>>> WERE BACK WITH THE VOICES THAT LAUNCHED A MOVEMENT,
"TIMES" SILENCE BREAKERS, PERSON OF THE YEAR.AKERS,
PERSON OF THE YEAR. I HAVE TO ASK THIS QUESTION.
THERES A LINE IN THE "TIME"
PIECE, THAT SAYS TRUMPS
ELECTION, AFTER THE "ACCESS
HOLLYWOOD" TAPE AND THE LANGUAGE
WE HEARD FROM HIM ON IT, AND THE
16 ACCUSERS THAT CAME OUT ABOUT HIM.CCUSERS THAT CAME OUT ABOUT
HIM.
STOKED THE FIRE, THEY SUGGEST.
STOKED THE FIRE WERE SEEING NOW.ED THE FIRE WERE SEEING
NOW.
HOWEVER YOU FEEL ABOUT DONALD TRUMP, AND THERES REASONS TOD
TRUMP, AND THERES REASONS TO VOTE FOR HIM INSTEAD OF HILLARY
CLINTON AND I GET THAT.
BUT LETS TALK ABOUT THE SEXISM
PIECE OF IT AND WHETHER THATS
PLAYED A ROLE IN WHAT WERE
SEEING.
>> I THINK ITS PLAYED A ROLE.
AND I THINK SINCE HE TOOK
OFFICE, TO WATCH HIM STRIP AWAY
AT WOMENS RIGHTS, HAVE ALSO
PLAYED A ROLE. AND I THINK THATS UNDENYIABLEUN
I REALLY THINK THAT WE, AS A
GENDER, ARE TERRIFIED THAT WERE
GOING TO LOSE ALL OUR RIGHTS AND
OUR VOICE.
OUR VOICE.
AND THAT NOTHING IS GOING TO
MATTER.
>> WHAT DO YOU THINK?
YOURE A FAIR AND BALANCED GAL,
RIGHT?
WE WORKED AT FOX NEWS FOR YEARS. I UNDERSTAND WHY REPUBLICANSARS.
I UNDERSTAND WHY REPUBLICANS VOTED FOR TRUMP.
THIS ISNT A CONDEMNATION.
ON MY VOICEMAIL AFTER THE AUGUST
15th DEBATE, WHEN I ASKED HIM
ABOUT MISOGYNY.
ABOUT MISOGYNY. >> I DONT REMEMBER THAT.
>> I HAD VOICEMAILS SAYING,
YOURE A REAL "C" WORD.
AND THERE WAS ONE THAT SAID, NO
ONE GIVES A DAMN ABOUT MISOGYNY.
>> THEY DO NOW.
>> DO THEY?
>> I THINK WERE IN THE TIPPING POINT OF A MOVEMENT.HE TIPPING
POINT OF A MOVEMENT. >> 100%.
>> 100%. >> AND AMERICA IS REALLY
GRAPPLING WITH THIS.
I THINK THEYRE COMING TO TERMS
THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM.
AND THATS HARD FOR A LOT OF --
DESPITE ALL OF THE PEOPLE WHO
STOOD UP IN THE AUDIENCE AND ALL
OF US SITTING HERE, ITS
INCONCEIVABLE TO US, THAT OTHERS
WOULDNT KNOW THAT THIS IS SUCH
A PERVASIVE PROBLEM.
FOR PEOPLE, THAT IS THE CASE.
ITS HARD TO THINK ABOUT
SOLUTIONS.
SOLUTIONS.
>> I THINK THE SOLUTION IS THIS --INK THE SOLUTION IS
THIS --
RIGHT HERE. Y E. YES AND MORE.
AND FOR WOMEN STANDING TOGETHER
AND NOT PITTING EACH OTHER
AGAINST EACH OTHER, THATS PART
OF THE ISSUE.
WEVE BEEN GOING TO THE BATHROOM TOGETHER FOR YEARS.THE BATHROOM
TOGETHER FOR YEARS. THIS IS EXACTLY WHY.
WE WERE AFRAID TO BE ALONE.
WE HAVE TO SUPPORT EACH OTHER.
>> ITS REALLY IMPORTANT.
THIS EXISTS OUTSIDE OF POLITICS.
THIS ISSUE IS BEYOND POLITICS.
>> THATS WHAT I SAID.
>> WERE ON MEGYN KELLYS
"TODAY" SHOW.
"TODAY" SHOW. THERES SO MANY PEOPLE.
I DONT KNOW WHAT YOU DO FOR A
LIVING.
LIVING.
YOU COULD WORK FOR A BURGER FRANCHISE OR THE DEPARTMENT
STORE.
STORE.
BUT YOUR BOSSES ARE DOING THE
SAME THING.
DOESNT MATTER IF YOU MAKE $15 AN HOUR OR $15 MILLION A YEAR.
YOUR SEXUAL HARASSMENT SITUATION
IS JUST AS IMPORTANT.
>> THATS WHY THE #METOO IS SO
POWERFUL.
POWERFUL.
IF THEY SEE THEM, MAYBE IM NOT ALONE.Y SEE THEM, MAYBE IM NOT
ALONE.
I DONT KNOW HOW WE WOUND UP IN 2016 WITH A CANDIDATE THAT GOT
ACCUSED BY 16 WOMEN OF SEXUAL
HARASSMENT AND ASSAULT, AND ONE
WHO WOULD HAVE BROUGHT SOMEONE
INTO THE WHITE HOUSE WHO HAD
BEEN ACCUSED OF RAPE.
THOSE WERE OUR CHOICES IN 2016.
THAT WAS REALITY.
THE QUESTION IS, HOW FAR WEVE
COME AS WOMEN AND WHY WE DONT
HAVE BETTER CHOICES.
AND I REFER YOU TO THE STATE OF
ALABAMA, WHERE WE HAVE A MAN WHO
IS POLLING THREE POINTS AHEAD
WHO HAS BEEN ACCUSED BY OVER TEN
WOMEN OF ASSAULTING THEM OR
ACCUSING THEM AS YOUNG AS AGE
14.
14.
HE DENIES IT.
TRUMP DENIED THE CLAIMS.
BILL CLINTON DENIES HIS CLAIMS,
TOO.
HARVEY WEINSTEIN DENIES HIS
CLAIMS.
THEYRE IN THERAPY.
YOU TELL ME. HOW FAR WEVE COME.
>> IT DOESNT FEEL LIKE WEVE
COME FAR.
COME FAR. IN 1991, ANITA HILL CAME
FORWARD.
FORWARD.
AND SPEAKING OF
SILENCE-BREAKERS.
>> SHE HAD NO ONE STANDING WITH
HER.
[ APPLAUSE ] >> WE DONT GET TO THE #METOO
MOMENT WITHOUT ANITA HILL.
AND IMAGINE IF WE HAD BELIEVED
HER THEN.
HER THEN.
IMAGINE WHERE WE WOULD BE IF WE BELIEVED WHAT SHE WAS SAYING.WE
BELIEVED WHAT SHE WAS SAYING. I LIVED IN ALABAMA FOR A LONG
TIME.
TIME.
AND I THINK OF SOMEBODY LIKE ROY MORAL, WHO STANDS AS A MORAL ROY
MORAL, WHO STANDS AS A MORAL AUTHORITY.
AUTHORITY.
WHO RAN ON THIS PLATFORM BEING
THE MORAL AUTHORITY.
WE PULL THE CURTAIN BACK AND SEE
YOU ARE REPUGNANT.
YOU ARE NOT A MORAL AUTHORITY AT
ALL.
>> AND STOP TALKING ABOUT THE
POLITICAL PARTIES.
ITS YOUR CANDIDATE.
ITS NOT ABOUT PARTY.
IF YOURE A SEXUAL HARASSMENT VICTIM.E A SEXUAL HARASSMENT
VICTIM.
STOP PROTECTING YOUR GUY.
BECAUSE HES PART OF YOUR PARTY. >> THE DICHOTOMY THAT WE ARE IN
A TIME RIGHT NOW THAT THE
SILENCE-BREAKERS ARE THE "TIME"
PERSON OF THE YEAR.
AND YET, YOU HAVE A PEDOPHILE --
AN ACCUSED PEDOPHILE RUNS IN
ALABAMA.
ALABAMA.
>> AGE 14 WASNT PERSUASIVE
ENOUGH.
7.
WOULD THAT DO IT?
HE DENIES IT, I GUESS IT.
WE HAD OVER TEN WOMEN COME
FORWARD.
>> THEY ALL DENY IT. >> LET ME SAY AS A RECOVERING
LAWYER, IT IS TRUE TO NOT EVERY
CLAIM IS VALID, RIGHT?
THE PEOPLE POLITICALLY,
ESPECIALLY, WANT TO MAKE AN
ALLOWANCE FOR THE POSSIBILITY
THAT IT IS A HIT CAMPAIGN.
IT IS HARDER FOR THE POLITICAL
ACCUSERS.
ACCUSERS.
THE ACCUSERS OF POLITICIANS TO COME FORWARD.OF POLITICIANS TO
COME FORWARD.
>> SPEAKING OF THE HIT CAMPAIGN, WHO WAS ACCUSED OF PLANTING AGN,
WHO WAS ACCUSED OF PLANTING A PERSON TO LIE?
THE REALITY IS, THERES ONLY 3%
OF PEOPLE WHO COME FORWARD HAVE FALSE ACCUSATIONS. FORWARD HAVE
FALSE ACCUSATIONS. THE NUMBER IS VERY LOW FOR FALSE
ACCUSATIONS.
ACCUSATIONS.
PEOPLE DONT WANT TO GO THROUGH THIS.E DONT WANT TO GO THROUGH
THIS.
>> RIGHT.
SO FUN.
>> NOBODY WANTS TO DO THIS. >> HE WAS BANNED FROM A MALL AND
A HIGH SCHOOL BECAUSE HE WAS,
YOU KNOW, BEING A JERK.
>> RIGHT.
>> RIGHT.
GOOD LUCK TO THE CHILDREN OF THE
MALL OFFICIALS D.C.S OF D.C.
>> THIS IS WHERE OUR VOICES COME
IN, THOUGH.
ALL THESE PEOPLE LOST THEIR
JOBS.
HARVEY WEINSTEIN LOST HIS JOB. KEVIN SPACEY LOST HIS JOB.JOB.
KEVIN SPACEY LOST HIS JOB. I CAN GO ON AND ON.
AND YET, WE ELECTED TO THE
HIGHEST OFFICE IN THIS COUNTRY,
A MAN WITH ALL THOSE ACCUSATIONS
AGAINST HIM.
AGAINST HIM. AND WE HAVE OUR VOICE NOW.
ALABAMA HAS A VOICE HERE, A TIME
TO SAY, ROY MOORE, NO.
>> I BELIEVE IN THE PEOPLE OF
ALABAMA.
ALABAMA.
DOUG JONES IS A GOOD CANDIDATE.
>> ITS A PARTISAN DIVIDE.
THERES PEOPLE THAT DONT WANT A DEMOCRAT IN THE OFFICE, PERIOD.
AND SOMEHOW, THEYVE GOTTEN FINE
WITH SOMEONE IN OFFICE WHO HAS
BEEN ACCUSED OF WOMEN WHO WERE
14 WHEN THEY WERE SEXUALLY
ASSAULTED.
ASSAULTED.
NOSE ARE THE FACTS. WE HAVE SO MUCH MORE TO DISCUSS
WITH OUR "TIME" HONOREES AFTER
THIS BREAK.
