1
00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:03,680
Speaker 1: You and Me Both is a production of I Heart Radio.

2
00:00:05,920 --> 00:00:09,000
Speaker 1: I'm Hillary Clinton, and this is You and Me Both.

3
00:00:09,640 --> 00:00:14,960
Speaker 1: I'm excited that our podcast will officially return on February six,

4
00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:20,079
Speaker 1: but in the meantime, some significant events have unfolded over

5
00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:23,640
Speaker 1: these last few weeks, so we're back with a special

6
00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:31,440
Speaker 1: bonus episode. I think everyone listening knows what happened on

7
00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:36,839
Speaker 1: January six, when the United States Capital was attacked by

8
00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:42,560
Speaker 1: a group of seditionist insurrectionist traders. You know, I try

9
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:44,959
Speaker 1: to get out if the weather permits, to take a

10
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:47,720
Speaker 1: long walk every day. And I was out walking and

11
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:50,120
Speaker 1: I don't look at my phone, and I don't know

12
00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:53,160
Speaker 1: what's going on in the world. And I walked back

13
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:59,640
Speaker 1: into my house after the attack had started, and my

14
00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:01,840
Speaker 1: husband and had the television on. He said, you've got

15
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:05,959
Speaker 1: to see this. I couldn't believe what I was seeing.

16
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:11,120
Speaker 1: I was just shaken and shocked and angry and sad.

17
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:16,480
Speaker 1: Presiding over the house at the time that our capital

18
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:20,400
Speaker 1: was breached was the Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi.

19
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 1: You know, she's someone I've known a long time, worked

20
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:32,319
Speaker 1: with over a lot of years. She's incredibly thoughtful, tough, smart, effective.

21
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:34,920
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just not an accident that after having

22
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:39,080
Speaker 1: literally five kids, she joined politics thirty years ago when

23
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:43,360
Speaker 1: she was fifty years old and just ascended because of

24
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:47,920
Speaker 1: her character, her smarts, her skills. She's someone I've been

25
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 1: eager to have as a guest on the podcast. I

26
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:55,760
Speaker 1: never ever could have predicted that I would finally talk

27
00:01:55,840 --> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 1: to her about such an unprecedented, terrible moment in American history. So,

28
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:07,960
Speaker 1: Speaker Pelosi, thank you for being here, and I, as

29
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:12,840
Speaker 1: an American, am incredibly grateful for your steadiness and your

30
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:18,360
Speaker 1: devotion to our democracy. How are you holding up? Well? First,

31
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:20,920
Speaker 1: let me just say I was very much looking forward

32
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:24,839
Speaker 1: to being with you at the kind words that you say,

33
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:28,240
Speaker 1: I accept on behalf of my House Democratic Caucus colleagues.

34
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 1: They've been so courageous, so steadfast, so patriotic, so committed

35
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:36,359
Speaker 1: to their oath of office, and and that's the source

36
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:40,800
Speaker 1: of not only inspiration but strength to me. So I'm sad.

37
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 1: I'm deeply sad because here it is the capital, this

38
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:50,960
Speaker 1: symbol of democracy, to the world being overrun by people

39
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 1: who are being incited by a person he was not

40
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:58,640
Speaker 1: speaking truth, but he said, well, we've got to move on.

41
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:01,240
Speaker 1: No we can't move on. No, we can't move on.

42
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 1: We we will move on, but we have to take

43
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:09,800
Speaker 1: stock of what this is when the really invasion, because

44
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 1: that's what it was. The invasion of the capital happened

45
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:18,080
Speaker 1: January the six. You were in the middle of certifying

46
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:23,400
Speaker 1: the November election, doing the work of democracy following the constitution.

47
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 1: When did you realize the capital itself had been breached

48
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 1: by the mob? Well, we were, as you say, we

49
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:34,640
Speaker 1: were counting the Electoral College votes to ascertain that Joe

50
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 1: Biden and Kamala Harris would be President and Vice president

51
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 1: United States. So it wasn't a coincidence that had happened

52
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:43,120
Speaker 1: that day. It was purposeful that it happened that day

53
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 1: to prevent us from exercising our constitutional duty to get

54
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:53,720
Speaker 1: this done. With two thirds of the House Republicans voting

55
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:58,200
Speaker 1: that the election was not legitimate and that's really heartbreaking.

56
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 1: So anyway, we were having the debate when the security

57
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 1: just pulled me off the podium. Sometimes staff takes me

58
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:07,840
Speaker 1: off the podium when they think the Republicans are going

59
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 1: to do something obnoxious and I'm like, no, I can

60
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:12,840
Speaker 1: handle it. I can and this now you have to

61
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 1: go so fast that I even left my phone on

62
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:18,280
Speaker 1: the podium. I was using it so I could gauge

63
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 1: the time as people were speaking. The Parliamentary and tells

64
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 1: me at the time, but I like to know a

65
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 1: little in advance, so I left, just pulled me right out,

66
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 1: and they said at that point that there were storming

67
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:35,080
Speaker 1: the capital, and the security just whisked away. But it

68
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 1: was stunning. But now again they are protective, and I thought, well, okay, yeah,

69
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 1: I'll go with you because it's your job to make

70
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:45,839
Speaker 1: sure that I do and I don't want to endanger

71
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 1: anybody else and I'm the target, you know. So so

72
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:51,920
Speaker 1: when we got in the car, I said, well, were

73
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:55,680
Speaker 1: we going like to another room. No, we're going to

74
00:04:55,760 --> 00:05:01,000
Speaker 1: an undisclosed location. But it wasn't about me, because I security,

75
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:04,800
Speaker 1: It's not my members. And they were traumatized by it

76
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 1: somewhere on the floor, somewhere on the gallery watching Because

77
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:12,040
Speaker 1: of COVID, we had to have our distancing and those

78
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:14,680
Speaker 1: up there they had to go under their seats for

79
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:17,160
Speaker 1: a long time, and then they had to like do

80
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:21,719
Speaker 1: a belly crawl across the gallery so that they could

81
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 1: have a safe egress from the chamber because if they

82
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:28,880
Speaker 1: had gone out the door. They were nearest too. They

83
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:31,400
Speaker 1: were there, They were there, and they were out to

84
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:35,640
Speaker 1: harm people. Yes they were. That's becoming clearer and clearer

85
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:38,800
Speaker 1: every day with the evidence that is being found. You know,

86
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:42,080
Speaker 1: it is terrifying though in you know my however, many

87
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:45,520
Speaker 1: years now, being in public life at a high level,

88
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:49,159
Speaker 1: you do have to follow your security. You sometimes grumble

89
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:52,039
Speaker 1: about it. You think, come on, you're overreacting. I know

90
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:54,839
Speaker 1: it's your job, but you know, when I've been told

91
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 1: I need to put on a bulletproof vest or a

92
00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:00,600
Speaker 1: bulletproof raincoat, or people run up to this stage and

93
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:05,360
Speaker 1: grab my arm, it's a terrifying experience. But as you

94
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:08,680
Speaker 1: rightly point out, this wasn't only about you. This was

95
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:12,599
Speaker 1: about your members, Democrats and Republicans, because I know what

96
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:17,080
Speaker 1: a caring heart you have, Nancy, and just the image

97
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 1: of these members elected to represent Americans crawling on their

98
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:30,039
Speaker 1: bellies to escape the House chamber is just beyond outraging.

99
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:35,240
Speaker 1: And it was several hours before you were given the

100
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:38,760
Speaker 1: go ahead to return. What happened then, well, let me

101
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:41,560
Speaker 1: just say that first about my members. I've asked all

102
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:44,920
Speaker 1: of them to write a journal to record how they

103
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:48,360
Speaker 1: saw it. I said, this is history. Your perspective, your

104
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:52,760
Speaker 1: individual perspectives are very important part of that. And then

105
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:55,440
Speaker 1: in another month, I want you to write again your

106
00:06:55,480 --> 00:07:00,160
Speaker 1: perspective because it's this is a pain that people will carry.

107
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:04,040
Speaker 1: It's a big scar on our nation. And again people

108
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:07,240
Speaker 1: felt it very up close and personal. Then so I've

109
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:10,280
Speaker 1: asked them all. I said, this will be the historic record,

110
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:13,400
Speaker 1: and so I'm very excited about seeing what they put

111
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:17,680
Speaker 1: down there because the world should know. Okay, So in

112
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:21,120
Speaker 1: a bipartisan way, Miss McConnell, Chuck Shumer and I that

113
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:24,239
Speaker 1: Stanny Hoyer was there too in Kyburne, we all agreed

114
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:27,440
Speaker 1: we had to go back to the capital. The security

115
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:30,520
Speaker 1: was making suggestions that we would all be transported by

116
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:33,960
Speaker 1: buses to an undisclosed location. The members would come there

117
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:36,880
Speaker 1: and said, now the world has to see. Now, just

118
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:40,120
Speaker 1: get it ready. We're coming back, and so you give

119
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:42,440
Speaker 1: us a reasonable estimate as to when that could be.

120
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:46,400
Speaker 1: But understand this, we're coming back and we're opening the

121
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:49,720
Speaker 1: session in the capital of the United States, and our

122
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:54,000
Speaker 1: place was still a mess, but that's unimportant. It was

123
00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:56,560
Speaker 1: safe for us, and we're not coming back one minute

124
00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 1: before it's safe but not one minute after it's safe.

125
00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:02,960
Speaker 1: So let's just get that done. And I think it

126
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 1: was really important. But that was by Parson. Miss McConnell

127
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:10,120
Speaker 1: was very insistent as well that we do that, and

128
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:12,880
Speaker 1: I think it was important for our country and for

129
00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:17,680
Speaker 1: the members. I thought so too. I was horrified by

130
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:21,520
Speaker 1: everything that I saw happening on television, but I was

131
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:26,160
Speaker 1: heartened by the return to the capital and to the

132
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:31,160
Speaker 1: business at hand. It was an absolutely essential message to

133
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:34,120
Speaker 1: send not only to our country, but to the world,

134
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:37,680
Speaker 1: and in particular to those who thought that they could

135
00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:41,520
Speaker 1: disrupt our democracy. I know that in the vandalization of

136
00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:44,840
Speaker 1: your office, in addition to taking things like your left

137
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:48,920
Speaker 1: turn and other objects from your office, they left you

138
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:52,000
Speaker 1: a message that said we will not back down. Well,

139
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:55,240
Speaker 1: you did not back down, and the leadership and the

140
00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:59,200
Speaker 1: members did not back down. When you look forward, Nancy,

141
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:03,160
Speaker 1: what do you see as a path that you and

142
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:07,319
Speaker 1: members of Congress, and obviously the incoming Biden Harris administration,

143
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:12,040
Speaker 1: but really Americans across our country can follow to try

144
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:15,840
Speaker 1: to overcome the damage that has been done. Well, we

145
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:20,040
Speaker 1: have that responsibility, that's for sure. But I do believe

146
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:23,680
Speaker 1: that Joe Biden is a unifier that he will be

147
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:28,840
Speaker 1: respectful as he is firm as we go forward. I

148
00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:33,200
Speaker 1: do think a strong economic package that lifts people up.

149
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:37,600
Speaker 1: You said so beautifully in your campaign about people seeing

150
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:40,680
Speaker 1: a place for themselves in the future. Many of these

151
00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:44,240
Speaker 1: people don't see that place. And if he shows them

152
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:46,959
Speaker 1: that there is a place for them, it's not a

153
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:52,000
Speaker 1: zero sum game. Women and minorities and LGBD cube people

154
00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:57,199
Speaker 1: are are thriving. That isn't at their expense because we're

155
00:09:57,240 --> 00:10:00,560
Speaker 1: addressing the climate crisis. It isn't at the expense of

156
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:04,360
Speaker 1: their job. Now there's one other element that I have

157
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:07,560
Speaker 1: been talking about for a long time that gives me

158
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:11,840
Speaker 1: great grief as a Catholic. I think that Donald Trump

159
00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:15,840
Speaker 1: as a president because of the woman's right to choose.

160
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:19,360
Speaker 1: When he signed that paper saying these are the judges

161
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:22,840
Speaker 1: that I will appoint. That was the dog whistle to

162
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:26,480
Speaker 1: the evangelicals, to the Catholics and all the rest, a

163
00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:30,680
Speaker 1: woman will not have the right to choose. And when

164
00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 1: you see the polls of that impeachment, now think what

165
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:39,040
Speaker 1: happened was wrong somebody some percent said he's responsible, but

166
00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:42,599
Speaker 1: forty percent don't think he should be impeached. Well, why

167
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:46,880
Speaker 1: one issue? Abortion? And that is that is enough. When

168
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:50,160
Speaker 1: you take the greed of those who want their tax cut,

169
00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:55,240
Speaker 1: that's probably a small number, but nonetheless a number. And

170
00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:58,240
Speaker 1: then you take the abortion issue. And many of these

171
00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:02,880
Speaker 1: people are very good people, that's just their point of view,

172
00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:06,920
Speaker 1: but they were willing to sell the whole democracy down

173
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:10,080
Speaker 1: the river for that one issue. And you know, one

174
00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 1: of the terrible ironies of their position is that starting

175
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:19,280
Speaker 1: in the nineties under democratic presidents, the abortion rate went

176
00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:25,040
Speaker 1: way down, and with proper contraception and education and stigma

177
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:29,880
Speaker 1: free conversation, the numbers can continue to go way down.

178
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:35,600
Speaker 1: So what's really incredibly sad is how those who, in

179
00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:39,439
Speaker 1: my opinion and experience, do not view this issue as

180
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:45,080
Speaker 1: a priority, have used the legitimate questions, concerns, and yes,

181
00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:50,080
Speaker 1: understanding of faith to obtain and use power. When we

182
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:54,240
Speaker 1: said then was if you reject terminating a pregnancy, you

183
00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:57,520
Speaker 1: should love contraception. That's right. And again there's a great

184
00:11:57,520 --> 00:11:59,960
Speaker 1: deal of hypocrisy here because many of these people, of course,

185
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:04,319
Speaker 1: so they're not having thirteen children as one as somebody

186
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:07,840
Speaker 1: who had five children, almost exactly to the day in

187
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:11,120
Speaker 1: six years I said to my colleagues, when you have

188
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:13,720
Speaker 1: five children six years you come around and talk to

189
00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:16,040
Speaker 1: me as a Catholic. You know, I come from a

190
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:19,320
Speaker 1: family that is I would like to see me soften

191
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:22,320
Speaker 1: my message on this subject. But they know this is

192
00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:25,360
Speaker 1: something I am all the way with and and so

193
00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:29,640
Speaker 1: I understand and I respect their point of view for them, right,

194
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:31,520
Speaker 1: But that doesn't mean it's a point of view for

195
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:34,720
Speaker 1: somebody else, right. And your overall point is, you know,

196
00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:39,760
Speaker 1: let's have a true economic safety net. Let's have a

197
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:44,560
Speaker 1: true jobs program, including an infrastructure program, which I know

198
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:48,400
Speaker 1: is at the heart of your commitment to the future.

199
00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:52,480
Speaker 1: Let's have a health care system that covers everyone with quality,

200
00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:57,600
Speaker 1: affordable healthcare. And then let's talk. I think first things first,

201
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:14,160
Speaker 1: we'll be right back. We learned a lot about our

202
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:18,520
Speaker 1: system of government over the last four years with a

203
00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:24,280
Speaker 1: president who disdains democracy and as you have said numerous times,

204
00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:27,080
Speaker 1: has other agendas. What they all are, I don't think

205
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:30,640
Speaker 1: we yet know. I hope historically we will find out

206
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:34,400
Speaker 1: who he's beholden to, who pulls his strings. I would

207
00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:36,400
Speaker 1: love to see his phone records to see whether he

208
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:40,640
Speaker 1: was talking to putin the day that the insurgents invaded

209
00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:45,200
Speaker 1: our capital. But we now know that not just him,

210
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:50,000
Speaker 1: but his enablers, his accomplices, his cult members have the

211
00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:55,040
Speaker 1: same disregard for democracy. Do you think we need a

212
00:13:55,160 --> 00:14:00,280
Speaker 1: nine eleven type commission to investigate and report every thing

213
00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:03,280
Speaker 1: that they can pull together and explain what happened? I do.

214
00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:06,040
Speaker 1: Let me again to your point of who is he

215
00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:09,440
Speaker 1: beholden to? As I've said over and over, as I

216
00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:11,520
Speaker 1: said to him in that picture with my blue suit,

217
00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:13,920
Speaker 1: as I was leaving, what I was saying to him,

218
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:18,960
Speaker 1: as I was pointing rudely at him, with you, Mr President,

219
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:22,240
Speaker 1: all roads lead to Putin. I don't know what Putin

220
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:26,920
Speaker 1: has on him politically, financially, or personally, but what happened

221
00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:29,560
Speaker 1: last week was a gift to Putin because Putin wants

222
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:33,280
Speaker 1: to undermine democracy in our country and throughout the world.

223
00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:38,080
Speaker 1: And these people, unbeknownst to them, maybe are Putent puppets.

224
00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:41,200
Speaker 1: They were doing Putin's business when they did that at

225
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:44,640
Speaker 1: the incitement of an insurrection by the President of the

226
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:48,520
Speaker 1: United States. So yes, we should have a nine eleven commission,

227
00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:51,760
Speaker 1: and there's strong support in the Congress to do that.

228
00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:54,080
Speaker 1: We can't do that until we can pass a bill,

229
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:57,360
Speaker 1: and since the Senate's not in, we'll have to do

230
00:14:57,440 --> 00:14:59,800
Speaker 1: that as soon as Senate is him. But there is

231
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:03,600
Speaker 1: or for that. In the meantime, though, I've announced that

232
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:08,840
Speaker 1: General Honoray would be giving us guidance as to control

233
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:12,520
Speaker 1: and command. Clearly there needs to be a restructuring of

234
00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:16,680
Speaker 1: the infrastructure of security in the capital. For listeners who

235
00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:20,600
Speaker 1: may not know, General Honorey is the retired general who

236
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:26,400
Speaker 1: literally came to the rescue of the Katrina disaster. Recovery

237
00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:33,280
Speaker 1: and reconstruction. His command, presence, his sense of humor, his

238
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:37,080
Speaker 1: toughness are all ingredients to do exactly what you've asked

239
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:40,280
Speaker 1: him to do. So we're not waiting for the commission,

240
00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:43,840
Speaker 1: but the commission will have a bigger agenda and we'll

241
00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:48,400
Speaker 1: get to the bottom of what complicity members of Congress

242
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:51,880
Speaker 1: have in all of this, and if they did, they

243
00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:55,640
Speaker 1: should be prosecuted as well as others. Whether it's in

244
00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:58,600
Speaker 1: a security anybody who has anything to do with the

245
00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:02,040
Speaker 1: Capital could have been a res worse for whose offices

246
00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:04,640
Speaker 1: were here. I didn't care that they damage things in

247
00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:07,280
Speaker 1: my life. I don't care about things broken. The big

248
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:09,600
Speaker 1: mirror and the speakers always, I don't care about. I

249
00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:14,920
Speaker 1: do care that they traumatized my staff, young staff, traumatized them,

250
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:17,720
Speaker 1: scared them. If you could see the look in their

251
00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:20,760
Speaker 1: eyes after having to be under the desk or nearly

252
00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:24,640
Speaker 1: three hours silent in the dark as people were pounding

253
00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:29,080
Speaker 1: on the doors out for blood. When you return that

254
00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:33,239
Speaker 1: night to certify the election in those very same chambers

255
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:37,560
Speaker 1: that had been breached, it was an affirmation of democracy,

256
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:40,880
Speaker 1: but it was also a rebuke of the president on

257
00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:45,120
Speaker 1: the other end of Pennsylvania Avenue who tried to undermine

258
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:48,120
Speaker 1: our election. I know that you reached out to Vice

259
00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:51,920
Speaker 1: President Pence. Can you tell us about that. Well, we

260
00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:54,800
Speaker 1: had been in touch with Vice President Prince all during

261
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:58,400
Speaker 1: the time that we were in undisclosed locations. He was

262
00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:02,120
Speaker 1: protected in the capital all although they were looking for

263
00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:05,959
Speaker 1: him as well. They're going to hang him and something

264
00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:09,680
Speaker 1: violent to me and the other members were expendable as

265
00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:13,720
Speaker 1: well in their view. So during the day we had

266
00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:16,560
Speaker 1: a shared view that as soon as we could, we

267
00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:22,359
Speaker 1: would resume the ascertaining that Biden was president. And I

268
00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:26,680
Speaker 1: have to say that he had resolved that the constitution

269
00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:31,000
Speaker 1: would be honored. So our communication was more in terms

270
00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:34,560
Speaker 1: of how long did he think it would take what

271
00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:38,399
Speaker 1: intelligence was he getting compared to what we were getting

272
00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:41,280
Speaker 1: and was it consistent. And then at some point all

273
00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:44,240
Speaker 1: of us on the same calls at the same time,

274
00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:49,400
Speaker 1: Democrats and Republicans, House and Senate, and the Vice President.

275
00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:53,359
Speaker 1: So he was a positive factor in the course of

276
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:56,879
Speaker 1: the day, and I was very concerned that he was

277
00:17:56,920 --> 00:17:59,920
Speaker 1: still in the capital. But he said at one point

278
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:04,080
Speaker 1: at the entourage of a vice president leaving the capital

279
00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:07,000
Speaker 1: could have been provocative in some ways as well, So

280
00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:11,080
Speaker 1: that decision was made following that. Of course, we wanted

281
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:15,520
Speaker 1: him to do the amendment to the Constitution, which he

282
00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:19,800
Speaker 1: did not feel he could do. I was disappointed because

283
00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:23,680
Speaker 1: this president is a clear and present danger to the country.

284
00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:26,879
Speaker 1: Every day that he is in office, every hour that

285
00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:30,000
Speaker 1: he is in office, he can do something very damaging.

286
00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:33,840
Speaker 1: Just for example, we got sworn in on January three,

287
00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:37,199
Speaker 1: a Sunday, not a normal day for swearing in. Normally

288
00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:40,080
Speaker 1: we would wait until Tuesday to get sworn in, but

289
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:43,359
Speaker 1: we could not give him that time, which would be

290
00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:47,800
Speaker 1: recess between the end of one session at the beginning another.

291
00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:51,360
Speaker 1: He could appoint hundreds of appointees that would take maybe

292
00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:54,879
Speaker 1: a year to undo damage the ability of the Biden

293
00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:59,600
Speaker 1: administration to make appointments and proceed with an agenda. So

294
00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:02,439
Speaker 1: we'd and will give him five minutes. We adjourned and

295
00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:06,040
Speaker 1: we came in session right away. He's a very dangerous man,

296
00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:10,200
Speaker 1: and we had to make sure that we protected against

297
00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:12,919
Speaker 1: anything he might do to hurt the country. And you

298
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:17,359
Speaker 1: were so concerned that you actually called the Chairman of

299
00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:21,639
Speaker 1: the Joint Chiefs Staff, the highest ranking military officer in

300
00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:26,840
Speaker 1: our country, to express your concern about this man starting

301
00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:31,600
Speaker 1: a war, even god forbid, using a nuclear weapon. Didn't you, Well,

302
00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:33,840
Speaker 1: here's a man who is not allowed to be on Twitter,

303
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:38,119
Speaker 1: and yet he has access to the nuclear code. Really,

304
00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:41,320
Speaker 1: that's right. I think that of the Chairman of the

305
00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:44,600
Speaker 1: Joint Chiefs is a patriotic American. He understands his oath

306
00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:47,560
Speaker 1: of office to the Constitution. I don't know that he

307
00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:51,200
Speaker 1: appreciate it might call, but in any event, I thought

308
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:53,600
Speaker 1: it wasn't very important to know that there had to

309
00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:57,720
Speaker 1: be safeguards from this person who was unhinged. He is

310
00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:02,560
Speaker 1: unhinged and really either doesn't know what the Constitution says

311
00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:06,199
Speaker 1: or doesn't care. Yeah, I think it's both. I think

312
00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:09,320
Speaker 1: it's both, and I was heartened by the statement the

313
00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:14,680
Speaker 1: Joint Chiefs put out calling what happened a sedition and insurrection,

314
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:19,840
Speaker 1: which lays a framework and a foundation for the Congress

315
00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:23,959
Speaker 1: to proceed to hold members accountable. If what we're seeing

316
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:27,960
Speaker 1: and hearing proves to be true that there were guided

317
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:33,000
Speaker 1: tours and information provided before the six and even during

318
00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:38,600
Speaker 1: the attack, that's unacceptable, beyond the pale, and there has

319
00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:41,399
Speaker 1: to be accountability. You know. One of the things that

320
00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:43,760
Speaker 1: gets lost in all of this, which you are never

321
00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:47,080
Speaker 1: far from focusing on, is the agenda that you want

322
00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:51,360
Speaker 1: to get past with the new administration, and in particular,

323
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:55,960
Speaker 1: it is just heartbreaking that while this attack on our

324
00:20:56,000 --> 00:21:01,040
Speaker 1: democracy proceeds, the numbers of people Americans dying from COVID

325
00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:06,920
Speaker 1: keep going up, small businesses keep closing, unemployment requests keep rising,

326
00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:12,119
Speaker 1: the vaccine rollout is too slow. So you're once again

327
00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:15,679
Speaker 1: going to be in the position of balancing how we

328
00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:19,560
Speaker 1: hold the president and everyone else accountable with the very

329
00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:23,439
Speaker 1: urgent needs that the people of America have. How are

330
00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:25,280
Speaker 1: you thinking about that? At least you're going to have

331
00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:29,639
Speaker 1: good partners with the incoming Biden Harris administration and thankfully

332
00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:34,040
Speaker 1: control of the Senate it's a big difference. The day

333
00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:39,679
Speaker 1: of the insurrection, thirty six hundred eighty six people died

334
00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:45,879
Speaker 1: of coronavirus. The next day, four thousand people die. The

335
00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:49,359
Speaker 1: record keeps being broken. It's so sad. And when you

336
00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:52,600
Speaker 1: think it's January, go back a year when the President

337
00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:56,560
Speaker 1: was first surprised of this and then the subsequent actions

338
00:21:56,600 --> 00:22:01,840
Speaker 1: he took. It's a hoax, denial, delay, rejection of science,

339
00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:04,840
Speaker 1: rejection of governance. See, they don't believe in governance. So

340
00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:09,359
Speaker 1: if government says we're a mask, they reject governance and

341
00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:12,479
Speaker 1: they reject the science that says we're the mask. So

342
00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:16,000
Speaker 1: a lot of these depths, not all, many of these

343
00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:20,400
Speaker 1: deaths are at the President's store step. So recognizing there

344
00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:23,280
Speaker 1: has to be a change and the attitude of the

345
00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:27,280
Speaker 1: American people and the availability of the vaccine now in

346
00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:30,680
Speaker 1: a fair and equitable way. So I'm very pleased that

347
00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:35,119
Speaker 1: the agenda, the rescue and recovery package that Joe Biden

348
00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:38,520
Speaker 1: has put forth. His agenda is very close to what

349
00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:43,240
Speaker 1: we've had in our legislation already. As you said, the infrastructure,

350
00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:47,960
Speaker 1: peace job creating good paying jobs in our country with

351
00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:52,760
Speaker 1: all the workforce development, so that many more people can participate.

352
00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:57,639
Speaker 1: Many more small businesses, women, minority people of color, Native

353
00:22:57,680 --> 00:23:02,879
Speaker 1: American veterans, rural businesses can participate in how we build

354
00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:06,560
Speaker 1: back better. So we're very excited about it, and I

355
00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:10,080
Speaker 1: would hope that we could do so in a bipartisan way.

356
00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:15,159
Speaker 1: Infrastructure has usually not been a partisan issue, right, and

357
00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:19,000
Speaker 1: so hopefully we can find common ground there. But I

358
00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:21,480
Speaker 1: don't have to tell you the importance of the bully

359
00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:24,320
Speaker 1: pulpit of the President of the United States. So when

360
00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:27,840
Speaker 1: people talk about, well, we couldn't convince some of this

361
00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:30,080
Speaker 1: or that, no, we didn't have the bully pulpit. So

362
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:33,280
Speaker 1: having that bully pulpit is going to I think make

363
00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:36,239
Speaker 1: a very big difference. As we said it earlier, Then

364
00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:40,199
Speaker 1: people see a place for themselves economically, for themselves and

365
00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:43,679
Speaker 1: their children to take some of the edge off of

366
00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:48,920
Speaker 1: that insecurity, we're taking a quick break. Stay with us.

367
00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:00,439
Speaker 1: I'm going to be at the inauguration, and I know

368
00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:04,399
Speaker 1: you'll be at the inauguration. I know that it's not

369
00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:08,280
Speaker 1: going to be like any inauguration we've ever attended, but

370
00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:12,680
Speaker 1: I think it's possible once uh it's finalized and we

371
00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:15,280
Speaker 1: have a new president and a new Vice President to

372
00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:20,440
Speaker 1: proceed on both the economic agenda and the democracy agenda,

373
00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:24,600
Speaker 1: because one of the very first bills that you passed

374
00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:28,879
Speaker 1: in the Congress back after the election was to fix

375
00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:32,800
Speaker 1: our voting system, to set the rules so that these

376
00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:38,800
Speaker 1: arguments and these conspiracy theories can be easily deflected or

377
00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:42,320
Speaker 1: punctured because we all know what the rules are. And

378
00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:46,000
Speaker 1: I'm really looking forward to the Congress acting on both

379
00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:49,320
Speaker 1: the economy and democracy and all that that will mean

380
00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:52,959
Speaker 1: for the country. Well, I appreciate your saying that that

381
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:55,199
Speaker 1: will be a large part of our agenda when we

382
00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:57,919
Speaker 1: go in. I talked about build back better. But to

383
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:01,080
Speaker 1: build back better, people have to have the confidence that

384
00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:05,200
Speaker 1: their voice means something, that their participation means something. It

385
00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:09,159
Speaker 1: won't be guided by big dark money or abuse of

386
00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:12,399
Speaker 1: the system in terms of the voting rights and the

387
00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:15,200
Speaker 1: rest of that. But let me just say to you,

388
00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:19,160
Speaker 1: thank you the inspiration that you are the courage. It's

389
00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:23,879
Speaker 1: encourages the thing when people talk about their convictions and

390
00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:26,159
Speaker 1: their commitment to this or that, do they have the

391
00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:29,720
Speaker 1: courage to make the fight? Can they take the heat

392
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:33,320
Speaker 1: that goes with it? And you, I often wondered when

393
00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:36,520
Speaker 1: you were in the White House, and since how does

394
00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:39,879
Speaker 1: she do it? Because these people are so they have

395
00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:43,520
Speaker 1: such bad intentions. It's one thing we go confident in

396
00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:46,800
Speaker 1: what we believe in that we've come to fight, debate

397
00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:51,680
Speaker 1: and prevail or compromise, find a way. We respect difference

398
00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:56,520
Speaker 1: of opinion. But what happened during those Clinton years, the

399
00:25:56,560 --> 00:26:01,320
Speaker 1: particular presidential Clinteers coming from New Language and um Congress

400
00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:04,800
Speaker 1: of the United States, the House of Representatives in particular changed.

401
00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:08,040
Speaker 1: That was the threshold that was crossed, that went from

402
00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:13,159
Speaker 1: differences of opinion to the politics of personal destruction. You

403
00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:20,680
Speaker 1: handled it so patriotically, so personally strong, a real inspiration

404
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:25,800
Speaker 1: to the country. But two women something so very very special.

405
00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:30,240
Speaker 1: I'll keep saying to women, another woman's success is your success.

406
00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:34,520
Speaker 1: You don't have to be concerned. Take heart with that.

407
00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:37,560
Speaker 1: You made a difference, you changed. It was transformative what

408
00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:40,679
Speaker 1: you did for a country. I'm getting emotional even to

409
00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:44,200
Speaker 1: talk about it, because our whole family in a way,

410
00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:47,880
Speaker 1: if you feel personally, we're loving to you for your

411
00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:52,639
Speaker 1: contribution to the country, but particularly to the courage, the brilliance,

412
00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:56,680
Speaker 1: the vision that you had the knowledge of all these things. Nobody,

413
00:26:56,720 --> 00:26:59,720
Speaker 1: nobody in recent times is as qualified as you to

414
00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:02,639
Speaker 1: be president of the United States now, Joe Biden, he

415
00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:07,200
Speaker 1: was vice president, but up until then, George Bush, Barack Obama,

416
00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:12,800
Speaker 1: they would admit, Bill Clinton would admit, well, I just

417
00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:17,800
Speaker 1: feel very blessed to have been able to stand up

418
00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:19,919
Speaker 1: for our country. And I know that's how you feel, Nancy.

419
00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:24,560
Speaker 1: I mean it sounds, maybe to some ears listening incredibly

420
00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:28,560
Speaker 1: old fashioned and out of date, but if you're raised

421
00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:31,800
Speaker 1: to love America with all of its faults, it's like

422
00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:34,480
Speaker 1: the unconditional love you want to give to a child,

423
00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:37,359
Speaker 1: or that a child hopes to get from a parent.

424
00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:40,280
Speaker 1: You're not a perfect person, we're not a perfect country,

425
00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:45,400
Speaker 1: but we have come so far toward trying to realize

426
00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:50,399
Speaker 1: our fundamental founding values. And I think what gets me

427
00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:51,840
Speaker 1: up in the morning, and I know what gets you

428
00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:54,840
Speaker 1: up in the morning is to continue to stand up

429
00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:59,840
Speaker 1: for those values despite the storms that can be create

430
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:04,800
Speaker 1: it around us. And you have been speaking of beacons

431
00:28:04,840 --> 00:28:08,959
Speaker 1: the extraordinary leader that we need it at this time.

432
00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:14,879
Speaker 1: And I can only thank you and pass on not

433
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:18,680
Speaker 1: only my gratitude, but I know the gratitude of many,

434
00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:22,080
Speaker 1: many hundreds of millions of people here at home. And

435
00:28:22,119 --> 00:28:25,480
Speaker 1: around the world that in one of our country's darkest

436
00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:28,200
Speaker 1: hours we had a leader like you. Well, you're nice

437
00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:30,600
Speaker 1: to say that. I will be there in your corner,

438
00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:36,040
Speaker 1: cheering you on doing everything I can to be part

439
00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:40,520
Speaker 1: of the effort to build back better and not only

440
00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:44,640
Speaker 1: deal with our immediate problems, but our long term challenges

441
00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:47,440
Speaker 1: that our country faces. Well, I thank you for your

442
00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:50,040
Speaker 1: very kind words. As I say, except on behalf of

443
00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:53,280
Speaker 1: my house Democrats, who are so courageous. It takes no

444
00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:56,360
Speaker 1: courage for me. My district gives me so much latitude,

445
00:28:56,680 --> 00:29:00,600
Speaker 1: but for them it does. But also just say has

446
00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:03,520
Speaker 1: said this about you before. When people ask me what

447
00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:06,000
Speaker 1: are the three most important issues facing the Congress, I

448
00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:09,440
Speaker 1: always say the same thing. Our children are children are children,

449
00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:13,040
Speaker 1: their health, their education, the economic security of their families,

450
00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:16,840
Speaker 1: safe environment which they can thrive, and world at peace

451
00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:19,360
Speaker 1: in which they can reach their fulfillment. And as I've

452
00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:22,280
Speaker 1: said about you, nobody has done more for our children,

453
00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:25,920
Speaker 1: our children, their children than Hillary Clinton, Hillary Clinton, Hillary Clinton.

454
00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:30,320
Speaker 1: And now that your grandmother, we all understand it's all

455
00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:33,560
Speaker 1: about the future. We can take care of our children,

456
00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:36,840
Speaker 1: but the grandchildren there are messengers to the future. Is

457
00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:39,280
Speaker 1: Elijah Cummings is a message to a future that we

458
00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:42,000
Speaker 1: will never see. So I thank you for that. I

459
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:44,800
Speaker 1: always say to the women, when you get into the arena,

460
00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:47,480
Speaker 1: you have to be ready to take a punch. You

461
00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:49,640
Speaker 1: also have to be ready to throw a punch. That's

462
00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:54,760
Speaker 1: right for the children. Amen. We will wrap up on

463
00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:58,800
