| 11 Feb 2021 | Ep. 163: RUMBLE LIVE -- When The President Incites, You Must Indict | 00:42:53 | |
On Day 3 of the second impeachment trial of Donald Trump, the Democratic impeachment managers unveiled stunning and maddening video proof of the violent, insurrectionist mob being instigated by Trump and showing their lethal and deadly actions and intentions. Footage we've never seen before of Senators running for their lives was among the evidence that showed how the January 6th, 2021 was even worse than we thought. | |||
| 29 Dec 2020 | Ep. 149: Best Christmas Bombing Ever! | 00:44:14 | |
Michael Moore discusses two of the most recent acts of terror in the United States: Anthony Q. Warner's suicide bombing in Nashville, Tennessee and Army Green Beret Duke Webb's shooting and killing of three people at a bowling alley in Rockford, Illinois. Mike also addresses the Wounded Knee Massacre which occurred 130 years ago today, part of America's genocide of the native inhabitants, and the beginning of a long line of violence which continues today. All that, plus more holiday cheer and vaccinations! | |||
| 12 Feb 2020 | Ep. 36: A Tear In The Matrix (feat. RuPaul) | 01:26:58 | |

He joined Michael for a thoughtful conversation about fear, sobriety, Bugs Bunny, the opioid crisis, the importance of drag queens in society, Monty Python, acid, dancing and how Michael would do on RuPaul's Drag Race. ******************** Follow RuPaul on Twitter here: Read the story Michael mentioned here: NYT: A Dark Consensus About Screens and Kids Begins to Emerge in Silicon Valley https://www.nytimes.com/2018/10/26/style/phones-children-silicon-valley.html ******************** Subscribe to “RUMBLE with Michael Moore” on: Apple Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/5KubucWBfyJr14bD7xWBvS Google: https://www.google.com/podcasts?feed=aHR0cHM6Ly9hbmNob3IuZm0vcy8xMGZjOWEzMC9wb2RjYXN0L3Jzcw== Stitcher: https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/michael-moore-4/rumble-with-michael-moore Anchor: https://anchor.fm/rumble-with-michael-moore Follow Michael on: Twitter: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/mmflint/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/michaelfmoore/ ******************** | |||
| 05 Apr 2021 | Ep. 179: Aaron Sorkin -- "The Only Thing Better Than A Story You Don't Know Is A Story You Think You Know" | 01:30:33 | |
Aaron Sorkin is one of our most celebrated and influential playwrights and screenwriters whose plays, films and television work include A Few Good Men, The American President, The West Wing, Sports Night, The Newsroom, The Social Network, Moneyball, and Steve Jobs. Before the pandemic, his stage adaptation of To Kill A Mockingbird, starring Jeff Daniels as Atticus Finch, had turned into one of the the great Broadway shows of all time. | |||
| 22 Mar 2020 | Ep. 55: Cash Now (feat. Stephanie Kelton) | 01:18:28 | |
The coronavirus pandemic and all of the economic and social crises that it has exposed has politicians of all stripes calling for massive government intervention. And, funny enough, no pundit or politician is whining about how “WE CAN’T AFFORD THIS!” But just as in 2008, corporations and lobbyists are salivating at the opportunity to milk this crisis for as much government money as they can get their hands on. This is why we MUST use this moment to massively reshape our economic and healthcare systems and immediately get money in the hands of all Americans. Michael discusses what action must be taken with economist and professor Stephanie Kelton, former economist with the Senate Budget Committee and author of the forthcoming book, "The Deficit Myth: Modern Monetary Theory and the Birth of the People's Economy." ************* Call your U.S. Senators: 202-225-3121 Call your U.S. Rep: 202-224-3121 ************* Pre-order Stephanie's book "The Deficit Myth" from BookShop: https://bookshop.org/a/1381/9781541736184 Or, if you prefer Amazon, pre-order it here: FDR's 2nd Bill of Rights scene from "Capitalism: A Love Story": Stephanie's op-ed in NYT: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/21/opinion/-coronavirus-stimulus-trillion.html | |||
| 31 Oct 2020 | Ep. 135: A Final Prayer For America (with Dr. Cornel West) | 01:07:48 | |
Dr. Cornel West joins Michael Moore in the final hours before election day to have one last, fierce conversation over how we should use what may be our last moments as a free people to fight and remove the Neofascist Gangster from the White House. Is this it? If we succeed, what then with our new neoliberal president? We must make the most of these three intense days ahead. Who will help us? Who will intercede? Can someone somewhere offer something resembling a prayer for this misguided, misbegotten but otherwise well-meaning nation? Have we earned our rescue? It’s in our hands. And somebody just gave us an extra hour on the clock tonight to get it together man!

| 07 Oct 2024 | Ep. 327: Trump Is the American Bibi. The World Does Not Need a Double Bibi. | 01:06:22 | |
Even One Bibi, Who After the Slaughter of October 7th Then Created the Slaughter of October 8, 2023-October 7, 2024, Is Too Much. The Current Slaughter Is the One You and I Fund and Arm. Who Will Forgive Us? Vice President Harris, Please, Tell Us You'll Fix This. One year ago today, Michael Moore (and the rest of us) awoke to the devastating news that over 1200 civilians — mostly Jews — had been slaughtered in Israel, and lay dead in the streets. On today's episode, Michael not only reflects back on that fateful day, but he also uncovers the uncomfortable truths that surfaced in the days, weeks and months that followed, that led us to where we are today: Our tax dollars funding & arming an off-the-rails Netanyahu and his mass slaughter of innocent Palestinians — and now us Americans on the brink of being dragged by Netanyahu into a war with Iran. Also, only 4 weeks away from November 5th, Michael covers the latest lies and vitriol coming from the American Bibi, Donald J. Trump. Michael reveals the negative effect of our unwavering support of Netanyahu on Michigan voters, and pleads with Vice President Harris to do whatever she can, right now, to end the madness in the Middle East. Or, at the very least, tell the American people, the majority of whom support an immediate ceasefire, that she is going to do right by us and fix this as soon as she holds power. Finally, today is the LAST DAY TO REGISTER TO VOTE in the following states: Arizona Georgia Florida Ohio Texas (no online registration) Arkansas Indiana Kentucky Mississippi (no online registration) Tennessee If you live in any one of the states above — or in Missouri, Oklahoma, Delaware, South Carolina, Oregon or West Virginia whose voter registration deadlines are later this week — check your voter registration online TODAY and make sure you are registered to vote!

| 31 Dec 2022 | Ep. 273: "Blue Dots in a Red Sea" Part 6: Our Civic Duty — WE Must Attend! | 00:15:16 | |
On this Rumble episode of Michael Moore's special podcast series, “Blue Dots in a Red Sea,” Mike asks for all of us to attend one or two school board, town council or County Commission meetings this coming year — to be there as a Democratic/Progressive/Left witness to what the elected officials are up to. In a red, Republican area, they are very used to no one showing up, especially not any liberals or the new Blue group you and your friends are forming. And all you’re doing is just sitting there, quietly observing, taking notes and minding your own business. You will report back to your Blue group via email and social media what happened at the meeting. Maybe nothing happened. That is, until all of a sudden someone on the school board proposed banning a dozen books because they contained “gay characters.” And then that’s your cue to approach the podium during the public comment section, introduce yourself as a representative of the local new Democrats (pause for a second so they can adjust their brains as they’ve never met anybody calling themself a “Democrat” in Red Snake County) and then kindly tell them that your group will not tolerate any kind of bigoted book banning and there will be many more of you at the next meeting. And that’s how change happens. Simply because you showed up. Have a safe New Year’s Eve. Say goodbye to 2022 and let’s get ready to rock the casbah in 2023! The Blue Tsunami is just beginning!

| 26 Sep 2020 | Ep. 123: "A Modern Day D-Day On November 3rd" (feat. Jeff Daniels) | 01:32:08 | |
One of the central figures in American history that will forever be tied to Donald Trump winning the 2016 election and Trump's corrupt and chaotic time in the White House, is former FBI Director James Comey. His story will now be memorialized in a Showtime two-part series called "The Comey Rule," starring Jeff Daniels as Comey. Daniels, one of American's most beloved and versatile actors, joins Michael to discuss why he decided to play Comey, why they had to fight to get this on the air before election day and how America is facing a "modern day D-Day on November 3rd." They also discuss their home state of Michigan, Daniels' role of a lifetime as Atticus Finch in the Aaron Sorkin adaptation of "To Kill A Mockingbird" on Broadway and whether the cinematic experience can make a comeback after the pandemic. | |||
| 24 May 2022 | Ep. 241: Holy America (A Monkeypox on us all!) | 00:39:31 | |
Riding through the tidal waves of emboldened Archbishops who are weaponizing & politicizing communion, a new viral outbreak (monkeypox WTF?!) threatening public health, and the corporate greed behind the real story of why there’s no formula milk that is causing American babies to go hungry, plus Biden saying he’d send troops to Taiwan if China invaded when he knows no American parent will offer up their son or daughter to go and die for such a crazy idea, Michael has had it. But any day now, the Supreme Court is about to set off their time bomb against an entire gender.

| 25 Jun 2020 | Ep. 94: Madness Can Be Our Friend (feat. Steven Reisner, PhD) | 01:31:28 | |
Dr. Steven Reisner is a psychologist and political activist who brilliantly uses his study of the human mind to understand and explain our political reality. He reveals what all of the armchair psycho-analyses of Donald Trump gets wrong and provides us with a new framework for how to confront Trump and Trumpism. He's launched a new podcast "Madness" which is where "psychology and capitalism collide" and he joins Michael to discuss racism, democracy, the problem with psychology today and why we must rethink our basic values. ********* Steve's podcast is called "MADNESS: where psychology and capitalism collide" - subscribe/listen for free here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/madness-the-podcast/id1483445721 Make sure to listen to his most recent episode, "The Masque of the Black Death (Racism in the Time of Trump)": Read about how Steve and his colleagues fought the CIA and the medical establishment on torture: How Six Rebel Psychologists Fought A Decade-Long War On Torture — And Won https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/peteraldhous/the-dissidents ******* A new Rumble underwriter!

| 22 May 2023 | Ep. 291: Approval Ratings? Nobody Approves! | 00:29:14 | |
What is this — high school? These approval ratings are in a time where most of the country doesn't approve of virtually anything. This concept is so antiquated, the pollsters might as well ask the public, in the presidential race, to vote for "Best Dressed", "Most Likely To Succeed", "Cutest Couple", "Class Clown", "MVP", "Best Smile" and "Most Likely to Bring Back Canadian Beer Through the Windsor Tunnel." In this episode of Rumble, Michael Moore discusses the stupidity of presidential approval ratings and why it doesn't matter how low Biden's is because there still aren't enough Americans willing to return criminal defendant #4913961R to the White House. Says Mike, "Biden could run somebody over in the middle of 5th Avenue and it still won't matter. He will get a second term — and your brother-in-law is still not invited to Thanksgiving dinner this year."

| 09 Feb 2021 | Ep. 162: How To Make 2021 The Year Of The Equal Rights Amendment (w/ Rep. Jackie Speier) | 00:38:38 | |
After first being drafted in 1923 by two leaders of the women’s suffrage movement and then finally being passed by Congress in 1972, the century-long struggle to have the Equal Rights Amendment ratified and gender-equality enshrined in the U.S. Constitution is finally on the brink of succeeding. That's because in 2020, the state of Virginia became the 38th state to ratify the E.R.A. matching the two-thirds threshold needed to ratify a constitutional amendment. However, an arbitrary 7-year time limit on the 1972 legislation has provided one final hurdle that advocates for women's equality must overcome. Who to push to make sure we finally ratify the E.R.A. -- Music in the episode: | |||
| 28 Apr 2020 | Ep. 74: Dr. Mona Says Don't Drink Bleach (feat. Dr. Mona Hanna-Attisha) | 01:20:45 | |
On the 6th anniversary of the start of the Flint Water catastrophe, Michael Moore is joined by with pediatrician who first exposed the high levels of lead in Flint's children, Dr. Mona Hanna-Attisha. Dr. Mona is a pediatrician at Hurley Medical Center in Flint, a professor at Michigan State University and the author of "What the Eyes Don't See: A Story of Crisis, Resistance, and Hope in an American City." Dr. Mona, who was recently diagnosed with Covid-19, gives an update on where things stand in Flint and makes the connection between what happened in Flint and what is now happening with the coronavirus pandemic. ********************** Read Dr. Mona's book, "What the Eyes Don't See: A Story of Crisis, Resistance, and Hope in an American City." https://bookshop.org/a/1381/9780399590856 or To help the children of Flint, Dr. Mona suggests visiting: | |||
| 10 Jun 2022 | Ep. 244: Repeal the Second Amendment | 00:24:43 | |
The night of the Uvalde massacre, Michael gave his first televised response to a mass shooting in over a decade. And what he said was so powerful, and so truthful, it frightened Democrats who are afraid to go all the way to stop this madness. It frightened Republicans so much, one their craziest, Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), took to the House floor this week to denounce Michael by name during the debate on possible new gun laws. What did he say? Just the same thing over a hundred million Americans were already thinking but nobody on TV was saying. So, he decided somebody had to speak the unspeakable, that which no red-blooded American is supposed to say. On this episode of RUMBLE, he goes ahead and says it again. And then he begs you to say it, too. ************* Podcast Underwriters: 1) Anchor.fm can help you start your own podcast.

Michael Moore shares his personal history with both Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders, who both starred in 2009's "Capitalism: A Love Story." In very personal terms, he addresses the possible fracture within the progressive movement and why we must move past this in order to ensure the defeat of both Donald Trump and the rotten system that produced Trump. ***************************** The Credibility Gap Current Affairs https://www.currentaffairs.org/2020/01/the-credibility-gap Bernie in 1987: Lamenting that there aren’t more women in office and encouraging young girls to run: https://twitter.com/pjayevans/status/1216826375744737280 Bernie in 1988: “In my view a woman could be elected president of the United States” https://twitter.com/meaganmday/status/1216793548567113728 Bernie Sanders’s Hard Fight for Hillary Clinton The New Yorker https://www.newyorker.com/news/amy-davidson/bernie-sanderss-hard-fight-for-hillary-clinton Compilation of 40 campaign events Bernie Sanders did for Hillary Clinton in 2016: https://twitter.com/ThomasIsOnline/status/1147606198050574337 Compilation of 12 rallies and 3 fundraisers Hillary Clinton did for Barack Obama in 2008: https://twitter.com/ThomasIsOnline/status/1147614729491353603 Exit polling after the 2008 campaign showed that 15 percent of Clinton-supporting Democrats in the primary voted for John McCain in the general election over Barack Obama: https://web.archive.org/web/20081108082743/http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/11/04/exit.polls/ According to data from the Cooperative Congressional Election Study, only 12 percent of people who voted for Bernie Sanders in the 2016 Democratic presidential primaries voted for Trump in the general election: ******* | |||

Sign-up for Michael Moore's FREE email list at: Join Michael Moore for a FREE screening of "Fahrenheit 9/11" A transcript of this episode will soon be available at: *********** Chris Hedges is one of the great journalists, thinkers, war reporters and truth-tellers of our time. He won the Pulitzer Prize for reporting on global terrorism while at the New York Times, who later fired him for speaking out against the Iraq war. He joins Michael to speak on Afghanistan, the collapse of the American empire, the upcoming 9/11 anniversary, and the end of abortion rights in Texas (and around the U.S.) Hedges was a war correspondent for many years and has seen awful human degradation, societies in collapse, social bonds being ruptured, and people turning to “self-destructive behavior and magical thinking.” Alarmingly, he sees all of these signals of decay here in America. Hedges has also studied the Evangelical Christian Right in America and wrote a prescient book in 2008 titled, “American Fascists: The Christian Right and the War on America.” He details the decades-long battle on women’s reproductive rights, the cynical and dishonest methods used to restrict access to abortion and how this pernicious form of fascism has only grown stronger since that book was published. However, as a teacher, an ordained Presbyterian minister, and a graduate from Harvard’s Divinity School, Hedges draws on the teachings of great philosophers and theologians to lay out a moral imperative for solidarity and struggle and explains why we must not succumb to despair.

| 03 Mar 2020 | Ep. 46: Super Tuesday Preview, Part 4 - Fight The Power | 01:00:42 | |
The corporatist, centrist wing of the Democratic Party has gotten in formation. Joe Biden is their man. The mainstream media is endlessly promoting him and not hiding their bias. Sadly, many of them would rather have Donald Trump in the White House than Bernie Sanders. Michael Moore gives an impassioned plea to everyone who wants to defeat Trump and to defeat the system which gave us Trump to not give in to the failed establishment that handed us Trump in the first place. The future of the county and of humanity depends on it. | |||

| 19 Feb 2021 | Ep. 166: Idiot Wind | 01:08:39 | |
Between the stupid disaster occurring in Texas to the continuing stupid rampage of Covid-19 to the death of S. Rush Limbaugh, it's been a banner week for enforced ignorance and prideful stupidity in America. Michael Moore makes the connection between the unique strain of American idiocy, the never-ending addiction to the myths about the "free market" and privatization, and one of the loudest and most destructive voices in the country with his legacy of ignorance, hate, fear and violence he leaves behind. Finally, Michael reflects on the passing of Jim Ridgeway, an investigative journalist who left an indelible mark in journalism, on the left, and in Michael's life and career.

| 21 Apr 2021 | Ep. 184: EMERGENCY PODCAST SYSTEM — Guilty! Guilty! Guilty! | 00:52:10 | |
It took only 10 hours of deliberations for a Minneapolis jury to find former police office Derek Chauvin guilty of second-degree murder, third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter of George Floyd. The decision was swift, overwhelming, obvious, and yet, somehow, shocking. Maybe it should not have been such a shock that jurors in the political district that elected Rep. Ilhan Omar to Congress (twice) made the right decision. However, as Michael Moore explains in this EMERGENCY PODCAST SYSTEM episode of Rumble, it is not normal for these cases to go the right way. He shares his feeling of total shock, plus his warning to white Americans and police officers who do not want to see America change into a more diverse, just, and equitable society. He also explains how this one act of accountability is not the massive, revolutionary change we need to address white supremacy, criminal justice reform, and anti-Black racism. Finally, he pays tribute to Darnella Frazier, the courageous teenager who filmed the the Chauvin murder with a steady hand and a lot of gumption.

| 16 Oct 2020 | Ep. 129: Supreme Nightmare -- When Abortion Wasn't Legal | 00:34:04 | |
With the Republicans prepared to take full control of the Supreme Court with a 6-3 majority if Amy Coney Barrett is confirmed, Roe V. Wade and the right to a legal abortion is in serious jeopardy. What would this horrific rollback of women's rights and reproductive rights do to American society and to the health of millions of American women?

| 25 Dec 2019 | Ep. 7: A Very Rumble Christmas | 00:12:46 | |
Join Michael Moore for a RUMBLE Christmas sing-along! The lyrics are below and are slightly altered to match the times we live in. Merry Christmas! 1. Rudy, the Red-Nosed Reindeer Rudy, the red nosed lawyer Had a very shiny nose That’s cause of where he put it Right up in, well, you know. All of the other Trumpsters Used to roll their eyes and sneer As Rudy hung out in Ukraine Hoping to deliver a smear. Then one foggy winter’s day Donald came to say Rudy with your nose so bright Won’t you tell more lies tonight Then all the Trumpsters loved him And they shouted out with glee — “Rudy the red-nosed lawyer You’ll go down in infamy!“ 2. Nancy Pelosi Is Coming to Town Oh, you better watch out You better not cry You better not pout I’m telling you why Nancy Pelosi is coming to town! She’s making a list Checking it twice Gonna find out who’s working for ICE Nancy Pelosi is coming to town. She sees you when you’re sleeping She knows when you’re awake She knows what else is in that server — And she knows you're on the take! You better watch out You better not try To hold a fake trial I’m telling you why — Nancy will kick your ass! 3. Silent Night Silent Night! Holy Night! Fox is gone. Murdoch’s left town. Tucker and Hannity — Nobody cares. Fox and Friends Are lost in Times Square Sleep in heavenly peace! Trump will be joining you soon! 4. White Christmas I’m dreaming of a White Owner Just like the owners we’ve known before Where they fire Colin Kaepernick For taking a knee Cause he didn’t like cops shooting black kids in the snow. I’m dreaming of a White Owner With every Christmas card I write. May Colin’s days be merry and bright — And may all you owners take flight. 5. Jared the No-Man Jared the No-man He brought peace to the Middle East! He brought happiness to all the world And he never even said a peep! Jared the No-man He fixed climate change! With a wink and a nod and a twitch of his eye The entire earth was saved! But then one day his father-in-law called And told him to stay away - Ivanka would now run the world! “Pack your bags, she’s mine today!” Jared the No-man knew he had no choice that day — So he waved goodbye, Saying “don't you cry, I’ll be fine in East LA.!” 6. Joy to the World Joy to the world! The Trump is impeached! And soon we’ll get Pence too! What will Mitch McConnell do?! What will Stephen Miller do?! Run and hide then go to jail? Run and hide then go to jail? Run and hide then go to jail? Run and hide, run and hide Then go to jail! | |||
| 10 Jul 2020 | Ep. 99: One Full Wuhan Every Single Day in the USA (feat. Dr. Irwin Redlener) | 01:09:40 | |
Dr. Irwin Redlener is a nationally-renowned pediatrician, scholar, longtime advocate for children's health and a top expert on disaster preparedness who directs the Pandemic Resource and Response Initiative at Columbia University’s Earth Institute. He has been serving the American public blunt truths about the coronavirus pandemic from the very beginning, and he shares some frightening new assessments about where we might soon land: One million new cases EVERY DAY — and 800,000 to 1.5 million of us DEAD by November if we don't get our act together yesterday. He and Michael have an animated discussion about how Trump's America screwed up the response to Covid-19, how Joe Biden could actually just start leading the real pandemic response we need NOW (and from his basement!) which would save tens of thousands of lives, and finally Dr. Redlener gets Michael to promise to personally call Vice President Biden and tell him what he just told his podcast audience. The call will be made.

| 03 Aug 2022 | Ep. 251: EMERGENCY PODCAST SYSTEM — WE ARE ALL IN KANSAS! | 00:14:02 | |
THIS JUST IN: The citizens of the State of Kansas — which is one of our reddest and most Republican states — has just voted in an overwhelming landslide tonight to keep abortion legal and available to all women! Here Michael Moore sends the word out to all that those who seek to take rights away from women shall not succeed and will be defeated in this fall’s election. Voters in Kansas came out in droves on Tuesday to tell the Supreme Court where they could go. Their message to the rest of us is clear: We have 3 months to work as hard as we can to save our Democracy. All Democrats must sign a pledge to make Roe v Wade the law of the land — and to eliminate the filibuster. All Republicans who voted against certifying the legal results of the 2020 election must go to wherever traitors go.

| 29 Sep 2021 | Ep. 213: EMERGENCY PODCAST SYSTEM — Rep. Ilhan Omar | 00:30:59 | |
Congress could be on the verge of passing a historic investment in America's human and physical infrastructure not seen since the 1930's. The overwhelming majority of the Democratic caucus is behind it, the majority of Americans in countless opinion polls support it and it is the backbone of President Biden's domestic agenda. Yet two Democratic Senators -- Joe Manchin of West Virginia and Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona -- stand in the way of getting it done. Michael Moore is joined by Rep. Ilhan Omar on this Emergency Podcast System episode of Rumble to find out where this legislation currently stands and what the American people can do to help pass it. The answer: call Senator Sinema and Senator Manchin's offices and tell them to support the Build Back Better Act. Call 202-225-3121 or 202-224-3121
Why we're willing to put our votes on the line for the Build Back Better Act Democrats must be bold to save America from Republican attacks

| 30 May 2022 | Ep. 242: I Know There's a Number | 00:52:47 | |
This week was another sick celebration of the American way. And all week Michael has been haunted by this unanswered question — What is the number? Columbine wasn’t enough… Sandy Hook wasn’t enough… Parkland wasn’t enough… Will Robb Elementary be enough? How many dead children before America will rise up and scream “THAT’S IT! THAT IS ENOUGH”? On this episode of Rumble, Michael shares the brutal, honest truth — we are a violent, armed country, founded in genocide and built on the backs of slaves. But as history shows us, if we can face who we are, we can become the country, and the people, we want to be. ************* Music in today’s episode: “Emily Dickenson” — by Marvin Hamlisch (from the Original Motion Picture Soundtrack “Sophie’s Choice”) ************* This episode of Rumble is sponsored by: 1) Anchor.fm can help you start your own podcast.

| 19 Jun 2020 | Ep. 93: Juneteenth (feat. Congresswoman Barbara Lee, D-CA, The granddaughter of a slave) | 00:44:38 | |
Two and a half years after President Abraham Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation was supposed to have freed the slaves, news of the war ending — and that Lincoln had freed the slaves back in 1863 — finally made it to Galveston, Texas, on June 19th, 1965. So Texas, against its will, finally re-joined the rest of the Union, all slaves were freed and Juneteenth is now the holiday truly commemorating the freeing of all the slaves in America. Congresswoman Barbara Lee's grandfather was born a slave in Galveston post-Emancipation Proclamation, but weeks before Juneteenth, making this commemoration especially meaningful to Rep. Lee and her family. On this 155th commemoration of Juneteenth, Rep. Lee joins Michael to discuss the never-ending struggle for freedom for Black Americans and her courageous, lone vote against a never-ending war, 3 days after 9/11. ************ Read More About Rep. Lee's proposal for a U.S. Commission on Truth, Racial Healing, and Transformation: https://www.sfchronicle.com/opinion/openforum/article/How-a-Truth-and-Reconciliation-Commission-could-15338714.php Barbara Lee’s Lone Vote on Sept. 14, 2001, Was as Prescient as It Was Brave and Heroic ********************** Music from the episode: Alice Walker and friends sing Lift Every Voice Beyoncé - Lift Every Voice and Sing ********************** Juneteenth is the oldest nationally celebrated commemoration of the ending of slavery in the United States. Dating back to 1865, it was on June 19th that the Union soldiers, led by Major General Gordon Granger, landed at Galveston, Texas with news that the war had ended and that the enslaved were now free. The Emancipation Proclamation of 1863 had had little impact on the Texans due to the minimal number of Union troops to enforce the new Executive Order. However, with the surrender of General Lee in April of 1865, and the arrival of General Granger’s regiment, the forces were finally strong enough to influence and overcome the resistance of the white racist slave owners and the poor white population willing to die for those rich racist bastards. Crazy! Texas today is no longer a “white state.” 58% of its population is now made up of Black, Hispanic, Asian and other people of color. ********************** | |||

| 12 Aug 2020 | Ep. 109: The Radical Left-Wing Anarchist Mob for Biden-Harris | 00:38:18 | |
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.

| 30 Dec 2019 | Ep. 10: Reconsidering Ralph (feat. Ralph Nader) | 00:53:13 | |
Michael Moore and Ralph Nader have a complicated relationship. So during his trip to D.C. to witness the impeachment of Donald Trump, Michael was surprised when he bumped into Ralph while visiting the office of Flint's representative in Congress. They ended up having their first real conversation in nearly 20 years. Ralph agreed to let Michael record it for this podcast.

| 06 Jul 2023 | Ep. 294: The Scoundrel Court | 01:30:59 | |
Michael Moore celebrates our country’s birthday week by going after the Supreme Court and suggesting ways to remove the Justices who have perjured themselves, been caught talking huge sums of money from billionaires and how all six right wing Justices have committed various ethical and financial infractions — but have not been sanctioned or removed. Oh, they’ve also taken wholesale rights away from women, the LGBTQ+ community and people of color. Plus, they’ve gutted the EPA, expanded gun “rights,” and killed Biden’s student loan debt relief plan. The Supreme Court is now the most disliked and distrusted government institution in the land. Michael goes over how their removal of the Roe v Wade decision has the vast majority of the country against them now. And enough of the righties on the court are worried about their “legacy” or their possible removal from the court. The more we organize against them, the better it will get. Time to rock this not-so-supreme boat.

| 20 Aug 2020 | Ep. 111: What Joe Biden Must Do To Win. And What We Must Do To Win. (feat. Briahna Joy Gray) | 01:32:48 | |
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.

The first steps in using Michael Moore’s 2024 Election Toolkit are easy: 1. Get your head on straight and put your game face on. Own this one important fact: YOU belong to the Majority! Most Americans have had enough of Trump. Most Americans believe in what Kamala believes in: women’s rights, basic freedoms, Justice for all, a home of one’s own, economic democracy, peace, and a fair shake for all. 2. Go Public! Take today and write your personal declaration to your friends and family as to why you’re voting for Kamala Harris and the Dems on November 5th. Put a sign in the yard. Sign up to volunteer at your local Democratic Party. There’s much work to be done! 3. Never forget: You are not alone! But if you vote alone, we lose. Join with other groups and like-minded people to make this election a historic movement to save our Democracy! More to come in Mike’s next Substacks and Podcasts!

| 21 May 2021 | Ep. 191: Everybody In The Pool! w/ Heather McGhee | 01:03:48 | |
How is it that the richest and most powerful country in the world can't provide even the most basic of human needs for its citizens? What has been holding America back when much poorer countries are able to provide a more stable social safety net? Heather McGhee, one of our most thoughtful economic and policy thinkers has a new book out explaining that racism -- specifically the fear by white Americans that any gains by Black Americans come at their expense -- has reliably turned the majority of white Americans AGAINST government programs that would help all Americans for fear that it would be beneficial to people of color. She joins Michael to discuss what we can do to overcome this decades-long propaganda campaign that has afflicted white America, and how the idea of a "solidarity dividend" can unite a multi-racial, cross-class coalition to take on concentrated wealth and power and build a better country.

| 13 Jun 2020 | Ep. 90: No More Police State (feat. Alex S. Vitale) | 00:58:09 | |
The idea of police "reform" has been tried and has failed. Rather than call for milquetoast reforms that leave the structure of U.S. law enforcement in place, many of the protestors are calling to "defund the police." Michael is joined by Alex S. Vitale, author of "The End of Policing" to explain what this means, how this works, any why settling for half-measures will result in more police violence against Black Americans.

| 30 Dec 2022 | Ep. 272: "Blue Dots in a Red Sea" Part 5: “Need Help? Call the Democrats!” | 00:20:10 | |
On this episode of Mike’s mission to turn Red into Blue, he offers a number of specific ideas for progressives and liberals (who are stuck in deep red parts of the country) to establish liberal Democratic outposts that provide real, everyday help to anyone in need, regardless of their political affiliation. Mike believes that once a few people see how it’s the libs and the Dems who are truly here to help, a seismic political shift will begin. Nothing says “love your enemy” more than giving his kid a free winter coat or some tutoring help on his daughter’s history test. Soon the citizens of Red Snake County will see it’s the Democrats who are here to help. This episode is a must-listen. Send it to friends and families trapped in red districts.

| 25 Aug 2020 | Ep. 113: I'm Voting For Joe Biden Because I Don't Believe Him | 01:06:21 | |
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.

| 15 Apr 2020 | Ep. 69: Your Beloved Private Health Insurance (feat. Wendell Potter) | 01:21:43 | |
When Michael Moore made the Oscar-nominated film SiCKO about America's health care system, Wendell Potter was a Vice President and "chief propagandist" at health insurance giant Cigna. He and his colleagues devised a plan to "push Michael Moore off a cliff" due to fear that the film would expose the corruption of their industry. Potter's role was to fly to Michigan, infiltrate the premiere of the film, and and spy on and discredit Moore. Not long after watching the film, Potter experienced a crisis of conscience and could no longer continue lying on behalf of America's health insurers. He became a whistleblower, spilled the beans about how his former business operates and is now a vocal advocate for a true, government-backed, universal health care system in America. He joins Michael to recount their bizarre first meeting, expose the lie that Americans love their private health insurance and figure out health care in America post-coronavirus pandemic. *********** Watch Michael Moore's 2007 classic SiCKO here: or here: *********** Read Wendell Potter's books!

| 04 Mar 2024 | Ep. 310: Biden Must Save Biden From Himself. It's the Only Way to Ensure Trump Never Sets Foot in the Oval Office Again. | 00:45:49 | |
Over 100,000 Michigan voters in the Democratic Presidential Primary last week sent a message to Biden. Their message was strong and clear: End this war. Stop funding Israel's slaughter. Young voters in this 21st century will not support a president who funds a massacre, and if Biden continues to ignore the wishes of the vast majority of Americans, he will lose thousands of people in November who simply won't vote, and Trump will win by default.

| 01 Mar 2020 | Ep. 44: Super Tuesday Preview, Part 2 - The Establishment Strikes Back | 00:36:13 | |
The Democratic political, corporate and media establishment were giddy on Saturday night as the South Carolina election returns showed a big victory for Joe Biden. They appear to have found their candidate to take on Bernie Sanders. With Super Tuesday looming, Michael looks ahead to what might become a Biden vs. Bernie contest for the future of the Democratic Party and America. | |||
| 18 Mar 2024 | Ep. 311: Down is Up, War Is Peace, Ignorance is Strength — or, There Is No Such Thing as Abdominal Surgery, and Why You’re Afraid Trump Could Win. | 01:01:24 | |
On today’s podcast with Michael Moore, Mike answers the burning questions surrounding the disappearance of the Princess of Wales and then dumps a bucket of ice water on us so we can wake up and finally admit the Central Truths we didn’t want to acknowledge in 2016: A. Trump is smarter than us. If you don’t think so, then stop right now and tell me how YOU could get elected President while sexually assaulting women (then bragging about it); lying about your worth in order to defraud banks and not pay your taxes; and finally ordering state officials to stuff a ballot box with 11,780 nonexistent votes for you. He may be an idiot and a bigot, but he’s also an evil genius (with the emphasis on genius). B. Trump has never been convicted of a crime, and has never spent a single night in jail. How delusional do we have to be to believe that after a 50-year career of Trump committing one perfect crime after another that suddenly now his unbroken streak of evading the law is going to come to an end?! C. The Special Prosecutor will not save us. Fani Willis will not save us. The Trump-appointed Bankers Boxes judge will not save us. The electoral college will definitely not save us. Joe Biden’s campaign staff will not save us. Stormy Daniels will not save us. The only ones who can save us is ourselves. Are you ready?

| 29 Jun 2020 | Ep. 95: Are We Ready For The Big Trump Surprise? | 00:40:51 | |
We are in the middle of a perfect storm of white supremacy, fascism, a police killing spree, an uprising against it, the Coronavirus pandemic, and a mad genius who will be willing to fake his own vaccine shot just to get re-elected in an election he has no intention of holding. If Tulsa taught him anything it was that he cannot trust the poor redneck racists to come out for him. So he’s already on to Plan Z while we’re wondering what B is. Michael weaves together all of these elements and raises the question about what a desperate Trump is plotting between now and November 3rd — and invites his listeners to help him come up with a series of strategies to guarantee Trump’s unconditional surrender. ******** Email your ideas to Mike at: mike@michaelmoore.com ******** Music in episode: BET Awards Performance: Chuck D, Nas, YG, Black Thought & Rapsody - "Fight the Power" https://www.bet.com/video/betawards/2020/performances/chuck-d-nas-black-thought-and-rapsody.html The violin at the end was part of a vigil for Elijah McClain in Aurora that was interrupted by a Swat Team.

| 07 Apr 2023 | Ep. 287: EMERGENCY PODCAST SYSTEM — Democracy Suspended in Tennessee | 00:34:40 | |
When you’re young, you can only take so much b.s. And when you watch a bunch of older white racist Southern men — i.e., the Republican supermajority of the Tennessee House of Representatives — attack two young black elected House members for “improper decorum” when they spoke out against gun violence just two days after the mass school shooting last week in Nashville, well racist acts are nothing new to the state where the KKK was born. So last night the Tennessee House Republicans expelled the two young Black Democratic representatives for daring to give voice to those too young to vote — but old enough to be killed at school. It was a stunning moment in the fight against those who seek to destroy our Democracy. In this Emergency Podcast System episode of Rumble, recorded moments after the final vote, Mike reveals the silver lining: the more young adults who watch the footage of this travesty, the sooner we will witness the eventual demise of the white man’s Republican Party. ******************** Watch the Tennessee House debate and vote on Resolutions to remove Democratic Representatives Justin Jones, Gloria Johnson, and Justin Pearson online at C-Span.org: https://www.c-span.org/video/?527219-1/tennessee-general-assembly-votes-expel-democrats&live&vod ******************** Write to Mike: mike@michaelmoore.com | |||

He joins Michael to discuss the problem with lumping together "people of color," why political attempts at "unity" have often been at the expense of and to the detriment of Black Americans and minority groups, and his radical geographic plan for how to increase the political and economic power of Black American as he's detailed in his new manifesto. How does 14 Black Senators sound?

The U.S. Senate is on the brink of passing a massive corporate giveaway that will be yet another transfer of wealth from the American people to the wealthy. It was described by HuffPost's Zach Carter like this: "It is not an economic rescue package, but a sentence of unprecedented economic inequality and corporate control over our politics that will resonate for a generation. It represents a transfer of wealth and power to the super rich from the rest of us, with the support of both political parties ― a damning statement about the condition of American democracy."

Perhaps the most important job your new Blue Man and Woman Group needs to do is to find candidates to run as Democrats and win! In a red county! The last three national elections in 2018, 2020 and 2022 saw many liberal/left/progressive Democrats defeat Republicans in red states and counties across America. Every district, every county in the red states has thousands of people who are pro-choice, pro-earth, anti-racist, anti-gerrymandering and believe the way you believe. If you are forming a new group of like-minded people in your area, make one of your first jobs be candidate recruitment. You must find the right people to run in 2024. Not the same old well-meaning folks who always lose. New blood! Fresh faces! Women, young adults, beloved citizens of your town. Not politician types. Just good people who will listen to voters and work hard to win their votes. Community heroes, progressive preachers, Girl Scout leaders, everyone’s favorite English teacher. When they run as Democrats, especially in red areas, now they often win. The effort to find the right candidates must happen now. Get with your friends and brainstorm a list. The right candidates exist on your street. In this episode of Rumble, Michael Moore lays out how progressives can win in red districts. It all comes down to casting!

Michael Moore announced today that he is releasing a brand new documentary film and is offering it as a gift, free of charge, in the midst of the global pandemic. Planet of the Humans, a documentary that dares to say what no one else will this Earth Day — that we are losing the battle to stop climate change on planet earth because we are following leaders who have taken us down the wrong road — selling out the green movement to wealthy interests and corporate America. This film is the wake-up call to the reality we are afraid to face: that in the midst of a human-caused extinction event, the environmental movement’s answer is to push for techno-fixes and band-aids. It's too little, too late. On this special episode of RUMBLE, Michael is joined by the director of the film, Jeff Gibbs, and producer Ozzie Zehner. Watch the full movie "Planet of the Humans" here!

Oliver Stone is one of the most provocative and influential filmmakers in modern times, directing such films as "Salvador," "Platoon," "Born on the Fourth of July," "Wall Street," and writing others such as "Scarface" and "Midnight Express."

He was a Trump supporter who was led to believe that he was safe from the virus because of President Trump, Arizona Governor Doug Ducey and Fox News downplaying the risks. Since his passing, Kristin has dedicated herself to keeping the memory of all COVID-19 victims alive, sharing accurate public information about the pandemic, and never letting anyone forget about the mismanagement and misinformation from Trump and his enablers that have led to all of these preventable deaths.

A declaration is something like “I declare that in 2020 I’m going to help get the minimum wage raised to $20 an hour!” or “I declare that I’m going to buy less crap in 2020 because our overconsumption is killing the planet!” or “I declare that in 2020 I’m only going to wash my hair once a week and I will only shop the outer ring aisles of the grocery store where the fresher foods are.” Or whatever you want! Send your 2020 Declaration to Michael (as early as you can today) and he will share some of them on his New Year's Day podcast tomorrow. You can send your #2020Declaration 3 ways: 1. Tweet Michael at @mmflint and use the hashtag #2020Declaration 2. Email: mike@michaelmoore.com 3. Send a voicemail through Anchor at the link below (must be 60 seconds or less!) | |||
| 18 Nov 2021 | Ep. 220: An Inflated Sense of Inflation (w/ Stephanie Kelton) | 01:08:42 | |
To help us untangle the lies around inflation panic, the so-called “labor shortage,” and Build Back Better, Mike is joined by Professor of Economics and Public Policy at Stony Brook University, Stephanie Kelton. They also discuss why it is foolish for Democrats to place the fate of their agenda in the hands of the Congressional Budget Office, and what’s really going on with the economy, as capitalists attempt to keep a pool of workers chronically unemployed and underemployed and desperate for work.

In the wake of Bernie Sanders' exit from the Presidential race, and in the midst of the global pandemic, he joins Michael to discuss choosing sides between milquetoast neoliberals and vicious neofascists, Ludwig van Beethoven, Jim Clyburn and wrestling with despair. *************** SPECIAL OFFER FOR RUMBLE LISTENERS: Get a one-month free trial of Audible!

In recent episodes of Rumble, Michael Moore has shared his ideas for an alternative to the American way of policing: The Department of Public Safety & Compassion. He's also shared his ideas for an alternative to our brutal and racist system of mass incarceration: The Department of Restorative Justice & Redemption. In this episode, Mike is joined by Desmond Cole, an award-winning journalist and activist who recently published his first book called “The Skin We’re In: A Year of Black Resistance & Power.” They discuss the intellectual underpinnings of the movement to defund the police and abolish the prison system, why white liberals should not fear these ideas, and how our society will be better off when we decide to treat each other differently. Plus, Mike shares an update on Darnella Frazier, the courageous teenager who filmed the execution of George Floyd. On Tuesday night her uncle was killed by Minneapolis police who were in the middle of a reckless car chase. Madness. Tragic. 3 Special offers for Rumble listeners!

| 29 Oct 2020 | Ep. 134: How To Legally Double Or Triple Your Vote | 00:41:59 | |
Michael Moore shares some good news and some bad news. First, the bad: you CANNOT mail your ballot in anymore. It's too late. The Trump administration's sabotage of the postal service, and the potential for the courts to not allow counting ballots that arrive after November 3rd makes it too risky. If you have a mail-in or absentee ballot, you MUST drop it off in-person or vote on election day.

| 29 Feb 2020 | Ep. 43: Super Tuesday Preview, Part 1 - Coronavirus Don | 00:38:56 | |
Four days until Super Tuesday, Michael lays out the stakes of how important Tuesday's elections are what role coronavirus will play in shaping our views of this election. We are only as safe as the human being who has no health insurance or access to medical care. A nation that has millions of people who are not insured or are under-insured means that millions of American's are encouraged to NOT seek tests or treatment - which makes the coronavirus that much more dangerous. *********** Watch "SiCKO" here: | |||

| 20 Jan 2021 | Ep. 157: Let America Be America Again - Inauguration 2021 (feat. Langston Hughes) | 00:30:04 | |
It's over. It's finally fucking over. Donald Trump's presidency is finished. On Inauguration Day 2021, Mike takes us back to Inauguration eve 2017, hours before Donald Trump was to be sworn in as President, where he read Langston Hughes' very timely 1935 poem "Let America Be America Again" at 3AM in a Washington D.C. hotel room. Mike recounts that night in D.C., on the brink of Trump's presidency (and Women's March the following day) and also shares new thoughts on how, four years later, in a militarized "Green Zone" in our nation's Capital, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris take the reigns of a beaten and bruised nation, but one full of promise.

| 17 Nov 2020 | Ep. 140: Action Is the Antidote To Despair (feat. "Planet of the Humans" Filmmakers Jeff Gibbs & Ozzie Zehner) | 01:27:46 | |
In the aftermath of Max Blumenthal's explosive investigative piece about the green billionaires and their allies who tried to suppress "Planet of the Humans," Michael Moore welcomes back director Jeff Gibbs and producer Ozzie Zehner for their first reactions to this bombshell report. They also discuss why we have been unable to cut our reliance on fossil fuels, how economic growth is killing us, and why climate change is a negative symptom of a larger environmental crisis that we've been failing to address with a holistic approach due to our society's addiction to the profit motive. Additionally, they discuss how a Biden administration should address our planetary emergency, how to improve and expand upon the current Green New Deals that have been proposed and why growth, consumption and capitalism are at the heart of the “climate” problem.

| 31 Jul 2020 | Ep. 105: EMERGENCY PODCAST SYSTEM — Don't Let Trump ‘Delay the Election’ | 00:25:22 | |
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. Call your Senators & Congressperson: 202-225-3121 Call Your Governor and tell them to publicly affirm that the election will be held on November 3rd! https://www.usa.gov/state-governor Trump's Tweet: https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1288818160389558273 Here is Republican Governor Sununu of New Hampshire affirming that the New Hampshire election will be held on November 3rd: https://twitter.com/GovChrisSununu/status/1288843155853512709 The transcript for this episode is available here: https://rumble.media/episode/episode-105-emergency-podcast-system-dont-let-trump-delay-the-election/ | |||

He joined us last week during our celebration of Rumble surpassing 25 million downloads. He and Michael discuss the first several weeks of the Biden administration, the difference between "Scranton Joe" and "Delaware Joe," how Trumpism is a "revolt against the future," and looking ahead to how America will become a "superpower of color." | |||

| 16 Mar 2022 | Ep. 233: Temptations of War | 00:56:58 | |
It's been three weeks since Putin invaded Ukraine. Three... long... weeks. Three weeks of an endless, looping news cycle. Change the channel — same story, different pundits. But behind the horrific videos of tanks blowing up cars and dead bodies in the streets, behind the escalating, heartbreaking stories of refugees fleeing in terror and American journalists being killed, Michael senses something more sinister is at play. We, the American public, who never met a war we didn’t like, are being manipulated by other Americans who are trying to take us to war. Politicians, pundits, ex-Generals and corporate masters looking for greater profits. And no heartstring will be left unplayed until they have our ear and we the people are demanding blood. The only thing for us to do is to fight back and make it clear — No Americans in Ukraine, no air war with Russia, no World War III. ************** Call the House and Senate switchboard at: 202-224-3121 202-225-3121 Find out how to contact your Senator here.
