A timely and interesting talk from Rick.....

Ken, thank you for posting this. These are things I have been realizing, and it's nice to see that Rick is calling them out.

I would really like to weigh in on my own opinion, but I understand why Rick wants to keep his website purely about travel, and doesn't want to get involved with non-travel, controversial issues, but kudos to Rick for taking a stand.

This is one of the very best and best-delivered speeches on the subject I have ever heard.

Ken, thanks for sharing.

I've always admired Rick, but as a citizen of Minnesota his words in this video speak to me more now than ever.

Thanks Ken. I've also watched RS's "The Story of Fascism in Europe" from seven years ago in which he mentioned no names. This time, he's not holding back. I deeply appreciate that.

That showed up on my feed yesterday, too. I didn't think it was possible to think more highly of Rick Steves as an intelligent, kind, rational, and ethical man. I was wrong. One of the most thoughtful and reasoned speeches I've heard.

Thanks for posting this Ken.
I saw Rick’s travel presentation at Phoenix Travel Show Saturday. Excerpts from this talk were included in his presentation, although a lighter version, plus a call for us to support PBS.
