>>> AS PROMISED, JOINING ME NOW, OSCAR-WINNING DOCUMENTARY
OSCAR-WINNING DOCUMENTARY FILMMAKER, AUTHOR AND ACTIVIST,
THE ONE AND ONLY MICHAEL MOORE.
GOOD TO SEE YOU AGAIN.
>> IT’S GOOD TO SEE YOU HERE ON
CASUAL FRIDAY.
CASUAL FRIDAY. >> IT’S FALL BACK FRIDAY.
>> THEY WERE TRYING TO PUT
MAKEUP ON ME.
I SAID THERE’S NOTHING YOU CAN
FIX HERE.
FIX HERE. IT’S CASUAL MAKEUP FRIDAY FOR
ME.
ME. >> WELL, THEY SAY IF IT AIN’T
BROKE.
BROKE. >> WELL, THAT’S THE OVERTHER WAY
LOOK AT IT.
BETTER SELF-ESTEEM WOULD HELP.
>> WE JUST WATCHED THAT
ACCOUNTING.
ACCOUNTING. TO SEE IT ALTOGETHER IS QUITE
STRIKING.
STRIKING. COULD YOU WRITE A STORY LIKE
THAT?
THAT? WHAT DOES IT MEAN WHEN THE
PROTAGONISTS SAY WE DID IT, WE
DO CRIMES.
DO CRIMES. GET OVER IT.
>> WE HAVE TO TAKE THIS
SERIOUSLY.
SERIOUSLY. IT IS OBVIOUSLY A ROLLING
THUNDER REVIEW OF COMEDY GOING
ON IN THE WHITE HOUSE.
NONETHELESS THEY’RE STILL IN
CHARGE EVERY DAY.
THEIR EPA IS GETTING RID OF
REGULATIONS TO PROTECT US.
THEIR INTERIOR DEPARTMENT IS
SELLING OFF OUR PUBLIC LANDS TO
THE OIL AND GAS COMPANIES, ET
CETERA, ET CETERA.
SO REAL THINGS ARE HAPPENING
WHILE WE’RE ALL --
>> SURE.
>> SURE. >> -- BAFFLED BY THIS IMPLOSION
THAT SEEMS TO BE TAKING PLACE.
AND SO ON ONE HAND IT’S GOOD TO
LAUGH.
LAUGH. ON THE OTHER HAND WE NEED TO ACT
AS QUICK AS POSSIBLE AND WE’RE
ALL GOING TO BE OKAY IF THAT
HAPPENS.
HAPPENS. I DO BELIEVE THAT.
>> YOU’VE TALKED A LOT ABOUT HOW
REGULAR PEOPLE WHO AREN’T
POLITICALLY OBSESSED THE WAY
SOME OF US MIGHT BE OR NEWS
OBSESSED HEAR ABOUT STUFF, LEARN
ABOUT STUFF, AND YOU’RE UNIQUELY
QUALIFIED WITH THAT WHEN YOU
LOOK AT HOW YOU’VE DEALT WITH
JOBS IN THE MANUFACTURING
CRISIS, GUNS WHICH I’M GOING TO
GET TO AND THE IRAQ WAR.
YOU LOOK AT HOW PEOPLE
UNDERSTAND THE STORIES AND HOW
TO CHANGE MINDS.
I WONDER IF WHAT WE SAW FROM MR.
MULVANEY, FOR WHATEVER REASON HE
DID IT, IN YOUR VIEW WAS ONE OF
THESE INFLECTION POINTS THAT
COULD CHANGE MINDS.
MR. MULVANEY COMING OUT TO THE
PODIUM AND PRESSED ON THE
SPECIFICS OF WHETHER THIS WAS AN
ATTEMPT TO GET A FOREIGN COUNTRY
TO DO IT, TIED TO EXTORTING A
BRIBE AROUND MONEY, AND HE SAYS
YES.
YES. TAKE A LOOK.
>> DID HE ALSO MENTION TO ME IN
THE PAST THE CORRUPTION RELATED
TO THE DNC SERVER?
ABSOLUTELY.
ABSOLUTELY. NO QUESTION ABOUT THAT.
BUT THAT’S IT.
THAT’S WHY WE HELD UP THE MONEY.
THE LOOK BACK TO WHAT HAPPENED
IN 2016 CERTAINLY WAS PART OF
THE THING THAT HE WAS WORRIED
ABOUT IN CORRUPTION WITH THAT
NATION.
NATION. AND THAT IS ABSOLUTELY
APPROPRIATE.
APPROPRIATE. >> WITHHOLDING THE FUNDING?
>> YEAH.
>> YEAH. >> WHAT YOU JUST DESCRIBED IS A
QUID PRO QUO.
>> WE DID THAT ALL THE TIME WITH
FOREIGN POLICY.
FOREIGN POLICY. I HAVE NEWS FOR EVERYBODY, GET
OVER IT.
OVER IT. >> THIS MAN OBVIOUSLY IS GOING
TO BE ADMITTED INTO HEAVEN.
YOU KNOW, HE TOLD THE TRUTH.
>> OKAY.
>> OKAY. >> YOU HAVE TO APPRECIATE IT ON
THAT LEVEL.
THAT LEVEL. >> ARE YOU CALLING MICK MULVANEY
AN ANGEL?
AN ANGEL? >> NO, NO, THE ANGELS ARE
ALREADY IN HEAVEN.
>> I’VE GOT TO TELL YOU
SOMETHING.
SOMETHING. I DON’T KNOW IF YOU KNOW THIS
ABOUT MY BACKGROUND.
I’M NOT REALLY UP TO SPEED ON
THE WHOLE HEAVEN THING.
>> NO.
>> NO. THIS IS ONE OF THE GREAT THINGS
ABOUT YOUR RELIGION, IF I MAY
COMPLIMENT THIS.
COMPLIMENT THIS. ISN’T THERE LIKE A THIRD HOLIDAY
OR HOLY DAY WE’RE IN RIGHT NOW?
BUT BASICALLY THE IDEA THAT
THERE IS NO HELL IS BRILLIANT
BECAUSE ALL OF US WHO HAD TO
BELIEVE IN THERE -- WE HAD A
DIFFICULT ADOLESCENCE.
DIFFICULT ADOLESCENCE. >> YOU’RE NOT A TRUMP FAN BUT
YOU ARE VERY POSITIVE ON MICK
MULVANEY AS YOU PUT IT.
YOU THOUGHT HE TOLD THE TRUTH.
>> YEAH, HE CAME RIGHT OUT
THERE.
THERE. AGAIN, IF THERE WAS A MOVIE
VERSION OF THIS, SOMEBODY STUCK
HIM WITH A NEEDLE JUST BEFORE HE
WALKED OUT ONTO THE STAGE THERE,
A TRUTH SERUM NEEDLE, AND HE
JUST WENT ON AND ON SAYING,
YEAH, THAT’S WHAT WE DO.
YEAH, OF COURSE.
ESSENTIALLY ADMITTING THERE IS A
QUID PRO QUO.
IN FACT THERE’S MANY QUID PRO
QUOS.
QUOS. WE DO THIS ALL THE TIME OF THE
AND THEN ADMONISHING US IN GOOD
CATHOLIC SCHOOL FASHION.
GET OVER IT.
IT’S LIKE, OKAY, I’M OVER IT.
I BELIEVE YOU.
I BELIEVE THAT YOU, THE
PRESIDENT AND WHOEVER ELSE WAS
ON THAT PHONE CALL PARTICIPATED
IN A HIGH CRIME, THE LIKES OF
WHICH I NEVER STUDIED IN SCHOOL
NOR HAVE I LIVED THROUGH, AND WE
HAVE LIVED THROUGH SOME
PRESIDENTS THAT I DIDN’T
PARTICULARLY CARE FOR, BUT THEY
DIDN’T DO THIS.
AND I THINK THAT I’M JUST --
SOOIMI’M
SOOIMI’M SURPRISED, I’VE GOT TO TELL YOU.
IT’S BEEN THREE WEEKS NOW SINCE
TRUMP ESSENTIALLY FIRST ADMITTED
IT, THAT HE’S STILL THERE.
IT -- I DON’T KNOW MANY
PEOPLE --
PEOPLE -- >> YOU’RE SAYING IF YOU THINK
SOMEONE LIKE PRESIDENT OBAMA DID
THIS, ORCHESTRATED IT AND
ADMITTED IT, YOU THINK THE
WHEELS WOULD MOVE WAY FASTER?
>> AND NOT ONLY THAT, PRESIDENT
OBAMA, BEING A MAN OF
CONSCIENCE, WOULD HAVE HAD TO
SAY, YOU KNOW, I SCREWED UP IN A
BIG WAY.
BIG WAY. I PUT MY PERSONAL SELF-INTERESTS
AHEAD OF THE COUNTRY’S.
I PUT THE INTERESTS OF THIS
OTHER COUNTRY RUN BY A
TOTALITARIAN LEADER AHEAD OF OUR
INTERESTS, AND SO I WILL HAVE TO
RESIGN.
RESIGN. DECENT PEOPLE THROUGHOUT HISTORY
HAVE DONE THAT.
THAT, OF COURSE, ISN’T GOING TO
HAPPEN HERE.
HAPPEN HERE. BUT I JUST THINK IT’S AMAZING TO
ME -- AND I HAVE TO SAY -- CAN I
JUST SAY A WORD OF NANCY PELOSI
HAS ACTUALLY DONE A BRILLIANT
JOB.
JOB. I SEE NOW THAT SHE’S TRYING TO
EXTEND THIS.
EXTEND THIS. DO YOU EVER WATCH "WHEEL OF
FORTUNE"?
FORTUNE"? >> SURE.
>> SURE. >> IS THERE A T, IS THERE AN L,
AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE PHRASE
IS UP THERE.
YOU CAN SEE IT, EVERYBODY CAN
SEE WHAT IT IS, THERE’S STILL
LIKE FOUR OR FIVE LETTERS.
THEY DON’T JUST CALL IT, THEY
WANT TO SQUEEZE IT OUT,
EXTENDING IT A LITTLE BIT LONGER
UNTIL THEY SAY EVERY LAST
LETTER.
LETTER. THAT’S IT LOOKS LIKE WHAT’S
GOING ON.
GOING ON. >> DRAWING THIS OUT.
>> SHE IS DRAWING THIS OUT TO
GET THAT LAST W, THAT LAST Z,
WHATEVER IT IS, BECAUSE IT’S
CLEAR TO ALL OF US NOW THAT,
ARI, THERE IS MORE.
THERE’S MORE IN THAT SERVER.
THEY PUT MORE IN THAT SERVER.
>> IF I CAN EXTEND AN ANALOGY,
SPEAKER PELOSI DOESN’T HAVE TO
BUY A VOWEL BECAUSE MICK
MULVANEY JUST GAVE IT TO HER FOR
FREE.
FREE. >> AND HE JUST SPUN THE WHEEL
AND IT HIT BANKRUPT.
IT WAS GOING BETWEEN LOSE A TURN
AND BANKRUPT.
AND BANKRUPT. >> NOW WE’RE GOING TO GET TO
MONOPOLY BECAUSE I THINK IT HIT
GO DIRECTLY TO JAIL.
>> DO PEOPLE WATCHING THIS THINK
LESS OF US THAT WE KNOW "WHEEL
OF FORTUNE" THAT WELL?
>> I DON’T KNOW WHAT PEOPLE
THINK.
THINK. LET ME PLAY A LITTLE OF SPEAKER
PELOSI BECAUSE SHE HAS BEEN
PRESSED ON THE TIME LANE BEFORE.
SHE’S TANGLING WITH MITCH
McCONNELL WHO SAYS IF THEY SEND
IT TO HIM, HE WANTS TO DO A
TRIAL BY CHRISTMAS.
>> I HAVE NO IDEA.
THE TIMELINE WILL DEPEND ON THE
TRUTH LINE AND THAT’S WHAT WE’RE
LOOKING FOR.
LOOKING FOR. >> THIS IS WHERE YOU COME IN
BECAUSE I WILL TELL YOU THIS.
A TRIAL IS ALWAYS A STORY.
YOU DON’T GO INTO EVERY SINGLE
INCRIMINATING THING ABOUT THE
PERSON.
PERSON. YOU FIGURE OUT HOW TO EXPLAIN
CLEARLY TO THE JURY.
HERE THE JURY IS THE SENATE, BUT
THE SENATE HAS CONSTITUENTS.
DO YOU THINK SPEAKER PELOSI AND
THE DEMOCRATS HAVE MORE THEY
NEED TO ADD TO THIS STORY OR
NOT?
NOT? >> YES AND NO.
THEY HAVE MORE THAT’S GOING TO
COME OUT IN THE SAME STORY LINE
SIMILAR TO WHAT HAPPENED WITH
UKRAINE.
UKRAINE. SHE’S RIGHT, WE DON’T NEED NOW
TO THROW THE 57 ARTICLES OF
IMPEACHMENT UP AGAINST TRUMP FOR
THE 157 THINGS HE DID IN THESE
LAST THREE YEARS.
THAT WOULD BE CRAZY TIME.
THEY’RE VERY RIGHT TO FOCUS ON
THIS ONE THING.
MY FEELING IS, IS THAT THERE IS
MORE THERE THAT HAS COME OUT.
>> FASCINATING.
>> FASCINATING. >> EVEN JUST THIS WEEK WITH THE
PEOPLE THAT HAVE BEEN
TESTIFYING.
TESTIFYING. >> YEAH.
>> YEAH. >> AND WE SORT OF KNOW WHAT THEY
HAVE SAID.
HAVE SAID. WE’VE LEARNED NEW THINGS EVEN
THIS WEEK THAT ONLY PUT THE NAIL
IN THE COFFIN DEEPER.
