The Michael Moore Podcast

In this Rumble episode #7 of “Blue Dots in a Red Sea,” Michael Moore invites you to join him in his list of New Year’s resolutions intended to increase the level Democracy in the United States.  Gerrymandering, the Electoral College, and the Filibuster have no place in a democracy and must be eliminated. Red states will remain red as long as the right wing draws the maps and “elects” candidates who lose the popular vote. Mike suggest a list of 10 things we must do to bring true democracy to this country.   For more of Michael's work, subscribe to his Substack at MichaelMoore.com. ******************** ICYMI: Blue Dots in a Red Sea (A New Blue Tsunami Series) Episode 1: Our Next “Impossible” Blue Tsunami Task: How to Win When You’re Blue in a Red State Episode 2: You Are Not Alone.

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!

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.

Now that you know there are THOUSANDS of like-minded progressives, liberals, Democrats, independents and nonvoters in your red county and state, it’s time to get to work and have a gathering of this new Blue Tsunami movement. It’s time to either jump in and grow the existing local Democratic Party or, better yet, start your own Dem org if a seriously active and successful one doesn’t currently exist.  On this quickie episode of Michael Moore’s special series this week (and next) of mini podcasts — “Blue Dots in a Red Sea” — Mike lays out a simple plan to create a new Blue movement in your red town, county and state. It’s going to attract new people, young people, and we’re going to have fun flipping one red office holder after another. Please give it a listen and share with others — especially your sister who got transferred to Texas or your aunt who’s now wondering why was she so excited about retiring in Florida.  For more of Michael's work, subscribe to his Substack at michaelmoore.com. ******************** Music in this episode: “Blue Skies” — Ella Fitzgerald ******************** Episode underwriter: 1) Anchor.fm can help you start your own podcast.

SPOILER ALERT! Your neighbors and coworkers are a lot more progressive than you think. They already agree with you on so many things. If you talk to them, not about Democrats vs. Republicans but rather about clean air vs. polluted air, or the Golden Rule vs. the Rule of the Bullies, or women being paid the same as men vs. not, you’ll find more agreement with each other than not. So your Blue army is much bigger than you thought. In this third episode of Michael Moore’s special 12-day mini podcast series — "Blue Dots in a Red Sea" — spreading his strategy of how we can turn red into blue across the country, Mike helps you find the people who already agree with you but would never call themselves a Democrat.  This is how we win.

No matter how isolated you feel living in your conservative town, how lonely it seems in your Trumpster county, how appalling it is to be in your Republican state, the truth is you are surrounded by thousands of like-minded people who voted for Biden and who will fight for change. It just takes the effort of finding them and then acting together. Isn’t saving this country worth the try? In this episode of Michael Moore’s special Rumble series, “Blue Dots in a Red Sea,” Mike tells you how to find your fellow travelers and the beautiful havoc you can all raise together to stop the madness, the hatred and the bigotry you’ve been drowning in from Florida to Texas to Montana. Those days are about to end.  Listen and share with others.

On this episode of Rumble with Michael Moore, Mike dives deep into our biggest terrorist threat — us. Or, more specifically, the fact that one of our two major parties is led by hundreds of elected officials who still want to overthrow the government by overturning the 2020 election AND by suppressing the votes of Black Americans. Mike calls these efforts an act of treason. Plus, the current and still twice-impeached leader of that party has now called for the "termination" of the United States Constitution — and the demand that he be installed as our unelected dictator. Madness! But it’s real, it’s still with us, and in 3 weeks 118 House members and 10 U.S Senators — all of whom voted on the night of January 6, 2021 to overturn the election — will be sworn in as part of our 118th US Congress. This sacred headquarters of our Democracy will house 128 traitors who tried to overthrow our government. What are we to do about this? To help create and cement the historical record, Mike names the names of each one of these traitors.

This week the world lost an incredible force of good, the godmother of the modern documentary, Julia Reichert, whose groundbreaking work inspired countless filmmakers that followed — including 17-year-old Michael Moore in 1971 when he drove his parents' car to Ann Arbor to watch her first film, Growing Up Female, a subversive feminist documentary, in an auditorium on the University of Michigan campus. Years later, they would become friends, and today on Rumble, Michael pays tribute to Julia. Also, fresh off the United States Men’s soccer team’s loss in the 2022 World Cup, Michael shares his take on the world’s game of football, and gives one final push to Rumble listeners to Get Out the Vote for Senator Raphael Warnock before the final midterm runoff election in Georgia this Tuesday.
