We're inimitable revolution right now.
Shout out to Stacey Abrams. All in the fight with democracy.
Shout out to everybody fighting for the rights of our people.
All in. Bless the tables about to turn.
I said The tables about to turn. The tables about to turn.
Yeah, listen, I've been tripping through my timeline, trying to
get my mind right. My city crying out.
I got to cool down, but I'm under pressure.
Cooking with my crystal. Look at where my fist go.
Hovering again when I'm in a rage.
I got to cool down, but I'm under pressure.
I keep my hands dirty, my mind clean.
Got a new agenda with a new dream.
We kicking out the old regime liberation in elevation
education. I said America use a lie, but
the whole world got to testify. I said the whole world got to
testify and we going to wash them tables and we going to wash
them tables turn, turn, turn. Turn Wow, this is some week
we're having That was Janelle Monáe the song Turntables about
our great country. And I know by the time you're
listening to this, it's what was maybe a day left maybe before
the the election. That's all we're here.
We made it to here. Last time we had an election, we
had a president who thought of overthrowing the government,
overthrowing the election, overturning it, fired up a crowd
of 50,000 people to commit vicious acts of violence, to
threaten the vice president as the speaker of the House.
Oh my God. And we made it through that.
We made it through a lot of stuff in this country.
You think about it, we're going to be 250 years old here in less
than two years. And here we are now.
We're at a real precipice, aren't we?
And I know a lot of you are very nervous, very worried.
I've gotten so much mail from you in the last, really just
even the last few days. And a lot of you, you've been
out working hard. You've been knocking on doors,
you've been making phone calls, you've been giving people rides
to the early voting polls, whole bunches of things you've been
doing to get the vote out. And we've already had record
turnouts at early voting. Women have shown up in droves.
I mean, the stats I saw today, at least 20% more women showing
up than men to vote states they're at anywhere from 55 to
58% of those who are voting are women, and it's like 42 to 45%
are men. Something like that right there.
That should tell you something. You cannot take the rights away
from an entire group of people and expect them not to respond,
especially women. They're the majority of the
country. They're the majority gender.
And in June of 22, the Supreme Court, the Trump Supreme Court
took away their their rights. Talk about basic rights, the
right to your own body and to deal with it in the ways that
you see fit. Nobody has a right and you teach
this to your kids from when they're really little.
No one has a right to touch your body.
That is your body. And if somebody does try to
touch you and won't stop touching you, you were to come
and tell us your parents. Who were we going to tell?
Who were the women of America going to tell after June of 2022
that somebody, somebody's six people on the Supreme Court
touched them without their permission, reached in with the
long arm of the law and touched at their bodies and took away
their right to decide what would happen with their bodies.
Took it away and made it the government's job.
And they would there, the government would be the overseer
of this. And if they attempted anything
that would violate what the six Supreme Court justices said
would be the new law of the land, then there would be
consequences. And there already are all these
abortion bans in all these states.
What's going to happen to a doctor or a nurse if they dare
help a woman that it looks like there might have been a fetus
there. It might have been a, a
survivable fetus. I mean, you know, the the
woman's bleeding there. She's having a horrible
miscarriage. They don't want to treat her
because, well, they don't want to get arrested.
So I get it. I get why there's some record
turn out of women. Trump has no idea, does he?
And I got to tell you, my friends, I just have this
incredible hope and this moment, this day.
Whoa. Turn.
Turn.

I want to play for you something here.
This is just, it's, it's a little example of why I'm in
such a hopeful place right now. But I, I think all this talk
about how close the election is and all that, I don't know.
I mean, I'm, I'm not a soothsayer.
I can't tell you what's going to happen here.
I'm not a pollster. I don't know any of this stuff.
But I got to tell you, I do live in the real world.
I don't live in a bubble. And I think I know what's in the
process of happening right now and what's going to happen as of
well, essentially what it will is tomorrow and I'm going to
play this for you. I've been in New York a lot
lately here and there's a 7 year old here in the neighborhood.
And I know her parents pretty well.
They had just picked her up at school and they'd stop by to see
me for a little bit. And she was all animated because
of this kid in her class. So this would be like a second
grade class. It just come back from seeing
relatives in Washington, DC. And he brought a book back.
And in the book was, I think it was a book of presidents or
whatever she was telling me about American presidents.
And she opened it up and there was the, like, big page of the
46 presidents that we've had. And she was kind of taken aback
by it. She was like, what is this this?
It looked weird to her. She didn't, you know, really
understand it. And I was in the podcast studio
and I asked her parents, hey, would it be OK if I just asked
her a couple questions here on the microphone?
I just like to kind of get this down her her take on things with
seemed really interesting, really smart kid, a voracious
reader already at 7 of books. Always a good sign.
But let's just play this. My 7 year old neighbor here.
My own friend in the school brought in a book in of
Washington by himself in Washington DC and he had pages.
All the presidents and crazy things out there were literally
no woman at all. Wow.
OK, so can we unpack that for a minute here?
What did you think as a young girl?
And there are no women in these 46 presidents.
It's crazy and it's terrible. Like women should be president.
Why? Why do some people think that
women aren't as smart as boys? That's mean.
It's mean, isn't it? Yeah.
Yeah, like, like when the first woman doctor was, people thought
that every, that girls couldn't hold any important things and
they could work as housekeepers in factories.
Right. And Taverns were on farms, but
every penny they earned became the property of their father's
husbands or brothers. Women who were not poor were
expected to stay home and act like ladies, occupying their
sign with pastimes such such as embroidery and music.
You're not reading that, I just want to tell.
People, I did read it. I well, yeah, you obviously read
it, but you remembered it and just told.
Us. Yeah, I read the book today.
You read it today. It's about the first female
doctor, Elizabeth Blackwell. Yeah, I think there was a time
when they would not let women be doctors.
Isn't that crazy? Yeah.
You weren't about to become doctors, employers, bankers or
any other important things. Poor woman.
Do you think that might get better with your generation or?
I think it'll get better. You may have to be 1 of the ones
one of the young women who are going to change it.
Oh jeez, I hope so. Yes, she hopes so.
She hopes that she can be part of making things better.
I just loved hearing that and I got such a big smile on my face.
And then I started to tear up a little bit and I thought, Oh my
God, here it's so many people writing and calling me, Trump's
going to win. This is going to be awful.
What are we going to do? How are we going to survive
this? And I'm thinking, no, no, that
is not going to happen. You got to have some faith.
You got to have some faith in your fellow Americans.
This is we don't live in mega nation.
We live in the United States of America and most people, most
people, not all, but most people are good.
They're good people. They're good at their core.
They know right from wrong. And yes, I know sometimes we
seem like slow learners and all that, but but eventually we come
around, we get it. And I think people are going to
come around with this election. And I think that women, a
tsunami of Women Voters this week and on Election Day here,
I'm very optimistic about this. And of course, I could be wrong,
but I don't think so. I don't think so.
God, I just started to think about, wow, has it dawned on me
that I am going to live to be part of the day, the day where
we have our first woman president 250 years and not a
single woman in the White House. And I got to live long enough to
see this day, really. And what are we going to do with
all that joy? Well, we got a lot of work to
do. We know that we have to undo
more and more of the damage. We have to get this war stopped.
We have to stop funding it in Gaza with Israel.
That's got to stop. There's a whole lot of work in
front of us. All the things that Kamala
Harris wants to accomplish, from taxing the rich to protecting
women to helping people with their student loan debt to the
child tax credit, all the things that helping people buy their
first homes, all these great things that she wants to do.
And we've got to be there. We've got to be there by her
side, have her back, make this happen.
Hopefully, we're in the process of electing both a Democratic
Senate and House so that she'll have the votes she needs.
I mean, I know a lot of people upset about Biden funding the
war and Biden hugging Bibi Netanyahu, but that's not her.
She didn't do that. I've been weirded out a little
bit over the last few weeks about, you know, people blaming
her for the genocide. And I said, wow, that's like the
most anti feminist thing I've heard in a long time.
So basically there was a man, his name was Joe Biden, and he
told the Prime Minister of Israel, you can have whatever
you want. Yeah, we'll keep sending you
billions of dollars. We'll send you billions of
dollars of weapons. I'm going to get on a plane and
come over and give you a big hug.
That was a man that did that and a man that even though when he
warned Netanyahu to stop killing civilians, Netanyahu didn't
listen to him. And so Joe just kept sending him
the money and the bombs. And it was a man that did that.
By the way, you understand that Joe Biden is a man she blamed
for it because she got she was on the ballot, the same ballot
line as he was four years ago. What's she supposed to do now?
Well, she should quit. Oh, really?
What are you, 2? Quit?
No. Are you?
No. He stepped aside.
We got a big gift handed to us. And when she's in the White
House, honest to God, ask yourself seriously, from what?
Maybe we all don't know her that well yet, but just what you've
seen and heard. You think she's just raring to
get into the White House and send more bombs over there?
You think she can't wait to do the big hug, the grin and grip,
give that big kiss to Netanyahu? Do you think that really thinks
she just can't wait to do that? Keep that genocide going?
Oh, get me in that Oval Office. I'll show them what genocide is.
Really. Wow.
Well, I don't think so. And I'd like to know why a woman
is being blamed for what a man has done.
A man. Two men throwing Netanyahu in
there, too. He's actually doing the actual
killing, you know? But if you're the funder, if
you're the funder of the hitman, you're the killer too.
I'm sorry, folks. We know it.
That's the way it is. So I know I focused a lot on
this. I care deeply about it.
I've worked a lot this last month or two to get out the vote
in Michigan knowing that we're probably going to lose 40,000
Arab and Muslim votes in the Detroit and Dearborn areas.
My feeling was we can make that up.
We've got 2 million registered voters in Michigan that are non
voters. They usually don't vote.
So we just need to get a few thousand of them out.
And the people who in 2016 wouldn't vote on the top line on
the ballot for president because they didn't like Hillary and
they didn't like Trump, so they just left it blank.
We just need a few thousand of them. 75,000 people went to
vote. They actually voted and didn't
put a name, didn't mark a name on the top line because they
were so upset that their choices were Trump and Hillary.
Wow, wow, wow, wow. So I'm hoping we found the votes
to make up for the votes of people that cannot in good
conscience because members of their family, their community
were slaughtered, killed children, babies, the elderly.
That horrific footage we've had to watch over and over again of
hospitals being bombed, of that grandmother on her way to Mass
and Israeli sniper just put a bullet in her head.
I don't want you to watch that stuff.
I had to watch it. I watched it.
I saw it. I got the picture.
I know what Netanyahu's been up to.
And you know what? Millions of Israelis know what
he's been up to. He was no good.
They didn't like him. They were protesting to get rid
of him when the slaughter happened there in the kibbutzum
in southern Israel. He got to save his neck.
But I believe, I believe deeply that she is not going to
continue the slaughter. I'm sorry some of you do believe
that. But you know, maybe you're
right, maybe I'm wrong. But I just really right now
wanted to tell you how thrilled I am that I get to live in this
moment. My grandmother was pregnant with
my mother on the day that women received the right to vote back
in 1920. So my mom was conceived when
women were not considered equal citizens, did not have the
rights of humans. And so I've been able to live in
this time where from my mother's time to when they couldn't vote
to now this time where not only my daughter, but my
granddaughter get to live in a different era, except right now
it's an era where they don't get to have a say over their own
bodies. Well, that's about to change
very quickly. You know, I was thinking about
this, about my granddaughter that she's going to, she's going
to actually see the 22nd century.
And just listening to this little neighbor girl here on the
tape, I played you that she knows that she's going to be
part of that change to where it's going to be very different
by the time we hit the year 2100.
Thank God. And you know, those of us right
now, you, me, listen to me. We were there.
November 5th, 2024, she's in.
If you haven't voted, or you've decided not to vote or whatever,
don't miss the moment. Don't sit this one out.
Be able to tell your children and grandchildren and great
grandchildren that you were there on November 5th, 2024.
Where after 250 years of gender apartheid, where women, the
majority gender, were not allowed the power until this
particular moment in this particular year.
And then once in power, passed the laws that needed to be
passed to make sure that this majority gender had equal rights
to the other gender. And we helped make it happen.
You helped make it happen. You don't want to think back to
the that Election Day in 2024 where you were just all grumpy
about everything and Harris wasn't everything you wish she
would be. Who is everything you wish other
than hopefully yourself. Hopefully you're living your
best life and being who you should be, want to be.
But, but I don't know, even the people we're closest to, our
best friends, our spouses, partners, whatever it's, it's
not always going to be your way. They're not always going to be
exactly who you wish they would be.
And you got to live with that, don't you?
I mean, otherwise, I guess all we can live alone, be alone.
That doesn't sound like much fun, does it?
We've all been there. Come on.
No joke.
Not kidding. Not kidding.
Folks, next time you hear my voice, a woman, A woman will be
in charge of this country. I know.
Not officially inaugurated yet, but the American people who have
spoken the election will be certified.
There will be no uprising. Donald Trump will go spend his
years on, I don't know, Epstein Island or Fantasy Island.
What was the name of that TV show?
It doesn't matter. He's gone.
He'll be gone, gone, gone. And I just want to celebrate
this moment. I want to thank you for being
part of it, letting me be part of it with you folks.
Come on. Can we play that song again that
we started the podcast with? Listen to the lyrics of the
song. Oh my God.
And the song itself, it's so powerful.
I saw this as I'm playing the, the the when she did this on
Stephen Colbert, this performance, it's probably a
couple words, probably got bleeped out because of CBS, but
you get the point. It's so beautiful.
Fired me up. I feel fired up today.
I'm ready to do whatever is needed for me to do to finish
the job of this democracy. We have not completed it yet.
We will complete it. This will be seen as the moment
that we made the turn, we turned the table.
We became who we said we were. We the people of the people, for
the people, by the people. Life, liberty, the pursuit of
happiness. Right?
Yeah. Wow.
Let's savor this moment. Let's thank all the women that
showed up in record numbers to stop that which we already had
in the White House and to put somebody in there unlike anybody
we've ever had in there. We can make all of this happen.
We got this far. I'm in.
I'm committed. My fellow men, men of my fellow,
my gender, men of my gender, come on.
This is a great thing for us. Let's be supportive.
Let's rock it out. Let's do this.
Some of you listen to this. We still have a few hours left.
The polls close Tuesday night. Let's put let's put that song
back on. I'm just going to stand up and
dance around the house here. No, don't worry, there's no
video for this podcast, so you're you're spared, but damn,
I feel good. I hope you do too.
We'll get busy after a few weeks and start the work we've got to
do to help her out, to help ourselves out.
Thank you, all of you for being part of this.
Thank you for listening to my podcast, reading my sub stack.
It's a beautiful moment. It is a beautiful, beautiful,
wonderful moment. Thank you.
I'm Michael Moore. This is my podcast.
Talk to you soon. It's a cool rain booming back.
Yeah. You lay the egg now.
Was about to hatch. Yeah, you guys might about to
meet your match if you up the kitchen and you should do the
dishes. We're burning down plantations.
This ain't no parking. I don't need no validation.
I like sage. When I'm in a rage.
I don't need permission. I got my intuition.
I keep my hands dirty, my mind clean.
Got a new agenda with a new dream.
We kicking out the old regime, liberation, elevation,
education. I said America use a lie, but
the whole world about to testify.
I said the whole world about to testify and we going to wash
them tables. Turn, turn, turn.
Ain't no something to me. We turn, turn, turn.
We waited too long. We gotta just turn, turn, turn.
We've seen it all. Now we turn yellow table cut to
turn.
