Description: Amy Poehler dropped a mic on her podcast Good Hang when she had Robert De Niro, and it was pure emotional gold — she compared his activism to an adult calming a chaotic wedding, praising him for using his massive platform to speak truth when others won’t. Her heartfelt words clearly moved him — she joked about handing him tissues, and he didn’t even try to hide the fact that he was touched. Poehler highlighted how rare it is for powerful white men of his generation to stand up responsibly, and thanked him for making it easier for others to follow. De Niro, in turn, opened up about his frustration with the state of the country, admitting hopelessness can be paralyzing — but insisted courage is contagious and urged everyone to fight back against what he calls “nonsense.” He’s not just watching — he’s calling action, even when it’s hard.
