Michael Moore: Young People Don’t Like the War, Probably Because They’re the Ones that Have to Go Fight

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
MOHYELDIN: “It is an important point that you bring up because I think there is another elephant in the room and in all of the calls we have seen for President Biden to step aside, the issue of what is happening or has been happening in Gaza has not been mentioned. Has taken a backseat, but you address to this. You addressed Gaza in your peace and should Biden’s decision on Gaza have been a warning sign about him long before his bad debate performance? Which is something I was looking at as well, saying there is something off in the decision-making here if you are seeing what is happening across America and still being intransigent and pursuing the same policy with no change of course.”

MOORE: “I’ve been saying in the last weekend I said on this network that there is a real problem now and I don’t think we understand what the problem is. Not only losing young people. The thing about young people is they don’t like war. They don’t like any war, probably because they are the ones that have to go fight the war, so they are generally against the war to begin with. But I come from a state, Michigan, where there are 200 to 300,000 voters who are either of arabic descent or Muslim. 200,000 to 300,000 Arab or Muslim voters. They took a poll the last week of October when the real attack and slaughter started on the part of Netanyahu in Gaza and that showed, they did this with four states with an Arab population. Michigan, Florida, Pennsylvania. And it said that Biden got about 60% of the Arab vote in 2000. As of the last week of October, that had dropped to, people were saying for the November election coming up, less than 20% of Arab-Americans will vote for Biden this time. I was the end of October. They did another at the end of may, a month and a half ago. Same number. Less than 20%. You cannot have in the state of Michigan 300,000 voters that are Arab or Muslim and they are telling you, not only that, vast numbers of them are saying that they are not even going to vote. The funny thing about Trump’s numbers with Arab-American voters in the same pole, he got one third of the Arab-American vote in 2020, Trump. Today, by this poll in may he is still at one third. He has not gone up or down, but the fact that Biden is not going to get and people will stay home and young people recently said, 12% of them, they are going to vote, but they are not going to vote on the top line for president. In Michigan in 2016, this is the year that Trump on Michigan by two votes per precinct over Hillary and in 2016 there were 75,000 michiganders who actually showed up to vote, but refused to vote on the top line and they were mostly people in democratic precincts. They didn’t want to vote for Hillary. Hillary lost Michigan by 10,000 votes.”
