The Michael Moore Podcast

You’re scared. You’re anxious. You’re coming unglued. We understand. The telly keeps shouting at you: “Biden’s approval rating has now dropped to 39%!” “Trump is ahead of Biden 47-46%!” “67% of Democrats believe Biden shouldn’t run because he is too old!” “52% of Americans believe Trump accomplished more than Biden has!!” This is way too much to handle! Everyone needs to breathe deep and participa...

In a brief Labor Day message, longtime union member Michael Moore (currently on strike with his fellow writers and actors) salutes the work that you all do, offers his support for the autoworkers who may go on strike in September, and thanks Turner Classic Movies, a channel on everyone’s basic cable, for having a special prime time Labor Day double feature on Monday night: At 8pm ET Barbara Kopple...

It’s a grab bag of insanity on Michael Moore’s podcast this week as he declares the Republican Party DOA (although he detects it’s still barely breathing and there’s no death certificate yet). Sooo…  Also, a big thank you to Fani Willis, the District Attorney in Atlanta for filing the indictment of indictments, a masterpiece of Justice. Her father was a criminal defense lawyer and a member of the...

Just moments ago, as the clock was ready to strike midnight, Fani Willis, the District Attorney of Fulton, Co., Georgia, announced that a citizens Grand Jury has voted to indict former president Donald J. Trump and his 18 Co-Conspirators (including Rudy Giuliani, Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, lawyer John Eastman and others) on 41 counts of racketeering and other criminal acts for conspiring to form...

Whether it’s the Planet in collapse or a Party out of control, this is a summer of death and hope. Michael Moore breaks down the failure to protect the people of Maui but also the will of the voters in Ohio to stand up for women’s rights. The official cover-up has already begun in Hawaii as those in charge are unable to explain why over a hundred people (or more) had to die. The overwhelming vote...

On this episode of Michael Moore’s podcast, he’s trying to enjoy the bliss of summer — but solar storms, boiling oceans and RFK, Jr.’s conspiracy theories keep getting in the way. Pour yourself a nice tall lemonade and enjoy! ******************** Episode Music: 1) “ Havana” (Remix) — Camila Cabello (with Daddy Yankee) 2) " Blackbird " — performed by Emma Stevens ******************** Epis...

Michael Moore celebrates our country’s birthday week by going after the Supreme Court and suggesting ways to remove the Justices who have perjured themselves, been caught talking huge sums of money from billionaires and how all six right wing Justices have committed various ethical and financial infractions — but have not been sanctioned or removed. Oh, they’ve also taken wholesale rights away fro...

Michael Moore is on strike. As a member of the Writers Guild of America, he and his 12,000 union sisters and brothers, most of whom write most of our movies and TV series, have been on strike since May 1. So what has Mike been doing while on strike? He’s been catching up on some of the best movies and TV series of the past few months and years. And he’s found some great picks. He also has turned i...

Mike’s friend and hero, Daniel Ellsberg, passed away on Friday at the age of 92. He saved our country twice. He helped end America’s mass slaughter in Vietnam, and he helped bring down Nixon. He also inspired Mike — and millions — for decades. This episode is Michael Moore’s tribute to the great Daniel Ellsberg, and includes Daniel's appearance on Rumble as Michael's first podcast guest in...

What is this — high school? These approval ratings are in a time where most of the country doesn't approve of virtually anything. This concept is so antiquated, the pollsters might as well ask the public, in the presidential race, to vote for "Best Dressed", "Most Likely To Succeed", "Cutest Couple", "Class Clown", "MVP", "Best Smile"...

At the time of this recording, the U.S. has had 199 mass shootings in the first 128 days of 2023. Number 200 will have happened by the time you finish this episode.

When you’re young, you can only take so much b.s.  And when you watch a bunch of older white racist Southern men — i.e., the Republican supermajority of the Tennessee House of Representatives — attack two young black elected House members for “improper decorum” when they spoke out against gun violence just two days after the mass school shooting last week in Nashville, well racist acts are nothing...

You know the feeling when you casually come across a news article that unexpectedly, yet utterly, blows your mind? When you find yourself looking around with your jaw agape, but nobody else seems to be paying attention? That happened to Michael last week — not once but twice.  On this week’s episode of Rumble, Michael Moore shares the articles that left him riled and pondering — is it possible tha...

In last month's news cycle, dominated by yet another school massacre, a toxic train derailment, and the military's obliteration of threatening balloons — you may have missed some good news! The anti-MAGA Democrats continued their winning streak in February in one special election victory after another, and on this episode of Rumble, Michael spreads the good word.  For more of Michael's work,...

Random Thoughts about a winter without snow, Texas trying to ban the abortion pill for all 50 states, and what to binge on while Marjorie Taylor Greene tries to put the US through a red-blue divorce.  For more of Michael's work, subscribe to his Substack at MichaelMoore.com. ******************** Episode underwriters: 1) Anchor.fm can help you start your own podcast.

Over 2 weeks ago, on Christmas Day, Michael launched his special Rumble mini-podcast series “Blue Dots in a Red Sea: How to Win When You’re Blue in a Red State” with ideas and strategies of how we can build on our Blue Wall momentum from the 2022 midterm elections, and turn even more red states, red counties, and red towns blue in time for the 2024 election. On this final episode, he reflects on t...

We are often told that we are led by a “government of the people, by the people, for the people.” But being a liberal/left/progressive/Democrat in a red state, run by a red legislature intent on banning books, suppressing the vote of its Black and Brown citizens, and stripping women of their right to bodily autonomy, it can feel more like you’re living in a 16th century Christian state or last wee...

Perhaps the most important job your new Blue Man and Woman Group needs to do is to find candidates to run as Democrats and win! In a red county! The last three national elections in 2018, 2020 and 2022 saw many liberal/left/progressive Democrats defeat Republicans in red states and counties across America. Every district, every county in the red states has thousands of people who are pro-choice, p...

So you already live in a Blue city. What can you do to help those who don’t? Become sister cities! Reach out to each other. Share ideas on how to win. How to run the right candidates. Raise money for them in Idaho or West Virginia. Hold potlucks over Zoom. Get in the car and go visit them. At election time make calls and send postcards for their candidates. You can help turn a red area blue! This...

One by one, the wheels come off the clown car in the Best Comedy of the decade. On the first day of the 118th Congress, in a performance not witnessed by this nation in nearly 170 years, the House Republicans chose to commit a mass murder-suicide of their last vestige of electoral political power, putting on a humiliating show to the world, and offering massive relief to all who worried about the...

In this Rumble episode #7 of “Blue Dots in a Red Sea,” Michael Moore invites you to join him in his list of New Year’s resolutions intended to increase the level Democracy in the United States.  Gerrymandering, the Electoral College, and the Filibuster have no place in a democracy and must be eliminated. Red states will remain red as long as the right wing draws the maps and “elects” candidat...

On this Rumble episode of Michael Moore's special podcast series, “Blue Dots in a Red Sea,” Mike asks for all of us to attend one or two school board, town council or County Commission meetings this coming year — to be there as a Democratic/Progressive/Left witness to what the elected officials are up to. In a red, Republican area, they are very used to no one showing up, especially not any libera...

On this episode of Mike’s mission to turn Red into Blue, he offers a number of specific ideas for progressives and liberals (who are stuck in deep red parts of the country) to establish liberal Democratic outposts that provide real, everyday help to anyone in need, regardless of their political affiliation.  Mike believes that once a few people see how it’s the libs and the Dems who are truly...

Now that you know there are THOUSANDS of like-minded progressives, liberals, Democrats, independents and nonvoters in your red county and state, it’s time to get to work and have a gathering of this new Blue Tsunami movement. It’s time to either jump in and grow the existing local Democratic Party or, better yet, start your own Dem org if a seriously active and successful one doesn’t currently exi...

SPOILER ALERT! Your neighbors and coworkers are a lot more progressive than you think. They already agree with you on so many things. If you talk to them, not about Democrats vs. Republicans but rather about clean air vs. polluted air, or the Golden Rule vs. the Rule of the Bullies, or women being paid the same as men vs. not, you’ll find more agreement with each other than not. So your Blue army...
