Twelve days after the passing of Tony Bennett, Michael Moore shares his encounters with this truly great American. From the first time they met 33 years ago, to the times they often sat in attendance a grade school band concert, to Tony’s participation in the Selma March, his Bronze Star in the army in WWII for helping to liberate a Dachau concentration camp, to being there (along with Harry Belafonte) on the opening night of Mike’s Broadway show. For years, Tony was an accidental mentor to Mike and a source of wisdom on how to make it in this world. This is Michael Moore’s tribute to a good soul who meant a lot to many.

Last night, on November 29, 2022, a federal jury in Washington, D.C., found that indeed there was an actual conspiracy to commit sedition — the overthrow of our democratically-elected government — by a number of white male American citizens in the weeks leading up to the January 6th violent insurrection that ransacked the Capitol and sent 535 members of Congress and the lackey vice-president, plus their staffs, fleeing for their lives. But it turns out the five Americans convicted of various offenses did not include their ringleader, Donald John Trump. Until that happens, Justice has not happened. In this episode of Rumble with Michael Moore, Mike probes the inner workings of the most heinous sedition in this nation’s history and what we need to do to have Trump finally pay for his crimes.

THIS JUST IN: The citizens of the State of Kansas — which is one of our reddest and most Republican states — has just voted in an overwhelming landslide tonight to keep abortion legal and available to all women! Here Michael Moore sends the word out to all that those who seek to take rights away from women shall not succeed and will be defeated in this fall’s election. Voters in Kansas came out in droves on Tuesday to tell the Supreme Court where they could go. Their message to the rest of us is clear: We have 3 months to work as hard as we can to save our Democracy. All Democrats must sign a pledge to make Roe v Wade the law of the land — and to eliminate the filibuster. All Republicans who voted against certifying the legal results of the 2020 election must go to wherever traitors go.

Last week Pope Francis visited Canada to apologize and seek forgiveness for the crimes committed by the Catholic Church against the indigenous peoples of Canada. He called that practice of Christianity “evil.” On the first day of his visit Mike received an email from one of Canada’s most well known and beloved Native Canadians, the folksinger Buffy Sainte Marie. In it she explains why an apology isn’t enough. Mike then asks the Pope (whom he’s met) to grant indigenous people everywhere a Papal Decree that’s long overdue. *************** Read more about The Doctrine of Discovery: National Geographic article DoctrineOfDiscovery.org *************** Music from today’s episode: “Aiya Surli Tikiatasanga (The Time I Arrive)” — Leo Osoak “The Mission (Gabriel’s Oboe)” — Ennio Morricone “Universal Soldier” — Buffy Sainte Marie *************** Podcast Underwriters: 1) Anchor.fm can help you start your own podcast.
