00:00:03.286 --> 00:00:07.524
What's your reaction to what

00:00:07.591 --> 00:00:09.926
chuck Schumer said?

00:00:09.993 --> 00:00:12.429
Any lever Democrat cans pull to

00:00:12.763 --> 00:00:13.530
slow down the process?

00:00:13.597 --> 00:00:14.898
He's talking about people making

00:00:14.965 --> 00:00:18.769
calls to senators or congress

00:00:18.769 --> 00:00:18.835
people.

00:00:18.902 --> 00:00:22.806
>> I think he's exactly right.

00:00:22.873 --> 00:00:24.341
People are in the mitdst of

00:00:24.408 --> 00:00:24.808
voting right now in a

00:00:24.875 --> 00:00:25.275
presidential election.

00:00:25.342 --> 00:00:26.443
That needs to come first.

00:00:26.777 --> 00:00:27.911
But the supreme court is going

00:00:27.978 --> 00:00:30.380
to decide whether we have the

00:00:30.447 --> 00:00:30.814
affordable care act.

00:00:30.881 --> 00:00:32.082
That argument is going to be

00:00:32.149 --> 00:00:34.284
heard right after the election.

00:00:34.351 --> 00:00:38.321
So this election may very well

00:00:38.388 --> 00:00:40.023
determine whether millions of

00:00:40.090 --> 00:00:40.791
people lose their health care

00:00:40.791 --> 00:00:41.058
during a pandemic.

00:00:41.124 --> 00:00:43.193
That's now claimed 200,000

00:00:43.260 --> 00:00:45.562
American lives.

00:00:45.629 --> 00:00:49.733
That will also decide whether to

00:00:49.800 --> 00:00:51.334
overturn roe V. Wade and allow

00:00:51.401 --> 00:00:52.836
regulation of air and water to

00:00:52.903 --> 00:00:54.171
address climate change.

00:00:54.237 --> 00:00:55.939
The stakes could not be higher.

00:00:56.006 --> 00:00:59.076
For that reason, if the

00:00:59.142 --> 00:01:00.444
Republicans ignore their own

00:01:00.811 --> 00:01:04.815
rules and stack the court, then

00:01:04.815 --> 00:01:06.116
I think senator shoouker needs

00:01:06.183 --> 00:01:06.817
to con template how do you

00:01:06.817 --> 00:01:07.951
unstack the court.

00:01:08.018 --> 00:01:12.823
It's wise for him to make sure

00:01:12.823 --> 00:01:13.256
he leaves nothing off the table.

00:01:13.323 --> 00:01:13.924
>> Shoouker has said everything

00:01:13.990 --> 00:01:15.692
is on the table if a trump

00:01:15.759 --> 00:01:18.829
nominee is confirmed this

00:01:18.829 --> 00:01:32.876
election year.

00:01:32.943 --> 00:01:33.643
>> If they rush through this and

00:01:33.710 --> 00:01:34.845
ignore their own senate rules,

00:01:34.845 --> 00:01:36.513
Mcconnell's own rule in an

00:01:36.847 --> 00:01:40.851
effort to stack the court, then

00:01:40.851 --> 00:01:41.251
I do think that senator Schumer

00:01:41.318 --> 00:01:45.122
will need to consider, how do we

00:01:45.188 --> 00:01:46.223
unstack the court after the

00:01:46.289 --> 00:01:46.490
election.

00:01:46.857 --> 00:01:48.525
So I think it's something he

00:01:48.859 --> 00:01:49.392
should definitely open.

00:01:49.459 --> 00:01:51.995
I don't know he or I or anyone

00:01:52.062 --> 00:01:55.832
else needs to be certain at this

00:01:55.899 --> 00:01:57.367
point because really the maximum

00:01:57.434 --> 00:01:58.869
pressure needs to be brought to

00:01:58.869 --> 00:02:00.871
bare not to violate the senate

00:02:00.871 --> 00:02:01.538
rules that Mitch Mcconnell

00:02:01.605 --> 00:02:04.274
established.

00:02:04.341 --> 00:02:06.042
Not to allow that kind of

00:02:06.109 --> 00:02:06.309
hypocrisy.

00:02:06.376 --> 00:02:07.911
I think this will really

00:02:07.978 --> 00:02:11.348
motivate people frankly to go to

00:02:11.414 --> 00:02:12.949
the polls because they know

00:02:13.016 --> 00:02:13.750
their health care during a

00:02:13.817 --> 00:02:15.185
pandemic is at risk if

00:02:15.252 --> 00:02:16.286
Republicans are able to stack

00:02:16.353 --> 00:02:17.287
the court this way.

00:02:17.354 --> 00:02:19.689
>> It does seem extremely

00:02:19.756 --> 00:02:20.924
unlikely that not one, but two

00:02:20.991 --> 00:02:23.794
more Republicans would vote with

00:02:23.860 --> 00:02:24.895
the Democrats to stop the

00:02:24.895 --> 00:02:29.666
nominee from getting confirmed.

00:02:29.733 --> 00:02:30.267
It isn't just the reality of

00:02:30.333 --> 00:02:32.936
politics that elections have

00:02:33.003 --> 00:02:35.172
consequences.

00:02:35.238 --> 00:02:35.806
Because clearly the hypocrisy

00:02:35.872 --> 00:02:39.910
doesn't matter to anybody who is

00:02:39.976 --> 00:02:40.410
already switched their

00:02:40.477 --> 00:02:40.911
positions.

00:02:40.911 --> 00:02:42.979
>> I think the hypocrisy is

00:02:43.046 --> 00:02:43.847
matters to the American people

00:02:43.914 --> 00:02:45.949
and whether they can keep their

00:02:46.016 --> 00:02:46.283
health care.

00:02:46.349 --> 00:02:49.820
So I think that they will pay a

00:02:49.886 --> 00:02:52.155
very high price if they betray

00:02:52.222 --> 00:02:54.925
their own word and do so right

00:02:54.925 --> 00:02:57.694
in the eve of an election.

00:02:57.761 --> 00:03:01.198
But nonetheless, if they betray

00:03:01.264 --> 00:03:04.234
their word and pay a penalty at

00:03:04.301 --> 00:03:04.935
the polls but the damage is done

00:03:04.935 --> 00:03:07.571
because they stacked the court,

00:03:07.637 --> 00:03:11.341
then senator Schumer will need

00:03:11.408 --> 00:03:13.210
to figure out how do we need to

00:03:13.276 --> 00:03:13.844
unstack the court because what

00:03:13.910 --> 00:03:16.947
Mitch Mcconnell is doing is now

00:03:17.013 --> 00:03:21.384
violating his own press didn't

00:03:21.451 --> 00:03:21.952
to the debt ri meant of the

00:03:22.018 --> 00:03:22.552
country and he will need to

00:03:22.619 --> 00:03:24.354
figure out what's the response.

00:03:24.421 --> 00:03:27.257
Because there will have to be

00:03:27.324 --> 00:03:27.424
one.

00:03:27.490 --> 00:03:28.058
>> Speaker Pelosi was asked

00:03:28.124 --> 00:03:30.060
about the possibility the house

00:03:30.126 --> 00:03:31.361
could impeach president trump as

00:03:31.428 --> 00:03:34.164
way of stalling and preventing

00:03:34.231 --> 00:03:35.498
the senate from acting on the

00:03:35.565 --> 00:03:38.001
nomination.

00:03:38.068 --> 00:03:41.071
Pelosi said we have our options.

00:03:41.137 --> 00:03:42.606
Do you have a position on that?

00:03:42.973 --> 00:03:44.407
Is have you discussed any

00:03:44.474 --> 00:03:46.977
options with the speaker?

00:03:46.977 --> 00:03:48.111
Would that actually slow things

00:03:48.178 --> 00:03:52.582
town or stop the process.

00:03:52.649 --> 00:03:54.284
>> I think that's one of the

00:03:54.351 --> 00:03:55.485
paramount questions, which is

00:03:55.552 --> 00:03:59.823
there are a lot of tools that we

00:03:59.890 --> 00:04:00.023
have.

00:04:00.090 --> 00:04:05.262
Which ones would be efficacious.

00:04:05.328 --> 00:04:06.162
We haven't had a chance to

00:04:06.229 --> 00:04:06.563
discuss this yet.

00:04:06.630 --> 00:04:07.163
We will be back in session

00:04:07.230 --> 00:04:07.430
tomorrow.

00:04:07.497 --> 00:04:09.099
That will be at the top of the

00:04:09.165 --> 00:04:11.001
horde of business because one of

00:04:11.001 --> 00:04:13.770
the things that I think is

00:04:13.837 --> 00:04:15.005
really driving support for Joe

00:04:15.005 --> 00:04:17.007
Biden at the polls is the fact

00:04:17.007 --> 00:04:19.009
that the president has done such

00:04:19.042 --> 00:04:23.313
a terrible job handling the

00:04:23.380 --> 00:04:23.580
pandemic.

00:04:23.647 --> 00:04:24.180
So many lives have been lost.

00:04:24.247 --> 00:04:25.015
Health care is on the ballot.

00:04:25.015 --> 00:04:25.482
And now with the supreme court

00:04:25.548 --> 00:04:29.786
seat up in the air, with the

00:04:29.853 --> 00:04:31.888
argument on the affordable care

00:04:31.955 --> 00:04:33.189
act, days after the election,

00:04:33.256 --> 00:04:35.358
nothing is more motivating to

00:04:35.425 --> 00:04:37.027
voters and to all of us in the

00:04:37.027 --> 00:04:38.194
house than protecting the health

00:04:38.261 --> 00:04:43.500
and well being of the American

00:04:43.566 --> 00:04:43.733
people.

00:04:43.800 --> 00:04:44.367
It this will be front and center

00:04:44.434 --> 00:04:49.372
tomorrow.

00:04:49.439 --> 00:04:51.708
>> You wrote about an encounter

00:04:51.775 --> 00:04:52.242
with Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

00:04:52.309 --> 00:04:55.779
Can you talk about what

00:04:55.845 --> 00:04:57.781
happened.

00:04:57.847 --> 00:04:59.549
>> I say I almost ended my

00:04:59.616 --> 00:05:01.885
career that night because it was

00:05:01.952 --> 00:05:02.585
rainy and dark and rushing into

00:05:02.652 --> 00:05:04.020
the capital.

00:05:04.087 --> 00:05:08.558
And I was half way through the

00:05:08.625 --> 00:05:09.159
door when Ruth Bader Ginsburg

00:05:09.225 --> 00:05:11.828
was on her way out.

00:05:11.895 --> 00:05:12.595
I almost knocked her down.

00:05:12.662 --> 00:05:13.129
I stopped myself before I

00:05:13.196 --> 00:05:16.566
collided with her.

00:05:16.633 --> 00:05:18.168
I said hello to her.

00:05:18.234 --> 00:05:20.236
I stepped around her.

00:05:20.303 --> 00:05:23.073
I watched her disappear into the

00:05:23.073 --> 00:05:25.475
Us I looked a at couple

00:05:25.542 --> 00:05:29.512
colleagues in the entryway.

00:05:29.579 --> 00:05:30.113
They said you do realize you

00:05:30.180 --> 00:05:30.647
almost ended your career.

00:05:30.714 --> 00:05:33.950
I said, yes, I do.

00:05:34.017 --> 00:05:37.787
And it would have been deserved

00:05:37.854 --> 00:05:38.254
if I knocked her down.

00:05:38.321 --> 00:05:39.089
That should be the end of my

00:05:39.089 --> 00:05:39.155
career.

00:05:39.155 --> 00:05:39.656
Thank goodness I didn't.

00:05:39.723 --> 00:05:44.527
>> How will you remember her?

00:05:44.594 --> 00:05:49.499
>> Years ago I formed a house

00:05:49.566 --> 00:05:50.133
caucus on the Ju dish to try to

00:05:50.200 --> 00:05:50.767
improve relations between the

00:05:51.101 --> 00:05:51.501
congress and the courts and

00:05:51.568 --> 00:05:53.603
invited her to come speak with

00:05:53.670 --> 00:05:53.770
us.

00:05:53.837 --> 00:05:57.374
She was gracious enough to come.

00:05:57.440 --> 00:06:03.480
And she was this small

00:06:03.546 --> 00:06:05.749
diminutive person with a giant

00:06:05.815 --> 00:06:09.119
brain and giant personality and

00:06:09.119 --> 00:06:09.219
intellect.

00:06:09.285 --> 00:06:09.886
She left such an incredible mark

00:06:09.953 --> 00:06:11.121
on our society for the better.

00:06:11.121 --> 00:06:18.728
I love how she became this icon.

00:06:18.795 --> 00:06:19.429
Rbg, I just love it.

00:06:19.496 --> 00:06:22.432
No one could have deserved that

00:06:22.499 --> 00:06:25.468
kind of iconic status than she

00:06:25.535 --> 00:06:26.569
did because she was such a

00:06:26.636 --> 00:06:27.137
trailblazer.

00:06:27.137 --> 00:06:31.141
So I think all of us have a fond

00:06:31.141 --> 00:06:32.475
place in our heart for her.

00:06:32.542 --> 00:06:35.478
She's certainly a blessed

00:06:35.545 --> 00:06:35.712
memory.

00:06:35.779 --> 00:06:36.246
>> I appreciate your time.

00:06:36.312 --> 00:06:37.947
Thank you.

00:06:38.014 --> 00:06:43.153
>> Thanks, Anderson.

00:06:43.186 --> 00:06:43.720
>>> Coming up next, what Joe

00:06:43.787 --> 00:06:44.320
Biden said about what should
