1. Is that you ATTICUS?

Sure sounds like him. Hmm.

[poli-junkie]

2. I love Jeff Daniels. nt

[grantcart]

3. He should be in the senate

[FakeNoose]

20. Yep I agree

[imanamerican63]

4. He nailed it!

[BigmanPigman]

5. I watched it live since I watched the film last night

and was curious. I am glad I did, great guest today with insightful points to make.

The GOP is on its last leg and they know it so they pulled out the "race card" so salvage their corrupt party. He also said that if we do not stop this BS before the election AND then we lose the election that our democracy is dead...pretty good assessment.

He also said that in this version of the play now on Broadway the character of Atticus is a racist enabler who watches from his porch but by the end he has changed into an activist. The black housekeeper "Cal" has a significant part this time around.

7. I watched. He was wonderful.

To Kill a Mocking Bird -- one of my very most favorites books and movies. Now a play -- wish I could attend the play.

[lunatica]

8. I would definitely go to that play!

Perhaps they’ll film it for posterity.

[TruckFump]

10. That would be great!

I loved the part where he said he turns himself into Atticus Finch!

[Kurt V.]

9. in times like these, we do have a history of someone never before known to step

forward and be that hero.

11. Carrey and Daniels

are smart and smarter. pEnce and tRump are dumb and dumber.

12. Bare minimum: Mr. Daniels, please address the Democratic Convention in 2020. Please.

I was lucky enough to see his Atticus Finch portrayal on Broadway a few months ago, and I wouldn't have thought I could be more impressed by the man. His commentary on MSNBC today proved me wrong. High point: His hope for a genuine hero in the Justice Department to walk an unredacted copy of the Mueller report over to the Washington Post. God grant that we're blessed by the actions of such a hero. And soon.

13. just home from work

watching DL WH now

[smirkymonkey]

14. Spot on!

I'm impressed. I would love to hear more from him going forward. I hope he takes a bigger role in speaking out against the republicans. In fact, I would love to see him run for office.

[MBS]

15. Thanks for the video link

I caught this in real time (I have really been liking Nicole Wallace's show lately) and thought he was terrific!

[BSdetect]

18. He is so correct. Get up in their faces.

[NCjack]

19. I hope Jeff does a PBS mini-series as Gen. George Washington. nt

[byronius]

21. Dang. This is good.

[NNadir]

22. Certainly qualified to be Atticus Finch. n/t.

[zentrum]

23. Thanks for posting.

[spanone]

24. K&R...

[Beringia]

25. That was good

[50 Shades Of Blue]

26. K & R! That was so great!

[klook]

27. Love this guy.

He is down to earth as I knew he would be. And dead serious about his love of country and the peril in which we find ourselves.

And as an aside, his work on Godless was brilliant and chilling. One of the greatest, and scariest, performances I’ve ever seen.

29. I think he looks like President Bill Pullman from Independence Day.
