“Arrogant, narcissistic.” Michael Moore Slams Biden For Staying in Race

- On last week’s episode of ‘Mehdi Unfiltered,’ acclaimed filmmaker Michael Moore joined Mehdi for a conversation about Biden’s fitness for office. Moore added his name to a growing number of Hollywood stars calling for the president’s resignation after his “heartbreaking” CNN debate with Donald Trump.
Biden’s refusal to step down amid mounting pressure from Democrats, Moore said, was “Trumpian behavior.”
The two also spoke about Israeli president Benjamin Netanyahu’s upcoming speech to Congress. Moore, who has spoken out about Gaza, said Biden’s role in the war could cost him young votes in November.

It's disgusting Netanyahu he should never be coming to America its just getting worse watching a young mother pick up the. Remains of her baby putting it into a plastic bag people laughing its such a disgrace

This is damn good media! Clear, concise, logical, cogent. And to hear someone call Netanyahu a Bastard. Ohhh thank you.
Are Hamas thugs also bastards?
"Loving" a politician is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard of.
This is how cult members talk.
Michael Moore has always been spot-on politically and he's treated like he's an extremist by Washington.
Michael is absolutely right. A person who cared about him would not let him on the stage in that condition.
Yep. Setting him up for failure. Cruel.
THen vote for trump , thats it. Oh, I see, you were going to anyway?
Michael Moore is 100% in totality absolutely, down to every single word SPOT on with this entire analysis. He has stated clearly perfectly EXACTLY what is going on here AND what needs to happen right NOW.
Thank you 🖤
Um no, his idealizations of biden were grossly exaggerated...sure he was more progressive than any president but thats not necessarily because he cares about the issue, he does it because he wants to garner votes from that group.
Joe Biden is not progressive. He did very little on the minimum wage. If you couldn't get $15, what about $11. He very happily gave it up. Whatever happened to the public option in health insurance? Then there's his work on climate change, drill baby drill. The US has never produced more oil. His plan for Medicare is to force all of us to report to a private insurer by 2030. He
s one of a very few Democrats who would veto "Medicare for all" if a bill got to his desk.
NOBODY is as arrogant and grandiose as trump,no. Who in their right mind refers to to Hannibal Lectern as great!
LBJ was the most progressive president of my 75-year lifetime, and like Biden, his downfall was his foreign policy.
He did have the decency to step aide though.
LBJ did a lot for civil rights. He said racist things, but he was fair. Joe set civil rights back, and looks down on civil rights.
LBJ did a lot for civil rights. He said condescending language, but that didn't affect his civil rights policy. Joe set civil rights back.

Overwhelmed and tired of warching how the world is lacking justice and humanity, I felt so emotional while watching this debate...humanity cannot thank Mehdi enough and many other journalists for fighting hard to bring the truth to the attention of the. It will be a long and tough journey, but justice will win in the end. There is no doubt about it. God bless our humanity 🙏
I just listened to Dr. Fauci on NPR. He is 83. Biden is 81. No comparison whatsoever!!!!
you shouldn't listen to him either. He lied to you for the last 4 years

Amen.
I worked for a State Senator in his 80s who had lost a step-- several steps actually, and he was also defiant in his unwillingness to step down. This person believed he was the only one who could do the job, that he was indispensable, and everyone around him kept telling him how great he was, until he got term-limited out.
“The cemeteries of the world are full of indispensable men” --Charles De Gaulle
Nice bot response. This is posted on several videos. Hello vlad
You always been and you are a humble person. A Big Big Thank to you Michael Moore
Intelligent and humble, this creative man is a role model.
@@chrisfromnoosa1905intelligent amd humble? 😂
Mehdi great job!!
ZETEO the best new podcast around!
Both of you great men. You have all my respect. Thanks God America has people like you that makes America great.
Im very disappointed with Michael Moore. If Biden needs to step down so does Trump. They both need a medical evaluation, more so Trump!!
And the only third party candidate is nuts, too.
Question for Michael. What do Arab voters think Trump will do with the Israel situation if he gets elected?! This is a ridiculous position.
The Biden hypocrisy is not shocking but shameless and disgusting . And I agree with MM about everything he said including Mehdi keep going as u r bravely doing so ! Bravo & God bless for ur service towards bringing us the Truth.
Gods don’t exist. Delusions do
@@democracydignityhumanrights god bless inane stupidity? Is this your message?
I am finding that whatever constructive point I politely raise on left leaning social media sites that merely questions whether Biden is the best candidate going forward, is immediately jumped upon by a vociferous and actually quite disparaging Pro-Biden crowd. That is, if it isn't removed first. It seems pretty clear that Trump wants to Biden to continue and yet somehow, I'm a 'bot' or a 'troll' for having the temerity to offer a different perspective. It's like we're heading towards "Dear Leader" territory on the blue side, which aligns with Mehdi's 'Blue Maga' observation. Is it just me? I'm beginning to feel as if there's some orchestrated Russian bot campaign, flooding the zone with Pro-Biden sentiment, as a Trump victory is very much in their interests.
Thanks Mr Michael for your insight and support for Palestinian rights.
For most men to live past 84 is not very common
He simply doesn't want to quit.
@@syedsalam3199 Hmmm... more like the Oligarchs of the Military-Industrial Complex don't want him to step down. He has always served their needs rather than those of working Americans. Many don't know Biden was a key player in why student loans can't be discharged in bankruptcy, not to mention his performance getting Clarence Thomas on the Supreme Court. He is only "not-Trump".
So what?
What does that have to do with an individual person?
So, Kamala is qualified to take over. That's why the role of VP exists. Go figure.
It is more and more common now and there are men more healthy then Biden above his age. Bernie is older and is in much better shape.
So glad to see Michael Moore here.
Free Free Palestine!!!
Wil never happen
...from the river to the sea
Shooo Troll
Troll..... away begone
Great people together. May God bless you for standing for the opressed.
I do not think these guys are "standing for the oppressed" so much as they are expressing some truth. The line between who is the oppressed and who is the oppressor can be very blurry.
I don’t think Mehdi should downplay graduating from Oxford, any more than John Oliver should downplay graduating from Cambridge. These are world-renowned prestigious schools, what’s wrong with that?
I think he meant that that is not always the best indicator. Many people like Michael did not go to a prestigious college or even to college and have done plenty and can hold their ground with those that have. But I agree it’s not something that should be dismissed, especially if you come from humble beginnings.
A LOT. And the deal is that some of the worst bastards came out of Ivy-League institutions and grooming.
They're trying to use media effectively and not rest on decidedly shitty laurels.
I certainly would never call Biden “narcissistic! Never!
This guy wants controversy and I don't see his solution other than getting off his thumb. 17:57 time
He's holding up our chance to defeat chance for his ego and unwillingness to let go of power.
@@aarona1895 excuse me . … he was the one who defeated trump.
And in a matter of minutes done say he must go snd some say he must stay.

Michael Moore is a national treasure.
Thank you very much to Mehdi Hasan and Michael Moore for the truthful statement!
Biden has said he has done more for Palestinians than "anyone" since this episode. One of the most Trumpian lines ever.
Biden has always been just another version of Trump. Just as egotistical and just as ignorant.
Excellent discussion, thank you Mehdi and Michael. I've missed Mehdi's concise commentary and so glad I found him again.
Such a great interview, respectfully disagreeing, challenging, offering different viewpoints.. this should be the standard for mainstream news channels
It is extremely regretfully that Biden has not keep his Promise to We the Voters who put him into office in 2020. In his words " I am a one term President" and "a Transition President".
It is ashame that Biden in his defiance, delusions, arrogance and belligerence is exhibiting trumpian characteristics.
He needs to Step Down Now.
💯 correct. It's part of the reason I went with him
🇺🇲 ⌚️
😂😂
Are you saying that you voted for an *EGO MANIAC* who doesn't want to *GIVE UP POWER* ?
😜
Biden NEVER pledged to be a one-term president.
Those are NOT his words.
He did state he would be a transition president to the next generation.
That IS what he is doing. Got us away from and survived Trump.
And mentoring the young superstars coming up.

@@donnavorce8856 Incorrect.
Mehdi, I have tremendous respect for both you, and Michael Moore, and it is wonderful to see you both conversing on the disastrous Biden Campaign. Michael in my opinion is astute, and correct when he stated that Joe Biden is supremely contemptuous, arrogant, and narcissistic. I also agree with Michael Moore's assessment that Joe Biden is currently unfit to currently be America's Commander In chief. Mehdi, I am a Digital Color Expert with 41 years experience with extremely high end retouching and manipulation. It was apparent to me well over a year ago that Joe Biden's facial expressions and gait were beyond troubling. The man was lost on any given stage, and was wholly unaware of the bizarre facial expressions he was displaying. Get Him Out.
You may have a point but I like many others believe we will definitely loose if Biden steps down now. There is no way the bigoted USA will vote Kamala in office. So our best bet is to win with Biden. Trump has the same aging problems as Biden and Biden is better than Trump
"supremely contemptuous, arrogant, and narcissistic"
All successful US politician are, especially presidents and those that want to be.
I have great respect to both of you as well , President Biden had a very bad night. I would like to suggest to you all to go to Shrinking Trump Podcast with Dr'. John Garner and Dr. Harry Segal and see their analysis of what is going on with President Biden. It is not cognitive decline, he is not a narcissist. Trump is the one with deep mental issues. Listen to the podcast with an open mind.
@@bettyplant4793 I did and I've been referring to this article in comments, also.
"supremely contemptuous, arrogant, and narcissistic" - sounds like Michael Moore and Hassan
Is the USA grown up enough for a woman to be president?
Unfortunately, not at this time.
No. And that’s not even the point. The donor class don’t even want Kamala. They want an open convention.
Sure. But certainly not a cackling hyena.
@@deadreckoning6288 she's better than felon trump.
If she's a QUALIFIED candidate - yes! And Garrus is NOT that wo.an nor was Clinton!
Nothing but respect and gratitude to both of you speaking truth, I wish this honesty and integrity was to be found in this bloody government.
Zeteo ❤❤❤
I appreciate your work so much Michael Moore and Mehdi Hasan. A million Thank Yous.
Moore can make a point better than most ppl
At times I think Michael Moore is spot on and sometimes I think he is a jerk. This is one of those times.
Biden in the interview with Lester Holt couldn't remember the name of his secretary of defense again and he called him ..the black guy...😮wtf...
I absolutely agree!- Biden should gracefully gratefully step aside and honor Kamala Harris as the Democratic nominee for 2024.
I believe VP Harris has the intelligence, experience and skills to be a wonderful president. Unfortunately, America is rife with misogyny, and I don't think they are ready to accept a female president.
Thank you,Michael Moore, for saying the exact things I have been thinking. What is it going to take to change this man’s mind?
The leader of the free world shouldn't have good/bad days and senior moments. You don't bring a knife to a gunfight. Biden is too old!!! Jeannine
ok Michael!
Here's the thing.
NOBODY on the Democrat platform threw their hats into the ring!!!
Now they are all talk!
That's a pretty cheap shot comparing President Biden to tRUMP!
Here's the thing: even when Biden gets well, it's probably still going to look like trump is the only one who's actually doing the job to get re-elected. For obvious reasons. Invidious oratory scrutiny by the media will prevent further campaigning from Biden and that's a circle that can't be squared by anyone
Joe doesn't want to give up on us. Some would call him by pejoratives, but this is'n't easy. He stood by us, let's do the right thing by Joe, whatever that turns out to be, with grace, dignity, and empathy.
Thank you for stating the obvious, out loud.
I'm puzzled Michael can't say children are being killed in Gaza he keeps calling them "young people ".
He has an uncomfortable detachment for those suffering the most from Zionist genocide. He keeps talking about "Muslim and Arab voters" as if their biggest problem is senile politicians not catering to them ... not the heartless slaughter of their helpless families. All while he mumbles how he's "steeped" in Holocaust culture and brags about the excellent Israeli newspapers he reads every day.
The problem with Biden isn't his age!
I always liked Moore but i felt he was trying to give us a good image of Biden’s past which in reality is much obscure. When Biden refused to receive Netanyahu at the WH it wasn’t because he is comitting a genocide but because he was still dreaming to have muslim american votes. Biden is a butcher just like Netanyahu and he ´s not better than Trump. So pkease, stop sugarcoating this man.
At 15:15 he says babies.
Children are being defined as under 18. Legally children are usually under 14 in most countries.
We are all Palestinians!!
🍉🍉
No!
Just as: “Ich Bein ein Berliner!”- JFK on the Berlin Airlift! Now THERE… was a prez!
Hell no we are not all Palestinians. We are not all Israelis either.
Speak for yourself.
this is all pointless discussion, US politics is completely broken for last 2 plus decades. none of this will turn out well
Knowing that nothing gets better ,I'm terrified for the future of the young
Only 2 decades? You mean since day 1.
Thank you both. #FreePalestineNOW
I like Mi Moore , he is a great human being!
Michael, you did not “out Lichtman Lichtman in 2016.” Allan Lichtman predicted a Trump win, just like you did.
Talk of narcissism….he was the only one who knew Trump would win. Lichtman predicted Trump would win. Why is he lying?
He did pretty good in that press interview 💯
Bottom line is vote blue no matter who.
Former Dem here. I'm voting straight red ticket all the way. Why would I support a corrupt party like the Dems?
Thank you both for the power of your messages!
My dad is 89. He gets tired, but he speaks and thinks clearly. I live with him. An aunt has alzheimers and dementia which affected her speech and her personality. Biden does things that remind me of the dementia I experienced when dealing with my aunt. 😢
Smartest guy in media right there
Does moore understand he doesnt speak for the party?
Do you?
@@kieranoconnor4334 moore presumes to, do you?

These are two men who are doing everything in their power to move US policy to the left. This was a great discussion, you've got a new sub.

Moore is so right. He always has been.
Michael Moore is excellent as usual
The Democratic party needs solidarity right now. Vote for Biden and keep drumph out of the White House!
Michael Moore: Biden doesn't actually use twitter.
So proud to be a Michigander with people like Michael Moore representing us
Oh yes, I think Maga people are Demanding Whitmore and the state of Michigan, for allowing people to register to vote in the VA building?
It is totally, legal, to register in a government office to vote, but legality is not their thing,. Also, they try to reduce the number of people that vote, starting with the veterans , plus they need to have some reason when they scream fraud, once they lose.
Great guest, learned a lot
Biden has either lost his mind or become more like Trump, arrogant and narcissistic. Either way, he needs to step down
well, you got your wish and probably handed Trump the White House. Good job.
Couldn't agree more with Michael Moore. It is time for Biden to step aside.
Even though the most accurate predictor of presidential elections, Allan Lichtman, has said it would be a terrible decision and would hand the presidency to Trump?
Great interview, thank you!
Not her. !!!!!
Sending love to you both from Portugal! Totally agree with everything you said! ✊🏽✊🏽 oh and free Palestine
Poor Michael... Stuck in the past. He characterized Ralph Nader similarly for staying in the 2000 race
Michael Moore at last!❤
Watch Howard Stern's interview with President Biden. You'll see a different side of him, and wil gain a better understanding of his tenacious mindset. He has endured great loss in his life, and has displayed incredible strength and resiliency in the face of tragedy.
Neither one of these narcissistic old men should run for anything because they can’t even run
Also, how would replacing Biden With Harris change the Arab voting position?
Great question. She has only said maybe few things that indicate maybe she is more sympathetic to Palestinians but she has always been a person that goes with the flow. It may depend on what she says once she is running and who she picks as her running mate. Muslims might take a chance because they know what Trump thinks( most of them).
@@bosnianlady10 but Biden's stance towards Palestinians is also far more friendly than Trump's.
@@keithferris9574 genocide is just too much to even comment on it. It can always be worse but it’s so bad that I can’t even look at the guy. I am genocide survivor and a Muslim , it’s too personal.
wow. I am in COMPLETE alignment with Michael Moore. 😎
As long as he runs of course we will support Biden. His policies are progressive, grounded and no comparison to the Republicans.. this is what its about. However Michael seems to have a good sense of election outcomes, so if stepping down is what is needed than perhaps he should.
They put him on that stage to show world it is time for Biden to step aside
Thinkinh that Mikey might be suffering from a bit of narcissism himself
great interview!! 👍🇵🇸
I have an RBG "doll" too, but mine is a bobblehead. I keep her on my desk and I talk to her occasionally. No, she didn't retire when she should have, but her legacy is still remarkable.
10:58 I'm not an American but I thought that the presidency is decided on the number of electoral votes, not the popular vote. So Trump can still win the presidency even if he gets fewer votes than Biden as long as he wins enough states to get 270 electoral votes.
YES,YES, MICHAEL absolutely true !!!
Agree with Michael Moore. Thank you ❤️
"What I saw, and anyone who has seen their grandparents or parents in that state, knows what's going on..." BINGO! That is the precise argument I've been using since the debate. It wasn't that he had a "bad day" or "was tired" or jetlagged, it was that his brain is starting to shut down for periods as he ages and it only accelerates going forward...saw my mother go through that in her final years. Fortunately, she wasn't the leader of the free world but the bad news is that Biden supposedly is. My question: who's really in charge? Cause another thing I learned from watching Mom grow old was how easy it is to manipulate people in that state of mind. Mom tended to be in agreement with whomever she last spoke to.
It's too late! There's no time to start a replacement process. This push-away now stirs uncertainty and invites weakness.
I am reminded of the arrogance and narcissim of RBG refusal to retire and the ultimate impact that choice had on Roe v Wade. It seems to me that an unquestionably strong, focused, and prepared person would be the Democrats choice for navigating the existential threats they keep articulating. There is a point when age and experience (presumed wisdom) are just not enough.
RBG was a horrible old bag. Selfish. Arrogant. Actually ineffective. Racist. She was not the icon everyone thinks she was.
The role of VP exists for this reason. No panic.
Spare us your horrible labels. Blaming RBG and Biden for Mitch McConnell and Trump, it is insult upon injury. Get your head straight. Geeze, Biden takes shots and ALL responsibility for the failings of all of you !! You who can’t even stop Trumpers in your own family, community… why don’t we do OUR JOB ( Biden doing his) and stop spectating and speculating .
Still will have lost 5-4
@@JC-justchillin yes Blame RBG not Mitch McConnell, Heritage Foundation…Maybe start punching up? and stop blaming ONE person.
Yes, Biden…RBG… is the issue, for smaller minds.
I would love to have Biden step aside because I also think he will lose. But I also have to avoid the attacks that I got in 2016 for voicing my concerns about a Clinton. We are now at the point where every critique will be viewed as a sign of disloyalty
Glad to find I'm not the only one who noticed Biden's similarities to Trump 2021 or Shillary in 2017!
There’s a lot he hasn’t done nationally, he could’ve really fought to keep women’s rights over their own body, there’s a lot of indigenous rights that he has let his administration chip away at and as far as climate he’s chipped away that as well
Great conversation, and definitely not voting for the top ticket.
michael in our days we called this a ' stubborn old bastard' why is everyone narcisstic nowadays
sorry but my grandmother and mother older than that were all right on the ball so don't use age.
They need to give other people a chance not just Kamala. I don’t like her at all.
Michael is right, it was heartbreaking to see Joe in his current state. It shows how blind, calus and self serving Joe's inner circle is that they allowed him to go onto that stage in his current state. No one who cares about Joe or winning the election and is thinking clearly would have encouraged / advised him to run or allowed him to debate. Just like when my mom, who was suffering with dementia, argued with me that she was fine and didn't need to move in with me and my wife, Joe isn't capable of seeing his own frailty and faults any longer.
