Michael Moore in TrumpLand Page #6

- I'm Donald Trump,

and I so approve this message.

(audience laughs and applauds)

- Effective.

I think he's gonna

do really well.

I want to tell you

a little story.

When I wrote my

first book in 1996,

it was called Downsize This

And there was a

chapter in there called

My Forbidden Love For Hillary.

And so you've

probably seen these

different photographs

behind me on the

stage here tonight.

I was just really upset with

the way she was being treated

when she was First Lady.

I mean she was being knocked

and criticized all the time,

she was being made fun of.

How she looked, how she dressed.

And, and also for

being the co-president.

Right?

Because, remember when

she said that they were,

she was being criticized

during the campaign

when Bill first

ran and she said,

"Look I'm not some little

lady gonna be in the kitchen

"baking cookies

and hosting teas."

Attacks on her started then,

and she was the butt of jokes

of late night comedians.

I remember there was one,

one joke was,

"Hey have you heard about

the new Hillary combo at KFC?

"It's got two large

thighs, two small breasts,

"and two left wings."

And I thought about it for

a minute, and I thought,

well, it sounds

pretty good to me.

(audience laughs)

No but I just,

I thought she was beautiful.

I thought she was smart.

I thought she was a nice person.

I didn't understand

what this was.

And so I wrote

this chapter called

My Forbidden Love For Hillary.

And I got invited to

a White House dinner.

And to give you some context

for this, the dinner took place

the night before Clinton's

impeachment, okay?

So what a night to

be there, right?

He didn't look good.

Um...

Do we have the picture

of me at the White house?

There I am, there I am.

Hey, I clean up okay, right?

(audience laughs)

You go through this reception

line before the dinner,

and you walk into the East Room,

and there's a Marine guard

there who announces you,

and so there's like 100

people going through the line.

So I'm standing there,

and you're told

"You get five seconds,

then you gotta keep moving.

"Shake their hands, say

something nice, move on."

And the marine goes, "Mr.

President and Madame First Lady,

"uh, Michael Moore?"

(audience laughs)

So I walked in there,

and Bill grabs my

hand, and he goes,

"Oh Michael Moore,

I just, I love you.

"I love your number one fan,

"I love, I love

your show TV Nation.

"I remember that

one episode you did,

"where you went to Idaho, and

you went to that Klan rally,

"oh that was just,"

And I'm thinking, "What?"

(audience laughs)

Like these Clintons

are good, man,

there's 100 people here

and he's got a story

for every one of them.

He's referencing

an obscure episode,

on a Friday night show on NBC,

of mine.

And he's like,

it's like he knows,

and he's accurately

describing the episode.

And I'm thinking, man.

"And I just I love Roger and Me,

"You're just, I'm

your number one fan."

And at that moment,

Hillary grabs my hand,

takes it out of his

hand, and says to him,

"No you're not, I'm

his number one fan."

And then she just,

(audience applauds)

And she goes, "I

just want to say,

"what you wrote about

me in your book.

"I'm just, it was so wonderful,

"and that first

line in the book."

And my face was

turning red, right?

And, 'cause the first

line in the chapter of

My Forbidden Love For Hillary,

where I have all

these photos of her,

the first line was,

"Hillary Clinton, she's one hot

sh*t-kicking feminist babe."

(audience laughs)

"I just, I love everything.

"And when you talked about me

on The Today Show, that just,"

And now at this point, I

had been there for too long.

Her aide is like stepping in,

because she thinks I'm

holding the line up,

but it's Hillary

that won't let me go.

And Hillary sees

the aide coming,

and she goes like

this, "Shoo, shoo."

And I said, "Well I just,

listen, I just think,

"I'm so sorry you're

going through all this

"with you know, but

you're a good person.

"And you seem like a good mom.

"And you should run for Senate."

(Michael laughs and

audience laughs)

And now, I could not, I

went through all the files

trying to find this picture

of her holding my hand,

but there is a picture

that was snapped

just as I walked away.

Okay, check this,

alright, look at

this, look at this.

That's right, that's the truth.

This is all true, look at that.

One of them is really happy,

and one of them is not.

(audience laughs)

And that's when she took me

up to the Lincoln Bedroom, um...

(audience laughs)

No, no, no, nothing

happened, nothing happened.

I'm just saying though, it was

a very special moment for me,

because I just felt

you know, she had been,

it was, her treatment

was just awful.

If you're young,

you don't know this.

If you weren't alive

then, you don't know it.

But people that were alive then,

you know what I'm saying, right?

I'm not making this up, I'm

not exaggerating it, am I?

You know, and the knock

on her was just awful.

Last year, I was shooting my, a

movie, "Where To Invade Next",

and we went to this

country, Estonia.

I wanted to go there

because I was trying to show

in different countries,

what they do better than us,

and what can we learn from them?

And so, I went to

Estonia because they are,

the World Health

Organization says

that you have the least

chance as a woman,

dying in childbirth in Estonia,

than in any other

country on the planet.

If you live in Cleveland,

you have a three times greater

chance of dying in childbirth

than you do in Estonia.

And so they took me

to the maternity ward,

and they had the head doctor

of the maternity ward,

and he's showing me around,

and he's telling me why

they're so good at this.

We're walking down this hallway,

and there's a

picture on the wall.

And I stopped him, and

I said, "Wait a minute.

"I know the person

in that photo."

That's me and the doctor

there in the hallway.

Can we just punch in a

little bit on this here.

It's Hillary Clinton,

shaking this guy's hand.

I said, "Where did this happen?"

He said, "It happened right

where you're standing."

I said "Oh my God,

who's the guy?"

"That is me, twenty years ago."

I said "Oh my God.

"Okay, so what was

she doing in Estonia?"

"Well, don't you remember?

"She wanted you to have

universal healthcare.

"So she was studying.

"She went around the

world to study it.

"And she came to little Estonia

"for the same reason

you're here tonight.

"To find out why so many more

women survive childbirth here

"than in the United States."

And I said, "Oh my God,

wow, she came here?"

"Yes, and then she went back,

"and you didn't listen to her.

"Instead, you humiliated

her, and attacked her.

"And you've gone

twenty years now

"without universal healthcare.

"And we've had it."

I said, "um, I made

this movie, Sicko."

and while making the

movie I learned that
