'm sure everyone takes you seriously...
Kyle Hansen I take him seriously he still has more sense than you
As a Kentuckian, I agree. Mitch needs to go.
I agree. Unfortunately, in my home state of Kentucky, the majority of the population here is Republican and, well, most Republicans are gullible and uneducated who listen to rich Republicans.
Bri I Ryan is stepping down so that's a start
Thank you Conan for being sincere and not using this tragedy to push ‘facts’ that are unqualified and false! Thanks for not trying to push a certain agenda with so many lives lost like some other late night host wants to do... it’s very professional of you!
Sailor Samara's Collections Trump's a shithead btw
please stop calling sensible gun control measures (which Conan supports, mind you) “agendas”. stop trying to politicize facts (yes, actual facts. coming from Australia, one of the many developed countries that have *already* fixed this issue with sensible gun reform. Do the research, this truly isn’t an argument). What you’re doing is already the reason for the next tragedy..
I live in Las Vegas and I work on the Strip and I appreciate the support from everyone. thank you Conan
Try buy fireworks in many States when it's not July 4th week: Can't: too dangerous. But stroll into Walmart ANY time, where you can't buy music with swearwords (!) and pick up guns and ammo. U!S!A!
Conan is the best late night talk show host... appreciate that you addressed the tragedy without politicizing and alienating your audience.
Could you imagine if the entire world smelted their guns into tools and just helped everyone who needs it.. What a beautiful thought
The first mass shooting that I remember was when I lived in San Diego. It happened at a McDonald’s restaurant in San Ysidro, CA, near the Tijuana, Mexico border. I had just gotten home from work & my friend & coworker called me to tell me. As we watched it on TV, we were horrified...these kinds of things just did not happen. The year was 1984. That was 33 years ago. Now, these unspeakable tragedies are a part of everyday life. My God, what has happened to my country? This is NOT normal life, it is insanity & evil. I am grateful that my children are grown. For those of you that are raising families, I’m incredibly sad that this era is their childhood.
God bless everyone
Best comment
Not a big fan of Conan but I love how he addressed this horrible situation.
Also to those who dislike this video. What is wrong with you?
This is one of the best ways to address the public from a late night show host.
Prayers for the families and friends of the slain and the injured.
God bless them and us all.
Kudos, to Conan for not being political about this!!!
This keeps happening and yet the world does nothing about it. Disgusting! Condolences to the 59 families who lost loved ones. May your loved ones rest in peace :-( To all those injured or affected I wish you a speedy recovery :-)
It's not really a problem anywhere else in the world. Just in the United States.
Why would the world do anything, this is a national problem 💀
Brilliant and heartfelt, but "something needs to change" is a neutral comment, it's not taking a stand. I respect Conan's stance, but what needs to change is what Conan failed to do - enough people need to take a particular stance. If any of you would ask Conan his opinion on WHAT needs to change, I'm sure he would have one. So I'm just wondering why he didn't express that.
Agreed. But you got to remember that Conan is his own boss now. He's not forced or payed like other wiesel show hosts. Not that he would or wouldn't if he was payed or forced. Just noting.:)
To ip address - Noted. Thanks. I edited my comment thanks to your input. Much appreciated.
Take a look at Kimmels response. It certainly has more teeth to it.
Mybrainidont - Watching it right now!
+Dan S. he already said what needs to change.
Conan: "I don't think that it should be so easy for one demented person to kill so many people so quickly. The sounds of those automatic weapons last night are grotesquely out of place in a civilized society."
His stance, to me, seems clearly to be that semi or full auto weapons that can be used to kill multiple people in a matter of seconds should probably not be available to the public at large, as they will inevitably be used to increase the kill count in events like this. If the shooter had used a shotgun, pistol, knife, anything else... he could not have killed 59 people in the time he did.
And before anyone says it (they've already said it in other threads): Yes, vans and bombs can also kill lots of people, but there are safeguards against the former getting into many pedestrian areas/concert areas and there are difficulties to making the latter (and you certainly can't just go to a "Bomb store" down your street and buy them).
For those who are anti gun-control, I have a question for you. What do you think we should do? If we do nothing this will only continue to happen. Do you have a better plan? Not here to argue, just want to hear your proposal.
SmokedSalmon12 how about either A. Stop putting mass shooters on a pedestal and giving them so much publicity. Or B. Actually talk about why they are doing it, instead of two party's going back and forth blaming each other
You have to remember that these people are criminals. Laws never have and never will stop criminals. You can't just say it's illegal to have guns, and expect criminals to follow that law.
auto45 it's illegal to possess heroin but there are laws for that despite the fact that criminals won't follow it. Should we just be a lawless society since criminals won't abide by the law?
auto45 we have to give mass shooters publicity because people died and the public needs to know what happened. After we discuss the motives of the shooters (either psychotic or unclear), then what's the next step?
I don't think that's what auto45 is getting at. Obviously laws are good. Laws create order and subdue chaos. Those of us who are anti-gun control typically (I can't speak for all obviously) just don't want such massive government overreach. It's just like at your job, you want to have a good boss, but one who gives you autonomy so that you can do your work in the best way for you. You don't want a boss who tell you exactly what you're going to do every minute of every day. We can make law after law and restrict freedom after freedom, but there will always be those who break the laws. Freedom is more important. Those who are willing to give up their freedom for security find themselves with neither freedom nor security. Letting the government dictate every single thing we can and cannot do or have or see or say will only further harm the vast majority of us who will strive to keep every law.
As far as what to do, definitely not holding these shooters up on a pedestal. They get too much fame and publicity and this can lead to copycats. We also need to better secure our ports and borders because that's where the majority of the illegal weaponry in the U.S. is coming from. Shut off the supply the black market and you have taken care of a lot of problems. Getting the government out of health care would help as well so that the free market can bring prices for mental health treatments down as well as develop better screening methods for mental health issues. Removing "gun free zones" so that normal, law-abiding citizens can protect others with their own guns whenever an evil or crazy person starts murdering people. As odd as it sounds, more freedom typically leads to more order. Lawlessness and freedom are not the same thing because having broad and reasonable laws is what makes us a free people.
I really appreciate you opening up a chat series that doesn't involve yelling and screaming like everyone else seems to be doing. Talking and working together to find the best solution is exactly what needs to happen at a time like this.
I have seen all of the talk show address this Vegas incident and Conan one is the best. Well said Conan!
conan > kimmel
ofc
Conan > everyone
Better than Jimmy
Here you see why Conan is such respectable and insightful host. He can be silly, yeah, but he knows whe pull it toghether. He delivered an hard felt speech, that crosses the line between "what you can say on tv" and "what's on his mind" in such a great fashion. I have lots of respect for the guy.
Go Coco.
I think people that like Conan have a higher IQ than those who watch the rest like Kimmel show, even the comment section is civilized here.
*I SMELL A DEMOCRATIC CONSPIRACY*
He reminds of Mr White for some reason, weird...
Jay probably his speech at school after the airplains crashed
Maybe because he's a crooked fraud too?
Much better message than the last time. Calmness like this could allow this to be the last time.
The NRA will make sure these horrible things keep happening.
This doesn’t have to do anything with the NRA. The guns were acquired illegally and if that wasn’t the case then at least your argument is 1/10 valid
Are the NRA also responsible for Mexicos murder rate? Brazil? India? Somalia? What about Chicago? How is the NRA responsible for the 760 gun murders in Chicago last year? Almost all of them were committed with an ILLEGAL gun. Chicago has the toughest anti-guns laws in the nation. Well?
Is the NRA going around and handing out guns for people to use to kill people with, no they're advocating that people go out and buy a gun, learn to use it, and protect themselves from people who go out and get one illegally and try and hurt people
Molon labe.
An NRA member would say "These things happen NOT because there are too many guns in America, but because there are not enough guns in America." It"s the logic of the Mad-Hatter, such people are beyond reason.
What happens in Las Vegas, stays in Las Vegas
The "right to bear arms" argument was in place when people had a musket that would take at least 2 minutes to load and was very inaccurate. America, the whole right to bear arms needs to go away. Seriously.
spurts That's a horrible idea, more deaths would come from the removal of the 2nd Amendment.
You wouldn't feel that way if some psycho like the btk killer broke into your home and was attempting to torture and murder you and your family. In that situation i bet you'd pull out a gun without a second thought if it gave you a chance to save yourself and your loved ones. I bet you'd be thankful for that second amendment right then.
Arm the military and police with nothing but muskets and we can talk gun control. The right to bear arms is about the citizens having more firepower than the military. We need tanks, guided missiles, AAA, and perhaps some nukes.
Nobody needs a machine gun
I love how you republican's come out with this bullshit. The simple fact is that you all love guns - It's an extension of your penis and you love the power that it gives you. You don't think tough gun laws make a difference? I live in the UK, check out the stats of fatalities from shootings compared to the US.
Watching this in 2020... The heart of this man really shines through... what a decent guy Conan is!!! 👏
Guns don't kill people. People kill people. If the killer didn't have automatic weapons, he would've used other means (truck or heavy vehicle, home-made explosive etc) to harm/kill many innocent people.
That said, removing the ease of availability or putting tighter regulations on getting automatic/assault rifles, should be the first step in minimising the loss of so many innocent lives at the hands of one person.
On there own? wtf are you talking about. I live in Manchester in the UK where someone made a bomb and entered a concert full of children and blew them up... was it the explosive or the person?
Like Conan said, why are assault/military weapons falling in the hands of people so easily without due diligence and background checks. Furthermore, why do these weapons exist in a country like America in the first place, outside of military grounds?
Although stopping distribution of these weapons won't exactly prevent all mass killings in the future, it at least is a step forwards in reducing the level of carnage that could be inflicted from one weapon.
Johnny MotoRider why would you possibly think that if someone is pro gun they are pro mass shooting? Your logic is flawed. Semi auto technology is at least 120 years old, but suddenly nobody needs a semi auto? The fact that mass shootings, truck bombings people ramming others with cars is independent of the technology, but more the loss. of a moral compass . There was a mass shooting in France, very restrictive gun laws. There will be one in Australia soon. Mostly pro gun people want to keep those weapons because they are seeing a world go mad and they want to be able to defend themselves, nothing more, nothing less. And one more thing, if 4 thugs break into your home a"high capacity" magazine, also known as a standard. Capacity magazine, may be barely enough.
no you are so very wrong. guns dont kill people, people dont kill people, people and guns....kill people. America gun manufactures has made american into a killing fields. More people have been murders then all the troops in Afghanistan and Iraq combined. YOU WILL have a friend who is shot and potentially killed..like so many officers who have lost there lives. Australia and japan banned weapons, and the death rate has drastically dropped to near zero.
yea cause you are gonna kill almost 60 people with a damn truck or small bomb! I used to have that mindset but things have changed, if didn’t have the gun he had yes lives would’ve been lost but not as many. and the argument of “not making laws cause people will find away around them” is stupid.
condolences from singapore
Watched this after the Vegas shooting... and am now watching it today after the shooting in Texas. Just an absolutely sick world we live in today. It truly makes me sick to my stomach to see these shootings become such a ritual in our society, and I don't think that Conan could have said it any better. God Bless those who have been affected by what happened in Vegas last month and those affected by the shooting in Texas yesterday.
Well spoken! Conan is the most genuine of all talkshow hosts, much love!
This is the statement that has come back to my mind after every one after.
