I’m a North Carolina grandma who follows him, appreciates him and votes for him!
He’s my congressman! Well… was. 🤷🏻♀️ We LOVE him! Get used to him, America because he will be POTUS one day!
Me too! Been following him since his first newsletters.
I hope so! Love him! 👍
❤
I would LOVE to see him in that office!
Kernersville here
I really wish we had more representatives like him in our government. My Republican mother introduced me to his feed after she came across him. We both agree that he’s the sort of person we need in DC.

We both agree that she’s the sort of person we need to honor in DC & throughout the world.

I met him
In person he is very down to earth person

As a former Congressional staffer, he is spot on about people being there for the theatrics.
This is how elected officials should be. Intelligent and seems sensible.
He's running for NC Attorney General in 2024. Let's go fellow Tarheels. We need to elect him!!
Make no mistake: Jackson is popular because of how he delivers his info. In format AND personality.
Make no bronze is black brass is white mistake Jackson is popular amongst Africans because of how he delivers his info related to passing White in format and land of Zeus's mistress personality -- all living humans descend in an unbroken line purely through their mothers and the mothers of those mothers back until all lines Converge on one mother - the mitochondrial eve. Make no mistake all humans are African. Humans make mistakes
@@user-hh3ew3oe6t. Don’t have to convince me, I’m Black and already knew that.
Love Jeff! He’s a true public servant. He is the dad America needs.
I am a grandma on tic toc who loves Jeff and I live in NC 💙💙💙
That guy was Refreshing, to say the least!! Let's get more like him please!
Wow!! This guy is amazing. Too bad character of this caliber is so rare because we need more like him in office.
Rep. Jeff Jackson is really changing the game. Everyone should give him a follow.
If you're not familiar with Jeff Jackson, he first popped up on most radars as the first NC state senator to stand loudly against the bathroom ban and he's been fighting for NC since. A legitimately great human
Go Jeff! We’re all back home standing behind you
I so wish Jeff Jackson would seek higher office so that I could vote for him on a national level. I don't know much but he's more exciting than anyone in the Democratic Party just for being authentic and clear.
Just make sure you vote even when you're not excited.
Also there are plenty of interesting new democratic rising stars. And the progressive wing is so admirable.
@@Itsant33 I agree with you, but even progressive stars like AOC could never win the presidency with the current views she holds. Democrats are a center right party and AOC and the progressive wing aren't going to change that.
He did. He was a state senator and then ran for the federal senate and lost to Cherie Beasley who then lost to a GOP (of course). I’ll be happy to have e him as AG, which could be a stepping stone to governor, which could be a stepping stone to POTUS or senate.
I loved how he wasn't affraid to call out his own party for its share of responsability. So many times on two party system they play the blame game.
Not to do that BUT...
*Try and find a republican calling out her or his own party.* 😂
(Never mind the sincerity of that request, I know there are some rare examples in certain situations)
If you don't give Desi and Klepper this show then they should get there own. I'm fine with a UA-cam show... I don't mind watching ads to see them... But they really work together!
A rare occasion that I'm proud of a fellow N Carolinian in national politics. SO much integrity.... unlike the Goobers of Politics who've gerrymandered the F out of the state.
lol @ Goobers of Politics. They really are, especially Tricia Cotham…turncoat.
I’ve been a constituent of his for years. He’s been active on Reddit for a long time and personally answers questions and addresses constituent’s concerns.
That's nuts. I can't imagine any politician on Reddit lol. But that's great. Like he said: politicians need to be where their constituents are.
That's nice cuz I will never see his tik tok videos, that is totally owned and controlled by the Chinese government and one would have to be an idiot to download that app on their phone
I watch his videos on Instagram
@@J.M.-nb4gw - Sure,my friend, sure. That's not the topic here, tho. *Save the rant for when it's applicable, okay?*
@@CheifR0ckahey did weekly. "NC and covid" posts on Reddit throughout the pandemic. Super informative
I'm not in Jeff's district, but have long supported him/donated to his campaigns. His info videos during the height of the pandemic were incredibly clear and encouraging. I'm cautious about putting much faith in a politician, but think very highly of Jeff Jackson.
I love this guy! I’m almost 60! I’m planning to vote for him in ANY ELECTION
He is the only bright light in NC politics and makes me proud to live here
Never heard of him before, but I loved his demeanor, his message, his stance on gerrymandering and calling out his own party, and the term "Outrage Olympics". His genuine enthusiasm for public service was refreshing and I hope he does ascend to a national office. Also, his ability to navigate the hosts jokes gracefully and play along was nice.
Jeff Jackson is what leaders should be like. Respectful and truthful. I proudly donate to his campaigns.
THANK YOU FOR COVERING JEFF! 🎉 He is just so sensible and straightforward 😊
This guy is going places. Remember his name.
I defy you to forget a name as generic as Jeff Jackson!
What a treasure of a public servant!
And thank you for such a clear, calm and powerful argument against gerrymandering.
The short answer for "attorneys general" is there's a class of noun, that, unlike most nouns in English, has the adjective after it instead of before (aka "postpositive adjective"). When that happens, and you want the plural, obviously you have to make the noun plural, not the adjective after it, thus "attorneys general". Other examples are courts-martial and passers-by. (It turns out "attorney general" is originally from French, where all adjectives are found after the noun.)
Thanks!

❤ I LOVE grammar and explanations thereof! 😍 Thanks!
Your answer is the correct one but for pure brevity I like: They're not generals, they're attorneys.
Like sisters-in-law
We in NC LOVE JJ! ❤❤💙💙💙💙💙
He's amazing. He's one of the few things about NC politics that I'm proud of. Thank you, Jeff!
I always loved Jeff Jackson; I'm so glad he has decided to run for Attorney General in NC!
Wow can we get more ppl like him in politics please??
Fantastic to see there are some actually serious people in congress.
Heeeey, that's my rep! Proud to have voted for him and supported him back when he was my state house rep 😊
Fellow OG!
You GO, Jeff! Make them tow the line and get rid of corrupted politicians! Love your hopeful and honest demeanor! Thank you! 💚
I voted for Jackson and am so proud of his platform and sensibility ❤
This guy’s the real deal. He’s from my state and I’ve met him.
Thank you Daily show for having this wonderful man on your show. You are discovering what millions of North Carolinians, Red and Blue, have known for years. He is for real.
I would vote for Jeff
in idiocracy (the measure of our day) he would get a very predictable diagnosis. he needs to talk more better or hella fight that diagnosis.
I'm a grandma who really appreciates him on tiktok. Great job Rep Jackson, please keep it up.
Love Jordan and Desi's chemistry. They are hysterical together.
Wow. When people say meet people where they are, this isn't what I picture.
Oh the irony of a Chinese app possibly saving US democracy!
He is great! No gerrymandering ! Level headed, moderate. This is what we need!
Yes, they're called Democrats. The party of production, not destruction
That's a fact Jack 💙😎👍💯🇺🇸
what does moderate mean anymore :/
Been following Jeff since he was my state senator years ago. He has shared information with his constituents like this for years-long before he became a Tik Tok star. He’s one of a shrinking number of people in politics who I actually trust. This doesn’t mean he’s infallible, but I trust him to do his best by all of his constituents, and I trust him to admit when he makes mistakes. I haven’t lived in his district for several years, but I look forward to voting for him for AG.
Can you please have Mr Jackson on again and again? This guy knows how things roll... Would be nice to see him being the example of what politicians should be behabing💯👍😊
Wow, I just discovered this gentleman. Looked him up on UA-cam. Worth the effort!!!
Haven't heard of him either. I Will look him up!
He is totes adorbs.
(Sorry, couldn't help it).
My guy Jeff Jackson. Let’s go. Need way more politicians that are as straightforward and honest as Jeff.
Big fan of Rep. Jackson! And I like the co-host approach. I also think they both proved they could host on their own. Decisions are hard - who knew?
Great to see a public servant/congressman who tells it like it is. Kudos Jeff ...Thanks Desi and Jordan
This country needs more elected officials like Rep. Jackson. Just subscribed to him on UA-cam.
I am proud to have him represent me. He has ever since he became my state senator in NC. I am so mad at my current state legsilature for gerrymandering the maps and removing him as my rep in congress because he is sorely needed there. But glad he is going for AG and not giving up political office.
The GOP here are so wild, and control of the state Supreme Court too. Idk how we get out of this mess if people don’t start radically changing how they vote
This man will go far. Our country NEEDS him to.
WE LOVE THIS! Jackson is amazing. Proud to have him in NC
Excited to finally be able to vote for him as AG
Jeff is my Congressman and he’s fantastic. If you think we need more folks like him, then follow his advice and only vote for those who are 100% against Gerrymandering. As was revealed on the show, Jeff was Gerrmandered out of office by a cabal of right wing Republicans who are scared to death of people who actually talk to voters and listen to what they say.
I am actually glad they 'gerrymadered' him out of his office, now we get to vote for him as Attorneys General of NC!!
I’m hoping he goes from AG to governor
This is so refreshing and feels authentic
I love Rep. Jackson. He is the future of the Democratic Party. I can’t wait to vote for him for Attorney General of North Carolina!
I'm proud to say I have shaken his hand. I can't wait to vote for him for AG!
I'm impressed 💯
I genuinely snorted when he said "I'm a kitchen table guy". It was clear it didn't cross his mind what that means until a second later after the pause of recognition where he started explaining what he actually meant before the hosts caught it XD
I caught what he meant in the kitchen table. It meant a real informative conversation about what is really going on with politics.
I hope he runs for President!!!!💙💙💙💙
I'd like to order a copy of Jeff Jackson for Florida please. 😁
Absolutely love Jeff Jackson
I came across his videos on FB and started watching....i love learning more about whats going on from such a calm person.
Love this guy! So proud to vote for him!
You go Jeff! I hate hate hate that they redrew my district and got you out
This dude for president 🍄🇺🇲🍄
I will be happy to vote for this man as Attorney General. No politician is perfect, but I respect the heck out of him.
Rotate hosts forever. ❤🎉 Fantastic guest and true journalists. 😌 comedians hold it down.
I hope he and others like him help wake up the country to what a politician should be. Connect with the people, and show the credible evidence for which they base their decisions.
Jeff da goat 🐐
Thanks for making sense of the outrage Olympics.
Should be put on VP ticket.
Get rid of Gerrymandering and the Electoral College.
Absolutely LOVE Jeff Jackson. Have been following him on Facebook for years just because I thought he was funny and I'm from NC, but over time I've become a huge supporter of his. I even asked him a question at one of his Q&A's in Raleigh and got a picture with him. I don't think politicians understand how MEANINGFUL a personal connection like that with their elected official is. I'll vote for Jeff for anything 💖
The Outrage Olympics, what a great way to put it. If only the news wouldn't focus on these people and focus on the senators and representatives who only talk sense instead. Hard to do when there's less and less of these people though.
Bravo 👏 congressman ❤
YES JEFF!!!
We LOVE Jeff in NC! He gives us HOPE!
Such an interesting interview
This interview is gold
Meet him in person.. very down to
Earth politician
After living in a gerrymandered district for years I finally was able to vote for congressman that won. He was my congressman till I moved in March and he is doing a great job. Hoping he goes far in his political career
i had never heard of gerrymandering before i moved to the us. it's unheard of in my country.
Sad that he is not staying in congress. We need more of him.
I would vote for Jackson in a heartbeat if he ran for president.
This was wonderful!
Rep. Jeff Jackson is awesome! I miss being represented by him, since I don't live in NC anymore. He is the GOAT!
i've never heard of him, but if that's the real guy he needs to be in office at the national level. i'd vote for him for prez over the candidates i see running now.
That's the real guy!
Love this guy!
I’m am in love with these episodes right now
I love this guy!
Desi would make a great permanent host.
Too bad, I like Hasan and Ronny more. But hey, opinions.
Hassan please@@drextrey
I like him. I can see potential for the future in him.
It's not Jeff's adequacy that brings back hope - it's his popularity despite some political views. People recognise the need for normal representatives from each party and cheer for the calm discourse.
I see Klepper and Lydic in the thumbnail, and all of a sudden I'm like Amber says "WHAT??" I haven't watched it yet, the ad is playing, don't let me down! For the record, my favorite host has been Chelsea Handler, then a close tie with Sarah. I would love to see Roy Wood Jr. host, though, he's soooo freaking funny
Love him! Handled those Q’s which such class
The best DUO so far
