>>> MICHAEL MOORE IS BACK WITH US, WE HAVE TO TALK ABOUT 2020.
MICHAEL, THERE ARE A LOT OF
PEOPLE RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT ON
THE DEMOCRATIC SIDE.
A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO ARE ASKING
THEMSELVES THE QUESTION, ABOUT
WHETHER THEY CAN DO A BETTER JOB
THAN DONALD TRUMP.
MOST OF THEM ARE COMING UP WITH
AN ANSWER THAT SAYS, YES, THAT
GROUP OF EIGHT IS GOING TO
BECOME BIGGER OVER THE NEXT
COUPLE MONTHS.
COUPLE MONTHS. ARE THEY ASKING THEMSELVES THE
RIGHT QUESTION?
RIGHT QUESTION? >> NO, BECAUSE CAN I DO BETTER
THAN DONALD TRUMP?
CAMERA TWO, I’D VOTE FOR HIM.
YOU KNOW, SERIOUSLY.
ANYONE IN THIS ROOM, ANYONE OUT
THERE, ANYONE WATCHING RIGHT NOW
COULD DO A BETTER JOB THAN
DONALD TRUMP.
DONALD TRUMP. THE QUESTION THEY NEED TO BE
ASKING IS, WHO’S GOING TO CRUSH
DONALD TRUMP, WHO CAN WIN,
REALLY WIN.
REALLY WIN. NOT JUST THE POPULAR VOTE, BUT
WIN PENNSYLVANIA, WISCONSIN AND
MICHIGAN.
MICHIGAN. ASK YOURSELVES THAT AT HEAM,
WHO’S THAT PERSON THAT RIGHT
NOW, TONIGHT COULD CRUSH DONALD
TRUMP.
TRUMP. >> DO YOU THINK THAT’S MORE
IMPORTANT THAN TAKING POSITIONS
ON THINGS?
ON THINGS? WE KNEW THAT HEALTH CARE WAS ONE
OF THE BIGGEST ISSUES TO
AMERICAN VOTERS IN THE LAST
ELECTION.
ELECTION. EVERYONE’S STAKING OUT A
POSITION ON HEALTH CARE.
A LOT OF THEM ARE COMING OUT ON
THE SIDE OF SINGLE PAIR HEALTH
CARE.
CARE. YOU THINK WHO CAN CRUSH DONALD
TRUMP WILL BE THE SINGLE MOST
IMPORTANT QUESTION?
IMPORTANT QUESTION? >> I THINK IT WILL BE.
HEALTH CARE, TAX THE RICH, RAISE
THE MINIMUM WAGE.
AND MASS ENCARCERATION.
ALL THESE THINGS THAT ARE
ESSENTIALLY BEING PUSHED BY THE
NEW PROGRESSIVE DEMOCRATS IN THE
HOUSE, THAT’S WHAT I -- I
WISH -- IT’S TOO BAD THAT YOU
HAVE TO BE 35 TO BE PRESIDENT.
PUT THAT IN THE CONSTITUTION.
THE FOUNDING FATHERS, BECAUSE
DIED AT 38 OR 40 BACK THEN.
WE NEED TO LOWER THAT.
IF THAT WAS LOWERED TO 30.
>> ALL RIGHT.
ALEXANDRIA OCASIO-CORTEZ, IS
THAT WHERE YOU’RE GOING WITH
THIS?
THIS? >> SHE JUST HAS TO BE 30 BY THE
TIME --
TIME -- >> EVERYONE CAN OUT PROGRESSIVE
EACH OTHER.
EACH OTHER. >> SHE IS THE LEADER.
SHE’S THE LEADER, EVERYONE KNOWS
IT, EVERYONE FEELS IT, SHE’S THE
LEADER OF THIS MASS MOVEMENT,
I’M NOT TALKING ABOUT A MOVEMENT
IN TERMS OF AN ORGANIZATION.
I’M TALKING ABOUT A FOX NEWS
POLL THIS WEEK, WHERE IT SAID,
70% OF THE AMERICAN PUBLIC AGREE
WITH HER ON HAVING THE TOP
MARGINAL RATE FOR THE RICH,
THEIR TAXES, 70% RATE ON THE
RICH.
RICH. THAT’S A FOX NEWS POLL SAYING
THAT.
THAT. OVER 2/3 OF THE COUNTRY SUPPORT
THAT.
THAT. >> THERE ARE A LOT OF AMERICANS
THAT SUPPORT THAT.
THEY ALSO DON’T REMEMBER THAT WE
HAD MARGINAL TAX RATES ABOVE
90%.
90%. >> I GREW UP IN THAT TIME.
>> I’M NOT ADVOCATING FOR IT.
>> THE LIBRARIES WERE OPEN,
THERE WEREN’T POTHOLES, SCHOOLS
WERE GREAT.
WERE GREAT. >> FOX LIKES TALKING ABOUT
ALEXANDRIA OCASIO-CORTEZ MANY I
THINK THEY TALK ABOUT HER MORE
THAN ANYONE ELSE DOES.
THE RIGHT IS ENJOYING HAVING HER
AS THE IMAGE OF WHAT DEMOCRATS
ARE.
ARE. IS THERE A DANGER IF SOMEONE
THAT PROGRESSIVE RUNS, THAT IT
DOES TURN OFF MODERATES?
OR DO YOU THINK THAT’S A DANGER
NOT WORTH WORRIED ABOUT?
>> IF YOU’RE MODERATE, STOP
BEING MODERATE.
BEING MODERATE. TAKE A POSITION, THERE’S NO
MIDDLE GROUND ANY MORE.
THERE’S NO HALFWAY POINT TO,
SHOULD SOMEONE BE PAID A LIVING
WAGE?
WAGE? WELL, I’M A MODERATE, SO I THINK
THEY COULD BE PAID HALF OF A
LIVING WAGE.
LIVING WAGE. ON THE ISSUE OF CHOICE.
THERE’S NO HALFWAY THERE.
YOU’RE EITHER FOR IT OR YOU’RE
AGAINST IT.
AGAINST IT. YOU KNOW, DO YOU BELIEVE IN
EQUAL RIGHTS FOR WOMEN?
DO YOU BELIEVE WE SHOULD HAVE AN
EQUAL RIGHTS AMENDMENT?
YES OR NO.
THERE’S NO MIDDLE GROUND.
THIS IS NO TIME FOR MODERATION.
>> WHERE THERE IS MIDDLE GROUND
IS HEALTH CARE AND TAXES.
>> HOW MUCH?
70% OF THE PEOPLE SAID TAX THE
RICH.
RICH. >> OR WHAT KIND OF HEALTH CARE,
RIGHT?
RIGHT? THERE ARE MANY WAYS OF ENSURING
EVERYONE.
EVERYONE. YOU KNOW I LIKE MY SYSTEM FROM
CANADA, IT’S ONE OF SEVERAL
SYSTEMS THAT MOST OF THE
DEVELOPED WORLD USE.
>> YES, ALL OF THE DEVELOPED
WORLD.
WORLD. DON’T SAY MOST.
DON’T BE A MODERATE AND PULL
YOUR PUNCH HERE.
ALL OF THE DEVELOPED WORLD
HAS --
HAS -- >> EXCEPT FOR AMERICA.
>> EXCEPT FOR THIS COUNTRY.
AND IT’S SHAMEFUL, AND WE LOOK
WEIRD TOO.
WEIRD TOO. YOU CAN’T EXPLAIN IT TO A PERSON
FROM ANOTHER COUNTRY.
>> IT’S NOT A PROGRESSIVE POLICY
ANYWHERE ELSE IN THE WORLD, IT’S
JUST THE POLICY.
>> CONSERVATIVES IN CANADA WOULD
NEVER THINK OF REMOVING THEIR
CANADIAN HEALTH CARE.
BRITAIN, ALL BEHIND IT.
THIS IS THE CRAZIEST THING --
>> YOU FEEL STRONGLY THAT IT’S
PROGRESSIVE AND SPECIFICALLY
ALEXANDRIA OCASIO-CORTEZ?
ALEXANDRIA OCASIO-CORTEZ? >> YEAH, I DON’T THINK PEOPLE
DEFINE THEMSELVES IN THE OLD
WAY, I’M A DEMOCRAT, I’M A
REPUBLICAN.
REPUBLICAN. PEOPLE HAVE HAD IT.
THEY’RE TIRED OF LIVING FROM
PAYCHECK TO PAYCHECK.
THEY KNOW THEY’RE KIDS AREN’T
GOING TO PAY OFF THOSE STUDENT
LOANS.
LOANS. >> WE SAW IT IN THE SHUTDOWN.
>> LIE AFTER LIE.
THERE’S LINES IN CANADA OUTSIDE
THE DOCTORS OFFICES.
LIE AFTER LIE AFTER LIE AFTER
LIE.
LIE. HAS RALPH CALLED US YET,
ANYBODY?
ANYBODY? WE HAVE ONE MINUTE LEFT, RALPH.
>> I’M NOT HOLDING OUT A LOT OF
HOPE.
HOPE. >> I’M DISAPPOINTED.
>> MICHAEL, THANK YOU AS ALWAYS
FOR BEING HERE, I APPRECIATE IT.
WE WILL REMEMBER THIS
CONVERSATION WHEN 2020 COMES
AROUND.
AROUND. >> SUPER BOWL SUNDAY LET ME JUST
SAY.
SAY. >> YOU’RE GOING TO MAKE A
PREDICTION?
PREDICTION? >> QUIT THE WINING SAINTS.
IN THAT SAME GAME OF THAT PASS
INTERFERENCE, THERE WERE TWO
FACE MASKS THAT THE SAINTS DID
TO THE RAMS THAT THE REFS DIDN’T
CATCH.
CATCH. A ROUGHING UP OF A PLAYER, AND
THE CLOCK HAD RUN DOWN, BRADY
DIDN’T SNAP THE BALL.
YOU COULD LOOK AT FOUR DIFFERENT
THINGS THAT COULD HAVE CHANGED
THE GAME WHERE THE REFS MISSED
IT ON THE SAINTS.
THE SAINTS 2012, CASH FOR --
THEY GAVE BONUSES TO THEIR
PLAYERS IF THEY BROKE THE BONES
