  • He means well but he doesn't address the critical issues. We don't need socialism necessarily. 

  • What's with all the comments about Micheal Moore's appearance? As if that really matters. Stop judging his looks, it's what he's saying is what is important. Don't like it? Well, come up with some constructive crticism but quit trolling around

  • @ThePeterKrpan fuck crony capitalism, not capitalism. silly.

  • who the fuck is the 99% ? what hippie created this shit

  • Stop WASTING TIME!! Spread this NOW!! Boycott gas for a week or however long it takes to drive the prices down. Get EVERYONE to move their money from big banks to credit unions and start moving to alternative local currencies. Stop buying ALL products made over seas. Obama is pushing for Pacific Rim jobs now...you want more slave wage jobs in Vietnam instead of living wage jobs here? Invest locally and divert all tax revenue into our economy directly. are you occupied dot com

  • Michael Moore is a true American hero, telling it exactly as it is today. That's why the criminals in power hate him so much. He is damaging them immensely, just as they should be. He is saying the truths that the criminal 1% owned greedy lazy rich guys don't want you to see.

    Don't believe Fox "News", or even the rest of the corrupt corporate media on the Occupy movement. And don't believe all the trolls and shills who want to keep the criminals in power. THE OCCUPY MOVEMENT IS SUCCEEDING!

  • @SisterMaryVenard You're fucking retarded, you're just brainwashed by MSNBC and shit like that because the left wing pretty much owns the media. Michael Moore is a fat ass piece of shit who doesn't know shit and has contributed absolutely nothing to our country. Just go kill yourself you freeloading shitbag. Quit wasting space.

  • @SisterMaryVenard I agree

  • A human that looks like a talking cow. No big deal!

  • the only reason you do well is because POOR people go see your movies. YOU FEED OFF OF THE POOR. SHOW US YOUR FINANCIAL PORTFOLIO FAT ASS! WHERE DO YOU SPREAD THE WEALTH YOU FAT CAT PIG? WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO GIVE YOUR MILLIONS TO THE POOR? WHAT ABOUT EARNING MILLIONS OF DOLLARS LIKE YOU DO PIG? YOU ATE THE WHOLE PIE FAT ASS. DON'T SPEAK FOR MY RELIGION, YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT IT YOU GLUTTON. HELP THEM MILLIONAIRE DONT TALK!

  • what a fat fuckin pig.

  • Comment removed

  • If he is for the protest why doesn't he just show up and march or show up and camp out instead of going back to his limo, and back to his 2m house. You guys are being duped by an idiot

  • Does anyone know what literature I can find these facts that Moore is giving:

    When he said "dividing up mortgages a thousand times over and selling it to China-- what does he mean by that?

    46 million living in poverty

    50 million with no health insurance

    Thanks in advance for your help!

  • Please don't focus all of the attention on Wall Street, corporations, & banks~ truth is they are all puppets and the Federal Reserve pulls their strings! It is amazing at how many people don't know about the Fed Reserve and how many are convinced that the Government runs and owns the Fed Reserve, they don't! You can audit the Fed but what will that do? They need to end the Fed....Obama does not run this country, Ben Bernake does! End the Fed, end the problem! Nuff said!

  • This guy is a idiot I am so happy that the Occupy Wall St no longer has tents, sleeping bags lets see if they are chicken and run away from rain

  • Michael Moore is one of the ugliest guys in the world.

  • self seviving muther fuckers thats why 99 percent isnt working.

  • Go MIchael !! Get the word out........you are a great guy !!!

  • Wow...So many opinions. How can the world stabilize itself with so much finger pointing. If WE all take responsibility for our lives period and stop looking for answers in other people and waitin for other people to make life better for us, we will keep missing the mark. Life is about love and compassion and can only be solved thru that. If companies loved and saw purpose in what they sold, then harmony we would have. If we loved ourselves to follow our inside callings we could change the world

  • Can you step away from your view and look at the big picture. Greed is Greed. The fact that there are borders is GREED! Instead of trying to prove something why don't you think about what i'm saying . To be proven wrong is to have gained most from a conversation.- Socrates

  • well, im reading comments, and alot of people say he hates capitalism, when in fact what hes saying, he doesn't agree with what it's become. Rather than become successful and share the wealth it's become "it's all mine, ill make money of your missery and others suffering."

  • MOORE: I DO REALLY WELL

    Ha, but rather good interview, most interviewers so far seem to just be browbeating interviewees supporting Occupy, but this is the first time I've actually seen Moore not forced into defensiveness during a talk like this.

  • Will Michael Moore be doing his next film about illegal immigration? Moore is a champion for the common American. Illegal aliens are destroying our country and hoping Moore will do an outstanding film about illegal immigration in the US.

  • @skirm123 careful, strong evidence suggests the there will be mass migrations in the future, it could be us trying to get into mexico, they still have topsoil. If you were impoverished an you kids were starving you would do the same.3rd world citizens are owned by the world banks and they make barely $1 a day they arent even allowed to farm their own land for food.

  • @mobydickhead1 We already did that. Its how we ended up with the Southwest states. Thats also the reason we cannot let the US turn into a 3rd world by allowing these illegal invaders into our country.

    Americans lives have to turn to crap because people on the other side of the fence cant afford to buy Ipods, Flat screen tv's and new 4x4 trucks? Yeah right! There not starving. Their all fat when they come here.

    More is right. Americans first!

  • what kind of camera lense are these using on moore to make him look way less fat.

  • All the major religions protect the rich and make all their money evangelizing and genociding the poor who they say will always be with us. I have always liked this guy but he is dodging because of his wealth like a smoker talking about car pollution.

  • Michael is wrong. A it is not only about good ideas and moving money around, It is about making money off of lies and manipulation of poisons and toxins and war mongering and the people who have gotten rewarded for those things too. And there are many people who do not agree that the inventor gets more or the good idea gets more. Many of us believe in equity. Equal rights. Equal shares in both the production and accountability for our planet.

  • Geezus Krist whats wrong with his stomach? And by the way his gizzard is almost to full term. Just sayn...

  • Michael Moore: "My high school diploma is every bit like a graduate degree in economics."

  • big fat hypocrot and lier.

  • @khosrow liar*

  • Occupy Wall Street" organizers (11-01-11) have filed paperwork to "trademark" the name "Occupy Wall Street" in order to profit from future earnings (name recognition). In other words, the anti-capitolists want to capitolize off of being anti-capitolists. Perhaps the trademark move was to protect the name from being used by others.....but then that dosn't explain why the organizers (Sobel & Dutton) have secured a major merchandising company in Arazona. Ironic isn't it?

  • The streets of SanFrancisco look like the third world, only the food is not as good.

    The middle class penpushers should understand that bureaucracy in Europe will not only cause you to lose pensions etc, but will spread to banking systems around the world. If you don't get city hall and Washington off your backs you will find, as they have in Europe, that there is no point in starting a business even if you could find customers.

  • Wow, he really has no clue what the fuck he's talking about.

  • The anti-corporate Moore set up a private foundation after his first major film, "Roger & Me," started making serious money.

    In 1999, "the year Moore claimed in 'Stupid White Men' that he didn't own any stock, he reported to the IRS that his foundation had more than $280,000 in corporate stock and close to $100,000 in corporate bonds." His investments include Halliburton, among others.

  • michael moore being a msu fan shames me

  • America is the land of opportunity. You have to make your own.

  • since you don't like capitalism so much, I'm gonna make pirate copies of your movies and give them away for free.

  • @TheRichieRiot Moore is such a douche bag. he would be crying like a school girl if someone gave out his movies for free. I wonder how much he has invested in Wall Street.

  • @TheRichieRiot That's fine bro. He wants you to do that. He said you could. The guy is a legend. Takes guts to serve the nation's interests at your own personal expense. Say he's the 1%, and he's fighting for the 99%... that takes guts.

  • Then again I've believed in the resource based economy for a long time and taking people out of manual labor and wage slave living for a long time. Money is the real culprit in all the major economic philosphies and why they all fail. Your right people should have access to free knowledge food education water and housing.

    Machines to free humanity.

  • 0:31 That's called capitalism.

    So is Michael Moore one of the leaders of Occupy Wall Street? Why don't they set basic rules like the tea partiers do? You know, No fighting, no littering, no violence, peaceful and never let a single thing be said about us being disruptive and breaking the law. The link I found these. answers.yahoo.com/question/ind­ex?qid=20111002173611AAYGd60 If someone can find a better list please let me know. Thank you.

  • What a Twinky.. and a goofy one at that..!

  • yeah you do well because poor people buy tickets to your movies. you dont hire actors, or editors or anybody. you pocket the millions you have taken from the poor YOU FAT ASS CAPITALIST LIAR. YOU'RE TRYING TO POCKET A COUPLE MORE MILLION HUH MOORE? YOU ONLY SHOWED UP TO PROTEST WHEN PUBLISHED YOUR VERY LAME NEW BOOK. RIGHT MICHAEL MOORE FAT ASS? YOU ARE FILTHY RICH YOU FAKE FALSE IDOL.

  • what do you know about religion? you look like you ate the whole fucking pie moore. WHY DONT YOU GIVE THEM SOME OF YOUR CASH MOORE. YOU'RE A BIG MOUTH INVESTED IN STOCK MARKET AND CORPORATIONS. SHOW US YOUR PORTOFOLIO MICHAEL MOORE. WITH THE FOOD YOU EAT YOU COULD FEED SEVERAL STARVING PEOPLE. ALL OF YOUR MONEY WAS MADE OF THE POOR. THE RICH DONT WATCH YOUR SILLY LITTLE MOVIES YOU MAKE WITHOUT PAYING ANYBODY A DAMN THING. RIGHT MICHAEL? YOU ARE THE 1% NOW GO EAT THAT LAST SLICE FAT PIG

  • This guy... wow the top income earners (2%) pay over 40% of the income tax. Ok so how is that fair? What is fair is every body paying the same tax rate no matter the income. Unless you are below the proverty level. 47% of americans don't even pay any income tax! How is that fair???!!!

  • @MisterSunson Sir, yours will be flagged down pretty soon too!

  • "IT'S OK BECAUSE IT'S CAPITALISM WHICH IS THE OPPOSITE OF COMMUNISM AND WE DON'T OPERATE UNDER COMMUNISM AND TEACHER IN 6TH GRADE SAID COMMUNISM IS BAD". grow the fuck up and open your minds. the only way this world can be stymied from going down the shit can is if we all work together for teh common goal. that includes everyone on earth. unfortunately, many people I would venture to say with huge disproportionate amounts of money argue just to keep it and it's not fucking rocket science why.

  • This Michael Moore presentation wasn't too bad. He says making money from an invention, like the light bulb, is valuable and that inventors should reap their reward. Maybe I'm wrong but it seems that Michael doesn't care for the investors - the people that gave the inventors the money to build their invention in the first place. The investors make money by "spending" their money in various companies without doing any "hard" work and they [can] reap big rewards. But are they less valuable?

  • @JaneSanFrancisco FOLKS, PLS WATCH OUT HELL-BOUND CAPITALIST THUGS!!

    BEST COMMENTS LIKE THIS ONE ARE GETTING FLAGGED DOWN CONTINUALLY!

  • Michael Moore: a perfect spokesman for OWS. Stupid, dishonest & can't get laid.

  • @pm829

    no, that would be your hero Bush, the man who barely graduated college and enjoyed killing American soldiers and innocent Iraqi's.

  • Wow, CNN really captures what he said. They took context out of a sentence he said and posted it. It made him look bad

  • the problem is all of america in general.

  • @eatmeimsteak wow so insightful

  • Wallstreet is not on the top of the power. It is not White house, it is not Pentagon, it is not Obama. IT IS WOMAN IN LONDON.

  • @2012majk would you say Rodthschield or her ?

  • The problem isn't with capitalism. The problem is with greed. Greed is a part of human nature. If we think that greed will cease being a driving motivation for individuals in a socialistic, communist society we're fooling ourselves.

  • ban lobbying and put term limits on all polticians 2 terms and your out.

    it is not wallstreet thats the problem it is the money buying the polticians who sell out America. They get bought to sell you out. ban lobbying save AMerica

  • "We ask that the government undertake the obligation above all of providing citizens with adequate opportunity for employment and earning a living. The activities of the individual must not be allowed to clash with the interests of the community, but must take place within its confines and be for the good of all. Therefore, we demand:... an end to the power of the financial interests. We demand profit sharing in big business." - Nazi Party, Munich, February 1920.

    Damn fools!

  • It's truly sad that these OWS "useful idiots" are reviving a monster we thought gone...

    "We are socialists, we are enemies of today's capitalistic economic system for the exploitation of the economically weak, with its unfair salaries, with its unseemly evaluation of a human being according to wealth and property instead of responsibility and performance, and we are all determined to destroy this system under all conditions." --Adolf Hitler (Speech of May 1, 1927)

    BOHICA ! !

  • @MoonShineProds

    What does that have to do with anything we're talking about?

  • 1:30. The inventor isn't rewarded the one who sells it is.

  • Ending capitalism is a pipe dream. The majority of americans consider anything other than capitalism to be socialist which is a "dirty word."

  • @londonacid1 well socialism doesn't work so of course it's a "dirty word"

  • @londonacid1 Er, they think that anything else but their extreme version of capitalism as red Rusky communism. Bunch of whinging babies, who have been sickened by their own culture of dollar worship.

    (apologies to the tiny percentage of more sensible Americans).

  • @londonacid1 Americans rightly consider robbing the treasury to cram billions of dollars into Democrat-run corporations ... Socialism.

    The Communist Party worked hard to get Obama into power to "fundamentally transform" the USA. That is NOT a good thing!

    Communist Party USA was major player in effort to get Obama elected. "Barack Obama's election as president was a victory won by an amazing broad alliance of which we were a part."

  • @MoonShineProds

    Lol...

    Is that how Mark Zuckerberg became a billionaire? What about Steve Jobs? Bill Gates?

    Oh! What about Chris Gardner, the guy the Pursuit of Happyness was about, he's in the 1%. Did he only get there because he was greedy and evil too?

    The only person holding you back is you. Stop looking for a big shadow to point at and blame for your problems. If you want something, go out and get it. Work your ass off and get it. That's what this country is about.

  • Heres a really great guy to listen to.... haha. An idiot college drop out who makes a living making up lies and producing crappy documentary films that have little to no credibility.

  • @taccy1989 Except for the fact that wall street has become corrupt and immoral and is affected all of us including you, and your too unaware to open your eyes. Instead you troll on the internet and watch ESPN because your conservative upbringing raised you to believe that rebelling against injustice would make "god" angry. Wake up, humanity is hurling towards disaster and people like you are holding us back from saving it.

  • @izzt234 Why is Wall Street the villians? Did Wall Street borrow money for houses they couldn't afford? Did Wall Street protest inside local bank branches to force them to give more sub-prime mortgages? Did Wall Street lower the borrowing requirements not onces but 3 times. Did Wall Street threaten banks with fines if they didn't loan money to people that couldn't pay it back? Did Wall Street create Fannie and Freddie? I think your argument is with Congress.

  • @kbar8888 Yes, Yes, Yes you dummy! Wall street crashed the ecoomy and then borrowed 3 trillion in tax payer money--that's the point, you uneducated nit-wit.

  • @jaspermatty Wallstreet did not encourage people to borrow money for houses they couldn't afford. Wallstreet didn't increase the percentage of sub-prime mortgages banks HAD to write. Wallstreet didn't lower borrowing requirements again and again. Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Democrats did that.

    Congress changed the mark-to-market rule such that when Merrill Lynch had to sell $30B in mortagages @ $0.22 on the dollar it cost the rest of the banks hundreds of billions overnight. Bubble Burst.

  • @izzt234 Phew!!..Keep preaching my dude!!..

  • what we have now isn't capitolism when the Government tells Companys what to do and funds the companys. That is the foundation of Socialism as is a Heavly Graduated Income Tax, Nationalized Healthcare and centralized policeforce like DHS..

  • dam dude in a way he kinda treated him

  • Michael Moore is correct. It's started. Capitalism's days are numbered.

  • honesty is the best policy,and all the other crap we where told as little kids,does not apply today..cheet,lie, and steal and you will get ahead in life... i tell the truth and i get myself in nothing but trouble,i dont steal and i have nothing, i have to change my ways before i end up in the gutter...

  • I can't listen to this guy. I feel bad for him having to wake up that hideous every day.

  • It's funny because Michael Moore used Capitalism to make himself a millionaire and is now telling people that they can't do the same thing. Obviously we're not intellectual giants like him. We're the little people.

  • @Amiaworld Are you seriously retarded? Did you even listen to what he was saying? There is no problem in working hard for your money, THERE"S A PROBLEM FOR NOT WORKING HARD FOR YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY

  • @mugen744

    Oh okay. And you think that every single person in the top 1% of this country got there through inherited wealth? What's your logic?

  • @SpinCage ya right, if a Republican was in the White house they'd all be lined up at the gates protesting, but they can't do that with Obama being prez..... i live in Canada and these same people think our Conservative Gov't are the devil...they are not liberals, they are waaay out in left-field.

  • He's a liar - Canada and China students don't have to pay if they're pre-med ??? wtf???? All Canadians pay tuition for post secondary education, in fact we don't have very many scholarships and alot of best brains and athletes go to the NCAA. i can't believe he thinks that.....maybe in China, idk, not familiar with their education system.

  • LOL @ a 300 pound man talking about "greed"

  • ehhh. Well I'm Michael Moore, I wasn't trying to become a multimillionaire. It just happened, people couldn't turn away from the amazing, omnipotent message that I bring forth in my movies. Yea, Piers I am a multimillionaire, but I DIDN'T WANT IT! People just wanted to see my movies. Forget that I marketed them extremely well and made deals with advertising and film agencies(corporations), CAPITALISM IS WRONG!

    I am Michael Moore and Capitalism is wrong.

  • @StonewallJackson26 ur an idiot lol

  • the way things are being run all over the world is "in human" 100% period. and the 1% work for the most inhumane of people in the world. but, the numbers don't lie, people make up governments and powerful leaders and in reverse people can break down these organizations and individuals with their own free will and state of mind by being leaders themselves and not followers.

    that's a what the "new world order" should be about. the underdogs becoming leaders of the a "free" world.

  • Why don't they just crusify Michael Moore? He's just trying to help the masses and this is what he has to deal with? If I were him, I'd take my money and watch the masses suffer! He doesn't have to do this.......who's kidding who?

  • Moore, before you drag Buddhism into this, do keep in mind that there's nothing wrong in become rich. The sin lies in doing someone harm. If you've got a roof over your head, food to eat and there's no bounty dangling above you, then you lead a content life. Over 1billion people around the world wake up and eat trees and dirt, death's probably lurking around the corner, but others who have it better are complaining and being counter-productive.

  • @SpinCage have you forgotten about P DIDY BUSH? What about the other 535 in Washington. They are just as responsible for these crimes against you!!!

  • @SpinCage moore is the 1% but hes on the 99% side. like what he said bout the lightbulb in this.. he is like that guy. he brings light into dark rooms and has opened the publics eyes to how fucked up this country really is. he is one of the very few 1% who actually deserves to be there.

  • Karma is a BITCH. You'll see....

  • lol @ comments. Moore and Garofalo make far right-wingers heads explode. Me likes.

  • what a shit

    he is a moron

  • /watch?v=1SQqjTxI3vc. The corruption by elite is intrinsic to a monetary system. For every "corrupt" politician and banker we throw out, another will take his place, its the only way to play the game. PLEASE take a minute to watch a video of REAL solutions, not patchwork on an outdated system. Without a clear solution, we are allowing politicians to create their own solutions that will end up in the same place. Educate yourselves on Resource-Based Economy's and UNITE!

  • Doesn't give one cent to charity. Has had exactly 1 minority work for him in all his films. Molests children and rapes women. Great guy sure!

  • A known child molester Michael Moore. He does his movies outside the US.

  • michael moore is a fat tub of shit hypocrite. he makes money off of capitalism and then tries to denounce it. when is this fat faggot going to give away his money?

    fucking hypocritical faggot.

  • Comment removed

  • @michaelartsmedia yeah shut the fuck up moron

  • "HYPOCRITE"

  • michael moore wants to eat the fat cats

  • Comment removed

  • My vague preconception was that Moore was a bit of a nut. He's mostly right here. He used to be as guilty as his detractors of playing word games around the word "capitalism", but he's getting away from that.

    Nothing will be gained from correctly or incorrectly labeling the problem or the solution as "capitalism". First, what we have is regulated (not enough) free market. Second, ideological names are vague and carry baggage. Concrete policies and regulations are what should be talked about.

  • Why do they keep putting a microphone in front of him?

  • Michael Moore, the richest hypocrite of em all. Pretending he's not wealthy.

  • @Rezz909 he didn't pretend he wasn't wealthy, he said that yes he made money because people liked his documentaries; so he didn't deny making money technically, but he distinguished between keeping all the money for himself making other peoples lives worst. just saying =)

  • @fatefulcoincidence so true

  • @Rezz909 Moore is a opportunist. He knows in the big communist take over his style of "documentaries" will be required viewing by all party members. He knows its the only way he will get the "masses" to view his films.

  • @kbar8888 well put...

  • @kbar8888 -- nope, he actually beleives in what he does. He's been doing it for decades, he only became rich after he had success

  • @brchful Marx, Lenin, Stalin, Hitler, Pol Pot, Mao Tse Tung, Hugo Chavez and Fidel Castro all believe in what they did too. It doesn't make them any more Pro-American than Moore.

    Moore makes a living off of pandering to a very anti-American minority in this country, based primarily in Mahattan, Malibu and public sector unions.

  • @kbar8888 -- what is america, and why is michael moore "anti-american." and if you're referring to democrats and liberals, they live in more than the places you mentioned. In fact, they are about 1/2 of America.

  • @brchful Not according to Gallup. "40% of Americans interviewed in national Gallup Poll surveys describe their political views as conservative, 35% as moderate, and 21% as liberal."

  • @Rezz909

    idiot, he clearly admitted that he's a wealthy film maker. He used the "light bulb" inventor as an example. If you have an idea, you deserve to be rich and be rewarded. He makes films that people enjoy seeing. He deserves to be rewarded. The bankers aren't creating anything. They're practically stealing money.

    You see the difference?

  • @nimrooo hey nimrod, still doesn't change the fact he's a hypcrite.

  • @Rezz909

    wait, so you agree with what I said but you still think he's a hypocrite?

    which one is it?

  • @nimrooo you fucking retard. the protests are about redistributing wealth from rich to poor. the product is irrelevant. michael moore is a fat tub of shit hypocrite. he makes money off of capitalism and then tries to denounce it. when is this fat faggot going to give away his money?

    fucking hypocritical faggot.

  • @thenfm

    Where did he "denounce" capitalism.

  • The day it spreads across the country is the day the apes take over
