He's not the "poorest president" in the world as the western media tries to characterize Pepe Mujica. He's the richest man on earth because he has the love and appreciation of all his people! #GraciasPepe
+goodmood3 Vazquez is good president but not so leftist like mujica ,is a center- left guy. Mujica is unique and sometimes I think we don't deserve it. he is SO humble and authentic. UNIQUE
+AdvancedSoul I dont know how much money he had, but if he lived poor then made money, he would have the perspective of both. though it may still apply even if he has money. Did he have golden statues?
Why isn't this guy a worldwide legend, no one really talks about him because he wants to help the poor! This warmed my heart and gives me hope in humanity
My personal hero. I just heard a person describe the president of El Salvador as having balls. I kept my mouth shut and came to see Murica. The country that raised him must have more to offer the world. I hope. I pray.
As a Uruguayan this man, is changing our country for good and he is listening to the minorities rights, he is a revolutionary and if we want to change the result we can't use the same formula. Politicians try to please people to get voters and he is just the way he is, simple and brutally honest, he reminds the world the importance of freedom and happiness. I am so proud of my country, im really happy
I'm costarrican, I live in what they call the "happiest country" on the world (now we are like third or something). I feel a deep respect for José Mujica, I didn't know about him until now but now that I've been privileged of hear his message, I think that his message is too early and bold for this times, he is a true thinker and regrettably he will not be understood by the people in now a days. But his message is remarcable and is beyond the modern politics. Hopefully, some one will be touched for his example, like me.
Mujica's ideas are common sense, as simple and charming as that. The question is how really insane is the system we are living in and how it brainwashes people to live in a wrong way which is making a huge impact on a planetary scale with awful consequences for our descendants. I think it is so insane that makes look the simple common sense as a new revelation. Long live Mujica!!
absolutely agree! when people say 'wow, you're so intelligent for talking philosophically about simple practises' to anyone, I just think 'yes, but, it's common sense. There's nothing to it. Were used to the very opposite so the fact that this information comes as a 'revelation' is concurrent with how deep we are in mess.
thats not common sense. people may say things like that sometimes but they arent really convinced and more brainwashed about success, power aka money and other praised things. some people would consider that as common sense because it seems logical but thats only that few people :) including you
"Freedom is having time to live" Excellent conclusion. Most people in the western world spend their whole day working (often both spouses) to afford the things they don't have the time to enjoy. How ridiculous is that?

Thank you for the clarification, but still the subtitles said "American" only, without mention of North. Of course Uruguayans are also American - Latin American.
He was a guerrilla fighter. He fought against a goverment elected by the people in democratic elections. And he was president thanks to that Democratic system that allowed him to be president !!! Did you really think that the Tupamaros, if they won the war, were going to call for Democratic elections three month after ?? Sorry, but are you crazy ???
76 death , asesinated , 99 % were unurmed and always ,killed by at list 3 fully armed guerrilla. They wanted to install a comunist government by creating a caos in the country. They lost the war. Went to jail. After years in jail, and in a full democràtic sistem , and in a complete democràtic election , his party won. They won ,thanks to the democràtic sistem that ,him and his "compañeros " never wanted for Uruguay! !!! Funny isn't ? And because of the Tupamaros, there was a dictatorship from 1974 until 1985, 11 years. Yes, he donated part of his wages , and they lived like poor people, with his wife,also a Tupamara ! And they left twice as many poor people in more asentamientos! !!!! after 15 years . And a huge debt that this new government is trying to pay and making big sacrifices .My friend ,not everything that shines ,is gold ? They never created new jobs ,investment, they went for the " social " thing. Well , social politic,needs lots of money, tu pay, " social wages ". And also created thousands of goverment jobs !! Were is the money to pay them ?. Of course, they created a lot of votes for the next eleccion !!!! Regards.
The strange part of this is that this man is held up as a genius, but he is really saying things that anyone with common decency would say. But the strange part is that the common decency is seldom acted upon, this is what makes him special. He not only says, but does. In the western world we have come to normalize lies, we expect politicians to lie, so we vote for the most charming liars.
+Tobias Solem sorry for imposing but i think all of you guys need to take a look at TheVenusProject.com and google "Jacque Fresco" do what you will with this information i think you will be very happy with it. i wish i could see a talk between Jose Mujica and Jacque Fresco, would definately be interesting and i think they could do great things together
+Sophie Archer Bernie Sanders. He's no charming liar by any means and he has a voice of wisdom compatible with Jose's. Listen to the guy. JFK was the last guy to speak so much plain truth. He's worth the vote, and more importantly, he's channeling a lot of people. Even if the process is so rigged that he doesn't get elected, you have the opportunity to use that flow and apply the lessons of people like Jose to make it work at your level. Get involved and more importantly, get informed :) Peace
+papapetad I stopped reading at "JFK was the last guy to speak so much plain truth". JFK has more myth than truth around him, his ties to the mafia being one of his many flaws.
Never have I felt such admiration for a political person, but this guy is himself in both politically and personally, a great example of what a country leader should be like. Despite of whatever he did in his past or whichever group he belonged to, he's a true wise man, and that won't change his future or his accomplishments in the country of Uruguay. This is a true leader. One which posses empathy toward his citizens.
I'm most uplifted than ever. I'm most grateful than ever. I'm in tears. If such a person is top politician or a president then there is hope for a humankind. He is an example for the rest of the world that this is possible. New way of thinking(wich really is a very old way) among the leaders of the world is possible. i thought i can only read about governers like him from ancient Chinese history :) from Lao Zi or Confucius :) Great Uruguayans! I love you! You are great people because of you it's possbile that you have a leader like Jose Pepe Mujica! Let that be an example for the rest of the world! No pope has ever been as godly as him thought they are the leaders of the churches. I know that Jose Pepe Mujica says he is an atheist but in real life he speaks and acts more Christ like than any pope or big leader i know. Thank you uruguayans! Thank you and be blessed. I will support you , I will promote your president and country as a good example to all the people I know in my country, (wich is smaller than yours-Estonia). Name him The world's richest president!
I love the simplicity and courage of Jose Mujica, I will try to bring changes in my life like him. Living simple life without any much desires is the purest form of living. I live here in India where most of the Politicians are corrupt, only the powerful people get elected. Mr. President gives me hope that their are still people with dignity and courage. Not many people outside know about him, I think people like him must be made popular so that their voice could reach out to most of the people and they get influenced by him and change their life making this world a better place.
one of my favorite president of all time, and I am not from Uruguay. Mr Jose Mujica is my role model, all world presidents must follow his footsteps asap !!!
I am speechless. This man has everything that every human being should and would pay a high price to possess: integrity, passion, humility, and unlimited love for his country and his people. Respect to Jose, I so wish that more people had the same principles as you.
Hey Ronald, Im uruguayan,we will be glad to have you here as a friend, but keep yourself living there, and start changing the world as a trees does, giving shadow and fruits were they´re planted by mother nature ;)
***** It´s so funny reading some comments from some people miles away. Just try with only a month living here, and you will come back immediately to your country, if you do not committed suicide before! Uruguay no ma´!!!
"The only good addiction is love." Powerful words from an Uruguayan sage. "Man is a strong animal if he has convictions." Great leader and great man. I respect him even if he is an atheist and I follow Jesus. :)
***** How nice, a religious person who respects someone who refuses to believe in deities without any evidence. The Papua New Guinean mud God, Pikkiwoki, smiles upon you, my son.
+yeah Nar The lack of evidence is merely proportional to one's definition of God. Jose may say he's an atheist but he sure as hell behaves like a saint. I think religious people naturally respect someone who lives the lessons they often can't apply. Peace :)
+papapetad That's why I have faith and not religion. :) And I'm going to ignore what Jons says because your average agnostic or atheistic philosopher is too closed minded to see the other side of the issue. But thanks you guys! :)
I love this Man! His integrity, the way he respects others without imposing his personal beliefs. His humbleness... As only, if other governments agreed with him, we would live in a different world.... I'd like to thank the broadcasting organization for uploading the interview on youtube!
Sigit Prasetyo Mujica was in prison for terrorism in the 70s and 80s and released because an amnesty. My parents saw themselves what the urban guerrillas he belonged did to civilians. He never apologized for his past. His movement says they "changed the methods" for "adapting them to this new time"
just finished watching "a 12 years night". My respect to you Mr Jose Mujica. Now I understand why you can live the way you live. when you had nothing, it made you appreciate little things in life . much respect.
Orgullo como latinoamericano que existan lideres como Mujica en nuestra region. Espero en no mucho tiempo ver en mi país (Argentina) un presidente como él...
View this video is in my opinion a must. Thank you Mr. Jose Mujica, president from Uruguay. There is a lot of wisdom in your words. You are an big soul & the people in your country and all they know you can be really happy. With deep respect. Ernst Koch
You know Trump is getting paid 1 dollar per month as president, right? He already has enough money and doesn't want more. People like, 99% of the presidents only want more, and more, and more money, even if they are already millonaries. That is not Trump's case.
Disgusting the Fuccboi because he already has so much money, he is able to afford gold seatbelts on his private plane he doesn't need the president's salary. Name another politician who is worth 5 billion and flaunts his wealth so much.
It really impress me one thing, among many things he practices, he is an atheist, however he lives as the most loyal God's creation. I still believe in human being of this exceptional kind!
bucketoothbubba man ,the law in China does not even allow me on youtube... I am breaking the law using youtube , what do you think whats up over here bro ......
Indeed Jose mujica remains an incredible and astute politician...long live papa..i hope you will help teach Nigerian leaders so they will lead us aright....
Wow, Mujica is the best man, firstly the man, then the president I have ever seen, I wish that we in corupt Bosnia have only 1% of Mujica honesty in our politicians... Respect!
The depressing fact is that this man is a hero for the sole reason that all controversies surrounding his deed concerns the content of his politics: he does as he preaches. Whereas other presidents and politicians preach what is common sense and decent (most often), yet proposes and in practice pushes legislation contrary to their official views. As such we ask ourselves how aggression counts as defending freedom, in the case of US wars, and how funding terrorism helps democracy etc.etc., and we feel compelled to either disbelieve that these politics occur, or believe that they are part of a conspiracy and whatnot. This man is a hero for allowing genuine political disputes revolving around political content. That this is heroic - that this is uncommon - is our times greatest tragedy!
2019, got intrigued and... as what he just said to this interview "my definition of poor are those who need too much. i'm frugal not poor. " you are more than a treasure to your people sir, you are their living hero... you're kindness and generosity hopefully will spread in the entire universe and serve as an example to all leaders...SALUTE TO YOU SIR!
Please be the world's president. I beg you please. What a godly person you are, mr.Jose Mujica. I am very glad to know that we are living with at least one politician like you.
Yeah! Nobel Prize for him! Such a sincere and modest president is a treasure nowadays. There are upcoming presidential elections in my country in march... 15 candidates... mostly a parade of puppets and money/power hungry fakes.
There are no words for how much of a wonderful world we would live in if all our leaders were like him. Over time, the meaning of 'leadership' has been lost on al but a few.Jose for presiden- ... Oh... Er... Carry on....
KUDOS to you, Mr. President. You're my "IDEAL PRESIDENT FOR ALL TIME," please come to the Philippines and share your "WISDOM & HUMILITY" to my poor people. Even though you publicly confess that you're an atheist, I still do believe that somehow you also believe in God since you also believe in "paradise" where you might also be with your people. PARADISE is the right and beautiful place for humble people like you, and it won't surely be impossible, just as you also certainly deserve the NOBEL PEACE PRIZE sooner or later. God bless you & your family, your people, and your beloved Uruguay!
as a Uruguayan im very proud to have our president represent our thinking, way of life and values as well as el pepe does! thank you all for being able to value mujica as the inspiration he is!....he is teaching every one of us, as well as leading us!
Wow what nice and humble man. It´s a really inspireing interview and he is definitely right about all the things he says, but unfortunately we live in a cynical capitalistic world and the people in power only care about themselves because most of them are corrupt, greedy and destructive of nature.
+Suleman Malik corrupt yes, greedy yes, but not by nature. We are all products of the society we live in, we are shaped by it and corrupted by it, even when we don't realize. The human brain has no function for right and wrong, these are all learned things that we as a society define. They might even have had good intentions somewhere down the line.
Scriptzo... I don't think Sulaiman Malik said "destructive by nature" but "destructive of nature"... so he meant something different from what you read....
Man Pepe's the today's Seneca or Marcus Aurelius, such a Stoic I'm proud he was once our president, such passion and humility it's crazy when you look at other world leaders and they don't even hold 1 of the trait this gentleman has. Only praises.
Jose Mujica..Sir long live.. mesmerizing, such kind of honest, humble, sticking to true' values and principles, person as a President, is living in this show world. Tonnes of Salute to you Sir, Love from India 🇮🇳
He's not the "poorest president" in the world as the western media tries to characterize Pepe Mujica. He's the richest man on earth because he has the love and appreciation of all his people!

+stan frymann He's the best, really. I don't think there are other presidents out there who are like him, at all.
+AdvancedSoul I dont know how much money he had, but if he lived poor then made money, he would have the perspective of both. though it may still apply even if he has money. Did he have golden statues?
+stan frymann YES. SOME PEOPLE ARE SO POOR, ALL THEY HAVE IS MONEY.
Why isn't this guy a worldwide legend, no one really talks about him because he wants to help the poor! This warmed my heart and gives me hope in humanity
Smoochie COYLE He gives away 90% of his salary to charity . Unlike other corrupt presidents
Smoochie COYLE Because Uruguay is a small country in South America though it seems to be the most well off.
all is not lost

Definitely the wisest president in history! The one that lived the closest to what he preached.
Jose Mujica: "If everyone would live the life of an average American, we need 3 planets to live in" what a simple man, Jesus!
To be precise he said in Spanish "North American," which presumably includes Canadians. The "north" disappeared in the English subtitles.
Thank you for the clarification, but still the subtitles said "American" only, without mention of North. Of course Uruguayans are also American - Latin American.

toedark its not tea, its mate, Uruguay's national drink
Because it's tea time :)
"The only good addiction is love." Powerful words from an Uruguayan sage. "Man is a strong animal if he has convictions." Great leader and great man. I respect him even if he is an atheist and I follow Jesus. :)
***** How nice, a religious person who respects someone who refuses to believe in deities without any evidence. The Papua New Guinean mud God, Pikkiwoki, smiles upon you, my son.
+Paul-Octave Hébert
Jesus is dead. Sure you want to follow him?
+Jons Collasius Careful with that edge, might poke your eye out.
+yeah Nar The lack of evidence is merely proportional to one's definition of God. Jose may say he's an atheist but he sure as hell behaves like a saint. I think religious people naturally respect someone who lives the lessons they often can't apply. Peace :)
+papapetad That's why I have faith and not religion. :) And I'm going to ignore what Jons says because your average agnostic or atheistic philosopher is too closed minded to see the other side of the issue. But thanks you guys! :)
HERO....!!! Most of the countries in the world need a president like him...
This guy should be a saint
+dartzu There would probably be a good chance of that happening if he wasn't publicly an atheist.
+dartzu saint is a catholic thing, he is an atheist, does a lot of good
Im from Uruguay and I love pepe... But I can assure you he is NOT a saint.
+Matias Carvalho Explain mate
I just learned one of the greatest lesson of my life... sir you are really an inspiration.. yes you are not poor yet m not afraid to be poor anymore
such a wise man. I wish more presidents were like him!!
GOD bless this Great man and his supporting wife.
He is the best leader and has indeed shown lots of humility and a great example .I am touched
this is so beautiful. This man is a true idol!
Wow. What an amazing person. You Uruguayans are so lucky!
Africans need presidents like Jose Mujica. god bless Jose Mujica
magufuli is trying hard
Why Africans? Why not eastern Europeans or Asians?
Mark Coetzee at least Eastern European May have electricity, at least food, water, and little infrastructure then Africa.
The whole world needs
@@markcoetzee5458 be quiet
The worst thing is still there are people who don't like him to see as a president !!!! :(
+Najeeb Puthiyallam probably the elite minority
I love this Man! His integrity, the way he respects others without imposing his personal beliefs. His humbleness... As only, if other governments agreed with him, we would live in a different world.... I'd like to thank the broadcasting organization for uploading the interview on youtube!
wonderful man , modest yet very influential , simple and practice his teachings unlike our leaders ,they just fed us ideals that they never apply.
i feel in love with this wise men,god bless you Sir
Yep, I do agree. This wise men has commitment to his freedom and also life simply..
Sigit Prasetyo Mujica was in prison for terrorism in the 70s and 80s and released because an amnesty. My parents saw themselves what the urban guerrillas he belonged did to civilians. He never apologized for his past. His movement says they "changed the methods" for "adapting them to this new time"
Me too, God bless him!
Yep, I see. I was very addicted with his words. He is so wise. Simply.
just finished watching "a 12 years night". My respect to you Mr Jose Mujica. Now I understand why you can live the way you live. when you had nothing, it made you appreciate little things in life . much respect.
Salute sir, just was crying during the whole vid..love from India..My new Hero..a huge respect..long live sir..❤️❤️❤️🙏
Orgullo como latinoamericano que existan lideres como Mujica en nuestra region. Espero en no mucho tiempo ver en mi país (Argentina) un presidente como él...
View this video is in my opinion a must. Thank you Mr. Jose Mujica, president from Uruguay. There is a lot of wisdom in your words. You are an big soul & the people in your country and all they know you can be really happy. With deep respect. Ernst Koch
this guy is the opposite of Trump
you meant to say killary
Ankit Srivastava Both
Juan Pedro Mariano agreed, but killary's greed is greater,although she isn't as rich as Trump
You know Trump is getting paid 1 dollar per month as president, right?
He already has enough money and doesn't want more.
People like, 99% of the presidents only want more, and more, and more money, even if they are already millonaries. That is not Trump's case.
Disgusting the Fuccboi because he already has so much money, he is able to afford gold seatbelts on his private plane he doesn't need the president's salary. Name another politician who is worth 5 billion and flaunts his wealth so much.
The world needs many more leaders like President Jose' Mujica!😇👍
It really impress me one thing, among many things he practices, he is an atheist, however he lives as the most loyal God's creation. I still believe in human being of this exceptional kind!
im moving to uruguay!
meeeeee too !
im moving from sweden this fall, see you there :)
haha .I hope so , cause i am a chinese :(
oh how nice :) first time speaking to a chinese! Why the sad face, whats up over there in China?
bucketoothbubba man ,the law in China does not even allow me on youtube... I am breaking the law using youtube , what do you think whats up over here bro ......
i just want to give this guy a hug ^^
Wisdom flows through every cell and atom of this guy! The Earth need's more people like him!
Is it possible that this kind of politician exist,i'm amased and delighted.
have faith in humanity good people exists
AMEN🙏
Indeed Jose mujica remains an incredible and astute politician...long live papa..i hope you will help teach Nigerian leaders so they will lead us aright....
Wow, Mujica is the best man, firstly the man, then the president I have ever seen, I wish that we in corupt Bosnia have only 1% of Mujica honesty in our politicians... Respect!
Bake je pošten :D
Uruguay pone el ejemplo al mundo al apoyar a este hombre tan sabio.
te lo cambio por bachelet y la evelyn.......ya?.
Como uruguayo me siento muy gratificado al saber que gente de otros países nos apoyan! Gracias y ojala sirva de ejemplo.
The depressing fact is that this man is a hero for the sole reason that all controversies surrounding his deed concerns the content of his politics: he does as he preaches. Whereas other presidents and politicians preach what is common sense and decent (most often), yet proposes and in practice pushes legislation contrary to their official views. As such we ask ourselves how aggression counts as defending freedom, in the case of US wars, and how funding terrorism helps democracy etc.etc., and we feel compelled to either disbelieve that these politics occur, or believe that they are part of a conspiracy and whatnot. This man is a hero for allowing genuine political disputes revolving around political content. That this is heroic - that this is uncommon - is our times greatest tragedy!
2019, got intrigued and...
as what he just said to this interview "my definition of poor are those who need too much. i'm frugal not poor. " you are more than a treasure to your people sir, you are their living hero... you're kindness and generosity hopefully will spread in the entire universe and serve as an example to all leaders...SALUTE TO YOU SIR!
Please be the world's president. I beg you please. What a godly person you are, mr.Jose Mujica. I am very glad to know that we are living with at least one politician like you.
+Oyunsuren Chultem Godly?
+Wibble Lord yes
The real El Presidente!!! VIVA JOSE MUJICA!
SALUDOS JOSE MUJICA... I'm proud to be a Latinoamericano... I LOVE YOU MUJICA! FOR NEW LATIN AMERICA!
A grave error to call this man poor. Richer than most of us. Absolute respect.
Long live Mr President! Greetings from Russia!
Finally I found a new Hero to look up to..this is the kind of people I keep close to my heart...I Thank you best sir..
Such a simple and generous President. From Philippines
massive respect for the man. from Pakistan and wish we get somebody like him as our leader.
Yeah! Nobel Prize for him! Such a sincere and modest president is a treasure nowadays.
There are upcoming presidential elections in my country in march... 15 candidates... mostly a parade of puppets and money/power hungry fakes.
this man really deserved a big respect ... !
the very first time am enjoying an interview. live long Pepe Mujica and lots love from Kenya.
It's 2024 and I'm here watching this again. The world needs more humans with Pepe Mujica's attitude to life now more than ever.
My favorite politician of all times!!! Love love him!!!
There are no words for how much of a wonderful world we would live in if all our leaders were like him. Over time, the meaning of 'leadership' has been lost on al but a few.Jose for presiden- ... Oh... Er... Carry on....
KUDOS to you, Mr. President. You're my "IDEAL PRESIDENT FOR ALL TIME," please come to the Philippines and share your "WISDOM & HUMILITY" to my poor people. Even though you publicly confess that you're an atheist, I still do believe that somehow you also believe in God since you also believe in "paradise" where you might also be with your people. PARADISE is the right and beautiful place for humble people like you, and it won't surely be impossible, just as you also certainly deserve the NOBEL PEACE PRIZE sooner or later. God bless you & your family, your people, and your beloved Uruguay!
as a Uruguayan im very proud to have our president represent our thinking, way of life and values as well as el pepe does! thank you all for being able to value mujica as the inspiration he is!....he is teaching every one of us, as well as leading us!
I just cried WoW such a great man. This man is an angel!
this world needs man like you, thank you..
May God give you long life And more blessings President Jose Mujica👍❤️👏🏽🙏
poor in money, but rich in wisdom.
Neisan Land ...Thats just it, he isn't poor financially, he voluntarily gives his money away... 😏😏😏
Wow what nice and humble man. It´s a really inspireing interview and he is definitely right about all the things he says, but unfortunately we live in a cynical capitalistic world and the people in power only care about themselves because most of them are corrupt, greedy and destructive of nature.
+Suleman Malik corrupt yes, greedy yes, but not by nature. We are all products of the society we live in, we are shaped by it and corrupted by it, even when we don't realize. The human brain has no function for right and wrong, these are all learned things that we as a society define. They might even have had good intentions somewhere down the line.
Scriptzo... I don't think Sulaiman Malik said "destructive by nature" but "destructive of nature"... so he meant something different from what you read....
Man Pepe's the today's Seneca or Marcus Aurelius, such a Stoic I'm proud he was once our president, such passion and humility it's crazy when you look at other world leaders and they don't even hold 1 of the trait this gentleman has. Only praises.
Jose Mujica..Sir long live.. mesmerizing, such kind of honest, humble, sticking to true' values and principles, person as a President, is living in this show world. Tonnes of Salute to you Sir, Love from India 🇮🇳
Καλησπέρα σας!
Υπέροχος άνθρωπος με αξίες ηθική και σοφία!!!!!
