Speaker 1: You're listening to Comedy Central.
Speaker 2: Tonight.
Speaker 3: Tonight, we saw both candidates speak in reaction to last
Speaker 3: night's Supreme Court ruling. The ruling was a spectacular thing
Speaker 3: to behold. Actually, the decision was handing down in a
Speaker 3: matter befitting the stature and reverence that this nation holds
Speaker 3: for our Supreme Court.
Speaker 4: The US Supreme Court has reversed the decision of the
Speaker 4: Florida Supreme Court.
Speaker 1: Here an where to go?
Speaker 3: By the way, I'm gonna guess that guy. That guy's
Speaker 3: an intern. Reporters from all the networks struggled to interpret
Speaker 3: the minutia.
Speaker 5: He says, there's no justification for denying the state the
Speaker 5: opportunity to count all the disputed ballots now, and that's
Speaker 5: why I descend.
Speaker 2: But not everybody was able to keep up.
Speaker 5: They don't come right out and say anywhere, but listen
Speaker 5: to Justice suitor.
Speaker 6: Come on, Dan, pull it together.
Speaker 5: I'm to wait pursuing too. I don't get any of this.
Speaker 7: I don't pee keep stuff.
Speaker 5: I'll just throw my brow.
Speaker 2: Come on brow now.
Speaker 3: Our correspondence, Oh, that's awfully kind of you. Our correspondence
Speaker 3: were among the media throwing down in Washington. We're gonna
Speaker 3: go to the Supreme Court and Steve.
Speaker 8: Carell Steve, Yeah, okay, Steve Carell, Okay, that's interesting.
Speaker 9: That's that's good.
Speaker 2: Steve.
Speaker 8: Whatay, Just a second, John, what can you tell us
Speaker 8: about Wait a second, John, thank you? Uh yeah, I'd
Speaker 8: like the General Gow's chicken not too spicy.
Speaker 9: Thanks, it's Sean, Steve.
Speaker 2: Don't don't you have the brief?
Speaker 9: The Supreme Court brief?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 3: No, Well, why don't you go inside and get a copy?
Speaker 8: Okay, you know the two candidates.
Speaker 3: The two candidates were said to have spent the evening
Speaker 3: pouring over the complex and detailed Supreme Court ruling. But
Speaker 3: whereas Gore was pouring over it with his eyes and mind,
Speaker 3: Bush was pouring a glass of juice over it because quote,
Speaker 3: I don't want to finish my juice now. This five
Speaker 3: to four Supreme Court decision included a very harshly worded
Speaker 3: dissent by Justice John Paul Stevens, who wrote, quote, though
Speaker 3: we may never know with complete certainty the identity of
Speaker 3: the winner of this year's presidential election, the identity of
Speaker 3: the loser is perfectly clear. It is the nation's confidence
Speaker 3: in the judge as an impartial guardian.
Speaker 2: Of the rule of law.
Speaker 3: Let's go out, Advance Degenerous live at the campaign headquarters
Speaker 3: for the Nation's confidence in the Judge as Impartial Guardian
Speaker 3: of the rule of law. Vance Judge Stevens pronounced the
Speaker 3: nation's confidence in the judge as an impartial guardian.
Speaker 2: Of the rule of law the loser tonight. What's the
Speaker 2: mood like down there.
Speaker 10: Well, John, it's pretty quiet, somber. A lot of reflection
Speaker 10: going on, the nation's confidence in the judge as an
Speaker 10: impartial guardian of the rule of law. Is expected to
Speaker 10: come out any minute now and make its concession speech.
Speaker 9: Now.
Speaker 10: The folks here are disappointed, but say they're prepared to
Speaker 10: work with their opponents and bring the nation together behind
Speaker 10: the idea that judges are partisan ponds, beholden only to
Speaker 10: their own prejudices, which by all accounts ran a great
Speaker 10: race and deserves to celebrate tonight.
Speaker 2: Thank you very much, man, as we appreciate it. Now
Speaker 2: as we'll come back. I have word.
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, I'm getting worried. Now I'm getting word. Now
Speaker 3: we can go back to Steve Carell. He's by now
Speaker 3: had a chance to digest that ruling. Steve, what can
Speaker 3: you tell us about this Supreme Court decision.
Speaker 8: This is a complicated decision and it reveals a very
Speaker 8: divided court. Not only was this a five to four ruling,
Speaker 8: it was a very close five to four ruling. How So, Steve,
Speaker 8: my sources tell me O'Connor sided with the Conservatives fairly readily.
Speaker 8: But the other swing vote, Justice Kennedy, was extremely torn.
Speaker 8: In fact, a friend of mine who clerks for Kennedy,
Speaker 8: passed along this cat scan of the Justice's brain taken
Speaker 8: during deliberations. As you can see, Gore locked up the
Speaker 8: justices cerebellum and orbital operculum, while the lateral sulcus and
Speaker 8: cerebral peduncle were Bush Country. But if you look at
Speaker 8: the southeast portion right here, you can see Justice Kennedy's
Speaker 8: all important occipital lobe was simply too close to call.
Speaker 8: Bottom line, both sides claimed victory in Justice Kennedy's occipital lobe.
Speaker 3: Well, now, if both sides claimed victory there, what wound
Speaker 3: up happening?
Speaker 9: Well, it got very nasty in there. George W.
Speaker 8: Bush was ultimately awarded Kennedy's occipital lobe and in turn,
Speaker 8: the presidency, all because of a tiny cluster of five
Speaker 8: hundred and thirty seven Ganglia occupying less than one hundred
Speaker 8: thousandth of a square inch.
Speaker 2: We certainly not much of a mandate there.
Speaker 11: Hustive, Now it is a job, not at all.
Speaker 9: A few neurons. Horrifying, just horrifying.
Speaker 2: Okay, hey, thank you, Steve. You stay warm down there.
Speaker 9: Okay, I can't feel my feet.
Speaker 3: Okay, Although controlling your political message, you may soon get
Speaker 3: even trickiers.
Speaker 1: On Thursday, this bombshell dropped.
Speaker 4: The US Supreme Court today overturned laws on the books
Speaker 4: for nearly a century and ruled that corporations can spend
Speaker 4: freely now on political campaigns.
Speaker 1: Yeah, let that sink in.
Speaker 3: Corporations will now be able to spend money to influence politics.
Speaker 1: What don't you want to think about what that might
Speaker 1: look like.
Speaker 3: The ruling once again highlights the forbidden dance between theory
Speaker 3: and practice. The theory is, as the Court explains, Congress
Speaker 3: may not prohibit political speech even if the speaker is
Speaker 3: a corporation or union, and prohibitions on corporate independent expenditures
Speaker 3: is a ban on speech.
Speaker 1: Corporations and unions.
Speaker 3: They're people just like you and me, but without mouths.
Speaker 3: So they can only talk through their wallet cords.
Speaker 1: It's a nice theory.
Speaker 3: Now companies are allowed to spend as much money as
Speaker 3: they want directly producing campaign ads for candidates.
Speaker 1: That means our future looks bright.
Speaker 2: What's up?
Speaker 6: It's me the E Trade baby, here to tell you
Speaker 6: about the stock market because I wasn't aboarded. You know,
Speaker 6: think how much money you would have lost if I
Speaker 6: had been aboarded and wasn't here to tell you about
Speaker 6: E Trade. So don't vote for Dianne Feinstein. You know
Speaker 6: she wants me dead at E Trade.
Speaker 3: That is a cute from more on the Landmark decision.
Speaker 3: Return to senior business analyst John John Oliver.
Speaker 1: Are you okay? Oh sorry? Have you been have you
Speaker 1: been crying?
Speaker 2: Are you all right?
Speaker 1: What a day, John, What a day?
Speaker 12: With this historic ruling, the last bastion of discrimination in
Speaker 12: this country has come toppling down. For too long, John,
Speaker 12: corporations have suffered under the yoke of laws, stripped of
Speaker 12: the basic freedoms and dignity guaranteed by our founders.
Speaker 9: It's been a long long time.
Speaker 12: Calming, you can wait, change gone, Calm now go.
Speaker 3: You really have a terrible voice, you're saying corporations have
Speaker 3: been denied.
Speaker 12: Yes, brother, but this did not come easy. Who can
Speaker 12: forget the million logo March, when companies from across the
Speaker 12: country descended on Washington, their brand crying out for equality.
Speaker 12: And of course there were the brave leaders of that movement,
Speaker 12: inspiring their brethren with their actions, such as the Pillsbury
Speaker 12: dough Boy in his thirty two week hunger strike. Today,
Speaker 12: that dough boy became a dough man for the first
Speaker 12: time in history. Corporations can walk with their heads held high,
Speaker 12: having left their mark on American democracy. This is a
Speaker 12: huge victory, John, not just for conglomerates but all of
Speaker 12: their fellow citizens.
Speaker 3: I'm sorry I've refused to accept the corporations should have
Speaker 3: the same protections as people.
Speaker 12: John, Please open your heart. Corporations are an oppressed minority,
Speaker 12: forced to move headquarters from state to states in search
Speaker 12: of friendly at tax codes, sometimes being forced to live
Speaker 12: just off our shores in tiny mailboxes, even having to
Speaker 12: change their name to a gate persecution. It breaks my heart,
Speaker 12: but it's happened time and time again.
Speaker 1: But John, that was Philip Morris.
Speaker 3: They voluntarily changed their name to Utter because they become
Speaker 3: synonymous with giving people cancer. The problem with corporations is
Speaker 3: their sole motivation is profit. They don't have souls. They're
Speaker 3: not people.
Speaker 12: They Oh, well this just got awkward. Uh, John, what
Speaker 12: if I were to tell you that you were sitting
Speaker 12: next to a corporation right now?
Speaker 1: You're a corporation, Yeah.
Speaker 12: John Oliver Worldwide Enterprise is a subsidiary of Oliver Corp.
Speaker 3: But you, John Oliver, the person, have rates. Why should
Speaker 3: your corporate entity?
Speaker 12: Oh, John, John, if you prick my corporation, does it
Speaker 12: not bleed?
Speaker 1: No, it does not.
Speaker 12: If you deprive us of water, do we not thirst?
Speaker 1: Just give your employees work.
Speaker 12: Please not bottles. Come on, they can get a cup
Speaker 12: of water, the missery, come on.
Speaker 1: To set up corporate oligarchs.
Speaker 12: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoah, did you just drop the O bomb?
Speaker 12: You did not just drop the O bom with me?
Speaker 12: That did not just happen here. We can say that
Speaker 12: to each other. You can't say that to us. We
Speaker 12: have rights, now, John, you have more rights than people.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 3: Corporations can merge with one another. Gay people can't do that.
Speaker 3: They can't get married. Yeah, corporations can married, but gating can't.
Speaker 7: It's frame for me that that.
Speaker 12: Is for good reason. It's eight and T not at
Speaker 12: and Steve.
Speaker 1: Da this is you know, this is ridiculous. Let's not
Speaker 1: even please.
Speaker 12: What I'm saying, John is thank God with the Supreme
Speaker 12: Court's decision, I no longer have to put up with this.
Speaker 1: What are you doing?
Speaker 12: Yeah, well, I'm doing well. I should have done a
Speaker 12: long time ago. With my unlimited funds. I've purchased part
Speaker 12: of this show.
Speaker 9: Roll it, chuck.
Speaker 12: John Stewart says that if you make money in this country,
Speaker 12: you don't deserve a voice, probably so you can't cry
Speaker 12: for help while John Stewart is molesting you.
Speaker 7: Oliver Corp Has a better way.
Speaker 12: We've been working to harness the world's energy to keep
Speaker 12: children safe. After all, shouldn't we live in a world
Speaker 12: where everyone can be heard? Are not molested by John Stewart?
Speaker 12: We and Oliver Corp certainly think so? Yeah, Yeah, that's yeah,
Speaker 12: that's not fair.
Speaker 2: It's not fair.
Speaker 1: I'd pay for this.
Speaker 2: You wanted to talk.
Speaker 12: You should have purchased your own time slots.
Speaker 1: You're crying me in my worst and you can't say.
Speaker 5: That I'm sorry.
Speaker 2: I think I just did.
Speaker 12: But if you do have a rebuttal, John, you're free
Speaker 12: to incorporate and accumulate enough wealth to continue this discussion,
Speaker 12: which I would encourage you to do. I believe molester
Speaker 12: co is still a vagab bag very much.
Speaker 2: That week was all right.
Speaker 7: We all know.
Speaker 3: Country has been a bit of a rough patti lately, the.
Speaker 1: I believe it's referred to.
Speaker 3: But then all of a sudden, out of nowhere, Confederate
Speaker 3: flags start coming down, Supreme Court decisions supporting healthcare, fair housing,
Speaker 3: marriage equality.
Speaker 1: It was a display. It was a display.
Speaker 3: It was a display stunning, and it's in its alacrity
Speaker 3: and its completeness. Traditionally victimized communities granted the legal dignity
Speaker 3: that had been denied them so many years. Truly a
Speaker 3: moment of joy or or or to put that another way.
Speaker 13: Today some of the darkest twenty four hours in our
Speaker 13: nation's history.
Speaker 2: They're not they're not booing.
Speaker 14: They're saying, cruise, Why what is raw? The darkest twenty
Speaker 14: four What is wrong?
Speaker 3: The insurance exchanges remain open, Sir, and committed same sex
Speaker 3: couples can form lifelong society, stabilizing legally recognized bonds.
Speaker 1: Truly, Voldemort has risen, and the living will envy the
Speaker 1: dead that's a what.
Speaker 2: Is your worldview?
Speaker 3: And of course we need not take seriously the hyperbolic
Speaker 3: apocalyptic grantings of a.
Speaker 1: City United States Senator.
Speaker 3: Luckily for Senator Cruz, there were other survivors of good
Speaker 3: News Mageddon.
Speaker 15: It is a huge loss for a democracy.
Speaker 16: They essentially turn the US Constitution on its head, and
Speaker 16: I believe put a nail in the democratic process.
Speaker 5: There will be an effort to force people to conform.
Speaker 17: This is redefining a fundamental institution.
Speaker 18: Suppose three people say we want to be a marriage.
Speaker 19: We're three people and we love each other and we
Speaker 19: want to be marriage.
Speaker 20: What's to prevent that under this.
Speaker 3: Because people aren't born polygamists.
Speaker 2: You know, I knew even when I was five, I
Speaker 2: was different.
Speaker 3: While the other boys played with trucks and army men,
Speaker 3: I was figuring out bed sharing schedules with.
Speaker 1: Most of the lot. Not that there aren't real victims here.
Speaker 3: What happens to a florist who doesn't want to provide
Speaker 3: flowers to a gay wedding?
Speaker 17: Are they going to be forced either out of business
Speaker 17: like the florists the caterers of.
Speaker 13: An evangelic florists and bakers around the country who are coerced.
Speaker 7: Where does it stop enough?
Speaker 3: I am so tired of this old trope, this old
Speaker 3: stereotype about anti gay florists. It's all we ever hear
Speaker 3: about anti gay flores.
Speaker 1: Let me tell you something. Are some florists anti gay?
Speaker 14: Of course, there's truth in every stereotype, just like some
Speaker 14: scotsmen are stingy and some frenchmen wear striped shirts and
Speaker 14: carry around long breads.
Speaker 3: But not not All florists hate gay people.
Speaker 2: And it's time we accept that.
Speaker 3: The really weird part of the conservative reaction is when
Speaker 3: it stops being about the court making this decision and
Speaker 3: starts criticizing the idea of the court making any decision.
Speaker 8: Rixon Taurum said, today five unelected judges redefine the foundational
Speaker 8: unit of society. And what a crazy system to have
Speaker 8: the most important issues of our day decided by an
Speaker 8: elected lawyers.
Speaker 17: Five unelected black robe lawyer's rule. That is not the
Speaker 17: America that our founding fathers created?
Speaker 14: Then why did they put that article in the constitution?
Speaker 7: So why wouldn't that was long that.
Speaker 3: This is the stupidest So the founding fathers come up
Speaker 3: with this unbelievable idea for a country.
Speaker 1: Right, then some jackass.
Speaker 3: Throws in something about co equal branch government possesses judicial
Speaker 3: review over the constitutionality of legislation, and the founding fathers come.
Speaker 2: In the next day and they're like, put this in here?
Speaker 2: What is this?
Speaker 1: I told you we had Article one, two, and four.
Speaker 2: I don't know what three is.
Speaker 1: I don't know what that is.
Speaker 7: I didn't write that.
Speaker 1: What is wrong?
Speaker 3: Even some on the Supreme Court seem shocked that there
Speaker 3: is a Supreme Court.
Speaker 19: John Roberts quote, the majority's decision is an act of will,
Speaker 19: not legal judgment. The right it announces has no basis
Speaker 19: in the Constitution or this Court's precedent, adding, just who
Speaker 19: do we think we are?
Speaker 3: Perhaps it's time we go back to when a Supreme
Speaker 3: Court was just a court with extra sour cream.
Speaker 2: Did you know that that was the original court? Yeah,
Speaker 2: the original Supreme Court.
Speaker 3: The original Supreme Court was at court with extra shower spreads.
Speaker 3: I'm a good history teacher, and of course Justice Alito
Speaker 3: had to get in his arguments against the progress of humankind.
Speaker 19: Here's what Justice Alito said in his dissent. I assume
Speaker 19: that those who cling to old beliefs will be able
Speaker 19: to whisper their thoughts and the recesses of their homes.
Speaker 19: But if they repeat those views in public, they will
Speaker 19: risk being labeled as bigots and treated as such by governments, employers,
Speaker 19: and schools.
Speaker 1: Right, Oh, you mean that like it's a bad thing.
Speaker 2: Enough for nothing.
Speaker 3: I'd still like to be able to call ladies sugar
Speaker 3: tits without people going, you know, hey, slow down there,
Speaker 3: uncle creepy, that's your cardiologist. I mean, you know, why
Speaker 3: can't we just continue disliking and shunning the people we've
Speaker 3: always disliked and shunned. Everybody was always okay with it,
Speaker 3: but them look justice, as senators, your problem isn't judicial
Speaker 3: activism or overreach or politically correct policing. Your problem here
Speaker 3: is baldfaced out in the open, common sense experience. That's
Speaker 3: why you're not going to win the marriage equality fight.
Speaker 21: This.
Speaker 2: Let's talk about same sex marriage. I'm traditional, But what
Speaker 2: do you say to.
Speaker 21: A lesbian who's married or a gay man who's married,
Speaker 21: who says, Donald Trump, what's traditional about being married three times?
Speaker 1: Well, they have a very good point, yes they do.
Speaker 2: That's what point.
Speaker 3: You're not gonna win a marriage of qualitifight because even
Speaker 3: a man pathologically disposed to not understand other people's points
Speaker 3: of view.
Speaker 1: Unless it is also labeled Trump even he gets it,
Speaker 1: not that he doesn't.
Speaker 3: Try and set aside what went wrong with tradition in
Speaker 3: his particular case.
Speaker 15: But you know, I've been a very hard working person.
Speaker 15: My two wives were very good, and I don't blame them.
Speaker 15: I blame myself because my business was so powerful for me.
Speaker 2: Here's what I'm telling you.
Speaker 3: I am for traditional marriage, but to be fair to Trump,
Speaker 3: business is hotter than any wife.
Speaker 1: Could possibly be. Wouldn't you one of my golf courses.
Speaker 1: I think you would.
Speaker 3: All eighteen holes you've come back for more.
Speaker 13: Let's talk about the Supreme Courts, the only place where
Speaker 13: wearing a rope makes you more powerful. The Supreme Courts
Speaker 13: is one of the oldest institutions in American society, and
Speaker 13: after two hundred and thirty years, it's finally getting a
Speaker 13: fresh new face.
Speaker 18: Judge Katanji Brown Jackson cementing her place in history, becoming
Speaker 18: the first black woman to be confirmed to the Supreme Court.
Speaker 16: On this vote, the a's are fifty three, the nays
Speaker 16: a forty seven, and this nomination is confirmed.
Speaker 18: Cheers erupting in the chamber. Over at the White House,
Speaker 18: President Biden watching that final tally come in with the
Speaker 18: judge by his side.
Speaker 13: All right, okay, oh wow, he didn't know it's all row. Oh,
Speaker 13: this is exciting people.
Speaker 7: Finally a black woman will be on the Supreme Court.
Speaker 13: Wow. Wow, now this is happening just in time for
Speaker 13: the Court to eliminate all rights for black people and women.
Speaker 2: What are moments?
Speaker 22: Now?
Speaker 7: This is really incredible, man. Think about it.
Speaker 13: She will now be the most powerful black woman in
Speaker 13: the country to have her opinions entirely dismissed by two.
Speaker 7: Thirds of her coworkers.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 7: This is huge.
Speaker 13: And by the way, for anyone who wondered how much
Speaker 13: of an impact Katanji Brown Jackson would have, well she
Speaker 13: made history.
Speaker 7: From the moment she was confirmed.
Speaker 18: As Democrats rose to their feet with applause, Republicans headed
Speaker 18: for the door. Mid Romney of Utah one of three
Speaker 18: Republicans to vote yes, standing alone, the only GOP senator clapping.
Speaker 13: Really really, you know what, First of all, kudos to
Speaker 13: Mit Romney. Man, he's like, just decorum, you know, all
Speaker 13: those other assholes think about it. The first black woman
Speaker 13: since this country was founded gets confirmed to the Supreme Court,
Speaker 13: and you can't find it in you to stay and clap,
Speaker 13: just just clap even.
Speaker 7: Like a like a.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 13: I'm not saying you gotta throw your panties on the
Speaker 13: stage or anything. Just show some respect, just just some respect.
Speaker 13: Those Republicans ran out of the room like someone who's
Speaker 13: handing out free N word passes in the lobby. Oh boy,
Speaker 13: oh boy, I've always wanted to say that word, oh
Speaker 13: boy in public.
Speaker 7: Why would you leave?
Speaker 13: No one ever leaves, doesn't matter whether they like the
Speaker 13: person or not. Why would you leave the first black woman?
Speaker 13: And that's when you're gonna leave, I mean, and luckily,
Speaker 13: luckily the Republican hispyor couldn't spoil this historic moment, you know,
Speaker 13: because it's not every day that a black person in
Speaker 13: America gets sent to a court.
Speaker 7: They actually deserve to be in.
Speaker 13: And on FRIDAYKBJ she took her victory lap at the.
Speaker 22: White House tonight, celebrating history on the High Court Judge
Speaker 22: Katanji Brown Jackson and a moment centuries in the making.
Speaker 1: It has taken.
Speaker 11: Two hundred and thirty two years and one hundred and
Speaker 11: fifteen prior appointments for a black woman to be selected
Speaker 11: to serve on the Supreme Court of the United States.
Speaker 13: But we've made it.
Speaker 22: Jackson, a history maker and a barrier breaker, reciting the
Speaker 22: poetic words of Maya Angelou.
Speaker 11: I am the Dream and the hope, I'm.
Speaker 1: Slave and casting.
Speaker 22: This is a moment in which all Americans can take
Speaker 22: great pride.
Speaker 11: We have come a long way toward perfecting our union.
Speaker 11: In my family, it took just one generation to go
Speaker 11: from segregation to the Supreme Court.
Speaker 7: From segregation to the Supreme Court. WHOA, that was a line.
Speaker 13: I almost feel like, if you're a black person who succeeds,
Speaker 13: you've got double the pressure on you, you know, yeah, because
Speaker 13: you don't just have to perform, you've also got to
Speaker 13: come up with dope lines when you get the job.
Speaker 7: From segregation to the Supreme Court.
Speaker 1: What wo?
Speaker 13: That was powerful and that quote from Maya Angelo, All
Speaker 13: of it was fire. I mean, especially when you consider
Speaker 13: kavanaugh celebration where he just quoted the words of Captain Morgan.
Speaker 13: And by the way, by the way, props to President
Speaker 13: Biden for rocking those aviators during that speech.
Speaker 7: Yeah, way to make a historic moment look like a
Speaker 7: deleted scene from Top Gun.
Speaker 2: Mister president.
Speaker 7: You know, Biden only breaks those out when he's feeling
Speaker 7: his swagger.
Speaker 13: He's just like, oh yeah, his eyes are bleeding again.
Speaker 7: You never know which one it is.
Speaker 2: You never know.
Speaker 7: Let's get right into it.
Speaker 13: For the past few decades, conservatives in America have been
Speaker 13: chipping away at women's reproductive rights, and a few days
Speaker 13: ago they put the final nail in the coffin.
Speaker 23: Tonight, the landmark ruling the Supreme Court overturning Roe v.
Speaker 23: Wade taking away the constitutional right to abortion. The historic
Speaker 23: five to four decision overturning nearly fifty years of abortion rights,
Speaker 23: leaving the matter up to states now to decide.
Speaker 5: The ruling does not make abortion illegal, but it's no
Speaker 5: longer a constitutional right, so that leaves the issue up
Speaker 5: to each state. It's likely to become illegal soon in
Speaker 5: about half the nation. Some states have already banned as
Speaker 5: of tonight. The rest of the banded states are likely
Speaker 5: to follow in the coming weeks.
Speaker 13: That's right, the Supreme Court has officially overturned Roe v.
Speaker 1: Wade.
Speaker 13: And look, I know we expected it because the decision
Speaker 13: was leaked back in, but that doesn't make it any better.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 13: It's kind of like when as a kid you're acting
Speaker 13: up in the grocery store and your mom would tell you, Oh,
Speaker 13: I'm gonna whip your ass.
Speaker 5: When we get home.
Speaker 13: Yeah, you weren't like, oh sweet, I'm glad she told
Speaker 13: me first. That has softened the blow, because in some
Speaker 13: ways it almost made it worse. Right, we got to
Speaker 13: dread the day, and now that day is here, and honestly,
Speaker 13: it's kind of surreal.
Speaker 7: For fifty years, fifty.
Speaker 13: Years, women in America have had a constitutional right to
Speaker 13: an abortion, and now just like that, the Supreme Court
Speaker 13: has decided that it's finished. And by the way, the
Speaker 13: Constitution didn't change, right, Nicholas Cage didn't find a lost
Speaker 13: passage inside of a pyramid somewhere. The only thing that
Speaker 13: changed is that Donald Trump, of all people, managed to
Speaker 13: appoint three pro life justices to the Supreme Courts, judges who,
Speaker 13: by the way, went on and on in their confirmation
Speaker 13: hearings about how much they respect the important precedent of
Speaker 13: Roe versus Wade. And we all knew they were full
Speaker 13: of shit too, because, I mean, that's the same line
Speaker 13: you use whenever you book an Airbnb.
Speaker 7: I would never throw.
Speaker 13: A party, part party, party, am I even saying that
Speaker 13: right party.
Speaker 7: By the way, there's a hot tub in this house.
Speaker 13: Yeah, it seems like the only people on the planet
Speaker 13: who didn't realize what was happening with Joe Manchin and
Speaker 13: Susan Collins who now say that they were tricked, tricked,
Speaker 13: I tell you, by these judges. And by the way,
Speaker 13: why does Susan Collins never get tricked into improving healthcare
Speaker 13: or soul?
Speaker 7: Then climate change?
Speaker 2: Huh yeah, she's never like.
Speaker 13: Oh damn it, I accidentally canceled student loan debt.
Speaker 7: Get it together, Susan.
Speaker 13: And if the overturning wasn't bad enough, Justice QAnon himself
Speaker 13: Clarence Thomas wrote that he wants the court to reconsider
Speaker 13: the rights to gay marriage, gay sex, and contraception.
Speaker 7: Yeah, imagine that. This dude is so extreme.
Speaker 13: He's talking about banning rights I didn't even realize could
Speaker 13: be banned.
Speaker 7: He's gonna be reading the newspaper like.
Speaker 13: Justice Thomas wants to ban the right to engage in
Speaker 13: nipple play.
Speaker 7: Like at some point, you're not even a judge anymore.
Speaker 7: You just a cock block in a fancy robe. That's
Speaker 7: all you are.
Speaker 5: Hanging on everybody else.
Speaker 13: And by the way, By the way, the one ruling
Speaker 13: Clarence Thomas doesn't want to overturn and all the others
Speaker 13: that he mentioned is the right to interracial marriage. Yeah,
Speaker 13: which is a coincidence because he happens to be in
Speaker 13: an interracial marriage.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 13: I guess apparently if something affects Clarence Thomas personally, he's
Speaker 13: okay with It. Makes me think if we could just
Speaker 13: somehow get him impregnated by like a gay man, all
Speaker 13: of our problems will be solved.
Speaker 7: And by the way, that's just the joke.
Speaker 2: I know.
Speaker 13: There's some right wing punditus is gonna be like he
Speaker 13: is Trevor O threatening to sodomize and impregnated a Supreme
Speaker 13: Court justice. Is that what he's doing? There are people
Speaker 13: standing outside he's house right now with a penis. Is
Speaker 13: that what he's doing.
Speaker 1: It's a joke.
Speaker 7: Calm down now.
Speaker 13: Despite the Supreme Court ruling to overturn Roe v. Wade,
Speaker 13: that doesn't mean people in America want abortion outlawed. And
Speaker 13: the reaction the reaction to friday Is ruling showed just
Speaker 13: how out of state the Supreme Court actually is.
Speaker 16: From Los Angeles to Cleveland and Huntsville, Alabama. Americans took
Speaker 16: to the streets nationwide over the weekend.
Speaker 19: The protests largely peaceful gatherings, once again outside the Justices
Speaker 19: DC area homes Friday and stretching from coast to coast.
Speaker 13: Today, thousands of pro abortion rights activists jammed New York
Speaker 13: City traffic for hours, others blocking a Los Angeles freeway.
Speaker 7: This decision, he's an outrage.
Speaker 9: This decision is absolutely terrifying.
Speaker 18: More than anything, it just makes me angry.
Speaker 13: Yeah, that's right, from New York to New Mexico. Millions
Speaker 13: around the country are furious, and rightfully so, because women
Speaker 13: in America just lost control over their own bodies, which
Speaker 13: I don't care who you are, is a horrifying thing
Speaker 13: to be faced with. I mean, Rudy Giuliani called the
Speaker 13: cops because someone touched his back without permission.
Speaker 7: Imagine if someone forced him to to give birth, huh.
Speaker 7: I mean, someone would have to have sex with him first.
Speaker 7: But you get the points. Don't sell what I'm saying.
Speaker 13: And after half a century of having that right, it's
Speaker 13: now being taken away, which is especially crazy when you
Speaker 13: consider that countries like Mexico and Ireland are moving forward
Speaker 13: in the opposite direction.
Speaker 7: You don't realize how weird that is.
Speaker 13: Right, Ireland has had violent conflicts between Christians and other Christians,
Speaker 13: and even they are looking at America like, don't you
Speaker 13: think you're taking it a wee bit too far with
Speaker 13: the Jesus stuff?
Speaker 7: He said, a little bit too crazy, don't you think.
Speaker 22: So?
Speaker 7: The Supreme Court is shutting everything down.
Speaker 13: People are rising up in the streets, and the Democrats, well,
Speaker 13: they responded in a way that only the Democrats can.
Speaker 7: Democrats are already looking to November.
Speaker 18: They have fundraising emails going out in response to this decision.
Speaker 7: They have a new website up.
Speaker 19: Speaker Nancy Pelosi looked downcast when she began her press conference.
Speaker 24: I am personally overwhelmed by this.
Speaker 3: From time to time, I quote.
Speaker 15: This poem, I had no other country, even though my
Speaker 15: land is burning.
Speaker 20: Michigan Congressman Andy Levin tweeted a photo of himself in
Speaker 20: a yoga pose, saying, quote, in a moment of intense anger,
Speaker 20: I turn inward. Let us release toxicity.
Speaker 13: I feel like that's the perfect yoga pose for democratic leadership.
Speaker 13: Very little action, and your head is basically up your
Speaker 13: own ass. Because I don't know if anybody voted for
Speaker 13: the performative aspect.
Speaker 7: People just want things done.
Speaker 13: No one cares about Kentech cloths or singing on the
Speaker 13: Capitol steps, and especially not poetry. All right, I feel
Speaker 13: like any moment now, Chuck Schumer is going to throw
Speaker 13: in a fake pregnant belly and just take a knee
Speaker 13: in the Capitol be like, we are all pregnant now
Speaker 13: and we're standing together.
Speaker 7: Why do Democrats do this? Why do they do this?
Speaker 13: Not once have I seen Mitch McConnell come out and sing.
Speaker 7: A song about how overwhelmed he is. He just gets
Speaker 7: things done. He never comes out like, oh, nobody knows
Speaker 7: got trouble.
Speaker 9: I've shared no.
Speaker 7: Every time he used his power to make a new rule.
Speaker 13: In fact, the president's can appoint judges if it's an
Speaker 13: election year and they're black.
Speaker 7: I didn't American black, No war, says God.
Speaker 13: In fact, watching the Democrats response and knowing, knowing that
Speaker 13: they had multiple opportunities to get ahead of this, it
Speaker 13: maybe think maybe voters should change things up. You know,
Speaker 13: maybe you should do a new thing in America. Instead
Speaker 13: of fundraising emails, maybe you should do fund rewarding emails. Right, yeah,
Speaker 13: make the Democrats show you what they've done, and then
Speaker 13: you donate to their cause instead of being like, donate, we'll.
Speaker 7: Do something, and then they don't.
Speaker 2: What are they doing?
Speaker 9: It's the same reason.
Speaker 13: It's the same reason I don't pay my barber before
Speaker 13: he does the job. Yeah, he'll get his money after
Speaker 13: I see what he does. With my headline, I'm not
Speaker 13: making that mistake again. And now, please don't get me wrong.
Speaker 2: Don't get me wrong.
Speaker 13: I'm not saying the Democrats are doing nothing. In response
Speaker 13: to this ruling. The Biden administration has said that it
Speaker 13: would fight any attempt to restrict access to abortion pills,
Speaker 13: regardless of state laws, and they'll protect people who travel
Speaker 13: out of state to get a legal abortion.
Speaker 7: Plus, the Senate's.
Speaker 13: Judiciary Committee says that they're going to hold a hearing
Speaker 13: next month to explore its options.
Speaker 9: Yeah.
Speaker 13: Yeah, so they're coming through with both too little and
Speaker 13: too late.
Speaker 7: Very nice, very nice, the full range.
Speaker 13: Oh and in case, and in case you're wondering what
Speaker 13: Republican lawmakers think of telling women what they should do
Speaker 13: with their own bodies, well, they're celebrating the win of
Speaker 13: small government over the people. Cheers from anti abortion rights advocates,
Speaker 13: some celebrating the decision they've been working toward for decades.
Speaker 16: Over the weekend, President Trump took a victory lap on
Speaker 16: his conservative court appointments at a rally with Republican House
Speaker 16: Member Mary Miller, who made these controversial comments.
Speaker 8: I want to thank you for the historic victory for
Speaker 8: why life in the Supreme Court yesterday.
Speaker 9: A Utah state legislator is under fire for her remarks
Speaker 9: defending Utah's new abortion band.
Speaker 18: And my response is, I do trust women in that
Speaker 18: to control when they allow a man to ejaculate it
Speaker 18: so inside of them and to control that intake of semen.
Speaker 7: I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
Speaker 13: Did she say women should control the intake of semen?
Speaker 13: How by turning the little tap that's on the top
Speaker 13: of the penis?
Speaker 7: Is that turning that?
Speaker 9: Ah? That's enough.
Speaker 7: I don't want to get too pregnant.
Speaker 9: Aha ah.
Speaker 7: But other women with Trump that was even worse.
Speaker 13: She literally thanked Trump saving white life and to be fair,
Speaker 13: to be fair, she later said that she misspoke and
Speaker 13: meant to say right to life.
Speaker 7: But okay, here's the thing.
Speaker 13: Even if she misspoke, she still just kept on talking
Speaker 13: without fixing it. It's like she heard herself call it
Speaker 13: a victory for white life and thought, yeah, that sounds
Speaker 13: like something I would say.
Speaker 7: Yeah, let's stick with that.
Speaker 13: What's even worse is that the Trump supporters applauded her.
Speaker 13: Even if we give her the benefit of the doubts,
Speaker 13: the reaction from the crowd is pretty telling, right. I Mean,
Speaker 13: it's one thing for a person to accidentally rip a
Speaker 13: fart in an elevator, but it's way worse if everyone
Speaker 13: else in the elevator goes.
Speaker 7: Oh, yeah, yeah, that's the good stuff. Yeah, we like that,
Speaker 7: we like that a lot.
Speaker 13: So yeah, pro life is a feeling pretty good right now.
Speaker 13: But if you think that Robe being dead is the
Speaker 13: end of the story, and you think the right wing
Speaker 13: is going to take their bibles and go home, think again,
Speaker 13: because they're saying.
Speaker 7: That this is just the beginning.
Speaker 24: Some and bolden House Republicans want to take this one
Speaker 24: step further by pushing legislation to ban abortion at fifteen
Speaker 24: weeks nationwide. We know that former Vice President Mike Pants,
Speaker 24: who wants to run for president, supports a nationwide ban
Speaker 24: on abortion.
Speaker 12: Another big question is over the abortion pill, as it's called.
Speaker 12: Some states may want to target that medication.
Speaker 21: In the states that ban abortion, it is illegal to
Speaker 21: get those pills from a doctor, and some states are
Speaker 21: trying to go further and also ban receiving the pills
Speaker 21: by mail from a state where they're legal.
Speaker 13: Yeah, you see, conservative extremists aren't going to stop fighting
Speaker 13: just because they got roll overturned.
Speaker 7: They just won a huge victory. Why would they quit now?
Speaker 13: When a team scores a touchdown, they don't just walk
Speaker 13: off the field congratulating each other, you know, I mean,
Speaker 13: the New York Jets do, but the rest of the
Speaker 13: teams they keep trying to run up the score. And
Speaker 13: that's what these people have their site sets on. Because
Speaker 13: first it was no late term abortions. Oh okay, well
Speaker 13: it seems reasonable. Then it was no abortion after twenty
Speaker 13: three weeks, then fifteen weeks, then six, now zero.
Speaker 7: What's next?
Speaker 13: Or they're gonna make tiny little handcuffs to arrest every
Speaker 13: sperm that didn't fertilize an eggs.
Speaker 7: That'll be now, maybe next.
Speaker 13: Time you'll think twice before ending up in a sock
Speaker 13: instead of a vagina.
Speaker 2: Hauh.
Speaker 13: And I know, I know many people around the country
Speaker 13: feel infuriates, it depressed and like there's no hope, But
Speaker 13: there is there really is. First of all, there are
Speaker 13: many organizations, grossroots organizations on the ground who have already
Speaker 13: been helping women who couldn't get an abortion because they
Speaker 13: lived in some of these most extreme states. So you
Speaker 13: can donate to them, or you can volunteer. And as
Speaker 13: for the Democrats in power, there is something you can
Speaker 13: actually do. Yeah, here, I actually wrote you a poem.
Speaker 7: Roses are red, violets are blue. The people voted, So
Speaker 7: how about doing your job.
Speaker 13: And passing laws to codify contraception, marriage equality, and all
Speaker 13: the other rights of Supreme Court is basically threatened to
Speaker 13: take away and show are you?
