  • HELLO, MICHAEL, NICE TO HAVE YOU BACK.

  • >> HELLO, STEPHEN.

  • IT'S GREAT TO BE BACK.

  • >> Stephen: HOW WERE YOU FEELING?

  • YOU WERE ONE OF THE FEW PEOPLE IN 2016 WHO SENT UP A SIGNAL

  • FLARE SAYING, HEY, GUYS, TRUMP COULD REALLY WIN THIS ONE,

  • PREPARE YOURSELF FOR THIS.

  • >> RIGHT.

  • >> Stephen: 2020, BIDEN'S LEAD BIG 5 MILLION VOTES, LOOK LIKE

  • HE'S ON TRACK TO GO TO 306 IN THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE.

  • DO YOU THINK BIDEN CAN PULL THIS ONE OUT, MICHAEL?

  • >> (LAUGHING) HE'S ALREADY PULLED IT OUT.

  • YES, WE ALL FEEL GREAT ABOUT THAT.

  • BUT WHAT WE ARE ON GUARD FOR IS THE FACT THAT TRUMP IS, ONCE

  • AGAIN, NOT DEALING WITH REALITY, AND I NEVER TAKE ANYTHING FOR

  • GRANTED WHENT IT COMES TO HIM, WHEN HE CAN PULL OFF WHAT HE'S

  • UP TO, WHO HE'S FIRING, WHO HE'S REPLACING, THE HEAD OF THE

  • DEFENSE DEPARTMENT WITH A GUY THAT TRIPPED GOING UP THE STEPS

  • TO HAVE THE PENTAGON.

  • ALL OF -- UP THE STEPS OF THE PENTAGON.

  • I THINK PEOPLE ARE JUSTIFIABLY NERVES ABOUT GETTING THROUGH

  • THESE NEXT 69 DAYS OR SO.

  • >> Stephen: LET'S CONCENTRATE ON THE POSITIVE FOR A MOMENT.

  • >> YES.

  • >> Stephen: YOU'RE A PROUD MICHIGANDER.

  • >> YES.

  • >> Stephen: HOW DO YOU FEEL YOUR STATE, RIGHT NOW BIDEN'S

  • LEAD IS TEN TIMES LARGER THAN WHAT TRUMP WON THE STATE BY IN

  • 2016.

  • HOW DOES IT FEEL TO SEE YOUR STATE FLIP BACK?

  • >> REALLY GOOD.

  • >> Stephen: LET ME WRITE THAT DOWN.

  • MICHAEL MOORE SAID "REALLY GOOD."

  • THAT'S VERY RARE.

  • >> WELL, THE EMBARRASSMENT OF THESE LAST FOUR YEARS, EVERY

  • TIME I HEAR MICHIGAN BEING CALLED A RED STATE, TO REMOVE

  • THE SCARLET LETTER LAST WEEK FELT GOOD, I THINK, AMONGST MANY

  • OF THE PEOPLE I KNOW IN MICHIGAN.

  • SO, YES, WE DID SOMETHING REALLY IMPORTANT AS DID THE PEOPLE IN

  • WISCONSIN AND PENNSYLVANIA.

  • >> Stephen: WHAT MADE THE DIFFERENCE, YOU THINK, THIS

  • TIME?

  • >> WELL, FOUR YEARS OF AN INSANE PERSON IN THE WHITE HOUSE, I

  • MEAN, THAT HAD A LOT TO DO WITH IT.

  • AND I THINK, TOO, THE BLACK COMMUNITY WAS PRETTY MUCH

  • IGNORED FOUR YEARS AGO, AND, REMEMBER, THESE ARE MAJORITY

  • BLACK CITIES -- FLINT, PONTIAC -- AND 83 COUNTIES IN

  • MICHIGAN, BIDEN WON 11 OF THEM, YET WON THE STATE BY THAT LARGE

  • MARGIN BECAUSE UP THE I-75 CORRIDOR, ALL THESE MAJORITY

  • BLACK CITIES CAME OUT IN HUGE NUMBERS FOR HIM AND THE COLLEGE

  • TOWNS OF ANN ARBOR AND EAST LANSING, HUGE NUMBERS, SO THE

  • YOUTH VOTE, BLACK VOTE, THAT'S WHAT REALLY MADE THE DIFFERENCE

  • THIS YEAR.

  • >> Stephen: WHAT DO PEOPLE WHO AREN'T FROM MICHIGAN NOT

  • UNDERSTAND ABOUT THIS STATE BECAUSE, YES, YOU HAVE THIS

  • VICTORY BY BIDEN THERE, YOU HAVE A LARGE URBAN BLACK POPULATION.

  • TELL ME ABOUT THE GUYS WHO PRETEND TO BE IN THE ARMY WITH

  • THE CAMO AND SAY THEY'RE MILITIA AND THINK THEY'RE GOING TO

  • KIDNAP THE GOVERNOR.

  • TELL ME ABOUT THAT MICHIGAN.

  • >> YEAH, I WENT TO HIGH SCHOOL WITH THEM.

  • I KNOW THEM.

  • >> Stephen: EVERYBODY WENT TO HIGH SCHOOL WITH THEM.

  • BUT WHAT'S THE MOTIVATION?

  • >> I MEAN, SERIOUSLY, THOUGH, TERRY NICHOLS WITH TIMOTHY

  • McVEIGH WHO BLEW UP THE OKLAHOMA CITY FEDERAL BUILDING

  • GRADUATED THE SAME YEAR I DID IN THE HIGH SCHOOL NEXT TO MINE

  • WHERE I WENT TO HIGH SCHOOL.

  • NO, SO I'VE KNOWN ALL THESE GUYS FOR A LONG TIME.

  • AGAIN, I THINK THEY'RE JUST A LOT OF BLUSTER.

  • THEY WERE DEMONSTRATING WITH THEIR GUNS AT THE STATE CAPITOL

  • THIS YEAR BECAUSE THEY WERE UPSET THAT THE GYMS AND THE NAIL

  • SALONS WERE CLOSED, AND I WAS, LIKE, WELL, GOOD!

  • MAYBE THERE'S PROGRESS BEING MADE HERE.

  • BUT I THINK THAT, YES, LISTEN, 70 MILLION-PLUS PEOPLE VOTED FOR

  • TRUMP SO, CLEARLY, WE KNOW THE COUNTRY WE LIVE IN, THE PROBLEMS

  • AREN'T NECESSARILY GOING TO GO AWAY.

  • THE BIGOTRY, THE MISOGYNY AND ALL THESE THINGS, WE'LL STILL

  • HAVE TO WORK WITH PEOPLE -- AND MAYBE THEIR KIDS WILL GO TO

  • SCHOOL, THEY'LL READ BOOKS, AND THE NEXT GENERATION WILL BE

  • BETTER.

  • >> Stephen: WE HAVE TO TAKE A QUICK BREAK BUT STICK AROUND,

  • WE'LL BE BACK WITH MORE MICHAEL MOORE.
