Actor Jeff Daniels performed a song inspired by the “No Kings” protests live on MSNBC’s “Deadline: White House” Tuesday.
“When we interviewed Joan Baez for ‘The Best People’ podcast, we asked her what was different about the movements in the 60s,” host Nicolle Wallace said. “She said, ‘well, lots of things. But one of them, we had each other, and we had the music.’ On Saturday, 7 million Americans found each other at the ‘No Kings’ protest. And today, thanks to Jeff Daniels, we’ve got the music.”
The “Tron: Ares” actor then performed a song he wrote called “Crazy World,” which he described as “how I cope.”
“I’ve seen a young girl smiling at something he just said/I watched him fall until her pretty green eyes, his cheeks turned Valentine red/I’ve seen an old man walking with his wife by his side/I watched him reach down, take her hand, damned if I didn’t cry,” Daniels sang as he strummed a guitar on the MSNBC set.
He continued, “This crazy world’s gone crazy. Who am I to judge?/Nice to know in the world full of hate, there’s someone out there still making love.”
Before he performed his song, Daniels talked about the lack of “decency” coming from President Donald Trump, particularly in his AI video response to the “No Kings” protests.
“By the way, do we really have to treat people like that? You know, the meme that he had where he was flying with the crown and the, you know, spewing excrement all over the people down below—” Daniels said.
“The country, America,” Wallace responded.
“Would Lincoln have done that?” Daniels asked.
“I don’t think Nixon would have done that,” Wallace remarked.
“Nixon wouldn’t have done it. Reagan wouldn’t have done it. Bush wouldn’t have done it — either Bush. I think people in the Midwest, where I am…we value our decency and our civility,” Daniels said.
He went on to say that he believed that decency and civility will matter again after people “vote for change” in the midterm elections.
