President Barack Obama's 2024 DNC Speech: TYT Reacts

***

The largest online progressive news show in the world. Hosted by Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian. LIVE weekdays 6-8 pm ET.

The Young Turks are fearless in talking about the issues that matter. We are a rare show that combines all of the news that people care about in one place. We cover politics, entertainment, sports, and pop culture; all through a progressive lens.

What does it mean to be a “Young Turk?”

According to the American Heritage Dictionary;
1. Young progressive or insurgent member of an institution, movement, or political party.
2. Young person who rebels against authority or societal expectations.

"Sharp-witted, persuasive, and inspiring, calling out toxic Republicans, politely-ineffectual Democrats, and mealy-mouthed media mavens in equal measure, JUSTICE IS COMING will give heart to Democrats and progressives who seek to change our politics and society for the better.

The media can’t stop talking about the gridlock in Washington, as if a handful of stubborn Republicans are the only thing standing between us and a fully-functional democracy. The reality is that our government has been taken over by big business and their allies in both political parties. The getaway driver in this heist was corporate media. The good news is that the American people are very progressive. And soon progressives will take over Washington as well! And when they do, the great majority of Americans will love it.

In JUSTICE IS COMING: How Progressives Are Going to Take Over the Country and America Is Going to Love It (On sale: September 19, 2023), The Young Turks founder Cenk Uygur presents two ideas that counter everything we hear from pundits and politicians on a daily basis: one, progressives are correct on all issues, and two, America is actually a very progressive country. Millions of us know that we are a part of something larger, a movement that is already transforming Washington.

JUSTICE IS COMING, a compulsively readable manifesto, seeks to apply the momentum progressives have already built to a concrete progressive agenda that activists, voters, and citizens can all rally around. JUSTICE IS COMING looks beyond Trump to the larger historical forces that have given us this unique political moment, and explains why we should fight, how we should fight, and how we will win."

Trump take note, that is how an ex-president acts and gets his points over

[moonorphan]

Obama reminding us all why we voted for him in the first place. I love how much he focused on family and friendship in our communities. A lot of people right now do hate the division. He tuned into that and laser focused in on their emotions in a hopeful and joyous way. He's an amazing public speaker. I miss the energy Obama has. Do I agree with all of his decisions, no. I do feel like he genuinely cared about leading the entire country though, and I think he had a huge impact on younger people who hadn't been interested in politics. He has been an inspiration, and it was earned. I hope that Harris can live up to his standard of what it means to be presidential, if not exceed it.

A lot of Trump Cultists in here jealous of our convention. Their ship is sinking 😂

[SlamDoug]

No one has an easier time with charismatic public speaking than Barack, although I'm curious to see how Bill will do tomorrow. Barack always digs deep with his material in ways that always sounds fresh and keeps you hooked the whole time. Unreal talent.

[justinhoskins]

"I've noticed....That since ACA has become so popular, they don't call it Obamacare no more."

[michaeldunn]

Can't we just have Barack for just one more term. Just like a side of Barack.

[MsCooki]

Wow 20 yrs ago I watched a young charismatic man give a speech at the DNC. Barack Obama you may not agree with his policies but you can’t say he’s not someone you can look up to

[mmpnguyen]

When Obama speaks, people listen. When Trump “speaks”, people literally zone out.

[DominickDeGennaro]

Obama just makes me feel better about the United States when he speaks. Man, he is good.

[DGKREAKT]

Obama energy vs trump energy is a crazy contrast.

[DV-mlfm]

Wow!:No wonder he won two terms, his speeches are sooo powerful. 💙💙💙

[scrull]

Funny the two of them thought people would rather listen to them talk rather than Obama. 😂

[dadada]

I don't doubt Obama is one of the best public speakers in politics.

[craigray]

Lord, it was SO good to hear Mr and Mrs Obama speak on this level again! THIS is class, THIS is democracy, THIS IS AMAERICA!

[govinda]

I love it how Obama was struggling not to laugh when he was describing Trump.

[Bubs]

Dude if you can't listen to this and be Proud to be a American? There is no hope for you..IM PROUD TO BE AMERICAN GOT DAMN IT🔥🔥🔥🤜🏾🤛🏾💪🏾💯💪🏾🔥🔥🔥

[epicgamingmomentz]

Also the diversity in the crowd. The RNC was completely white washed

[monrush]

It's nice to hear a grown up speak rather than a man child who wasn't hugged enough by his mother

[stecky]

I miss having a president that is this eloquent of a speaker...

[antwong]

Obama's speeches always sound top notch.
