Prof. Sachs and Mr. Hedges we are grateful to have you

These topics are what we need to teach our kids in high schools not the garbage they learn.

It takes guts for an institutional man to tell the truth in this country. You have my respect Jeffrey.

Great thanks to the Prof. Sachs for his dignity, honesty and professionalism

Great to hear these two sane, eloquent and high profile commentators speaking together These are the kind of people the world needs as leaders, but the mass media tragically ignores ...

This speech causes me to weep for what had been lost, what we have thrown away, and what we have forgotten.

What goes through the minds of people, who feel they need to dislike a conversation like this, is beyond me.

Sachs has a phenomenal grip on politics/diplomacy, wish we had him during our PolSci lectures

That Kennedy speech is awesome. I happen to think there is more drama in seeking peace then in war. To see one another as human beings with the same basic concerns and fears is powerful.

This video should be part of every high school history class, but the political establishment addicted to war would never allow it.

Jeffrey Sachs one of America's best public intellectuals.

A privilege to listen to Dr. Sachs. I do admire this gentleman.

Thank you Jeffrey Sachs.

No words to state how powerful and honest all at once this interview was: THANK you Prof. SACHS, GREAT JOB Mr. HEDGES.

Two brilliant minds - Sachs and Hedges. Sachs wears many hats - economist, author, diplomat, geopolitical analyst and teacher extraordinaire. Hedges is an extraordinary journalist and writer. Brilliant conversation and more than that - a valuable history lesson.

Great discussion, gentlemen. The world needs peace, not war. We are one humanity.

The speech spoken at American University was beyond eloquent. It is my favorite speech of all time. It meant everything to me. I was 10 years old, one mile from Carlswell AF base when we came within hours from nuclear war. My father, packed our car and spoke with SAC to find out the time frame to remove us from ground zero, much less the nuclear fallout. It couldn’t be done in time. The back channel deal the Kennedy’s did with Khrushchev saved America and the world. Allen Dulles killed the Kennedy’s, therefore. My elementary school had us doing drills with moms in cars picking up all the kids and driving out of ground zero. I think of where we are today. Nothing has changed since the assassination of the Kennedy’s. Power truly does corrupt and it truly does corrupt absolutely…Lord Acton, Truman…Years later when my father was elderly I asked him about how we almost came to nuclear war and said, Dad why didn’t you get us out of the country to South America. He said it wouldn’t have mattered the earth would have been devastated at the level of nuclear material released. He would have known. He was a Nuclear Engineer.😮

Excellent work! In less than an hour, Sacks lays out the history of the Cold War from it’s inception at the end of WW11 to the current state of play in Ukraine, a masterful précis from a man who had a front row seat during that crucial decade after the fall of the Soviet Union. Bravo!

Kennedy's speeches bring tears to my eyes, and I was born 3 years after he was gunned down. An amazing man.
