- The Arizona Congresswoman is still recovering from an assassination attempt that killed six others in January 2011. She and her husband, retired astronaut Mark Kelly, talked to CBS News’ Lee Cowan about their life today, her recovery, and their future.
I can't even imagine how frustrating it must be not to be able fully articulate what you're thinking. I find it frustrating when I mistype while posting comments or sending texts. Gabby truly is an inspiration.
Amen
though:
*mistype
You mistyped mistype....
How ironical
@@xl000 *how ironic
Well what happened to Gabby is what the US government does to innocent civilians in the middle east every single day so that the military industrial complex profits off of it.
No war, no business.
I've been a nurse for 40 years and there is NO WAY anyone could fake this level of disability. The negative comments speak to the soul sickness of the writers, I feel so bad for you, She is amazing, and I prefer to focus on that.
Im a nurse so i am a brain surgeon..... riiight
Echad Lev Shtim You’re not smart, are you?
Anyone who claims she is faking is paranoid. Sure, she has been used as a poster woman for partisan issues, which I am not commenting about whether I support that or not, but for Christ's sake she was shot in the brain! Is it such a stretch of the imagination for these people that a woman who nearly died of a head wound is now severely disabled and has made miraculous strides to even get back to this level of ability as it is?
Your an idiot! Sorry!
Karen, then you've been a murderer for 40 yrs then! Congrats. Makes sense that you are a big time liar too.
She's aged like wine. They're such an adorable couple.
Sweet woman. Such a shame what happened to her. I'm glad to see she's recovering well.
Driven, "she" is he and a total fraud. Pay attention before making more stupid comments.
M Lav you must be proud to be a pathetic subhuman
M Lav Try again when you grow a brain cell or two.🙄
@S. Labouisse for someone who got shot in the brain. Yes!
She is lucky to have her life. Glass half full. ❤️
I can't believe how cruel and heartless the comments here are, simply because of her political views. This is a human being with opinions, she shouldn't be treated like some animal that needed put down. She is making amazing progress, keep it up Gabby! Very inspiring woman...
You are just don't want to face the facts about gun violence in America, doesn't mean this woman is faking it.
you haven't looked at the evidence - she is a faker and a liar
I think Vandj is pissed
+zat anna lol everything is a conspiracy to these idiots, so, yeah a little
I don't think hes faking anything she got shot and she is very lucky to be able to speak again. Getting annoyed at Frank Hughes is not gonna change his mind tho.
Here today after Mark Kelly just won Arizona
@Nada Davis nope
you all prolly dont care but does someone know of a trick to log back into an instagram account??
I was dumb forgot the login password. I would love any assistance you can give me!
@Nolan Nova instablaster :)
Wow
Gabby Gifford speaks not only for those affected by Gun Violence but for those who live daily with a brain injury. She's my hero - she's trying to speak and not allowing aphasia or other speech difficulties stop her. For almost 5 years I have lived with 4 injured areas - my speech is slow, I have a hard time getting my words out and this gives me - others as well.
It's not a fake brain injury - you are ignorant
*****
I wasn't referring to the Gabbie Giffords shooting, but to the original commenter that said she had a brain injury and then you tell her to go take "critical thinking supplement".
Where is your critical thinking? What was the specific manufacturer of the bullet? There are many different types of hollow points and I doubt you have even tested one-tenth of them at the same distance of the shooting. Furthermore, I see no evidence that hollow points were even used. Apparently Walmart doesn't even sell hollowpoints.
Evad Sel she was shot by a nutjob that never should have access to gun to begin with.
Mowac do you have a brain injury? I'm gonna guess No. As a brain injury survivor - fuck off on shit you know nothing about Troll.
No such thing as gun violence, just human violence. Die IRL for daring to be "One of those people".
She's beautiful her husband is a STRONG LOVING MAN !!
He's her handler, not her husband.
@@gregterkanian5158 he’s her husband.
Yes! Her husband will make an amazing senator!
@@gregterkanian5158 What a heartless comment. Even if you don’t like her you shouldn’t show so much disrespect to someone’s near-death experience.
@@kylebolton8147 I don't dislike her. I don't know her. I just know what acting (poorly done) looks like when I see it. This was nothing more than a staged event for the gun control platform. I'm sorry you don't see it.
I would love to ask the conspiracy nuts, exactly how should a person with a brain injury act? Also how would you even know she was faking it? Lastly, what qualifications do you posses that gives you the expertise to speak on this? I am curious.
I agree. I live 1 mile from where she and the others were shot, I remember the traffic jam that went on all day long around that intersection, I remember the news spreading in the neighborhood like wildfire even before it hit the news media. I know people who were shot or had family who were shot. I work in mental health, and everything about Gabby in this video is consistent with the kind of brain injury she has. She is a local hero. She always had a rather high voice. Half of her brain works completely normally, including the half that runs her emotions and personality. The nuts you refer to call people sheep and tell us to do research. It is ridiculous. What is their proof, and what credibility to they have? Conspiracy theorists are delusional, and their "proof" never holds water. Just like all delusions, the logic skips the track at some point, but the person with the delusion never comprehends that. The process of delusions is a bigger mystery than the effects of traumatic brain injury. It saddens me to see her and her husband so disrespected.
SuperChuckie34 Common sence.
Dem/Rep Delusion yeah. It doesn't give us a lot of confidence when you misspell sense.
Dem/Rep Delusion you really came thru on that one
@@EchadLevShtim You only wrote 2 words, and yet, 1 of them is misspelled. It's "sense", not "sence". Where was your common sense when you wrote that comment, exactly? You've presented no argument, and your credibility is nil.
Remarkable.
Such sorrow for what happened to her.
"Better, stronger, tougher."
Maybe, but there's no way she could ever be nicer! This is a truly good woman, with kindness and understanding in her soul. I know it's been a long road, but she's still getting better everyday. I wish her and her husband all the best, and good luck in the upcoming election!

Your blue wave will turn blood red in November,.......again.
Det. Frank Drebin Wrong. The left has a lot of enthusiasm about getting trump out of the white house
@@cubinghuskies7449 TRUMP 2020! !
She has got to be the most inspirational person ever!!! What an amazing person. I hope she continues to recover and inspire!!!
The respect I have for these two are unbelievable!!! ❤💙💚💛💜
I know right ? People on here make me feel sick. Idiotic conspiracy theorists. They all need to get a life.
I never knew just how courageous and inspirational she is. I look at my life differently now.

Who is watching this in 2020 as mark kelly is running for senate?
He won!
I'm here after he WON his senate seat!
@@zacharykinsella4871 indeed he did ^_^
@@TheRenwmn yes and i'm PROUD of him for beating the crap out of Martha McSally!
HE WON
Really wish some of these commenters would stick to building their fallout shelters and stay off the grid.
+Ronny Vatalaro No because in another video she could barely put two words together . IN OCT of 2014 after this video. She must apparently have memory problems cause she can't remember how much she can or can not speak.
+Ronny Vatalaro Tell me, when was the last time someone survived a brain injury that went from the back of their head all the way through to the front out above the eye? I was under the impression that the only gunshot would to the brain that you could survive would go through the pre-frontal cortex?
Aldous Huxley en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phineas_Gage I suppose this is a conspiracy from the anti-train lobby?
***** Whoa someone with the SAME NAME? there's your smoking gun right there. You FINALLY caught Obama.
Ronny Vatalaro That link is to a pre-frontal cortex injury. Not from the back of the brain to the front like in Giffords case.
These service dogs are incredible. Nelson was looking intently at the reporter, turned away from Gabby. She hadn’t even gotten to the ‘choo’ part of ‘ah-choo’ when he immediately went to fetch the tissues.
She's so admirable.. I'm from the different side of the globe but I'm so inspired by her courage, toughness and compassion ❤
this is so heartbreaking to watch😢. I saw this on the news when I was 20, and didnt think she would make it through. but she gradually did. I didnt know much about her before this tragedy. However, she has been an inspiration to me since.
"It ain't about how hard ya hit. It's about: How hard you can GET hit and keep moving forward." Rocky Balboa
i was in first grade when she was shot in my town. I remember the terror and sadness and my dad telling me about what had happened. we learned about her and her husband in school and about what they did and have done. people who are saying shes faking have never been in that position of terror.
You're a shorty shorty❣️
This is an amazing person. I love them both for the beauty within... Mark and Gabby.. You deserve the happiness you found. You go!!!
She is so sweet! I’m thankful I was able to meet her before this terrible incident. ❤️
Hello 👋 how are you doing?
I met this tough woman a few years ago and man she left me in awe juts how strong she came out of this literally speechless glad i got the chance to even speak with her for a few minutes
I bet you wouldn't be saying that she was faking it if she was a Republican.
Everything that makes Republicans look bad is fake, didn't you know?
@@MollyFC Which is exactly why the Republican party itself is fake.
She is still so amazingly beautiful. God bless her and there journey together.
Timmy Agnew she's so amazing she supported a war based on lies that killed millions
@@Spark-In-The-Dark and she is not a she at all; a lying fraudster! Check brow ridge, long arms, thick wrists; born a man but pretends to be a woman. Once a liar, always a liar.
@@mlav6083 Can you point me to any good videos on that subject? I just discovered her case (I'm not an American) and there seems to be more to the story...
for everyone's sake don't go further down in the comments, your sanity will be challenged
Thank you for the warning
who ever thinks this is fake is cold. look into it. God bless you Gabby
+atnotthiolnoy1 i did look into it, and she is a lying bitch!
+atnotthiolnoy1 Fake ASS SHIT.
+Ryan Ehlis yup, they even threw a fake dead kid in the story to to really tug at the heartstrings.
+Mike Frost thank you!
Tough woman. I admire her so much.
A lot of these comments are sad and frightening. I really fear for the future of this country.
2021.....Non-white hate crimes left and right...
You were absolutely right to be scared.... :/
Thank you Gabby & Scott. You two are such inspirations to everyone! 🙂
WittCorp Mark! Scott is her brother-in-law.
@@sheilas1283 Yes! I got them mixed up! I meant Gabby & Mark. 🙂
Yep,...they are such an inspiration for FAKING being shot as propaganda for gun control.
Mark Kelly just won the congress seat :)
She seems like a lovely woman. May God richly bless her and her husband with a long and love filled life.
I think that she has come a long way since being injured. I think that she is a very strong and determined woman. I think that she can help other people with injuries or disabilities to realize how far they can go in life
Tough woman. So much respect and admiration for her. So amazing.
Ugh. What a beautiful soul. I couldn't stop myself from tearing up.
I love you Gabby Giffords.
Truly amazing and inspirational. I wish her and her husband all the very best
I'm so happy to see her recover to such a state. This makes me believe in humanity through her resistance to those who wish to bring others down.
some seriously sick people posting here.
This woman is so strong and blessed a overcomer who showed me how to keep the faith and fighting in a test and trial.
wow she really is a special women
Do you mean WOMAN?
+franco3830 wow man, I just wonder what somebody must've done to you and all the others whacko conspiracy theorists out there to make you disbelieve something you can see with your own eyes. It happened and everyone saw it. Not that anything I say will make you believe any different. But your argument that all this is a plan to take our guns away is ludicrous on the face of it. Did you not see the part where they are both gun owners? In fact, I've read their book and they're both quite clear that their aim is not to restrict gun ownership for sane, law-abiding citizens. If you can't get on board with that, then you're beyond any help I can give you.
What a wonderful story and such beautiful couple. I send prayers and blessings for both 💖
Just wonderful people. Bless them both best of luck
What a sweetheart.
People disliked this video? I guess some people enjoyed seeing others getting hurt and being defenseless .
Or just don't like bad acting.
Hoax
You are a warrior! God bless you and your amazing relationship with you r husband! Your service dog is also just so amazing.
That’s so much love. Some kind of love. Bless them both
I was getting my nails done for my high school formal in the same shopping complex when this happened. The scariest thing I’ve ever been through/seen. I love them so much.
There are so many people talking about the negative comments that I can't find any of the actual negative comments!
Wow.. Gabby. You have come a long way. I'm so proud of her, the relationship between her and her husband is breath-taking. They have been through so much together. Keep playing your horn.. love, laugh, keep getting better. Keep taking great care of each other. 🥲🥲🥲❤❤❤
Just read about the incident. What incredible recovery she has made
Yes , this women is so amazing I live in Tucson , AZ and she has done so much for AZ and that is why I love her so much ! And she's so sweet omg
Why so many dislikes? This is amazing!
@@nwosfx-weranoutofblood574 have you not figured out the game yet? All divide and conquer. You have fallen for an old trick, so be careful whom you call dumb. There is only ONE Party but several are used to divide the fools. There is also no elections! They are all rigged and if not a transgender, you will not be going anywhere in politics nor any other high profile jobs. Time to detox that brain of yours....if you have one and is debatable at this point.
She gives me strength and courage!!
She gives me diarrhea
I think it's wonderful that she seems to have full comprehension of language. It's a shame she can't find the words. It's scary how much our ability is linked to the physical properties of our brains, and how we can't learn certain things well past a certain age.
Gabby is such an inspiration and so is Mark... they are such heroes. He is so dedicated to her and making her feel normal and like nothing ever happened. She is so strong. They are so strong! 😃
Man...she is so inspiring. 🥲 a true survivor in every way possible
She's very inspirational. A strong fighter.
She's most definitely a fighter. Really incredible stuff.
These two together, are (trying to think of the words) Love. Real Love. What it Truly means, all of it. Huge & fantastic & gosh, I feel it just listening to them. Thank you two for Everything you do. 💞🌏💚🙏💖
Hello 👋 how are you doing?
What an adorable couple. I love Gabby Gifford, she's an inspiration with a generous heart, and Mark Kelly seems like a great husband and all around good guy.
Strong woman! Remarkably beautiful mind. I like her mental toughness. A lot of people would have sunk into a depression.
I meet this lady last night at the fair. Im so lucky!
Btw I live in Tucson too
I don’t agree with her political views but I am glad she lived. Must of been difficult for her husband and herself. He loves her, and her him
Finally, someone with opposing views AND class. You’re a rare breed.
I was so UPSET WHEN THE SHOOTING HAPPENED!! MAD MAD MAD!!!
Nicole, glad to know that you are not upset anymore as you must know that it was a total rig job. Hopefully you have the brain power to figure that out as it seems that many here have not. Now move on to the real problems: fraudsters that are destroying the planet with extreme evil intent.
Just learned that history behind the name that I’ve heard for a decade. I can’t give my thanks for her public service and being the best she can be. We can all learn something from her
Let’s forget about our politics for once and just realize how precious we are as humans and made in the image of God
Agreed. This is heart breaking.
Shes really recovering. Takes a lot for her to produce the words.
What is a Relentless and reluctant individual this woman is God bless her
Gabby, you are Arizona.
Marc, thanks for letting me know about all the liars in Arizona....and fools. I'll avoid the state.
Bless you Gabby
Gabby you are absolutely beautiful!!!!!
What an inspirational woman. Incredible!
Giffords is a fraud,..... Homeland Security utilized her scheduled brain surgery as a chance to stage a fake shooting for gun control.
It's obvious that she did have surgery, it just wasn't for any gun shot.
I love how careful& sensitive the interviewer is!
This is a truly inspirational woman...some of you (I see) don't even have half the strength or intelligence as her. She also has something you know nothing about...a soul.
Christ...even her dog has more heart than most of you.
The underlying anguish here is really heartbreaking.. What a tragic destiny for both her and her husband. I wish them the best of luck. Just have to say..
WOW!!
What a beautiful and remarkable woman!!! God bless her and her husband!!!
What the fuck is wrong with the comments here?! This woman is amazing.
She is absolutely incredible.
dyy Fethiiyhn Okay..... Fucking weird thing to say.
Ryan Ehlis Right, sure. The government goes around staging shootings and paying actors to come out and say they were shot. Jesus, man. A lot of people might think you're crazy, but in truth, you're just stupid.
+ryanspears1986 I wish I could go through life convinced that the horrible events of the world just don't happen
dyy Fethiiyhn You have nothing but insults. Please explain to me the logistics of pulling off a conspiracy on this scale. And what was the point of pulling off something this risky with now real benefit coming from it?
She's doing so much better now. Wow
She is so strong and positive.
Is she always jolly and child-like before? I swear she's such an adorable lady.
Mark Kelly was sworn in as an Arizona Senator today 🥰 Brave and genuine souls
Good for her, remarkable woman.
Amazing. That woman is amazing.
I absolutely love this couple. She is so inspirational. Being a victim of a shooting myself I can tell you it is very hard to come back completely from it. However if anybody can it is Gabby Giffords. What an outstanding beautiful person she is.
But here's the problem,.....you were really shot,......
@@det.frankdrebin668 so you are saying that she did not get shot? we saw it all.
@@cesargarza6984 ...you 'saw it all' where?? Yes, this woman was definitely never shot.
I love this woman. God bless you Gaby..I love you
Her speech is similar to my late grandfathers after his stroke.
Absolutely, she is a Warrior, she fought hard and long to overcome her challengers and she has done an Excellent job. I remembered that day vividly it was a chaotic scene, but God rescued het to return to her people and her loving and caring HUSBAND, who cared for her, helped her, and stood by her side through it all. God bless you Sir. Remind the readers about the Wedding Vows. In sick need and in health, you both made it through, and they you looked at each other the sparkle is stronger than ever. Keep on living each other NO matter what people say. God bless you both, is my prayer.
....she and her husband are confirmed frauds.
This woman is a motivation for me that if this cant keep her down then i cant complain
I was there when she was shot. I was in the safeway when she was shot. its scary to know that I could have died that day.
Congrats on making this all about you...I'm just kidding. I imagine, if that's even possible, that that was an absolutely terrifying experience.
+Mayhem5150 it was. it was very chaotic for everybody there
You may have been in the vicinity of where the drill went on, but you didn't witness anybody get shot that day..being in the area that day does not equate to proof that it happened.
+GuntPulp They're having a sale on tinfoil hats down at Safeway.
you can die any day at any time. That day was no different. Be thankful for the time you're given and respect those around you.
I'm glad she is doing so well and hope she continues to do better. But the truth of the matter is that most all others would never have received the stellar, state of the art care and rehab she received. She is one of the privileged one percent.
Gabby is a truly beautiful person. Mark is a good, solid, brave husband. I put my wish in a prayer to Jesus, that perhaps I could find "my" Gabby" too! I could be so fortunate?
Damn. I have hypertension I got it 6 years ago. It was really bad at first but over the years I barely feel it anymore. Right now I'm not sure I have it anymore but I'ev felt that way before and it's come back.
So this really gives me hope I don't have to worry about it anymore.
Gabby you're an inspiration to us all. God bless you.
......She is a disgrace
I am soooo fucking happy for her❤️ And im really proud of her too❤️
My friend's friend got shot in the head at school last year. Hopefully he will turn out like this too.
jm, you want your friend to turn out to be a lying, Satanic fraudster and sellout to the world? Hmmm, interesting.
What a remarkable woman
Got a lump in my throat and tears welling watching this.
God bless Gabby.
