>> John: WELCOME, WELCOME,

6
00:00:34,634 --> 00:00:35,235
WELCOME TO "LAST WEEK TONIGHT."

7
00:00:35,301 --> 00:00:40,106
I'M JOHN OLIVER.

8
00:00:40,173 --> 00:00:41,341
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR JOINING

9
00:00:41,408 --> 00:00:41,508
US.

10
00:00:41,574 --> 00:00:42,375
AND LOOK, IT HAS BEEN A TRULY

11
00:00:42,442 --> 00:00:43,710
TERRIBLE WEEK, ONE THAT STARTED

12
00:00:43,777 --> 00:00:44,778
WITH TWO JARED LETOS AT THE MET

13
00:00:44,844 --> 00:00:46,246
GALA, AND THEN SOMEHOW MANAGED

14
00:00:46,312 --> 00:00:48,281
TO GET WORSE FROM THERE, TO THE

15
00:00:48,348 --> 00:00:53,553
POINT WE'RE ACTUALLY GOING TO DO

16
00:00:53,620 --> 00:00:56,856
SOMETHING UNUSUAL RIGHT NOW, AND

17
00:00:56,923 --> 00:00:57,624
THAT IS, TWO MAIN STORIES.

18
00:00:57,690 --> 00:00:58,425
AND OUR FIRST MAIN STORY TONIGHT

19
00:00:58,491 --> 00:00:59,392
CONCERNS THE FACT THAT THIS WEEK

20
00:00:59,459 --> 00:01:00,560
SAW THE LEAK OF A DRAFT OPINION

21
00:01:00,627 --> 00:01:01,261
WRITTEN BY JUSTICE SAMUEL ALITO

22
00:01:01,327 --> 00:01:02,395
THAT LOOKS SET TO STRIKE DOWN

23
00:01:02,462 --> 00:01:03,463
ROE V. WADE.

24
00:01:03,530 --> 00:01:04,697
AND WHILE THE FATE OF ROE MAY

25
00:01:04,764 --> 00:01:05,732
NOT HAVE BEEN A SURPRISE, THE

26
00:01:05,799 --> 00:01:06,566
DRAFT ITSELF WAS STILL A HORROR

27
00:01:06,633 --> 00:01:07,600
SHOW.

28
00:01:07,667 --> 00:01:09,269
>> THE 67-PAGE DRAFT OPINION IS

29
00:01:09,335 --> 00:01:10,770
CLEAR, SHARP, AND SCORNFUL,

30
00:01:10,837 --> 00:01:12,505
DECLARING IN ITS OPENING

31
00:01:12,572 --> 00:01:14,808
PARAGRAPHS THAT ROE VERSUS WADE

32
00:01:14,874 --> 00:01:16,776
"MUST BE OVERRULED" AND THAT THE

33
00:01:16,843 --> 00:01:18,545
1972 RULING "WAS EGREGIOUSLY

34
00:01:18,611 --> 00:01:20,680
WRONG FROM THE START."

35
00:01:20,747 --> 00:01:21,648
ALITO DISMISSES THE ARGUMENT IN

36
00:01:21,714 --> 00:01:22,816
ROE VERSUS WADE THAT THE RIGHT

37
00:01:22,882 --> 00:01:24,384
TO CHOOSE ABORTION IS PART OF

38
00:01:24,451 --> 00:01:25,351
THE CONSTITUTIONAL GUARANTEE

39
00:01:25,418 --> 00:01:27,187
OF LIBERTY AND PRIVACY,

40
00:01:27,253 --> 00:01:28,888
INSISTING "THE INESCAPABLE

41
00:01:28,955 --> 00:01:30,089
CONCLUSION IS THAT THE

42
00:01:30,156 --> 00:01:31,291
RIGHT TO ABORTION IS NOT DEEPLY

43
00:01:31,357 --> 00:01:32,926
ROOTED IN THE NATION'S HISTORY

44
00:01:32,992 --> 00:01:35,462
AND TRADITIONS."

45
00:01:35,528 --> 00:01:36,696
>> John: OKAY, BUT EVEN IF THAT

46
00:01:36,763 --> 00:01:38,431
WERE TRUE, WHICH, BY THE WAY,

47
00:01:38,498 --> 00:01:39,799
FUCK OFF, THE FRAMERS PROBABLY

48
00:01:39,866 --> 00:01:41,634
LEFT OFF THE SPECIFIC RIGHT TO

49
00:01:41,701 --> 00:01:42,302
ABORTION BECAUSE THEY COULDN'T

50
00:01:42,368 --> 00:01:42,936
ANTICIPATE IT BEING SUCH A

51
00:01:43,002 --> 00:01:44,337
MASSIVE CONCERN.

52
00:01:44,404 --> 00:01:45,438
I DON'T KNOW WHY THESE

53
00:01:45,505 --> 00:01:49,776
PARTICULAR INDIVIDUALS DIDN'T

54
00:01:49,843 --> 00:01:50,376
HAVE ABORTION ON THEIR MINDS,

55
00:01:50,443 --> 00:01:53,546
THERE MUST BE SOME EXPLANATION.

56
00:01:53,613 --> 00:01:55,415
I JUST CAN'T QUITE PLACE THE

57
00:01:55,482 --> 00:01:58,017
EXACT REASON, BUT IT'S ON THE

58
00:01:58,084 --> 00:01:59,385
TIP OF MY PENIS.

59
00:01:59,452 --> 00:02:00,553
[LAUGHTER]

60
00:02:00,620 --> 00:02:01,521
AND LOOK, ALITO WASN'T JUST

61
00:02:01,588 --> 00:02:02,322
DEFERRING TO THE CONSTITUTION,

62
00:02:02,388 --> 00:02:03,523
HE REPEATEDLY CITED SOME OTHER

63
00:02:03,590 --> 00:02:04,624
NOTABLE SOURCES, TOO, LIKE 17th

64
00:02:04,691 --> 00:02:05,959
CENTURY JURIST SIR MATTHEW HALE

65
00:02:06,025 --> 00:02:06,593
WHO ONCE DESCRIBED ABORTION AS A

66
00:02:06,659 --> 00:02:09,562
"GREAT CRIME."

67
00:02:09,629 --> 00:02:10,396
BUT THAT IS NOT ALL THAT HALE

68
00:02:10,463 --> 00:02:11,764
THOUGHT -- HE ALSO ARGUED THAT

69
00:02:11,831 --> 00:02:13,032
A HUSBAND CANNOT BE GUILTY OF A

70
00:02:13,099 --> 00:02:14,367
RAPE COMMITTED UPON HIS WIFE,

71
00:02:14,434 --> 00:02:15,768
SENTENCED TWO WOMEN TO DEATH FOR

72
00:02:15,835 --> 00:02:17,403
WITCHCRAFT, AND ARGUED YOUNG

73
00:02:17,470 --> 00:02:18,571
WOMEN WERE THE RUIN OF FAMILIES,

74
00:02:18,638 --> 00:02:20,373
BECAUSE THEY, AND, I QUOTE,

75
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:21,040
"LEARN TO BE BOLD" AND "TALK

76
00:02:21,107 --> 00:02:23,142
LOUD."

77
00:02:23,209 --> 00:02:24,310
AND WHILE THOSE BELIEFS MIGHT

78
00:02:24,377 --> 00:02:27,046
EARN YOU A NETFLIX COMEDY

79
00:02:27,113 --> 00:02:28,081
SPECIAL CALLED, "TRIGGER THIS"

80
00:02:28,147 --> 00:02:29,616
THEY SHOULD ABSOLUTELY

81
00:02:29,682 --> 00:02:30,316
DISQUALIFY YOU AS A SCHOLARLY

82
00:02:30,383 --> 00:02:31,217
REFERENCE ON THE MATTER OF

83
00:02:31,284 --> 00:02:33,253
REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS.

84
00:02:33,319 --> 00:02:34,187
AND LOOK, THIS ISN'T THE FIRST

85
00:02:34,254 --> 00:02:35,088
TIME WE'VE TALKED ABOUT ABORTION

86
00:02:35,154 --> 00:02:36,523
ON THIS SHOW.

87
00:02:36,589 --> 00:02:41,294
IN FACT, THE FIRST TIME WE

88
00:02:41,361 --> 00:02:43,429
TALKED ABOUT IT IN DEPTH, WE

89
00:02:43,496 --> 00:02:45,865
REWARDED ANYONE FOR STICKING TO

90
00:02:45,932 --> 00:02:48,401
THE END OF THE STORY WITH A

91
00:02:48,468 --> 00:02:51,004
VIDEO OF SLOTHS PLAYING IN A

92
00:02:51,070 --> 00:02:53,273
BUCKET THAT WAS ALMOST

93
00:02:53,339 --> 00:02:53,773
CRIMINALLY JOYFUL.

94
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:54,674
AND IF YOU'RE EXPECTING

95
00:02:54,741 --> 00:02:55,842
SOMETHING SIMILAR THIS TIME

96
00:02:55,909 --> 00:02:56,776
AROUND, I'VE GOT BAD NEWS FOR

97
00:02:56,843 --> 00:02:57,944
YOU, THOSE SLOTHS ARE DEAD NOW.

98
00:02:58,011 --> 00:02:58,778
ALL OF THEM, TWO FROM HEROIN.

99
00:02:58,845 --> 00:03:03,550
IT'S TIME TO GROW UP.

100
00:03:03,616 --> 00:03:04,284
[LAUGHTER]

101
00:03:04,350 --> 00:03:05,585
BECAUSE WE NEED TO BE ABLE TO

102
00:03:05,652 --> 00:03:06,419
TALK ABOUT ABORTION LIKE ADULTS.

103
00:03:06,486 --> 00:03:07,487
BECAUSE WHEN, AS SEEMS

104
00:03:07,554 --> 00:03:08,721
INEVITABLE, THIS RULING BECOMES

105
00:03:08,788 --> 00:03:09,556
OFFICIAL, THERE WILL BE

106
00:03:09,622 --> 00:03:10,290
IMMEDIATE AND DEVASTATING

107
00:03:10,356 --> 00:03:11,190
CONSEQUENCES.

108
00:03:11,257 --> 00:03:12,158
AND IT'S WORTH TAKING SOME TIME

109
00:03:12,225 --> 00:03:12,992
TONIGHT TO TALK ABOUT A FEW

110
00:03:13,059 --> 00:03:13,993
THINGS: WHAT THIS RULING MEANS,

111
00:03:14,060 --> 00:03:15,194
HOW WE GOT TO THIS POINT, AND

112
00:03:15,261 --> 00:03:16,296
WHERE WE GO NOW.

113
00:03:16,362 --> 00:03:17,530
AND WHEN IT COMES TO WHAT THIS

114
00:03:17,597 --> 00:03:18,398
MEANS, IT'S CATASTROPHIC.

115
00:03:18,464 --> 00:03:19,866
IT'LL QUICKLY TRIGGER BANS ON

116
00:03:19,933 --> 00:03:24,070
ABORTION IN THESE 22 STATES.

117
00:03:24,137 --> 00:03:24,938
AND IF YOU ARE STILL UNAWARE OF

118
00:03:25,004 --> 00:03:26,339
JUST HOW UBIQUITOUS A PROCEDURE

119
00:03:26,406 --> 00:03:29,309
THIS IS, AN ESTIMATED 25% OF

120
00:03:29,375 --> 00:03:30,410
WOMEN HAVE AN ABORTION, AND

121
00:03:30,476 --> 00:03:30,977
6 IN 10 OF THEM ARE ALREADY

122
00:03:31,044 --> 00:03:32,579
PARENTS.

123
00:03:32,645 --> 00:03:34,080
SOME WHO GET ABORTIONS ARE

124
00:03:34,147 --> 00:03:35,114
SURVIVORS OF RAPE OR INCEST,

125
00:03:35,181 --> 00:03:36,549
OTHERS MIGHT NEED ONE FOR

126
00:03:36,616 --> 00:03:37,884
MEDICAL REASONS, BUT ALSO, JUST

127
00:03:37,951 --> 00:03:39,352
TO BE CLEAR: SOME WILL BE

128
00:03:39,419 --> 00:03:40,687
SEEKING AN ABORTION BECAUSE THEY

129
00:03:40,753 --> 00:03:42,322
FUCKING WANT ONE.

130
00:03:42,388 --> 00:03:43,022
AND THIS IS VERY MUCH ABOUT

131
00:03:43,089 --> 00:03:44,891
THEM, TOO.

132
00:03:44,958 --> 00:03:45,792
THIS A FIGHT FOR PEOPLE'S RIGHT

133
00:03:45,858 --> 00:03:46,326
TO HAVE CONTROL OVER THEIR

134
00:03:46,392 --> 00:03:47,760
BODIES.

135
00:03:47,827 --> 00:03:49,862
IT'S ABOUT BODILY AUTONOMY.

136
00:03:49,929 --> 00:03:51,564
AND THE ONLY TIME IT'S OKAY TO

137
00:03:51,631 --> 00:03:53,099
ARGUE AGAINST THAT IS IF THE

138
00:03:53,166 --> 00:03:53,800
BODY IN QUESTION BELONGS TO

139
00:03:53,866 --> 00:03:55,535
ELMO.

140
00:03:55,602 --> 00:03:56,202
BECAUSE THEN, IT IS ACTUALLY

141
00:03:56,269 --> 00:03:58,471
FINE.

142
00:03:58,538 --> 00:03:59,572
[LAUGHTER]

143
00:03:59,639 --> 00:04:00,907
HE LITERALLY CAN'T FUNCTION

144
00:04:00,974 --> 00:04:01,441
UNLESS SOMEONE ELSE IS

145
00:04:01,507 --> 00:04:03,109
ARM-FUCKING HIM FROM BELOW.

146
00:04:03,176 --> 00:04:04,877
BUT ANYTHING BEYOND THAT EXAMPLE

147
00:04:04,944 --> 00:04:07,013
IS JUST NOT OKAY.

148
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:08,381
[LAUGHTER]

149
00:04:08,448 --> 00:04:09,182
AND SOME CONSERVATIVES HAVE

150
00:04:09,248 --> 00:04:10,617
ARGUED THAT THE REACTION THIS

151
00:04:10,683 --> 00:04:11,884
WEEK HAS BEEN HYSTERICAL -- THAT

152
00:04:11,951 --> 00:04:15,488
THIS IS JUST RETURNING THE ISSUE

153
00:04:15,555 --> 00:04:22,295
TO THE STATES, AND THAT PEOPLE

154
00:04:22,362 --> 00:04:22,895
DO STILL HAVE A CHOICE.

155
00:04:22,962 --> 00:04:24,030
>> THIS IS NOT AN OPINION,

156
00:04:24,097 --> 00:04:24,631
BY THE WAY, THAT IS GOING TO

157
00:04:24,697 --> 00:04:25,231
UNDO ABORTION IN THIS COUNTRY.

158
00:04:25,298 --> 00:04:26,065
STATES MAY PUT SOME MORE

159
00:04:26,132 --> 00:04:26,699
RESTRICTIONS ON IT, BUT PEOPLE

160
00:04:26,766 --> 00:04:27,567
HAVE THE RIGHT TO LEAVE.

161
00:04:27,634 --> 00:04:28,501
THEY CAN GO LIVE SOMEWHERE ELSE

162
00:04:28,568 --> 00:04:29,168
WHERE IT'S MORE OF A FREE FOR

163
00:04:29,235 --> 00:04:30,370
ALL AND THEY CAN DO WHATEVER

164
00:04:30,436 --> 00:04:31,270
THEY WANT.

165
00:04:31,337 --> 00:04:32,572
>> John: OKAY, FIRST, "WHERE

166
00:04:32,639 --> 00:04:33,640
IT'S MORE OF A FREE-FOR-ALL?"

167
00:04:33,706 --> 00:04:34,207
LET'S JUST GET ONE THING

168
00:04:34,273 --> 00:04:35,408
STRAIGHT.

169
00:04:35,475 --> 00:04:36,376
IF YOU MOVE TO DELAWARE, YOU'RE

170
00:04:36,442 --> 00:04:37,577
NOT IN SOME BACCHANALIAN,

171
00:04:37,644 --> 00:04:38,678
BUY-ONE-GET-ONE-FREE ABORTION

172
00:04:38,745 --> 00:04:40,013
PARADISE.

173
00:04:40,079 --> 00:04:41,547
YOU'RE JUST IN WILMINGTON.

174
00:04:41,614 --> 00:04:42,982
I JUST DON'T WANT ANYONE TO BE

175
00:04:43,049 --> 00:04:45,251
DISAPPOINTED WHEN THEY VISIT.

176
00:04:45,318 --> 00:04:46,386
BUT ALSO, IT'S NOT ABOUT MERELY

177
00:04:46,452 --> 00:04:46,886
HAVING THE RIGHT TO GO

178
00:04:46,953 --> 00:04:48,521
SOMEWHERE ELSE.

179
00:04:48,588 --> 00:04:49,455
IT'S ABOUT WHETHER YOU HAVE THE

180
00:04:49,522 --> 00:04:50,289
RESOURCES AND ABILITY TO DO

181
00:04:50,356 --> 00:04:52,225
THAT.

182
00:04:52,291 --> 00:04:53,426
AND MANY MAY NOT, WITH THIS

183
00:04:53,493 --> 00:04:54,661
DISPROPORTIONATELY AFFECTING

184
00:04:54,727 --> 00:04:56,095
THOSE WITH DISABILITIES, OR WHO

185
00:04:56,162 --> 00:04:56,763
ARE TRANSGENDER, IMMIGRANTS, OR

186
00:04:56,829 --> 00:04:58,464
PEOPLE OF COLOR.

187
00:04:58,531 --> 00:05:00,400
AND THE THING IS, EVEN WITH JUST

188
00:05:00,466 --> 00:05:02,001
THE EXISTING LAWS THAT HAVE BEEN

189
00:05:02,068 --> 00:05:03,069
RECENTLY PASSED, ABORTIONS HAD

190
00:05:03,136 --> 00:05:05,471
BECOME INCREASINGLY DIFFICULT TO

191
00:05:05,538 --> 00:05:05,638
GET.

192
00:05:05,705 --> 00:05:06,839
JUST WATCH AS ONE WOMAN

193
00:05:06,906 --> 00:05:08,174
IN TEXAS LEARNED WHAT GETTING AN

194
00:05:08,241 --> 00:05:09,642
ABORTION WOULD ENTAIL FOR HER

195
00:05:09,709 --> 00:05:11,978
AFTER HER STATE PASSED ITS

196
00:05:12,045 --> 00:05:12,679
SO-CALLED "FETAL HEARTBEAT" LAW

197
00:05:12,745 --> 00:05:14,514
LAST YEAR.

198
00:05:14,580 --> 00:05:17,550
>> YOU'RE MEASURING AT 6.1 WEEKS

199
00:05:17,617 --> 00:05:18,384
TODAY, BUT WE DO SEE FETAL

200
00:05:18,451 --> 00:05:21,254
CARDIAC ACTIVITY ON ULTRASOUND.

201
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:23,189
SO, AS OF SEPTEMBER 1st IN

202
00:05:23,256 --> 00:05:24,557
TEXAS, WHAT THAT MEANS IS THAT

203
00:05:24,624 --> 00:05:25,491
YOU ARE INELIGIBLE TO HAVE AN

204
00:05:25,558 --> 00:05:26,092
ABORTION IN THE STATE OF TEXAS

205
00:05:26,159 --> 00:05:28,428
RIGHT NOW.

206
00:05:28,494 --> 00:05:29,862
YOUR NEXT OPTIONS WOULD BE

207
00:05:29,929 --> 00:05:30,463
TRAVELING OUT OF STATE TO GET

208
00:05:30,530 --> 00:05:32,231
THE PROCEDURE DONE.

209
00:05:32,298 --> 00:05:33,433
>> I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW THAT I WAS

210
00:05:33,499 --> 00:05:35,468
PREGNANT.

211
00:05:35,535 --> 00:05:37,303
I KIND OF JUST TOOK A TEST.

212
00:05:37,370 --> 00:05:38,237
I'M SIX WEEKS AND ONE DAY

213
00:05:38,304 --> 00:05:39,939
PREGNANT.

214
00:05:40,006 --> 00:05:40,807
I'M NOT READY TO HAVE ANOTHER

215
00:05:40,873 --> 00:05:42,208
KID.

216
00:05:42,275 --> 00:05:44,977
I HAVE TWO OTHER LITTLE ONES

217
00:05:45,044 --> 00:05:49,949
THAT I TAKE CARE OF, BY MYSELF.

218
00:05:50,016 --> 00:05:50,550
SO THIS KIND OF WAS VERY

219
00:05:50,616 --> 00:05:52,585
UNEXPECTED.

220
00:05:52,652 --> 00:05:54,821
OTHER FORMS OF BIRTH CONTROL

221
00:05:54,887 --> 00:05:58,357
FAILED ME, AND NOW IT LOOKS LIKE

222
00:05:58,424 --> 00:06:01,527
I'M JUMPING THROUGH MORE HOOPS

223
00:06:01,594 --> 00:06:02,095
IN ORDER TO KEEP OUR LIVES

224
00:06:02,161 --> 00:06:03,763
GOING.

225
00:06:03,830 --> 00:06:05,364
>> John: SIX WEEKS AND A DAY,

226
00:06:05,431 --> 00:06:06,833
AND SHE CAN'T GET AN ABORTION.

227
00:06:06,899 --> 00:06:10,036
FOR MOST PEOPLE, THAT'S A PERIOD

228
00:06:10,103 --> 00:06:11,404
THAT IS TWO WEEKS LATE.

229
00:06:11,471 --> 00:06:12,105
AND YOUR PERIOD COULD BE TWO

230
00:06:12,171 --> 00:06:13,406
WEEKS LATE FOR ANY NUMBER OF

231
00:06:13,473 --> 00:06:19,712
REASONS: MAYBE YOU'RE TIRED, OR

232
00:06:19,779 --> 00:06:22,381
TRAVELING, OR HAD A CHANGE IN

233
00:06:22,448 --> 00:06:24,984
DIET OR EXERCISE, OR MAYBE

234
00:06:25,051 --> 00:06:27,687
YOU'RE JUST DEALING WITH THE

235
00:06:27,754 --> 00:06:28,387
STRESS OF LIVING IN A

236
00:06:28,454 --> 00:06:29,155
MISOGYNISTIC

237
00:06:29,222 --> 00:06:30,089
THEOCRACY RUN BY FIVE OF THE

238
00:06:30,156 --> 00:06:30,723
BIGGEST WEIRDOS IN THE COUNTRY,

239
00:06:30,790 --> 00:06:31,858
INCLUDING JUSTICE BEER PONG

240
00:06:31,924 --> 00:06:32,492
HERE, AND JUSTICE "MY WIFE

241
00:06:32,558 --> 00:06:33,593
HELPED PLAN A COUP AND ALL I GOT

242
00:06:33,659 --> 00:06:34,560
WAS NO CONSEQUENCES WHATSOEVER."

243
00:06:34,627 --> 00:06:35,461
NOW, IN THAT WOMAN'S

244
00:06:35,528 --> 00:06:36,329
PARTICULAR CASE, SHE WAS ABLE TO

245
00:06:36,395 --> 00:06:37,029
TAKE A LOAN AND DRIVE ALL THE

246
00:06:37,096 --> 00:06:37,697
WAY TO OKLAHOMA TO GET AN

247
00:06:37,764 --> 00:06:40,800
ABORTION.

248
00:06:40,867 --> 00:06:44,203
AND AS AWFUL AS THIS SOUNDS, SHE

249
00:06:44,270 --> 00:06:46,539
WAS ACTUALLY LUCKY, BECAUSE NOW,

250
00:06:46,606 --> 00:06:47,440
THAT IS NO LONGER POSSIBLE.

251
00:06:47,507 --> 00:06:48,674
JUST THIS WEEK, OKLAHOMA'S

252
00:06:48,741 --> 00:06:50,009
GOVERNOR SIGNED A TEXAS-STYLE

253
00:06:50,076 --> 00:06:52,945
ABORTION BAN INTO LAW, WHICH IS

254
00:06:53,012 --> 00:06:54,380
NOW OFFICIALLY ONE OF THE WORST

255
00:06:54,447 --> 00:06:55,214
THINGS THAT OKLAHOMA HAS EVER

256
00:06:55,281 --> 00:06:56,349
PRODUCED, AND I'LL REMIND YOU,

257
00:06:56,415 --> 00:06:56,849
IT ALSO GAVE THE WORLD

258
00:06:56,916 --> 00:06:59,385
DR. FUCKING PHIL.

259
00:06:59,452 --> 00:07:04,557
[LAUGHTER]

260
00:07:04,624 --> 00:07:06,526
GIVEN THAT HALF OF THOSE WHO

261
00:07:06,592 --> 00:07:08,561
HAVE ABORTIONS ARE BELOW THE

262
00:07:08,628 --> 00:07:12,098
POVERTY LINE, WITH AN ADDITIONAL

263
00:07:12,165 --> 00:07:15,134
1/4 VERY CLOSE TO IT, MANY WILL

264
00:07:15,201 --> 00:07:16,068
BE FACING LIMITED OPTIONS.

265
00:07:16,135 --> 00:07:17,436
ONE ESTIMATE IS THAT, IN THE

266
00:07:17,503 --> 00:07:18,004
YEAR AFTER THE RULING, THERE

267
00:07:18,070 --> 00:07:18,604
WILL BE ROUGHLY 75,000 PEOPLE

268
00:07:18,671 --> 00:07:19,138
WHO WANT, BUT CAN'T GET,

269
00:07:19,205 --> 00:07:19,906
ABORTIONS, AND WILL GIVE BIRTH

270
00:07:19,972 --> 00:07:20,940
INSTEAD.

271
00:07:21,007 --> 00:07:21,908
AND INEVITABLY, SOME OF THOSE

272
00:07:21,974 --> 00:07:22,708
PEOPLE WILL DIE, BECAUSE

273
00:07:22,775 --> 00:07:23,810
PREGNANCY IS A MAJOR MEDICAL

274
00:07:23,876 --> 00:07:24,610
EVENT.

275
00:07:24,677 --> 00:07:25,478
ALREADY, THOSE LIVING IN STATES

276
00:07:25,545 --> 00:07:26,412
WITH THE MOST RESTRICTIVE

277
00:07:26,479 --> 00:07:27,713
ABORTION POLICIES -- AND THUS

278
00:07:27,780 --> 00:07:28,648
THE LEAST ACCESS TO THEM -- WERE

279
00:07:28,714 --> 00:07:29,749
FOUND TO BE MORE LIKELY TO DIE

280
00:07:29,816 --> 00:07:30,383
WHILE PREGNANT OR SHORTLY

281
00:07:30,449 --> 00:07:32,018
THEREAFTER.

282
00:07:32,084 --> 00:07:33,019
LOOK, I KNOW THIS IS ALL

283
00:07:33,085 --> 00:07:34,754
EXTREMELY GRIM.

284
00:07:34,821 --> 00:07:37,857
BUT IT IS NOW WORTH TAKING A

285
00:07:37,924 --> 00:07:38,491
MOMENT ON EXACTLY HOW WE GOT TO

286
00:07:38,558 --> 00:07:39,826
THIS POINT, ESPECIALLY AS SOME

287
00:07:39,892 --> 00:07:41,160
HAVE BEEN TELLING A SLIGHTLY

288
00:07:41,227 --> 00:07:43,029
INCOMPLETE STORY THIS WEEK.

289
00:07:43,095 --> 00:07:44,497
JUST LISTEN TO CHUCK SCHUMER,

290
00:07:44,564 --> 00:07:45,531
POINTING THE FINGER OF BLAME

291
00:07:45,598 --> 00:07:47,266
FIRMLY IN ONE DIRECTION.

292
00:07:47,333 --> 00:07:49,168
>> THIS ISN'T YOUR GRANDFATHER'S

293
00:07:49,235 --> 00:07:50,903
REPUBLICAN PARTY, AMERICA.

294
00:07:50,970 --> 00:07:51,838
IT'S DONALD TRUMP'S REPUBLICAN

295
00:07:51,904 --> 00:07:53,005
PARTY.

296
00:07:53,072 --> 00:07:54,707
>> John: WELL, HOLD ON THERE.

297
00:07:54,774 --> 00:07:56,209
BECAUSE IN WHAT WAY IS THIS NOT

298
00:07:56,275 --> 00:07:56,809
YOUR GRANDFATHER'S REPUBLICAN

299
00:07:56,876 --> 00:07:58,744
PARTY?

300
00:07:58,811 --> 00:08:00,012
IT HAS BEEN ADVOCATING FOR

301
00:08:00,079 --> 00:08:01,113
THIS EXACT OUTCOME FOR DECADES

302
00:08:01,180 --> 00:08:03,049
NOW.

303
00:08:03,115 --> 00:08:04,417
IN FACT, I WOULD BE WILLING TO

304
00:08:04,483 --> 00:08:05,651
BET THAT IF YOUR GRANDFATHER

305
00:08:05,718 --> 00:08:06,752
DIED IN THE '70s, CAME BACK TO

306
00:08:06,819 --> 00:08:08,487
LIFE RIGHT NOW, AND SCANNED THE

307
00:08:08,554 --> 00:08:10,456
NEWS, THE FIRST THING HE'D SAY

308
00:08:10,523 --> 00:08:11,524
IS THAT THE CURRENT REPUBLICAN

309
00:08:11,591 --> 00:08:12,258
PARTY SOUNDS EXACTLY LIKE THE

310
00:08:12,325 --> 00:08:15,628
ONE HE REMEMBERS.

311
00:08:15,695 --> 00:08:16,863
[LAUGHTER]

312
00:08:16,929 --> 00:08:17,830
ACTUALLY, THE FIRST THING

313
00:08:17,897 --> 00:08:20,199
HE'D SAY IS, "WHO'S ELON MUSK?"

314
00:08:20,266 --> 00:08:20,867
[LAUGHTER]

315
00:08:20,933 --> 00:08:21,701
TO WHICH YOU'D SAY, "HE'S A RICH

316
00:08:21,767 --> 00:08:22,368
ASSHOLE WHO WANTS TO OWN

317
00:08:22,435 --> 00:08:23,069
TWITTER."

318
00:08:23,135 --> 00:08:25,104
TO WHICH HE'D SAY, "WHAT'S

319
00:08:25,171 --> 00:08:25,371
TWITTER?"

320
00:08:25,438 --> 00:08:26,305
AND YOU'D SAY, "IT'S BASICALLY A

321
00:08:26,372 --> 00:08:26,839
MASSIVE PUBLIC TOILET THAT

322
00:08:26,906 --> 00:08:28,374
PEOPLE SHIT THEIR BAD OPINIONS

323
00:08:28,441 --> 00:08:30,843
INTO ALL DAY LONG, BUT AT

324
00:08:30,910 --> 00:08:31,611
LEAST CHER IS ON THERE TOO!"

325
00:08:31,677 --> 00:08:32,445
TO WHICH HE'D REPLY, "YOU MEAN

326
00:08:32,511 --> 00:08:33,479
SONNY'S WIFE?"

327
00:08:33,546 --> 00:08:34,447
AND YOU'D SAY, "YEAH" BECAUSE

328
00:08:34,513 --> 00:08:35,748
YOU DON'T HAVE TIME TO FILL HIM

329
00:08:35,815 --> 00:08:36,682
IN ON THE DIVORCE, MUCH LESS THE

330
00:08:36,749 --> 00:08:37,817
ACCIDENT, TO WHICH HE'D SAY,

331
00:08:37,884 --> 00:08:39,218
"HOW'S SONNY DOING, BY THE WAY?"

332
00:08:39,285 --> 00:08:43,155
TO WHICH YOU'D SAY, "OH, HE'S

333
00:08:43,222 --> 00:08:44,056
GREAT, HE'S VERY HEALTHY!"

334
00:08:44,123 --> 00:08:45,758
TO WHICH HE'D REPLY, "DOES HE

335
00:08:45,825 --> 00:08:46,292
STILL HAVE THE MUSTACHE?"

336
00:08:46,359 --> 00:08:47,093
AND YOU'D SAY, "OH, YOU BETCHA!"

337
00:08:47,159 --> 00:08:47,960
BECAUSE AT THIS POINT, YOU'RE

338
00:08:48,027 --> 00:08:48,861
WAY TOO DEEP INTO THE LIE TO

339
00:08:48,928 --> 00:08:50,062
ADMIT TO YOUR RESURRECTED

340
00:08:50,129 --> 00:08:50,863
GRANDPA THAT SONNY BONO DIED BY

341
00:08:50,930 --> 00:08:54,567
SKIING INTO A TREE.

342
00:08:54,634 --> 00:08:55,501
BUT THEN, AFTER ALL THAT, HE'D

343
00:08:55,568 --> 00:08:56,402
DEFINITELY LOOK AT YOU AND SAY

344
00:08:56,469 --> 00:08:57,703
THAT THE CURRENT REPUBLICAN

345
00:08:57,770 --> 00:09:00,673
PARTY SOUNDS EXACTLY LIKE THE

346
00:09:00,740 --> 00:09:03,976
ONE THAT HE REMEMBERS.

347
00:09:04,043 --> 00:09:04,510
[LAUGHTER]

348
00:09:04,577 --> 00:09:05,811
BECAUSE IT DOES.

349
00:09:05,878 --> 00:09:06,412
THIS IS JUST NOT A RECENT

350
00:09:06,479 --> 00:09:07,380
DEVELOPMENT AT ALL.

351
00:09:07,446 --> 00:09:08,848
BECAUSE WHILE, YES, TRUMP DID

352
00:09:08,915 --> 00:09:09,815
PICK 1/3 OF THIS COURT,

353
00:09:09,882 --> 00:09:10,549
INCLUDING A SEAT FOR GORSUCH

354
00:09:10,616 --> 00:09:11,918
THAT WAS STOLEN FOR HIM, THAT

355
00:09:11,984 --> 00:09:13,152
WAS THE RESULT OF DECADES OF

356
00:09:13,219 --> 00:09:15,121
WORK BY ANTIABORTION FORCES.

357
00:09:15,187 --> 00:09:16,656
LONG BEFORE TRUMP EVER EVEN

358
00:09:16,722 --> 00:09:18,124
CONSIDERED RUNNING FOR OFFICE,

359
00:09:18,190 --> 00:09:19,425
CONSERVATIVES WERE OPENLY

360
00:09:19,492 --> 00:09:20,393
ANNOUNCING THEIR INTENTION TO

361
00:09:20,459 --> 00:09:22,862
OVERTURN ROE.

362
00:09:22,929 --> 00:09:24,263
IN FACT, THE VERY DAY THE ROE

363
00:09:24,330 --> 00:09:25,164
DECISION WAS HANDED DOWN, THE

364
00:09:25,231 --> 00:09:25,932
STRATEGIZING AGAINST IT HAD

365
00:09:25,998 --> 00:09:28,134
ALREADY BEGUN.

366
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:29,802
JUST WATCH THIS NEWS REPORT FROM

367
00:09:29,869 --> 00:09:30,736
THAT DAY, FEATURING A LAWYER

368
00:09:30,803 --> 00:09:32,438
TALKING ABOUT A LAWSUIT HE WAS

369
00:09:32,505 --> 00:09:33,306
SUPPORTING THAT COULD OVERTURN

370
00:09:33,372 --> 00:09:35,107
ROE.

371
00:09:35,174 --> 00:09:36,943
>> WHAT ABOUT THE CHILD'S RIGHT?

372
00:09:37,009 --> 00:09:37,610
YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT

373
00:09:37,677 --> 00:09:38,711
THE WOMAN'S RIGHT, YOU'RE

374
00:09:38,778 --> 00:09:39,712
TALKING ABOUT 1/3 OF THE

375
00:09:39,779 --> 00:09:41,814
RIGHTS INVOLVED.

376
00:09:41,881 --> 00:09:42,748
THE MOTHER, THE FATHER, AND

377
00:09:42,815 --> 00:09:44,483
THE CHILD.

378
00:09:44,550 --> 00:09:45,718
SOMEBODY'S MORALITY, OR LACK

379
00:09:45,785 --> 00:09:47,453
OF IT, IS CERTAINLY IMPOSED UPON

380
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:48,321
THE UNBORN CHILDREN WHO ARE

381
00:09:48,387 --> 00:09:49,755
KILLED.

382
00:09:49,822 --> 00:09:52,058
>> John: WOW.

383
00:09:52,124 --> 00:09:52,758
WOMEN HAVE 1/3 OF THE RIGHTS

384
00:09:52,825 --> 00:09:58,731
INVOLVED.

385
00:09:58,798 --> 00:09:59,365
HONESTLY, THAT IS KIND OF

386
00:09:59,432 --> 00:10:00,399
PERFECT.

387
00:10:00,466 --> 00:10:03,669
BECAUSE IF THERE'S ONE THING WE

388
00:10:03,736 --> 00:10:04,804
LOVE TO DO IN AMERICA, IT'S TURN

389
00:10:04,870 --> 00:10:05,638
EVERYONE WHO ISN'T A STRAIGHT

390
00:10:05,705 --> 00:10:06,372
WHITE MAN INTO A FUCKING

391
00:10:06,439 --> 00:10:09,208
FRACTION.

392
00:10:09,275 --> 00:10:10,476
THAT IS SOMETHING THAT TRULY IS

393
00:10:10,543 --> 00:10:11,110
"DEEPLY ROOTED IN THE NATION'S

394
00:10:11,177 --> 00:10:12,778
HISTORY AND TRADITIONS."

395
00:10:12,845 --> 00:10:13,646
BUT ARGUMENTS LIKE THAT ARE WHY

396
00:10:13,713 --> 00:10:14,513
SOME DEMOCRATS, LIKE

397
00:10:14,580 --> 00:10:15,648
REPRESENTATIVE BELLA ABZUG,

398
00:10:15,715 --> 00:10:16,449
ARGUED IN THE WAKE OF THE ROE

399
00:10:16,515 --> 00:10:17,516
DECISION THAT CONGRESS STILL

400
00:10:17,583 --> 00:10:18,184
NEEDED TO QUICKLY PASS

401
00:10:18,250 --> 00:10:19,085
LEGISLATION CODIFYING THE RIGHT

402
00:10:19,151 --> 00:10:20,152
TO AN ABORTION.

403
00:10:20,219 --> 00:10:21,020
AND SHE WAS ABSOLUTELY RIGHT.

404
00:10:21,087 --> 00:10:21,654
BUT, OF COURSE, THEY DIDN'T DO

405
00:10:21,721 --> 00:10:23,255
THAT.

406
00:10:23,322 --> 00:10:25,825
NOR DID THEY DO IT AS THE

407
00:10:25,891 --> 00:10:26,625
ANTIABORTION MOVEMENT KICKED

408
00:10:26,692 --> 00:10:27,927
INTO HIGH GEAR IN THE LATE

409
00:10:27,994 --> 00:10:28,527
1970s, WITH THE SUPPORT OF

410
00:10:28,594 --> 00:10:29,695
EVANGELICAL LEADERS LIKE

411
00:10:29,762 --> 00:10:31,430
JERRY FALWELL, WHO HELPED

412
00:10:31,497 --> 00:10:32,732
ELEVATE THE ABORTION ISSUE AS A

413
00:10:32,798 --> 00:10:33,833
WAY OF MOTIVATING CONSERVATIVE

414
00:10:33,899 --> 00:10:35,201
VOTERS TO THE POLLS.

415
00:10:35,267 --> 00:10:36,869
THEY DIDN'T EVEN DO IT AS

416
00:10:36,936 --> 00:10:40,906
ANTIABORTION LEGISLATORS MANAGED

417
00:10:40,973 --> 00:10:42,008
TO PASS A THOUSAND RESTRICTIONS

418
00:10:42,074 --> 00:10:44,010
INTO LAW AT THE STATE LEVEL.

419
00:10:44,076 --> 00:10:45,845
ALL THAT TIME, TOO MANY

420
00:10:45,911 --> 00:10:47,313
DEMOCRATIC LEADERS SHIED AWAY

421
00:10:47,380 --> 00:10:48,748
FROM ENGAGING IN THAT FIGHT, OR

422
00:10:48,814 --> 00:10:49,582
WERE SQUEAMISH IN THEIR DEFENSE

423
00:10:49,648 --> 00:10:51,083
OF ABORTION.

424
00:10:51,150 --> 00:10:53,252
BILL CLINTON, FOR INSTANCE,

425
00:10:53,319 --> 00:10:55,621
ARGUED THAT IT SHOULD BE "SAFE,

426
00:10:55,688 --> 00:10:57,256
LEGAL AND RARE," WHICH CAST

427
00:10:57,323 --> 00:10:58,491
ABORTION AS A REGRETTABLY

428
00:10:58,557 --> 00:10:59,558
NECESSARY EVIL, NOT A

429
00:10:59,625 --> 00:11:00,659
CORNERSTONE OF COMPREHENSIVE

430
00:11:00,726 --> 00:11:02,395
HEALTH CARE.

431
00:11:02,461 --> 00:11:03,562
AND WHILE LATER, BARACK OBAMA

432
00:11:03,629 --> 00:11:05,131
CAMPAIGNED ON PASSING

433
00:11:05,197 --> 00:11:06,665
THE FREEDOM OF CHOICE ACT,

434
00:11:06,732 --> 00:11:08,634
ENSHRINING THE RIGHT TO ABORTION

435
00:11:08,701 --> 00:11:10,369
INTO LAW, WHEN HE WAS REMINDED

436
00:11:10,436 --> 00:11:11,971
OF THAT PROMISE A HUNDRED DAYS

437
00:11:12,038 --> 00:11:13,205
INTO HIS PRESIDENCY, HE WASTED

438
00:11:13,272 --> 00:11:14,073
NO TIME DISTANCING HIMSELF FROM

439
00:11:14,140 --> 00:11:15,808
IT.

440
00:11:15,875 --> 00:11:17,243
>> THE FREEDOM OF CHOICE ACT IS

441
00:11:17,309 --> 00:11:18,077
NOT MY HIGHEST LEGISLATIVE

442
00:11:18,144 --> 00:11:21,781
PRIORITY.

443
00:11:21,847 --> 00:11:22,548
I BELIEVE THAT WOMEN SHOULD HAVE

444
00:11:22,615 --> 00:11:25,484
THE RIGHT TO CHOOSE.

445
00:11:25,551 --> 00:11:28,154
BUT I THINK THAT THE MOST

446
00:11:28,220 --> 00:11:30,523
IMPORTANT THING WE CAN DO

447
00:11:30,589 --> 00:11:37,296
TO TAMP DOWN SOME OF THE ANGER

448
00:11:37,363 --> 00:11:38,798
SURROUNDING THIS ISSUE IS TO

449
00:11:38,864 --> 00:11:39,632
FOCUS ON THOSE AREAS THAT WE CAN

450
00:11:39,698 --> 00:11:44,303
AGREE ON.

451
00:11:44,370 --> 00:11:46,205
>> John: OKAY, EXCEPT THAT'S

452
00:11:46,272 --> 00:11:46,906
JUST RIDICULOUS.

453
00:11:46,972 --> 00:11:48,207
PARTLY BECAUSE THIS IS SOMETHING

454
00:11:48,274 --> 00:11:49,075
A MAJORITY OF AMERICANS DO AGREE

455
00:11:49,141 --> 00:11:49,975
ON.

456
00:11:50,042 --> 00:11:51,110
POLLS CONSISTENTLY SHOW THAT

457
00:11:51,177 --> 00:11:51,811
AROUND 2/3 OF AMERICANS SUPPORT

458
00:11:51,877 --> 00:11:53,079
THE ROE V. WADE DECISION.

459
00:11:53,145 --> 00:11:55,181
2/3!

460
00:11:55,247 --> 00:11:56,582
PRESIDENTS CAN'T EVEN GET AN

461
00:11:56,649 --> 00:11:57,283
APPROVAL RATING THAT HIGH,

462
00:11:57,349 --> 00:11:57,917
UNLESS THERE ARE, LIKE, TWO

463
00:11:57,983 --> 00:12:01,554
9-11s.

464
00:12:01,620 --> 00:12:02,488
[LAUGHTER]

465
00:12:02,555 --> 00:12:06,559
IT'S CALLED AN 18-22, AND IF

466
00:12:06,625 --> 00:12:08,627
WE'RE HONEST, IT MIGHT ACTUALLY

467
00:12:08,694 --> 00:12:09,495
BE COMING.

468
00:12:09,562 --> 00:12:10,563
AND THAT'S SADLY BEEN EMBLEMATIC

469
00:12:10,629 --> 00:12:11,464
OF DEMOCRATS' APPROACH, OFFERING

470
00:12:11,530 --> 00:12:13,332
VAGUE STATEMENTS IN SUPPORT,

471
00:12:13,399 --> 00:12:13,933
WHILE ABORTION'S BEEN

472
00:12:13,999 --> 00:12:15,067
SPECIFICALLY UNDER ATTACK.

473
00:12:15,134 --> 00:12:16,168
AND ALL THE WHILE, REPUBLICANS

474
00:12:16,235 --> 00:12:16,902
HAVE FOCUSED ON THIS ISSUE WITH

475
00:12:16,969 --> 00:12:22,108
RELENTLESS DETERMINATION.

476
00:12:22,174 --> 00:12:22,675
HERE'S JERRY FALWELL, RIGHT

477
00:12:22,741 --> 00:12:24,009
AFTER ALITO WAS APPOINTED TO THE

478
00:12:24,076 --> 00:12:24,743
COURT, TAKING A VICTORY LAP

479
00:12:24,810 --> 00:12:25,344
FOLLOWING A RULING THAT UPHELD

480
00:12:25,411 --> 00:12:26,312
THE BAN ON A SPECIFIC ABORTION

481
00:12:26,378 --> 00:12:27,646
PROCEDURE.

482
00:12:27,713 --> 00:12:29,315
>> THAT IS THE CULMINATION, FOR

483
00:12:29,381 --> 00:12:30,883
ME, OF ABOUT 35 YEARS OF WORK.

484
00:12:30,950 --> 00:12:32,384
I DON'T THINK WE HAVE FIVE VOTES

485
00:12:32,451 --> 00:12:35,621
ON ROE V. WADE.

486
00:12:35,688 --> 00:12:36,255
I THINK WE ARE PROBABLY ONE OR

487
00:12:36,322 --> 00:12:38,057
TWO VOTES SHORT.

488
00:12:38,124 --> 00:12:40,259
>> AS WE TALKED THAT LAST WEEK

489
00:12:40,326 --> 00:12:41,861
OF HIS LIFE, FALWELL SEEMED TO

490
00:12:41,927 --> 00:12:44,263
RECOGNIZE THAT HIS BATTLE TO END

491
00:12:44,330 --> 00:12:45,531
ALL ABORTIONS WOULD HAVE TO BE

492
00:12:45,598 --> 00:12:46,665
WON BY THE NEXT GENERATION OF

493
00:12:46,732 --> 00:12:49,368
GOD'S WARRIORS.

494
00:12:49,435 --> 00:12:52,538
>> MY CHILDREN ARE MORE LIKELY

495
00:12:52,605 --> 00:12:53,439
TO SEE THIS VICTORY WON THAN I

496
00:12:53,506 --> 00:12:54,707
AM.

497
00:12:54,773 --> 00:12:57,576
I THINK WE'RE 50 YEARS AWAY.

498
00:12:57,643 --> 00:12:58,677
WE'VE GOT TO JUST STAY WITH IT,

499
00:12:58,744 --> 00:13:00,112
STAY WITH IT, STAY WITH IT AND

500
00:13:00,179 --> 00:13:02,915
NEVER GIVE UP.

501
00:13:02,982 --> 00:13:04,950
>> John: WOW, EVEN THE TRULY

502
00:13:05,017 --> 00:13:06,485
MAGNIFICENT SIGHT OF JERRY

503
00:13:06,552 --> 00:13:11,090
FALWELL IN A COFFIN SOMEHOW

504
00:13:11,157 --> 00:13:12,324
STILL DOESN'T MAKE THAT GO DOWN

505
00:13:12,391 --> 00:13:14,126
ANY EASIER.

506
00:13:14,193 --> 00:13:14,693
BECAUSE FALWELL WAS ACTUALLY

507
00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:15,327
PESSIMISTIC IN HIS PREDICTION

508
00:13:15,394 --> 00:13:16,095
THERE.

509
00:13:16,162 --> 00:13:17,730
THEY ACHIEVED THAT VICTORY

510
00:13:17,796 --> 00:13:18,330
35 YEARS AHEAD OF HIS 50-YEAR

511
00:13:18,397 --> 00:13:19,665
SCHEDULE.

512
00:13:19,732 --> 00:13:20,599
AND THAT'S ACTUALLY NOT THE ONLY

513
00:13:20,666 --> 00:13:22,368
THING HE WAS WRONG ABOUT IN THAT

514
00:13:22,434 --> 00:13:25,070
INTERVIEW, BECAUSE HE ALSO SAID

515
00:13:25,137 --> 00:13:26,272
HE'D BEEN PRAYING FOR ANOTHER

516
00:13:26,338 --> 00:13:26,906
20 YEARS OF LIFE, DESPITE ONLY

517
00:13:26,972 --> 00:13:28,307
HAVING ABOUT ONE WEEK OF IT

518
00:13:28,374 --> 00:13:29,375
LEFT.

519
00:13:29,441 --> 00:13:30,409
SO I GUESS AT THE VERY LEAST WE

520
00:13:30,476 --> 00:13:31,377
NOW KNOW GOD DIDN'T WANT TO

521
00:13:31,443 --> 00:13:35,181
LISTEN TO ANY MORE OF JERRY

522
00:13:35,247 --> 00:13:37,149
FALWELL'S BULLSHIT EITHER.

523
00:13:37,216 --> 00:13:38,284
AND IT'S IMPORTANT TO KNOW,

524
00:13:38,350 --> 00:13:38,884
CONSERVATIVES AREN'T REMOTELY

525
00:13:38,951 --> 00:13:39,652
DONE HERE.

526
00:13:39,718 --> 00:13:42,154
THEY'VE ALREADY EMBARKED ON THE

527
00:13:42,221 --> 00:13:43,155
NEXT FIGHT, WITH LOUISIANA

528
00:13:43,222 --> 00:13:44,323
JUST THIS WEEK ADVANCING

529
00:13:44,390 --> 00:13:46,825
LEGISLATION THAT WOULD ALLOW

530
00:13:46,892 --> 00:13:47,993
PROSECUTORS TO CHARGE THOSE WHO

531
00:13:48,060 --> 00:13:49,028
GET ABORTIONS, OR PROVIDE THEM,

532
00:13:49,094 --> 00:13:50,329
WITH HOMICIDE.

533
00:13:50,396 --> 00:13:51,964
THAT BILL, LIKE ANTIABORTION

534
00:13:52,031 --> 00:13:53,365
LEGISLATION IN SEVERAL OTHER

535
00:13:53,432 --> 00:13:54,733
STATES, EVEN DEFINES PERSONHOOD

536
00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:56,502
AS BEGINNING FROM THE MOMENT OF

537
00:13:56,569 --> 00:13:58,137
FERTILIZATION, WHICH WOULD

538
00:13:58,204 --> 00:14:00,105
ARGUABLY CRIMINALIZE IN VITRO

539
00:14:00,172 --> 00:14:00,739
FERTILIZATION AND FORMS OF BIRTH

540
00:14:00,806 --> 00:14:03,108
CONTROL.

541
00:14:03,175 --> 00:14:04,877
AND ALL THIS IS HAPPENING, EVEN

542
00:14:04,944 --> 00:14:05,844
AS OTHER COUNTRIES ARE EXPANDING

543
00:14:05,911 --> 00:14:08,113
REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS.

544
00:14:08,180 --> 00:14:09,348
EVEN IRELAND IS NOW MORE

545
00:14:09,415 --> 00:14:10,883
PROGRESSIVE ON ABORTION THAN

546
00:14:10,950 --> 00:14:12,618
SOME U.S. STATES.

547
00:14:12,685 --> 00:14:14,520
AND IF YOU'RE NOT UP ON YOUR

548
00:14:14,587 --> 00:14:15,487
IRISH HISTORY, THAT WAS NOT

549
00:14:15,554 --> 00:14:17,790
ALWAYS THE CASE!

550
00:14:17,856 --> 00:14:18,924
[LAUGHTER]

551
00:14:18,991 --> 00:14:20,559
AND THAT'S AS MUCH AS I'LL WEIGH

552
00:14:20,626 --> 00:14:21,594
IN ON IRISH HISTORY -- BECAUSE I

553
00:14:21,660 --> 00:14:24,296
SOUND LIKE THIS.

554
00:14:24,363 --> 00:14:25,598
[LAUGHTER]

555
00:14:25,664 --> 00:14:26,932
AND IT'S NOT JUST THEM.

556
00:14:26,999 --> 00:14:28,200
OTHER PREDOMINANTLY CATHOLIC

557
00:14:28,267 --> 00:14:29,535
COUNTRIES, LIKE ARGENTINA,

558
00:14:29,602 --> 00:14:30,502
MEXICO AND COLOMBIA HAVE ALSO

559
00:14:30,569 --> 00:14:31,136
SIGNIFICANTLY EXPANDED ABORTION

560
00:14:31,203 --> 00:14:33,005
RIGHTS.

561
00:14:33,072 --> 00:14:37,876
JUST TWO MONTHS AGO, COLOMBIA

562
00:14:37,943 --> 00:14:38,510
WON A MASSIVE COURT VICTORY, TO

563
00:14:38,577 --> 00:14:42,181
HUGE CELEBRATIONS.

564
00:14:42,248 --> 00:14:42,948
>> THIS IS HISTORIC.

565
00:14:43,015 --> 00:14:44,750
IT BRINGS US SUCH HAPPINESS.

566
00:14:44,817 --> 00:14:45,618
BECAUSE LITTLE BY LITTLE WE ARE

567
00:14:45,684 --> 00:14:47,953
CHANGING OUR HISTORY.

568
00:14:48,020 --> 00:14:49,688
WE FINALLY SUCCEEDED IN HAVING

569
00:14:49,755 --> 00:14:50,322
THEM ALLOW US TO DECIDE OVER OUR

570
00:14:50,389 --> 00:14:52,191
BODIES.

571
00:14:52,258 --> 00:14:54,493
WE FOUGHT FOR THIS FOR MANY

572
00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:56,262
YEARS, AND CLANDESTINE ABORTIONS

573
00:14:56,328 --> 00:15:00,766
TOOK THE LIVES OF SO MANY WOMEN.

574
00:15:00,833 --> 00:15:02,534
>> John: THAT IS TRULY

575
00:15:02,601 --> 00:15:03,769
INSPIRING, AND ALSO: QUICK SHOUT

576
00:15:03,836 --> 00:15:05,871
OUT TO THE INDIVIDUAL WHO MADE A

577
00:15:05,938 --> 00:15:06,438
CROCHETED SKI MASK WITH THE

578
00:15:06,505 --> 00:15:08,741
LETTERS "ACAB."

579
00:15:08,807 --> 00:15:09,675
[LAUGHTER]

580
00:15:09,742 --> 00:15:10,542
LET THIS BE A LESSON THAT YOU

581
00:15:10,609 --> 00:15:11,543
ABSOLUTELY DON'T WANT TO FUCK

582
00:15:11,610 --> 00:15:12,611
WITH SOMEONE WHO HAS THE

583
00:15:12,678 --> 00:15:14,246
PATIENCE, ATTENTION TO DETAIL,

584
00:15:14,313 --> 00:15:16,915
AND SUSTAINED ANGER TO CROTCHET

585
00:15:16,982 --> 00:15:17,750
THEIR RESENTMENT INTO A

586
00:15:17,816 --> 00:15:20,886
HAND-MADE GARMENT.

587
00:15:20,953 --> 00:15:23,055
THAT IS STAMINA.

588
00:15:23,122 --> 00:15:23,889
THAT IS SOMEONE IN THE FIGHT FOR

589
00:15:23,956 --> 00:15:26,525
THE LONG HAUL.

590
00:15:26,592 --> 00:15:27,826
[LAUGHTER]

591
00:15:27,893 --> 00:15:28,727
SO CLEARLY, WE IN THE STATES

592
00:15:28,794 --> 00:15:29,662
HAVE A LOT OF WORK TO DO RIGHT

593
00:15:29,728 --> 00:15:30,629
NOW, BOTH IN THE SHORT AND THE

594
00:15:30,696 --> 00:15:34,433
LONGTERM.

595
00:15:34,500 --> 00:15:35,434
AND LET ME START WITH THOSE IN

596
00:15:35,501 --> 00:15:36,468
THE MOST IMMEDIATE DANGER:

597
00:15:36,535 --> 00:15:44,443
PEOPLE WHO NEED AN ABORTION IN

598
00:15:44,510 --> 00:15:46,011
STATES WHERE BANDS ARE ABOUT TO

599
00:15:46,078 --> 00:15:46,345
BE IN EFFECT.

600
00:15:46,412 --> 00:15:46,979
YOU STILL HAVE OPTIONS AVAILABLE

601
00:15:47,046 --> 00:15:48,080
TO YOU, AND ONE GOOD WAY TO FIND

602
00:15:48,147 --> 00:15:48,914
OUT WHAT THEY ARE IS TO GO TO

603
00:15:48,981 --> 00:15:50,282
THE WEBSITE INeedAnA.com.

604
00:15:50,349 --> 00:15:50,883
IT HAS LOTS OF INFO, INCLUDING

605
00:15:50,949 --> 00:15:52,518
WHAT'S PERMITTED WHERE YOU LIVE,

606
00:15:52,584 --> 00:15:53,118
AND WHERE YOU CAN FIND CLINICS

607
00:15:53,185 --> 00:15:53,686
AND APPROPRIATE RESOURCES.

608
00:15:53,752 --> 00:15:54,453
AND IF YOU'RE STRUGGLING

609
00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:55,020
FINANCIALLY, ONE OF THOSE

610
00:15:55,087 --> 00:15:55,854
RESOURCES MIGHT BE AN ABORTION

611
00:15:55,921 --> 00:15:56,655
FUND, WHICH CAN HELP COVER YOUR

612
00:15:56,722 --> 00:15:57,389
EXPENSES.

613
00:15:57,456 --> 00:15:58,390
IF YOU WANT TO ACCESS OR SUPPORT

614
00:15:58,457 --> 00:15:59,425
THOSE FUNDS, THERE ARE LOTS OUT

615
00:15:59,491 --> 00:16:01,026
THERE, LIKE THE BRIGID ALLIANCE,

616
00:16:01,093 --> 00:16:01,760
WHICH HELPS ABORTION PATIENTS

617
00:16:01,827 --> 00:16:02,995
WHO ARE TRAVELING LONG DISTANCES

618
00:16:03,062 --> 00:16:04,797
TO REACH THEIR APPOINTMENTS, AND

619
00:16:04,863 --> 00:16:06,065
THE LILITH AND YELLOWHAMMER

620
00:16:06,131 --> 00:16:07,266
FUNDS, BOTH OF WHICH HELP WOMEN

621
00:16:07,333 --> 00:16:08,000
ON THE GROUND IN IMPACTED

622
00:16:08,067 --> 00:16:10,569
STATES.

623
00:16:10,636 --> 00:16:11,937
BUT THESE ARE CLEARLY JUST

624
00:16:12,004 --> 00:16:12,705
STOPGAP SOLUTIONS TO DEAL WITH

625
00:16:12,771 --> 00:16:15,240
AN IMMEDIATE CRISIS.

626
00:16:15,307 --> 00:16:16,809
LONGTERM, WE NEED ELECTED

627
00:16:16,875 --> 00:16:17,910
OFFICIALS TO STOP TIPTOEING

628
00:16:17,976 --> 00:16:18,977
AROUND THE ISSUE OF ABORTION AND

629
00:16:19,044 --> 00:16:19,611
TAKE STEPS TO PROPERLY SAFEGUARD

630
00:16:19,678 --> 00:16:25,017
IT.

631
00:16:25,084 --> 00:16:25,951
THE DREAM VERSION OF THIS WOULD

632
00:16:26,018 --> 00:16:26,819
BE A CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT

633
00:16:26,885 --> 00:16:28,120
THAT'D SUPPORT PEOPLE'S

634
00:16:28,187 --> 00:16:28,687
FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS TO MAKE

635
00:16:28,754 --> 00:16:29,855
PERSONAL DECISIONS ABOUT

636
00:16:29,922 --> 00:16:30,389
CONTRACEPTION, PREGNANCY,

637
00:16:30,456 --> 00:16:32,224
MARRIAGE, AND FAMILY LIFE.

638
00:16:32,291 --> 00:16:33,158
BUT UNTIL THEN, WE ARE GOING TO

639
00:16:33,225 --> 00:16:34,259
NEED OTHER LEGISLATION AT THE

640
00:16:34,326 --> 00:16:36,095
STATE AND FEDERAL LEVEL.

641
00:16:36,161 --> 00:16:37,262
AND WHILE WE'RE AT IT, WE MAY

642
00:16:37,329 --> 00:16:39,198
NOW ALSO NEED TO SHORE UP ALL

643
00:16:39,264 --> 00:16:40,499
THE OTHER RIGHTS SUPPOSEDLY

644
00:16:40,566 --> 00:16:41,700
GUARANTEED BY SUPREME COURT

645
00:16:41,767 --> 00:16:43,035
RULINGS -- FROM VOTING RIGHTS TO

646
00:16:43,102 --> 00:16:44,636
GAY MARRIAGE -- BECAUSE THE FACT

647
00:16:44,703 --> 00:16:46,138
IS, UNDER THE CURRENT SUPREME

648
00:16:46,205 --> 00:16:48,140
COURT, YOUR BASIC RIGHTS TODAY

649
00:16:48,207 --> 00:16:50,409
COULD BECOME CRIMES TOMORROW.

650
00:16:50,476 --> 00:16:52,010
AND THERE ARE ACTUALLY SOME

651
00:16:52,077 --> 00:16:56,148
SMALL OPPORTUNITIES ON THE

652
00:16:56,215 --> 00:16:57,716
HORIZON FOR YOU.

653
00:16:57,783 --> 00:16:59,017
IN AT LEAST THESE FOUR STATES,

654
00:16:59,084 --> 00:16:59,918
ABORTION IS GOING TO BE ON THE

655
00:16:59,985 --> 00:17:01,019
BALLOT THIS YEAR.

656
00:17:01,086 --> 00:17:02,154
AND I KNOW THAT YOU'D PROBABLY

657
00:17:02,221 --> 00:17:03,455
RATHER EAT SHARDS OF GLASS THAN

658
00:17:03,522 --> 00:17:05,457
BE TOLD TO VOTE ONE MORE TIME.

659
00:17:05,524 --> 00:17:06,291
ESPECIALLY IF YOU'VE BEEN

660
00:17:06,358 --> 00:17:08,260
KEEPING UP YOUR END OF THE DEAL:

661
00:17:08,327 --> 00:17:09,928
SHOWING UP TO THE POLLS, AND

662
00:17:09,995 --> 00:17:10,763
HOLDING YOUR NOSE TO VOTE FOR A

663
00:17:10,829 --> 00:17:12,531
CANDIDATE YOU MAY NOT EVEN LIKE,

664
00:17:12,598 --> 00:17:17,302
WHILE ENDURING THOUSANDS OF

665
00:17:17,369 --> 00:17:18,137
TEXTS SCREAMING, "IT IS THE MOST

666
00:17:18,203 --> 00:17:19,037
IMPORTANT ELECTION OF YOUR

667
00:17:19,104 --> 00:17:19,705
LIFETIME, DONATE $20 TO THE DNC

668
00:17:19,772 --> 00:17:20,472
RIGHT NOW."

669
00:17:20,539 --> 00:17:22,174
AND YOU DIDN'T TEXT

670
00:17:22,241 --> 00:17:25,511
"STOP 2 QUIT" ONCE, NO MATTER

671
00:17:25,577 --> 00:17:28,947
HOW MUCH YOU WANTED TO,

672
00:17:29,014 --> 00:17:30,783
AND HE WANTED TO THROW YOUR

673
00:17:30,849 --> 00:17:35,187
PHONE IN THE FUCKING RIVER.

674
00:17:35,254 --> 00:17:36,522
AND I ALSO GET WHY "JUST VOTE"

675
00:17:36,588 --> 00:17:37,222
IS AN INFURIATINGLY INSUFFICIENT

676
00:17:37,289 --> 00:17:37,823
SLOGAN, WHEN VOTING RIGHTS

677
00:17:37,890 --> 00:17:38,490
THEMSELVES ARE UNDER SIEGE.

678
00:17:38,557 --> 00:17:39,558
I CANNOT DEFEND THE SYSTEM WE

679
00:17:39,625 --> 00:17:40,092
CURRENTLY HAVE.

680
00:17:40,159 --> 00:17:41,093
BUT IT IS, UNFORTUNATELY, THE

681
00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:43,095
ONE WE'VE GOT RIGHT NOW.

682
00:17:43,162 --> 00:17:43,929
SO ELECTORAL VICTORIES ARE GOING

683
00:17:43,996 --> 00:17:46,432
TO BE CRITICAL HERE.

684
00:17:46,498 --> 00:17:47,733
BUT THEY ALSO MUST BE FOLLOWED

685
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:48,400
BY CONCRETE ACTIONS BY THOSE WE

686
00:17:48,467 --> 00:17:50,269
ELECT.

687
00:17:50,335 --> 00:17:52,304
BECAUSE REPUBLICANS, IF NOTHING

688
00:17:52,371 --> 00:17:54,406
ELSE, JUST GRIMLY DEMONSTRATED

689
00:17:54,473 --> 00:17:54,940
WHAT COMMITTED ACTION CAN

690
00:17:55,007 --> 00:18:01,313
ACTUALLY ACHIEVE.

691
00:18:01,380 --> 00:18:02,014
THEY NEVER ACCEPTED ROE V WADE

692
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:03,015
AS FINAL.

693
00:18:03,081 --> 00:18:03,615
THEY PLAYED THE LONG GAME, AND

694
00:18:03,682 --> 00:18:06,852
NOT ALWAYS FAIRLY.

695
00:18:06,919 --> 00:18:08,120
BUT THEY RALLIED THEIR BASE AND

696
00:18:08,187 --> 00:18:08,720
RELENTLESSLY HELD THEIR PARTY

697
00:18:08,787 --> 00:18:13,358
LEADERS ACCOUNTABLE, WHETHER

698
00:18:13,425 --> 00:18:14,426
THEY LIKED THOSE LEADERS OR NOT.

699
00:18:14,493 --> 00:18:15,327
AND THEN, CRUCIALLY, THOSE

700
00:18:15,394 --> 00:18:16,161
LEADERS DELIVERED FOR THEM --

701
00:18:16,228 --> 00:18:17,529
BECAUSE THEY UNDERSTOOD THAT

702
00:18:17,596 --> 00:18:18,363
VOTING IS ONLY MEANINGFUL IF THE

703
00:18:18,430 --> 00:18:20,999
PEOPLE WHO WIN ACTUALLY DO WHAT

704
00:18:21,066 --> 00:18:22,768
THEY FUCKING PROMISE YOU!

705
00:18:22,835 --> 00:18:23,836
ANTI-CHOICE ADVOCATES WORKED

706
00:18:23,902 --> 00:18:28,407
REALLY HARD, FOR A REALLY LONG

707
00:18:28,474 --> 00:18:29,274
TIME, TO ENSURE ROE WOULD NOT BE

708
00:18:29,341 --> 00:18:30,375
PERMANENT.

709
00:18:30,442 --> 00:18:31,109
BUT THE THING IS, ITS UNDOING

710
00:18:31,176 --> 00:18:32,110
DOESN'T HAVE TO BE, EITHER.

711
00:18:32,177 --> 00:18:32,811
THIS WEEK, WE'VE ALL BEEN

712
00:18:32,878 --> 00:18:33,712
REMINDED OF WHAT THE MOST

713
00:18:33,779 --> 00:18:34,480
MARGINALIZED PEOPLE IN THIS

714
00:18:34,546 --> 00:18:36,248
COUNTRY HAVE KNOWN FOR YEARS:

715
00:18:36,315 --> 00:18:37,616
THAT FREEDOMS ARE NEVER

716
00:18:37,683 --> 00:18:40,619
GUARANTEED -- THEY ARE HARD-WON

717
00:18:40,686 --> 00:18:42,488
AND THEY ARE EASILY LOST.

718
00:18:42,554 --> 00:18:43,755
PROGRESS REQUIRES A CONSISTENT,

719
00:18:43,822 --> 00:18:45,491
SUSTAINED STRUGGLE, A

720
00:18:45,557 --> 00:18:46,825
WILLINGNESS TO DISRUPT EVERYDAY

721
00:18:46,892 --> 00:18:52,698
LIFE, AND ACTUAL COURAGE FROM

722
00:18:52,764 --> 00:18:53,565
THE PEOPLE THAT WE CHOOSE TO

723
00:18:53,632 --> 00:18:57,536
LEAD US.

724
00:18:57,603 --> 00:18:59,538
IN SHORT, WE ALL BADLY NEED TO

725
00:18:59,605 --> 00:19:00,572
HAVE THE SAME ANGER AND THE SAME

726
00:19:00,639 --> 00:19:01,273
WILLINGNESS FOR A LONG-HAUL

727
00:19:01,340 --> 00:19:02,007
FIGHT AS THE WORLD'S MOST

728
00:19:02,074 --> 00:19:02,641
HARDCORE KNITTER.

729
00:19:02,708 --> 00:19:08,647
AND NOW THIS.

730
00:19:08,714 --> 00:19:12,117
>> AND NOW, LOCAL NEWS SHOWS GO

731
00:19:12,184 --> 00:19:12,751
THROUGH THE MOTIONS FOR

732
00:19:12,818 --> 00:19:14,686
"STAR WARS" DAY.

733
00:19:14,753 --> 00:19:19,758
>> WEDNESDAY, SAY IT WITH ME.

734
00:19:19,825 --> 00:19:22,461
DID YOU?

735
00:19:22,528 --> 00:19:22,694
>> OKAY.

736
00:19:22,761 --> 00:19:25,797
>> NOW SAY IT WITH ME.

737
00:19:25,864 --> 00:19:29,535
MAY THE 4th BE WITH YOU.

738
00:19:29,601 --> 00:19:31,603
>> TODAY IS A CELEBRATION FOR

739
00:19:31,670 --> 00:19:32,771
ALL THE "STAR WARS" FANS.

740
00:19:32,838 --> 00:19:39,545
IT IS MAY THE FOURTH.

741
00:19:39,611 --> 00:19:40,212
WE KNOW HOW MUCH YOU LOVE TODAY.

742
00:19:40,279 --> 00:19:40,779
TO SPEAK LOOK FORWARD TO IT.

743
00:19:40,846 --> 00:19:42,381
>> I DON'T LIKE HOW THEY TOOK

744
00:19:42,447 --> 00:19:44,616
THIS DAY,

745
00:19:44,683 --> 00:19:47,419
MAY THE 4th BE WITH YOU.

796
00:21:18,443 --> 00:21:19,711
CATHOLIC, TO CALL THE POPE

AND WHILE DUTERTE'S LANGUAGE MAY

807
00:21:38,697 --> 00:21:39,364
BE SHOCKING, HIS ACTIONS HAVE

808
00:21:39,431 --> 00:21:40,365
BEEN FAR WORSE, ESPECIALLY HIS

809
00:21:40,432 --> 00:21:41,033
WAR ON DRUGS.

810
00:21:41,099 --> 00:21:42,067

30,000 PEOPLE, IN VIOLENCE

00:24:47,485 --> 00:24:48,286
DOLLARS FROM THE PHILIPPINES, TO

932
00:24:48,353 --> 00:24:49,788
THE POINT IT WAS ONCE RECOGNIZED

933
00:24:49,855 --> 00:24:50,989
BY THE GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS AS

934
00:24:51,056 --> 00:24:51,523
THE "GREATEST ROBBERY OF A

935
00:24:51,590 --> 00:24:53,892
GOVERNMENT."

936
00:24:53,959 --> 00:24:55,327
AND IT'S A BIT WEIRD FOR THEM TO

937
00:24:55,393 --> 00:24:56,127
BE HANDING OUT RECORDS FOR SUCH

938
00:24:56,194 --> 00:24:57,295
A TERRIBLE THING.

939
00:24:57,362 --> 00:24:59,097
IT'S LIKE GIVING LEE HARVEY

940
00:24:59,164 --> 00:24:59,798
OSWALD AN AWARD FOR "MOST JFKs

941
00:24:59,865 --> 00:25:02,500
SHOT."

942
00:25:02,567 --> 00:25:03,735
[LAUGHTER]

943
00:25:03,802 --> 00:25:05,437
BUT THE ENORMITY OF THE MARCOS

944
00:25:05,503 --> 00:25:06,304
FAMILY'S THEFT MAKES HOW

945
00:25:06,371 --> 00:25:07,739
BONGBONG HAS DESCRIBED HIS

946
00:25:07,806 --> 00:25:10,942
CHILDHOOD ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL

947
00:25:11,009 --> 00:25:11,843
THIS YEAR A LITTLE HARD TO

948
00:25:11,910 --> 00:25:13,245
SWALLOW.

949
00:25:13,311 --> 00:25:15,914
>> MY PARENTS WOULD NEVER LET

950
00:25:15,981 --> 00:25:17,482
US FORGET THAT THIS IS NOT --

951
00:25:17,549 --> 00:25:18,516
THIS IS NOT YOURS, THIS IS FROM

952
00:25:18,583 --> 00:25:20,452
THE PEOPLE.

953
00:25:20,518 --> 00:25:21,887
EVERYTHING WE HAVE, ALL THE

954
00:25:21,953 --> 00:25:24,055
ADVANTAGES THAT WE HAVE GAINED,

955
00:25:24,122 --> 00:25:26,324
ANY SUCCESSES WE HAVE ACHIEVED,

956
00:25:26,391 --> 00:25:28,927
AND ANY COMFORT OR PRIVILEGE WE

957
00:25:28,994 --> 00:25:35,967
ENJOY COMES FROM THE PEOPLE.

958
00:25:36,034 --> 00:25:38,937
>> John: I'LL SAY THIS: THAT IS

959
00:25:39,004 --> 00:25:40,338
NOT TECHNICALLY INACCURATE.

960
00:25:40,405 --> 00:25:41,306
THE MARCOSES ARE SORT OF THE

961
00:25:41,373 --> 00:25:42,107
BRITISH MUSEUM OF FAMILIES, IN

962
00:25:42,173 --> 00:25:42,741
THAT MOST OF WHAT THEY HAVE IS

963
00:25:42,807 --> 00:25:45,310
FUCKING STOLEN.

964
00:25:45,377 --> 00:25:46,311
[LAUGHTER]

965
00:25:46,378 --> 00:25:47,479
SO IF YOU'RE WONDERING HOW ON

966
00:25:47,545 --> 00:25:48,346
EARTH IT'S POSSIBLE FOR THE

967
00:25:48,413 --> 00:25:49,714
SON OF THE PHILIPPINES' MOST

968
00:25:49,781 --> 00:25:50,515
NOTORIOUS LEADER TO NOW BE ON

969
00:25:50,582 --> 00:25:51,383
THE BRINK OF RUNNING THE

970
00:25:51,449 --> 00:25:52,150
COUNTRY, THAT'S WHAT THIS STORY

971
00:25:52,217 --> 00:25:53,084
IS ABOUT.

972
00:25:53,151 --> 00:25:54,119
AND BEFORE WE START, LET'S

973
00:25:54,185 --> 00:25:54,719
ACKNOWLEDGE THERE IS A LOT OF

974
00:25:54,786 --> 00:25:55,553
HISTORY BETWEEN THE U.S. AND THE

975
00:25:55,620 --> 00:25:57,222
PHILIPPINES, AND NONE OF IT

976
00:25:57,289 --> 00:25:57,822
REFLECTS PARTICULARLY WELL ON

977
00:25:57,889 --> 00:25:59,925
US.

978
00:25:59,991 --> 00:26:01,293
TO GIVE A QUICK RUNDOWN, FIRST

979
00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:03,194
THE U.S. BOUGHT THE PHILIPPINES

980
00:26:03,261 --> 00:26:04,362
IN 1898, THEN UTTERLY BRUTALIZED

981
00:26:04,429 --> 00:26:05,397
THEM IN THEIR FIGHT FOR

982
00:26:05,463 --> 00:26:07,032
INDEPENDENCE IN THE

983
00:26:07,098 --> 00:26:08,833
PHILIPPINE-AMERICAN WAR --

984
00:26:08,900 --> 00:26:10,302
WHICH RESULTED IN 200,000

985
00:26:10,368 --> 00:26:12,137
CASUALTIES -- THEN SUBJECTED

986
00:26:12,203 --> 00:26:13,405
THEM TO 50 YEARS OF REPRESSIVE

987
00:26:13,471 --> 00:26:15,073
AND RACIST COLONIAL RULE, AND

988
00:26:15,140 --> 00:26:16,341
THEN, EVEN AFTER GRANTING THEM

989
00:26:16,408 --> 00:26:18,410
THEIR INDEPENDENCE IN 1946,

990
00:26:18,476 --> 00:26:19,577
CONTINUED TO USE THE CIA TO

991
00:26:19,644 --> 00:26:21,579
MEDDLE IN THEIR AFFAIRS.

992
00:26:21,646 --> 00:26:22,948
ALL IN ALL, IT WAS AN ATTITUDE

993
00:26:23,014 --> 00:26:28,219
OF UNCHECKED IMPERIALISM THAT

994
00:26:28,286 --> 00:26:29,120
WAS -- AND I DO NOT SAY THIS

995
00:26:29,187 --> 00:26:31,856
LIGHTLY -- BORDERLINE BRITISH.

996
00:26:31,923 --> 00:26:35,694
[LAUGHTER]

997
00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:37,929
BUT THE STORY -- THAT HURT,

998
00:26:37,996 --> 00:26:39,397
DIDN'T IT?

999
00:26:39,464 --> 00:26:41,132
AND IT SHOULD HAVE DONE!

1000
00:26:41,199 --> 00:26:42,334
BUT THE STORY OF THE MARCOS

1001
00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:42,968
DYNASTY REALLY BEGINS IN 1965,

1002
00:26:43,034 --> 00:26:43,902
WHEN FERDINAND MARCOS WAS

1003
00:26:43,969 --> 00:26:45,070
ELECTED.

1004
00:26:45,136 --> 00:26:46,004
AND WHILE INITIALLY PRESENTING

1005
00:26:46,071 --> 00:26:46,604
HIMSELF AS A REFORMER, BY HIS

1006
00:26:46,671 --> 00:26:48,006
SECOND TERM, FACING DISSENT, HE

1007
00:26:48,073 --> 00:26:48,606
CRACKED DOWN HARD, INVENTING

1008
00:26:48,673 --> 00:26:49,341
OR EXAGGERATING INTERNAL THREATS

1009
00:26:49,407 --> 00:26:56,514
TO JUSTIFY IMPOSING MARTIAL LAW.

1010
00:26:56,581 --> 00:27:03,188
AND THAT WAS A PERIOD WHICH WAS,

1011
00:27:03,254 --> 00:27:03,855
TO PUT IT VERY, VERY

1012
00:27:03,922 --> 00:27:04,556
MILDLY, A BAD TIME TO BE IN THE

1013
00:27:04,622 --> 00:27:05,590
PHILIPPINES.

1014
00:27:05,657 --> 00:27:06,491
UNDER MARTIAL LAW, SOME

1015
00:27:06,558 --> 00:27:07,859
30,000 PEOPLE WERE TORTURED,

1016
00:27:07,926 --> 00:27:08,760
AND THOUSANDS MORE WERE KILLED.

1017
00:27:08,827 --> 00:27:09,394
AND ALL THE WHILE, THE MARCOSES

1018
00:27:09,461 --> 00:27:10,028
WERE SIPHONING OFF MONEY ON AN

1019
00:27:10,095 --> 00:27:10,962
ASTONISHING SCALE, WITH IMELDA

1020
00:27:11,029 --> 00:27:11,997
PARTICULARLY ADEPT AT SPENDING

1021
00:27:12,063 --> 00:27:12,931
IT.

1022
00:27:12,998 --> 00:27:14,132
>> IMELDA, KNOWN AS "THE IRON

1023
00:27:14,199 --> 00:27:15,066
BUTTERFLY," WOULD BECOME A

1024
00:27:15,133 --> 00:27:17,235
NOTORIOUS JET-SETTING SOCIALITE

1025
00:27:17,302 --> 00:27:18,370
AND FASHION ICON, AMASSING

1026
00:27:18,436 --> 00:27:20,305
HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS IN JEWELS,

1027
00:27:20,372 --> 00:27:23,441
FINE ART, REAL ESTATE.

1028
00:27:23,508 --> 00:27:25,443
HER TRAVELS SO LUXURIOUS, SHE

1029
00:27:25,510 --> 00:27:27,379
ONCE REPORTEDLY SPENT $2,000 ON

1030
00:27:27,445 --> 00:27:28,780
CHEWING GUM DURING A LAYOVER

1031
00:27:28,847 --> 00:27:30,949
IN SAN FRANCISCO.

1032
00:27:31,016 --> 00:27:33,418
SHE EVEN FORCED AN AIRPLANE

1033
00:27:33,485 --> 00:27:34,719
DEPARTING ROME TO MAKE A U-TURN

1034
00:27:34,786 --> 00:27:35,720
BECAUSE SHE FORGOT TO BUY

1035
00:27:35,787 --> 00:27:41,159
CHEESE.

1036
00:27:41,226 --> 00:27:41,426
[LAUGHTER]

1037
00:27:41,493 --> 00:27:45,130
>> John: HOLD ON, I DO HAVE

1038
00:27:45,196 --> 00:27:46,364
SOME QUESTIONS THERE.

1039
00:27:46,431 --> 00:27:47,132
FIRST, WHAT DO YOU MEAN "FORCED

1040
00:27:47,198 --> 00:27:51,302
AN AIRPLANE"?

1041
00:27:51,369 --> 00:27:52,637
DID IMELDA STORM THE COCKPIT?

1042
00:27:52,704 --> 00:27:53,438
DID A PILOT SAY A SOFT PRAYER TO

1043
00:27:53,505 --> 00:27:54,239
SEE HIS CHILDREN AGAIN ALL

1044
00:27:54,305 --> 00:27:54,906
BECAUSE IMELDA MARCOS HAD A

1045
00:27:54,973 --> 00:27:55,974
HANKERING FOR PECORINO?

1046
00:27:56,041 --> 00:27:56,841
ALSO, IF YOU FORGET TO BUY

1047
00:27:56,908 --> 00:27:57,742
CHEESE IN ITALY, YOU'RE OKAY!

1048
00:27:57,809 --> 00:27:58,443
FILIPINO CUISINE IS PERFECTLY

1049
00:27:58,510 --> 00:28:00,011
DELICIOUS WITHOUT IT.

1050
00:28:00,078 --> 00:28:01,046
ANYONE WHO'S EATEN A SINGLE

1051
00:28:01,112 --> 00:28:02,080
PLATE OF ADOBO KNOWS THAT

1052
00:28:02,147 --> 00:28:03,348
THERE'S NO NEED TO INTRODUCE

1053
00:28:03,415 --> 00:28:06,351
AGED COW JIZZ INTO THE EQUATION.

1054
00:28:06,418 --> 00:28:07,485
[LAUGHTER]

1055
00:28:07,552 --> 00:28:08,420
BUT AS THE MARCOSES PLUNDERED

1056
00:28:08,486 --> 00:28:09,754
AND MISMANAGED THE COUNTRY, THE

1057
00:28:09,821 --> 00:28:10,922
AVERAGE FILIPINO SUFFERED BADLY.

1058
00:28:10,989 --> 00:28:13,191
THE ECONOMY WAS IN CRISIS AND

1059
00:28:13,258 --> 00:28:15,160
THE INCOMES OF WAGE LABORERS

1060
00:28:15,226 --> 00:28:16,761
DECLINED SUBSTANTIALLY, TO THE

1061
00:28:16,828 --> 00:28:17,862
POINT THAT, BY THE END OF

1062
00:28:17,929 --> 00:28:18,897
FERDINAND'S TIME IN OFFICE, MANY

1063
00:28:18,963 --> 00:28:20,265
FILIPINOS WERE SURVIVING ON

1064
00:28:20,331 --> 00:28:22,801
LESS THAN $2 A DAY.

1065
00:28:22,867 --> 00:28:25,070
AND WHILE, AGAIN, BONGBONG ISN'T

1066
00:28:25,136 --> 00:28:26,271
INNATELY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE

1067
00:28:26,337 --> 00:28:27,772
ACTIONS OF HIS FATHER, HE VERY

1068
00:28:27,839 --> 00:28:28,540
MUCH BENEFITED FROM THAT

1069
00:28:28,606 --> 00:28:31,843
SPENDING SPREE.

1070
00:28:31,910 --> 00:28:33,211
THE MARCOSES LAVISHED MONEY ON

1071
00:28:33,278 --> 00:28:33,978
THEIR CHILDREN, INCLUDING THIS

1072
00:28:34,045 --> 00:28:34,479
BIRTHDAY PARTY FOR THEIR

1073
00:28:34,546 --> 00:28:41,419
DAUGHTER.

1074
00:28:41,486 --> 00:28:42,454
>> EXTRAVAGANT PARTIES ON THE

1075
00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:43,354
PRESIDENTIAL YACHT, DECADENT BY

1076
00:28:43,421 --> 00:28:43,955
THE STANDARDS OF THIS CATHOLIC

1077
00:28:44,022 --> 00:28:45,890
NATION.

1078
00:28:45,957 --> 00:28:47,325
FERDINAND JR., NICKNAMED

1079
00:28:47,392 --> 00:28:49,027
"BONGBONG," GOVERNOR OF THE

1080
00:28:49,094 --> 00:28:50,261
FAMILY'S HOME PROVINCE, IS THE

1081
00:28:50,328 --> 00:28:55,166
MAN IN THE FLASHING BOW TIE.

1082
00:28:55,233 --> 00:28:58,236
>> John: WHAT DID I JUST WATCH

1083
00:28:58,303 --> 00:28:58,436
THERE?

1084
00:28:58,503 --> 00:29:01,973
I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S

1085
00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:02,607
MORE UNSETTLING ABOUT THAT, THE

1086
00:29:02,674 --> 00:29:03,541
ADULT BABY EMERGING FROM A CAKE

1087
00:29:03,608 --> 00:29:04,609
SCREAMING "MOMMY," OR THE FACT

1088
00:29:04,676 --> 00:29:05,276
THAT WHILE BONGBONG LOOKS VERY

1089
00:29:05,343 --> 00:29:06,177
YOUNG THERE, HE WAS ACTUALLY A

1090
00:29:06,244 --> 00:29:06,945
GOVERNOR THEN.

1091
00:29:07,011 --> 00:29:07,579
AND HONESTLY, I WOULDN'T TRUST A

1092
00:29:07,645 --> 00:29:08,246
MAN WEARING THAT BOWTIE TO RUN

1093
00:29:08,313 --> 00:29:09,481
ANYTHING.

1094
00:29:09,547 --> 00:29:10,482
I WOULDN'T EVEN TRUST HIM WITH

1095
00:29:10,548 --> 00:29:11,216
THE JOB HE'S DRESSED FOR THERE:

1096
00:29:11,282 --> 00:29:11,983
BRINGING OUT THE BIRTHDAY CAKE

1097
00:29:12,050 --> 00:29:14,319
AT AN OLIVE GARDEN.

1098
00:29:14,385 --> 00:29:15,553
[LAUGHTER]

1099
00:29:15,620 --> 00:29:16,654
NOW, THE MARCOSES WERE

1100
00:29:16,721 --> 00:29:17,889
ULTIMATELY FORCED TO FLEE THE

1101
00:29:17,956 --> 00:29:18,523
COUNTRY AFTER A MASS UPRISING IN

1102
00:29:18,590 --> 00:29:19,757
1986.

1103
00:29:19,824 --> 00:29:23,328
BUT FERDINAND HELD ON TO THE

1104
00:29:23,394 --> 00:29:24,462
BILLIONS THAT HE STOLE.

1105
00:29:24,529 --> 00:29:27,398
THE FAMILY WERE

1106
00:29:27,465 --> 00:29:28,299
GRANTED ASYLUM IN HAWAII, AND

1107
00:29:28,366 --> 00:29:29,334
TOOK A LOT WITH THEM ON THE

1108
00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:37,008
PLANE, SHOWING UP WITH

1109
00:29:37,075 --> 00:29:38,143
$7 MILLION IN CASH

1110
00:29:38,209 --> 00:29:39,010
AND GEMS, AND TWENTY-FOUR BARS

1111
00:29:39,077 --> 00:29:48,486
OF SOLID GOLD ENGRAVED "TO MY

1112
00:29:48,553 --> 00:29:49,587
HUSBAND ON OUR 24th

00:29:49,654 --> 00:29:50,321
ANNIVERSARY."

1114
00:29:50,388 --> 00:29:51,089
WHICH ISN'T REMOTELY ROMANTIC.

1115
00:29:51,156 --> 00:29:52,824
THAT ANNIVERSARY PRESENT IS THE

1116
00:29:52,891 --> 00:29:53,825
PILFERING BILLIONAIRE EQUIVALENT

1117
00:29:53,892 --> 00:29:55,026
OF HANDING YOUR SPOUSE AN

1118
00:29:55,093 --> 00:29:55,627
ENVELOPE FULL OF CASH WITH "WE

1119
00:29:55,693 --> 00:29:56,261
HAVE BEEN MARRIED FOR 24 YEARS

1120
00:29:56,327 --> 00:29:58,296
AS OF TODAY."

1121
00:29:58,363 --> 00:29:58,930
BUT OBVIOUSLY, THEY HAD TO LEAVE

1122
00:29:58,997 --> 00:29:59,597
SOME THINGS BEHIND, AND FOR MANY

1123
00:29:59,664 --> 00:30:00,532
IN THE PHILIPPINES, IT WAS A

1124
00:30:00,598 --> 00:30:01,166
REAL SHOCK TO SEE THE SHEER

1125
00:30:01,232 --> 00:30:02,000
EXTENT TO WHICH THEY'D BEEN

1126
00:30:02,066 --> 00:30:05,837
ROBBED.

1127
00:30:05,904 --> 00:30:08,706
>> FILIPINOS WHO USED TO BE

1128
00:30:08,773 --> 00:30:10,875
BLOCKS GOT AN UNEXPECTED

1129
00:30:10,942 --> 00:30:13,144
KALEIDOSCOPE OF UNIMAGINABLE

1130
00:30:13,211 --> 00:30:13,378
LUXURY.

1131
00:30:13,444 --> 00:30:14,212
>> WOW.

1132
00:30:14,279 --> 00:30:15,146
>> INCLUDING THE FORMER FIRST

1133
00:30:15,213 --> 00:30:15,914
LADY'S 10-FOOT-WIDE BED.

1134
00:30:15,980 --> 00:30:16,748
>> THAT'S WHY A LOT OF PEOPLE

1135
00:30:16,814 --> 00:30:17,782
HERE IN THE PHILIPPINES ARE

1136
00:30:17,849 --> 00:30:18,183
STARVING.

1137
00:30:18,249 --> 00:30:18,983
>> AS FAR AS RAY IS CONCERNED,

1138
00:30:19,050 --> 00:30:21,819
THE MARCOSES BELONG IN JAIL.

1139
00:30:21,886 --> 00:30:22,620
>> HE CAN COME BACK

1140
00:30:22,687 --> 00:30:23,821
HERE IN THE PHILIPPINES TO FACE

1141
00:30:23,888 --> 00:30:24,389
WHAT HE DO THE PEOPLE OF THE

1142
00:30:24,455 --> 00:30:28,026
PHILIPPINES.

1143
00:30:28,092 --> 00:30:30,762
>> John: YEAH, IT'S FUNNY.

1144
00:30:30,828 --> 00:30:33,164
SEEING THE WEALTH OF THE RULERS

1145
00:30:33,231 --> 00:30:34,532
WHO RIPPED YOU OFF DOES TEND TO

1146
00:30:34,599 --> 00:30:36,100
PUT THINGS INTO PERSPECTIVE.

1147
00:30:36,167 --> 00:30:37,068
IT'S LIKE HOW AFTER

1148
00:30:37,135 --> 00:30:37,835
FRENCH WORKERS LEARNED OF THE

1149
00:30:37,902 --> 00:30:40,905
MAJESTY OF VERSAILLES IN

1150
00:30:40,972 --> 00:30:42,507
THE 18th CENTURY, THE REVOLUTION

1151
00:30:42,574 --> 00:30:45,877
WAS RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER.

1152
00:30:45,944 --> 00:30:46,511
"HOLD ON, THEY HAVE FOUR GOLD

1153
00:30:46,578 --> 00:30:47,212
PLATED PIPE ORGANS?

1154
00:30:47,278 --> 00:30:48,046
YEAH, THESE MOTHERFUCKERS ARE

1155
00:30:48,112 --> 00:30:49,948
GONNA HAVE TO GO."

1156
00:30:50,014 --> 00:30:50,782
[LAUGHTER]

1157
00:30:50,848 --> 00:30:51,883
NOW, IN THE END, A GOVERNMENT

1158
00:30:51,950 --> 00:30:52,684
COMMISSION WAS SET UP TO TRACK

1159
00:30:52,750 --> 00:30:56,688
DOWN AND RECOVER THE STOLEN

1160
00:30:56,754 --> 00:30:57,455
36

1161
00:30:57,522 --> 00:30:58,556
YEARS LATER, THANKS TO COURT

1162
00:30:58,623 --> 00:30:59,190
DELAYS AND THE MARCOSES FIGHTING

1163
00:30:59,257 --> 00:31:00,725
THEM THE WHOLE WAY, THEY

1164
00:31:00,792 --> 00:31:01,326
HAVE ONLY RETRIEVED ABOUT FIVE

1165
00:31:01,392 --> 00:31:02,160
BILLION, OR AROUND HALF OF WHAT

1166
00:31:02,227 --> 00:31:02,794
WAS ESTIMATED STOLEN.

1167
00:31:02,860 --> 00:31:03,795
THIS IS SOMETHING THAT

1168
00:31:03,861 --> 00:31:04,762
BONGBONG WAS ACTUALLY DIRECTLY

1169
00:31:04,829 --> 00:31:05,830
ASKED ABOUT WHEN HE RAN FOR VICE

1170
00:31:05,897 --> 00:31:06,764
PRESIDENT SIX YEARS AGO, AND HIS

1171
00:31:06,831 --> 00:31:07,365
RESPONSE BACK THEN WAS PRETTY

1172
00:31:07,432 --> 00:31:13,638
INFURIATING.

1173
00:31:13,705 --> 00:31:28,386
[APPLAUSE]

1174
00:31:28,453 --> 00:31:31,489
>> I CANNOT GIVE WHAT I DO

1175
00:31:31,556 --> 00:31:33,024
NOT HAVE.

1176
00:31:33,091 --> 00:31:35,326
I DO NOT HAVE WHAT YOU ARE --

1177
00:31:35,393 --> 00:31:37,061
I DO NOT HAVE CONTROL.

1178
00:31:37,128 --> 00:31:38,129
I DO NOT HAVE ANY KNOWLEDGE OF

1179
00:31:38,196 --> 00:31:39,964
ANY OF THE THINGS.

1180
00:31:40,031 --> 00:31:41,966
ONCE AGAIN, LET ME REPEAT, I

1181
00:31:42,033 --> 00:31:48,039
CANNOT GIVE WHAT I DO NOT HAVE.

1182
00:31:48,106 --> 00:31:49,073
>> John: YEAH, NOT GREAT.

1183
00:31:49,140 --> 00:31:49,574
BUT ALSO, CREDIT TO THE

1184
00:31:49,641 --> 00:31:50,408
SIGN LANGUAGE INTERPRETER THERE,

1185
00:31:50,475 --> 00:31:51,309
WHO MANAGED TO GET ACROSS NOT

1186
00:31:51,376 --> 00:31:54,245
JUST WHAT HE WAS SAYING, BUT

1187
00:31:54,312 --> 00:31:56,614
ALSO COMMUNICATE HIS WHOLE "BIG

1188
00:31:56,681 --> 00:31:57,782
ANGRY CRYBABY" VIBE.

1189
00:31:57,849 --> 00:31:58,850
I'M JUST SAYING, IT IS PRETTY

1190
00:31:58,916 --> 00:31:59,751
IMPRESSIVE THAT BONGBONG'S

1191
00:31:59,817 --> 00:32:01,019
SOMEHOW THE BIGGEST BABY IN A

1192
00:32:01,085 --> 00:32:03,221
PIECE THAT ALSO CONTAINS THIS

1193
00:32:03,288 --> 00:32:06,057
FUCKING GUY.

1194
00:32:06,124 --> 00:32:08,026
[LAUGHTER]

1195
00:32:08,092 --> 00:32:08,926
AND YET, DESPITE BEING BOOED

1196
00:32:08,993 --> 00:32:09,594
FOR THAT RESPONSE, BONGBONG IS

1197
00:32:09,661 --> 00:32:10,228
NOW ON THE EDGE OF BEING ELECTED

1198
00:32:10,295 --> 00:32:10,862
PRESIDENT.

1199
00:32:10,928 --> 00:32:12,030
AND THAT'S BECAUSE, OVER THE

1200
00:32:12,096 --> 00:32:12,630
PAST DECADE, SOMETHING KIND OF

1201
00:32:12,697 --> 00:32:14,399
REMARKABLE HAS HAPPENED IN THE

1202
00:32:14,465 --> 00:32:17,168
PHILIPPINES:

1203
00:32:17,235 --> 00:32:17,902
THAT IS, HISTORY HAS BEEN

1204
00:32:17,969 --> 00:32:19,237
REWRITTEN.

1205
00:32:19,304 --> 00:32:20,738
>> SINCE THE RETURN OF THE

1206
00:32:20,805 --> 00:32:22,840
MARCOSES, THERE'S BEEN A TRICKLE

1207
00:32:22,907 --> 00:32:27,245
OF NEW INFORMATION IN YOUTUBE,

1208
00:32:27,312 --> 00:32:28,146
IN GOOGLE THAT'S A REVISION OF

1209
00:32:28,212 --> 00:32:28,613
THE INTERPRETATION OF

1210
00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:34,519
MARTIAL LAW.

1211
00:32:34,585 --> 00:32:54,205
[SPEAKING NON-ENGLISH LANGUAGE]

1212
00:32:54,272 --> 00:32:55,707
>> John: WOW.

1213
00:32:55,773 --> 00:32:56,474
THAT IS A STARK REWRITING OF A

1214
00:32:56,541 --> 00:33:01,646
TERRIBLE PERIOD.

1215
00:33:01,713 --> 00:33:04,515
AND I DO REALIZE THE U.S. ISN'T

1216
00:33:04,582 --> 00:33:05,550
EXACTLY PERFECT HERE, EITHER.

1217
00:33:05,616 --> 00:33:06,351
WE GRAPPLE WITH OUR GREATEST

1218
00:33:06,417 --> 00:33:07,085
MONSTERS BY PUTTING UP CONSTANT

1219
00:33:07,151 --> 00:33:08,019
REMINDERS OF THEM, ON

1220
00:33:08,086 --> 00:33:09,087
MOUNTAINS, IN TOWN SQUARES, AND

1221
00:33:09,153 --> 00:33:11,089
ON CRISP $20 BILLS.

1222
00:33:11,155 --> 00:33:12,290
[LAUGHTER]

1223
00:33:12,357 --> 00:33:13,124
AND THIS WILLFUL DISTORTION OF

1224
00:33:13,191 --> 00:33:14,492
HISTORY HAS BEEN MASSIVELY

1225
00:33:14,559 --> 00:33:16,160
ABETTED BY THE INTERNET, AS THE

1226
00:33:16,227 --> 00:33:17,295
PHILIPPINES FREQUENTLY RANKS AS

1227
00:33:17,362 --> 00:33:18,930
THE MOST ONLINE NATION IN THE

1228
00:33:18,996 --> 00:33:21,299
WORLD.

1229
00:33:21,366 --> 00:33:23,034
THAT IS ACTUALLY SOMETHING

1230
00:33:23,101 --> 00:33:24,268
DUTERTE VERY MUCH BENEFITED

1231
00:33:24,335 --> 00:33:25,169
FROM, AS HE RODE A WAVE OF

1232
00:33:25,236 --> 00:33:26,337
FALSE STORIES, PAID TROLLING,

1233
00:33:26,404 --> 00:33:26,971
AND FACEBOOK ENGAGEMENT ALL THE

1234
00:33:27,038 --> 00:33:28,606
WAY TO THE PRESIDENCY.

1235
00:33:28,673 --> 00:33:30,742
IN FACT, FACEBOOK ITSELF EVEN

1236
00:33:30,808 --> 00:33:33,211
CALLED HIM THE "UNDISPUTED KING

1237
00:33:33,277 --> 00:33:34,879
OF FACEBOOK CONVERSATIONS,"

1238
00:33:34,946 --> 00:33:37,081
A TITLE SURPRISINGLY NOT HELD BY

1239
00:33:37,148 --> 00:33:38,349
YOUR UNCLE WHO HAS SOME HOT

1240
00:33:38,416 --> 00:33:39,751
TAKES ON THE VACCINE HE THINKS

1241
00:33:39,817 --> 00:33:43,254
YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT.

1242
00:33:43,321 --> 00:33:43,521
[LAUGHTER]

1243
00:33:43,588 --> 00:33:44,355
AND THE INTERNET IS NOW

1244
00:33:44,422 --> 00:33:45,456
SIMILARLY AWASH IN FACEBOOK

1245
00:33:45,523 --> 00:33:46,691
POSTS AND TIKTOK

1246
00:33:46,758 --> 00:33:47,859
VIDEOS THAT BOTH GLORIFY AND

1247
00:33:47,925 --> 00:33:49,761
ROMANTICIZE THE MARCOS FAMILY.

1248
00:33:49,827 --> 00:33:51,329
POPULAR POSTS ON FACEBOOK HAVE

1249
00:33:51,396 --> 00:33:52,797
EXPLAINED AWAY FERDINAND'S ILL

1250
00:33:52,864 --> 00:34:01,072
GOTTEN WEALTH, SAYING

1251
00:34:01,139 --> 00:34:02,840
HIS FORTUNE WAS LEFT BY A

1252
00:34:02,907 --> 00:34:06,677
JAPANESE GENERAL AFTER WORLD WAS

1253
00:34:06,744 --> 00:34:08,012
EARNED FOR BEING A FANTASTIC

1254
00:34:08,079 --> 00:34:09,247
LAWYER.

1255
00:34:09,313 --> 00:34:10,281
THERE'S ALSO THIS ONE SUGGESTING

1256
00:34:10,348 --> 00:34:10,915
THAT MARCOS, AT ONE POINT, GAVE

1257
00:34:10,982 --> 00:34:12,083
BREAD TO A YOUNG MICHAEL JORDAN.

1258
00:34:12,150 --> 00:34:12,917
IT SEEMS TO HAVE ORIGINATED AS A

1259
00:34:12,984 --> 00:34:13,618
JOKE, BUT HAS SINCE BEEN PASSED

1260
00:34:13,684 --> 00:34:14,485
AROUND COMPLETELY SERIOUSLY.

1261
00:34:14,552 --> 00:34:15,119
AND LET'S JUST BREAK THIS STORY

1262
00:34:15,186 --> 00:34:17,388
DOWN.

1263
00:34:17,455 --> 00:34:18,723
ON DECEMBER 24, 1969, THE

1264
00:34:18,790 --> 00:34:20,191
MARCOS FAMILY WAS IN WILMINGTON,

1265
00:34:20,258 --> 00:34:20,925
NORTH CAROLINA, TO CELEBRATE THE

1266
00:34:20,992 --> 00:34:23,027
HOLIDAYS -- THAT TRACKS, BECAUSE

1267
00:34:23,094 --> 00:34:25,163
IF YOU'RE A BILLIONAIRE FROM THE

1268
00:34:25,229 --> 00:34:25,797
OTHER SIDE OF THE WORLD AND YOU

1269
00:34:25,863 --> 00:34:28,699
WANT TO CELEBRATE THE HOLIDAYS

1270
00:34:28,766 --> 00:34:29,700
IN AMERICA, THERE IS ONLY ONE

1271
00:34:29,767 --> 00:34:31,602
PLACE YOU'RE GOING, AND

1272
00:34:31,669 --> 00:34:32,103
THAT'S WILMINGTON, NORTH

1273
00:34:32,170 --> 00:34:34,539
CAROLINA.

1274
00:34:34,605 --> 00:34:37,608
[LAUGHTER]

1275
00:34:37,675 --> 00:34:38,176
THEN PRESIDENT MARCOS WAS

1276
00:34:38,242 --> 00:34:39,844
WALKING IN A PARK AND HE SAW A

1277
00:34:39,911 --> 00:34:40,445
SKINNY CHILD BEGGING FOR FOOD.

1278
00:34:40,511 --> 00:34:42,113
HE GAVE HIM A WHOLE BOX OF

1279
00:34:42,180 --> 00:34:42,680
NUTRIBUN, AND SAID, "BRING

1280
00:34:42,747 --> 00:34:43,548
THIS WITH YOU CHILD, SOMEDAY YOU

1281
00:34:43,614 --> 00:34:44,148
WILL GROW UP TO BE SOMEONE

1282
00:34:44,215 --> 00:34:48,986
IMPORTANT."

1283
00:34:49,053 --> 00:34:49,620
SO, TO BE CLEAR, IN THIS STORY,

1284
00:34:49,687 --> 00:34:52,256
PRESIDENT MARCOS WAS WALKING

1285
00:34:52,323 --> 00:34:53,224
THROUGH A PARK, HOLDING BREAD.

1286
00:34:53,291 --> 00:34:53,758
SPECIFICALLY, NUTRIBUN, A

1287
00:34:53,825 --> 00:34:54,292
BREAD MAINLY SOLD IN THE

1288
00:34:54,358 --> 00:34:54,992
PHILIPPINES.

1289
00:34:55,059 --> 00:34:55,726
MEANING MARCOS FLEW TO THE

1290
00:34:55,793 --> 00:34:56,661
UNITED STATES WITH NUTRIBUN,

1291
00:34:56,727 --> 00:34:58,329
BECAUSE HE WAS LIKE,

1292
00:34:58,396 --> 00:35:00,431
"WHAT IF WE GET TO WILMINGTON,

1293
00:35:00,498 --> 00:35:01,799
NORTH CAROLINA, MY FAVORITE

1294
00:35:01,866 --> 00:35:02,567
HOLIDAY DESTINATION, AND THEY

1295
00:35:02,633 --> 00:35:04,001
DON'T HAVE ANY BREAD THERE?"

1296
00:35:04,068 --> 00:35:04,936
THEN HE WENT TO THE PARK AND

1297
00:35:05,002 --> 00:35:05,903
PASSED, LIKE, TEN OTHER KIDS,

1298
00:35:05,970 --> 00:35:07,538
THINKING, "NONE OF YOU ARE GONNA

1299
00:35:07,605 --> 00:35:08,473
GROW UP TO BE IMPORTANT, YOU'RE

1300
00:35:08,539 --> 00:35:11,309
NOT GETTING ANY OF MY PARK

1301
00:35:11,375 --> 00:35:13,077
BREAD," THEN SAW MICHAEL JORDAN

1302
00:35:13,144 --> 00:35:17,615
AND WAS LIKE, "WAIT,

1303
00:35:17,682 --> 00:35:19,584
I'M PRETTY SURE THAT YOU ARE

1304
00:35:19,650 --> 00:35:20,618
GOING TO BE IMPORTANT.

1305
00:35:20,685 --> 00:35:21,252
SO HERE, HAVE THIS BREAD THAT I

1306
00:35:21,319 --> 00:35:21,853
BROUGHT WITH ME FROM THE OTHER

1307
00:35:21,919 --> 00:35:22,653
SIDE OF THE WORLD."

1308
00:35:22,720 --> 00:35:23,488
AND THEN THAT KID GREW UP TO BE

1309
00:35:23,554 --> 00:35:24,355
MICHAEL JORDAN, THE GREATEST

1310
00:35:24,422 --> 00:35:24,889
BASKETBALL PLAYER WHO EVER

1311
00:35:24,956 --> 00:35:29,560
LIVED.

1312
00:35:29,627 --> 00:35:30,528
THAT IS THE SINGLE DUMBEST STORY

1313
00:35:30,595 --> 00:35:31,295
INVOLVING A YOUNG MICHAEL JORDAN

1314
00:35:31,362 --> 00:35:31,896
I HAVE EVER HEARD, AND I HAVE

1315
00:35:31,963 --> 00:35:34,265
SEEN "SPACE JAM."

1316
00:35:34,332 --> 00:35:37,568
[LAUGHTER]

1317
00:35:37,635 --> 00:35:38,436
SO THAT IS JUST A TASTE OF THE

1318
00:35:38,503 --> 00:35:39,604
ONLINE NONSENSE WHICH IS

1319
00:35:39,670 --> 00:35:40,338
SUCCESSFULLY REFRAMING THE

1320
00:35:40,404 --> 00:35:41,372
MARCOS FAMILY HISTORY.

1321
00:35:41,439 --> 00:35:44,075
AND AT THE SAME TIME, BONGBONG'S

1322
00:35:44,141 --> 00:35:45,476
MAIN RIVAL, LENI ROBREDO, THE

1323
00:35:45,543 --> 00:35:46,077
CURRENT VICE PRESIDENT AND THE

1324
00:35:46,143 --> 00:35:47,678
WOMAN YOU SAW CHALLENGING HIM IN

1325
00:35:47,745 --> 00:35:49,013
THAT DEBATE CLIP EARLIER, HAS

1326
00:35:49,080 --> 00:35:50,081
FACED VICIOUS ATTACKS ONLINE,

1327
00:35:50,147 --> 00:35:50,815
RANGING FROM FALSE ALLEGATIONS

1328
00:35:50,882 --> 00:35:52,083
THAT SHE HAS TIES TO ARMED

1329
00:35:52,149 --> 00:35:52,984
COMMUNIST REBELS TO PHONY

1330
00:35:53,050 --> 00:35:53,851
RUMORS THAT SHE MURDERED HER

1331
00:35:53,918 --> 00:35:54,986
HUSBAND.

1332
00:35:55,052 --> 00:35:56,254
IN FACT, FACT-CHECKERS HAVE

1333
00:35:56,320 --> 00:35:57,188
REPORTED THAT ALMOST ALL THE

1334
00:35:57,255 --> 00:35:59,223
DISINFORMATION ABOUT

1335
00:35:59,290 --> 00:36:00,725
ROBREDO IS NEGATIVE, WHILE ANY

1336
00:36:00,791 --> 00:36:01,659
DISINFORMATION ABOUT BONGBONG

1337
00:36:01,726 --> 00:36:02,660
OVERWHELMINGLY PUTS HIM IN A

1338
00:36:02,727 --> 00:36:04,662
POSITIVE LIGHT.

1339
00:36:04,729 --> 00:36:06,797
BUT MAYBE THE MOST FANTASTICAL

1340
00:36:06,864 --> 00:36:08,833
LIE THAT BONGBONG'S CAMPAIGN HAS

1341
00:36:08,900 --> 00:36:10,468
TOLD IS ACTUALLY THE MOST

1342
00:36:10,535 --> 00:36:13,938
MUNDANE ONE:

1343
00:36:14,005 --> 00:36:14,972
THAT HE IS NOT THE SCION OF A

1344
00:36:15,039 --> 00:36:16,140
POLITICAL CRIME FAMILY, HE'S

1345
00:36:16,207 --> 00:36:17,575
JUST A REGULAR, ORDINARY CITIZEN

1346
00:36:17,642 --> 00:36:18,175
WHO JUST HAPPENS TO BE RUNNING

1347
00:36:18,242 --> 00:36:20,978
FOR PRESIDENT.

1348
00:36:21,045 --> 00:36:21,946
IN FACT, HERE IS HOW HIS WIFE

1349
00:36:22,013 --> 00:36:22,547
DESCRIBED THE EXACT MOMENT HE

1350
00:36:22,613 --> 00:36:26,083
DECIDED TO RUN.

1351
00:36:26,150 --> 00:36:28,920
>> YOU KNOW, SIX MONTHS AGO, HE

1352
00:36:28,986 --> 00:36:31,489
WASN'T YET SURE WHAT TO DO, WE

1353
00:36:31,556 --> 00:36:32,423
HAD NO PARTY, YOU KNOW.

1354
00:36:32,490 --> 00:36:35,493
AND THEN ONE DAY WE WERE

1355
00:36:35,560 --> 00:36:40,631
WATCHING "ANT-MAN" IN THE ROOM

1356
00:36:40,698 --> 00:36:44,268
AND THEN HE LOOKED AT -- BECAUSE

1357
00:36:44,335 --> 00:36:45,570
WE LOVE

1358
00:36:45,636 --> 00:36:46,771
MARVEL MOVIES, AND THEN HE

1359
00:36:46,837 --> 00:36:47,338
LOOKED AT ME AND HE

1360
00:36:47,405 --> 00:36:48,472
GOES, "OKAY, WE'RE GONNA DO

1361
00:36:48,539 --> 00:36:49,340
THIS," HE TOLD ME.

1362
00:36:49,407 --> 00:36:49,774
I SAID, "DO WHAT?"

1363
00:36:49,840 --> 00:36:50,374
"RUN FOR THE PRESIDENCY."

1364
00:36:50,441 --> 00:36:52,977
>> John: NO FUCKING WAY.

1365
00:36:53,044 --> 00:36:53,411
[LAUGHTER]

1366
00:36:53,477 --> 00:36:54,445
THAT DID NOT HAPPEN.

1367
00:36:54,512 --> 00:36:55,079
I AM CALLING TOTAL BULLSHIT ON

1368
00:36:55,146 --> 00:36:57,582
THE IDEA THAT BONGBONG DECIDED

1369
00:36:57,648 --> 00:37:01,118
TO RUN FOR PRESIDENT OUT OF

1370
00:37:01,185 --> 00:37:01,719
NOWHERE, MID MARVEL FILM.

1371
00:37:01,786 --> 00:37:02,353
MAINLY BECAUSE I CAN THINK OF A

1372
00:37:02,420 --> 00:37:04,655
MUCH MORE SALIENT REASON HE'D

1373
00:37:04,722 --> 00:37:07,625
WANT TO RUN:

1374
00:37:07,692 --> 00:37:08,526
HOLD SWAY OVER THE COMMISSION

1375
00:37:08,593 --> 00:37:09,226
DEVOTED TO INVESTIGATING AND

1376
00:37:09,293 --> 00:37:10,661
RECOVERING HIS FAMILY'S WEALTH,

1377
00:37:10,728 --> 00:37:14,966
AS WELL AS THE TAX OFFICE.

1378
00:37:15,032 --> 00:37:16,834
WHICH WOULD BE PARTICULARLY

1379
00:37:16,901 --> 00:37:17,668
USEFUL FOR HIM, AS

1380
00:37:17,735 --> 00:37:18,536
THE MARCOSES HAVE REFUSED TO PAY

1381
00:37:18,603 --> 00:37:19,737
A TAX BILL THAT REPORTEDLY

1382
00:37:19,804 --> 00:37:20,504
AMOUNTS TO $3.9 BILLION DOLLARS,

1383
00:37:20,571 --> 00:37:21,339
INCLUDING PENALTIES.

1384
00:37:21,405 --> 00:37:22,173
SO BONGBONG COULD EASILY TELL

1385
00:37:22,239 --> 00:37:24,175
HIS OWN ADMINISTRATION TO JUST

1386
00:37:24,241 --> 00:37:24,775
FORGET ABOUT HIS MASSIVE DEBT,

1387
00:37:24,842 --> 00:37:25,643
WHICH IS CLEARLY AN APPEALING

1388
00:37:25,710 --> 00:37:26,243
IDEA.

1389
00:37:26,310 --> 00:37:27,311
IN FACT, WHEN YOU THINK OF IT,

1390
00:37:27,378 --> 00:37:28,279
"ANT-MAN" COULD ACTUALLY BE THE

1391
00:37:28,346 --> 00:37:29,547
PERFECT MOVIE TO INSPIRE HIM TO

1392
00:37:29,614 --> 00:37:30,147
RUN FOR PRESIDENT, GIVEN THAT

1393
00:37:30,214 --> 00:37:30,781
IT'S ABOUT A THIEF WHOSE

1394
00:37:30,848 --> 00:37:31,849
QUESTIONABLE PAST IS FORGOTTEN

1395
00:37:31,916 --> 00:37:32,950
AFTER HE RISES TO POWER USING

1396
00:37:33,017 --> 00:37:37,888
RESOURCES THAT HE ALSO STOLE.

1397
00:37:37,955 --> 00:37:40,491
[LAUGHTER]

1398
00:37:40,558 --> 00:37:41,359
BUT I WILL SAY, BONGBONG'S BRAND

1399
00:37:41,425 --> 00:37:42,226
RELAUNCH HASN'T WORKED ON

1400
00:37:42,293 --> 00:37:42,994
EVERYONE.

1401
00:37:43,060 --> 00:37:44,428
PLENTY OF FILIPINOS ARE STILL

1402
00:37:44,495 --> 00:37:46,030
OPPOSED TO HIM, AND TO HAVING

1403
00:37:46,097 --> 00:37:46,597
THE MARCOS ERA REWRITTEN IN

1404
00:37:46,664 --> 00:37:48,833
FRONT OF THEIR VERY EYES.

1405
00:37:48,899 --> 00:37:51,302
DESPITE TRAILING BONGBONG

1406
00:37:51,369 --> 00:37:52,536
MASSIVELY IN THE POLLS,

1407
00:37:52,603 --> 00:37:57,108
LENI ROBREDO HAS INSPIRED

1408
00:37:57,174 --> 00:37:58,442
HUGE RALLIES THERE.

1409
00:37:58,509 --> 00:37:59,744
AND WALDEN BELLO, WHO'S RUNNING

1410
00:37:59,810 --> 00:38:01,112
AGAINST SARA DUTERTE FOR VICE

1411
00:38:01,178 --> 00:38:03,080
PRESIDENT, HAS BEEN OUTSPOKEN

1412
00:38:03,147 --> 00:38:06,217
ABOUT JUST HOW OUTRAGEOUS THIS

1413
00:38:06,283 --> 00:38:06,917
ALL IS.

1414
00:38:06,984 --> 00:38:08,119
>> MARCOS HAS CREATED A BIG

1415
00:38:08,185 --> 00:38:16,227
PUBLIC RELATIONS MACHINE THAT

1416
00:38:16,293 --> 00:38:23,634
USES SOCIAL MEDIA TO TRY TO

1417
00:38:23,701 --> 00:38:30,207
CONVINCE PEOPLE THAT THE 14

1418
00:38:30,274 --> 00:38:32,810
YEARS OF MARTIAL LAW, NOT THE

1419
00:38:32,877 --> 00:38:34,045
COLLECTIVE NIGHTMARE, HE'S

1420
00:38:34,111 --> 00:38:35,713
TRYING TO USE SOCIAL MEDIA AND

1421
00:38:35,780 --> 00:38:38,049
HIS HUNDREDS OF TROLLS TO SAY

1422
00:38:38,115 --> 00:38:40,518
"MY GOD, THIS IS THE FAMILY THAT

1423
00:38:40,584 --> 00:38:41,485
HAS RAPED THE COUNTRY, IT HAS

1424
00:38:41,552 --> 00:38:43,688
NOT APOLOGIZED TO THE COUNTRY,

1425
00:38:43,754 --> 00:38:44,622
AND HE NOW WANTS TO RAPE

1426
00:38:44,689 --> 00:38:45,022
THE COUNTRY AGAIN.

1427
00:38:45,089 --> 00:38:47,725
FUCK YOU, MARCOS!

1428
00:38:47,792 --> 00:38:48,259
[APPLAUSE]

1429
00:38:48,325 --> 00:38:49,093
>> John: YEAH, WELL PUT.

1430
00:38:49,160 --> 00:38:50,194
AND THE THING IS, NO MATTER HOW

1431
00:38:50,261 --> 00:38:50,728
HARD YOU TRY TO REINVENT

1432
00:38:50,795 --> 00:38:51,729
YOURSELF, THERE'S ALWAYS GOING

1433
00:38:51,796 --> 00:38:52,663
TO BE SOME PEOPLE WHO REMEMBER

1434
00:38:52,730 --> 00:38:53,130
WHO YOU REALLY ARE.

1435
00:38:53,197 --> 00:38:54,165
WHETHER YOU'RE A NEW COLLEGE

1436
00:38:54,231 --> 00:38:54,765
FRESHMAN TRYING ON A BRITISH

1437
00:38:54,832 --> 00:38:55,399
ACCENT, OR A MASSIVE TECH

1438
00:38:55,466 --> 00:38:56,567
OLIGARCHY TRYING TO PAPER OVER

1439
00:38:56,634 --> 00:38:57,368
ITS COMPLICITY IN VIOLENCE AND

1440
00:38:57,435 --> 00:39:05,676
GENOCIDE.

1441
00:39:05,743 --> 00:39:06,410
HEY, MARK, I THINK META'S

1442
00:39:06,477 --> 00:39:07,445
REALLY STARTING TO CATCH ON!

1443
00:39:07,511 --> 00:39:08,879
GIVE IT A FEW MORE WEEKS, MAYBE.

1444
00:39:08,946 --> 00:39:12,249
YOU'RE DOING GREAT, BUDDY!

1445
00:39:12,316 --> 00:39:14,552
PEOPLE ARE GOING TO BE REALLY

1446
00:39:14,618 --> 00:39:14,919
PUMPED FOR THIS.

1447
00:39:14,985 --> 00:39:15,720
[LAUGHTER]

1448
00:39:15,786 --> 00:39:16,520
IT HAS BEEN AMAZING TO SEE THE

1449
00:39:16,587 --> 00:39:17,088
PHILIPPINES ELECTION UNFOLD.

1450
00:39:17,154 --> 00:39:17,621
BECAUSE IN THIS ELECTION,

1451
00:39:17,688 --> 00:39:18,255
THEY'RE NOT JUST VOTING ON THEIR

1452
00:39:18,322 --> 00:39:18,923
FUTURE.

1453
00:39:18,989 --> 00:39:19,523
THEY'RE VOTING ON THEIR PAST.

1454
00:39:19,590 --> 00:39:20,224
SPECIFICALLY, WHICH ONE DO THEY

1455
00:39:20,291 --> 00:39:24,995
WANT TO BELIEVE?

1456
00:39:25,062 --> 00:39:26,831
THE ONE WHERE FERDINAND MARCOS

1457
00:39:26,897 --> 00:39:28,866
WREAKED HAVOC ON A COUNTRY AND

1458
00:39:28,933 --> 00:39:29,467
ITS PEOPLE UNDER MARTIAL LAW?

1459
00:39:29,533 --> 00:39:30,301
OR THE ONE WHERE HE WAS SOMEHOW

1460
00:39:30,367 --> 00:39:31,235
THE GREATEST NBA SCOUT OF ALL

1461
00:39:31,302 --> 00:39:33,871
TIME?

1462
00:39:33,938 --> 00:39:34,572
[LAUGHTER]

1463
00:39:34,638 --> 00:39:35,406
AND I KNOW THAT MOST PEOPLE

1464
00:39:35,473 --> 00:39:36,807
WATCHING THIS AREN'T ELIGIBLE TO

1465
00:39:36,874 --> 00:39:37,408
VOTE IN IT -- ALTHOUGH, IF YOU

1466
00:39:37,475 --> 00:39:38,409
ARE, AND YOU'RE WATCHING,

1467
00:39:38,476 --> 00:39:39,543
"KUMUSTA, MARAMING SALAMAT PO!"

1468
00:39:39,610 --> 00:39:41,145
AND TO YOU, LET ME JUST SAY

1469
00:39:41,212 --> 00:39:42,146
THIS, I GET WHY YOU'D BE

1470
00:39:42,213 --> 00:39:43,214
SKEPTICAL ABOUT A BREAKDOWN OF

1471
00:39:43,280 --> 00:39:44,648
YOUR POLITICS FROM SOMEONE WITH

1472
00:39:44,715 --> 00:39:48,519
WHAT CAN ONLY BE DESCRIBED AS

1473
00:39:48,586 --> 00:39:50,988
"BIG COLONIZER ENERGY," AND WHO

1474
00:39:51,055 --> 00:39:52,389
LIVES IN A COUNTRY THAT IS NO

1475
00:39:52,456 --> 00:39:53,190

DETERMINED NOT TO REPEAT IT.

1484
00:40:03,100 --> 00:40:05,436
BECAUSE BONGBONG MARCOS HAS

1485
00:40:05,503 --> 00:40:06,504
SHOWN VIRTUALLY NO REMORSE FOR
