We are back with Senator Elizabeth Warren.
And Judge Judy was here a week ago,
and we talked for a long time.
Sometimes, we don't air everything,
because we don't have time.
This was something that did not air,
but this is something that she said.
And I would like you to see it and then respond.
OK.
I actually watched a little bit of Elizabeth Warren.
And finger-wagging vitriol is not what this country needs.
This country needs a calm, stable, sure-footed leader.
And the only one out there that can do that is Mike Bloomberg.
No.
Your thoughts?
[LAUGHTER]
Look, I understand.
I get pretty passionate about a lot of these issues.
I do care.
This is a fight not from a bunch of consultants.
This is a fight from the heart.
But I'll tell you, the things I talked with Mike Bloomberg
about--
about the allegations against him for discrimination
for harassing women, harassing women during pregnancy,
and the fact that he has muzzled all these women with
non-disclosure agreements--
I just think that's wrong.
And he may not be accountable when he lives in his
billionaire bubble with all of his yes-men,
but he gets on that debate stage with me--
he's accountable.
All right.
[CHEERING]
So speaking of judges, if Trump is re-elected for another term,
there is--
You're making my teeth hurt when you say that.
--there's a possibility that he will appoint two more
judges on the Supreme Court.
Mm-hmm.
What would that do to our country?
This is really worrisome, because right now,
we already see the kinds of judges
he's appointing to the district court
and to the Court of Appeals.
He's had a lot of nominations there.
And look, I just want to be factual about this.
He is appointing people that we just would never, I think--
for decades wouldn't have thought about putting
in the judiciary-- people who have records for being
anti-woman, racist, homophobic, anti-voter--
trying to keep people from voting.
This is just deeply, deeply worrisome.
And those people are going to sit
on the federal bench undermining our judicial system
for the rest of their lives.
So there are a lot of issues people will talk about
in the presidential primary.
But having a president who will nominate people
to the Supreme Court, and to the other federal courts, who
truly believes in rule of law and comes at this
with some sense of justice, not just for rich people,
but justice for all Americans--
I think that's going to be a crucial issue in the 2020
election.
I do, too.
Yeah.
[APPLAUSE]
So, all right.
So some people are saying--
that are supporting Trump--
they may not like his personality.
They may know that he does things
that they don't agree with, but they
would vote for him because they think
the economy is doing well.
He's doing a good job as President
no matter what you think of him as a man.
Mm-hmm.
What do you say to that?
Well, I would start by saying the economy's doing well
if you're starting out as a billionaire.
And it's doing pretty well if you're
starting out as a millionaire.
But for other folks, the economy is not doing nearly that well.
There was a time when the stock market went up
and when unemployment was low.
It meant hardworking people all across this country
were doing well.
And I say doing well.
This was really building America's middle class.
People had money to put into savings.
You could take a two-week vacation.
People were putting money aside for their pensions.
Today, we watch unemployment is low
because people are working two and three jobs,
because one job just isn't enough for people--
that people can't make ends meet.
The point I made earlier about my mom--
just think about the difference here.
When I was a girl and my mom walked to the Sears,
she got a full-time minimum wage job at a time
when a full-time minimum wage job in America
would support a family of three.
It would cover a mortgage, it would pay the utilities,
and it would put food on the table.
Today, a full-time minimum wage job in America
will not keep a mama and a baby out of poverty.
That is why I am in this fight.
I believe that is just fundamentally wrong.
[APPLAUSE]
I agree.
I grew up middle class, and to have no middle class
left anymore--
That's right
--is really scary.
Yes.
It's ridiculous.
You're either very poor or very rich.
And we've got to do something about that.
I agree.
That's right.
Jumping to-- let's say you get the nomination.
Let's say that.
All right.
[LAUGHTER]
You get the nomination.
Good.
That was good.
Today's the day.
How is a woman going to beat a man who gets away with saying
anything and everything?
And we know that he lies.
We know that he's gotten away with all the things he's
gotten away with.
How do you beat him?
I think the way you beat him is two ways.
One is you just don't take anything off him.
We've had it with schoolyard bullies.
We all understand this.
You stand up the first time, and a lot of the air
goes out of him.
And that man has a lot of air.
And you stand up to him, and it matters.
But the second thing is, we can't let this election be
all about Donald Trump.
He's done a lot of terrible things.
But this is our chance, in 2020, to talk
about our vision of the kind of America we want to build.
I think we beat Donald Trump by talking
about our positive vision of the America we build together.
All right.
[APPLAUSE]
We're going to put Senator Warren in the hot seat.
Everybody has to vote.
That's the one thing.
Yeah, that's right.
We need everyone to vote in order for that--
Yes.
--to happen.
All right.
No matter who you vote for, you've got to vote.
Got that.
And we'll be back, and put you in the hot seat.
OK.
Yeah.
