amy: that is michael moore on democracy now! on thursday. president trump then tweeted his response to the show saying -- "he made same prediction in 2016. nobody ever said michael was stupid!" but michael moore said more than that. this was the rest of his comment. >> the good news is, again, never forget, there's more of us than there are of them, the majority of the people agree with us, 70% of the voters next year are women, people of color, and young adults. all of that on our side. we have to make sure we don't give them another hillary clinton to vote for. amy: so that was michael moore speaking on democracy now! on thursday and getting that response from president trump. today, we play part two of our interview with michael moore, the oscar-winning filmmaker. his most recent documentary is "fahrenheit 11/9." his other films include "michael moore in trumpland," "fahrenheit 9/11," "bowling for columbine," "sicko," "capitalism: a love story," "where to invade next," and "roger & me." he has just launched a new project, a podcast called

michael moore has just launched a new project, a podcast called "rumble with michael moore." democracy now!'s s nermeen shaikh and i continued our interview with michael, we ask about trump's comments at a rally on impeachment night when trump spoke about mimichigan democrat debbie dingell. michael moore is from michigiga, and debbie diningell holds the seat formerly held by her husband john dingell, who died earlier this year and held the distinction as longest serving u.s. congressman. >> debbie dingell, that is a real beauty. so she calls me up like eight months ago. her husband was ill. long time. the beid not give him treatment, c or d. i gave the a-plus treatment. take down the flights. why you take them down? congressman dingell. oh, ok. do this. do that. rotunda come everything. that's ok. i don't want anything -- i don't need anything for anythingng. she calls me up. it is the nicest thing that is ever happen. thank you so much. john would be so thrilled. he is looking down, he would be so thrilled. thank you so much, sir. i said, that's ok, don't worry about it. may

joining me michael moore. he's got a new podcast called "rumble with michael moore."ou get to congress, what happens? >> i woke up and i thought wooer rr on the east coast. they got trains here. i'm from motor city. so it's really easy to get from here to d.c. let's just go. so my sister and producer and friend, we all got on the amtrak. we were there -- i don't know, two and a half hours. and we looked around seeing how we could get in. i've made these movies for many years. >> "roger and me" you did something like that. >> it was 30 years ago today that i did "roger and me". but then i thought it's really cold. i don't want to wait around -- >> but you're from michigan. >> it was brutally cold in d.c. on that day. i'm telling you. so i said what is the one office on capitol hill where i will be treated with respect that i deserve and of course we go to the office of the member of congress from flint, michigan. and so we walked in and we said can we get in? and he said i'm going over there now. i'll walk you in. so we sat in the part of the gallery that's for friends

ashley: michael moore says he's backing bernie sanders.e's the one the democrats should put their money ander behind to support. does bernie play that well across most of america with the socialist label with him? >> i think bernie plays well within the base of the democratic party, and san francisco and new york city. and that's as far as it goes. i think most of fly over territory are horrified that their 401ks being snatched for redistribution of wealth. ashley: who cops out from the democrat party to take on donald trump. what is your prediction. >> i think the party is radical enough and i think they think he got it stolen last time by hillary. maybe bernie. but i don't think he's selling it. ashley: niger? >> i don't want to pull the race car. but i think a dark horse like michelle obama or stacey abrams. ashley: gentlemen, thank you both. we appreciate your time. coming up. remember when elizabeth warren claimed she was part native american? >> the facts suggest you absolutely have native american ancestry in your pedigree. >> my fa

back with me michael moore. ael, that's interesting the point you were making earlier, republicans were not prepared to stand up and some republicans were saying this is enough, whether it's christianity today or jeff flake writing his editorial or these republicans forming a super pac to see that donald trump is not elected. there are some republicans somewhere who are saying this is not who we are and this is not what the future of the republican party needs to look like. >> well, they know they better do that or they'll be the new wigs. you know, parties have dissolved and disintegrated not a lot but in our history there's a couple of them that have come and gone. and the republican party is really at a point now of imploding, and it could go. the election and i'm not making any predictions, but the election less than a year from now could be so overwhelmingly -- overwhelmingly the american people coming to the poll and saying enough is enough and throwing so many republicans out in a way that you would only s

kennedy: let's talk about michael moore a little bit. he is absolutely right into thousand 16 he was one of the few people about president trump. they assume because they hated him so much there is no he's going to get elected. is michael moore just trying to scare people into being excited about voting against the president? or is he right? >> perhaps you'd like to be a liberal that is right. and he is. i am from cleveland ohio originally, the fact is the midwest, those people he is talking about, they have jobs, they have vacation homes, they are seeing industry building back, they have every reason to vote for him and vote for him in higher numbers. we'll california is about to lose a congressional seat because it has a net outmigration of historic residence. kennedy: that's true california's bleeding residents to places like texas. >> i know it's really being objected to in texas now. they say they don't want any more of our politics. kennedy: they really don't. we will have to see what happens. let's talk a little bit about other th

michael moore joins me next. you're watching "hardball." michael moore joins me next.rdball. >>> welcome back to "hardball." with just one month to go before the first ballots are cast in the 2020 democratic primaries the contest seems to be open than ever. in this cycle it seems the largest presidential field in modern times and the race is to win. confusion rather than clarity continues to be the story of the contest for the 2020 nomination. what continues to define the democratic race is the absence of a candidate that's truly captured the imagination of voters. writes that democratic voters appear torn between heart and head. many are looking for a candidate who will inspire them while also being somewhat risk averse. well, those conflicting impulses could be one reason the race seems to be shifting and shifting and the answer to the question of what and whom it will take to beat trump still lies at the center of oit all, but not all voters are torn. oscar winning filmmaker michael moore says we have a winning candidate in bernie sanders. i spoke to him about his e

so, michael moore is exactly right.n those states, donald trump has as everywhere else, he's is popular because he kept his promises. the other week i was at his hershey rally, holy cow, you know? i mean these people are -- they are hell bent on getting him reelected. they think he's been treated very unfairly. they think they have been treated very fairly. he's kept their promises. they are determined to re-elect him. it's a big dial. james carville and bill clinton he said the economy, stupid. here we go again with that. >> and you would think in that film, "roger and me" could be seen as a populist and understand it but refusing calling for support for the president, "rabid," and it really is seeing -- for the first time in two generations, what leadership will do, what a president who's more connected with us in the system can accomplish. isn't that what we're seeing at the grassroots level? >> well, tammy, you and i have been watching this since 2015 when we would debate people over and over again, many of whom now

michael moore thinks that joe biden is hillary light. as a moderate. i don't think he is particularly a moderate candidate. i think is he still very left-leaning you have to be in today's democratic party. but that's his view. and i think he is wrong. i think joe biden probably has the best chance of beating donald trump. i don't think he has much of a chance. the economy is too strong. donald trump has followed through on his promises. michael moore said, the key issue is that donald trump's supporters have stuck with him through thick and thin. and they have absolutely no intention of moving away from him no matter. what so, i think that's a tough road. rachel: michael moore called it last time as far as trump support. >> exactly. rachel: thanks a lot, liz. grape op-ed. catch it if you haven't read it and thanks a lot. >> thank you. rachel: coming up, hosting a party tonight? well, if you haven't started preparing, stick around, because chef george is here with some easy snacks that your guests will love. ♪ yeah, yeah ♪ another day of
