Ep. 277: "Blue Dots in a Red Sea" Part 9: Red States Need a Blue Sister City or Two

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 that every Republican president since Ike has had treason in their heart?

The last thing you expect to hear on a quiet Sunday afternoon in your Northern Michigan apartment two blocks off Lake Michigan, in the middle of winter, is the sonic BOOM of a fighter jet breaking the sound barrier. But that's exactly what Michael Moore’s neighborhood heard yesterday afternoon, February 12, 2023. Why? Because the U.S. Air Force was on its way to shooting down the 3rd UFO of THIS WEEKEND — this time over Lake Huron. All this and after that Chinese spy balloon last weekend. WTF is going on? It's time to ask some uncomfortable questions...
