A day after the New Hampshire Democratic debate and two days before the primary, and in a week in which the U.S. Senate crowned a Mad King with powers heretofore denied a Roman Emperor, Michael Moore shares his thoughts on where things stand from outside his motel room off of Highway 3 in Concord, New Hampshire. ******** NEW HAMPSHIRE! The first ever RUMBLE with Michael Moore podcast taping is on...

"So here’s what’s going to happen. Trump is a recidivist (a serial con man, serial rapist, serial liar). He will take the Senate’s vote today as permission to keep breaking the law — but in ways that will shock even you & me — and frighten the entire country to act."

With the Iowa debacle still unresolved, this is no time to sink into despair or succumb to cynicism. 

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.

Michael is joined by actor, writer, director, playwright and Academy Award-winner Tim Robbins. They discuss how a theater teacher saved Tim's life, the time Michael got mugged in New York City, Clint Eastwood, the unique power of live theater, Bob Roberts and Tim's new play, "The New Colossus." ********************** Tim's play "The New Colossus" is touring the U.S.: https://theactorsgang.com/2017...

Michael is joined by comedian and writer Katie Halper. They discuss the Senate impeachment trial, Fiddler on the Roof, the weaponization of identity politics, colonoscopies and the dangers of anti-Semitism.  ******************  IOWA - COME SEE MICHAEL MOORE!

The Senate is set to begin the impeachment trial of Donald J. Trump and the Republicans have devised a plan to prevent any witnesses from appearing.

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...

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 Credib...

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 sti...

Almost 10 years after Obamacare was passed, medical bills are still the leading cause of bankruptcy in the U.S., 30 million Americans are uninsured, and those who have insurance are dealing with the most expensive health care costs in the world.

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/5KubucWBfy...

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 de...

Michael Moore reflects on the past year and the past decade and asks YOU to make DECLARATIONS for the year 2020. A declaration is something like “I declare that in  2020 I’m going to help get the minimum wage raised to $20 an hour!”  or “I declare that I’m going to buy less crap in 2020 because our overconsumption is killing the planet!” or “I declare that in 2020 I’m only goin...

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. Rumble Reads: Ralph Nader...

While the majority of Americans live paycheck-to-paycheck and one emergency away from financial peril, a new study shows that the 500 richest people in the world gained a combined $1.2 trillion in wealth in 2019. In the U.S., the richest 0.1% now control a bigger share of the pie than at any time since the beginning of the Great Depression. But what happens when the very people hoarding this wealt...
