ROE V. WADE DOWNTOWN LOS ANGELES
LEAVING ONE INJURED OFFICER.
UP TO 400 PEOPLE WERE MARCHING
WHEN THE DEMONSTRATION TURNED TO
THIS CLASH WITH POLICE
OVERNIGHT.
>> Steve: L.A. ISSUED CITYWIDE
ALERT THAT ALLOWED THEM TO
ARREST PEOPLE AFTER THE
PROTESTERS THREW ROCKS AND
BOTTLES AT THE COPS.
THE INJURED OFFICER WAS TREATED
FOR INJURIES AND RELEASED.
ONE SUSPECT IS IN CUSTODY.
>> Brian: SIMILAR PROTEST
DIRECTLY THROUGH THE U.S. AFTER
POLITICO PUBLISHED THE LINK TO L
DRAFT SUPREME COURT OPINION.
I KNOW WHERE THAT IS.
SAN FRANCISCO, MIAMI, AND RIGHT
OUTSIDE THE SUPREME COURT OF
WASHINGTON, D.C.
I IMAGINE THIS COULD ACTUALLY
PICK UP EVEN MORE TODAY.
LET’S BRING IN CONGRESSMAN
DAN CRENSHAW OF TEXAS.
CONGRESSMAN, HOW DO YOU GAUGE A
DEMOCRATS REACTION TO THIS AND
THEIR SUPPORTERS?
>> IT IS UNHINGED AS YOU CAN SEE
SEE.
THE FACT THAT THEY ARE THROWING
ROCKS AND BOTTLES AT POLICE
OFFICERS BECAUSE THEY BELIEVE IN
ABORTION THAT BADLY.
WE ARE IN UNHINGED PLACE RIGHT
NOW.
IN THIS PUBLIC DEBATE.
THAT WAS EXACTLY THE POINT OF
THE LEAK I THINK.
ONE OF THE MOST EGREGIOUS
VIOLATIONS OF THE SANCTITY OF
THE SUPREME COURT.
I HOPE THERE IS SERIOUS
CONSEQUENCES TO IT.
LET’S BE HONEST.
WHAT THIS LEAKER PROBABLY
BELIEVES AS THEY ARE GOING TO BE
MADE A MARTYR.
THEY’RE GOING TO HAVE A GREAT --
THEY MIGHT BE DISBARRED.
THEY’RE GOING TO GET A GREAT GIG
ON THE LEFT WHERE THEY WILL
BECOME A SPOKESPERSON FOR THE
PRO-ABORTION MOVEMENT.
THAT IS A REAL SHAME.
IT ALSO GOES TO SHOW HOW THE
LEFT THINKS OF THE COURT.
SO IF YOU BELIEVE THAT THIS LEAK
WILL SHIFT PUBLIC OPINION -- BY
DEFINITION, YOU BELIEVE THAT THE
COURT’S DECISIONS ARE BASED ON
PUBLIC OPINION.
THAT’S NOT WHAT THE COURT IS.
THE COURT IS NOT ANOTHER
LEGISLATIVE BODY.
THE COURT IS SUPPOSED TO BE A
GROUP OF LEGAL EXPERTS THEY
DELIVER THEIR LEGAL OPINION AND
LEGAL INTERPRETATION OF THE LAW.
THE LEFT KNOWS THEY DON’T HAVE A
REALLY GOOD CASE ON ROE V. WADE
WHEN IT COMES TO LEGAL
INTERPRETATION OF THE LAW.
THEY KNOW THAT BECAUSE THERE’S
ABSOLUTELY NOTHING IN THE
CONSTITUTION THAT GIVES A RIGHT
TO AN ABORTION.
THE OBVIOUS NEXT STEP IS TO SAY
THAT SHOULD BE DECIDED BY THE
LEGISLATIVE PROCESS.
THEY ARE TERRIFIED OF THAT
DEBATE.
THEY WANT TO ACTUALLY TERRIFY
PEOPLE INTO NOT HAVING A DEBATE.
>> Steve: CONGRESSMAN, SO MANY
PEOPLE DON’T UNDERSTAND, THEY
ARE ABOUT ABORTION.
YOU JUST USE THE TERM
"PRO-ABORTION."
MANY ON THE LEFT SAY
"PRO-CHOICE" APPEARED ON THE
RIGHT, THEY CALL IT "PRO-LIFE."
ULTIMATELY, WHAT WE ARE TALKING
ABOUT IS ENDING A LIFE.
IT IS ABOUT, YOU KNOW, ON THE
LEFT, THEY SAY TERMINATING A
FETUS, A PREGNANCY WITH A FETUS.
ON THE RIGHT, THEY SAY YOU ARE
KILLING A BABY.
JOE BIDEN YESTERDAY ON THE
TARMAC BEFORE HE WENT TO
ALABAMA, USE THE LANGUAGE OF THE
POLITICAL RIGHT.
HE SAID "ABORTION IS ABORTING A
CHILD."
LISTEN TO THE PRESIDENT.
>> President Biden: THE IDEA
THAT WE ARE GOING TO MAKE THAT
JUDGMENT THAT IS GOING TO SAY
THAT NO ONE CAN MAKE THE
JUDGMENT TO CHOOSE TO ABORT A
CHILD BASED ON DECISION BY THE
SUPREME COURT, I THINK THAT’S
WAY OVERBOARD.
>> Steve: WHEN YOU SEE IT THAT
WAY, IT MAKES A DIFFERENCE.
YOU ARE ABORTING, ENDING THE
LIFE OF A CHILD.
>> LOOKED, AND ALL HE’S SAYING
IS WHAT WE ALL INTUITIVELY KNOW
THAT IT IS A CHILD.
IT IS A CHILD.
IT’S ALWAYS A CHILD.
IF YOU WANTED, YOU CALL YOUR
BABY.
YOU DON’T CALL IN AN EXTRA BODY
PART.
YOU CALL YOUR BABY.
IF YOU DON’T WANTED, YOU
DEHUMANIZE IT.
YOU CALL IT SOMETHING ELSE THAT
WE DON’T SEE IT AS A CHILD.
SOMETIMES JOE BIDEN’S SLIP-UPS
ARE JUST AS THEM UP TOWARDS THE
TRUTH WHICH I THINK IS TRUE IN
THIS CASE.
AND YOU NOTED SOMETHING ABOUT
THEY CALL IT THE PRO-CHOICE
MOVEMENT.
IT IS A PRO-ABORTION MOVEMENT.
WE DON’T PROTECT ALL CHOICES.
YOU DON’T GET TO CHOOSE WHATEVER
YOU WANT.
IF IT HARMS SOMEONE ELSE
ESPECIALLY.
THAT IS THE NATURE OF OUR LAWS.
HAVE AS MUCH FREEDOM AS POSSIBLE
UNTIL YOU HAVE FRIENDS ON THE
RIGHTS OF SOMEBODY ELSE.
IN THIS CASE COMMENDS A VERY
CLEAR.
THIS IS THE PRO-LIFE ARGUMENT.
YOU ARE CLEARLY INFRINGING ON
THE LIFE OF ANOTHER.
IT IS INDEED THE LIFE OF
ANOTHER.
THEY TRY TO TWIST THAT ARGUMENT
BY SAYING, IT’S NOT REALLY
ANOTHER PERSON.
IT’S JUST AN EXTRA BODY PART.
THAT IS OF COURSE NOT TRUE.
SCIENTIFICALLY, MORALLY, AND IN
A HUMAN SENSE, WE REALLY KNOW
THAT.
THAT IS WHAT JOE BIDEN ACTUALLY
SAID.
>> Ainsley: THAT ALL OF US
PLAY FOR YOU -- THEY FOUND THIS
SOUND BITE OF JOE BIDEN BACK IN
2006.
THEY DID SOME DIGGING.
LISTEN TO THIS.
THIS IS WHAT I USED TO THINK
ABOUT ABORTION.
>> President Biden: I DO NOT
VIEW ABORTION AS A CHOICE IN
THEIR RIGHT.
I THINK IT IS ALWAYS A TRAGEDY.
AND I THINK THAT IT SHOULD BE
RARE AND SAFE.
I THINK WE SHOULD BE FOCUSING ON
HOW TO LIMIT THE NUMBER OF
ABORTIONS.
THERE OUGHT TO BE ABLE TO HAVE A
COMMON GROUND AGAINST CENSUS AS
TO DO THAT.
I AM A BIT OF AN ODD MAN OUT IN
MY PARTY.
I DID NOT VOTE FOR FUNDING FOR
ABORTION.
I VOTED AGAINST PARTIAL-BIRTH
ABORTION.
TO LIMIT IT.
AND I VOTE FOR NO RESTRICTIONS
ON A WOMAN’S RIGHT TO BE ABLE TO
HAVE AN ABORTION UNDER
ROE V. WADE.
I MADE EVERYBODY ANGRY.
>> Ainsley: I MEAN, WHAT
CHANGED?
>> WELL, HE WANTED THE APPROVAL
OF THE PROGRESSIVES AND HIS
PARTY.
THAT’S WHAT CHANGED.
JOE BIDEN HAS NEVER BEEN
TETHERED TO SERIOUS PRINCIPLES
THROUGHOUT HIS POLITICAL CAREER.
THAT’S NOT SURPRISING.
WHAT IS UNFORTUNATE IS THE
DRASTIC SHIFT IN THE
DEMOCRATIC PARTY.
HE WENT FROM SAFE, LEGAL, AND
RARE TO CELEBRATE IT.
CELEBRATE THE ABORTION.
HAVE IT ON DEMAND AT ANY TIME IN
A PREGNANCY.
CELEBRATE THE FACT THAT YOU ARE
DOING SO AND ALSO HAVE TAXPAYERS
PAY FOR IT.
THAT POSITION WHICH IS THE
DEMOCRAT PARTY POSITIONS, OF
COURSE ON DEMAND ANY TIME DURING
THE NINE MONTH PREGNANCY, PAID
FOR BY TAXPAYERS.
THAT’S ALWAYS SUPPORTED BY 17%
OF AMERICANS.
IF YOU ACTUALLY POLL
MILLENNIALS, 17% SUPPORT THAT
POSITION.
THEY DON’T HAVE THIS DEBATE
BECAUSE THE VAST MAJORITY OF
AMERICANS DON’T BELIEVE THAT YOU
SHOULD HAVE ABORTION ON DEMAND.
>> Brian: EVERYONE IS
EXTRAPOLATING FROM THOSE LIKE
ERIC SWALWELL SAYING THEY ARE
GOING TO START BANNING SAME-SEX
MARRIAGE AND INTERRACIAL
MARRIAGE AS IF WE’VE BEEN DEALT
WITH THAT.
I’M NOT EVEN TALKING ABOUT
ABORTIONS.
I WAS SAYING IT SHOULD BE A
STATE THING.
HE WENT ON TO SHOW THAT PER THE
OTHER MAJOR ISSUE CONGRESSMAN IS
WHAT’S HAPPENING AT THE BORDER.
AND I KNOW THE BORDER IS TOTALLY
OUT OF CONTROL.
WE KNOW THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE
TIRED OF IT.
A LARGE NUMBER.
WE ASK TITLE 42 WHICH IS A
MEASURE PUT IN PLACE DURING A
PANDEMIC.
63% OF THE COUNTRY WANT TO KEEP
IT.
THE PRESIDENT OF THE
UNITED STATES STILL WANTS TO LET
IT EVAPORATE IN THE THIRD WEEK
IN MAY.
WHO IS HE LISTENING TO?
WHO IS HE PLEASING BY DOING THAT
THAT?
>> AGAIN, IT IS A PROGRESSIVE
WING.
IN THIS CASE, VERY RADICAL
PRO-IMMIGRANT GROUPS THAT
CONSTANTLY ADVOCATED FOR THIS
KIND OF THING AND ADVOCATE FOR
OPEN BORDERS.
AND SO, LOOK, I DON’T KNOW WHY.
POLITICALLY IT DOESN’T MAKE ANY
SENSE.
THE DEMOCRATS WANT TO MAKE IT
HARD ON US IN NOVEMBER, ALL THEY
HAVE TO DO IS SECURE THE BORDER
RIGHT NOW AND DELIVER US SOME
ENERGY INDEPENDENCE.
THAT’S ALL THEY HAVE TO DO.
IT’S NOT THAT COMPLICATED.
IT’S LIKE THEY DON’T WANT TO AND
IT’S LIKE THEY DON’T CARE.
PEOPLE BELIEVE THAT KEEPING
TITLE 42 IS SYNONYMOUS WITH
BORDER SECURITY.
THAT IS WHY IT HAS SUCH -- VAST
SUPPORT.
PEOPLE JUST WANT THE BORDER
SECURE.
THAT’S WHAT IT REALLY COMES DOWN
TO.
THEY DON’T CARE HOW YOU DO IT,
THEY JUST WENT ON.
TITLE 42 BECAUSE IT ALLOWS FOR
EXPEDITED REMOVAL IS OF COURSE
THE BEST PATHWAY TO THAT.
ALSO, I THINK PEOPLE INTUITIVELY
UNDERSTAND THAT THE
ADMINISTRATION CONTRADICTS
ITSELF HERE.
THEY SAY THAT COVID IS NOT OVER.
WE STILL WANT THE MASKS HERE.
WE WANT TO MASS CHILDREN.
IT’S OVER AT THE BORDER.
THAT’S AN OBVIOUS CONTRADICTION.
BE CONSISTENT AND SAY THAT COVID
REALLY IS OVER.
BUT THEN, WITH NEW SOLUTIONS FOR
THE BORDER.
YOU ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO DO THAT.
YOU HAVE TO DIS- INCENTIVIZE
BORDER PROCESSES.
WE ARE LETTING PEOPLE LOSE
INSIDE THE INTERIOR AND LETTING
PEOPLE COME ACROSS AND TAKING A
HANDS-OFF APPROACH THAT
INCENTIVIZES MORE AND MORE
PEOPLE TO COME.
IT’S NOT THAT COMPLICATED OF A
PROBLEM.
IT’S NOT THAT COMPLICATED OF A
SOLUTION.
HE NEEDS TO GO BACK TO THE TRUMP
POLICIES THAT WORK WITH MEXICO
AND OTHER TRIBAL COUNTRIES TO
PROCESS ASYLUM CLAIM IS BACK
THOSE COUNTRIES.
IT TURNS OUT THESE ASYLUM CLAIMS
ARE NOT ALWAYS VALID.
RARELY ACTUALLY VALID.
IN THAT CASE, PEOPLE WILL
ACTUALLY COME, BECAUSE THEY KNOW
THEY HAVE TO PROCESS THAT IN
