Dreyfuss talks sanctuary cities ruling, importance of civics with Tucker Carlson
This might be my most favorite 7 mins of FNC ever: Dreyfuss talks sanctuary cities ruling, importance of civics, the preamble of the Constitution.
"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." -- Justice Janice Rogers Brown

Didn't expect that coming from a Hollywood personality.

Wow, very impressed with Mr. Dreyfuss. And a sincere thank you to him for taking the time, and more especially having the desire, to speak about this.

I also saw that last night and was very pleasantly surprised. Mr. Dreyfuss was spot on in his comments.

It's extremely refreshing, almost intoxicating, to hear anyone speak that way isn't it? Most especially when it's from an actor since we so rarely see any kind of grounded speech at all from that segment of society.
Richard Dreyfuss, who'da thunk it?

I actually remember him saying similar things years ago on I think Bill Mahers show about the death of civics in the US and the repercussions of an uninformed populace.

Fifty years ago I had dreams of becoming a civics teacher. It didn't turn out and I am glad, but I have tried to "teach" civics and history every day since.

Well, he's wrong about one thing. I had civics in 1980. It was required for graduation. Other than that though, yeah... great segment and I was really impressed with his take on things.
I've seen him several other times being interviewed on FNC (O'Reilly as I recall) and he wasn't nearly as squared away as he was here. It's refreshing to see that perhaps leftists are coming around to reality.

I must say, I was very pleasantly surprised by his comments. Very nicely put.
