for president
180
00:12:30,083 --> 00:12:32,836
wasn't such a bad idea
after all.
181
00:12:33,711 --> 00:12:37,056
In fact, it was
a brilliant idea.

happier with this decision
187
00:12:50,812 --> 00:12:52,564
than the nation's media.
188
00:12:53,439 --> 00:12:56,784
Trump was about to become
their cash cow.
189
00:12:57,277 --> 00:13:01,578
And NBC could now
put him on TV for free.
190
00:13:02,949 --> 00:13:04,701
First, he gave them
a good laugh.
191
00:13:04,784 --> 00:13:08,004
We better be ready for the fact that he
might be leading the Republican ticket.

telling them what to do.

00:13:16,754 --> 00:13:19,849
But I want the cameras to span the room.
Go ahead, fellas, watch.

to Morning Joe.

they take you by phone.

"Hi, how are you doing?
How is everything going?"

00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:06,183

by keeping them waiting,

in Portland, Maine.

out now, Craig?

started on time.

to walk over to that...

the better part of a half-hour here.

a kick out of seeing

just how long they'd put a live

If you go back to the rallies,
let me ask you a question.
254
00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:28,428
Did you put the rallies on
because they were of news value
255
00:15:28,511 --> 00:15:29,763
or because they were
driving ratings?

were run by men.

And some of their biggest stars shared
a lot in common with Donald Trump.

has been used a lot

concerning the use
of your personal email.

Why wasn't it disqualifying, if you
want to be commander-in-chief...

She has to learn
to do it with humor,

she's being kind of aggressive.

choice I would do again.

to hold up and came and spoke with me

to go easy on him.

I was playing nice.

different times in my life.

ever a billion dollars in the hole.

million in the negative sense.

which Russian mobsters

bailed him out
of his billion dollar debt,

were you standing in?

one interesting tidbit.

He had seen my movie
Roger & Me.

I loved what he did.

If I was Roger, I wouldn't have
liked it, but I enjoyed it.

does one on me, though.

it's very interesting, Bill,

00:19:16,697 --> 00:19:17,949
because I met Michael
317
00:19:18,032 --> 00:19:20,330
and had dinner with Michael
years ago.
318
00:19:20,576 --> 00:19:22,544
And I found him to be
a really nice guy, great guy.
319

with Donald Trump.

I've been in Trumpland.

Trump's future son-in-law

party for my new movie.
327

I think Michael chooses
very interesting topics,
328
00:19:47,019 --> 00:19:49,488
and I think he's also
one of the great people
329
00:19:49,563 --> 00:19:51,110
of stringing together
an argument.
330
00:19:51,190 --> 00:19:54,319
He does a great job of putting
together a lot of different clippings
331
00:19:54,402 --> 00:19:55,494
and lot of
different information
332

digestible by a lot of people.

Knowing Michael, it would be something
that we're not thinking about

MOORE: Governor Snyder wanted to
flex his new autocratic powers.
486

of the poorest city in the country

Option A was that he could
just leave well enough alone.

After all, for five decades,
the city of Flint
491
00:29:15,045 --> 00:29:17,218
got its water from Lake Huron.

pure glacial lake,

unnecessary pipeline

The only catch was that while the
new pipeline was being built,

switch over from Lake Huron

started to fall out.

Skin rashes appeared
all over their bodies.

00:31:02,110 --> 00:31:03,532
And the children got sick.

Parents whose children
showed no symptoms
525
00:31:06,948 --> 00:31:09,952
were still worried that
they might be sick.
526
00:31:10,035 --> 00:31:14,666
Because as one doctor noticed, nearly
every child had ingested lead.
527
00:31:15,707 --> 00:31:19,211
There is no safe level of lead
in a body of anybody.

It literally drops IQ levels of

in their grandchildren.
539

MOORE: Word of the developing disaster
reached the governor's office.
540
00:32:02,170 --> 00:32:04,889
And so, he quietly dispatched
an aid to Flint
541
00:32:04,965 --> 00:32:07,559
to find out
what exactly was going on.
542
00:32:09,094 --> 00:32:12,223
The report came back
with bad news.
543
00:32:21,773 --> 00:32:24,902

switching immediately
544
00:32:24,985 --> 00:32:26,612
back to the Lake Huron water.
545
00:32:27,487 --> 00:32:29,831
But the governor seemed to
have other thoughts.
546
00:32:30,198 --> 00:32:33,418
Like getting PR people
to make the problem go away.
547
00:32:33,493 --> 00:32:35,120
Water that is
leaving the plant

00:32:35,203 --> 00:32:37,956
is always assured to be
at the top-notch of quality.
549
00:32:39,583 --> 00:32:43,178
MOORE: For the governor, there
was an even greater tragedy.
550
00:32:43,712 --> 00:32:47,808
The Flint River water was
corroding the auto parts
551
00:32:48,675 --> 00:32:50,097
at the General Motors factory.
552
00:32:52,637 --> 00:32:55,811
When the governor heard this,
he blew his top.
553
00:32:56,600 --> 00:32:59,399
After all, General Motors
had donated
554
00:32:59,478 --> 00:33:01,651
hundreds of thousands
of dollars
555
00:33:01,730 --> 00:33:04,404
to the Republican
Governors Association
556
00:33:04,524 --> 00:33:08,620
to help elect candidates
like Rick Snyder,
557
00:33:08,695 --> 00:33:12,074
and here he was,
damaging their property.
558
00:33:12,616 --> 00:33:13,993
For Governor Snyder,
559
00:33:14,075 --> 00:33:16,874
that was a bridge too far.
560
00:33:16,953 --> 00:33:21,550
He immediately ordered the water in Flint
to be switched back to Lake Huron,
561
00:33:22,125 --> 00:33:25,004
but only for
the General Motors factory.
562
00:33:25,879 --> 00:33:29,850
The people of Flint would continue
to drink the poisoned water.
563
00:33:31,259 --> 00:33:32,476
MOORE: Nobody is going
to believe this,
564
00:33:32,594 --> 00:33:36,644
that the one GM factory that's
remaining here in Flint,
565
00:33:36,723 --> 00:33:40,728
they got to hook back up to the
fresh, clean Lake Huron water,
566
00:33:40,810 --> 00:33:41,982
and everybody else...
And we were like,
567
00:33:42,062 --> 00:33:44,315
"Well, what's happening
to our bodies?"
568
00:33:44,397 --> 00:33:46,866
And they went back to,
"it's safe.
569
00:33:46,942 --> 00:33:49,070
"It's meeting all federal
and state guidelines."
570
00:33:50,070 --> 00:33:52,243
And that was like the drum...
571
00:33:52,322 --> 00:33:54,245
MOORE: But the auto parts that
had to be washed in the factory
572
00:33:54,324 --> 00:33:55,997
had to have the clean,
pure water.
573
00:33:56,076 --> 00:33:57,373
Yeah.
From Lake Huron.
574
00:33:57,452 --> 00:33:59,375
Yeah, because profit
reigns supreme.
575
00:34:03,458 --> 00:34:04,880
We didn't own
General Motors.
576
00:34:05,001 --> 00:34:09,302
That's why we didn't get
the clean, safe water.

at this whole Flint water poisoning
578
00:34:16,221 --> 00:34:17,894

don't even own a gun.

is good for the U. S.

why is it that we do not hold
a single seat of power?

not the Senate,
700

not the House,
not the Supreme Court.
701

In 50 of our state capitals,
702
00:40:11,910 --> 00:40:14,834
the Democrats control
only eight of them.
703

Yet, in six of the last seven
presidential elections,
704
00:40:20,501 --> 00:40:21,798
the popular vote
705
00:40:21,878 --> 00:40:24,472
was won by the Democrats.
706
00:40:24,756 --> 00:40:27,009
Which means the Republicans
have won only once
707
00:40:28,009 --> 00:40:30,353

takes place every four years

of the Electoral College

inside baby coffins.
712
00:40:49,113 --> 00:40:53,994
What they should do is bury those ballots
with the Electoral College itself.
713

in our Constitution
714
00:40:57,538 --> 00:41:02,339

slave states over 200 years ago.
715
00:41:04,379 --> 00:41:08,350

be done with this?
716

if the person who gets the most votes
719
00:41:23,022 --> 00:41:24,114
doesn't win.

(APPLAUSE)
721
00:41:26,150 --> 00:41:29,370
So, if the American people
have made it very clear
722
00:41:29,529 --> 00:41:32,032
that they want the Democrats
running the country,
723
00:41:32,865 --> 00:41:34,538
then why aren't they?
724
00:41:35,410 --> 00:41:37,879

a whole range of compromises.
725

726
00:41:41,040 --> 00:41:42,633
We sat down

God bless you,
Speaker Boehner.
731
00:41:51,801 --> 00:41:54,054
MOORE: So, when did all this
compromising start?
732
00:41:55,930 --> 00:41:58,479
As far back as the last
president who said...
733
00:41:58,599 --> 00:42:00,647
Make America great again.
734
00:42:02,353 --> 00:42:04,105
No, not him.
735
00:42:04,188 --> 00:42:06,657
We can make America
great again.
736
00:42:06,733 --> 00:42:09,657
Him, Mr. Bill Clinton.
737
00:42:09,736 --> 00:42:12,034
The man from Hope, Arkansas.
738
00:42:13,031 --> 00:42:14,704
Back in the '80s and '90s,
739
00:42:14,782 --> 00:42:18,412
Republican campaigns were
flush with corporate cash
740
00:42:18,494 --> 00:42:20,337
and they were
winning elections.
741
00:42:20,913 --> 00:42:22,130
The Democrats, meanwhile,
742
00:42:22,206 --> 00:42:24,709
saw their labor base
decimated.
743
00:42:25,334 --> 00:42:26,836
Labor was so lost,
744
00:42:27,670 --> 00:42:30,924
they couldn't even come up with
something to put on their picket signs.
745
00:42:33,134 --> 00:42:38,061
So what better way to get in on the action
than to start acting like a Republican?
746
00:42:40,099 --> 00:42:42,352
Bill Clinton went on a tear,
747
00:42:42,435 --> 00:42:45,939
launching a mass incarceration
of black people,
748
00:42:47,023 --> 00:42:49,117
deregulating the banks
to let them run amok,
749
00:42:50,818 --> 00:42:52,741
shipping a million jobs
to Mexico
750
00:42:52,820 --> 00:42:54,413
under the guise of free trade,
751
00:42:55,782 --> 00:42:58,626
eliminating most welfare
support for the poor,
752
00:43:00,244 --> 00:43:02,918
and making it illegal
to marry someone
753
00:43:02,997 --> 00:43:04,044
of your gender
754
00:43:05,792 --> 00:43:07,920
You might have started
asking yourself
755
00:43:08,252 --> 00:43:11,722
why you should even be participating
in the political process.
756
00:43:13,007 --> 00:43:15,055
Millions began to drop out.
757
00:43:16,344 --> 00:43:19,439
The 100 million
non-voters of America
758
00:43:19,514 --> 00:43:22,939
were essentially the country's
largest political party.
759
00:43:24,143 --> 00:43:27,738
Yet neither the Democrats nor the
Republicans sought their vote.
760
00:43:28,648 --> 00:43:31,151
As the Democrats became
more like Republicans,
761
00:43:32,610 --> 00:43:34,738
so did the entire
liberal establishment,

water isn't the only
source of lead,
853
00:49:08,195 --> 00:49:11,039
and so, we need to make sure we're
encouraging people to look at other places

This is April Cook-Hawkins.
857
00:49:21,959 --> 00:49:24,508
She was asked to participate
in the cover-up.
858
00:49:24,795 --> 00:49:26,923
APRIL COOK-HAWKINS: I was the case
manager here in Flint, Michigan.
859
00:49:27,798 --> 00:49:30,893
AH of the results in regards
to the blood levels,
860
00:49:30,968 --> 00:49:34,814
I inputted those numbers and made sure
all of those numbers were correct.
861
00:49:35,723 --> 00:49:38,101
MOORE: And while doing so,
she discovered that
862
00:49:38,184 --> 00:49:40,607
the government officials
had cooked the books.
863
00:49:41,687 --> 00:49:46,739
My supervisor asked if I would go in
and help them out with the numbers
864
00:49:47,943 --> 00:49:49,866
and not show certain things.
865
00:49:50,488 --> 00:49:53,162
If someone came in
and they test high,
866
00:49:53,240 --> 00:49:56,870
the Health Department didn't
want that number to be shown.
867
00:49:57,328 --> 00:50:01,458
MOORE: She began secretly making
printouts of the falsified records
868
00:50:01,540 --> 00:50:05,716
and was afraid to show them to
anyone until she brought them to me.
869
00:50:06,170 --> 00:50:09,674
MOORE: This is an actual document
that you kept as a piece of evidence.
870
00:50:10,049 --> 00:50:12,552
Yes. The normal number is 3.5.
871
00:50:12,635 --> 00:50:16,515
And anything over a 3.5 is
considered a high lead level.

Yeah.

00:50:37,451 --> 00:50:40,204
And I said, "So let's just
call the parents and re-test,"
880
00:50:40,287 --> 00:50:41,789
and they said,
"No, we can't do that.

taking immediate action to help the child

that the water had lead levels
above what was acceptable,

of electoral insanity
1185
01:07:36,094 --> 01:07:39,644
is trying to re-elect these
same guys over and over again
1186
01:07:39,722 --> 01:07:41,816
and expecting our country
to be any different.
1187
01:07:41,891 --> 01:07:44,269
For the first time,
Democrats will have
1188
01:07:44,352 --> 01:07:46,821
an all-female
statewide ticket.
1189
01:07:46,896 --> 01:07:48,193
And on that list,
1190
01:07:48,273 --> 01:07:49,570
Rashida Tlaib,
1191
01:07:49,649 --> 01:07:53,244
she's poised to become the first
Muslim woman in Congress...
1192
01:07:53,319 --> 01:07:55,413
TLAIB: We're not ready
to give up on the party,
1193
01:07:55,488 --> 01:07:57,115
we're just
ready to take it over.
1194
01:07:57,240 --> 01:07:58,708
And let's put some people
in there that get it.
1195
01:07:58,783 --> 01:08:00,535
Because we felt the...
MOORE: Take it over.
1196
01:08:00,660 --> 01:08:02,628
Take it over!
Take it over, Michael.
1197
01:08:03,288 --> 01:08:05,586
MOORE: It was already
being taken over.
1198
01:08:06,833 --> 01:08:10,428
Hundreds, if not thousands
of insurgent candidates,
1199
01:08:10,503 --> 01:08:12,676
many of them women.
1200
01:08:13,006 --> 01:08:15,304
They weren't just running
against Republicans.
1201
01:08:15,550 --> 01:08:19,726
They were running against the
establishment of the Democratic Party
1202
01:08:19,804 --> 01:08:22,933
that has led them to defeat
for so many years.
1203
01:08:23,558 --> 01:08:25,060
This old guard
1204
01:08:25,143 --> 01:08:28,989
had tried to keep the candidates
on the moderate side of things.
1205
01:08:29,105 --> 01:08:32,780
To stay in the center,
to not rock the boat.
1206
01:08:33,359 --> 01:08:35,782
In other words, to lose.
1207
01:08:36,654 --> 01:08:39,624
51% of people
between 18 and 29
1208
01:08:39,699 --> 01:08:41,918
no longer support
the system of capitalism.
1209
01:08:41,993 --> 01:08:43,870
Well, I thank you
for your question,
1210
01:08:43,953 --> 01:08:46,422
but I have to say,
we're capitalists.
1211
01:08:46,497 --> 01:08:48,044
And that's just the way it is.
1212
01:08:48,124 --> 01:08:52,721
MOORE: The "we" who are capitalists,
is she talking about her constituents?
1213
01:08:53,588 --> 01:08:57,809
Or maybe she means the people
who fund the Democratic Party.
1214
01:08:59,218 --> 01:09:01,346
They enlisted their friends
in the media
1215
01:09:01,429 --> 01:09:05,684
to tamp down the Democratic
revolution that was underway.
1216
01:09:05,767 --> 01:09:07,769
I think the party moved
too far to the left.
1217
01:09:07,852 --> 01:09:09,229
Much farther to the left,
1218
01:09:09,312 --> 01:09:11,189
and out of touch with
the working class voters.
1219
01:09:11,272 --> 01:09:13,320
And if her win makes her
1220
01:09:13,399 --> 01:09:16,619
into what Kellyanne Conway
called
1221
01:09:16,694 --> 01:09:18,571
"the new face
of the Democratic Party,"
1222
01:09:18,696 --> 01:09:21,620
the Democratic Party is not going
to have a very bright future.
1223
01:09:24,369 --> 01:09:27,498
MOORE The worst damage
happens behind closed doors,
1224
01:09:27,830 --> 01:09:30,709
where Democratic Party leaders
do their best
1225
01:09:30,792 --> 01:09:33,090
to stamp out
the hopes and dreams
1226
01:09:33,169 --> 01:09:36,969
of those who would like
the Democrats to actually win.
1227
01:09:38,508 --> 01:09:41,387
Take the case
of Levi Tillemann of Colorado,
1228
01:09:41,469 --> 01:09:43,688
a Democrat who was
running for Congress.
1229
01:09:44,097 --> 01:09:47,067
Levi was struggling because
the Democratic leaders
1230
01:09:47,183 --> 01:09:51,438
threw all of the party's money behind a
more moderate, handpicked candidate.
1231
01:09:52,563 --> 01:09:55,066
So Levi secretly recorded
his conversation
1232
01:09:55,191 --> 01:09:59,071
with the number two Democratic
leader in the house, Steny Hoyer,
1233
01:09:59,153 --> 01:10:02,874
who then schooled Levi
on how this all works.

OCASIO-CORTEZ:
Getting on the ballot,
1238
01:10:56,627 --> 01:10:58,971
we ended up rolling
into the Board of Elections,
1239
01:10:59,046 --> 01:11:02,721
and we turned in almost five times
the required amount of signatures.
1240
01:11:02,800 --> 01:11:03,926
On this street?
1241
01:11:04,010 --> 01:11:08,891
We left, and within 15 minutes, these,
like, super high-priced lawyers
1242
01:11:08,973 --> 01:11:12,568
came rolling into the Board of
Elections demanding to pull our files,
1243
01:11:12,685 --> 01:11:15,188
looking through every single one.
MOORE: The Democratic Party.
1244
01:11:15,271 --> 01:11:17,694
Looking through to see
who they could bump off.
1245
01:11:17,774 --> 01:11:20,197
I'm running
a grassroots campaign.
1246
01:11:20,276 --> 01:11:23,200
I'm not accepting money from
Big Pharma and big energy.
1247
01:11:23,321 --> 01:11:26,951
You know, my team. I have received
messages from people all over America
1248
01:11:27,074 --> 01:11:28,576
that say, "Who's running
your campaign?"
1249
01:11:28,659 --> 01:11:30,332
And when I tell them,
they are floored.
1250
01:11:30,453 --> 01:11:31,625
MOORE
What do you mean by who's...
1251
01:11:31,746 --> 01:11:34,374
You mean, like, who's your campaign
director, your finance director...
1252
01:11:34,499 --> 01:11:38,504
My campaign manager drives a truck.
He's a cross-country truck driver.
1253
01:11:38,586 --> 01:11:41,180
Right now, he's in North
Carolina, driving a truck.
1254
01:11:41,255 --> 01:11:43,053
And that's his full-time job?
And he's another person
1255
01:11:43,132 --> 01:11:45,510
that will fist-fight you in the
street for what he believes in.
1256
01:11:45,593 --> 01:11:47,721
Now I have to fist-fight
two of you in the street.
1257
01:11:48,179 --> 01:11:49,726
Fuck, come on man...
(LAUGHS)
1258
01:11:50,014 --> 01:11:52,142
It's how we roll down here
in West Virginia.
1259
01:11:54,143 --> 01:11:57,989
MOORE: You don't have to be ex-military
to have the fighting spirit.
1260
01:11:59,190 --> 01:12:03,070
Sometimes the bravest people are
the ones you'd least expect.
1261
01:12:04,278 --> 01:12:05,655
KATIE ENDICOTT: When you're
a teacher in West Virginia,
1262
01:12:05,738 --> 01:12:08,787
you're so much more
than a teacher.
1263
01:12:08,866 --> 01:12:11,915
We're social workers,
we're mothers.
1264
01:12:11,994 --> 01:12:14,247
I know last year...
I teach seniors,
1265
01:12:14,330 --> 01:12:17,925
there were eight students in my class
that had me in their cell phone as "Mom."
1266
01:12:18,000 --> 01:12:20,048
That was how I was listed
in their contact.
1267
01:12:20,795 --> 01:12:22,797
So... Mom.
MOORE: As "Mom"?
1268
01:12:23,631 --> 01:12:25,929
Yes, you're
the mother figure because
1269
01:12:26,008 --> 01:12:29,512
their mother abandoned them
five years ago.
1270
01:12:29,595 --> 01:12:32,223
Their mother died
of a drug overdose.
1271
01:12:32,306 --> 01:12:34,650
I've had all these situations
that's happened.
1272
01:12:34,767 --> 01:12:37,862
But we still live paycheck
to paycheck simply because
1273
01:12:38,187 --> 01:12:40,610
we don't make
hardly any money.
1274
01:12:41,232 --> 01:12:46,614
MOORE: The teacher's pay in West Virginia
is ranked 48th out of the 50 states.
1275
01:12:47,738 --> 01:12:50,457
Some of these teachers live
below the poverty line,
1276
01:12:50,533 --> 01:12:53,036
and qualify for food stamps.
1277
01:12:53,911 --> 01:12:55,959
ENDICOTT: I think every teacher
in West Virginia knows
1278
01:12:56,038 --> 01:12:59,167
several that are
in that situation.
1279
01:13:00,293 --> 01:13:03,217
MOORE: In addition to teachers
being on food stamps,
1280
01:13:03,296 --> 01:13:05,390
things were about
to get even worse.
1281
01:13:06,382 --> 01:13:09,261
Not only was their health
insurance going to double...
1282
01:13:09,343 --> 01:13:11,641
They also started
this thing called 60365.
1283
01:13:11,762 --> 01:13:14,766
It's a kind of wellness program.
MOORE: Go what?
1284
01:13:15,016 --> 01:13:17,644
ANNOUNCER: Introducing 60365.
1285
01:13:17,727 --> 01:13:19,650
MOORE: To even
get health insurance,
1286
01:13:19,729 --> 01:13:24,610
teachers were being forced to
buy and wear a Fitbit device.
1287
01:13:24,734 --> 01:13:29,831
The Fitbit would track all their
physical activity all the time.
1288
01:13:29,906 --> 01:13:33,752
And if you don't register enough
steps into the online database...
1289
01:13:33,826 --> 01:13:36,670
Then you pay a $500 penalty
at the end of the year.
1290
01:13:37,079 --> 01:13:38,831
You know how weird
this sounds?
1291
01:13:38,915 --> 01:13:42,636
Like, how darkly
strange and wrong?
1292
01:13:42,752 --> 01:13:44,129
Yes.
TEACHER: Yes.
1293
01:13:44,503 --> 01:13:47,973
MOORE: And who's behind this
tracking-the-teachers idea?
1294
01:13:48,758 --> 01:13:50,726
A man named Justice.
1295
01:13:52,261 --> 01:13:54,309
Governor Jim Justice.
1296
01:13:55,848 --> 01:13:58,476
Nobody loves education
more than me.
1297
01:13:59,560 --> 01:14:01,733
Nobody loves our teachers
more than me.
1298
01:14:02,229 --> 01:14:05,324
Tonight in Pineville, a meeting
was held to discuss changes
1299
01:14:05,399 --> 01:14:07,777
to the public employees'
insurance agency.
1300
01:14:07,902 --> 01:14:11,532
MOORE: If the Fitbits could measure
pissed off West Virginian teachers,
1301
01:14:11,989 --> 01:14:14,458
they'd be lighting up
right about now.
1302
01:14:16,327 --> 01:14:19,581
But the leaders of the teachers'
unions weren't much help.
1303
01:14:20,206 --> 01:14:22,709
They discouraged
a statewide strike.
1304
01:14:24,835 --> 01:14:27,258
Our union reps, they've told
us about all the risks.
1305

We could lose our job,
we could lose our seniority.

could lose all these things.

on their own,

it escalated
really quickly.

warned the strike is illegal.

being fined, being fired,

they're proud of that.
1350
01:16:36,675 --> 01:16:40,851
MOORE: The bandanas have a special
meaning going back to the 1920s,
1351
01:16:40,930 --> 01:16:44,480
when tens of thousands
of coal miners went on strike
1352
01:16:45,059 --> 01:16:47,562
wearing red bandanas
around their necks
1353
01:16:47,645 --> 01:16:49,989
to identify themselves
as pro-union.
1354
01:16:50,356 --> 01:16:54,077
And thus, popularizing
the term, "redneck."
1355
01:16:54,193 --> 01:16:56,867
And you might think it might
be a derogatory term,
1356
01:16:56,946 --> 01:16:59,825

that is a term of pride.

That says we will
not back down.

01:17:02,451 --> 01:17:08,208
The labor unions across this country
need to take up the red bandana
1359
01:17:08,707 --> 01:17:11,756

necks and say, "We are tired

all over again.

You know, generally, I have not been
doing stunts here, but, you know.

That's not what I expected.

That's what Snyder did.
1681
01:34:09,936 --> 01:34:14,737
It felt like he minimized what
people are actually going through
1682

1683
01:34:16,609 --> 01:34:18,486
If you were actually
lead poisoned,
1684
01:34:18,987 --> 01:34:22,332
you would not be president. You
would be janitor Barack Obama.
1685
01:34:23,324 --> 01:34:26,453
WOMAN: We were holding onto hope that
he would declare it a disaster area.
1686
01:34:26,536 --> 01:34:29,130
A disaster would give us FEMA,
it would give us
1687
01:34:29,205 --> 01:34:31,958
pipe replacement,
get engineers in here...
1688
01:34:32,041 --> 01:34:34,590
Then we could get Medicare for
all the residents of Flint.

later, it's still poison.

he was my president,
1693

but when he left,
he was not my president.
1694
01:34:52,270 --> 01:34:54,739
SNYDER: I would, again, go back to
the president's visit last week.
1695
01:34:54,814 --> 01:34:57,067
He reinforced the message
that filtered water

for people to drink.

come here and help us.

And it depressed the vote.

01:35:25,428 --> 01:35:28,773
I don't know why anybody would
have advised him to do that.
1706
01:35:28,848 --> 01:35:30,350
I don't know why
he would do it.
1707
01:35:30,475 --> 01:35:32,193
And to the average person,
1708
01:35:32,268 --> 01:35:34,236
then the Democrats
don't look like the people

chose not to vote.

did was pave the way for Donald Trump.

The road to him was

Under President Obama, it became
okay to imprison whistle-blowers

more than all previous
presidents combined.

He used drone strikes
to bomb civilian populations.

And he deported a record number
of immigrants and refugees.

was for President Obama

and have them replaced.

01:43:04,220 --> 01:43:07,224

how to use fake news.

(MAN SPEAKING GERMAN)
1844
01:43:14,939 --> 01:43:17,783
MOORE: Oh, how the crowds
flocked to see him.
1845
01:43:18,067 --> 01:43:19,694
But his Nazi Party
1846
01:43:19,777 --> 01:43:23,247
only won 32% of the seats
in parliament,
1847
01:43:23,322 --> 01:43:25,541
which the Germans
called the Reichstag.
1848
01:43:27,660 --> 01:43:31,085
The popular vote was won by
Germany's left liberal parties.
1849
01:43:32,123 --> 01:43:33,500
Hitler wanted more.
1850
01:43:34,583 --> 01:43:36,881
A few weeks
after his inauguration,
1851
01:43:36,961 --> 01:43:39,384
there was
a terrorist incident.
1852
01:43:39,839 --> 01:43:43,969
Somebody set the German parliament
building, the Reichstag,
1853
01:43:44,051 --> 01:43:45,428
on fire.
1854
01:43:45,511 --> 01:43:50,733
Many believed it was the Nazis who did it,
in order to create a national emergency.
1855
01:43:51,642 --> 01:43:53,440
But Hitler blamed
the communists.
1856
01:43:53,769 --> 01:43:58,900
The communist party was banned, and
their seats in parliament taken away.
1857
01:44:00,568 --> 01:44:02,536
The liberals were vanquished,
1858
01:44:02,611 --> 01:44:05,956
and the public
supported Adolf Hitler
1859
01:44:06,031 --> 01:44:08,125
taking complete control.
1860
01:44:13,622 --> 01:44:18,002
This Jewish weekly in Germany
published a front page editorial
1861
01:44:18,085 --> 01:44:20,929
saying that everyone
should calm down.

MOORE: Back in the US,
The New York Times agreed.
1864
01:44:48,282 --> 01:44:50,535
They reassured
the American people
1865
01:44:50,618 --> 01:44:52,996
that things
would not be that bad.
1866
01:44:55,372 --> 01:44:57,124
They even wrote
flattering articles
1867
01:44:57,208 --> 01:45:00,587
and said that Hitler's
anti-Semitism was not so genuine
1868
01:45:00,711 --> 01:45:02,759
or violent as it sounded,
1869
01:45:02,838 --> 01:45:06,593
and he was merely using
anti-Semitism as a bait
1870
01:45:06,675 --> 01:45:09,144
to catch followers.
1871
01:45:10,846 --> 01:45:14,896
RUTH BEN-GMAT: When you track how people
first reacted to Hitler and Mussolini,
1872
01:45:14,975 --> 01:45:17,103
they said,
"Oh, he's just insane,"
1873
01:45:17,186 --> 01:45:20,190
or the classic thing is that
the elite party, in this case
1874
01:45:20,272 --> 01:45:23,617
the GOP, "We're gonna
invite him in to power,
1875
01:45:23,692 --> 01:45:25,239
"and then we're
gonna control him."

How am I doing? Am I doing okay?
I'm president.
1877
01:45:27,363 --> 01:45:30,412
Hey, I'm president!
Can you believe it, right?
1878
01:45:30,825 --> 01:45:32,452
Over and over in history,
1879
01:45:32,535 --> 01:45:34,754
what has happened is that
these people get invited in,
1880
01:45:34,829 --> 01:45:36,172
they get legitimized,
1881
01:45:36,247 --> 01:45:38,670
and then
they take over the show.

01:45:38,749 --> 01:45:40,001
There's no
Republican Party.
1883
01:45:41,126 --> 01:45:42,503

You threw out an idea that
previously was unthinkable.
1896
01:46:24,920 --> 01:46:30,723
Four years, eight years, or as you
know, FDR, in one case, 16 years.
1897

Should we go back to 16 years?
Should we do that?

can we have that extended?
1899
01:46:35,472 --> 01:46:39,568

grants him sweeping new powers.

circulates, and then it becomes a thing.

1910
01:47:17,014 --> 01:47:21,770
...the papers started saying,
"He's got despotic tendencies."
1911
01:47:22,478 --> 01:47:24,105

And it becomes part
of the discourse.

asked them to.

vote, it's not really democracy.

it's not really democracy.

it's somewhere
we gotta get.

We shall establish,

facts, which before the dark
decade of the Third Reich,
1968
01:49:42,284 --> 01:49:43,911
would have seemed incredible.
1969
01:49:44,495 --> 01:49:49,422
I had a defendant who killed
90,000 Jews and I asked him,
1970
01:49:50,084 --> 01:49:51,461
"Why did you do that?"
1971
01:49:51,960 --> 01:49:53,007

"Hitler knew more than I did,

were planning to attack,

a good chance.
2018

2019

2020
01:52:03,467 --> 01:52:05,435
The media has been
unbelievably dishonest.
2021

of people I've ever met.
2022

I would never kill them.
2024
01:52:12,601 --> 01:52:13,898

No, l wouldn't.

to find a friendly reporter.
2028

NARRATOR:
Questions are not encouraged.
2029
01:52:23,528 --> 01:52:25,121
Don't ask me questions
like that.
2030
01:52:25,239 --> 01:52:26,707
You're not a very good
reporter doing that.
2031
01:52:26,823 --> 01:52:28,541
How can you ask
such a question?
2032
01:52:28,659 --> 01:52:30,878
Do you have a question that
now is a legitimate question?
2033
01:52:30,994 --> 01:52:32,996
How dare you question
the fact?
2034
01:52:33,080 --> 01:52:34,502
I guess
I don't understand.
2035
01:52:34,581 --> 01:52:37,050
If the information coming
from those leaks is real,
2036
01:52:37,167 --> 01:52:39,636
then how can the stories be fake?
TRUMP: The reporting is fake.
2037
01:52:39,711 --> 01:52:42,510
NARRATOR: And if books,
newspapers and the radio
2038
01:52:42,589 --> 01:52:44,057

2039
01:52:44,132 --> 01:52:45,884
Sit down. Sit down.
2040
01:52:45,968 --> 01:52:47,140
Sit down.
2041
01:52:47,219 --> 01:52:48,971
I have the right
to ask a question.
2042
01:52:49,054 --> 01:52:50,897
I have“.No,no,
I'm a reporter, and I have...

Don't touch me, sir.
Don't touch me, sir.

NARRATOR: The people
will read and accept
2045
01:52:55,602 --> 01:52:58,526
exactly what the few
in control want them to.
2046
01:52:58,605 --> 01:53:01,074
But it must be true! I saw
it in this book right here.
2047
01:53:01,191 --> 01:53:03,910
Now that's what I call
a nice question.
2048
01:53:04,278 --> 01:53:06,280
What I say goes, see?
2049
01:53:06,655 --> 01:53:08,623
I'm the law around here.
2050
01:53:08,699 --> 01:53:11,043

(CROWD CHEERING)
2052

BEN-GMAT'. He knows
what he's doing.
2053
01:53:15,998 --> 01:53:19,719
It's the same thing that authoritarians
and fascists have done in the past.
2054
01:53:19,793 --> 01:53:23,013
You need to make sure that
when charges of corruption
2055
01:53:23,088 --> 01:53:27,639
or other wrongdoing come forth,
nobody believes the judiciary.
2056
01:53:27,718 --> 01:53:30,722
We're the only country,
essentially, that has judges.
2057
01:53:30,804 --> 01:53:32,147
BEN-GMAT:
The intelligence services.
2058
01:53:32,222 --> 01:53:34,145
TRUMP: The corruption
at the top of the FBI.
2059
01:53:34,224 --> 01:53:35,567
BEN-GMAT: The press...
Fake news.
2060
01:53:35,642 --> 01:53:37,815
You need to make sure
that they are discredited.
2061
01:53:37,894 --> 01:53:40,363
What you're seeing
and what you're reading
2062
01:53:40,439 --> 01:53:43,113
is not what's happening.
2063
01:53:43,191 --> 01:53:46,695
People believe him, and this is of
course, puzzling to many of his critics.
2064
01:53:46,778 --> 01:53:51,375
But if the strongman, the
authoritarian, has done his job,
2065
01:53:51,450 --> 01:53:54,329
he has bonded people to him
a long time ago.
2066
01:53:54,411 --> 01:53:57,540
And there's Trump, who's doing that
with his rallies and his loyalty oaths.
2067
01:53:57,622 --> 01:53:59,624
Should we do the pledge?
2068
01:53:59,708 --> 01:54:01,176
Raise your right hand.
2069
01:54:01,835 --> 01:54:05,806
Do you pledge that on Tuesday,
you will go...
2070
01:54:05,881 --> 01:54:08,885
To vote for Donald Trump
tomorrow, raise that hand.
2071
01:54:08,967 --> 01:54:11,595
I love you. I love you.
2072
01:54:11,678 --> 01:54:13,430
BEN-GMAT: People don't care
if he's lying.
2073
01:54:15,432 --> 01:54:17,560
They believe in him,
2074
01:54:17,642 --> 01:54:21,112
and that's more important
than believing the truth.
2075
01:54:21,188 --> 01:54:22,906
You've been hearing me say
that it's a rigged system,
2076
01:54:23,023 --> 01:54:24,991
but now I don't say it
anymore, because I won.
2077
01:54:25,067 --> 01:54:26,410
Okay? It's true.
2078
01:54:26,985 --> 01:54:28,328
You know, now I don't care.
2079
01:54:29,071 --> 01:54:30,448
I don't care.
2080
01:54:30,530 --> 01:54:33,124
The founders thought, "This
thing's gonna last a decade,
2081
01:54:33,200 --> 01:54:35,623
"a few decades, we'll be lucky
if it's a few generations."
2082
01:54:35,702 --> 01:54:37,045
Democracy means
ruled by the people
2083
01:54:37,120 --> 01:54:39,043
and if the people aren't
asserting themselves,
2084
01:54:39,122 --> 01:54:41,796
then democracy will go away.
2085
01:54:41,875 --> 01:54:46,722
And whether it's to some
drastic form like fascism,
2086
01:54:46,797 --> 01:54:49,425
or whether it's
to some form where,
2087
01:54:49,508 --> 01:54:52,853
yeah, we keep voting, but fewer of
us are allowed to vote every year,
2088
01:54:52,928 --> 01:54:54,726
and there's some kind
of emergency statute,
2089
01:54:54,805 --> 01:54:57,649
or, you know, that the money just
makes the voting basically a joke,

which is unfortunately where
we're tending anyway...
2091

Whether it's one or the other,
there's so much to lose.
2092

There will be a civil war in
the United States of America.

come out of the shadows.

of violence in this country,

Why would they need
all those guns?
2101
01:55:35,178 --> 01:55:38,182
I would take up arms because I
think we need a revolution.
2102

the kind of effort they had,

01:59:06,890 --> 01:59:08,483
never came to be,
2175
01:59:09,142 --> 01:59:14,524
and what we did have was eliminated
due to some national emergency,
2176
01:59:15,231 --> 01:59:18,701
will we ask ourselves,
"When was that moment
2177
01:59:18,818 --> 01:59:22,618
"we could have turned things
around before it was too late?"
2178
01:59:24,449 --> 01:59:27,999
Was it when the teacher in your
family had to get a second job?
2179
01:59:30,455 --> 01:59:33,379
Was it when you first saw
the friendly cop on your beat,
2180
01:59:33,458 --> 01:59:38,339
wearing this and driving
around in that?
2181
01:59:39,381 --> 01:59:41,554
Was it when, after months
of being addicted
2182
01:59:41,633 --> 01:59:44,557
to the pills you'd been given
to make the pain go away,
2183
01:59:45,011 --> 01:59:47,981
that you realized
it really wasn't the pain
2184
01:59:48,098 --> 01:59:50,146
that needed to go away?
2185
01:59:50,934 --> 01:59:54,279
Was it when you first heard that
the president you dearly loved
2186
01:59:54,354 --> 01:59:58,530
took more money from Goldman Sachs
than any other contributor?
2187
01:59:58,900 --> 02:00:03,280
And you wanted to tell
someone, but instead,
2188
02:00:03,363 --> 02:00:05,832
you just quietly threw up
in your mouth?
2189
02:00:09,744 --> 02:00:12,247
Was it when you convinced
yourself that this misfortune...
2190
02:00:13,832 --> 02:00:15,129
(WAILING)
2191
02:00:15,208 --> 02:00:17,051
...would never
come to your town?
2192
02:00:19,838 --> 02:00:23,012
Was it when you realized that
we do indeed love our guns
2193
02:00:23,091 --> 02:00:24,809
more than we love our kids?
2194
02:00:25,677 --> 02:00:28,897
And that if this is the
America we're trying to save,
2195
02:00:28,972 --> 02:00:31,600
maybe we need
to ask ourselves,
2196
02:00:32,475 --> 02:00:33,647
why?
2197
02:00:36,354 --> 02:00:38,448
Why save this America?
2198
02:00:38,523 --> 02:00:43,620
The America I want to save is
the America we've never had.
2199
02:00:46,239 --> 02:00:49,118
It didn't need
to end up like this.
2200
02:00:51,453 --> 02:00:53,126

(ELEVATOR DINGS)
...it is too late.
2205
02:01:32,619 --> 02:01:35,998
We had spent too much time
trying to comfort ourselves
2206
02:01:36,122 --> 02:01:38,796
with the belief that the
Constitution would save us,
2207
02:01:40,794 --> 02:01:42,421
elections would save us,
2208
02:01:45,089 --> 02:01:47,342
the special prosecutor
would save us,
2209
02:01:49,052 --> 02:01:50,804
impeachment would save us.
2210
02:01:52,764 --> 02:01:54,186
We kept hoping-
2211
02:01:55,183 --> 02:01:57,732
But it was that hope
that killed us.
2212
02:01:58,978 --> 02:02:04,200
Hope was wishful
and passive and comforting.
2213
02:02:05,193 --> 02:02:06,661
We didn't need comfort.
2214
02:02:07,237 --> 02:02:09,080
We needed action.
2215
02:02:11,241 --> 02:02:14,836
And sometimes, I guess
it takes a Donald Trump
2216
02:02:14,911 --> 02:02:18,336
to make us wake up and realize
that what we need to do
2217
02:02:18,414 --> 02:02:22,385
is to acknowledge that we have to
get rid of the whole rotten system
2218
02:02:22,502 --> 02:02:23,970
that gave us Trump.
2219
02:02:27,257 --> 02:02:31,979
And to realize that now,
right now, our time is up.
2220
02:02:32,053 --> 02:02:33,680
