‘Cause, he’s an actor, a good one!

You need an actor this good to do dumb and dumber. Believe me.

It's not just that he was in there. It's that this was an example of one of his scenes: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mJ2cac2Yma7Qn5s.html That....or To Kill a Mockingbird. Range =)

wow how can an actor change his moods lets see think of happy , think sad think hot think cold think portray OOOO dat is soooo hard you gotta be kidding me everybody in the world that has been a kid knows how to act

its called lying

They would have bleeped him if it was taped. But last night was live because of the debates and cutting away was their chosen option. Silence and staying on Daniels would have better - we could have read his lips.

He's an actor.

Same. It's like the dad uniform.

Lmfao!

Scott Flaherty it was exposing the media circus. that’s why it ended

It was a fantastic show.

I felt a similar (yet, obviously, not the same) experience with the quite disturbing because real The Loudest Voice with Crowe. Something raw, perhaps, an evil Will McAvoy to some extent. But the fact that it is based and most likely watered down version of true human scums makes it even more memorable, in my opinion.

+Andrew Nibbi ~ My exact thoughts as well, he's been an eye-opening discovery, since finding The Newsroom on Amazon streaming. He interviews really well, too, so it's not that he need's Sorkin's words in his mouth, though it sure can't hurt.

Sorkin found an embodiment for his voice in Daniels. Just as he did in the entire cast of the West Wing headed by Martin Sheen. They aren't just reciting lines, but incarnating them. The previous generation had Gregory Peck as their "conscience". (Taking on racism in "TKAM", anti-Semitism in "Genteman's Agreement", ethics in "The Man in the Grey Flannel Suit", etc.) If you haven't seen it, check out Daniels in the miniseries "The Looming Tower". Not Sorkin, but equally powerful.

He was cast for a reason

Max Max Even more so than Sheen I think. Martin is amazing, but you watch interviews with him, and he’s truly an actor’s actor. Amazing but he is able to hold a distance between himself and his roles and then able to just instantly sink into these legendary parts. Even though Sorkin loves to write for and to actors, Sheen is perfectly comfortable in the fact he shares some values with, but is NOT the kinda guy Bartlet is. Jeff on the other hand, is BUILT for Sorkin. Truly. And he’s so invested in politics and getting fired up about them, he really seems embody Aaron more writing TO someone than them acting to a character he wrote.

lol he was a kept man

Steven Brock 90% of Jeff’s talking points were emotional-based, so your argument doesn’t hold

He's amazingly well-spoken too, and he just got done doing Sorkin, so he still has that flow going through him that's effortless to listen to. ...Plus this was a live show, and when the red light shows, you gotta cut it. So maybe Colbert just thought he'd let him go until the light.

@Pacino Heat Where are you getting this from? Alex Jones?

Pacino Heat Epstein’s criminality was known for decades. Accusations have been leveled at him, as with Drumpf, for decades. The appetite to prosecute was never there, until Drumpf was elected. It doesn’t take a genius, Alex Jones is no genius.

Pacino Heat 😁 I was trying to say that it doesn’t take a genius to suspect that the number of accusations of pedophilia and/ or sexual abuse, etc. directed at guys like Epstein, Drumpf etc., is likely true. Alex Jones is no genius (nor did he have to be) to put two and two together, so to speak. I guess I tried to summarise this because I knew what I meant, but of course no-one else can read my mind. I just need to be more explanatory.

And sex appeal!

Alex Corll He is a completely out of touch, elitist schmuck. He blamed the entire Midwest for the results of an election, criticizing people that did not vote in 2016 or voted for Donald Trump strictly in protest of career criminal politician Hillary Clinton, he blamed people who lost their fucking jobs in manufacturing for choosing a candidate who wanted to create more manufacturing jobs over one who wanted to cut them. I wish I was as morally superior as Jeff Daniels, I wish I had supported a woman who profited at the expense of poor Haitians, laughed when the child rapist she defended beat a polygraph and was cleared of a rape charge, whose failed foreign policy in Libya led to Americans being murdered which she in then lied about, who terrorized her husbands sexual assault victims, takes six figure speeches on Wall Street where she stresses the importance of having public and private stances on the same issue, intentionally mishandled classified information, and exchanged political favors for cash under the front of a phony foundation. Jeff Daniels hasn’t lost touch?? Are you fucking serious? Holy shit........

But he doesn't live in the bubble lol. He's lived in Michigan for the last several decades. That's why he hasn't lost touch.

No, you did not understand him. He really does not know enough - he said he knows what he wants and does not want, he knows why, he can argument that, he is decent - but that is not nearly as enough. If one is to run for a political position the MAIN think that he/she needs to know is how the system works so that they could get SOME things that they want, done. It is NOT a world where nice ideas win you what you want - it is a double crossing hell of political end economic interests, shifting loyalties and shameless lying. If you want to get even the simplest thing done, you need to know by heart how the system works. And that is the fear I have (even though I am not an American) - Lizz and Bernie have very good ideas, and given the fact that they are in various offices for quite some time, I guess they know the system well enough to MAYBE get 10% of their ideas come into life. Because, that is the best they can hope for - political system is inert and it would take generations to come to the point where ideas like theirs could be done to the full. I am not afraid because they will, maybe, manage to get 10% done - that is a HUGE thing for US right now. I am afraid that ideologically blinded and optimistic will see that 10% as a defeat instead of victory. Why? Because that is the exact same thing that happened to Obama. He came with nice talks of change, but once faced with political system, he could barely get anything done. He started pushing in the right direction but people saw it as not enough, a defeat, they wanted it all right there and now, within those 8 years. The moment they saw it ain't comin', they voted for a different type of person. Politics, especially in USA, is an incremental thing, moves very slowly. And the ideological blindness is what will keep US down - people wanting things done right now and if not, it is a defeat, then switching up in the next terms, always going one step forward one step back - while the rest of the world, especially dictatorial countries that are the main enemy (China and Russia) are driving an obstacle free highway behind a single idea. That whole current US mentality that comes with the newer generations, "I want it NOW!" is what will keep the country down. You can't get it now, radical changes take generations to build but years to destroy.

agreed, I think a willingness to learn, integrity, admitting You Don't Know something, are qualities that make anyone a formidable leader

It's not hard to know more than half the politicians in government. It's also not hard to have WAY more common sense than the ones who are smart. I am not slow by any means, but I know a guy who could make me look like an infant with crayons by comparison on tests. If you knew him in real life though, you'd wonder how the hell he doesn't require a legal guardian with him at all times for how stupid and gullible he is.

Robert Cartier Under no circumstances is it enough to be a decent human being. you HAVE to have intellectual capabilities, knowledge and understanding of the world and to know the basics about politics to get things done.

@pammens miss Would you mind telling me (or us) what you comment has to do with either what OP said or what I said?

Compensate to Automate! Yang2020

I'm from Michigan as well but I can't speak for the whole state, only myself. To me, empty promises are still empty. No president can bring manufacturing jobs back. It makes no sense to corporate america at all. Things need to be made well for as little money as possible because we are a consumer driven economy and society. And our country is a part of the world and the world economy. It makes no sense to buy a product at twice the price. Think of it as organic food that costs twice the price or more. Who buys it? A large segment of the population? No. Organic food is a niche market still because of the cost. And Americans are already in debt up to their eyeballs. Things which cost more won't make their lives better. Cars which cost more they can't buy. It just adds to their pile of debt. We aren't in a sustainable economy. It's going to fall apart. So what we need in politicians aren't conmen. We need real human beings who will try and help us the best they can. Who will try and make government responsive to the needs of the 90% and not the 10%. The 10% own all the stocks. They control Wall Street. The 90% own a small portion of the total stocks. They get by, month to month, year to year. And the only thing they can do is turn out and vote to remove the current occupant of the White House. Because any of the democratic candidates are better than him. Those 87,000 that voted for democrats and left the presidential ballot blank gave us Trump. Clinton on her worst day in office would have been far better for the country and the state of Michigan than Trump. She would have created a professional working cabinet. She wouldn't have spent 60% of her day watching Fox News and tweeting. She wouldn't have turned the CBP and ICE into the gestapo. She wouldn't have tried to destroy the ACA to create millions of uninsured. She wouldn't have insulted our allies and embraced Putin. She wouldn't have started needless trade wars with our largest trading partners and threatening others. This is a zero sum game. If you reelect Trump then you will have zero sums in your bank account eventually because he is bankrupting the country. We've coasted off of the efforts of the democrats in 2009 which started a long lasting recovery. Only 3 republicans voted for ARRA. That was at a time when we had a minus 9 GDP and were losing 800,000 jobs a month. Now our unemployment rate is less than 4% and thanks to Trump and republicans in congress our deficit this year will be more than double what it was only 4 years ago. Obama and the democrats inherited a messed up economy and did something to help the American people. TARP reestablished banking stability. ARRA started the recovery. ACA brought insurance to millions who didn't have it and needed it. They spent their political capital on these things to benefit the average person. Trump and the GOP spent their political capital on a huge tax cut for billionaires and millionaires which increased our deficit by at least 150 billion a year. They called it a jobs bill when job growth per month under Trump since then has been less than it was per month under Obama in 2015. And the increase in our GDP was less than half of a percentage point. That's 1.5 trillion in cost for less job growth and a GDP boost less than a half percent. So I plead with all Americans. Please remove Trump from office. Vote for the democratic nominee. They may not be great but they will be better for our country than Trump. He is the American Caligula and he is as much a traitor to this country as Benedict Arnold was.

So the WHOLE country has to suffer because a few people felt this way...sounds fair. She WON by 2 million votes.

@@ksteiger if by mindless liberal idiot you mean advocate for appealing to the voters who decided the last election and will decide the next then I think you're wrong.

Don't go backwards, go forward. Many countries and many areas have been through losing manufacturing. You need to find new areas to make money because competitors will move, produce cheaper and take over market share, so you'll be out of a job either way.

Manufacturing of almost any stripe has to go through environmental permitting with the general understanding, dependent on the type of manufacturing, that they will have emissions of some nature. I understand you desiring a clean environment and most importantly jobs - but you need an understandable medium. If it's too expensive over environmental expectations, the manufacturing, and the jobs, go somewhere else.

Manufacturers were screwed. 100%. But if you look at the data, most of those jobs are lost forever. Automation is here to stay. The reason why I support Andrew Yang is because not only does he recognize the problem, but he has proposed solutions to them. Real, 21st century solutions. That go way beyond just his UBI proposal.

Look into Andrew Yang

Yep. What Jeff Daniels was saying is 100% correct. Andrew Yang deserves the Dem nomination because as Jeff said “Talk to the people of Michigan who lost manufacturing jobs” Yang does, and went two steps further. He’s correctly identified automation as the source, and has solutions tailored to it. The progressive movement has a lot of energy in America socially, but not so much when they’re talking about market realities. The reality is automation is going to end manual labour in advanced countries inside of this next generation. Period. If progressives can’t keep their eyes on that ball, it doesn’t matter if you’re the most morally righteous person in the world. The US and the rest of the developed world are going through a technological revolution that will make the upheaval of the industrial revolution seem like a cakewalk.

The US won't survive automation if they don't provide better access to higher education.

I agree that automation is a big problem, but if our only solution is UBI, then we’re back to feudalism. We cannot give up that easily.

Higher education is great but a lot of those white collar jobs that a college education provides are also subject to automation. We need to get more people into trade schools and certificate programs. The younger generation has been sold a lie that college is the only path to success which is why we have people with degrees and a pile of debt working part time at Starbucks. It's not just the art history majors either.

Yang wants to get rid of the entire welfare system that alot of these people are reliant on. Yang is for the shareholders as much as Trump is my dude.

@@christopherstewart3998 Here's the thing: the current welfare systems that are in place have too much bureaucratic red tape that you need to go through just to receive the benefits. Couple that with the fact that if you get a job again and the gov't finds out that you can financially support yourself or your family again, the benefits will be cut for most of those programs. The pre-conditions are not attractive and does not give the individual a sense of optimism for the future. On the other hand, the Freedom Dividend is given to you NO MATTER YOUR ECONOMIC SITUATION. Sick, healthy, poor, rich, jobless, job... You will (in theory) always receive the $1,000 just for being a citizen of the US; a RIGHT. PLUS: you still come out ahead if you decide to opt-in to the FD, AND it will stack with SSDI; essentially an add on for social security. It's a win-win for the economy and the individual, able to take off the existential and economic stress of those that are just struggling to get by. As to your second question, Yang is not funded by any corporation or Super PACS. He is simply getting by (and I would argue) rising simply on the donations of individuals who see that he is not a charlatan like Trump. The only reason why he is running for president is because of the problems that we are dealing with now, as well as what he foresees if we do not alter our trajectory. The Freedom Dividend is a response to the coming wave of automation and AI that will eradicate the jobs that most people take for granted. What good is a $15 minimum wage or tax cuts to the rich when the every day American can not find a job? He is not concerned with shareholders like Trump: He is concerned about the future of t(his) country, and unlike the other Democrats that are running, he has ideas and solutions that can bring America to a new future in the 21st century. I would hope you can learn a little bit more about him if you haven't already and really dig deep into his broader vision for the country, and I hope my comment was a sufficient response. :) #Yang2020 #YangGang

I think that's what he was implying. You don't necessarily have to lie and say you will/can bring back the old jobs (as he says Trump did). However you do need to talk to them. Give them alternatives (like what you describe above). At least let them know they're not forgotten and just looked down on as a statistic that doesn't matter because 'it's business'. That there is some sort of future for them or their kids.
