>> WOW!
>> Stephen: WELCOME BACK.
THANK YOU.
>> Stephen: HOW HAVE YOU BEEN, MICHAEL MOORE?
>> WELL, WHAT CAN I SAY?
IT'S A GREAT TIME TO BE AN AMERICAN.
( LAUGHTER ) >> Stephen: IT IS A GREAT TIME
TO BE AN AMERICAN BECAUSE WE'RE THE ONES WHO ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR
THIS AND WE'VE GOT THE DO SOMETHING.
>> AND WE ARE GOING TO DO SOMETHING, AND IT'S TIME WE HAVE
TO SORT OF PROVE OUR METAL HERE.
LOOK, WE'RE IN DEEP, DEEP TROUBLE HERE.
>> Stephen: YOU HAVE A NEW FILM ABOUT THE TROUBLE THAT
WE'RE IN.
WHAT'S THE NAME OF THE FILM?
>> I'M FINISHING THE FILM RIGHT NOW.
>> Stephen: OKAY.
IT WILL BE OUT SEPTEMBER 21.
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) THANK YOU.
AND IT'S CALLED "FAHRENHEIT 11/9", THE NIGHT HE WAS
ANNOUNCED AS PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.
>> Stephen: ARE THERE ANY SURPRISES IN THIS?
I MEAN, WHAT ARE YOU COVERING?
BECAUSE "FHARENHEIT 9/11" CERTAINLY WAS ABOUT WHAT WE KNEW
IN THE LEADUP, WHAT THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION'S RESPONSE WAS,
THE PUSH TOWARD WAR.
WHAT IS THIS ABOUT?
>> THIS IS ABOUT HOW THE HELL WE GOT IN THIS SITUATION AND HOW
WE'RE GOING TO GET OUT OF IT.
>> Stephen: POLITICALLY OR DO YOU DEAL WITH COLLUSION OR CAN
YOU TELL US ANYTHING ABOUT IT?
>> I CAN'T REVEAL TOO MUCH RIGHT NOW.
WE'RE IN THE FINAL EDIT OF THE FILM.
>> Stephen: YOU HAVE A CLIP HERE, THOUGH.
>> YES.
YOU'RE GOING TO SEE THINGS YOU HAVE NOT SEEN, HOW ABOUT I JUST
PUT IT THAT WAY.
>> Stephen: OKAY.
I BROUGHT JUST A SMALL PIECE OF FOOTAGE FROM THE EDIT ROOM,
WHICH ACTUALLY IS ACROSS THE STREET.
>> Stephen: REALLY?
( LAUGHTER ) >> YEAH.
>> Stephen: OKAY.
CAN WE ROLL THAT?
>> Stephen: DO YOU WANT TO TELL US ABOUT WHAT SNTS.
>> I THINK IT WILL BE SELF-EXPLANATORY.
>> Stephen: OKAY, JIM, HIT IT.
♪ >> HEY.
MICHAEL MOORE.
>> HOW ARE YOU, SIR?
WE'RE JUST IN THE AREA SHOOTING MY NEXT FILM.
>> OKAY.
THOUGHT I WOULD CHECK OUT THE SOUTHERN WHITE HOUSE.
SECRET SERVICE SE?T ME DOWN HERE.
I WANT TO GO UP AND TALK TO DONALD TRUMP.
CAN I ASK, TELL HIM IT'S ME.
>> I KNOW, I KNOW.
( SIREN ) >> Stephen: DID THEY NOT LET
YOU IN?
>> I WAS IN THERE FOR A TOTAL OF 11 AND A HALF MINUTES.
>> Stephen: DID THEY FORCIBLY TOSS YOU OUT?
>> NO, THEY'RE NOT ABLE TO DO THAT WITH ME.
( LAUGHTER ) >> Stephen: MICHAEL MOORE,
WERE YOU CIVIL?
>> I WAS AS CIVIL AS ANY EAGLE SCOUT CATHOLIC ALTAR BOY COULD
BE WHEN CONFRONTED WITH THE DEVIL.
>> Stephen: YOU'VE GOT TO GIVE THE DEVIL HIS DUE, BENEFIT OF
LAW.
( APPLAUSE ) WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF UNCIVILITY.
>> THE CALLS COMING FROM THE UNCIVIL SAYING DEMOCRATS WERE SO
WIMPY AND WEAK, NO, IT'S OKAY, WE'LL TAKE HALF TO HAVE
UNIVERSAL HEALTHCARE, WE DON'T NEED THE WHOLE THING, THAT'S HOW
OUR SIDE SOUNDS, WE'RE CONSTANTLY GIVING IN.
A FEW PEOPLE WANT TO STAND UP AND SAY I'VE HAD ENOUGH, THAT'S
IT.
WE DON'T HAVE TO BE VIOLENT, WE HAVE TO REMAIN UNVIOLENT, BUT IF
THE WORST THAT HAPPENS IN THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION THAT THEY
DON'T GET TO HAVE A CHICKEN DINNER, I MEAN, IN VIRGINIA, I
DON'T KNOW -- SERIOUSLY, IF IT WERE JUST WE HAD THESE
DIFFERENCES, I DON'T THINK IT'S RIGHT TO THROW SARAH SANDERS OUT
OF THE RESTAURANT IF I DISAGREE WITH HER POLITICALLY, IF I SEE
HER COME INTO MY MOVIE I'M NOT GOING TO SAY YOU CAN'T SEE MY
MOVIE, BUT THAT'S NOT WHAT'S GOING ON NOW.
WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT POLITICAL DIFFERENCES.
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THOUSANDS OF CHILDREN BEING KIDNAPPED AND PUT
IN JAILS.
AND I DON'T KNOW IF YOU SAW THE SHOW HEADLINE TONIGHT BUT THEY
RULED TODDLERS MUST APPEAR IN THE IMMIGRATION COURTS ALONE,
THEY CANNOT HAVE AN ADVOCATE OR LAWYER OR ANYBODY WITH THEM.
THEY COULD BRING IN THE 3-YEAR-OLD, 4-YEAR-OLD AND
5-YEAR-OLD AND HAVE TO STAND ALONE IN THE DOCKET.
THIS IS INSANITY AND NOT WHO WE ARE, IS IT?!
NO!
>> Stephen: WHAT IS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THIS?
WE HAVE A GERRYMANDERED CONGRESS AND THEREFORE YOU END UP WITH A
GERRYMANDERED SUPREME COURT.
WHAT IS THE END GAME HERE?
BECAUSE YOU DON'T WANT TO END THIS IN VIOLENCE OR ANY SORT OF
REVOLUTIONARY CONFRONTATION, YOU WANT A POLITICAL CHANGE AT THE
END OF THIS.
DO YOU HAVE ANY HOPE FOR THAT?
BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO HOLD OUT HOPE FOR THAT.
YOU CAN'T ACTUALLY -- >> I COULDN'T COME ON THIS SHOW
HERE IF I DIDN'T HAVE HOPE.
LET ME ASK YOU -- ( APPLAUSE )
-- A PERSONAL QUESTION.
IS THAT OKAY?
>> Stephen: WE'LL FIND OUT.
I JUST WANT TO ASK YOU A PERSONAL QUESTION IF IT'S OKAY.
WHEN YOU READ THE PAPER EVERY DAY OR YOU WATCH THE NEWS, DO
YOU EVER CRY?
I MEAN, DO YOU EVER TEAR UP?
DOES THIS EVER HAPPEN TO YOU THESE DAYS?
>> Stephen: SURE, OF COURSE.
RIGHT, HAPPENS TO ME NOW EVERY DAY.
>> Stephen: IT WILL HAPPEN AS SOON AS THIS SHOW IS OVER AND I
FIND OUT MORE ABOUT THE SHOOTING IN IN ANNAPOLIS, I'M SURE IT
WILL HAPPEN AGAIN.
>> THAT HAS BECOME THE NORMAL.
>> Stephen: YES.
WHEN WE MADE "BOWLING FOR COLUMBINE," IT HADN'T HAPPENED
BEFORE AND WE MADE THE FILM HOPING IT WOULDN'T HAPPEN
ANYMORE.
IN DESPAIR IN MAKING THE MOVIES I'M WONDERING WHEN ARE PEOPLE
GOING TO GET OFF THE COUCH AND RISE UP.
THE END GAME, SADLY, TRUMP IS NOT GOING TO LEAVE, HE PLANS TO
BE REELECTED, HE LOVES THE TERM "PRESIDENT FOR LIFE."
THE ONLY WAY THAT WE'RE GOING TO STOP THIS IS EVENTUALLY WE'RE
ALL GOING TO HAVE TO PUT OUR BODIES ON THE LINE.
YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO BE WILLING TO DO THIS.
WHEN I SEE THOSE CHILDREN DOWN IN BROWNSVILLE I DON'T SEE THEM
AS SOMEBODY ELSE'S CHILDREN, I SEE THEM AS MY CHILDREN.
THESE ARE MY CHILDREN.
( APPLAUSE ) >> Stephen: YOU SAID YOU
DESPAIR.
>> I DESPAIR.
>> Stephen: BUT DESPAIR IS FOR THOSE WHO SEE ALL ENDS AND WE
DON'T KNOW.
>> AND I DO KNOW IF PEOPLE RISE UP, BECAUSE WHAT WOULD YOU DO
EACH OF YOU IN THE AUDIENCE, IF THEY SNATCHED YOUR CHILD FROM
YOU AND -- HOW WOULD YOU RESPOND TO THAT?
THAT'S HOW WE ALL HAVE TO START RESPONDING.
AND YOU SPEAK OF CHRISTIANITY, THIS SO-CALLED CHRISTIAN
COUNTRY, THE MAJORITY CHRISTIAN COUNTRY, IF WE START ACTING THE
WAY WE WERE TAUGHT IN CATHOLIC SCHOOL OR BIBLE SCHOOL, WHENEVER
YOU WENT, WE WILL HAVE A BETTER COUNTRY, BUT NOT UNTIL THEN.
AND I KEEP DOING THIS, STEPHEN, BECAUSE I THINK THERE IS A
CHANCE, BUT I DON'T WANT TO HOLD OUT FALSE HOPE ANYMORE.
LET ME JUST END WITH THIS POSITIVE NOTE THAT I BELIEVE
THAT -- I KNOW, IN FACT, THE FACTS.
IF I CAN CALL YOU "WE "-- .
>> Stephen: WE'LL SEE, DEPENDS ON WHAT YOU SAY.
>> IT'S GOING TO BE A NEW SUPREME COURT SO WE MAY NOT BE
ABLE TO BE A "WE."
>> Stephen: ALL RIGHT.
I'M JUST SAYING, THE MAJORITY OF AMERICANS ARE VERY LIBERAL.
THEY TAKE THE LIBERAL POSITION ON MOST ISSUES.
THEY BELIEVE WOMEN SHOULD BE PAID SAME AS MEN, THEY BELIEVE
THERE IS CLIMATE CHANGE, BUT DOWN THE LIST THEY DON'T BELIEVE
PEOPLE SHOULD BE THROWN IN JAIL FOR SMOKING MARIJUANA, DOWN THE
LIST, THE MAJORITY OF AMERICANS ARE LIBERAL AND WE THE DEMOCRATS
HAVE WON THE PRESIDENCY, POPULAR VOTE IN SIX OF THE LAST SEVEN
PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS, THE REPUBLICANS HAVE ONLY WON ONCE
SINCE 1988, IN 2004, WITH BUSH, THAT'S THE ONLY TIME THEY'VE WON
THE POPULAR VOTE!
THE COUNTRY WE LIVE IN DOESN'T WANT THE REPUBLICANS IN THE
WHITE HOUSE!
THEY DON'T WANT THEM RUNNING THIS COUNTRY!
WE'RE THE MAJORITY!
AND I DON'T KNOW, ON THAT POSITIVE NOTE --
>> Stephen: ELECTORAL COLLEGE.
GET RID OF IT, DEMOCRATS!
>> STEPHEN: "FAHRENHEIT 11/9" IS IN THEATERS SEPTEMBER 21.
MICHAEL MOORE, EVERYBODY!
WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK WITH ERIC ANDRE AND DERRICK BECKLES.
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE )
