>> James: I ABSOLUTELY AGREE.
AND IT'S BEEN JUST THE MOST-- I MEAN I FOUND HIM BEING BANNED
FROM ALL SOCIAL MEDIA.
YOU HAVE BEEN ON THE RECEIVING END OF ONE OF TRUMP'S TWITTER
NICKNAMES.
WHAT IS YOUR FEELING ABOUT TRUMP BEING BANNED FROM SOCIAL MEDIA
ACCOUNTS.
>> WHEN I HEARD THAT, HE WAS BANNED FROM TWITTER MAY FIRST
THOUGHT WAS OH THERE GOES MY RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM.
BECAUSE HE TWEETED AT ME OR ABOUT ME AT LEAST A DOZEN TIMES.
AND I AM ONE OF, I'M IN A SELECT CLUB OF PEOPLE WHERE HE COMES UP
WITH A NICKNAME OR HE CALLS BIDEN SLEEPY JOE.
THERE ARE CERTAIN PEOPLE WHO GET A NICKNAME AND I'M ONE OF THOSE
PEOPLE.
AND MY NICKNAME THAT HE BESTOWED UPON ME IS SLOPPY MIKE.
AND I THOUGHT YOU KNOW, ACTUALLY THE FIRST TIME I HEARD HIM SAY
THAT ABOUT ME, I THOUGHT THIS IS ONE OF THE FEW TIMES HE'S
TELLING THE TRUTH.
YOU KNOW.
I CAN GO WITH THIS.
IT'S A RELIEF FOR MOST PEOPLE THAT WE HAVE NOT HAD TO WAKE UP
FOR THE LAST SEVEN OR TEN MORNINGS WITH HIM AND HIS TWEET,
IT HAS BEEN NICE, IT HAS BEEN QUIE ELEVATOR.
BUT HERE IS THE DANGEROUS PART, WHAT WAS GREAT, IS THAT WE
ALWAYS KNEW WHAT HE WAS UP TO.
HE ALWAYS SHOWED HIS HAND.
AND NOW WE DON'T KNOW WHAT HE IS DOING.
WE HAVEN'T SEEN HIM.
WE DON'T KNOW WHAT HE IS UP TO.
I AM KIND OF NOW, THINKING DAMN, GIVE ME JUST ONE HOUR OF
TWITTER, RIGHT NOW, JUST SO WE CAN GET A CLUE AS TO WHAT HE HAS
PLAN FORTH INAUGURATION, THAT'S IT.
>> James: I MEAN THE BANNING OF THE SOCIAL MEDIA, BANNED FROM
THERE AND YOUTUBE TAKING DOWN HIS CHANNEL FOR A WEEK AND ALL
OF THESE THINGS, THIS ELECTION, IT'S NOT JUST THIS ELECTION, IT
IS POLITICS ALL OVER THE WORLD, IF I THINK ABOUT THE BREXIT VOTE
AT HOME AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
THIS IS THE FIRST TIME REALLY WHERE TRUTH DOESN'T SEEM TO
MATTER.
AND SOMEONE'S TRUTH OVER HERE IS A DIFFERENT THING, TO SOMEONE'S
TRUTH OVER HERE AND THE PEOPLE ARE BEING LIED TO WHICH
POLITICIANS WERE NEVER ALLOWED TO DO.
AND NOW SEEMINGLY THAT'S FINE BECAUSE THE-- THE WHAT IS EVEN
REAL AND TRUE.
ARE YOU SOMEONE WHO HAS MADE A CAREER OUT OF EXPOSING THE
TRUTH.
WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THIS AND NEWS AND MEDIA, AND FAKE NEWS, I
GUESS, HOW DO WE COMBAT THAT MOVING FORWARD.
>> WELL REAL TRUTH PEOPLE SAY HOW, 74 MILLION PEOPLE VOTED FOR
TRUMP AND I SAID YES BUT YOU KNOW, 74 MILLION PEOPLE USED TO
SMOKE HICKORY.
AND THEN HE SEENT-- EVENTUALLY THEY DIDN'T.
AND NOW IT IS JUST A FEW MILLION THAT SPOKE.
WITH THINGS WE WHAT NEVER THINK WOULD HAPPEN, THAT I MEAN THE
HOMOPHOBIA THAT EXISTS IN THIS COUNTRY.
AND THEN IT JUST KIND OF, IT WENT AWAY BECAUSE PEOPLE STARTED
SPEAKING TRUTH.
THEY ONLY GAY PEOPLE CAME OUT TO FRIENDS AND RELATIVES AND
EVERYBODY SAID WELL, YOU'RE GAY, BUT I LOVE YOU.
YOU ARE MY AUNT, YOU ARE MY SON.
YOU ARE-- AND BECAUSE LOVE WINS, USUALLY, LOVE WINS.
AND SO THEY THROUGH THEIR TRUTH ENDED A MASS HOMOPHOBIC ATTITUDE
IN THIS COUNTRY.
SO I THINK THAT WITH BIDEN AND ALL OF US WHO VOTED FOR HIM,
WHAT WE HAVE TO DO FOR THE PEOPLE WHO VOTED FOR DONALD
TRUMP, IS WE HAVE TO GIVE THEM THE THINGS THAT WE PROMISED.
BECAUSE THEN THEY'RE GOING TO START TO GO WOW, HEALTH CARE IS
LIKE FREE?
I DON'T HAVE TO PAY A DOCTOR'S BILL?
I'M NOT GOING TO LOSE MY HOUSE BECAUSE I WENT BANKRUPT FROM A
HOSPITAL STAY.
THAT'S RIGHT.
WHO DID THAT?
WELL, JOE BIED ENAND THOSE DAMN DEMOCRATS DID.
AND THEY THINK OH MY GOD, MY MINIMUM WAGE JOB I'M NOW BEING
PAID DOUBLE WHAT I WAS PAID LAST YEAR, IF THEY RAISE IT.
MY WIFE WHO WANTS TO PIG EL-- WORK THE AT PIG ELY WIGGLY IS
NOW MAKING THE SAME AS THE CASHIER NEXT TO HER, BUT NOW THE
DEMOCRATS MADE IT THE LAW THAT WOMEN ARE TO BE PAID THE SAME AS
MEN.
I THINK ENOUGH OF THAT WILL TAKE ENOUGH OF THEM TO SAY OKAY,
THEY'RE NOT GOING TO CALL THEMSELVES DEMOCRATS OR LIBERALS
OR WHATEVER, BUT THEY ARE SURE GOING TO SEE THAT WHEN WE DO
THINGS, WE DO IT FOR EVERYBODY.
WHEN THE REPUBLICANS DO THINGS LIKE BIG TAX CUTS FOR THE RICH,
IT IS FOR JUST A FEW PERCENTAGE.
OF THE POPULATION.
BUT WHEN WE DO THINGS, WE'RE GOING TO MAKE SURE THAT YOUR
QUIDS GOES TO COLLEGE FOR FREE.
WE'RE GOING TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE NOT GOING TO ENTER WARS
THAT WE HAVE NO BUSINESS BEING IN.
WE'RE NOT GOING TO SEND YOUR SONS AND DAUGHTERS OFF TO DIE.
THEY ARE GOING TO SEE THAT WE DON'T JUST DO THINGS TO BENEFIT
US.
WE DO IT FOR EVERYBODY.
>> James: IS HE GOING TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT, JOE BIDEN, WHEN
YOU LOOK AT HIM.
DO YOU THINK, I ABSOLUTELY THINK HE WANTS TO.
IS HE GOING TO BE ABLE TO DELIVER ON ALL OF THOSE
PROMISES?
>> AT THE BEGINNING OF LAST YEAR WHEN I WAS CAMPAIGNING WITH
BERNIE, I WOULD HAVE SAID NO.
BUT I AND BERNIE BELIEVE THAT WE HAVE GOT A NEW JOE BIDEN HERE.
AND YOU CAN SEE FLEW HIS CABINET SELECTIONS, YOU CAN SEE THROUGH
THE THINGS THAT HE IS TALKING ABOUT EVERY DAY, HE IS GOING TO
BE A BULL DOG FOR THESE THINGS.
AND IF I'M WRONG, I WILL COME BACK ON THE SHOW AND I WILL EAT
THIS GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS HAT.
BUT I HONESTLY BELIEVE, YOU KNOW, HE KNOWS.
HE EVEN SAID THIS, HE GUARANTEE TIED ONE TERM, HE SAID.
HE WON'T COMMIT TO THE SECOND TERM BECAUSE HE KNOWS HE IS 78
YEARS OLD.
HE KNOWS HE IS IN THE FINAL YEARS OF HIS LIFE.
AND I THINK HE WANTS TO LEAVE A LEGACY BEHIND THAT IS GOING TO
BE POWERFUL, LIKE FRANKLIN ROOSEVELT.
WE'RE GOING TO HAVE THIS BETTER COUNTRY THAT EVERYBODY,
EVERYBODY WILL HAVE A SEAT AT THE TABLE.
AND EVERYBODY WILL GET A SLICE OF THE PIE.
THAT IS WHAT BEING AN AMERICAN IS ABOUT, THAT EVERYONE IS PART
OF IT.
>> James: YES, YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT.
I REALLY WANT TO TALK ABOUT YOUR PODCAST.
RUMBLE WITH MICHAEL MOORE.
HOW IS IT GOING?
YOU LAUNCHED IT LAST YEAR, ARE YOU ENJOYING DOING THIS?

DOWNLOAD OF IT WITH NO, NO ADS, NO NOTHING.
JUST PEOPLE HAVE FOUND IT.
AND I AM SO BLESSED AND SO PRIVILEGED AND I AM ABLE TO SAY
