Ep. 300: Happy Labor Day to All Who Labor (and a free screening of my first film on Turner Classic Movies on Labor Day night)
3 September 2023 - 25 minsIn 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’s Oscar-winning “Harlan County, USA”, and at 10pm ET, his very first film from 1989, “Roger & Me”.
We hope you get to watch both of these and let your friends and family know about them. Both documentaries have been selected by the Library of Congress’ National Film Preservation Board as groundbr...
Ep. 330: I Mean, How Bad Can It Really Be? Oh. That Bad.
Surely it’s nothing that a show-tune or two can’t fix! A message from Michael Moore: Silence. Thinking. Then acting. In that order. The internet. The television. The noise is not helping. The answers are already inside us. Enjoy the music. You did the right thing. More to come… — Mike ******************** For more of Michael’s work, subscribe to his Substack at https://www.michaelmoore.com/ Write to Mike: mike@michaelmoore.com ******************** Music featured in today’s episode: “Cheek to Cheek” — Fred Astaire, from Top Hat “Put On a Happy Face” — Dick Van Dyke & Janet Leigh, from Bye Bye Birdie “Some Enchanted Evening” — Giorgio Tozzi, from South Pacific “Climb Ev’ry Mountain” — Peggy Wood, from The Sound of Music “Singin’ in the Rain” — Gene Kelly, from Singin’ in the Rain “Oh, What a Beautiful Mornin’” — Gordon MacRae, from Oklahoma! “Follow the Yellow Brick Road” — Cast of The Wizard of Oz (1939) “Everything’s Alright” — Yvonne Elliman & Ted Neeley, from Jesus Christ Superstar

Ep. 329: The Tables Are Turning and It's About Time
It’s the eve of the 2024 election, with just about 36 hours to go until the polls close, and Michael Moore is feeling… honestly… pretty damn good. And who knows — if we keep our foot on the gas and Get Out the Vote until the polls close tomorrow (Tuesday) night, he believes we just may wake up Wednesday morning feeling… well… pretty f**king great.

Ep. 328: “I’M NOT JOE BIDEN” Prove it. Please.
With just two weeks left until the election, Vice President Harris still won’t clearly say what she’ll do differently from Biden to end the U.S. taxpayer-funded slaughter of Gaza’s civilian population. Every poll shows the American people want a ceasefire now. If that’s what the people want, and you want to be their president, why won’t you support what the people want? They don’t want us to be Netanyahu’s bank and arms dealer. Why is that so hard to understand? Why are we risking losing Michigan and the election? Kamala. Please. ******************** For more of Michael's work, subscribe to his Substack at MichaelMoore.com Write to Mike: mike@michaelmoore.com ******************** Episode Underwriters: 1) Babbel.

Ep. 327: Trump Is the American Bibi. The World Does Not Need a Double Bibi.
Even One Bibi, Who After the Slaughter of October 7th Then Created the Slaughter of October 8, 2023-October 7, 2024, Is Too Much. The Current Slaughter Is the One You and I Fund and Arm. Who Will Forgive Us? Vice President Harris, Please, Tell Us You'll Fix This. One year ago today, Michael Moore (and the rest of us) awoke to the devastating news that over 1200 civilians — mostly Jews — had been slaughtered in Israel, and lay dead in the streets. On today's episode, Michael not only reflects back on that fateful day, but he also uncovers the uncomfortable truths that surfaced in the days, weeks and months that followed, that led us to where we are today: Our tax dollars funding & arming an off-the-rails Netanyahu and his mass slaughter of innocent Palestinians — and now us Americans on the brink of being dragged by Netanyahu into a war with Iran. Also, only 4 weeks away from November 5th, Michael covers the latest lies and vitriol coming from the American Bibi, Donald J. Trump. Michael reveals the negative effect of our unwavering support of Netanyahu on Michigan voters, and pleads with Vice President Harris to do whatever she can, right now, to end the madness in the Middle East. Or, at the very least, tell the American people, the majority of whom support an immediate ceasefire, that she is going to do right by us and fix this as soon as she holds power. Finally, today is the LAST DAY TO REGISTER TO VOTE in the following states: Arizona Georgia Florida Ohio Texas (no online registration) Arkansas Indiana Kentucky Mississippi (no online registration) Tennessee If you live in any one of the states above — or in Missouri, Oklahoma, Delaware, South Carolina, Oregon or West Virginia whose voter registration deadlines are later this week — check your voter registration online TODAY and make sure you are registered to vote!
