1
00:00:34,618 --> 00:00:37,361
Was it all just a dream?
2
00:00:46,338 --> 00:00:49,297
It was the night
before the election in 2016.
3
00:00:51,051 --> 00:00:53,259
Everything seemed to
be going as planned.
4
00:00:54,221 --> 00:00:55,962
Amateurs and experts alike
5
00:00:56,348 --> 00:00:58,965
had already called
the election months ago.
6
00:00:59,393 --> 00:01:01,385
There's not going to be
a President Donald Trump.
7
00:01:02,729 --> 00:01:03,890
That's not going to happen.
8
00:01:04,273 --> 00:01:07,562
Donald Trump is not going to be
president of the United States.
9
00:01:07,651 --> 00:01:10,735
Donald Trump will never be
elected president of the United States.
10
00:01:12,447 --> 00:01:13,591
He's not going to
be president.
11
00:01:13,615 --> 00:01:17,108
Is there a path to victory
for Donald Trump at this point?
12
00:01:17,244 --> 00:01:18,244
No.
13
00:01:18,328 --> 00:01:20,223
You still think she has
a 100% chance of winning the election?
14
00:01:20,247 --> 00:01:21,283
Mmm, I do.
15
00:01:21,373 --> 00:01:23,865
I'm not sure the Republican
Party is going to survive.
16
00:01:24,001 --> 00:01:25,867
I would like
to introduce to you
17
00:01:26,169 --> 00:01:29,913
the next president of the United States,
Mrs. Hillary Clinton.
18
00:01:31,592 --> 00:01:35,256
Thank you all,
and thanks to Jay-Z and Beyoncé.
19
00:01:37,389 --> 00:01:42,509
And thanks to Chance The Rapper
and J. Cole and Big Sean.
20
00:01:43,770 --> 00:01:46,558
She had no idea
who any of these rappers were.
21
00:01:47,274 --> 00:01:48,640
But it didn't matter.
22
00:02:03,415 --> 00:02:05,953
The big day
is finally here.
23
00:02:06,084 --> 00:02:07,245
And it's time to vote.
24
00:02:07,336 --> 00:02:11,546
A giddy nation awoke that morning
to the news in The New York Times
25
00:02:11,632 --> 00:02:15,421
that Trump had only
a 15% chance of winning.
26
00:02:16,637 --> 00:02:19,866
You know, growing up as a little girl,
I never thought I could be president.
27
00:02:19,890 --> 00:02:21,222
It's becoming very real.
28
00:02:21,308 --> 00:02:24,176
Congrats, Hillary,
our first woman president.
29
00:02:24,436 --> 00:02:26,018
Whoo! Hillary all the way.
30
00:02:26,146 --> 00:02:27,808
All the way to
the White House.
31
00:02:27,939 --> 00:02:30,556
I waited over an hour to vote.
I am so happy.
32
00:02:31,026 --> 00:02:32,545
In Rochester, New York,
33
00:02:32,569 --> 00:02:36,654
thousands put "I voted" stickers on the
grave of suffragist Susan B. Anthony.
34
00:02:36,782 --> 00:02:40,992
This is the most important
election that I have ever voted in.
35
00:02:41,244 --> 00:02:44,044
I got to vote for a woman for president.
36
00:02:46,958 --> 00:02:48,870
We finally made it.
37
00:02:54,174 --> 00:02:57,793
Once the polls closed,
before the votes were even counted,
38
00:02:58,136 --> 00:03:00,048
the champagne corks
were popping
39
00:03:00,138 --> 00:03:03,097
at Hillary's victory party
in New York City.
40
00:03:03,558 --> 00:03:05,925
This has a literal
glass ceiling,
41
00:03:06,019 --> 00:03:10,263
a glass ceiling they're hoping to
symbolically burst through tonight.
42
00:03:10,357 --> 00:03:14,476
Let's be one nation, indivisible,
with a kick-ass president.
43
00:03:17,072 --> 00:03:19,906
Meanwhile,
just 17 blocks away...
44
00:03:25,205 --> 00:03:27,071
It's a decidedly small venue,
45
00:03:27,207 --> 00:03:30,200
perhaps the smallest one I've
ever seen for an event like this.
46
00:03:30,419 --> 00:03:33,503
Things were looking bad
for the other candidate.
47
00:03:34,047 --> 00:03:36,164
The crowd was glum.
48
00:03:36,842 --> 00:03:41,257
GOP officials now fear that
if Donald Trump loses by a landslide,
49
00:03:41,471 --> 00:03:44,509
he could take down the
congressional majorities with him.
50
00:03:46,393 --> 00:03:48,350
Fox News
seemed relieved
51
00:03:48,437 --> 00:03:52,056
that they wouldn't have to support
this man for the next four years.
52
00:03:52,190 --> 00:03:53,647
I think Hillary
is going to win.
53
00:03:53,734 --> 00:03:56,351
The betting odds on the
presidential race are three-to-one
54
00:03:56,486 --> 00:03:57,818
in favor of
Secretary Clinton.
55
00:04:03,535 --> 00:04:04,679
Look at all these wins
56
00:04:04,703 --> 00:04:06,013
we're projecting
for Hillary Clinton.
57
00:04:06,037 --> 00:04:07,994
Right now, she wins New Jersey
58
00:04:08,081 --> 00:04:09,868
with 14 electoral votes.
59
00:04:09,958 --> 00:04:11,853
Mrs. Clinton
is also performing strongly
60
00:04:11,877 --> 00:04:12,877
on the East Coast.
61
00:04:13,003 --> 00:04:14,665
Massachusetts, Maryland...
62
00:04:14,755 --> 00:04:15,835
And Illinois
63
00:04:15,881 --> 00:04:17,213
with 20 electoral votes.
64
00:04:17,340 --> 00:04:19,002
Hillary Clinton
projected the winner.
65
00:04:19,092 --> 00:04:20,583
No huge surprises thus far.
66
00:04:24,431 --> 00:04:27,424
Then, something strange
began to happen.
67
00:04:28,018 --> 00:04:29,662
Big news
for the first time tonight.
68
00:04:29,686 --> 00:04:31,473
Really big news
in the presidential race.
69
00:04:31,563 --> 00:04:33,099
We can project that
Donald Trump
70
00:04:33,190 --> 00:04:34,806
will win the state of Ohio.
71
00:04:36,318 --> 00:04:37,545
Donald Trump will carry
72
00:04:37,569 --> 00:04:38,935
the state of North Carolina.
73
00:04:39,029 --> 00:04:41,146
And that is huge
for Donald Trump.
74
00:04:41,490 --> 00:04:43,607
This is exactly
what he needed to do.
75
00:04:43,742 --> 00:04:46,200
Donald Trump will carry
the state of Florida.
76
00:04:46,286 --> 00:04:48,369
State of Wisconsin.
He will win Wisconsin...
77
00:04:48,455 --> 00:04:49,491
No!
78
00:04:49,581 --> 00:04:53,040
Trump doing very
well in Pennsylvania right now.
79
00:04:53,126 --> 00:04:55,334
A cliffhanger
going on here in Michigan.
80
00:04:55,420 --> 00:04:56,911
56% of the vote is in.
81
00:04:57,047 --> 00:04:58,583
Look at how close it is.
82
00:04:58,673 --> 00:05:00,130
Right now,
Donald Trump is ahead.
83
00:05:00,217 --> 00:05:01,708
It's completely flipped now.
84
00:05:01,802 --> 00:05:03,794
To make matters worse,
85
00:05:03,887 --> 00:05:06,800
Fox News was using my name.
86
00:05:06,890 --> 00:05:09,177
Michael Moore, who knows
white working-class voters,
87
00:05:09,267 --> 00:05:11,287
he's made movies about them,
he grew up in Michigan,
88
00:05:11,311 --> 00:05:13,803
had been saying all along
to the Democrats,
89
00:05:13,939 --> 00:05:15,851
"Dismiss him
at your own peril."
90
00:05:15,982 --> 00:05:17,689
And he said,
"I'm warning you,
91
00:05:17,776 --> 00:05:20,359
"I know the people
who live in my state
92
00:05:20,487 --> 00:05:22,149
"and I know how they think
93
00:05:22,239 --> 00:05:24,276
and I know what
their concerns are."
94
00:05:32,499 --> 00:05:34,161
Everybody should head home.
95
00:05:35,001 --> 00:05:36,617
You should get some sleep.
96
00:05:36,711 --> 00:05:39,294
We are not going to have
anything more to say tonight.
97
00:05:41,174 --> 00:05:44,133
This is a Fox News
election alert.
98
00:05:44,427 --> 00:05:48,171
Donald Trump is the president
of the United States.
99
00:06:02,779 --> 00:06:05,271
It looked
like a perp walk.
100
00:06:06,825 --> 00:06:08,782
He had written
no victory speech.
101
00:06:10,871 --> 00:06:13,033
Never did a group of people
102
00:06:13,623 --> 00:06:16,741
look as sad
to win the presidency
103
00:06:16,835 --> 00:06:18,121
as this crowd.
104
00:06:38,064 --> 00:06:45,028
At 2:29 a.m., on 11/9/16,
our new leader's image
105
00:06:45,113 --> 00:06:48,402
was projected onto
the Empire State Building.
106
00:06:53,246 --> 00:06:56,614
How the fuck did this happen?
107
00:09:27,317 --> 00:09:30,560
Yes, it was
the Russians.
108
00:09:31,905 --> 00:09:35,524
And of course,
it was James Comey.
109
00:09:35,658 --> 00:09:37,320
What a job.
110
00:09:37,410 --> 00:09:41,245
But history will record
that no one was more responsible
111
00:09:41,331 --> 00:09:44,950
for Donald Trump being in the
White House than this woman.
112
00:09:49,172 --> 00:09:52,665
That's right.
Gwen Renée Stefani.
113
00:09:53,593 --> 00:09:55,209
Allow me to explain.
114
00:09:56,721 --> 00:10:01,933
Ladies and gentlemen,
my father, Donald J. Trump.
115
00:10:02,936 --> 00:10:06,270
What you are about to
witness is a fake announcement
116
00:10:06,356 --> 00:10:09,394
for a run for president
of the United States.
117
00:10:11,361 --> 00:10:13,819
This idea was cooked up
by Donald Trump
118
00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:18,615
when he found out that NBC was
paying Gwen Stefani on The Voice
119
00:10:18,701 --> 00:10:22,285
more than they were paying him
to star on The Apprentice.
120
00:10:23,123 --> 00:10:26,491
He paid a bunch of extras
50 bucks a piece
121
00:10:26,584 --> 00:10:28,200
to be his cheering supporters.
122
00:10:28,962 --> 00:10:30,453
He would prove to NBC
123
00:10:30,547 --> 00:10:33,085
that he was more popular
than Gwen Stefani,
124
00:10:33,174 --> 00:10:35,006
and then they would
give him more money.
125
00:10:35,677 --> 00:10:38,385
He would also show them
how good he was at improv
126
00:10:38,471 --> 00:10:40,508
with his fake presidential
announcement.
127
00:10:41,057 --> 00:10:43,970
And that's when things
went off the rails.
128
00:10:44,060 --> 00:10:45,471
They sweated like dogs.
129
00:10:45,562 --> 00:10:47,474
I'm really rich,
I assure you that.
130
00:10:47,564 --> 00:10:49,521
They do a website.
It cost me $3.
131
00:10:49,691 --> 00:10:51,683
...that I got from China
in a war.
132
00:10:51,776 --> 00:10:54,519
The sun will rise,
the moon will set.
133
00:10:54,737 --> 00:10:56,694
He wasn't a cheerleader.
He was the opposite.
134
00:10:56,823 --> 00:11:00,908
Even our nuclear arsenal
doesn't work.
135
00:11:00,994 --> 00:11:02,986
I think I'm actually
a very nice person.
136
00:11:03,079 --> 00:11:04,615
We have nothing.
137
00:11:04,706 --> 00:11:07,414
I just sold an apartment
for $15 million
138
00:11:08,543 --> 00:11:09,704
to somebody from China.
139
00:11:09,794 --> 00:11:11,751
I learned so much
just sitting at his feet,
140
00:11:11,838 --> 00:11:12,919
playing with blocks...
141
00:11:13,423 --> 00:11:17,633
They're rapists and some
probably from the Middle East.
142
00:11:17,844 --> 00:11:19,655
And I promise I will never be
in a bicycle race,
143
00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:20,679
that I can tell you.
144
00:11:20,763 --> 00:11:22,470
We now have a gun
on every table.
145
00:11:23,099 --> 00:11:24,431
We're ready to start shooting.
146
00:11:25,894 --> 00:11:28,102
The American dream
147
00:11:28,980 --> 00:11:30,141
is dead.
148
00:11:30,231 --> 00:11:31,311
NBC says
149
00:11:31,357 --> 00:11:32,960
it's cutting business ties
with Donald Trump.
150
00:11:32,984 --> 00:11:35,397
Donald Trump receives
a pink slip of his own.
151
00:11:35,486 --> 00:11:37,464
...citing his derogatory statements,
152
00:11:37,488 --> 00:11:41,072
calling Mexican immigrants "rapists,
drug dealers and criminals."
153
00:11:41,784 --> 00:11:43,741
His plan backfired.
154
00:11:43,828 --> 00:11:45,194
He was now out of a job.
155
00:11:45,788 --> 00:11:48,531
Though he had no real plans
to run for president,
156
00:11:48,625 --> 00:11:51,709
his sons encouraged him to go
ahead with the two rallies
157
00:11:51,794 --> 00:11:53,535
that he had booked
and paid for.
158
00:12:05,725 --> 00:12:08,217
As he looked around
at the adoring masses,
159
00:12:09,020 --> 00:12:12,764
a crowd the size of which
he'd never seen before,
160
00:12:12,857 --> 00:12:14,814
he had his epiphany.
161
00:12:17,528 --> 00:12:18,985
Unbelievable.
162
00:12:19,781 --> 00:12:21,613
Unbelievable!
163
00:12:28,081 --> 00:12:29,993
Maybe running
for president
164
00:12:30,083 --> 00:12:32,826
wasn't such a bad idea
after all.
165
00:12:33,711 --> 00:12:37,045
In fact, it was
a brilliant idea.
166
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:39,297
"Fuck Gwen Stefani!
167
00:12:39,384 --> 00:12:41,467
"And fuck NBC!
168
00:12:41,552 --> 00:12:44,670
"I'm going to be
king of the world."
169
00:12:47,475 --> 00:12:50,263
There was no one
happier with this decision
170
00:12:50,812 --> 00:12:52,553
than the nation's media.
171
00:12:53,439 --> 00:12:56,773
Trump was about to become
their cash cow.
172
00:12:57,277 --> 00:13:01,567
And NBC could now
put him on TV for free.
173
00:13:02,949 --> 00:13:04,690
First, he gave them
a good laugh.
174
00:13:04,784 --> 00:13:07,993
We better be ready for the fact that he
might be leading the Republican ticket.
175
00:13:09,247 --> 00:13:11,990
I know you don't believe that,
but I wanna go on...
176
00:13:12,834 --> 00:13:15,998
Then, he started
telling them what to do.
177
00:13:16,754 --> 00:13:19,838
But I want the cameras to span the room.
Go ahead, fellas, watch.
178
00:13:20,049 --> 00:13:22,041
They don't turn them.
They don't turn them.
179
00:13:22,427 --> 00:13:23,463
They don't turn them.
180
00:13:24,053 --> 00:13:25,294
Go ahead, turn them.
181
00:13:26,472 --> 00:13:28,930
Look, turn the camera.
Go ahead.
182
00:13:29,017 --> 00:13:31,134
You with the blonde hair.
Turn the camera.
183
00:13:31,477 --> 00:13:33,685
Show them how many people
come to these rallies.
184
00:13:34,147 --> 00:13:37,857
Then he started dictating how
the interviews would be conducted.
185
00:13:38,735 --> 00:13:40,226
Hey, welcome back
to Morning Joe.
186
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:42,256
Let's bring in right now
on the phone, Donald Trump.
187
00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:43,882
How are you doing this
morning, first of all, Donald?
188
00:13:43,906 --> 00:13:46,051
- I'm doing good.
- I did a phoner.
189
00:13:46,075 --> 00:13:47,428
It's always good when
they take you by phone.
190
00:13:47,452 --> 00:13:48,452
That means you're hot.
191
00:13:48,619 --> 00:13:50,451
We do phoners to
Meet the Press.
192
00:13:50,621 --> 00:13:51,862
Donald Trump himself.
193
00:13:52,332 --> 00:13:53,434
Good morning, Chuck.
194
00:13:53,458 --> 00:13:54,601
Welcome back
to Meet the Press, sir.
195
00:13:54,625 --> 00:13:55,741
Good morning, Chuck.
196
00:13:55,835 --> 00:13:57,792
I'm joined now on the phone
from New York...
197
00:13:57,879 --> 00:13:59,679
That's so much easier, folks.
You sit at home,
198
00:13:59,714 --> 00:14:01,671
"Hi, how are you doing?
How is everything going?"
199
00:14:01,758 --> 00:14:03,670
And then, just for fun,
200
00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:06,173
he'd mess with them
by keeping them waiting,
201
00:14:06,262 --> 00:14:09,130
like on this day
in Portland, Maine.
202
00:14:09,223 --> 00:14:13,058
...Donald Trump expected to speak at
a campaign rally in Portland, Maine.
203
00:14:13,603 --> 00:14:15,539
- And waiting.
- So, we're just expecting him
204
00:14:15,563 --> 00:14:17,041
to come out here
in just a few minutes.
205
00:14:17,065 --> 00:14:18,431
And waiting.
206
00:14:18,524 --> 00:14:19,918
We are awaiting his
remarks moments from now.
207
00:14:19,942 --> 00:14:21,899
Not on stage yet,
as you can see.
208
00:14:21,986 --> 00:14:23,297
Once again,
we're standing by live.
209
00:14:23,321 --> 00:14:24,715
The candidate is just not...
210
00:14:24,739 --> 00:14:25,924
Go ahead
and toss it back to you.
211
00:14:25,948 --> 00:14:27,564
Trump is coming
out now, Craig?
212
00:14:28,785 --> 00:14:30,993
No, no, no.
You're good, Hallie, you're good.
213
00:14:31,245 --> 00:14:32,365
Oh, I can keep going?
214
00:14:32,413 --> 00:14:34,405
- He's not coming out yet.
- Thanks.
215
00:14:34,749 --> 00:14:35,809
What will he say?
216
00:14:35,833 --> 00:14:36,935
We are again waiting.
217
00:14:36,959 --> 00:14:38,916
He can't seem to get a rally
started on time.
218
00:14:39,045 --> 00:14:41,605
- Watching that podium...
- Any moment now...
219
00:14:44,550 --> 00:14:46,904
A Fox News alert.
Still waiting for that Donald Trump...
220
00:14:46,928 --> 00:14:49,671
Let me show you. They're even
up in the balcony. Take a look.
221
00:14:49,764 --> 00:14:51,909
It was supposed to
begin about 25 minutes ago.
222
00:14:51,933 --> 00:14:53,094
Donald Trump.
223
00:14:55,686 --> 00:14:57,846
Uh, false alarm.
A bunch of people coming.
224
00:14:59,148 --> 00:15:00,229
Not one of them is Donald.
225
00:15:00,316 --> 00:15:01,919
He's getting ready
to walk over to that...
226
00:15:01,943 --> 00:15:02,943
Any minute now.
227
00:15:03,027 --> 00:15:05,827
We've been watching and waiting for
the better part of a half-hour here.
228
00:15:06,030 --> 00:15:08,272
I imagined he got
a kick out of seeing
229
00:15:08,366 --> 00:15:13,282
just how long they'd put a live
TV camera on his empty podium.
230
00:15:13,913 --> 00:15:15,449
Let's just keep
a watch here because...
231
00:15:15,540 --> 00:15:17,452
Let's go. Donald Trump.
232
00:15:17,542 --> 00:15:19,909
Thank you so much.
What a turnout.
233
00:15:20,711 --> 00:15:22,623
What a turnout!
234
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:25,120
If you go back to the rallies,
let me ask you a question.
235
00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:28,417
Did you put the rallies on
because they were of news value
236
00:15:28,511 --> 00:15:29,947
or because they were
driving ratings?
237
00:15:29,971 --> 00:15:31,587
Well...
238
00:15:33,641 --> 00:15:34,677
Uh...
239
00:16:04,130 --> 00:16:06,918
All of the big networks
were run by men.
240
00:16:08,134 --> 00:16:12,970
And some of their biggest stars shared
a lot in common with Donald Trump.
241
00:16:13,055 --> 00:16:15,422
The word "judgment"
has been used a lot
242
00:16:15,516 --> 00:16:17,929
concerning the use
of your personal email.
243
00:16:18,019 --> 00:16:20,887
Why wasn't it disqualifying,
if you want to be commander-in-chief...
244
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:27,942
She has to learn
to do it with humor,
245
00:16:28,029 --> 00:16:31,067
and if she doesn't, actually,
she's being kind of aggressive.
246
00:16:31,199 --> 00:16:33,065
- I'm Mark Halperin.
- And I'm Donald Trump.
247
00:16:37,830 --> 00:16:42,746
Do you think the email crisis
contributed to the question of trust?
248
00:16:42,835 --> 00:16:45,293
Well, it's certainly
not a choice I would do again.
249
00:16:45,379 --> 00:16:46,579
I want to hear you out
on this.
250
00:16:46,672 --> 00:16:48,484
- You said, "I'm sorry, I made a mistake."
- That's right.
251
00:16:48,508 --> 00:16:50,348
- It was the wrong thing to do.
- That's right.
252
00:16:55,014 --> 00:16:56,926
Fox News has a secret formula,
253
00:16:57,058 --> 00:16:59,578
and we're never going to
tell anybody what it is.
254
00:17:04,899 --> 00:17:09,644
There's got to be some downside to
having a woman president, right?
255
00:17:09,737 --> 00:17:10,773
Something.
256
00:17:15,701 --> 00:17:17,658
Hold it. Let's get
some more air-conditioning.
257
00:17:17,787 --> 00:17:19,449
Hey, Matt.
258
00:17:20,081 --> 00:17:21,288
Turn up
the air-conditioning.
259
00:17:22,792 --> 00:17:24,283
Up the air-conditioning.
260
00:17:25,044 --> 00:17:28,754
This malignant narcissist,
the one on the right,
261
00:17:28,839 --> 00:17:33,959
has always played the media for
suckers and gotten away with it.
262
00:17:35,137 --> 00:17:36,344
I should know.
263
00:17:37,682 --> 00:17:38,968
Back in 1998,
264
00:17:39,308 --> 00:17:42,597
Trump and I were booked together
on Roseanne Barr's new talk show.
265
00:17:43,604 --> 00:17:46,221
He did not know that he was
scheduled to appear with me.
266
00:17:46,816 --> 00:17:51,106
I was all set to take him down,
but he wanted nothing to do with it.
267
00:17:52,113 --> 00:17:54,105
I saw he was
getting ready to leave.
268
00:17:54,532 --> 00:17:55,818
Tell her, "Have a good time."
269
00:17:56,701 --> 00:17:57,908
Excuse me, Mr. Trump?
270
00:17:58,244 --> 00:18:02,033
Roseanne's producers asked him
to hold up and came and spoke with me
271
00:18:02,123 --> 00:18:04,035
and begged me
to go easy on him.
272
00:18:04,542 --> 00:18:07,187
I don't know, he was scheduled to be
on Politically Incorrect with me,
273
00:18:07,211 --> 00:18:09,794
and when he heard I was on,
he skedaddled.
274
00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:10,916
- Did he really?
- Yeah.
275
00:18:22,852 --> 00:18:26,095
I didn't want Trump to walk,
which would screw up Roseanne's show,
276
00:18:26,188 --> 00:18:30,057
so the next thing I knew,
I was playing nice.
277
00:18:30,151 --> 00:18:32,939
I've been on unemployment
three different times in my life.
278
00:18:33,195 --> 00:18:36,484
But, you know, neither one of us was
ever a billion dollars in the hole.
279
00:18:37,366 --> 00:18:41,610
I was down almost
about 900 million in the negative sense.
280
00:18:42,330 --> 00:18:44,572
Instead of asking
which Russian mobsters
281
00:18:44,665 --> 00:18:46,406
bailed him out
of his billion dollar debt,
282
00:18:47,084 --> 00:18:49,041
I just decided to make a joke.
283
00:18:49,128 --> 00:18:51,541
And what unemployment line
were you standing in?
284
00:18:53,049 --> 00:18:54,210
I was there...
285
00:18:55,092 --> 00:18:56,833
I did learn
one interesting tidbit.
286
00:18:58,012 --> 00:19:00,550
He had seen my movie
Roger & Me.
287
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:02,973
I tell you,
I loved what he did.
288
00:19:03,100 --> 00:19:06,593
If I was Roger, I wouldn't have
liked it, but I enjoyed it.
289
00:19:06,854 --> 00:19:08,436
I hope he never
does one on me, though.
290
00:19:15,154 --> 00:19:16,673
You know,
it's very interesting, Bill,
291
00:19:16,697 --> 00:19:17,938
because I met Michael
292
00:19:18,032 --> 00:19:20,319
and had dinner with Michael
years ago.
293
00:19:20,576 --> 00:19:22,576
And I found him to be
a really nice guy, great guy.
294
00:19:23,454 --> 00:19:25,946
I never had dinner
with Donald Trump.
295
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:27,121
He just made that up.
296
00:19:28,209 --> 00:19:31,418
And that's not the only time
I've been in Trumpland.
297
00:19:32,546 --> 00:19:35,084
Here I am giving a back rub
to Jared Kushner.
298
00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:37,507
Back in 2007,
299
00:19:37,593 --> 00:19:39,209
Trump's future son-in-law
300
00:19:39,303 --> 00:19:41,260
was so excited about
socialized medicine,
301
00:19:41,347 --> 00:19:44,431
he threw the opening night
party for my new movie.
302
00:19:44,517 --> 00:19:46,930
I think Michael chooses
very interesting topics,
303
00:19:47,019 --> 00:19:49,477
and I think he's also
one of the great people
304
00:19:49,563 --> 00:19:51,099
of stringing together
an argument.
305
00:19:51,190 --> 00:19:54,308
He does a great job of putting
together a lot of different clippings
306
00:19:54,402 --> 00:19:55,545
and lot of
different information
307
00:19:55,569 --> 00:19:58,312
in a way that it's very easily
digestible by a lot of people.
308
00:19:58,739 --> 00:20:01,823
If you had to
throw out a topic for his next film,
309
00:20:01,909 --> 00:20:03,775
what do you think
that would be?
310
00:20:03,869 --> 00:20:06,139
Knowing Michael, it would be something
that we're not thinking about
311
00:20:06,163 --> 00:20:08,444
and something that really needs
a light to be shined on it.
312
00:20:10,084 --> 00:20:12,872
And you want to know who else
had their grubby paws in my film?
313
00:20:13,379 --> 00:20:14,495
This guy.
314
00:20:14,588 --> 00:20:18,172
Years later, I discovered that
it was Steve Bannon's company
315
00:20:18,259 --> 00:20:20,000
that did
the home video release.
316
00:20:22,513 --> 00:20:23,513
He has integrity.
317
00:20:29,979 --> 00:20:32,062
Okay, I don't know
what to make of that,
318
00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:34,682
but it seems I'm a bit too
comfortable with the enemy.
319
00:20:35,735 --> 00:20:39,479
Here I am on Facebook Live,
just two days before the election,
320
00:20:39,572 --> 00:20:41,814
trying to inspire people
to vote for Hillary,
321
00:20:41,907 --> 00:20:43,944
and guess who pops in?
322
00:20:44,243 --> 00:20:46,030
Huh? Oh, my God!
323
00:20:46,120 --> 00:20:49,238
- Kellyanne Conway, oh, my God.
- Michael Moore!
324
00:20:50,124 --> 00:20:52,004
Michael, be honest.
Who's going to win Michigan?
325
00:20:52,084 --> 00:20:55,168
Even if I did know Kellyanne
from being on talk shows with her,
326
00:20:55,254 --> 00:20:56,461
this was over the top.
327
00:20:58,090 --> 00:21:01,003
As I snuggled there
with Kellyanne on Fifth Avenue,
328
00:21:01,927 --> 00:21:05,762
66 floors above us
sat the soon-to-be president
329
00:21:06,307 --> 00:21:09,471
snuggling his bucket of KFC.
330
00:21:10,561 --> 00:21:11,847
And it made me think,
331
00:21:12,438 --> 00:21:16,182
how well did we really know
Donald Trump?
332
00:21:24,742 --> 00:21:26,136
She's really
a beautiful baby.
333
00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:28,197
And she's got
Marla's legs.
334
00:21:28,537 --> 00:21:31,154
We don't know whether or not
she's got this part yet,
335
00:21:31,248 --> 00:21:32,568
but time will tell.
336
00:21:38,464 --> 00:21:39,671
Who is his favorite?
337
00:21:39,757 --> 00:21:42,374
I'm going with Ivanka.
338
00:21:58,442 --> 00:22:01,276
She's six feet tall,
she's got the best body.
339
00:22:01,570 --> 00:22:03,357
When Ivanka Trump
came on stage,
340
00:22:03,447 --> 00:22:05,655
it's nice to see
a dad kiss his daughter.
341
00:22:05,783 --> 00:22:08,571
Trump responded,
he kisses her every chance he gets.
342
00:22:11,956 --> 00:22:13,956
Did your daughter
get breast implants?
343
00:22:14,041 --> 00:22:16,201
No, she didn't.
I mean, I would know if she did.
344
00:22:16,836 --> 00:22:18,919
She's actually always been
very voluptuous.
345
00:22:20,923 --> 00:22:23,961
"You. You are special.
You remind me of my daughter.
346
00:22:24,927 --> 00:22:26,839
"I like you. I like you."
347
00:22:27,805 --> 00:22:28,990
And you had sex with him?
348
00:22:29,014 --> 00:22:30,014
Yes.
349
00:22:31,851 --> 00:22:33,558
He's very proud of Ivanka.
350
00:22:34,436 --> 00:22:36,177
He said I was beautiful
like her.
351
00:22:37,481 --> 00:22:38,767
If Ivanka weren't my daughter,
352
00:22:38,858 --> 00:22:40,019
perhaps I'd be dating her.
353
00:22:40,109 --> 00:22:41,270
Stop it!
354
00:22:41,360 --> 00:22:42,396
Oh, it's so weird.
355
00:22:43,737 --> 00:22:46,354
What's the favorite thing you
have in common with your father?
356
00:22:46,490 --> 00:22:48,652
Either real estate or golf.
357
00:22:49,118 --> 00:22:50,780
Donald,
with your daughter?
358
00:22:50,870 --> 00:22:53,328
Well, I was going to say sex,
but I can't relate that...
359
00:22:56,041 --> 00:22:59,955
Does this make you
feel uncomfortable?
360
00:23:02,172 --> 00:23:06,758
I don't know why.
None of this is new.
361
00:23:12,558 --> 00:23:15,892
He's always committed
his crimes in plain sight.
362
00:23:17,229 --> 00:23:19,221
We expect to be
successful in court.
363
00:23:19,982 --> 00:23:21,063
We knew about this.
364
00:23:21,609 --> 00:23:24,226
Should he have ever
been able to build
365
00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:26,357
or own another
apartment building?
366
00:23:29,116 --> 00:23:30,482
He did this, too, right?
367
00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:33,493
Demanding the execution
368
00:23:33,579 --> 00:23:35,571
of five innocent
black teenagers.
369
00:23:38,167 --> 00:23:39,658
Let's all hate these people
370
00:23:39,752 --> 00:23:42,432
because maybe hate is what we need
if we're gonna get something done.
371
00:23:42,463 --> 00:23:43,795
You don't know
who did that crime.
372
00:23:44,715 --> 00:23:47,423
And we all
definitely knew about this.
373
00:23:47,509 --> 00:23:50,001
All I want to do is see
this guy's birth certificate.
374
00:23:50,095 --> 00:23:55,307
And yet,
neither you nor I called or wrote NBC...
375
00:23:55,392 --> 00:23:57,759
America's boss, Donald Trump.
376
00:23:58,312 --> 00:24:01,896
To have an admitted
racist removed from the air.
377
00:24:04,401 --> 00:24:07,439
His racism, his misogyny.
378
00:24:09,573 --> 00:24:13,442
To have the owner come
waltzing in when we're naked,
379
00:24:13,535 --> 00:24:15,135
in a very physically
vulnerable position.
380
00:24:27,758 --> 00:24:30,842
All of this
done out in the open.
381
00:24:32,179 --> 00:24:36,765
As if by doing it publicly,
it was okay.
382
00:24:37,810 --> 00:24:39,392
No one would object.
383
00:24:43,148 --> 00:24:49,019
Even committing treason on
worldwide TV was acceptable,
384
00:24:49,571 --> 00:24:51,608
because he didn't hide it.
385
00:24:52,032 --> 00:24:55,571
President Putin was extremely
strong and powerful
386
00:24:55,661 --> 00:24:57,448
in his denial today.
387
00:24:57,538 --> 00:24:59,621
Trump loves the strongman.
388
00:25:01,208 --> 00:25:02,665
The autocrat.
389
00:25:04,086 --> 00:25:05,202
The dictator.
390
00:25:06,797 --> 00:25:09,540
Take these two strongman CEOs.
391
00:25:10,217 --> 00:25:11,879
They go way back.
392
00:25:12,845 --> 00:25:16,009
The one on the right became
the governor of Michigan
393
00:25:16,348 --> 00:25:20,217
before the one on the left became
the president of the United States.
394
00:25:22,062 --> 00:25:25,146
Before Donald J. Trump would
be unleashed on the world,
395
00:25:25,899 --> 00:25:29,392
we here in Michigan
got a coming attraction
396
00:25:29,862 --> 00:25:32,525
for what you would all
soon experience.
397
00:25:34,283 --> 00:25:36,445
It began in 2010,
398
00:25:36,535 --> 00:25:40,700
when a Republican named Rick Snyder
was elected Governor of Michigan.
399
00:25:42,041 --> 00:25:47,753
He had no experience in public service,
but he was very, very good at foosball.
400
00:25:47,838 --> 00:25:49,249
- Yes!
- Oh, not again!
401
00:25:50,090 --> 00:25:52,457
And he was
very, very rich.
402
00:25:53,427 --> 00:25:55,760
He had been CEO
of Gateway Computers.
403
00:25:56,388 --> 00:25:59,005
You remember, right?
The piece of shit computer.
404
00:26:01,268 --> 00:26:03,351
And he told the voters
of my state
405
00:26:03,437 --> 00:26:06,225
that he was going
to run Michigan like a business.
406
00:26:06,732 --> 00:26:08,564
I was hired
to serve our citizens.
407
00:26:08,650 --> 00:26:09,731
They're my customers.
408
00:26:10,194 --> 00:26:13,437
Ah, yes,
we're the customers.
409
00:26:13,947 --> 00:26:16,189
The customers of the big
business that he was running.
410
00:26:17,993 --> 00:26:21,782
The ones that would pay for his
billion dollar tax break for the rich.
411
00:26:21,914 --> 00:26:24,748
The Michigan
business tax is gone.
412
00:26:26,794 --> 00:26:28,456
Emboldened by his victory,
413
00:26:28,545 --> 00:26:31,379
he was not satisfied
with just being governor.
414
00:26:31,465 --> 00:26:33,297
He wanted more power.
415
00:26:34,802 --> 00:26:36,759
And how do you get more power?
416
00:26:37,596 --> 00:26:41,340
You scare the people
and declare an emergency.
417
00:26:41,934 --> 00:26:44,426
Governor Rick Snyder appoints
an emergency manager.
418
00:26:44,561 --> 00:26:45,927
Prop 1, the emergency
financial...
419
00:26:46,021 --> 00:26:47,182
The manager...
420
00:26:47,314 --> 00:26:48,555
The emergency manager.
421
00:26:48,649 --> 00:26:49,709
And it is official.
422
00:26:49,733 --> 00:26:53,067
...state police and a security team
out to try and keep the peace.
423
00:26:53,153 --> 00:26:55,645
The Emergency
Manager bill is now a law.
424
00:26:55,739 --> 00:26:58,777
Governor Snyder
signed the Emergency Manager law.
425
00:26:59,785 --> 00:27:03,369
Even though
there was no emergency.
426
00:27:05,624 --> 00:27:09,208
He staged a coup,
he removed from power
427
00:27:09,503 --> 00:27:13,588
the elected mayors
and city councils of Detroit,
428
00:27:14,424 --> 00:27:18,464
Flint, Pontiac
and Benton Harbor,
429
00:27:19,346 --> 00:27:23,716
and installed his cronies to run
them in the way that he saw fit.
430
00:27:26,228 --> 00:27:31,974
This was a premeditated plan to
reduce and privatize public services,
431
00:27:32,067 --> 00:27:35,981
so that corporate people like
him could make more money.
432
00:27:37,739 --> 00:27:40,939
People don't think that
this is happening in the United States.
433
00:27:41,869 --> 00:27:43,735
If you don't say, like,
Flint, Michigan
434
00:27:43,829 --> 00:27:46,742
and you just say
the powers of this person...
435
00:27:46,832 --> 00:27:49,620
They all think it's Honduras.
436
00:27:50,669 --> 00:27:53,958
This is a way to target black
and brown communities.
437
00:27:54,089 --> 00:27:59,551
It was a king. The governor put
a king into the city of Flint.
438
00:27:59,636 --> 00:28:03,630
And he ruled without being
responsible to anyone.
439
00:28:03,807 --> 00:28:06,971
Look at the cities in Michigan
that are under emergency management.
440
00:28:07,060 --> 00:28:08,329
The ones
the governor took over.
441
00:28:08,353 --> 00:28:11,187
The governor took over. At one point,
50% of the African-Americans
442
00:28:11,273 --> 00:28:13,936
in this state were under
emergency management
443
00:28:14,026 --> 00:28:15,938
compared to 2% of whites.
444
00:28:18,864 --> 00:28:24,076
Governor Snyder's idea to remove
democracy from Michigan's black cities
445
00:28:24,536 --> 00:28:29,577
so impressed the future president
that he came to offer his support.
446
00:28:34,671 --> 00:28:35,787
Well, that is unfolding.
447
00:28:35,881 --> 00:28:37,918
I've been reading about
the emergency manager
448
00:28:38,008 --> 00:28:41,843
and my attitude is whatever it
takes to make that next step.
449
00:28:41,929 --> 00:28:46,299
I could say this, maybe,
a little bit about the country.
450
00:28:53,941 --> 00:28:57,275
Governor Snyder wanted to
flex his new autocratic powers.
451
00:28:57,986 --> 00:29:02,356
He saw an opportunity to take advantage
of the poorest city in the country
452
00:29:03,075 --> 00:29:04,611
and of the largest source
453
00:29:04,701 --> 00:29:06,693
of fresh water in the world.
454
00:29:07,955 --> 00:29:10,993
Option A was that he could
just leave well enough alone.
455
00:29:11,708 --> 00:29:14,951
After all, for five decades,
the city of Flint
456
00:29:15,045 --> 00:29:17,207
got its water from Lake Huron.
457
00:29:17,798 --> 00:29:20,882
A 10,000-year-old
pure glacial lake,
458
00:29:20,968 --> 00:29:24,427
water delivered to Flint through
publicly owned pipelines.
459
00:29:25,472 --> 00:29:27,680
Or there was option B.
460
00:29:28,141 --> 00:29:32,226
Why not build a new,
completely unnecessary pipeline
461
00:29:33,605 --> 00:29:37,440
that would benefit investors,
his major campaign donors,
462
00:29:37,985 --> 00:29:40,102
and banks like Wells Fargo.
463
00:29:41,655 --> 00:29:45,399
The only catch was that while the
new pipeline was being built,
464
00:29:46,034 --> 00:29:48,742
Flint would have to
switch over from Lake Huron
465
00:29:49,871 --> 00:29:53,865
to the industrial sewage ditch
known as the Flint River.
466
00:29:56,420 --> 00:30:00,209
We believe there was a significant
financial fraud that drove this.
467
00:30:01,091 --> 00:30:02,957
Was it for the benefit
of the local government
468
00:30:03,093 --> 00:30:05,335
- or for the individual?
- Individual.
469
00:30:05,470 --> 00:30:07,257
- Individuals doing it for themselves?
- Yes.
470
00:30:07,723 --> 00:30:10,591
You know, I believe
greed drove this.
471
00:30:11,476 --> 00:30:13,263
In April of 2014,
472
00:30:13,812 --> 00:30:17,021
the governor switched
the city of Flint's drinking water
473
00:30:17,107 --> 00:30:18,894
to the Flint River.
474
00:30:18,984 --> 00:30:20,378
- Here's to Flint.
- Here's to Flint.
475
00:30:20,402 --> 00:30:21,859
- Hear, hear.
- Hear, hear.
476
00:30:21,945 --> 00:30:27,657
Here is his team toasting each other
over what would amount to, in essence,
477
00:30:27,743 --> 00:30:30,861
a slow motion
ethnic cleansing.
478
00:30:31,538 --> 00:30:34,030
Three, two, one.
479
00:30:37,419 --> 00:30:40,753
Some residents are wondering,
will we see a change?
480
00:30:40,839 --> 00:30:43,456
No, the average resident won't
notice any difference.
481
00:30:44,718 --> 00:30:45,718
Look down in there.
482
00:30:45,802 --> 00:30:48,966
Within days, the average
residents noticed a difference.
483
00:30:49,598 --> 00:30:50,805
A big difference.
484
00:30:51,933 --> 00:30:53,515
That's nasty.
485
00:30:55,771 --> 00:30:57,478
Their hair
started to fall out.
486
00:30:58,940 --> 00:31:01,273
Skin rashes appeared
all over their bodies.
487
00:31:02,110 --> 00:31:03,521
And the children got sick.
488
00:31:04,571 --> 00:31:06,858
Parents whose children
showed no symptoms
489
00:31:06,948 --> 00:31:09,941
were still worried that
they might be sick.
490
00:31:10,035 --> 00:31:14,655
Because as one doctor noticed,
nearly every child had ingested lead.
491
00:31:15,707 --> 00:31:19,200
There is no safe level of lead
in a body of anybody.
492
00:31:19,294 --> 00:31:20,705
There is no safe
level of lead.
493
00:31:24,341 --> 00:31:27,675
It is potent
and it is irreversible.
494
00:31:27,803 --> 00:31:31,387
Which means, once it is in your blood,
it wreaks havoc.
495
00:31:31,848 --> 00:31:34,841
- You mean irreversible for how long?
- Forever.
496
00:31:36,269 --> 00:31:41,606
It literally drops IQ levels of
children, it leads to impulse disorder
497
00:31:42,109 --> 00:31:43,600
and then memory issues.
498
00:31:44,444 --> 00:31:46,436
Violent behavior,
aggressiveness.
499
00:31:47,155 --> 00:31:49,112
It also impacts your DNA.
500
00:31:49,199 --> 00:31:50,815
Moms exposed to lead,
501
00:31:50,909 --> 00:31:53,822
you can see the DNA changes
in their grandchildren.
502
00:31:57,165 --> 00:32:00,909
Word of the developing disaster
reached the governor's office.
503
00:32:02,170 --> 00:32:04,878
And so, he quietly dispatched
an aid to Flint
504
00:32:04,965 --> 00:32:07,548
to find out
what exactly was going on.
505
00:32:09,094 --> 00:32:12,212
The report came back
with bad news.
506
00:32:21,773 --> 00:32:24,891
The state investigator
recommended switching immediately
507
00:32:24,985 --> 00:32:26,601
back to the Lake Huron water.
508
00:32:27,487 --> 00:32:29,820
But the governor seemed to
have other thoughts.
509
00:32:30,198 --> 00:32:33,407
Like getting PR people
to make the problem go away.
510
00:32:33,493 --> 00:32:35,109
Water that is
leaving the plant
511
00:32:35,203 --> 00:32:37,946
is always assured to be
at the top-notch of quality.
512
00:32:39,583 --> 00:32:43,167
For the governor,
there was an even greater tragedy.
513
00:32:43,712 --> 00:32:47,797
The Flint River water was
corroding the auto parts
514
00:32:48,675 --> 00:32:50,086
at the General Motors factory.
515
00:32:52,637 --> 00:32:55,801
When the governor heard this,
he blew his top.
516
00:32:56,600 --> 00:32:59,388
After all, General Motors
had donated
517
00:32:59,478 --> 00:33:01,640
hundreds of thousands
of dollars
518
00:33:01,730 --> 00:33:04,393
to the Republican
Governors Association
519
00:33:04,524 --> 00:33:08,609
to help elect candidates
like Rick Snyder,
520
00:33:08,695 --> 00:33:12,063
and here he was,
damaging their property.
521
00:33:12,616 --> 00:33:13,982
For Governor Snyder,
522
00:33:14,075 --> 00:33:16,863
that was a bridge too far.
523
00:33:16,953 --> 00:33:21,539
He immediately ordered the water in
Flint to be switched back to Lake Huron,
524
00:33:22,125 --> 00:33:24,993
but only for
the General Motors factory.
525
00:33:25,879 --> 00:33:29,839
The people of Flint would continue
to drink the poisoned water.
526
00:33:31,259 --> 00:33:32,570
Nobody is going
to believe this,
527
00:33:32,594 --> 00:33:36,634
that the one GM factory that's
remaining here in Flint,
528
00:33:36,723 --> 00:33:40,717
they got to hook back up to the fresh,
clean Lake Huron water,
529
00:33:40,810 --> 00:33:42,038
- and everybody else...
- And we were like,
530
00:33:42,062 --> 00:33:44,304
"Well, what's happening
to our bodies?"
531
00:33:44,397 --> 00:33:46,855
And they went back to,
"It's safe.
532
00:33:46,942 --> 00:33:49,059
"It's meeting all federal
and state guidelines."
533
00:33:50,070 --> 00:33:52,232
And that was like the drum...
534
00:33:52,322 --> 00:33:54,300
But the auto parts that
had to be washed in the factory
535
00:33:54,324 --> 00:33:55,986
had to have the clean,
pure water.
536
00:33:56,076 --> 00:33:57,362
- Yeah.
- From Lake Huron.
537
00:33:57,452 --> 00:33:59,364
Yeah, because profit
reigns supreme.
538
00:34:03,458 --> 00:34:04,869
We didn't own
General Motors.
539
00:34:05,001 --> 00:34:09,291
That's why we didn't get
the clean, safe water.
540
00:34:12,008 --> 00:34:15,627
So, you know, Trump is looking
at this whole Flint water poisoning
541
00:34:16,221 --> 00:34:17,883
and he's got to be thinking,
542
00:34:18,515 --> 00:34:23,351
"Wow! The governor got away with
poisoning a majority black city?
543
00:34:24,563 --> 00:34:26,083
"What will I be able
to get away with?"
544
00:34:26,856 --> 00:34:29,143
Look at my African-American
over here.
545
00:34:29,234 --> 00:34:30,270
Look at him.
546
00:34:32,821 --> 00:34:34,483
Go home and get a job.
547
00:34:34,573 --> 00:34:36,235
Go home, get a job.
548
00:34:41,913 --> 00:34:44,280
Knock the crap out of them,
would you? Seriously.
549
00:34:44,374 --> 00:34:47,162
I will pay for
the legal fees. I promise.
550
00:34:47,544 --> 00:34:49,706
Now there's a remnant.
Yeah, he's right there.
551
00:34:49,796 --> 00:34:50,832
Hello.
552
00:34:50,964 --> 00:34:52,125
Uh-oh.
553
00:34:55,969 --> 00:35:00,088
In the good old days, they'd rip
him out of that seat so fast...
554
00:35:01,182 --> 00:35:03,799
Build that wall,
build that wall.
555
00:35:04,269 --> 00:35:06,352
Build that wall,
build that wall!
556
00:35:09,733 --> 00:35:13,898
We are going to make
America great again.
557
00:35:17,032 --> 00:35:19,649
I will tell you
that our system is broken.
558
00:35:19,784 --> 00:35:23,528
You know, most of the people on this stage
I've given to, just so you understand.
559
00:35:23,622 --> 00:35:25,955
Before this, before two months ago,
I was a businessman.
560
00:35:26,041 --> 00:35:28,328
I give to everybody.
When they call, I give.
561
00:35:28,460 --> 00:35:29,460
And you know what?
562
00:35:29,544 --> 00:35:32,662
When I need something from them two
years later, three years later,
563
00:35:32,756 --> 00:35:35,214
I call them,
they are there for me.
564
00:35:35,300 --> 00:35:37,041
And that's a broken system.
565
00:35:37,844 --> 00:35:41,133
He was right.
It is a broken system.
566
00:35:42,015 --> 00:35:44,758
So he decided
to break it some more
567
00:35:45,435 --> 00:35:49,475
by eliminating
all 16 Republican contenders.
568
00:35:49,814 --> 00:35:52,293
Well, you're not going to be able to
insult your way to the presidency.
569
00:35:52,317 --> 00:35:53,683
Excuse me, one second.
570
00:35:53,777 --> 00:35:56,269
This guy is a joke artist
and this guy is a liar.
571
00:35:56,363 --> 00:35:59,777
One by one,
he took down the Republican elites.
572
00:35:59,866 --> 00:36:01,323
Donald Trump said, quote,
573
00:36:01,409 --> 00:36:03,776
"Look at that face.
Would anyone vote for that?
574
00:36:03,870 --> 00:36:06,362
"Can you imagine that,
the face of our next president?"
575
00:36:06,873 --> 00:36:09,411
And boy
did it feel good
576
00:36:09,501 --> 00:36:12,039
watching him neuter
the final Bush.
577
00:36:12,128 --> 00:36:15,417
They lied. They said there were
weapons of mass destruction.
578
00:36:15,548 --> 00:36:17,540
They were none and they
knew they were none.
579
00:36:17,634 --> 00:36:19,500
We should have
never been in...
580
00:36:19,594 --> 00:36:22,632
I am sick and tired of him
going after my family.
581
00:36:22,764 --> 00:36:24,300
- Excuse me. One second.
- No.
582
00:36:24,432 --> 00:36:26,452
- I didn't want to...
- The simple fact is you cannot...
583
00:36:26,476 --> 00:36:28,012
More energy tonight.
I like that.
584
00:36:28,103 --> 00:36:31,096
...get back in the business
of creating a more peaceful world.
585
00:36:32,607 --> 00:36:33,643
Please clap.
586
00:36:34,859 --> 00:36:36,976
After destroying
the Republican party,
587
00:36:37,445 --> 00:36:40,529
Trump decided to outflank
Hillary on the left...
588
00:36:40,615 --> 00:36:44,359
Unlike her, who voted for the war
without knowing what she was doing,
589
00:36:44,452 --> 00:36:46,785
I would not have had
our people in Iraq.
590
00:36:46,871 --> 00:36:52,583
Taking one position after another
that was more liberal than hers.
591
00:36:52,752 --> 00:36:56,166
Don't vote for a Wall Street
sellout like Hillary Clinton.
592
00:36:57,298 --> 00:36:59,235
You made three speeches
for Goldman Sachs.
593
00:36:59,259 --> 00:37:01,626
You were paid $675,000.
594
00:37:01,720 --> 00:37:02,801
That's what they offered.
595
00:37:02,887 --> 00:37:06,346
On days where she would
make one or two campaign stops...
596
00:37:06,433 --> 00:37:09,972
Hillary Clinton attending a
number of private fundraisers,
597
00:37:10,061 --> 00:37:11,552
building those
campaign coffers.
598
00:37:11,646 --> 00:37:12,978
Trump was holding...
599
00:37:13,064 --> 00:37:15,977
...big rallies in
important swing states.
600
00:37:16,359 --> 00:37:19,773
You know it's not a good
sign when your campaign is sending
601
00:37:19,863 --> 00:37:22,981
cardboard cutouts
instead of you.
602
00:37:23,116 --> 00:37:25,574
Her approval ratings
are still underwater,
603
00:37:25,702 --> 00:37:28,382
and so it's better to send in either
surrogates who are more popular,
604
00:37:28,413 --> 00:37:30,826
or surrogates who can sort of
fly under the radar
605
00:37:30,915 --> 00:37:32,247
and just visit
with volunteers.
606
00:37:32,333 --> 00:37:35,246
And make sure
that your bumper sticker
607
00:37:35,336 --> 00:37:38,795
is just big enough
so no one can see it.
608
00:37:40,049 --> 00:37:42,462
The American people that live
outside the Beltway,
609
00:37:42,552 --> 00:37:43,668
that's the real America.
610
00:37:43,762 --> 00:37:45,173
That's the real people
out there,
611
00:37:45,305 --> 00:37:47,867
and those are the real people who
are going to go vote by the millions
612
00:37:47,891 --> 00:37:48,927
for Donald J. Trump.
613
00:37:49,017 --> 00:37:51,134
Real America sees
what's going on here.
614
00:37:51,269 --> 00:37:53,386
What I would call
the real America,
615
00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:55,392
which is working class.
616
00:37:55,482 --> 00:37:58,850
The people out here
in real America think it's crazy.
617
00:37:58,943 --> 00:38:03,904
There seems to be a misunderstanding
about who the real America is.
618
00:38:04,491 --> 00:38:08,826
Let me share with you a fact that
has never been stated in the press
619
00:38:09,412 --> 00:38:14,032
or reported on the nightly news,
or even spoken amongst ourselves.
620
00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:20,079
The United States of America
is a leftist country.
621
00:38:22,008 --> 00:38:23,008
That's right.
622
00:38:24,511 --> 00:38:27,925
We are one rocking,
shit-kicking, gay-loving,
623
00:38:28,056 --> 00:38:32,175
gun-rejecting, race-mixing,
pot-smoking, tree-hugging,
624
00:38:32,268 --> 00:38:34,555
hip-hopping, anywhere
breast-feeding,
625
00:38:34,646 --> 00:38:38,105
quinoa-cooking, left-leaning
liberal nation.
626
00:38:39,025 --> 00:38:40,561
Here are the facts.
627
00:38:41,361 --> 00:38:44,229
The vast majority
of Americans are pro-choice.
628
00:38:45,448 --> 00:38:46,939
They want equal pay for women,
629
00:38:48,117 --> 00:38:49,528
stronger environmental laws,
630
00:38:50,703 --> 00:38:51,910
legalized marijuana,
631
00:38:52,872 --> 00:38:54,408
a raise in the minimum wage,
632
00:38:55,583 --> 00:38:56,664
Medicare for all,
633
00:38:57,836 --> 00:38:58,836
tuition-free college,
634
00:39:00,004 --> 00:39:01,120
free child care,
635
00:39:01,548 --> 00:39:03,289
support for labor unions,
636
00:39:04,133 --> 00:39:05,999
a cut in the military budget,
637
00:39:06,719 --> 00:39:08,130
break up the big banks.
638
00:39:09,305 --> 00:39:11,843
Most Americans
don't even own a gun.
639
00:39:12,517 --> 00:39:16,932
And 75% believe that immigration
is good for the U.S.
640
00:39:17,564 --> 00:39:19,851
And on and on and on.
641
00:39:20,942 --> 00:39:22,808
Heck, Texas isn't even
white anymore.
642
00:39:24,237 --> 00:39:25,944
Houston had a lesbian mayor.
643
00:39:26,614 --> 00:39:29,573
When you think Texas,
you need to think lesbian.
644
00:39:30,034 --> 00:39:31,400
All power to the people.
645
00:39:32,579 --> 00:39:35,037
The values they stood
for in the '60s and '70s...
646
00:39:35,123 --> 00:39:37,410
This is a meeting
of American radicals.
647
00:39:37,500 --> 00:39:40,038
...are now the beliefs
of this great land.
648
00:39:40,128 --> 00:39:42,541
Put your whole face
over that. Yes, there.
649
00:39:42,630 --> 00:39:46,089
Those crazy
motherfuckers have won.
650
00:39:46,926 --> 00:39:51,136
And I love the smell of
essential oils in the morning.
651
00:39:54,183 --> 00:39:58,427
If America is us
and we're the majority,
652
00:39:58,521 --> 00:40:02,856
why is it that we do not hold
a single seat of power?
653
00:40:03,693 --> 00:40:06,356
Not the White House,
not the Senate,
654
00:40:06,446 --> 00:40:08,938
not the House,
not the Supreme Court.
655
00:40:09,699 --> 00:40:11,816
In 50 of our state capitals,
656
00:40:11,910 --> 00:40:14,823
the Democrats control
only eight of them.
657
00:40:16,331 --> 00:40:19,950
Yet, in six of the last seven
presidential elections,
658
00:40:20,501 --> 00:40:21,787
the popular vote
659
00:40:21,878 --> 00:40:24,461
was won by the Democrats.
660
00:40:24,756 --> 00:40:26,998
Which means the Republicans
have won only once
661
00:40:28,009 --> 00:40:30,342
in the last 30 years.
662
00:40:32,388 --> 00:40:36,803
This is the ceremony that
takes place every four years
663
00:40:37,518 --> 00:40:39,805
when the votes
of the Electoral College
664
00:40:39,896 --> 00:40:42,354
are brought in
to the US Congress
665
00:40:42,815 --> 00:40:44,772
inside baby coffins.
666
00:40:49,113 --> 00:40:53,983
What they should do is bury those ballots
with the Electoral College itself.
667
00:40:54,619 --> 00:40:57,077
The last vestige
in our Constitution
668
00:40:57,538 --> 00:41:02,329
that was written to appease the
slave states over 200 years ago.
669
00:41:04,379 --> 00:41:08,339
People, can we please
be done with this?
670
00:41:08,925 --> 00:41:12,339
The Sergeant at Arms,
remove the protesters from the gallery.
671
00:41:13,012 --> 00:41:15,755
Chamber
will be in order.
672
00:41:18,101 --> 00:41:22,391
You can't call it a democracy
if the person who gets the most votes
673
00:41:23,022 --> 00:41:24,103
doesn't win.
674
00:41:26,150 --> 00:41:29,359
So, if the American people
have made it very clear
675
00:41:29,529 --> 00:41:32,021
that they want the Democrats
running the country,
676
00:41:32,865 --> 00:41:34,527
then why aren't they?
677
00:41:35,410 --> 00:41:37,868
I'm prepared to make
a whole range of compromises.
678
00:41:38,329 --> 00:41:40,946
Compromise.
679
00:41:41,040 --> 00:41:42,622
We sat down
and made a compromise.
680
00:41:42,709 --> 00:41:44,701
Compromise.
681
00:41:44,794 --> 00:41:46,251
And real compromises.
682
00:41:46,337 --> 00:41:49,330
Compromise.
683
00:41:49,424 --> 00:41:51,131
God bless you,
Speaker Boehner.
684
00:41:51,801 --> 00:41:54,043
So, when did all this
compromising start?
685
00:41:55,930 --> 00:41:58,468
As far back as the last
president who said...
686
00:41:58,599 --> 00:42:00,636
Make America great again.
687
00:42:02,353 --> 00:42:04,094
No, not him.
688
00:42:04,188 --> 00:42:06,646
We can make America
great again.
689
00:42:06,733 --> 00:42:09,646
Him, Mr. Bill Clinton.
690
00:42:09,736 --> 00:42:12,023
The man from Hope, Arkansas.
691
00:42:13,031 --> 00:42:14,693
Back in the '80s and '90s,
692
00:42:14,782 --> 00:42:18,401
Republican campaigns were
flush with corporate cash
693
00:42:18,494 --> 00:42:20,326
and they were
winning elections.
694
00:42:20,913 --> 00:42:22,120
The Democrats, meanwhile,
695
00:42:22,206 --> 00:42:24,698
saw their labor base
decimated.
696
00:42:25,334 --> 00:42:26,825
Labor was so lost,
697
00:42:27,670 --> 00:42:30,913
they couldn't even come up with
something to put on their picket signs.
698
00:42:33,134 --> 00:42:38,050
So what better way to get in on the action
than to start acting like a Republican?
699
00:42:40,099 --> 00:42:42,341
Bill Clinton went on a tear,
700
00:42:42,435 --> 00:42:45,928
launching a mass incarceration
of black people,
701
00:42:47,023 --> 00:42:49,106
deregulating the banks
to let them run amok,
702
00:42:50,818 --> 00:42:52,730
shipping a million jobs
to Mexico
703
00:42:52,820 --> 00:42:54,402
under the guise of free trade,
704
00:42:55,782 --> 00:42:58,616
eliminating most welfare
support for the poor,
705
00:43:00,244 --> 00:43:02,907
and making it illegal
to marry someone
706
00:43:02,997 --> 00:43:04,033
of your gender.
707
00:43:05,792 --> 00:43:07,909
You might have started
asking yourself
708
00:43:08,252 --> 00:43:11,711
why you should even be participating
in the political process.
709
00:43:13,007 --> 00:43:15,044
Millions began to drop out.
710
00:43:16,344 --> 00:43:19,428
The 100 million
non-voters of America
711
00:43:19,514 --> 00:43:22,928
were essentially the country's
largest political party.
712
00:43:24,143 --> 00:43:27,727
Yet neither the Democrats nor the
Republicans sought their vote.
713
00:43:28,648 --> 00:43:31,140
As the Democrats became
more like Republicans,
714
00:43:32,610 --> 00:43:34,727
so did the entire
liberal establishment,
715
00:43:35,404 --> 00:43:37,441
led by the paper of record.
716
00:43:37,532 --> 00:43:40,115
Our source was
The New York Times.
717
00:43:40,785 --> 00:43:42,902
Catering to big business,
718
00:43:43,538 --> 00:43:47,532
minimizing social movements
like Occupy Wall Street,
719
00:43:47,625 --> 00:43:50,413
and cheerleading
every war we got into.
720
00:43:57,802 --> 00:44:00,419
We needed to go over
to that part of the world,
721
00:44:00,805 --> 00:44:04,424
and what they needed to see
was American boys and girls
722
00:44:04,767 --> 00:44:08,886
going house to house,
from Basra to Baghdad,
723
00:44:08,980 --> 00:44:11,848
basically saying,
"Suck on this."
724
00:44:13,109 --> 00:44:15,567
It also tries to
dictate elections.
725
00:44:16,737 --> 00:44:20,606
"Bernie Sanders' message
resonates with a certain age group.
726
00:44:21,242 --> 00:44:22,242
"His own."
727
00:44:22,702 --> 00:44:24,318
That's the headline.
728
00:44:25,204 --> 00:44:27,116
When you read
that now,
729
00:44:27,206 --> 00:44:29,869
after you know, seeing
what actually happened...
730
00:44:31,836 --> 00:44:33,748
Seeing Bernie in person
and like hearing...
731
00:44:34,172 --> 00:44:35,288
- Whoo!
- Bernie!
732
00:44:38,801 --> 00:44:43,011
The purpose of that
article was to try to stop you.
733
00:44:43,806 --> 00:44:45,593
Michael, it was
more than just that article.
734
00:44:46,100 --> 00:44:50,435
Look, we were a real threat
to the liberal establishment.
735
00:44:50,521 --> 00:44:54,265
Because if you think that The New
York Times or The Washington Post
736
00:44:54,358 --> 00:44:56,816
is really going to be
talking about the issues
737
00:44:56,903 --> 00:44:59,520
that are important to the
working people in this country,
738
00:44:59,614 --> 00:45:02,414
are going to be talking about the need
to take on the billionaire class,
739
00:45:02,450 --> 00:45:03,657
you would be very mistaken.
740
00:45:06,829 --> 00:45:08,491
People believed Bernie
741
00:45:08,581 --> 00:45:11,324
and that he was sincere
in what he was saying.
742
00:45:11,417 --> 00:45:12,811
They believed that if he got elected,
he was going to do these things.
743
00:45:12,835 --> 00:45:14,701
- Right.
- I was a big, big Bernie person.
744
00:45:14,795 --> 00:45:18,755
And Bernie won every single
county in West Virginia...
745
00:45:19,258 --> 00:45:20,374
- Counties.
- Yes.
746
00:45:20,885 --> 00:45:23,047
Every single county
went for Bernie,
747
00:45:23,137 --> 00:45:28,383
and in Mingo, Hillary came in third
place behind somebody named Paul Farrell.
748
00:45:28,643 --> 00:45:30,179
I don't even know
who that is, okay?
749
00:45:33,314 --> 00:45:38,810
Even though Bernie Sanders won
all 55 counties in West Virginia,
750
00:45:39,946 --> 00:45:42,029
with Hillary not winning
a single county,
751
00:45:42,698 --> 00:45:47,489
the West Virginia Democratic Party went
to the Democratic National Convention
752
00:45:48,246 --> 00:45:51,489
and told this lie
to the American people.
753
00:45:51,582 --> 00:45:55,201
- West Virginia, how do you...
- Madam Secretary,
754
00:45:55,294 --> 00:45:59,163
19 votes for the next president
of the United States,
755
00:45:59,257 --> 00:46:01,044
Hillary Rodham Clinton.
756
00:46:02,343 --> 00:46:05,586
And 18 votes
for Senator Bernie Sanders.
757
00:46:07,723 --> 00:46:09,885
A single lone West Virginian
758
00:46:11,143 --> 00:46:14,807
did her best to put her
little homemade sign
759
00:46:15,398 --> 00:46:16,889
within the camera frame,
760
00:46:18,025 --> 00:46:20,813
so that the American people
would know the truth.
761
00:46:22,405 --> 00:46:27,070
The West Virginia Democratic Party
decided to alter the results
762
00:46:27,159 --> 00:46:32,120
of the West Virginia primary by
ignoring the will of the people
763
00:46:32,790 --> 00:46:39,082
and adding their own super delegates,
i.e. party loyalists,
764
00:46:39,880 --> 00:46:41,837
people picked
by the party hacks,
765
00:46:43,259 --> 00:46:45,967
just like all the state
Democratic parties did.
766
00:46:46,721 --> 00:46:50,260
- Indiana.
- Hillary Rodham Clinton!
767
00:46:50,349 --> 00:46:53,183
- Michigan.
- Hillary Clinton.
768
00:46:53,269 --> 00:46:55,886
- Montana.
- Hillary Clinton.
769
00:46:56,230 --> 00:46:59,018
- New Hampshire.
- Hillary Clinton!
770
00:46:59,108 --> 00:47:02,146
- Rhode Island.
- Hillary Rodham Clinton.
771
00:47:02,236 --> 00:47:04,569
- Vermont.
- Hillary Clinton.
772
00:47:05,614 --> 00:47:10,234
I move that the convention
suspend the procedural rules,
773
00:47:10,786 --> 00:47:13,870
and I move that
Hillary Clinton be selected
774
00:47:13,956 --> 00:47:16,824
as the nominee of
the Democratic Party
775
00:47:16,917 --> 00:47:19,159
for president of
the United States.
776
00:47:43,277 --> 00:47:44,768
It was a betrayal.
777
00:47:45,488 --> 00:47:47,855
People were
so disgusted with it,
778
00:47:47,948 --> 00:47:50,611
people left the Democratic
Party. They just dim-exited.
779
00:47:50,701 --> 00:47:52,408
This just tells people
to stay home.
780
00:47:52,870 --> 00:47:54,361
- I think so.
- Don't bother.
781
00:47:54,497 --> 00:47:55,578
Bingo!
782
00:47:58,876 --> 00:48:01,334
When the people
are continually told
783
00:48:01,420 --> 00:48:02,877
that their vote doesn't count,
784
00:48:03,297 --> 00:48:06,415
that it doesn't matter,
and they end up believing that,
785
00:48:07,301 --> 00:48:12,046
the loss of faith in our democracy
becomes our death-knell.
786
00:48:15,017 --> 00:48:18,761
The strongman, the autocrat
only succeeds
787
00:48:19,230 --> 00:48:22,223
when a vast swath
of the population
788
00:48:22,316 --> 00:48:25,525
decides they've seen enough
and give up.
789
00:48:29,907 --> 00:48:31,694
But as the people of Flint
protested,
790
00:48:31,784 --> 00:48:36,028
the governor and his spokespeople
kept lying about the water.
791
00:48:36,122 --> 00:48:38,225
This is certainly a situation
that deserves attention.
792
00:48:38,249 --> 00:48:41,617
I do not think that it rises to the
level of a statewide emergency.
793
00:48:41,710 --> 00:48:45,545
- Why not?
- There's just...
794
00:48:47,007 --> 00:48:49,090
We are here
with the resources necessary
795
00:48:49,593 --> 00:48:51,880
to address the situation
without that declaration...
796
00:49:03,149 --> 00:49:05,937
Let's get the facts, let's keep
working this and let's remember,
797
00:49:06,026 --> 00:49:08,063
water isn't the only
source of lead,
798
00:49:08,195 --> 00:49:11,091
and so, we need to make sure we're
encouraging people to look at other places
799
00:49:11,115 --> 00:49:12,151
that can create a threat.
800
00:49:14,994 --> 00:49:19,329
I actually started working for the
Health Department in November of 2015.
801
00:49:19,582 --> 00:49:21,539
This is April Cook-Hawkins.
802
00:49:21,959 --> 00:49:24,497
She was asked to participate
in the cover-up.
803
00:49:24,795 --> 00:49:27,395
I was the case
manager here in Flint, Michigan.
804
00:49:27,798 --> 00:49:30,882
All of the results in regards
to the blood levels,
805
00:49:30,968 --> 00:49:34,803
I inputted those numbers and made sure
all of those numbers were correct.
806
00:49:35,723 --> 00:49:38,090
And while doing so,
she discovered that
807
00:49:38,184 --> 00:49:40,597
the government officials
had cooked the books.
808
00:49:41,687 --> 00:49:46,728
My supervisor asked if I would go in
and help them out with the numbers
809
00:49:47,943 --> 00:49:49,855
and not show certain things.
810
00:49:50,488 --> 00:49:53,151
If someone came in
and they test high,
811
00:49:53,240 --> 00:49:56,859
the Health Department didn't
want that number to be shown.
812
00:49:57,328 --> 00:50:01,447
She began secretly making
printouts of the falsified records
813
00:50:01,540 --> 00:50:05,705
and was afraid to show them
to anyone until she brought them to me.
814
00:50:06,170 --> 00:50:09,663
This is an actual document
that you kept as a piece of evidence.
815
00:50:10,049 --> 00:50:12,541
Yes. The normal number is 3.5.
816
00:50:12,635 --> 00:50:16,504
And anything over a 3.5 is
considered a high lead level.
817
00:50:17,056 --> 00:50:19,423
Six, six, five,
818
00:50:19,683 --> 00:50:24,803
six, five, five, six,
seven, 10,
819
00:50:24,897 --> 00:50:28,311
six, eight, six, six, 14.
820
00:50:28,400 --> 00:50:30,813
Not a single number
that says 3.5 or lower.
821
00:50:30,945 --> 00:50:32,982
- No.
- That means every child
822
00:50:33,656 --> 00:50:36,239
on this sheet of paper has
an elevated level of lead.
823
00:50:36,367 --> 00:50:37,367
Yeah.
824
00:50:37,451 --> 00:50:40,194
And I said, "So let's just call
the parents and re-test,"
825
00:50:40,287 --> 00:50:41,778
and they said,
"No, we can't do that.
826
00:50:41,872 --> 00:50:43,738
"Just put them in
as a 3.5, then."
827
00:50:44,625 --> 00:50:47,938
So, the parents aren't able to start
taking immediate action to help the child
828
00:50:47,962 --> 00:50:49,544
that's been lead-poisoned.
829
00:50:49,630 --> 00:50:50,962
They think
their child is fine.
830
00:50:51,340 --> 00:50:53,297
"My child tested low."
831
00:50:54,635 --> 00:50:57,875
You knew these parents were getting
letters that were not telling the truth.
832
00:50:58,597 --> 00:50:59,758
Correct.
833
00:50:59,848 --> 00:51:01,805
"Just put them in
as a 3.5, then."
834
00:51:03,477 --> 00:51:05,719
- And you said...
- I said, no, I couldn't do it.
835
00:51:05,813 --> 00:51:08,681
And that's when things
kind of hit the fan for me.
836
00:51:09,483 --> 00:51:11,065
Somebody told
somebody to do this,
837
00:51:12,236 --> 00:51:15,070
to cover up what the state
was really up to.
838
00:51:15,155 --> 00:51:16,236
Yes.
839
00:51:31,338 --> 00:51:35,127
I look at the lifestyles
of the kids that's been born into this.
840
00:51:35,217 --> 00:51:36,298
You know what they know?
841
00:51:36,385 --> 00:51:40,720
They know a bottle of water
and toothbrush and toothpaste is normal.
842
00:51:40,848 --> 00:51:42,885
That's how I brushed
my teeth in Iraq.
843
00:51:43,642 --> 00:51:46,225
I took bottled
water showers in Iraq.
844
00:51:46,478 --> 00:51:48,811
So, I compare
how I live now
845
00:51:48,897 --> 00:51:51,230
to how I lived in Iraq
as far as when it comes to water.
846
00:51:51,317 --> 00:51:53,900
I had more
water supply in Iraq than I do now.
847
00:51:54,069 --> 00:51:56,402
And we need to not have
the highest water bills
848
00:51:56,488 --> 00:51:57,774
in the nation.
849
00:51:57,865 --> 00:51:58,946
Especially since Flint,
850
00:51:59,033 --> 00:52:03,027
Michigan has 85% of the
nation's fresh surface water,
851
00:52:03,162 --> 00:52:04,528
20% of the world.
852
00:52:04,622 --> 00:52:06,284
You know, there's people
who have to
853
00:52:06,373 --> 00:52:10,162
choose between their
water bill or medication.
854
00:52:10,294 --> 00:52:13,503
Water bill or child care.
Water bill or car note.
855
00:52:13,589 --> 00:52:15,205
Water bill or rent.
856
00:52:15,299 --> 00:52:19,259
When you have the highest
water rates in the nation
857
00:52:19,386 --> 00:52:25,849
and the poorest city in the nation,
statistically, who has time to process?
858
00:52:25,934 --> 00:52:28,802
You may want to,
but you have to feed your family.
859
00:52:31,982 --> 00:52:35,771
What this disaster created
is a prison called Flint.
860
00:52:37,237 --> 00:52:39,320
No one would move here.
861
00:52:40,240 --> 00:52:42,983
Which meant
no one could leave.
862
00:52:43,577 --> 00:52:47,366
If I was going to describe Flint
to someone from out of the state,
863
00:52:47,456 --> 00:52:48,947
that had never been here,
864
00:52:49,500 --> 00:52:55,212
I would let them know that
we have a very good...
865
00:52:55,673 --> 00:52:56,959
Um...
866
00:53:03,263 --> 00:53:05,630
So, that is usually
the most common question.
867
00:53:05,724 --> 00:53:06,951
People say,
"Why don't you just move?"
868
00:53:06,975 --> 00:53:08,932
Would you buy my house
for what I owe on it?
869
00:53:13,065 --> 00:53:16,729
Unfortunately,
this water crisis could be almost
870
00:53:18,195 --> 00:53:20,312
the final nail in the coffin
for Flint.
871
00:53:24,827 --> 00:53:27,865
And then people started
dying of Legionnaires' disease.
872
00:53:36,505 --> 00:53:38,775
This outbreak of Legionnaires'
was one of the highest in the country.
873
00:53:38,799 --> 00:53:41,542
And it was directly related
to the water crisis.
874
00:53:42,761 --> 00:53:48,132
This is the family of NBA star,
Flint's own Roy Marble.
875
00:53:49,768 --> 00:53:52,010
They lost their mother
to Legionnaires' disease,
876
00:53:52,563 --> 00:53:57,149
which she contracted from the
contaminated water at Flint's hospital.
877
00:53:58,652 --> 00:54:00,814
And I miss her so much.
878
00:54:02,239 --> 00:54:03,320
I do.
879
00:54:03,866 --> 00:54:08,861
And I wish to this day, I would've
just taken my mom to Ann Arbor.
880
00:54:09,455 --> 00:54:10,912
I wish I would have.
881
00:54:12,207 --> 00:54:13,664
I wish I would have.
882
00:54:14,918 --> 00:54:16,910
And they knew
what was going on.
883
00:54:18,297 --> 00:54:19,754
That's the sad part about it.
884
00:54:19,882 --> 00:54:22,374
They knew what was going on.
885
00:54:34,980 --> 00:54:36,562
Yeah.
886
00:54:38,567 --> 00:54:39,978
Yeah!
887
00:54:40,068 --> 00:54:41,275
Get your hand off me.
888
00:54:42,780 --> 00:54:43,896
Don't touch my wife.
889
00:54:49,620 --> 00:54:50,620
Non-testing.
890
00:55:02,382 --> 00:55:04,102
Snyder has got to go!
891
00:55:06,678 --> 00:55:08,398
You know, let's call
this what it is.
892
00:55:09,264 --> 00:55:11,221
It's not just a water crisis.
893
00:55:11,308 --> 00:55:13,425
- It's genocide.
- It's a racial crisis.
894
00:55:13,852 --> 00:55:15,889
- It's a poverty crisis.
- That's right.
895
00:55:15,979 --> 00:55:18,847
We need the president
of the United States here.
896
00:55:18,941 --> 00:55:20,398
We need federal help.
897
00:55:21,026 --> 00:55:26,818
We need FEMA, we need the EPA,
we need the CDC,
898
00:55:26,907 --> 00:55:28,990
and we need
the Army Corps of Engineers.
899
00:55:36,083 --> 00:55:38,163
- You are asking three questions now.
- Okay.
900
00:55:38,544 --> 00:55:40,344
And that goes to your point
about being civil.
901
00:55:40,879 --> 00:55:44,043
In many respects, you haven't been the
most civil about this whole situation.
902
00:55:44,758 --> 00:55:46,750
And I'm always happy
to answer questions.
903
00:55:46,844 --> 00:55:48,881
We stayed here to answer
additional questions
904
00:55:49,304 --> 00:55:51,421
and we're trying to be open
and transparent.
905
00:55:54,059 --> 00:55:58,144
He had been
anything but open and transparent.
906
00:55:59,481 --> 00:56:02,599
Thanks to an investigation
by the Michigan ACLU,
907
00:56:03,068 --> 00:56:05,902
the public learned that the
governor's office had covered up
908
00:56:05,988 --> 00:56:09,277
the poisoning of Flint
for nearly a year and a half.
909
00:56:15,330 --> 00:56:19,040
We've been to homes
like Saturday and one today,
910
00:56:19,126 --> 00:56:22,369
where there's holes
in the windows.
911
00:56:23,130 --> 00:56:24,962
And there's little,
young children,
912
00:56:25,048 --> 00:56:30,464
they've got a little blanket around them
and many of them had fallen on hard times.
913
00:56:31,889 --> 00:56:35,883
I saw two babies shivering and
I'm bringing them bottled water,
914
00:56:35,976 --> 00:56:37,896
and the mother thinks
I'm like the Second Coming.
915
00:56:38,979 --> 00:56:42,472
You know what my thought was?
I thought, "That son of a bitch."
916
00:56:43,483 --> 00:56:44,961
- That's what I thought.
- The governor.
917
00:56:44,985 --> 00:56:46,942
To do that to our people.
918
00:56:47,029 --> 00:56:48,861
Right, right, right.
919
00:56:49,323 --> 00:56:51,610
He should be
charged criminally.
920
00:56:52,701 --> 00:56:55,409
Once he was advised
by his chief of staff
921
00:56:55,996 --> 00:56:59,706
that the water had lead levels
above what was acceptable,
922
00:57:00,000 --> 00:57:04,791
and he continued the program and
didn't bring it to anyone's attention,
923
00:57:04,880 --> 00:57:07,122
many of his administrators
in fact fought it,
924
00:57:07,549 --> 00:57:09,586
that makes it
an intentional act.
925
00:57:09,885 --> 00:57:12,093
So, for every hour
after he knew
926
00:57:12,554 --> 00:57:16,719
that that water was essentially poisoning
these children, it's a criminal act.
927
00:57:16,808 --> 00:57:18,265
I think it's a criminal act.
928
00:57:22,773 --> 00:57:24,514
No terrorist organization
929
00:57:24,608 --> 00:57:29,569
has yet to figure out how to
poison an entire American city.
930
00:57:31,073 --> 00:57:33,611
That took the Republican Party
of Michigan
931
00:57:33,700 --> 00:57:36,534
and its CEO governor
to pull off.
932
00:57:45,087 --> 00:57:48,831
I decided to go
and make a citizen's arrest.
933
00:57:50,342 --> 00:57:51,674
I'm here, governor's office.
934
00:57:52,177 --> 00:57:53,884
- Okay, just hold on a minute.
- All right.
935
00:57:54,930 --> 00:57:56,574
- I'll get someone to help you.
- All right.
936
00:58:02,104 --> 00:58:04,221
Ari Adler,
Governor's director of communications.
937
00:58:04,314 --> 00:58:05,375
Oh, great, thank you.
Thank you very much.
938
00:58:05,399 --> 00:58:06,480
Sure, what can I
do for you?
939
00:58:06,566 --> 00:58:10,435
So, I'm here to
make a citizen's arrest of the governor
940
00:58:10,529 --> 00:58:12,769
and I'm wondering
if you can help facilitate that for me.
941
00:58:13,156 --> 00:58:14,522
Okay, no,
governor's not here.
942
00:58:14,616 --> 00:58:16,027
For poisoning
the people of Flint.
943
00:58:16,159 --> 00:58:18,902
- Well...
- Knowingly poisoning the people of Flint.
944
00:58:18,996 --> 00:58:20,703
There were mistakes made.
945
00:58:21,498 --> 00:58:22,909
There was
a water crisis in Flint.
946
00:58:23,041 --> 00:58:25,328
Water quality in Flint
is now testing
947
00:58:25,961 --> 00:58:29,045
well below any kind of action
level at the federal level.
948
00:58:29,131 --> 00:58:30,131
So, the water is safe?
949
00:58:30,257 --> 00:58:32,624
Well, some of the current tests
are currently showing that
950
00:58:32,718 --> 00:58:34,362
it's actually testing
better than bottled water.
951
00:58:34,386 --> 00:58:35,502
Better than bottled water?
952
00:58:35,595 --> 00:58:38,303
I actually have a glass of water
here from the city of Flint,
953
00:58:38,432 --> 00:58:40,765
- I brought with me all the way from Flint.
- Mmm-hmm.
954
00:58:41,101 --> 00:58:43,593
If it is great water,
would you mind drinking it right now?
955
00:58:43,687 --> 00:58:46,851
I'm not gonna just drink a glass of water
that I don't know where it came from.
956
00:58:46,940 --> 00:58:48,126
I just told you,
it came from Flint.
957
00:58:48,150 --> 00:58:50,267
If you'd like information...
958
00:58:50,360 --> 00:58:52,647
You think this water
is still poisonous.
959
00:58:52,738 --> 00:58:54,195
I do not think that at all.
960
00:59:18,513 --> 00:59:20,254
Governor Snyder? Hello.
961
00:59:22,934 --> 00:59:24,015
Hello, hi.
962
00:59:24,978 --> 00:59:26,594
It's Michael Moore.
Are you home?
963
00:59:29,066 --> 00:59:30,102
He's not coming out.
964
00:59:30,817 --> 00:59:33,355
All right,
let's hose them down.
965
01:00:03,809 --> 01:00:06,096
I just got back from Flint
966
01:00:07,187 --> 01:00:10,430
Yeah, that Flint
967
01:00:13,860 --> 01:00:18,696
I saw that dirty water
with my own eyes
968
01:00:20,450 --> 01:00:22,487
But not to my surprise
969
01:00:23,703 --> 01:00:27,697
Governor Snyder
You're not much of a provider
970
01:00:28,500 --> 01:00:31,334
'Cause Flint ain't fixed
971
01:00:32,003 --> 01:00:34,746
Every single child in Flint...
972
01:00:34,840 --> 01:00:37,207
Flint ain't fixed
973
01:00:37,342 --> 01:00:38,924
Ten thousand children...
974
01:00:39,511 --> 01:00:42,003
Flint ain't fixed
975
01:00:42,139 --> 01:00:43,220
...had drank the lead.
976
01:00:44,975 --> 01:00:47,058
Flint ain't fixed
977
01:00:51,690 --> 01:00:53,556
The children up there are sick
978
01:00:54,693 --> 01:00:58,061
The lead in the water is thick
979
01:00:59,114 --> 01:01:01,447
Flint ain't fixed
980
01:01:04,286 --> 01:01:05,555
I wasn't born here,
981
01:01:05,579 --> 01:01:08,743
and we came to this country
very much for that American dream.
982
01:01:10,041 --> 01:01:12,784
And you know, with nothing
besides education.
983
01:01:12,878 --> 01:01:15,871
My dad was a GM employee,
my mom was a teacher,
984
01:01:15,964 --> 01:01:18,297
benefited from
union contracts.
985
01:01:19,217 --> 01:01:22,210
Sent their kids
to Michigan's public schools.
986
01:01:22,304 --> 01:01:23,840
The American dream
worked for us.
987
01:01:23,930 --> 01:01:25,546
It worked for me
and my family
988
01:01:25,640 --> 01:01:28,257
the way that it does not work
for the kids that I take care of
989
01:01:28,351 --> 01:01:29,762
in my clinic every day.
990
01:01:29,936 --> 01:01:32,303
They are literally waking up
to a nightmare.
991
01:01:32,647 --> 01:01:35,685
The nightmare of injustice,
poverty,
992
01:01:35,859 --> 01:01:40,024
lost democracy and that is another
lesson we need to learn from Flint.
993
01:01:41,656 --> 01:01:45,400
Maybe that's why it's called a dream
because it's not a reality for everybody.
994
01:01:45,493 --> 01:01:46,679
- No, it's not.
- Right?
995
01:01:46,703 --> 01:01:48,535
No, there are
multiple Americas.
996
01:02:04,971 --> 01:02:08,510
You deploy because your
nation sends you to these places.
997
01:02:09,267 --> 01:02:12,510
And then one day you come home
and you realize it was all a lie.
998
01:02:13,647 --> 01:02:14,763
Our town is dying.
999
01:02:15,190 --> 01:02:17,790
One out of every four homes is an
abandoned, dilapidated structure
1000
01:02:17,859 --> 01:02:19,225
and you get told,
1001
01:02:19,319 --> 01:02:22,153
"Keep picking up trash and let
leaders do what leaders do."
1002
01:02:22,322 --> 01:02:28,444
Elected leaders in our towns,
in our states, in our country,
1003
01:02:29,371 --> 01:02:31,112
absolutely are self-serving.
1004
01:02:31,206 --> 01:02:34,199
They have no idea of what
it's like for a single parent
1005
01:02:34,751 --> 01:02:36,959
to put food on the table
for her child.
1006
01:02:37,337 --> 01:02:39,169
You know, you come home
and you realize...
1007
01:02:39,256 --> 01:02:43,375
I can take you five minutes from
here and show you where kids
1008
01:02:43,468 --> 01:02:47,087
have it worse than the kids I
saw in Iraq and Afghanistan.
1009
01:02:47,681 --> 01:02:49,138
So, that's why
I come back here
1010
01:02:49,224 --> 01:02:51,505
and I started speaking up
for the things that I believe in
1011
01:02:51,559 --> 01:02:53,050
and I will not shut up
for nobody.
1012
01:02:53,520 --> 01:02:55,011
And I don't give a shit
who you are,
1013
01:02:55,146 --> 01:02:56,887
I'll fight you
in the damn street right now.
1014
01:02:58,483 --> 01:02:59,564
Okay, well...
1015
01:03:00,110 --> 01:03:01,146
Um...
1016
01:03:01,236 --> 01:03:04,400
I am sick and tired of people telling me
that America is the greatest country.
1017
01:03:04,489 --> 01:03:06,151
Because we can
whip your ass?
1018
01:03:07,701 --> 01:03:11,160
I mean, we don't have healthcare
for everybody. We don't have that.
1019
01:03:11,288 --> 01:03:14,577
We have homelessness that's everywhere,
we have an opioid epidemic
1020
01:03:14,666 --> 01:03:18,831
that has absolutely
destroyed our communities.
1021
01:03:18,962 --> 01:03:20,453
Has killed
more people last year
1022
01:03:20,547 --> 01:03:22,664
than all of the lives lost
in the Vietnam War.
1023
01:03:22,799 --> 01:03:25,337
And we are not willing to go
to war against Big Pharma?
1024
01:03:25,427 --> 01:03:27,885
How come we don't have more
people like you on our side?
1025
01:03:27,971 --> 01:03:28,971
We do.
1026
01:03:29,097 --> 01:03:30,908
Let me tell you something,
there are many a people out there.
1027
01:03:30,932 --> 01:03:31,968
Where are they?
1028
01:03:35,520 --> 01:03:37,807
My name's Alexandria,
I'm running for Congress here.
1029
01:03:39,983 --> 01:03:42,712
I looked at
the match between our representation,
1030
01:03:42,736 --> 01:03:44,068
our community,
1031
01:03:44,154 --> 01:03:47,522
the special interests that are kind
of hurting what's going on here,
1032
01:03:48,408 --> 01:03:51,595
and then I looked around and saw that the
seat hadn't been challenged in 14 years.
1033
01:03:51,619 --> 01:03:55,454
It really just felt like
if nobody's gonna do it,
1034
01:03:55,540 --> 01:03:57,372
then I gotta do it.
1035
01:03:57,584 --> 01:04:01,168
My name is Rashida Tlaib,
I'm running for the US Congress.
1036
01:04:01,254 --> 01:04:03,166
I'm running to become
their next congressman
1037
01:04:03,256 --> 01:04:04,292
in the midterm elections.
1038
01:04:04,382 --> 01:04:07,420
I'm here doing this because
listening to the speeches
1039
01:04:07,510 --> 01:04:09,797
at the Women's March
inspired me.
1040
01:04:09,929 --> 01:04:12,421
I'm a professional backyard
chicken farmer.
1041
01:04:12,515 --> 01:04:14,097
I had never run before.
1042
01:04:14,225 --> 01:04:16,683
- And you're an author?
- It's just a how-to book.
1043
01:04:16,770 --> 01:04:17,851
It's called My Pet Chicken.
1044
01:04:17,937 --> 01:04:19,769
In the back, I have recipes.
1045
01:04:20,523 --> 01:04:24,142
I believe that in a modern,
moral and wealthy society,
1046
01:04:24,611 --> 01:04:27,274
no person in America
should be too poor to live.
1047
01:04:27,781 --> 01:04:29,425
That's what I feel.
1048
01:04:29,449 --> 01:04:30,485
It's simple.
1049
01:04:30,575 --> 01:04:33,943
Her views, her policy positions are
actually downright scary.
1050
01:04:34,079 --> 01:04:37,072
Let's see, single-payer
universal healthcare,
1051
01:04:37,165 --> 01:04:40,033
universal jobs,
government-subsidized housing,
1052
01:04:40,126 --> 01:04:45,417
free colleges, she wants to abolish ICE,
and of course, impeach President Trump.
1053
01:04:45,507 --> 01:04:48,250
I don't think he knows how to
deal with a girl from the Bronx.
1054
01:04:49,928 --> 01:04:51,214
We'll see.
1055
01:04:51,304 --> 01:04:53,512
People always say, "You gotta
wait your turn, Rashida."
1056
01:04:53,598 --> 01:04:55,659
I was like, "What turn?
I didn't know there was a line."
1057
01:04:55,683 --> 01:04:57,766
I'm actually
running for Congress.
1058
01:04:57,852 --> 01:04:59,343
Hi, sweetie!
1059
01:04:59,437 --> 01:05:02,555
You've probably also seen me get
kicked out of the Trump rally.
1060
01:05:02,649 --> 01:05:04,515
Donald Trump was coming,
1061
01:05:04,609 --> 01:05:06,521
he was less than
a couple miles from my house.
1062
01:05:06,861 --> 01:05:09,695
We found out that
the Detroit Economic Club
1063
01:05:09,823 --> 01:05:14,033
was not going to allow questions,
first time ever in history.
1064
01:05:14,411 --> 01:05:16,323
Well, we were
taken aback by that.
1065
01:05:16,413 --> 01:05:18,325
Why can't we ask questions?
1066
01:05:18,415 --> 01:05:20,623
So 12 women came there,
1067
01:05:20,708 --> 01:05:22,700
and every two minutes,
interrupted.
1068
01:05:23,169 --> 01:05:25,035
...in terms of violent crime.
1069
01:05:25,880 --> 01:05:29,123
Asking questions about,
what is his stance on labor organizing?
1070
01:05:29,217 --> 01:05:31,049
What is his stance
on sexual harassment?
1071
01:05:31,553 --> 01:05:35,046
Today, I will outline
my economic vision.
1072
01:05:35,306 --> 01:05:36,842
In the coming weeks...
1073
01:05:50,655 --> 01:05:54,148
My campaign is about
reaching out to everyone
1074
01:05:54,284 --> 01:05:57,573
as Americans,
and returning to a government
1075
01:05:57,829 --> 01:06:01,163
that puts
the American people first.
1076
01:06:07,297 --> 01:06:09,505
My question was,
"Have you read the Constitution?
1077
01:06:09,591 --> 01:06:11,082
"What part
of the Constitution?"
1078
01:06:16,973 --> 01:06:19,340
That was the most American
thing I could have done.
1079
01:06:24,439 --> 01:06:28,399
A lot of my colleagues said,
"Oh, a little too aggressive."
1080
01:06:31,779 --> 01:06:34,396
A Democratic state senator
called and said,
1081
01:06:34,491 --> 01:06:36,699
"Do you think that was
really necessary?"
1082
01:06:36,951 --> 01:06:39,864
And two of my Republican
colleagues were like,
1083
01:06:39,954 --> 01:06:42,867
"Really proud of you, girl.
I don't agree with everything,
1084
01:06:42,957 --> 01:06:47,076
"but good for you." There's a sense of
respect, ironically from the other side,
1085
01:06:47,545 --> 01:06:49,753
for the way I approach issues.
1086
01:06:51,257 --> 01:06:53,670
One thing
was abundantly clear.
1087
01:06:53,760 --> 01:06:55,968
These candidates
were fighters.
1088
01:06:57,222 --> 01:07:01,057
People deserve someone who's gonna fight
for the people and not corporations.
1089
01:07:01,142 --> 01:07:03,885
To be able to encourage
someone to run for office...
1090
01:07:04,020 --> 01:07:07,855
Man, it is truly the lack of
political will from our Democrats.
1091
01:07:08,149 --> 01:07:11,142
And their backbone is
literally just missing.
1092
01:07:11,236 --> 01:07:13,478
Right, and you put both of
those components together,
1093
01:07:13,571 --> 01:07:15,291
and then on top of that,
you're taking money
1094
01:07:15,323 --> 01:07:17,563
from the same folks the
Republicans are taking money from.
1095
01:07:17,700 --> 01:07:19,862
The Democratic Party
should be
1096
01:07:19,953 --> 01:07:23,117
recruiting extraordinary
ordinary Americans
1097
01:07:23,206 --> 01:07:26,574
that actually get on the same
bus as their constituents,
1098
01:07:26,668 --> 01:07:29,911
actually have kids in those public
schools and understand what it feels like
1099
01:07:30,004 --> 01:07:32,087
for a teacher not to get paid
real salaries,
1100
01:07:32,173 --> 01:07:33,630
or lack of resources, right?
1101
01:07:33,716 --> 01:07:36,003
The definition
of electoral insanity
1102
01:07:36,094 --> 01:07:39,633
is trying to re-elect these
same guys over and over again
1103
01:07:39,722 --> 01:07:41,805
and expecting our country
to be any different.
1104
01:07:41,891 --> 01:07:44,258
For the first time,
Democrats will have
1105
01:07:44,352 --> 01:07:46,810
an all-female
statewide ticket.
1106
01:07:46,896 --> 01:07:48,182
And on that list,
1107
01:07:48,273 --> 01:07:49,559
Rashida Tlaib,
1108
01:07:49,649 --> 01:07:53,233
she's poised to become the
first Muslim woman in Congress...
1109
01:07:53,319 --> 01:07:55,402
We're not ready
to give up on the party,
1110
01:07:55,488 --> 01:07:57,104
we're just
ready to take it over.
1111
01:07:57,240 --> 01:07:58,759
And let's put some people
in there that get it.
1112
01:07:58,783 --> 01:08:00,543
- Because we felt the...
- Take it over.
1113
01:08:00,660 --> 01:08:02,617
Take it over!
Take it over, Michael.
1114
01:08:03,288 --> 01:08:05,575
It was already
being taken over.
1115
01:08:06,833 --> 01:08:10,417
Hundreds, if not thousands
of insurgent candidates,
1116
01:08:10,503 --> 01:08:12,665
many of them women.
1117
01:08:13,006 --> 01:08:15,293
They weren'tjust running
against Republicans.
1118
01:08:15,550 --> 01:08:19,715
They were running against the
establishment of the Democratic Party
1119
01:08:19,804 --> 01:08:22,922
that has led them to defeat
for so many years.
1120
01:08:23,558 --> 01:08:25,049
This old guard
1121
01:08:25,143 --> 01:08:28,978
had tried to keep the candidates
on the moderate side of things.
1122
01:08:29,105 --> 01:08:32,769
To stay in the center,
to not rock the boat.
1123
01:08:33,359 --> 01:08:35,772
In other words, to lose.
1124
01:08:36,654 --> 01:08:39,613
51% of people
between 18 and 29
1125
01:08:39,699 --> 01:08:41,907
no longer support
the system of capitalism.
1126
01:08:41,993 --> 01:08:43,859
Well, I thank you
for your question,
1127
01:08:43,953 --> 01:08:46,411
but I have to say,
we're capitalists.
1128
01:08:46,497 --> 01:08:48,033
And that's just the way it is.
1129
01:08:48,124 --> 01:08:52,710
The "we" who are capitalists,
is she talking about her constituents?
1130
01:08:53,588 --> 01:08:57,798
Or maybe she means the people
who fund the Democratic Party.
1131
01:08:59,218 --> 01:09:01,335
They enlisted their friends
in the media
1132
01:09:01,429 --> 01:09:05,673
to tamp down the Democratic
revolution that was underway.
1133
01:09:05,767 --> 01:09:07,759
I think the party moved
too far to the left.
1134
01:09:07,852 --> 01:09:09,218
Much farther to the left,
1135
01:09:09,312 --> 01:09:11,178
and out of touch with
the working class voters.
1136
01:09:11,272 --> 01:09:13,309
And if her win makes her
1137
01:09:13,399 --> 01:09:16,608
into what Kellyanne Conway
called
1138
01:09:16,694 --> 01:09:18,560
"the new face
of the Democratic Party,"
1139
01:09:18,696 --> 01:09:21,609
the Democratic Party is not
going to have a very bright future.
1140
01:09:24,369 --> 01:09:27,487
The worst damage happens
behind closed doors,
1141
01:09:27,830 --> 01:09:30,698
where Democratic Party leaders
do their best
1142
01:09:30,792 --> 01:09:33,079
to stamp out
the hopes and dreams
1143
01:09:33,169 --> 01:09:36,958
of those who would like
the Democrats to actually win.
1144
01:09:38,508 --> 01:09:41,376
Take the case
of Levi Tillemann of Colorado,
1145
01:09:41,469 --> 01:09:43,677
a Democrat who was
running for Congress.
1146
01:09:44,097 --> 01:09:47,056
Levi was struggling because
the Democratic leaders
1147
01:09:47,183 --> 01:09:51,427
threw all of the party's money behind
a more moderate, handpicked candidate.
1148
01:09:52,563 --> 01:09:55,055
So Levi secretly recorded
his conversation
1149
01:09:55,191 --> 01:09:59,060
with the number two Democratic
leader in the house, Steny Hoyer,
1150
01:09:59,153 --> 01:10:02,863
who then schooled Levi
on how this all works.
1151
01:10:53,541 --> 01:10:55,157
My name is Alexandria.
1152
01:10:55,418 --> 01:10:56,603
Getting on the ballot,
1153
01:10:56,627 --> 01:10:58,960
we ended up rolling
into the Board of Elections,
1154
01:10:59,046 --> 01:11:02,710
and we turned in almost five times
the required amount of signatures.
1155
01:11:02,800 --> 01:11:03,916
On this street?
1156
01:11:04,010 --> 01:11:08,880
We left, and within 15 minutes, these,
like, super high-priced lawyers
1157
01:11:08,973 --> 01:11:12,557
came rolling into the Board of
Elections demanding to pull our files,
1158
01:11:12,685 --> 01:11:15,205
- looking through every single one.
- The Democratic Party.
1159
01:11:15,271 --> 01:11:17,684
Looking through to see
who they could bump off.
1160
01:11:17,774 --> 01:11:20,187
I'm running
a grassroots campaign.
1161
01:11:20,276 --> 01:11:23,189
I'm not accepting money
from Big Pharma and big energy.
1162
01:11:23,321 --> 01:11:26,940
You know, my team. I have received
messages from people all over America
1163
01:11:27,074 --> 01:11:28,634
that say, "Who's running
your campaign?"
1164
01:11:28,659 --> 01:11:30,321
And when I tell them,
they are floored.
1165
01:11:30,453 --> 01:11:31,722
What do you mean by who's...
1166
01:11:31,746 --> 01:11:34,475
You mean, like, who's your campaign
director, your finance director...
1167
01:11:34,499 --> 01:11:38,493
My campaign manager drives a truck.
He's a cross-country truck driver.
1168
01:11:38,586 --> 01:11:41,169
Right now,
he's in North Carolina, driving a truck.
1169
01:11:41,255 --> 01:11:43,108
- And that's his full-time job?
- And he's another person
1170
01:11:43,132 --> 01:11:45,569
that will fist-fight you
in the street for what he believes in.
1171
01:11:45,593 --> 01:11:47,710
Now I have to fist-fight
two of you in the street.
1172
01:11:48,179 --> 01:11:49,715
Fuck, come on man...
1173
01:11:50,014 --> 01:11:52,131
It's how we roll down here
in West Virginia.
1174
01:11:54,143 --> 01:11:57,978
You don't have to be ex-military
to have the fighting spirit.
1175
01:11:59,190 --> 01:12:03,059
Sometimes the bravest people are
the ones you'd least expect.
1176
01:12:04,278 --> 01:12:05,714
When you're a teacher in West Virginia,
1177
01:12:05,738 --> 01:12:08,776
you're so much more
than a teacher.
1178
01:12:08,866 --> 01:12:11,904
We're social workers,
we're mothers.
1179
01:12:11,994 --> 01:12:14,236
I know last year...
I teach seniors,
1180
01:12:14,330 --> 01:12:17,914
there were eight students in my class
that had me in their cell phone as "Mom."
1181
01:12:18,000 --> 01:12:20,037
That was how I was listed
in their contact.
1182
01:12:20,795 --> 01:12:22,787
- So... Mom.
- As "Mom"?
1183
01:12:23,631 --> 01:12:25,918
Yes, you're
the mother figure because
1184
01:12:26,008 --> 01:12:29,501
their mother abandoned them
five years ago.
1185
01:12:29,595 --> 01:12:32,212
Their mother died
of a drug overdose.
1186
01:12:32,306 --> 01:12:34,639
I've had all these situations
that's happened.
1187
01:12:34,767 --> 01:12:37,851
But we still live paycheck
to paycheck simply because
1188
01:12:38,187 --> 01:12:40,600
we don't make
hardly any money.
1189
01:12:41,232 --> 01:12:46,603
The teacher's pay in West Virginia
is ranked 48th out of the 50 states.
1190
01:12:47,738 --> 01:12:50,446
Some of these teachers live
below the poverty line,
1191
01:12:50,533 --> 01:12:53,025
and qualify for food stamps.
1192
01:12:53,911 --> 01:12:55,991
I think every teacher
in West Virginia knows
1193
01:12:56,038 --> 01:12:59,156
several that are
in that situation.
1194
01:13:00,293 --> 01:13:03,206
In addition to teachers
being on food stamps,
1195
01:13:03,296 --> 01:13:05,379
things were about
to get even worse.
1196
01:13:06,382 --> 01:13:09,250
Not only was their health
insurance going to double...
1197
01:13:09,343 --> 01:13:11,630
They also started
this thing called Go365.
1198
01:13:11,762 --> 01:13:14,755
- It's a kind of wellness program.
- Go what?
1199
01:13:15,016 --> 01:13:17,633
Introducing Go365.
1200
01:13:17,727 --> 01:13:19,639
To even
get health insurance,
1201
01:13:19,729 --> 01:13:24,599
teachers were being forced
to buy and wear a Fitbit device.
1202
01:13:24,734 --> 01:13:29,820
The Fitbit would track all their
physical activity all the time.
1203
01:13:29,906 --> 01:13:33,741
And if you don't register enough
steps into the online database...
1204
01:13:33,826 --> 01:13:36,660
Then you pay a $500 penalty
at the end of the year.
1205
01:13:37,079 --> 01:13:38,820
You know how weird
this sounds?
1206
01:13:38,915 --> 01:13:42,625
Like, how darkly
strange and wrong?
1207
01:13:42,752 --> 01:13:44,118
- Yes.
- Yes.
1208
01:13:44,503 --> 01:13:47,962
And who's behind this
tracking-the-teachers idea?
1209
01:13:48,758 --> 01:13:50,715
A man named Justice.
1210
01:13:52,261 --> 01:13:54,298
Governor Jim Justice.
1211
01:13:55,848 --> 01:13:58,465
Nobody loves education
more than me.
1212
01:13:59,560 --> 01:14:01,722
Nobody loves our teachers
more than me.
1213
01:14:02,229 --> 01:14:05,313
Tonight in Pineville,
a meeting was held to discuss changes
1214
01:14:05,399 --> 01:14:07,766
to the public employees'
insurance agency.
1215
01:14:07,902 --> 01:14:11,521
If the Fitbits could measure
pissed off West Virginian teachers,
1216
01:14:11,989 --> 01:14:14,447
they'd be lighting up
right about now.
1217
01:14:16,327 --> 01:14:19,570
But the leaders of the teachers'
unions weren't much help.
1218
01:14:20,206 --> 01:14:22,698
They discouraged
a statewide strike.
1219
01:14:24,835 --> 01:14:27,248
Our union reps,
they've told us about all the risks.
1220
01:14:27,338 --> 01:14:29,796
We could lose our job,
we could lose our seniority.
1221
01:14:29,882 --> 01:14:32,215
We could lose a day's pay,
we could lose all these things.
1222
01:14:32,343 --> 01:14:33,959
I just say, "Guys, listen,
1223
01:14:34,053 --> 01:14:36,511
"the eyes of West Virginia
are on us right now.
1224
01:14:36,597 --> 01:14:40,136
"If we can just have
the courage to step out,
1225
01:14:40,226 --> 01:14:41,933
"other counties
will follow."
1226
01:14:44,981 --> 01:14:48,224
This was the chilly scene outside
Point Harmony Elementary
1227
01:14:48,317 --> 01:14:49,478
Friday morning.
1228
01:14:49,568 --> 01:14:51,981
Upwards of 50 teachers
lining the sidewalk.
1229
01:14:52,071 --> 01:14:53,187
All on a mission.
1230
01:14:53,280 --> 01:14:55,363
The teachers decided
on their own,
1231
01:14:55,491 --> 01:14:58,404
to go out on strike
and do it by themselves,
1232
01:14:58,494 --> 01:15:00,360
one school district at a time.
1233
01:15:01,372 --> 01:15:04,991
All of Mingo County is on
the courthouse steps...
1234
01:15:05,084 --> 01:15:07,952
People are chanting,
we're Facebook Live-streaming that,
1235
01:15:08,045 --> 01:15:10,332
and other counties are commenting
on there and saying,
1236
01:15:10,423 --> 01:15:11,539
"I wish I was there."
1237
01:15:12,758 --> 01:15:14,841
It escalated
really quickly.
1238
01:15:14,927 --> 01:15:18,716
So, four go out,
then seven go out, and then...
1239
01:15:18,806 --> 01:15:21,674
...55 of 55 counties,
1240
01:15:21,767 --> 01:15:24,726
the strike will go on
in all of them tomorrow.
1241
01:15:26,605 --> 01:15:30,019
It is unlawful
to have a work stoppage.
1242
01:15:30,401 --> 01:15:33,360
The teachers were
warned the strike is illegal.
1243
01:15:33,446 --> 01:15:36,439
They face anything from
being fined, being fired,
1244
01:15:36,532 --> 01:15:37,943
to going to jail.
1245
01:15:39,660 --> 01:15:43,654
But for them, it was worth
risking jail to get what they wanted.
1246
01:15:43,748 --> 01:15:48,334
A 5% raise and health insurance,
without Fitbits.
1247
01:15:49,628 --> 01:15:51,335
The teachers
weren't alone
1248
01:15:51,422 --> 01:15:54,415
because the bus drivers
and other school staff
1249
01:15:54,508 --> 01:15:55,965
were part of the same strike.
1250
01:15:56,552 --> 01:15:58,384
Except there was one problem.
1251
01:15:58,471 --> 01:16:01,179
Over half the schoolchildren
in West Virginia
1252
01:16:01,265 --> 01:16:05,179
got their breakfast
and their lunch at school.
1253
01:16:06,103 --> 01:16:10,063
So the teachers decided to prepare food
for the students during the strike.
1254
01:16:11,067 --> 01:16:12,711
The group
not only packed the bags,
1255
01:16:12,735 --> 01:16:15,193
but also hand-delivered them
to each student's home.
1256
01:16:15,738 --> 01:16:17,274
Oh, my stars!
1257
01:16:20,326 --> 01:16:21,783
Make no mistake about it,
1258
01:16:21,869 --> 01:16:25,453
they want the voice of the working
class citizens to be gone!
1259
01:16:25,915 --> 01:16:30,785
If you are not a member of a labor
union, you better become one.
1260
01:16:30,920 --> 01:16:34,834
Do you notice, many days, they had red
bandanas wrapped around their necks?
1261
01:16:34,965 --> 01:16:36,651
- Mmm-hmm.
- And they're proud of that.
1262
01:16:36,675 --> 01:16:40,840
The bandanas have a special meaning
going back to the 1920s,
1263
01:16:40,930 --> 01:16:44,469
when tens of thousands
of coal miners went on strike
1264
01:16:45,059 --> 01:16:47,551
wearing red bandanas
around their necks
1265
01:16:47,645 --> 01:16:49,978
to identify themselves
as pro-union.
1266
01:16:50,356 --> 01:16:54,066
And thus, popularizing
the term, "redneck."
1267
01:16:54,193 --> 01:16:56,856
And you might think
it might be a derogatory term,
1268
01:16:56,946 --> 01:16:59,814
but where we're from,
that is a term of pride.
1269
01:16:59,907 --> 01:17:02,320
That says we will
not back down.
1270
01:17:02,451 --> 01:17:08,197
The labor unions across this country
need to take up the red bandana
1271
01:17:08,707 --> 01:17:11,745
and needs to put them around their
necks and say, "We are tired
1272
01:17:12,169 --> 01:17:17,710
"of being overlooked, mistreated,
underpaid, overworked,
1273
01:17:17,800 --> 01:17:20,042
"understaffed,
we're tired of it."
1274
01:17:20,136 --> 01:17:22,799
Public schools in West Virginia
will remain closed today,
1275
01:17:22,888 --> 01:17:26,928
the third day of a statewide strike by
teachers and other school employees...
1276
01:17:27,059 --> 01:17:28,925
...will be closed tomorrow
for a fourth day.
1277
01:17:29,061 --> 01:17:31,018
...already lasted five days.
1278
01:17:31,480 --> 01:17:35,099
Like true rednecks,
the teachers stood firm.
1279
01:17:35,609 --> 01:17:37,601
Those people
in that capitol right now,
1280
01:17:37,695 --> 01:17:39,903
wouldn't be here if it wasn't
for them teachers.
1281
01:17:39,989 --> 01:17:43,983
But the union leaders
reached a compromise with the state.
1282
01:17:44,076 --> 01:17:46,443
We believe the best course
of action at this time
1283
01:17:46,537 --> 01:17:48,153
is to return
to school tomorrow.
1284
01:17:48,247 --> 01:17:51,035
The union leadership
had sold out.
1285
01:17:51,125 --> 01:17:53,993
They got the teachers
less than what they wanted
1286
01:17:54,086 --> 01:17:58,251
and left the bus drivers and the
lunch ladies out in the rain.
1287
01:18:00,968 --> 01:18:02,459
The teachers
rejected this
1288
01:18:02,553 --> 01:18:06,547
and insisted that the bus drivers
got the same raise that they wanted.
1289
01:18:07,141 --> 01:18:09,975
They continued
to stay out on strike.
1290
01:18:16,734 --> 01:18:19,977
55 united, 55 united!
1291
01:18:29,538 --> 01:18:32,121
They held firm,
day after day.
1292
01:18:34,084 --> 01:18:36,701
And after nine days
of striking,
1293
01:18:36,921 --> 01:18:38,601
We're not gonna take it, no!
1294
01:18:38,672 --> 01:18:41,540
No, we ain't gonna take it...
1295
01:18:42,301 --> 01:18:44,213
...and singing Twisted Sister,
1296
01:18:44,595 --> 01:18:48,054
the teachers finally won the
raise they were fighting for.
1297
01:18:48,390 --> 01:18:50,097
Notjust for themselves,
1298
01:18:50,309 --> 01:18:53,802
but the same raise for the bus drivers,
the lunch ladies,
1299
01:18:53,938 --> 01:18:55,270
and everyone else.
1300
01:18:56,190 --> 01:18:57,897
Oh, and the Fitbits?
1301
01:18:58,609 --> 01:19:00,601
They were finito.
1302
01:19:02,488 --> 01:19:06,277
The moment we won, we celebrated for,
like, five minutes,
1303
01:19:06,367 --> 01:19:08,654
and then we put the rest
of the nation on notice.
1304
01:19:12,039 --> 01:19:14,452
And it's starting
to spread all over Kentucky.
1305
01:19:14,541 --> 01:19:16,498
Arizona, North Carolina.
1306
01:19:16,585 --> 01:19:18,451
Oklahoma is pissed off.
1307
01:19:18,545 --> 01:19:22,380
Now on Monday, teachers right here in
Colorado will join in the walkouts...
1308
01:19:34,478 --> 01:19:37,095
When working class
people come together and say,
1309
01:19:37,189 --> 01:19:39,229
"We're not leaving until
you give us what we want,"
1310
01:19:39,275 --> 01:19:42,939
there's no money or anything
more powerful than that.
1311
01:19:43,529 --> 01:19:46,192
And that's why politicians since
the beginning in this country,
1312
01:19:46,323 --> 01:19:50,533
they have tried to divide
people by race or gender.
1313
01:19:50,703 --> 01:19:53,286
And so the Republicans do it,
1314
01:19:53,372 --> 01:19:54,724
but you know what,
the Democrats do it, too.
1315
01:19:54,748 --> 01:19:56,601
The Democrats say that the concerns
of the people here
1316
01:19:56,625 --> 01:19:59,493
don't have anything to do with the
concerns of people in Flint, Michigan,
1317
01:19:59,586 --> 01:20:00,827
and that's bullshit.
1318
01:20:05,467 --> 01:20:07,504
All right,
so here's the plan.
1319
01:20:07,636 --> 01:20:09,969
I'm gonna go take an Uber.
1320
01:20:11,390 --> 01:20:13,052
Afternoon, before 2:40,
1321
01:20:13,142 --> 01:20:15,259
from there, I'll go
into the school campus,
1322
01:20:16,770 --> 01:20:18,352
load my bags.
1323
01:20:19,982 --> 01:20:23,350
And get my AR-15 and a couple
of tracer rounds,
1324
01:20:25,070 --> 01:20:27,437
wait, and people will die.
1325
01:20:28,949 --> 01:20:33,284
Location is Stoneman Douglas
in Parkland, Florida.
1326
01:20:38,250 --> 01:20:42,415
Holy shit! Oh, my God!
1327
01:20:49,553 --> 01:20:50,919
Oh, my God!
1328
01:21:06,111 --> 01:21:08,392
Teachers, make sure you stay
with your students, okay?
1329
01:21:11,283 --> 01:21:15,243
And, like clockwork,
came the thoughts and prayers.
1330
01:21:15,371 --> 01:21:16,723
Thoughts and prayers...
1331
01:21:16,747 --> 01:21:18,909
And our thoughts and prayers...
1332
01:21:18,999 --> 01:21:20,602
Quote,
"Our thoughts and prayers..."
1333
01:21:20,626 --> 01:21:22,187
- Thoughts and prayers.
- Our thoughts and prayers...
1334
01:21:22,211 --> 01:21:25,545
Our continued thoughts
and prayers go out to all.
1335
01:21:25,631 --> 01:21:29,420
And they always tell us not
to make these shootings political.
1336
01:21:30,135 --> 01:21:33,754
A group of teenagers said,
"Well, that's the end of that."
1337
01:21:34,598 --> 01:21:38,683
They decided to make it political,
because it was political.
1338
01:21:39,144 --> 01:21:41,431
In response to President Trump,
I would say this.
1339
01:21:41,522 --> 01:21:44,060
You want to look back on our
history and blame the Democrats?
1340
01:21:44,149 --> 01:21:45,390
That's disgusting.
1341
01:21:45,526 --> 01:21:48,769
You're the president, you're supposed to
bring this nation together, not divide us.
1342
01:21:48,904 --> 01:21:49,940
How dare you?
1343
01:21:50,030 --> 01:21:52,675
Children are dying, and their blood
is on your hands because of that.
1344
01:21:52,699 --> 01:21:54,031
I'm gonna happily ask him
1345
01:21:54,118 --> 01:21:57,111
how much money he received from
the National Rifle Association.
1346
01:22:02,835 --> 01:22:05,873
It doesn't matter,
because I already know.
1347
01:22:06,755 --> 01:22:08,621
$30 million!
1348
01:22:10,801 --> 01:22:14,590
And divided by the number of gunshot
victims in the United States,
1349
01:22:14,721 --> 01:22:18,180
in the one and one and a
half months in 2018 alone,
1350
01:22:18,267 --> 01:22:21,681
that comes out
to being $5,800.
1351
01:22:21,770 --> 01:22:24,478
Is that how much these people
are worth to you, Trump?
1352
01:22:26,817 --> 01:22:30,060
They say that tougher gun laws
do not decrease gun violence.
1353
01:22:32,614 --> 01:22:36,153
They say a good guy with a gun
stops a bad guy with a gun.
1354
01:22:38,454 --> 01:22:41,117
They say that us kids don't
know what we're talking about,
1355
01:22:41,206 --> 01:22:45,120
that we're too young to understand
how the government works.
1356
01:22:45,461 --> 01:22:47,544
We call BS!
1357
01:22:48,172 --> 01:22:52,712
To all of the generations before us,
we sincerely accept your apology.
1358
01:22:52,801 --> 01:22:56,636
And we appreciate that
you are willing to let us
1359
01:22:56,722 --> 01:22:58,509
rebuild the world
that you fucked up.
1360
01:23:00,559 --> 01:23:02,221
These fearless kids
are on fire,
1361
01:23:02,311 --> 01:23:04,473
and the fire was spreading.
1362
01:23:05,314 --> 01:23:09,433
One month after the shooting, there
was a National Student Walkout day.
1363
01:23:09,943 --> 01:23:14,483
But this middle school principal
didn't want to let the kids off campus.
1364
01:23:14,573 --> 01:23:15,905
Basically,
we all just ran out.
1365
01:23:15,991 --> 01:23:17,051
I'm not sure
they're letting us back.
1366
01:23:17,075 --> 01:23:18,075
Wasn't really organized.
1367
01:23:18,160 --> 01:23:20,948
They can't expel everyone here,
because that's insane.
1368
01:23:21,038 --> 01:23:23,576
Westleys,
you may go back to second period.
1369
01:23:23,665 --> 01:23:26,248
We were able to go,
because so many people...
1370
01:23:26,335 --> 01:23:29,703
One person can't stop
at least over 500 kids.
1371
01:23:29,796 --> 01:23:33,881
Westleys Middle School,
you may go back to second period.
1372
01:23:33,967 --> 01:23:38,632
The tweens had tasted power,
and they now knew that the adults are,
1373
01:23:38,764 --> 01:23:41,757
well, kind ofjust a bunch
of ineffective dweebs.
1374
01:23:41,850 --> 01:23:43,557
We want change!
1375
01:23:43,644 --> 01:23:45,306
We want change!
1376
01:23:45,395 --> 01:23:47,887
This was a bona fide
political movement.
1377
01:23:48,273 --> 01:23:50,765
And I was there
to see it for myself.
1378
01:23:52,236 --> 01:23:55,604
The Parkland students invited me in
to their secret headquarters.
1379
01:24:03,997 --> 01:24:05,350
I think it's just insane
1380
01:24:05,374 --> 01:24:07,185
to think that within a month
of this happening,
1381
01:24:07,209 --> 01:24:08,575
the pace that we've gone at,
1382
01:24:08,669 --> 01:24:10,126
we have an international NGO
1383
01:24:10,212 --> 01:24:13,046
that we're running out of an
office space in the same city now.
1384
01:24:13,173 --> 01:24:14,380
Running two students...
1385
01:24:14,466 --> 01:24:19,052
Being run by 23 walking hormones,
with probably a lot of ADD in between.
1386
01:24:19,137 --> 01:24:22,255
I don't know if it was
the hormones or the ADD,
1387
01:24:22,641 --> 01:24:26,430
but the international march
they were organizing was taking off.
1388
01:24:26,520 --> 01:24:30,935
It's up to... It's at 820. Yesterday,
it was at, like, 760-something.
1389
01:24:31,233 --> 01:24:35,568
That's, like,
several more marches in a day.
1390
01:24:38,865 --> 01:24:40,731
My generation,
the generation after me,
1391
01:24:40,826 --> 01:24:43,489
maybe we did one thing right.
We raised you.
1392
01:24:43,620 --> 01:24:46,863
- On the contrary, social media raised us.
- Yes.
1393
01:24:46,957 --> 01:24:49,119
- My phone.
- Like, do you see it...
1394
01:24:49,209 --> 01:24:51,201
And communicating
with other young people
1395
01:24:51,295 --> 01:24:53,335
- about what the real truth is.
- Yeah, exactly.
1396
01:24:53,672 --> 01:24:56,085
One of the fake news networks,
CNN last night,
1397
01:24:56,174 --> 01:24:58,444
was saying I want teachers to have guns.
I don't want teachers to have guns.
1398
01:24:58,468 --> 01:25:04,840
I want certain highly adept people,
people that understand weaponry, guns...
1399
01:25:05,892 --> 01:25:10,227
If 20% of the teachers have guns,
maybe 10%, or maybe 40%...
1400
01:25:10,314 --> 01:25:13,148
We need to let people know,
you come into our schools,
1401
01:25:13,817 --> 01:25:14,978
you're gonna be dead.
1402
01:25:15,444 --> 01:25:16,685
And it's gonna be fast.
1403
01:25:16,778 --> 01:25:18,986
This is about us
demanding change,
1404
01:25:19,072 --> 01:25:21,189
and this is about the fact
that we have already won.
1405
01:25:21,283 --> 01:25:23,115
It's just a matter of when.
1406
01:25:23,577 --> 01:25:25,614
Thrust into
instant activism,
1407
01:25:26,121 --> 01:25:29,660
the students went to the place
where change is supposed to happen.
1408
01:25:30,167 --> 01:25:31,578
The state capitol building
1409
01:25:31,668 --> 01:25:33,409
in Tallahassee.
1410
01:25:33,503 --> 01:25:37,247
One of the few places in Florida
where you're safe from guns.
1411
01:25:38,508 --> 01:25:41,046
He didn't even reach
18 years old yet.
1412
01:25:41,637 --> 01:25:44,300
He was a boy
who got shot in the head
1413
01:25:44,389 --> 01:25:47,006
because of your law saying
that an 18-year-old boy
1414
01:25:47,100 --> 01:25:50,810
can carry a military-grade
weapon to kill.
1415
01:25:50,896 --> 01:25:53,513
The students
were impeccably prepared.
1416
01:25:53,607 --> 01:25:57,100
Some of the legislators,
not so much.
1417
01:25:57,194 --> 01:25:59,106
You can shoot as many bullets
1418
01:25:59,196 --> 01:26:01,438
with a handgun
as you can with these rifles.
1419
01:26:01,531 --> 01:26:05,070
But civilians with such
high-capacity magazines?
1420
01:26:05,160 --> 01:26:06,617
You support that?
1421
01:26:09,748 --> 01:26:10,784
Bullets.
1422
01:26:10,874 --> 01:26:14,743
Yeah, I've heard
different positions on that.
1423
01:26:14,836 --> 01:26:16,748
All we want is an answer
1424
01:26:16,838 --> 01:26:20,878
as to how are we going to fix this and
continue our life, not living in fear.
1425
01:26:20,967 --> 01:26:23,584
Yes, it's, uh, going
to take a lot.
1426
01:26:23,679 --> 01:26:24,715
It's going to take a lot.
1427
01:26:24,805 --> 01:26:26,717
It's going to be
multi-faceted,
1428
01:26:26,807 --> 01:26:30,551
bullet points coming in
from all kinds of different angles.
1429
01:26:30,644 --> 01:26:32,852
Government is set up
to move slow.
1430
01:26:32,938 --> 01:26:36,682
Okay? There's committees,
there's dual houses.
1431
01:26:36,942 --> 01:26:38,062
It's not like cutting grass.
1432
01:26:38,151 --> 01:26:40,939
It's cutting grass,
you can immediately turn around and see
1433
01:26:41,029 --> 01:26:43,863
this is the product
of what I've done, but, um...
1434
01:26:48,829 --> 01:26:51,788
It's a head-scratcher,
where we are.
1435
01:26:51,873 --> 01:26:54,206
So, uh, it's gonna be, uh...
1436
01:26:54,543 --> 01:26:55,579
It's gonna be a debate.
1437
01:26:55,669 --> 01:26:59,458
I've always defended people's right
to defend themselves.
1438
01:27:01,675 --> 01:27:02,916
Um, I haven't got specifics.
1439
01:27:03,009 --> 01:27:05,342
So you're asking me specific shit,
Jake, and I don't know.
1440
01:27:05,429 --> 01:27:09,298
They quickly learned
that asking for help from a politician
1441
01:27:09,391 --> 01:27:14,386
who gets an A+ rating
from the NRA gets you nowhere.
1442
01:27:14,521 --> 01:27:15,728
Turn the camera off for me.
1443
01:27:16,022 --> 01:27:18,730
You need
to challenge them directly.
1444
01:27:18,817 --> 01:27:21,400
Senator Rubio,
can you tell me right now
1445
01:27:21,486 --> 01:27:24,650
that you will not accept a single
donation from the NRA in the future?
1446
01:27:37,335 --> 01:27:38,980
That is
the wrong way to look...
1447
01:27:39,004 --> 01:27:41,667
First of all, the answer is,
people buy into my agenda.
1448
01:27:41,798 --> 01:27:43,755
- Number second, well...
- You can say no.
1449
01:27:47,179 --> 01:27:49,387
Or another option
is to vote them out.
1450
01:27:49,806 --> 01:27:52,093
Even if you're
too young to vote.
1451
01:27:52,184 --> 01:27:53,720
I get tweets from people,
1452
01:27:53,810 --> 01:27:56,473
they're like, "Hey, I'm a mom
from Tennessee.
1453
01:27:56,563 --> 01:27:59,351
"I've never voted before,
but I'm gonna vote now."
1454
01:27:59,483 --> 01:28:02,271
- So people who are non-voters...
- Yes.
1455
01:28:02,360 --> 01:28:04,443
- ...are telling you...
- I'm going to vote.
1456
01:28:04,529 --> 01:28:08,694
At all these marches, we're having
booths to register yourself to vote.
1457
01:28:08,784 --> 01:28:10,741
'Cause we know that
we're gonna be the generation
1458
01:28:10,827 --> 01:28:12,409
that are going to vote
those people out.
1459
01:28:13,663 --> 01:28:15,529
Case in point,
this guy.
1460
01:28:16,124 --> 01:28:20,118
Maine Republican Leslie Gibson running
unopposed for state representative
1461
01:28:20,212 --> 01:28:22,329
tweeted about
a Parkland shooting survivor,
1462
01:28:22,422 --> 01:28:24,288
calling her
a "skinhead lesbian."
1463
01:28:24,841 --> 01:28:28,551
They're already down, and he knocked
them down even more by saying that.
1464
01:28:28,637 --> 01:28:29,923
That wasn't very nice of him.
1465
01:28:30,514 --> 01:28:32,050
After Gibson's
hate speech,
1466
01:28:32,557 --> 01:28:36,050
David Hogg had immediately
put out a call to action on Twitter.
1467
01:28:36,144 --> 01:28:38,101
And sure enough...
1468
01:28:38,188 --> 01:28:41,352
In District 57,
there's a candidate who was unopposed.
1469
01:28:41,441 --> 01:28:42,773
He now has competition.
1470
01:28:43,485 --> 01:28:46,102
...28-year-old
Eryn Gilchrist of Greene,
1471
01:28:46,196 --> 01:28:48,404
submitting the necessary
amount of signatures
1472
01:28:48,490 --> 01:28:51,278
required by the Secretary
of State's office to run.
1473
01:28:51,743 --> 01:28:53,530
And then,
this happened.
1474
01:28:53,620 --> 01:28:56,033
Guys, guys,
breaking news.
1475
01:28:56,122 --> 01:28:58,990
The guy who called Emma
a skinhead lesbian
1476
01:28:59,084 --> 01:29:01,701
who was running unopposed
as of, like, a day ago,
1477
01:29:02,128 --> 01:29:03,460
and he dropped out!
1478
01:29:06,383 --> 01:29:07,999
- We did it!
- Oh, my God.
1479
01:29:13,098 --> 01:29:14,214
Of all people.
1480
01:29:14,307 --> 01:29:16,799
She had just met
the deadline at 5:00
1481
01:29:16,935 --> 01:29:20,053
in Maine yesterday to run
against this asshole.
1482
01:29:20,146 --> 01:29:24,891
I just can't believe that it was a day.
It was literally a day.
1483
01:29:24,985 --> 01:29:26,396
Literally,
it's like...
1484
01:29:26,903 --> 01:29:31,739
Both Emma and I failed,
uh, two psych tests today.
1485
01:29:31,825 --> 01:29:33,157
Oh, no.
1486
01:29:33,451 --> 01:29:35,534
But it's fine.
We're changing the world.
1487
01:29:35,620 --> 01:29:37,612
In hindsight,
I'm not gonna care about that.
1488
01:29:37,706 --> 01:29:40,574
What I'm gonna remember about this
day is getting that woman in Maine,
1489
01:29:40,709 --> 01:29:43,827
- like, pretty much in office.
- Yeah, not your psych test.
1490
01:29:43,920 --> 01:29:46,458
Another memorable day
was this one.
1491
01:29:46,548 --> 01:29:48,039
Welcome to the revolution.
1492
01:29:51,928 --> 01:29:54,796
Teenagers organized
this all by themselves.
1493
01:29:58,602 --> 01:30:01,219
No adults were allowed
on stage to speak.
1494
01:30:02,439 --> 01:30:06,433
And with over 700 marches
underway in American cities,
1495
01:30:06,776 --> 01:30:08,813
and another 100 globally,
1496
01:30:09,571 --> 01:30:14,532
it was the largest single day of protest
in the history of our nation's capital.
1497
01:30:14,618 --> 01:30:18,988
Raleigh, North Carolina, Tampa,
Florida, Central Los Angeles,
1498
01:30:19,080 --> 01:30:21,242
all echoing the same message.
1499
01:30:25,378 --> 01:30:30,840
And when a message is urgent enough,
sometimes, help arrives.
1500
01:30:31,801 --> 01:30:33,713
City of Flint, USA.
1501
01:30:35,430 --> 01:30:38,173
May 5th, 2016.
1502
01:30:38,266 --> 01:30:39,802
POTUS has arrived.
1503
01:30:41,436 --> 01:30:44,929
The people of Flint
had one last beacon of hope.
1504
01:30:45,023 --> 01:30:46,935
We were all invited
to this big thing
1505
01:30:47,025 --> 01:30:50,939
where the President Obama was going
to speak to us about the problem.
1506
01:30:51,029 --> 01:30:54,397
Oh, my God,
this is so cool!
1507
01:30:55,492 --> 01:30:57,108
Oh, yes.
1508
01:30:58,745 --> 01:30:59,952
Oh, yes!
1509
01:31:01,831 --> 01:31:03,914
He's finally here.
We've been waiting.
1510
01:31:04,000 --> 01:31:06,287
Once he sees, he can make
a conscious decision
1511
01:31:06,378 --> 01:31:07,960
to push this with urgency.
1512
01:31:10,173 --> 01:31:12,756
While President Obama
was on his way to the event,
1513
01:31:13,718 --> 01:31:16,072
Governor Snyder thought
he'd take to the stage
1514
01:31:16,096 --> 01:31:18,088
and warm up the crowd.
1515
01:31:19,057 --> 01:31:20,389
Good afternoon.
1516
01:31:23,269 --> 01:31:24,635
Good afternoon.
1517
01:31:25,981 --> 01:31:27,267
Good afternoon.
1518
01:31:32,320 --> 01:31:33,652
Good afternoon.
1519
01:31:35,532 --> 01:31:40,573
I understand why
you're angry and frustrated.
1520
01:31:40,662 --> 01:31:42,198
Not like we do.
1521
01:31:42,706 --> 01:31:46,495
I want to come here
today to apologize.
1522
01:31:47,669 --> 01:31:49,205
- Too late!
- It's too late!
1523
01:31:49,921 --> 01:31:51,253
Too late.
1524
01:31:51,339 --> 01:31:53,296
Too late, we're already sick.
1525
01:31:53,383 --> 01:31:57,172
We have a short term water crisis
that needs to be repaired.
1526
01:32:09,357 --> 01:32:11,269
Thank you for coming
for us, Obama.
1527
01:32:15,655 --> 01:32:18,113
Flint's recovery
is everybody's responsibility.
1528
01:32:22,078 --> 01:32:25,116
And I'm gonna make sure
that responsibility is met.
1529
01:32:25,582 --> 01:32:26,663
That's why I'm here.
1530
01:32:28,293 --> 01:32:29,579
To tell you directly
1531
01:32:32,005 --> 01:32:33,917
that I see you,
and I hear you.
1532
01:32:39,429 --> 01:32:40,590
We invest...
1533
01:32:41,765 --> 01:32:43,097
Uh...
1534
01:32:43,183 --> 01:32:44,799
Can I get some water?
1535
01:32:48,980 --> 01:32:50,141
Come on up here.
1536
01:32:51,191 --> 01:32:52,557
I want a glass of water.
1537
01:32:53,651 --> 01:32:54,937
Get a bottle.
1538
01:32:55,904 --> 01:32:57,236
Bottled water.
1539
01:32:58,198 --> 01:32:59,780
I want a glass of water.
1540
01:33:00,075 --> 01:33:02,658
Everybody settle down.
This is a feisty crowd.
1541
01:33:05,914 --> 01:33:07,075
Thank you.
1542
01:33:09,709 --> 01:33:12,326
I really did need a glass of water.
This is not a stunt.
1543
01:33:15,507 --> 01:33:17,840
What? He wet his lips.
1544
01:33:17,926 --> 01:33:20,464
He did not drink a sip.
He wet his lips.
1545
01:33:20,553 --> 01:33:23,637
There was an audible gasp
in the audience.
1546
01:33:23,723 --> 01:33:26,716
People were just, like,
absolutely dejected.
1547
01:33:28,103 --> 01:33:29,560
Why would you do that?
1548
01:33:31,856 --> 01:33:34,815
I am sure that somewhere,
when I was two years old,
1549
01:33:34,943 --> 01:33:38,857
I was taking a chip of paint,
1550
01:33:39,989 --> 01:33:42,697
tasted it,
and I got some lead.
1551
01:33:43,118 --> 01:33:45,030
Yeah, that's like
talking about, like, well,
1552
01:33:45,120 --> 01:33:47,453
"I didn't wear a seatbelt,
and I'm fine,"
1553
01:33:47,580 --> 01:33:49,820
and it's like, "But there were
tons of people that died."
1554
01:33:49,916 --> 01:33:53,830
Backstage,
the president, sitting at the table
1555
01:33:54,045 --> 01:33:55,581
with a criminal governor,
1556
01:33:56,381 --> 01:33:59,545
decided to perform his stunt
all over again.
1557
01:33:59,634 --> 01:34:03,548
You know, generally, I have not been
doing stunts here, but, you know.
1558
01:34:04,931 --> 01:34:07,048
That's not what I expected.
1559
01:34:07,725 --> 01:34:09,637
That's what Snyder did.
1560
01:34:09,936 --> 01:34:14,727
It felt like he minimized what
people are actually going through
1561
01:34:14,816 --> 01:34:16,523
and struggling with.
1562
01:34:16,609 --> 01:34:18,475
If you were actually
lead poisoned,
1563
01:34:18,987 --> 01:34:22,321
you would not be president.
You would be janitor Barack Obama.
1564
01:34:23,324 --> 01:34:26,442
We were holding onto hope that he
would declare it a disaster area.
1565
01:34:26,536 --> 01:34:29,119
A disaster would give us FEMA,
it would give us
1566
01:34:29,205 --> 01:34:31,948
pipe replacement,
get engineers in here...
1567
01:34:32,041 --> 01:34:34,579
Then we could get Medicare
for all the residents of Flint.
1568
01:34:35,295 --> 01:34:38,003
As soon as he took a drink of the water
and said everything's fine,
1569
01:34:38,089 --> 01:34:39,330
that was that.
1570
01:34:40,592 --> 01:34:44,256
And look at it,
years later, it's still poison.
1571
01:34:45,096 --> 01:34:47,053
When he came here,
he was my president,
1572
01:34:47,140 --> 01:34:49,553
but when he left,
he was not my president.
1573
01:34:52,270 --> 01:34:54,790
I would, again, go back to the
president's visit last week.
1574
01:34:54,814 --> 01:34:57,056
He reinforced the message
that filtered water
1575
01:34:57,150 --> 01:34:59,642
has been determined to be safe
for people to drink.
1576
01:35:01,321 --> 01:35:03,313
This, again,
was our hero,
1577
01:35:03,406 --> 01:35:05,739
and we thought he was gonna
come here and help us.
1578
01:35:07,202 --> 01:35:09,194
But they do have
a mural of him,
1579
01:35:09,287 --> 01:35:12,576
and you ride past it now
and his head is busted out.
1580
01:35:14,083 --> 01:35:15,449
It was devastating.
1581
01:35:15,835 --> 01:35:17,417
And it depressed the vote.
1582
01:35:17,545 --> 01:35:20,913
And I know people that stayed home and
just said, "To hell with all of them."
1583
01:35:21,799 --> 01:35:23,916
I don't know.
I just don't... I don't know.
1584
01:35:25,428 --> 01:35:28,762
I don't know why anybody
would have advised him to do that.
1585
01:35:28,848 --> 01:35:30,339
I don't know why
he would do it.
1586
01:35:30,475 --> 01:35:32,182
And to the average person,
1587
01:35:32,268 --> 01:35:34,225
then the Democrats
don't look like the people
1588
01:35:34,312 --> 01:35:35,581
who are gonna come
to the rescue.
1589
01:35:35,605 --> 01:35:36,605
Right.
1590
01:35:37,607 --> 01:35:41,647
So in Flint, the number is something
like 8,000 African-American voters,
1591
01:35:41,736 --> 01:35:45,855
who voted twice for Obama,
chose not to vote.
1592
01:35:45,949 --> 01:35:50,114
Hillary lost in Michigan by two
votes per precinct, on average.
1593
01:35:50,203 --> 01:35:52,695
Two votes per precinct.
1594
01:35:53,289 --> 01:35:56,373
Ten thousand
and some votes was it.
1595
01:35:56,834 --> 01:35:58,291
- So where are we left?
- Yeah.
1596
01:36:01,631 --> 01:36:06,877
The worst thing that President Obama did
was pave the way for Donald Trump.
1597
01:36:08,596 --> 01:36:11,054
Because Donald Trump
1598
01:36:11,140 --> 01:36:13,348
did notjust fall
from the sky.
1599
01:36:14,894 --> 01:36:18,683
The road to him was
decades in the making.
1600
01:36:20,358 --> 01:36:24,728
Under President Obama, it became
okay to imprison whistleblowers
1601
01:36:24,862 --> 01:36:27,696
more than all previous
presidents combined.
1602
01:36:28,241 --> 01:36:31,780
He used drone strikes
to bomb civilian populations.
1603
01:36:34,580 --> 01:36:39,075
And he deported a record
number of immigrants and refugees.
1604
01:36:41,129 --> 01:36:44,213
What Flint needed
was for President Obama
1605
01:36:44,299 --> 01:36:47,258
to dig up the toxic pipes
and have them replaced.
1606
01:36:47,343 --> 01:36:50,552
But instead of sending in
the Army Corps of Engineers,
1607
01:36:51,681 --> 01:36:53,889
he just sent in the army.
1608
01:36:59,355 --> 01:37:01,312
This is not normal
in Flint.
1609
01:37:02,567 --> 01:37:04,354
It's going down
like a motherfucker.
1610
01:37:06,070 --> 01:37:07,277
Wow, where is it?
1611
01:37:10,408 --> 01:37:11,444
What is that?
1612
01:37:11,576 --> 01:37:12,942
Why are they so low?
1613
01:37:13,411 --> 01:37:14,743
Holy shit!
1614
01:37:22,045 --> 01:37:26,164
June 25th, Flint, Michigan,
it was like, boom!
1615
01:37:27,133 --> 01:37:28,840
Didn't warn nobody
in the neighborhood.
1616
01:37:28,926 --> 01:37:31,794
Oh, my God,
this is so insane.
1617
01:37:32,305 --> 01:37:34,171
And it freaked me out.
1618
01:37:34,849 --> 01:37:41,062
Obama's Department of Defense decided
to use Flint as a training ground
1619
01:37:41,147 --> 01:37:44,982
to prepare army troops
so they could fight future wars
1620
01:37:45,068 --> 01:37:46,650
in urban communities.
1621
01:37:46,736 --> 01:37:48,536
What're you guys doing
this training for?
1622
01:37:49,113 --> 01:37:51,776
Uh, it's just, uh, to conduct
some realistic training.
1623
01:37:52,492 --> 01:37:54,700
No one in Flint
was warned in advance
1624
01:37:55,370 --> 01:37:57,828
that they would now be used
for target practice.
1625
01:37:57,997 --> 01:37:59,408
A few things broke
in our house.
1626
01:37:59,832 --> 01:38:01,632
Glass started to fall
off the table and stuff.
1627
01:38:02,335 --> 01:38:04,167
What are we
going to do?
1628
01:38:04,253 --> 01:38:06,210
Everybody better
fucking get ready.
1629
01:38:06,339 --> 01:38:08,126
What organization
are you a part of?
1630
01:38:08,216 --> 01:38:09,627
I'm part of
the United States Army.
1631
01:38:10,676 --> 01:38:11,883
US Army?
1632
01:38:11,969 --> 01:38:14,552
In what other part
of this city
1633
01:38:14,639 --> 01:38:17,473
would they have did this
without notifying the people?
1634
01:38:18,893 --> 01:38:20,996
Why are they doing this
in Flint? Like, why here?
1635
01:38:21,020 --> 01:38:24,513
Probably because of the availability
of the abandoned buildings.
1636
01:38:24,607 --> 01:38:27,395
12:11 a.m.
in the city of Flint.
1637
01:38:29,821 --> 01:38:30,902
You see that?
1638
01:38:30,988 --> 01:38:34,106
Coming to an American city
near you.
1639
01:38:34,534 --> 01:38:37,026
'Cause if it can happen in Flint,
it can happen anywhere.
1640
01:38:39,664 --> 01:38:41,405
You see this?
1641
01:38:43,626 --> 01:38:45,743
If you are from Flint,
1642
01:38:46,587 --> 01:38:50,672
you have a whole different
definition of terrorism.
1643
01:39:00,309 --> 01:39:03,427
He was the only candidate
of the 2016 election,
1644
01:39:03,855 --> 01:39:05,721
Democratic or Republican,
1645
01:39:06,524 --> 01:39:09,642
who decided to visit
the scene of the crime.
1646
01:39:11,779 --> 01:39:15,944
Perhaps he wanted to admire
the handiwork of fellow Republican,
1647
01:39:16,033 --> 01:39:17,865
Governor Rick Snyder.
1648
01:39:21,956 --> 01:39:23,913
Somebody once
asked Donald Trump,
1649
01:39:24,625 --> 01:39:28,585
"How do you handle being at the center
of all of this media attention?
1650
01:39:29,088 --> 01:39:30,795
"The whirlwind around you.
1651
01:39:31,799 --> 01:39:33,381
"How do you weather
the storm?"
1652
01:39:37,597 --> 01:39:41,762
And he looked up and he said,
"I am the storm.
1653
01:39:43,644 --> 01:39:46,102
"I am the storm."
1654
01:39:50,943 --> 01:39:52,434
And as you know,
1655
01:39:52,570 --> 01:39:55,404
there's only one person
who can navigate the storm,
1656
01:39:56,032 --> 01:39:58,740
and that's the person
who created the storm.
1657
01:40:00,369 --> 01:40:03,953
And the rest of us are just
looking for cover.
1658
01:40:15,718 --> 01:40:17,209
Thank you very much.
1659
01:40:17,345 --> 01:40:19,758
You folks are in here,
place is packed.
1660
01:40:19,847 --> 01:40:22,055
There are lines
that go back six blocks.
1661
01:40:23,017 --> 01:40:26,806
There is such love in this country
for everything we stand for,
1662
01:40:26,938 --> 01:40:29,351
you saw that on election day.
1663
01:40:29,815 --> 01:40:31,647
And you're gonna see it
more and more.
1664
01:40:32,485 --> 01:40:34,943
So we're all part of this
very historic movement,
1665
01:40:35,029 --> 01:40:40,525
a movement the likes of which, actually,
the world has never seen before.
1666
01:40:41,702 --> 01:40:45,412
Often, the move is to say,
"You're making a comparison to Hitler.
1667
01:40:45,498 --> 01:40:47,660
"It's not a perfect comparison,
and therefore,
1668
01:40:47,750 --> 01:40:49,332
"let's throw
all of history out."
1669
01:40:49,418 --> 01:40:50,704
Whereas what I would say is,
1670
01:40:50,795 --> 01:40:53,412
of course, the comparison's not perfect.
No comparison's perfect,
1671
01:40:53,506 --> 01:40:54,838
history doesn't repeat,
1672
01:40:54,924 --> 01:40:58,042
but history is this
huge resource of patterns.
1673
01:40:58,135 --> 01:41:00,092
It's this huge resource
of structures.
1674
01:41:00,221 --> 01:41:03,214
It's a way to try to get your bearings
in a moment like the present one,
1675
01:41:03,307 --> 01:41:05,027
where we're not really sure
what's going on.
1676
01:41:07,019 --> 01:41:10,638
They were one of the greatest
liberal democracies in the world.
1677
01:41:11,399 --> 01:41:14,563
They were the first country
to have universal healthcare
1678
01:41:14,652 --> 01:41:16,188
for all citizens.
1679
01:41:16,862 --> 01:41:18,899
They not only invented
the printing press,
1680
01:41:19,574 --> 01:41:22,817
they read more books
than any other country.
1681
01:41:22,910 --> 01:41:25,653
And it was not unusual
for each of their cities
1682
01:41:25,746 --> 01:41:27,829
to have a dozen
daily newspapers.
1683
01:41:28,040 --> 01:41:29,872
A robust free press.
1684
01:41:31,460 --> 01:41:33,622
And they made the best movies.
1685
01:41:40,553 --> 01:41:44,797
The art, the culture,
the science.
1686
01:41:45,266 --> 01:41:48,725
They were considered the most
intelligent people on Earth.
1687
01:41:49,520 --> 01:41:51,762
In November of 1932,
1688
01:41:52,189 --> 01:41:57,901
they elected an immigrant,
an Austrian, to be their leader.
1689
01:41:58,821 --> 01:42:01,063
He had
no political experience.
1690
01:42:01,699 --> 01:42:03,782
He didn't talk
like a regular politician.
1691
01:42:04,327 --> 01:42:06,068
He just told it like it is.
1692
01:42:06,621 --> 01:42:07,987
It was so refreshing.
1693
01:42:09,540 --> 01:42:10,872
Women loved him.
1694
01:42:11,292 --> 01:42:13,579
Children were always
excited to see him.
1695
01:42:14,128 --> 01:42:17,087
Oh, and he loved animals.
1696
01:42:17,173 --> 01:42:18,442
Look what Hitler dines on.
1697
01:42:18,466 --> 01:42:20,628
Not even soup
for the ascetic vegetarian.
1698
01:42:20,718 --> 01:42:23,552
Just a couple of crackers
for a victory banquet.
1699
01:42:23,638 --> 01:42:26,597
He told jokes,
he told stories.
1700
01:42:27,183 --> 01:42:29,015
He was a great dancer.
1701
01:42:30,519 --> 01:42:32,727
He talked about
putting Germany first.
1702
01:42:33,356 --> 01:42:36,770
And when German football players
disrespected the national anthem,
1703
01:42:37,193 --> 01:42:38,559
they were punished.
1704
01:42:41,280 --> 01:42:44,239
He talked about creating jobs
for everyone.
1705
01:42:45,076 --> 01:42:49,036
He built roads and
infrastructure and camps.
1706
01:42:49,455 --> 01:42:51,617
He knew how to use
the new media.
1707
01:42:52,249 --> 01:42:54,957
Radio, newsreels.
1708
01:42:55,044 --> 01:42:59,334
And in 1935, he started
his own TV network,
1709
01:42:59,423 --> 01:43:02,541
four years before Americans
were introduced to television.
1710
01:43:02,677 --> 01:43:03,758
Heil, Hitler!
1711
01:43:04,220 --> 01:43:07,213
He even knew
how to use fake news.
1712
01:43:14,939 --> 01:43:17,773
Oh, how the crowds
flocked to see him.
1713
01:43:18,067 --> 01:43:19,683
But his Nazi Party
1714
01:43:19,777 --> 01:43:23,236
only won 32% of the seats
in parliament,
1715
01:43:23,322 --> 01:43:25,530
which the Germans
called the Reichstag.
1716
01:43:27,660 --> 01:43:31,074
The popular vote was won by
Germany's left liberal parties.
1717
01:43:32,123 --> 01:43:33,489
Hitler wanted more.
1718
01:43:34,583 --> 01:43:36,870
A few weeks
after his inauguration,
1719
01:43:36,961 --> 01:43:39,374
there was
a terrorist incident.
1720
01:43:39,839 --> 01:43:43,958
Somebody set the German
parliament building, the Reichstag,
1721
01:43:44,051 --> 01:43:45,417
on fire.
1722
01:43:45,511 --> 01:43:50,723
Many believed it was the Nazis who did it,
in order to create a national emergency.
1723
01:43:51,642 --> 01:43:53,429
But Hitler blamed
the communists.
1724
01:43:53,769 --> 01:43:58,889
The communist party was banned, and
their seats in parliament taken away.
1725
01:44:00,568 --> 01:44:02,525
The liberals were vanquished,
1726
01:44:02,611 --> 01:44:05,945
and the public
supported Adolf Hitler
1727
01:44:06,031 --> 01:44:08,114
taking complete control.
1728
01:44:13,622 --> 01:44:17,992
This Jewish weekly in Germany published
a front page editorial
1729
01:44:18,085 --> 01:44:20,919
saying that everyone
should calm down.
1730
01:44:43,444 --> 01:44:47,358
Back in the US,
The New York Times agreed.
1731
01:44:48,282 --> 01:44:50,524
They reassured
the American people
1732
01:44:50,618 --> 01:44:52,985
that things
would not be that bad.
1733
01:44:55,372 --> 01:44:57,113
They even wrote
flattering articles
1734
01:44:57,208 --> 01:45:00,576
and said that Hitler's
anti-Semitism was not so genuine
1735
01:45:00,711 --> 01:45:02,748
or violent as it sounded,
1736
01:45:02,838 --> 01:45:06,582
and he was merely using
anti-Semitism as a bait
1737
01:45:06,675 --> 01:45:09,133
to catch followers.
1738
01:45:10,846 --> 01:45:14,886
When you track how people first
reacted to Hitler and Mussolini,
1739
01:45:14,975 --> 01:45:17,092
they said,
"Oh, he's just insane,"
1740
01:45:17,186 --> 01:45:20,179
or the classic thing is that
the elite party, in this case
1741
01:45:20,272 --> 01:45:23,606
the GOP, "We're gonna
invite him in to power,
1742
01:45:23,692 --> 01:45:25,228
"and then we're
gonna control him."
1743
01:45:25,319 --> 01:45:27,231
How am I doing? Am I doing okay?
I'm president.
1744
01:45:27,363 --> 01:45:30,401
Hey, I'm president!
Can you believe it, right?
1745
01:45:30,825 --> 01:45:32,441
Over and over in history,
1746
01:45:32,535 --> 01:45:34,743
what has happened is that
these people get invited in,
1747
01:45:34,829 --> 01:45:36,161
they get legitimized,
1748
01:45:36,247 --> 01:45:38,660
and then
they take over the show.
1749
01:45:38,749 --> 01:45:39,990
There's no
Republican Party.
1750
01:45:41,126 --> 01:45:42,492
There's a Trump party.
1751
01:45:44,046 --> 01:45:48,791
At 12:05 p.m.,
on January 20th, 2017,
1752
01:45:48,884 --> 01:45:51,627
just minutes after being
sworn in as president...
1753
01:45:51,720 --> 01:45:53,006
So help me, God.
1754
01:45:55,558 --> 01:46:00,974
Trump filed the paperwork
for the Trump 2020 re-election campaign.
1755
01:46:02,565 --> 01:46:05,808
Within days,
he went right back to holding rallies...
1756
01:46:06,277 --> 01:46:10,612
Keep America great,
exclamation point.
1757
01:46:10,698 --> 01:46:14,112
And campaigning for
an eight-year presidency.
1758
01:46:14,201 --> 01:46:17,490
Unless they give me
an extension for the presidency.
1759
01:46:19,290 --> 01:46:20,872
These are what I call
trial balloons.
1760
01:46:21,292 --> 01:46:24,785
You threw out an idea
that previously was unthinkable.
1761
01:46:24,920 --> 01:46:30,712
Four years, eight years, or as you know,
FDR, in one case, 16 years.
1762
01:46:30,843 --> 01:46:33,085
Should we go back to 16 years?
Should we do that?
1763
01:46:33,178 --> 01:46:35,386
Congressmen,
can we have that extended?
1764
01:46:35,472 --> 01:46:39,557
Unthinkable in democracy,
or unthinkable for human rights reasons.
1765
01:46:54,575 --> 01:46:58,285
They float these ideas,
they get them out there,
1766
01:46:58,370 --> 01:47:01,283
and then the press
does its job for him.
1767
01:47:01,373 --> 01:47:03,865
President Trump offering
his congratulations
1768
01:47:03,959 --> 01:47:05,416
to Turkey's President Erdogan
1769
01:47:05,544 --> 01:47:08,912
for winning a referendum
that grants him sweeping new powers.
1770
01:47:09,006 --> 01:47:13,421
Picks them up, amplifies them,
circulates, and then it becomes a thing.
1771
01:47:13,510 --> 01:47:15,672
You know, the last time
I jokingly said that...
1772
01:47:15,763 --> 01:47:16,924
Sixteen years...
1773
01:47:17,014 --> 01:47:21,759
...the papers started saying,
"He's got despotic tendencies."
1774
01:47:22,478 --> 01:47:24,094
No, I'm not looking to do it.
1775
01:47:25,898 --> 01:47:27,685
Unless you want
to do it, that's okay.
1776
01:47:27,775 --> 01:47:30,062
And it becomes part
of the discourse.
1777
01:47:30,152 --> 01:47:32,644
Half of all Republicans
in a poll said
1778
01:47:32,738 --> 01:47:35,947
they would agree to postpone
the 2020 election
1779
01:47:36,033 --> 01:47:37,865
if President Trump
asked them to.
1780
01:47:37,993 --> 01:47:43,034
52% of Republicans would support
postponing the 2020 election
1781
01:47:43,123 --> 01:47:45,160
if Trump proposed it.
1782
01:47:45,250 --> 01:47:46,536
And he hasn't
even proposed it.
1783
01:47:46,627 --> 01:47:49,540
People do think,
"Well, we have this democracy.
1784
01:47:49,630 --> 01:47:51,292
"We've had it
for over 200 years.
1785
01:47:51,423 --> 01:47:52,539
"It's not going anywhere."
1786
01:47:53,342 --> 01:47:55,629
But that's so bogus,
that's just not true, Michael.
1787
01:47:55,719 --> 01:47:58,507
We've had a democracy
since circa 1970.
1788
01:47:58,597 --> 01:48:02,557
I mean, if black people can't vote,
it's not really democracy.
1789
01:48:02,643 --> 01:48:05,351
If women can't vote,
it's not really democracy.
1790
01:48:05,437 --> 01:48:08,020
Democracy, I mean,
I love the fact that
1791
01:48:08,107 --> 01:48:10,210
I live in a country which is
more democratic than others.
1792
01:48:10,234 --> 01:48:13,568
But I will say that democracy
in America is an aspiration,
1793
01:48:13,654 --> 01:48:15,190
it's somewhere
we gotta get.
1794
01:48:15,280 --> 01:48:17,943
I mean, only half
the population is voting,
1795
01:48:18,033 --> 01:48:20,150
when there's
unlimited money in politics.
1796
01:48:20,244 --> 01:48:21,485
We're not there yet.
1797
01:48:21,578 --> 01:48:23,365
Over one million newjobs.
1798
01:48:23,455 --> 01:48:25,538
Companies investing billions
in America.
1799
01:48:25,624 --> 01:48:28,162
Stock market reaching
all-time record highs.
1800
01:48:28,252 --> 01:48:29,993
Our country, strong again.
1801
01:48:30,087 --> 01:48:34,707
Never in American history has
a president kept more of his promises
1802
01:48:34,800 --> 01:48:36,962
in his first two years
in office.
1803
01:48:38,178 --> 01:48:40,636
Not the promises he made
to the voters,
1804
01:48:41,473 --> 01:48:44,511
but the promises he made
to his fellow billionaires
1805
01:48:44,601 --> 01:48:45,887
in the ruling class.
1806
01:48:46,437 --> 01:48:48,178
A record tax cut
for the rich.
1807
01:48:48,313 --> 01:48:49,349
Passed.
1808
01:48:49,440 --> 01:48:50,647
Obamacare...
1809
01:48:50,733 --> 01:48:52,565
It's obvious that it's failing.
It's dead.
1810
01:48:52,651 --> 01:48:53,812
Dead.
1811
01:48:53,902 --> 01:48:57,145
Banking regulations
either weakened or removed.
1812
01:48:57,281 --> 01:48:58,943
Doesn't get much bigger
than that, right?
1813
01:48:59,366 --> 01:49:04,202
And he's on his way to packing the
court with 140 conservative judges...
1814
01:49:04,496 --> 01:49:06,579
A modern-day record.
1815
01:49:06,665 --> 01:49:09,829
And making lifetime appointments
to the Supreme Court
1816
01:49:09,918 --> 01:49:11,830
with right-wing judges.
1817
01:49:12,212 --> 01:49:13,919
The Paris climate accords...
1818
01:49:14,006 --> 01:49:15,213
Will withdraw...
1819
01:49:15,299 --> 01:49:16,710
The Iran nuclear deal...
1820
01:49:16,800 --> 01:49:18,007
Will withdraw.
1821
01:49:18,093 --> 01:49:19,925
A reconciliation
with Cuba...
1822
01:49:20,054 --> 01:49:21,340
I am canceling.
1823
01:49:21,430 --> 01:49:22,637
Privatized prisons...
1824
01:49:22,723 --> 01:49:24,510
Stock has nearly doubled.
1825
01:49:24,600 --> 01:49:26,967
Privatized public schools.
1826
01:49:27,061 --> 01:49:29,553
And he's building that wall.
1827
01:49:29,646 --> 01:49:31,262
We want to make it perfecto.
1828
01:49:33,108 --> 01:49:36,272
We shall establish,
beyond the realm of doubt,
1829
01:49:37,279 --> 01:49:41,694
facts, which before
the dark decade of the Third Reich,
1830
01:49:42,284 --> 01:49:43,900
would have seemed incredible.
1831
01:49:44,495 --> 01:49:49,411
I had a defendant who killed
90,000 Jews and I asked him,
1832
01:49:50,084 --> 01:49:51,450
"Why did you do that?"
1833
01:49:51,960 --> 01:49:52,996
And he said,
1834
01:49:54,463 --> 01:49:57,046
"Hitler knew more than I did,
1835
01:49:57,132 --> 01:50:00,170
"and he told me the Jews
were planning to attack,
1836
01:50:00,427 --> 01:50:04,011
"as a matter of self-defense, to
defend ourselves against that attack."
1837
01:50:04,098 --> 01:50:05,805
Now, that was
the same argument
1838
01:50:05,891 --> 01:50:07,811
being made by the president
of the United States.
1839
01:50:08,102 --> 01:50:09,218
What Trump is doing.
1840
01:50:09,311 --> 01:50:12,520
We're doing something
for which I hanged this man.
1841
01:50:15,025 --> 01:50:18,268
You can roughly locate
any community in the world
1842
01:50:18,362 --> 01:50:22,276
somewhere along a scale
running all the way from democracy
1843
01:50:22,366 --> 01:50:23,527
to despotism.
1844
01:50:24,118 --> 01:50:26,610
I hated watching
this stuff in civics class,
1845
01:50:26,703 --> 01:50:29,696
but boy, do I miss it now.
1846
01:50:30,833 --> 01:50:32,369
When a competent observer
1847
01:50:32,459 --> 01:50:35,202
looks for signs of despotism
in a community,
1848
01:50:35,295 --> 01:50:37,833
he looks beyond fine words
and noble phrases.
1849
01:50:37,923 --> 01:50:39,334
For which it stands...
1850
01:50:39,424 --> 01:50:41,586
USA! USA!
1851
01:50:41,718 --> 01:50:44,176
As a community moves
towards despotism,
1852
01:50:44,263 --> 01:50:47,677
common courtesy is withheld
from large groups of people
1853
01:50:47,766 --> 01:50:49,098
on account of their race.
1854
01:50:51,770 --> 01:50:54,262
Nasty fucking nigger.
1855
01:50:54,356 --> 01:50:55,642
Are you a citizen?
1856
01:50:55,774 --> 01:50:57,585
- Yeah, I am a citizen.
- Are you a United States citizen?
1857
01:50:57,609 --> 01:50:58,837
Can you please
get away from me?
1858
01:50:58,861 --> 01:51:00,397
Then you should not
be wearing that.
1859
01:51:00,487 --> 01:51:02,007
Can you please
get away from me?
1860
01:51:11,248 --> 01:51:14,958
Fuck you and you nigger
fuckin' people.
1861
01:51:15,377 --> 01:51:18,290
Okay? Get the fuck
out of my country!
1862
01:51:19,548 --> 01:51:22,211
Or because
they don't like a man's religion.
1863
01:51:22,301 --> 01:51:24,463
Is there
a Muslim problem in the world?
1864
01:51:24,553 --> 01:51:25,553
Absolutely.
1865
01:51:25,637 --> 01:51:28,129
Christianity is under
tremendous siege.
1866
01:51:28,223 --> 01:51:30,556
It's death by a million cuts.
1867
01:51:30,642 --> 01:51:33,476
We are getting less and less
and less powerful,
1868
01:51:33,562 --> 01:51:36,896
in terms of a religion
and in terms of a force.
1869
01:51:36,982 --> 01:51:40,066
If a community's
middle income groups grow smaller,
1870
01:51:40,152 --> 01:51:42,895
the likelihood of despotism
has increased.
1871
01:51:42,988 --> 01:51:44,479
I make $7.30 an hour.
1872
01:51:44,573 --> 01:51:45,814
I only get 17 hours a week.
1873
01:51:46,158 --> 01:51:48,195
It's shit.
1874
01:51:49,453 --> 01:51:50,910
Everything around here is.
1875
01:51:50,996 --> 01:51:53,204
- Mr. President!
- Mr. President!
1876
01:51:53,290 --> 01:51:56,704
And when citizens have to
accept what they are told...
1877
01:51:56,793 --> 01:51:59,126
- The media.
- You mean fake news?
1878
01:51:59,213 --> 01:52:01,125
Despotism stands
a good chance.
1879
01:52:01,215 --> 01:52:02,296
Sleazy people.
1880
01:52:02,382 --> 01:52:03,382
Crooked media.
1881
01:52:03,467 --> 01:52:05,424
The media has been
unbelievably dishonest.
1882
01:52:05,510 --> 01:52:08,753
The most dishonest groups
of people I've ever met.
1883
01:52:08,847 --> 01:52:11,009
But I'd never kill 'em.
I hate 'em.
1884
01:52:11,099 --> 01:52:12,510
I would never kill them.
1885
01:52:12,601 --> 01:52:13,887
I would never do that.
1886
01:52:14,394 --> 01:52:15,510
Uh...
1887
01:52:15,604 --> 01:52:17,937
Let's see. Nah.
No, I wouldn't.
1888
01:52:18,023 --> 01:52:21,516
Wait, let's see, who's...
I want to find a friendly reporter.
1889
01:52:21,610 --> 01:52:23,442
Questions are not encouraged.
1890
01:52:23,528 --> 01:52:25,110
Don't ask me questions
like that.
1891
01:52:25,239 --> 01:52:26,799
You're not a very good
reporter doing that.
1892
01:52:26,823 --> 01:52:28,530
How can you ask
such a question?
1893
01:52:28,659 --> 01:52:30,899
Do you have a question that now
is a legitimate question?
1894
01:52:30,994 --> 01:52:32,986
How dare you question
the fact?
1895
01:52:33,080 --> 01:52:34,491
I guess
I don't understand.
1896
01:52:34,581 --> 01:52:37,039
If the information coming
from those leaks is real,
1897
01:52:37,167 --> 01:52:39,687
- then how can the stories be fake?
- The reporting is fake.
1898
01:52:39,711 --> 01:52:42,499
And if books,
newspapers and the radio
1899
01:52:42,589 --> 01:52:44,046
are efficiently controlled...
1900
01:52:44,132 --> 01:52:45,873
Sit down. Sit down.
1901
01:52:45,968 --> 01:52:47,129
Sit down.
1902
01:52:47,219 --> 01:52:48,960
I have the right
to ask a question.
1903
01:52:49,054 --> 01:52:50,894
I have... No, no,
I'm a reporter, and I have...
1904
01:52:51,390 --> 01:52:53,302
Don't touch me, sir.
Don't touch me, sir.
1905
01:52:53,392 --> 01:52:55,509
The people
will read and accept
1906
01:52:55,602 --> 01:52:58,515
exactly what the few
in control want them to.
1907
01:52:58,605 --> 01:53:01,063
But it must be true!
I saw it in this book right here.
1908
01:53:01,191 --> 01:53:03,899
Now that's what I call
a nice question.
1909
01:53:04,278 --> 01:53:06,270
What I say goes, see?
1910
01:53:06,655 --> 01:53:08,612
I'm the law around here.
1911
01:53:08,699 --> 01:53:11,032
I'm president,
and they're not.
1912
01:53:14,538 --> 01:53:15,938
He knows
what he's doing.
1913
01:53:15,998 --> 01:53:19,708
It's the same thing that authoritarians
and fascists have done in the past.
1914
01:53:19,793 --> 01:53:23,002
You need to make sure that
when charges of corruption
1915
01:53:23,088 --> 01:53:27,628
or other wrongdoing come forth,
nobody believes the judiciary.
1916
01:53:27,718 --> 01:53:30,711
We're the only country,
essentially, that has judges.
1917
01:53:30,804 --> 01:53:32,198
The intelligence services.
1918
01:53:32,222 --> 01:53:34,134
The corruption
at the top of the FBI.
1919
01:53:34,224 --> 01:53:35,618
- The press...
- Fake news.
1920
01:53:35,642 --> 01:53:37,804
You need to make sure
that they are discredited.
1921
01:53:37,894 --> 01:53:40,352
What you're seeing
and what you're reading
1922
01:53:40,439 --> 01:53:43,102
is not what's happening.
1923
01:53:43,191 --> 01:53:46,684
People believe him, and this is of
course, puzzling to many of his critics.
1924
01:53:46,778 --> 01:53:51,364
But if the strongman,
the authoritarian, has done his job,
1925
01:53:51,450 --> 01:53:54,318
he has bonded people to him
a long time ago.
1926
01:53:54,411 --> 01:53:57,529
And there's Trump, who's doing that
with his rallies and his loyalty oaths.
1927
01:53:57,622 --> 01:53:59,614
Should we do the pledge?
1928
01:53:59,708 --> 01:54:01,165
Raise your right hand.
1929
01:54:01,835 --> 01:54:05,795
Do you pledge that on Tuesday,
you will go...
1930
01:54:05,881 --> 01:54:08,874
To vote for Donald Trump
tomorrow, raise that hand.
1931
01:54:08,967 --> 01:54:11,584
I love you. I love you.
1932
01:54:11,678 --> 01:54:13,419
People don't care
if he's lying.
1933
01:54:15,432 --> 01:54:17,549
They believe in him,
1934
01:54:17,642 --> 01:54:21,101
and that's more important
than believing the truth.
1935
01:54:21,188 --> 01:54:22,999
You've been hearing me say
that it's a rigged system,
1936
01:54:23,023 --> 01:54:24,980
but now I don't say it
anymore, because I won.
1937
01:54:25,067 --> 01:54:26,399
Okay? It's true.
1938
01:54:26,985 --> 01:54:28,317
You know, now I don't care.
1939
01:54:29,071 --> 01:54:30,437
I don't care.
1940
01:54:30,530 --> 01:54:33,113
The founders thought,
"This thing's gonna last a decade,
1941
01:54:33,200 --> 01:54:35,613
"a few decades, we'll be lucky
if it's a few generations."
1942
01:54:35,702 --> 01:54:37,062
Democracy means
ruled by the people
1943
01:54:37,120 --> 01:54:39,032
and if the people aren't
asserting themselves,
1944
01:54:39,122 --> 01:54:41,785
then democracy will go away.
1945
01:54:41,875 --> 01:54:46,711
And whether it's to some
drastic form like fascism,
1946
01:54:46,797 --> 01:54:49,414
or whether it's
to some form where,
1947
01:54:49,508 --> 01:54:52,842
yeah, we keep voting, but fewer of
us are allowed to vote every year,
1948
01:54:52,928 --> 01:54:54,715
and there's some kind
of emergency statute,
1949
01:54:54,805 --> 01:54:57,639
or, you know, that the money
just makes the voting basically a joke,
1950
01:54:57,724 --> 01:55:00,307
which is unfortunately where
we're tending anyway...
1951
01:55:00,769 --> 01:55:04,058
Whether it's one or the other,
there's so much to lose.
1952
01:55:04,147 --> 01:55:07,311
There will be a civil war
in the United States of America.
1953
01:55:07,776 --> 01:55:11,315
The Christians will finally
come out of the shadows.
1954
01:55:11,405 --> 01:55:14,239
The sign says, "Hey,
liberals, better get your guns
1955
01:55:14,324 --> 01:55:16,111
"if you try to impeach
President Trump."
1956
01:55:16,201 --> 01:55:17,201
Just try it.
1957
01:55:17,285 --> 01:55:20,323
You will have a spasm
of violence in this country,
1958
01:55:20,414 --> 01:55:22,121
and insurrection
like you've never seen.
1959
01:55:22,707 --> 01:55:29,455
3% of us own
over 160 million guns.
1960
01:55:30,799 --> 01:55:33,917
Why would they need
all those guns?
1961
01:55:35,178 --> 01:55:38,171
I would take up arms
because I think we need a revolution.
1962
01:55:38,807 --> 01:55:40,173
I'm not a violent person.
1963
01:55:40,267 --> 01:55:41,883
I'm even an ordained pastor.
1964
01:55:42,727 --> 01:55:43,871
Michael Moore
is everywhere, saying,
1965
01:55:43,895 --> 01:55:49,562
"Surround the Capitol,
surround them, uprise, get violent."
1966
01:55:50,193 --> 01:55:51,604
How do... No!
1967
01:55:51,695 --> 01:55:53,812
I told you!
I'm not that smart!
1968
01:55:58,368 --> 01:56:01,111
We're in a, literally,
a 10-or-20-year struggle
1969
01:56:01,204 --> 01:56:02,306
for the future of the country,
1970
01:56:02,330 --> 01:56:04,322
and that's why you're
just gonna have to man up,
1971
01:56:04,416 --> 01:56:06,373
toughen up, just like
our forefathers, right?
1972
01:56:06,460 --> 01:56:08,729
We're gonna have to do exactly
the kind of effort they had,
1973
01:56:08,753 --> 01:56:09,869
and we can win.
1974
01:56:09,963 --> 01:56:13,582
The white establishment
is now the minority.
1975
01:56:13,675 --> 01:56:15,995
- You ready to shoot, Barry? All right, let's go.
- Uh-huh.
1976
01:56:20,515 --> 01:56:22,552
He's bleeding out,
isn't he?
1977
01:56:22,642 --> 01:56:23,642
Uh-huh.
1978
01:56:24,394 --> 01:56:26,260
Susan Sontag, she said,
1979
01:56:26,354 --> 01:56:30,598
"We're just one 9/11 away
from losing our democracy."
1980
01:56:30,692 --> 01:56:32,809
Yeah, I mean, I may be
a bit more pessimistic.
1981
01:56:32,903 --> 01:56:34,860
I think we're
zero 9/11s away.
1982
01:56:35,489 --> 01:56:36,946
We have to think.
We have to reflect.
1983
01:56:37,032 --> 01:56:39,051
We have to think, "These are the kinds
of things which happen in history."
1984
01:56:39,075 --> 01:56:42,159
Let's not trade the real
freedom for fake safety.
1985
01:56:42,245 --> 01:56:44,348
When there's a terrorist attack,
the thing we have to mobilize for
1986
01:56:44,372 --> 01:56:45,863
is not safety, but freedom.
1987
01:56:53,924 --> 01:56:55,381
There is one report,
1988
01:56:55,467 --> 01:57:00,462
as of yet unconfirmed, that a plane
has hit the World Trade Center,
1989
01:57:00,555 --> 01:57:02,797
and you can see that there is
smoke there coming out
1990
01:57:02,891 --> 01:57:04,371
of at least two sides
of the building.
1991
01:57:06,019 --> 01:57:09,219
The search is underway for those
who were behind these evil acts.
1992
01:57:11,983 --> 01:57:14,396
The USA Patriot Act
adopted by Congress
1993
01:57:14,486 --> 01:57:17,069
and signed by Bush
six weeks after the attacks
1994
01:57:17,155 --> 01:57:19,943
allows for searches of medical
and financial records,
1995
01:57:20,075 --> 01:57:22,112
computer and telephone
conversations,
1996
01:57:22,202 --> 01:57:24,865
and even for the books
you take out of the library.
1997
01:57:25,622 --> 01:57:27,204
Most of the people we spoke to
1998
01:57:27,290 --> 01:57:30,909
say they're willing to give up
some liberties to fight terrorism.
1999
01:57:32,546 --> 01:57:37,007
Either you're with us,
or you're with the terrorists.
2000
01:57:39,302 --> 01:57:43,546
Donald J. Trump is calling for a total
and complete shutdown
2001
01:57:43,640 --> 01:57:46,257
of Muslims entering
the United States.
2002
01:57:46,351 --> 01:57:49,719
Last week, ICE agents
fanned out in raids like this one
2003
01:57:49,813 --> 01:57:51,099
in every state.
2004
01:57:51,189 --> 01:57:54,023
...ripping children away
from their families
2005
01:57:54,109 --> 01:57:55,566
under this new policy.
2006
01:58:16,631 --> 01:58:18,918
Taking babies
away from their mother,
2007
01:58:19,009 --> 01:58:21,922
and locking up one or the other
and separating them
2008
01:58:22,012 --> 01:58:24,800
because they did
no harm to anybody.
2009
01:58:24,889 --> 01:58:27,506
They just didn't comply
with the stupid regulations.
2010
01:58:27,976 --> 01:58:30,559
That's a crime
against humanity in my judgment.
2011
01:58:30,854 --> 01:58:34,939
The Statue of Liberty stands there,
you know, "Send me your tired,
2012
01:58:35,025 --> 01:58:37,938
"your huddled masses
yearning to breathe free.
2013
01:58:39,070 --> 01:58:40,356
"I lift my...
2014
01:58:41,156 --> 01:58:43,569
"My lamp beside
the golden door."
2015
01:58:43,867 --> 01:58:45,324
Where? Where?
2016
01:58:46,077 --> 01:58:48,569
We don't see it in this country,
and it pains me.
2017
01:58:48,872 --> 01:58:50,079
And, uh...
2018
01:58:51,041 --> 01:58:52,703
That's the world
in which we live.
2019
01:58:53,293 --> 01:58:56,536
And, uh, we've got
to change it or perish.
2020
01:59:02,344 --> 01:59:06,805
Months from now, when we realize
that the democracy we wished we'd had
2021
01:59:06,890 --> 01:59:08,472
never came to be,
2022
01:59:09,142 --> 01:59:14,513
and what we did have was eliminated due
to some national emergency,
2023
01:59:15,231 --> 01:59:18,690
will we ask ourselves,
"When was that moment
2024
01:59:18,818 --> 01:59:22,607
"we could have turned things around
before it was too late?"
2025
01:59:24,449 --> 01:59:27,988
Was it when the teacher
in your family had to get a second job?
2026
01:59:30,455 --> 01:59:33,368
Was it when you first saw
the friendly cop on your beat,
2027
01:59:33,458 --> 01:59:38,328
wearing this and driving
around in that?
2028
01:59:39,381 --> 01:59:41,543
Was it when, after months
of being addicted
2029
01:59:41,633 --> 01:59:44,546
to the pills you'd been given
to make the pain go away,
2030
01:59:45,011 --> 01:59:47,970
that you realized
it really wasn't the pain
2031
01:59:48,098 --> 01:59:50,135
that needed to go away?
2032
01:59:50,934 --> 01:59:54,268
Was it when you first heard that
the president you dearly loved
2033
01:59:54,354 --> 01:59:58,519
took more money from Goldman Sachs
than any other contributor?
2034
01:59:58,900 --> 02:00:03,270
And you wanted to tell someone,
but instead,
2035
02:00:03,363 --> 02:00:05,821
you just quietly threw up
in your mouth?
2036
02:00:09,744 --> 02:00:12,236
Was it when you convinced yourself
that this misfortune...
2037
02:00:15,208 --> 02:00:17,040
...would never
come to your town?
2038
02:00:19,838 --> 02:00:23,002
Was it when you realized
that we do indeed love our guns
2039
02:00:23,091 --> 02:00:24,798
more than we love our kids?
2040
02:00:25,677 --> 02:00:28,886
And that if this is the America
we're trying to save,
2041
02:00:28,972 --> 02:00:31,589
maybe we need
to ask ourselves,
2042
02:00:32,475 --> 02:00:33,636
why?
2043
02:00:36,354 --> 02:00:38,437
Why save this America?
2044
02:00:38,523 --> 02:00:43,609
The America I want to save is
the America we've never had.
2045
02:00:46,239 --> 02:00:49,107
It didn't need
to end up like this.
2046
02:00:51,453 --> 02:00:53,115
And it still doesn't.
2047
02:01:22,650 --> 02:01:25,393
Evil is
a slow-moving organism.
2048
02:01:25,487 --> 02:01:27,444
By the time it coalesces
2049
02:01:27,530 --> 02:01:28,611
into one giant terror...
2050
02:01:28,698 --> 02:01:30,690
...it is too late.
2051
02:01:32,619 --> 02:01:35,987
We had spent too much time
trying to comfort ourselves
2052
02:01:36,122 --> 02:01:38,785
with the belief
that the Constitution would save us,
2053
02:01:40,794 --> 02:01:42,410
elections would save us,
2054
02:01:45,089 --> 02:01:47,331
the special prosecutor
would save us,
2055
02:01:49,052 --> 02:01:50,793
impeachment would save us.
2056
02:01:52,764 --> 02:01:54,175
We kept hoping.
2057
02:01:55,183 --> 02:01:57,721
But it was that hope
that killed us.
2058
02:01:58,978 --> 02:02:04,190
Hope was wishful
and passive and comforting.
2059
02:02:05,193 --> 02:02:06,650
We didn't need comfort.
2060
02:02:07,237 --> 02:02:09,069
We needed action.
2061
02:02:11,241 --> 02:02:14,825
And sometimes, I guess
it takes a Donald Trump
2062
02:02:14,911 --> 02:02:18,325
to make us wake up and realize
that what we need to do
2063
02:02:18,414 --> 02:02:22,374
is to acknowledge that we have to
get rid of the whole rotten system
2064
02:02:22,502 --> 02:02:23,959
that gave us Trump.
2065
02:02:27,257 --> 02:02:31,968
And to realize that now, right now,
our time is up.
2066
02:02:32,053 --> 02:02:33,669
We need to act immediately...
2067
02:02:44,983 --> 02:02:46,349
Oh.
2068
02:02:46,484 --> 02:02:48,146
Oh, gosh, what happened?
2069
02:02:48,736 --> 02:02:51,274
"Ballistic missile threat
inbound to Hawaii.
2070
02:02:51,364 --> 02:02:53,777
"Seek immediate shelter,
this is not a drill."
2071
02:02:53,950 --> 02:02:55,907
Oh, my God! What do we do?
2072
02:02:56,494 --> 02:02:58,827
It says this is not a drill.
2073
02:02:58,913 --> 02:03:00,891
"This is not a drill."
Those were the exact words.
2074
02:03:00,915 --> 02:03:02,560
Ballistic missile threat
inbound to Hawaii.
2075
02:03:02,584 --> 02:03:04,144
Seek immediate shelter,
this is not a drill.
2076
02:03:04,168 --> 02:03:06,313
What about tourists?
We have no idea where to go.
2077
02:03:11,676 --> 02:03:15,135
I mean, this literally could be
the start of a nuclear war...
2078
02:03:15,597 --> 02:03:16,758
Shit.
2079
02:03:17,807 --> 02:03:19,410
The US Pacific Command
2080
02:03:19,434 --> 02:03:20,994
has detected a missile
threat to Hawaii.
2081
02:03:21,060 --> 02:03:22,096
What do we do?
2082
02:03:22,186 --> 02:03:25,066
A missile may impact
on land or sea within minutes.
2083
02:03:25,106 --> 02:03:26,472
This is not a drill.
2084
02:03:28,568 --> 02:03:29,809
Holy shit.
2085
02:03:30,737 --> 02:03:32,273
This is
a missile threat!
2086
02:03:36,451 --> 02:03:37,817
It was just an accident.
2087
02:03:38,536 --> 02:03:39,652
A mistake.
2088
02:03:40,622 --> 02:03:45,708
But make no mistake about it,
this is the world in which we now live.
2089
02:03:46,878 --> 02:03:49,040
911,
what is the emergency?
2090
02:03:49,130 --> 02:03:51,901
Stoneman Douglas High School.
They were shooting into my classroom.
2091
02:03:51,925 --> 02:03:56,670
Six minutes and 20 seconds
with an AR-15, and my friend Carmen
2092
02:03:56,763 --> 02:04:00,222
would never complain to me
about piano practice.
2093
02:04:00,642 --> 02:04:04,431
Aaron Feis would never call
Kiera "Miss Sunshine."
2094
02:04:04,520 --> 02:04:05,852
Alex Schachter
2095
02:04:05,939 --> 02:04:08,852
would never walk into school
with his brother, Ryan.
2096
02:04:08,983 --> 02:04:12,442
Scott Beigel would never joke
around with Cameron at camp.
2097
02:04:12,528 --> 02:04:15,441
Helena Ramsay would never hang
out after school with Max.
2098
02:04:15,907 --> 02:04:19,025
Gina Montalto would never wave
to her friend Liam at lunch.
2099
02:04:19,619 --> 02:04:24,034
Joaquin Oliver would
never play basketball with Sam or Dylan.
2100
02:04:24,123 --> 02:04:25,955
Alaina Petty would never...
2101
02:04:26,042 --> 02:04:27,453
Cara Loughran would never...
2102
02:04:27,543 --> 02:04:29,000
Chris Hixon would never...
2103
02:04:29,087 --> 02:04:30,703
Luke Hoyer would never...
2104
02:04:30,838 --> 02:04:33,251
Martin Duque Anguiano
would never...
2105
02:04:33,383 --> 02:04:36,376
Peter Wang would never...
Alyssa Alhadeff would never...
2106
02:04:36,511 --> 02:04:40,505
Jaime Guttenberg would never...
Meadow Pollack would never.
