1 00:00:00,840 --> 00:00:20,880 0123123 Yes 123 This is what I do before each Broadway show. 2 00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:24,360 So they they provide all these people for you. 3 00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:26,800 When you have a while, you're on Broadway. 4 00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:28,720 That's where I was. I was on Broadway made by 5 00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:34,180 Broadway. Debut in my 60s and and they so 6 00:00:34,180 --> 00:00:36,380 they you know they provide you with security. 7 00:00:36,380 --> 00:00:40,700 They give you a driver, pick you up at your apartment, make sure 8 00:00:40,700 --> 00:00:43,900 you're there on time. You get your dressing room, the 9 00:00:43,900 --> 00:00:48,620 dressing room has a nice comfortable couch or cot or you 10 00:00:48,620 --> 00:00:52,340 can take a little nap before you go out on stage. 11 00:00:53,260 --> 00:00:57,900 All these little perks but one is the voice instructor and. 12 00:00:58,860 --> 00:01:00,860 I said, well, what do I need a voice instructor for him? 13 00:01:00,900 --> 00:01:03,820 I'm not doing a musical. No, no, no, no. 14 00:01:03,820 --> 00:01:08,900 You're going to do 100 shows, and the goal is to not miss a 15 00:01:08,900 --> 00:01:12,180 single night. So how do you do 100 shows in a 16 00:01:12,180 --> 00:01:16,860 row and still have a voice after the 20th show? 17 00:01:17,900 --> 00:01:22,100 So I had this wonderful individual who taught me a few 18 00:01:22,100 --> 00:01:24,900 tricks. So the most important thing you 19 00:01:24,900 --> 00:01:31,780 can do to strengthen your voice. Preserve it is to do what we as 20 00:01:31,780 --> 00:01:35,180 humans kind of, I don't know, I guess naturally do. 21 00:01:35,460 --> 00:01:39,340 When we're in the shower, you just sing, you know, it's the 22 00:01:39,340 --> 00:01:42,460 safe space for all of us to sing because nobody can hear us, 23 00:01:42,700 --> 00:01:44,980 basically. And he said the best thing you 24 00:01:44,980 --> 00:01:47,940 can do is just sing for 10 minutes in the shower. 25 00:01:49,020 --> 00:01:51,260 I said, well, what do I sing? Whatever you want to sing, 26 00:01:51,340 --> 00:01:54,430 Whatever comes in your head. So I did that. 27 00:01:54,430 --> 00:01:55,350 I did. I did that. 28 00:01:55,350 --> 00:01:56,510 Everyone. And I think I would. 29 00:01:56,710 --> 00:01:59,430 I mean, I'm I'm probably prone to sing in the shower anyways, 30 00:01:59,510 --> 00:02:04,830 but I I would just start singing, you know, do a deer, a 31 00:02:04,830 --> 00:02:10,229 female deer ray, a drop of golden sun. 32 00:02:10,669 --> 00:02:14,070 Yeah, so that's my that's my Broadway intonation. 33 00:02:14,430 --> 00:02:23,390 Me, a name I call myself. Far a long, long way to run. 34 00:02:27,340 --> 00:02:30,380 And it seemed to work, because I never lost my voice. 35 00:02:31,500 --> 00:02:35,300 I never missed a single one of the hundred shows that I did in 36 00:02:35,300 --> 00:02:38,140 this limited run at the Belasco Theater. 37 00:02:38,700 --> 00:02:42,180 What was it? W 44th St. between Broadway and 38 00:02:42,180 --> 00:02:45,500 6th Ave. It was a great experience. 39 00:02:46,140 --> 00:02:51,260 I had a lot of fun and I didn't have to cancel a single show my 40 00:02:51,260 --> 00:02:53,340 last night on the way home, the driver said to me. 41 00:02:53,890 --> 00:02:58,090 Wow, this has been a great run. I think you might be the only 42 00:02:58,090 --> 00:03:03,010 person I've driven here in 20 some years that never took a 43 00:03:03,010 --> 00:03:05,850 night off, never missed a show, and didn't get sick. 44 00:03:07,570 --> 00:03:11,170 I said really? Wow, did I make a mistake? 45 00:03:12,170 --> 00:03:15,890 Maybe I should have taken a break, but I don't know. 46 00:03:16,010 --> 00:03:19,570 I had such a blast doing it. The crowds were great. 47 00:03:20,850 --> 00:03:23,690 I made-up things that we would just go do with the audience. 48 00:03:24,210 --> 00:03:26,770 I tell them at the end of the show here, I've got 4 double 49 00:03:26,770 --> 00:03:29,090 Decker buses sitting out on the street. 50 00:03:29,090 --> 00:03:30,930 Anybody wants to go over to Trump Tower with me? 51 00:03:31,610 --> 00:03:34,570 You're welcome. Come other nights, I would just 52 00:03:34,610 --> 00:03:36,770 make a deal with some of the food carts on the street. 53 00:03:37,250 --> 00:03:38,930 Say, hey, you know the hot dog cart. 54 00:03:39,130 --> 00:03:40,850 Can you be here? Like when my show is getting 55 00:03:40,850 --> 00:03:44,050 out, I want to give everybody who's come to the show a free 56 00:03:44,050 --> 00:03:46,170 hot dog. And I get in the cart with them 57 00:03:46,170 --> 00:03:49,010 and help make the hot dogs and people come out. 58 00:03:49,370 --> 00:03:53,170 Everybody got a free hot dog. I got to talk to the audience in 59 00:03:53,170 --> 00:03:54,930 that way. It's different. 60 00:03:55,730 --> 00:03:57,970 Called up Ben and Jerry's is hey, can you bring an ice cream 61 00:03:57,970 --> 00:04:00,370 card over? Geez, we did that three or four 62 00:04:00,370 --> 00:04:02,290 nights. I think during the 100 day run. 63 00:04:04,050 --> 00:04:06,650 I got to serve them up. It's a lot of fun. 64 00:04:07,570 --> 00:04:10,770 It's a great experience. I can't wait to do it again 65 00:04:10,770 --> 00:04:16,050 actually, but I just got a bunch of little things I want to talk 66 00:04:16,050 --> 00:04:20,170 to you about, so won't be long. I'm still on strike. 67 00:04:21,380 --> 00:04:23,980 Not from the podcast, not from my substack. 68 00:04:23,980 --> 00:04:25,940 But I'm a member of the Writers Guild. 69 00:04:26,500 --> 00:04:29,220 I'm a member of the Screen Actors Guild, SAG. 70 00:04:30,180 --> 00:04:31,620 I'm a member of the Director's Guild. 71 00:04:32,260 --> 00:04:34,420 But the Director's Guild is not on strike. 72 00:04:35,860 --> 00:04:40,500 So I'm I'm on a double strike from working on any film or 73 00:04:41,180 --> 00:04:44,740 television work, essentially. For whatever reason, there's an 74 00:04:44,740 --> 00:04:49,750 exemption right now if you. Are writing or acting in 75 00:04:49,750 --> 00:04:53,230 commercials, that's allowed. If you're on a soap opera, 76 00:04:53,230 --> 00:04:56,470 that's allowed. If you do reality TV, that's 77 00:04:56,470 --> 00:04:58,670 allowed. If you're in the news department 78 00:04:58,790 --> 00:05:02,030 and you're doing news or nonfiction, that's for the news 79 00:05:02,030 --> 00:05:05,830 department. That's allowed, But everything 80 00:05:05,830 --> 00:05:10,470 else is not. And vast, vast majority of the 81 00:05:10,470 --> 00:05:14,750 members, all of us in both unions, voted in favor of the 82 00:05:14,750 --> 00:05:18,240 strike. You know, just the chatter I'm 83 00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:21,720 hearing is that it's not going to be over for some time. 84 00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:25,480 So the studios and the networks are assume losing a lot of 85 00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:28,040 money. Writers and actors are not being 86 00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:30,280 paid. Now, of course, you know, the 87 00:05:30,280 --> 00:05:32,520 top actors there, don't worry about them. 88 00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:35,240 They'd be the first to tell you they're all in support of the 89 00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:37,600 strike. But they, you know, they make 90 00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:43,360 millions of dollars per movie or TV series or whatever, but it's 91 00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:46,380 for everybody else. There's so much writing that 92 00:05:46,380 --> 00:05:51,100 goes on in TV and in film, and of course there's all kinds of 93 00:05:51,100 --> 00:05:56,700 actors, not just the big stars, but people have just a few lines 94 00:05:57,100 --> 00:06:00,980 or they're in the TV drama and they they're on a one episode 95 00:06:00,980 --> 00:06:03,100 and they're there for only one day of filming. 96 00:06:04,220 --> 00:06:07,940 So the unions are just trying to create a balance here between 97 00:06:07,940 --> 00:06:12,900 the streamers and the old school studios and TV networks so that 98 00:06:12,900 --> 00:06:16,240 there's just some equity here. And so that they're covered. 99 00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:18,200 You know, these, they're really guilds. 100 00:06:18,280 --> 00:06:22,520 They're not really the kind of union I grew up with my family 101 00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:25,080 being UAW members, United Auto Workers. 102 00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:28,040 You know, if you're in Screen Actors Guild or the Writers 103 00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:31,480 Guild, the Directors Guild, they all have different rules and 104 00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:34,000 different ways They calculate when you're covered by the 105 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:37,440 health insurance and when you're not, what you get a pension for, 106 00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:38,920 what you don't get a pension for. 107 00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:42,240 When I was growing up with the auto Workers Union, it was just 108 00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:44,360 you're an auto worker and that's it, You're in the union. 109 00:06:45,330 --> 00:06:48,490 And you stay in the union. And then my, my father lived 110 00:06:48,490 --> 00:06:53,210 till almost 93 years old. He was able to retire after 30 111 00:06:53,210 --> 00:06:59,490 years and live the next 40 years of his life with his union 112 00:06:59,490 --> 00:07:02,650 pension and his union health insurance. 113 00:07:03,850 --> 00:07:09,810 They took care of all their workers in the guilds, the 114 00:07:09,890 --> 00:07:12,290 actors and the writers, directors, everybody. 115 00:07:12,850 --> 00:07:14,370 They're all trying to do the same thing. 116 00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:18,640 So right now I'd say it doesn't look very good. 117 00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:24,840 I think a lot of the senses within the unions, nobody's 118 00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:26,680 going to have a job for the rest of this year. 119 00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:30,680 So that's not good news. It's not good news for us. 120 00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:34,560 It's not good news for you. You're probably missing some of 121 00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:38,880 your favorite shows on TV. Some of the networks banked a 122 00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:42,440 number of episodes or new series or whatever there. 123 00:07:42,930 --> 00:07:46,090 Trying to get by with right now, but you know they're going to 124 00:07:46,090 --> 00:07:47,730 run out of the good stuff pretty soon. 125 00:07:48,210 --> 00:07:50,290 You're not going to have fall TV shows to watch. 126 00:07:52,410 --> 00:07:55,050 So that's the update on the the strikes. 127 00:07:55,810 --> 00:08:00,490 Speaking of auto workers, the UAW begins their negotiations 128 00:08:00,490 --> 00:08:04,090 for new contracts with General Motors and Ford and Chrysler. 129 00:08:04,410 --> 00:08:05,890 Chrysler, which is called something outside. 130 00:08:05,890 --> 00:08:08,610 I don't even understand what the name means. 131 00:08:09,690 --> 00:08:13,810 It's like Spectrum or Verizon. Where I don't know what those 132 00:08:13,810 --> 00:08:17,290 mean, but at least I know. I know Spectrum and Verizon. 133 00:08:17,290 --> 00:08:19,730 I don't know the new name for Chrysler. 134 00:08:19,810 --> 00:08:25,370 Still on to something like that. But I I want to take a minute 135 00:08:25,370 --> 00:08:28,330 here to thank my underwriters for today's episode. 136 00:08:28,850 --> 00:08:32,370 And then I'm going to come back and I'm going to just quickly go 137 00:08:32,370 --> 00:08:34,890 over a bunch of things with you regarding what's happening in 138 00:08:34,890 --> 00:08:38,250 Maui and what happened in Ohio this week. 139 00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:45,000 First up is Shopify.

You're starting to think this 187 00:11:48,090 --> 00:11:53,090 has been going on now for days and days and where is the 188 00:11:53,090 --> 00:11:55,810 Calvary? Where is the where is the aid? 189 00:11:55,810 --> 00:12:00,290 Where are the ships heading from the West Coast to Hawaii to help 190 00:12:00,290 --> 00:12:05,690 them what is going on? Look, I'm in the dark as much as 191 00:12:05,690 --> 00:12:09,740 you are about this, I. Watch TV and read the newspaper, 192 00:12:09,740 --> 00:12:12,100 but something doesn't seem right. 193 00:12:12,620 --> 00:12:17,260 Seems like a huge screw up from the beginning in terms of no 194 00:12:17,260 --> 00:12:21,340 sirens going off, no alerts going out to people, everybody 195 00:12:21,340 --> 00:12:25,060 trapped. As I'm recording this, there's 196 00:12:25,060 --> 00:12:29,860 over 100 now that have been killed and there's close to 1000 197 00:12:29,860 --> 00:12:34,260 people missing. Now granted, I'm sure the 198 00:12:34,260 --> 00:12:35,900 majority of them are missing because. 199 00:12:36,380 --> 00:12:39,540 Well, people can't find family and friends and loved ones 200 00:12:39,540 --> 00:12:43,260 because the cell towers are out, the electricity's out, It's 201 00:12:43,260 --> 00:12:45,780 impossible to communicate and find anybody. 202 00:12:46,620 --> 00:12:50,420 And so people are living in this horrific panic day after day 203 00:12:50,420 --> 00:12:54,060 after day, and it's, I just really feel for everybody out 204 00:12:54,060 --> 00:12:57,660 there in Maui. The reasons for this I've 205 00:12:57,660 --> 00:13:01,740 started to do some reading about this and decisions that have 206 00:13:01,740 --> 00:13:03,940 been made, environmental decisions that have been made 207 00:13:04,300 --> 00:13:06,980 again. I'm sorry I keep hounding on 208 00:13:06,980 --> 00:13:11,180 this, but where are our environmental leaders? 209 00:13:12,100 --> 00:13:14,140 Where are the environmentalists of old? 210 00:13:15,260 --> 00:13:20,420 You know, the hardcore fight for the planet, Save the whales? 211 00:13:21,420 --> 00:13:27,020 You know, they're now getting backing from hedge funds and and 212 00:13:27,020 --> 00:13:30,620 corporate America and Wall Street and everybody's green. 213 00:13:30,940 --> 00:13:34,970 Oh, look how green we are. You know, and if you just dig a 214 00:13:34,970 --> 00:13:37,010 little bit into this and, you know, I've talked about this 215 00:13:37,010 --> 00:13:41,250 before and you've read things I've written, and hopefully you 216 00:13:41,250 --> 00:13:45,410 saw Jeff Gibbs's film that I executive produced called Planet 217 00:13:45,410 --> 00:13:48,250 of the Humans. If you haven't watched this 218 00:13:48,250 --> 00:13:53,490 film, we have really screwed up on so many levels. 219 00:13:53,490 --> 00:14:00,290 What an awful summer this has been for this planet, and so 220 00:14:00,290 --> 00:14:03,640 much time has been lost. We're fighting fights that 221 00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:07,200 should have been fought and won 50 or 60 years ago. 222 00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:12,120 And yet we're still, we're still trying to get the same things. 223 00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:15,840 Can somebody get some more solar panels, put up some more 224 00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:18,760 windmills? We're so far beyond that in 225 00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:25,240 terms of us, the planet being saved, way beyond that. 226 00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:28,720 And yet every politician, now at least every, you know, 227 00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:32,330 Democratic politician but. Even some of the Republicans 228 00:14:32,330 --> 00:14:35,610 have figured out, Oh yeah, if I look green, if I sound green, I 229 00:14:35,610 --> 00:14:38,450 support green. That's what the people want, of 230 00:14:38,450 --> 00:14:39,730 course, it's what the people want. 231 00:14:39,970 --> 00:14:43,290 The vast majority of Americans want stronger environmental 232 00:14:43,290 --> 00:14:45,490 laws. They want, they want us to be 233 00:14:45,490 --> 00:14:49,170 moving forward to stop the onslaught that we're right in 234 00:14:49,170 --> 00:14:52,850 the middle of the Paris Accords. You know, we want to get the 235 00:14:52,850 --> 00:14:57,970 stuff fixed by 20502050. It's 2023 and we're already in 236 00:14:57,970 --> 00:15:00,670 collapse. And yet you still have our 237 00:15:00,670 --> 00:15:03,750 environmental leaders out there as they're now like paid 238 00:15:03,750 --> 00:15:08,950 spokespeople for various industries that are trying to 239 00:15:08,950 --> 00:15:12,310 make money off the so-called green technology. 240 00:15:12,950 --> 00:15:15,550 And you see that some of the largest investors in this green 241 00:15:15,550 --> 00:15:17,990 technology are the oil and gas companies. 242 00:15:18,430 --> 00:15:20,430 I mean because they know their time is up eventually. 243 00:15:20,470 --> 00:15:23,750 They ask fossil fuels the reason why they're called fossil fuels 244 00:15:23,750 --> 00:15:27,510 is they're they're from fossils from long ago. 245 00:15:28,470 --> 00:15:33,830 And we can only drain so much of the energy we need from that. 246 00:15:34,150 --> 00:15:35,430 We've known that for a long time. 247 00:15:35,430 --> 00:15:37,070 The oil and gas companies have known that. 248 00:15:38,110 --> 00:15:39,830 And so they try to get on the bandwagon. 249 00:15:39,830 --> 00:15:43,070 They try to get the federal money or the federal tax breaks 250 00:15:43,070 --> 00:15:48,230 or carbon offsets, all this crap that is not going to save us. 251 00:15:48,750 --> 00:15:53,270 And smart people know this. Great environmental writers and 252 00:15:53,270 --> 00:15:56,230 researchers, investigative reporters, have been telling us 253 00:15:56,230 --> 00:16:01,830 now these things for years. And for some reason, we're not 254 00:16:01,830 --> 00:16:05,830 listening to them or we're getting distracted by the things 255 00:16:05,830 --> 00:16:07,470 that are. Yes, they're good things to do. 256 00:16:07,470 --> 00:16:09,910 We should all do them, but we should have done them in the 257 00:16:09,910 --> 00:16:17,030 1970s, not the twenty 20s. And Maui? 258 00:16:18,030 --> 00:16:21,750 Oh my God. Apparently the Fire Chief for 259 00:16:21,750 --> 00:16:24,710 Maui wasn't there on the day that started. 260 00:16:24,710 --> 00:16:28,010 And the day after. The head of their emergency 261 00:16:28,170 --> 00:16:30,850 whatever that state office. Every state has what emergency 262 00:16:30,850 --> 00:16:37,690 manager and not there for some reason a lot of questions are 263 00:16:37,690 --> 00:16:39,730 being asked. A lot of people in Maui are very 264 00:16:39,730 --> 00:16:47,930 upset and they were left to die. And the rescue response from the 265 00:16:47,930 --> 00:16:51,250 rest of us, the Americans, you know, they're Americans too, you 266 00:16:51,250 --> 00:16:55,520 know, and they're like. Why are we being treated like 267 00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:57,720 Puerto Rico? Oh, wait a minute. 268 00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:01,320 Puerto Ricans are Americans too? Yeah, but yeah, but they're not 269 00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:04,680 a state, right? Hawaii is a state. 270 00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:10,040 But this is all part of the bullshit, because you can look 271 00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:14,440 at any place in America that needs help, and the help doesn't 272 00:17:14,839 --> 00:17:20,560 arrive. I've only been to Maui once. 273 00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:23,000 Wow. Beautiful place. 274 00:17:23,430 --> 00:17:27,510 Wonderful people. But it is a very it's not what 275 00:17:27,510 --> 00:17:33,510 you think it is this island. And I can't speak for the other 276 00:17:33,510 --> 00:17:37,470 Hawaiian islands because I haven't I I've been to Oahu, 277 00:17:37,990 --> 00:17:43,670 that's it. But Maui, there's like, I don't 278 00:17:43,670 --> 00:17:46,070 know. I mean, I, it seemed like there 279 00:17:46,070 --> 00:17:50,430 were like two or three highways that were paved and I was there 280 00:17:50,430 --> 00:17:56,010 and what was that, 20? 13 I mean it was it was mostly 281 00:17:56,330 --> 00:18:00,290 dirt roads, dirt paths. It's jungle. 282 00:18:00,290 --> 00:18:03,290 It's mountains. I mean real jungle, real 283 00:18:03,290 --> 00:18:09,090 jungles, real mountains. And driving on this Mountain Rd. 284 00:18:09,410 --> 00:18:12,650 which was really just going around in circles with the the 285 00:18:12,650 --> 00:18:18,010 car almost hanging off the edge. I guess they're probably used to 286 00:18:18,010 --> 00:18:22,480 driving if you live there. But as someone not from there, 287 00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:27,720 it was pretty scary, frankly. But it was, you know, it was a 288 00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:31,160 wonderful time and again, like I said, the people, the food, 289 00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:33,080 everything. It's wonderful. 290 00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:39,160 But I could see how there's like in terms of ingress and egress 291 00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:43,560 in and out. There's not a lot of choices if 292 00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:48,000 you're trying to run from a fire watching people jump into the 293 00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:51,340 ocean. Just so that they wouldn't catch 294 00:18:51,340 --> 00:18:53,580 on fire. Wow. 295 00:18:56,180 --> 00:18:58,580 And apparently nobody in charge thought this out. 296 00:19:00,860 --> 00:19:03,620 People have been taking boats from the other islands in in the 297 00:19:03,620 --> 00:19:07,020 Hawaiian islands. You know, just grabbing boats 298 00:19:07,020 --> 00:19:11,460 and volunteers and food and water and and just trying to 299 00:19:11,460 --> 00:19:14,180 make their way to Maui to help them out. 300 00:19:17,780 --> 00:19:21,570 People in Maui. We're saying tonight that the 301 00:19:21,570 --> 00:19:28,490 help from the government has been next to nothing but the 302 00:19:28,490 --> 00:19:30,850 volunteers that have come from other parts of the state, 303 00:19:32,050 --> 00:19:35,850 They're very grateful, but they have literally lost everything. 304 00:19:37,170 --> 00:19:41,810 I mean, whole areas, villages, towns are just in hashes. 305 00:19:44,010 --> 00:19:46,970 They're going to find a lot more than 100 dead people, That's 306 00:19:46,970 --> 00:19:51,320 what they're saying. The bodies are charred. 307 00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:54,360 The bodies themselves have turned to ash. 308 00:19:57,400 --> 00:20:03,560 It's the worst wildfire disaster in the last 100 years for all 50 309 00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:09,760 states in this country. And again, everything just seems 310 00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:13,440 very slow to move. No sense of urgency. 311 00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:17,160 Nobody in charge. Nobody had a plan. 312 00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:26,560 Well, you know, there's various places you can go online. 313 00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:32,680 Just, you know, type in help for Maui and if you can help, please 314 00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:36,720 do. But I think we should also let 315 00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:40,240 our elected representatives know that we, we who don't live in 316 00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:45,480 Hawaii, expect massive help immediately right now. 317 00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:53,520 Not another day to be wasted. Won't take much of our time to 318 00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:58,000 make a phone call or two to drop an e-mail to an elected 319 00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:03,600 representative in Congress and demand that this receive 320 00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:09,520 immediate attention. And someone from a a city in 321 00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:15,320 Michigan where the governor allowed the water to be poisoned 322 00:21:16,070 --> 00:21:19,230 and did nothing about it for a very long time. 323 00:21:20,870 --> 00:21:22,750 Help didn't come for a long time. 324 00:21:22,750 --> 00:21:25,630 And then when the help came, it wasn't enough and it still isn't 325 00:21:25,630 --> 00:21:29,790 enough and people still are not drinking the water in Flint. 326 00:21:32,990 --> 00:21:38,870 So I've seen what this country will allow to have happen to an 327 00:21:38,870 --> 00:21:42,750 important city. A city where the the American 328 00:21:42,750 --> 00:21:47,260 car was born. The hometown of General Motors, 329 00:21:49,220 --> 00:21:52,540 where the middle class was created thanks to the unions, 330 00:21:53,220 --> 00:21:57,140 thanks to the unions fighting and creating unions before they 331 00:21:57,140 --> 00:22:01,300 didn't even exist. So that people would be paid a 332 00:22:01,300 --> 00:22:06,340 decent wage, where they would have job security, where they 333 00:22:06,340 --> 00:22:09,380 would have healthcare. All of that, thanks to the 334 00:22:09,380 --> 00:22:16,340 unions and then everybody followed along after Flint in 335 00:22:16,340 --> 00:22:22,500 the 1930s, after our strike was successful, Hundreds of strikes 336 00:22:22,500 --> 00:22:28,180 across the whole country over the next few years to unionize, 337 00:22:28,780 --> 00:22:37,740 to get a fair shake. But when Flint was poisoned, I 338 00:22:37,740 --> 00:22:42,900 know everybody felt bad. I know a lot of people donated 339 00:22:43,900 --> 00:22:49,220 tons of bottles of water, which doesn't fix the situation. 340 00:22:50,180 --> 00:22:56,300 The average American needs uses 80 gallons of water a day for 341 00:22:56,300 --> 00:22:58,220 all all the reasons we use water. 342 00:22:59,500 --> 00:23:02,780 And there's no amount of plastic water bottles could be shipped 343 00:23:02,780 --> 00:23:07,060 to Flint to so that people could do their laundry or take a 344 00:23:07,060 --> 00:23:15,030 shower or take care of their dogs and cats and everything 345 00:23:15,030 --> 00:23:20,350 else that uses water. So I know how, I know in a way 346 00:23:20,350 --> 00:23:23,750 what the people of Maui are feeling like right now and and 347 00:23:23,750 --> 00:23:34,350 I'm sure they're hoping that the cavalry is coming, but well, 348 00:23:35,390 --> 00:23:38,080 we'll see. That's why all the rest of us 349 00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:42,600 have a responsibility to demand action now and to give what we 350 00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:45,760 can to those agencies that will really get the money and the 351 00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:47,640 help through to the people there. 352 00:23:51,360 --> 00:23:56,800 Oh, just a few other things here that I want to talk to you 353 00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:59,720 about. I know this is kind of a sad way 354 00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:04,720 to start things here today, but we did get some good news from 355 00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:10,140 Ohio this week. Very rare for a Michigander to 356 00:24:11,020 --> 00:24:20,860 say there's good news from Ohio. But but last Tuesday, the 357 00:24:20,860 --> 00:24:25,500 Republicans in Ohio were trying to rig the vote for this 358 00:24:25,500 --> 00:24:30,140 November's election because on the ballot in November there is 359 00:24:30,220 --> 00:24:36,480 a ballot proposal to make abortion legal and they're going 360 00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:38,960 to put it in the Ohio State constitution. 361 00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:45,400 And this freaked all the crazies out, all the religious fanatics 362 00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:49,240 who believe a fertilized egg is a is a human being. 363 00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:54,960 And so they wanted to change the rules before the November 364 00:24:54,960 --> 00:25:01,280 election so that when the majority of Ohioans vote to make 365 00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:04,720 abortion legal, which is what they're going to do, every poll 366 00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:09,750 shows that upwards to close to 60% of people in Ohio want 367 00:25:10,030 --> 00:25:13,910 abortion legal and in the state constitution. 368 00:25:14,510 --> 00:25:16,870 So that appears what's that's what's going to happen in 369 00:25:16,870 --> 00:25:19,070 November. So to prevent that from 370 00:25:19,070 --> 00:25:23,830 happening they wanted to pass a new law by setting up a special 371 00:25:23,830 --> 00:25:26,310 election in the middle of the summer in August. 372 00:25:27,910 --> 00:25:31,430 This law was going to, if it passed last week, was going to 373 00:25:31,430 --> 00:25:35,940 require that nothing could get into the state constitution 374 00:25:35,940 --> 00:25:39,380 unless they had 60% of the people voting for it. 375 00:25:41,540 --> 00:25:49,180 And the turnout last week was about as large as it is in the 376 00:25:49,180 --> 00:25:51,820 midterm election. In the off year election in like 377 00:25:51,820 --> 00:25:58,700 it was last year in 2022 that many people showed up for a a a 378 00:25:58,860 --> 00:26:02,900 off off year election for a special ballot proposal. 379 00:26:04,060 --> 00:26:10,900 The polls were packed and the result The right wingers were 380 00:26:10,900 --> 00:26:14,940 sent packing. The majority of people in Ohio 381 00:26:14,940 --> 00:26:24,100 voted 57% to stop them from saying that the new majority in 382 00:26:24,100 --> 00:26:28,140 order to put something in the constitution is 60% of the votes 383 00:26:28,140 --> 00:26:33,660 instead of 50 that lost. It's going to stay 5050% + 1 384 00:26:33,660 --> 00:26:38,540 vote. It's 57% of people in Ohio. 385 00:26:39,340 --> 00:26:42,860 That means a number of Republicans showed up to vote in 386 00:26:42,860 --> 00:26:48,140 the middle of August to say no, you're not going to change the 387 00:26:48,140 --> 00:26:52,260 rules like this. And you're not going to endorse 388 00:26:52,260 --> 00:26:56,700 what the Supreme Court did last summer by taking women's rights 389 00:26:56,860 --> 00:27:06,070 away from them. 57% in favor of not changing the law and 390 00:27:06,670 --> 00:27:14,430 therefore supporting abortion being legal, which will be 391 00:27:14,430 --> 00:27:20,150 officially decided at the November election. 57% for that, 392 00:27:20,310 --> 00:27:27,430 43% in favor of the Christian Right cuckoo campaign that still 393 00:27:27,430 --> 00:27:31,470 exists so that the government controls the reproductive rights 394 00:27:31,470 --> 00:27:42,710 of women. 57 to 43, That's a 14% difference. 14% landslide in 395 00:27:42,710 --> 00:27:46,910 favor of women, in favor of science, in favor of democracy 396 00:27:48,950 --> 00:28:07,540 in a state known as Ohio. OH, I OOHIO Wow. 397 00:28:09,380 --> 00:28:12,060 There's your good news for the week, my friends. 398 00:28:13,300 --> 00:28:17,580 And that's what the Republicans have in front of them for next 399 00:28:17,580 --> 00:28:21,100 year's presidential election. And This is why I will keep 400 00:28:21,100 --> 00:28:25,940 saying that if we do our work and if we get out the vote and 401 00:28:25,940 --> 00:28:32,810 if we show up ourselves, they are not going to be in charge. 402 00:28:34,050 --> 00:28:35,650 They're not going to get the White House back. 403 00:28:37,930 --> 00:28:42,770 And we're going to get the House back in our hands. 404 00:28:45,010 --> 00:28:48,730 And we're going to keep the Senate and we're going to start 405 00:28:48,730 --> 00:28:50,170 doing the things that we should be doing. 406 00:28:50,170 --> 00:28:53,730 And the Democrats are going to have to do what the people want 407 00:28:53,730 --> 00:28:59,190 them to do, not be a bunch of namby pamby. 408 00:28:59,950 --> 00:29:01,870 I don't know. We don't want to upset too many 409 00:29:01,870 --> 00:29:06,270 people. Yeah, well, we're upset. 410 00:29:07,150 --> 00:29:10,750 We, the people have been upset. We're the majority, The majority 411 00:29:10,910 --> 00:29:15,110 who believe in women's rights, The majority who believe we 412 00:29:15,190 --> 00:29:19,750 don't have enough gun control laws, The majority who believe 413 00:29:19,750 --> 00:29:23,190 that the extinction crisis that we're in the middle of on this 414 00:29:23,190 --> 00:29:27,030 planet is real. We are the majority go down any 415 00:29:27,030 --> 00:29:30,390 one of the issues. The majority agree with me and 416 00:29:30,390 --> 00:29:33,390 you and people listening to this, and if you don't agree 417 00:29:33,390 --> 00:29:36,910 with me or you that get on board. 418 00:29:39,230 --> 00:29:44,550 History is happening right now, and this is some heavy stuff by 419 00:29:44,550 --> 00:29:50,710 friends, but if we do our job, if we get the right candidates 420 00:29:50,710 --> 00:29:56,030 running and we get out the vote, the bad guys are not going to be 421 00:29:56,030 --> 00:30:01,110 running the show any longer. And we have one sign after 422 00:30:01,110 --> 00:30:05,350 another showing us that the people are voting on our side. 423 00:30:06,070 --> 00:30:08,430 I mean, when you think about this, over the last year since 424 00:30:08,430 --> 00:30:13,350 the Supreme Court got rid of Roe V Wade, states like Kentucky, 425 00:30:13,910 --> 00:30:22,910 Montana, Michigan, and others have voted in favor of abortion 426 00:30:22,910 --> 00:30:28,520 being legal. You should be buoyed by this. 427 00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:32,320 The American people have changed. 428 00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:40,000 Or more likely, each year 4,000,017 year olds turn 18. 429 00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:44,240 And the younger generation, they don't go for this shit anymore. 430 00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:49,120 Pumpkin on people, on their rights, taking the rights away, 431 00:30:49,120 --> 00:30:50,840 All of that. No. 432 00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:54,700 We've raised a couple of generations of young people that 433 00:30:55,060 --> 00:31:00,820 know what's what when it comes to this planet, when it comes to 434 00:31:01,300 --> 00:31:05,940 bigotry and misogyny and white supremacy and everything else. 435 00:31:07,220 --> 00:31:13,860 And these kids, 4 million every year, 4,000,017 year olds turn 436 00:31:13,860 --> 00:31:20,420 18 and about an about another 4 million, sadly, of elderly 437 00:31:20,420 --> 00:31:25,280 people pass away the largest demographic for the Republican 438 00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:29,240 Party over 65 years old, and we want them to live as long as 439 00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:31,320 possible. Don't don't hear me wrong here, 440 00:31:31,840 --> 00:31:34,200 but I'm just stating what the demographic facts are. 441 00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:40,720 You think about this since Obama was elected by a record turnout 442 00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:44,800 of young people. You know, again, I'll I'll just 443 00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:49,480 give you this fact. Obama only won one white 444 00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:53,840 demographic, only one group of white people, and that was young 445 00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:59,840 white people 18 to 35. He won it with a huge majority 446 00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:06,760 and that put him over the top young people. 447 00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:15,160 And since 2008, you've heard me say this before, 2008 was what, 448 00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:19,840 15 years ago? So that's 4 million new voters 449 00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:25,230 every year that turn 18. And so 4 * 50. 450 00:32:25,430 --> 00:32:33,350 That is 60 million young people that have become voters now. 451 00:32:33,430 --> 00:32:35,630 Yes, all of them don't vote most Americans. 452 00:32:35,630 --> 00:32:38,070 A lot of elections don't vote at all. 453 00:32:39,350 --> 00:32:44,150 And yes, historically, young people vote at a lesser rate. 454 00:32:44,550 --> 00:32:48,710 But that has been changing every election since Obama's election. 455 00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:52,480 It gets better and better and better and more and more and 456 00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:54,520 more young people show up to vote. 457 00:32:55,560 --> 00:32:59,600 There are 60 million in just 15 years. 458 00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:03,960 So in other words, they're all, they're all between the ages of 459 00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:14,360 18, and 3360 million came a voting age in this time period. 460 00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:18,000 And you can see what they've done and what they continue to 461 00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:21,380 do. And the only way the Republicans 462 00:33:21,380 --> 00:33:24,740 can win is through gerrymandering, through racism, 463 00:33:25,660 --> 00:33:28,980 through trying to stifle the vote, oppress the vote, suppress 464 00:33:28,980 --> 00:33:31,460 it. That's the only way now they can 465 00:33:31,460 --> 00:33:34,940 pull off some of the the few victories they get to have Now. 466 00:33:35,340 --> 00:33:36,820 They know their days are numbered. 467 00:33:38,740 --> 00:33:41,380 They know the demographics, too. They're not all stupid. 468 00:33:42,300 --> 00:33:45,460 They know that sometime in the in the twenty 30s or early 469 00:33:45,460 --> 00:33:49,260 twenty 40s, the majority of this country will not be white. 470 00:33:52,840 --> 00:33:55,440 Let's think about that. I mean, already there's a number 471 00:33:55,440 --> 00:34:00,080 of states that are not white majority states, starting with, 472 00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:11,679 of all places, Texas, Texas, 60% of Texas is not white, 60%. 473 00:34:12,600 --> 00:34:19,270 That means 60% of Texas is Hispanic, black, Native 474 00:34:19,270 --> 00:34:24,790 American, Asian. That's the majority of Texas. 475 00:34:24,790 --> 00:34:30,070 Now 40%. Just 40% of Texas is white. 476 00:34:32,150 --> 00:34:37,150 And there are similar stories and demographics that have 477 00:34:37,150 --> 00:34:45,550 already happened in California, New Mexico, Hawaii. 478 00:34:48,449 --> 00:34:51,050 I think we have about 1/2 a dozen states that are considered 479 00:34:51,050 --> 00:34:55,370 the not white majority states. And every year it seems like 480 00:34:55,370 --> 00:34:57,450 another state or two gets added to that. 481 00:34:59,250 --> 00:35:00,730 And that's the way it's going to be. 482 00:35:01,810 --> 00:35:05,650 And they know the only way the the party of white people, the 483 00:35:05,650 --> 00:35:10,010 white privilege white supremacy party, they still call 484 00:35:10,010 --> 00:35:14,610 themselves Republicans. It's the only way they can win, 485 00:35:15,170 --> 00:35:17,810 redraw the maps, gerrymander, the vote. 486 00:35:21,620 --> 00:35:25,020 And if that's really all you've got in your bag of tricks, it's 487 00:35:25,020 --> 00:35:31,980 not going to last. So very hopeful news from Ohio 488 00:35:32,060 --> 00:35:37,860 this week, what seems to be what we're told is a deep RedState. 489 00:35:38,900 --> 00:35:41,420 But you know, if the Democrats got busy and if they really ran 490 00:35:41,420 --> 00:35:46,840 the right candidates recruited the right people that are going 491 00:35:46,840 --> 00:35:50,280 to fight for the people, they'd win more elections. 492 00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:58,200 Stop sending me emails telling me I've got to give $10 by 493 00:35:58,200 --> 00:36:03,440 midnight tonight. Oh man, when does the stop 494 00:36:04,600 --> 00:36:05,560 these? You know I'm talking about, 495 00:36:05,560 --> 00:36:07,720 right? The candidates emails, Democrats 496 00:36:08,520 --> 00:36:11,600 telling us how they're going to lose, how awful it is. 497 00:36:12,520 --> 00:36:14,560 The polls show the Republicans way ahead. 498 00:36:15,340 --> 00:36:18,340 Why are they trying to instill this kind of fear while I know 499 00:36:18,340 --> 00:36:21,420 why they want to raise money? Because we have an election 500 00:36:21,420 --> 00:36:25,020 system based on having to raise 10s of millions of dollars. 501 00:36:27,340 --> 00:36:30,100 We need to vote for people that are going to change that going 502 00:36:30,100 --> 00:36:36,540 to end that system and a system where 50 votes plus one is the 503 00:36:36,540 --> 00:36:41,740 majority. All right, I want to wrap it up 504 00:36:41,740 --> 00:36:45,800 here. I just wanted to just point out 505 00:36:45,800 --> 00:36:49,560 a couple of other things here. I didn't get to Hunter Biden. 506 00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:53,880 I can't believe this is still on the news and another awful week 507 00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:59,440 for the Biden family here, but we'll talk about that next week. 508 00:37:00,560 --> 00:37:03,440 We're all sitting on pins and needles waiting to see what the 509 00:37:04,160 --> 00:37:07,320 District Attorney is going to do in Fulton County, Georgia this 510 00:37:07,320 --> 00:37:09,960 week. Doesn't look good for Trump. 511 00:37:10,480 --> 00:37:16,230 I'll say that. So the 4th indictment coming up, 512 00:37:17,950 --> 00:37:22,230 Get ready Donald, what is your strategy here? 513 00:37:24,790 --> 00:37:28,750 I wrote a sub stack about this last week if you have a chance 514 00:37:28,750 --> 00:37:29,910 to read. If you haven't read it, I'll 515 00:37:30,230 --> 00:37:37,470 I'll put a link here to it. And finally, I'm going to write 516 00:37:37,470 --> 00:37:40,950 something about this at some point here, but one of the best 517 00:37:40,950 --> 00:37:45,050 films I've seen in the last number of years is Barbie. 518 00:37:45,570 --> 00:37:47,930 I know folks, some of you have not seen it yet. 519 00:37:47,930 --> 00:37:49,930 You're thinking this is some movie about a doll. 520 00:37:50,370 --> 00:37:57,530 It is not a movie about a doll. This is one of the funniest, one 521 00:37:57,530 --> 00:38:02,090 of the best satires I I think has ever been made. 522 00:38:04,050 --> 00:38:07,410 And I'm certain you'll agree if you go see this movie, what this 523 00:38:07,570 --> 00:38:12,290 movie has to say about us, our society, about capitalism, about 524 00:38:12,290 --> 00:38:17,310 fascism, about corporate America and yes, the patriarchy. 525 00:38:18,910 --> 00:38:20,670 You know why, it's still a patriarchy though. 526 00:38:20,870 --> 00:38:23,430 Sorry guys, I got to talk to you for just a few minutes here. 527 00:38:24,270 --> 00:38:25,790 Mike, why are you talking about this? 528 00:38:26,430 --> 00:38:33,670 Because it's still a patriarchy. It's a gender apartheid. 529 00:38:34,990 --> 00:38:39,950 The majority gender. Women, who are 51 or 52% of the 530 00:38:39,950 --> 00:38:43,890 population, have a minority of the power. 531 00:38:44,530 --> 00:38:50,490 They don't hold the majority of the power. 29% of Congress are 532 00:38:50,490 --> 00:38:57,050 women, 71% are men. Men make up 48 or 49% of the 533 00:38:57,050 --> 00:38:58,970 population. Or the minority gender. 534 00:38:59,930 --> 00:39:04,930 When the minority controls the majority, what do we call it 535 00:39:04,930 --> 00:39:07,970 folks? What do you call a country where 536 00:39:07,970 --> 00:39:15,110 the minority race is in charge of the majority race, calls all 537 00:39:15,110 --> 00:39:22,590 the shots, owns all the wealth, holds the vast majority of seats 538 00:39:23,350 --> 00:39:29,150 when they shouldn't? It's called apartheid, and this 539 00:39:29,150 --> 00:39:35,390 is gender apartheid. And yes, it took a movie using a 540 00:39:35,390 --> 00:39:39,390 bunch of dolls to tell this story. 541 00:39:40,860 --> 00:39:42,540 A story that we're still struggling with. 542 00:39:44,500 --> 00:39:49,660 A story where 14 months ago, a male dominated Supreme Court 543 00:39:51,660 --> 00:39:56,100 said they would now from now on be in charge of what women can 544 00:39:56,100 --> 00:40:01,500 do with their bodies. And until we fix that, my 545 00:40:01,500 --> 00:40:04,700 friends, it's so fundamental, isn't it? 546 00:40:05,660 --> 00:40:08,580 Go see this movie. So I swear to just if all you 547 00:40:08,580 --> 00:40:10,180 need is a great laugh this summer. 548 00:40:10,990 --> 00:40:13,950 Go for that reason. But you're going to, you're 549 00:40:13,950 --> 00:40:19,830 going to get hit with so many other bonuses watching this film 550 00:40:20,910 --> 00:40:24,230 and dies. Yes, Go and take your sons. 551 00:40:26,710 --> 00:40:31,230 This film has a great message. Thank you Greta Gerwig for 552 00:40:31,230 --> 00:40:34,630 cowriting and directing this incredible movie. 553 00:40:35,910 --> 00:40:37,790 And I'll have more to say about this. 554 00:40:38,380 --> 00:40:39,460 Yeah. I just, I don't want to give a 555 00:40:39,460 --> 00:40:42,700 lot of spoiler alerts, but I think a lot of you have seen it 556 00:40:42,700 --> 00:40:44,380 by now. And the rest of you should try 557 00:40:44,380 --> 00:40:46,180 to see in the next couple of weeks because I'm going to. 558 00:40:46,180 --> 00:40:51,580 I'm going to spoil it all. OK, my friends, thank you for 559 00:40:51,580 --> 00:40:54,740 listening to me today. Let's not forget about the 560 00:40:54,740 --> 00:40:57,700 people in Maui. Let's thank the people of Ohio 561 00:40:58,100 --> 00:41:01,900 for what they did this week. And let's get busy. 562 00:41:02,860 --> 00:41:06,820 Get busy to get busy because we've got a hell of a year ahead 563 00:41:06,820 --> 00:41:10,480 of us here. I'd like to thank my executive 564 00:41:10,480 --> 00:41:13,360 producer, Angela Vargo.

I'm Michael Moore, and this is. 568 00:41:24,640 --> 00:41:32,040 Rumble Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens. 569 00:41:32,800 --> 00:41:35,960 La La La La la. I don't know this song. 570 00:41:37,070 --> 00:41:43,390 These are a few. Of my favorite things, when the 571 00:41:43,390 --> 00:41:52,990 dog bites, when the bee stings, when I'm feeling sad, I simply 572 00:41:52,990 --> 00:42:02,950 remember my favorite things. And then I don't feel so bad. 573 00:42:07,070 --> 00:42:08,870 My apologies, everyone. Thanks. 574 00:42:09,670 --> 00:42:10,550 Talk to you next week.
