"Do you think that was
really necessary?"

01:06:36,951 --> 01:06:39,864

"Really proud of you, girl.
I don't agree with everything,

"but good for you." There's a sense of
respect, ironically from the other side,

01:06:47,545 --> 01:06:49,753
for the way I approach issues.

<i>These candidates
were fighters.</i>

1171
01:06:57,222 --> 01:07:01,057
People deserve someone who's gonna fight
for the people and not corporations.

1172

someone to run for office...

<i>Man, it is truly the lack of
political will from our Democrats.</i>

1174
01:07:08,149 --> 01:07:11,142
And their backbone is
literally just missing.

1175
01:07:11,236 --> 01:07:13,478
Right, and you put both of
those components together,

1176
01:07:13,571 --> 01:07:15,291
and then on top of that,
you're taking money

1177
01:07:15,323 --> 01:07:17,563

Republicans are taking money from.

1178

for a teacher not to get paid
real salaries,

1183
01:07:32,173 --> 01:07:33,630
or lack of resources, right?

The definition
of electoral insanity

1185

to be any different.

1201

<i>They were running against the

1202

<i>that has led them to defeat
for so many years.</i>

1203

<i>This old guard</i>

1204
01:08:25,143 --> 01:08:28,978
<i>had tried to keep the candidates
on the moderate side of things.</i>

1205
01:08:29,105 --> 01:08:32,769
<i>To stay in the center,
to not rock the boat.</i>

1206
01:08:33,359 --> 01:08:35,772
<i>In other words, to lose.</i>

1207
01:08:36,654 --> 01:08:39,613
51% of people
between 18 and 29

1208
01:08:39,699 --> 01:08:41,907
no longer support
the system of capitalism.

1209
01:08:41,993 --> 01:08:43,859
Well, I thank you
for your question,

1210
01:08:43,953 --> 01:08:46,411
but I have to say,
we're capitalists.

1211
01:08:46,497 --> 01:08:48,033
And that's just the way it is.

1212
01:08:48,124 --> 01:08:52,710
MOORE: <i>The "we" who are capitalists,
is she talking about her constituents?</i>

1213
01:08:53,588 --> 01:08:57,798
<i>Or maybe she means the people
who fund the Democratic Party.</i>

1214
01:08:59,218 --> 01:09:01,335
<i>They enlisted their friends
in the media</i>

1215
01:09:01,429 --> 01:09:05,673
<i>to tamp down the Democratic
revolution that was underway.</i>

1216
01:09:05,767 --> 01:09:07,759
I think the party moved
too far to the left.

1217
01:09:07,852 --> 01:09:09,218
Much farther to the left,

1218
01:09:09,312 --> 01:09:11,178
and out of touch with
the working class voters.

1219
01:09:11,272 --> 01:09:13,309
And if her win makes her

1220
01:09:13,399 --> 01:09:16,608
into what Kellyanne Conway
called

"the new face
of the Democratic Party,"

1222
01:09:18,696 --> 01:09:21,609
the Democratic Party is not
going to have a very bright future.

MOORE: <i>The worst damage happens
behind closed doors,</i>

1224
01:09:27,830 --> 01:09:30,698
<i>where Democratic Party leaders
do their best</i>

1225
01:09:30,792 --> 01:09:33,079
<i>to stamp out
the hopes and dreams</i>

1226
01:09:33,169 --> 01:09:36,958
<i>of those who would like
the Democrats to actually win.</i>

1227

<i>Take the case
of Levi Tillemann of Colorado,</i>

01:09:41,469 --> 01:09:43,677
<i>a Democrat who was
running for Congress.</i>

1229
01:09:44,097 --> 01:09:47,056
<i>Levi was struggling because
the Democratic leaders</i>

1230
01:09:47,183 --> 01:09:51,427
<i>threw all of the party's money behind
a more moderate, handpicked candidate.</i>

1231
01:09:52,563 --> 01:09:55,055
<i>So Levi secretly recorded
his conversation</i>

1232
01:09:55,191 --> 01:09:59,060
<i>with the number two Democratic
leader in the house, Steny Hoyer,</i>

1233

who they could bump off.

I'm running
a grassroots campaign.

I'm not accepting money

You know, my team. I have received messages
from people all over America

that say, "Who's running
your campaign?"

they are floored.

your finance director...

- And he's another person

I know last year...
I teach seniors,

1265
01:12:14,330 --> 01:12:17,914
there were eight students in my class
that had me in their cell phone as "Mom."

1266
01:12:18,000 --> 01:12:20,037
That was how I was listed
in their contact.

1267

So... Mom.
MOORE: As "Mom"?

1268
01:12:23,631 --> 01:12:25,918
Yes, you're
the mother figure because

1269
01:12:26,008 --> 01:12:29,501
their mother abandoned them
five years ago.

1270

get health insurance,</i>

<i>teachers were being forced
to buy and wear a Fitbit device.</i>

<i>The Fitbit would track
all their physical activity all the time.</i>

<i>And if you don't register enough
steps into the online database...</i>

Then you pay a $500 penalty
at the end of the year.

this sounds?

strange and wrong?

beyond the realm of doubt,

1967
01:49:37,279 --> 01:49:41,694
facts, which before
the dark decade of the Third Reich,

1968
01:49:42,284 --> 01:49:43,900
would have seemed incredible.

1969
01:49:44,495 --> 01:49:49,411
I had a defendant who killed
90,000 Jews and I asked him,

1970
01:49:50,084 --> 01:49:51,450
"Why did you do that?"

1971
01:49:51,960 --> 01:49:52,996
And he said,

1972
01:49:54,463 --> 01:49:57,046
"Hitler knew more than I did,

1973
01:49:57,132 --> 01:50:00,170
"and he told me the Jews
were planning to attack,

1974
01:50:00,427 --> 01:50:04,011
"as a matter of self-defense,
to defend ourselves against that attack."

1975

the same argument

of the United States.

If the information coming

What you're seeing

2062

People believe him, and this is of course,
puzzling to many of his critics.

But if the strongman,
the authoritarian, has done his job,

2065
01:53:51,450 --> 01:53:54,318
he has bonded people to him
a long time ago.

They believe in him,

2074
01:54:17,642 --> 01:54:21,101
and that's more important
than believing the truth.

"a few decades, we'll be lucky
if it's a few generations."

2082

Democracy means
ruled by the people

and if the people aren't
asserting themselves,

2084

yeah, we keep voting, but fewer of us are
allowed to vote every year,

of emergency statute,
