I don't think it's unfortunate, I will 6 00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:45,320 Speaker 1: say this not I don't think it is unfortunate that 7 00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:49,760 Speaker 1: people don't recognize their power until their power is taken 8 00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:53,080 Speaker 1: away from them. And maybe that is human nature, right, 9 00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:58,520 Speaker 1: But for years, for years, the Republican Party has been 10 00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:02,320 Speaker 1: talking about the way in which they want to return 11 00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:06,720 Speaker 1: this nation to what they believe is its puritanical, white 12 00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:11,199 Speaker 1: evangelical Christian roots. That they want a nation that abides 13 00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:16,640 Speaker 1: by their Bible and their interpretation thereof. And they've been 14 00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:19,559 Speaker 1: using the courts, and they've been using schools, and they've 15 00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:24,160 Speaker 1: been using all sorts of avenues and strategies and order 16 00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:33,080 Speaker 1: to accomplish their authoritarian, fascist Christian rule. And yet all 17 00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:38,399 Speaker 1: of these years, all of these decades, Democrats have continued 18 00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:45,959 Speaker 1: to believe that Republicans are their rational ideological adversaries, that 19 00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:52,000 Speaker 1: these people with their white supremacist ideas, and their anti 20 00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:57,400 Speaker 1: every single thing, just listed, anti women, anti black, anti Asian, 21 00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:02,080 Speaker 1: anti Latinas, anti Muslim, like, just them all down that 22 00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:08,840 Speaker 1: somehow they were worthy of being considered rational or people 23 00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:15,120 Speaker 1: that are open to collaboration and compromise. And it is now, 24 00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:20,960 Speaker 1: as we have seen, the Court, the Supreme Court become weaponized, 25 00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:25,560 Speaker 1: a weaponized tool of the radicalized right, that all of 26 00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:30,600 Speaker 1: a sudden, everybody, including the democratic establishment, is waking up 27 00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:33,280 Speaker 1: and saying, oh my god, how did we get here? 28 00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:36,520 Speaker 1: Oh my god? But do you know who doesn't seem 29 00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:40,360 Speaker 1: to still have a sense of urgency? Joe Biden, the 30 00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:44,320 Speaker 1: President of the United States. Now I did a TikTok 31 00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:46,919 Speaker 1: video and again, if you don't follow me there, you should. 32 00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:52,799 Speaker 1: Danielle Moody underscore where I had just finished reading an 33 00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:57,680 Speaker 1: article in the Atlantic, and the article is Joe Biden 34 00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:02,040 Speaker 1: running out of time, And essentially within the article it 35 00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:06,640 Speaker 1: discusses the fact that the author of the piece doesn't 36 00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:09,560 Speaker 1: believe And I will say that maybe I agree that 37 00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:13,600 Speaker 1: anyone else could have beaten Donald Trump in the twenty 38 00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:16,400 Speaker 1: twenty election. And I know that everyone has, you know, 39 00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:20,320 Speaker 1: their own opinions, but I believe I did not want 40 00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:25,120 Speaker 1: Joe Biden to be the nominee because exactly how he 41 00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:29,880 Speaker 1: is showing himself to be now, which is weak, subservient, 42 00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:34,040 Speaker 1: and you know, a statesman from a long forgotten time 43 00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:39,360 Speaker 1: at that moment, I don't think that this country would 44 00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:44,000 Speaker 1: have taken anybody else, and obviously they did not. But 45 00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:47,760 Speaker 1: what the article in The Atlantic goes on to question 46 00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:52,400 Speaker 1: is whether or not Joe Biden is the president that 47 00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:55,960 Speaker 1: can actually fight against Trump. Is M not just Donald 48 00:03:55,960 --> 00:04:02,000 Speaker 1: Trump the man, but Trump is M the affected ideology? 49 00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:06,560 Speaker 1: And I have to say no, he is not. What 50 00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:12,520 Speaker 1: we have seen is really outwardly from mostly the women 51 00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:15,840 Speaker 1: and the people of color and the younger people, whether 52 00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:18,800 Speaker 1: they be in the Senate or in the House of Representatives, 53 00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:24,279 Speaker 1: like Senator Warren or Representative Alexandria Cassio Cortez in the House, 54 00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:28,400 Speaker 1: saying all of the things and providing all of the 55 00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:33,400 Speaker 1: avenues that if this president were aggressive, if this democratic 56 00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:38,080 Speaker 1: establishment were aggressive and fighting fire with fire, they would 57 00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:42,560 Speaker 1: do and they're not doing any of it. I mentioned 58 00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:46,320 Speaker 1: to you that in an interview with CNN's Dana Bash, 59 00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:52,560 Speaker 1: the Vice President Kamala Harris, when pointedly asked, people already 60 00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:54,960 Speaker 1: showed up for you to vote and they are expecting 61 00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:58,160 Speaker 1: you to do something, And her response to that was 62 00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:04,080 Speaker 1: do what exactly. Well, my fucking god, if you are 63 00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:09,039 Speaker 1: going to act so incompetent and so weak, then maybe 64 00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:11,400 Speaker 1: you shouldn't have the job in the first fucking place, 65 00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:17,400 Speaker 1: because stern words and wagging fingers and fucking prayer is 66 00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:22,040 Speaker 1: not saving us. Expanding the court will, ending the filibuster, 67 00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:28,520 Speaker 1: will finding out the creative ways to provide abortions to 68 00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:31,400 Speaker 1: women and people with uteruses in now the twenty six 69 00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:37,560 Speaker 1: states that have outlawed abortion will. Not only has this 70 00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:41,960 Speaker 1: Supreme Court overturned fifty years of precedent, they also turned 71 00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:45,760 Speaker 1: a hundred over a hundred year precedent with their denial 72 00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:49,880 Speaker 1: of New York States ability to issue its own laws 73 00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:53,120 Speaker 1: around concealing carry. Then they went so far as to 74 00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:56,200 Speaker 1: give the middle finger to the fucking planet and say 75 00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:59,400 Speaker 1: that the EPA doesn't have the power to be able 76 00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:05,280 Speaker 1: to enforce emission standards. So, not only do they want 77 00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:08,320 Speaker 1: to make America more dangerous for women and people with 78 00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:12,120 Speaker 1: uterus is more dangerous so that those that carry guns 79 00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:16,800 Speaker 1: have more rights than those that do not also unhealthy, 80 00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:22,039 Speaker 1: because we already know that the myriad of fucking storms, 81 00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:26,440 Speaker 1: whether they be fire season, hurricane season, tornado season, are 82 00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:33,520 Speaker 1: at all time historic levels every fucking year. So if 83 00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:36,520 Speaker 1: you know this, and you know that there is no 84 00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:40,239 Speaker 1: slow down with this six to three court, why would 85 00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:44,560 Speaker 1: you not start talking strongly and not start creating a 86 00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:49,240 Speaker 1: war room around How you fucking turn this nine person 87 00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:53,080 Speaker 1: court into her thirteen person court and level the fucking 88 00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:59,120 Speaker 1: playing field right and extinguish the power of Alito and 89 00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:03,320 Speaker 1: Thomas and Gorsich and Kavanaugh and fucking Barrett from being 90 00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:06,760 Speaker 1: able to destroy this country one fucking decision at a time. 91 00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:12,120 Speaker 1: This is not, and it should not be fucking rocket science. 92 00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:19,680 Speaker 1: When your enemy reveals themselves to you, you do not 93 00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:24,480 Speaker 1: turn your back because they would quickly shoot and stab 94 00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:27,600 Speaker 1: you in it. You don't say, oh, I'm not opting 95 00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:33,480 Speaker 1: into this fight when your enemy has drawn the lines 96 00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:39,200 Speaker 1: of the battlefield quite clearly for the world to fucking see. So, 97 00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:43,280 Speaker 1: as Joe Biden, the right president for this moment is 98 00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:47,320 Speaker 1: Nancy Pelosi, The right speaker for this moment is Chuck Schumer. 99 00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:51,280 Speaker 1: The right leader for this moment apps a fucking lutely not. 100 00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:58,880 Speaker 1: And so then the question becomes who is and is 101 00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:02,160 Speaker 1: it time that the pall as somebody had asked me 102 00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:06,160 Speaker 1: that we're listening to the show, sent me a DM 103 00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:10,800 Speaker 1: and said, Danielle, I don't understand why there is a 104 00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:15,680 Speaker 1: lack of urgency and passion on the left. He said, 105 00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:19,520 Speaker 1: in France, they don't like what the fuck the government 106 00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:21,400 Speaker 1: is doing, and they take to the streets and they 107 00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:24,720 Speaker 1: burn shit down. Is it that there is a fear 108 00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:29,320 Speaker 1: the question was a fear that we are outgunned. I 109 00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:32,880 Speaker 1: don't know, honestly, I do know that what I would 110 00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:36,480 Speaker 1: rather see, rather than people burning down their own cities 111 00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:39,400 Speaker 1: and towns, is that I would much rather see a 112 00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:44,120 Speaker 1: national fucking boycott organized that says that ain't nobody going 113 00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:47,520 Speaker 1: to work, right, Not your fucking grocery, Not your quote 114 00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:50,480 Speaker 1: unquote essential workers that we were willing to send out 115 00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:53,480 Speaker 1: in a pandemic with their less than minimum wage that 116 00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:56,760 Speaker 1: they were receiving so that the rest of us could 117 00:08:56,760 --> 00:09:00,880 Speaker 1: stay cloistered away in our homes. Not the essential work Nobody, 118 00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:03,600 Speaker 1: not the fucking teachers, not the doctors, not the nurses. 119 00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:08,839 Speaker 1: Ain't nobody going to work? I would rather see an 120 00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:16,400 Speaker 1: organized national boycott to disrupt this nation's economy and to 121 00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:21,440 Speaker 1: remind our fucking overlords who are who is actually in power. 122 00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:24,760 Speaker 1: I would rather see that happen than riots in the 123 00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:27,560 Speaker 1: street that only will last for a couple of days, 124 00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:31,480 Speaker 1: and frankly, more of us will be killed than on 125 00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:35,760 Speaker 1: that side. But let me tell you something, the direction 126 00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:38,040 Speaker 1: that all of this is headed in is only headed 127 00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:42,200 Speaker 1: in one way, which is towards violence. It's not a 128 00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:46,560 Speaker 1: matter of if, it is a matter of when. And 129 00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:50,080 Speaker 1: that's what's concerning me is that Joe Biden and everybody 130 00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:53,560 Speaker 1: around him seems to be operating on a different fucking 131 00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:56,199 Speaker 1: planet than the one that we are all living in 132 00:09:56,320 --> 00:10:00,199 Speaker 1: right now.

So before we even jump in, I 176 00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:02,000 Speaker 1: just want to ask you, person to person, woman to woman, 177 00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:07,320 Speaker 1: how are you doing? Thank you so much for asking 178 00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:09,960 Speaker 1: me that. I mean, it's overwhelming, And if you talk 179 00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:13,480 Speaker 1: to anyone who has followed access to abortion care in 180 00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:15,520 Speaker 1: this country, they'll tell you that this is not a 181 00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:19,920 Speaker 1: surprise but nevertheless, it is no less devastating to the 182 00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:24,839 Speaker 1: people that it impacts, particularly blackgrown or in rural people. 183 00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:30,840 Speaker 1: But this is not a surprise, you know, anyone in 184 00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:33,160 Speaker 1: the abortion field has been stounding the alarm, and so 185 00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:36,480 Speaker 1: if anti abortion people who've told you told me, told 186 00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:40,920 Speaker 1: everyone that this is what they were fighting for. But 187 00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:44,640 Speaker 1: I think one thing that's taking me back, as someone 188 00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:48,079 Speaker 1: who's covered this, and also as someone with a capacity 189 00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:52,520 Speaker 1: to get pregnant, who has been pregnant, is that while 190 00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:58,040 Speaker 1: we knew that this was coming, the the impact of it, 191 00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:02,560 Speaker 1: the reality of it is no easier to swallow. And 192 00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:09,440 Speaker 1: so it's been a hard week, and especially when you 193 00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:12,240 Speaker 1: listen to people that this is impacting the most, and 194 00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:15,840 Speaker 1: the stories of people being turned away, and women who 195 00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:20,720 Speaker 1: are experiencing pregnancy complications and are being denied care or 196 00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:24,360 Speaker 1: their care as being you know, prolonged in some way 197 00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:27,080 Speaker 1: out of fear that the doctors caring for them will 198 00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:31,600 Speaker 1: be criminalized. It's hard. It's hard to stop, you know. 199 00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:37,880 Speaker 1: I M we have all heard the stories. I think 200 00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:42,680 Speaker 1: that they were written down in our history books about 201 00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:50,400 Speaker 1: what happened pre nineteen seventy four, and the fear and 202 00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:55,400 Speaker 1: the reality being that abortion does not stop because the 203 00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:59,760 Speaker 1: Supreme Court has overturned the constitutional right to bodily autonomy, 204 00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:07,120 Speaker 1: abortion just becomes unsafe, right, And so, what do you 205 00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:13,480 Speaker 1: believe then, are the actions that this administration should take 206 00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:21,040 Speaker 1: in order to codify ROW or should have taken, because frankly, 207 00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:24,320 Speaker 1: they could have codified it ten years ago in the 208 00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:28,880 Speaker 1: Obama administration and they didn't. Right, well, I think at 209 00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:31,320 Speaker 1: first it's important for us to all acknowledge that we 210 00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:33,720 Speaker 1: are not going back to a pre road day. The 211 00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:37,440 Speaker 1: advent of medication abortion will make illegal abortions safer in 212 00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:41,360 Speaker 1: terms of a person's physical health, they will not be 213 00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:43,880 Speaker 1: safe in terms of criminality, and that is where we'll 214 00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:47,000 Speaker 1: see an influx of black and brown people, and they 215 00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:48,880 Speaker 1: will be an influx of mothers as well, since the 216 00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:51,640 Speaker 1: majority of people have abortions, and moms will be criminalized 217 00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:54,960 Speaker 1: and then will be jailed. And so between that and 218 00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:58,440 Speaker 1: then the fear of not being able to access adequate 219 00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:01,880 Speaker 1: care if you have a miscarriage, for example, in ectopic pregnancy. 220 00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:04,960 Speaker 1: That is where the physical danger comes in is doctors 221 00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:08,680 Speaker 1: afraid to provide care. As for what Democrats should have 222 00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:12,240 Speaker 1: done and want to and should or me to do now. 223 00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:15,200 Speaker 1: All the people that I have spoken to, and these 224 00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:18,200 Speaker 1: are people who have been either really politically involved or 225 00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:20,920 Speaker 1: now this is there. What is driving them to be 226 00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:25,320 Speaker 1: political now is expand the court it is and the 227 00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:30,600 Speaker 1: filibuster it is, require and demands that people in the 228 00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:35,240 Speaker 1: Democratic Party support access to abortion, no if ans or buds, 229 00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:37,800 Speaker 1: and if they don't, get them out of office and 230 00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:40,200 Speaker 1: elect someone who does. When I was in front of 231 00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:42,840 Speaker 1: the Supreme Court on Saturday, every single person that I 232 00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:45,760 Speaker 1: talked to said, do not tell me to vote. I did. 233 00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:49,120 Speaker 1: What are you doing now? Because I did vote, and 234 00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:52,400 Speaker 1: I am here right now. I've been protesting. You know, 235 00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:55,040 Speaker 1: they were kids there with children who this is, you know, 236 00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:57,880 Speaker 1: a four year old. It was their third, fourth, fifth protests. 237 00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:00,640 Speaker 1: You know the parents are taking them continuously. So we 238 00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:02,760 Speaker 1: were making our voices heard and we're voting. Those of 239 00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:04,640 Speaker 1: the two things you tell us to do, we're doing them. 240 00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:07,440 Speaker 1: So what what are you going to do? That's what 241 00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:09,080 Speaker 1: people are telling me, And I think that is what 242 00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:12,440 Speaker 1: a lot of people are demanding of anyone in office 243 00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:15,679 Speaker 1: who says that they care about bodily autonomy, specifically the 244 00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:20,720 Speaker 1: Democratic Party. You know, I just find it so frustrating. 245 00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:28,679 Speaker 1: Because Vice President Harris was on CNN a couple of 246 00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:30,520 Speaker 1: you know, at the time of this recording, it was 247 00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:33,520 Speaker 1: a couple of days ago, and when asked by Dana 248 00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:38,200 Speaker 1: Bash whether you know the people want you to do 249 00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:42,040 Speaker 1: something and you have you have the Senage, you have 250 00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:45,560 Speaker 1: the House, you have the presidency, and you're not doing anything, 251 00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:50,879 Speaker 1: she said, do what? She said like, her response was 252 00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:57,160 Speaker 1: do what? And I like lost my mind listening to 253 00:17:57,280 --> 00:18:00,400 Speaker 1: the Vice President of the United States essentially say that 254 00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:03,440 Speaker 1: she doesn't have any power, that the executive branch doesn't 255 00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:07,399 Speaker 1: have any power. And so if the people on the 256 00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:10,120 Speaker 1: ground are as frustrated as we know that they are, 257 00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:14,880 Speaker 1: because we share their frustration, what do you think this 258 00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:18,600 Speaker 1: looks like? And I mean, you know, the question that 259 00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:23,399 Speaker 1: I was asked on MSNBC a couple of days ago was, Danielle, 260 00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:26,320 Speaker 1: you know the Democrats want to focus on quote un 261 00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:31,520 Speaker 1: kitchen table issues and inflation and gas prices. This is 262 00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:35,280 Speaker 1: the anger and outrage going to sustain itself to mid 263 00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:38,359 Speaker 1: term elections. And so I will tell you what my 264 00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:41,359 Speaker 1: response was, but I want to hear what yours is 265 00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:46,280 Speaker 1: to that question. My response is the response of anyone 266 00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:48,119 Speaker 1: that I've ever asked when it comes to what's going 267 00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:51,120 Speaker 1: to drive them, what's important to them, especially parents, because 268 00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:53,440 Speaker 1: that is my focus at today dot Com. And every 269 00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:56,480 Speaker 1: parent tells you there's no more bigger than table kitchen issue, 270 00:18:56,720 --> 00:18:58,680 Speaker 1: the ability to cide, win up and how you start 271 00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:01,720 Speaker 1: your family. What else is there other than a person's 272 00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:05,480 Speaker 1: ability to be able to make those decisions with their doctor, 273 00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:08,880 Speaker 1: with their spouse, with their family members. And it trickles 274 00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:10,480 Speaker 1: down to I mean, there were moms who are talking 275 00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:13,240 Speaker 1: to me, this is also about my ability to be financial, 276 00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:16,960 Speaker 1: to make financial decisions, financial freedom. I talked to people said, look, 277 00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:19,160 Speaker 1: if I wasn't able to access abortion care, I would 278 00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:23,080 Speaker 1: still be tied to someone who was abusive. Who would 279 00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:26,399 Speaker 1: be This is about personal safety, It's about you know, 280 00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:32,400 Speaker 1: there is no other kitchen table issue than bodily autonomy 281 00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:36,000 Speaker 1: and the freedom to make your private medical decisions for yourself. 282 00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:41,320 Speaker 1: And so really I think that the kitchen table issue 283 00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:47,640 Speaker 1: phrase is code for affluent whites issues that might matter. 284 00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:50,760 Speaker 1: So people who think that this doesn't impact them, that 285 00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:53,400 Speaker 1: they will still be able to access care if when 286 00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:55,920 Speaker 1: and how they need it, and so they can focus 287 00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:58,600 Speaker 1: on inflation because to them, they don't think that this 288 00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:01,760 Speaker 1: is something that will them or their family members, And 289 00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:05,600 Speaker 1: if you look at statistics and studies, that's just not 290 00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:09,280 Speaker 1: true that you know want and for people we need 291 00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:12,360 Speaker 1: an abortion, and that is not including people who need 292 00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:17,280 Speaker 1: that care comes to any sort of pregnancy complication, actopic pregnancy, 293 00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:20,439 Speaker 1: or businesscarage. So that would be my answer. There is 294 00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:25,840 Speaker 1: no bigger table issue than access to abortion. What did 295 00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:28,600 Speaker 1: you make you know? And Danielle I offered the same thing. 296 00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:31,040 Speaker 1: I literally said the same thing. I said, I don't 297 00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:34,480 Speaker 1: know what are we what we're talking about here? If 298 00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:37,360 Speaker 1: you're talking about economic issues, I can see no other 299 00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:41,360 Speaker 1: economic issue than the ability to family plan. Like, if 300 00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:43,919 Speaker 1: there are more children at your table, then there are 301 00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:47,280 Speaker 1: zeros in your check. I'm confused about how you're going 302 00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:51,040 Speaker 1: to be able to provide for those kids, particularly when 303 00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:55,720 Speaker 1: we are you know, when we have a government and 304 00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:59,919 Speaker 1: a party that is not interested in providing childcare, tax credit, 305 00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:04,960 Speaker 1: paid family leave, you know, universal pre K, that is 306 00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:07,960 Speaker 1: not interested in doing any of those things. So what 307 00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:11,040 Speaker 1: are you offering right to these people that you are 308 00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:13,320 Speaker 1: now forcing to give birth? That's what that was. My 309 00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:16,480 Speaker 1: response is the same as yours, And so what do 310 00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:20,040 Speaker 1: you like, what did you make then, given all of this, 311 00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:24,720 Speaker 1: what did you make of the President Biden's addressed to 312 00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:30,560 Speaker 1: the nation following the Supreme Court decision? Did it hit 313 00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:34,959 Speaker 1: the notes that you needed it to hit? Well, I 314 00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:36,399 Speaker 1: can tell you from the people that I talked to, 315 00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:38,960 Speaker 1: you know it didn't because and it was very interesting 316 00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:40,760 Speaker 1: because everyone said, I already know what he is going 317 00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:42,560 Speaker 1: to say before he said it, and they said, he's 318 00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:44,320 Speaker 1: going to tell me to vote, And of course that 319 00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:46,439 Speaker 1: is what he did. He said you need to vote 320 00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:49,720 Speaker 1: from November. And people just do not want to hear 321 00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:52,920 Speaker 1: that because again they did vote. These parents, these families 322 00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:55,480 Speaker 1: voted in the middle of an ongoing pandemic. They brought 323 00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:57,920 Speaker 1: their children into because they couldn't get time off work 324 00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:00,840 Speaker 1: because voting is on a national holiday in this country, 325 00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:02,800 Speaker 1: and so it just goes back to again, they want 326 00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:05,320 Speaker 1: to see more, especially when to your credit. You know, 327 00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:08,440 Speaker 1: when we talk about the economic fall out of access 328 00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:10,919 Speaker 1: a limited access to abortion care, we live in a 329 00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:13,240 Speaker 1: country with a pay gap where mothers get paid less 330 00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:17,120 Speaker 1: than fathers, but there's actually a motherhood penalty. For every 331 00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:20,560 Speaker 1: child that a mom has her she actually loses money. 332 00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:25,800 Speaker 1: She misses out on opportunities for growth within her area 333 00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:29,520 Speaker 1: of work. And so just statistically, you don't have to 334 00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:32,080 Speaker 1: look forward to see just how this will impact every 335 00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:35,400 Speaker 1: ass aspect of a person's life. They have the ability 336 00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:37,199 Speaker 1: to get pregnant and do when they don't want to 337 00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:39,920 Speaker 1: or am ready Moore, And so it just goes back 338 00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:47,159 Speaker 1: to you cannot continuously tell people to do something to 339 00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:50,480 Speaker 1: keep you in power if you do nothing with that power. 340 00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:53,200 Speaker 1: And that's born out of the conversations that I've had 341 00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:56,160 Speaker 1: with people, is why am I doing the same thing 342 00:22:56,240 --> 00:23:00,720 Speaker 1: over and over again when I'm watching my so my 343 00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:04,720 Speaker 1: friend co workers lose rights in the process. And we 344 00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:07,280 Speaker 1: started this conversation. Is the first time in the history 345 00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:10,640 Speaker 1: of this country a Supreme Court has given the constitutional 346 00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:12,520 Speaker 1: right only to take it away. We are about to 347 00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:15,159 Speaker 1: tomorrow will be a week where more than half the 348 00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:18,800 Speaker 1: people in this country have lived without the constitutional right 349 00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:22,080 Speaker 1: to bodily autonomy. A week we have lived with less 350 00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:25,800 Speaker 1: rights than our parents and our grandparents. When we think 351 00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:29,520 Speaker 1: about that, that's catastrophic if you really sit and just 352 00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:34,639 Speaker 1: think about that, and so just vote. It's hard for 353 00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:42,520 Speaker 1: many people to stuff. I don't know, Danielle, where we 354 00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:44,800 Speaker 1: go from here? Because I said, you know, it was 355 00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:47,640 Speaker 1: it was the Monday after the decision, and I tweeted 356 00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:50,200 Speaker 1: and I said, this is going to be the first 357 00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:53,639 Speaker 1: Monday of a generation of Mondays that are hard to 358 00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:56,520 Speaker 1: get out of bed four right, And as I listened 359 00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:59,280 Speaker 1: to you, and I think it and it really is 360 00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:05,119 Speaker 1: cemented into my understanding that this generation, this young generation 361 00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:09,560 Speaker 1: Gen Z, is going to have less rights, less access 362 00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:14,760 Speaker 1: to equity. Then the quote unquote greatest generation that this 363 00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:17,359 Speaker 1: country loves to bring up. Then you know, then the 364 00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:21,760 Speaker 1: baby Boomer grandparents and you know they're Gen X parents, 365 00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:27,600 Speaker 1: And so I what are what are the options? Because 366 00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:31,760 Speaker 1: what I keep hearing from the administration is that they 367 00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:34,560 Speaker 1: don't have any. We just need to vote. What do 368 00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:38,040 Speaker 1: you see as a handful of the options that the 369 00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:43,480 Speaker 1: strategies that this administration could take today if they had 370 00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:47,200 Speaker 1: the will Well, I think again, it just goes back 371 00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:49,760 Speaker 1: to the conversations that I've had with people who've been 372 00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:52,360 Speaker 1: in this space, who've been fighting for access to abortion care, 373 00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:54,680 Speaker 1: not just abortion care, but really just for expanded and 374 00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:58,480 Speaker 1: access to any kind of reproductive, maternal and mental healthcare, 375 00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:01,800 Speaker 1: including pregnancy three, nadal care, paid family leave, all the 376 00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:04,240 Speaker 1: things you said again that this country doesn't provide yet 377 00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:06,920 Speaker 1: they in a handful of states will not force people 378 00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:09,639 Speaker 1: to give birth and so UM, when you speak to 379 00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:13,480 Speaker 1: those people, the answer is very clear. It is and 380 00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:19,000 Speaker 1: the filibuster, expand the court quotify row and then from 381 00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:21,840 Speaker 1: the bully pulpit, as the president of the United States, 382 00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:28,040 Speaker 1: hold members of your party accountable. But that's not um, 383 00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:33,000 Speaker 1: you know, an outlier in politics. History has shown that 384 00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:37,280 Speaker 1: plenty of presidents have been able to hold other, uh 385 00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:43,240 Speaker 1: you know, members of their party accountable via the bully pulpit. Um. 386 00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:45,840 Speaker 1: Miss McConnell does a very good job of it within 387 00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:49,080 Speaker 1: his party to a certain degree. I'm in a way 388 00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:52,480 Speaker 1: that someone might argue that Democrats certainly do not UM, 389 00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:55,159 Speaker 1: but I think that you know, the study show that 390 00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:59,080 Speaker 1: the lowest uh you know, amount of faith in the 391 00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:01,720 Speaker 1: Supreme Court right now. And you know, I talked to 392 00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:05,880 Speaker 1: a couple outside of the Supreme Court on on Sunday 393 00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:08,680 Speaker 1: and they brought up when we took their phone, went 394 00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:15,679 Speaker 1: to aocs on Instagram and just started clicking. She's saying 395 00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:18,640 Speaker 1: what we can do? They wouldn't line by line, and 396 00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:20,879 Speaker 1: you know, this is what we kind of want to 397 00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:24,679 Speaker 1: see she's telling us the plan. So there are members, 398 00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:27,960 Speaker 1: I think in the Democratic Party that have more concrete plans, 399 00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:30,600 Speaker 1: whether it's aoclist before, it's also been very vocal as 400 00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:33,680 Speaker 1: a plate and concrete steps. It sounds like the party 401 00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:38,520 Speaker 1: just needs to listen to itself, and surprise, surprise, it's women, 402 00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:43,000 Speaker 1: primarily women of color, who were leading um but that conversation, 403 00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:47,760 Speaker 1: who have plans in place. If members of the party 404 00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:52,400 Speaker 1: would just listen to you know. The other coded conversation 405 00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:56,119 Speaker 1: that is also happening with regard to this countdown to 406 00:26:56,240 --> 00:27:00,119 Speaker 1: midterms in five months is whether or not suburb in 407 00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:03,800 Speaker 1: and I use quotations suburban women, which is called for 408 00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:07,880 Speaker 1: white women will show up at the polls and this 409 00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:11,320 Speaker 1: will be the issue that they show up for. Now, Danielle, 410 00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:14,080 Speaker 1: I will say that fifty three percent of white women 411 00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:16,800 Speaker 1: voted for Donald Trump in twenty sixteen and fifty six 412 00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:19,760 Speaker 1: percent of them voted for him in twenty twenty. So 413 00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:24,280 Speaker 1: what expectation, level of expectation do you have that somehow 414 00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:29,080 Speaker 1: the loss of this constitutional right is going to change 415 00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:33,639 Speaker 1: their minds and change their change their voting pattern. That 416 00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:35,919 Speaker 1: was one thing that did strike me to be you know, 417 00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:38,200 Speaker 1: to be very very honest. It struck me as a 418 00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:39,720 Speaker 1: little bit of a surprise when I was on the 419 00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:43,280 Speaker 1: ground in in DC in front of the Supreme Court. 420 00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:47,040 Speaker 1: Is there were a lot of white women who were 421 00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:53,720 Speaker 1: very quick to honestly admit that they for the first time, 422 00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:56,600 Speaker 1: don't feel safe even if they came from a progressive 423 00:27:56,640 --> 00:27:59,919 Speaker 1: state that has shored up abortion rights, because they they 424 00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:02,360 Speaker 1: share with me is I always thought that Row was selled, 425 00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:06,399 Speaker 1: that Rowe was protected, and if Roe was protected, then 426 00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:08,680 Speaker 1: I would be protected. And I think that a lot 427 00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:11,760 Speaker 1: of white women that perhaps thought that they could vote 428 00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:13,960 Speaker 1: for Donald Trump and it wouldn't affect their ability to 429 00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:16,719 Speaker 1: access abortion carepay needed, or starting to realize that's not 430 00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:19,720 Speaker 1: entirely the case. Regardless of where you live. We've already 431 00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:22,520 Speaker 1: seen an influx of people going to those progressive quote 432 00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:25,920 Speaker 1: unquote blue states, and with that influx, it's pushing back, 433 00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:30,879 Speaker 1: you know, abortion scheduling, so that people who live in 434 00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:33,520 Speaker 1: that state are having to wait longer they're they're going 435 00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:37,359 Speaker 1: to be inundated. And if the Republicans take the House 436 00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:41,120 Speaker 1: and the Senate, they've made it no secret that they 437 00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:45,440 Speaker 1: are going to try and pass nationwide abortion band so 438 00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:49,640 Speaker 1: whether you live in California, Oregon, Washington, New York, Connecticut 439 00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:54,840 Speaker 1: will no longer matter. And so perhaps this is a 440 00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:58,440 Speaker 1: wake up call for those who didn't listen to the 441 00:28:58,560 --> 00:29:02,240 Speaker 1: voices in rural and for and predominantly black and brown 442 00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:04,640 Speaker 1: communities who have said, look, ROW has existed in name 443 00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:10,600 Speaker 1: only for us since its inception. Maybe they're starting to 444 00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:14,200 Speaker 1: realize that that what we thought was settled is not. 445 00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:17,560 Speaker 1: There is no solid ground now it can crumble from 446 00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:20,880 Speaker 1: underneath you at any moment. It remains to be seen, 447 00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:22,920 Speaker 1: and I think that's going to be before itself out 448 00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:25,920 Speaker 1: in the power in my opinion of storytelling, and that 449 00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:28,520 Speaker 1: does go back to, you know, being on the ground. 450 00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:30,840 Speaker 1: And there were so many people sharing their personal stories, 451 00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:34,320 Speaker 1: so many people who were reaffirming the will to have 452 00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:37,480 Speaker 1: difficult but they considered to be difficult conversations with people 453 00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:40,280 Speaker 1: sharing their stories with members of their family that perhaps 454 00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:42,400 Speaker 1: they didn't know that they had been impacted by abortion 455 00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:45,440 Speaker 1: pair in some way. If people are willing to have 456 00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:51,720 Speaker 1: those conversations personally with those in their circle, perhaps things 457 00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:53,720 Speaker 1: will change, because I think that is far more powerful 458 00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:56,080 Speaker 1: than listening to those in positions of power who as 459 00:29:56,080 --> 00:29:57,960 Speaker 1: you can mentioned time and time again, have not done 460 00:29:57,960 --> 00:30:03,120 Speaker 1: that much to change the trajection. You know. The other 461 00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:05,160 Speaker 1: thing that I had been thinking about too, is the 462 00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:08,000 Speaker 1: fact that even in that speech that Joe Biden gave 463 00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:12,480 Speaker 1: following this um abomination of a decision, he did not 464 00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:17,360 Speaker 1: have the word abortion. So how important for you, for 465 00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:20,360 Speaker 1: for for for the movement? I should say, how important 466 00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:24,160 Speaker 1: is it for the movement at this grave juncture that 467 00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:30,000 Speaker 1: we find ourselves that this administration utter the words right? Um? 468 00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:32,840 Speaker 1: It does? Does it matter at this at this at 469 00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:39,080 Speaker 1: this late stage. Well, I think anyone who's finding for 470 00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:41,000 Speaker 1: any human right will tell you that it does. I mean, 471 00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:42,800 Speaker 1: just look at the don't say gay bills that are 472 00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:45,560 Speaker 1: talking up in various days to listen to the youth, 473 00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:47,480 Speaker 1: to the people that this is impacting. The most name 474 00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:50,200 Speaker 1: will tell you it absolutely matters. You say, you know, 475 00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:53,000 Speaker 1: we call it by its name, You say the word um, 476 00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:55,400 Speaker 1: and so yes, who should be able to say abortion 477 00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:58,640 Speaker 1: as the leader um of the most powerful country and 478 00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:01,840 Speaker 1: the planet of who are one and four people have abortions? 479 00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:06,960 Speaker 1: Where abortion is tantamount in terms of ability to maintain 480 00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:13,320 Speaker 1: caraby of pregnancy and to grow and expand families will 481 00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:15,800 Speaker 1: he I don't think that he will. I think that 482 00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:18,800 Speaker 1: we've seen that even the fall of a constitutional right 483 00:31:18,840 --> 00:31:22,720 Speaker 1: own change the Venaco, this president and those within this 484 00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:27,239 Speaker 1: cabinet are choosing to use. But I'm also you know, 485 00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:32,640 Speaker 1: listening and reporting and speaking with people who don't care 486 00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:36,360 Speaker 1: that they're really leading on their own communities. Now there's 487 00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:39,400 Speaker 1: little faith that this administration will do much. So they're 488 00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:42,080 Speaker 1: looking inward and looking internally, looking at their neighbors and 489 00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:45,360 Speaker 1: their friends, and are really focused on building community and 490 00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:48,760 Speaker 1: within that sharing stories and saying abortion out loud. And 491 00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:50,520 Speaker 1: so I think that if there is a change, it 492 00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:53,360 Speaker 1: will be when this administration sees the power of community 493 00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:55,640 Speaker 1: and people who are willing to do the work, and 494 00:31:55,720 --> 00:32:02,400 Speaker 1: perhaps then they'll jump up. Danielle, last question for you, 495 00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:07,520 Speaker 1: you know, I guess what do you feel right now 496 00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:12,560 Speaker 1: about the future of this country, knowing how radicalized this 497 00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:17,600 Speaker 1: Supreme Court has become, how personally I believe that this 498 00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:23,120 Speaker 1: administration to be ineffectual, How confident that you are that 499 00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:29,120 Speaker 1: this decision has shaken the foundation of people's understanding of freedom, 500 00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:32,680 Speaker 1: And whether or not they will actually take the necessary 501 00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:41,320 Speaker 1: sustained action to hold elected officials, including this president accountable. Well, 502 00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:43,360 Speaker 1: I come at this as a reporter and a member 503 00:32:43,360 --> 00:32:45,640 Speaker 1: of the media, and there's been lots of conversations, you know, 504 00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:48,320 Speaker 1: from me to Black Lives Matter to now about our 505 00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:51,520 Speaker 1: rule of it. And I think that one of the 506 00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:57,000 Speaker 1: important factors of really establishing where this country goes the 507 00:32:57,000 --> 00:33:00,520 Speaker 1: trajectory that we take is our ability to the truth 508 00:33:00,520 --> 00:33:03,560 Speaker 1: and to speak truth to power. And so if this 509 00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:08,560 Speaker 1: administration is going to shore up what fifty years of 510 00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:14,920 Speaker 1: press legal president decided was a constitutional right, it's going 511 00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:20,560 Speaker 1: to require bravery and people speaking truth to power, and 512 00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:23,960 Speaker 1: in that means you call a lie a lie and 513 00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:29,280 Speaker 1: you say the truth. And unfortunately, we've seeing whether it 514 00:33:29,320 --> 00:33:32,960 Speaker 1: was January sixth, to the ways in which media covers 515 00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:39,040 Speaker 1: abortion of both sizing, both sizing certain things and highlighting 516 00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:42,160 Speaker 1: voices that are inaccurate, that are false, that are just 517 00:33:42,240 --> 00:33:47,320 Speaker 1: straight up non nonfactual under the guise of neutrality and 518 00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:51,440 Speaker 1: appearing non products. Soon while you know, make no problems 519 00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:53,120 Speaker 1: about it, there are plenty of people who are very 520 00:33:53,120 --> 00:33:55,840 Speaker 1: happy that we are coming up on a week without 521 00:33:55,840 --> 00:33:58,920 Speaker 1: the construal constitutional right to access abortion. For there are 522 00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:02,120 Speaker 1: plenty of people who argue the bus families safer There 523 00:34:02,120 --> 00:34:05,080 Speaker 1: are plenty of people who say that this whole harm 524 00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:07,400 Speaker 1: people who are pregnant in any of them here that 525 00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:12,200 Speaker 1: they need. But that's not the facts, none of the 526 00:34:13,239 --> 00:34:16,800 Speaker 1: actual those beliefs are not rooted in fact. And so 527 00:34:17,600 --> 00:34:20,240 Speaker 1: what I'm focused on is making sure that we as 528 00:34:20,239 --> 00:34:23,800 Speaker 1: members of the media meet this moment with facts, with evidence, 529 00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:30,520 Speaker 1: that we do our job to not make things worse. Yeah, 530 00:34:30,600 --> 00:34:33,560 Speaker 1: I mean, I think that the media's obsession with both 531 00:34:33,600 --> 00:34:35,800 Speaker 1: sides is um is why we are in this position 532 00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:38,279 Speaker 1: to begin with. It's why Donald Trump became President of 533 00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:42,360 Speaker 1: the United States. It's why they believe that an overqualified 534 00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:46,000 Speaker 1: woman for this job shouldn't have it. The media is, 535 00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:50,640 Speaker 1: you know, the third est state, right it is that 536 00:34:50,680 --> 00:34:55,600 Speaker 1: body that bears responsibility for educating the public. And so 537 00:34:55,719 --> 00:34:57,800 Speaker 1: at this critical juncture, it's like, are we going to 538 00:34:57,880 --> 00:35:01,000 Speaker 1: continue to go off of a cliff or will they 539 00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:04,480 Speaker 1: pull the reins back and realize and assume the responsibility 540 00:35:04,560 --> 00:35:08,719 Speaker 1: that they have.
