Ep. 134: How To Legally Double Or Triple Your Vote

October 29, 2020 05:48 - 41 minutes - 38.4 MB

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.

Trump bragged to Bob Woodward “I saved his ass!” — referring to how he, Trump, protected the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia after the Prince had a columnist for the Washington Post murdered.  Hearing this on the anniversary of 15 Saudi hijackers who murdered 2,977 people in NYC, DC and PA is chilling.

September 05, 2020 04:43 - 1 hour - 63.5 MB

Michigan's former Republican Governor Rick Snyder is the man most responsible for poisoning Flint's residents and then covering up and allowing the poisoning to persist.

He should be in prison. Instead, he just endorsed Joe Biden's campaign, and the campaign touted Snyder's endorsement in a press release....

August 25, 2020 04:28 - 1 hour - 62.4 MB

On June 18th, 2019, at a high-end campaign fundraiser on Manhattan's Upper East Side, Joe Biden tried to win over wealthy donors and top bankers by assuring them that "nothing would fundamentally change" under a Biden presidency. He was reinforcing the idea that he's the moderate, status quo candidate that would not rock the boat or challenge the power of the 1% while in the White House. Nothing would fundamentally change???

They also discuss why "vote blue no matter who" might actually hurt the par...

Ep. 109: The Radical Left-Wing Anarchist Mob for Biden-Harris

August 12, 2020 13:45 - 38 minutes - 36.4 MB

One of Donald Trump's attacks on Joe Biden is that he is not actually running the Democratic party or even his own Presidential campaign. Instead, Trump claims, Biden is being controlled by "the left-wing mob," by "socialists" or "antifa" or "anarchists" or "the squad." So Trump has a higher opinion of the power of the left than we have of ourselves! Michael Moore shares his thoughts on what Joe Biden's selection of Kamala Harris for Vice President means for our struggle for justice, peace a...
