♪ ♪ ♪ >> Stephen: HEY, EVERYBODY,
WE'RE BACK WITH SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE NANCY PELOSI ON OUR
SPECIAL LIVE "LATE SHOW"."
MADAM SPEAKER, THANKS AGAIN FOR BEING HERE AND STAYING UP LATE
WITH US.
BUT I'M SURE YOU WORK VERY LATE AS IT IS.
NOW, YOU DIDN'T WATCH THE CONVENTION THIS WEEK, AND I
DIDN'T WATCH TONIGHT, BUT WE DO KNOW THERE HAS BEEN AN ENORMOUS
AMOUNT OF STOKING OF FEAR, NOT JUST TONIGHT.
TONIGHT IS JUST THE BALL ASSUMIC REDUCTION OF THE FOR THE WHOLE
WEEK.
BUT THE PAST FOUR YEARS THERE HAVE BEEN.
AND NOW YOU HAVE SELF-STYLED MILITIA MEMBERS SHOOTING PEOPLE
IN THE STREETS OF KENOSHA.
IS THIS THE CHICKENING HOME TO ROOST?
>> WELL, WHATEVER IT IS, IT HAS TO BE STOPPED.
FIRST, AS YOU KNOW, JACOB BLAKE WAS SHOT SEVEN TIMES FOR
SOMETHING-- WELL, WHEN YOU SAW IT, IT DIDN'T SEEM AS IF THERE
WAS ANY JUSTIFICATION FOR IT, ESPECIALLY IN FRONT OF HIS
CHILDREN.
SO THAT PROVOKED A REACTION, AND THEN, THIS PERSON WITH A GUN, A
SEMIAUTOMATIC, I UNDERSTAND, WENT AND KILLED TWO PEOPLE,
INJURED ANOTHER, AND WHAT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY THAT THE
PRESIDENT NEEDS TO FEEL ABOUT WHAT ENCOURAGEMENT OR WHATEVER
THE WORD IS, THAT HE MAY HAVE GIVEN, THE COMFORT LEVEL FOR
SOMEONE TO DO SUCH A THING AND BE SO BRAZEN ABOUT IT?
HE THOUGHT HE WAS JOINING A MILITIA.
WHAT MILITIA?
>> Stephen: THAT IS-- THAT IS ONE OF THE STRANGEST THINGS
ABOUT IT, IS THE TACIT APPROVAL OF MILITIAS AND UNIDENTIFIED AND
UNDEPUTIZED PEOPLE WITH MILITARY WEAPONS ON OUR STREETS THAT THE
REPUBLICANS HAVE GIVEN AND CELEBRATED IN MANY WAYS.
BUT I WANT TO ASK YOU ABOUT, IN JUNE, THE HOUSE PASSED THE
GEORGE FLOYD JUSTICE IN POLICING ACT.
WHAT DID THAT HOPE TO DO?
AND WHY DOES IT SEEM LIKE NOTHING HAS CHANGED IN THE LAST
THREE MONTHS?
>> WELL, WHAT'S VERY SAD ABOUT IT IS THERE'S SOMETHING WE HAVE
NEVER SEEN BEFORE.
ALL OVER THE WORLD PEOPLE TURNED OUT AND SAID THINGS-- WE MUST
HAVE CHANGE.
WE MUST HAVE CHANGE ABOUT HOW PEOPLE ARE RESPECTED.
WE MUST HAVE CHANGE ABOUT POLICE BRUTALITY.
AND SO OUR BILL, THE GEORGE FLOYD JUSTICE IN POLICING ACT,
IS ONE THAT STRIVES TO MAKE SOME ELEMENTS-- NATIONALIZE CERTAIN
ELEMENTS-- CHOKE HOLDS, ALL OF THOSE THINGS.
WE HAVE A DIFFERENCE OF OPINION WITH THE SENATE ON THIS.
THEY DEPARTMENT WANT TO ELIMINATE CHOKE-- SOME CHOKE
HOLDS MAYBE NOT OTHER CHOKE HOLDS.
WHAT?
NO, NONE.
WHAT WE HOPE TO ACCOMPLISH WITH IT-- ITS DIFFERENT PROVISIONS
WAS VERY REASONABLE.
IT GOT TO THE POINT.
IT WAS BALANCED.
IT WEIGHED EQUITIES, BUT THAT STILL COULDN'T MAKE IT THROUGH
THE REPUBLICAN SENATE.
SHAME ON THEM.
THEY ARE GOING TO HAVE TO ANSWER FOR THAT.
THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE TO ANSWER FOR THAT.
AND, AGAIN, IGNORING THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE IN SUCH LARGE NUMBERS
THAT WE HAVE NEVER SEEN BEFORE, A WHOLE OTHER GENERATION OF
PEOPLE SAYING, "NO, THIS CANNOT GO FORWARD."
AND, AGAIN, IT'S THE-- UNDERSTAND THIS-- IF DONALD
TRUMP IT'S OKAY, I'LL SIGN IT.
MITCH McCONNELL WOULD BRING IT UP.
>> Stephen: I HAVE NO DOUBT.
>> THE PUPPETEERS, THE PUPPETEER --
>> Stephen: IT'S TRUMP'S PARTY NOW.
THAT MUCH IS CLEAR, AND THE R.N.C. HAS DRIVEN THAT HOME THIS
WEEK.
IT'S TRUMP'S PARTY.
WE HAVE TO TAKE ANOTHER BREAK, MEAM.
BUT STICK AROUND, EVERYBODY.
WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK WITH MORE NANCY PELOSI, AND WE ARE GOING
TO TALK ABOUT THE POST OFFICE.
>> ALL RIGHT.
>> Stephen: JOIN US, WOPT YOU?
