running for president isn't the answer to everything, sometimes we just have to stay in the lane we were given and we will make more of a difference there, good for you Oprah. 🙌

[@brentduanefoster]

Exactly! Most people don't understand, or can't accept that.

[@hardren101]

oprah has said that stay in your lane statement for years......i pondered this when she gave her powerful speech a few wks ago......i am not sure its a final no at this juncture.....for many years she never seriously gave it much thought but the land scape has changed considerably....most importanltly....for many years mny thought that hillary wld be the first female president.....at this point the only one that still feels clinton has a chance is clinton.....hillary is rap.....she was given given carte blanche...the only taker was sanders.....that is not gonna happen again....she may throw her hat in but there mny men that sat it out for political reasons...but in a match against trump he became the lesser of two evils...scary....oprah is a women n she is also a black women...a well respected women with a est nt/wrt of $3B and name recognition is a heavy hitter....if oprah begins to think its what she was meant do n its part of her destiny.....i think she might begin to think about it differently....she has a thin skin.....she has a hurdle to over come with stedman...if u have no experence in polotics....you will burn out quickly because u r under constant attack frm day one....if the gop even begins to think she will run they will go on the attack....her biggest challenge will be stedman....very different being the signicnt other for a billionare talk show host vs....be the first due of the madam presidant....so if stedman says...this your dream....i have no desire to get on board....i not see oprah leaving stedman cause he wnt support her run...the saga coninoues.

[@roenaskates3879]

Just like a wanna be white girl, I bet you felt blacks should have stayed in their lane during slavery when you were sleeping with the master and his son!

[@kevinmorrison9569]

No because as soon as you run and pick side on abortion for example half the country will hate you. This is very bad for your brand.

[@88mike42]

Maya...Plus she's a race baiting hypocrite. We just got rid of Obama...we don't need the female version of THAT fraud.

[@NM-ke3dt]

oprah, that's exactly what a president should do. Listen and connect!

[@javieroliveras344]

Somebody's gotta do it. Please! We need good politicians!

[@shinski8114]

yeah so lets get oprah in there (a talk show host) smh i wish people like you couldnt vote i honestly do

[@cadehill9174]

Shinski she’s not just a talk show host she’s a motivational speaker and knows what would be good for this country because she is actually nice and reasonable.(unlike trump)

[@raquelcoria7730]

Trump once said he was not interested in being president And now

[@slgleaton375]

Raquel Coria When was this. Trump said in the 80s that he'd run if things got bad enough in this country.

[@themarriedcouple9924]

Correction.....Trump said he'd consider it and that he'd have no choice if it got "so bad"......well, it got bad and now we can breathe! :)

[@xmale75]

Raquel , i have heard what President Trump said. He said he is not necessarily going to run for the presidency but if people like you phaqs up the country then someone has to. Oh by the way i am not an American i am an Asian from Asia.

[@jimdandy_one]

*TRUMP ~ PENCE 2020*

[@diamondyt6819]

The Married Couple I don’t think you exactly know what breathing is then. His presidency has brought more anxiety to my state than any presidency so far.

[@yogosapphire]

With all the talk about KZbin demonetizing videos that might offend advertisers, I have to wonder if I’m the only one who becomes skeptical of a video that’s preceded by an ad saying, “Sponsored by Pfizer.” If I were a content creator on KZbin, I’d probably want some level of control over which advertisers could use my content to promote their poison. 🤨🤔

[@PBALTAZARTX]

We need someone in Washington who listens to the people

[@ridgeglorialukusa3597]

From France we love you

[@rogneid]

CBS, when are you going to add Closed Captioning on a regular basis? It would be greatly appreciated.

[@GZBulletZA]

This is one of those moments when she still has to realise that she is that person. I hope she runs for president.

[@mrstashaleger6085]

She'd have my vote.

[@sethm3856]

I missed the part where she formally said "no, I will not run". I heard her say she wouldn't way before the Golden Globes, but I hadn't heard her confirm 'no' after. Which led me to believe she might be considering it now.

[@mactastic144]

It's 2018. She has more than a year to change her mind.

[@nanaoseitutuadomako-bonsu7880]

Can you guys upload the full 60 minutes sessions (it's episodes) with Oprah as Host.

[@brentduanefoster]

For those of y'all who here saying that God needs to speak to Oprah about 2020, what makes you think that God hasn't done that already, and this is the answer that she got and has accepted? Just because it doesn't look the way that you WANT it to look, that doesn't mean that the divine is not working.

[@Swnsasy]

Brent Foster Amen

[@devinpeirce7152]

Brent Foster no god wants trump

[@Swnsasy]

Johnny You could be right.. Many people believe Satan is a god..

[@dirtydinner2432]

Was the divine working when 17 children were killed for no reason whatsoever? Let’s see the world for what it really is. A horrific place full of greedy people who’s efforts for power will all be ultimately pointless when they are rotting together in the ground.

[@brentduanefoster]

DirtyDinner24 It's easy to blame the divine when tragedies such this recent school shooting occur. But, here's the thing. The divine gave us the ability to make the changes needed to prevent things like this from happening. Some of us, however, chose personal greed over the greater good of many. So, the Divine is not to blame for something that we, as humanity, were given the ability to correct.

[@DeAngeloStevens]

Nice try Boondocks

[@ManuelPabloArnao]

Damn it, Oprah. Just run! Please!!!!!

[@chiroboy126]

This country is in trouble if we are grasping at the ankles of anyone with a moral compass, whether they are qualified or not , to run for president. Why is the answer celebrities? I'm not saying we need more career politicians, but we need to be careful who we choose to hold the most powerful position in the world.

[@Centnl287NAve]

I agree 100 percent

[@chiroboy126]

M W I agree 100% but there are better choices than celebrities. Trump taught us this

[@theycall21]

Thank God! ! And I bet you do have a bunch of wealthy people wanting to run your campaign.... But I still have a feeling she'll do it

[@joshipp761]

Yes, she is a very good communicator.

[@c.pressure1466]

Well she should!!!! We want Oprah Winfrey as 2020 president💅✊

[@allybean8885]

This is exactly why Agent Orange is president voting for phony personas.

[@chandima94]

Thank god, we don't need another celebrity president

[@nicolaablett7790]

like it listener and connector u are amazing at what u do

[@VirtuaFighterRPG]

She dipped her toe in the water, but stepped out when the pictures of her and Harvey Weinstein surfaced. She got a glimpse of evil world of politics and was like "nope"

[@44shipley]

Just shows how desperate the Dems are.

[@kiandevin4855]

pro tip: you can watch movies at flixzone. Me and my gf have been using it for watching all kinds of movies during the lockdown.

[@edisonshepherd9734]

@Kian Devin yup, been using flixzone} for since november myself :)

[@larryalan3078]

@Kian Devin Yup, have been using flixzone} for since november myself =)

[@cadenrolland5250]

Sorry, but that line is current disconnected. If you'd like to make a call, please hang up and try your call again.

[@peterellef4725]

GOOD & SMART!

[@CarlosGomez-jg9tw]

LEADERSHIP. Her GG speech reeked of : self confidence, morality, strength. Probably something missed so much, it ignited the room. She is not weak, she can stand her ground. "She's" a listner", suppose she new nothing about the world she would learn faster than anyone.....making her HOPRAH WINFREY-- and in her soul vessel, mother ship, understanding of the world, she knows she can't say NO. Follow the Mother Ship!

[@Supawoman11]

Yea but oprah we need a president whos a good listener and connector of great ideas!

[@davidmayhew4818]

What about Sally Jesse Raphael!?! Wow!!

[@ridgeglorialukusa3597]

Oprah je t'aime ❤❤❤❤

[@ridgeglorialukusa3597]

She's waiting on God to tell her. Bravooo. Wise person

[@semorgan2088]

Oprah would only run after the ice cream truck.

[@carolynaldridge2453]

That's how we see you too. A lesser person may have let ppl shove em around for whatever reason. But I do see Oprah as a manner of listener and connector in this as she has been in many things. Did not see full show.

[@beejay44]

[@JMG_86]

Democrats 2020: "Yeah ... he got nothin' "

[@MRici]

She was about to find out how much ppl dislike her the same happened to Killory.

[@jkadas2500]

She has a bigger ego than anyone. Running a talk show is one thing. Running a country is one an other. Jender, class and race. The time is up! New day is on the horizont . Change, change, change is coming said Obama. Oh yes, he brouth change, we have to pay for it. New day, New day, New day is coming. It is here, now. You could be a leader, connecter, almost God as humble as you are!!! !

[@ciel222]

I admire her alot , Iam a BIG FAN

[@YtCsBt]

The fundamental problem with leadership today: “If I was considering a run, I would probably take myself out of the role of journalist or conversationalist”. What better way to lead then to not be in touch with the populace..

[@jakeman0x0]

She should run...."you get a car you Get a car" that's how she starts her debate

[@caffeinefree667]

I’m dead inside

[@CHAMBVRS]

wow....this was just very inspiring

[@gabrielgarcia7561]

Just why are we looking for a supernova?.

[@jemohseni]

Love you Oprah!!

[@dorianfurr5303]

I believe you should go for it thats a blessing it will be one of history great accomplishment

[@allybean8885]

A blessing to who?

[@sixsensedayspa]

That's the problem Oprah, you are a good connecter and a good listener and this world needs that, you may thing to be a president is not your DNA but you have what takes to do it. Just saying

[@karengrace4309]

There’s no one I respect or admire more then Oprah , she is a queen among women . Such a wise kind insightful compassionate being . God bless Oprah ❤️

[@marcillioficino4663]

She likes her very comfortable life too much to run for president.

[@olompictia]

She will get her hand dirty with bloods of many people, blamed and cursed for evil that is really hard to end because of her antecedents. I prefer she stays like that, respected by everyone, in all corners of the world.

[@Cardiovasdcular101]

The reason why I posted the 10,000 signed petition was because I was inspired by her and I believe in her that she could beat Trump. Please, RUN!

[@Carnutzjoe]

Maybe being president isn’t in her future, but our future leaders would be well served by listening to Oprah.

[@andrewfrankovic6821]

I am not nor have ever been a fan of Big O, so yes, I am antagonistic, but I think I have figured out what she's really seeking, beyond all the attention, and money and whatever one could have the time to want in any one lifetime. I suspect she has finally come within reach, having built her gold tower where she can stand above all who kneel below, and piddy da queen of piddy. I say, go for it, piddy da foole.

[@lancemorrison8561]

She don't need it,she don't want it. She is way more effective where she is. Love you Oprah! When she has a message, we'll all hear it.

[@alanfreeland8291]

Oprah soon good. Her response to the reporter. Reporter tend to try and put words in the interviewees and speculate gossip. Oprah handled herself, with grace, dignity, and true ADULT professional. What a tactful response to question already answered!!!

[@MrWha-ok4jb]

Yes.... let's have another CELEBRITY president because the first one works.

[@peachimin6595]

OPRAH NEEDS TO RUN FOR PRESIDENT!!!!PLEASE OH PLEASE!!!💖💖💖💖💖💖💖😭She wayyyy kind than Trump!

[@covionye5693]

Oprah, running for president may not be the best choice. Many of us have such high and unrealistic expectations for those occupying office. The moment certain goals aren’t reached according to the personal beliefs of each individual or party, she can become pretty unfavorable immediately. It’s a pretty brutal process and not everyone comes out the same after running. She has built a great legacy. Running for office may Devalue her brands she and others have worked so hard to build.

[@SweetSourGhost]

Run it, not many can be there, do it honor.

[@toriarose]

I think you're far from perfect, Oprah, but I have long admired you and how you've changed the world, especially helped women to heal. That said, I don't know if you should feel so "humbled" by ppl right now thinking you should run for the presidency or that you'd be a good potus. You should really attribute that primarily to, uh, the current potus. People are simply seeing that if someone so incredibly stupid, so totally inadequate in the position (to say the least), and yet he's still there... Um, well, clearly it's opened our eyes in so many ways, but especially that pretty much anyone can be potus. And maybe that enlightenment is a good thing, so more women and minorities who wrongly believe they would be inadequate will now have the confidence to effin' go for it. That's the one good thing about the current nut fest in the WH. It's spurring women to rise up. And that is THE answer.

[@TheHeartOne]

Después de ver todos los comentarios en este vídeo de 60 minutos, tengo que decir una cosa: Si no puedes decir algo bueno de alguien, por favor, no se lo diga a todos. Este es claramente un "a toda la gente estúpida por favor póngase de pie?" Y la mayoría de ustedes seguro lo hizo!

[@mobspeak]

People love to criticize the president but nobody wants to be in the presidents shoes. Heavy lies the crown.

Oh well, you'd been a great President... anyway... but if u dont want it... Its ur choice... and what u feel in ur heart that matters.., Opera, we love u what ever u choose to do ...:)

[@alejandraparker4180]

Peace and blessings. Like I said before...she will be on the ballot. Don' let her fool you. You will see her more and more of her on night shows and wherever she can make the most visibility impact...she is putting her feelers out there to see if she has a win win. SHE IS CHOMPING AT THE BIT. .NEIGH! 2/23/18. 8:04 AM

[@Atrulyblessedguy]

I love Oprah.I honestly believe Oprah has more say so as a journalist/talk show host then if she was going to be President of the United States. I really believe that.Its glad to see that if Oprah was going to run that her campaign would be already funded due to so many people calling her saying they'll have her hooked up financially. Would she be a great President, I would like to think so but I also think the politics chess game would change her and I don't think it'll change her for the good.And I'll would be afraid that the Oprah we have known for years and loved for years would be changed due to the secrets us regular civilians don't always know about from the white house and the behind the scenes stuff.If that makes sense

[@jesseserna8424]

It seems like she didn´t like those questions... BUT i LOVE Oprah :D

[@fgbowen]

Brilliant.

[@zamstudy]

Running for President in America right now is like entering a burning building. If you don't have the skin to take the heat then play another role. There are many other roles that you can safely play from the outside. Trump is slow in fighting the fire ... that's why he is facing a lot of heat. To be honest, to remain standing in a burning building for one year is not bad. Either he works on putting off the fire or the fire consumes him. There is no other option for him. Or he quits ... but I don't think that he is a quitter. I hope he wins against the fire. Let's see ... cannot say anything until he comes into action.

[@cnn-sucks8309]

Please run please!!!!

[@grammajean1327]

I suppose Liberals would see her as a viable candidate. The fact that she is in a relationship with a man to whom she is not married will turn a lot of Christians off. While I admire all that she has accomplished in her life, how can she run a country with Christian principles when she isnot living those principles?

[@alec6583]

Donald Trump was exactly as qualified as Oprah. He's a real estate mogul, she's a television mogul. They're both billionaires. Neither of them have held public office. If you voted for Donald Trump, you would have exactly as much reason to vote for Oprah. The moral of the story is: don't vote for celebrities, please. Take your country more seriously than that.

You know ...Oprah!... it is up to you to fix what has being broken. You know very well that wherever you said in your speech. Was going to be taken politically. And to many of Americans you have given hope wen you spoke. Now you just taking away the best hope there is to fix the mess miss Clinton left by running for president. We are in this mess because of her. There was no better choice ! You must run ! You are millions of people hope!
