IT IS GOOD TO SEE YOU, THOUGH I'M GUESSING NOT EVERYBODY FEELS
THAT WAY WHEN THEY SEE MICHAEL MOORE COMING TOWARD THEM,
ESPECIALLY IF YOU HAVE A CAMERA ON YOUR SHOULDER.
>> THAT IS SADLY TRUE.
AND THEY HAVE NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT.
I'M NONVIOLENT.
YOU KNOW, I'M JUST HERE FOR THE TRUTH.
>> Stephen: THAT'S ALL.
>> THAT'S ALL.
>> Stephen: YOU'RE JUST HERE TO SET THEM FREE, IN OTHER
WORDS.
>> YES, EXACTLY, YES >> Stephen: NOW YOU HAVE DONE
SOME DOCUMENTARIES OR DOCUMENTARIES AS I JUST SAID
ABOUT SOME PRETTY DARK, DISTURBING AND SOME WHAT
HOPELESS SUBJECTS.
BUT YOUR NEW MOVIE QUI WHICH IS "WHERE TO INVADE NEXT" SEEMS FOR
HOPEFUL THAN YOUR NORMAL STUFF.
HONEST, IT DOES.
EXPLAIN WHAT THAT MEANS, WHAT WHERE TO INVADE NEXT MEANS.
>> YES T IS HOPEFUL BECAUSE I WAS THINKING, WE SPENT THE LAST
DECADE AND A HALF INVADING THESE OTHER COUNTRIES.
IT HASN'T WORKED OUT SO WELL, I THINK WE WOULD AGREE.
AND I THOUGHT WELL, WHAT IF WE STARTED INVADING COUNTRIES AND
DIDN'T LIKE, DIDN'T KILL ANYBODY.
WE DIDN'T WANT THEIR OIL.
WE JUST WANTED SOME GOOD IDEAS.
SO I THOUGHT WHY DON'T I INVADE ITALY.
LIKE WHY DOESN'T THE PENTAGON JUST GO TO THE TRAVEL AGENT AND
PICK BETTER PLACES TO GO TO FOR THE TROOPS.
I MEAN SOUTH OF FRANCE, TUS CANNEE,
>> Stephen: SO YOU GO TO EUROPE.
>> I GO MOSTLY TO EUROPE.
GI TO NORTH AFRICA A LITTLE BIT.
BUT YES, I GO TO EUROPE AND GI TO PLACES WHERE IN ITALY YOU
HAVE SEVEN TO EIGHT WEEKS PAID VACATION.
EVERY WORKER HAS SEVEN TO AID WEEKS PAID VACATION.
(APPLAUSE) I GO TO GERMANY WHERE ALL
UNIVERSITY IS FREE, AS WELL AS FINLAND AND OTHER COUNTRIES.
YOU DON'T PAY ANY-- IN FACT, GERMANS HAVE JUST PASSED A LAW
OR SOMETHING SAYING AMERICANS CAN COME TO GERMAN UNIVERSITIES
FOREIGN TIRELY FREE.
ABSOLUTELY FREE.
YEAH.
>> Stephen: I ASSUME YOU HAVE GOT TO-- THE DOACH.
>> NO, NO EVEN IN COUNTRIES LIKE SLOVENIA THEY HAVE A HUNDRED
COURSE STUDIES THAT ARE TAUGHT IN ENGLISH.
YOU CAN COME THERE, GO TO UNIVERSITY, FOR FREE AND TAKE
ALL YOUR CLASSES IN ENGLISH >> Stephen: HOW DO THEY PAY
FOR THIS, KNOW.
BECAUSE EUROPE HAS GOT ENORMOUS DEBT IN SOME OF THEIR COUNTRIES.
HOW ARE THEY PAYING FOR IT.
>> YEAH, SO DO WE.
THEY PUT THEIR MONEY INTO EDUCATION AND INTO THEIR PEOPLE.
AND SO, THEY THINK IT'S A PUBLIC GOOD TO BE ABLE TO HAVE STUDENTS
HAVE EXPERIENCES WITH STUDENTS FROM OTHER COUNTRIES GOING TO
THE UNIVERSITY.
SO THEY HAVE A MORE DIVERSE, IF THEY HAVE, YOU KNOW, YOUNG
PEOPLE FROM UNITED STATES OR MEXICO, ARGENTINA OR WHATEVER,
THEY HAVE A BETTER EDUCATION HAVING THESE OTHER STUDENTS
THERE >> Stephen: YOU DON'T SEEM
ANGRY IN THIS ONE.
YOU DON'T SEEM LIKE YOU ARE HOLDING ANYBODY A FEET TO THE
FIRE.
ARE YOU LOSING YOUR EDGE?
>> I'M ACTUALLY, WELL, I DON'T-- THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION
>> Stephen: YOU SEEM ASTONISHED.
>> I AM, I AM STANDING, THIS ITALIAN COUP SELL TELLING ME
THAT IT IS THE LAW THAT WHEN THEY GET MARRIED, THEIR
HONEYMOON IS PAID FOR.
IT IS CONSIDERED A PAID VACATION.
IN FRANCE, THE DAY THAT YOU MOVE SAY FROM AN APARTMENT TO ANOTHER
APARTMENT, THAT IS A PAID DAY OFF.
IN THESE OTHER COUNTRIES IT IS SO CRAZY THE WAY THAT THEY SET
THINGS UP TO TAKE CARE OF THEIR PEOPLE.
BUT THEY ONLY SPEND 2 OR 4 OR 6 PERCENT ON OUR MILITARY.
WE SPEND UPWARDS OF 60% ON OUR MILITARY
>> Stephen: LISTEN, I'M GOING TO STAND UP FOR-- U.S. MILITARY.
>> WASTEFUL SPENDING >> Stephen: I DON'T KNOW ABOUT
WASTEFUL.
WHO KNOWS HOW MUCH A HAMMER SHOULD COST.
BUT THE EUROPEANS CAN HAVE A LOW MILITARY BUDGET BECAUSE WE HAVE
AN ENORMOUS MILITARY BUDGET.
THEY ARE UNDERNEATH THE AGE IS OF AMERICA'S MILITARY
PROTECTION.
>> I THINK THEY THINK WHAT PROTECTS THEM IS TO HAVE AN
EDUCATED POPULATION, PEOPLE THAT ARE WELL TAKEN CARE OF, MOTHERS
GET MATERNITY LEAVE FOR UP TO A YEAR PAID
>> Stephen: THEY HAVE BIG TROUBLE OVER THERE TOO THEY HAVE
RACISM.
>> ABSOLUTELY >> Stephen: THEY HAVE ECONOMIC
ISSUES.
THEY DON'T TREAT THEIR IMMIGRANTS VERY WELL.
>> I SAY THAT IN THE MOVIE.
BUT I'M THERE TO PICK THE FLOWERS NOT THE WEEDS.
IF A DOCUMENTARY FILMMAKER FROM AUSTRIA CAME HERE TO MAKE A
DOCUMENTARY ON THE GENIUS OF THE IPHONE OR SILICON VALLEY, YOU
WOULDN'T SAY TO THEM, WELL HOW COME YOU HAVEN'T POINTED OUT
THAT THERE HAS BEEN OVER 300 MASS SHOOTINGS IN THE U.S. JUST
THIS YEAR.
WHAT HAS THAT GOT TO DO WITH THE IPHONE, YES, THEY HAVE THEIR
PROBLEMS BUT I'M THERE TO SHOW YOU HOW THEY'VE TAKEN ACTUALLY A
LOT OF ORIGINAL AMERICAN IDEAS AND THEY TREAT THEIR PEOPLE
THERE-- THEY ENDED THE WAR ON DRUGS IN PORTUGAL.
>> Stephen: WE HAVE A CLIP ON THAT.
THIS WAS SOMETHING THAT AS TON MISHED ME.
YOU SEEMED GOB SMACKED TOO TALKING TO TWO PLITIONMAN IN
PORTUGAL ABOUT THE DECRIMINALIZATION OF ALL DRUGS.
>> IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THAT YOU DON'T ARREST PEOPLE FOR
USING DRUGS ANY MORE.
>> NO.
>> HEROIN, POT, MET, PILLS, NOTHING?
>> NO.
>> IF I TOLD YOU HAD I COULD CANE ON ME RIGHT NOW, YOU
WOULDN'T DO ANYTHING.
>> NO.
>> NO, OKAY.
OFFICERS, I HAVE COCANE IN MY POCKET.
A WHOLE BUNCH OF IT.
SORRY, >> Stephen: SO WHAT HAS IT
MEANT FOR PORTUGAL.
THAT IS SOMETHING THAT IS DIFFERENT, WHAT IS THE FALLOUT
FOR THEM SOCIALLY.
>> WHAT IT MANIES IS THEY HAVE NOT ARRESTED A SINGLE PERSON FOR
PO TETION-- POSSESSION OF DRUGS IN THE LAST 15 YEARS
>> Stephen: IS THIS A DRUG.
>> THE DRUG ROBB HAS GONE DOWN, DRUG RELATED CRIME HAS GONE
DOWN.
IT'S HAD THIS INCREDIBLE IMPACT.
YOU HAD JOHN LEGEND OUT HERE HE SAID WE'VE GOT TO RESOLVE THIS
PROBLEM HERE BECAUSE WE HAVE LOCKED UP TOO MANY PEOPLE.
WE'VE GOT-- AND THEN THEY CAN'T VOTE IN THIS COUNTRY.
IN PORTUGAL, NORWAY, THESE OTHER COUNTRIES, YOU GET OUT OF PRISON
YOU CAN VOTE.
THERE IS LIKE 35 STATES IN THIS COUNTRY WHERE ONCE YOU GET OUT
OF PRISON YOU CAN'T VOTE.
AND THAT MEANS IN STATES LIKE FLORIDA, ONE-THIRD OF ALL BLACK
MEN CANNOT VOTE, EVER >> Stephen: NOW YOU SOUND LIKE
YOU HAVE YOUR EDGE BACK A LITTLE BIT, OKAY.
>> I'M CONFUSED.
(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE) >> Stephen: THE REASON I ASK
IS DO YOU THINK THIS FILM, WHERE TO ININDIVIDUAL NEXT, DO YOU
THINK IT IS A LIBERAL FILM, CONSERVATIVE FILM.
DO YOU THINK THIS WOULD BE APPEALING TO GOP VOTERS OR
PEOPLE WHO ARE MAKING POLICY ON BOTH SIDES OF THE FENCE.
>> I DON'T CARE, REALLY F THEY COME, GREAT.
BUT THIS IS A DIFFERENT COUNTRY.
>> Stephen: WITHOUT DO YOU WANT TO HAVE SEE THIS, WHO IS
THE TARGET.
>> THE AMERICAN AUDIENCE, I WANT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE TO SEE.
THIS FIRST OF ALL, I WOULDN'T CALL IT LIBERAL OR CONSERVATIVE.
I WOULD CALL IT A COMEDY.
HAVE MADE A SATTIRE IT IS A FILM ABOUT THE UNITED STATES AND I
DON'T SHOOT A SINGLE FRAME OF FILM IN THE UNITED STATES IT IS
ALL SHOT IN OTHER COUNTRIES TO SHOW THE THINGS THEY HAVE THAT
WE COULD HAVE >> Stephen: IS THERE ANYTHING
THAT WE HAVE THAT THEY WANT?
>> YES, THEY COME TO AN AMERICAN SUPERMARKET AND SEE 157
VARIETIES OF BREAKFAST CEREAL, THAT BLOWS THEIR MIND.
THAT IS SOMETHING-- >> Stephen: HAVE THEY TRIED
OATIE-O'S.
>> YO GURT IN A TUBE, THEY WANT THAT
>> Stephen: ONE OF THE THINGS WE SAID, YOU WERE OUT BY TRUMP
TOWER.
>> YESTERDAY >> Stephen: YESTERDAY WITH A
SIGN SAYING WE ARE ALL MUSLIM.
>> WE ARE ALL MUSLIM >> Stephen: AND--
(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE) >> Stephen: ARE YOU SAYING
THAT CAMPAIGNS THAT ARE BASED ON FEAR OR DIVISIVENESS ARE COMING
TO AN END.
WHAT IS YOUR EVIDENCE OF THAT?
>> THEY ARE SO UNNERVED AND UNHINGED BY THE FACT THAT WE
HAVE HAD TWO TERMS OF A PRESIDENT WHOSE MIDDLE SNAIM
HUSSEIN, GAY PEOPLE CAN GET MARRIED NOW, STATES ARE
DECRIMINALIZING MARIJUANA.
THIS IS THE DIRECTION THE COUNTRY IS GOING
>> Stephen: CAN I DEFEND-- CAN I DEFEND THE APPEAL.
>> YEAH >> Stephen: I WOULD LIKE TO
DEFEND THE APPEAL, THOUGH I MAY NOT AGREE WITH WHAT DONALD TRUMP
SAYS, I CAN DEFEND THE APPEAL OF-- DEFEND THE APPEAL OF HOW HE
SAYS, SO OFTEN WE LOOK AT DIFFERENT PROBLEMS AND PEOPLE
SAY WHAT IS THERE TO DO.
THEY THROW UP THEIR HANDS.
AT LEAST HE SAYS HERE IS SOMETHING WE CAN DO.
IT MAY BE A DUMB IDEA, IT MAY BE UNCONSTITUTIONAL IDEA, IT MAY BE
A PURE, AN IDEA PURELY BASED ON BUSINESS PRACTICES.
>> IT'S APPEALING TO PEOPLE >> Stephen: WELL, BECAUSE IT
IS AN IDEA.
THEY WANT AN ANSWER.
>> THEY WANT AN ANSWER >> Stephen: ARE THERE ANSWERS
IN THIS FILM THAT WE HAVEN'T THOUGHT OF?
>> YES, THE FILM IS ALL ANSWERS.
IT'S LIKE NO PROBLEMS, ALL SOLUTIONS.
IT'S LIKE YOU WALK OUT OF THE FILM GOING OH, THAT'S WHAT WE
NEED TO DO.
>> Stephen: I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE IT.
(APPLAUSE) >> Stephen: THANK YOU SO MUCH,
MICHAEL.
>> THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME ON >> Stephen: WHERE TO INVADE
