1
00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:28,240
The world is my express you 
across all my desire. 

2
00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:35,680
Jesus blessed me with his future
and I'm protected with fire. 

3
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:39,840
So raise your fist and March 
around. 

4
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:43,160
Just don't take what you need. 
Rochelle and Perry, those 

5
00:00:43,160 --> 00:00:45,360
committed and smother the rest 
in green. 

6
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:48,480
Throw with me until tomorrow. 
I'll try and get through your 

7
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:51,000
grave. 
I'm deep inside your shoulders. 

8
00:00:51,000 --> 00:01:12,640
I must swear you in my name. 
Yes, my friends, that is Rage 

9
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:16,440
Against the Machine. 
And I'm Michael Moore. 

10
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:18,600
You're listening to Rumble with 
Michael Moore. 

11
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:23,360
This is my podcast, and we're 
going to We'll take a few 

12
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:27,320
moments tonight as Rage was just
inducted into the Rock and Roll 

13
00:01:27,320 --> 00:01:31,040
Hall of Fame a little over a 
month ago, and the acceptance 

14
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:36,560
speech given by Rage's guitarist
Tom Morello was one of the 

15
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:39,880
greatest things I've ever heard,
given in front of a microphone 

16
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:42,600
or from a stage. 
And I want to share it with you.

17
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:46,320
So we'll get to that in just a 
couple of minutes. 

18
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:50,560
In the meantime, I just want to 
let you know that I've been 

19
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:55,080
working on something here and 
hopefully I'll I'll have it 

20
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:59,360
ready in the next week or two. 
It's about what we've all been 

21
00:01:59,880 --> 00:02:05,440
filled with, sorrow over and 
anger and rage. 

22
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:12,000
And that's what's going on in 
Gaza, a mass slaughter of, as 

23
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:17,520
I'm recording this, over 17,000 
people, possibly upwards to half

24
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:22,400
of them children. 
It happened and is happening at 

25
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:27,000
the hands of the Israeli army. 
Israeli citizens on October 7th 

26
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:34,720
were met with a slaughter in 
southern Israel by militants 

27
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:41,760
from Hamas Palestinian group, 
who is committed to removing the

28
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:48,720
2.3 million Gazans from the 
large outdoor prison that has 

29
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:52,320
been created there by the 
Israeli government. 

30
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:55,880
It's it's been a shocking thing 
to see. 

31
00:02:55,880 --> 00:03:01,800
It's been a very sad thing to 
witness and it needs to stop. 

32
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:08,280
The slaughter needs to stop. 
Hamas does not need to kill 

33
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:15,760
anyone else and the Israeli army
does not need to try to wipe out

34
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:20,920
the Palestinian people. 
This is just madness. 

35
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:23,240
So I've been working on 
something. 

36
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:26,560
I've been trying to figure this 
out on my own, trying to come up

37
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:30,840
with what we should do, what we 
can do, how we can bring this 

38
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:33,600
hate and the slaughter to an 
end. 

39
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:38,920
I think a lot of you I hope will
appreciate the thinking that I'm

40
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:43,360
putting together on this. 
And and to sort of answer the 

41
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:50,960
everyday what we're watching on 
the news, the sort of weird PR 

42
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:56,160
campaign that's going on, on one
end watching the president of 

43
00:03:56,160 --> 00:04:01,200
our country, our country don't 
as the bank sends billions of 

44
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:06,240
dollars to Israel every year. 
The idea of that, I think there 

45
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:10,000
in the early years was to try 
and support and be there for the

46
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,000
people that had faced their own 
slaughter. 

47
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:19,560
Mass executions of the Holocaust
back in the 1930s and 40s and 

48
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:22,600
when the war was over. 
A desire amongst good people in 

49
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:31,040
the world to help the survivors 
of that madness somewhere we, 

50
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:39,400
everyone, others, lost our way 
once again and now it's just 

51
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:44,400
it's just this what we're 
watching every night on the 

52
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:50,200
television. 
So I hope you will look forward 

53
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:52,960
to this. 
It should be coming together 

54
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:56,800
here and like I said in the next
week or so here on this podcast 

55
00:04:56,800 --> 00:05:00,120
and also on my sub stack. 
If you're not signed up for my 

56
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:03,560

59
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:13,760
be letting you know about what's
coming here in the next week or 

60
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:19,560
so and we'll see maybe if I have
a a good idea or two that can 

61
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:23,640
bring the slaughter to an end 
and to stand up for the people 

62
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:27,880
who have not that many people 
standing up for them these days.

63
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:32,960
So I hope you join with me in in
doing that. 

64
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:40,640
What we're going to do today on 
the podcast is to play the 

65
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:46,840
acceptance speech from lead 
guitarist Tom Morello of Rage 

66
00:05:46,840 --> 00:05:50,560
Against the Machine as Rage was 
inducted into the Rock and Roll 

67
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:52,800
Hall of Fame a little over a 
month ago. 

68
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:56,720
I really want you to to listen 
to this. 

69
00:05:57,240 --> 00:06:04,120
It blew me away as I watched him
there on the stage say the 

70
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:09,000
things that don't usually get 
said, speak directly to the 

71
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:13,560
people, the hard working people,
the barely working people, the 

72
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:18,240
working poor of this country, of
the world. 

73
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:25,960
Very few people take their side 
and this band has done that for 

74
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:29,120
so many years. 
They have had some reunion 

75
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:32,320
concerts, you know, I think we 
all hope that they will get back

76
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:36,560
together again someday. 
I became very good friends with 

77
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:39,000
them. 
I admired them greatly. 

78
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:44,200
They were inspiring to me. 
I ended up doing AI don't know, 

79
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:46,720
two or three music videos for 
them. 

80
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:52,280
Sleep Now in the Fire and 
testify and it's they were great

81
00:06:52,280 --> 00:06:55,280
to work with. 
You can Google them or get them 

82
00:06:55,280 --> 00:06:57,920
on YouTube and watch them if 
you'd like. 

83
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:07,240
But man, brave, bold, brash, you
know, take no prisoner's 

84
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:11,920
attitude to stand up and fight. 
Corporate America, to stand up 

85
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:17,360
and fight the the military 
industrial complex to fight 

86
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:20,720
racism and hatred, all forms of 
bigotry. 

87
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:23,600
They just put it right out 
there. 

88
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:28,640
And you know, those of us who 
grew up in the 60s and 70s, you 

89
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:32,760
know, we had our protest music 
as it was called back then, but 

90
00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:36,040
there hasn't really been a lot 
of that in subsequent 

91
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:38,160
generations. 
There's been some of it and some

92
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:42,800
of it has been outstanding. 
But Rage Against the Machine 

93
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:46,800
Wow, 4 albums. 
That's it. 

94
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:51,320
Four studio albums. 
Rage Against the Machine, Their 

95
00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:54,320
first one. 
Evil Empire, The Battle of Los 

96
00:07:54,320 --> 00:08:04,240
Angeles and Renegades. 
Man, the the, the unbelievable 

97
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:07,560
work on just those albums. 
And then they're great tours. 

98
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:11,120
They're live tours. 
The ones I attended were just 

99
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:15,080
mind blowing. 
One time they asked me to come 

100
00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:18,680
up, I was in Detroit to 
introduce them on the stage 

101
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:25,480
before they came out. 
Oh man, to walk out on a stage 

102
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:30,560
and there's like at least 2530 
thousand people there and all 

103
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:34,440
the ones on the floor in a giant
mosh pit and all kinds of stuff 

104
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:40,960
being thrown at the stage. 
It was, it was something I have 

105
00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:43,159
never seen and have not seen 
since. 

106
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:47,240
And I got to I got to I was 
asked to speak at the counter 

107
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:52,320
inaugural, the protest against 
Trump's election the day after 

108
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:58,640
his inauguration in January of 
2017 where everybody wore the 

109
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:01,920
pink hats and the I couldn't, 
you know, I'm standing on that 

110
00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:05,320
stage down by the Capitol 
looking up to the Washington 

111
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:07,960
Monument. 
I can't even see where the crowd

112
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:13,400
ends, meaning there had I know 
that the Earth is round, so at 

113
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:15,200
some point it does start to 
curve. 

114
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:16,840
Well at every point it curves, 
right? 

115
00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:22,680
It's a it's a ball. 
So I really felt like can I not 

116
00:09:22,680 --> 00:09:25,840
see the horizon anymore because 
there's just so many, you know 

117
00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:27,520
there are 1,000,000 plus people 
at that. 

118
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:32,280
So I have. 
I have had the privilege of 

119
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:39,680
seeing what that looks like, But
30,000 people at a Rage Against 

120
00:09:39,680 --> 00:09:42,480
the Machine concert is its own 
thing. 

121
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:47,000
And I was lucky to be able to be
part of that, lucky to be able 

122
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:48,800
to make these music videos for 
them. 

123
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:51,680
They're good souls. 
They're still with us. 

124
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:53,320
They're still making their own 
music. 

125
00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:55,760
And I can't wait to hear more of
it. 

126
00:09:57,040 --> 00:10:02,920
So to all of you who are part of
this band, Zach de la Roca, the 

127
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:07,680
incredible vocalist and 
lyricist, Brad Wilk the drummer,

128
00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:13,960
Tim Cummerford a bass player, 
and Tom Morello, the guitarist. 

129
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:18,080
I hope you guys all know what an
inspiration you've been to so 

130
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:22,600
many people. 
And we don't want your voices to

131
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:26,840
ever go silent. 
So please, a humble plea from 

132
00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:32,200
all of us to keep that going, to
keep testifying. 

133
00:10:34,680 --> 00:10:38,960
So before we get to Tom 
Morello's acceptance speech at 

134

Thank you so much Shopify for 

161
00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:26,000
supporting my work. 
All right. 

162
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:31,240
I think it's time we we turn 
this over to Mr., Tom Morello, 

163
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:37,480
league guitar player and overall
great guy, guru of the band. 

164
00:12:37,560 --> 00:12:43,120
And again, this was just an 
amazing thing at the Barclays 

165
00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:46,720
Center just a little over a 
month ago when Rage Against the 

166
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:50,400
Machine was inducted into the 
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. 

167
00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:55,240
Tom Morello was there to accept 
the honor and to share it with 

168
00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:58,840
all his fans. 
So without any further ado, 

169
00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:03,320
let's turn this over to Tom 
Morello from Rage Against the 

170
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:08,800
Machine. 
My name my name is Tom Morello 

171
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:11,240
and I'm 1/4 of Rage Against the 
Machine. 

172
00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:18,880
I am deeply grateful for the 
musical chemistry I've had the 

173
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:22,320
good fortune to share with Brad 
Wilk, Tim Comerford, and Zac de 

174
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:24,240
La Rocha. 
Like most bands, we have 

175
00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:27,800
differing perspectives on a lot 
of things, including about being

176
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:32,600
inducted into the Rock Hall. 
My perspective is that tonight 

177
00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:35,760
is a great opportunity to 
celebrate the music and the 

178
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:38,880
mission of the band. 
To celebrate with the 5th member

179
00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:41,480
of the band and that is Rage 
Against the Machines. 

180
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:47,880
Incredible fans, you're the 
reason we are here, and the best

181
00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:51,720
way to celebrate this music is 
for you to carry on that mission

182
00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:54,360
and that message. 
The lesson I've learned from 

183
00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:57,560
RAGE fans is that music can 
change the world. 

184
00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:01,000
Daily, I hear from fans who have
been affected by our music and 

185
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:03,720
in turn, have affected the world
in significant ways. 

186
00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:07,400
Organizers, activists, public 
defenders, teachers, the 

187
00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:11,560
presidents of Chile and Finland 
have all spent time in our mosh 

188
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:16,400
pit. 
When protest music is done 

189
00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:20,800
right, you can hear a new world 
emerging in the songs, skewering

190
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:23,880
the oppressors of the day and 
hinting that there might be more

191
00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:25,640
to life than what was handed to 
us. 

192
00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:29,360
Can music change the world? 
The whole fucking aim is to 

193
00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:32,840
change the world, or at a bare 
minimum, to stir up a shit load 

194
00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:38,960
of trouble. 
When Rage started, we rehearsed 

195
00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:42,000
deep in the San Fernando Valley.
This guy passed by our place 

196
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:44,840
regularly and one day asked what
are you guys doing in there. 

197
00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:47,560
We said we're a band. 
He asked to hear us and we said 

198
00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:48,880
sure. 
He came in, sat down. 

199
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:52,080
This is the first guy to ever 
hear the music of Rage Against 

200
00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:53,680
the Machine. 
We played him a couple songs. 

201
00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:56,040
After we finished, we asked him 
what he thought. 

202
00:14:56,120 --> 00:15:00,400
He paused, stood up and said, 
Your music makes me want to 

203
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:05,360
fight. 
Throughout history, the spark of

204
00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:07,920
rebellion has come from 
unexpected quarters. 

205
00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:12,200
Authors, economists, carpenters.
But as Salvador Allende said, 

206
00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:15,120
there is no revolution without 
songs. 

207
00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:18,320
So who's to say what musicians 
might or might not be able to 

208
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:21,840
achieve with revolutionary 
intent when the bouncing crowd 

209
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:25,440
makes the Richter scale shape? 
Personally, I'd like to thank my

210
00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:28,880
wife Denise and my kids who 
remind me daily that the world 

211
00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:34,400
is worth fighting for. 
And thanks to all the musicians 

212
00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:37,960
and change makers who helped 
shape the band's collective 

213
00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:39,960
vision. 
Rage has also been fortunate to 

214
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:43,480
have so many talented Co workers
and Co conspirators who have 

215
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:46,080
believed in the band. 
From Michael Goldstone, the guy 

216
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:49,360
who signed us and insisted the 
first radio single be an 

217
00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:54,240
unedited song featuring 17 cuss 
words to the greatest guitar 

218
00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:57,720
tech of all time. 
Slim Richardson, thank you and 

219
00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:01,200
thanks and deep appreciation to 
the hundreds of others, from 

220
00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:04,280
those who put up Flyers to those
who have moved mountains to 

221
00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:06,440
amplify the message and the 
music. 

222
00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:10,520
But I hear in the music is this,
that the world is not going to 

223
00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:13,000
change itself. 
But throughout history, those 

224
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:15,880
who have changed the world in 
progressive, radical, or even 

225
00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:19,680
revolutionary ways did not have 
any more money, power, courage, 

226
00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:23,400
intelligence, or creativity than
anyone watching tonight. 

227
00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:27,280
The world's changed by average, 
everyday, ordinary people who 

228
00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:30,360
have had enough and are willing 
to stand up for a country and a 

229
00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:33,280
planet that is more humane, 
peaceful, and just. 

230
00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:42,600
And that, and that is what I'm 
here to celebrate tonight, fans 

231
00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:45,000
often ask, but what can I do? 
Well, let's start with these 

232
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:47,880
three things. 
One, dream big and don't settle.

233
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:51,040
Two, aim for the world you 
really want without compromise 

234
00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:54,240
or apology. 
And three, don't wait for us. 

235
00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:58,680
Rage is not here, But you are. 
The job we set out to do is not 

236
00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:01,120
over. 
Now you're the ones that must 

237
00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:03,800
testify. 
If you've got a boss, join a 

238
00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:05,560
union. 
If you're a student, start an 

239
00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:07,839
underground paper. 
If you're an anarchist, throw a 

240
00:17:07,839 --> 00:17:09,839
brick. 
If you're a soldier or a cop, 

241
00:17:10,079 --> 00:17:12,640
follow your conscience, not your
orders. 

242
00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:15,520
If you're bummed out you didn't 
get to see Rage Against the 

243
00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:19,440
Machine, then form your own band
and let's hear what you have to 

244
00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:26,040
say. 
If you're a human being, stand 

245
00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:28,440
up for your planet before it's 
too late. 

246
00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:32,440
So tomorrow. 
So tomorrow, crank up some rage 

247
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:35,120
and head out and confront 
injustice wherever it rears its 

248
00:17:35,120 --> 00:17:37,400
ugly head. 
It's time to change the world, 

249
00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:40,640
brothers and sisters, Or at a 
bare minimum, to stir up a shit 

250
00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:46,440
load of trouble. 
And finally, and finally, a 

251
00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:49,840
special thanks. 
A special thanks to my mom, Mary

252
00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:53,920
Morello, a retired public high 
school teacher, a proud Rage 

253
00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:57,960
Against the Machine fan and a 
lifelong radical who turned 100 

254
00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:04,000
years old a couple of weeks ago.
She's watching at home tonight. 

255
00:18:04,120 --> 00:18:10,240
But she asked me to tell you 
this history, like music is not 

256
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:13,320
something that happens. 
It's something you make. 

257
00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:23,360
Thank you very much. 
Wow. 

258
00:18:24,360 --> 00:18:28,480
Powerful man. 
Oh man, was that just amazing? 

259
00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:31,400
Share that with your friends, 
people you work with, people you

260
00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:34,560
go to school with. 
That just was one of the best 

261
00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:38,080
speeches I've I've ever heard. 
It was just amazing. 

262
00:18:38,360 --> 00:18:43,560
And as I said, Tom's been a 
friend for a long time, a good 

263
00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:50,720
soul, a great leader, and an 
overall shit kicker and fighter.

264
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:57,320
For the good I we, all of us, 
thank you, Tom and Brad and Tim 

265
00:18:57,680 --> 00:19:02,880
and Zach for giving us that 
great decade of Rage Against the

266
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:05,840
Machine. 
For what you've gone on to do 

267
00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:10,160
since then, in your various 
endeavours, with Audioslave, 

268
00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:14,520
with Tom and the Night Watchmen 
and Zach, with your solo work, 

269
00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:17,720
your poetry, your activism, 
everything. 

270
00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:20,840
All of you have done what you've
stood and fought for. 

271
00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:24,200
It's been inspiring. 
And I know, like Tom said here 

272
00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:29,720
in his speech, his main hope is 
that one or two or twenty of you

273
00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:34,200
listening to this right now 
decide that it's your time. 

274
00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:39,760
It's your time to have your 
voice heard, to not be afraid. 

275
00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:47,360
I I can't tell you how much I 
endorse this message and my 

276
00:19:47,360 --> 00:19:53,480
sincere hope that you don't just
sit back and say, oh, well, I 

277
00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:57,200
mean, I would never get to have 
my music or my voice or my movie

278
00:19:57,200 --> 00:20:01,080
or whatever heard or seen. 
I mean, I'm just me. 

279
00:20:01,120 --> 00:20:08,480
I'm just sitting here and 
Wilmette IL No, no, I'm going to

280
00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:11,400
tell you, that's the big lie. 
They want you to believe that 

281
00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:16,760
you have no real power, that you
have no ability or means by 

282
00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:20,080
which to reach. 
Thousands or millions of other 

283
00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:23,520
people, you do. 
You hold it right now in your 

284
00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:26,920
hands. 
And I want to personally 

285
00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:29,560
encourage you to make that voice
heard. 

286
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:36,040
Do it. 
All right. 

287
00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:40,080
I hear the band playing. 
So I guess that's my cue. 

288
00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:42,640
Thank you, everybody, for 
listening to the show. 

289
00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:46,000
Thank you to my Executive 
Producer and editor Angela 

290
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:49,360
Vargos, to all the people who've
helped me on this podcast, and 

291
00:20:49,360 --> 00:20:52,920
to all of you who listen to it. 
Much much appreciation. 

292
00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:58,400
Let's go out now once again with
Rage Against the Machine. 

293
00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:16,520
Take care, everyone. 
None. 

294
00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:44,360
A band called The Machine Rages 
on or Rage Against the Machine. 

295
00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:48,520
That band is anti family and 
it's pro terrorists.
