The Michael Moore Podcast

During Michael Moore's 12-day tour of Iowa, a trope used against the Sanders campaign was constantly being upended - the myth of the "Bernie Bro." The majority of Sanders supporters are women, and during a stop at the M and M independent bookstore in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, 3 of these Iowa "Bernie Bros" sat down with Michael for a conversation.

Michael is joined by actor, writer, director, playwright and Academy Award-winner Tim Robbins. They discuss how a theater teacher saved Tim's life, the time Michael got mugged in New York City, Clint Eastwood, the unique power of live theater, Bob Roberts and Tim's new play, "The New Colossus." ********************** Tim's play "The New Colossus" is touring the U.S.: https://theactorsgang.com/2017/09/the-new-colossus/ More info about "Bob Roberts" https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0103850/ More info about "Cradle Will Rock" https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0150216/ ********************** Subscribe to “RUMBLE with Michael Moore” on: Apple https://apple.co/rumble 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...

The Senate is set to begin the impeachment trial of Donald J. Trump and the Republicans have devised a plan to prevent any witnesses from appearing. Call your Senator and demand that witnesses - especially John Bolton - be called to testify. This will be a show trial without it.

The failures of liberal half measures, compromise and "third way" politics has opened the door for right-wing demagogues to take power. It has also re-awakened a militant and energized left to combat both the wackadoodle right and the tepid center. We're seeing this play out in American politics and the 2020 Democratic primary. Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor is a scholar, author and activist. Her writing and speaking has incisively and ferociously exposed the failures of capitalism and the necessity of a fierce struggle to overcome it. She joins Michael to discuss how the hell we got here and how we liberate ourselves. ********** "Five Years Later, Do Black Lives Matter?" https://jacobinmag.com/2019/09/black-lives-matter-laquan-mcdonald-mike-brown-eric-garner "How Real Estate Segregated America" https://www.dissentmagazine.org/article/how-real-estate-segregated-america-fair-housing-act-race Read about and order Keeanga's books here: http://www.keeangataylor.com/books.html Follow Keeanga on Twitter here: https://twitter.com/KeeangaYamahtta ******************** Subscribe to “RUMBLE with Michael Moore” on: Apple apple.co/rumble 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: https://twitter.com/MMFlint Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/mmflint/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/michaelfmoore/ ********************

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: https://www.npr.org/2017/08/24/545812242/1-in-10-sanders-primary-voters-ended-up-supporting-trump-survey-finds *******

176 passengers on a Ukrainian passenger jet were all killed after it was shot down this weekend. The government of Iran admitted that they mistakenly shot it down, days after Donald Trump ordered the assassination a top Iranian leader who was in Iraq, setting off 72 hours of chaos and heightened tensions. If not for America's illegal and unjustified assassination, wouldn't these 176 passengers still be alive? Michael discusses America's history in Iran, the stupidity of pro-war Democrats, and the balmy winter weather on the East Coast. ******************** Subscribe to “RUMBLE with Michael Moore” on: Apple apple.co/rumble 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: https://twitter.com/MMFlint Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/mmflint/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/michaelfmoore/ ********************

Michael Moore lays out the case for how and why the Senate can convict and remove Donald Trump from office. It requires us demanding there be witnesses — there is no trial in a free country without witnesses. John Bolton holds the secret. YOU and this phone number can make it happen: 202-224-3121. Hear Mike’s urgent call to action on this episode of Rumble.
