I DID read that article about Reagan, and heard Thom Hartmann. And I recall, in the 9th grade, watching Reagan’s swearing in while simultaneously seeing the Iranian hostages get off a plane on a split screen. I thought, as a teenager: Something is not right. This man JUST got sworn in. He’s been the president for 10 seconds. How could he be responsible for the release of these hostages. I remember this vividly.
I was in my early 20s and remember that as well. Even at a young age we were able to see Reagan for what he was, a wolf in sheep's clothing. He was the beginning of the downfall of the GOP and the US.
@@gah9742 Not so much a downfall - more like a kind of transformation towards evil, greed and world dominance. The Republicans have been some perverse SOBs for a long time. I don't know if the Democrats were much better although I think the Dems have a more honorable collective now maybe more than ever in my lifetime.
Never forgot that moment. I was riding my bus home from school and my bus driver, of all people, made a very loud comment about how Reagan cheated to get those hostages freed. Of course, this was largely ignored and laughed at at the time, but some knew it to be true. Terrible.
I support federal law mandating ten years in prison for each lie told to the American people by a politician. It’s time to raise our standards. A politician is a public servant, not wannabe royalty.
Every red blooded American must must must demand that a law be put on the books the EVERY voted in politician that takes a oath and then breaks that oath must be held responsible not the city not the state not the country the oath taker ,! And the oaths are NEVER TO BE CHANGED IN ANYWAY FOR ANY READON

I am whole heartedly with you Mr. or Ms.D. Siepiela on having some sort of Law to punish any public servant if they lie or spread lies about their opponents. I am a Canadian and even here there are politicians who are trying to be more like Trump and promoting lies over the internet. No one is perfect but there has to be some amount of decency . Sometimes I wish there were no political party but individuals who represent us. As for the Iran Affair, wasn’t it the Canadians who went into Iran to get the hostages? I have a lot of respect for President Carter for being a decent person. President Carter passed a remarkable amount of Bills ( laws) while in office. Sad to know he is not well but glad and thankful for his decency.
Any government official that has committed treason and high treason and terrorism need to Be held accountable for Their action It's time to start charging these people for the highest crimes on this planet.

Hi 🇨🇦!…1966 here, living in Northern CA…imagine paying millions in federal/state income/property/sales taxes & 100’s of 1000’s to SSI & NOW the GOP is threatening to cut/extend retirement to 70 before I can collect MY money, because we aren’t eating their crap food or smoking their cancer sticks anymore, so we are living too long.🙄… ALSO, many of the Presidential Candidates I voted for including Al Gore & HRC, who would have done our Country GOOD & actually WON the popular vote, had the Presidency taken away from them due to the antiquated electoral college that gives more voting power to red states w/no population…ALSO, in CA, each Senator reps 20 million in Congress, in WY (population less than most CA cities), each Senator reps less than 300,000… & MY federal taxes in CA mostly go to support poor Rs in red states who don’t have state services because THEY are too stupid to vote/pay for them…& NOW we are having to take care of their WOMEN, who are flooding our OB/GYN as medical refugees…THAT is the problem, which Rs obviously don’t want to fix anytime soon…good thing they are thinning their populations w/Covid/poor to nonexistent medical/dental care, inferior education, bad diet, smoking/Budweiser, bad genes/inbreeding & using meth while being armed like a terrorist…Darwin Awards in action…👍✌️

We owe the invention of most of our renewable energy technologies to Jimmy Carter. He started the R&D program that brought them into being and ready for market. Reagan basically shut these programs down. We could well have avoided the worst of the global warming crisis if those technologies weren’t put on the shelf for nearly 40 years.
I remember that about Jimmy Carter making that happen, it was in a biography. Reagan got the credit for what Carter actually did. Love you, Michael. Thank you for this special. Carter had a very special strength about him.
Yes, he did...Rosalyn. Lived through the Carter years, on active duty in Honolulu, HI. As a senior officer's wife among many we visited the men and women of squadrons and units and their young families. In tents on the beaches. It's hot in the Islands in the summer...unbearably hot. Under Carter, no new housing civilian or military was being built, there was literally no housing available. We did as much as we could, but it was not nearly enough. The tent areas were not safe. But what was Rosalyn's advice to her husband...dependents should not be permitted to accompany their sponsors. We must all tighten our belts. The Carters were widely despised throughout the military because of their treatment of our most vulnerable service members.
Kennedy to that's why they killed him because he was about the people and the right thing everyone after Johnson with exception of Carter all of them were about everything except the work of the people
Absolutely. I think Clinton before the Repukes gained control, was a good man. The Repukes would not let up and to seem successful he caved in to many of their ignorant ideas. Jealousy is truly of evil. We would be in such a different place if JFK lived, if Bobby Kennedy had won, if the country would have re-elected Carter, if Al Gore had won, it Hillary had won. We would have moved forward, instead of backward. If Clinton and Obama had been able to fully serve as Democrats, instead of having to deal with GOP obstructionists. The country would look so different in so many positive ways. If we survive, it is going to take being united and the GOP is fighting like their lives depend on it.
the Republicans and Kissinger forced him to let the Shah into the US for treatment. That destroyed our relations with IRAN, exploded oil prices, and immediately let to the hostages.
Mr. Moore, Americans of our age have endured way too much treachery in the last half century. Thanks for speaking up about this. The pain I hear in your voice is real. Oldest brother was hit hard in February '68 as a Marine, 2nd oldest did 3 Army combat tours in Vietnam and never really got his head straight, next older was Navy post-Vietnam and a really good guy. One-time USMC here, who was part of Jimmy Carter's Yacht Club (tm) 1979-80 Persian Gulf. My Dad's 4 sons all served when called, as did he in the "Good War". My hatred of those who betrayed them by knee-capping the future of of our Country is visceral. My brothers deserved better. As of this week I am the only one left.
Jimmy Carter helped usher one of the most corrupt agencies in the country - FEMA. It's like they get in, try to do a little good maybe, but in the end they all have to bow down to the powerful lobbies that actually control us.
Thank you, Sir, for your service and that of your family members also. You are right-you deserved better. Our presidents ARE responsible for not just the wars that we get our young, strong, and valuable citizens into but they commit their families to ongoing sacrifices too. We need people (like Michael Moore, Rachel Maddow and others) to keep people focused on how things are connected and how the politicians snow the American people into believing their BS. GOD BLESS
Ike was an angel compared to the criminals that followed. He was a man who at least retained his honor, on behalf of his service to the US during WWII, and later warned the nation of the military industrial complex and the police state.
No angel would have ordered the CIA to have Patrice Lumumba assassinated. It was Ike as well as the Brits, and Belgian mercenaries did the dirty work. Lumumba made the mistake of trying to help his nation fulfill its potential with its own natural resources and the 3 powers mentioned above worried they would not get those diamonds and uranium, etc, so decided to take him out. Maybe Ike was deluded or misled in this, but it was he who ordered the CIA to take Lumumba down. He was right about the military industrial complex, but made a truly despicable decision with regard to Lumumba.
@@StrikeHold04 That makes no sense. Or are you calling Christ a Socialist/Communist/Progressive -- about which labels you obviously know NOTHING: The "father" of Progressivism was REPUBLICAN Teddy Roosevelt. The Founders named several states "Commonwealths" -- isn't that your idea of "Socialism"? Before RIGHT-wing Fascist Hitler went after the Jews he targeted for extermination -- 1. Communists. 2. Socialists. 3. Trade unionists.
@@jnagarya519 Disagree. I left out Fascism. Word usage and meanings are co-opted by those desiring change. Christ told Pontius Pilate that his Kingdom was not of this world...so who's was it? It has been a Spiritual War Since the beginning in the Garden and Tree of Life. Do you know what and who Comprise the Committee of 300 and what their stated goals are. Individuals may consider themselves a Christian or Call themselves Christian but this does not necessarily make them so. Jesus tells us to "come out of Babylon" meaning to stop participating in False, Fraudulent Religion (opposite of Worshiping God in the only true Church Christ's Church) You either worship Satan or Worship God, with Jesus as your Savior. Peace!
@@StrikeHold04 You left out the word because you don't know what you're talking about. It can't be proven that there's a "God" or a "Satan". Further, dunce: the First Amendment SEPARATES "religion" from gov't. And Christ counseled keeping your "religion" to yourself so it doesn't become a self-aggrandizing ego-trip. In other words, your gibberish is hogwash got from Middle Eastern illiterates who claimed that the entire world was flooded, which they believed was flat, and more than 1400 years before it was learned that the Americas existed. Again: the First Amendment SEPARATES "religion" from gov't because "religious" claims are entirely subjective. All sorts of nuts and charlatans have claimed that "God" -- that can't be proven to exist -- "talked" to them. But NONE of them provided any EVIDENCE PROVING that nonsense claim.
@@StrikeHold04 You left put Fascism because that's what you affirm -- against Christ's preachings AGAINST SELFISHNESS. So Jimmy Carter actually walks his Christian talk, and you label him a "Communist" and the like because you are taught by LIARS to HATE "Communism". You don't know anything about it. Hitler committed mass murder based on his hatred of "Communism" and other forms of generosity. You're jabbering extremist right-wing anti-Christian anti-Americanism.
Someone convinced them all that selling washing machines and soap was how to cleanse and save the world. Equating the ideals of America with gold and guns. They’re nuts.
The long term investment in influencing the Supreme Court, many in the DOJ, gun ownership, is an obvious pointer to the Republican plan to ultimately implement dictatorship. Total power forever without accountability.
Of course because the Republicans use too be the democrats before they both killed honest Abe for leaking the truth that slavery was capitalism…. They all call each other colleagues when you listen to them attack each other.l
Thank you for educating me about this history. As a Canadian, I am worried about the future of rule of law , justice and democracy below the 49th parallel because sadly Conservative Canadians operate out of American GOP playbook. Why do people vote in their own oppression? I just don't get it. If we know better we should do better.
I am a fellow Canadian and totally agree about our Conservative wannabe fascist Republican Party. Too many countries today suffer from non democratic greed activities.
The number of deaths in each of these statistics pales in comparison to the disabilities. I do psychiatric disability evaluations for veterans and am every week saddened by the PTSD fallout of these wars.
Thank you for bringing this serious issue to fellow readers here. I would add that the disabilities in poorer nations are not treated nearly as well as in the US for instance. The disabled can often be left to survive horrid existences. Physical and mental care can be outside the fantasy realm for many of these people.
@@donnavorce8856 unfortunately there are many, many vets in this country, who in the richest country in the world, cannot get the services they were promised for serving, and are on the street or driven insane or both.
Michael, another little comment: a friend/coworker of mine is fond of saying that the earth itself is not endangered---it will do just fine, will recover, perhaps godzillion years out---it's the species that won't, including of course our own! When we're gone, recovery can slowly begin. Believe he's right, no?
He wasn’t above appearing on television, and on episodes of what’s my line he was always the most lecherous panelist toward the women that they ever had.

Should the families of the 13 soldiers Biden sacrificed as one of his first "Fu Q" to the 75 million Americans who voted for that outsider Trump? Now I'm not gonna defend them establishment presidents in the past. I am talking to the one the people voted for in an attempt to put the establishment elites in check. We see how that is playing out. 7 years of investigations 1 misdemeanor indictment hundreds of political prisoners. Several DC police suicides after Jan. 6rh no one knows why? We have soldiers being left in favor of a anti-American transvestite. To a war with Russia that American officials have publicly stated their will be not peace talks now? 100s of thousands already dead. Can anyone tell me with and sense integrity that the establishment democrats over the years aren't just as guilty as the claims here?
Thank you! I have loathed Ronald & Nancy Reagan for their mediocrity and their politics since he was voted in. He's the one who ushered in the current era with all its vulgar corporate greed.
That trickle down theory and thousand lights were theatrics and lies. So many people were taken in by that man who was the first chosen by the GOP for his television appeal, not unlike DJT (ugh).
Oh dear, the Tehran hostage situation is nauseating and worse, but Reagan didn't do this alone, he had the backing of the Republican party. Now, I'm going to upchuck 😢
Been listening to Thom Hartmann since the 1990s when Bernie would tell us what was going on in Washington. He is a gem, in fact, they both are I am so glad they are for us and not against us.
Eric Rudolph worked for Zell Miller before and after January 29, 1998. Yeah Eric got to finish his texture on the dry walk at the Brasstown Valley Golf Club while FBI agents were scouting the woods 20 miles Nirth of Young Garris, Georgia while serial child killer John Ramsey remains protected by the deep state Mr Moore. I have respect for 8 year old Michael Moore of West Memphis, Arkansas because at least he cared enough with his buddy Christopher Byers to risk their lives to search for their friend Stevie Branch. Where are you Mr Moore eating pizza on the sofa watching the idiot box?
There is something deeply disturbed about the kind of people this party attracts. And it’s just gotten worse and worse over the years! If they spent as much time trying to find some actual values to bring to table as they do trashing our country, we wouldn’t be in the place right now. 😢it’s really pathetic!!
True statement. Their appointees are just póster children for a criminal party. Not serious candidates, not serious Presidents. Clowns who serve dark money and dark ideology while exploiting the naive and patriotic and using racism and other means to cleve the country apart. That's who they are. Liars, cons and fascists.
MOST PATHETIC is how the ummericans are clueless of how their unconst'tl "gov" has worked for 150 yrs. Pathetic whiners who are largely disengaged, over-medicated, depressed, half-literate, unaware of Actuality, defrauded, legally poopagandized (that was passed in a bill back around 1986 or so)...
They used to trot out the former hostages for a photo op every anniversary of the hostage release. At least one would look at the camera and declare, “Carter got us out”
I was 17 years old, and in my senior year of HS during the 1980 presidential election. I knew in my heart at the time it was dirty, and Regan made a deal with the Iraqis to help him get elected. Jimmy Carter made mistakes during his presidency, but he did a lot of great things for this country. Certainly the most honest President we have had in a long time. Many of his alternative energy programs were great. I good man indeed.
Funny...I was 10, and I traced the US state map and colored in all the states Reagan won in black sharpie. I remember being disheartened as things progressed, and I distinctly recall my mom saying 'Reagan is an idiot but the one who is scary is Bush'. Jimmy and Rosalyn are two of my favorite people...ever.
@@michaelpichahchy2489 .... You are Moron. Regan did what he said he was going to do. Just because you don't like the way he did it is your problem. I was just entering the USAF, an E1 made $419.40 per month, with very limited benefits for family. Regan within his first months made the pay of an E1 $501 with almost a complete overhaul of Education, Family health insurance and a load more. Sense then, EVER Dem has has taken Benefits from retired Vets. Carter let Americans taken in our Embassy in Tehran for 444 days. He was a coward and a trader.
Do it, Michael!! Go find the Iran Hostages and get their truth on record now before it’s too late. You have the ways and means to make this happen. I’m here for it.
For those of us who were alive and politically involved knew that there was definitely involvement by the Reagan political operatives and the release of the captured Americans. Of course we were ridiculed, similar to today, of his involvement. I'm so glad that you are calling this out, as opposed to the MSM, because this is history and it must be exposed.
When Johnson learned that Nixon delayed ending the Vietnam War he did not reveal it. Because he thought it was too shocking for US citizens to deal with emotionally. How we've changed! The Tonkin lie shocks me though.
@@melorafoy7109 Tonkin has been uncovered for years. The common thread through all of these Presidencies is Roger Stone and his cabal. Nixon was the opening play, and Trump was the culmination of decades of planning and manipulating by his group of oligarchs.🖤🇨🇦
I'm sure you're going to mention Reagan, whom I will never forgive for what he did to the unions. Firstly, the air traffic controllers. I'll stop now, because my blood pressure is already too high. Best wishes, Michael.
Start meditating about once a day. Repeatedly meditate that you watch your blood pressure floating down, down, down. Like a floating feather. Meditate gently, peacefully, on justice (not vengeance- justice). Take excellent care of yourself, @sidstovell2177 😌🪶😌
Yes and bill Clinton started the process of deporting Mexicans , Obama deported more than any president , and Biden wrote the bill that broke up black families . Cmon man.
Thank you, Michael, for telling us the truth when so many media outlets will just ignore it and let such massive injustices and treasonous acts slide into obscurity. Also, thank you for mentioning Thom Hartmann who has let us in on some of these truths. You’re the best two sources of truthful information we have, and I’m grateful to and for you both.
These presidents all managed to phuck shit up! Jimmy Carter was a truly great human with the highest and most honorable intentions! My first vote! Reagan wiped out renewable energy in one of his first actions, killing Carters Renewable Energy Tax Credit! Imagine where we would be!!!😕
Well, where would we be? If you would watch "Planet of the Humans" you would see that 'renewable energy' doesn't work well enough to save us. In other words we would be where we are now. Moore makes a movie that says wind and solar won't save us but then he talks like it would save us. He needs to make up his mind. Get it? All you Dems? You don't make sense. We can't invite the world into our country and give everybody social programs and pay for it all by printing inflated worthless monopoly money. But Dems don't get it and then they think they are smart. OMG!!!
Carter also didn't get credit for getting the 6 hostages out that escaped and were hiding in the Canadian Ambassador's home in Iran. Carter had the Canadian prime minister take credit specifically so that they wouldn't retaliate against the other hostages still held at the embassy.
He's been a great former President but I was there and his last two years in office he veered hard right and let down many progressives who put him into office in the first place.
There was a famous Rolling Stone article during Carter's first campaign, I forget who by, claiming that Carter was the next JFK, before we knew all the dirt on JFK. But he was one better. He told us the hard truths, and was as honest as any politician could have been, and walked the talk. I am proud I was able to vote for him, twice. But Republicans came for him with everything blazing, because they knew how special and transformative he was. It's been, and was then, an open secret that Reagan made the hostage deal to get elected, so Carter knew. It's a good, but sad, exercise to imagine how different things would have been if Carter had won re-election. But his legacy is with us still. The climate crisis would be so much worse without him. We still practice his energy policies, at home and in offices. We no longer bleed energy on our cars and A/C. Partly due to OPEC, then our own companies, and he met that with practical policies which weren't always popular. We drove 55 for a long time, until lobbies and oil companies finally got the speed limit raised back to pre-Carter levels. He will and should have a historic legacy, but even today, the WSJ is attacking his Middle Eastern policies. Instead of say, George Bush. I imagine that article is full of the GQP's Reagan talking points they used in the campaign and drag out when they need to (get over it, already!). I love my country, but am often so ashamed of it. Ty, Jimmy Carter, for being a shining light in the midst of American fascism. It's July 2023, and he's still here.
You are one of my favourite human beings on earth. You have been inspiring me to action for around 30 years. You taught me how to fight bad laws & wicked companies effectively, though both activism & art. I have participated in changing laws & policies across every level of government. From getting my local city council to put soap in all of the public wash rooms so that the local homeless population could wash there hands during COVID, to getting my federal government (Australia) to take Fretilin (in East Timor ) off of the terrorist list & be recognised as the legitimate political party that it is. Which led to the freeing of political prisoners, UN supported elections, the withdrawal of Indonesia's brutal occupation & the creation of a new constructional democratic Nation. Timor Leste. I'm not & never have been a lobbyist or community leader. I'm just a disabled woman with a telephone. Thankyou for the mentorship you gave me via your TV shows & Films. I just thought you should know that the seeds you plant do bare fruit. That the lives of people on the other side of the planet have benefited from what you do. ❤
That is far beyond any statute of limitations. Old news won't help us now, we need WARRIORS! They are KILLING us DAILY. We fret PRONOUNS. Who do ya think will win THAT fight?
Let's all send s prayer out to Mr. Carter and Roselyn, they are wonderful people and Great Americans. We are a little better because they showed us how. Bless them both!
I totally agree with you! President and former General Dwight David Eisenhower warned us to"Beware the MILITARY INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX!" Always wondered what Eisenhower would think about a 20 year war!?????🤔🤯🤯🤯My very first vote was for Nixon ! My mom was a Conservative Democrat, dad was a moderate Republican . I was more like my dad! At least Nixon did the correct thing and stepped down! 45 is very scary! As a woman of German-Swiss ancestry, he reminds me of Hitler! I call 45 A-GOLF TWITLER!

Then proving to the world, when Japan was done with no navy, no air force, no resources even to feed themselves, that the USofA, to this day is the only country in the world that cannot be trusted with THE BOMB!
Thank you, Michael, for reporting on this. I was only 18 at the time, and first-time voter (for Independent John Anderson) and as young as I was, I was deeply suspicious about the timing of the hostages' release.
I’m 62 and remember that whole hostage situation. We kept vigilant over the whole thing. I’m Christian and my father at the time held prayers for them. This is horrible
Carters "accomplishments" I understand that by contrast to the last two Democrat presidents Carter's destructive presidency, once considered the worst by a large percentage of scholars on all sides of the political spectrum, now looks relatively tame by contrast, but his "accomplishments" that is a laughable concept.
@@TheAmazingMattYoung Come out of your right wing bubble. While your were sleeping we invaded Iraq and had our Republican President protect Saudis that blew up our world trade center. Now, what about Carter?
@@stephj9378 Wow, you're really missing out if you don't know about this outstanding role model of a man and President. _Among the honors Carter has received are the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1999 and the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002._
And the former President of Iran at that time, Banisadr, said that this was true. And yet our media said little. (Like "what would he know, he was only the President of Iran at the time")...
It was only last week that it was actually confirmed by someone who was there. He said he wanted Carter to know what he'd long suspected. The reason it didn't get much press is because everyone already knew what Reagan had done -- but it was only confirmed a few days ago.
I never did. It's not I don't have enough to prevent me from sleeping at night which is Trump The Freedom Party and McCarthy and of course all the Trumpers. And lastly The heinous Supreme Court.
Bless Jimmy Carter. He’s still hanging on to life in hospice care at home. He built Houses for Humanity up into his 90’s even after coming out of cancer treatment. I wonder if anyone told Jimmy about this? Did Barnes tell him personally or is he also on his deathbed?
Understand the Democrat's Party despised Carter because he was a decent person... the party didn't support his re-election fully, so he lost... Hitlerite/Communist Jokementia Bribery needed less than a year to prove himself The Worst President in History !!! Carter was relieved to lose that title...
👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿 I was telling some of my Republican and Democrat friends about the last 6 Republican presidents we had in office and what they did to get into office and what they did while they were in office and nobody believed me!!!! This is great stuff!
Most presidents see the presidency as the culmination of their careers. For Carter, it was a necessary stop on the way to his peak. It provided him with an international reputation and an enviable rolodex of people who would take his calls as he continued his international humanitarian work.
@@justinchetham-strode5234I will give him that, at least the best in modern times. Unfortunately, until the guy in there now, he was the most ineffectual president.
@@jonathannelson103 True, Carter didn't enjoy the most successful presidency, he was besieged by bad luck, but you'd have to concede that Biden's actually been very effective in repairing the mess left behind by his predecessor.

@danthefan5378 He did consider running as a Democrat but wanted especially to defeat extremism in the Republican Party in particular Taft, and the only way for him to do so was to be the Republican nominee.
I remember playing Jimmy Carter in a mock election in my elementary school when I was nine or ten. I won in a landslide. Kids loved Carter. And for good reason. Sometimes, like with Obama, you can just tell the greatness and character of the man. And since then Jimmy has lived the life of a Saint. He has done more for the poor and disenfranchised than any president since Lincoln. And now, to find out about these horrifying backroom political deals is just tragic. But hopefully by bringing this story to light, Jimmy will get some overdue respect. Thanks for the episode Mr. Moore, keep fighting the good fight. And remember: when you preach to the choir, the choir sings louder.
O bummer was NOT A GOOD President. Because he ATTACKED 5 COUNTRIES AT THE BEHEST OF THE jews in Israel. That plan was formed in the Late 70s--- and Early 80s

Mary Trump, Rachel Maddow's podcasts, 'Bagman' about Spiro Agnew, and 'Ultra', about American fascism in the U.S during the 30's and 40's that is a direct line to today's GOP. Also Lawrence O'Donnell and Nicole Wallace on msnbs. Thankyou Michael. Love listening to you. ❤
Thank you Michael for taking the time to inform those of us that don't look into these things as diligently as you do. You provide an enormously valuable service with your movies & documentaries. You have shined lights on so much that has been sitting in the dark. All I feel like I can do is to add my 2 cents via making comments. Im old now & I have very very little money so I can't donate more than a few dollars here and there but I will at least speak up. I vote! I do what little I can. But i so appreciate you & your kind that speak out! Thank God we have you! If not for you & those like you i shudder to think what a dismal shape we would be in😢😮
I think you should take time and listen and look into it for yourself instead of listening to this bozo Michael and his agenda [Democrats deny deny reveres the allegations. Just look at joe Biden ]
We have to do it again, Michael. Folks, get the vote out, volunteer, donate, whatever you can do to get more voters to come out and vote in 2024! Then we have to repeat in 2026, 2028, and beyond if we want change. We also need everyone to vote Blue and Progressive Up and Down the ballot to implement change and keep our democracy.
Yep and starting at the local level which often, often gets over-shadowed or ignored by national news, because it starts there. It starts at home, city councils, school boards, sheriff and DAs. Vote Blue at home, state, and country. 🇺🇸
But USA is a republic. The current system of ‘democracy’ is rubbish. Don’t you all notice America is crumbling? Perhaps you should be listening to true news about America from other countries because US media only tells you what Washington version of events
Wow Mike . . . are you impervious to facts? 1) Ford was shot at TWICE because he wouldn't play ball with the seditious power players who wanted to maintain the status quo. He announced several bank busting and trade as well as foreign objectives that promptly got him shot at twice in close succession to each other. He got the message and never ran for President. 2) You MAY remember Regan being shot? He was definitely a target of the CIA's assassination machine that had already killed two Kennedys (Bush). All you have to do is look at Bush's behavior and the behavior of his lackeys during that time. Its clear the Bush CIA assassination gang was hard at work once again. 3) The establishment HATES Trump - that because he opposes them successfully. He eliminated the "Threat" of North Korea, Reduced tensions against Israel, stifled the Iranian acquisition of Nuclear weapons, FORCED China to play ball in Trade, Forced Mexico and Canada to play ball with trade, Forced NATO to pony up, Destroyed ISIS, Forced the Taliban to all but completely back off, Forced the EU to play ball in trade with both food and energy, had the Saudi's eating out of his hand, reversed trends in both India and Brazil that were alienating them from the US, GREATLY reduced the drugs and Human trafficking over our southern border, reduced unemployment of minorities to the lowest levels in the country's history and unemployment in general to the second lowest numbers ever over all, only being beaten by WWII. Sound's pretty pro-American to me. AND: It is KNOWN that the "Russia Collusion Hoax" was paid for and invented by Hillary Clinton and the DNC. This is a known fact. It is also a fact that the DNC and RINO scumbags of the Uniparty - who are all never Trumpers are all (ALL) illegally and immorally benefiting from the war in Ukraine - which would have never happened under Trump's watch and even the majority of DNC pundits agree with that assessment. 4) Ike is the one who warned the US and Kennedy about the military industrial complex. Kennedy acting on that warning got himself and his brother assassinated. - Because Ike's warning was and still is the Truth. A truth this video serves to preserve regardless of your intention. Bush, Bush & Nixon . . . sure all scumbags . . .no question. That being said . . . No President is without their skeletons. The job means you can't make everyone happy, and you have to make uncomfortable friends. Name ONE president who hasn't had to do that. If you are honest, you will find just as much dirt on ANY president as you would on Regan or Jim Carter. I have my doubts about your willingness or ability to be honest however. Funny though that you are 100% blind to the clear treason of the Biden administration. Which is only a little less conspicuous than Obama's anti-American policies. And both of them as well as the Clintons KNOWINGLY took campaign contributions from Chinese spies / Chinese Military / Communist party members. I wonder what the Chinese purchased with those "contributions"? That is easy to answer when you look at the Clintons. No President in the history of this country did more to prop up the communist Chinese regime than Bill Clinton. And isn't it funny that the greatest "LOSSES" of military intel and strategic locations all occurred under the Clinton, Obama and now Biden administrations? Name even one Republican President that took campaign contributions from China. I can name at least three Democrat Presidents and at least 12 democratic candidates for President. Yet you have the BALLS to make accusations about the GOP. You are either a shitty liar Mike, or you have lost all ability to be truly objective. Even a cursory level of knowledge unwinds your position are wildly partisan. Your selective patriotism and selective rage are both so obvious that it defies the explanation of a simple lack of self awareness. Your propaganda is clearly of that of a political activist, who is actually seditious in nature. Maybe you should surround yourself with at least a few people of politically opposed views. I think if you applied your "principles" equally, you would might have points worth listening to. However its clear that at the moment you have no ability to objectively evaluate a subject. Your conformation bias is poisoning your "Logic" and undermines any relative value this video would otherwise have. Its too bad that your film making genius is so clearly willing to ignore facts that would impugn the DNC and GOP with equal ability. Then you MIGHT actually be able to make a film that had objectivity. The real threat to this country is the Uniparty. If you are NOT simply an apologist for the ruling class, then you would have to vastly increase your ability to be as critical of the DNC as you claim to be of the GOP. As it stands, your work does nothing to free people from the grip of the top 1%, and sadly actually serve the failing narrative of the kind of heartless and cruel powerful people you CLAIM to oppose.
I am 59 years old and I lived with each one of these presidents and every time we would get ahead with a Democrat a Republican would come in and pull all the good back
I am 77 years old, and lived with each of these TRAITORS, and all ways they let the government in a worse situation, economic, social. They're very good to create a big CORRUPTION, and destroy the reputation of the UNITED STATES of AMERICA around the world. They look like our worst enemies.
@@biderdoo The Democrats do more to maintain the middle class, individual rights, and do not start wars. The Repubs have removed many benefits from the middle class, kept the minimum wage low, and raised the Nat'l debt through profiteering from overseas wars. Naming specific here would take much space. Reagan, though, removed wonderful tax deduction benefits in the 80's and took away help for the mentally ill, housed in California. Before Reagan took it away you could actually deduct your credit card interest charges from your income tax. You could also deduct interest from a second home mtg. There far more but no space.
One of my oldest friends from college's family were close to the Cheney's. He would relate nuggets of wisdom Cheney would drop when the families were together. The favorite Cheney anecdote was while my friend was riding in the back of a jeep with him in an Central American country (fishing trip), Cheney made it a point to correct and elevate my friends perception of the US by stating..."the American people are too dumb to govern themselves" . We still talk about that one to this day.
Rachel Maddow did actually cover what Reagan did re the Embassy hostages. It was also covered in Rolling Stone, the Guardian, on the public broadcaster here in Australia and in our papers, it was covered in the UK. Don't worry, word definitely got out.
@@B_Bodziak I loved that. If you haven't listened to her most recent series, Ultra, you should. It's about a US sedition trial in the 1940s. Disheartening for you guys (it failed, it shouldn't have, I'm Australian btw), but utterly fascinating.
My very first vote at the age of 18 was Jimmy Carter, but then I bought into Reagan’s propaganda and voted for him the next time, which gave him a second term. I regret it to this day.
I voted for Carter my first election. And I have been voting mostly Democrat. Until I was persuaded by my Father to vote for HW Bush. And also I actually was persuaded by my sister to vote in 2016 an act I regret ever since. But I'll never do it again ever. 😮
I adulted during Carter and ever since have thought he was the worst ever president - until Trump. But at least Trump did keep our economy in good shape, Carter was absolutely horrendous. My own family has done best financially under Reagan and Clinton.
Steve Kerr's father was a hostage. I will never forget this. I was 18 years old when Carter was President. He was my first vote for the job! I wept when Reagan was Inaugurated.
My first vote was for Nixon. I voted for Carter and have never considered voting for a Republican since. And in hindsight that decision has proven correct.
Realize the Democrat's Party despised Carter because he was a decent person... the party didn't support his re-election fully, so he lost... Hitlerite/Communist Jokementia Bribery needed less than a year to prove himself The Worst President in History !!! Carter was relieved to lose that title...
Thank you for informing me about the "Extrapolations" series, Mr. Moore! I began watching it right after I heard about it, and it is gripping and scary in the very real future the series predicts! Terrifying! Episode 2 is so sad I started to tear up (the one about the humpback whale). I am a new subscriber to this channel as of today; sorry to say I had not heard about it before! I have been a huge fan of yours since "Bowling for Columbine", etc. You are one of the few people who care to tell us the cold hard truth, and be damned where it takes you, or how much animosity it may garner. Keep doing the good hard work! Respect, man!!!
Mr. Moore, thank you for bringing this story to my attention. I was young at the time; but, it's never too late to know the truth or the whole story. It is so sickening to know that history has been twisted by these evil republicans doers. I just thank God, that He has allowed us to learn the truth about these American GANGSTERS 😢
Fun fact: President Carter championed for hospice and palliative care. If Carter had not pushed to make hospice care available, it might not be the immeasurable service for patients and their families it is today.
Thanks so much for bringing this and for bringing relief in a guarantee that the buffoon won’t be at the helm ever again. Keep it going. Thanks again for what you do.
I am a new listener. And a new subscriber. Carter was the last president we've had that possessed honor and integrity. And we need another one like him. Now.
Not true.... President .. Barrack Obama......didn't do those ..... Hypocritical....things the Republicans....said Their purpose the entire time he served was to get him out ...through any means necessary...... America has been built on still is overcome by racism
GEORGA purged 87,000 voters from there voter rolls. The majority were black people. And he still lost GEORGA. He said to the Secretary of State there (find me 11,780 votes) he still lost GEORGA.
Oh heck nah! Craig Menear the chairman of Home Depot and self proclaimed cousin of 11 year old Jill Robinson and participant in the murder of Jonbenet Ramsey grew up with Michael Moore and both attended college together? Wow!
Thank you, Michael. You have such a big heart and brilliant mind. I love listening to you. Great job summarizing a very important NYT article. I hope you get interviews with hostages.
Michael, I always Iike your episodes. Today I am moved to tears. I am a survivor of childhood abuse and struggle daily with PTSD and anxiety. I have watched with utter horror what we have been doing to our planet but until now have been unable to help as I was drowning myself. Thanks you.
I wrote a paper on this in college 7 years ago. The teacher got all mad. Said Nixon did not make deals with the south Vietnam in 68. And Reagan did not trade arms with the Iranians. I deserved a good grade. The school othered me out, as a rabel rouser.
incredible your teacher would do the willful blindness to say that, when Reagan admin literally did illegally trade arms with Iran, etc. Reagan admin was by far the most technically corrupt, though Trump was in other ways, not as technical, but pushing the limits of most laws and disrespecting the spirit of laws, and of course breaking every norm of governance that this free society has developed over time.
I received a D in History in university, because in my final paper I said that the Constitution was written for and by white, landowners and that they did not consider women, black persons in the phrase ‘all men are created equal.’…sometimes professors are wrong.
I was born in Iran and was in my teens when the Islamic Revolution happened. After the Revolution, the first president was Banisadr who was actually a secular person. Naturally, he did not last long as president. He was only in office for some 18 months. But he held some other positions and at some point he left Iran permanently. Some years before his recent death 2 years ago, during an informal speech at some social event (most likely in the U.S.) he clearly described how Reagan not only sold weapons to Iran and prompted them to start the war with Iraq but also would not allow either of the warring sides to stop the war. According to Banisadr, after just one year both Iran and Iraq were willing to throw in the towel and make peace. But the consecutive Republican governments forced both countries to continue the war as they were selling weapons to both sides. He said that the U.S. told them that stopping the war would be a breach of contract. They forced them to continue the war for 8 years in order to get weapons. Interestingly enough, Iran did not pay the U.S. in cash but in oil.
NOW, Finally precedent Broken. A Former POTUS has NOW been criminally indicted. Can America begin to hold accountable former POTUS's when crimes are committed? I remember the days when the candidates for POTUS where held to a Higher Standard of Moral Character.
You need to do some actual research you have no idea what's going on! This has nothing to do with politics we are way past that this is the New World Order take over the battle between evil and good you have to decide what side you're on
Should we hold Biden accountable for taking millions from China? Or how about hindering our progress on the keystone pipeline while lifting sanctions on Russia's pipeline allowing them to have a monopoly on European energy?? Do you think it's strange that the Biden family has long standing back door dealings with Ukraine and just when Biden takes the presidency Russia invades Ukraine and we start sending them millions and millions of dollars?? I'm sure as a left wing nut you probably don't see a problem with any of that.
Wow I can’t believe what I’m hearing. What horrible thing for Reagan to do. And the fact the our media has not blown this up on every channel tells you all u need to know. So disappointed in our government. Edit: Also, thank you for speaking about this.
Please share this with Midas touch on TH-cam. Please share this with a platform that has over 1 million viewers. If the American people knew the facts and the truth, it would bring them to their knees. Main stream media and fox entertainment, is not going to touch on any of this for fear of losing viewers and money.

Good fact/quote....sadly, his beliefs have not been supported through time....look at Amazon, Walmart, Tesla, Comcast/Xfinity, WellsFargo, Chase, the list is a mile long. All of them should be heavily taxed and broken up.
I DID read that article about Reagan, and heard Thom Hartmann. And I recall, in the 9th grade, watching Reagan’s swearing in while simultaneously seeing the Iranian hostages get off a plane on a split screen. I thought, as a teenager: Something is not right. This man JUST got sworn in. He’s been the president for 10 seconds. How could he be responsible for the release of these hostages. I remember this vividly.
I was 13 and my b.s. detector went off fro the very first time behind this.
I was in my early 20s and remember that as well. Even at a young age we were able to see Reagan for what he was, a wolf in sheep's clothing. He was the beginning of the downfall of the GOP and the US.
@@gah9742 Yea, that "Trickle Down" dried up long before it got to me!😎🤨
@@gah9742 Not so much a downfall - more like a kind of transformation towards evil, greed and world dominance. The Republicans have been some perverse SOBs for a long time.
I don't know if the Democrats were much better although I think the Dems have a more honorable collective now maybe more than ever in my lifetime.
Never forgot that moment. I was riding my bus home from school and my bus driver, of all people, made a very loud comment about how Reagan cheated to get those hostages freed. Of course, this was largely ignored and laughed at at the time, but some knew it to be true. Terrible.
I support federal law mandating ten years in prison for each lie told to the American people by a politician. It’s time to raise our standards.

Sometimes I wish there were no political party but individuals who represent us.
As for the Iran Affair, wasn’t it the Canadians who went into Iran to get the hostages? I have a lot of respect for President Carter for being a decent person. President Carter passed a remarkable amount of Bills ( laws) while in office. Sad to know he is not well but glad and thankful for his decency.

There's no doubt how much good Jimmy Carter and his wife have done around the world. God Bless them both
he gave away our panama canal
I thought his "national malaise" speech was spot-on.
We owe the invention of most of our renewable energy technologies to Jimmy Carter. He started the R&D program that brought them into being and ready for market. Reagan basically shut these programs down. We could well have avoided the worst of the global warming crisis if those technologies weren’t put on the shelf for nearly 40 years.
I remember that about Jimmy Carter making that happen, it was in a biography. Reagan got the credit for what Carter actually did. Love you, Michael. Thank you for this special. Carter had a very special strength about him.
This was mentioned in a book on Walter Mondale, a biography.
President Carter is a very principled man. Bless him.
I was about 20 and I kinda knew about much of this and I was SUPER pissed off!
Yes, he did...Rosalyn. Lived through the Carter years, on active duty in Honolulu, HI. As a senior officer's wife among many we visited the men and women of squadrons and units and their young families. In tents on the beaches. It's hot in the Islands in the summer...unbearably hot. Under Carter, no new housing civilian or military was being built, there was literally no housing available. We did as much as we could, but it was not nearly enough. The tent areas were not safe. But what was Rosalyn's advice to her husband...dependents should not be permitted to accompany their sponsors. We must all tighten our belts.
The Carters were widely despised throughout the military because of their treatment of our most vulnerable service members.
Carter and his clan were rascists anti semites read about his people
History is going to be kind to Jimmy Carter. He represents the best of us.
There we'll have one hell of an argument!
Kennedy to that's why they killed him because he was about the people and the right thing everyone after Johnson with exception of Carter all of them were about everything except the work of the people
Absolutely. I think Clinton before the Repukes gained control, was a good man. The Repukes would not let up and to seem successful he caved in to many of their ignorant ideas. Jealousy is truly of evil. We would be in such a different place if JFK lived, if Bobby Kennedy had won, if the country would have re-elected Carter, if Al Gore had won, it Hillary had won. We would have moved forward, instead of backward. If Clinton and Obama had been able to fully serve as Democrats, instead of having to deal with GOP obstructionists. The country would look so different in so many positive ways. If we survive, it is going to take being united and the GOP is fighting like their lives depend on it.
the Republicans and Kissinger forced him to let the Shah into the US for treatment. That destroyed our relations with IRAN, exploded oil prices, and immediately let to the hostages.
Jimmy is a democrat
Mr. Moore, Americans of our age have endured way too much treachery in the last half century. Thanks for speaking up about this. The pain I hear in your voice is real. Oldest brother was hit hard in February '68 as a Marine, 2nd oldest did 3 Army combat tours in Vietnam and never really got his head straight, next older was Navy post-Vietnam and a really good guy. One-time USMC here, who was part of Jimmy Carter's Yacht Club (tm) 1979-80 Persian Gulf. My Dad's 4 sons all served when called, as did he in the "Good War". My hatred of those who betrayed them by knee-capping the future of of our Country is visceral. My brothers deserved better. As of this week I am the only one left.
Jimmy Carter helped usher one of the most corrupt agencies in the country - FEMA. It's like they get in, try to do a little good maybe, but in the end they all have to bow down to the powerful lobbies that actually control us.
What you wrote I felt in my soul. Thank you for your service.
Thank you for sharing your family and thank you for your service and your family should have been treated better. This is heartbreaking, take care ❤
Thank you, Sir, for your service and that of your family members also. You are right-you deserved better. Our presidents ARE responsible for not just the wars that we get our young, strong, and valuable citizens into but they commit their families to ongoing sacrifices too. We need people (like Michael Moore, Rachel Maddow and others) to keep people focused on how things are connected and how the politicians snow the American people into believing their BS.
GOD BLESS
Thank you and your family for your service.
Sickening - my heart also goes out to Carter - a truly lovely man.
Ike was an angel compared to the criminals that followed. He was a man who at least retained his honor, on behalf of his service to the US during WWII, and later warned the nation of the military industrial complex and the police state.
No angel would have ordered the CIA to have Patrice Lumumba assassinated. It was Ike as well as the Brits, and Belgian mercenaries did the dirty work. Lumumba made the mistake of trying to help his nation fulfill its potential with its own natural resources and the 3 powers mentioned above worried they would not get those diamonds and uranium, etc, so decided to take him out. Maybe Ike was deluded or misled in this, but it was he who ordered the CIA to take Lumumba down. He was right about the military industrial complex, but made a truly despicable decision with regard to Lumumba.

Jimmy Carter is that extremely rare Christian: one who actually walks the talk.
But is a Socialist/Communist/Progressive.
@@StrikeHold04 That makes no sense. Or are you calling Christ a Socialist/Communist/Progressive -- about which labels you obviously know NOTHING:
The "father" of Progressivism was REPUBLICAN Teddy Roosevelt.
The Founders named several states "Commonwealths" -- isn't that your idea of "Socialism"?
Before RIGHT-wing Fascist Hitler went after the Jews he targeted for extermination --
1. Communists.
2. Socialists.
3. Trade unionists.
@@jnagarya519 Disagree. I left out Fascism. Word usage and meanings are co-opted by those desiring change. Christ told Pontius Pilate that his Kingdom was not of this world...so who's was it? It has been a Spiritual War Since the beginning in the Garden and Tree of Life. Do you know what and who Comprise the Committee of 300 and what their stated goals are. Individuals may consider themselves a Christian or Call themselves Christian but this does not necessarily make them so. Jesus tells us to "come out of Babylon" meaning to stop participating in False, Fraudulent Religion (opposite of Worshiping God in the only true Church Christ's Church) You either worship Satan or Worship God, with Jesus as your Savior. Peace!
@@StrikeHold04 You left out the word because you don't know what you're talking about.
It can't be proven that there's a "God" or a "Satan". Further, dunce: the First Amendment SEPARATES "religion" from gov't. And Christ counseled keeping your "religion" to yourself so it doesn't become a self-aggrandizing ego-trip.
In other words, your gibberish is hogwash got from Middle Eastern illiterates who claimed that the entire world was flooded, which they believed was flat, and more than 1400 years before it was learned that the Americas existed.
Again: the First Amendment SEPARATES "religion" from gov't because "religious" claims are entirely subjective. All sorts of nuts and charlatans have claimed that "God" -- that can't be proven to exist -- "talked" to them. But NONE of them provided any EVIDENCE PROVING that nonsense claim.
@@StrikeHold04 You left put Fascism because that's what you affirm -- against Christ's preachings AGAINST SELFISHNESS. So Jimmy Carter actually walks his Christian talk, and you label him a "Communist" and the like because you are taught by LIARS to HATE "Communism". You don't know anything about it.
Hitler committed mass murder based on his hatred of "Communism" and other forms of generosity. You're jabbering extremist right-wing anti-Christian anti-Americanism.
We haven't had a decent Republican President since Ike. They talk about small government, but what they really want is an oligarchy.
The last Republican to care sincerely about the wellbeing of the American People.
Someone convinced them all that selling washing machines and soap was how to cleanse and save the world. Equating the ideals of America with gold and guns. They’re nuts.
The long term investment in influencing the Supreme Court, many in the DOJ, gun ownership, is an obvious pointer to the Republican plan to ultimately implement dictatorship. Total power forever without accountability.
Of course because the Republicans use too be the democrats before they both killed honest Abe for leaking the truth that slavery was capitalism….
They all call each other colleagues when you listen to them attack each other.l
Ike and Carter have been the two presidents I admire most.
I love Jimmy Carter. His character is impeccable. God bless him in his final days.
Thank you for educating me about this history. As a Canadian, I am worried about the future of rule of law , justice and democracy below the 49th parallel because sadly Conservative Canadians operate out of American GOP playbook.

I am a fellow Canadian and totally agree about our Conservative wannabe fascist Republican Party. Too many countries today suffer from non democratic greed activities.

Certain religions breed a master slave mindset and desire a king to return to "save them" from a world embracing too much freedom.
The number of deaths in each of these statistics pales in comparison to the disabilities. I do psychiatric disability evaluations for veterans and am every week saddened by the PTSD fallout of these wars.
Thank you for bringing this serious issue to fellow readers here. I would add that the disabilities in poorer nations are not treated nearly as well as in the US for instance. The disabled can often be left to survive horrid existences. Physical and mental care can be outside the fantasy realm for many of these people.
...and the dreadful physical wounds that the vets may hv wished they died from.
@@donnavorce8856 unfortunately there are many, many vets in this country, who in the richest country in the world, cannot get the services they were promised for serving, and are on the street or driven insane or both.
Michael, another little comment: a friend/coworker of mine is fond of saying that the earth itself is not endangered---it will do just fine, will recover, perhaps godzillion years out---it's the species that won't, including of course our own! When we're gone, recovery can slowly begin. Believe he's right, no?
I was married to a Vietnam vet and then a Desert Storm vet. Their resulting issues made living with them an impossible nightmare.

The hostages should bring lawsuits against the GOP.
Please explain how, when the republikkklan GOP senators are the ones that have created the crooked American laws, and appointed the corrupt judicial system and their rotten judges, SCOTUS federal state appellate, All bought and paid for by DARK MONEY 🤔
And the families and estates of those who’ve passed on since then.
Interesting...
I agree ! thats one of the most serious way to hold them accountable. Hit them in the pocket !!
Should the families of the 13 soldiers Biden sacrificed as one of his first "Fu Q" to the 75 million Americans who voted for that outsider Trump?
Now I'm not gonna defend them establishment presidents in the past.
I am talking to the one the people voted for in an attempt to put the establishment elites in check.
We see how that is playing out.
7 years of investigations 1 misdemeanor indictment hundreds of political prisoners. Several DC police suicides after Jan. 6rh no one knows why? We have soldiers being left in favor of a anti-American transvestite.
To a war with Russia that American officials have publicly stated their will be not peace talks now? 100s of thousands already dead.
Can anyone tell me with and sense integrity that the establishment democrats over the years aren't just as guilty as the claims here?
Thank you! I have loathed Ronald & Nancy Reagan for their mediocrity and their politics since he was voted in. He's the one who ushered in the current era with all its vulgar corporate greed.
That trickle down theory and thousand lights were theatrics and lies. So many people were taken in by that man who was the first chosen by the GOP for his television appeal, not unlike DJT (ugh).

Been listening to Thom Hartmann since the 1990s when Bernie would tell us what was going on in Washington. He is a gem, in fact, they both are I am so glad they are for us and not against us.
Eric Rudolph worked for Zell Miller before and after January 29, 1998. Yeah Eric got to finish his texture on the dry walk at the Brasstown Valley Golf Club while FBI agents were scouting the woods 20 miles Nirth of Young Garris, Georgia while serial child killer John Ramsey remains protected by the deep state Mr Moore. I have respect for 8 year old Michael Moore of West Memphis, Arkansas because at least he cared enough with his buddy Christopher Byers to risk their lives to search for their friend Stevie Branch.
Where are you Mr Moore eating pizza on the sofa watching the idiot box?
Bernie Sanders is the last true statesman in the US.
I have just recently discovered Thom and boy, does he make sense! And so knowledgeable.
There is something deeply disturbed about the kind of people this party attracts. And it’s just gotten worse and worse over the years! If they spent as much time trying to find some actual values to bring to table as they do trashing our country, we wouldn’t be in the place right now. 😢it’s really pathetic!!
True statement. Their appointees are just póster children for a criminal party. Not serious candidates, not serious Presidents. Clowns who serve dark money and dark ideology while exploiting the naive and patriotic and using racism and other means to cleve the country apart.
That's who they are. Liars, cons and fascists.
Right on ... the GOP has become a mafia level organization, pretending to be politicians.
They aren't the problem. It's the American people who vote for them.
So the repubs have always been like this….Trump just gave them permission to do all their crap right in front of our faces!!!! 🤦♀️🙏🏻☮️☘️
MOST PATHETIC is how the ummericans are clueless of how their unconst'tl "gov" has worked for 150 yrs.
Pathetic whiners who are largely disengaged, over-medicated, depressed, half-literate, unaware of Actuality, defrauded, legally poopagandized (that was passed in a bill back around 1986 or so)...
They used to trot out the former hostages for a photo op every anniversary of the hostage release. At least one would look at the camera and declare, “Carter got us out”
I was 17 years old, and in my senior year of HS during the 1980 presidential election. I knew in my heart at the time it was dirty, and Regan made a deal with the Iraqis to help him get elected. Jimmy Carter made mistakes during his presidency, but he did a lot of great things for this country. Certainly the most honest President we have had in a long time. Many of his alternative energy programs were great. I good man indeed.
Funny...I was 10, and I traced the US state map and colored in all the states Reagan won in black sharpie. I remember being disheartened as things progressed, and I distinctly recall my mom saying 'Reagan is an idiot but the one who is scary is Bush'.
Jimmy and Rosalyn are two of my favorite people...ever.
Wasn't it Iran? American prisoners was held and Iran refuse to set free,only did just when Reagan win election. Must of been a hell of a deal made.😏
@@michaelpichahchy2489 .... You are Moron. Regan did what he said he was going to do. Just because you don't like the way he did it is your problem. I was just entering the USAF, an E1 made $419.40 per month, with very limited benefits for family. Regan within his first months made the pay of an E1 $501 with almost a complete overhaul of Education, Family health insurance and a load more. Sense then, EVER Dem has has taken Benefits from retired Vets.
Carter let Americans taken in our Embassy in Tehran for 444 days. He was a coward and a trader.
Carter did some good things, especially after his presidency. Reagan made a deal before the 1980 election with the Iranians, as I recall .
WHAT MISTAKES DID HE MAKE THE ONLY PREZ WHO DID NOT GET US INTO WAR
Do it, Michael!! Go find the Iran Hostages and get their truth on record now before it’s too late. You have the ways and means to make this happen. I’m here for it.
For those of us who were alive and politically involved knew that there was definitely involvement by the Reagan political operatives and the release of the captured Americans. Of course we were ridiculed, similar to today, of his involvement. I'm so glad that you are calling this out, as opposed to the MSM, because this is history and it must be exposed.
20 years ago I would have been shocked and horrified. Today I'm not even remotely surprised.
When Johnson learned that Nixon delayed ending the Vietnam War he did not reveal it. Because he thought it was too shocking for US citizens to deal with emotionally. How we've changed! The Tonkin lie shocks me though.
I’m shocked, but not surprised
@@melorafoy7109 Tonkin has been uncovered for years. The common thread through all of these Presidencies is Roger Stone and his cabal. Nixon was the opening play, and Trump was the culmination of decades of planning and manipulating by his group of oligarchs.🖤🇨🇦
I'm sure you're going to mention Reagan, whom I will never forgive for what he did to the unions. Firstly, the air traffic controllers. I'll stop now, because my blood pressure is already too high.
Best wishes, Michael.
Start meditating about once a day. Repeatedly meditate that you watch your blood pressure floating down, down, down. Like a floating feather. Meditate gently, peacefully, on justice (not vengeance- justice). Take excellent care of yourself, @sidstovell2177 😌🪶😌
Truth always hurts!
I didn’t know that about him.
Besides decimating the middle class and handling the aids epidemic horribly!
Yes and bill Clinton started the process of deporting Mexicans , Obama deported more than any president , and Biden wrote the bill that broke up black families .
Cmon man.
Thank you, Michael, for telling us the truth when so many media outlets will just ignore it and let such massive injustices and treasonous acts slide into obscurity. Also, thank you for mentioning Thom Hartmann who has let us in on some of these truths. You’re the best two sources of truthful information we have, and I’m grateful to and for you both.
Jimmy Carter is a Good man,I am Muslim and I do declare that Jimmy Carter is a real Christian a good Christian.
These presidents all managed to phuck shit up!
Jimmy Carter was a truly great human with the highest and most honorable intentions! My first vote!
Reagan wiped out renewable energy in one of his first actions, killing Carters Renewable Energy Tax Credit! Imagine where we would be!!!😕
Well, where would we be? If you would watch "Planet of the Humans" you would see that 'renewable energy' doesn't work well enough to save us. In other words we would be where we are now. Moore makes a movie that says wind and solar won't save us but then he talks like it would save us. He needs to make up his mind. Get it? All you Dems? You don't make sense. We can't invite the world into our country and give everybody social programs and pay for it all by printing inflated worthless monopoly money. But Dems don't get it and then they think they are smart. OMG!!!
I worked for Carter in 2012-13, and he is a very honorable and humble human being.
Carter also didn't get credit for getting the 6 hostages out that escaped and were hiding in the Canadian Ambassador's home in Iran. Carter had the Canadian prime minister take credit specifically so that they wouldn't retaliate against the other hostages still held at the embassy.
@@B_Bodziak I remember that. Good call.😉

Carter was probably the most decent person to occupy the oval office. Sad the bad guys won.
He's been a great former President but I was there and his last two years in office he veered hard right and let down many progressives who put him into office in the first place.
@@OroborusFMA Reagan was worse! At least Carter didn't remove the solar panels from the WH like Reagan did.
The Democrat's Party despised Carter because he was a decent person... the party didn't support his re-election fully, so he lost...
There was a famous Rolling Stone article during Carter's first campaign, I forget who by, claiming that Carter was the next JFK, before we knew all the dirt on JFK. But he was one better. He told us the hard truths, and was as honest as any politician could have been, and walked the talk. I am proud I was able to vote for him, twice. But Republicans came for him with everything blazing, because they knew how special and transformative he was. It's been, and was then, an open secret that Reagan made the hostage deal to get elected, so Carter knew. It's a good, but sad, exercise to imagine how different things would have been if Carter had won re-election. But his legacy is with us still. The climate crisis would be so much worse without him. We still practice his energy policies, at home and in offices. We no longer bleed energy on our cars and A/C. Partly due to OPEC, then our own companies, and he met that with practical policies which weren't always popular. We drove 55 for a long time, until lobbies and oil companies finally got the speed limit raised back to pre-Carter levels. He will and should have a historic legacy, but even today, the WSJ is attacking his Middle Eastern policies. Instead of say, George Bush. I imagine that article is full of the GQP's Reagan talking points they used in the campaign and drag out when they need to (get over it, already!). I love my country, but am often so ashamed of it. Ty, Jimmy Carter, for being a shining light in the midst of American fascism. It's July 2023, and he's still here.
They always do. Especially when the good guys are too chicken to stand up to them.
I’m almost 68, voted for Carter, and have heard about this gun deal many many times. I believe Reagan’s own children knew of this.
Thank you for the light you constantly shed. You're the American kid who yells, "But the King has no clothes!"
You are one of my favourite human beings on earth. You have been inspiring me to action for around 30 years. You taught me how to fight bad laws & wicked companies effectively, though both activism & art.
I have participated in changing laws & policies across every level of government. From getting my local city council to put soap in all of the public wash rooms so that the local homeless population could wash there hands during COVID, to getting my federal government (Australia) to take Fretilin (in East Timor ) off of the terrorist list & be recognised as the legitimate political party that it is. Which led to the freeing of political prisoners, UN supported elections, the withdrawal of Indonesia's brutal occupation & the creation of a new constructional democratic Nation. Timor Leste. I'm not & never have been a lobbyist or community leader. I'm just a disabled woman with a telephone. Thankyou for the mentorship you gave me via your TV shows & Films. I just thought you should know that the seeds you plant do bare fruit. That the lives of people on the other side of the planet have benefited from what you do. ❤
You’re a great person. Others should follow your brave fight to help enact new good laws. Teaching others would be great and needed in these times.

Course let’s not even pretend that Jesus would have approved of the devil warshipping way the USofA ended WWII, by first,when Germany was practically done, fire bombing the people, that for the most part, only crime was that they didn’t fight hitler to the death! Then proving to the world, when Japan was done with no navy, no air force, no resources even to feed themselves, that the USofA, to this day is the only country in the world that cannot be trusted with THE BOMB!
Thank you, Michael, for reporting on this. I was only 18 at the time, and first-time voter (for Independent John Anderson) and as young as I was, I was deeply suspicious about the timing of the hostages' release.
I’m 62 and remember that whole hostage situation. We kept vigilant over the whole thing. I’m Christian and my father at the time held prayers for them. This is horrible
I remember my parents discussing the release of the hostages when I was a kid and saying something was "off."
I'm glad that Carter's accomplishments will be recognized. I hope he is alert enough to see this article.
Me, too.
Carters "accomplishments" I understand that by contrast to the last two Democrat presidents Carter's destructive presidency, once considered the worst by a large percentage of scholars on all sides of the political spectrum, now looks relatively tame by contrast, but his "accomplishments" that is a laughable concept.
@@TheAmazingMattYoung Come out of your right wing bubble. While your were sleeping we invaded Iraq and had our Republican President protect Saudis that blew up our world trade center. Now, what about Carter?
What. are his accomplishments?
@@stephj9378 Wow, you're really missing out if you don't know about this outstanding role model of a man and President. _Among the honors Carter has received are the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1999 and the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002._
Barbara Honegger wrote a book about what Regan did to Carter. It's hard to believe that you didn't already know about this story
Uh... he did. But it bears repeating, again and again and again.
And the former President of Iran at that time, Banisadr, said that this was true. And yet our media said little. (Like "what would he know, he was only the President of Iran at the time")...
No I don't know
It was only last week that it was actually confirmed by someone who was there. He said he wanted Carter to know what he'd long suspected. The reason it didn't get much press is because everyone already knew what Reagan had done -- but it was only confirmed a few days ago.
I never did. It's not I don't have enough to prevent me from sleeping at night which is Trump The Freedom Party and McCarthy and of course all the Trumpers. And lastly The heinous Supreme Court.
Bless Jimmy Carter. He’s still hanging on to life in hospice care at home. He built Houses for Humanity up into his 90’s even after coming out of cancer treatment. I wonder if anyone told Jimmy about this? Did Barnes tell him personally or is he also on his deathbed?
Every president should do community service like building houses volunteering while in office
Barnes is still not to be forgiven. His conscious should not be clear and he should join the rest of his Klan in Hell.
Understand the Democrat's Party despised Carter because he was a decent person... the party didn't support his re-election fully, so he lost...
Hitlerite/Communist Jokementia Bribery needed less than a year to prove himself The Worst President in History !!! Carter was relieved to lose that title...

I was telling some of my Republican and Democrat friends about the last 6 Republican presidents we had in office and what they did to get into office and what they did while they were in office and nobody believed me!!!! This is great stuff!
Most presidents see the presidency as the culmination of their careers. For Carter, it was a necessary stop on the way to his peak. It provided him with an international reputation and an enviable rolodex of people who would take his calls as he continued his international humanitarian work.

Eisenhower was a decent man who sought to save the Republican Party from itself - sadly he failed.
@@AGMundy My understanding is that Ike considered Running as a Democrat & was BS'ed persuaded by R=Pubs powers that be.
@danthefan5378 He did consider running as a Democrat but wanted especially to defeat extremism in the Republican Party in particular Taft, and the only way for him to do so was to be the Republican nominee.
I remember playing Jimmy Carter in a mock election in my elementary school when I was nine or ten. I won in a landslide. Kids loved Carter. And for good reason. Sometimes, like with Obama, you can just tell the greatness and character of the man. And since then Jimmy has lived the life of a Saint. He has done more for the poor and disenfranchised than any president since Lincoln. And now, to find out about these horrifying backroom political deals is just tragic. But hopefully by bringing this story to light, Jimmy will get some overdue respect. Thanks for the episode Mr. Moore, keep fighting the good fight. And remember: when you preach to the choir, the choir sings louder.
Carter was and always will be the greatest humanitarin President weve ever had!

It was a no brainer at the time Reagan was elected something was very fishy.

But USA is a republic. The current system of ‘democracy’ is rubbish. Don’t you all notice America is crumbling? Perhaps you should be listening to true news about America from other countries because US media only tells you what Washington version of events
Wow Mike . . . are you impervious to facts?
1) Ford was shot at TWICE because he wouldn't play ball with the seditious power players who wanted to maintain the status quo. He announced several bank busting and trade as well as foreign objectives that promptly got him shot at twice in close succession to each other. He got the message and never ran for President.
2) You MAY remember Regan being shot? He was definitely a target of the CIA's assassination machine that had already killed two Kennedys (Bush). All you have to do is look at Bush's behavior and the behavior of his lackeys during that time. Its clear the Bush CIA assassination gang was hard at work once again.
3) The establishment HATES Trump - that because he opposes them successfully. He eliminated the "Threat" of North Korea, Reduced tensions against Israel, stifled the Iranian acquisition of Nuclear weapons, FORCED China to play ball in Trade, Forced Mexico and Canada to play ball with trade, Forced NATO to pony up, Destroyed ISIS, Forced the Taliban to all but completely back off, Forced the EU to play ball in trade with both food and energy, had the Saudi's eating out of his hand, reversed trends in both India and Brazil that were alienating them from the US, GREATLY reduced the drugs and Human trafficking over our southern border, reduced unemployment of minorities to the lowest levels in the country's history and unemployment in general to the second lowest numbers ever over all, only being beaten by WWII. Sound's pretty pro-American to me.
AND: It is KNOWN that the "Russia Collusion Hoax" was paid for and invented by Hillary Clinton and the DNC. This is a known fact. It is also a fact that the DNC and RINO scumbags of the Uniparty - who are all never Trumpers are all (ALL) illegally and immorally benefiting from the war in Ukraine - which would have never happened under Trump's watch and even the majority of DNC pundits agree with that assessment.
4) Ike is the one who warned the US and Kennedy about the military industrial complex. Kennedy acting on that warning got himself and his brother assassinated. - Because Ike's warning was and still is the Truth. A truth this video serves to preserve regardless of your intention.
Bush, Bush & Nixon . . . sure all scumbags . . .no question. That being said . . .
No President is without their skeletons. The job means you can't make everyone happy, and you have to make uncomfortable friends. Name ONE president who hasn't had to do that. If you are honest, you will find just as much dirt on ANY president as you would on Regan or Jim Carter. I have my doubts about your willingness or ability to be honest however.
Funny though that you are 100% blind to the clear treason of the Biden administration. Which is only a little less conspicuous than Obama's anti-American policies. And both of them as well as the Clintons KNOWINGLY took campaign contributions from Chinese spies / Chinese Military / Communist party members. I wonder what the Chinese purchased with those "contributions"?
That is easy to answer when you look at the Clintons. No President in the history of this country did more to prop up the communist Chinese regime than Bill Clinton. And isn't it funny that the greatest "LOSSES" of military intel and strategic locations all occurred under the Clinton, Obama and now Biden administrations?
Name even one Republican President that took campaign contributions from China. I can name at least three Democrat Presidents and at least 12 democratic candidates for President. Yet you have the BALLS to make accusations about the GOP. You are either a shitty liar Mike, or you have lost all ability to be truly objective. Even a cursory level of knowledge unwinds your position are wildly partisan.
Your selective patriotism and selective rage are both so obvious that it defies the explanation of a simple lack of self awareness. Your propaganda is clearly of that of a political activist, who is actually seditious in nature. Maybe you should surround yourself with at least a few people of politically opposed views. I think if you applied your "principles" equally, you would might have points worth listening to. However its clear that at the moment you have no ability to objectively evaluate a subject. Your conformation bias is poisoning your "Logic" and undermines any relative value this video would otherwise have.
Its too bad that your film making genius is so clearly willing to ignore facts that would impugn the DNC and GOP with equal ability. Then you MIGHT actually be able to make a film that had objectivity. The real threat to this country is the Uniparty. If you are NOT simply an apologist for the ruling class, then you would have to vastly increase your ability to be as critical of the DNC as you claim to be of the GOP.
As it stands, your work does nothing to free people from the grip of the top 1%, and sadly actually serve the failing narrative of the kind of heartless and cruel powerful people you CLAIM to oppose.
The short answer is yes, absolutely! These traitors should have been dealt with immediately!
DEMAND AN END TO THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE!
WE THE PEOPLE KNOW HOW TO VOTE FOR OURSELVES!
POPULAR VOTE MEANS YOUR VOTE WAS COUNTED!
I am 59 years old and I lived with each one of these presidents and every time we would get ahead with a Democrat a Republican would come in and pull all the good back
I am 77 years old, and lived with each of these TRAITORS, and all ways they let the government in a worse situation, economic, social.
They're very good to create a big CORRUPTION, and destroy the reputation of the UNITED STATES of AMERICA around the world.
They look like our worst enemies.
What good? Name it and be exact.
@@biderdoo The Democrats do more to maintain the middle class, individual rights, and do not start wars. The Repubs have removed many benefits from the middle class, kept the minimum wage low, and raised the Nat'l debt through
profiteering from overseas wars. Naming specific here would take much space.
Reagan, though, removed wonderful tax deduction benefits in the 80's and took away help for the mentally ill, housed in California. Before Reagan took it away you could actually deduct your credit card interest charges from your income tax.
You could also deduct interest from a second home mtg. There far more but no space.
@@biderdoo That’s her opinion … live with it!
@@ysabeauterazawa7273 lol, typical socialist. Everyone had to live with your b.s.
Thank you, Michael Moore this is a great podcast as always. You are so helpful too. We the people.
What about Bush, Cheney &😢 Rumsfield ???? An a charge for the Hague!!!
Rumsfeld is gone. Only Bush and Cheney left. Not many years for them either. It all sucks.
One of my oldest friends from college's family were close to the Cheney's. He would relate nuggets of wisdom Cheney would drop when the families were together. The favorite Cheney anecdote was while my friend was riding in the back of a jeep with him in an Central American country (fishing trip), Cheney made it a point to correct and elevate my friends perception of the US by stating..."the American people are too dumb to govern themselves" . We still talk about that one to this day.
Thank you so much grand rising family and friends we all need to hear this message. ❤
Rachel Maddow did actually cover what Reagan did re the Embassy hostages. It was also covered in Rolling Stone, the Guardian, on the public broadcaster here in Australia and in our papers, it was covered in the UK. Don't worry, word definitely got out.
Rachel has a great podcast on Spiro Agnew. -- "The Bagman"
Too bad I never saw it.
@@B_Bodziak I loved that. If you haven't listened to her most recent series, Ultra, you should. It's about a US sedition trial in the 1940s. Disheartening for you guys (it failed, it shouldn't have, I'm Australian btw), but utterly fascinating.
Did the BBC by any chance cover it? I’m thinking not.
Watch Rachel Maddow's podcasts "Ultra" and the "Bag Man". Very very informative.
My very first vote at the age of 18 was Jimmy Carter, but then I bought into Reagan’s propaganda and voted for him the next time, which gave him a second term. I regret it to this day.
@K Cuzz. Proud of you ... Made a good choice and learned a lot from your second.
I voted for Carter my first election. And I have been voting mostly Democrat. Until I was persuaded by my Father to vote for HW Bush. And also I actually was persuaded by my sister to vote in 2016 an act I regret ever since. But I'll never do it again ever. 😮
Awww.. propagandas are very powerful. Let's all be very vigilant.
So it's ALL YOUR FAULT!!!
Well, at least you know better NOW. You DO, doncha?
I adulted during Carter and ever since have thought he was the worst ever president - until Trump. But at least Trump did keep our economy in good shape, Carter was absolutely horrendous. My own family has done best financially under Reagan and Clinton.
Steve Kerr's father was a hostage. I will never forget this. I was 18 years old when Carter was President. He was my first vote for the job! I wept when Reagan was Inaugurated.
My first vote was for Nixon. I voted for Carter and have never considered voting for a Republican since. And in hindsight that decision has proven correct.
Raygun is the beginning of soap opera presidents. Constant drama and totally twisted plot lines 🤷♂️
I looked up Malcolm Kerr but didnt see anything about being a hostage. He was murdered in Beirut, Lebanon.
I cried as well. I knew that the new 4 or 8 years would be hell for this country. You and I were proven correct.
Realize the Democrat's Party despised Carter because he was a decent person... the party didn't support his re-election fully, so he lost...
Hitlerite/Communist Jokementia Bribery needed less than a year to prove himself The Worst President in History !!! Carter was relieved to lose that title...
Thank you for informing me about the "Extrapolations" series, Mr. Moore! I began watching it right after I heard about it, and it is gripping and scary in the very real future the series predicts! Terrifying! Episode 2 is so sad I started to tear up (the one about the humpback whale).
I am a new subscriber to this channel as of today; sorry to say I had not heard about it before! I have been a huge fan of yours since "Bowling for Columbine", etc. You are one of the few people who care to tell us the cold hard truth, and be damned where it takes you, or how much animosity it may garner. Keep doing the good hard work! Respect, man!!!
Mr. Moore, thank you for bringing this story to my attention. I was young at the time; but, it's never too late to know the truth or the whole story. It is so sickening to know that history has been twisted by these evil republicans doers. I just thank God, that He has allowed us to learn the truth about these American GANGSTERS 😢
Gangsters are a better breed of people when their crimes are compared
The Republicans are the best disorganized crime family money can buy
Thank you Michael. It is so ugly - and they are not even embarrassed by the ugliness they have created. Thank you.
I don't know how we can bear this news story! Even after the criminal years of Trump.
Fun fact: President Carter championed for hospice and palliative care. If Carter had not pushed to make hospice care available, it might not be the immeasurable service for patients and their families it is today.
congratulations to Mr Trump on his 34 count indictment on New York
Yes, or to say it in an award-winng way, his indictment is the nomination--his conviction will be the win!
Vice President Spiro Agnew was INDICTED for tax fraud and plead GUILTY then resigned. Accountability is cool. History is repeating.
a real over-achiever. we should be proud - verily, proud - of this example to all 'Murica.
He will be President Again because he should be president now if it not because it was stolen from him.
Trump is too humble to accept your congratulations, congratulate the American people.
Thanks so much for bringing this and for bringing relief in a guarantee that the buffoon won’t be at the helm ever again. Keep it going.
Thanks again for what you do.
I am a new listener. And a new subscriber. Carter was the last president we've had that possessed honor and integrity. And we need another one like him. Now.
Jimmy Carter has been the only man I have attached the title of Mr President. An honorable, humble man.
Not true.... President .. Barrack Obama......didn't do those ..... Hypocritical....things the Republicans....said
Their purpose the entire time he served was to get him out ...through any means necessary...... America has been built on still is overcome by racism
Obama and Biden are both honest, honorable men who have upheld our Constitution.
@@merrywalsh2809 nope. If you want to claim them as anything like Carter, you're gonna have to put up evidence. They are shills for the establishment.
@@anthonymorris9061 If you are going to say they are dishonest, you are the one who will have to prove a negative. With precise evidence.
GEORGA purged 87,000 voters from there voter rolls. The majority were black people. And he still lost GEORGA. He said to the Secretary of State there (find me 11,780 votes) he still lost GEORGA.
I remember each of these instances. History does tell it's own story. Like it or not. Bad will be revealed Thanks Michael .
Oh heck nah! Craig Menear the chairman of Home Depot and self proclaimed cousin of 11 year old Jill Robinson and participant in the murder of Jonbenet Ramsey grew up with Michael Moore and both attended college together? Wow!
Thanks for telling the truth.
Unfortunately most people are only interested in social media and nonsense like that.😢
Thank you, Michael. You have such a big heart and brilliant mind. I love listening to you. Great job summarizing a very important NYT article. I hope you get interviews with hostages.
Michael,
I always Iike your episodes. Today I am moved to tears.
I am a survivor of childhood abuse and struggle daily with PTSD and anxiety. I have watched with utter horror what we have been doing to our planet but until now have been unable to help as I was drowning myself.
Thanks you.
First time listener… eye opening, inspiring, real, and heartfelt. Thank you!
I wrote a paper on this in college 7 years ago. The teacher got all mad. Said Nixon did not make deals with the south Vietnam in 68. And Reagan did not trade arms with the Iranians. I deserved a good grade. The school othered me out, as a rabel rouser.
And I hope you have lived well anyway. Thanks for your courage. 💛
incredible your teacher would do the willful blindness to say that, when Reagan admin literally did illegally trade arms with Iran, etc. Reagan admin was by far the most technically corrupt, though Trump was in other ways, not as technical, but pushing the limits of most laws and disrespecting the spirit of laws, and of course breaking every norm of governance that this free society has developed over time.
That sounds very Utah-ish lol
I received a D in History in university, because in my final paper I said that the Constitution was written for and by white, landowners and that they did not consider women, black persons in the phrase ‘all men are created equal.’…sometimes professors are wrong.
I was born in Iran and was in my teens when the Islamic Revolution happened. After the Revolution, the first president was Banisadr who was actually a secular person. Naturally, he did not last long as president. He was only in office for some 18 months. But he held some other positions and at some point he left Iran permanently. Some years before his recent death 2 years ago, during an informal speech at some social event (most likely in the U.S.) he clearly described how Reagan not only sold weapons to Iran and prompted them to start the war with Iraq but also would not allow either of the warring sides to stop the war. According to Banisadr, after just one year both Iran and Iraq were willing to throw in the towel and make peace. But the consecutive Republican governments forced both countries to continue the war as they were selling weapons to both sides. He said that the U.S. told them that stopping the war would be a breach of contract. They forced them to continue the war for 8 years in order to get weapons. Interestingly enough, Iran did not pay the U.S. in cash but in oil.
NOW, Finally precedent Broken. A Former POTUS has NOW been criminally indicted. Can America begin to hold accountable former POTUS's when crimes are committed? I remember the days when the candidates for POTUS where held to a Higher Standard of Moral Character.
You need to do some actual research you have no idea what's going on! This has nothing to do with politics we are way past that this is the New World Order take over the battle between evil and good you have to decide what side you're on
To be immoral is to be president!
Should we hold Biden accountable for taking millions from China? Or how about hindering our progress on the keystone pipeline while lifting sanctions on Russia's pipeline allowing them to have a monopoly on European energy?? Do you think it's strange that the Biden family has long standing back door dealings with Ukraine and just when Biden takes the presidency Russia invades Ukraine and we start sending them millions and millions of dollars?? I'm sure as a left wing nut you probably don't see a problem with any of that.
I am 67 and honestly don't remember such a time. Maybe we pretended to do that.
Well I hope they go after Clinton also
Michael I greatly appreciate your common sense, your decency and your love for America,, THANK YOU! ❤
Wow I can’t believe what I’m hearing. What horrible thing for Reagan to do. And the fact the our media has not blown this up on every channel tells you all u need to know. So disappointed in our government.
Edit: Also, thank you for speaking about this.
Please share this with Midas touch on TH-cam. Please share this with a platform that has over 1 million viewers. If the American people knew the facts and the truth, it would bring them to their knees. Main stream media and fox entertainment, is not going to touch on any of this for fear of losing viewers and money.
Just watching this today Michael. Thank you.
YES SIR, ALL ARE Traitors!
I remember Dad wearing his "I Like Ike" button. He never trusted another Republican to his dying day.
