Michael Moore in TrumpLand Page #3

Synopsis: Oscar-winner Michael Moore dives deep in the heart of hostile TrumpLand territory with his daring, profound, and uproarious one-man show. When the show gets banned from the first town they tried, Mike moves on to an even bigger community of Trump supporters in the ironically-named Clinton County, Ohio. Performed, shot, and edited just weeks before the 2016 election, this heartfelt, honest, and hilarious concert film is essential election viewing for a divided America. With a title like Michael Moore in TrumpLand, you may think you know what's in store, but the film is sure to surprise. Entertaining, outraging, and informing in equal measure, no matter who you're voting for, this movie has something for everybody.

and it was the Superbowl

this past year.

You know, it's

the halftime show,

Coldplay is playing one

of their nice songs,

Ooh, I love you,

I love, ooh, ooh

And then Bruno Mars came on,

and then that sort of

confused a lot of guys

watching the halftime show.

"Ooh, what is this?"

And then all of a sudden,

right in the middle

of Bruno's song,

out comes Beyonce and 500

women in these uniforms,

with their fists

clenched enraged,

and their sh*t-kicking

boots on, taking the field.

No, it was like, oh my,

wait that's our game,

what's she doing here?

(audience applauds)

That's where we're ending

up, and guys know it.

And that's why they're

at the Trump rallies.

That's why you hear that sound,

(mournful roaring)

"Donald, save us!"

"The women are coming!"

"The women are,"

"Hillary is Genghis Khan!"

"It's all over."

It doesn't feel good.

Eight years of a

black president.

Okay, we got through that.

Now it's gonna be eight

years of a woman president?

No, no, no!

No, because, no, because you

know what happens after that?

It's gonna be eight

years of the gays!

We'll have a gay president!

No!

And you know what comes

after that, the transgenders.

Eight years of a transgender

in the White House,

you're not gonna know

which bathroom to use!

(audience laughs)

What's left after that?

After they've taken everything

from us white straight guys?

Oh, the animal rights people.

PETA will take over

the White House.

A f***ing hamster is gonna

be running this country.

A little hamster in the

Oval Office on a wheel.

"Send in the next

congressman" (maniacal laugh)

And finally, mother nature.

There are now less

boy babies being born.

Mother nature has

looked at the situation,

has decided that men

are bad for the planet.

(audience laughs)

No woman has ever

built a smoke stack.

No woman has invented an

atomic or a hydrogen bomb.

And no women, no girls go into

schools and shoot them up.

Not a single one of

these school shootings

are girls, are they?

How can that be?

Think about that.

It's like, and it's not

just school shootings,

it's like women generally

don't shoot you.

(audience laughs)

Unless you deserve it.

(audience applauds)

I mean, usually,

when a woman shoots her

husband or her boyfriend,

some thought has gone into it.

(audience laughs)

That's actually true

with most crimes.

How many female

arsonists are there?

Or burglars?

Or rapists?

Or, I mean you go down

the whole list of crimes.

We're actually quite safe

from 51% of the population.

Right?

I mean it's like.

When you, when you

leave here tonight

and wander out onto the dark

streets of Wilmington, Ohio,

it's a rough town out there,

but you know, it's dark.

You're on a dark street, you're

just a little more aware.

What are you being aware of?

A woman gonna jump out of the

bushes and stab you to death?

Is a woman gonna mug you?

Whatever you're afraid

of, does not wear a dress.

(audience laughs)

Or a pantsuit.

(audience laughs and applauds)

Oh man, see but that's,

you must understand

the Trump voter.

These are legitimate

concerns, legitimate concerns.

And I think, you know,

we're laughing a lot

about this stuff,

and thank you Trump

voters for letting us

have a little bit of

laughter over this.

But I actually wrote

something today

while I was sitting here at

the official hotel of the,

of the Murphy Theater,

the Holiday Inn Express.

And ah...

Can I read this to

you, do you mind if I,

I just wrote this,

I just want to,

I want to read it to you.

Because I know a lot

of people in Michigan

that are planning

to vote for Trump.

And, um, they're not,

they don't necessarily

like him that much,

and they don't necessarily

agree with him.

They're not racist

and rednecks and,

they're actually

pretty decent people.

And so I wanted to sort of,

after talking to a number of

them, I wanted to sort of,

I wanted to write this and,

Donald Trump came to the

Detroit Economic Club,

and stood there in front of

the Ford Motor executives

and said, "If you

close these factories

"as you're planning

to do in Detroit,

"and build them in Mexico,

"I'm going to put a 35%

tariff on those cars

"when you send them back, and

nobody is going to buy them."

It was an amazing thing to see.

No politician,

Republican or Democrat,

had ever said anything like

that to these executives.

And it was music to the ears

of people in Michigan, and

Ohio, and Pennsylvania,

and Wisconsin,

the Brexit states.

(audience laughs quietly)

You live here in Ohio, you

know what I'm talking about.

Whether Trump means it or not

is kind of irrelevant,

because he's saying the things

to people who are hurting.

And it's why every

beaten down, nameless,

forgotten working stiff,

who used to be part of

what was called the

middle class, loves Trump.

He is the human Molotov cocktail

that they've been waiting for.

The human hand grenade

that they can legally throw

into the system that stole

their lives from them.

And on November

8th, Election Day,

although they've

lost their jobs,

although they've been

foreclosed on by the bank,

next came the divorce, and now

the wife and kids are gone,

the car's been repo'ed,

they haven't had a

real vacation in years,

they're stuck with the

shitty Obamacare bronze plan,

where you can't even

get a f***ing Percocet,

they've essentially lost

everything they had,

except one thing.

The one thing that

doesn't cost them a cent,

and is guaranteed to them by

the American Constitution,

the right to vote.

They might be penniless,

they might be homeless,

they might be f***ed

over and f***ed up.

It doesn't matter, because

it's equalized on that day.

A millionaire has the

same number of votes

as the person

without a job, one.

And there's more of

the former middle class

than there are in the

millionaire class.

So on November 8th,

the dispossessed will walk

into the voting booth,

be handed a ballot,

close the curtain,

and take that lever, or

felt pen, or touch screen,

and put a big

f***ing X in the box

by the name of the man who

has threatened to upend

and overturn the very system

that has ruined their lives,

Donald J. Trump.

They see that the elites who

ruined their lives hate Trump.

Corporate America hates Trump.

Wall Street hates Trump.

The career politicians

hate Trump.

The media hates Trump,

after they loved

him and created him,

and now hate him,

thank you media.

The enemy of my enemy is who

I'm voting for on November 8th.

Yes, on November

8th, you, Joe Blow,

Steve Blow, Bob

Blow, Billy Blow,

Billy Bob Blow, all the Blows,

get to go and blow up

the whole goddamn system,

because it's your right.

Trump's election is going

to be the biggest f*** you

ever recorded in human history.

And it will feel

good.

For a day.

Maybe a week.

Possibly a month.

And then, like the Brits,

who wanted to send a message

so they voted to leave Europe
