this is an emergency podcast system edition of Rumble, with
Michael Moore, I'm Michael more minutes ago, the United States
Supreme Court issued, Jude one of the most appalling
anti-democracy rulings in the history of this country.
A crime against humanity has taken place with this ruling And
all of us, all of us need to rise up right now.
Non-violently to bring an end to this, this brutal assault
against women who've had their god-given rights to control
their own. Bodies seized from them just
minutes ago. Stolen.
Taken by a group of Thieves known as the US Supreme Court
who have forced once again women in this country in the second
class, citizenship, a class they have held since the founders
wrote that all men are created equal.
But even that wasn't true because to be considered equal
back, then you had to own property and you had to be
white. It's always been a lie and the
lie was just confirmed again today just now I'm so upset, we
knew this was coming. The ruling was leaked a couple
of months ago probably many of us were hoping against hope that
the outcry over this would have forced these justices or at
least some of them to change their minds to understand that
the majority of the American people do not agree with making
abortion. Portion illegal well over
seventy percent of this country. In the last few months.
Has made it clear that they not only want abortion to remain
legal and available. They are appalled that this
court hasn't even carved out an exemption for women who are
raped victims of incest, or in the case of if the mother's life
is in jeopardy. Over 90% of Americans, favor,
legal abortion. If it means that the mother may
lose her wife, of course. But that is not how the court is
ruled today. This court, 1/3 Trump appointed
two-thirds raised Catholic, has imposed Trump's hatred and
treatment of women on the entire nation with this ruling and
worse than that in a nation. Founded on the principle of
separation of church and state. This court has adopted the
belief systems of a religion and now imposed it on the entire
nation. Every citizen of this country
has just been told by the US Supreme Court that we will now
be forced to follow the edicts and the orders of the Catholic
Church. Which has told a lie for decades
that a fertilized egg is an actual human being.
And the born-again Protestants have clung right onto the same
lie. Why do they think they can get
away with this? Because they want a legal way to
control women, that's what it comes down to.
It's about the entire life of this country, wanting to keep
women in their place, not give them the vote, make them
Servants of who they're married to not let them own property.
Not let them take a loan out from the bank.
I mean, this is just going on since the beginning, and it's
all come down to one issue, control control.
Roll women. And they've been told today by
this court that they will no longer be in charge of their own
selves. This ruling says that if you get
pregnant, you will give birth. If you become pregnant by
accident, it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter, you will be
forced into motherhood against your will.
This is the court, literally tying women down and forcing
them to bring a fertilized egg and a fetus to term.
And birth that baby. Unbelievable.
The men who have run this lie, the men on this court, what they
all have known for very, long time.
Is that if you can control women's bodies, you can control
their lives. Fuck.
Do they think they are? And who are we if we allow this
to continue Who are we? A couple days ago.
I had this idea. I came across this this
incredible document that I'd read years ago, I'd forgotten
about it. It's really considered the first
feminist documents long before the word feminist, even existed
from the 1700s. it was written by a French woman at during
around the time of the French Revolution she was a very active
participant and a hero of the French Revolution and in 1791
what she saw happening as the people were winning the
revolution that the men in the revolution, we're going to form
a new government, a new country of France, where men would call
the shots men would be in charge Women would be second-class
citizens, would not have a say and she was so appalled that she
and other women had risked their lives to bring down the king.
And now to be told as women to shut up step aside and she would
have none of it. And so she wrote this incredible
document, you've probably heard of this, the Declaration of the
rights of women. This was written in 1791, the
woman's name was Alum to Googe. She was well, known she was
beloved, she was a fighter And she'd seen enough.
This declaration of the rights of women became so popular
amongst the women in the revolution in France and women
started demanding their equal rights and the men were so
frightened of this. They had Alum too gauche
arrested for writing something. So outrageous.
And they gave her a very quick trial.
And then they took her to the guillotine.
And beheaded her. This person who's considered the
original feminists in the world. She risked her life to write
these words and ended up losing her life because of what she
wrote demanding that women be treated equally And when you
read it, you think, oh my God, to turn 30 years later and we're
talking about the same stuff. So I had this idea to ask a few
friends of mine or women, if they would like to read this
declaration of the rights of women, and that I would, I would
post it when the Supreme Court announced their decision to
remind us of how long this struggle has been.
And to let our generation. Now take the stand that needs to
be taken an end and this discrimination, this hatred of
women once and for all. And so a few of my friends they
recorded this in their own voice.
The One You're Going to Hear now is the reading by Francesca
Fiorentina, who is a journalist, a comedian and you know her from
her own podcast which is an incredible podcast.
It's called the bitchu ation room.
So give a listen. Remember you're listening to
words that were written in 1791? I'm going to turn this over now.
This is my friend Francesca Fiorentina.
Declaration of the rights of Women written by oh lamp de
gauche hero of the French Revolution 1791.
Men are you capable of being fair?
A woman is asking at least you will allow her that right?
Tell me what gave you the Sovereign right to oppress my
sex, your strength, your talents, observe the Creator,
examine nature in all its Grandeur and give me if you dare
a pattern for this tyrannical. Power Reconsider animals consult
the elements study, plants search excavate and discover if
you can sexual characteristics in the workings of nature
everywhere, you will find them intermingled everywhere.
Cooperating harmoniously within this Immortal Masterpiece, only
man has cobbled together a rule To exclude himself from this
system. Bizarre blind, puffed up with
the crassest ignorance. He wants to command like a
dictator, a sex that is blessed with every intellectual faculty.
He feigns to rejoice in the revolution and demands its equal
rights, and then to say nothing more This is our Declaration of
the rights of women and the female citizen.
Mothers Daughters sisters representatives of the nation.
All demand to be constituted into a National Assembly.
Given that ignorance disregard or the disdain of the rights of
women are, the only causes of public Misfortune and the
corruption of governments, we have decided to make known in a
solemn declaration, the natural inalienable and sacred rights of
women. From this day forth, the sex
that is Superior in Beauty as it is in courage, during the Pains
of childbirth, recognizes and declares in the presence and
under the auspices of the Supreme, Being the following
rights of women and the female citizen.
Article 1, women are born free and remain the equal of men in
rights. Article 2, the purpose of all
political organizations must be the protection of the natural
and unchallengeable rights of women.
And man, these rights are Liberty, property, security, and
above all the right to resist oppression.
Article 3, the principle of sovereignty is vested primarily
in the nation, which is what the union of women and men, no body.
No individual can exercise Authority.
That does not explicitly emanate from it article for liberty and
justice exists to Render unto others.
What is theirs? Therefore, the only limit
preventing women from exercising, their natural rights
is the Perpetual tyranny of men. That opposes it.
These limits must be reformed by the laws of nature and reason
Article 5 the law must embody, the will of the majority article
6, all female, and all male citizens being equal and law
must be equally entitled to all public honors positions and
employment, according to their capacities, and with no other
distinctions than those based solely on talent and virtue.
article 7, women and men are subject to the same rule of law
and if accused of a crime are entitled to the same due process
of law, Article 8, none must fear, expressing their opinions.
However, fundamental Article 9, the free expression of thoughts.
And opinions is one of the most precious rights of women, any
female citizen can therefore freely and truthfully declare.
I am the mother of your child without a barbarous Prejudice,
forcing them to hide the truth article, 10 guaranteeing, the
rights of women and the female citizen will be a great benefit.
Duh, this guarantee must be instituted for the good of all
and not just to the benefit of those individuals.
To whom it is entrusted article, 11 property belongs to both
sexes, United or separated for each.
It is an absolute and sacred right article. 12 all taxpaying
citizens, have the right to hold accountable every public agent
of the administration. Article 13.
No Society can have a constitution if rights are not
guaranteed or the separation of powers not determined, the
Constitution is worthless. If the majority that make up the
nation, women have not participated in its drafting, we
women declare this on this date, the 15th of September in this
year of Our Lord 1791. the fact that we are still dealing with
us, Is shameful and it's an outrage.
This is one of the worst Abominations ever committed by
this country, right? After the genocide of the native
people where we stole this country, after the enslavement
of black human beings that built this country today to declare
that women are not equal citizens.
They don't have equal protection.
Men get to have control over their bodies, but women don't
simply because they're women, no way.
No way. We all need to be out in the
streets today. There's so much stuff going on
here in the last few minutes. Everybody's online, everybody's
talking to everybody else. About what we've got to do today
tonight. There's a place called we won't

response. The likes of which they have not

do not respond immediately today tonight the rest of this week
and month and however long it takes to let them know that we
the majority of Americans somewhere between 70 and 80% of
us disagree with this ruling. There are people calling for a
general, women's strike at women, simply shut the country
down, don't go to work. Don't participate think of what
would happen to the economy if even just a small percentage of
women refuse to show up and participate.
As Ruth Bader Ginsburg said, take your boot off, our necks.
And once again, that boot has been put there. and if we stand
by and say nothing and do nothing, well then who are we
Whoever that is, I don't want to be part of it.

same way. We will not let this stand.
