Imagine, if you will, for just one moment, a United States Congress ? the House and the Senate ? without a single Republican holding office.  A party of traitors that the American people simply vote entirely out of office. Poof. Gone. History.

We?ve done it before, voting out and ending entire political parties. Other democracies have voted every right-winger out of office. Sometimes, the only way to save yourselves is to crush the enemy who is hell-bent on crushing you.

Thanks to a Supreme Court that Trump packed with religious zealots, they issued an edict on June 24th that sealed their doom and the end of the Republican Party as we know it.

Here?s how to make sure they reap what they have sown ? less than 10 weeks from today? Listen & share...

THIS JUST IN: The citizens of the State of Kansas ? which is one of our reddest and most Republican states ? has just voted in an overwhelming landslide tonight to keep abortion legal and available to all women!

Here Michael Moore sends the word out to all that those who seek to take rights away from women shall not succeed and will be defeated in this fall?s election.

Voters in Kansas came out in droves on Tuesday to tell the Supreme Court where they could go. Their message to the rest of us is clear: We have 3 months to work as hard as we can to save our Democracy. All Democrats must sign a pledge to make Roe v Wade the law of the land ? and to eliminate the filibuster. All Republicans who voted against certifying the legal results of the 2020 election must go to wherever traitors go.

Give this emergency podcast a quick listen right now ? and please share with others!

Last week Pope Francis visited Canada to apologize and seek forgiveness for the crimes committed by the Catholic Church against the indigenous peoples of Canada. He called that practice of Christianity ?evil.?

On the first day of his visit Mike received an email from one of Canada?s most well known and beloved Native Canadians, the folksinger Buffy Sainte Marie. In it she explains why an apology isn?t enough.

Mike then asks the Pope (whom he?s met) to grant indigenous people everywhere a Papal Decree that?s long overdue.

When the news of the week?s events becomes so deafening, so monstrous, that it overwhelms us ? we miss critical other events that will affect us greatly.

This week, filled with the Supreme Court declaring women second-class citizens, the January 6th Hearing confirming Trump sought to stage a coup, and mass shootings continuing nationwide, there were vital stories that went uncovered and ignored.

On today?s podcast Mike shares with his audience three big stories that were overlooked by the majority of the American public: the successful unionizing of the first Apple Store; the Israeli Defense Force shooting and killing an American journalist; and the Michigan Supreme Court on Tuesday unanimously blocking the prosecution of the Republican ex-governor for poisoning the water of Flint, Michigan.

Stories like these shouldn?t be buried.

Turning my podcast today over to the women in the Michigan town where I live.

In this emergency podcast released just minutes after the Supreme Court ruled that women will be forced to give birth should they become pregnant, Michael Moore joins women?s groups in calling for nationwide protests in cities across the country ? today, tonight and every day until full rights are restored to women.

On this day of infamy, Mike asks friend and podcaster Francesca Fiorentini to read the first feminist proclamation from 1791 ? ?Declaration of the Rights of Women? by Olympe de Gouges. It?s sickening how little has changed. For her treason against the patriarchy, de Gouges was beheaded. A thought that must make this Court smile.

Click here or here to find out where tonight?s protests are in your area.

Remove all Republicans in November.

The night of the Uvalde massacre, Michael gave his first televised response to a mass shooting in over a decade. And what he said was so powerful, and so truthful, it frightened Democrats who are afraid to go all the way to stop this madness. It frightened Republicans so much, one their craziest, Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), took to the House floor this week to denounce Michael by name during the debate on possible new gun laws. What did he say? Just the same thing over a hundred million Americans were already thinking but nobody on TV was saying. So, he decided somebody had to speak the unspeakable, that which no red-blooded American is supposed to say.

On this episode of RUMBLE, he goes ahead and says it again. And then he begs you to say it, too.

This week was another sick celebration of the American way. And all week Michael has been haunted by this unanswered question ? What is the number?

Columbine wasn?t enough? Sandy Hook wasn?t enough? Parkland wasn?t enough? Will Robb Elementary be enough? How many dead children before America will rise up and scream ?THAT?S IT! THAT IS ENOUGH??

On this episode of Rumble, Michael shares the brutal, honest truth ? we are a violent, armed country, founded in genocide and built on the backs of slaves. But as history shows us, if we can face who we are, we can become the country, and the people, we want to be.

Riding through the tidal waves of emboldened Archbishops who are weaponizing & politicizing communion, a new viral outbreak (monkeypox WTF?!) threatening public health, and the corporate greed behind the real story of why there?s no formula milk that is causing American babies to go hungry, plus Biden saying he?d send troops to Taiwan if China invaded when he knows no American parent will offer up their son or daughter to go and die for such a crazy idea, Michael has had it. But any day now, the Supreme Court is about to set off their time bomb against an entire gender. Tick? Tick? Tick? the sound grows deafening? are we ready to stand for our Democracy?

Last week we blinked and opened our eyes to a vision of a different world. A nightmare foretold is to become our future ? a U.S. citizen who becomes pregnant can be stripped of their bodily autonomy and forced, by the U.S. government, to give birth. Attempt to abort the fetus, and you can be charged with murder. The idea of that reality is draconian and horrific.

But what most people don?t know is that we are already living in a reality that is much more sinister. Confide in a desperate text to your friend your fears of being pregnant, or simply Google the word ?abortion? before having a miscarriage? and you can be charged with murder.

On this episode of Rumble, Michael is joined by Cynthia Conti-Cook, award-winning civil rights attorney and current Technology Fellow on the Ford Foundation?s Gender, Racial, and Ethnic Justice team. She is an expert on the expanding use of surveillance technologies and talks with Michael on the current and potential use of technology to criminalize people who seek or aid abortions.

Long before he first hosted ?Late Night with David Letterman,? Michael was a fan of David Letterman's wicked humor that was often based on his total lack of respect for authority, pomposity, and those who make life miserable for the little guy. When it was announced Letterman would have a nightly show on NBC beginning on February 1, 1982, Michael made his way from Flint to New York to see if he could get a stand-by ticket to sit in the audience during Letterman's first week on the air. He succeeded. Letterman's guest that night? Filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola. Michael couldn?t believe his luck. At that time it would be another seven years before his first film, Roger & Me, would be released. 

In this episode Michael talks about what he learned about satire from David Letterman while sitting and watching him from Flint. And how Letterman impacted Michael (without knowing it) and the film and TV work he would eventually do. This episode of Rumble is a personal peek behind how Michael grew to reach his own audience thanks in part to the inspiration Dave offered him.

On this provocative episode of Rumble with Michael Moore, Mike speaks the awful truth about how our environmental movement has failed us and why we must change course ? and leadership ? immediately. Planet Earth is fed up with us, and from climate to coronavirus, it sees no choice but to throw an extinction event. As a follow-up to Mike?s Substack letter last week ? ?At Earth Day?s End? ? he raises the stakes again after sitting through one more Earth Day that offered no hope that we are going to get this right. So a new kind of battle must now be fought.

It's another week of mind-dumbing drivel and tragedy, beginning with the Senate Republicans' racist mansplainin' and prop-making of the brilliant new nominee to the U.S. Supreme Court ? where, in the near future, this white privileged performance art will not exist any longer. Make no mistake ? that hearing wasn't a hearing. It was a dry run for the Republicans' staging of this November's midterms ? running their candidates on the Q-anon agenda and honing their election-stealing plans to perfection.

Mike also shares his latest thoughts on how the war in Ukraine is "progressing" ? and suggests Zelensky should switch the narrative regarding the hapless Russian army and surprise Putin by now conducting a Ukrainian invasion of Russia. It's what a true satirist president would do. And it would make Putin's head spin out of control just long enough for the generals and the oligarchs to stage their coup and end this madness.

It's been three weeks since Putin invaded Ukraine. Three... long... weeks. Three weeks of an endless, looping news cycle. Change the channel ? same story, different pundits. But behind the horrific videos of tanks blowing up cars and dead bodies in the streets, behind the escalating, heartbreaking stories of refugees fleeing in terror and American journalists being killed, Michael senses something more sinister is at play.

We, the American public, who never met a war we didn?t like, are being manipulated by other Americans who are trying to take us to war. Politicians, pundits, ex-Generals and corporate masters looking for greater profits. And no heartstring will be left unplayed until they have our ear and we the people are demanding blood.

The only thing for us to do is to fight back and make it clear ? No Americans in Ukraine, no air war with Russia, no World War III.

Late Wednesday night ?at least, late at night here in the states ? Russia launched a full-fledged assault on Ukraine. Refugees have fled the country in droves, and Putin?s army has moved in on or around nearly every major city in a matter of 36 hours. It?s a nightmare scenario.

But there are those already beating the drum for the United States to ?do more.? More? More of what? No, you don?t want us anywhere near this. The United States, which for the past half-century, has only made things worse every single place we have sent in the bomber jets or the troops who are about to die for all the wrong reasons. We can no longer claim the moral high ground (if we ever could), and after Iraq we?ve been sent to the time-out room to think about the misery we?ve caused this world.

So today on Rumble, Michael sifts through his thoughts on this crisis, and talk about why, above all else, and no matter what ? the United States cannot involve itself in this war. Let the smart people find every way possible to crush Putin without firing a shot.

There's a new hit item on the menu at Starbucks stores across the country: a signed union card. The workers at multiple Buffalo, NY-area Starbucks stores formed Starbucks Workers United this August, in response to dangerous COVID working conditions, unequal pay, and inadequate benefits. In less than half a year, they've managed to already unionize two Buffalo-area stores, in Elmwood and in Genesee, at a company notoriously aggressive in their anti-union tactics.

This is huge, a game-changing pair of victories ? even in a year full of strikes and COVID walkouts. To hear the story of how these incredible Starbucks Workers United organized this victory, and how you can organize your workplace, Michael talked with the Starbucks workers Jaz Brisack & Casey Moore ? or, as the Orwellian Starbucks PR calls them, ?partners? ? two young women who helped lead the organizing effort and succeeded in slaying the giant.

During the interview, Casey and Jaz encouraged Michael to cold-call the CEO of Starbucks. And when he does, someone in Nicaragua picks up the phone. A true Rumble moment.

Help the workers of Starbucks get the fair pay, benefits, and protections they deserve: Contact Starbucks' Customer Support line and let them know that, as a customer, you demand that Starbucks stop trying to interfere in the Union organizing efforts.

It?s another one of those weeks: 5G gives you better reception but possible plane crashes, Biden trusts Trump?s Postmaster General to get us our COVID tests, and the Supreme Court blocks a federal mandate to get everyone vaccinated. Plus, the voting rights bill is on its death march.

We?re at the first anniversary of Biden?s presidency. Republicans are licking their chops. Cable news has written Biden?s obituary. They?re missing one thing - the majority of Americans don?t want a Republican anywhere near the White House. The majority want paid family leave, a living wage, free pre-K, free community college, police reform, and a serious fight to save planet Earth. And the majority wants Biden and the Dems to quit dinkin? around and crush the party of the coup.

A year ago tomorrow, outgoing President Donald Trump gave an hour-long speech to a large crowd of his most ardent and agitated supporters, encouraging them to march down Pennsylvania Ave. to the Capitol and demand Congress "Stop the Steal" -- the "steal" in this case being the Congressional ratification of an election he lost fair and square, and an integral part of the peaceful transition of power. What followed was a violent attempted coup of the United States, one in which an essentially all-white mob stormed the Capitol building, threatening the lives of countless workers and staffers in the building, elected representatives from every state in the union, and even the Vice President who ran alongside Trump on his losing ticket.

This grim day of white terror was brought about by months of President Trump egging his supporters on with baseless claims of a fraudulent election, all while his own party worked tirelessly to continue to erode voting rights across the country.  But unfortunately, this trend of white right-wing violence in America far predates Trump.

To try and make sense of all this a year later, Michael spoke with Rep. Dan Kildee of Michigan -- the US Congressional representative for Flint, and Michael's longtime close friend. A year ago, Rep. Kildee talked to Michael on Rumble in the immediate aftermath of the riots, after calling Michael from the Congressional floor during the insurrection -- with gunshots and rioting in the background.

Today, Michael & Rep. Kildee talk about what has changed in the past year, what hasn't, and what we can do to stop this from happening again. They also talk about how this experience has impacted both of them very personally, and unpack how right wing violence and voting rights are inseparable issues.

Michael & Dr. Hotez talk about why we might be assuming a bit too much about Omicron being more "mild", whether healthcare workers and the vulnerable might need another booster, vaccine inequality across the world, and what the Biden administration  ? and you ? can do about it.

With the end of the year approaching & reports about inflation dominating the nightly news, Americans are anxious about what this means for them. Former US Secretary of Labor and progressive activist Robert Reich, however, thinks this is a major misdiagnosis: the problem isn?t inflation, but a lack of competition to stop big, monolithic corporations from jacking up prices. Robert joins Mike on the show today to talk about who is really responsible for your gas and milk prices skyrocketing, and why it?s more important than ever for the government to intervene in a moment when they?re trying to pull back. Plus, they discuss the rising labor movements in America and whether the ?labor shortage? the media & big companies keep alleging is actually a general strike of workers across the country.

On the day of the school shooting at Oxford High School last week, Senator Chris Murphy delivered a passionate speech on the Senate floor tying together the dishonest ?sanctity of life? rhetoric from conservatives and the culture of guns, violence and death that is plaguing America. Senator Murphy has been a leading voice when it comes to gun violence in America ever since the Sandy Hook massacre on December 14, 2012 in Newtown, Connecticut. He joins Mike to discuss how America?s founding violence against slaves made the disregard for human life part of our national ethos and how America?s modern day wars overseas continues to legitimize and promote violence both abroad and at home. They also discuss the possibility and the limits of gun legislation, the power of visceral, uncensored images to change history, and the potential compromise on filibuster reform.

Today was a chillingly, historically, bad day for women's rights in the United States of America. The right-wing, reactionary Supreme Court heard stunning oral arguments in the case of Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, a case intended deal a death blow to Roe v. Wade and make abortion in America essentially illegal. But in listening to the arguments and to the mind-altering questions of the six conservative justices, you can hear far more than the death knell of Roe. After 50 years of the merger between right-wing corporate interests and right-wing Evangelical Christianity within the conservative movement and the Republican party, the Supreme Court has become the ultimate and unstoppable weapon when it comes to rolling back our democratic values in America. We are in deep trouble. So in this special episode of Rumble, after an introduction from Michael, you will hear the full, unedited oral arguments in what will soon turn out to be an infamous day in U.S. history. Listen, learn, and get ready for the massive, civil, nonviolent unrest that we will soon take part in.

Mike is joined by Yale History and Law Professor Samuel Moyn to discuss his recent op-ed titled, ?If Democrats Return To Centrism, They Are Doomed To Lose Against Trump.? They discuss the Democrats passing the physical infrastructure bill, but failing to, as promised, simultaneously pass the much-needed and politically popular human infrastructure bill, plus the decision by 6 Squad members to courageously stick to their word and only vote on both bills together. They also discuss the neverending campaign from corporate Democrats and corporate media pushing the party to move to the ?center? and be more ?moderate? and water down all of their programs that the American people and the planet currently need.

After the promise of major legislation that would rival the impact of FDR?s New Deal, Joe Biden?s Build Back Better agenda has been sucked dry by corporate America and their pawns in the Senate. Instead of massive new programs to help children, parents, students, the elderly and all us by dealing with the climate crisis, Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema appear to have brought the $3.5 trillion bill down to some crumbs. And rather than having it all paid for by taxing the wealthy, they may be putting a halt to that plan, as well.

This is a monumental disaster that will not only hurt the American people, but will once again expose the Democratic party as weak, feckless, and still in the grasp of Wall Street, the pharmaceutical industry and the usual special interests. Turnout for the 2022 midterm elections will be suffocated and the Republican party will feast on the Democrats? stupidity and ride back into power on it (with Trump waiting in the wings in 2024).

Mike?s joined by a great journalist and former Bernie speechwriter, David Sirota, to talk about where things stand and discuss the need for progressives in congress to HOLD THE LINE and not support these bills moving forward unless items like Paid Family Leave, Medicare Expansion, and taxing the ultra-rich are put back in.

For the past few weeks, conservative, corporatist Democrats in Congress have been chipping away at what Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders have teamed up to create -- a massive $3.5 trillion investment in the American people. The negotiations on this legislation are ongoing and Mike is joined by a member of Congress fighting to keep the bill as robust and helpful to the majority of Americans as possible, Rep. Ro Khanna of California. Mike and Rep. Khanna discuss what?s in the damn bill, what listeners need to do to help get it passed, what it?s failure might mean to the country, and how devastating it could be politically. They also discuss Rep. Khanna?s collaboration with Paris Hilton to end the abuse of young people at treatment facilities. Finally, Mike listens to your voicemails.

Steven Donziger has spent the last 800 days under house arrest with a government tracking device around his ankle.

His crime?

Well, Donziger is the lawyer who successfully sued the oil giant Chevron on behalf of the people of Ecuador for deliberately discharging 16 billion gallons of toxic waste in the Ecuadorian Amazon between 1964 and 1992. Donziger and his colleagues succeeded and won a $9.5 billion judgment on behalf of the indigenous and poor communities of Ecuador in 2011. Chevron has yet to pay a dime on this judgement and instead, have brought this case to the friendly confines of the United States and turned Donziger, the person who successfully prosecuted them, into the one doing time.

Mike is joined by Steven Donziger, live from his house arrest, to explain the Kafka-esque/Twilight Zone case in which Donziger is serving as the punching bag of corporate America, with the American people footing the bill. They discuss this bizarre and unprecedented case, his condition, and what we all must do to fight back.

India Walton shocked the political world and upset the establishment by running against and defeating a four-term incumbent Democratic Mayor of Buffalo this past June in the Democratic primary. She?s a nurse, a union organizer, a single mother, and she will become the first socialist mayor of a major American city since 1960 if she wins the general election in November.

The political establishment in Buffalo is not taking this lightly. So, while she should be coasting to a victory in November because Buffalo is overwhelmingly Democratic, she has a very difficult opponent, backed by Trump people ? Byron Brown, the guy she just defeated in the primary.

This is such an important race -- all the issues we are facing all over the country -- Covid-19, the police state, the prison industrial complex, economic inequality, climate, and sexual violence -- they all play a role in this race. And India Walton?s a thoughtful and forceful candidate and leader we should get behind to take care of these issues that plague us all.

Congress could be on the verge of passing a historic investment in America's human and physical infrastructure not seen since the 1930's. The overwhelming majority of the Democratic caucus is behind it, the majority of Americans in countless opinion polls support it and it is the backbone of President Biden's domestic agenda. Yet two Democratic Senators -- Joe Manchin of West Virginia and Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona -- stand in the way of getting it done. Michael Moore is joined by Rep. Ilhan Omar on this Emergency Podcast System episode of Rumble to find out where this legislation currently stands and what the American people can do to help pass it. The answer: call Senator Sinema and Senator Manchin's offices and tell them to support the Build Back Better Act.

Chris Hedges is one of the great journalists, thinkers, war reporters and truth-tellers of our time. He won the Pulitzer Prize for reporting on global terrorism while at the New York Times, who later fired him for speaking out against the Iraq war.

He joins Michael to speak on Afghanistan, the collapse of the American empire, the upcoming 9/11 anniversary, and the end of abortion rights in Texas (and around the U.S.)

Hedges was a war correspondent for many years and has seen awful human degradation, societies in collapse, social bonds being ruptured, and people turning to ?self-destructive behavior and magical thinking.? Alarmingly, he sees all of these signals of decay here in America.

Hedges has also studied the Evangelical Christian Right in America and wrote a prescient book in 2008 titled, ?American Fascists: The Christian Right and the War on America.? He details the decades-long battle on women?s reproductive rights, the cynical and dishonest methods used to restrict access to abortion and how this pernicious form of fascism has only grown stronger since that book was published.

However, as a teacher, an ordained Presbyterian minister, and a graduate from Harvard?s Divinity School, Hedges draws on the teachings of great philosophers and theologians to lay out a moral imperative for solidarity and struggle and explains why we must not succumb to despair.

Within days after the U.S. losing its longest-ever war, its new President stepped in, and in less than two weeks, evacuated thousands of Americans to safety ? and over 100,000 Afghan refugees. In the face of knowing that ISIS ? sworn enemy of both the Taliban and the Pentagon ? was planning to disrupt the peaceful evacuation in Kabul, Biden and his team organized hundreds of flights, in and out of Kabul, to Germany, Italy, Spain and four Gulf States. He ordered United, Delta and four other American airlines  to fork over 18 commercial jumbo jets to assist in the evacuation, immediately setting  up refugee housing villages at Ft. Bliss in Texas, and bases in New Jersey, Wisconsin and Virginia. And he oversaw private negotiations with the Taliban to secure as best possible the safety of every single American and Afghan refugee. The result? Not one single American or Afghan, who helped America,  has been killed by the Taliban. Not one plane shot down. And in spite of the ISIS-K suicide bombings, Biden has not flinched, not retreated, not backed down. He has forged ahead with his evacuation plan with the help of the Taliban. *The help of the Taliban!* Biden is a genius to have pulled this off.

Bernie campaigner Michael Moore, here on this episode of his RUMBLE podcast, dissects how Biden has saved tens of thousands of lives ? and his reward is to be pilloried by the same pro-war press that got us into this mess and by an American public that has turned its back on him. ?We deserve what we get,? says Mike in his blistering, spot-on defense of a President he didn?t want to vote for.
