Michael Moore predicts 'Trump is toast' in 2024

there are just two days remaining until what could be the most consequential election of our lifetimes and NBC News is out with its final poll which shows both vice president KLA Harris and Donald Trump tied at 49% nationally but it features Harris leading among voters on the key issues of abortion bringing the country together and looking out for the middle class notably voters are also demonstrating more faith in Harris than Trump on the matter of protecting our democracy and this idea is Central to Harris's final pitch to voters in these final days before the election

here's what she told reporters just today in Michigan the systems that are in place for this election in 2024 have integrity they are good systems and the vote of the people will determine the outcome of this election and everyone must know that their vote is their power to determine the outcome of the election and their vote will count it does matter meanwhile Donald Trump's contempt for democracy was on full display during a rally in Pennsylvania earlier today again here is just a part of his chilling message they are fighting so hard to steal this damn

thing we had the safest Border in the history of our country the day that I left I shouldn't have left I mean honestly cuz we did so we did so well to get me somebody would have to shoot through the fake news and I don't mind that so much I don't mind now the Trump campaign released a statement after those remarks which feel more like gaslighting than anything else referring to the media they write quote he was actually looking out for their welfare far more than his own now Trump's consistently violent rhetoric lays be a

crucial difference between our two political parties if you want to call them that in a new piece columnist Ezra Klein wrote In The New York Times we are used to elections pitting Democrats against Republicans this election pits Guardians against counterrevolutionaries Harris surrogates and supporters are united not by shared policy goals but by a shared defense of American institutions that's the core reason that Harris's Coalition is noticeably uh desparate among groups of people as her running mate Tim Walls brags we got Bernie Sanders Dick Cheney and Taylor Swift on the same ticket now leaving Taylor Swift

out for a moment what on Earth do Bernie Sanders and Dick Cheney have in common besides both being Americans who simply want democracy here to survive meanwhile the Trump Coalition is United by a shared distrust and desire to take control of American institutions Klein writes the trumpist Coalition isn't conservative at all it's counterrevolutionary it believes a leftist revolution has corrupted American institutions and a counterrevolution which may even require violence is necessary that's why the Trump side has elevated people like Elon Musk who has been using his social media platform and Trump rallies to Pedal anti-immigrant

election voter fraud conspiracies and RFK Jr who built his entire failed presidential campaign around a whole host of conspiracies including baseless theories about vaccines and anti-depressants and in today's Republican Party you don't get to keep your seat at the table unless you are willing to defend the biggest conspiracy of them all you think it's okay to spread false rumors about fraud and undermine the Integrity of the election regardless of what happens Dana the liberal media has done a better job of spreading misinformation come on you believe that the election will be free and fair so

does that mean that you are confident that if Donald Trump Trump loses I know you think he's going to win but let's just play this out if he loses that he will concede I'm I'm confident that he's going to win without any question and yes I do believe that we will have a fair election we will honor the results and we will celebrate the 47th president being Donald Trump imagine just for a second imagine how different things would be if the Power Players within the Republican Party cared less about winning and actually more about America

imagine if the GOP had turned never Trump after the Access Hollywood tape after the January 6 Insurrection after we learned about the Draconian project 2025 instead the party went all in on their winning horse endorsing racism xenophobia sexism endorsing violent rhetoric and acts of violence endorsing a backsliding of our democracy and doing everything to help Trump get another four years in power enabling trumpism to seep even deeper into the pores of America and live on Far Beyond 2024 joining me now is Michael Moore Academy award-winning filmmaker and host of the Michael Moore podcast Michael it's

great to have you back um on the show you know I don't want to go back to 2016 but you obviously predicted at the time that Trump would win last month you wrote Trump is toast um you know we're almost 48 hours out from perhaps seeing our first results but do you stand behind that today oh even more so I um I just keep wondering the gift that the Trump campaign keeps giving us they don't I don't think they realize I don't think they really are in touch with where the majority of Americans are at

the majority of Americans do not want this device of this they don't want a threat of violence um uh we are okay to disagree with each other but that's where it ends we go to vote who wins wins um half the time I've been very happy with who's won and the other half of the time I haven't been and and we move on with our lives the fact that the way that I just what you just played here I hadn't heard Trump utter those words I'd heard he somebody say that he said them but to

hear him say that um about uh they can shoot through the media the Assassins uh go ahead and fire um and and all those other things you just played it's like they really believe that the the average normal normal American wants to hear that they actually believe that we don't like immigrants we are immigrants we are all the children and grandchildren and great grandchildren of immigrants unless you are African-American or unless you're amongst the first peoples that were here we are all the product of immigrants and we love our grandparents and our great grandparents and

the people that got us here to this great country and and to talk about immigrants in this vicious vile way where and you think of all the you know the things that we have and we've given the world you know and the anger and hatred toward Muslims and Arabs Steve Jobs I mean nobody this never gets discussed a little maybe I'm just a trivia nerd but he's he was he's a born of Muslim parents his parents are Arab and and they put him up for adoption they had to put him up for adoption and was

adopted by a wonderful the jobs family yeah but we wouldn't have I wouldn't be talking to you maybe on this device right now in this way without this offspring of a Muslim or an Arab and and and I think most Americans we get down on our knees and thank God that we are the children of immigrants that we are built this country with immigrants we and and and the fact that we have somewhere dep what numbers you want to believe in somewhere between 9 million and 11 million jobs right now that we do not have

enough people to fill we have we have upwards to 11 million unfilled jobs and we as we are told we have maybe 11 million immigrants who aren't here legally gez doesn't that just if you have a heart if you have loving you if you're proud of this country that was built by immigrants don't some doesn't somewhere your head go geez we need 11 million jobs filled we have 11 million people that need citizenship why don't we go there well I do and I think a lot of people are like me and I think that they

are going to be very surprised I'm talking about the Trump people yeah and the magga nation by what's going to happen on Tuesday now yeah not only do I feel to answer your question 10 minutes later that um uh I feel the same way that I felt a few weeks ago that Trump is toast absolutely I I felt I feel it more now I know I don't want to say it too loudly because our work isn't done right we all have doors to knock on tomorrow there we all have to make sure we get people

to vote I've asked everybody to think of three people that maybe they know at work or school or whatever that aren't going to vote uh to get them to the polls drive them to the polls take them to lunch afterwards have a party after work after every you've taken the office to go vote we have work to do in these 48 hours but having said that I am I'm very optimistic and hopeful and and frankly I know people watching this Mike how can you say that yeah you know we have all these crazy people and

all the trumpsters and magga nation and what I say to them is honestly I have a lot of personal deep faith in my fellow Americans yeah it's def they're the right thing it's a very important sentiment I think a lot of people are definitely counting on the goodness of Americans to see this through let me just talk about your stat Michigan for a moment and I want to talk about the last time you joined us back in July when Biden was still running um you had this to say about his support for the Israeli Prime

Minister Benjamin nany take a listen the fact that he would decide to hug Netanyahu to go there and tell him as the tape you just showed in November just people wanting a cease fire that's it no he goes no this has I think really rattled people in my state all right so that was back in July give me a sense of what you uh anticipate happening in Michigan on Tuesday well when Biden was running uh there in the early summer uh support for Biden Harris which was at 70% four years ago they got 70% of

the Michigan Arab Muslim vote was down to 12% because of Biden uh endorsing embracing and enabling uh the slaughter of tens of thousands of civilians I don't know anybody watching this with your Irish uh with with whatever group you're part of uh if if you were Jewish if you were I mean just pick the group and your tax dollars were going to kill the cousins the relatives the friends the neighbors of where you came from what do you think the people of Detroit and Dearborn are are going to do with that well the good news

is Biden stepped aside kamla Harris came in and that 12% support of Biden Harris jumped to over 43% that's good news but it's still uh uh quite a bit behind the 70% they had four years ago so we're estimating in Michigan possibly uh we need 40,000 votes of the 40,000 Arab and Muslim Americans who are they're not going to vote for Trump I mean he has he already had one-third of the vote he'll get onethird of it this time not not anymore for
