- Sarah Silverman visits the Michelis, a conservative Mormon family in Wyoming, to talk Trump, fracking and guns over dinner.

"I Love You, America," a Hulu Original Series.
From inciting treason to telling poop jokes, Sarah Silverman has created her fair share of online chatter. With "I Love You, America," she's looking to connect with people who may not agree with her personal opinions through honesty, humor, genuine interest in others, and not taking herself too seriously. While it's great to connect with like-minded people, Silverman feels it's crucial, now more than ever, to connect with un-like-minded people.

The wife is powerfully uncomfortable with this.
she's one pissed off mormon !!!
Yeah... Her husband was pretty bad. :(
@TheTruthIsRacist about how everyone feels when you come into a home
She gives me Cersei vibes.
@thetruthisracist - Agreed, Sarah Huckabee Sanders is an unfunny piece of shit.
The mom wasn’t having Sarah
Yeah, IDK why she put up such a wall to SS.
Yep. She was so rude!
I don't think she liked having Sarah around the men-folk.
She probably felt threatened by having a free thinker nearby. It takes a lot of strength to be a free and independent thinker.
I think she's probably just jealous that she can't voice her own political opinions like Sarah can.
The wife wasn't happy at all. He should have used another one of his wives for filming.
What an oddly negative and prejudiced assumption.
OMG LMAO!!! I'm dead 😂😂😂😂😂
CALife I agree
Haaa
Are u tolerant with Muslim culture
Pretty sure that the Mom hated Sarah. lol
Hm, not hate, afraid. I think she is a smart woman, who has to push away a lot of outside thoughts and influence to keep that mental Jenga going in her head. If she were to change, where would she go? Her husband is in charge of the family, she can't question him or won't get into heaven, look it up - tenant of Mormonism, she may not see her children again. Fear, greater motivator than love.
Yokie Miller I know all that. I put lol. I was just referring to the glare she gave Sarah at one point. I get the underneath, trust me.
Giovanna Greeff Thanks for sharing. As I just replied to Yokie Miller I was just referring to that glare she gave Sarah at one point in the clip. It gave me a smile, not in a mean way. I understand the workings of almost every religion. It's something I study ad-nauseam, although there is nothing like first hand experience.
In this instance, and this is just my opinion, Sarah was being humorous, or I guess a bit sarcastic which can upset people when something is serious to them. The show is going to have lots of that approach because, well, let's face it she's a comedian. Unlike many others watching I do think she wants to hear these other views and I don't think she is out to change anyone, she's only out to have a dialog and communicate with those of differing views.
@@giovannagreeff2153 No thanks for the info on the Store house. I never knew about that and love learning about different parts of different cultures and religions.
Guys, I think the mom has some sort of nerve disorder that causes uncontrollable movements in her lips--I'm serious. Look at 2:55 it looks like she is muttering something to herself and then she does it again at the dinner table. I personally don't think the mom is angry with Sarah at all, it can just be a bit overwhelming to be on national television when you're accustomed to such a low-key lifestyle. Just my two cents.
Mom looks like she has lots to say but won’t say it
I absolutely agree. So many of the commentators have painted her as an "ice queen" and wanting nothing to do with Sarah, but my feeling was that she had a lot she could have said but felt restricted somehow. When the talk was about going on the missions, it seemed that she was disappointed that women were not valued in this role as much as the men were. There was a lot going on inside that woman, a real struggle between feelings. To me, that made her the most interesting person there.
Member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints here. I am active in my faith but hold some fairly so-called liberal views. I believe that we would do well to have some common-sense gun laws, I cannot fathom why gay marriage should be illegal (such a thing is not only unconstitutional but really unconscionable to me), and I cannot stand Trump or the current administration. I just thought I would chime in to show that latter-day saints are a diverse lot
Yay another member of the restored Church of Jesus Christ that shares my ideals. I thought the majority were conservatives and am always afraid to share my political values when the conversation turns towards such topics.
I share those values you've listed, and I'm a lifelong member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. You're not alone!
That's a shame, the conservative views of many Mormons is what I like about them.
Liberal Mormons are the best. (Exmormon here.)
You and every Mormon I've met in real life. Bless you all, I'm sorry you get put in a box in the media.
The moms facial expressions....omg....I hope she's nicer and more friendly on the inside....
Fear. Look at the place for woman in Mormon religion...it ain't a good place.
She's not. She is closed and judgmental. I am so glad I was allowed to explore different religions, and realize how inconsistant and manipulative most of them are. Don't live in fear people.
Kris K-os were you a Mormon?
Most of whom are manipulative, now? Mormons?
She seems either scared or genuinely quiet, like she's not supposed to say anything. I don't think she's mean.
Sarah handles it so well. I love these videos of her visiting families. In the end it's not really about politics at all, it's just about showing a friendly face to the other side, and both sides are just trying their best. Leave the screaming matches to twitter.
Could not agree more.
Could not disagree less. ...they are real consequences occurring that we won't be able to reverse, enough of this partisan bullshit
Treating politics as a football match clearly hasn't done the US any favors. Sarah's going for a different approach.
You feel politics have been treated like a football match?? ....Well good news, when you have facts, there's no game to be played
And how has that been working out. Like Sarah has said before, many people don't listen to facts, they lead with emotion. I wish it wasn't like that either, but that's the way it is
That Ashby lady is a freakin ice queen
@Jackie Treehorn. How would you know what she's like in bed, and why does your mind go there? Her grimaces appear to be from discomfort, from wanting to speak but not able to. Maybe she disagrees with some of her family, but doesn't dare speak out for fear of repercussions. Maybe it's unnerving to have a camera crew and celebrity in her home, asking pointed questions about their life and their politicial views.
what does an ice queen mean?
Ice queen is someone who comes off as cold, intimidating. It doesn't have to do with how someone is in bed 😂
Whole Shebang That’s what I thought! Having two grandfathers who were Republicans, I never heard my grandmothers talk politics and since confirmed they were Democrats. I have a feeling if she actually spoke her own mind, it would anger her family.
@@wholeshebang1 uh, that you thought he meant "in bed" says a LOT more about you than it does about him........
literally no one thinks "ice queen" means "frigid" but you
That mom looked like she was about to go for Sarah's throat in the kitchen. She looked like she was mouthing a prayer to keep from doing it. I love Sarah!
a Mormon prayer
The little girl was convinced she was a princess Hahah
But she kind of is because she is the voice for vonellope von schweetz from Wreck-it-ralph. That character is also kind of made in her likeness.
@@jameslongstaff2762 maybe the little girl will see Wreck It Ralph 2 and realize that
It was super cute!!
It was really sweet :-D
Just goes to show how easily impressionable and trusting humans are during their youngest years. I hope that she looks back on this in the future and sees the comparison in how easily she believed in Sarah being a princess to the belief in being a Mormon. Just because she was raised Mormon doesn’t mean that any of its values or systems hold true.
I grew up in a Mormon family. JUST like this. The repression is palpable. I’m sad to say, Sarah might as well be talking to the cows.
That heavy set white woman was looking angry and bitter. Like she couldn’t wait for her to Leave!
What an oddly negative comment.
Yes. She looked very unwelcoming, to say the least.
Literally every person is this video is white.
YOU wanna have Silverman over? come on, wacker! she chafes anywhere, everywhere.
Marilyn Jones why do you mention her race?. Can't she just be a heavy set woman (which she isn't)?
Well this was about as enlightening as the list of ingredients on a bag of sugar
serpico18 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
It's not about enlightening, it's about uniting. We need more of this.
Yeah really, I didn't really learn much from this lol only confirmed people are way too judgemental. I thought they seemed like a nice family, wary, a little ignorant but I'm seeing comments that are basically like "jesus would be ashamed of this family!" ....why? Of course the moms gonna put up a wall! A comedian that she would never allow her children to watch is in her home, I thought they were as polite as they could handle with an outsider coming into their small town life.
not enlightening ? so you already know how a calm, caring, generous conversation goes between very conservative people and very liberal people? do tell where i can see this.
I love that Sarah Silverman is doing this. Instead of adding to the division, she's visiting people with opposing views and treating them with respect. Our country needs unity, not division. And this is what it looks like. To those who say they didn't get anywhere - it's not about agreeing. It's about kindness, respect, and unity.
Not even a Silverman fan but respect her for this. Well done.
I think she hides behind immature potty mouth humor that got her in the boys club as a necessity to move her career forward. But, those days are over. She seems to be owning who she is and shaking that off. This is brave, forward thinking, stuff she's doing now. I never cared for her before, but understood why. Glad to see her coming into her own.
Yeah, like...HELP!
check out her video where he goes to Lousiana
You should check out the one where she goes to Chlamette, Louisiana
It's a lot hard to caricature people when you're looking into their eyes, eating dinner with their children.
Kid in the green shirt... People said the same thing about seat belts. Too much government and people won’t wear seatbelts anyway so might as well not have them.
Also… If Hillary was president and did a quarter of the things Trump and this administration have done, conservatives, Republicans and conservative media would be losing their frick’n minds!
People would lose their minds if Hillary improved the economy etc?
It would be surprising but I don't think they would lose their minds.
And what are your predictions worth anyway? Leftists said Trump supporters would go crazy if he lost, only to go crazy and lose their minds themselves.
Zero self reflection.

This isn’t a great economy. We are living in an economic bubble. What you see on the surface is not an indicator of what’s really going on. Do some research! It doesn’t shock me that you know nothing about the actual economy- stagnant wages, massive inflation, people with minimum wage or no jobs who previously had full time good paying jobs, the 1%ers doing stock buybacks making Wall Street falsely look good, instead of trickling down their $61,000 each sweet deal permanent tax cuts that only affect the top 8% of the richest people in the country, while our temporary tax cuts are ridiculously insignificant and our taxes will steadily increase for the next 10 years, the epidemic of people going bankrupt due to student and other debt, medical bankruptcies and the imminent financial crisis we are headed to. Don’t worry... We don’t have high expectations from a FauxNews consuming mama’s boy basement dwelling low IQ troll. Don’t forget mom said- put the wash in the dryer since you’re down there.
Prove me wrong that you’re not a troll.
That’s what I thought.
m1nt3a
I have no idea what you’re talking about. You’re not making sense.
m1nt3a
I knew you were referring to that portion of my comment. Stop projecting ignorance.
I was only confused because nothing you said made any sense. Yes, I do think I was making a point. A damn good one. It just went way over your head, unlike all the other people in this comment section and those that liked my comment. My point is this. You said- liberals, Republicans and liberal media lose their minds when Trump/admin does something they see as bad. That didn’t make sense because NO Republicans comment about anything he says/does wrong, much less lose their minds over it! “You’re just circle jerking with out trump haters who are too stupid to realize that not every Anti-trump comment brings up a valid point.” AGAIN... Makes no sense! My original point is that Obama did small things that didn’t desecrate the office every day like trump’s doing and right wing media would talk about that thing for weeks at a time. Yet when Trump does something horrific, not a single Republican says a word. If you see liberals getting mad for things that Trump says and does every single day and you say “it’s not that big of a deal,” ask yourself this. If Obama or Hillary were in office, would you be OK with them doing and saying everything Trump is doing and saying? For example (Hillary) having MSNBC talk about how wonderful she is 24/7 and their hosts gave her advice every day on how to run the country. Hilary talked on a private but secure server and is still persecuted over it to this day. There was NO hacking of her emails! Trump is currently talking on a non-secure cell phone every day and homeland security has tracked Russian and Chinese hacking into the phone. Again, not a peep from the right. If you say you wouldn’t mind someone on the left doing everything Trump is doing, you are lying to yourself.
We need more unity like this and less division like...well you know who.
I'm Mormon and I really enjoyed watching this. I felt like Silverman put out was respectful of who they were and their lifestyle and she also brought out issues that cultivated good discussion.
Agreed and I'm a Catholic Democrat. See, we just agreed on something, progress!
And I'm an atheist Independent and agree with both of you!
2:30 that looks like THE MOST UNCOMFORTABLE cheese grater in existence.
she wants to grind poor sarah ............
"grinder" ..that would be a grater. It is what every kitchen has in it..if you do any serious cooking. They are not wealthy people, if they are it has gone into something other than their home.
@@yokie52 sorry, English is not my native language. Any cheap non-conic grater (like the ones we use in the kitchens of my poor and third world country) would provide a much better grating experience. It was just a joke on the thing itself, chillax.
hipocloritodecalcio
I noticed that ridiculous cheese grater too! 😄
I have avoided this show because I thought it would be filled with awkward, uncomfortable, even cring-worthy moments in every interview with the opposition. But having seen this... Sarah has a very disarming demeanor. She confronts staunch opposition to a liberal view, but navigates it with civility and engages in a calm discussion, not a shouting match... which is kind of what I was expecting. I'll be watching more! Way to be, Sarah! This country desperately needs someone who can speak effectively to both sides!
Calm down shes only human
"company.........ugh, i meant, country" lmaoooooooooooo
Why even make murder illegal? People still murder, so what's the point?
I like to see people with different views come together peacefully and conversate & not try to be "right" or change a persons beliefs. Gives me hope for this country.
I think she should have pushed back more on the assumption that all governments are innately wasteful. If u think your govt is wasteful, get more involved and hold your officials to account, dont just cynically dismiss the role of gov't. That kind of cynicism only allows for more corruption and less accountability.
Collin Blair if someone is given less money, they’re forced to be more efficient.
Not true. I have friends with millions of dollars that can account for every penny and couldn't be more efficient with their wealth. I also have friends with less money, who couldn't be more reckless and wasteful. Less doesn't make someone more efficient. Being efficient makes someone more efficient.
" If u think your govt is wasteful, get more involved and hold your officials to account"
That makes no sense. Once they're elected you lost the ability to hold them to account. You have to have the power to de-fund them AND to fire them NON-STOP. That power can't be removed or accountability is gone. Can you de-fund them? NO. Taxes are ENFORCED USING GUNS. Can you fire them? NO, they are solidly protected until the next election.
Ian Lin Yes, I too would recommend holding officials accountable through elections. That and organizing with other people to influence the govt. If you think that doesn't work and you should give up, you're part of the problem.
This show looks so damn wholesome. This is what we need in this country right now. Bridging divides.
I love that they even sat down together.
A depressing amount of hate coming in for such a nice family
I'm curious why the mother had virtually nothing to say the entire time. Maybe she and her daughters believe they should be seen and not heard.
@@giovannagreeff2153, I respectfully disagree that the reason for the fast was about Kavanaugh. First off, so you dont misunderstand, I am a LDS but was appalled with Kavanaugh being confirmed. The way he acted during his testimony, the lies, not to mention the likely assault, bbrrrg. That said, fasting from social media has been mentioned at many conferences and multiple times by church leaders.
Also, I guaran-damn-tee you my wife would not be afraid to speak up. She has a fire to her and I love it. I like to think our marriage is egalitarian, at least overall (there are certainly times when I am busy and she does more or when she is busy and I do more). I just dont want people to think this is the type of marriages that all members of the church have. Just my two cents
Keifer Weiland but this time it was women who were asked to go on social media fast, not men.
You're right that not all LDS marriages are unequal in say and that there are some like yours, but on the whole, women let the man speak for them.
Giovanna Greeff wow. And I thought being Catholic was tough
Because Mormon women are expected to submit to their husbands. They don't have a voice.
Nope, nope. Not true. Do not interpret someone's personality on an edited tv show as evidence of how women in a church are "expected" to behave. As a female member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints myself, I would leave it tomorrow if I was expected to submit to my husband. Not one woman in my life (mother, mother-in-law, sisters in law, friends, etc) feels that they are anything other than an equal partner in their marriage. If a married couple in our church is not practicing a loving, supportive, equally yoked partnership, then they are not in line with the teachings of the church. End of story. That being said, I do not agree with this family. Most members of the LDS church that I know who are conservative Republicans do NOT support Trump. He is an egotistical tyrant and we pray for the day he is no longer in office.
the mom was so much more uptight than everyone else.
Its the Mormonism.
You're a lawyer for the environment right? But are you a good witch or a bad witch. SOOOOO PERFECT!!!!!!!!!!!!
man that mom wanted nothing to do with this
Sarah is reeking of over-trying but I imagine in this situation you dial it to 11 in order to exude friendliness. but wow, it was thick. still, premise is solid, and I commend everyone for participating. we need more of this! I will probably watch this.
To break the ice she shows the family that she is a human being and extends herself to assure them that she is not a scary "other," but a good person who is a liberal. Perhaps the younger ones will start using their critical thinking skills after meeting her...
What an oddly prejudiced assumption.
Notice how the men were almost always answering the questions
Thanks Sarah, this is awesome x love from Australia x
Yes, Sarah...come to Chile!!!!
That mom doesn’t like that Sarah’s inconvenient truths invade her entire worldview that’s been bred over generations. Not her fault. It’s easier to stay comfortable versus uproot generations of a certain culture. Sarah was so funny when she’s like “I broke you” 😂 she did try.
Because they invade*
There are often stories like this on TV and in print where liberals try to get to know and communicate with conservatives. I've never seen or read anything where a conservative entertainer, writer etc. has tried to get to know and understand liberals. Keep up the good work.
*_earnestly_* tried to understand, lol
"Liberals don't understand" The man said that as Sarah was listening to him, trying to understand. classic
There are studies showing that conservatives actually understand liberals better than liberals understand conservatives. So maybe that's why liberals need the extra work.
Maybe TIM Allen could go visit a family in New York or California
@@bigfan1041 let's not make sweeping generalizations about one sector of the population based on "studies. There are educated progressives. There are educated conservatives. I just appreciate that here, there is a civil conversation. It's a relief from the venom. Big deep breath.
"...and what's best for the company."
So, so, so much truth in that Freudian slip. So much Sarah. You are absolutely right.
God bless her for trying to undo some of the damage Trump has done - reviving a national conversation.
I am of the same faith as the host family and yes I agree I'm not big on Trump talk or ethics. As far as Russia goes, if he plotted with them then by all means Lock Him Up.
@Taiwan92Abarth: Get help, fast.
Trump 2020
Why do you think Jews like Silverman are obsessed with Russian meddling in US politics yet ignore Israeli meddling?
Well because we never did anything about guns we can't do anything about guns...
You can't magically make guns vanish which already are out there, nor are smuggled, nor are made with 3D printers (even the AR-15 njow can be made this way). Laws are for punishment after the fact. NOT for prevention.
Yes you can, Australia is a wonderful case study. Turns out if you offer 1000 cash for any firearm somebody has a LOT of people get a LOT less passionate about gun ownership. Homebody in the hood with a shitty beretta from the 80's starts thinking "Shit, Red Dead Redemption 2 just came out".
@@adammacleod925 America has more guns than people. We have around 600 million guns in circulation and hundreds of thousands more being sold each year. Where in the fuck would you get the money to buy them back? and second, I would never sell my guns to the government for any price, how will you deal with the thousands just like me?
@@adammacleod925 exactly! Additional to that, about 1/3rd of Australian newly illegal guns weren't handed in, but they vanished just the same! People knew that if they were seen, they would be confiscated & so from the day of the ban, they were never seen again!
(except for a later amnesty for those who had initially refused but later decided they really wanted to get rid of them, that made sure those guns found their way into safe hands instead of dangerous dumping)
You don't need to collect the guns to make them vanish, just make it clear they will be collected if ever seen or used in public
Law abiding gun owners don't typically sell their guns to the Government, because they own them for reasons beyond stupidity, such as hunting. The guy who doesn't have a license for his gun, knows it's illegal and has it stuffed in his closet because he's had them in the house forever, is going to say fuck it and sell the gun. The kid who wants money to eat this month but has some shitty old revolver he got on the streets 6 months ago, is going to sell the gun. Instead of making up fucking excuses so you can keep your guns for fun while children get splattered on the fucking floor daily in your shiteous nation, why don't you idiots at least TRY to fucking stop the violence. If you put an ounce of effort into getting rid of your gun problem as you would say, stopping terrorists worldwide, far less Americans would be dead as fuck every year. As for people like you? Well if you didn't want to give up your guns I'd send a fucking swat team into your house at 4am. See if your dumbass in his tightie whities can do anything with your AR-15 when you have 8 fully armed men bust into your room after tossing a flashbang. Fuck Americans can be pretty fucking stupid. Your guns aren't protecting you from Government ANYTHING. They're not fucking muskets anymore.
Sarah, you’re amazing. Keep it up.
As a liberal Democrat and a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, I loved this episode and I love this show! Always been a huge fan of Sarah Silverman!
Family seems nice, but oooh look at that hate in Ashby's eyes every time she 'inspects the jew' sitting next to her. Brainwashed or not, I'm thankful I don't have to fill my heart with hate to love myself.
What kind of wacky assumption is that? She just seemed awkward.
@@jgbgw591 must be nice
Saying someone is a "tough nut to crack" to me is a nice way of saying "this person is an asshole." LOL.
Honestly I don't think that she was antisemitic, she just hates any and all "liberals," ESPECIALLY if they are celebrities. I have met women exactly like Ashby. They are closed off and suspicious of anything that strikes them as "different."
I used to be a Mormon and lived around them for most of my younger life. I even lived in that exact town (Ft. Bridger, Wyoming) for a few years in my 20s. I can tell you that Mormons aren't antisemitic as a class. I think you should replace that word "jew" with the word "liberal".
Oh Sarah, fracking is really quite dangerous. Look up Food and Water Watch, Riverkeeper, and the Gasland documentaries to start. Pollution to water cannot be undone. We don't need fracking to meet our energy needs.
I would assume she agrees with you. Why do you think she endorses fracking?
Sarah said it was safe when done right, its not safe at all.
She knows that, Kit... how long and how far would she get with these folks if she got her soap box out and proceeded to lecture them in their own home?
Fracking is not particularly dangerous at all. Educate yourself.
Do you know the massive scale of which we have fracked in this country? Tens of thousands of wells have been drilled and fracked and put into production without damage or adverse affects to the water supply. That is the single BIGGEST misconception out there. These formations and reservoirs we frac are literally THOUSANDS of feet BELOW the water table. The risk to the water supply is an nth degree. Very very small chance of a localized spill.
And we absolutely DO need fracking *right now* for our energy needs. With OPEC controlling oil reserves and Russia controlling gas, we had no choice but to become more energy independent. It adds to our economy: Americans working on American land producing American oil and gas for American consumption. Period.
Dude, the subtle looks on their faces were gut wrenching.
Fracking is important. Try even owning a cell phone without gas and oil.
"But how many birds..."
"You guys shoot birds"
REKT
i’m a left texan, and i often try to have these kind of conversations with my family but it can be really freaking hard. i love seeing an example of different kinds of Americans willing to sit down and talk like this, even if no one’s mind ends up changed.
Just explain that if they go far enough left, not only do they get MORE freedoms, they also get their guns back.
Much appreciated
Thank you Sarah for caring and talking to everyone
all i know is that whenever i’ve met a Mormon irl, they’ve been one of the nicest people i’ve ever met.
This family seemed so lovely. I'm glad that Sarah spent time with them and they were inviting and accepting, as was she. I'm not American, but the discourse and divide that I read about everyday, (I'm a news junkie-both sides, to be fair), is disheartening. I love my 🇺🇸 neighbours, but I despise Trump with every single fibre of my being....for his behaviour; his loose morals, his racism, sexism, homophobia, his childish, narcissistic personality in general. But that doesn't mean I don't like republicans, in general. I don't like some democrats as well. Everyone is human and I don't judge anyone entirely based on their political views. I judge people on their intolerance of other people due to who those people are. Intolerance breeds unacceptance, which breeds divisiveness, which breeds incivility towards others and so on.
Heaven help you. I was raised Mormon in Northern Utah. Just just .....heaven help you
Sarah did a really wonderful job of being respectful. And she seems to be really good with kids. Kudos.
We have DUI laws, but people drive drunk every day, why don't we get rid of those laws?!
The criminals don't follow the laws rationale is crazy.
rationale is logic. It's not the laws that stop them. It's a CULTURE outside of any law that stops it. Otherwise you'd just end up busting DUIs daily till everyone's busted because no one would care/learn. Laws DO NOT TEACH. They punish after the fact. They DO NOT PREVENT.
Oddly, most people in this country have views that are not so different from one another. There is a minority on each side which is loud and they are the ones who will never compromise. If the 80% of people who can work together WOULD.....we could have healthcare, higher wages and MORE freedom. When someone tells you what you can or cannot do if you are not hurting anyone else, it is the definition of tyranny. We are not free in the United States because the laws have been benefiting a small minority of super wealthy. This trend needs to change.
true
Beautiful family. Also, Sarah is a princess.
I watch these videos because I enjoy the commentary and Sarah's approach to connecting with people, so I know what to expect. I was not prepared for a video of people I knew from my home town.
I'm a Mormon and I don't agree with them
I'm not a Mormon and I agree with them.
Lalaliux, what specifically don't you agree with?
And yes props to Sarah for how patient she is. I would have just rolled my eyes and walked out to forget what I just heard! lol
And how would that have gone? Would you listen to or even let someone stay in YOUR home if they immediately talked down to you after getting their soapbox out? C'mon, these are real people, it ain't a move.
I dont get where your objection to my reaction is. I would obviously not try to do what she did. Which is listen to opinions on the complete opposite side of the spectrum (political, social etc), knowing that there wont be much I can do to change that.
Conversing is of course the best course of action no matter what, and thats why I gave props to Sarah. I'm just not the one willing andd/or suitable to do that in such cases.
then whats the point of having a conversation with ppl with different views? Live in your echo chamber then.
And then everyone would know that you're an inconsiderate asshole.
@@TheBrass18
Read my comment again. You missed what I said.
Love Sara!!!
Smells like freedom!
The 2 mormons i've met and spent considerable time with, who were in 2 separate states, have been exceptional people.
Noticeably above par. Well rounded, smart, family oriented, exuded happiness/contentment.
They reminded me of these people and the Romney family.
I don't know what it is. It's not a large sample of the mormon pop but I have formed a positive stereotype of their culture.
I met 10 Mormons in my lifetime. (None related to each other and all at different times in my life.) 5 were racist. ( 3 were secretly racist. "I don't like black people...."I think black people are dirty...) All were sexist, but one. None believed a woman was equal to a man. They were all nice and respectful tho, so i guess you're right in that regard. But since I was friends with one (who stopped being Mormon at 18) I can vouch that they do talk *bad* about non-Mormons with different races/ethnicities (Mostly because they are not accustomed to different types of people.
@@jennygreat4846 that's a good point. I could see that. Mormons didn't admit African Americans to their church til very recently I believe.
Gandhi was famously prejudiced. On one level I think prejudice should be seen as an aspect of someone's character, and on another as fundamental.
Judging quality of someone's being is kind of wrong exactly because you undervalue certain failings or you over weigh them.
The people I met it's very possible they were prejudiced. Should keep that in mind.
Yeah Mormons are often great people.
Mormons are usually super sweet, I concur
@@millsykooksy4863 I've seen far more hateful anti-mormons than i've seen hateful mormons, mormons tend to be decent family people. They're the least of anyones worries yet they trigger a lot of sad people on the internet it seems.
People are mad about how "ignorant" these people are but in a town that small in a conservative area, conservative religion, jobs that relies on conservative thinking? Is it really that shocking?
Or in other words: "It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends upon his not understanding it!"
Yes and no. I feel like it's understandable, but at the same time this isn't the 19th century. We have several ways and means to educate ourselves about the outside world. Those that have access to this information, but choose not to engage with it are doing themselves and the country/ world at large a disservice, and really for no particular reason other than it makes them uncomfortable, or they just refuse to hear anything other than what they believe.
@@violetsnotviolence Your not wrong. But it just isn't that simple..
I was raised as a Mormon in Utah and it took me years after moving away from the state and the religion to let go of my conservative views.. not because I was actively ignorant, I just believed what I was taught to believe. And I tended to trust the news sources that my parents did. Could I have done more to educate myself? Sure. But my friends, neighbors, family, teachers, and religious leaders all agreed with me so I wasn't too worried about it.
When the girl said, "I do horses", I won't lie - I chuckled a little.
I love Sarah, but if I had kids, I would be terrified to let her near them.
There were gun regulations where I grew up. Mass shooting were an extremely rare occurance. We also didn't have security in public schools. And that was in a middle class city. The kid is echoing the taking points of what he's heard others parroting.
What an odd argument.
Mass shootings are more prevalent where there are strict gun regulations.
There's less gun violence in states with less gun regulations.
Your anecdotal experience is irrelevant.
mass shootings are rare EVERYWHERE no matter what else you've heard.
@@bigfan1041 total bullshit! I live in Australia! We don't have mass shootings & we certainly don't need security in schools!
This is so uncomfortable to watch. I can literally feel the animosity coming from the mother lmao
That was a really fun dinner convo in which only one of a table of women spoke, and she said only one sentence.
EXCELLENCE
God they are very blonde
you shouldn't hate on peoples hair
IKR. It was like Aryan nation
Beautiful isn't it?
I don't judge I'm race blind
And???????????????? (Saying that is like someone looking at your family and say "Wow..... their really brunette aren't they?"
Here's the thing...nobody knows what liberals really think because there isn't a show like this where a conservative/Trump Supporter goes to THEIR house. Have Comedian Tim Allen come to my family's home and you will get a different picture of what a "Liberal" family really is. Most of us are not CNN, or Hollywood. We just may surprise you! We have a lot more in common; we just approach it from a different angle.
Lol. No media would ever do this because all Hollywood shows are liberal, they all try to paint republicans as anti-gays, racists, sexists, objectifiers, etc. A willing to talk Republican? God no!
@Edward James --- Tim Allen sold his damn soul, he's forgotten where he came from, which wasn't wealth. He's bought into the -- I'm a big time Hollywood star, so I should be treated more Special, because I've successful now.
He's become a narsacissts, who has more money than sence.
Hunting is not mentioned anywhere in the Federalist Papers, much less the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Its purpose is expressly to allow the people a means to protect their rights, and includes both a personal right and a state right to bear arms to such an end.
Good job Sarah! This is how it should be, we need more of this type of behavior
A video about respecting people's opinions and approaching topics with nuance. Then you get to the comments section...
Amen.
Why’s the mum being so sour. She never said anything controversial
This is great. Love Sarah’s commitment to properly listen to people, and honestly, if the only religious people were Mormonists like this, we could live together believing different things.
These two sides are the middle that need to stick together
She’s very sweet! They were pretty cool too. Great show!
We all have love in our hearts. We all want peace and safety. We all try to be kind before anything else. We're all human beings. The internet is making us approach each other like monsters - it doesn't help. There are real monsters to unite against.
@Gene Clark I think she's arguing that particular systems and bad incentives can make good people act in ways that make them hurt each other and there's only a few people who are really and truly malevolent Gene.
@@@bigfan1041 I really don't understand why you perpetuate this NPC meme. It's one of the more hateful, scary things that has come out of the Internet. I am also confused by the NPC videos you like where they put the NPC face over Hillary and a talk show host. In my view, this de-personalizes human beings and paves the way for truly bad things.
I really think it would benefit you to stop.
@@paxton_wulgus 😂😂
@@bigfan1041 About the level of discourse I'd expect. I guess you aren't just an idiot, but a useful idiot for the nazis and plutocrats who donald's administration helps.
This is like The Simple Life but smarter 😂
Omg I want a longer video
A very nice family. Hard humble workers and their kids are lucky to be growing up with good values(not referring the religious aspect). I don’t agree with this family on everything, but I won’t go far enough to insult them and say they are what’s wrong with America. That would be messed up. They obviously had enough kindness to welcome SARAH SILVERMAN into their home. Good job Sarah for being respectful and good job Micheli family for being gracious and good sports. Let’s turn down the polarizing opinions and meet in the middle. We need more shows like these and less hate. 😎😎
I'm not crazy about the premise of this video. Not all members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints are conservative republicans. True, a majority of members of the faith are considered republican/conservative, but I personally don't feel that idea is representative of the church as a whole, especially with the swinging doctrinal shifts in either political party. Although I will admit that many younger members are heavily persuaded by the political beliefs of there parents, and they have a hard time developing political stances of their own. THAT was very apparent in this video. This is just my understanding as a life-long member of the faith who is also a self-proclaimed liberal.
🙄 gun restrictions don't help...okay 😒
The argument that "criminals don't care what the law is", is such bullshit. By that logic, why have any laws if criminals will not obey them?
If you make murder illegal than only criminals will murder.
This is beyond ridiculous. I'm feeling very happy to be Canadian right now.
so, it's better not to have gun laws because criminals don't follow the laws? Do you know how many more criminals there would be if those laws didn't exist? Did you see Sarah with that gun? Imagine everyone owning a gun with no laws. Then those "criminals" wouldn't be criminals and a lot more innocent people would be dead.
The places with the most gun violence have the most gun restrictions. And vice versa is true. So how is this not an accurate statement?
that finessing is amazing
This was really thoughtful. I appreciate that it was an informed conversation that was based on mutual respect (and a touch of humor). I think I need to get Hulu now so I can feel hope again for our country.
No denizens of planet kolob were harmed in the making of this video.
Family giving off creepy vibes... yikes!
What an oddly negative comment.
@zerogoki40 --- yeah I had the same feelings, like watching another versions of the Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar weird family.
Wasn't the oldest son accused of molesting several sister's of his, creepy as hell.
Seem perfectly ordinary to me. Some people are just more talkative than others and the children are well behaved which is nice.
Actually a great series. Very uniting in a way that we haven’t seen much with Trump.
That Mom wasn’t not for Sarah whatsoever - But at least she made her husband laugh 😂😂😂😂
truth be told if my lifestyle depended on me fraking id be republican as well (i need a shower now)
silly child. If your lifestyle doesn't depend on fracking you live in a cabin with burlap clothing and you make and produce everything by hand.
That Postal service is pretty darn inefficient or maybe the inefficiency he is speaking of is all right-wing and most left-wing politicians voted in to be inefficient for the people. Remove the money and start over, the Bernie Sanders way.
Are you sure about that? 50¢ to send something anywhere in the country... In 3 days or less on average? Seems pretty efficient to me.
And the GOP have done their best to destroy the USPS... By creating an artificial requirement that they pay for their pension liabilities 70years into the future. If ANY other corporation had that requirement - they'd go right out of business.
the _united states_ "postal service"? usps is the best, the gold standard.
Sorry, I meant that first sentence as sarcasm, I guess it didn‘t come across that way (Another WorldView Is Possible) .
got ahead of myself, apologies
1p6t1gms + gotcha... yeah - I missed it.
As a moderate independant and Mormon, I thought both Sarah and the family did great. Both expressed their different views, but they remained civil and respectful. That's what our country needs right now, to agree to disagree, but still be civil and kind to each other. We are all Americans that love our country that was built on compromise, that's what has made it so great!
That furniture is absolutely hideous!
A little too "fluff," but it probably isn't super easy to eat a meal and go in hard on any topic of real substance.
Are you an American? Do you know how wide the gap between Rep and Dem Americans has gotten? Gotta start somewhere to try and mend this country. Because, one day, Trump will be out of the White House, and we will have to move on with whatever remnants of America are left at that point. We need groundwork and talking, civilly, to one another, will be the start.
I hear what you're saying however...
I don't give a fuck about mending a gap right now. We're always gonna be different N that's the beauty of America BUT when it comes to detrimental Political Policies that cannot be reversed ...We're going to fight
Now I'm hungry.....
For polygamy!

Environmental lawyer for the oil industry. Right. Also Mormon is one letter away from Moron
They’re so nice!
Sure Sarah's a princess. About as believable as golden tablets and magic underwear.
and yet still more believable than Trump as president
Don't forget the seer stone that Joseph Smith used to translate those tablets!
(Jewish American) Princess...
I have magic underwear. You mean you don't ?!
She is technically a princess since she voiced one in Wreck-it-Ralph. I think she was alluding to that
