WEBVTT - Leaderless Moment 0:00:11.840 --> 0:00:16.239 Good morning, peeps, and welcome to wolcate F Daily with 0:00:16.280 --> 0:00:20.800 me your Girl, Danielle Moody recording prerecording from the Long 0:00:20.840 --> 0:00:26.159 Island Bunker, Folks, I want to start off today with 0:00:26.480 --> 0:00:34.960 talking about the absolutely horrific, disastrous Scotus term that we 0:00:35.560 --> 0:00:40.880 just live through. I don't think it's unfortunate, I will 0:00:40.920 --> 0:00:45.320 say this not I don't think it is unfortunate that 0:00:45.440 --> 0:00:49.760 people don't recognize their power until their power is taken 0:00:49.800 --> 0:00:53.080 away from them. And maybe that is human nature, right, 0:00:53.840 --> 0:00:58.520 But for years, for years, the Republican Party has been 0:00:58.520 --> 0:01:02.320 talking about the way in which they want to return 0:01:02.440 --> 0:01:06.720 this nation to what they believe is its puritanical, white 0:01:06.720 --> 0:01:11.199 evangelical Christian roots. That they want a nation that abides 0:01:11.319 --> 0:01:16.640 by their Bible and their interpretation thereof. And they've been 0:01:16.800 --> 0:01:19.559 using the courts, and they've been using schools, and they've 0:01:19.560 --> 0:01:24.160 been using all sorts of avenues and strategies and order 0:01:24.520 --> 0:01:33.080 to accomplish their authoritarian, fascist Christian rule. And yet all 0:01:33.080 --> 0:01:38.399 of these years, all of these decades, Democrats have continued 0:01:38.440 --> 0:01:45.959 to believe that Republicans are their rational ideological adversaries, that 0:01:46.360 --> 0:01:52.000 these people with their white supremacist ideas, and their anti 0:01:52.440 --> 0:01:57.400 every single thing, just listed, anti women, anti black, anti Asian, 0:01:57.440 --> 0:02:02.080 anti Latinas, anti Muslim, like, just them all down that 0:02:02.320 --> 0:02:08.840 somehow they were worthy of being considered rational or people 0:02:08.960 --> 0:02:15.120 that are open to collaboration and compromise. And it is now, 0:02:15.560 --> 0:02:20.960 as we have seen, the Court, the Supreme Court become weaponized, 0:02:20.960 --> 0:02:25.560 a weaponized tool of the radicalized right, that all of 0:02:25.560 --> 0:02:30.600 a sudden, everybody, including the democratic establishment, is waking up 0:02:30.639 --> 0:02:33.280 and saying, oh my god, how did we get here? 0:02:33.360 --> 0:02:36.520 Oh my god? But do you know who doesn't seem 0:02:36.600 --> 0:02:40.360 to still have a sense of urgency? Joe Biden, the 0:02:40.440 --> 0:02:44.320 President of the United States. Now I did a TikTok 0:02:44.440 --> 0:02:46.919 video and again, if you don't follow me there, you should. 0:02:47.000 --> 0:02:52.799 Danielle Moody underscore where I had just finished reading an 0:02:52.919 --> 0:02:57.680 article in the Atlantic, and the article is Joe Biden 0:02:57.800 --> 0:03:02.040 running out of time, And essentially within the article it 0:03:02.120 --> 0:03:06.640 discusses the fact that the author of the piece doesn't 0:03:06.639 --> 0:03:09.560 believe And I will say that maybe I agree that 0:03:09.880 --> 0:03:13.600 anyone else could have beaten Donald Trump in the twenty 0:03:13.639 --> 0:03:16.400 twenty election. And I know that everyone has, you know, 0:03:16.480 --> 0:03:20.320 their own opinions, but I believe I did not want 0:03:20.560 --> 0:03:25.120 Joe Biden to be the nominee because exactly how he 0:03:25.200 --> 0:03:29.880 is showing himself to be now, which is weak, subservient, 0:03:30.200 --> 0:03:34.040 and you know, a statesman from a long forgotten time 0:03:35.440 --> 0:03:39.360 at that moment, I don't think that this country would 0:03:39.440 --> 0:03:44.000 have taken anybody else, and obviously they did not. But 0:03:44.120 --> 0:03:47.760 what the article in The Atlantic goes on to question 0:03:48.520 --> 0:03:52.400 is whether or not Joe Biden is the president that 0:03:52.440 --> 0:03:55.960 can actually fight against Trump. Is M not just Donald 0:03:55.960 --> 0:04:02.000 Trump the man, but Trump is M the affected ideology? 0:04:02.920 --> 0:04:06.560 And I have to say no, he is not. What 0:04:06.600 --> 0:04:12.520 we have seen is really outwardly from mostly the women 0:04:12.880 --> 0:04:15.840 and the people of color and the younger people, whether 0:04:15.880 --> 0:04:18.800 they be in the Senate or in the House of Representatives, 0:04:18.800 --> 0:04:24.279 like Senator Warren or Representative Alexandria Cassio Cortez in the House, 0:04:25.800 --> 0:04:28.400 saying all of the things and providing all of the 0:04:28.440 --> 0:04:33.400 avenues that if this president were aggressive, if this democratic 0:04:33.520 --> 0:04:38.080 establishment were aggressive and fighting fire with fire, they would 0:04:38.120 --> 0:04:42.560 do and they're not doing any of it. I mentioned 0:04:42.600 --> 0:04:46.320 to you that in an interview with CNN's Dana Bash, 0:04:46.440 --> 0:04:52.560 the Vice President Kamala Harris, when pointedly asked, people already 0:04:52.560 --> 0:04:54.960 showed up for you to vote and they are expecting 0:04:54.960 --> 0:04:58.160 you to do something, And her response to that was 0:04:58.520 --> 0:05:04.080 do what exactly. Well, my fucking god, if you are 0:05:04.200 --> 0:05:09.039 going to act so incompetent and so weak, then maybe 0:05:09.080 --> 0:05:11.400 you shouldn't have the job in the first fucking place, 0:05:12.000 --> 0:05:17.400 because stern words and wagging fingers and fucking prayer is 0:05:17.440 --> 0:05:22.040 not saving us. Expanding the court will, ending the filibuster, 0:05:22.160 --> 0:05:28.520 will finding out the creative ways to provide abortions to 0:05:28.720 --> 0:05:31.400 women and people with uteruses in now the twenty six 0:05:31.480 --> 0:05:37.560 states that have outlawed abortion will. Not only has this 0:05:37.680 --> 0:05:41.960 Supreme Court overturned fifty years of precedent, they also turned 0:05:41.960 --> 0:05:45.760 a hundred over a hundred year precedent with their denial 0:05:45.880 --> 0:05:49.880 of New York States ability to issue its own laws 0:05:49.960 --> 0:05:53.120 around concealing carry. Then they went so far as to 0:05:53.279 --> 0:05:56.200 give the middle finger to the fucking planet and say 0:05:56.240 --> 0:05:59.400 that the EPA doesn't have the power to be able 0:05:59.440 --> 0:06:05.280 to enforce emission standards. So, not only do they want 0:06:05.279 --> 0:06:08.320 to make America more dangerous for women and people with 0:06:08.440 --> 0:06:12.120 uterus is more dangerous so that those that carry guns 0:06:12.160 --> 0:06:16.800 have more rights than those that do not also unhealthy, 0:06:17.560 --> 0:06:22.039 because we already know that the myriad of fucking storms, 0:06:22.080 --> 0:06:26.440 whether they be fire season, hurricane season, tornado season, are 0:06:26.560 --> 0:06:33.520 at all time historic levels every fucking year. So if 0:06:33.560 --> 0:06:36.520 you know this, and you know that there is no 0:06:36.680 --> 0:06:40.239 slow down with this six to three court, why would 0:06:40.240 --> 0:06:44.560 you not start talking strongly and not start creating a 0:06:44.640 --> 0:06:49.240 war room around How you fucking turn this nine person 0:06:49.320 --> 0:06:53.080 court into her thirteen person court and level the fucking 0:06:53.240 --> 0:06:59.120 playing field right and extinguish the power of Alito and 0:06:59.279 --> 0:07:03.320 Thomas and Gorsich and Kavanaugh and fucking Barrett from being 0:07:03.360 --> 0:07:06.760 able to destroy this country one fucking decision at a time. 0:07:08.120 --> 0:07:12.120 This is not, and it should not be fucking rocket science. 0:07:13.800 --> 0:07:19.680 When your enemy reveals themselves to you, you do not 0:07:19.880 --> 0:07:24.480 turn your back because they would quickly shoot and stab 0:07:24.520 --> 0:07:27.600 you in it. You don't say, oh, I'm not opting 0:07:27.680 --> 0:07:33.480 into this fight when your enemy has drawn the lines 0:07:33.520 --> 0:07:39.200 of the battlefield quite clearly for the world to fucking see. So, 0:07:39.240 --> 0:07:43.280 as Joe Biden, the right president for this moment is 0:07:43.360 --> 0:07:47.320 Nancy Pelosi, The right speaker for this moment is Chuck Schumer. 0:07:47.560 --> 0:07:51.280 The right leader for this moment apps a fucking lutely not. 0:07:53.560 --> 0:07:58.880 And so then the question becomes who is and is 0:07:58.880 --> 0:08:02.160 it time that the pall as somebody had asked me 0:08:02.400 --> 0:08:06.160 that we're listening to the show, sent me a DM 0:08:06.200 --> 0:08:10.800 and said, Danielle, I don't understand why there is a 0:08:10.920 --> 0:08:15.680 lack of urgency and passion on the left. He said, 0:08:15.720 --> 0:08:19.520 in France, they don't like what the fuck the government 0:08:19.640 --> 0:08:21.400 is doing, and they take to the streets and they 0:08:21.480 --> 0:08:24.720 burn shit down. Is it that there is a fear 0:08:25.280 --> 0:08:29.320 the question was a fear that we are outgunned. I 0:08:29.360 --> 0:08:32.880 don't know, honestly, I do know that what I would 0:08:33.000 --> 0:08:36.480 rather see, rather than people burning down their own cities 0:08:36.480 --> 0:08:39.400 and towns, is that I would much rather see a 0:08:39.559 --> 0:08:44.120 national fucking boycott organized that says that ain't nobody going 0:08:44.200 --> 0:08:47.520 to work, right, Not your fucking grocery, Not your quote 0:08:47.559 --> 0:08:50.480 unquote essential workers that we were willing to send out 0:08:50.520 --> 0:08:53.480 in a pandemic with their less than minimum wage that 0:08:53.559 --> 0:08:56.760 they were receiving so that the rest of us could 0:08:56.760 --> 0:09:00.880 stay cloistered away in our homes. Not the essential work Nobody, 0:09:00.920 --> 0:09:03.600 not the fucking teachers, not the doctors, not the nurses. 0:09:03.679 --> 0:09:08.839 Ain't nobody going to work? I would rather see an 0:09:08.960 --> 0:09:16.400 organized national boycott to disrupt this nation's economy and to 0:09:16.559 --> 0:09:21.440 remind our fucking overlords who are who is actually in power. 0:09:21.760 --> 0:09:24.760 I would rather see that happen than riots in the 0:09:24.880 --> 0:09:27.560 street that only will last for a couple of days, 0:09:27.600 --> 0:09:31.480 and frankly, more of us will be killed than on 0:09:31.520 --> 0:09:35.760 that side. But let me tell you something, the direction 0:09:35.800 --> 0:09:38.040 that all of this is headed in is only headed 0:09:38.080 --> 0:09:42.200 in one way, which is towards violence. It's not a 0:09:42.280 --> 0:09:46.560 matter of if, it is a matter of when. And 0:09:46.679 --> 0:09:50.080 that's what's concerning me is that Joe Biden and everybody 0:09:50.120 --> 0:09:53.560 around him seems to be operating on a different fucking 0:09:53.640 --> 0:09:56.199 planet than the one that we are all living in 0:09:56.320 --> 0:10:00.199 right now. Coming up next my conversation with our our 0:10:00.320 --> 0:10:06.880 friend Danielle Campomore, who is the Today's show journalist covering 0:10:07.200 --> 0:10:11.280 abortion and covering Roe v. Wade, and she will discuss, frankly, 0:10:11.840 --> 0:10:16.360 the devastation that women and people with uteruses are feeling 0:10:16.360 --> 0:10:20.000 across this country, the fact that for the first time 0:10:20.040 --> 0:10:24.040 ever in our lives, our children, the nation's children, will 0:10:24.120 --> 0:10:28.040 have less rights than their parents and grandparents, and what 0:10:28.120 --> 0:10:31.400 we are essentially setting ourselves up for in the future. 0:10:31.800 --> 0:10:37.920 That conversation coming with our friend Danielle Campomore next, get 0:10:37.920 --> 0:10:40.960 a behind the scenes look at Comedy Central's The Daily Show. 0:10:41.200 --> 0:10:43.920 Beyond the Scenes, an original podcast from The Daily Show 0:10:43.920 --> 0:10:46.720 with Trevor Noah.

Folks, I am 0:12:11.520 --> 0:12:15.880 very happy whenever I have the opportunity to speak with 0:12:15.920 --> 0:12:21.400 my friend Danielle Campamore, who is a journalist for the 0:12:21.440 --> 0:12:26.520 Today Show fortoday dot com, talking specifically about abortion. She 0:12:26.559 --> 0:12:29.520 has been on this show. My god, Danielle, you've been 0:12:29.520 --> 0:12:32.400 on this show over I think the entire time that 0:12:32.440 --> 0:12:35.480 I've had woke af which is pushing five years now, 0:12:37.000 --> 0:12:39.040 But this is the first time that we are speaking 0:12:39.360 --> 0:12:43.120 and a constitutional right has been taken away. For the 0:12:43.240 --> 0:12:46.920 past several years, you and I have spoken about the 0:12:46.920 --> 0:12:50.960 potential right of this moment, about what we feel that 0:12:51.080 --> 0:12:55.240 Democrats need to do in this moment. But now the 0:12:55.280 --> 0:12:59.000 moment is here. So before we even jump in, I 0:12:59.080 --> 0:13:02.000 just want to ask you, person to person, woman to woman, 0:13:02.880 --> 0:13:07.320 how are you doing? Thank you so much for asking 0:13:07.320 --> 0:13:09.960 me that. I mean, it's overwhelming, And if you talk 0:13:10.040 --> 0:13:13.480 to anyone who has followed access to abortion care in 0:13:13.480 --> 0:13:15.520 this country, they'll tell you that this is not a 0:13:15.559 --> 0:13:19.920 surprise but nevertheless, it is no less devastating to the 0:13:19.920 --> 0:13:24.839 people that it impacts, particularly blackgrown or in rural people. 0:13:25.880 --> 0:13:30.840 But this is not a surprise, you know, anyone in 0:13:30.880 --> 0:13:33.160 the abortion field has been stounding the alarm, and so 0:13:33.200 --> 0:13:36.480 if anti abortion people who've told you told me, told 0:13:36.559 --> 0:13:40.920 everyone that this is what they were fighting for. But 0:13:41.120 --> 0:13:44.640 I think one thing that's taking me back, as someone 0:13:44.679 --> 0:13:48.079 who's covered this, and also as someone with a capacity 0:13:48.120 --> 0:13:52.520 to get pregnant, who has been pregnant, is that while 0:13:52.559 --> 0:13:58.040 we knew that this was coming, the the impact of it, 0:13:58.600 --> 0:14:02.560 the reality of it is no easier to swallow. And 0:14:02.679 --> 0:14:09.440 so it's been a hard week, and especially when you 0:14:09.559 --> 0:14:12.240 listen to people that this is impacting the most, and 0:14:12.320 --> 0:14:15.840 the stories of people being turned away, and women who 0:14:15.880 --> 0:14:20.720 are experiencing pregnancy complications and are being denied care or 0:14:20.720 --> 0:14:24.360 their care as being you know, prolonged in some way 0:14:24.480 --> 0:14:27.080 out of fear that the doctors caring for them will 0:14:27.080 --> 0:14:31.600 be criminalized. It's hard. It's hard to stop, you know. 0:14:32.040 --> 0:14:37.880 I M we have all heard the stories. I think 0:14:37.920 --> 0:14:42.680 that they were written down in our history books about 0:14:42.720 --> 0:14:50.400 what happened pre nineteen seventy four, and the fear and 0:14:50.480 --> 0:14:55.400 the reality being that abortion does not stop because the 0:14:55.440 --> 0:14:59.760 Supreme Court has overturned the constitutional right to bodily autonomy, 0:15:00.600 --> 0:15:07.120 abortion just becomes unsafe, right, And so, what do you 0:15:07.280 --> 0:15:13.480 believe then, are the actions that this administration should take 0:15:14.200 --> 0:15:21.040 in order to codify ROW or should have taken, because frankly, 0:15:21.040 --> 0:15:24.320 they could have codified it ten years ago in the 0:15:24.360 --> 0:15:28.880 Obama administration and they didn't. Right, well, I think at 0:15:28.960 --> 0:15:31.320 first it's important for us to all acknowledge that we 0:15:31.400 --> 0:15:33.720 are not going back to a pre road day. The 0:15:33.840 --> 0:15:37.440 advent of medication abortion will make illegal abortions safer in 0:15:37.560 --> 0:15:41.360 terms of a person's physical health, they will not be 0:15:41.440 --> 0:15:43.880 safe in terms of criminality, and that is where we'll 0:15:43.880 --> 0:15:47.000 see an influx of black and brown people, and they 0:15:47.000 --> 0:15:48.880 will be an influx of mothers as well, since the 0:15:48.920 --> 0:15:51.640 majority of people have abortions, and moms will be criminalized 0:15:51.680 --> 0:15:54.960 and then will be jailed. And so between that and 0:15:55.000 --> 0:15:58.440 then the fear of not being able to access adequate 0:15:58.480 --> 0:16:01.880 care if you have a miscarriage, for example, in ectopic pregnancy. 0:16:02.080 --> 0:16:04.960 That is where the physical danger comes in is doctors 0:16:05.000 --> 0:16:08.680 afraid to provide care. As for what Democrats should have 0:16:08.720 --> 0:16:12.240 done and want to and should or me to do now. 0:16:13.120 --> 0:16:15.200 All the people that I have spoken to, and these 0:16:15.200 --> 0:16:18.200 are people who have been either really politically involved or 0:16:18.280 --> 0:16:20.920 now this is there. What is driving them to be 0:16:21.000 --> 0:16:25.320 political now is expand the court it is and the 0:16:25.400 --> 0:16:30.600 filibuster it is, require and demands that people in the 0:16:30.640 --> 0:16:35.240 Democratic Party support access to abortion, no if ans or buds, 0:16:35.280 --> 0:16:37.800 and if they don't, get them out of office and 0:16:37.920 --> 0:16:40.200 elect someone who does. When I was in front of 0:16:40.200 --> 0:16:42.840 the Supreme Court on Saturday, every single person that I 0:16:42.920 --> 0:16:45.760 talked to said, do not tell me to vote. I did. 0:16:46.640 --> 0:16:49.120 What are you doing now? Because I did vote, and 0:16:49.160 --> 0:16:52.400 I am here right now. I've been protesting. You know, 0:16:52.480 --> 0:16:55.040 they were kids there with children who this is, you know, 0:16:55.040 --> 0:16:57.880 a four year old. It was their third, fourth, fifth protests. 0:16:57.960 --> 0:17:00.640 You know the parents are taking them continuously. So we 0:17:00.640 --> 0:17:02.760 were making our voices heard and we're voting. Those of 0:17:02.760 --> 0:17:04.640 the two things you tell us to do, we're doing them. 0:17:04.920 --> 0:17:07.440 So what what are you going to do? That's what 0:17:07.480 --> 0:17:09.080 people are telling me, And I think that is what 0:17:09.160 --> 0:17:12.440 a lot of people are demanding of anyone in office 0:17:12.520 --> 0:17:15.679 who says that they care about bodily autonomy, specifically the 0:17:15.760 --> 0:17:20.720 Democratic Party. You know, I just find it so frustrating. 0:17:20.800 --> 0:17:28.679 Because Vice President Harris was on CNN a couple of 0:17:28.880 --> 0:17:30.520 you know, at the time of this recording, it was 0:17:30.560 --> 0:17:33.520 a couple of days ago, and when asked by Dana 0:17:33.600 --> 0:17:38.200 Bash whether you know the people want you to do 0:17:38.280 --> 0:17:42.040 something and you have you have the Senage, you have 0:17:42.400 --> 0:17:45.560 the House, you have the presidency, and you're not doing anything, 0:17:45.960 --> 0:17:50.879 she said, do what? She said like, her response was 0:17:51.520 --> 0:17:57.160 do what? And I like lost my mind listening to 0:17:57.280 --> 0:18:00.400 the Vice President of the United States essentially say that 0:18:00.480 --> 0:18:03.440 she doesn't have any power, that the executive branch doesn't 0:18:03.480 --> 0:18:07.399 have any power. And so if the people on the 0:18:07.440 --> 0:18:10.120 ground are as frustrated as we know that they are, 0:18:10.200 --> 0:18:14.880 because we share their frustration, what do you think this 0:18:15.080 --> 0:18:18.600 looks like? And I mean, you know, the question that 0:18:18.640 --> 0:18:23.399 I was asked on MSNBC a couple of days ago was, Danielle, 0:18:23.680 --> 0:18:26.320 you know the Democrats want to focus on quote un 0:18:26.800 --> 0:18:31.520 kitchen table issues and inflation and gas prices. This is 0:18:31.560 --> 0:18:35.280 the anger and outrage going to sustain itself to mid 0:18:35.440 --> 0:18:38.359 term elections. And so I will tell you what my 0:18:38.520 --> 0:18:41.359 response was, but I want to hear what yours is 0:18:41.600 --> 0:18:46.280 to that question. My response is the response of anyone 0:18:46.320 --> 0:18:48.119 that I've ever asked when it comes to what's going 0:18:48.160 --> 0:18:51.120 to drive them, what's important to them, especially parents, because 0:18:51.160 --> 0:18:53.440 that is my focus at today dot Com. And every 0:18:53.480 --> 0:18:56.480 parent tells you there's no more bigger than table kitchen issue, 0:18:56.720 --> 0:18:58.680 the ability to cide, win up and how you start 0:18:58.720 --> 0:19:01.720 your family. What else is there other than a person's 0:19:01.760 --> 0:19:05.480 ability to be able to make those decisions with their doctor, 0:19:05.560 --> 0:19:08.880 with their spouse, with their family members. And it trickles 0:19:08.920 --> 0:19:10.480 down to I mean, there were moms who are talking 0:19:10.480 --> 0:19:13.240 to me, this is also about my ability to be financial, 0:19:13.280 --> 0:19:16.960 to make financial decisions, financial freedom. I talked to people said, look, 0:19:16.960 --> 0:19:19.160 if I wasn't able to access abortion care, I would 0:19:19.160 --> 0:19:23.080 still be tied to someone who was abusive. Who would 0:19:23.080 --> 0:19:26.399 be This is about personal safety, It's about you know, 0:19:26.560 --> 0:19:32.400 there is no other kitchen table issue than bodily autonomy 0:19:32.440 --> 0:19:36.000 and the freedom to make your private medical decisions for yourself. 0:19:36.040 --> 0:19:41.320 And so really I think that the kitchen table issue 0:19:41.320 --> 0:19:47.640 phrase is code for affluent whites issues that might matter. 0:19:47.720 --> 0:19:50.760 So people who think that this doesn't impact them, that 0:19:50.880 --> 0:19:53.400 they will still be able to access care if when 0:19:53.400 --> 0:19:55.920 and how they need it, and so they can focus 0:19:55.960 --> 0:19:58.600 on inflation because to them, they don't think that this 0:19:58.680 --> 0:20:01.760 is something that will them or their family members, And 0:20:01.920 --> 0:20:05.600 if you look at statistics and studies, that's just not 0:20:05.840 --> 0:20:09.280 true that you know want and for people we need 0:20:09.320 --> 0:20:12.360 an abortion, and that is not including people who need 0:20:12.440 --> 0:20:17.280 that care comes to any sort of pregnancy complication, actopic pregnancy, 0:20:17.359 --> 0:20:20.439 or businesscarage. So that would be my answer. There is 0:20:20.480 --> 0:20:25.840 no bigger table issue than access to abortion. What did 0:20:25.880 --> 0:20:28.600 you make you know? And Danielle I offered the same thing. 0:20:28.760 --> 0:20:31.040 I literally said the same thing. I said, I don't 0:20:31.080 --> 0:20:34.480 know what are we what we're talking about here? If 0:20:34.480 --> 0:20:37.360 you're talking about economic issues, I can see no other 0:20:37.400 --> 0:20:41.360 economic issue than the ability to family plan. Like, if 0:20:41.400 --> 0:20:43.919 there are more children at your table, then there are 0:20:44.040 --> 0:20:47.280 zeros in your check. I'm confused about how you're going 0:20:47.320 --> 0:20:51.040 to be able to provide for those kids, particularly when 0:20:51.080 --> 0:20:55.720 we are you know, when we have a government and 0:20:56.000 --> 0:20:59.919 a party that is not interested in providing childcare, tax credit, 0:21:00.119 --> 0:21:04.960 paid family leave, you know, universal pre K, that is 0:21:05.000 --> 0:21:07.960 not interested in doing any of those things. So what 0:21:08.000 --> 0:21:11.040 are you offering right to these people that you are 0:21:11.080 --> 0:21:13.320 now forcing to give birth? That's what that was. My 0:21:13.440 --> 0:21:16.480 response is the same as yours, And so what do 0:21:16.560 --> 0:21:20.040 you like, what did you make then, given all of this, 0:21:20.560 --> 0:21:24.720 what did you make of the President Biden's addressed to 0:21:25.400 --> 0:21:30.560 the nation following the Supreme Court decision? Did it hit 0:21:30.960 --> 0:21:34.959 the notes that you needed it to hit? Well, I 0:21:34.960 --> 0:21:36.399 can tell you from the people that I talked to, 0:21:36.440 --> 0:21:38.960 you know it didn't because and it was very interesting 0:21:39.000 --> 0:21:40.760 because everyone said, I already know what he is going 0:21:40.800 --> 0:21:42.560 to say before he said it, and they said, he's 0:21:42.560 --> 0:21:44.320 going to tell me to vote, And of course that 0:21:44.480 --> 0:21:46.439 is what he did. He said you need to vote 0:21:46.680 --> 0:21:49.720 from November. And people just do not want to hear 0:21:49.720 --> 0:21:52.920 that because again they did vote. These parents, these families 0:21:53.000 --> 0:21:55.480 voted in the middle of an ongoing pandemic. They brought 0:21:55.560 --> 0:21:57.920 their children into because they couldn't get time off work 0:21:57.960 --> 0:22:00.840 because voting is on a national holiday in this country, 0:22:00.920 --> 0:22:02.800 and so it just goes back to again, they want 0:22:02.840 --> 0:22:05.320 to see more, especially when to your credit. You know, 0:22:05.640 --> 0:22:08.440 when we talk about the economic fall out of access 0:22:08.520 --> 0:22:10.919 a limited access to abortion care, we live in a 0:22:10.960 --> 0:22:13.240 country with a pay gap where mothers get paid less 0:22:13.240 --> 0:22:17.120 than fathers, but there's actually a motherhood penalty. For every 0:22:17.160 --> 0:22:20.560 child that a mom has her she actually loses money. 0:22:20.720 --> 0:22:25.800 She misses out on opportunities for growth within her area 0:22:25.840 --> 0:22:29.520 of work. And so just statistically, you don't have to 0:22:29.520 --> 0:22:32.080 look forward to see just how this will impact every 0:22:32.119 --> 0:22:35.400 ass aspect of a person's life. They have the ability 0:22:35.440 --> 0:22:37.199 to get pregnant and do when they don't want to 0:22:37.320 --> 0:22:39.920 or am ready Moore, And so it just goes back 0:22:40.000 --> 0:22:47.159 to you cannot continuously tell people to do something to 0:22:47.240 --> 0:22:50.480 keep you in power if you do nothing with that power. 0:22:50.840 --> 0:22:53.200 And that's born out of the conversations that I've had 0:22:53.240 --> 0:22:56.160 with people, is why am I doing the same thing 0:22:56.240 --> 0:23:00.720 over and over again when I'm watching my so my 0:23:00.800 --> 0:23:04.720 friend co workers lose rights in the process. And we 0:23:04.840 --> 0:23:07.280 started this conversation. Is the first time in the history 0:23:07.280 --> 0:23:10.640 of this country a Supreme Court has given the constitutional 0:23:10.720 --> 0:23:12.520 right only to take it away. We are about to 0:23:12.520 --> 0:23:15.159 tomorrow will be a week where more than half the 0:23:15.240 --> 0:23:18.800 people in this country have lived without the constitutional right 0:23:18.840 --> 0:23:22.080 to bodily autonomy. A week we have lived with less 0:23:22.200 --> 0:23:25.800 rights than our parents and our grandparents. When we think 0:23:25.840 --> 0:23:29.520 about that, that's catastrophic if you really sit and just 0:23:29.920 --> 0:23:34.639 think about that, and so just vote. It's hard for 0:23:34.720 --> 0:23:42.520 many people to stuff. I don't know, Danielle, where we 0:23:42.600 --> 0:23:44.800 go from here? Because I said, you know, it was 0:23:44.960 --> 0:23:47.640 it was the Monday after the decision, and I tweeted 0:23:47.680 --> 0:23:50.200 and I said, this is going to be the first 0:23:50.240 --> 0:23:53.639 Monday of a generation of Mondays that are hard to 0:23:53.640 --> 0:23:56.520 get out of bed four right, And as I listened 0:23:56.560 --> 0:23:59.280 to you, and I think it and it really is 0:23:59.320 --> 0:24:05.119 cemented into my understanding that this generation, this young generation 0:24:05.280 --> 0:24:09.560 Gen Z, is going to have less rights, less access 0:24:09.600 --> 0:24:14.760 to equity. Then the quote unquote greatest generation that this 0:24:14.800 --> 0:24:17.359 country loves to bring up. Then you know, then the 0:24:17.560 --> 0:24:21.760 baby Boomer grandparents and you know they're Gen X parents, 0:24:21.880 --> 0:24:27.600 And so I what are what are the options? Because 0:24:27.600 --> 0:24:31.760 what I keep hearing from the administration is that they 0:24:31.800 --> 0:24:34.560 don't have any. We just need to vote. What do 0:24:34.720 --> 0:24:38.040 you see as a handful of the options that the 0:24:38.200 --> 0:24:43.480 strategies that this administration could take today if they had 0:24:43.520 --> 0:24:47.200 the will Well, I think again, it just goes back 0:24:47.240 --> 0:24:49.760 to the conversations that I've had with people who've been 0:24:49.800 --> 0:24:52.360 in this space, who've been fighting for access to abortion care, 0:24:52.480 --> 0:24:54.680 not just abortion care, but really just for expanded and 0:24:54.720 --> 0:24:58.480 access to any kind of reproductive, maternal and mental healthcare, 0:24:58.560 --> 0:25:01.800 including pregnancy three, nadal care, paid family leave, all the 0:25:01.800 --> 0:25:04.240 things you said again that this country doesn't provide yet 0:25:04.240 --> 0:25:06.920 they in a handful of states will not force people 0:25:06.960 --> 0:25:09.639 to give birth and so UM, when you speak to 0:25:09.680 --> 0:25:13.480 those people, the answer is very clear. It is and 0:25:13.800 --> 0:25:19.000 the filibuster, expand the court quotify row and then from 0:25:19.000 --> 0:25:21.840 the bully pulpit, as the president of the United States, 0:25:22.200 --> 0:25:28.040 hold members of your party accountable. But that's not um, 0:25:28.960 --> 0:25:33.000 you know, an outlier in politics. History has shown that 0:25:33.920 --> 0:25:37.280 plenty of presidents have been able to hold other, uh 0:25:37.680 --> 0:25:43.240 you know, members of their party accountable via the bully pulpit. Um. 0:25:43.480 --> 0:25:45.840 Miss McConnell does a very good job of it within 0:25:46.000 --> 0:25:49.080 his party to a certain degree. I'm in a way 0:25:49.119 --> 0:25:52.480 that someone might argue that Democrats certainly do not UM, 0:25:52.840 --> 0:25:55.159 but I think that you know, the study show that 0:25:55.160 --> 0:25:59.080 the lowest uh you know, amount of faith in the 0:25:59.119 --> 0:26:01.720 Supreme Court right now. And you know, I talked to 0:26:02.520 --> 0:26:05.880 a couple outside of the Supreme Court on on Sunday 0:26:06.240 --> 0:26:08.680 and they brought up when we took their phone, went 0:26:08.760 --> 0:26:15.679 to aocs on Instagram and just started clicking. She's saying 0:26:15.720 --> 0:26:18.640 what we can do? They wouldn't line by line, and 0:26:18.960 --> 0:26:20.879 you know, this is what we kind of want to 0:26:20.880 --> 0:26:24.679 see she's telling us the plan. So there are members, 0:26:24.760 --> 0:26:27.960 I think in the Democratic Party that have more concrete plans, 0:26:27.960 --> 0:26:30.600 whether it's aoclist before, it's also been very vocal as 0:26:30.640 --> 0:26:33.680 a plate and concrete steps. It sounds like the party 0:26:33.720 --> 0:26:38.520
