czcams.com/video/InQnEY4BQhI/video.htmlsi=dzPZlJltskwEx-cF It’s about trumping the blues, fentanyl, poverty, addiction, veterans suicide rate, issues plaguing our world but more specifically America
Oh please, i'm sick of hearing how "fentanyl is killing our children". Bull hockey! Fentanyl isn't killing anybody. These morons are killing themselves by taking it. You wanna mess around with drugs? Go ahead, it's your ass.
Imagine living in a country where your past dictates your RIGHT to voice your opinion in a political vote.. on top of that your RIGHT and NOT a privilege to OWN a gun!! This country fell LONG AGO just most are too blind to see it, or too scared to admit it!
The plane analogy - really makes you stop and think. JellyRoll seems to be such a loving and caring man, you hear it in the way he delivers his speech. Lots of Respect!
God bless Senator Sherrod Brown for helping this man give testimony before Congress. Much respect to Senator Sherrod Brown and JellyRoll. 🙏😇 God help us all. ✨
And that’s ONLY if people TRULY LISTEN, take this issue SERIOUSLY, change the way we VIEW addiction and STOP punishing TRUE pain patients by RESTRICTING or cutting off PRESCRIPTION opioids. The government are the ones to blame for 1st the heroin crisis and now fentanyl crisis. You DONT cut off access to Dr prescribed PRESCRIPTION opioids for pain PERIOD
Great that you did this! Unfortunately they don't care. They don't care about kids not eating, they don't care about Vets, they don't care about health care. You're talking to people that have money to put their children in rehab. They don't care. It doesn't touch them. God bless you for doing this. I've lost people from this too.
Same here, just happened to catch one of his earlier songs about addiction and it stopped me in my tracks. I began looking him up and following him and he has become my hero.
I actually found his wife’s podcast first and he was a featured guest. I was so blown away by how introspective he is. And what an amazing storyteller he is too.
Jelly I'm so proud of you. Coming from a girl that's been in treatment, 8 times. Only I choose to never work my program, because of the pain iv lived and saw in my life. I'm 51 years old, still using trying to find away out of this he'll. You gave me hope, Thankyou, Michelle
Never give up! I pray everyday for you and anyone else who fights these demons. You can come out of this. You were created perfectly in God's image and are loved more than you know. Keep fighting, and know that your life is defined by far more than your addiction. ❤
Amen Jelly Roll! #FACTS #TRUTH Now this IS a man we need for president. Not like all the other fools in our government positions (I refuse to call them "leaders") who dont, HE SPEAKS FACTS BECAUSE HE TELLS TRUTH. GOD BLESS YOU JELLY ROLL. Pray for our families. We seriously, very seriously need it in this troubled world.
And this is why I've changed my life around bc it's not just bc of his music but he's doing his thing for the ppl and tries to reach out to ppl that lived that life style and we made it out. Good job jelly roll... Ur hitting home every time I turn around ...thank you
This dude said it to the point,he should be representing the future of this country. One solid dude and he has my vote. Thank you Sir for your words of wisdom to the powers that are uninformed of a serious problem that has plaqued our nation for far too long!
What knowledge?. Talks about drug addiction when we all know the root of the problem, plane analogy is also stupid as people choose to take drugs a plane crashing is not a choice.@@Haze.Tha.Ripper
Wow! What a man! More like him would be appreciated. One can no longer assume the gov't will do the "right" thing. When a leader invites millions of people invade this country bringing everything under the sun with them, we have got to speak up! Thank you, Jelly Roll. Now I'm going to listen to your music!
And then he flipped tables!!! Jelly I see your soul in the music you write. There’s nothing louder than an ‘uneducated’ man from the other side of the tracks delivering a speech that commands recognition that America has a problem! I don’t believe an ounce of anything less than the upmost respect was had for you and your message in that room. Keep doing exactly what you’re doing. You’re gonna continue to do big things in this world. So proud of you!!!!
Your speech touched my heart to the core I am one of those recovering drug addicts who in my 7 years clean have watched dozens die from overdose. Something has to change we have to take a stand. Kids are younger and younger trying new things and they are dying. I stand with you jellyroll thank you
God bless you Jelly! I lost my beloved sister to a drug overdose in 2015. She was only 42 years old. She was beautiful but didn’t know it and battled drug addiction for at least 15 years before it took her life. She was my mother figure, sister, best friend and soulmate. My sister needed therapy and she was on a waiting list to get into rehab. She died right before. I miss her every minute of my every waking hour. Thank you for speaking on this topic.
Absolutely brilliant speech…. This is what country’s need honesty and truth from people who actually live on the streets reality for many people and what we see
Thank you for bringing my daughters struggles to a place that maybe, maybe this demon can start being slain. My beautiful, intelligent, charismatic, kind, loving daughter who struggles every day fighting not to use again. Meth, coke, fentanyl.... They change the brain function creating a craving that not a single person, who hasn't used, can understand. I so appreciate your assistance in trying to fight this battle for her, and every other person who fights addiction, in this arena.
Congratulations on your purpose Jelly! Jelly - definitely not a "stupid song writer". I love his music because it is gritty and speaks absolute truth to the soul. The addiction problem is not something to toil lightly with. This happens to so many and my prayers are with each and every beautiful human being out there, struggling, seeking help, sitting in the darkness, waiting for the light. Know you are loved, you have value, there is hope and you are never alone. God Speed 😇🙏 Well done Sir!
Good for you this is a real, HUGE problem in our country and the government is RESPONSIBLE for causing it when they (government) restricted access to opioids for ppl who genuinely need pain relief This is a DISGRACE AND NEEDS TO END
I’m with you! The approach the govt took was probably well intended but so poorly executed. We ended up legislating pain medicine away from those who took it responsibly and out of true need, not to just “get high.” So many have suffered on the other side of this thing and we’ve got to get to identifying and correcting the real problem here. Don’t punish pain patients. And don’t blame addicts, help them. Hang in there. ❤️
I lost my sister in February to a fentanyl overdose. She smoked a joint with her friend and it was laced in fentanyl. Left behind three beautiful children. Their father committed suicide four years ago. Two of the best people in the world are no longer here. Keep my family and her babies in your prayers.
Same with my best friend that passed from smoking a joint laced with fentanyl. Super sad i detailed a car with him the day before and dropped him off at his house. The next morning I seen his lifeless body siting over the end of the bed dead.😢😢 I think he was having a hard time sleeping and tried to smoke to go to sleep but didn't know it was laced. Love ya Shawn and sorry for your loss also.
@@jacobhillanbrand7988 I'm so sorry for your loss. It's something you will never get over. Her "friend" called 911 so in Arkansas the "good Samaritan law" protected her for being arrested even though the police confiscated meth, needles etc. She had time to hide the fentanyl and sent me a text that she didn't do Fent-at-all. Thinking she was being cute. The police report revealed told otherwise. Laws need to be changed.
Thank you Jelly Roll for taking your time out of your busy schedule to help others that has these issues, we're truly blessed to have someone like you to stick your head out for others.
God Bless You Jelly Roll! Thank you for using your testimony to make such a positive in impact of the lives of others! Powerful words by an incredible human being and a very gifted artist!
Thank you for speaking for the addicts an alcoholic who have no voice we are humans an every life is worth saving we all are gods children just different
Lost my brother to fentanyl 2 years ago today. I've almost lost my son to it more times than I can count. I'm so glad people are stepping up to spread awareness. This has got to stop.
I understand Jason. I've lost friends, family members, and people that I grew up with. Its a sad scene that plays out daily. Fight the good fight, and keep spreading the awareness.
Thank you for standing up for the ones that can't. I lost my son in 2021 to this drug. No one understands what someone goes through when you lose your child, friend or anyone you care about to this drug.unless you have. And bad thing is nothing is being done about it and no one cares. Thank you for fighting for ours kids our loved ones. Thanks for caring.
Hang in there Janice. Few people know the pain you’ve been through, and anyone who judges HOW a person dies clearly has their own issues to clean through. Hang in there, and remember you’re not alone in your loss ❤️
Hell my son was on meth FENTANYL AN BY THE GRACE TO GOD HE'S KNOW IN REHAB HE WENT HIS BIRTHDAY JANUARY 9th an he told i gave him life not once but twice i birth him his birthday was gift of life again it made cry happy tears cause have been there myself but woke one a called it quits ii praise my God that he saved my son
He’s so strong for that. One of the hardest things an addict has to go through is to make the decision to stop, that’s half the fight, getting through treatment is another battle itself 👏 happy for u both
NOTHIN BUT TRUTH!! Thank you for standing up for what is Teal & God Bless you and your family!! Hopefully they will Truly understand and act on this problem!!
Jelly Roll, thank you! I am typing with tears streaming down my cheeks. Please keep up this powerful advocacy work....our voices must be heard..(edit addition) P.S. I had never heard of you until I watched this, but I am paying attention to your voice now! Thank you, thank you, thank you. Kimberley
I struggled with alcohol (hard liquor) from 2006 till 2022 and opioids (back injury) from 2008 till 2022. Five times over the years in rehab before i finally got it right. I'm surprised i didn't die from mixing extreme whiskey consumption and 10 to 15 perks a day. Determination and prayer got me out of hell. Jelly thank you sir.
I stumbled upon Jelly Roll cause of Mama Tot. I fell in love with his music. I found this while listening to his music, I lost a dear friend to addiction. This speech brought tears to my eyes. What he stands for, what he is saying, he is a real person, and we need more "celebrities" that are real people. I have all the respect for this man and what he stands for. ❤
I know Jelly Roll you are speaking for people like me who have no vice and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for that . Wrote this knowing you will never see it but I needed to write it
11.30 a .m. i have my dearest friend that i found blue and non responsive when i found her. I didnt know why . I did CPR and mouth to mouth til first responders got there. They gave her narcan. I am proud to say she is still alive but unfortunately in Dalton Georgia it is unfested with fentanyl and people r dying daily. Thank you for standing strong on getting fentanyl off the streets!
This is amazing!!! Love he did this. I have so many family and friends that have passed away from addiction and many more that still deal with it on a daily basis. Thank you jelly roll ❤
Tomorrow is the anniversary of my sister‘s death from an overdose. Thank you for speaking to congress on all of our behalf’s the song She brought me so many tears, but so much joy true fan for life before your fame🤘🤘🤘
I can put more faith in u man than i can the justice syestem but u understand plzzz b part of the solution for my daughter she has put herself in so much danger and abuse over and over im begging u jelly roll im on bended knees
Jelly roll could not of offered a true statement in every direction possible 💪 much respect for this interview is putting on the light 🕯️ long needed to the fullest 💯 totally hopefully it will be taken seriously for us all with family members and are children in the mix of this one hell of epadimic drug that has no name or race color or Creed in any way but a total killer for are people who we hold so close in are hearts
Your an amazing person! Thank you for seeing us! I am a former and recovering addict of 8 years and this really pulls at my heart! Finally someone who uses their voice properly!!
I'm also an addict that keeps going in and out of recovery for years.. for the first time in my life I'm doing the best I ever have!! This is powerful and ty for standing up for us all.... I'd love to help you if I can...I also want to make a change and save lives and break chains
Way to go dude. That is not an easy road to travel and find your way out of, but you seem to have found a way. Props to you… so few know how hard it is. Congrats for getting to where you are! ❤️

It’s about trumping the blues, fentanyl, poverty, addiction, veterans suicide rate, issues plaguing our world but more specifically America
No it's not. It's about stopping needless deaths and the destruction. it's about being a *person* and caring for your neighbors.
When you don't have the right to vote, but still have freedom of speech.... Godspeed Jelly Roll. You're doing it right.
Amen BEAUTIFULLY SAID❤
Such a power full of moment with much needed truth and facts
Oh please, i'm sick of hearing how "fentanyl is killing our children". Bull hockey! Fentanyl isn't killing anybody. These morons are killing themselves by taking it. You wanna mess around with drugs? Go ahead, it's your ass.

holy shoot Jelly Roll is one hell of an orator
Wonder if he could run for office
Yes indeed, he's so well spoken!
It’s BRILLIANT. He’s a natural. What a storyteller!
@@maryjohartman2219 Except for that whole being a felon part, granted most politicians would be felons if they were actually prosecuted.

The plane analogy - really makes you stop and think. JellyRoll seems to be such a loving and caring man, you hear it in the way he delivers his speech. Lots of Respect!
The difference is consuming a drug is a choice, a plane falling from the sky isnt.
@@hardvegetable1598 Choosing to get on a plane is a choice though!
Yes u sure do lots of respect Jelly Roll
You should already know this
It’s also a choice to take that drug!!!!
I did drugs for 26 years I have now been cleaned 24. Your music tells the truth.
Proud of you.
Good for you and yours buddy
Walkn the line, baby
I'm happy for you!
Good for Jelly Roll for grabbing the platform that he's been given and using it to (hopefully) make a difference! What a good speech he gave.
God bless Senator Sherrod Brown for helping this man give testimony before Congress. Much respect to Senator Sherrod Brown and JellyRoll. 🙏😇 God help us all. ✨

When I heard that speech I cried. Thank God Jelly Roll is speaking out about it .
I saw this guy randomly flipping channels. He was singing. I liked his song. I looked him up. He is a good speaker. I am very impressed.
Same here in the same order 😁
Same here, just happened to catch one of his earlier songs about addiction and it stopped me in my tracks. I began looking him up and following him and he has become my hero.
Yes, indeed, so well spoken ❤❤❤❤
I actually found his wife’s podcast first and he was a featured guest. I was so blown away by how introspective he is. And what an amazing storyteller he is too.
Thank you for being a voice for the voiceless. I'm lucky enough to have made it out, but I'm tired of burying my friends and now our kids!
He is right we need to stop. u can drink beer know and then. But not always
Jelly I'm so proud of you. Coming from a girl that's been in treatment, 8 times. Only I choose to never work my program, because of the pain iv lived and saw in my life. I'm 51 years old, still using trying to find away out of this he'll. You gave me hope, Thankyou, Michelle

God Bless you Michelle for trying and not Dying!! You will conquer this sooner then you think!!
I already have? 3 years ago! Thankyou for responding
Never give up! I pray everyday for you and anyone else who fights these demons. You can come out of this. You were created perfectly in God's image and are loved more than you know.
Keep fighting, and know that your life is defined by far more than your addiction. ❤
How do you say you are still using in your original comment and then say in the sub thread that you quit 3 years ago?
This man continues to impress me. He is doing a great work. 👍🏼
Way to go Jelly Roll. 👏🏼
Very eloquently spoken there, Mr.DeFord. Much respect.

Agreed 100%
That guy to his right behind him is deeply touched by him. You can tell this issue really hits home
Thank you, Jelly Roll. I lost my 1st born, my beautiful daughter to addiction, 21 months ago. God Bless
And this is why I've changed my life around bc it's not just bc of his music but he's doing his thing for the ppl and tries to reach out to ppl that lived that life style and we made it out.

It’s about time they let someone with real knowledge have a voice let’s see how it plays out
What knowledge?. Talks about drug addiction when we all know the root of the problem, plane analogy is also stupid as people choose to take drugs a plane crashing is not a choice.@@Haze.Tha.Ripper

I will never look at the ( Addicts) the same again! God bless this man.
So many people look at addiction as a filthy way of life and a choice. If they only knew.....
I love you Jelly Roll. You should be President. You makee proud. God bless your heart

For real struggle or yela can be vice president

Real people with genuine care and connections
I just found Jelly Roll, and I swear to God I want him in politics immediately
Same!
Thank you for standing up for the ones that can't. I lost my son in 2021 to this drug.

It wasn't god that saved your son. It was the strong mind and incredible will that your son himself posse's
