Michael Moore in TrumpLand Page #7

according to the

congressional budget office,

nearly 50,000

Americans die each year

for one simple reason.

They don't have health insurance

or they don't have

adequate health insurance.

In other words, not

because of the disease,

not because of the

germs in the hospital,

but because they didn't

have health insurance

they put off going

to the doctor,

or they had crappy

health insurance

and the doctor couldn't

send them to the specialist

that he wanted to send them to.

So they died.

They died only because

they were Americans.

If they lived across

the river from Detroit

in Windsor, Canada

they'd be alive.

But because they were

American, they died.

50,000 a year.

And I sat there and I started

doing the math of this.

Like, 20 years,

50,000 people dead.

Holy sh*t.

It's like a million people.

That's a million of our

fellow Americans dead

because they didn't

have health insurance.

If they'd been Canadian

or French or Scottish,

or Chilean,

or just about anywhere

else in the world,

they would have lived.

Every 9/11, we have somber

vigils and memorials

for the 3,000 Americans

who died in that attack,

as we should.

I still tear up over it.

One of my producers was

on the plane from Boston

that went in the North Tower.

We shed no tears for

the million Americans

who have died from

that act of terrorism.

One million dead Americans

because we refused to

listen to Hillary Clinton.

Who are we?

And what is terrorism?

We don't think for one second

about the one million

dead Americans killed

by a system run by greed.

Greed of the

insurance companies.

(audience applauds)

One million dead.

One million dead.

It's wrong, it's just wrong.

One million of our

fellow Americans.

Where are the tears for them?

Where are their names

on a marble wall?

I saw some of you standing.

I know why the response to that,

cause we all know

somebody, don't we?

We all have a family

member, a neighbor,

somebody we went to school

with, somebody at work,

somebody down the street,

somebody we heard about.

They put off going

to the doctor.

Or they went but they didn't

have enough health insurance.

And even with Obamacare

we still have almost

thirty million

with no health insurance.

These are our fellow Americans.

And yet Hillary was attacked,

she was humiliated.

You remember this,

when this happened?

People in Congress were

like "Get rid of her.

"She's not the President.

"Nobody elected you."

And it went down to defeat.

And it never got

brought up again did it,

until Obama started

bringing it up.

Never got brought up again.

And they forced her to

change into someone else.

She was told to shut up.

And she started baking the

cookies and hosting the teas.

I don't know,

something's wrong here.

In a way we have a chance

to redeem ourselves,

don't we, for this.

It's possible, I don't know.

You know when you've

got the Pope saying

that what you're doing is a sin,

that it's a sin not to help

someone when they're sick,

and not have them worry

about how much it cost them,

because in the Bible

it says, right?

I mean Jesus laid it out,

I know you're not here

for a religion lesson,

but if you believe in that,

he lays it out

pretty clearly right?

But this new Pope he gets it.

What's the deal with him?

Whoa,

right?

I mean, he was,

he's like, he's like, I

got a theory about him too

because he was in

Buenos Aires, right?

During the time of the Junta,

during the time of

the generals, right?

When all those people were

killed, he was the guy.

He was the guy for the

Catholic Church there,

what did he do?

What did he say?

I don't remember anything.

I remember on the day

he was elected pope,

I remember thinking,

"Oh, this is not good."

And then within a

month, he's like,

"Okay, atheists go to heaven."

Atheists go to heaven?

He said if he could

personally apologize

to every gay and lesbian,

for the harm caused to them

by the Catholic Church,

he would like to do that.

Wow.

(audience applauds)

Then he said

capitalism is a sin.

Whoa!

Oh!

When he said that I

thought, oh my God.

I, actually I don't know

if you remember this,

I volunteered publicly to be

his soup taste tester, you know?

Like they're gonna kill

this guy for sure now!

He said, "When you die,

your pets will be in heaven

"there to greet you."

Aww, aww!

No this guy, right?

How did he get the job?

He must have kept

quiet all those years.

But he's thinking,

he's planning.

He gets all these

other cardinals

to think he's some

conservative a**hole

from some South

American dictatorship.

Then they vote him in,

and they're like, "Whoa!"

They don't know what to do.

But he bided his time,

he bided his time.

And I've had this crazy

feeling lately, and I know,

I'm sorry to lay too much

optimism on you here tonight,

what if, what if Hillary

becomes our Pope Francis?

What if she has her

Pope Frank moment?

What if all this time, right?

This has been part

of her long game?

Like she's had this ambition

since she was a teenager.

When she was in college she

gave the graduation speech.

If you read her speech, it

reads like Bernie wrote it.

This is actually her

voice at the age of 22

giving her graduation speech.

Listen to this.

- [Hillary] The struggle

for an integrated life

existing in an atmosphere of

communal trust and respect

is one with

desperately important

political and

social consequences.

And the word

consequences, of course,

catapults us into the future.

One of the most tragic things

that happened yesterday,

a beautiful day, was that

I was talking to a woman

who said she wouldn't

want to be me

for anything in the world.

She wouldn't want to live today

and look ahead to what it is

she sees, because she's afraid.

Fear is always with us, but we

just don't have time for it.

Not now.

- Fear.

It's like the women of

Hillary's generation

were the first feminists

of the modern era.

They were raised by women.

Their mothers and grandmothers

had to go to work

during World War II

because the men were gone.

It was the first time

women were able to

leave the house and have a job.

And they worked in factories,

they worked in the office,

they ran the country.

They did all the work.

And then after the

war, the men came home

and they told the women

to go back to the kitchen,

and they did, most of them.

But they didn't,

they didn't leave or

forget what it was like

to have that freedom to

earn their own money.

The women of that

World War II generation

raised that next generation.

That's Hillary's generation.

There's women in here

tonight of that generation,

of my generation even.

You know what it

was like back then.

Younger people in here, I

gotta tell you something.

It was not pleasant

to stand up for what

you believed in.

It was not easy

to say, "I want it

to be this way."

The harassment

that they suffered,

the abuse that they
