The Meaning of You - Scott Pelley | Wake Forest University Commencement Speech 2025

Well done, Mr. Pelley. Bravo, bravo, bravo!!!! Speaking truth to power is at the heart of resisting authoritarianism. We need this now more than ever. Thank you for your bravery and for your modeling of this behavior.

Thank you Scott Pelley hell of a commencement speech

Outstanding speech, Scott! Thank you so much for your educated, wise, from-the-heart words! Bravo!❤

One of the greatest speeches ever, I have faithly watched 60 minutes since i was about 9 yrs old and i will soon to be 69 yrs old ❤❤❤

Drama Queen must of been at a liberal arts graduation what a moron.

Thanks for your words, Ole Vestergaard - Denmark

No wonder CBS replaced him as the lead anchor for the evening news, yikes!

Thank you

woke forest, another commie hole.

Wow 👏

He's dead wrong about both Zelenskyy and Putin. Which nullified the rest of his speech as far as I'm concerned, which is really sad because most of it was spot on righteous and appropriate.

Very moving powerful evocations from the orator! Evil trump will be gone soon, people should resist opportunism and be on the right side of history!

Yes we are under attack. We have been for decades by an unquestionably biased media.
Every so often, there is a glimmer of hope that the media just might have some much needed introspection.
But then come along the Pelley's of the world. Zero self-awareness. Sad.

After spending 200K for a 4-year diploma at Wake Forest, I would have been pissed! Instead of an uplifting inspirational speech focused on tomorrow and THEIR future - Pelley came across as a self-pitying whiner, and his melodramatic gestures made it even more cringe worthy!

This man is a full of deceit , drama and lie. Go to hell where you are going for sure

I'm trying to detect the "hatred" in this brilliant, courageous speech. You have to be a die-hard MAGAT to condemn truth, I guess.Too bad they're out there and very vocal. Thank you, Mr. Pelley, for a vitally important message.

good.job

Bravo!!❤

Scott Pelly is correct to claim journalism is under attack. No different than the cancer in a liver in the body is attacked so too the cancer that is Scott Pelly in current American journalism is attacked. Does the attack on the cancerous liver signify a desire to destroy the liver? On the contrary, attacking the cancer in the liver is to bring the liver back to health. Let there be no doubt, Scott Pelly is an agent of cancer in American journalism. He wants the cancer to determine truth and not objective reality. Scott Pelly cancerous opinion of journalism is killing journalism, and no different than medical treatment for a cancerous liver the eliminating the cancer of Scott Pelly will make journalism a servant of truth. Of course Scott Pelly's claim is true he is under attack as cancer should be, how else will journalism regain credibility?

Those of 1941 did not choose, those of 1968 did not choose, they were chosen . Love that . 2025 we are chosen

scott is mad because all the lies cbs put out over the years are finally catching up to him.

Hell ya! This is how you courageously speak truth to power. It's amazing that some of these grads are just hearing this massage. FREEDOM is what AMERICA is all about.

Didn't 60 minutes have to pay out a billion dollar lawsuit for misinformation. Lol..

Mr. Pelley is just telling the truth. Everything he's stating are facts about our current administration.

Well done. Incredible speech. MAGA world will explode.

One of the BEST commencement speeches of 2025 and definitely in the TOP 10 ever.

I had to search for the whole speech, and here it is! "Ignorance works for power."

Great...
Thanks so much...

Scot Pelly does not disappoint. He says it the way it is happening all over the USA. Democracy needs people who believe in truth and law and order. Been watching 60 Minutes for 55 years and certainly enjoy Scot Pelly’s most recent segments on giving the total truth about Trump and his administration chaos and lies.

It’s wild to see how a commentator is able to speak in comparison to the president.

Gratitude to Scott Pelley

AFELON SO THAT FELONNS HAVE A HOPE OF NOT BEING IN A COUNTRY THAT THEY CAN NOT VOTE IN

U ARE NOT AS SMART AS AND PRESDIGEOUS AS U SAY

"the truth, only the truth and nothing but the truth"?..... well...... great speech with an intentional untruth/omission in it... so, who are you, Mr. speaker?

“We discuss, not destroy” ‼️‼️‼️

The theme of their first 6 months in office is literally destruction.
