( LAUGHTER ) IT'S THE THIRD LEAVE FROM C.S.I.
CYBER.

>> James: THAT DOES CHANGE THINGS.
>> SHE'S BUSY.
>> James: WHY DON'T WE DO THAT, SPACE IT OUT?
>> WHEN IT RAINS, IT POURS.
IT'S ABOUT SCHEDULING.
>> James: MY POINT IS LET'S JUST HAVE A STEADY FALL OF RAIN.
WHEN IT RAINS IT POURS, AND THEN SOME WEEKS IT'S BARREN.

YEAH.
NO SUGAR, NO BREAD, NO GLUTEN.
HE'S A MACHINE.
>> James: YEAH, BUT WHAT'S HE DONE WITH IT?

>> James: YEAH, HE'S GOT NO GLUTEN, HE'S GOT NO SUGAR, HE'S
GOT NO DAIRY, BUT WHAT HAS HE ACHIEVED?
>> FOR WHAT.
>> James: FOR WHAT.
THE GREATEST OF ALL TIMES.
HAS HE TRIED CHICK-FIL-A SAUCE?
THAT'S ALSO THE GREATEST OF ALL TIMES.
>> Reggie: THAT'S TRUE.
THAT'S TRUE.
SO GOOD.
>> James: DO YOU WANT TO DO THE HEADLINES, IAN?
I TELL YOU WHAT, DO YOU, YOU'RE CO-HEAD WRITER ON THE SHOW,
PEMPLET FIXTURE IN THAT CORNER, DO YOU WANT TO DO THE HEADLINES?

I HONESTLY THAT YOU WERE GOING TO SAVE ME.
YOU LOOKED AT ME LIKE COME TO ME BECAUSE HE'S REALLY PUT YOU IN A

>> NOT REALLY.
>> James: NO ONE WANTS WANTS TO DO THE HEADLINES.
ROB DOES.
ROB DOES BECAUSE THIS IS LATE NIGHT.
>> I WANT TO DO CELEBRITY CLIMATE PATTERNS.
>> James: CELEBRITY CLIMATE PARENTS.
♪ CELEBRITY CLIMATE PATTERN ♪ >> THERE'S A HIGH PRESSURE
JARRED BUTLER SYSTEM MOVING IN!
>> James: IT'S ALL ABOUT WHO'S IN THE NEWS, WHO'S HOT, WHO'S
COLD.
>> Reggie: YEAH.
IT'S A RuPAUL WARNING!
( LAUGHTER ) >> James: SO NO HEADLINES.
NO.
>> James: JOHN, HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT IT?
YOU WERE VERY INVOLVED IN THE WRITING TO HAVE THE HEADLINES
TODAY.
>> I THINK MY PART OF IT IS DONE.
>> James: MY PART WAS DONE!
( LAUGHTER ) I GET PAID EITHER WAY, I'LL BE
HERE TOMORROW, DOESN'T MATTER!
( LAUGHTER ) ALL RIGHT, WELL, ( BLEEP ) YOU
WE'RE DOING THEM.
( LAUGHTER ) LET'S JUMP INTO THE HEADLINES.
SOME NEWS TO TALK ABOUT -- TOMORROW, THE SENATE IS
SCHEDULED TO VOTE ON PRESIDENT BIDEN'S $1.9 TRILLION COVID
RELIEF PACKAGE.
BUT LOTS OF PEOPLE ARE UPSET THAT THE BILL WILL NOT INCLUDE A
PREVIOUSLY-PROMISED MINIMUM WAGE INCREASE.
"YOU HAD ONE JOB!" SAID EVERYBODY WHO'S WORKING TWO
JOBS.
( LAUGHTER ) I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE THINKING, AND
DON'T WORRY.
NO, THIS WON'T AFFECT THE TAKE-HOME PAY OF EVERYONE IN
CONGRESS.
THEY'LL BE ABSOLUTELY FINE.
I MEAN, IT'S SUCH A -- LEAVE IT TO DEMOCRATS TO SOMEHOW
FIND A WAY TO GIVE AMERICANS TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN RELIEF
AND STILL MAKE IT FEEL LIKE A LETDOWN.
( LAUGHTER ) MEANWHILE, SENATOR ELIZABETH
WARREN HAS JUST INTRODUCED LEGISLATION THAT WOULD CALL FOR
A TAX ON "ULTRA-MILLIONAIRES," WHICH IS DEFINED AS HOUSEHOLDS
WORTH MORE THAN $50 MILLION.
THAT INCLUDES ABOUT 100,000 AMERICAN FAMILIES.
HOUSEHOLDS WORTH MORE THAN $50 MILLION.
OR AS JEFF BEZOS CALLS THEM THE MIDDLE CLASS.
( LAUGHTER ) WARREN'S PLAN CALLS FOR AN
ADDITIONAL 1% TAX ON BILLIONAIRES.
PLUS AN EXTRA 1% FOR EVERY TIME ELON MUSK TWEETS SOMETHING
WEIRD.
( LAUGHTER ) IT'S A STRANGE NAME FOR THEM
"ULTRA MILLIONAIRE."
>> Reggie: ULTRA.
>> James: "ULTRA MILLIONAIRE."
IT SOUNDS LIKE THE NAME OF A COMIC BOOK SUPERHERO INVENTED BY
REPUBLICANS.
( LAUGHTER ) IAN, WHAT'S ULTRA MILLIONAIRE'S
SUPER POWER?
>> HE CAN FLY ONLY BY PULLING HIMSELF UP ON HIS BOOT STRAPS!
( LAUGHTER ) >> James: DID YOU GUYS SEE
THIS?
STARTING IN MAY.
ROYAL CARIBBEAN WILL BE OFFERING CRUISES IN WHICH ALL OF THE
PASSENGERS, AND ALL OF THE CREW, WILL HAVE ALREADY BEEN
VACCINATED FOR COVID-19.
>> YES.
>> James: YEAH.
NOW ALL YOU HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT ON THE CRUISE SHIP IS GETTING
SEA SICK, SALMONELLA, E. COLI, AND NOROVIRUS.
( LAUGHTER ) EVERYONE WILL HAVE THE COVID
VACCINE.
>> Reggie: SWEET.
>> James: IRONICALLY, AT A LOT OF THOSE
CRUISE SHIP BUFFETS YOU'D ACTUALLY PREFER NOT TO HAVE A
SENSE OF TASTE OR SMELL.
>> Reggie: TRUE.
>> James: I'M WORRIED ABOUT THIS.
SHALL UH TELL YOU WHY I'M SOAR RID?
I'M JUST WORRIED THEY'RE GOING TO BE LIKE, "YOU DON'T NEED
MASKS ON THIS CRUISE!" AND THEN HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE WILL
DIE WHEN THEY GO SNORKELING.
( LAUGHTER ) AND WE WANTED TO TELL YOU ABOUT
A NEW PRODUCT THAT HAS JUST BEEN SUBMITTED FOR F.D.A. APPROVAL.
THEY'RE EYE DROPS THAT INCREASE YOUR DEPTH OF FOCUS SO YOU DON'T
HAVE TO WEAR READING GLASSES.
BUT THEN HOW WILL I PRETEND TO BE SMART?
( LAUGHTER ) HERE'S HOW IT WORKS: PEOPLE WILL
BE LIKE "YEAH, GLASSES ARE SUCH A PAIN IN THE ASS.
HOLD ON, WHAT'S THIS MENU SAY?" JUST GIVE ME A MINUTE.
( LAUGHTER ) "I MEAN, THIS IS JUST SO MUCH
EASIER THAN GLASSES."
( LAUGHTER ) THOSE GLASSES ARE SUCH A PAIN.
( LAUGHTER ) I'LL HAVE THE TIRAMISU.
THANK YOU.
( LAUGHTER ) NO MORE READING GLASSES.
THE GOOD NEWS IS, IT'S MUCH HARDER TO FORGET A BOTTLE OF EYE
DROPS ON YOUR HEAD.
( LAUGHTER ) HERE'S THE STORY --
REESE'S HAS INTRODUCED A NEW KIND OF PEANUT BUTTER CUP
THIS TIME WITH NO CHOCOLATE AT ALL.
THEY'RE CALLING THEM THE "REESE'S ULTIMATE PEANUT BUTTER
LOVERS CUP."
HERE THEY ARE HERE.
LOOK AT THAT.
IT LOOKS LIKE A REESE'S THAT STOPPED DYING ITS HAIR DURING
QUARANTINE.
( LAUGHTER ) THEY'RE 100% PEANUT BUTTER.
>> Reggie: WOW.
>> James: YOU KNOW, FOR ALL THOSE PEOPLE
OUT THERE WHO ABSOLUTELY DESPISE CHOCOLATE.
THE NEW PRODUCT WILL BE CALLED THE "REESE'S ULTIMATE PEANUT
BUTTER LOVERS CUP."
WHICH IS BETTER THAN THE ORIGINAL NAME, "REESE'S PEANUT
BUTTER CUPS: NOW BUTT-ASS NAKED!"
( LAUGHTER ) IS THAT ENOUGH HEADLINES, ROB?
CAN WE TALK TO TOM BRADY NOW?
>> YEAH, THAT'S ENOUGH HEADLINES.
>> James: CAN WE TALK TO TOM BRADY?
>> YEAH, LET'S TALK TO TOM BRADY.
>> James: JOINING US RIGHT NOW FOR HIS FIRST INTERVIEW SINCE
HIS SEVENTH CAREER SUPER BOWL WIN, FROM THE
TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS, HERE'S SUPER BOWL M.V.P., TOM BRADY!
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) IT'S SO GREAT TO SEE YOU.
HOW ARE YOU?
>> HI, JAMES.
SO GREAT BEING WITH YOU.
LOVE BEING ON YOUR SHOW.
>> James: WE'RE SO HAPPY YOU'RE HERE.
CONGRATULATIONS ON AN AMAZING ACHIEVEMENT JUST A FEW WEEKS
AGO.
NOW THAT YOU'RE IN THE OFF SEASON, DO YOU HAVE A HARD TIME
FIGURING OUT WHAT TO DO WITH YOURSELF WHEN THE SEASON'S OVER?
>> USUALLY YES.
LIKE, I ALWAYS DESCRIBE FOOTBALL SEASON AS A TREADMILL AND IT'S
GOING FAST, YOU KNOW, AND EVERY WEEK YOU WORK BASICALLY SEVEN
DAYS A WEEK FOR SIX STRAIGHT MONTHS, THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN
YOU'RE ON THIS TREADMILL THAT'S GOING FAST AND, BOOM, YOU HIT
THE STOP BUTTON, AND IT ALWAYS FEELS LIKE A CRASH LANDING.
SO WE HAD SOME TIME WHERE WE SPENT SOME TIME WITH MY WIFE AND
KIDS AND I ACTUALLY HAD KNEE SURGERY.
SO I'M KIND OF REHABBING NOW, WITH I IS GIVING ME SOMETHING TO
DO.
>> James: SURE.
ALTHOUGH I'D MUCH RATHER BE KIND OF STAYING ACTIVE LIKE I
NORMALLY DO.
>> James: AND YOU FEEL GOOD?
WHEN YOU GET HOME AFTER PRE-SEASON, DOES YOURSELF
PRESENT YOU WITH A LIST OF TO-DO CHORES AROUND THE HOUSE?
SOMETHING YOU HAVE BEEN IGNORING ALL SEASON?
DOES THAT EVER HAPPEN?
>> I THINK THERE'S DEFINITELY PART OF THAT WHERE SHE SAYS,
OKAY, YOUR TURN, YOU KNOW, YOU GOT BREAKFAST THIS MORNING, YOU
GOT, YOU KNOW, THESE DIFFERENT THINGS THAT I HAVE BEEN DOING
FOR THE LAST SIX MONTHS WHILE YOU HAVE BEEN PLAYING FOOTBALL.
BUT SHE'S BEEN -- SHE'S THE BEST SUPPORTER.
SHE'S BEEN AMAZING, AND I THINK, FOR ME, IT'S LIKE -- IT'S JUST A
WHOLE DIFFERENT LIFE.
SO THERE'S THIS IN-SEASON MODE OF UP EARLY FOOTBALL THIS, YOU
KNOW, THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THAT JUST LITERALLY STOPPED.
SO I'M JUST GETTING REACQUAINTED WITH THE DISHWASHER, WHERE THE
BROOM IS, WHERE THE VACUUM IS.
>> James: REACQUAINTED WITH THE DISHWASHER.
WHAT A GREAT LINE.
YOU TOLD ME WHEN WE WERE TALKING BEFORE AND I THOUGHT IT WAS AN
AMAZING THING ABOUT WHEN YOU'D WON THE SUPER BOWL A FEW WEEKS
AGO IN TAMPA AND THE TEAM THAT YOU HAD MOVED TO, AND TELL ME
ABOUT -- TELL ME THE STORY YOU TOLD ME WHEN SHE EMBRACED YOU ON
THE FIELD.
>> YEAH, SO, YOU KNOW, IT'S A BIG MOMENT, OBVIOUSLY, AND IT'S
A CULMINATION OF A LOT OF, YOU KNOW, MONTHS OF EVERYONE WORKING
HARD AND, LIKE I SAID, THERE'S SO MANY PEOPLE AROUND US THAT
SUPPORT US AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE GAME ENDS AND YOU
REALIZE, OKAY, GAME IS OVER, SEASON'S OVER, THEY'RE DROPPING
CONFETTI.
THIS YEAR WAS DIFFERENT WITH A LOT OF US, BUT, ANYWAY, I WAS
LOOKING FOR MY FAMILY, AND I WAS SAYING, WHERE'S MY FAMILY?
AND I SEE MY OLDEST SON RUN OVER TO ME, DAD!
I GIVE HIM A BIG HUG, AND I SAW MY TWO LITTLE ONES AND I SAW MY
WIFE AND I GAVE HER A BIG HUG AND JUST AS I DID IT, SHE SAID,
WHAT MORE DO YOU HAVE TO PROVE?
>> James: AND WHAT DID YOU SAY IN THAT MOMENT?
>> I JUST GAVE HER A BIG HUG.
I WAS TRYING TO FIND A WAY TO CHANGE THE SUBJECT REAL QUICK.
I THINK I MOVED ON TO SOMETHING ELSE PRETTY QUICKLY.
>> James: WHAT YOU'VE DONE THIS YEAR IS SO REMARKABLE.
THIS IS YOUR FIRST YEAR ON THIS NEW TEAM.
I MEAN -- >> YEAH.
>> James: BE HONEST, WAS ANY PART OF YOU SURPRISED AT HOW FAR
YOU WENT AS A TEAM?
DID YOU THINK THAT YOU WOULD BE ABLE TO ACHIEVE THIS IN YOUR
FIRST SEASON AT TAMPA?
>> YEAH.
WHERE IT WAS WAS GREAT FOR ME.
I WOULDN'T HAVE CHANGED ANYTHING.
I THINK, WHEN WE WERE AT THAT POINT AT THE PATRIOTS, EVERYONE
AT THE START OF THE SEASON WOULD BE, LIKE, WHO ARE YOU GUYS
PLAYING IN THE CHAMPIONSHIP GAME?
AND IT ALWAYS GOT TO BE LIKE, YOU KNOW, THE EXPECTATIONS WERE
SO -- NOT UNREALISTIC, IT WAS JUST LIKE PEOPLE JUMPED AHEAD OF
ALL THE INTENSE COMPETITION WHICH, IN THE END FOR US, YOU
KNOW, YOU KIND OF FEEL LIKE IT'S A LOT HARDER THAN THAT.
AND I THINK GOING INTO THIS YEAR WAS DIFFERENT FOR ME BECAUSE,
YOU KNOW, YOU GO TO A DIFFERENT PLACE, AND THAT WASN'T REALLY
THE QUESTION THAT WAS BEING ASKED.
THE QUESTION IS CAN YOU GUYS BE SIXFUL, HOW ARE YOU GOING TO BE
SUCCESSFUL, HOW ARE YOU GOING TO LEARN YOUR TEAMMATES, HOW ARE
THEY GOING TO LEARN YOU?
AND THE NEXT THING YOU KNOW, WE'RE THRUST INTO THE SEASON,
THE SEASON STARTS, AND WE GO -- BASICALLY PLAY ONE OF THE BEST
TEAMS IN THE LEAGUE AS THE FIRST GAME IN THE YEAR, WHICH IS KIND
OF THE MEASURING STICK, AND WE GOT OFF TO A SLOW START.
SO WE BASICALLY FOUND -- WE STARTED OFF, YOU KNOW, NOT
GREAT.
WE IMPROVED A LITTLE BIT TO THE MIDDLE OF THE YEAR AND THEN WE
HAD A PRETTY ROUGH PATCH IN THE MONTH OF NOVEMBER, AND WE GOT A
WHY BUY WEEK AT THE RIGHT TIME WHERE HE DIDN'T HAVE A GAME AND
WE COULDN'T REALLY RECALIBRATE WHERE WE WERE AT.
AND, MAN, THE LAST FOUR WEEKS OF THE SEASON AND THROUGH THE
POST-SEASON, WE REALLY JUST -- WE FOUND OUR RHYTHM, AND WHEN WE
FOUND OUR RHYTHM, WE JUST REALLY HAD THE PEDAL ON THE METAL, AND
EVERYONE WORKED REALLY HARD.
IT WAS GREAT TEAMWORK.
IT WAS SO MUCH FUN TO SEE A TEAM COME TOGETHER THE WAY THAT IT
DID.
>> James: YEAH.
AND THE BELIEF AS WE KEPT GOING, IT WAS LIKE IT GREW AND
GREW AND GREW AND GREW.
AND I THINK BY THE TIME WE ETCH GOT TO THE SUPER BOWL, ALL OF US
STILL FELT LIKE WE WERE STILL GETTING BETTER.
WE WERE STILL IMPROVING.
MAN, IF THE GAME WAS A MONTH FROM NOW, WE WOULD STILL BE
GETTING BETTER, AND I THINK THAT WAS A GREAT FEELING GOING INTO
THAT GAME WHICH IS WHY WE FELT SO MUCH CONFIDENCE THAT WE
WEREN'T GOING ON FUMES AT THAT POINT, WE WEREN'T TRYING TO
SURVIVE THE SEASON.
WE WERE REALLY EXCITED ABOUT WHERE WE WERE AT AND WANTED TO
FINISH THE GAME IN THE RIGHT WAY AND PROVING TO EVERYONE THAT WE
WERE DESERVING TO BE THE CHAMPS AND JUST SO HAPPY FOR OUR TEAM
THAT WE ACCOMPLISHED THAT.
>> James: YOU ABSOLUTELY DID.
IT WAS AN AMAZING THING TO WATCH.
AS WAS, I HAVE TO SAY, THE BOAT PARADE WAS EQUALLY AS FANTASTIC
TO WATCH.
( LAUGHTER ) YOU --
>> I DON'T REMEMBER THAT QUITE AS WELL.
>> James: IF YOU DON'T REMEMBER IT, TAKE A LOOK.
( SHOUTING ) ( LAUGHTER )
>> James: I MEAN, I KNOW THE OUTCOME AND MY HEART IS STILL IN
MY MOUTH WHEN I SEE IT.
IS THERE ANY BIT OF YOU THINKING, WHAT DO I DO IF THIS
GOES IN THE WATER?
>> OKAY, FIRST OF ALL, I WAS NOT THINKING AT THAT MOMENT.
( LAUGHTER ) THERE WAS NOT A THOUGHT.
IT WAS, THIS SEEMS LIKE REALLY FUN TO DO.
AND NOT TO MENTION, WHEN YOU GET YOUR HANDS ON ONE OF THOSE
TROPHIES, THERE ARE A LOT OF SHARP EDGES TON BOTTOM WHERE THE
STAND IS.
OBVIOUSLY THE BALL IS WHAT IT IS.
BUT I FOUND OUT LATER THAT HAD THAT BEEN AN INCOMPLETE PASS,
THAT WOULD HAVE WENT DOWN, LIKE, 80 FEET.
>> James: OH, YOU'RE NEVER SEEING IT AGAIN.
>> SO I'M SO HAPPY TO CAM.
>> James: WHOSE VOICES DID YOU HEARSAY, NO!
SOMEBODY SHOUTS, NO!
DON'T DO IT!
>> THAT'S MY LITTLE EIGHT-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER.
>> James: OH, NO!
( LAUGHTER ) >> AND WHO COULD IMAGINE THAT AN
8-YEAR-OLD GIRL WOULD HAVE THE MOST SENSE OF ANYBODY IN THE
WHOLE AREA AT THE TIME?
LIKE SHE'S THE VOICE OF REASON.
I MEAN, GO FIGURE.
IT WAS REALLY CUTE.
>> James: IT WAS SO BRILLIANT, SEEING YOU HAVE SUCH A GREAT
TIME.
THIS IS YOU GETTING OFF THE BOAT.
( LAUGHTER ) NOW, WHAT IS THIS?
IS THIS SEA LEGS OR, DARE I SAY IT, A TOUCH OF TEQUILA?
>> OH, MAN -- I THINK A LITTLE OF BOTH.
A LITTLE OF BOTH.
IT'S DEFINITELY A MOMENT OF CELEBRATION.
I'M HAPPY I'M ON LAND AT THAT POINT, ABSOLUTELY HAPPY I'M
BEING SURROUND BID MY FELLOW QUARTERBACK GRIFF AT THE RIGHT
PLACE AT THE RIGHT TIME.
WHO COULD HAVE A FRIEND BET THRARN THAT MAKING SURE I WAS SO
COMFORTABLE WALKING OFF THE BOAT LIKE THAT?
>> James: WE ALL NEED THAT FRIEND.
AND I'VE GOT TO SAY, THAT TO ME, SEEING THAT STUFF, IT SUMS UP
WHAT THAT TEAM KIND OF REPRESENTED TO LOTS OF FOOTBALL
FANS OVER THE YEARS.
YOU LOOK LIKE YOU WERE SO TOGETHER AND YOU'RE ENJOYING IT
AND IT LOOKS LIKE A TEAM THAT ANYONE WOULD WANT TO BE A PART
OF, AND I SAY THIS BECAUSE I'M CONSTANTLY THINKING THIS, TOM,
THAT YOU ARE ONLY A YEAR OLDER THAN ME, RIGHT, YOU'RE
PERFORMING AT YOUR PEAK, YOU'RE DOING IT.
>> YEAH.
>> James: BE HONEST.
DO YOU THINK IT'S TOO LATE FOR ME TO BE DRAFTED?
( LAUGHTER ) JUST GIVE IT TO ME STRAIGHT.
>> BEING COMPLETELY HONEST.
>> James: YEP.
YOU HAVE ZERO CHANCE.
ZERO.
( LAUGHTER ) >> James: BUT I THINK I'VE GOT
THE PHYSIQUE.
NO?
I FEEL LIKE, WITH YOUR GUIDANCE, YOU DON'T THINK YOU COULD GET ME
HALFWAY THERE?
>> YOU KNOW WHAT, I THINK YOU'RE SO TALENTED -- I MEAN, YOU CAN'T
BE GREAT AT EVERYTHING.
LOOK AT YOU -- >> James: BUT SURELY, I MIGHT
NOT MAKE TAMPA BUT IF I COULD PLAY FOR THE JETS.
>> YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO PLAY FOR THE JETS.
ACTUALLY, YOU'RE RIGHT ABOUT THAT.
( LAUGHTER ) >> James: TOM BRADY, WE LOVE
YOU SO MUCH.
CHECK OUT TB12 SPORTS.com TO LEARN ABOUT HOW TOM STAYS THE
GREATEST OF ALL TIME.
CONGRATULATIONS ON A GREAT SEASON, TOM.
THANKS FOR BEING HERE.
FROM ALL OF US HERE, WE LOVE IT EVERY TIME YOU'RE HERE AT THE
WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK WITH STACEY ABRAMS, EVERYBODY.
TOM BRADY!
♪♪♪ >> James: WELCOME BACK.
NOW, I COULD NOT P MORE EXCITED THAT OUR NEXT GUEST IS HERE.
JOINING US ON THE SHOW IS A "NEW YORK TIMES" BEST-SELLING
AUTHOR, AN ENTREPRENEUR, AND POLITICAL POWERHOUSE.
WHAT AN HONOR TO HAVE NOBEL PEACE PRIZE NOMINEE, STACEY
ABRAMS ON THE SHOW TONIGHT!
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) STACEY, HOW ARE YOU?
>> QUITE WELL, THANK YOU.
HOW ARE YOU?
>> James: I'M SO EXCITED TO TALK TO YOU.
SO HAPPY YOU'RE HERE.
WHERE ARE YOU ZOOMING IN FROM NOW.
>> ATLANTA'S, GEORGIA.
MY HOME.
>> James: LET'S TALK ABOUT THIS PAST 12 MONTHS BECAUSE I
CANNOT THINK OF A PERSON WHO HAS WORKED HARDER FOR THE DEMOCRATIC
PARTY THAN YOU THIS PAST YEAR.
HAVE YOU HAD A CHANCE TO TAKE A BREAK?
BECAUSE I REALLY FEEL LIKE YOU DESERVE ONE.
>> I ACTUALLY DID GET TO TAKE A WEEK'S VACATION A FEW WEEKS AGO
AND IT WAS MARVELOUS.
>> James: WHAT SORT OF STUFF DOES STACEY ABRAMS LIKE TO GET
UP TO WHEN SHE'S NOT SAVING AMERICA.
>> THIS IS NOT SUCKING UP, BUT ONE THING I DID IS START AT THE
REBOOT OF DR. WHO AND GOT TO ENJOY TWO OF MY FAVORITE
EPISODES WITH YOU, AND I READ SOME BOOKS.
>> James: LOOK AT THIS!
THAT'S AMAZING!
I'LL TELL MATT, HE'LL BE OVER THE MOON.
I DIDN'T KNOW THIS ABOUT YOU, STACEY, YOU GRADUATED SPELMAN
COLLEGE WITH A MINOR DEGREE IN THEATER, WHICH IS WHY I ALWAYS
KNEW WE WOULD GET ALONG.
WHAT SORT OF PLAYS AND MUSICALS WERE YOU DOING?
DID YOU EVER CONSIDER A CAREER AS AN ACTRESS IS THIS.
>> I WENT TO A PERFORMING ARTS SCHOOL MY LAST TWO YEARS OF HIGH
SCHOOL AND DID LIGHTING DESIGN AND A LITTLE DIRECTING, THEN
STARRED IN A SPRING PLAY AT SPELLMAN AND MOREHOUSE, BUT I
DIDN'T GRADUATE WITH A MINOR BECAUSE I REALIZED I DIDN'T HAVE
THE ATTENTION SPAN TO BE AN ACTOR ALONE AND I WANTED TO DO
OTHER THINGS.
I JUST APPRECIATE AMAZING ACTORS AND ACTRESSES AND LOVE
TELEVISION AND FILM BUT COULD NOT MAKE IT MY PROFESSION.
>> James: IF YOU COULD HAVE ONE NIGHT ON BROADWAY, WHAT SHOW
WOULD YOU DO?
>> I WOULD LOVE TO DO IS A SHOW THAT WE DID WHEN I WAS IN HIGH
SCHOOL.
I LOVE "THE BOYFRIEND."
I THINK IT'S ONE TO HAVE THE FUN MUSICALS ON AN AMAZING SET AND
MUSIC THAT FEW PEOPLE GET TO APPRECIATE.
>> James: I THINK WE COULD GET THAT ON FOR ONE NIGHT.
STACEY ABRAMS AND "THE BOYFRIEND ."
[ APPLAUSE ] STACEY, OBVIOUSLY, IN 2020,
EVERYONE WAS PAYING ATTENTION TO POLITICS, IT FELT VERY ZONED IN
ON THE ELECTION, AND I WAS REALLY ALARMED WHEN I READ THAT,
IN 2021, AND I WANT TO GET THIS RIGHT, THERE'S ALREADY BEEN MORE
THAN 250 VOTER SUPPRESSION BILLS THAT HAVE BEEN INTRODUCED BY
REPUBLICANS.
WHAT CAN BE DONE ABOUT THIS?
AND ARE YOU WORRIED THAT PEOPLE, SINCE BIDEN WON, ARE SORT OF,
LIKE, OH, IT'S DONE NOW, IT'S ALL OKAY?
BECAUSE THIS IS THE TIME WHERE EVERYBODY HAS TO BE THE MOST
VIGILANT, RIGHT?
>> IT IS.
I MEAN, YES, I'M WORRIED, BECAUSE WHAT WE SAW HAPPEN ON
JANUARY 6, THE INSURRECTION IN WASHINGTON, D.C. WAS A VIOLENT
VERSION OF WHAT WE'RE WATCHING HAPPEN IN STATE CAPITOLS ACROSS
THE COUNTRY.
WHAT THEY ARE TRYING TO DO IS UNDO THE ELECTION BY SILENCING
THOSE THEY DIDN'T AGREE WITH AND THAT IS BY AND LARGE COMMUNITIES
OF COLOR, YOUNG PEOPLE AND THE THE POOR.
SO MY WORK IS TO MAKE CERTAIN THAT, NO MATTER WHERE YOU LIVE
IN THE UNITED STATES, YOU UNDERSTAND THAT DEMOCRACY
REMAINS UNDER THREAT AND THAT THE BEST SOLUTION, YOU KNOW,
BARRING A MASS AMNESIA OF THOSE WHO ARE ANTI-DEMOCRATIC AND
FORGET TO TRY TO STEAL THE VOTES IS WE HAVE ACTION BY CONGRESS.
THAT HR-1, FOR THE PEOPLE ACT, PASSED THE HOUSE THAT THE SENATE
VERSION PASSED BY AT LEAST SUSPENDING THE FILIBUSTER FOR
THE PROTECTION OF DEMOCRACY AND THAT WE PASS HR-4, THE JOHN
LEWIS VOTING RIGHTS ADVANCEMENT ACT TO PROTECT VOTING FROM HERE
ON.
>> James: THE VOTING SUPPRESSION BILLS THEY'RE TRYING
TO BRING IN, WHAT ARE THE KINDS OF THINGS THEY'RE TRYING TO DO?
>> SO, IN GEORGIA, THEY ARE TRYING TO ELIMINATE AUTOMATIC
VOTER REGISTRATION, WHICH WOULD PUSH SO MANY MILLIONS OF PEOPLE,
ESPECIALLY YOUNGER PEOPLE, OUT OF VOTER REGISTRATION.
THEY'RE TRYING TO ELIMINATE NO EXCUSES ABSENTEE BALLOTING, THAT
MEANS IF YOU NEEDED TO VOTE BY MAIL IN, LET'S SAY, A PANDEMIC,
THAT YOU HAVE TO HAVE AN EXCUSE OF BEING ELDERLY, IN THE
MILITARY OR DISABLED IN ORDER TO USE ABSENTEE BALLOTING.
BUT THEY'RE ALSO TRYING TO END EARLY VOTING.
THAT WAS INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT BECAUSE PEOPLE NEEDED TO BE ABLE
TO VIOLATE SAFELY AND SECURELY AND IF THEY HAD TO GO IN PERSON,
EARLY VOTING MEANT PEOPLE WEREN'T CROWDING INTO THE SAME
PRECINCT ON THE SAME DAY IN NOVEMBER AND HAD A FEW WEEKS TO
GET IT DONE.
UNFORTUNATELY, THIS REPUBLICAN ETHOS IS THAT WE SHOULD NOT HAVE
THE RIGHT TO VOTE EXCEPT ONE DAY AND LIMITS AND BARRIERS OF WHO
GETS TO BE THERE.
>> James: DO YOU EVER CROSS PATHS WITH SOME OF THE
REPUBLICANS WHO YOU KNOW ARE ACTIVELY TRYING TO DO THIS IN
CORRIDORS OR BIG CEREMONIES OR MEETINGS?
WHAT ARE THOSE MOMENTS LIKE?
>> WELL, I DON'T GO OUTSIDE RIGHT NOW.
>> James: SURE.
BT DURING MY TIME IN THE LEGISLATURE, I FOUGHT MANY OF
THESE BILLS.
IN FACT, THE PRIMARY PROPONENT IN THE HOUSE'S NAME IS BARRY
FLEMING IS MOST WELL KNOWN IN THE VOTER SUPPRESSION CIRCLES
FOR HAVING DEPUTY SHERIFFS FOLLOW BLACK MEN HOME TO SCARE
THEM OUT OF VOTING.
HE WAS THE COUNTY ATTORNEY AND HE BASICALLY SAID THIS IS AN
OKAY THING TO DO.
HE HAS BEEN PROPOSING LIMITS AND RESTRICTIONS ON VOTING FOR AS
LONG AS I'VE KNOWN HIM AND IT IS A HARD THING TO WORK WITH
SOMEONE WHO DOES NOT BELIEVE THAT YOUR COMMUNITY SHOULD BE
HEARD IN THE DEMOCRATIC PROCESS.
>> James: SO HOW DO YOU STAY DIGNIFIED IN THOSE MOMENTS?
>> WELL, YOU REMEMBER THAT YOU HAVE TO LIVE TO FIGHT ANOTHER
DAY.
I ALWAYS FOCUS ON THE FIGHT AND NOT THE PERSON.
I USE, YOU KNOW, PROFANE LANGUAGE IN MY HEAD BUT NOT OUT
LOUD.
( LAUGHTER ) BUT MORE THAN ANYTHING, I
REMEMBER THAT THE POINT OF THIS IS NOT SO ANY ONE PERSON CAN WIN
AN ELECTION, IT'S ABOUT BUILDING A SYSTEM THAT ALLOWS EVERY
ELIGIBLE VOTER TO BE HEARD, AND THAT REQUIRES PATIENCE, IT
REQUIRES SOMETIMES COMPROMISE, ALTHOUGH I DO NOT BELIEVE THE
COMPROMISE IS NECESSARY IN THIS SPACE BECAUSE WHAT'S HAPPENING
NOW IS NOT JUST VOTER SUPPRESSION, IT'S A RETURN TO
THE JIM CROW ERA, WHEN THE LIMITS ON ACCESS TO VOTING WERE
INTENTIONALLY TARGETED AT COMMUNITIES OF COLOR.
AND WHAT'S HAPPENING IN GEORGIA IS HAPPENING IN ARIZONA TO
LATINO AND NATIVE AMERICANS, IN NEW HAMPSHIRE TO YOUNG VOTERS
AND ACROSS THE COUNTRY AND IT'S ANTITHETICAL TO WHO WE SAY WE
ARE AS A NATION.
I DON'T HAVE THE LUXURY OF ANGER.
I HAVE TO STAY FOCUSED AND DETERMINED ON FIXING THE
PROBLEMS.
>> James: THE BIG NEWS IN WASHINGTON De' IS ALL ABOUT
THE COVID RELIEF BILL WITH A LOT OF ATTENTION ON THE $15 MINIMUM
WAGE INCREASE.
WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON THIS?
I FEEL THIS IS A HUGE MISTAKE TO NOT INCLUDE IT.
WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS?
>> I THINK IT WOULD BE BETTER FOR AMERICA IF WE COULD INCLUDE
IT, BUT I ALSO UNDERSTAND THE URGENCY OF GETTING THIS PACKAGE
THROUGH WITH THE VOTES NECESSARY THAT THE THAT THE $1.9 TRILLION
IS SO ESSENTIAL TO SUSTAINING IN THIS MOMENT, I DON'T THINK WE
SHOULD GIVE UP ON THE $15 MINIMUM WAGE.
I UNDERSTAND THE FRUSTRATION AND DISGUST, BUT I UNDERSTAND THERE
ARE PEOPLE IN MY STATE AND ACROSS THIS COUNTRY WHO ARE SO
DESPERATE FOR RELIEF THAT WE'VE GOT TO GET DONE WHAT WE CAN NOW
BUT IF WE PROTECT THE RIGHT TO VOTE WE CAN COME BACK AND GET
THE NEXT THING DONE.
>> James: TRUMP APPEARED AT THE THE C-PAC EVENT AND GAVE A
SPEECH ALLUDING TO A 2024 RUN FOR PRESIDENTY.
COULD THIS BE A REAL CONCERN FOR DEMOCRATS?
>> I DON'T CARE WHAT THAT MAN DOES.
THE FILM I PRODUCED "ALL IN THE FIGHT FOR DEMOCRACY" IS HOW WE
CAN'T BE STYMIED BY ONE PERSON OR IDEA, THAT WE HAVE TO BE
FOCUSED ON OUR GOALS, AND OUR GOAL OF FULL INCLUSION IN
DEMOCRACY IS WE CAN'T GIVE THE ATTENTION THE FAILED PRESIDENT
WANTS.
THE EXTENT WE FOCUS OUR ATTENTION OPEN HIM AND NOT THOSE
WHO NEED OUR HELP, WE GIVE HIM EXACTLY WHAT HE WANTS.
NOW I'VE GIVEN HIM 308 SECONDS MORE ATTENTION THAN I WANTED TO.
>> James: IT'S ALL ABOUT THE FYKE FOR DEMOCRACY.
HOW IMPORTANT IS THIS FILM TO YOU AND TELL US ABOUT IT.
>> THIS IS A DOCUMENTARY THAT I CO-PRODUCED STARTING IN 2019.
IT CAME OUT IN 2020 IN SEPTEMBER, AND IT WAS DESIGNED
TO DO THREE THINGS.
ONE IS TO REMIND PEOPLE THAT VOTER SUPPRESSION ISN'T NEW,
IT'S BEEN AROUND SINCE THE START OF THIS NATION AND IT HAS BEEN A
PERMANENT STAIN ON OUR NOTIONS OF DEMOCRACY.
NUMBER TWO, I NEED FOLKS TO UNDERSTAND THAT WHAT HAPPENED TO
ME IN GEORGIA, THE EGREGIOUS CAMPAIGN, IT PUT INTO SHARP
FOCUS WHAT HAPPENED.
I NEEDED PEOPLE TO KNOW IT DIDN'T JUST HAPPEN IN GEORGIA,
IT HAPPENED IN NORTH DAKOTA, IT HAPPENED IN TEXAS, IT HAPPENED
IN NEW HAMPSHIRE AND FLORIDA, BUT NUMBER THREE, WHEN YOU KNOW
WHAT THE ENEMY LOOKS LIKE, YOU CAN FIGHT BACK AND THAT'S THE
MOST IMPORTANT PIECE.
ALL IN CAME OUT IN SEPTEMBER 2020 IN TIME FOR THE
2020 ELECTION, BUT WE WANT IT TO BE ON PEOPLE'S MINDS BECAUSE
WE'RE STILL IN THE FIGHT FOR DEMOCRACY AND FIGHTING AGAINST
VOTER SUPPRESSION, BUT UNTIL IT'S VANQUISHED, WE CAN'T GIVE
IN OR LET IT GO.
>> James: THE FILM WAS SHORT-LISTED FOR AN OSCAR.
YOU COME FROM A LARGE FAMILY.
IF THE ACADEMY AWARDS WERE HAPPENING UNDER ONE ROOF AND YOU
COULD BRING A FAMILY MEMBER, WHO WOULD YOU BRING?
>> I WOULD HAVE TO BRING MY MOM.
>> James: IT WOULD BE SO BEAUTIFUL.
I REALLY REALLY HOPE THAT THE FILM GETS THE OSCAR NOMINATION
THAT IT RICHLY DESERVES.
IT'S COMPLETELY BRILLIANT AS ARE YOU.
LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT A CLIP FROM "ALL IN: THE FIGHT FOR
DEMOCRACY STREAMING RIGHT NOW ON AMAZON PRIME.
>> MY NAME IS STACEY ABRAMS AND I'M RUNNING TO BE THE NEXT
GOVERNOR TO HAVE THE GREAT STATE OF GEORGIA.
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) WE TALKED TO PEOPLE, WE MET THEM
AT THEIR DOORS, CHURCHES, MOSQUES, TEMPLES, SHINES, SIN
DOGS.
I WENT TO DRAGON CON AND MUSIC FEST.
I TALKED ABOUT REAL ISSUES.
I TALKED ABOUT MY BROTHER AND HIS FIGHT WITH DRUG AIL DICTION
AND INCARCERATION.
>> THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF FOLKS IN GEORGIA WHO ONLY GET THE HELP
THEY NEED WHEN THEY GO TO PRISON.
I'M RUNNING FOR GOVERNOR BECAUSE I WANT GEORGIA TO BE A STATE OF
REDEMPTION!
>> James: MORE WITH STACEY ABRAMS WHEN WE COME BACK,
♪♪♪ >> James: WELCOME BACK.
STACEY, WE HAVE BEEN DOINGS A THING, A "THE LATE LATE SHOW"
OTHERWISE GET TO SEE.
DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING TO SHARE?
>> I DO INDEED.
THIS IS A BOOK MY SIBLINGS AND I PUT TOGETHER TO CELEBRATE MY
PARENTS 45th ED WITHING ANNIVERSARY.
THESE ARE MY PARENTS ON THE COVER.
I WANTED TO SHOW THIS ONE BECAUSE WE JUST CELEBRATED THEIR
52nd ANNIVERSARY ON SUNDAY.
SO HAPPY ANNIVERSARY MOM AND DAD.
>> James: OH, MY GOODNESS, THAT'S INCREDIBLE!
52 YEARS!
WOW!
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING THAT, REGGIE.
DO YOU HAVE A QUESTION FOR OUR GUESTS THIS EVENING?
>> Reggie: I DO.
TONIGHT'S QUESTION GOES TO -- ( DRUM ROLL )
-- LET'S GO FOR STACEY ABRAMS.
>> James: OKAY.
>> Reggie: STACEY, DO YOU THINK ALL OF THE VOTER
SUPPRESSION STUFF THAT'S GOING ON IS A PRODUCT OF INSECURITY,
DO YOU THINK IT'S SHORT-SIGHTED OR LONG-SIGHTED?
WHAT'S THE FUNCTION OF IT?
IT DOESN'T SEEM VERY EFFICIENT.
>> IT'S LAZINESS.
VOTER SUPPRESSION IS THE EASIEST WAY TO WIN.
IF YOU WORK TO CONVINCE PEOPLE TO AGREE WITH YOU, THAT TAKES
TIME, EFFORT AND MONEY.
BUT STEALING THE RIGHT TO VOTE FROM THOSE WHO ARE MARGINALIZED
AND TOO DISADVANTAGED TO FIGHT BACK IS A LAZY WAY TO WINL
ELECTIONS.
>> Reggie: I CONCUR AND THAT'S CORRECT.
>> James: IT'S ABSOLUTELY CORRECT.
THANK STACEY ABRAMS.
J.P. SAXE AND MAREN MORRIS ARE HERE WHEN WE COME BACK.
♪♪♪ >> James: WE HAVE SO MANY
GREAT GUESTS COMING UP ON THE SHOW.

OUR NEXT GUEST IS A MULTI-PLATINUM SELLING
SINGER-SONGWRITER AND MUSICIAN.
HE'S NOMINATED FOR HIS FIRST GRAMMY FOR "SONG OF THE YEAR."
WE'RE SO EXCITED TO HAVE HIM WITH US.
PLEASE WELCOME THE SINGULAR THE DASHING, JP SAXE!
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) SO GOOD TO SEE YOU AGAIN.
NOMINATED FOR YOUR FIRST GRAMMY FOR SONG OF THE YEAR, THIS IS
HUGE, IT IS A MASSIVE CATEGORY.
TALK ME THROUGH, WHAT WAS YOUR REACTION WHEN YOU HEARD?
>> WELL, I WAS EXTREMELY EXCITED.
IT WAS THE LAST SONG NAMED IN THE LAST CATEGORY IN WHICH WE
WERE ELIGIBLE.
SO JULIE AND I WERE WATCHING THE NOMINATION BROADCAST, AND BY
THIS POINT WE JUST ACCEPTED WE WERE BEING VERY OPTIMISTIC,
OVERLY AMBITIOUS, WHY ARE WE EVEN WATCHING THIS.
THEN THEY CALLED OUR SONG NAME AND WE LOOKED APT EACH OTHER IN
SHOCK.
I THINK WE KISSED BUT IT WAS NOT VERY GOOD BECAUSE IT WAS TOO
ENTHUSIASTIC.
A MOMENT LIKE THAT.
WE WERE OVERJOYED.
WE CALLED OUR PARENTS.
IT WAS A REALLY BEAUTIFUL MOMENT.
>> James: THE SONG YOU'RE PERFORMING TONIGHT, "LINE BY
LINE," IS WITH MAREN MORRIS.
HOW DID THIS COLLABORATION COME ABOUT?
>> I TWEETED HOW MUCH I LOVED MAREN MORRIS' SONGS.
I DIDN'T SEE HER SEEING THAT TWEET AS A POSSIBILITY, BUT SHE
DID AND SHE RECIPROCATED THAT SHE LIKED MY SONGS, TOO, SO I
GOT ON A FLIGHT TO NASHVILLE AND WE GOT IN A ROOM TOGETHER, SPENT
TWO DAYS WRITING SONGS, THIS IS THE SECOND ONE WE WROTE.
>> James: THAT'S GREAT.
I'M SO HAPPY YOU DID, AND CONGRATULATIONS ON EVERYTHING,
AND BEST OF LUCK FOR THE GRAMMIALS.
>> THANK YOU.
>> James: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,
HERE MAKING THE TELEVISION DEBUT OF THEIR BRILLIANT SINGLE "LINE
BY LINE," PLEASE WELCOME JP SAXE AND MAREN MORRIS!
