Ep. 119: EMERGENCY PODCAST SYSTEM — 9/11 or... Only the Confederate Army Has Killed More Americans Than Donald J. Trump Sep 12, 2020

Show notes

Trump bragged to Bob Woodward “I saved his ass!” — referring to how he, Trump, protected the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia after the Prince had a columnist for the Washington Post murdered. Hearing this on the anniversary of 15 Saudi hijackers who murdered 2,977 people in NYC, DC and PA is chilling. And a reminder to Michael Moore and the rest of us that during these next 50+ days we are in a state of emergency. None of us are safe. Trump truly is, as Mary Trump says, the most dangerous man in America.

Trump was warned as early as January by his National Security Advisor that Covid-19 is “the greatest national security threat”. He responded by telling the American people that the virus was a hoax - when he knew it wasn’t. He then knowingly allowed 200,000 Americans to die. That’s sixty-seven 9/11s. Trump is a mass killer.

Listen in on Mike’s intense, powerful assault on the madman in the White House.

Ep. 118: Class Dismissed, Pandemic Edition (feat. Teachers Dawn Nummer & Paul Prescod) Sep 11, 2020

Show notes

One of the biggest disasters caused by the lack of national leadership on the Coronavirus pandemic is the confusion, anxiety, and unbearable stress now felt by millions of parents, students and teachers. With the school year upon us, it's clear there was no national plan. Michael is joined by two public school teachers, Dawn Nummer in Tampa and Paul Prescod in Philadelphia, to share constructive ideas and describe the challenges they are now facing. Dawn, who has a son with severe asthma, is being put in a position to choose between being forced to go teach in school and placing her high-risk son's life in jeopardy, or losing her job. Paul shares some thoughts on what the recent teacher strikes in states such as West Virginia, Kentucky and Arizona could mean for how teachers organize in the midst of the pandemic.

Ep. 116: Biden To Flint — "F*ck You" (feat. Melissa Mays) Sep 05, 2020

Show notes

Michigan's former Republican Governor Rick Snyder is the man most responsible for poisoning Flint's residents and then covering up and allowing the poisoning to persist. He has permanently damaged people's lives by exposing them to lead poisoning, ruining their homes due to lead in the pipes, and causing misery and pain that will sadly last for generations. He should be in prison. Instead, he just endorsed Joe Biden's campaign, and the campaign touted Snyder's endorsement in a press release.
Was this a dirty trick by the Trump campaign to get Michiganders to stay home and not vote Biden? Why else would the Biden campaign insult the voters of Flint and tell them their votes don't matter?
Michael Moore is joined by Melissa Mays, a Flint resident, mother and activist who has been at the forefront of the effort to bring justice, dignity and clean water to Flint, to discuss how the hell the Biden campaign could have done this and what Biden must do to make amends.

Ep. 113: I'm Voting For Joe Biden Because I Don't Believe Him Aug 25, 2020

Show notes

On June 18th, 2019, at a high-end campaign fundraiser on Manhattan's Upper East Side, Joe Biden tried to win over wealthy donors and top bankers by assuring them that "nothing would fundamentally change" under a Biden presidency. He was reinforcing the idea that he's the moderate, status quo candidate that would not rock the boat or challenge the power of the 1% while in the White House.
Nothing would fundamentally change???
In this episode of Rumble, Michael Moore unravels the fallacy of Biden's thinking and shares his ideas for why everyone must stay involved in the fight for this election and beyond. First of all, EVERYTHING has fundamentally changed. The pandemic has exposed the cruel and unsustainable economic, health care and political systems in America. Nothing will ever be the same again. And the police murder of George Floyd has once again exposed racial inequality and the plight of Black Americans, and has sparked a rebellion that is the largest protest movement in American history. There is no turning back.
Biden and Harris will be inheriting a failed state on January 20, 2021, and milquetoast, moderate half-measures will not come nearly close to meeting the demands of the people and the demands of the moment. With a failing economy, a failing healthcare system, the political winds shifting left, and a strong and growing Squad in Congress, Biden and Harris can be forced to make bigger, bolder and more progressive changes than they were planning. History, political reality, emergencies and the fired up and organized political left can be and must be a force in this election and on the day Biden/Harris are sworn in.
For anyone despairing, depressed, or pessimistic about the future of the country, about the fact that Trump is President, or that we are being asked to settle for Biden as our only way forward, this episode is for you.

Ep. 112: On The Front Lines With Linda Sarsour (feat. Linda Sarsour) Aug 22, 2020

Show notes

Linda Sarsour is an organizer and activist who has been on the frontlines of every major battle against creeping fascism, the Trump administration, state violence, and attacks on all marginalized communities. Along with Tamika Mallory, Carmen Perez and Bob Bland, she organized the Women's March in Washington D.C. on January 21, 2017, the largest protest in American history. Since then, she has been fighting the administration on it's Muslim ban, on criminal justice reform, along with her continued advocacy for Arab and Muslim Americans and for the Palestinian people.
She joins Michael discuss the urgent need to remove Trump from office, how Democrats should (and should not) bring out Muslim and Arab voters in key swing states such as Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Texas and Florida, and her decision to move to Louisville, Kentucky in the middle of a pandemic to fight for justice for Breonna Taylor.

Ep. 111: What Joe Biden Must Do To Win. And What We Must Do To Win. (feat. Briahna Joy Gray) Aug 20, 2020

Show notes

As the Democrats turn half of their convention over to conservative Democrats and Republicans, and as they harp on symbolism and personal attributes of candidates over policies or plans to actually help Americans, Michael is joined by Briahna Joy Gray to discuss what Biden and the Democrats should be doing to reach people on the fence about voting and what progressives must do to hold the Democrats' feet to the fire. They also discuss why "vote blue no matter who" might actually hurt the party's chances of winning along with the anti-progressive bias in cable news.

Ep. 109: The Radical Left-Wing Anarchist Mob for Biden-Harris Aug 12, 2020

Show notes

One of Donald Trump's attacks on Joe Biden is that he is not actually running the Democratic party or even his own Presidential campaign. Instead, Trump claims, Biden is being controlled by "the left-wing mob," by "socialists" or "antifa" or "anarchists" or "the squad." So Trump has a higher opinion of the power of the left than we have of ourselves! Michael Moore shares his thoughts on what Joe Biden's selection of Kamala Harris for Vice President means for our struggle for justice, peace and humanity.

Ep. 105: EMERGENCY PODCAST SYSTEM — Don't Let Trump ‘Delay the Election’ Jul 31, 2020

Show notes

At 8:46 AM this morning, President Trump once again raised the idea of resorting to dictatorial tactics to hold on to the presidency and "delay the election." As the economy tanks and tens of thousands of more Americans die due to his botching the government response to the pandemic, Trump will stop at nothing to save face and hold onto power. In this EMERGENCY PODCAST SYSTEM episode, Michael Moore gives marching orders on what we need to do to ensure we have an election on November 3rd and that everyone gets to vote whether it’s in person or by mail.
