Ep. 312: This Podcast and Palestine Before October 7th
On today's episode of Rumble, Michael reflects on the continued onslaught against the people of Gaza by Benjamin Netanyahu and the bombs the US is sending him. As history repeats itself, Michael looks back on previous discussions of the Palestinian struggle on Rumble to talk about how journalists both here and in Palestine have been persecuted, how a one state solution is the real path to peace, and how visiting occupied Palestine as a young journalist changed him.  Previous episodes featured: Episode 190: Tax Day In America… Time To Fund The Killing Of More Palestinians!

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.

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.
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?

Ep. 309: In Michigan Tuesday, We Ask the President to Listen to Michigan
Stunned by his refusal to stop funding Netanyahu’s slaughter in Gaza with our tax dollars — an action that may return Trump to the Oval Office — thousands in Michigan who are demanding an immediate ceasefire, including the statewide teachers union, the United Auto Workers, the National Nurses Union and the union of flight attendants(!) plus many others on Tuesday will vote “Uncommitted” to help save Biden from himself… and save the rest of us from a 2nd Term Trump. As Michelle Goldberg wrote in the Times on Friday, "Biden is in danger of losing Michigan and, with it, the whole election."

Ep. 299: GOP-RIP, Thank You Fani, Help/No help, for Maui, Traitors, T**** and the 14th Amendment
It’s a grab bag of insanity on Michael Moore’s podcast this week as he declares the Republican Party DOA (although he detects it’s still barely breathing and there’s no death certificate yet). Sooo…  Also, a big thank you to Fani Willis, the District Attorney in Atlanta for filing the indictment of indictments, a masterpiece of Justice. Her father was a criminal defense lawyer and a member of the Black Panther Party — she is the fighter we’ve needed. She’s gonna shut the whole Trump mob operation down.  All that and more on Episode #299 of Rumble with Michael Moore. Enjoy!

Ep. 298: EMERGENCY PODCAST SYSTEM — INDICTED! RACKETEERING!! It Turns Out Trump Really Is a Mobster.

Ep. 298: EMERGENCY PODCAST SYSTEM — INDICTED! RACKETEERING!! It Turns Out Trump Really Is a Mobster.
Just moments ago, as the clock was ready to strike midnight, Fani Willis, the District Attorney of Fulton, Co., Georgia, announced that a citizens Grand Jury has voted to indict former president Donald J. Trump and his 18 Co-Conspirators (including Rudy Giuliani, Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, lawyer John Eastman and others) on 41 counts of racketeering and other criminal acts for conspiring to form an “organized crime enterprise” which attempted to “illegally overturn the 2020 presidential election” through theft, fraud, forgery, impersonating law enforcement, impersonating electors to the Electoral College, and for conspiring with other top elected Republican officials in six other states, plus Republican leaders in the District of Columbia, to overthrow the election and re-seat Trump in the Oval Office for a 2nd term — even though Trump lost the election by 7 million votes. The prosecutor is charging Trump and his crime group under the RICO statutes that are used to convict and imprison those involved in mob-like crimes.  The 90-page indictment lists the commission of “161 overt criminal acts” — a breathtaking, comprehensive list of crimes in an enterprise led by Trump (click here to read the actual indictment). The DA spent nearly two years on her extensive investigation. It reads like no stone was left unturned, with a massive amount of evidence obtained by the prosecutors in her office. It also states that there are 30 other “unnamed, unindicted co-conspirators” who may be indicted at a later time. So at least 48 people joined Trump in forming his organized crime family to overthrow our Democracy. Unbelievable. How close did we come to losing this country? This Emergency Podcast System edition of “Rumble with Michael Moore” offers an urgent, immediate analysis of this historic moment — and how We, the People, need to stay thoroughly informed and be as active as we ever have been as citizens of this country. This is not the time to have “Trump Fatigue.” This is the moment to put this traitor on trial and make sure that this criminal who has gotten away with EVERYTHING for over 50 YEARS, finally faces Justice. Please take 18 minutes to listen to how Mike sees the events of last night — and what we must do to make sure this never happens again.

Ep. 297: From Maui to Ohio, It’s a Wildfire of Immense Intensity

Ep. 297: From Maui to Ohio, It’s a Wildfire of Immense Intensity
Whether it’s the Planet in collapse or a Party out of control, this is a summer of death and hope. Michael Moore breaks down the failure to protect the people of Maui but also the will of the voters in Ohio to stand up for women’s rights. The official cover-up has already begun in Hawaii as those in charge are unable to explain why over a hundred people (or more) had to die. The overwhelming vote last week to stop the Christian jihad against the majority gender was breathtaking, considering it happened in Ohio of all places. It portends a massive turnout in next year’s presidential election where, if we all do our job and the Democrats show some guts, there won’t be enough bankers boxes left to hide in at Mar-a-Lago. In the meantime, let’s demand that our elected representatives send help to Maui, and each of us do what we can to contribute to the recovery.

Ep. 294: The Scoundrel Court
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.
