In the first video Moore also talks about the politicians and candidates and why they won't do anything to get something done on universal healthcare. He also talks about how the Democrats were elected to end the war and that they need to find their spine before the next election. He also talks about why Americans are afraid of the term socialized medicine.

Next Michael weighs in on the Presidential candidates views on nationalized healthcare, and how our system compares to other countries in the world. He and Matthews talk about what the trade offs are to go to nationalized healthcare. He also weighs in on how doctors who are general practitioners are paid in this country. A Republican member of the audience who doesn't agree with Moore weighs in and does a pretty lousy job of defending her position.

Here Moore talks about which candidate (Kucinich) has the best health care plan and what people can do to support universal health care and House Resolution 676. Moore also talks about the insurance companies and how they're making decisions for doctors.

Here Chris Matthews reports on Bush's recent veto threat and Cindy Sheehan's arrest at Conyer's office. Michael Moore weighs in on impeachment. He feels that Bush and Cheney should be impeached and tried for war crimes.

And here they have a little dust up after an audience member asks about the healthcare industy's influence on the media. Matthews seems to get his feathers ruffled a bit on this but doesn't seem to be able to rebutt Moore very well either.

I thought Moore was excellent on tonight's show, and it's too bad Tweety doesn't do more shows like this where he gives someone a chance to have a meaningful debate on important issues.

UPDATE: From Terre (h/t) here is the link for Hardblogger's Highlights of Michael Moore on Hardball Plaza if you want to read more about the show.
