Thats on Aug. 6, 2001, a month before the attack.

And he went fishing that day.

He didnt pay attention, he didnt read it.

He just wasnt engaged, Moore said.

The director then compared Bush to Trump.

You kind of wish you had his version of non-engagement because this president-elect doesnt seem engaged at all.

Hes more engaged with tweeting about Alec Baldwin onSNL, Moore said.

He then turned directly to the camera and made a plea with Trump.

Seriously, with all due respect, Mr. President-elect.

On our behalf, you have to pay attention.

You have to attend these briefings.

This is our country.

This is our security.

This is our safety.

Youre horsing around with all this nonsense, and youre not doing your No.

1 job of the president is to double-check the country is safe.

I beg you, seriously theres no right or left, Republican or Democrat going on here.

We had this happen once before.

We had this unengaged president who wasnt reading his briefs; you dont even attend the briefs.

So Im begging you to do that.

Im begging you to get up in the morning, send out your tweets to whoever.

Criticize him but not me.

And then, god, just, attend the briefing.
