- CNN's Anderson Cooper speaks with Amanda Gorman, the nation's first-ever youth poet laureate, after she delivered a poem at the inauguration of President Joe Biden
#CNN #News
I've never seen Anderson so gobsmacked. He's just as blown away by Amanda's brilliance as the rest of us.
We're all so impressed. She's brilliant. Best wishes going forward from today, we're cheering for the US. From Australia 🇦🇺
He should be her god father - they seemed to inspire each other and had things in common
Finally we can get Justice for Jussie Smollett
@@carle3990 Yeah I don't think Anderson was thinking "he should be her godfather". Mind you she's legal age.
So when she says she wanna be president, know that she means it!
This young woman is wise beyond her years and she is amazing.
Yes, she is amazing.
@Brooke Baldvag he is a gay and he never hide that one, I’m okay with that
@Brooke Baldvag do you have a problem with gay people? I accepted them no matter what
Dark days coming soon.
@@mhall801 that dark days is over we have a 4 years of that shit , now it’s time to cleaning up the mess that trump done😂😂😂
Can’t believe this articulate young woman ever had a speech impediment ... she has proven we can all overcome obstacles.
Very interesting about the "R" issue. She is incredible.
Joe Biden has also overcome a stutter.

This is her in 2014.
She’s come a long way.
So does President Biden and my little sister. We stand with strength, not ridicule and break, but praise and build. I cry almost everything Biden speaks, his heart is so full of love.

#INeverKnewThatAtAll
Anderson is in aww of her like we all are. Eloquently spoken!!
Hello my beautiful great fans , thanks for your support, happy New year to you, how are you doing, I hope everything is fine, you can write me in the hangout app with my email

My goodness, you Americans are lucky to have a young woman of this talent...
Yes, we are!
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Indeed
You can have her, free of charge
Daniels H.S you don’t even know any...hate much🤔
Ms. Gorman’s words take one’s breath away. Maya Angelo would be so proud.
I was thinking the same thing!
Amen!
she's a poet for real. I am impressed
Not necessarily.. Maradona wasn’t proud of Messi - he was jealous of him... Just kidding.
She made this veteran proud that their are young citizens that understand the idea of America.
SHE IS SO BEAUTIFUL AND SMART GOOD TO SEE YOUNG BLACK WOMEN SO SMART I JUST LOVE HER LOVE HER GOOD BLESS YOU BEAUTIFUL
Iraq and gwot vet here. Couldn't agree more, Sir.
I watched the inauguration at my home in India. My parents didn’t understand english that much but they were asking ‘who’s this little charming girl? Don’t understand what she’s saying but she looks so energetic & confident’. 😃
Lots of love to her from India 💕 🇮🇳
Anyone else get the feeling that she has an "Old Soul"? This girl has too much wisdom, it's intense!
No, it is the young free mind that gives the future wisdom.
we need to protect her at all cost
She has a Buddha-like aura
LOL. it's because she's struggled through a lot in a short time. experience brings wisdom. Age is just a number
She's well read and accomplished. Not many achieve mastery like she has.
She was definitely my best part of today. God bless her.
And I think an important part of your country's road to recovery.
What a breath of fresh air after four years of rancid lies.
Mine was Bidens oath, then Lengends song then her poem.Over all a beautiful celebration.
Of all the media interviews of this delightful and inspiring poet, this one by Anderson Cooper is the most insightful and worth watching more than just once!
This woman is so powerful she turned one of the world's most well-respected journalists into fanboy. I can't wait to see what she does next.
Definitely
She did it without even trying.
OMG... Yaaasssss! I have never seen or heard Anderson stutter, stumble or be at a loss for words. They were both brilliant in this interview.
Ugly
Biden needs glasses 👓 speak up and poor the crazy ladie pelossi la loca
Wow. People being kind and respectful to each other. Missed that for the last 4 years.
@Brooke Baldvag we know that he is a gay, he never hide it
She is by far one of the most articulate people I’ve ever heard, and she was raised by a single mother! That lady did a hell of a job! Amazing mother and daughter
Yes I agree, her mother is a school teacher. She's an awesome young lady. I saw the interview last night and was just in awww..you don't run into many people like this young lady during a lifetime.
She is a fraternal twin.
Single mother doesn’t mean she didn’t have a village of support
True words
Absolutely! She has a presence about her that stole the show.
“Hope isn’t something we ask of others it’s something we have to demand from ourselves “ wow
nice racist speech
Your response is slander. What is more, it is an incoherent, thoughtless response. For how are the words "Hope isn't something we ask of others it's something we have to demand of ourselves" a racist speech? What race does "hope" identify with? The words state that you cannot ask others to make you feel hope any more then you can ask others to make you feel angry. You have to feel it yourself. There is a lot of empowerment in that realization, that WE have hope as long as we kindle it in our own hearts. That is a powerful message that can inspire a lot of people when we NEED hope. There is nothing in those words that is racist. Maybe you need to close your eyes and listen to the words and stop focusing on what you think the person's intentions are when she says those words. Because your instant rejection of her words suggest your "racism" comment is pure projection. And we can choose to put hope into our hearts instant of racism. You can choose this too, hope is much healthier for your heart then the hate you just displayed. It feels nicer too, to have hope instead of hate.
If you truly feel that there was an element of racism in her speech please feel free to quote that line to me and explain how you view it as racist. Aren't you bored with making thoughtless comments? Try actually engaging with me in a debate, and prove you are brighter then your first response indicates.
@@whimsysmith2835 Please, ignore the horse's ass - just saying!
This Harvard Grad, 2020, Amanda Gorman simply amazing! What a future she has in front of her!!! She is a beautiful soul!!
Like my grandma would say, " she's got an old soul, she's been here before"💕💕💕💕💕
Lovely words 😩😍
Yeh...not her 1st rodeo
yup, i feel it and see it too.
I was watching her. Her eyes. Her eyes. The eyes are a window to the soul. Looking into her eyes, I could see her soul. She IS an Old Soul. the most amazing shine emanates from her. What i would give to feel her presence. I could almost feel it through her eyes...
@@jomama55ful you have written words poems are made of, just saying. 😄
It is not only the words she says, it's the confidence and knowingness she displays in reciting them. She has perfectly captured this moment in time.
Whatever
@@wesss365 Jealousy and inadequacy is a total b....!
She did, it was like listening to Maya.
@@patriciabarnes7034 I’m not jealous of shit I have a good paying job with stability and 401k and insurance it’s actual normal for hard working Americans to despise people that don’t contribute
@@wesss365 all that you got and you still wretchedly unhappy. not all money is good money.
She is eloquent, articulate, brilliant a down right shining star..go on Amanda let God continue guide you in all you do. Blessings to you.
Just listening to her speak is such a gift. She’s so eloquent and her words are so powerful. I’m in total awe of this beautiful young lady. ❤️❤️❤️
Easily impressed by very little.
Says every Simp
“A nation that isn’t broken but simply unfinished”.
Powerful 🙌🏽

yes siree
only thing finished is Trump (sorry I couldn't resist lol)
Amazing depiction
Very, amazing arrangement of words and thoughts.
Don’t see Anderson in awe like that too often. She is a very beautiful and bright young lady. Her skin is flawless.
So is her soul,truly...
Black don't crack or something
@@Knightfall182 ??
Awww!
Anderson was in awe ❤
She moved me to tear. Made me want to sing, pray, cry and say AMEN
Love the expressions of her eyes, her lips , and hands , they move in harmony. Awesome !!
"Words Matter!" FANTASTIC JOB...Amanda Gorman! "There's always light if you can be brave enough to See it, if you can be brave enough to Be it!"
👏👏👏👏👏
That just made me tear up and I’m a grown ass man ✊🏽💪🏾
"I want to reclaim words and language that has been so violated and abused."
This young woman is amazing. God continue to bless this child
Yes, because she’s got her own 😊!
She is 23, so not exactly a child, but I agree that she should be blessed.
this has literaly nothing to do with god. she has great parents, family and friends to reach her full potential.
Amanda Gorman for president in 2036!!!!!!
Amen amen 🙏🏾
From Ireland, America is back. Thank God. We wish you well.

A wonderful young poet! She is giving the whole world hope.
She did you said it right.
That's right. After all these years of endless barrage of empty noise, in one fell swoop, she managed to put my mind at rest and allow me to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Thank you, Amanda Gorman!
She spoke with such authority, feeling and honesty. We needed her at the Capitol today.
Fresh generation of youth, the future, in foil contrast to the old hands of Washington, e.g. Biden.
Watching Anderson just mesmerized by her is priceless. She’s something special and the light that we needed during these perilous times.
💯💯💯
I was truly moved when she said she overcame a speech pathology.
Cooper is no slouch when it comes to writing. He wrote a very moving tribute for his mother, Gloria Vanderbilt, after her death.
Soar higher, Amanda.
With love from Ghana 🇬🇭 West Africa 🌍
I was nowhere near as poised at 22 as she is. What a remarkable young woman.
I’m still not and I’m nearly 40! 🤣
Know your power. Read more books about the things that you need. You'll be great one day. ^-^
@Akbar Al-Riyadhi you were? Why did you stop? I mean having a routine of learning daily is another key. I hope you'll continue :((
I was a knuckle head and not a good listener no common sense

This young woman restores my faith in humanity. *Overjoyed*
and you will not destroy this faith...btw i report your insult, be careful, youtube is quick with suspending racists.
@Mick Wilson and the ground opened and swallowed you
@@ela-bi3ws Thank you! 🤗🤗🤗
@@anthonypepe5843 Bravo! We must squelch evil in all it's forms.
@@ela-bi3ws So grateful you reported it. Don't know what it said, thanks to you, but I know the intent. And you know, anyone who'll jump in on a comment like what's on this video, is a hater to the core.
How could anyone not recognize HER brilliance?
Keep reporting people! WE have to reclaim America for ALL our citizens. G-d bless you ela. 🕊
She speaks so eloquently, she's THIS era's Maya Angelou, and a delight to listen to!!
My thoughts exactly.
So true
Just as long she's not into swirling like Maya Angelou, she'll be better.
You nailed it, she expresses herself so beautifully.
Yes! A future Maya Angelo and beyond, Very impressive,
I live in NZ, what an amazing young woman, I hope all young black women like her can be given an opportunity to speak their wisdom, their knowledge and show their talents.
There are so many black girls that are talented just like Amanda Gorman. They just need opportunities to flourish and show the beauty of the world to us. Just like the great athlete. Amanda Gorman is the Michael Jordan of Poetry. Let’s all Unit somehow someway get along together and leave a better world for future generations.
So true 👍
Some are even better, not taking anything from this spectacular young lady.
*unite
I agree....so many people need the opportunity to showcase their individual talents. Not necessarily on the public stage like this young lady....but an opportunity none the less
This lady had a very supportive and inventive mother which many of our talented lack. Having a strong grass root arts program in her community has played a major role in her development. Art programs seems to be first on the table in budget cuts in many communities.
@@carolyntempleton3253 that’s why it is necessary for our leaders to invest in our communities to empower people. When our young’s are good and talented they benefit more actuator whole world benefit. Great policies bring greater changes. Who knows how many amazing people are out there that can have greater impact.
Anderson almost looked like he was in awe at this intelligent, beautiful young lady who has such grace at such a tender age.
He was.
ALMOST?! HE WAS! HE HAD STARS IN HIS EYES! i bet he asked for HER autograph afterwards
I was understating when I said that...🤣. It was actually beautiful to watch.
She is amazing.
Didn't know who she was and was overwhelmed.
Same here. She is inspiring.
@@vbs4257 indeed. Started following her on Instagram and will be looking into her more for sure.
@@vbs4257 A beautiful ray of light that came out of nowhere!!
Oh baby! I feel so great! She's a messiah @😂
I’m just happy to see all the happy in the comments today!
If ever I feel downhearted and bereft of hope, I think of this young woman and my heart is warmed. And, my faith in the future is restored. For more reasons that I can count. You go, girl....
When Anderson just sat there, thunderstruck. Same man, same.
Like he took it in the As....
@Richard Pierpoint What cooper does every night.
@@willywonka5394 Anderson Cooper may be gay, but he acts more hetrosexual than lot of men on t.v. and women seem to like him and openly flirt with him.
@@bohwe43 Obviously ,because women see gay men as their equals and deem them no threat .
@@willywonka5394 George Michael said that women would sleep with him, knowing that he was gay, but they felt safe with him, because he didn't want anything from them. In my opinion, maybe it's I can flirt with a gay man that's showing me attention, but the thought of sex really doesn't come to play because it's not going to happen. Like , let's see how far it will go.
WOW, after the last 4 years I had forgotten we have Americans this articulate, especially from such a young, beautiful woman! 😃🇺🇸
right, I'm used to the pure hate, harassment and degradation of other humans
Yes! She was just born yesterday!
@Richard Reveles WTF are you trying to say? Name anyone Trump had during his 4 years that actually spoke as well, like all his Press Secretaries or Acting Cabinet Members🤣
@@patunderhill35 Gorka!
yeah there wasnt much articulate speech happening during the summer of love riots, that's true. i wonder where this young lady was during all of that?
Amanda's prose made me weep, angry, resilient, and powerful.
I love her.
Be American!
Our American family.
@@andreaperry938 we're all family really Andrea. Nations are constructs. Humanity right now cannot & in the foreseeable future leave Earth & successful continue as a species. Basically, we're all in this together. Few bad actors, is true, but if Humanity doesn't get it stuff that it knows together, albeit through politics or whatever alot of humans will die this century needlessly.
"You're awesome" so accurate and cute he said it!
God i absolutely adore this girl and her aura. She is something special
Women, sir !!!
Aura????? 🤔
Simp
When she speaks in a normal conversation, it sounds like she's still reading a poem...she's got talent.
Yes, A Gifted young lady...I just love her.
#fakenews
Indeed. Just in conversation with Anderson, “ Hope isn’t something we demand from others, it is something we find within ourselves.” Beautiful.
That's how I order my pizza
She's a freestyler
She’s 22?! Unbelievable! So much talent, so much maturity!
dead ass, stop being so racist.
compared with 20-30 somethings. when I was 23 I had started a family and a business.

Is somebody also crying like me as they listen to this precious 💎?
yes, i was deeply touched from this angel
I just can’t stop crying. This Angel here is a God send. Everything about her is refreshing. ❤️❤️❤️
I totally agree with you. Her beautiful soul and energy shines throughout her so strongly!
YEAH IT WORKED IT'S SPELL FOR A FEW MINUTES AND THEN I CAME BACK TO REALITY...HOW ABOUT YOU, IT'S BEEN 3 HOURS... ARE YOU STILL UNDER THE SPELL??
Good evening beautiful Queen, and happy new year
The way she emotes with her hands is just...beautiful. I don't even like poetry but I know an artist when I see and hear one. She's an inspiration and an amazing example of the beauty America is still capable of creating.
I don't like poetry either.... But this lady blew me awat
"Being American is more than a pride we inherit, it's the past we step into, and how we repair it."
That shook me.
We need to own the past and decide who we are going to be going forward in America! 💙💟❤️💙💟❤️🤔🤔🤔Bold Action
Yes, let's work hard. We can be the light...her message.
Incredibly beautiful
That part was deep and so good.
Just amazing, Wow! Just when you think that all hope is lost someone like Amanda Gorman arises.
Wow. This lady, Amanda Gorman, has such an amazing understanding of empathy, language, communication.
I could hear this young artist speaking ALL day & never get tired, she is smart, very well spoken, eloquent, simply BRILLIANT. It's people like her that gives all of us that ray of sun shine in the darkest tempest. See U on 2036!
She reminds me of Maya Angelou with her own twist. Maya is looking down at with her great smile.
well said !
@Brooke Baldvag and that’s okay! He is a good man!
@Brooke Baldvag 🌈 yay! 🌈
I as well. Total bliss hearing her speak. She is a gift to humanity.
this young women is a treasure her voice , her poem, her charisma she will be someone very important in the future , she made me cry
I cried too
I’m still fangirling...
Im crying too!!! Phenomenal Woman
Me too!
Me too, with tears of joy!
The contrast between Anderson, very white with his hair, and Amanda Gorman, darker tones beautiful lady, is great. As we all can see, they are both nice people so human. I love them both.
Amanda Gorman's mantra, "I'm the daughter of Black writers..we are descended from freedom fighters who broke their chains and changed the world. They call me."💯💯💯💯💯💯💯❤️❤️❤️❤️
Beautiful read and presented
Powerful!
Amen
I’m so, so glad she decided to add the line “to be it.” It added so much power to an already powerful poem.
I so agree with you. Those last words were powerful. Really inspirational.
She didn't "Steal the Show" the "WAS the show" !!! Amazing
She is a flawless, classy, beautiful, smart, charismatic, talent, well spoken young lady that everyone can relate too. I used to look up to Michele as my role model now Amanda took her place.
She definitely stold the show but with honesty and truth, love her so much words cannot express.
Extraordinary young woman. So composed, so elegant, so articulate. Simply incredible.
Intelligent and Artistic
Not only did she have an amazing delivery, but she was quite literally glowing on that stage. Words cannot describe the beautiful look she has.
SHE IS AMAZING
I think it’s because she’s beautiful inside.
brown skin poppin 😍😭
Outstanding young woman who made such an impression on everyone even Anderson Cooper!

Amen! Absolutely! Well done Amanda Gorman 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽💜
Down here in Australia we’re mind blown, we all need to stop electing old white men and start using these amazing young people who understand more than most people twice their age 💯
You must be so damn proud of this beautiful strong woman 🥰
@@lanaconin5704 yes we are, and it is so relieving to be proud again, instead of ashamed, and telling everyone "I'm a Canadian....", or, "I'm so sorry my crap got all over your world."

She is so Talented and Confident.
She practiced and practiced to overcome her "R"
So glad my 14 yr. Old and 9 yr. Old got to see.this.
We needed to hear that
Thank you Dr. Jill Biden for inviting her.
What's the R?

This is the most Anderson has smiled in 20 years.

This young woman did a phenomenal job. What an inspiring poem.
Intelligence and eloquence. I hope she studies some relevant subject and runs for senate/ presidency one day. The future is bright if there are many more like her.
She had me in tears. Her words were so on point for this time in history.

Someday she’ll be tucked into APUSH textbooks the way Langston Hughes and Jimi Hendrix are.
Definitely, intelligence it's not about ethnicity, races or colors; it is a privilege the way you see 👀 your self and the world 🌎. Congratulations 👏 Amanda Gorman, I'm really proud of you.

I appreciate the kindness and compliment intended in this statement. However; it think it does both of them a disservice. They are Unique, Empowered, Brilliant, and Powerful, Phenomenal Women - Amanda does not step into Maya's shoes, but also walks along a writer's path, forging her own way. I dare to guess that Dr. Angelou would have embraced this amazing poet and blessed her with all manner of wisdom and encouragement. I pray we can do that in her absence.

No we don't. You don't speak for 75+ million Americans that hate the hypocrisy of the left and this little brain washed puppet "poet" that conveniently forget the hate and violence of the left with riots etc
We remember tho...
@@DAMillich-lg9mz so much hate, lifes what YOU make it too you know. Not much has changed in my 50 years, we work, we get paid, we try and save to buy little luxuries, we struggle. In many ways, that's life. Trump lowered taxes for the wealthy didn't he, that's helpful but not enough. Doesn't help the poor though does it. And wall is just a massive waste of money and a disgrace to be honest. Good immigration policies fixes it, how many other countries are building border walls costing billions, we all have illegal immigrants and legal immigrants to deal with. Sigh go to 'thedonald.win' and do not pass go. Peace
"The power of words has been violated and misappropriated" in the last 4 years - so incisive. I love how she describes transforming the buzz on Twitter into poetry for the people, capturing the zeitgeist so beautifully. Brava, Ms. Gorman, I look forward to hearing more from you, as we agree with you that "words matter".
We've heard ten thousand poisonous lies and more
strong enough for hatred and war
We know, God knows, this is not America!

Who could not love her & her energy!! I see a lot of people dislike this but why?? She speaks from her heart & speaks the truth. God bless this young lady!! She is well spoken & makes me proud of the color I'm in.👏👍🥰✊
