00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:23,500
Welcome to rumble with Michael 
Moore. 

2
00:00:23,500 --> 00:00:27,000
And this is our special mini 
podcast series that we're doing 

3
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:31,900
here for 12 days from now. 
Until January 6, the series. 

4
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:36,900
Is is called blue dots in a red.
See how to win when you're blue 

5
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:43,000
in a red state in our first two 
episodes. 

6
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:47,000
We've already told you about all
the Democrats who've won in red 

7
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:50,500
districts, red areas, all across
the country last month in the 

8
00:00:50,500 --> 00:00:53,700
midterm elections. 
In episode 2, we talked about 

9
00:00:53,700 --> 00:00:56,900
how if you live in a red area or
you have family or friends that 

10
00:00:56,900 --> 00:00:59,900
live there, you're not alone. 
You are not alone. 

11
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:02,600
Even in the worst Trump. 
Districts. 

12
00:01:02,700 --> 00:01:04,900
Where he may have won. 70% of 
the vote. 

13
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:08,500
That still means thousands and 
thousands of Voters voted for 

14
00:01:08,500 --> 00:01:10,200
Biden. 
Their like-minded. 

15
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:15,000
People like-minded to you and 
all you have to do is find them,

16
00:01:15,100 --> 00:01:18,200
organize them, get together with
them and build from there. 

17
00:01:19,100 --> 00:01:23,600
Today's episode, number three is
called, they are more blue than 

18
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:28,100
you or they know. 
And that they I'm referring to 

19
00:01:28,100 --> 00:01:31,900
are your neighbors, thousands 
upon thousands of them. 

20
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:36,700
M in blue States and red States.
They are not registered as 

21
00:01:36,700 --> 00:01:40,100
Democrats. 
They are not members of the 

22
00:01:40,100 --> 00:01:43,400
democratic party. 
They have never Paid Dues to the

23
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:45,700
Democratic party. 
They've never written it 

24
00:01:45,700 --> 00:01:49,300
campaign contribution. 
Check to a single Democrat 

25
00:01:49,300 --> 00:01:53,700
running for office. 
In fact, the very idea of the 

26
00:01:53,900 --> 00:01:57,000
Democrats, too many of them 
repulses them. 

27
00:01:58,100 --> 00:02:00,200
They would never call themselves
a Democrat. 

28
00:02:00,700 --> 00:02:04,000
And if a polling company calls 
their phone and asks them, if 

29
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:08,500
they say approved you approve or
disapprove of the job President 

30
00:02:08,500 --> 00:02:13,300
Biden is doing, they mostly 
always will say, Mark me down is

31
00:02:13,300 --> 00:02:16,800
disapprove. 
But it's not because they're a 

32
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:19,400
Republican or a white 
supremacist. 

33
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:22,900
Just the opposite. 
It's because they are probably 

34
00:02:22,900 --> 00:02:26,500
in their soul. 
Old-school, Democrats and have 

35
00:02:26,500 --> 00:02:32,200
given up long ago after 30 years
of watching the Democratic party

36
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:38,600
cave in compromise become wimps.
And they believe that actually 

37
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:43,200
Biden hasn't gone far enough to 
support unions and working 

38
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:48,200
families and women and the like 
that's why they disapprove, they

39
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:50,400
disapprove because they believe 
Biden's gone back on his 

40
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:53,800
campaign promises. 
They believe is Chris Hedges 

41
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:57,500
pointed out this week that the 
Democrats are now the war party 

42
00:02:58,300 --> 00:03:02,200
increasing the defense budget 
increasing Homeland Security. 

43
00:03:03,300 --> 00:03:07,200
They think Biden should be 
cutting these things or spending

44
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:10,300
the money on things that will 
help the working and the poor 

45
00:03:10,300 --> 00:03:13,900
people of this country. 
They think Biden should be 

46
00:03:13,900 --> 00:03:15,800
forcing Putin to the peace 
table. 

47
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:19,300
Not giving billions born weapons
to Ukraine to keep the war 

48
00:03:19,300 --> 00:03:23,000
going. 
The entire pacifist Wing, the 

49
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:28,000
anti-war wing of liberal 
America, opposes Biden, And this

50
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:32,900
is what the media gets wrong. 
When the polls show that say 57%

51
00:03:32,900 --> 00:03:34,900
of Americans disapprove of 
Biden. 

52
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:40,600
The conclusion that the media 
draws is that, oh, that means 57

53
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:42,600
percent are going to vote for 
the Republicans. 

54
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:45,100
That's why they always get this 
wrong. 

55
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:49,500
Nothing could be further from 
the truth, the media and the 

56
00:03:49,500 --> 00:03:52,500
Democratic party. 
They want to believe that there 

57
00:03:52,500 --> 00:03:57,000
is no left in this country. 
They want you to believe. 

58
00:03:57,300 --> 00:04:01,700
There's no Progressive left. 
When Bernie won nearly half the 

59
00:04:01,700 --> 00:04:04,600
states in the 2016 Democratic 
primaries. 

60
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:08,800
They freaked out. 
And they went on a purge of the 

61
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:11,800
left. 
The left knew that Hillary 

62
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:14,200
couldn't win and they were 
right. 

63
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:19,300
So the Democratic party power 
structure decided to punish the 

64
00:04:19,300 --> 00:04:21,399
Bernie wing of the Democratic 
Party. 

65
00:04:22,900 --> 00:04:25,700
I'm not going to get into that, 
that's for another episode. 

66
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:30,600
But suffice it to say, I saw it 
upfront and personal, and then 

67
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:34,400
Hillary herself refused to go 
and campaign in states that 

68
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:38,600
Bernie won like Michigan. 
Why? 

69
00:04:40,100 --> 00:04:43,400
I mean seriously, sometimes it 
seems like the DNC hates the 

70
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:48,700
left more than it hates 
Republicans. and I think that's 

71
00:04:48,700 --> 00:04:52,100
because they know that we are 
the ones who are actually going 

72
00:04:52,100 --> 00:04:58,400
to eventually, fulfill the 
dreams of f.d.r. and JFK and 

73
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:05,000
Jesse Jackson and Shirley 
Chisholm So, when you hear Biden

74
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:09,900
has a 57 percent disapproval, 
just shave 20 points off that 

75
00:05:09,900 --> 00:05:14,600
right away because it's not 
Republicans, it's the left 20 

76
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:18,000
points of people who represent 
the left in this country who 

77
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:21,600
just want Biden to do the job 
that he was elected to do. 

78
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:26,700
And, you know, I've been very 
supportive of many of these 

79
00:05:26,700 --> 00:05:29,800
great things that Biden has won 
and succeeded in. 

80
00:05:30,700 --> 00:05:34,500
But I'm just want to be clear. 
When you understand, why we 

81
00:05:34,500 --> 00:05:38,000
having to reach out to people, 
who used to vote, and no longer 

82
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:43,900
Vote, or only vote occasionally.
Because they feel let down. 

83
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:46,900
By this party. 
That was supposed to be fighting

84
00:05:46,900 --> 00:05:51,100
for them. 
So let's get back to your 

85
00:05:51,100 --> 00:05:53,400
neighbors. 
Who would now? 

86
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:56,000
No longer ever be caught dead 
calling themselves. 

87
00:05:56,000 --> 00:06:00,100
A Democrat and yet and here's 
the spoiler alert. 

88
00:06:00,500 --> 00:06:06,100
Spoiler alert, I say this to all
of you blue dots out there 

89
00:06:06,100 --> 00:06:09,400
trying to survive in a sea of 
red that you live in. 

90
00:06:10,900 --> 00:06:15,000
And I'm telling you that much to
your surprise and much to their 

91
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:20,100
surprise many, many of your 
neighbors already agree with 

92
00:06:20,100 --> 00:06:24,000
you. 
They are already blue even if 

93
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:27,800
they don't know it. 
How do I know this? 

94
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:34,300
It's simple because they they 
want to breathe clean air. 

95
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:40,100
They want to drink clean water. 
They want safe, roads without 

96
00:06:40,100 --> 00:06:43,100
holes in them. 
They want the best schools for 

97
00:06:43,100 --> 00:06:46,900
their kids. 
They believe in the Golden Rule.

98
00:06:48,100 --> 00:06:53,000
They don't like bullies. 
The majority, don't own a gun 

99
00:06:53,700 --> 00:06:57,500
and they hate the fact that 
their five year olds are forced 

100
00:06:57,500 --> 00:07:02,900
to go through active shooter 
drills. they despise that the 

101
00:07:02,900 --> 00:07:06,900
government thinks it has a right
now to be in your consenting 

102
00:07:06,900 --> 00:07:13,400
adult bedroom and they'd really 
like to know why they are paying

103
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:17,200
record inflation. 
Prices during a time of record, 

104
00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:22,700
low unemployment record profits,
a recent rare increase in 

105
00:07:22,700 --> 00:07:26,100
workers wages, a robust stock 
market. 

106
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:31,100
And a time when the u.s. is now.
So energy self-sufficient, we no

107
00:07:31,100 --> 00:07:38,700
longer have to import hardly any
expensive overseas oil The 

108
00:07:38,700 --> 00:07:42,900
inflation were suffering from is
actually because there has been 

109
00:07:42,900 --> 00:07:48,500
an increase in corporate greed 
and how the rich have taken 

110
00:07:48,500 --> 00:07:54,000
advantage of this pandemic. 
Because I want to tell you about

111
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:57,700
Billy Bob. 
Billy Bob just found out from 

112
00:07:57,700 --> 00:08:01,300
his wife, Mary Sue Bob who just 
got home from the Piggly, Wiggly

113
00:08:01,300 --> 00:08:05,200
Supermarket, where she works the
cash register in aisle four. 

114
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:09,600
She just found out that Ricky 
Bob, who works the same exact 

115
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:12,200
job next to her in aisle? 
Five. 

116
00:08:13,300 --> 00:08:19,100
He's paid a dollar more per hour
than she is a dollar more than 

117
00:08:19,100 --> 00:08:20,600
Billy Bob's wife. 
Mary Sue. 

118
00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:26,100
Ricky Bob is making more money 
doing the same exact job. 

119
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:31,300
Well when Billy Bob just found 
this out he went ballistic and 

120
00:08:31,300 --> 00:08:36,299
within an hour unbeknownst to 
him he had become a raging 

121
00:08:36,299 --> 00:08:40,600
feminist. 
And he is now with Mary Sue on 

122
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:43,900
the phone, calling the other 
women at the store to organize a

123
00:08:43,908 --> 00:08:50,200
goddamn meeting. 
That my friends is how change 

124
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:54,300
happens. 
Not because of Party politics. 

125
00:08:55,000 --> 00:09:00,200
It's personal experience and 
obvious, unfairness and 

126
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:05,300
Injustice. 
Billy Bob instantly realizes 

127
00:09:05,500 --> 00:09:07,200
that his family is being 
cheated. 

128
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:14,000
Out of forty dollars a week only
because his wife is a woman and 

129
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:21,100
by being paid that $40 less each
week. well what could that forty

130
00:09:21,100 --> 00:09:25,200
dollars, go to That could mean 
they could go out on Saturday 

131
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:30,200
night, have a date with 
themselves or it's the cost of 

132
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:35,500
two kids backpacks for school. 
If you added up annually for 12 

133
00:09:35,500 --> 00:09:41,100
months of that, It's two months 
worth of rent payments because 

134
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:45,800
Billy Bob's wife makes a dollar 
less an hour than the man 

135
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:49,800
working next to her. 
That's what turns Billy. 

136
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:53,400
Bob blue. 
That's what makes him part of 

137
00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:57,900
the blue tsunami. 
But the Democratic party 

138
00:09:57,900 --> 00:10:02,500
apparatus still has never 
understood how to reach out to 

139
00:10:02,500 --> 00:10:06,000
the already. 
Existing blue voters that are, 

140
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:10,400
they're there for the taking, 
therefore for the grace of 

141
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:13,300
whatever. 
Like Billy Bob. 

142
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:19,800
That's why you wherever you are 
and especially in the red 

143
00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:23,900
states, you have to start your 
own Democratic party locally. 

144
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:29,200
And you may have to do it 
without the help of or in spite 

145
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:33,000
of the state Democrats or the 
federal Democrats, but that's 

146
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:34,400
okay. 
That's okay. 

147
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:37,700
You don't need them. 
They've written you off a long 

148
00:10:37,700 --> 00:10:41,000
time ago. 
You're in a red state, you live 

149
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:46,200
in Utah or Mississippi. 
We're not sending any organizers

150
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:52,400
or money down there except you'd
think to the Democrats 

151
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:55,700
Mississippi would be at the top 
of their list. 

152
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:59,000
It's the largest black state in 
the country. 

153
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:03,900
The highest percentage of the 
population that is black, is in 

154
00:11:03,900 --> 00:11:08,000
Mississippi. 
It's over 35%. 

155
00:11:11,100 --> 00:11:13,600
Because African Americans 
generally do vote for the 

156
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:17,800
Democrats, you think they'd be 
down there, trying to get every 

157
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:22,200
Democratic vote. 
They can get Or how about Texas?

158
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:25,400
You'd think that would be a 
democratic state by now. 

159
00:11:25,700 --> 00:11:27,500
You'd think they would be maybe 
after Mississippi. 

160
00:11:27,500 --> 00:11:29,700
They be number two on the list 
because it's the largest 

161
00:11:29,700 --> 00:11:35,600
Hispanic state in the country. 
But no, the Democrats now for 

162
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:38,300
too long. 
They've looked at this the wrong

163
00:11:38,300 --> 00:11:41,800
way there to stuck in their old 
patterns. 

164
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:46,600
Well, you know, that's a red 
state Don't send him any money. 

165
00:11:48,700 --> 00:11:51,900
So the Cavalry is never coming 
to the rescue if you live there.

166
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:57,400
So, stop waiting for them. 
You can turn it around. 

167
00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:02,200
And it's not just red States. 
The Bronx knew they'd been 

168
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:08,200
written off or taken for granted
for decades so they finally got 

169
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:14,200
fed up and voted for Alexandria.
Ocasio Cortez Ferguson. 

170
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:20,100
Missouri elected, Cory Bush, to 
Commerce, black, Detroit 

171
00:12:20,300 --> 00:12:22,700
elected. 
A radical palestinian-american 

172
00:12:23,100 --> 00:12:25,800
in a district that was less than
ten percent Muslim. 

173
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:29,100
They all serve in Congress 
though. 

174
00:12:30,900 --> 00:12:35,800
And with today's lesson here on 
this podcast, they are more blue

175
00:12:35,900 --> 00:12:38,300
than you, realize your 
neighbors. 

176
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:42,900
You can begin to see that. 
It's not just a simple as red 

177
00:12:42,900 --> 00:12:46,100
and blue. 
In fact as bad as you think you 

178
00:12:46,100 --> 00:12:49,000
have at living in a red State, 
those who live in blue areas, 

179
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:53,600
sometimes have to fight certain 
Democrats who've crossed over to

180
00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:55,800
where the money and the power 
is. 

181
00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:01,500
They forgotten their main job. 
This is a nationwide. 

182
00:13:01,500 --> 00:13:07,500
Struggle one though that we are 
winning and we will win. 

183
00:13:09,100 --> 00:13:11,400
So there's no crying in 
politics. 

184
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:14,000
You got stuck living in a deep 
red State. 

185
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:17,800
Suck it up and fight. 
The rest of us are here to join.

186
00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:22,100
You like we did last month in 
the red state of Nebraska where 

187
00:13:22,100 --> 00:13:25,100
the good people of America got 
behind the poor and the Working 

188
00:13:25,100 --> 00:13:29,100
Poor of Nebraska. 
And voted. 

189
00:13:29,100 --> 00:13:33,900
Yes, on a ballot proposal 
raising the minimum wage by over

190
00:13:33,900 --> 00:13:39,800
60% it passed because all those 
the brass guns who are derided 

191
00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:42,800
by us for being read. 
In backwards. 

192
00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:46,700
Well they just passed the bluest
of blue laws. 

193
00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:51,700
To give a massive pay raise to 
the lowest paid workers in their

194
00:13:51,700 --> 00:13:56,700
state that my friends is called 
an act of pure Democratic 

195
00:13:56,700 --> 00:14:03,800
socialism in a state, full of 
corn and rednecks rednecks, 

196
00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:05,200
really? 
Really? 

197
00:14:05,900 --> 00:14:08,200
Yeah, that's how you want to 
look at it. 

198
00:14:08,300 --> 00:14:11,900
Well as I said they are more 
blue. 

199
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:17,100
Then even, you know, and the 
sooner that we acknowledge that 

200
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:21,400
the sooner, we will turn red 
into blue. 

201
00:14:23,500 --> 00:14:26,400
Just ask our new feminist, Billy
Bob, 

202
00:14:41,300 --> 00:14:45,800
I'll be back tomorrow with our 
next mini podcast edition of 

203
00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:50,300
blue dots in a red. 
See how to win when you're blue 

204
00:14:51,100 --> 00:14:54,600
in a red state. 
Thanks for tuning in to this. 

205
00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:58,800
Please share this podcast with 
friends family that live in red 

206
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:01,900
States. 
If you live in a blue State you 

207
00:15:01,900 --> 00:15:05,400
have red parts of your state, 
trust me, you know, this this is

208
00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:08,000
work. 
We all need to do and we can do 

209
00:15:09,300 --> 00:15:12,400
so many Americans already agree 
with us. 

210
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:19,500
Let's make this Victory happen. 
We can make this happen in the 

211
00:15:19,500 --> 00:15:22,400
next election. 
I totally believe this. 

212
00:15:23,300 --> 00:15:25,300
We did something great in the 
midterms. 

213
00:15:25,300 --> 00:15:28,000
We could do it again here in two
years. 

214
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:33,800
My thanks to my producer and my 
editor, Angela of Argos. 

215
00:15:34,300 --> 00:15:37,500
And to all of you for 
participating in this blue 

216
00:15:37,500 --> 00:15:41,100
tsunami that we're going to keep
going here in the United States 

217
00:15:41,300 --> 00:15:43,300
of America. 
I'll see you tomorrow.
