THIS IS "THE FIVE."
>> THE RADICAL LEFT RAMPAGING
ACROSS THE COUNTRY OVER ROE V.
WADE, WHILE DEMOCRATS ATTACK THE
SUPREME COURT’S LEGITIMACY.
THE FBI IS INVESTIGATING AFTER A
PRO-ABORTION EXTREMIST TORNADO A
PRO-LIFE COLORADO PREGNANCY
CENTER, LEAVING BEHIND GRAFFITI
THAT SAYS "IF ABORTIONS AREN’T
SAFE, YOU AREN’T EITHER."
AND A MAN ATTACKS A COP WITH A
MAKESHIFT FLAME THROWER DURING A
PROTEST THERE.
AND IN PHOENIX, ARIZONA
LAWMAKERS SAY THEY WERE HELD
HOSTAGE BY AN ANGRY CROWD
OUTSIDE THE STATE CAPITOL.
POLICE EVENTUALLY HAD TO USE
TEAR GAS TO CLEAR THEM OUT.
DEMOCRATS IN CONGRESS ECHOING
THE FURY PUSHING FOR DRASTIC
MEASURES AGAINST THE SUPREME
COURT.
>> DO YOU THINK LYING AT A
CONFIRMATION HEARING IS AN
IMPEACHABLE OFFENSE?
>> I BELIEVE SO.
I BELIEVE LYING UNDER OATH IS AN
IMPEACHABLE OFFENSE.
>> THIS COURT HAS LOST
LEGITIMACY.
WE NEED TO GET CONFIDENCE BACK
IN OUR COURT.
THAT MEANS WE NEED MORE JUSTICES
ON THE UNITED STATES SUPREME
COURT.
>> WHILE DEMOCRATS PUSHED THE
WHITE HOUSE TO ACT, THE BEST
THEY’RE GOING TO GET IS THE
KAMALA PHOTO OPP, GETTING
MOCKED FOR THIS PHOTO SHE POSTED
OF HERSELF JUST WATCHING THE
RULING.
YOU’VE HAD A WEEKEND TO TAKE IT
IN.
WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT IT ON A
MONDAY?
>> I WANT TO ADD ONE OTHER THING
TO THE VIOLENCE OVER THE
WEEKEND.
SO IN VERMONT, THERE WAS
ACTUALLY ATTACKS ON THE STATE
CAPITOL, VANDALISM, GRAFFITI.
IN THE STATE OF VERMONT, THERE’S A CODIFIED RIGHT IN THE STATE
A CODIFIED RIGHT IN THE STATE
STAGS FOR A WOMAN TO CHOOSE, TO
HAVE THE RIGHT TO HAVE AN
ABORTION.
I DON’T KNOW WHY THEY’RE
ATTACKING THE STATE CAPITOL IN
VERMONT.
THAT DOESN’T MAKE SENSE.
NOT ONLY DID WE THINK ABOUT IT,
BUT IT’S HARD TO TELL HOW IT’S
GOING TO PLAY OUT IN THE LONG
RUN.
EMOTIONS RUNNING HIGH,
ESPECIALLY ON THE LEFT.
I’M SURPRISED THAT THE
PRO-CHOICE FORCES SEEM UNCLEAR
AS TO WHAT THEY’RE GOING TO DO
NEXT.
THEY HAD AMPLE WARNING.
THE DRAFT OPINION HAD BEEN OUT
THERE FOR ABOUT 55 DAYS.
THERE ARE STATE LEGISLATURES
THAT ARE GOING TO BE TAKING UP
THIS ISSUE.
THERE ARE LAWSUITS ALREADY
HAPPENING.
ALSO AS PEOPLE START TO REALIZE
THAT, OH, AS THESE DECISIONS GO
BACK TO THE STATES, IF YOU ARE
IN XYZ STATE, NOTHING CHANGES
FOR YOU.
NOW, IS IT POSSIBLE THAT LIBERAL
WOMEN IN NEW YORK ARE GOING TO
BE REALLY UPSET ABOUT THE WOMEN
LOSING THE RIGHT TO CHOOSE IN A
STATE LIKE MISSISSIPPI?
IT’S POSSIBLE.
WILL THAT MOTIVATE THEM TO VOTE?
YES.
BUT THEY VOTE IN NEW YORK.
I DON’T KNOW PRACTICALLY HOW
THAT TURNS OUT.
THIS WILL HELP THE DEMOCRATS
WITH SUBURBAN WOMEN AND
FUNDRAISING.
THIS DOES NOT HELP REPUBLICANS
IN THE FUNDRAISING FRONT.
I DID RESEARCH INTO THAT TODAY.
INFLATION IS STARTING TO TAKE A
BITE OUT OF THE SMALL DOLLAR
FUNDRAISING ON BOTH SIDES, BUT
REALLY ON THE RIGHT.
BUT THIS ISSUE FOR DEMOCRATS,
THEY’LL RAISE A TON OF FROM
CELEBRITIES.
IN MARCH OF 20 21, TEXAS PASSED
THEIR ABORTION LAW.
REMEMBER, THERE WAS ALL THIS
CONUNDRUM, A HUGE FUSS.
NATIONAL POLLING ON ABORTION
DIDN’T CHANGE AT ALL.
AGAIN, I’M OPEN-MINDED IN
LOOKING AT IT. ONE OF THE REASONS RUTH BADER
ONE OF THE REASONS RUTH BADER
GINSBURG WAS FRUSTRATED WITH THE
ROE V. WADE DECISION, VERMONT
SAID WOMEN’S RIGHTS TO ABORTION
IS THERE.
ALL THAT ACTIVITY IN THE STATE
STOPPED WHEN THEY CAME UP WITH
THE IDEA THAT THERE WAS THIS
RIGHT TO PRIVACY IN THE
CONSTITUTION.
NOW THAT’S OVER.
HOPEFULLY THE FIGHTS WILL BE
MORE PEACEFUL.
>> GREG?
>> MAYBE IT’S ME AFTER THREE
YEARS OF LAWLESSNESS AND JUST
SEEING GROUP EVERY DAY THAT I
THOUGHT THIS WAS MUCH LESS THAN
A NIGHT OF RAGE.
THAT COULD BE ON MY OWN
SUBJECTIVE OPINION COMPARING --
I COULD BE DEFINITELY WRONG,
BECAUSE I’M NOT THERE.
I GUESS THE VISUAL SPECTACLE OF
THIS WAS NOT WHAT I THINK THE
MEDIA WISHED IT COULD BE.
I THINK THAT THE REASON WHY THEY
WERE SO PLAYING DOWN THE STUFF
GOING ON IN FRONT OF THE SUPREME
COURT JUSTICES’ HOMES IS HOPING
THAT INTIMIDATION AND THE THREAT
OF A MOB, OF AN ANGRY VENGEFUL
MOB WOULD CHANGE THINGS AND IT
DIDN’T.
I THINK, TOO, IT’S INTERESTING A
LOT OF PROTESTS ARE IN CITIES
THAT AREN’T AFFECTED BY IT.
WHAT YOU’RE GOING TO SEE IS
THIS.
THERE’S A LOT OF IGNORANCE GOING
AROUND.
A LOT OF PEOPLE DON’T KNOW WHAT
THIS MEANS.
I LOVE HEARING FAMOUS LIBERALS
RENOUNCING THEIR CITIZENSHIP.
GOOD LUCK FINDING A COUNTRY THAT
HAS ABORTION ON DEMAND LIKE THE
UNITED STATES.
IF YOU LOOK AT ANY MAP OF
EUROPE, YOU’LL FIND OUT THAT
MOST COUNTRIES IN WESTERN EUROPE
AND ELSEWHERE ARE, LIKE, PRETTY,
PRETTY MUCH MORE STRICT.
THEN THERE’S THIS COMPLAINT
ABOUT, YOU KNOW, REPUBLICANS
WANT YOU TO BE BORN BUT DON’T
WANT TO CARE ABOUT YOU WHEN
YOU’RE BORN.
THIS IS WHAT THE LADY FROM "THE
VIEW" SAID.
THE EVIDENCE RIGHT NOW IS
TOTALLY IN REVERSE.
WHO’S OUTSPOKEN ON CRIME, RIGHT?
WHO’S OUTSPOKEN ON
BLACK-ON-BLACK CRIME?
WHO’S OUTSPOKEN ON THE PRICE OF
GAS AND THE PRICE OF BABY
FORMULA, THE ECONOMY?
WHO’S TALKING ABOUT SCHOOL
CHOICE?
WHO’S WORRIED ABOUT KIDS BEING
TRAPPED IN TERRIBLE SCHOOLS, THE
LOCKDOWN ECONOMY.
IT WASN’T DEMOCRATS OR TEACHERS
UNIONS.
IT WAS THE REPUBLICANS.
SO IF YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT
RESPONSIBILITY OF PEOPLE WHO ARE
BORN, REPUBLICANS HAVE BEEN
THERE ALL ALONG, YOU JUST DIDN’T
LIKE THE GRIM TRUTH OF WHAT YOU
WERE PROTECTING.
>> WHEN YOU HEARD SOME OF THE
POLITICIANS OUT THERE ON THE
SHOWS TALKING ABOUT PACKING THE
COURT, IMPEACHING THE JUSTICES,
ARE DO YOU THINK THAT’S GOING
ANYWHERE?
>> NO.
WELL, FIRST OF ALL, THERE IS
THIS -- THIS MISCALCULATION.
PEOPLE DON’T UNDERSTAND THAT
WHAT HAPPENED WITH THE DOBBS
DECISION WAS THAT THE COURT SAID
THAT THERE IS NO CONSTITUTIONAL
RIGHT TO AN ABORTION.
THEY NEVER SAID ABORTIONS ARE
ILLEGAL.
THEY NEVER SAID THAT THEY ARE
UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
THEY JUST SAID YOU DON’T HAVE A
CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT TO THEM.
SO ALL YOU FOLKS THAT TALK
ABOUT, YOU KNOW, ALL OF THIS
STUFF IS TEARING DOWN DEMOCRACY
AND WE’VE GOT TO PROTECT
DEMOCRACY, WELL, WHY DON’T YOU
LEARN A LITTLE ABOUT DEMOCRACY,
GET TOGETHER, AND NOW FIGHT FOR
IT IN THE STATE LEGISLATURES
WHERE YOU WILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE
AS TO WHETHER OR NOT ABORTIONS
WILL BE LEGAL OR NOT.
THAT IS THE ESSENCE OF
DEMOCRACY.
THE IDEA OF SAYING THAT THESE
JUSTICES LIED -- I THINK ONE OF
THE COMPLAINTS HAD TO DO WITH A
PERSONAL DISCUSSION IN ONE OF
THE SENATORS’ OFFICES.
FIRST OF ALL, THIS IS A THING
THAT ALL LIBERAL JUSTICES HAVE
SAID, UNDER ARTICLE III OF THE
CONSTITUTION, THEY ARE TO DECIDE
CASES AND CONTROVERSIES.
WHEN YOU APPEAR BEFORE A SENATE
COMMITTEE, YOU’RE NOT DECIDING A
CASE OR CONTROVERSY.
YOU ARE SAYING, I WILL DECIDE
THIS CASE BASED UPON THE FACTS
AND LAW AS PRESENT TO ME.
I WILL NOT PREJUDGE ANY
SITUATION, BECAUSE THEN YOU’RE
GOING TO VOTE FOR ME.
I DID THE SAME THING AS A JUDGE.
PEOPLE SAID, HOW DO YOU FEEL
ABOUT THIS CRIME OR THIS --
WELL, NO.
I WILL DO MY JOB AS BEST I CAN
TO SUBSTANTIATE THOSE CRIMES AND
THOSE LAWS THAT HAVE TO BE
PROTECTED AS A JUDGE.
NOW, NONE OF THESE JUSTICES SAID
THAT PRECEDENT COULD NOT BE
OVERTURNED.
NONE OF THEM SAID THAT.
THERE WAS NO LIE.
THE ESSENCE OF WHERE WE ARE NOW
IS THAT THEY’RE JUST BAD -- THEY
DON’T LIKE THE RESULT, SO THEY
WANT TO CHANGE THE RULES OF THE
GAME.
THEY WANT TO PACK THE COURT,
WHICH IS RIDICULOUS, BECAUSE
THEN THE COURT IS NOTHING BUT A
LEGISLATIVE BRANCH THAT REFLECTS
THE MOB.
THE LEFT, THEY’RE FIGHTING, HAVE
HISSY FITS.
EVERY TIME THEY DON’T LIKE
SOMETHING, THEY HIT THE STREETS
AND BECOME VIOLENT.
THE SUMMER OF 2020.
THEY’RE LOSING CREDIBILITY AS
OPPOSED TO THE SUPREME COURT
LOSING LEGITIMACY.
>> TAKE IT ON HOME.
>> THE VIOLENCE, I NEVER
UNDERSTOOD WHY PEOPLE ENGAGE IN
VIOLENCE.
IT GOES ON BOTH SIDES.
PEOPLE BLEW UP ABORTION CLINICS,
PLACES OVER THE YEARS, WHERE
ABORTIONS WERE PERFORMED.
NOW PEOPLE ARE OUT DOING THIS.
I DON’T KNOW HOW YOU’RE GOING TO
MAKE A DIFFERENCE ENGAGING IN
VIOLENCE.
I THINK PEACEFUL PROTESTING IS
FINE, BUT THE VIOLENCE IS
INEXCUSABLE AND THEY SHOULD BE
PROSECUTED.
WHEN IT COMES TO THE POLLING,
ONE OF THE THINGS THAT DISTURBS
ME IN ALL OF THIS, RIGHT AFTER
THIS DECISION, SCOTUS’S APPROVAL
RATING DROPPED TO 25%.
THAT’S A LOW NUMBER EVEN FOR
PRESIDENT BIDEN.
THAT’S A LOW NUMBER.
FOR CONGRESS, THAT’S A LOW
NUMBER.
YOU HAVE ELECTION EVERY TWO
YEARS FOR -- YOU TALKED ABOUT SO
MANY JUDGES IN THIS COUNTRY ARE
ELECTED.
WHEN THEY SAY THEY’RE GOING TO
DO CERTAIN THINGS, THEY DON’T DO
THEM, VOTERS ARE ABLE TO UNELECT
THEM.
I DON’T THINK WE SHOULD PACK THE
COURT, BUT THE MAJORITY OF THE
COUNTRY AGREES WITH YOU AS WELL,
IT WILL BE INTERESTING TO SEE
WHERE THAT GOES.
IN ADDITION, I THINK THE LARGER
QUESTION FOR ME, WHEN WE LOOK AT
15-20 WEEKS FOR A WOMAN TO BE
ABLE TO GET AN ABORTION, I THINK
THERE’S A WIDE ACCEPTANCE OF
THAT.
I THINK WHEN PRESIDENT CLINTON
SAID RARE, LEGAL AND SAFE,
UNFORTUNATELY THAT MIDDLE OF THE
ROAD POSITION ON THIS ISSUE IS
LARGELY UNREPRESENTED IN
POLITICS.
YOU HAVE THOSE WHO DON’T WANT IT
AT ALL AND THOSE WHO WANT IT ON
DEMAND.
I THINK THE QUESTION THAT WE
WILL GET BACK TO FROM AN
ELECTORAL STANDPOINT WILL BE
THAT.
NOW, WHAT ALARMS DEMOCRATS, I
THINK, AND ALARMS ME, MORE SO
THAN THE -- THE DECISION WAS
ALARMING, BUT AS YOU GIVE THIS
ALL BACK TO THE STATES IS WHAT
JUSTICE THOMAS SAID IN HIS
CONCURRING OPINION ABOUT PRIVACY
AND THE EXPECTATION OF IT, AND
THE FACT THAT THE CONSTITUTION
DOES NOT SPECIFICALLY ENUMERATE
CERTAIN THINGS, CONTRACEPTIONS,
EVEN YOUR DIGITAL IDENTITY.
YOU LAUNCH AN EFFORT TO A, LOOK,
MAYBE AN AMENDMENT TO THE
CONSTITUTION THAT ENUMERATES
PRIVACY, AND WE ENUMERATE
PRIVACY FOR FAMILIES AND WOMEN.
LET THAT DEBATE HAPPEN.
I HAVE THOUGHTS ON THAT.
I’M SURE WE ALL DO.
DEMOCRATS NEED TO DO WHAT THEY
DID DIFFERENT YEARS WHEN THEY
WANTED TO OVERTURN ROE.
LAY OUT OUT A PLAN FOR THE LONG
TERM.
IN THE SHORT TERM, THE VIOLENCE
DOESN’T WORK.
LAY OUT THE CONCERN FOR NOT JUST
FOR WOMEN, BUT FOR MEN.
MEN SUPPORTED THE FEDERAL
SOCIETY, MUCH LIKE WOMEN SUPPORT
THIS DECISION.
I HOPE WE DON’T ENGAGE IN ANY
MORE VIOLENCE.
I REMIND EVERYBODY, JUSTICE
ROBERTS MADE THIS A 5-4 DECISION
TO OVERTURN ROE.
6-3 DECISION ON THE MISSISSIPPI
LAW, WHICH IS WHERE I WISH THE
COURT STAYED.
>> I’M IMPRESSED WITH EACH AND
EVERY ONE OF YOU.
