>>> BREAKING NEWS, THE ALABAMA GOVERNOR HAS JUST SIGNED A BILL
EFFECTIVELY BANNING ABORTIONS
ACROSS THE ENTIRE STATE.
THIS IS THE STRICTEST ABORTION
LAW IN THE NATION.
NEAR TOTAL BAN.
NO EXCEPTIONS FOR RAPE OR
INCEST.
INCEST. IT ALSO CRIMINALIZES PERFORMANCE
OF THIS PROCEDURE BY DOCTORS.
THEY COULD EVEN FACE UP TO 99
YEARS IN PRISON.
THE SPONSORS OPENLY SAY THE IDEA
IS TO GET THIS IN FRONT OF THE
SUPREME COURT TO OVERTURN ROE.
I JUST SAT DOWN WITH CORY
BOOKER.
BOOKER. WE TURN TO THAT INTERVIEW NOW.
>> I SAW TODAY, UP IT IS
IMPORTANT FOR MEN TO HAVE THIS
CONVERSATION.
CONVERSATION. WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
>> WELL, MORE THAN THIS
CONVERSATION.
CONVERSATION. IT IS IMPORTANT FOR MEN TO LEAD
ON THIS ISSUE WITH WOMEN BECAUSE
THIS IS AN ASSAULT ON HUMAN
RIGHTS.
RIGHTS. THIS IS AN ASSAULT ON BASIC
FUNDAMENTAL IDEAL THAT YOU CAN
CONTROL YOUR OWN BODY.
WE KNOW FROM ALABAMA’S JAIL BY
MARTIN LUTHER KING, HE SAID THAT
INJUSTICE ANYWHERE IS A THREAT
TO JUSTICE EVERYWHERE.
THIS IS THAT CASE.
AND THIS SHOULD BE, I THINK
THOSE OF US WHO ARE RUNNING FOR
PRESIDENT, HAVE A CHANCE TO
AFFECT THE NATIONAL
CONVERSATION.
CONVERSATION. ALL MEN, WE NEED TO LEAD THIS
ISSUE WITH WOMEN AND DEMAND THAT
PEOPLE GET OFF THE SIDELINES.
THIS IS AN EXISTENTIAL FIGHT FOR
THE RIGHT AND LIBERTY TO CONTROL
YOUR OWN BODY, YOUR ECONOMIC
FREEDOM.
FREEDOM. TO BE ABLE TO MAKE YOUR OWN
REPRODUCTIVE CHOICES.
REPRODUCTIVE CHOICES. >> THIS WAS A CENTRAL ISSUE IN
THE FIGHT YOU AND YOUR
COLLEAGUES WAGED OVER BRETT
CAVANAGH.
CAVANAGH. LOOK AT THE WAY HE SPOKE ABOUT
ROE DURING THOSE HEARINGS.
>> SENATOR, IT IS AN IMPORTANT
PRECEDENT OF THE IT IS AN
IMPORTANT PRECEDENT OF THE
SUPREME COURT AND REAFFIRMED
MANY TIMES, PRECEDENT ON
PRECEDENT, AN IMPORTANT
PRECEDENT OF THE SUPREME COURT
THAT HAS BEEN REAFFIRMED MANY
TIMES.
TIMES. >> DO YOU VIEW HIS STATEMENTS AS
A COMMITMENT TO STRIKE DOWN THIS
LAW?
LAW? IF IT BECOMES LAW IN ALABAMA?
>> PRESIDENT TRUMP THAT POINT
BLANK, I WILL PUT PEOPLE ON THE
COURT WHO WILL OVERTURN ROE V.
WADE.
WADE. NOTHING HE SAID THERE CONVINCED
ME THAT WAS NOT THE INTENT.
>> SO YOU’RE MENTIONING
RECEIPTS.
RECEIPTS. LET’S PLAY THEM TO YOUR POINT.
THIS IS CENTRAL TO THE FIGHT.
IS THIS THE GOAL OR NOT?
LET’S LOOK AS YOU SAY AT WHAT
DONALD TRUMP PROMISED?
>> IF WE PUT ANOTHER TWO OR
THREE JUSTICES ON, THAT WILL
HAPPEN.
HAPPEN. THAT WILL HAPPEN AUTOMATICALLY
IN MY OPINION.
I AM PUTTING PRO-LIFE JUSTICES
ON THE COURT.
>> THE STATES ARE NOW SEEING
THIS AS AN OPPORTUNITY TO MOVE
THESE TO THE COURTS.
BUT WE ARE NOT H
INJUSTICE.
INJUSTICE. WE MUST ORGANIZE AND WE MUST DO
THE THINGS THAT NEW YORK DID.
ENSHRINING ROE V. WADE.
AND WE GO DO THAT IN CONGRESS
BYPASSING A BILL THAT PROTECTS
WOMEN’S REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS AND
MAKE THAT THE FEDERAL LAW OF THE
LAND.
LAND. >> YOU ARE RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT
AND THERE’S POLITICS HERE.
THE SUPREME COURT DID USE THIS
TO OVERTURN ROE BEFORE THE
PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN, DO YOU
THINK THAT WOULD HELP THE
DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE, WHOEVER IT
WOULD BE?
WOULD BE? >> THERE ARE ISSUES THAT I WILL
NOT LOOK AT THROUGH A LENS.
REGARDLESS OF WHAT I WAS DOING.
I THINK WE HAVE AN OBLIGATION TO
JUST THINK VERY FUNDAMENTALLY.
DOES A WOMAN HAVE THE RIGHT TO
CONTROL HER BODY OR DO
POLITICIANS HAVE TO DICTATE TO
HER?
HER? DO YOU KNOW HOW EXTREME THIS IS?
IT SAYS IN THE CASES OF RAPE AND
INCEST, THAT A WOMAN, IT IS
STILL ILLEGAL FOR A DOCTOR TO
PERFORM AN ABORTION.
SO THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS.
AN ASSAULT ON HUMAN RIGHTS,
HUMAN DIGNITY.
HUMAN DIGNITY. FREEDOM TO CONTROL YOUR BODY,
WHICH HAS BEEN A FIGHT GOING ON
FROM THE FOUNDING OF THIS
COUNTRY.
COUNTRY. AND I CANNOT IN ANY WAY SIT
COMFORTABLY WHILE THIS IS GOING
ON.
ON. AND THIS IS A TIME IN AMERICAN
>> I WANT TO CONTINUE OUR CONVERSATION.
CONVERSATION. YOU HAVE BEEN CLASHING WITH
ATTORNEY GENERAL BARR.
HE NOW HAS SAID THERE WILL BE
ANOTHER REVIEW OF THE ORANGINS
OF THE MUELLER PROBE.
IN YOUR VIEW, IS IT POSSIBLE
THAT COULD BE PRODUCTIVE?
OR IS THAT A BAD IDEA TO BEGIN
WITH?
WITH? >> THIS IS SOMEBODY THAT HAS
LOST CREDIBILITY.
LOST CREDIBILITY. HE’S BEEN ACTING MORE LIKE A
RUDOLPH GIULIANI THAN THE
INDEPENDENT HEAD OF THE
DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE.
ANYBODY WHO TAKES A FAIR READING
OF THAT SEES MISCONDUCT RIFE
WITHIN THIS ADMINISTRATION.
LITERALLY, LIES AND EVEN
ORDERING DON McGAHN TO
MANUFACTURE EVIDENCE TO COVER UP
WHAT COULD BE A TRAIL OF, TOWARD
OBSTRUCTION.
OBSTRUCTION. THE ELECTION SIDE, YOU HAVE A
STATE ADVERSARY, A FOREIGN
ADVERSARY WHO IS LITERALLY
BREAKING THE LAW, ATTACKING OUR
ELECTION SYSTEMS, AND THEY
GREETED THAT WITH SEEMINGLY
GLEE.
GLEE. >> SO LET ME ASK YOU THIS.
DID DONALD TRUMP OBSTRUCT
JUSTICE?
JUSTICE? >> I THINK WE NEED TO ANSWER
THAT QUESTION.
THAT QUESTION. AND THERE WAS A PROCESS IN DOING
IT.
IT. WE SHOULD GET THE UNREDACTED
REPORT.
REPORT. MUELLER SHOULD BE COMING BEFORE
THE JUDICIARY HEARING IN OPEN
HEARINGS AND WE SHOULD LOOK AT
THE UNDERLYING DOCUMENTATION.
>> BASED ON WHAT IS PUBLIC, DO
YOU HAVE A VIEW THAT IS LIKELY
OR UNLIKELY?
OR UNLIKELY? THERE ARE OTHER TALENTED LAWYERS
WHO SAY YES.
>> I BELIEVE RIGHT NOW, I HAVE A
JOB TO DO.
THAT SHOULD BE TO CONTINUE THE
INVESTIGATION.
INVESTIGATION. THAT’S THE RESPONSIBLE WAY TO DO
IT.
IT. >> YOU’RE SO SMART.
I WORRY YOU’RE USING YOUR
TENSION TO MOVE AWAY.
YOU SAID YOU HAD AN
INVESTIGATION TO DO.
YOU ARE IN THE POSITION OF THE
CONGRESS MAKING A JUDGMENT.
YOU ARE THE DECIDER BECAUSE WE
DON’T INDICT SITTING PRESIDENTS.
WHEN WOULD YOU BE ABLE TO
DECIDE?
DECIDE? THE MUELLER REPORT IS LONG AND
DETAILED AND MANY SCHOLARS HAVE
SAID IT SHOWS CRIMINAL INTEND.
>> FIRST, I HAVE A ROLE.
A JURY AFTER IT HAS BEEN PASSED
BY THE HOUSE.
SO THEY’RE SAYING LET’S GO WHERE
IT LEADS US.
IT SITS AS A JURY.
>> SO YOU’RE COMFORTABLE JUST
WAITING ON THAT.
I THINK THEY HAVE A
RESPONSIBILITY NOT TO BE
COOPERATING WITH THE HOUSE’S
DOCUMENTATION, SUBPOENAS, THIS
IS A REAL PROBLEM.
WE HAVE A CONSTITUTIONAL
CONFLICT THAT I THINK WILL BE
GOING OVER TO THE COURTS.
THIS IS A TIME FOR SOBER
EXAMINATION OF THE FACTS.
>> I WANT TO GET OUT SOME OTHER
ITEMS.
ITEMS. >> YES.
>> YES. >> WE HAVE SEEN GUN DEATHS REACH
A MULTIDECADE HIGH LAST YEAR.
SUICIDE AND GUNS.
HOW DO YOU FIX IT?
YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND THAT TO
LIVE IN AN INNER CITY BLACK AND
BROWN COMMUNITY WHERE I HAVE
SHOOTINGS IN MY NEIGHBOR, LAST
WEEK, SOMEONE KILLED WITH AN
ASSAULT RIFLE ON MY BLOCK.
WHEN YOU SAY WE’VE REACHED A
DECADES HIGH IN OUR LIFETIME,
WE’VE HAD MORE PEOPLE DIE FROM
GUN VIOLENCE IN OUR COUNTRY THAN
ALL THE WARS, REVOLUTIONARY WAR,
WORLD WARS, VIETNAM, KOREA,
COMBINED.
COMBINED. AND SUE SIDES, WE HAVE ABOUT 100
PEOPLE MURDERED.
PEOPLE MURDERED. ABOUT A 2-1 SUICIDE TO HOMICIDE.
WE’RE NOT GIVING ENOUGH FOCUS TO
SUICIDE DEATHS IN THIS COUNTRY.
AND STILL HAVE ALMOST A
RESIGNATION THAT WE ARE HELPLESS
TO STOP THEM AND THAT’S NOT
TRUE.
TRUE. >> YOU THINK THOSE ARE PEOPLE,
SOME OF THEM, IF THEY HAD THE
HELP, NOT THE READY ACCESS TO A
WEAPON.
WEAPON. THAT MIGHT BE A LIFE SAVED.
>> AND WE KNOW THAT FROM THE
DATE AND THE EVIDENCE ON STATES
THAT HAVE TAKEN ACTION TO TRY TO
MAKE SURE WE ARE CUTTING THOSE
DEATHS.
DEATHS. AND THAT MEANS EVERYTHING FROM
TAKING PEOPLE AT HIGH RISK FOR
SUICIDE AND SUSPENDING THE
RIGHTS TO HAVE WEAPONS DURING A
LIMIT PERIOD OF TIME WITH DUE
PROCESS.
PROCESS. IT MAKES IT AS SIMPLE AS HAVING
SAFE STORAGE LAWS SO THE GUNS
ARE EASILY ACCESSIBLE BY A YOUNG
PERSON WHO WANTS TO COMMIT
SUICIDE.
SUICIDE. >> IT IS SUCH AN IMPORTANT ISSUE
AND ONE TO KEEP TRACK.
IT IS ONE OF THE GREAT SECURITY
CHALLENGES AND LIFE CHALLENGES
IN AMERICA.
IN AMERICA. I WANT TO HIT WITH YOU THE
LIGHTNING ROUND.
LIGHTNING ROUND. FAST ANSWERS, ONE WORD WHEN
POSSIBLE.
POSSIBLE. >> OKAY.
>> OKAY. >> OTHER CANDIDATES HAVE DONE
THIS.
THIS. >> OKAY.
>> OKAY. WITH YOU, I’M AFRAID.
>> YOU’RE DREAM RUNNING MATE.
>> I WILL NOT ANSWER IF.
QUESTION.
QUESTION. >> IT COULD BE SOMEONE NO LOCKER
WITH US.
WITH US. ELIZABETH WARREN ANSWERED IT.
SHE SAID TEDDY ROOSEVELT.
>> AT THIS TABLE SHE SAID HER
DREAM CANDIDATE WAS TO RESURRECT
THE CORPSE.
THE CORPSE. I’VE WATCHED TOO MUCH SCI-FI TO
KNOW.
KNOW. >> SHE DIDN’T SAY THAT.
>> IF YOU WATCH PET CEMETERY,
WHERE YOU’RE GOING IS DANGEROUS
TERRITORY.
TERRITORY. DON’T DO IT.
YOU WATCH A MOVIE IN MY
NEIGHBORHOOD.
NEIGHBORHOOD. WE’RE YELLING AT THE SCREEN.
DON’T DO IT.
>> SO YOU’RE PASSING.
>> I AM GOING TO PRESS THE PASS
BUTTON BUT YOU WILL FIND OUT
WHEN TIM NOMINEE OF MY PARTY WHO
MY RUNNING MATE IS.
>> WHEN YOU NEED TO CHILL, YOUR
FAVORITE TV SHOW OR NETFLIX.
>> I AM A SCI-FI ADDICT.
I WILL WATCH EVEN RERUNS OF GOOD
SCI-FI IF I HAVE TO.
>> LIKE?
>> LIKE? >> I AM TRYING TO GIVE YOU THE
MOST -- I AM EMBARRASSED TO TELL
YOU.
YOU. THAT I TURNED TO AER SUIES.
HOW DO YOU GET NO ADMIT THIS.
THE SERIES IS SUPER NATURAL.
YES.
YES. >> ARE YOU MORE STAR WARS OR
STAR TREK?
STAR TREK? I AM A SCI-FI PERSON.
IF YOU’RE FORCE NOEG CHOOSE AND
STAND IN ONE UNIVERSE, I WILL
STAND IN THE STAR TREK UNIVERSE.
>> I CAN BUY THAT WITH YOU.
STAR TREK IS, I DON’T KNOW IF
I’M GOING ON MAKE A HUGE
MISTAKE.
MISTAKE. NERDIER?
NERDIER? >> I THINK, LOOK.
MAYBE I’LL JUST SAY THAT THE
PEOPLE I RESPECT FROM SISCO TO
PICARD, GREAT BALL LEADERS IN
THE FUTURE.
THE FUTURE. RIGHT NOW I AM STUCK IN A LOOP
OF, A LITTLE BIT OLD BUT CHANCE
THE RAPPER.
THE RAPPER. YOU’VE GOT A PROBLEM WITH ME?
I’VE BEEN LISTENING TO THAT.
>> IS IT SPEAKING TO YOU BECAUSE
YOU FEEL LIKE IF ONE MORE LABEL
TRIES TO STOP YOU?
>> I DON’T HAVE THE DREAD HEAD
THERE TO MEET YOU IN THE LOBBY.
THIS MORNING I WOKE UP.
I HAVE A GREAT LIST.
SHOULD I MAKE IT PUBLIC.
GOSPEL.
GOSPEL. I JUST LOVE GOSPEL.
>> I WOULD LOVE FOR EVERY
CANDIDATE TO DO THAT.
WHEN YOU’RE WORKING OUT.
THE MUSIC THAT PUMPS YOU UP.
>> I WILL LISTEN TO LOTS OF
DIFFERENT THINGS.
DIFFERENT THINGS. I HAVE SPOTIFY WITH EVERYTHING
FROM GOSPEL TO HIP HOP.
LES MIS.
LES MIS. >> I CAN SEE WITH THAT.
YOU’RE A RENAISSANCE MAN.
>> ONE WORD ANSWERS ON SOME
PEOPLE AND THEN WE’RE DONE.
>> BILL BARR.
>> RESIGN.
>> RESIGN. >> LINDSEY GRAHAM.
>> PRAYING FOR HIM.
>> BOB MUELLER.
>> COME BEFORE CONGRESS.
>> JOE BIDEN.
>> NATIONAL SERVANT.
>> ELIZABETH WARREN.
>> GREAT PARTNER AND ALLY ON MY
FAVORITE, SOME OF MY FAVORITE
LEGISLATION.
LEGISLATION. >> DONALD TRUMP.
