      Unfortunately, he recently lost his eldest son and much earlier he lost
      a young son.🥲

    Thank you for your wonderful speech. But more importantly thank you for your body of work in the creative arts, the environment. social and political consciousness, and in your preservation of the Provo North Fork. Congratulations Charlie on finally receiving that degree which represents your very rich lifetime of work and service. M

Of course too many words...bla bla .have not been on the net for cirka 20yrs I felt so bad 2 comments,and Iulled an all nighter..just to pray homage to my great American hero, who onired me to do my art! On this lemon that I cannot turn off the thesaurus and makes me sound like an idiot. Wellno matter now there is 31 comments...probably while I was writing my book! Robert Redford deserves some respect for all he has done...My finger are now numb. We grew up on the same town, every word rang true in my heart. thank You for all that you have done, and thank me too..Luv from Denmark

    I thank you for this speech, Mr. Redford. I respect what you said. I viewed politics as you did. I thought too that politics was also boring and I too began paying attention as to what's going on in the world. Now, I turn away from politics because of the mess were in. Politics is at it's worst. We can't escape politics, no matter how we try. It's in everything we are associated with. But in the end, "GOD", will have the last word. Don't you think? God Bless You!!

    Redford could have easily done a lot more by going for a political career, but he chose to stay true to himself, do his own thing and try to bring about changes for the better his own way. Thank you so much for this upload!

      I don't know, politics seems a waste mostly. Our system rewards crooks such as almost all serving in congress and contributes to the a widening gap between the rich and poor and the disappearance of the middle class.

      It's a T. S. Eliot's quote and Redford mentioned it at 19:50.

    Tisch graduates, you made it. And you’re f*cked. Think about that. The graduates from the college of nursing? They all have jobs. The graduates from the college of dentistry? Fully employed. The Leonard N. Stern school of business graduates? They’re covered. The school of medicine graduates? Each one will get a job. The proud graduates of the NY school of law? They’re covered. And if they’re not, who cares? They’re lawyers. The English majors are not a factor. They’ll be home writing their novels. The teachers, they’ll all be working. Sh*tty jobs, lousy pay. But they’ll be working. The graduates in accounting? They all have jobs. Where does that leave you, envious of those accountants? I doubt it. They had a choice. Maybe they were passionate about accounting, but I think it’s more likely that they used reason and logic and common sense to reach for a career that could give the expectation of success and stability. Reason, logic, common sense … at the Tisch School of Arts … are you kidding me? You discovered a talent, developed an ambition, and recognized your passion. When you feel that you can’t fight it, you just go for it. When it comes to the arts, passion should always trump common sense … yeah, you’re f***ed. The good news is, that’s not a bad place to start … How do you cope with it? I hear that Valium and Vicodin work.”

      It's always good to be a liberal when you've got 20 million dollars in the bank.
      It's always good to be a liberal when you've got maids, gardeners, au pair- nannies.
      I've dealt with these wackos on a daily basis for twenty years. They are self-righteous pricks. They have wives who allow nannies to raise their children. The women
      have Golden Retrievers for pets and are totally useless for anything more than looking good and sex.

      Are they made in America or China.? The whole solar industry was financed by the Feds during the 'recovery' but almost all those factories have since gone bankrupt and been bought by the Chinese for ten cents on the dollar. It's been mostly a scam by the Feds to appease the vegetarian wackos and ultimately enrich China..
      I understand. It's about treason. It's not about solar panels or vegetarian hamburgers. It's about the government of the US daily committing treason against it's own citizens. They don't care about you or me. They only care twice.{ Once when election time comes-} {twice, when they want your sons to die in a war} Other than that we are just the North American market..

      What's that got to do with treason. I grew up in the '60s. The average man worked a job and his wife stayed home and sold Tupperware for extra cash. His son went to college, which the parents could afford.Now both work 50 hours a week and college costs 250 thousand dollars. So, since there aren't enough qualified workers they import workers from India with fake degrees- bought by their families from Bombay University for a few thousand dollars. That's TREASON.

      Exactly! BRAVO! We may have found one that can see? That 100% fake, made from scratch so called "RR" char-actor puppet is one of the most vile, ultra hideous, bald faced, non stop lying+deceiving, 100% un-identified, creepy, massively testosterone saturated+addicted drag-king multi char-actor puppet witches of all time! Right up there running neck and neck with that other 100% un-identified made from scratch, ultra creepy, drag-king multi char-actor puppet witch Billion Gates/Michael Fat Suit Moore/Woody Allen etc etc etc! Funny she has never once even mentioned or ever received any wacko fakery awards or any fake as furk honorary degrees for her absolutely duncified 100% fake US presidential puppet roles of the 2 made from scratch fake char-actor puppets JFK+Jimmy Carter! Must be that the ole granny dementia has really hit her hard and she just forgot huh? Makes ya just want to VOMIT when you see these non stop lying twisted witches still willfully lying+deceiving when they are that old and still reading those evil scripts and doing exactly what they are told for the greatest evil twisted circus sideshow on earth!
