LOT FOR US -- GOOD TO SEE YOU AS ALWAYS MY FRIEND. THE BATTLEGROUND STATE OF MICHIGAN WILL BE ONE TO WATCH THIS NOVEMBER, FOR SEVERAL REASONS. DURING TUESDAY NIGHT'S DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY, MORE THAN 100,000 MICHIGANDERS SENT A MESSAGE TO PRESIDENT BIDEN, CASTING AN UNCOMMITTED VOTE IN PROTEST OF HIS ADMINISTRATION'S HANDLING OF ISRAEL'S WAR ON GAZA. A REMINDER, IN 2020, BIDEN WON MICHIGAN BY FEWER THAN 150,000 VOTES, WHILE HE STILL WON TUESDAY NIGHT'S PRIMARY, THE UNCOMMITTED MOVEMENT DOES NOT STOP WITH MICHIGAN. AND IT WILL NOT, UNTIL BIDEN SHOWS THAT HE HERE IS THE MESSAGE BEING SENT. AS JOE NICHOLS PUTS IT IN THE NATION, THE MESSAGE WAS BLUNT. BIDEN'S PRESIDENCY COULD HANG IN THE BALANCE, IF HE DOES NOT PAY ATTENTION TO VOTERS HE NEEDS IN NOVEMBER. JOINING ME NOW TO DISCUSS THIS IS ACADEMY AWARD WINNING FILMMAKER MICHAEL, MORE HE IS ALSO PART OF THE GROUP LISTENED TO MICHIGAN, WHICH HELPED ORGANIZE THE UNCOMMITTED PUSH. MICHAEL IT'S GREAT TO SEE YOU AGAIN, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR MAKING TIME FOR US. EARLIER THIS WEEK, YOU SAID WOULD IS PARTICIPATING IN IS SOMETHING THAT IS KILLING CIVILIANS, AND CHILDREN. MORE THAN 30,000 PALESTINIANS HAVE NOW BEEN KILLED IN THIS ONGOING WAR. AT THIS POINT, DOES THE PRESIDENT STAND A CHANCE OF WINNING SOME OF, THOSE OR ANY OF THOSE UNCOMMITTED VOTERS. WOULD CALLING FOR A CEASE-FIRE AT THIS MOMENT BE ENOUGH? >> NO. BUT, IT WOULD GO A LONG WAY. I CAN'T SPEAK FOR EVERYBODY WHO VOTED, OBVIOUSLY. WE ORGANIZED THIS CAMPAIGN, LISTEN TO MICHIGAN, MISTER PRESIDENT, PLEASE. WE ORGANIZED THIS IN LESS THAN THREE WEEKS. SO, THIS IS THE MOST AMAZING THING TO HAVE HAPPENED. OVER 100,000 MICHIGANDERS, DEMOCRATS, I WOULD SAY THE VAST MAJORITY OF WHOM VOTED FOR BIDEN IN 2020. TO COME OUT AND VOTE, UNCOMMITTED, TO SEND THAT MESSAGE TO THE PRESIDENT THAT NOT ONLY MUST THERE BE A CEASE- FIRE NOW, BUT WE MUST STOP, AS SENATOR SANDERS SAID EARLIER TODAY, WE MUST STOP SENDING, WE SHOULDN'T SEND ANOTHER, NICHOLAS WHAT HE SAID, IN BOMBS, GUNS, PLANES, BULLETS, TO ISRAEL, UNTIL THEY STOPPED THIS MADNESS. AND I THINK THAT THAT IS HOW PEOPLE FELT, GOING TO THE POLLS ON TUESDAY, OR THAT WE NEEDED TO SEND A STRONG MESSAGE. NOW FOR PEOPLE LISTENING TO THOSE WHO THINK OH, WHY ARE WE THROWING THE ELECTION TO TRUMP. I DON'T KNOW, HONEST, ONE THING I THINK I FEEL SAFE SAYING IS THAT THOSE WHO VOTED UNCOMMITTED ON TUESDAY ARE NOT GOING TO VOTE FOR TRUMP. MY FEAR, AND THE REASON WHY THOSE OF US STARTED THIS CAMPAIGN, IS TO BASICALLY SAVE BIDEN FROM HIMSELF. BECAUSE OF WHAT HE'S DONE, TO SUPPORT THIS MASSACRE, TO FUND IT, TO BE THE BANKER FOR ISRAEL IN THE SLAUGHTER OF THESE PEOPLE. THAT, HE IS ESSENTIALLY GUARANTEEING THAT THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF AMERICANS ARE GOING TO STAY HOME AND NOT VOTE ON AN ELECTION DAY. BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT GOING TO VOTE FOR TRUMP. AND THIS IS HOW TRUMP COULD WIN, BECAUSE THOSE, THOSE HUNDRED AND 50,000 THAT HE WON BY IN 2020, HILLARY LOST MICHIGAN BY JUST 11,000 VOTES. THAT'S TWO VOTES, ON AVERAGE TWO VOTES HER PRECINCT IN MICHIGAN, THAT'S IT. THAT'S HOW CLOSE THIS COULD BE. AND TO HAVE 100,000 PLUS COME OUT ON TUESDAY AND SAY YOU KNOW WHAT, OUR CONSCIENCE WILL NOT ALLOW US TO SUPPORT THIS. AND, IF PEOPLE SAY WELL, SO DOES YOUR CONSCIOUS ALLOW YOU TO LET TRUMP WIN? NO, NO. WHAT IT MEANS, ACTUALLY TO ME PERSONALLY, IS THAT NOW I'VE GOT TO DOUBLE AND QUADRUPLE MY EFFORTS TO MAKE SURE TRUMP LOSES. BECAUSE BIDEN IS WORKING AGAINST ME. BIDEN IS WORKING AGAINST THE DEMOCRATS. THE DEMOCRATS IN MICHIGAN, FIRST OF ALL, 75% OF THE PEOPLE IN MICHIGAN, ACCORDING TO THE LAST POLL I SAW, ARE, THEY WANT A CEASE-FIRE, AND WANT THE MASSACRE TO STOP. THAT'S REPUBLICANS, AND DEMOCRATS. >> SO. >> THE FACT THAT JOE BIDEN ISN'T LISTENING TO THE PEOPLE, IT'S A SAD THING. IT'S GOING TO HURT HIM, IF HE DOESN'T CHANGE, AND CHANGE NOW. AND GOING ON TV A COUPLE OF DAYS BEFORE THE PRIMARY, WITH SETH MEYERS, POOR SETH. STUCK WITH THE ICE CREAM CONE, WITH BIDEN. AND, WHEN BIDEN PROMISED THAT THERE WOULD BE A CEASE-FIRE BY THIS MONDAY. I JUST, FROM YOUR REPORTING HERE ON MSNBC, THAT DOESN'T SOUND LIKE THAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN. >> >> AND SO, YOU KNOW, WHAT DO WE, WHO DON'T WANT TRUMP BACK IN HERE DO AT THIS POINT? BECAUSE, AND AGAIN I CAN'T SPEAK ON BEHALF OF THE ARAB AND MUSLIM AMERICANS IN MICHIGAN, WHO VOTED. BUT I'VE HEARD FROM ENOUGH OF THEM, AND I'VE HEARD FROM ENOUGH YOUNG PEOPLE OF ALL ETHNICITIES AND RACES, AND GENDERS. YOUNG PEOPLE HATE WAR, MAINLY BECAUSE THEY'RE THE ONES SENT TO WAR, TO DIE IN THOSE WARS. >> CAN I ASK YOU ABOUT THAT REAL QUICK THOUGH. CAN I ASK YOU. YOU BRING UP A REALLY IMPORTANT POINT THAT I WANT TO ASK YOU ABOUT. BECAUSE, HOW BROAD IS THIS COALITION? THERE IS THIS PERCEPTION, CERTAINLY SOME IN THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA ARE TRYING TO PORTRAY THIS AS AN ARAB AMERICAN THING, OR A MUSLIM AMERICAN THING. >> NO. >> SAYING HEY, THE GUY ON THE OTHER SIDE WANTS TO DEPORT YOU. YOU ARE A PART OF THIS, YOU TELL US, HOW BROAD IS THIS COALITION THAT IS BEHIND THIS UNCOMMITTED VOTE? WHO IS IT? >> LISTEN, I'M, I'M GOING TO TELL TALES OUT OF SCHOOL HERE. THOSE OF US WHO WERE INVOLVED AND HELPED ORGANIZED AND PROMOTE THIS ON TUESDAY, THE LISTEN TO MICHIGAN CAMPAIGN, WE WERE HOPING TO GET MAYBE 10 TO 15,000 VOTES, THAT WAS IT. A FEW PEOPLE, THE OPTIMISTS, THOUGHT MAYBE 30,000. THE FACT THAT IT WAS OVER 100,000 MEANS IT WAS -- IT WASN'T JUST THE 9000 PEOPLE IN DEARBORN, OR THE OTHER ARAB CITIES IN MICHIGAN, WHICH HAVE AN ARAB AMERICAN MAYOR, AND AN ARAB AMERICAN CITY COUNCIL. -- NO, THIS WAS, OF COURSE IT WAS MUSLIMS, IT WAS ARAB AMERICANS. BUT IT WAS ALSO VAST, VAST NUMBERS OF YOUNG PEOPLE, WHO JUST SAID THAT'S, IT I'M OUT, I'M NOT GOING TO VOTE FOR TRUMP, BUT I'M OUT OF THIS. IF THIS GUY IS GOING TO CONTINUE THE WAR, IF HE IS GOING TO CONTINUE TO EMBRACE NETANYAHU, I WILL NOT PARTICIPATE IN THIS. AND SO YOU HAD YOUNG PEOPLE, YOU HAD PROGRESSIVES, YOU HAD ALL KINDS OF DEMOCRATS, AS I SAID, THE VAST MAJORITY OF DEMOCRATS IN ALL OF THE POLLS ARE AGAINST BIDEN FUNDING AND ARMING THIS WAR. SO, WHY WOULDN'T BIDEN LISTEN TO THIS? HE WOULDN'T EVEN ACKNOWLEDGE IT, WHEN HE WON THE PRIMARY. AND THANKING THE PEOPLE OF MICHIGAN, HE JUST IGNORED THE HUNDRED THOUSAND PEOPLE. IF, AS MICHEL GOLDBERG SAID IN THE NEW YORK TIMES LAST FRIDAY, IF HE LOSES MICHIGAN, HE LOSES THE ELECTION. WHY WOULD YOU RISK THAT, PRESIDENT BIDEN? WHY? WHY, THIS IS WHAT WE NEED -- THIS IS, WHAT YOU SHOULD DO IS THE MORAL THING, WHICH IS STOP THE CARPET BOMBING, STOP THE SLAUGHTER, MAKE SURE AID COMES IN. DON'T BE DROPPING AID WITH PARACHUTES LIKE IT WAS SOME KIND OF LOONEY TUNES CARTOON. YOU KNOW, YOU'VE GOT 2 MILLION PEOPLE STARVING TO DEATH, AND YOU ARE DROPPING A FEW HUNDRED PARACHUTES. IS THAT A JOKE? IS THAT LIKE YOUR ICE CREAM ANNOUNCING WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A CEASE-FIRE BY MONDAY? THIS IS NOT FUNNY. THIS IS NOT A JOKE. AND THE YOUNG PEOPLE OF MICHIGAN, THE PEOPLE OF COLOR IN MICHIGAN. I MEAN, IN MICHIGAN WE HAVE WHAT, 13, 14 BLACK CITIES, MAJORITY BLACK CITIES. DETROIT, FLINT, SAGINAW, -- PONTIAC. THESE ARE AFRICAN AMERICAN CITIES. THEY DON'T SUPPORT THIS. IT'S, BUT THEY SUPPORT BIDEN, I SUPPORT BIDEN. WE VOTED FOR BIDEN, WE WANT TO VOTE FOR HIM AGAIN. AND, BUT A LOT OF PEOPLE, AND THIS IS WHAT I WAS SAYING ABOUT OUR FRIENDS IN THE DETROIT AREA, WHO ARE PALESTINIAN. WHO HAVE FAMILY MEMBERS WHO HAVE DIED IN THESE LAST, ALMOST FIVE MONTHS. FAMILY MEMBERS THAT HAVE BEEN KILLED BY THEIR -- INDIAN BORN, AND DETROIT, THEY ARE TAX DOLLARS. THEY HELPED TO FUND THE SLAUGHTER OF THEIR -- OF THEIR, COUSINS THEIR NIECES, AND I'M JUST ASKING ANYBODY WHO'S WATCHING THIS RIGHT, NOW WHO'S NOT, AIR NOT MUSLIM, IF YOU DISCOVERED THAT THE UNITED STATES, YOUR COUNTRY FUNDED, AND CARRIED OUT, THROUGH THE PRODUCTION OF THESE ARMS THAT ARE GIVEN TO ISRAEL, CARRIED OUT THE SLAUGHTER OF YOUR GRANDPARENTS. TELL ME WHAT YOU WOULD DO. TELL ME HOW WOULD YOU VOTE, OR WOULD YOU MAYBE NOT VOTE AT ALL, AND JUST SIT IT OUT BECAUSE YOU ARE SO UPSET, SO DISGUSTED, WITH THE MURDER OF INNOCENT CIVILIANS, TWO THIRDS OF WHOM ARE CHILDREN AND WOMEN AND ELDERLY. YOU KNOW, I MEAN THESE ARE REAL PEOPLE, DETROITER'S, WHO HAVE LOST HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE, WHO HAVE LOST, OR HAVE WOUNDED FAMILY MEMBERS, OR WHO ARE STARVING TO DEATH RIGHT NOW IN GAZA. WHERE WOULD, JUST ASKING YOU, FELLOW WHITE PEOPLE, WHAT WOULD YOU DO? WHAT WOULD YOU DO? AND WHY IS THERE EVEN, WHY IS THERE AN OPEN AIR PRISON CALLED GAZA, FOR 15 YEARS? YOU KNOW, WHEN PEOPLE ARE IN PRISON, THIS CAUSE THEY'VE COMMITTED A CRIME. CAN SOMEBODY RIGHT NOW TELL ME WHAT THE CRIME IS THAT THE PALESTINIAN PEOPLE, AS A GROUP OF PEOPLE, HAVE COMMITTED? WHAT IS THE CRIME? BECAUSE ACCORDING TO MY KNOWLEDGE OF HISTORY, THE ENEMIES OF ISRAEL, WHO HAVE BEEN PERSECUTING THE ISRAELIS, THE JEWISH PEOPLE OF THIS WORLD WHO HAVE BEEN PERSECUTED FOR 5000 YEARS. BUT FOR THE LAST 2000 YEARS, MOST OF THE PERSECUTION HAS COME FROM WHITE, EUROPEAN- CENTRIC, CHRISTIANS THAT'S BEEN YOUR ENEMY. NOT -- NO PALESTINIAN HELP TO BUILD AUSCHWITZ, NO PALESTINIAN STATE ON THE DOCKS OF NEW YORK CITY, WHEN BOATLOADS OF JEWISH REFUGEES TRIED TO ESCAPE THE HOLOCAUST, CAME HERE, TO BE PROTECTED BY THIS COUNTRY, AND WERE TURNED AWAY FROM THE DOCKS IN YORK, AND SENT BACK TO GERMANY TO DIE. NO PALESTINIAN DID, THAT NO PALESTINIAN RAN THE SPANISH INQUISITION. YOUR ENEMY, YOUR ENEMY IS NOT THE PALESTINIAN PEOPLE. IT IS WHITE CHRISTIAN EUROPEAN PEOPLE, WHO HAVE BEEN SLAUGHTERING JUICE FOR THE LAST 2000 YEARS. AND LET'S JUST CALL IT FOR WHAT IT IS. WHY ARE THEY IN AN OPEN AIR PRISON? WHY ARE 2 MILLION OF THEM IN AN OPEN AIR PRISON? AND I'M SORRY TO GO ON SO LONG, BUT -- >> YOU BRING UP SO MANY IMPORTANT POINTS, I KNOW WE CAN TALK ABOUT THIS FOR HOURS. BUT I DID JUST WANT TO GET YOUR FINAL THOUGHT ABOUT THIS. BECAUSE IT IS KIND OF BECOMING SUCH AN IMPORTANT ISSUE. IN THE PRIMARIES. DO YOU THINK JOE BIDEN IS GAMBLING TO AMERICAN DEMOCRACY? GIVEN THE FACT THAT THE ALTERNATIVE IS A GUY WHO SAYS HE'S GOING TO BE A DICTATOR, IS A GUY WHO SAYS HE'S GOING TO BE AN AUTHORITARIAN ON DAY ONE. DO YOU THINK DONALD TRUMP IS THE THREAT THAT HE IS, AND JOE BIDEN IS GAMBLING BY ALIGNING HIMSELF CLOSELY WITH NETANYAHU AT THE RISK OF AMERICAN DEMOCRACY? >> ABSOLUTELY. AND, GAMBLING BY ALIGNING HIMSELF WITH AN AUTHORITARIAN IN TEL AVIV. SOMEBODY WHO IS FACING A NUMBER OF FELONIOUS CHARGES, WHO WAS SUPPOSED TO STAY ON TRIAL THIS PAST FALL, AND THAT ALL GOT SHOVED ASIDE, BECAUSE NOW THERE IS A WAR. AND SO WE CAN PUT OUR PRIME MINISTER ON TRIAL. JOE BIDEN, AND I'M JUST, I PLEAD WITH HIM, DO NOT PUT TRUMP BACK IN THE WHITE HOUSE. YOU ARE, I AM NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO GO ON ENOUGH SHOWS ON TV, BETWEEN NOW IN THE ELECTION, TO CONVINCE LITERALLY MILLIONS OF YOUNG PEOPLE THAT YOU'VE GOT TO VOTE, BECAUSE TRUMP IS A BAD GUY. WELL, DO YOU KNOW ANY YOUNG PEOPLE, AND THOSE OF YOU WATCHING RIGHT NOW, YOU SHOULD TALK TO THEM. YOU SHOULD SEE WHAT THEY THINK ABOUT THIS. AND IT SHOULD FRIGHTEN YOU. BECAUSE, AND THERE'S NOTHING -- WE NEED TO DO TO CONVINCE YOUR SON OR DAUGHTER, NIECE OR NEPHEW TO DO THE RIGHT THING. MANY OF US WILL DO THAT, WE WILL BE OUT THERE, WE WILL TRIPLE OUR EFFORTS TO HELP MAKE SURE TRUMP DOESN'T COME BACK IN THE WHITE HOUSE, BUT WHY DO WE HAVE TO DO? THIS WHY CAN'T BIDEN JUST STOP IT RIGHT NOW? CALL FOR THE CEASE-FIRE! NO MORE MONEY FOR ARMAMENTS TO ISRAEL! AND INSISTS THAT ISRAEL, GO TO ITS CORE. YOU ARE THE, YOU ARE THE RELIGION THAT HAS ALWAYS STOOD FOR SOMETHING, THAT'S STOOD FOR CIVIL, RIGHTS THAT'S STOOD FOR EVERYTHING. AND IT'S LIKE, IT'S,. I >> HEAR YOU. I KNOW, I SENSE THE FRUSTRATION IN YOUR VOICE MICHAEL. LET'S HOPE THE PRESIDENT IS WATCHING, OR CERTAINLY SOMEBODY AROUND HIM IS WATCHING THIS, AND CAN GET THAT MESSAGE TO HIM. IT'S ALWAYS A
