>>> THE LAST DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE
FOR PRESIDENT, HILLARY CLINTON,
MAKING THE CASE LAST NIGHT FOR
WHY IT IS SO IMPORTANT FOR EVERY
AMERICAN TO CAST A BALLOT IN
THIS ELECTION.
>> VOTE FOR HONEST ELECTIONS, SO
WE, NOT A FOREIGN ADVERSARY,
CHOOSE OUR PRESIDENT.
AND DON’T FORGET, JOE AND KAMALA
CAN WIN BY 3 MILLION VOTES AND
STILL LOSE.
TAKE IT FROM ME.
SO WE NEED NUMBERS OVERWHELMING,
SO TRUMP CAN’T SNEAK OR STEAL
HIS WAY TO VICTORY.
>> JOINING ME NOW, DEMOCRATIC
SENATOR AND FORMER PRESIDENTIAL
CANDIDATE AMY KLOBUCHAR.
SENATOR KLOBUCHAR, YOU’VE BEEN
SUCH AN IMPORTANT ADVOCATE FOR
SECURING THE VOTE, MAIL-IN
VOTING, PAPER BACKUPS.
YOU HAD LEGISLATION, I KNOW IT
STOPPED AT MITCH McCONNELL’S
DESK.
NOW WHAT WE’RE HEARING IN THE
CONVERSATION I BELIEVE WITH
NANCY PELOSI AND THE POSTMASTER
GENERAL IN ADVANCE OF HIS
TESTIMONY, THAT HE’S NOT
RESTORING THE BUDGET CUTS, HE’S
NOT RESTORING THE OVERTIME
THAT’S NEEDED, HE’S NOT PUTTING
BACK THOSE SORTING MACHINES THAT
HAVE ALL BEEN TAKEN OFFLINE,
SOME DISMANTLED.
WHAT CAN THE SENATE DO?
ESPECIALLY SINCE TOMORROW’S
HEARING WILL BE IN FRONT OF RON
JOHNSON WHO HAS BEEN AN
APOLOGIST FOR THE PRESIDENT.
>> EXACTLY.
LET’S START WITH WHAT HILLARY
WAS SAYING THERE.
I THINK SHE ADDRESSED THIS
ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM AND MADE IT
VERY FORWARD-LOOKING.
SHE WAS SAYING, WHEN SHE SAID
WOULDA, COULDA, SHOULDA, IT WAS
ABOUT ALL THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE
COME UP TO HER AND SAID, I
SHOULD HAVE VOTED.
OUR FIRST PLEA IS THAT EVERYONE
VOTES AND WE WIN BIG, THAT HELPS
A LOT.
THE SECOND PIECE IS WE NEED TO
DO EVERYTHING TO PROTECT OUR
ELECTIONS.
SPEAKER PELOSI IS ONCE AGAIN
SHOWING INCREDIBLE LEADERSHIP BY
BRINGING THE HOUSE BACK.
THEY CAN SIMPLY VOTE FOR A BILL
THAT PUTS IN STANDARDS AND THEN
IT GOES TO THE SENATE.
AND THE HEARING IS IMPORTANT,
BECAUSE YOU GET THE POSTMASTER
GENERAL ON THE RECORD.
BUT THE MOST IMPORTANT THING
WOULD BE, HE KEEPS SAYING STUFF
AND DIALING IT BACK, WHAT THE
STANDARDS SHOULD BE AND PUTTING
THE FUNDING INTO THE POST OFFICE
THAT WAS CONTAINED IN THE HEAR
ROW
HEROES ACT.
OUR PLEA IS, MITCH McCONNELL, DO
THE HEARING, BUT CALL THE SENATE
BACK SO WE CANNOT ONLY VOTE ON
THIS POSTAL BILL BUT ALSO THE
HEROES ACT WHICH CONTAINS THE
MONEY FOR TESTING, THE HELP FOR
STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS, AND
OF COURSE THE ELECTION FUNDING
THAT IS SO NEEDED BY THE STATES
RIGHT NOW.
>> BUT I BELIEVE THAT SOME OF
THE DEMOCRATS IN FACT ON THE
HOUSE ARE RELUCTANT TO DO
ANYTHING THAT DOESN’T ALSO
INCLUDE EXTENDING OR ENHANCING
UNEMPLOYMENT.
AND THE OTHER ASPECTS OF THE
HEROES ACT THAT ACTUALLY GET
INTO PEOPLE’S POCKETS.
>> WELL, THEY’VE ALREADY PASSED
THE HEROES ACT IN THE CONGRESS.
>> I MEAN A STANDALONE BILL, FOR
THEM JUST TO DO -- IT’S TOUGH
FOR THEM THIS WEEKEND.
>> YES, OKAY, FINE.
BUT MY POINT OF IT IS THAT YOU
HAVE TO HAVE A FUNCTIONING POST
OFFICE.
YOU CAN’T HAVE PEOPLE NOT
GETTING THEIR DOCUMENTS AND
THEIR LIFESAVING MEDICATIONS AND
THE LIKE.
AND THE OTHER THING THIS
COINCIDES WITH, ANDREA, AS YOU
KNOW, IS THE RELEASE OF THE
INTELLIGENCE COMMITTEE’S REPORT,
WARNER HAS BEEN OUT TALKING
ABOUT THAT.
THAT WAS REALLY GROUNDBREAKING
IN TERMS OF MORE EVIDENCE OF THE
RUSSIAN INTERFERENCE AND THE
COLLUSION WITH THE TRUMP
CAMPAIGN AND WHAT WAS GOING ON
THERE.
AND SO MY CONCERN HERE IS THAT
MAIL-IN BALLOTS ARE IMPORTANT
NOT JUST SO PEOPLE CAN VOTE
SAFELY, BUT THEY’RE ALSO
IMPORTANT BECAUSE YOU’VE GOT A
RECORD OF WHAT HAPPENED.
SO THEY REALLY SERVE A DOUBLE
PURPOSE, INSTEAD OF PUTTING
OURSELVES AT THE MERCY OF
FOREIGN GOVERNMENTS.
I LIKE THE BACKUP PAPER BALLOTS.
