Oh my god. I love what he said, determined to leave the country better than how he found it. That's what I will do as well.

Quite possibly the best TED talk I’ve seen in over a decade of watching.

Wow Neal has finally made me understand some advice my father gave me years ago. My father was never a man for small talk which made him difficult to get along with but whatever he did say was worth listening to . He told me ,<br>“Son you can only ever play your ace card once, don’t ever use it unless you have to, timing is everything”<br>Wow , I wish now that I had given my father more time as I got older but sadly we all have our own sob stories .

Neale, after watching your presentation, I happened to watch this film-JUST MERCY. In his argument to get all the charges against his client dismissed, in front of the judge, I saw the lawyer did exactly as you described. Michael B Jordan, as the lawyer for the defendant, was amazingly engaging with the judge and you can see it in their eyes. It was amazingly wonderful.

Wow! That was powerful. It is so true. That line gave me chills: "You can only lose an argument by giving up...Because in the long-run, good arguments will win." No wonder he has won many cases in Supreme Court.

I will never forget the emotion in Neal's voice while providing commentary during RBG's funeral. You are a hero on behalf of democracy, Neal Katyal. Keep speaking truth with compassion.
