On this episode of the Best Of The Morning X, Barnes, Leslie, and Jimmy sit down with renowned filmmaker and author Michael Moore, known for his critical takes on corporate America. Moore shares behind-the-scenes insights from his latest film, highlighting his face-to-face confrontation with Nike CEO Phil Knight about factory labor conditions in Indonesia. They delve into Moore’s approach to corporate greed and the downward spiral it can create for working Americans, emphasizing how high profits often come at the expense of the workforce. Moore also discusses the broader issue of corporations prioritizing profits over fair wages and job security, and how these practices contribute to increased debt and financial strain for many American families.

This is from the Best of The Morning X vault.
