1
00:00:03,480 --> 00:00:11,600
The people want peace. 
That is thoroughly and utterly 

2
00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:17,200
clear. 
They've seen enough since 

3
00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:24,880
October 7th, when Hamas 
militants invaded Israel from 

4
00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:30,600
Gaza and murdered over 1000 
people. 

5
00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:41,640
It was a terrible day and of 
course there was no one there to

6
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:44,600
help the people who live in the 
kubitzes here in the on the 

7
00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:50,440
Gazan border. 
I have people, I know, friends 

8
00:00:50,480 --> 00:00:57,120
who live in a kibbutzer too, in 
Israel, especially the ones down

9
00:00:57,120 --> 00:01:01,560
there by Gaza. 
You have to understand the 

10
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:05,040
people who live there, 
generally, the vast majority of 

11
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:08,240
them are. 
They believe in peace, they 

12
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:13,600
believe in human rights. 
They hate Netanyahu. 

13
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:17,800
They didn't vote for him. 
They don't want to vote for him.

14
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:21,200
They want him out of there. 
Just like over 80% of Israel 

15
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:25,840
wants him out of there. 
And yet, because he's a butcher,

16
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:33,240
he's not going anywhere. 
And because we hand him all the 

17
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:38,640
tools that a butcher needs to 
slaughter what will probably by 

18
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:45,160
the morning be now over 30,000 
people, Palestinians, civilians,

19
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:54,680
2/3 of them children, women, a 
lot more who are older, elderly 

20
00:01:54,680 --> 00:02:02,760
people. 
And the IDF, the Netanyahu 

21
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:07,720
cabinet, the war Cabinet. 
They don't give a rat's ass who 

22
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:13,120
dies just as long as they're 
Palestinians because, you know, 

23
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:18,840
they're guilty. 
Because a few hundred of their 

24
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:25,600
people, Palestinians, got on 
scooters and hang gliders, broke

25
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:33,720
out of their outdoor prison and 
in a mad race to kill the people

26
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:37,960
they see as their captors, their
jailers, the people that have 

27
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:42,560
kept them in this open air 
prison for 14/15/16 years. 

28
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:50,960
And it just continues every 
single day. 

29
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:55,320
And we fund it. 
We Americans fund this. 

30
00:02:55,560 --> 00:03:02,520
And Joe Biden, President Biden, 
you are the topic of discussion 

31
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:06,520
today again on my podcast Rumble
with Michael Moore. 

32
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:10,600
And I don't know if I mentioned 
this at the beginning. 

33
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:17,560
I am Michael Moore and I voted 
for you, Mr. Biden. 

34
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:22,920
I'm probably, as I've mentioned 
before, one of the few people 

35
00:03:22,920 --> 00:03:26,760
listening to this podcast right 
now that has been to Gaza in 

36
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:35,080
person at the Palestine, the 
West Bank had Israeli soldiers 

37
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:39,400
firing weapons at me and the 
other journalists who were there

38
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:42,200
to see what was going on and 
report what was going on. 

39
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:51,240
This first trip was back 39 
years ago, 39 years ago. 

40
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:54,880
I was there and I saw the truth.
I couldn't believe it. 

41
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:02,720
I guess I did believe it, but 
because I was seeing it with my 

42
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:06,360
own two eyes. 
And once you've seen this, you 

43
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:11,440
can't Unsee it every day around 
the world. 

44
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:15,400
I would say probably close to 
every hour of every day around 

45
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:19,399
the world there is some kind of 
protest going on calling for an 

46
00:04:19,399 --> 00:04:22,400
end to this war. 
It's not really a war. 

47
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:27,000
It's an assault against an 
imprisoned people who have to 

48
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:31,920
live under apartheid rules. 
They don't get to have a say. 

49
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:35,240
What's going on? 
They don't vote. 

50
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:39,440
They don't have human rights the
way Israeli citizens have them. 

51
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:43,400
And let me tell you, there are 
thousands upon thousands of 

52
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:49,680
these Israeli citizens who are 
sickened by this and who oppose 

53
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:56,200
the apartheid regime of Benjamin
Netanyahu and who have taken to 

54
00:04:56,200 --> 00:05:01,640
the streets every day in Israel,
and who know that Mister 

55
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:07,800
Netanyahu has absolutely little 
interest in getting those 

56
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:12,320
hostages back. 
The longer the hostages are 

57
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:17,280
being held, the longer he can 
keep the carpet bombing, the 

58
00:05:17,280 --> 00:05:24,000
massacre going on, that he can 
claim some justification for it.

59
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:34,480
I mean, I don't really have any 
contact with people in Hamas, 

60
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:43,800
but I would say if somehow 
you're listening to this, don't 

61
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:46,440
hurt anybody, don't kill 
anybody. 

62
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:54,040
The hostages are civilians too, 
and I can understand you're 

63
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:57,720
probably pretty upset right now.
You're probably also pretty 

64
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:02,240
confused as to why would the 
Prime Minister of Israel bomb 

65
00:06:03,280 --> 00:06:07,280
all these neighbourhoods where 
the hostages are being kept? 

66
00:06:07,840 --> 00:06:13,600
Why would he risk their lives? 
I mean, I think I read somewhere

67
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:17,800
we're over 20, 20, maybe 20 to 
30 of the hostages have already 

68
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:24,960
died as a result of the massacre
that's taken place, the massacre

69
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:27,760
on the part of the Israeli 
Defence Forces. 

70
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:34,360
Every day there's a protest, 
every day there's. 

71
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:36,720
And I, I mean, people send me 
video. 

72
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:40,160
They sent me selfies. 
I mean, from all over the world.

73
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:45,320
There's one woman in Tokyo. 
Her name is Nori and every day 

74
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:49,840
she conducts a one woman protest
on a street corner with a 

75
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:55,920
different sign each day in 
Tokyo, just standing there 

76
00:06:56,480 --> 00:07:00,640
calling out to people to please 
stop the madness. 

77
00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:11,400
Man, it's amazing. 
I know some people in this 

78
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:16,440
country don't understand why. 
Why has the whole world risen up

79
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:20,960
to oppose this, to oppose what 
Netanyahu is doing? 

80
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:26,400
It's going on. 
I can't tell you how many times 

81
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:31,760
I've run across small protests, 
large protests wherever I happen

82
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:39,040
to be, And Sunday night on the 
beach in Santa Monica, CA, the 

83
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:43,680
annual Independent Film Spirit 
Awards, the Spirit Awards were 

84
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:45,560
taking place. 
It's the awards each year that 

85
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:55,680
given out to independent films, 
and there was one person with a 

86
00:07:55,680 --> 00:08:00,760
tape on a loop, with a 
loudspeaker standing legally on 

87
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:03,360
the other side of where the 
awards are taking place, 

88
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:08,280
outdoors, behind the police 
barricades, public space. 

89
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:14,240
And he turned on this 
loudspeaker and for nearly two 

90
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:18,840
hours, if you were watching this
on the on the streaming 

91
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:24,040
channels, that was on. 
It went for almost 2 hours and 

92
00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:27,440
you could hear it. 
Everybody in the the big tent 

93
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:30,440
where the awards were taking 
place on the beach could hear 

94
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:33,080
it, people watching on TV could 
hear it. 

95
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:39,200
All the presenters, the people 
winning awards and one award 

96
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:45,400
winner, a man who made a film 
called Fremont was being given 

97
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:50,880
the John Cassavetes award. 
John Cassavetes the great one of

98
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:54,160
the really godfathers of of the 
modern day independent films 

99
00:08:54,520 --> 00:09:00,520
starting back in the 60s and so 
they give an award out to a film

100
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:05,160
maker that makes their films in 
the spirit of John Cassavetes 

101
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:11,280
and he went up to accept his 
award and and he and you could 

102
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:14,440
you know hear the the the 
Protester. 

103
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:17,520
Free Palestine. 
Free Palestine. 

104
00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:23,000
You know stop the killing 
ceasefire now free free 

105
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:25,400
Palestine. 
Free free Palestine. 

106
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:33,160
And he said, you know, I think 
what whoever and whatever he's 

107
00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:36,600
saying out there outside the 
tent, it's probably more 

108
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:42,520
important than what I have to 
say, collecting an award and. 

109
00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:44,400
The. 
Whole audience treat. 

110
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:48,440
Nobody got up, ran out of their 
seat to go beat the guy up. 

111
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:52,680
The police showed up and said, 
well, he's on public property 

112
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:55,440
and he has a right to free 
speech. 

113
00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:58,520
And even the host of the show, 
Aidy Bryant, said, you know, 

114
00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:04,720
we're on the beach and you know,
we support free speech and that 

115
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:05,880
way. 
And everybody applauded. 

116
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:09,680
And even though they were all 
there to this important day for 

117
00:10:09,680 --> 00:10:14,600
indie film makers, but nobody 
wanted to shut him up and he 

118
00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:16,720
wasn't. 
He was not shut down. 

119
00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:22,840
The police did not arrest him. 
The organizers of the show 

120
00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:25,480
apparently asked the police not 
to arrest him. 

121
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:30,440
That in the spirit of 
independence and independent 

122
00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:33,480
film. 
This. 

123
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:38,000
Lone individual. 
It was necessary that he was 

124
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:45,480
there and saying what he said 
and they didn't release his 

125
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:46,720
name. 
Whatever. 

126
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:50,520
I. 
I'll put up some video so. 

127
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:53,200
Funny when you if you've 
travelled to Israel and to 

128
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:57,960
Palestine, if you've been in, if
you have been to Gaza, one of 

129
00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:05,040
the kind of interesting amazing 
things is that how similar the 

130
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:12,640
people, the culture, the food is
because both groups of people, 

131
00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:18,600
the Jews of Israel and the Arabs
and Muslims of Palestine are 

132
00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:22,360
cousins, they're both Semitic 
peoples. 

133
00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:25,320
When you hear that Ant, well 
that's anti-Semitic. 

134
00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:28,560
Well, which anti-Semitic thing 
are you referring to? 

135
00:11:28,560 --> 00:11:34,120
Because the Arabs are Semitic 
people and the Jews are Semitic 

136
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:36,840
people in in that part of the 
world. 

137
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:42,040
And just looking at the guy and 
trying to and I, you know, 

138
00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:46,000
because so many of my friends 
are people I know that who are 

139
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:48,760
Jewish. 
Americans have spent a lot of 

140
00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:52,800
time since October at many, many
protests trying to stop this, 

141
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:57,560
trying to stop the killing of 
Palestinians, trying to stop 

142
00:11:57,560 --> 00:12:00,240
what Netanyahu wants to do next,
which is to push them into the 

143
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:07,360
desert, into Egypt. 
And Jewish Voice for Peace, 

144
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:10,840
which is an incredible 
organization, I encourage you to

145
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:13,400
join it. 
It's a Jewish organization, but 

146
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:14,920
it's. 
But everybody is welcome to 

147
00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:17,000
join. 
You should sign up for their 

148
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:20,600
newsletter. 
You should attend any rally or 

149
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:24,320
protest that they're putting on.
It's very powerful and very 

150
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:30,680
brave of them to take the stand.
And I have so much love and 

151
00:12:30,680 --> 00:12:35,760
respect for them because they 
don't have to do that, I guess, 

152
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:37,800
right. 
I I mean, I guess you do if you 

153
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:40,680
have a conscience, but. 
You know, I could just. 

154
00:12:40,680 --> 00:12:44,800
Go about living their lives in 
New York and DC and Boston and 

155
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:47,480
LA and San Francisco and Detroit
and Chicago. 

156
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:51,840
But no, they have been showing 
up, standing up for the 

157
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:56,960
Palestinian people. 
It's very uplifting to see this 

158
00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:04,840
and it's not surprising because 
if if well if you are Jewish or 

159
00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:10,800
if you have friends, Co workers,
classmates, neighbors who are 

160
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:15,600
Jewish and if you've spent any 
time talking to them about 

161
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:18,560
Judaism and what it means at its
core. 

162
00:13:19,680 --> 00:13:26,320
What we are witnessing is the 
opposite of what their book says

163
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:31,280
of what they are supposed to 
believe in and they know it and 

164
00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:36,880
they're crushed by this And the 
others who maybe are not as 

165
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:42,000
left-leaning as some of the anti
war groups, the Israeli and the 

166
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:45,680
Jewish anti war groups. 
They've figured this out by now,

167
00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:50,120
that Netanyahu and his war 
council have made them not 

168
00:13:50,120 --> 00:14:00,200
safer, but less safe, less safe 
other than people who are just 

169
00:14:00,680 --> 00:14:08,200
not thinking straight in Israel.
Other than that group, those who

170
00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:11,880
are really thinking this out 
know that the what the end game 

171
00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:14,400
is here, what the result of all 
this is going to be. 

172
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:18,400
And it's not going to be a safer
people for the people who live 

173
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:25,200
in Israel and in order in order 
to be safe to not have any more 

174
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:30,160
bloodshed on either side that 
the main fighting unit in the 

175
00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:34,360
so-called war. 
Because one side has all the 

176
00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:40,120
guns, all the battleships, all 
the fighter jets. 

177
00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:43,240
It's go. 
Down the whole. 

178
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:49,120
List and Palestinians have some 
improvised bombs they've put 

179
00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:53,400
together from parts of bombs 
that when they've been bombed, 

180
00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:57,160
they go and grab the parts where
if the bomb didn't go off, they 

181
00:14:57,160 --> 00:15:00,880
then have been trying to form 
their own missile brigade out of

182
00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:11,800
this nonsense. 
Well, whoever you are out there 

183
00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:14,320
on the beach in Santa Monica, 
thank you. 

184
00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:18,040
Thank you for doing that Sunday 
night. 

185
00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:25,880
That took a lot of courage too, 
because stuff like that can go 

186
00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:30,720
South pretty quickly. 
I hope you're OK now. 

187
00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:35,840
If for some awful reason they've
arrested you, DM me. 

188
00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:39,560
Send me a a message here, Send 
me an e-mail at 

189
00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:43,560
mike@michaelmoore.com. 
I'll put up the money to bail 

190
00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:47,080
you out of there in Santa Monica
if that's the case. 

191
00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:51,000
I I have a feeling it's not 
going to be the case, in part 

192
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:54,920
because everybody, I know, not 
everybody. 

193
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:58,080
But I'll say it again. 
Everybody is against what's 

194
00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:01,200
going on. 
I mean, think about this. 

195
00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:05,560
In the last couple weeks, look 
at all the labour unions that 

196
00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:10,080
have come out against Netanyahu,
against the IDF, against this 

197
00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:16,600
massacre. the United Auto 
Workers have taken a very bold 

198
00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:19,400
stand. 
They want a ceasefire right now,

199
00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:21,760
tonight. 
And it's not just the United 

200
00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:24,760
Auto Workers. 
It's the National Nurses Union, 

201
00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:27,280
it's the National Flight 
Attendants Union. 

202
00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:31,240
It's the national. 
I mean, seriously, if the flight

203
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:35,240
attendants have turned against 
you, Really. 

204
00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:38,880
I mean, I you can look up the 
list. 

205
00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:42,480
I mean there's there's there's 
at least 200, either national or

206
00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:47,320
local labor unions in this 
country alone opposed to Biden 

207
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:52,520
continuing this war, opposed to 
US funding more armaments and 

208
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:57,200
more death machines. 
Over 200 unions. 

209
00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:02,560
Those are just the unions, the 
National Education Association, 

210
00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:04,880
the America's teachers. 
I mean, you just could look at 

211
00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:06,440
the list. 
Just look at the list. 

212
00:17:09,079 --> 00:17:13,079
And if you were just randomly 
and and without thinking 

213
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:17,440
continuing to support Netanyahu 
and what that government is 

214
00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:20,160
doing, you should look at this 
list. 

215
00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:25,160
I know you're not going to want 
to look at it because it's full 

216
00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:28,560
of people that have always 
supported Israel and would and 

217
00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:33,320
would stand and fight anyone who
would harm a single one. 

218
00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:35,080
Of our Jewish brothers and 
sisters. 

219
00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:40,200
I've said that over. 
I've taken that pledge over and 

220
00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:42,800
over, and I know many of you 
have, too. 

221
00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:49,360
We will never let happen to the 
Jewish people what happened in 

222
00:17:49,360 --> 00:17:57,640
the last century and yet those 
same people, including me. 

223
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:06,200
Man, it's over. 
I mean, those of you supporting 

224
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:11,240
the war, those of you supporting
the massacre, the killing of 

225
00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:15,320
what is it now? 
Almost 20,000 women and 

226
00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:17,840
children. 
You supporting that? 

227
00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:25,480
No, you're done. 
And President Biden this is 

228
00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:33,000
what's really upsetting us is 
that you are risking you are 

229
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:35,720
risking putting Trump back in 
the White House. 

230
00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:40,000
What is wrong with you. 
It was an amazing I'll, I'll 

231
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:45,120
post it here on the site op-ed 
by Michelle Goldberg today in 

232
00:18:45,120 --> 00:18:49,320
the New York Times saying 
basically and she's writing this

233
00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:54,040
from Michigan where she's been 
getting ready for the primary on

234
00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:57,000
Tuesday. 
She wrote this as a warning to 

235
00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:01,880
Biden, saying you don't get it, 
you're going to lose Michigan. 

236
00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:08,720
And if you lose Michigan, it 
really could probably mean 

237
00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:14,400
you're going to lose in November
and Trump will be back in the 

238
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:17,560
Oval Office and you're the one 
who's going to be held 

239
00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:22,920
responsible for this. 
And I'm going to talk to you a 

240
00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:26,160
little bit about that after we 
thank a couple of our 

241
00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:28,640
underwriters here today. 
But I just I. 

242
00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:33,360
Was just so upset. 
And I'm grateful to everybody 

243
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:38,760
who has protested who's been out
there, whether it's the awards 

244
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:42,560
out in LA, whether it's the 
upcoming Oscars. 

245
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:45,840
Oh my God, I don't know if 
anybody saw this. 

246
00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:49,200
The Berlin Film Festival was 
this past week and and the 

247
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:52,920
awards were handed out. 
Also their big big award season 

248
00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:57,280
yesterday and the film that won 
best documentary. 

249
00:19:57,560 --> 00:20:01,520
This is in Berlin. 
It's called No Other Land. 

250
00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:08,600
A film about the brutalization 
of the Palestinian people and 

251
00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:14,240
and the hardcore violent 
apartheid actions and regime 

252
00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:18,960
from Tel Aviv to the Palestinian
people. 

253
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:24,520
This film was made by both 
Israeli Jews and Palestinian 

254
00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:27,400
Muslims. 
They made it together. 

255
00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:31,560
They focused on one village 
where Netanyahu and his gang. 

256
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:37,160
The plan is, is and was to 
remove everybody, just 

257
00:20:37,360 --> 00:20:40,280
annihilate this village, get 
them all out of there, send 

258
00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:42,880
themselves, send them to Egypt, 
send them wherever. 

259
00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:48,520
And it won best documentary. 
And I'm going to actually, you 

260
00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:53,160
know what, Angie, if we could 
just play there's a there. 

261
00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:57,720
The Channel 11 in Israel put up 
about 30 seconds of their 

262
00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:01,760
acceptance speech in Berlin for 
winning this award for best 

263
00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:05,080
documentary. 
And it was so moving and the 

264
00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:07,400
people were just in tears 
watching this film. 

265
00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:12,280
These are Germans, you know, one
of the Co directors, Yuval 

266
00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:15,760
Abraham, gave the acceptance 
speech and he's standing beside 

267
00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:19,160
the Basil Audra, one of his Co 
directors. 

268
00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:23,520
I think there's four of them, a 
woman named Rachel and somebody 

269
00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:29,240
else who made this film. 
And, you know, and they don't 

270
00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:31,200
have a distributor yet. 
They don't have one here in the 

271
00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:37,000
US But again, my plan is to just
jot them a note and let them 

272
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:40,160
know anything I can do to help 
get distribution in the US so 

273
00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:42,080
people can see the truth of 
what's going on. 

274
00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:45,920
That's what I'm here for. 
Why? 

275
00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:48,760
Because I have been that way 
since I was a teenager, 

276
00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:53,440
supporting our Jewish brothers 
and sisters, protecting the 

277
00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:58,880
people in Israel, a place for 
the survivors, the the victims 

278
00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:01,600
of the Holocaust to be able to 
go and be safe. 

279
00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:06,680
And of course, what they've 
learned in these last five 

280
00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:11,280
months is not only are they not 
safe, and not only will they not

281
00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:16,920
be protected by their own 
government, they've lost the 

282
00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:22,120
support of the world and very 
specifically in this country of 

283
00:22:22,120 --> 00:22:29,600
young people, of the Arab and 
Muslim community, many other 

284
00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:36,400
people of colour. 
And they're all very upset and 

285
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:41,400
very angry. 
This isn't like taking a 

286
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:44,920
position on student loans, 
repaying the debt. 

287
00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:49,040
This isn't about a border wall 
here with Mexico. 

288
00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:54,120
This issue is so fundamental, if
you don't know people that 

289
00:22:54,120 --> 00:23:00,720
actually will vote on A1 issue, 
I mean, I'm sure many of you 

290
00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:05,560
have this feeling how many 
people since Roe V Wade was 

291
00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:08,960
eliminated almost two years ago 
now. 

292
00:23:10,120 --> 00:23:13,840
Do you think of that issue like 
women, women's rights, the right

293
00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:18,640
to their own bodies to determine
what they want to do, if they 

294
00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:22,480
want to bring a child into this 
world that that was ripped from 

295
00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:27,400
them? 
Anybody here going to make any 

296
00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:32,280
decisions this year politically 
based on that one issue? 

297
00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:36,000
I think you are and I certainly 
am. 

298
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:49,720
Well this this slaughter of 
innocence in Gaza that that 

299
00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:54,520
could affect this election. 
Angie, let's let's just play 30 

300
00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:58,440
seconds from the director, Co 
director on winning the award at

301
00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:00,560
the Berlin Film Festival for 
Best Documentary. 

302
00:24:01,120 --> 00:24:05,320
Of the festival. 
I want to say we are we are 

303
00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:07,800
standing in front of you now. 
Me and Basel are the same age. 

304
00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:09,960
I am Israeli, Basel is 
Palestinian. 

305
00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:15,680
And in two days we will go back 
to a land where we are not 

306
00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:19,760
equal. 
I'm living under a civilian law 

307
00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:23,080
and Basel is under military law.
We live 30 minutes from one 

308
00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:24,680
another. 
But I have voting rights. 

309
00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:26,640
Basel is not having voting 
rights. 

310
00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:29,280
I'm free to move where I want in
this land. 

311
00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:32,560
Basel is like millions of 
Palestinians locked in the 

312
00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:36,120
occupied West Bank. 
This situation of apartheid 

313
00:24:36,120 --> 00:24:39,720
between us, this inequality, it 
has to end. 

314
00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:45,800
People in Israel saw that on TV 
last night. 

315
00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:50,160
Very powerful. 
And I want to read you something

316
00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:53,600
else. 
Yuval Abraham, one of the Co 

317
00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:59,000
directors, the one who just gave
that speech from the award stage

318
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:02,760
in Berlin, also said this 
afterwards to a German press. 

319
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:08,440
He said, quote, I know Germans 
have a lot of guilt for what 

320
00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:10,120
happened in the Second World 
War. 

321
00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:15,480
Abraham added that many of his 
relatives were killed during the

322
00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:20,720
Holocaust. 
Quote, don't use this guilt now 

323
00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:25,520
and weaponize it and refuse to 
call for a ceasefire speaking to

324
00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:29,880
the German people here. 
Use it to help us reach a 

325
00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:33,520
political solution. 
Use it to pressure the State of 

326
00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:39,080
Israel to end the occupation. 
Wow. 

327
00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:49,240
It's the more this happens, and 
it happens every day, the more 

328
00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:55,160
that that people speak out, take
a stand, give up their moment in

329
00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:57,800
the spotlight. 
I mean, he's on this big stage, 

330
00:25:57,800 --> 00:26:01,480
he's live on German television, 
he's winning this award and he 

331
00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:05,400
gives up that time to to say, 
you know, there's something more

332
00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:10,600
important going on here. 
His film is called No Other 

333
00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:13,720
Land. 
I'll do my best to make sure 

334
00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:15,960
everybody listening to this gets
to see it. 

335
00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:21,600
Let me just, I got to pause and 
thank our underwriters here and 

336
00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:23,800
then they'll come back in in 
just a second. 

337
00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:27,080
But let me just just take this 
moment to thank the good people 

338
00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:31,440
who underwrite this, who allow 
me to have my voice and have it 

339
00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:35,400
heard, who do their best to that
I don't have to stand on a beach

340
00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:37,280
in Santa Monica with. 
A. 

341
00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:42,360
A bullhorn or a loudspeaker all 
by myself Today we've got. 3 

342
00:26:42,360 --> 00:26:45,760
Underwriters and The first one I
want to thank is Netflix and 

343
00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:48,960
their incredible film that's 
been nominated for a Best 

344
00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:51,720
International Feature Society of
the. 

345
00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:58,920
Snow Society of the Snow is one 
of the most intense movies I've 

346
00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:02,200
seen in the last few years. 
I mean, so well done. 

347
00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:05,960
It's based on the true story, 
which I'm sure many of you might

348
00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:09,840
remember. 
Back in 1972, there was an 

349
00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:12,920
airplane crash in the Andes 
Mountains in South America. 

350
00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:18,560
There was a rugby team on board.
Those who lived had to basically

351
00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:24,720
endure 72 days of brutal, 
unbelievable suffering. 

352
00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:27,040
But they were determined to 
live. 

353
00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:30,440
They were going to survive. 
You've seen a couple films like 

354
00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:32,320
this before, but I'm telling 
you, my friend, you've never 

355
00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:36,000
seen anything like this. 
One review called it the most 

356
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:39,240
incredible survival story of all
time, and other critics said 

357
00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:44,160
this is a deeply felt portrait 
of togetherness, brotherhood and

358
00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:47,960
survival. 
At this year's Goya Awards in 

359
00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:53,640
Spain, this film, Society of the
Snow, won 1212 Goyas. 

360
00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:58,240
That's their Oscars, including 
for Best film, Best Director on 

361
00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:01,280
and on and on. 
It really took the country on 

362
00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:04,880
South America by storm. 
And now we're just now getting 

363
00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:07,480
to see this incredible, 
incredible movie thanks to 

364
00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:10,360
Netflix. 
And it's nominated for Best 

365
00:28:10,360 --> 00:28:13,240
International Feature at the 
Oscars here in a couple weeks, 

366
00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:17,480
and it also has another 
nomination, I believe, for hair 

367
00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:19,920
and makeup. 
Yes, it's heartbreaking. 

368
00:28:20,120 --> 00:28:23,520
It's intense. 
But there is such an enormous 

369
00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:27,800
heart at the center of this 
film, and I want to encourage 

370
00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:30,480
you to see it. 
It's called Society of the Snow.

371
00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:33,800
See it on Netflix. 
You won't regret spending a 

372
00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:38,200
couple of hours with this 
amazing movie, Society of the 

373
00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:44,080
Snow. 
OK, now the primary, the 

374
00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:50,680
Democratic primary in Michigan 
is Tuesday, Tuesday the 27th of 

375
00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:53,560
February. 
Is is the primary. 

376
00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:56,680
Now, of course, you know Biden's
on the ballot. 

377
00:28:57,320 --> 00:29:00,240
There's a couple of minor 
candidates that have been on 

378
00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:03,920
other ballots in these 
primaries, but they've really 

379
00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:06,520
picked up no votes and no 
delegates. 

380
00:29:07,080 --> 00:29:09,240
So it's, you know, it's it's 
it's Biden's. 

381
00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:13,080
I think everybody knows that 
where we're at now, who the two 

382
00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:16,320
candidates are going to be in 
November, It's going to be Joe 

383
00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:21,200
Biden and Donald Trump. 
So there's no doubt about, you 

384
00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:23,360
know, Biden winning the primary 
tomorrow. 

385
00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:29,000
But a group in Michigan, good 
people that I know, it's a 

386
00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:34,400
combination of progressives, 
progressive left, Arab Americans

387
00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:40,680
in the Detroit and Flint area 
and and people who are just 

388
00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:44,600
absolutely fed up with this war 
in Gaza and the fact that you 

389
00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:47,640
and I are paying for it. 
So they've come up with a good 

390
00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:49,320
idea. 
It's called Listen to Michigan. 

391
00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:52,080
And we know what's happened in 
the past when you don't listen 

392
00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:55,080
to Michigan, the Clinton 
campaign, Hillary Clinton 

393
00:29:55,080 --> 00:30:00,480
campaign in 2016 decided not to 
campaign in Michigan or 

394
00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:04,640
Wisconsin, lost both states. 
And as I told you last week, 

395
00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:09,400
they lost Michigan by an average
of two votes per precinct to 

396
00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:13,840
Donald Trump. 
He won Michigan by two average, 

397
00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:18,240
two votes per precinct. 
So this has been a swing state 

398
00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:21,640
for some time. 
It's very Democratic, very blue.

399
00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:25,040
Right now. 
Democrats control both houses in

400
00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:27,080
the state capitol, the House and
the Senate. 

401
00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:30,640
They control the Supreme Courts.
It's up and down and all over 

402
00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:32,920
the place. 
We have a Democratic governor, 

403
00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:36,680
Democratic Lieutenant governor, 
Democratic attorney general, 

404
00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:40,600
Democratic Secretary of State. 
The Lieutenant governor is 

405
00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:42,320
black. 
The governor is a woman. 

406
00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:46,720
The attorney general is gay. 
I mean, it's Michigan has become

407
00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:51,720
a very, very progressive state. 
We have a new president of the 

408
00:30:51,720 --> 00:30:57,680
UAW, United Auto Workers union. 
That is FOOF one of the best 

409
00:30:57,880 --> 00:31:01,120
leaders of the UAW that we've 
had in a very, very long time. 

410
00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:04,560
So things are have been looking 
up going good. 

411
00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:09,120
We picked up another seat in 
Congress in the midterms. 

412
00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:13,960
So things should be OK, except 
I'm going to, I'm going to put a

413
00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:18,440
link here on the site, this 
op-ed yesterday on Sunday in the

414
00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:23,480
New York Times by Michelle 
Goldberg, where she says 

415
00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:26,240
basically that. 
Biden. 

416
00:31:27,040 --> 00:31:31,600
Biden has upset so many 10s of 
thousands of people in the state

417
00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:35,080
of Michigan with this 
indiscriminate slaughter. 

418
00:31:36,040 --> 00:31:39,880
His word? 
He called Israeli the bombing, 

419
00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:41,520
the bombing they're doing is 
indiscriminate. 

420
00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:44,680
But he only says that privately.
He won't say it out loud 

421
00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:47,680
publicly. 
And Michelle Goldberg wrote 

422
00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:53,760
yesterday that that Biden, 
because he has not listened to 

423
00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:59,160
the people in Michigan, the 
Democratic voters, 72% are 

424
00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:01,280
against Netanyahu and against 
this war. 

425
00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:05,320
They don't want any more money 
going to the military in Israel 

426
00:32:05,320 --> 00:32:09,520
right now until this there's a 
ceasefire, this is stopped and 

427
00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:11,720
there has to be a whole new 
conversation now about the 

428
00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:15,360
occupation occupations are 
wrong, apartheid is wrong. 

429
00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:19,120
We all know this. 
Why we let this go for so long? 

430
00:32:19,120 --> 00:32:20,680
Well, they're not going to let 
it go anymore. 

431
00:32:20,920 --> 00:32:24,320
I got to tell you, the mail that
I'm getting from young people in

432
00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:29,280
Michigan, from people in the 
Arab American community, Wow, my

433
00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:31,920
friends, I should post some of 
these. 

434
00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:33,640
I don't know. 
I have to get their permission 

435
00:32:33,640 --> 00:32:37,080
and everything probably. 
But I mean, you read this and 

436
00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:40,840
you think, Oh my God, I mean, 
they're they're not going to 

437
00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:44,800
vote for Trump in November, but 
my fear is that they're going to

438
00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:47,760
stay home. 
Can't stay home. 

439
00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:52,600
Trump can't come back. 
That's the only way Trump can 

440
00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:58,320
win is if the people against 
them don't show up, don't show 

441
00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:03,680
up, don't vote for Biden. 
So how do we get this message 

442
00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:05,840
through to Biden? 
He's not listening to the people

443
00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:07,920
of Michigan. 
He's not listening to its young 

444
00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:09,160
people. 
He's not listening to the Arab 

445
00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:13,080
American community. 
And so some of the people in 

446
00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:16,400
Detroit came up with this great 
idea called Listen to Michigan. 

447
00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:20,120
This is, this is a movement 
that's only about two weeks old,

448
00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:23,920
and it has caught on fire. 
Let me tell you, my friends, I'm

449
00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:28,200
just telling you this as a 
Michigander, there are people by

450
00:33:28,200 --> 00:33:30,040
the thousands who are going to 
vote. 

451
00:33:30,080 --> 00:33:32,400
You know, there's there's the 
line that says Joe Biden, 

452
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:34,880
Marianne Williamson is the next 
line. 

453
00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:38,640
Dean Reynolds, those are the 
other, you know, candidates that

454
00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:41,520
are running. 
And then there's a line that 

455
00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:45,560
says uncommitted. 
It allows you to to say, you 

456
00:33:45,560 --> 00:33:49,160
know, right now I'm just not too
happy with things. 

457
00:33:49,480 --> 00:33:51,680
I'm not saying I'm not going to 
vote for Biden in November or 

458
00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:53,560
not. 
Certainly nobody wants Trump 

459
00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:56,680
back in there. 
So you can vote uncommitted 

460
00:33:56,680 --> 00:33:59,320
tomorrow. 
And there is a movement afoot, 

461
00:33:59,920 --> 00:34:02,600
especially in in southeastern 
Michigan. 

462
00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:07,840
Many of our cities are majority 
black in Michigan, Detroit, 

463
00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:14,080
Flint, Pontiac Saginaw, I think 
Lansing is. 

464
00:34:14,719 --> 00:34:17,239
And then over on the West side 
of the state, Benton Harbor. 

465
00:34:17,760 --> 00:34:20,000
It's, as they say, a very 
diverse state. 

466
00:34:21,320 --> 00:34:27,280
And to purposely piss off young 
people, people of color, women, 

467
00:34:28,639 --> 00:34:35,719
Arab, Americans, it's just, you 
know, why would you do that? 

468
00:34:37,120 --> 00:34:40,639
I don't get it. 
I don't get it. 

469
00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:44,679
So strong message needs to be 
sent to Joe Biden tomorrow in 

470
00:34:44,679 --> 00:34:48,320
Michigan. 
We all need to mark that that 

471
00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:49,840
little box that says I'm 
committed. 

472
00:34:51,040 --> 00:34:55,920
If he sees how many people do 
that, maybe, maybe it'll sink in

473
00:34:56,520 --> 00:35:00,920
that he's in trouble. 
And one place you can't be in 

474
00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:08,320
trouble these days is Michigan. 
He has to win Michigan, but he 

475
00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:10,400
has to know just how upset 
people are. 

476
00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:15,080
People have lost family members,
Arab Americans and Muslim 

477
00:35:15,080 --> 00:35:18,400
community. 
Just in that area of Michigan, 

478
00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:21,680
there's like a quarter million 
Arab and Muslim Americans 

479
00:35:23,680 --> 00:35:28,520
voters. 
I mentioned the cities that are 

480
00:35:28,520 --> 00:35:31,640
majority black. 
We have majority Arab and Muslim

481
00:35:31,640 --> 00:35:34,440
cities in Michigan. 
We have cities where the mayors 

482
00:35:34,440 --> 00:35:38,960
are are Muslim. 
We have cities where the 

483
00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:41,280
majority of the City Council are
Arab. 

484
00:35:41,280 --> 00:35:46,280
Americans probably didn't know 
this about Michigan. 

485
00:35:46,360 --> 00:35:49,200
It's got the largest percentage 
of Arab and Muslim voters in 

486
00:35:49,200 --> 00:35:56,040
this country. 
And by the way these Arab 

487
00:35:56,040 --> 00:35:58,840
Americans and Muslim Americans, 
they were our neighbors that we 

488
00:35:58,840 --> 00:36:01,160
grew up with them. 
They worked in the factories 

489
00:36:01,160 --> 00:36:03,640
next to our dads and our 
grandmothers and grandfathers 

490
00:36:04,160 --> 00:36:08,360
and they are loved. 
They are loved by their 

491
00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:11,280
neighbors, their Co workers, 
their classmates. 

492
00:36:11,880 --> 00:36:15,800
You know, most Arab Americans in
Michigan will tell you this is a

493
00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:19,760
place of acceptance. 
This is not a place of bigotry. 

494
00:36:20,160 --> 00:36:23,080
It's not a place where they have
to worry about violence against 

495
00:36:23,080 --> 00:36:25,200
them. 
Not that they they probably 

496
00:36:25,200 --> 00:36:27,240
should always worry about that, 
no matter where they are in this

497
00:36:27,240 --> 00:36:30,280
country at this point. 
But wow. 

498
00:36:32,320 --> 00:36:38,640
There was a a story in the Times
earlier this week about the 

499
00:36:38,720 --> 00:36:41,560
different factions on the campus
of the University of Michigan in

500
00:36:41,560 --> 00:36:47,280
Ann Arbor, where there are a lot
of Arab American students and 

501
00:36:47,280 --> 00:36:48,760
there's a lot of Jewish 
students. 

502
00:36:49,840 --> 00:36:53,040
And it told this little known 
history of the University of 

503
00:36:53,040 --> 00:36:56,680
Michigan that I've never seen 
this in a national publication. 

504
00:36:56,960 --> 00:37:01,960
We know it in Michigan, but back
in the what's called the 20s, 

505
00:37:01,960 --> 00:37:07,960
thirties, 40s, the first half of
the 20th century, if you were 

506
00:37:07,960 --> 00:37:11,920
Jewish in this country it was 
not easy to get into a good 

507
00:37:12,360 --> 00:37:16,560
university. 
They all had caps for they they 

508
00:37:16,560 --> 00:37:20,640
will accept only a a minimal 
number of Jewish students and no

509
00:37:20,640 --> 00:37:24,560
more than that. 
They put a cap on it is it was 

510
00:37:24,560 --> 00:37:27,000
very discriminatory, it was 
anti-Semitic. 

511
00:37:28,560 --> 00:37:32,000
And we're talking about the Ivy 
League schools, the other elite 

512
00:37:32,240 --> 00:37:37,880
colleges, either no Jews allowed
or few Jews allowed. 

513
00:37:38,400 --> 00:37:40,880
And the people of Michigan and 
the people that ran the 

514
00:37:40,880 --> 00:37:45,560
University of Michigan were 
frankly appalled at this 

515
00:37:45,560 --> 00:37:50,200
bigotry. 
And so and the time story sort 

516
00:37:50,200 --> 00:37:54,480
of made this clear that while 
here we are now in 2024 and you 

517
00:37:54,480 --> 00:37:58,680
have a different campus groups 
on different sides of the 

518
00:37:58,680 --> 00:38:04,160
slaughter in Gaza. 
But the reason that there's even

519
00:38:04,160 --> 00:38:09,320
different groups is because the 
University of Michigan, sixty 

520
00:38:09,320 --> 00:38:15,000
7080 years ago, first of all put
the word out that we have no 

521
00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:22,320
caps here for Jewish students. 
We will accept if your grades 

522
00:38:22,320 --> 00:38:28,560
were such or whatever, and it 
didn't matter what you were, if 

523
00:38:28,560 --> 00:38:30,360
you were Jewish or not Jewish or
whatever. 

524
00:38:30,800 --> 00:38:34,040
And this is way back all those 
years ago. 

525
00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:38,400
So it's at a point now where 
there are, it's according to the

526
00:38:38,400 --> 00:38:41,560
article there are now 5000 
Jewish students in Ann Arbor. 

527
00:38:41,920 --> 00:38:44,120
I don't, you know, I should have
looked this up, but I think 

528
00:38:45,200 --> 00:38:48,480
there's, I'm talking about 
undergrads now there's maybe 

529
00:38:49,400 --> 00:38:55,000
35,000 undergrads that go to the
University of Michigan and 5000 

530
00:38:55,000 --> 00:39:00,600
of them are Jewish. 
I mean, but that's because 

531
00:39:00,600 --> 00:39:06,440
that's decades of having an anti
bigotry policy. 

532
00:39:08,120 --> 00:39:10,760
And word got around the Jewish 
communities around the country 

533
00:39:10,760 --> 00:39:16,440
that there was this place, a 
really great school that 

534
00:39:16,440 --> 00:39:23,080
welcomed all Jews. 
And as times progressed and into

535
00:39:23,080 --> 00:39:27,200
the second-half of the 20th 
century, all Arab Americans, 

536
00:39:27,240 --> 00:39:31,320
Muslims were welcome too. 
So right now on the campus 

537
00:39:31,800 --> 00:39:36,120
you've got 5000 Jewish 
undergrads and you've got 2500 

538
00:39:36,120 --> 00:39:41,720
to 3000 somewhere in there of 
Muslim and or Arab students. 

539
00:39:44,200 --> 00:39:45,800
You understand that's huge, 
right? 

540
00:39:47,800 --> 00:39:51,080
It's huge because again, you 
probably have to be from 

541
00:39:51,080 --> 00:39:55,320
Michigan to know this history, 
but the first black mayor in the

542
00:39:55,320 --> 00:40:02,320
country was the was Floyd Mccree
of Flint, MI 196566 before Karl 

543
00:40:02,320 --> 00:40:06,560
Stokes. 
Was the mayor of Cleveland Floyd

544
00:40:06,560 --> 00:40:10,360
Mccree in Flint, MI, Flint, MI, 
the first city in the country to

545
00:40:10,400 --> 00:40:15,200
pass an open housing ordinance? 
Non discrimination against 

546
00:40:15,240 --> 00:40:18,440
people because of their race or 
their religion, their ethnic 

547
00:40:18,440 --> 00:40:19,440
origins? 
Whatever. 

548
00:40:19,960 --> 00:40:26,640
So if I'm explaining this 
correctly, people in Michigan 

549
00:40:26,640 --> 00:40:32,880
don't like apartheid. 
I was there with Nelson Mandela 

550
00:40:32,880 --> 00:40:35,560
when he got out of prison and he
came and did that tour of the 

551
00:40:35,560 --> 00:40:38,880
country and he came to Tiger 
Stadium in downtown Detroit. 

552
00:40:40,560 --> 00:40:45,040
And I got to hang with this, the
small group that was there, that

553
00:40:45,040 --> 00:40:46,440
welcomed him and brought him 
there. 

554
00:40:46,440 --> 00:40:52,360
And it's just who we are. 
And I'm not saying it's perfect,

555
00:40:53,200 --> 00:40:54,400
Believe me. 
It's not. 

556
00:40:54,840 --> 00:40:56,360
I'm not saying we don't have 
bigots. 

557
00:40:56,520 --> 00:41:00,200
We got a boatload of them, just 
like every place else. 

558
00:41:01,680 --> 00:41:05,720
But when we see the kind of 
stuff that's going on now, what 

559
00:41:05,720 --> 00:41:10,800
Israel is doing to the 
Palestinians, the massacre of 

560
00:41:10,800 --> 00:41:12,840
all these civilians, of 
children, of women, of the 

561
00:41:12,840 --> 00:41:15,640
elderly and all that, people are
sick of it. 

562
00:41:16,920 --> 00:41:22,440
And the disappointment in Biden 
that he has embraced Netanyahu, 

563
00:41:23,760 --> 00:41:28,960
that he has essentially given 
them a blank check here. 

564
00:41:29,600 --> 00:41:32,320
More armaments, more bullets, 
more everything. 

565
00:41:33,440 --> 00:41:39,040
And it's not to protect the 
Israeli people if they're if 

566
00:41:39,040 --> 00:41:40,760
they weren't protected in 
October. 

567
00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:45,360
That's on their Prime Minister 
who pulled the army back from 

568
00:41:45,360 --> 00:41:49,160
the Gazan border for still a yet
to be explained reason. 

569
00:41:50,120 --> 00:41:54,920
Or the investigative reporting 
that the Hebrew daily Herats in 

570
00:41:54,960 --> 00:42:00,800
Israel has done about how much 
money over the last decade 

571
00:42:01,080 --> 00:42:06,120
Netanyahu has put into the 
pockets of Hamas because he, he 

572
00:42:06,120 --> 00:42:09,280
was trying to create a wedge 
between the two Palestinian 

573
00:42:09,280 --> 00:42:13,320
groups, Hamas in Gaza and the 
Palestinian Authority in the 

574
00:42:13,320 --> 00:42:17,800
West Bank, thinking that if I 
can build this wedge, have them 

575
00:42:17,800 --> 00:42:21,800
fight each other, we win, we'll 
destroy them all. 

576
00:42:24,600 --> 00:42:27,200
So I I tell you that little 
story about the history of the 

577
00:42:27,200 --> 00:42:31,320
University of Michigan because 
there is going to be an effect 

578
00:42:31,320 --> 00:42:37,560
and a blowback, I believe, in 
the Michigan primary and a lot 

579
00:42:37,560 --> 00:42:39,440
of people. 
And when you have like a former 

580
00:42:39,440 --> 00:42:44,080
congressman Andy Levin, who's 
Jewish, he's actually an 

581
00:42:44,080 --> 00:42:47,560
observant Jew. 
He was the president of a 

582
00:42:47,560 --> 00:42:53,800
synagogue there in Detroit. 
But because he talks about 

583
00:42:53,800 --> 00:42:57,960
Palestinian rights and treating 
them the right way and not just 

584
00:42:57,960 --> 00:43:01,880
giving a blank check to the 
Netanyahu government, when he 

585
00:43:01,880 --> 00:43:05,760
ran in the last election, he was
an incumbent Democratic member 

586
00:43:05,760 --> 00:43:10,080
of Congress and AIPAC and and 
the Israeli lobby put up 

587
00:43:10,080 --> 00:43:12,440
millions of dollars to get rid 
of them, and they did. 

588
00:43:14,800 --> 00:43:19,640
But he was quoted here in the 
Times and he he still supports 

589
00:43:19,640 --> 00:43:21,840
Biden. 
He's going to vote for Biden in 

590
00:43:21,840 --> 00:43:26,720
November, but tomorrow in the 
primary he's voting uncommitted 

591
00:43:27,440 --> 00:43:31,760
because he's wants to be part of
this group that's trying to send

592
00:43:31,760 --> 00:43:34,560
a message to Joe Biden that 
you've got to knock it off or 

593
00:43:34,560 --> 00:43:38,560
you're going to lose this 
election, he told the Times. 

594
00:43:38,560 --> 00:43:41,040
He said, really, I'm doing this 
more to say Biden than anything 

595
00:43:41,040 --> 00:43:44,280
else because he doesn't get it. 
He doesn't understand Michigan. 

596
00:43:44,520 --> 00:43:49,360
And as the headline said over 
Michelle Goldberg's column, you 

597
00:43:49,360 --> 00:43:52,760
lose Michigan, you lose the 
election in November. 

598
00:43:54,760 --> 00:43:56,440
So that's what we're all up to 
tomorrow. 

599
00:43:56,440 --> 00:44:00,440
And I want to encourage anybody 
and everybody to think about 

600
00:44:00,440 --> 00:44:02,800
doing this. 
Remember, it's you're not 

601
00:44:02,880 --> 00:44:04,960
against Biden. 
You can vote for him in 

602
00:44:04,960 --> 00:44:09,240
November, all this, but but we 
have to stop the killing of 

603
00:44:09,240 --> 00:44:14,800
these kids now. 
This week, this week, no more. 

604
00:44:16,440 --> 00:44:18,080
Can't wait till November on 
this. 

605
00:44:19,480 --> 00:44:25,120
People are dying every single 
day and they're dying with 

606
00:44:26,120 --> 00:44:32,200
bullets and tanks and bombs that
you and I pay for out of our tax

607
00:44:32,200 --> 00:44:34,400
dollars. 
That means we're partly 

608
00:44:34,400 --> 00:44:37,560
responsible for this if we sit 
by and do nothing and say 

609
00:44:37,560 --> 00:44:41,800
nothing. 
So please join with all of us, 

610
00:44:42,360 --> 00:44:47,600
all the people in our group, the
Jewish Voice for Peace, all the 

611
00:44:47,600 --> 00:44:50,840
anti war activists, the 
progressive left, Arab 

612
00:44:50,840 --> 00:44:54,600
Americans. 
And really let me just say this 

613
00:44:54,600 --> 00:45:00,400
to my fellow white people. 
You know, it's moments like this

614
00:45:00,400 --> 00:45:05,760
where if you don't stop and 
think about the fact that how 

615
00:45:05,800 --> 00:45:09,440
you and I have benefited from 
white privilege for a very long 

616
00:45:09,440 --> 00:45:14,200
time, long before we were even 
born, things got set up in this 

617
00:45:14,200 --> 00:45:19,440
country in a certain way that if
you were white, the doors opened

618
00:45:19,440 --> 00:45:25,320
a little wider and a little 
faster and, you know, you didn't

619
00:45:25,320 --> 00:45:29,600
go through the same criminal 
justice system that black and 

620
00:45:29,600 --> 00:45:32,400
Hispanic and Arab Americans go 
through. 

621
00:45:33,800 --> 00:45:36,880
So this is one of these times 
where, you know, maybe you don't

622
00:45:36,880 --> 00:45:39,680
want to do this this a little. 
I don't want to hit. 

623
00:45:40,040 --> 00:45:41,920
You know, Biden, he's done a lot
of good things. 

624
00:45:41,920 --> 00:45:43,400
He has done a lot of good 
things. 

625
00:45:43,880 --> 00:45:46,800
And Biden, you know, we got to 
get behind him. 

626
00:45:46,840 --> 00:45:49,120
Trump can't come back. 
You're right about that. 

627
00:45:51,280 --> 00:45:55,920
But but you have to also say, 
you know, but our Arab, American

628
00:45:55,920 --> 00:46:01,400
neighbors here in Michigan, our 
Muslim neighbors, our Jewish 

629
00:46:01,400 --> 00:46:06,000
neighbors who are for peace, we 
can't let them stand by 

630
00:46:06,000 --> 00:46:09,240
themselves on this. 
We have to stand with them. 

631
00:46:12,320 --> 00:46:14,600
We have to make up for some of 
that white privilege. 

632
00:46:15,240 --> 00:46:17,240
This is one of these moments 
where you can do something 

633
00:46:17,240 --> 00:46:20,960
constructive. 
We're trying to send a message 

634
00:46:21,560 --> 00:46:26,360
to an otherwise decent president
of the United States who has 

635
00:46:26,360 --> 00:46:41,320
made a fatal error, who has been
the bank for the massacre of 10s

636
00:46:41,320 --> 00:46:43,400
of thousands of people since 
October. 

637
00:46:46,120 --> 00:46:52,120
And we cannot be silent. 
Silence is violence. 

638
00:46:55,160 --> 00:46:59,960
We need to stand up for our Arab
neighbors in the state of 

639
00:46:59,960 --> 00:47:06,320
Michigan, the people that 
they've lost back home, all the 

640
00:47:06,320 --> 00:47:08,080
hassle and trouble they have to 
go through. 

641
00:47:08,080 --> 00:47:14,880
Now once again, what they had to
put up with after 911 simply 

642
00:47:14,880 --> 00:47:17,560
because they were Arab or 
Muslim. 

643
00:47:22,480 --> 00:47:26,560
Do you feel good about this? 
I certainly don't. 

644
00:47:27,120 --> 00:47:28,920
I don't want any of this done in
my name. 

645
00:47:31,920 --> 00:47:34,440
Don't write me and say, Mike, 
you can't say this kind of 

646
00:47:34,440 --> 00:47:35,440
stuff. 
We can't. 

647
00:47:35,800 --> 00:47:38,160
We have to stop Trump. 
We'll stop Trump. 

648
00:47:38,480 --> 00:47:42,720
In fact, because we're going to 
take the stand tomorrow, we know

649
00:47:42,720 --> 00:47:46,280
that we're going to have to 
double and triple our efforts to

650
00:47:46,280 --> 00:47:52,280
make sure that Biden doesn't 
fall off the rails here so that 

651
00:47:52,280 --> 00:47:54,360
Trump doesn't come back. 
We know this. 

652
00:47:55,800 --> 00:48:00,160
But right now we have to We have
to stop the slaughter. 

653
00:48:01,120 --> 00:48:04,840
It can't go on another day. 
Biden needs to wake up, as I 

654
00:48:04,840 --> 00:48:11,360
said on Wednesday morning, and 
go, holy shit, what happened in 

655
00:48:11,360 --> 00:48:14,840
Michigan? 
Well, Sir, we tried to tell you,

656
00:48:15,360 --> 00:48:19,480
you know, there's a heck of a 
lot of Arabs and Muslims and 

657
00:48:21,120 --> 00:48:27,920
Chaldeans and Lebanese and 
Syrians and Palestinians. 

658
00:48:32,480 --> 00:48:37,520
They're pretty distraught. 
They have a conscience. 

659
00:48:38,520 --> 00:48:42,040
A conscience does not allow them
to pick up that pen on on 

660
00:48:42,040 --> 00:48:46,440
Election Day and color in a 
little circle by your name. 

661
00:48:48,520 --> 00:48:51,600
Not when they've got family who 
are dying, family who are 

662
00:48:51,600 --> 00:48:58,320
homeless. 70,000 Palestinians in
Gaza that are have been wounded,

663
00:49:02,000 --> 00:49:11,160
70,000 plus the 30,000 dead. 
It's not right. 

664
00:49:11,240 --> 00:49:12,920
The whole world knows it's not 
right. 

665
00:49:13,200 --> 00:49:15,040
We in Michigan know it's not 
right. 

666
00:49:16,000 --> 00:49:18,800
We're going to mark that little 
circle, that little box tomorrow

667
00:49:18,960 --> 00:49:24,640
that says uncommitted, not 
against uncommitted. 

668
00:49:25,800 --> 00:49:29,800
And you, Mr. President, you have
got to straighten up and fly 

669
00:49:29,800 --> 00:49:38,760
right. 
Before we close out here today, 

670
00:49:38,760 --> 00:49:43,760
let me thank our other two 
underwriters that are giving us 

671
00:49:43,760 --> 00:49:45,760
the chance to be able to talk to
you in this manner. 

672
00:49:45,760 --> 00:49:49,120
And I want to thank them for 
that. 

673
00:49:51,360 --> 00:49:55,080
And the first one up is Moink, 
our longtime sponsor here. 

674
00:49:56,200 --> 00:49:58,920
Let me put it this way. 
We've got a math problem in this

675
00:49:58,920 --> 00:50:02,120
country. 
Only 2% of Americans are 

676
00:50:02,120 --> 00:50:07,880
farmers, yet 100% of us eat. 
We eat what they grow. 

677
00:50:08,200 --> 00:50:12,200
We eat what they process. 
That's why an eighth generation 

678
00:50:12,200 --> 00:50:16,200
farmer founded this organization
called Moink. 

679
00:50:16,880 --> 00:50:19,600
You can help save the family 
farm and reduce your 

680
00:50:19,600 --> 00:50:22,760
environmental imprint, all while
enjoying the highest quality 

681
00:50:22,760 --> 00:50:25,840
meat on earth. 
The best bacon, the best steak, 

682
00:50:26,080 --> 00:50:29,440
chicken, the best salmon. 
You'll never get it in a grocery

683
00:50:29,440 --> 00:50:31,440
store as good as you'll get it 
from Moink. 

684
00:50:31,680 --> 00:50:34,320
It's coming from a family farm 
that's independent. 

685
00:50:34,520 --> 00:50:37,120
Or it's coming from Alaskan 
fisherman who do things 

686
00:50:37,120 --> 00:50:38,800
differently. 
It's not a factory. 

687
00:50:39,160 --> 00:50:42,400
Save the family farm and join 
the Moink movement today.

taste. 

692
00:50:55,640 --> 00:50:57,320
But this is only for a limited 
time. 

693
00:50:57,400 --> 00:51:04,800
It's spelled Moink, MOINK, 
moinkbox.com/rumble.

696
00:51:13,520 --> 00:51:15,800
And finally, our last 
underwriter that we want to 

697
00:51:15,800 --> 00:51:19,200
mention today and thank for 
their wonderful support is 

698
00:51:19,200 --> 00:51:23,480
stamps.com. 
So we're already now going into 

699
00:51:23,480 --> 00:51:26,360
our third month of the New Year 
and you know, the excitement of 

700
00:51:26,360 --> 00:51:29,880
the new year is pretty much worn
off by now and it's time to find

701
00:51:29,880 --> 00:51:31,360
your groove and keep things 
going. 

702
00:51:31,360 --> 00:51:34,280

723
00:52:51,560 --> 00:52:55,840
gonna close up shop here. 
Before we do that, I began the 

724
00:52:55,840 --> 00:52:59,280
podcast here talking about how 
great it is people showing up to

725
00:52:59,280 --> 00:53:02,000
demonstrate the protest have 
their voices heard, whether it's

726
00:53:02,000 --> 00:53:08,440
one person or 1000 people. 
My enormous thanks to the pro 

727
00:53:08,440 --> 00:53:12,240
Palestinian groups that have 
been organizing this and but 

728
00:53:12,240 --> 00:53:18,280
also to Jewish Voice for Peace. 
Thank you so much for making 

729
00:53:18,280 --> 00:53:20,280
your voice heard. 
There was also. 

730
00:53:20,280 --> 00:53:22,720
Something that happened 
yesterday, I'm sure you read 

731
00:53:22,720 --> 00:53:28,840
about it by now or saw it on TV 
for the second time here since 

732
00:53:28,840 --> 00:53:37,320
the situation in Gaza and in 
Israel on October 7th. 

733
00:53:38,120 --> 00:53:42,200
It's the second time yesterday 
that somebody decided as a 

734
00:53:42,200 --> 00:53:46,720
protest to set themselves on 
fire and protest what the 

735
00:53:46,720 --> 00:53:50,000
Israeli government was doing. 
This is a horrible thing. 

736
00:53:50,000 --> 00:53:53,320
I mean, for those of us old 
enough to remember Vietnam and 

737
00:53:53,320 --> 00:53:58,240
the Buddhist monks who would set
themselves on fire in downtown 

738
00:53:58,240 --> 00:54:02,880
Saigon to protest the war, to 
stop, try and stop the war, they

739
00:54:02,880 --> 00:54:06,400
were willing to actually give up
their lives so that everybody 

740
00:54:06,400 --> 00:54:12,560
would see the horror of it all. 
That happened yesterday again, 

741
00:54:13,720 --> 00:54:18,200
this time in Washington DC, 
outside the Israeli Embassy. 

742
00:54:19,200 --> 00:54:26,360
A United States Air Force 
officer, active duty Air Force 

743
00:54:26,360 --> 00:54:34,000
officer, He had notified the 
press and he made a statement 

744
00:54:34,240 --> 00:54:41,000
standing outside the gates of 
the embassy that he could no 

745
00:54:41,000 --> 00:54:44,120
longer tolerate nor support his 
government. 

746
00:54:44,120 --> 00:54:47,800
The one that he serves as an 
active duty officer in the US 

747
00:54:47,800 --> 00:54:53,160
Air Force could no longer be any
kind of a participant in 

748
00:54:53,160 --> 00:54:56,320
something that is a slaughter of
civilians. 

749
00:54:57,360 --> 00:55:03,960
That is a form of genocide. 
And so he asked those who are 

750
00:55:03,960 --> 00:55:07,600
standing there on the sidewalk 
to do what they could do to free

751
00:55:07,600 --> 00:55:10,160
Palestine. 
Support the Palestinian people 

752
00:55:11,000 --> 00:55:16,280
Do not support our war that 
we're funding against these 

753
00:55:16,400 --> 00:55:21,400
innocent civilians. 
And then took some, I assume 

754
00:55:21,400 --> 00:55:27,600
some kind of petrol and doused 
himself with it, struck the 

755
00:55:27,600 --> 00:55:34,600
lighter and set himself on fire.
Now as I'm recording this, as of

756
00:55:34,600 --> 00:55:39,160
you know, late Sunday night they
said that he was still alive. 

757
00:55:39,480 --> 00:55:42,120
They had taken him to the 
hospital with serious burns, 

758
00:55:42,440 --> 00:55:52,200
life threatening burns. 
This is not the kind of protest 

759
00:55:52,760 --> 00:55:58,800
anybody wants to see. 
And I hope this man who served 

760
00:55:58,800 --> 00:56:03,880
his country here lives. 
I hope his family's OK. 

761
00:56:08,440 --> 00:56:13,960
You know, it's got to be pretty 
bad if somebody has to go to 

762
00:56:13,960 --> 00:56:20,360
that extent to have their voice 
heard. 

763
00:56:26,880 --> 00:56:33,960
Man, we live in a dark time and 
none of us want any of this to 

764
00:56:33,960 --> 00:56:36,720
continue. 
It has to stop. 

765
00:56:38,400 --> 00:56:44,480
President Biden, you and you 
alone can stop this. 

766
00:56:46,920 --> 00:56:50,400
Nobody else is standing with 
Netanyahu. 

767
00:56:51,360 --> 00:56:56,040
All around the world, all sorts 
of people, all sorts of 

768
00:56:56,040 --> 00:56:59,120
political beliefs, religions, 
races. 

769
00:57:01,600 --> 00:57:08,040
It's you. 
And in the polls are going to 

770
00:57:08,040 --> 00:57:15,920
open in another 24 hours here, 
and people like me, and there's 

771
00:57:15,920 --> 00:57:18,840
going to be thousands of them 
are going to mark uncommitted. 

772
00:57:19,240 --> 00:57:20,440
They're not going to vote 
against you. 

773
00:57:22,120 --> 00:57:27,240
Well, some will, but generally 
it's to send a message to you 

774
00:57:28,360 --> 00:57:33,160
that there are going to be many 
people who are not going to vote

775
00:57:33,480 --> 00:57:36,000
in November. 
They're just not going to show 

776
00:57:36,000 --> 00:57:37,600
up. 
That's the worst thing that can 

777
00:57:37,600 --> 00:57:41,440
happen. 
You've got to do the right 

778
00:57:41,440 --> 00:57:45,880
thing, Not token stuff like 
you've been doing, like, oh, 

779
00:57:45,880 --> 00:57:48,680
you're not going to deport any 
Palestinians from the US for the

780
00:57:48,680 --> 00:57:52,840
next 18 months. 
That's not what is needed. 

781
00:57:52,840 --> 00:57:55,800
What is needed right now is to 
pull the plug. 

782
00:57:59,360 --> 00:58:03,600
Pull the plug on the slaughter, 
Pull the plug on the genocide. 

783
00:58:03,600 --> 00:58:08,120
Pull the plug on the apartheid. 
These are not my words. 

784
00:58:08,800 --> 00:58:11,840
These are the words from Jewish 
Voice for Peace. 

785
00:58:12,000 --> 00:58:14,720
These are the words of the UN. 
These are the words from leaders

786
00:58:14,720 --> 00:58:18,800
all over the world who like you 
and support you. 

787
00:58:20,200 --> 00:58:24,240
And have supported Israel. 
That's it though. 

788
00:58:24,600 --> 00:58:27,160
They're done. 
They're done with this. 

789
00:58:27,960 --> 00:58:33,200
No more money for armaments. 
No more military money until 

790
00:58:33,200 --> 00:58:38,920
this thing is resolved. 
And if you don't agree with me, 

791
00:58:38,920 --> 00:58:43,760
I understand, I respect you. 
But hopefully you've got to know

792
00:58:44,480 --> 00:58:49,360
that the jig is up here, the 
game's over. 

793
00:58:52,000 --> 00:58:57,400
Nobody's going to support this 
kind of madness anymore other 

794
00:58:57,400 --> 00:59:02,760
than mad people. 
That's not me. 

795
00:59:03,280 --> 00:59:05,240
And that's not the majority of 
Michiganders. 

796
00:59:06,160 --> 00:59:11,080
And I know a lot of people will 
have a hard time marking 

797
00:59:11,080 --> 00:59:14,720
uncommitted on Tuesday. 
You'll still get to vote for 

798
00:59:14,720 --> 00:59:19,720
Biden in November. 
We're going to do everything to 

799
00:59:19,720 --> 00:59:25,040
make sure Trump doesn't win. 
But now it's kind of out of our 

800
00:59:25,040 --> 00:59:28,960
hands because too many people, 
not you and I necessarily, but 

801
00:59:28,960 --> 00:59:30,760
too many people have already 
made-up their minds. 

802
00:59:30,760 --> 00:59:34,640
They're not going to vote for 
Trump, but they're not going to 

803
00:59:34,640 --> 00:59:41,160
show up. 
I ask everybody to, especially 

804
00:59:41,160 --> 00:59:46,320
my fellow Michiganders, come 
Tuesday, send a message, a 

805
00:59:46,320 --> 00:59:49,760
strong message. 
And let me tell you, by doing 

806
00:59:49,760 --> 00:59:54,760
this, you're saving Biden too. 
You're saving Biden from 

807
00:59:54,760 --> 00:59:59,400
himself. 
He made the wrong decision going

808
00:59:59,400 --> 01:00:04,080
and hugging a monster, and he 
won't. 

809
01:00:04,480 --> 01:00:07,240
He won't undo that for some 
reason. 

810
01:00:09,560 --> 01:00:12,160
It can't be because he doesn't 
want another four years, right? 

811
01:00:12,160 --> 01:00:17,560
It's not that because any sane, 
intelligent person knows that 

812
01:00:17,560 --> 01:00:22,280
what he's doing is risking the 
return of Donald Trump. 

813
01:00:27,520 --> 01:00:29,240
Call any family or friends you 
have. 

814
01:00:29,480 --> 01:00:31,520
Text them. 
E-mail them who live in 

815
01:00:31,520 --> 01:00:33,560
Michigan. 
Tell them to vote in the 

816
01:00:33,560 --> 01:00:41,080
Democratic primary on Tuesday 
and to mark uncommitted the left

817
01:00:41,080 --> 01:00:46,160
time in November once Biden 
fixes what he's done, stops the 

818
01:00:46,160 --> 01:00:51,240
damage to vote for Joe Biden and
to stop Donald Trump. 

819
01:00:52,000 --> 01:00:56,800
But Tuesday, we have an 
immediate mission, and that is 

820
01:00:56,800 --> 01:01:00,160
no more killing children, 
babies. 

821
01:01:01,160 --> 01:01:03,320
No more trying to push them into
the desert. 

822
01:01:07,760 --> 01:01:12,680
President Biden, you have to do 
the right thing. 

823
01:01:14,840 --> 01:01:24,880
Please let us help you. 
I hope you wake up on Wednesday 

824
01:01:24,880 --> 01:01:35,600
morning to a brutal awakening. 
We're different in Michigan. 

825
01:01:38,280 --> 01:01:54,240
It's easy or it's not easy. 
But we have a long history and 

826
01:01:54,240 --> 01:02:01,480
you have to listen to Michigan. 
This is Michael Moore. 

827
01:02:01,480 --> 01:02:05,120
This is my podcast, Rumble. 
Thanks to my executive Producer 

828
01:02:05,120 --> 01:02:08,520
and editor Angela Vargos, and to
all of you who are listening, 

829
01:02:09,200 --> 01:02:14,560
and especially to all of my 
friends, family, neighbours in 

830
01:02:14,560 --> 01:02:20,080
the state of Michigan. 
We can stop the killing if we 

831
01:02:20,080 --> 01:02:22,640
send the message. 
Be well, everyone. 

832
01:02:23,800 --> 01:02:54,600
Peace 
the.
