The Michael Moore Podcast

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.

As President-Elect Biden and Vice President-Elect Harris plan their transition to the White House (and as President Trump and his allies plan a coup) Michael Moore pens an open letter to our next President thanking him for successfully defeating Trump and making suggestions on what his first steps in office should be.

On the verge of the End of Trump, just as Biden went ahead of Trump in Georgia at 4:30 in the morning, Michael Moore couldn’t sleep. So he turned on the cable news to watch the results and decided to go on Facebook Live to see if anyone else couldn’t sleep. Lo and behold - it was like Christmas morning! Mike decided to just hit play and share it with his podcast audience by publishing this moment raw right here on RUMBLE. No candidate has reached 270 electoral votes yet. Any time now...

It’s either the end of Trump, or the end of that which gave us Trump. Or both. Michael Moore offers a plan to have today’s Rumble listeners get 1 million voters to the polls. And what we need to do to prepare for Trump’s attempt to stop the counting of ballots and seize the election. This is the moment we’ve dreaded and the moment we make history.

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! Michael Moore’s Election Day Mixtape 2020 - Play It At the Polls!

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. But there's some good news: following yesterday's episode, more Rumble listeners are finding out how easy it is to double (or triple!) their votes. It's simple! Michael also shares some of your emails and voicemails responding to his question of what we will do if the Republicans steal the election.

With less than a week from Judgement Day, Michael Moore shares his raw, anxiety-filled thoughts about where the country stands now. Record numbers of absentee ballots have been requested, record numbers of Americans have voted early, while Trump and McConnell have just rammed through another arch-conservative to the most powerful weapon in the Republican party arsenal -- the Supreme Court. Trump, his Justice Department, Republican operatives throughout the country, and his partisan backers on the Supreme Court are all openly flexing their anti-democratic muscles and preparing to steal the election by any means necessary. From blowing up the U.S. Postal Service to slowing the mail down, to shutting down polling locations, to this week's Supreme Court ruling that mailed-in ballots in Wisconsin that arrive after November 3rd due to the slow mail will not be counted, their quest for power has no limits. The prospect of the Democrats overwhelmingly winning the popular vote, but Republicans claiming an Electoral College victory after months of voter suppression, threats of violence and legal challenges, is all too real. So while we have rightfully been wondering for years what would happen if Trump refused to accept the election results, the most important question might actually be -- will WE accept the election results after THEY steal it????

Michael Moore is joined by legendary broadcaster Keith Olbermann who explains his decision to leave ESPN in order to get back into the political fray with his "Worst Person In the World" series on YouTube. They discuss why Trump is a "stochastic" terrorist, the big mistake President Obama made that Olbermann hopes a possible President Biden does not repeat, and the time Joe Biden asked Olbermann to lunch to ask for public speaking advice. Additionally, Michael paints a stark and scary picture of one of many thuggish tactics Trump may try before the election, plus he shares a weekend to-do list to help get out the vote!

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? In this special episode, Michael shares a personal story from 1971, when a close friend of his had an unplanned pregnancy in their home state of Michigan, where abortion was illegal. He recounts their plan to drive to Buffalo, since New York was one of the first states to allow women to have this medical procedure legally. This true story originally appeared in Mike's autobiographical book of short stories, "Here Comes Trouble: Stories From My Life" and he shares it here on Rumble as a lesson for what may be coming back to America.
