What would a Great Depression/World War II-like mobilization of American society look like if we were to attempt to fix our country and society today in the midst of the pandemic? Do we, as Americans, have the will, the ideas, the courage or the leadership to care for the sick, protect the vulnerable, and then, revitalize our economy and fix the ugly aspects of our society that Covid-19 has exposed? Michael discusses these big issues with James K. Galbraith, a scholar, author and one of the pre-eminent economists of our time. Generations ago, when America faced the fallout of the Great Depression and World War II, James' father, John Kenneth Galbraith was the legendary economic thinker who Roosevelt, Truman and Kennedy turned to help steer America and and re-shape the post-war society.  ************** Protect Your Online Privacy with ExpressVPN!

Michael Moore describes an epiphany he had after witnessing throngs of New Yorkers cheering out their quarantined windows in tribute to all of the workers and medical professionals dealing with keeping the rest of us alive during the Covid-19 pandemic. Amidst the uncertainty how this will all end up, there are slivers of hope — and reasons to be optimistic about humanity and what we can accomplish after ridding ourselves of this (and, ahem, other) viruses. ********* Here is the video Michael mentioned: NYC FRONT LINES DOCTOR EXPLAINS HOW EASY IT IS TO NOT GET INFECTED AND STOP THE SPREAD OF COVID-19 https://youtu.be/WxyH1rkuLaw Music Credit: Armies of Your Heart - Elizaveta https://music.apple.com/us/album/armies-of-your-heart/1446020638?i=1446020777

The U.S. Senate is on the brink of passing a massive corporate giveaway that will be yet another transfer of wealth from the American people to the wealthy. It was described by HuffPost's Zach Carter like this: "It is not an economic rescue package, but a sentence of unprecedented economic inequality and corporate control over our politics that will resonate for a generation. It represents a transfer of wealth and power to the super rich from the rest of us, with the support of both political parties ― a damning statement about the condition of American democracy."

The coronavirus pandemic and all of the economic and social crises that it has exposed has politicians of all stripes calling for massive government intervention. And, funny enough, no pundit or politician is whining about how “WE CAN’T AFFORD THIS!” But just as in 2008, corporations and lobbyists are salivating at the opportunity to milk this crisis for as much government money as they can get their hands on. This is why we MUST use this moment to massively reshape our economic and healthcare systems and immediately get money in the hands of all Americans. Michael discusses what action must be taken with economist and professor Stephanie Kelton, former economist with the Senate Budget Committee and author of the forthcoming book, "The Deficit Myth: Modern Monetary Theory and the Birth of the People's Economy." ************* Call your U.S. Senators: 202-225-3121 Call your U.S. Rep: 202-224-3121 ************* Pre-order Stephanie's book "The Deficit Myth" from BookShop: https://bookshop.org/a/1381/9781541736184 Or, if you prefer Amazon, pre-order it here: https://amzn.to/2UUvrOH FDR's 2nd Bill of Rights scene from "Capitalism: A Love Story": https://vimeo.com/32647556 Stephanie's op-ed in NYT: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/21/opinion/-coronavirus-stimulus-trillion.html

Overnight the hospitals in New York began to drown. ICUs are filling up. There aren’t enough ventilators. Only a few masks are left. Many doctors and nurses already have the virus, and too many are being hospitalized themselves. A woman in Michael’s apartment building tested positive and died. The day we have dreaded is here. If we scramble - if we scream bloody murder - if we act smart, today, might there be a way out? Trump has shut all the doors. Forget for now about beating him in November. A number of us won’t live 'til November. We need to beat him now, beat down those doors he’s blocking, so that a million voters don’t die. ************** Music Credit: Escape from New York (Original Film Soundtrack) - Main Title - John Carpenter https://music.apple.com/us/album/main-title/100959866?i=100959665

Michael Moore sounds the alarm like never before. We don’t have days — we have HOURS left to act. Trump’s weeks of inaction and leading the public to believe this virus is “a hoax” will now cost millions of people their lives. Perhaps we can save some of them — but only if everyone who hears this podcast takes action today. Michael exposes the facts that have been kept from the public. He reveals what he’s been told by several public health experts, doctors, government officials and one source who is in frequent and direct contact with President Trump. None of it is pretty. There will be no more school this year — and maybe little or none next year as well. Our hospitals are about to get slammed and overwhelmed on a massive scale. The Army Corps of Engineers must be called up to build dozens of field hospitals. We will not have enough nurses and doctors. The government must nationalize industries to build the ventilators and other equipment we need. This must happen this week. Mike issues a call to action to save lives and for all of us to make serious sacrifices like we never have before. ********** Call your U.S. Senators: 202-225-3121 Call your U.S. Rep: 202-224-3121 WATCH: Mechanical Ventilation Explained Clearly - Ventilator Settings & Modes https://youtu.be/gk_Qf-JAL84 The Sewell Avery photo: http://bit.ly/3d8hvsN

In a modern, functioning, democratic society, how should a public health crisis be handled? And what would America's response to the coronavirus pandemic look like if we had a universal healthcare system such as Medicare For All? Michael discusses this with Dr. Abdul El-Sayed, a physician and epidemiologist and the former Health Commissioner in the City of Detroit.

Michael Moore reveals conversations he's had with public health and security experts, foreign journalists and government officials (plus one source directly in contact with President Trump) to share the awful truth: we may lose multiple times more Americans to coronavirus than the total number of American troops killed in World War II; this is the most serious pandemic since the 1918 flu;  President Trump is actively and purposefully holding up the federal government response and putting millions of lives at risk. ********** READ:  Coronavirus: Why You Must Act Now https://medium.com/@tomaspueyo/coronavirus-act-today-or-people-will-die-f4d3d9cd99ca WATCH: Rep.

The Democratic nominating contest is down to Vice President Joe Biden and Senator Bernie Sanders. The Biden campaign’s plan appears to be to hide Biden from the voters as much as possible and allow nostalgia for the Obama years and positive media coverage carry him to victory. Author and Hill TV host Krystal Ball joins Michael to discuss the primary contest and the dangers of nominating Biden. ********** Buy Krystal's new book, "The Populist's Guide to 2020" from BookShop here: https://bookshop.org/a/1381/9781947492455 Buy Krystal's new book, "The Populist's Guide to 2020" from Amazon here: https://amzn.to/2yjYT98 Watch Hill TV on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPWXiRWZ29zrxPFIQT7eHSA

What if the sun rose on the West? What if, on Tuesday night at 8pm ET, the first Super Tuesday results had been announced from the largest and most diverse state in the country, California? ”Huge win for Bernie Sanders! A huge delegate lead!" An hour later, in conservative, Mormon, Utah, “the winner is....Bernie Sanders!” Then Colorado comes next…”another victory for Bernie Sanders! And in a key swing state!” How we were presented the results on Tuesday night, which has turned this into a two-person race between Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders with only a handful of delegates separating them, has greatly affected the public perception of the race. While Bernie Sanders is now the underdog, it is a close race, and the American people must hear vigorous debates between Biden and Sanders about who they are, what they believe, what their plans are for the country and how they will defeat Trump.

The corporatist, centrist wing of the Democratic Party has gotten in formation. Joe Biden is their man. The mainstream media is endlessly promoting him and not hiding their bias. Sadly, many of them would rather have Donald Trump in the White House than Bernie Sanders. Michael Moore gives an impassioned plea to everyone who wants to defeat Trump and to defeat the system which gave us Trump to not give in to the failed establishment that handed us Trump in the first place. The future of the county and of humanity depends on it.

In Part 3 or the RUMBLE Super Tuesday preview series, Michael wonders about the timing of Pete Buttigieg dropping out of the race and what role the coronavirus may play during campaign season.

The Democratic political, corporate and media establishment were giddy on Saturday night as the South Carolina election returns showed a big victory for Joe Biden. They appear to have found their candidate to take on Bernie Sanders. With Super Tuesday looming, Michael looks ahead to what might become a Biden vs. Bernie contest for the future of the Democratic Party and America.

Four days until Super Tuesday, Michael lays out the stakes of how important Tuesday's elections are what role coronavirus will play in shaping our views of this election.  We are only as safe as the human being who has no health insurance or access to medical care. A nation that has millions of people who are not insured or are under-insured means that millions of American's are encouraged to NOT seek tests or treatment - which makes the coronavirus that much more dangerous. *********** Watch "SiCKO" here: https://youtu.be/YbEQ7acb0IE

Senator Bernie Sanders issued a forceful statement on Friday against Russian attempts to meddle in the 2020 election, as he has done in the past. This came in response to a Washington Post story that Sanders was recently briefed by U.S. intelligence officials that Russia was meddling in the election and attempting to "help" his campaign in an unspecified way. This comes on the heels of the Sanders' opponents and the media dredging up the "Bernie Bro" canard from 2016 and attempting to portray online Sanders supporters as uniquely vile. In this EMERGENCY PODCAST SYSTEM edition of RUMBLE, Michael Moore makes the connection between these two stories and explains the urgency of setting this story straight. Sanders opponents who falsely accused Sanders supporters of "death threats" and ugly online behavior appear to have been duped by a Russian disinformation campaign. ********************** Washington Post story on the briefing Senator Sanders received: https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/bernie-sanders-briefed-by-us-officials-that-russia-is-trying-to-help-his-presidential-campaign/2020/02/21/5ad396a6-54bd-11ea-929a-64efa7482a77_story.html

Michael Bloomberg’s commandeering of the 2020 Democratic party nomination campaign is a dangerous moment for the party and the country. If Democrats give in, it will have horrific consequences.

Why do so many Democrats keep making the mistake of running to the so-called "middle" or apologizing for being Democrats every election cycle? And why do Republicans -  an unpopular political party that enacts awful and discredited policies, continue to win and hold onto power? Michael is joined by a political scientist who has studied the fallacy of focusing on "swing voters" and how, instead, the number one goal of Democrats should be turning out non-voters, occasional voters and their base. Rachel Bitecofer is a political scientist and professor at Christopher Newport University in Newport News, Virginia and a Senior Fellow at the Niskanen Center. Her election model accurately predicted the outcome of the Democratic blue wave in the 2018 House elections and she shares her thoughts on 2020, what the Democrats keep getting wrong, and how accidentally getting hit in the head by a pack of Ramen Noodles by Michael Moore in 2004 turned her life around. *********************** Follow Rachel on Twitter here: https://twitter.com/RachelBitecofer Rachel's 2020 election model: http://cnu.edu/wasoncenter/2019/07/01-2020-election-forecast/ New Politico profile of Rachel Bitecofer: https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2020/02/06/rachel-bitecofer-profile-election-forecasting-new-theory-108944 To watch the film on the "Slacker Uprising" tour that Rachel & Michael discussed, go here: https://youtu.be/Axk_8DV2GXM

In our final episode in advance of the Iowa Caucuses, Michael turned the microphone over to the people he ran into at the Smokey Row Coffee Shop in Des Moines.

On the eve of the Iowa Caucuses, Michael Moore sits down with Dr. Jane Sanders, an educator, activist, and the wife of Bernie Sanders. They discuss how fragile democracy is, Trump's fake populism versus Bernie's real populism and whether, unlike the New York Times, she gets a card from Bernie on her birthday.

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.

America's most beloved ice cream makers, Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield met up with Michael on the campaign trail in Fairfield, Iowa. They discussed how the Vermont duo built their business while maintaining their values, dead peasant insurance, where their ice cream flavor ideas came from and their support for fellow Vermonter Bernie Sanders. ***************** Watch the Dead Peasant Insurance scene from "Capitalism: A Love Story": https://youtu.be/frs25RsstoA ***************** 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: Twitter: https://twitter.com/MMFlint Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/mmflint/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/michaelfmoore/ ********************

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.

Michael Moore asks the Ayatollah and the leaders of Iran to not respond to Trump's crime with more violence. Instead, he appeals to the Iranian government to let him and millions of Americans fix the problem with Trump either by trial in the Senate or the ballot box in November. ******************** Subscribe to the podcast 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/ ********************

We are pre-empting today’s scheduled podcast due to Donald Trump ordering the assassination of the #2 leader of Iran last night. Michael lays out the truth behind this and why Trump did it. And what we need to about it. Recorded in the middle of the night, we decided the urgency of us needing to deal with Trump’s actions was important enough that we post this emergency podcast. There must be no delay before we act. Senate switchboard: 202-224-3121

Michael Moore and Ralph Nader have a complicated relationship. So during his trip to D.C. to witness the impeachment of Donald Trump, Michael was surprised when he bumped into Ralph while visiting the office of Flint's representative in Congress. They ended up having their first real conversation in nearly 20 years. Ralph agreed to let Michael record it for this podcast.
