Very amateur interviewer. She kept on interrupting Michael all throughout. I really wanted to hear his answers but she kept cutting him off. Unprofessional!
There is a really beauty in this...that a lefty like Michael Moore could appear with Margaret Hoover on a conservative platform like Firing Line and have a civil conversation. Ms. Hoover puts him to task on the Electoral College and potential misrepresentation through editing in his documentaries (which, I agree with, as a lasting record, can distort the context of time). She nails it - “we’ll just have to agree to disagree.” No screaming. No name calling. No canceling. No threats. That they find out they’re related, that he learns more about how significant Herbert Hoover actually was, and that they laugh and shake hands at the end...that’s where we need to be as a country. This is why I love this program. Glad I could re-watch this one here on RUclips. Great job, as always, to Margaret Hoover and the Firing Line team.
Other countries don't have electoral colleges. They instead assign a certain region to an electoral riding. One region might have a population of say 100,000, the other 500,000. Yet there's a 1 seat up for grabs for each. This way rural communities that are spread out over large areas get fair representation (at least that's the idea). It's not perfect either, but you don't have some asshole making decisions for the voters, thereby going against their intentions. This is why the electoral college needs to be removed and replaced with electoral ridings.

@@jamesfrangione8448 - I live in Canada, and elections are cast according to local ridings. Even European countries usually do it that way. Our MPs (members of parliament) are essentially equal to your members of congress. So you might have 3 or 4 different people running for MP (from different parties) in one local riding. Whoever gets the most votes is elected MP for that riding. Whether there are 50k or 250k people living in that riding. The person running for Prime Minister actually has to be elected party leader by their political party. In addition, he/she must be elected as an MP in their riding, otherwise they cannot be Prime Minister. When you vote you are voting directly for an MP (either existing or from a new party). Whichever party gets the most MPs elected can form a government and their selected party leader (assuming he/she doesn't lose their local MP election) becomes Prime Minister. Another thing to point out is that government leaders in Canada and most other countries cannot assign people to a minister position (what you call a secretary) unless that person is also an elected MP. A person like Mnuchin could never become minister of finance unless he actually ran as a local politician and got elected as an MP in his own riding. In essence everybody in Trudeau's cabinet was elected by the people, not hired by the Prime Minister from outside.
Omg, this lady is so annoying! I can’t tell if she is interviewing him or just using this time to rant! She interrupts him every time, and then yells at him to answer the Q!

Samantha I couldn't agree with you more. I thought this PBS interview was going to be very good but it felt like a punch in the stomach. I also had to stop watching about 10 minutes in (shortly after the interviewer pouts). Michael Moore was patient with this annoying woman but that couldn't have been easy. I usually love listening to Michael Moore interviews that are more like flowing conversations full of clearly explained insights and frequently some humor. Thankfully there are many more MM interviews like those.
That's so strange I was thinking more the opposite. MM was strawmanning her pretty badly with that santa argument, she was 100% correct with her notion. I don't even know who that Heston guy was so how would I know that he was supposedly famous for saying what was shown in the doc.
The problem with the electoral college is that living in a state where there are fewer people makes your vote count more. Why should one guy in Wyoming or Delaware have his vote be worth more than 50 peoples vote in California or Texas? Then when Trump gets elected with 3 million less votes, those 3 million people were cheated because a few thousand in the low population states voted for the clown. 1 person, 1 vote, no matter where you live. Also DC should be a state, it has more people that Vermont and Wyoming.
Trump won California by 4 million votes, so that is a million more votes than she won the whole country by, which means without California Trump would have won the popular vote.
Eliminating the electoral college would force the candidates to go after the forgotten voters...the ones in East Los Angeles, South Chicago, Atlanta, and all of these other places that get ignored, because we already know who will win the state. We basically always know who will win California, Arizona, and Texas. Do you think that may have something to do with why nobody ever really addresses issues for Hispanics?

She has such pointless objections. What difference did it make if Charlton Heston said "from my cold dead hands" at that NRA meeting? It accurately represented what the man stood for.
LOL yeah sure if FACTS don't really matter to you. Everyone knows where he stood on the issue BUT he did NOT say those words at that NRA meeting in Colorado 10 days after the shootings as Moore implied. It's an overkill and it's funny. When George Bush puts out an ad about the convicted rapist Willie Horton which is factually true, he's accused of playing the "race card" by the Left but when Michael Moore makes a documentary and shades the truth a little, it's perfectly okay because you agree with his point of view??
Democrats didn't learn that many Obama voters who switched to Trump in 2016, weren't happy with the previous administration. Biden represents that administration!! In 2016, just as many people attended the Bernie rallies as the Trump rallies. And many Trump supporters also liked Bernie. Biden lacks life, luster, enthusiasm, originality and change.
They didn't learn there lesson and instead chose to obfuscate and blame everything under the sun without doing any self reflection because there paid by there rich donors not to learn there lesson we have no way to vote against corporate interests since most politicians (in both parties) are bought by corporate interests and the ones that aren't often cowtow to those that are.

Therefore, humans, wildlife and livestock are vulnerable to prion disease via plants grown on land treated with sewage sludge and reclaimed sewage water. "Prion" and Virus researcher "Dr. Joel Pedersen ", from the University of Wisconsin, found that prions become 680 times more infectious in certain soils. Pedersen also found that sewage treatment does not inactivate prions. Therefore, prions are lethal, mutating, migrating and multiplying everywhere sewage is dumped. “Our results suggest that if prions enter municipal wastewater treatment systems, most of the agent would bond to sewage sludge, survive anaerobic digestion, and be present in treated biosolids,” Pedersen said.

He traveled around the country speaking to audiences to promote the companies drug line. Being a good doctor, he also interjected what he knew through his own observations. He wondered why birds and turtles lived for many years longer than most humans. The conclusion was that they ate fruit, vegetables, nuts (seeds), and grains. When he started to speak about how eating healthier can, potentially, fend off the need for medicine - he was fired by this company. It was a real eye-opener for him as to the underhandedness of Big Pharma. They do not want doctors telling people how to avoid the need for drugs for as long as possible. Truth. =

If we had direct election, the candidates would try to get every vote. And because there are more votes in cities, they would campaign more in cities. Not just cities in Blue states, but also cities in Red states, like Kansas City, on the border of two safely red states, that never sees presidential candidates from either party. With Derect election, votes in Omaha, and Dallas, and Cheyenne and Fargo would be more important.
Please explain how it's a good idea that as a nation that is sliding headlong into fascism and (even worse) authoritarianism , that we the citizens should disarm? Seems like an awfully stupid idea. I'm keeping my powder dry, my head down and my.... well we know the rest.
People are hating just to hate, she’s actually very smart and stuns Michael with her questions. She was well prepared and I don’t think she agrees with him on something’s and that’s why these ducks are mad. I fully support Michael Moore by the way, love him and what he stands for, but she’s a good interviewer and asks questions no one does much like Mr.Moore
OMG i can't stand Margaret !.. she keeps interrupting him an not letting him finish what he has to say!.. its more like she is ranting about his previous statements .. its like she doesnt want to here the truth either
MH appeared out to get MM. The section with Charleston Heston a prime example. His most famous NRA quote is the dead hands bit and at the time the NRA played it up. Without trying I've seen it a half a dozen times at least. And MH had NEVER heard of it? Yeah. For CH and the NRA to go to Denver barely ten days after the shooting was (and is) appalling.
She's pretty slick, but Michael Moore knows of what he speaks and he speaks truth to "beauty". I got a kick out of them being related through Herbert Hoover and would like to be a fly on the wall at the Hoover family Thanksgiving. I think Michael handled that "interview" really well and got a lot of points across.
The interviewer is so biased, having made up her mind about the interviewee, cutting him off, turning questions into rants, and clearly seems to have her own agenda, that I quit pretty early on.; don't know how Michael could stand it without, at least, screaming. Not surprising though, she being the great grand daughter of our 31st, Herbert "The Great Depression" Hoover.
Why is the interviewer always interjecting? Let him speak and then you can correct him/ask him accordingly. No reason to interrupt someone. It's a bit annoying, I have to say.
I've seen many of his films and like how he speaks truth to power and educates with humor. The 'electoral college' is undemocratic. The national popular vote should elect the president not a few thousand people in a couple states.
Well she does bleed out of her...where ever, her voice, ug, her voice is so shrill, nothing she could say or do is as fine as a man's fart or belch. We all know that. Funny how straight guys really despise women. Well guess what dude, the feeling is mutual
@@virginiaoflaherty2983 are you assuming I'm straight? I mean, my favorite writers include Joan Didion, Camille Paglia, Virginia Wolff.... Nina Simone is my musical hero. This particular woman just doesn't seem like the ideal host of Firing Line in my opinion.
Even though Margaret Hoover is a Conservative and Micheal Moore is a Progressive, that was a great and respectful conversation. Why can't most other conversations be like that?
I honestly thought when watching Bowling for Columbine, 20 years ago that Heston had said the from my cold, dead hands, less than two weeks after the Columbine massacre and I remember finding it such an insensitive, callous and crude comment to make in a state where a few days earlier so many young kids had been killed or maimed. Now I find out he did NOT say it. This is where quotes must be connected to the specific date and time they were said. Not weeks before or months after, and inserted into a clip. While I like Mr. Moore's work I must confess it troubled me when a few years ago when he was going through a divorce we learned he was worth millions and owned a mansion and other homes, which is not blue collar, common man.
It is not fair that she has all her tapes of MM ready and waiting for him. He does not get the same freedom. He did not get to bring tapes of himself or Charlton Heston's many quotes. It is all her opinion backed up with good quotes and MM's opinion based on his words. This was an unfair fight.
Get rid of the electoral system. The Constitution says We the People. Look at Kentucky still willing to vote for Mitch McConnell. What is Kentucky people on anyway? They don't have insurance, don't make a halfway decent wages, but Mitch McConnell is doing real good with money.
She eventually admits she is from a Republican family with a name like HOOVER, not surprising. As mark Twain once said, "you can fool a person but you can't convince a person they have been fooled" She was right to fire questions to challenge Moore but her stance on electoral colleges a republican stance over the popular vote ,highlights this. As well, she was splitting hairs over "over my cold said hands..." and Moore won't convince her she has been fooled in both cases
Sorry but Michael vs Margaret is like a science guy vs flat-earthers. No matter what he says, they'll just keep repeating the earth is as flat as a frying pan, it just depends of the point of view.
Wow this was fun I subscribed but I think that Michael Moore and Jimmy Dore do not have a global historical perspective of America we are a great power and that must be factored into the equation
I am here to hear what Michael Moore has to say -- not her personal opinions and arguments. so stop interrupting him and shoving her words into his mouth.
Capitalism screwed them for 30 years so they though voting for an egotistic Capitalist would make they lives better they were conned and stupid in an obvious way. I blame shit media.
She's focusing in small details not on the deep content of his documentaries she's just attacking Moore on every angle she's nost showcasing the real message of his documentaries
You are missleading!! What difference does it makes is it 10 days, or 6 months or a year?? He is just trying to emphasize the fact that all this kids and people die in this craziness of gun violence! Hope you don't feel the pain these families had to endure, but I bet you would be singing to the different tune then woman!
I admire Michael Moore, but I disagree with his stand on eliminating the Electoral College. Whatever the intentions were for the establishment of the Electoral College, it does serve the function of slightly mitigating a tyranny of the majority. The Founders were very eager to prevent too much concentration of power in any branch of government; thus they created 3 branches (i.e. the judiciary, the bicameral legislature, and the executive) as well as an elaborate system of checks and balances. Democracy was not uppermost in their minds. In fact, many of them (with good reason) feared democracy. Obviously, our system of government has evolved remarkably since 1787. We can improve on the electoral college by pro-rating the number of electoral college votes a candidate gets (as occurs in Maine and Nebraska). This would have to occur at the state rather than the federal level. We can also outlaw faithless electors. In any case, it is important to recognize that the Founders conceived of the nation as a Federal Union. Even in the 1820's, people, both north and south, regarded the union as a confederation rather than as a fully consolidated nation. Obviously, this all changed after the Civil War.
@@babyloans It helped by making the country realize that huge parts of the heartland have become de-industrialized by globalization. At the least, we should have empathy for these people. I have no answers to the problems these people are facing. I also have no answers to climate change. Obviously, Trump is a bad guy and should not be re-elected. I'm 76 years old and feel like an obsolete dinosaur. I've managed to scrape by in life due to a number of lucky events. The important thing is to honor the law and the Constitution and to avoid extremism. I abhor violence.
Joan Blond it has also allowed the executive branch (which wasn’t chosen by the people) to take control over a stable country. They’ve managed to maintain the senate hostage and now most likely be able to fill the late Justice RBG’s position. So if nothing changes drastically on November 3rd all three branches might be controlled (taken over) by “republicans”. That doesn’t include the large amount of judges that have been confirmed by the senate in the last 3 1/2 years. The electoral college is responsible for the mess we’re in. I am in favor of getting rid of it or making it less influenced by $$$$$. I’m not a fan of Hillary but I’m sure it would’ve been a little less chaotic right now. I’m afraid that we are facing a 2016 repeat and we will have to suffer a lifetime of Trump. If he takes the 2020 (I didn’t say win) it’ll definitely look like his kids will inherit the kingdom once call United States of America 🇺🇸. I definitely hope I’m wrong and on November 4th we can say Trump will not be the president in 2021.
Wow., Well the interviewer certainly has a point: The portrayal of Charlton Heston is infinitely more important than school children's safety from gun violence.

"But why Bernie and not Warren?" Because Sanders is consistent on policy. "But why Bernie and not Warren?" Because Warren was a Republican, and supported reactionary policies. "But why Bernie and not Warren?" Because Sanders policies are more progressive.

Interviewer shrieking and interrupting guest
The interviewer is definitely not the person for the job. She needs to shut up and let him finish! Won’t watch her show again.
Absolutely agree with this. She really interferes with Michael Moore’s ability to answer her questions.
The show will not miss you.
I thought she was very patient with this idiot, I just can't believe she let him on the show.
She is a poor interviewer. PBS should put her in a debate club.
You took the words right out of my mouth, Michael Moore.
This was before the pandemic, but I still think Moore is right about outcome of elections !
She has such pointless objections. What difference did it make if Charlton Heston said "from my cold dead hands" at that NRA meeting? It accurately represented what the man stood for.
LOL yeah sure if FACTS don't really matter to you. Everyone knows where he stood on the issue BUT he did NOT say those words at that NRA meeting in Colorado 10 days after the shootings as Moore implied. It's an overkill and it's funny. When George Bush puts out an ad about the convicted rapist Willie Horton which is factually true, he's accused of playing the "race card" by the Left but when Michael Moore makes a documentary and shades the truth a little, it's perfectly okay because you agree with his point of view??
This was uploaded on Sep 2, 2020 but it seems to have taken place in early 2020. That should have been made explicit in the title. Thumbs down.
I enjoyed this. It's a debate style rather than a simple interview.
When I first saw Bowling for Columbine, I remember thinking Heston said that only 10 days later. It most certainly left me that impression.
Democrats didn't learn that many Obama voters who switched to Trump in 2016, weren't happy with the previous administration. Biden represents that administration!! In 2016, just as many people attended the Bernie rallies as the Trump rallies. And many Trump supporters also liked Bernie. Biden lacks life, luster, enthusiasm, originality and change.
They didn't learn there lesson and instead chose to obfuscate and blame everything under the sun without doing any self reflection because there paid by there rich donors not to learn there lesson we have no way to vote against corporate interests since most politicians (in both parties) are bought by corporate interests and the ones that aren't often cowtow to those that are.
This lady has to take Creative Writing 101. Doesn't know the abc of script writing or anything related to art. Shame on the person who allowed her to interview and question the skills of one of the best American documentary makers ever.

Google ---- >""PRIONS and Alzheimer's disease"
The " sewage sludge " and wastewater released into the farms and agriculture land are spreading brain disease far and wide every day.
DR . Claudio Soto, PhD, professor of neurology at the "University of Texas" Medical School in Houston, and his colleagues confirmed the presence of prions in urine.
Soto also confirmed that plants uptake prions and are infectious and deadly to those who consume the infected plants. Therefore, humans, wildlife and livestock are vulnerable to prion disease via plants grown on land treated with sewage sludge and reclaimed sewage water.
"Prion" and Virus researcher "Dr. Joel Pedersen ", from the University of Wisconsin, found that prions become 680 times more infectious in certain soils. Pedersen also found that sewage treatment does not inactivate prions. Therefore, prions are lethal, mutating, migrating and multiplying everywhere sewage is dumped.
“Our results suggest that if prions enter municipal wastewater treatment systems, most of the agent would bond to sewage sludge, survive anaerobic digestion, and be present in treated biosolids,” Pedersen said.

-My Dad was a physician. After a long, successful career, he decided to semi-retire and took a 6 figure job with Big Pharma company (I hesitate to mention the name).
He traveled around the country speaking to audiences to promote the companies drug line. Being a good doctor, he also interjected what he knew through his own observations. He wondered why birds and turtles lived for many years longer than most humans.
The conclusion was that they ate fruit, vegetables, nuts (seeds), and grains. When he started to speak about how eating healthier can, potentially, fend off the need for medicine - he was fired by this company. It was a real eye-opener for him as to the underhandedness of Big Pharma. They do not want doctors telling people how to avoid the need for drugs for as long as possible. Truth.

Great interview!
Absolutely right. Women would be better for National leaders. Time to realize this.
@ Please, don't... Women have an innate need to protect their offspring and this characteristic is not present in men. There are of course various degreed and variations of this. Better consult with Richard Dawkins about this.
What a pity that MH asks a question and does not listen to the answer, repeatedly interrupting.
That’s a conservative hallmark.
She is not interrupting lol
Why post this now? It's old news
Wish they let his response to Heston play out. He made a Police Academy/Transformers joke, then they edited out the rest of his answer.
The interviewer is awesome! 😁
If we had direct election, the candidates would try to get every vote. And because there are more votes in cities, they would campaign more in cities. Not just cities in Blue states, but also cities in Red states, like Kansas City, on the border of two safely red states, that never sees presidential candidates from either party. With Derect election, votes in Omaha, and Dallas, and Cheyenne and Fargo would be more important.
To hire Trump again for the train wreck of a job he has done is insane.
It may be insane but go ahead and say that to his supporters 😏! Oh and don't forget to wear your bulletproof vest!
Please explain how it's a good idea that as a nation that is sliding headlong into fascism and (even worse) authoritarianism , that we the citizens should disarm?
Seems like an awfully stupid idea.
I'm keeping my powder dry, my head down and my.... well we know the rest.
Many have said this here and y’all are right, she’s a lousy reviewer.
People are hating just to hate, she’s actually very smart and stuns Michael with her questions. She was well prepared and I don’t think she agrees with him on something’s and that’s why these ducks are mad. I fully support Michael Moore by the way, love him and what he stands for, but she’s a good interviewer and asks questions no one does much like Mr.Moore
Misleading dating!!! This interview is not recent ! Published recently. Tell us when it was recorded?!
I love female journalists so rough and tough and willing to be confrontational with people already on their side.
Oh and I'm from Belfast Ireland 🇮🇪 and it's all new to me
OMG i can't stand Margaret !.. she keeps interrupting him an not letting him finish what he has to say!.. its more like she is ranting about his previous statements .. its like she doesnt want to here the truth either
MH appeared out to get MM. The section with Charleston Heston a prime example. His most famous NRA quote is the dead hands bit and at the time the NRA played it up. Without trying I've seen it a half a dozen times at least. And MH had NEVER heard of it? Yeah. For CH and the NRA to go to Denver barely ten days after the shooting was (and is) appalling.
She's pretty slick, but Michael Moore knows of what he speaks and he speaks truth to "beauty". I got a kick out of them being related through Herbert Hoover and would like to be a fly on the wall at the Hoover family Thanksgiving. I think Michael handled that "interview" really well and got a lot of points across.
He's a great guy. Check out his podcast Rumble on RUclips! Good stuff
The interviewer is so biased, having made up her mind about the interviewee, cutting him off, turning questions into rants, and clearly seems to have her own agenda, that I quit pretty early on.; don't know how Michael could stand it without, at least, screaming. Not surprising though, she being the great grand daughter of our 31st, Herbert "The Great Depression" Hoover.
Another zombie republican elitist.
What a terrible interviewer. I hate pushy, biased interrupting conservatives. PBS is usually better. Michael Moore is a force of nature. Truth teller.
How did this FOX News presenter get onto PBS?
We are blessed to have a man like Michel Moore. He is the The voice of many. And yes this reporter is annoying.
Why is the interviewer always interjecting? Let him speak and then you can correct him/ask him accordingly. No reason to interrupt someone. It's a bit annoying, I have to say.
Who's this woman working for? You're disgracing journalism when you act like a personal representative.
I've seen many of his films and like how he speaks truth to power and educates with humor. The 'electoral college' is undemocratic. The national popular vote should elect the president not a few thousand people in a couple states.
An interview without scripted softball questions.
She doesn’t hold a candle to William f. Buckley when it comes to debating and erudition.
Well she does bleed out of her...where ever, her voice, ug, her voice is so shrill, nothing she could say or do is as fine as a man's fart or belch. We all know that. Funny how straight guys really despise women. Well guess what dude, the feeling is mutual
@@virginiaoflaherty2983 are you assuming I'm straight? I mean, my favorite writers include Joan Didion, Camille Paglia, Virginia Wolff.... Nina Simone is my musical hero. This particular woman just doesn't seem like the ideal host of Firing Line in my opinion.
Even though Margaret Hoover is a Conservative and Micheal Moore is a Progressive, that was a great and respectful conversation. Why can't most other conversations be like that?
i'm not American but from my observations, it is the nature of US politics
I honestly thought when watching Bowling for Columbine, 20 years ago that Heston had said the from my cold, dead hands, less than two weeks after the Columbine massacre and I remember finding it such an insensitive, callous and crude comment to make in a state where a few days earlier so many young kids had been killed or maimed.
Now I find out he did NOT say it. This is where quotes must be connected to the specific date and time they were said. Not weeks before or months after, and inserted into a clip.
While I like Mr. Moore's work I must confess it troubled me when a few years ago when he was going through a divorce we learned he was worth millions and owned a mansion and other homes, which is not blue collar, common man.
It is not fair that she has all her tapes of MM ready and waiting for him. He does not get the same freedom. He did not get to bring tapes of himself or Charlton Heston's many quotes. It is all her opinion backed up with good quotes and MM's opinion based on his words. This was an unfair fight.
1 person 1 vote. We don’t have that here. Stop calling it a democracy
Having women in charge makes things a little bit better and nicer. What a fatuous thing to say. Margaret thatcher???
Professor Lichtman says Trump loses
Interviewer Power! I … I think i love her.
Ofcourse they edit it so we see how they are.
Get rid of the electoral system. The Constitution says We the People. Look at Kentucky still willing to vote for Mitch McConnell. What is Kentucky people on anyway? They don't have insurance, don't make a halfway decent wages, but Mitch McConnell is doing real good with money.
She eventually admits she is from a Republican family with a name like HOOVER, not surprising. As mark Twain once said, "you can fool a person but you can't convince a person they have been fooled" She was right to fire questions to challenge Moore but her stance on electoral colleges a republican stance over the popular vote ,highlights this. As well, she was splitting hairs over "over my cold said hands..." and Moore won't convince her she has been fooled in both cases
Sorry but Michael vs Margaret is like a science guy vs flat-earthers. No matter what he says, they'll just keep repeating the earth is as flat as a frying pan, it just depends of the point of view.
This interviewer's pauses are really strange too.
terrible interview, and what is she wearing!
Marc Scialom looks like a patch quilt
Tent?
Didn't tune in to hear her argue with Michael.
Khomeini???? What year is she in? And Moore didn't correct her!
I am not anti moore but this explains some of the inconsistencies of the film.
Wow this was fun I subscribed but I think that Michael Moore and Jimmy Dore do not have a global historical perspective of America we are a great power and that must be factored into the equation
I have never voted for a president because Of the electoral college. I get to vote for person to who votes for me.
This woman is incompetent.
Funny watching him squirm trying to explain the Charles Heston editing bit...
I am here to hear what Michael Moore has to say -- not her personal opinions and arguments. so stop interrupting him and shoving her words into his mouth.
Capitalism screwed them for 30 years so they though voting for an egotistic Capitalist would make they lives better they were conned and stupid in an obvious way. I blame shit media.
Margret Hoover is awful!
I'm also related to them! Herbert Hoover is my 4th cousin and Margaret my 7th cousin
Patterson will pay !!!
She's focusing in small details not on the deep content of his documentaries she's just attacking Moore on every angle she's nost showcasing the real message of his documentaries
You are missleading!! What difference does it makes is it 10 days, or 6 months or a year?? He is just trying to emphasize the fact that all this kids and people die in this craziness of gun violence! Hope you don't feel the pain these families had to endure, but I bet you would be singing to the different tune then woman!
The dnc should have pushed FOR Bernie and Warren that’s what we need the working class are suffering and the rich dnc don’t care
Charton Heston. Your terms are acceptable.
The interviewer is biased and rude.
They call that play devil's advocate for a reason.
Like they are opened interviews on CNN, MSNBC or even at the White House press.....shit cuts both ways....
I admire Michael Moore, but I disagree with his stand on eliminating the Electoral College. Whatever the intentions were for the establishment of the Electoral College, it does serve the function of slightly mitigating a tyranny of the majority. The Founders were very eager to prevent too much concentration of power in any branch of government; thus they created 3 branches (i.e. the judiciary, the bicameral legislature, and the executive) as well as an elaborate system of checks and balances. Democracy was not uppermost in their minds. In fact, many of them (with good reason) feared democracy. Obviously, our system of government has evolved remarkably since 1787. We can improve on the electoral college by pro-rating the number of electoral college votes a candidate gets (as occurs in Maine and Nebraska). This would have to occur at the state rather than the federal level. We can also outlaw faithless electors. In any case, it is important to recognize that the Founders conceived of the nation as a Federal Union. Even in the 1820's, people, both north and south, regarded the union as a confederation rather than as a fully consolidated nation. Obviously, this all changed after the Civil War.
Joan Blond how did the electoral college vote helped in 2016?
@@babyloans It helped by making the country realize that huge parts of the heartland have become de-industrialized by globalization. At the least, we should have empathy for these people. I have no answers to the problems these people are facing. I also have no answers to climate change. Obviously, Trump is a bad guy and should not be re-elected. I'm 76 years old and feel like an obsolete dinosaur. I've managed to scrape by in life due to a number of lucky events. The important thing is to honor the law and the Constitution and to avoid extremism. I abhor violence.
Joan Blond it has also allowed the executive branch (which wasn’t chosen by the people) to take control over a stable country. They’ve managed to maintain the senate hostage and now most likely be able to fill the late Justice RBG’s position. So if nothing changes drastically on November 3rd all three branches might be controlled (taken over) by “republicans”. That doesn’t include the large amount of judges that have been confirmed by the senate in the last 3 1/2 years. The electoral college is responsible for the mess we’re in. I am in favor of getting rid of it or making it less influenced by $$$$$. I’m not a fan of Hillary but I’m sure it would’ve been a little less chaotic right now. I’m afraid that we are facing a 2016 repeat and we will have to suffer a lifetime of Trump. If he takes the 2020 (I didn’t say win) it’ll definitely look like his kids will inherit the kingdom once call United States of America 🇺🇸. I definitely hope I’m wrong and on November 4th we can say Trump will not be the president in 2021.
@@babyloans I sympathize with your feelings. Let's hope that Biden wins.

Wow., Well the interviewer certainly has a point: The portrayal of Charlton Heston is infinitely more important than school children's safety from gun violence.
