ACADEMY AWARDING WINNING FILM MAKING ENTERTAINING AND TEACHING

US FOR DECADES, I'M SO THRILLED IS HE HERE TONIGHT.

PLEASE WELCOME THE ONE, THE ONLY MICHAEL MOORE IS HERE.

MICHAEL, MI SO LEAP YOU ARE HERE.

IT HAS BEEN THE MOST INCREDIBLE EIGHT OR SO DAYS IN THESE UNITED

STATES OF AMERICA WHICH FEELS MORE IRONIC EVERY TIME I SAY IT

OUTLOUD.

HOW ARE YOU DOING?

HOW ARE YOU HOLDING UP?

>> I AM ACTUALLY DOING, I HATE TO SAY IT, I'M DOING WELL

BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN IN MY OWN PERSONAL LOCKDOWN FOR MOST OF

THIS TIME.

BUT I HAVE ALSO TRIED AS DIFFICULT AS THESE EIGHT DAYS

HAVE BEEN, I HAVE TRIED TO FOCUS ON ALL OF THE GOOD THAT HAS

HAPPENED IN RECENT WEEKS, THE FACT THAT TWO SENATORS WERE

ELECTED IN GEORGIA A WEEK OR SO AGO.

AND THAT GEORGIA WILL NOW BE REPRESENTED BY A BLACK MAN AND A

JEWISH MAN, FROM GEORGIA.

THIS IS-- THIS IS PROGRESS, AMERICA.

SO THERE ARE GOOD THINGS HAPPENING DESPITE OF ALL THE

SADNESS AND THE THINGS THAT WE'RE HAVING TO DEAL WITH.

ESPECIALLY WHAT WE LEARNED TODAY ON THE NEWS WHERE IT APPEARS

POSSIBLY SOME REPUBLICAN MEMBERS OF CONGRESS OR THEIR STAFF

HELPED SOME OF THE LEADERSHIP OF THE MOB THE DAY BEFORE, GAVE A

TOUR OF ALL OF THE CAPITOL BUILDINGS, THE TUNNELS

UNDERNEATH AND THEY, IF DOES LOOK LIKE THEY KNEW WHAT THEY

WERE DOING AND WHERE THEY WERE GOING AM AND NOW WE MAY LEARN

THAT PEOPLE HELPED THEM THAT SHOULDN'T HAVE HELPED THEM, IF

THAT IS THE CASE.

AGAIN, THERE HAS TO BE CONSEQUENCES FOR EVERYBODY'S

ACTIONS THAT TOOK PLACE IN A RIOT, A MOB ATTACK AGAINST OUR

DEMOCRACY.

I JUST CAN'T BE MORE CLEAR THAN THAT.

>> James: BUT I COULDN'T AGREE WITH YOU MORE, ON EVERY POINT

THAT YOU MADE, ACTUALLY.

I MEAN JUST YOU MENTIONING THEN, THAT THERE WERE REPUBLICANS,

MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC, WHAT DO YOU THINK, WHAT DO YOU THINK THE

REPUBLICAN PARTY LOOKS LIKE IN THE NEXT FOUR, EIGHT YEARS?

LIKE I DON'T FEEL LIKE I KNOW A HUGE AMOUNT ABOUT THE HISTORY OF

THAT PARTY.

BUT I FEEL LIKE IT'S GOING TO BE AN INCREDIBLY ROCKY TIME.

WOULD YOU AGREE?

>> WORSE THAN ROCKY.

HONESTLY, I THINK IT'S OVER.

I THINK IT'S OVER.

THIS IS OUR INITIAL PARTIES WERE THE FEDERALIST PARTY, AND

SOMETHING CALLED THE DEM KRATDIC REPUBLICAN PARTY, SOUNDS SWEET

RIGHT NOW.

THOSE PARTIES HAD TO GO AWAY FOR VARIOUS REASONS.

THEN CAME THE WIGS IN THE MID 1800ST.

AND THEN THEY WENT AWAY.

AND THIS POSSIBLY COULD BE A MOMENT WHERE THE REPUBLICAN

PARTY HAS TO GO AWAY OR WHAT IT HAS DONE-- FOR WHAT IT HAS DONE

TO THIS COUNTRY.

THAT DOESN'T MEAN THE PEOPLE, WE DON'T WANT A ONE PARTY COUNTRY.

SO THE GOOD PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT LAWBREAKERS AND WHO LOVE THIS

COUNTRY AND WHO ARE CONSERVATIVE, THEY DON'T SHARE

MY VALUES, BUT THEY HAVE TO BE REPRESENTED.

AND SO THEY MAY NEED TO FORM A NEW PARTY.

THEY MAY NEED TO FORM A NEW PARTY AND THEN THERE MAY HAVE TO

BE LIKE CANADA AND GREAT BRITAIN, YOU HAVE THESE OTHER

TWO PARTIES.

YOU HAVE THE LIBERAL DEMOCRATS IN THE U.K

YOU HAVE THE GREEN, THE NEW DEMOCRATIC PARTY, THAT IS

BECAUSE IN A NATION OF, IN BRITAIN 60 MILLION PEOPLE,

CANADA, 35 MILLION PEOPLE, NO TWO-- TWO PARTIES CAN NOT

REPRESENT THE COMPLETE SPECTRUM OF THE PEOPLE.

YOU NEED MORE REPRESENTATION.

WE NEED THAT IN THIS COUNTRY, WE HAVE 330 MILLION PEOPLE.

SO YUS TWO PARTIES, I THINK, EVENTUALLY WE'LL HAVE TO GET

MORE.

IT WILL TAKE MORE REPRESENTATIVES AND I THINK WHEN

PEOPLE FEEL LIKE THEY HAVE A VOICE, THEY WILL BE LESS

INCLINED TO VIOLENCE, LESS INCLINED TO WANT TO OVERTHROW,

HAVE A COUP, WHATEVER, BECAUSE SOME OF THEM WILL BE

REPRESENTED.

JUST AS THEY ARE IN PARLIAMENT IN THE U.K. AND IN CANADA.

AND MAYBE 90% OF THE THE COUNTRIES THINK THAT THEY ARE

WHACK A DOODLES BUT FLA IS OKAY, BACK A DOODLES IN A

DEMOCRACY-- DEMOCRACY HAVE A RIGHT TO REPRESENTATION.

>> James: ARGUE LEIGH ONE OF THEM IS THE OF THE THE UNITED

STATES AD HE IS GOING TO BE THE FIRST PRESIDENT TO BE IMPEACHED

TWICE AND NOW HE ONLY HAS LESS THAN A WEEK NOW OF HIS

PRESIDENCY, WILL THIS IMPEEVEMENT MEAN ANYTHING?

WILL IT, WHEN WE LACK BACK ON IT.

WHAT WILL IT MEAN?

>> IT WILL MEAN, FIRST OF ALL, THAT WE, WE WENT ON THE RECORD

FOR HISTORY THAT WE WILL NOT TOLERATE A PRESIDENT WHO INCITES

A MOB TO STORM OUR CAPITOL.

DON'T FORGET THE HASHTAG THAT DAY WAS HASHTAG STORM THE

CAPITOL.

SO THEY WERE VERY SCHEER WHAT THEY WANTED TO HAVE HAPPEN.

HE'S BEEN IMPEACHED.

HE NEEDS TO BE CONVICTED BY THE SENATE, THE SOONER THE BETTER

BECAUSE THIS WILL PREVENT HIM FIRST OF ALL FROM RUNNING AGAIN.

HE WILL BE PROHIBITED.

TO YOU OR-- ANYBODY THAT WANTS TO LISTEN TO HIM FOR FOUR MORE

YEARS TALK ABOUT HOW IS HE GOING TO BE RUNNING, START A CAMPAIGN

RALLY NEXT MONTH, FOR 2024.

NO, NO.

>> James: THAT WOULD BE HORRIFIC.

>> EVEN MITCH McCONNELL KNOWS THAT THEY HAVE GOT TO STOP THIS,

SHOW.

AND THEY CAN HAVE THE TRIAL AFTERWARDS BECAUSE HE

COMMITTEDDED THE CRIME.

HE HAS BEEN IMPEACHED.

IN OTHER WORDS, HE HAS BEEN INDICTED.

NOW HE WILL HAVE TO STAND TRIAL AND HOPEFULLY THE SENATE WILL DO

THE RIGHT THING.

BUT YES, I THINK IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT WE PROCEED WITH

THIS.

AND JUST BECAUSE IT IS JUST FIVE OR SIX DAYS UNTIL INAUGURATION,

THAT IS FIVE OR SIX MORE DAYS THAT SOMEBODY AS NANCY PELOSI

SAID, HE IS UNHINGED, HE IS DE RANGED AND WE HAVE NO IDEA WHAT

HE WILL DO.

EVERY TIME HE-- WHAT DID WE ALL DO THAT DAY, WE GO OH NO, HE

DIDN'T JUST SAY THAT, HE DIDN'T DO THAT.

YES, HE DID.

AND WHAT HE COULD DO IN FIVE DAYS, IN SEVEN HOURS, LAST

WEDNESDAY, A WEEK AGO WEDNESDAY, IN JUST SEVEN HOURS, THEY

TRASHED OUR CAPITOL, THEY INTERRUPTED OUR DEMOCRACY, AND

THEY SENT 535 MEMBERS OF CONGRESS FLEEING FOR THEIR

LIVES.

THAT WAS JUST SEVEN HOURS.

SO EVEN HALF A DAY IS TOO MUCH MORE FOR TRUMP TO HOLD ANY KIND

OF POWER.
