Really looking forward to tomorrow night!

After President Biden’s talk to the nation I have hope that Americans will rise to the challenge to do what needs to be done!

I think a lot of people forgot about how bad George Bush was because of how bad Trump was.

I also think people ignore Biden's misgivings because of how bad trump and the people before trump were.

No we don’t, we acknowledge that, but we’re relieved someone competent is commander in chief

Thank you Michael, my birthday falls on September 11th. I will view your film as my amazing birthday gift. I look forward to Fahrenheit 9/11, the movie and the Q&A.

You and your talents are God's blessing for all of us!

Just heard your excellent podcast with Sean Penn, and was glad to hear you clarify that "packing" of the Supreme Court is not a desirable goal (hence the overuse of that negatively loaded term by opponents). Far more desirable are the "expansion" and the "rebalancing" of the Supreme Court with competent jurists, at least a few whom pattern themselves after the Notorious R.G.B. and others whose perspective now is sorely outnumbered in that inflated collection of rigid Federalist Society pawns and others from whom they were cloned.

Legislation should be pursued which limits the terms of the justices. And the goal should be reaching a reasonably expanded and more evenly balanced court which more accurately reflects the higher values of the true majority of our citizens -- and which can help us to preserve and expand the egalitarian and humanistic values and ideals towards which we all should be working to achieve...

P.S. - For those who are not dyslexic: "the Notorious R.B.G."

She, her wisdom and her determination are sorely missed...

When I see the hands on activism of Sean Penn or Jon Stewart..I am embarrassed at my apathy and my lack of contributing in a direct hands on way.

Hi Michael. How do you come to terms with Biden saying paraphrased: "I don't care about Afgans. Nixon and Kissinger didn't care in Vietnam. They got away with it, so can I. I am glad Biden cares about Americans....But to me if you don't care about people....That's unamerican.

I heartily disagree. I have volunteered all my life as did my parents for the richest rewarding experiences I have ever encountered, the best people I have ever met. I value the lessons I have learned from volunteering and have developed more confidence and self esteem because of them. I think this is a very good idea for our young people to help them develop value for others as well as themselves.
