100,000 Americans have died since New Year's Day due to the coronavirus. The decades-long planned bombardment of the federal government, started by Ronald Reagan and completed by Donald Trump, has left us with a feckless, confused, and backwards response to the Covid-19 pandemic. Fortunately, we have a new, Democratic administration trying to fix this mess, but Michael Moore has an even bolder idea: A World War II-level aggressive American government action needed to prevent hundreds of thousands of more unnecessary deaths in the coming months. Mike also shares his surprising early impressions of the first weeks of the Biden/Harris administration.




Biden's centrist words, liberal actions

Ep. 313: Eve of Destruction

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.

Ep. 312: This Podcast and Palestine Before October 7th

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. 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.

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.

Ep. 310: Biden Must Save Biden From Himself. It's the Only Way to Ensure Trump Never Sets Foot in the Oval Office Again.

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."
