OMG u guys!!! I'm literally so excited about this new ep of Sunday Morning!! 🤩 they got Judd Apatow talkin bout Mel Brooks 🙌 and Stellan Skarsgård sharing some behind the scenes deets from Good Will Hunting 💥 it's gonna be such a fun watch! can't w8 to see what Jane Pauley has in store for us 😆
 
man this show always brings back memories of my dad watching it with me back in the day 📺. remembering when mel brooks was still around, his stand up routines were hilarious. and stellan skarsgård's acting career is crazy, from good will hunting to avengers, what a transformation! but you know what's even crazier? these highpointers club guys, reaching the highest point in every state, that's like trying to climb all the mountains in california 🏔️. and speaking of history, the civil rights era is still so relevant today, it's wild to think about how far we've come but also how much work is left to be done 💪
 
I'm so fascinated by those highpointers who are literally chasing sunrises in every state 🌅! I mean, can you imagine waking up at 3 am to hike to the top of Mount Denali or something? It's not just about reaching the summit, it's about the journey and the people you meet along the way. And what's even cooler is that they're all doing it together as a community - there's no competition, just camaraderie and adventure 💪. I wish more people could find their own 'why' like that and take on big challenges in life. Maybe we can learn something from these folks about living life to the fullest 🌈
 
I gotta say, it's crazy how fast two years went by! I mean, Trump's been president for ages now 🤯. But you know what's even crazier? The fact that we're still having conversations about his presidency and its impact 💬. And on a more uplifting note, have you seen that new podcast Judd Apatow did about Mel Brooks? That guy is a comedy genius 😂. I mean, who wouldn't want to talk about the life and career of one of the greatest comedians of all time? It's amazing how his work continues to inspire new generations 🎉. And let's not forget those hikers on The Highpointers Club - they're literally trekking through America, reaching the highest points in every state, it's mind-blowing 🏔️.
 
I just watched this Sunday Morning episode 📺 and I gotta say, it was pretty interesting. The part about Trump's presidency had me thinking - two years in and still no clear direction 🤔. Pauley did a great job breaking down the key moments, but you can't help feeling like we're still stuck on the same old issues. On the flip side, that segment on Mel Brooks was hilarious 😂! Judd Apatow's podcast is genius - who knew we needed more Mel Brooks? 🎉 Skarsgård's convo was pretty cool too, loved learning about his acting journey and music ventures. The civil rights segment was super informative, but it made me think... how can we continue to learn from history if we're not acknowledging the struggles of today 💡? Anyway, that Highpointers Club segment was just 😂🏞️ - who knew hikers were so adventurous?!
 
🎉 I think it's so cool that CBS News Sunday Morning is doing a segment about Trump's presidency, two years in! It's like, really interesting to see how things are going, right? 🤔 And having Judd Apatow on to talk about Mel Brooks is just amazing, because who doesn't love comedy legends?! 😂 And the part about Stellan Skarsgård is so inspiring too, I mean, he's had such an incredible career! 💫 What I love most though is that they're also making history in the civil rights era, highlighting all those important milestones. It's like, really great to see people coming together for a common cause 🌈💖
 
omg u guys i just watched this eps of sunday morning on cbs news and i'm still reeling from the trump presidency segment 🤯 i mean i knew he was a polarizing figure but 2 yrs in and it's wild how much drama has gone down - like did u know he tweeted at thursday night to announce his tax returns would be released the next day?? 😂 anyway i loved the mel brooks convo with judd apatow btw i've always been a huge fan of mel's work 🤣
 
So I was watching this latest episode of Sunday Morning on CBS News and I gotta say, it's been a while since they've done a show like that. They really dug deep into Trump's presidency, his healthcare plans, and even made a segment about Mel Brooks! 🤣 That guy is a legend, right? Stellan Skarsgård was cool too, seems like a down-to-earth dude.

But what I liked most about this episode was the one on civil rights history. It's crazy to think how far we've come, and yet there's still so much work to be done. The Highpointers Club segment was also super inspiring - those hikers are like the ultimate adventure-seekers! 🏔️ They made me want to lace up my hiking boots and hit the trails ASAP.

I'm curious, though... what do you guys think about Trump's presidency so far? Do you think he's had any positive impacts on the country? 🤔 Let me know in the comments below! 👇
 
man, trump's 2 yrs in office is like, whoa 🤯. can't believe how fast time flies. think about it, we're already talkin' 2025 and he's been outta there for years 🕰️. anyway, gotta give it up to the guys makin' history in the civil rights era 💪. those ppl paved the way for us to be where we are today. and stellan skarsgård, dude's got a crazy film resume 🎥. but seriously, the economy's been weird during trump's presidency... feel like it's been all over the place 📉. gotta stay on top of our finances, fam 💸.
 
I don’t usually comment but I think it’s kinda cool that they did an episode about Mel Brooks 🤣, I mean who doesn’t love a good comedy legend? Judd Apatow seems like a nice guy too, I liked how he talked about the importance of comedy in bringing people together. And honestly, I don’t know much about Stellan Skarsgård but he looks like a really talented actor 🤔. The segment on making history in the civil rights era was super interesting though, it's crazy to think about how far we've come since those iconic marches 🙏.
