June 28, 1963 - President John F. Kennedy's Address Before the Irish Parliament in Dublin, Ireland

[@Aquablue33]

Ireland and America forever.......

[@vannjunkin8041]

Forever indeed.

[@funkymonkey299]

I could listen to him speak all day. Truly remarkable president. He was so brutally murdered, it's so unfair.

[@richardrodrigues783]

Funky Monkey We all do not want to fundamentally change! So the world continues to be the same! He had more enemies in the USA than anywhere else.

[@michladd24]

I was born in 1979 and I feel like I have been personally robbed for something. I don't know what I have been robbed of, but I feel like I have been robbed. Is there a police station that will take my statement? I am not joking about this question.

[@clc-gl4jn]

Legit was thinking the same exact thing as I read this even if it was commented 5 years ago lol. Love JFK 🇺🇲

[@uhohjrama]

He wanted the American people to have true freedom and public electric utilities so he had to die. Equal rights for all races and women. He wanted to increase funding for NASA and decrease funding for defense dept. He believed that the journey to space would produce the systems of peace.

[@harvestusher1938]

So knowledgeable and gifted to be able to speak without a TelePrompter.He is able to speak without looking at the written message every (5) seconds.What a great president the world lost and the U.S of A.

[@mattsavage2455]

harvest usher he was known to be a speed reader. Due to illness he spent a lot of his childhood in bed and had nothing better to do than read, thus he developed a special skill. There are theories that he was dyslexic, which to some extent I believe. I think quite clearly Robert Kennedy was.

[@MrLovenow]

His speeches are remarkable...no prompters.

[@darrenmanska]

Lots of suffering had to happen to get to that point. Kennedy captured it perfectly. As an Irishman I could not be more proud. Pound for pound, Ireland is one of the greatest countries in the world in terms of its influence in culture and its symbol of earned freedom. And props to Kennedy for making that speech because it was a big finger to all the major powers but he did it anyway because it was good and right. Hats off to you sir.

A knowledge of history gives one the sincere ability to charm one's audience

[@mattsavage2455]

ED d now everyone who’s watched this video can charm audiences

[@carlamoss1227]

I wish I was born back then I wish I could have met him face to face

[@dennisnelson840]

And if You Had Met Him in My Opinion, You Would Have Been Meeting A Man Who Clearly Had A "Air Of Greatness" About Him.

[@thankgodjustice9550]

I love you forever president Kennedy

[@damienbaken6390]

Me too.

[@lyndatrones1787]

I love EVERYTHING about this fine man and I ALWAYS will. 💔

[@robertpirsig5011]

The last time the Dail had full attendance.

[@rkavan8663]

This bit is missing from this video sadly: "This has never been a rich or powerful country, and yet, since earliest times, its influence on the world has been rich and powerful. No larger nation did more to keep Christianity and Western culture alive in their darkest centuries. No larger nation did more to spark the cause of independence in America, indeed, around the world. And no larger nation has ever provided the world with more literary and artistic genius. "

[@darrenmanska]

Well said.

[@redjirachi1]

This was definitely personal for JFK

[@seancurtain5285]

In this speech J.F.K. mentions the Battle of Gettysburg - the most decisive battle on the American War. This war reunited the American nation which had been divided when the Southern states seceded from the Union. The assembly that J.F.K. addressed was the Dáil in Dublin, which has jurisdiction over only 5/6 of the Irish nation because the Partition imposed by Britain in 1920 separated 6 of Ireland's northern counties from the rest of that small nation.

June 28th, 1963...the day I was born.

[@lindadincecco3631]

He was the best

[@theeggtimertictic1136]

I seem to have aquired the printed programme from this dail sitting in my local recycle centre today! I love recycle centres ❤

[@MapleSyrupPoet]

And not to difficult to lead a nation...you lead by the content of your character 👏 ...be yourself as President

[@eamoman651]

If Kennedy could only see what has been done in the world today how truly appalled he would be..

[@becton98]

eamoman651 most peaceful and prosperous era in human history

[@failedguy1018]

becton98 you do know the cold war was in full swing at the time?

[@booperpotpie9634]

Most wars and many other catastrophes were caused by the very people Jack warned us about. They've been at it for centuries apparently. Our history books lie, perhaps not about everything, but so much that man's perception of our world is skewed from reality. Intentionally done to keep the public complacent and ignorant. The veil is lifting, but if we do not do the right and moral thing now, our children will perish in darkness. The past year has proved that this fight is to the finish. We are sadly reaching the precipice. Falling to your death or learning to fly are our only options.

[@WhiteCamry]

Kennedy had his battles mixed up. The Battle of Antietam/Sharpsburg was was fought in Maryland.on September 17 (not 13), 1862. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Antietam The Battle of Fredericksburg was fought in Virginia on December 11-15, 1862. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Fredericksburg What's more, at Fredericksburg the Irish Brigade assaulted a Confederate position defended by Col. Robert McMillan's 24th Georgia Infantry (an all-Irish regiment.)

[@TrueNovice]

WhiteCamry That ruins the speech for me.

[@22grena]

+TrueNovice Bugger off you loyalist tosser. dng

[@metalgearsolidsnake6978]

+TrueNovice hehe? Some snakegearsolid?

[@TheLaurel1971]

And he kept his pledge made here re nuclear treaty. He said what he meant.

[@mattsavage2455]

TheLaurel1971 a quality missing in today’s Oval Office

[@seanmaher3518]

My 2nd great uncle served in the Irish parliament at the time.

[@mimma6992]

World would be better with Kennedy Brothers.

[@curraghman11]

That even 3 idiots have given this the thumbs down is beyond comprehension.

[@22grena]

+curraghman11 It's what loyalists do

[@rob0576a]

His assassination was a true tragedy

[@kieran3389]

Robert Williams his own country killed him

[@wendylee9779]

Yes, it would’ve been. He wanted peace with the Soviet Union & also Cuba & the rogue agents of the CIA - & the FBI - wouldn’t let that happen. So he was hit & Oswald was set up, both for the President & police J.D. Tippit. But. In 1963, all that the government & the media spewed out - we believed. Such a tragedy, which literally stopped the World during that weekend.

[@eduardjozefgregor5103]

Áno - pre obyčajných ľudí .

[@javiervalverde2374]

@Razor Mouth☘️ Yes I think Trump was being careful. Perhaps he was warned. I found recently that the is a curse done by an Indian chief in 1840 against all Presidents that are inaugurated on a year ending in zero. Lincoln, Garfield, McKinley, Harding, Roosevelt and Kennedy either were assassinated or died in office. Reagan almost died and Bush Jr. was part of the Deep State so no attempts on his life. Maybe Trump was told to let Biden be President so he could save his life

[@javiervalverde2374]

@Razor Mouth☘️ The Indian chief gave the curse to William Henry Harrison in 1840 because of his taking of Indian land. Harrison died in office 30 days later.

[@eannnna81]

To be not a child who is sad but a man of anger

[@johnnyhaggins8222]

A great man who gave it all

[@jayflavin9076]

President Kennedy, an Irish Treasure :)

[@brianocallaghan7172]

no one could deny but that this statesman had vision.his ability to atriculate this vision drawing so often as he did on literary figures many of them irish joyce,yeats and others made his public utterances beguiling and enchanting.his ability to stand tall and deliver his speeches with such gravitas and authority made him a compelling statesman to listen to.small wonder that where ever he went and whenever he spoke one could hear a pin drop.very few public figures of his time or other times would ever again have such a mesmerizing effect on those lucky enough to hear him speak.small wonder that the english speaking world still laments his passing and misses his great vision.we should be so lucky that at heart he really was one of us

[@CaliPatriot88]

The Battle of Fredricksburg took place in Virginia, not Maryland. Can't believe his speech writer screwed that up :/

[@kellymcmillin5053]

month too...Fredericksburg was December

[@carlamoss1227]

he's is a good looking president

[@kevinarmullen5103]

What if.....................

[@buzz17]

If only people knew the history behind his middle name. He’s speaking in the house that the Fitzgerald’s built.

[@gerardnolan2939]

He made reference to that fact in his speech, he said something like he was not coming to reclaim if.

[@MapleSyrupPoet]

The political system your children need to inherit, is the one to maintain, the most freedom

[@metalgearsolidsnake6978]

he died a couple months later...

[@Jim-jx5ds]

Within four months of this speech dulles and his crew pulled off their hit.

[@TWOCOWS1]

Reminder of a time when we were civil, educated and urbane. Look at senile Joe and luny Trump to see how far we have fallen from when we had leaders like JFK and R Reagan
