WEBVTT

00:06.607 --> 00:07.340
>>> RIGHT NOW, FOR THE FIRST

00:07.375 --> 00:08.617
>>> RIGHT NOW, FOR THE FIRST

00:08.651 --> 00:11.169
TIME IN ALL OF AMERICAN HISTORY,

00:11.204 --> 00:12.987
WE HAVE A FEMALE VICE PRESIDENT

00:12.989 --> 00:14.951
ELECT, AND A RECORD NUMBER OF

00:14.985 --> 00:17.481
WOMEN ARE ON DECK TO SERVE IN

00:17.515 --> 00:19.018
THE NEXT CONGRESS INCLUDING A

00:19.019 --> 00:19.908
RECORD NUMBER OF REPUBLICAN

00:19.909 --> 00:20.741
WOMEN.

00:20.742 --> 00:23.261
FEMALE LAWMAKERS IN BOTH PARTIES

00:23.262 --> 00:25.617
ARE SET TO SHAPE WHAT COMES OUT

00:25.618 --> 00:27.346
OF WASHINGTON FOR YEARS TO COME,

00:27.381 --> 00:28.746
WHILE FEMALE VOTERS ARE SET TO

00:28.780 --> 00:29.679
KEEP SHAPING ELECTIONS.

00:29.681 --> 00:32.367
I WANT TO BRING IN THE FOUNDER

00:32.401 --> 00:34.297
OF ALL IN TOGETHER, AND THE

00:34.332 --> 00:36.535
CO-CREATOR OF "THE DAILY SHOW"

00:36.537 --> 00:38.121
AND THE FOUNDER OF ABORTION

00:38.122 --> 00:38.955
ACCESS FRONT.

00:38.957 --> 00:40.602
GOOD TO HAVE BOTH OF YOU.

00:40.636 --> 00:42.007
LAUREN, LET ME START WITH YOU.

00:42.041 --> 00:44.143
AN HISTORIC MOMENT FOR SURE BUT

00:44.144 --> 00:46.083
I WANT TO DIG INTO SOME OF THIS

00:46.084 --> 00:47.065
EXIT POLLING HERE.

00:47.067 --> 00:49.255
AMONG THE THINGS IT SHOWS IS

00:49.256 --> 00:51.371
THAT 57% OF FEMALE VOTERS PICKED

00:51.372 --> 00:54.049
JOE BIDEN, LARGELY DRIVEN BY

00:54.050 --> 00:55.807
BLACK WOMEN AND OTHER WOMEN OF

00:55.841 --> 00:56.133
COLOR.

00:56.168 --> 00:57.198
PRESIDENT TRUMP ACTUALLY

00:57.200 --> 01:00.949
IMPROVED THE AMOUNT OF SUPPORT

01:00.984 --> 01:03.379
HE RECEIVED FROM WOMEN.

01:03.414 --> 01:05.837
IN 2016 HE WON 53%.

01:05.838 --> 01:08.142
IN 2020 HE WON 55%, UP TWO

01:08.143 --> 01:09.506
POINTS FROM 2016.

01:09.508 --> 01:10.954
WHAT DROVE THAT INCREASE, DO WE

01:10.989 --> 01:13.999
SURMISE, IN SUPPORT AMONG WHITE

01:14.034 --> 01:15.711
WOMEN SPECIFICALLY?

01:15.745 --> 01:18.418
>> WE SAW THIS COMING, CRAIG,

01:18.453 --> 01:19.833
AND HAD TALKED EXTENSIVELY ABOUT

01:19.867 --> 01:21.468
THIS AND WRITTEN ABOUT THIS IN

01:21.502 --> 01:22.689
THE LEADUP TO THE ELECTION.

01:22.690 --> 01:24.391
THAT WAS SPECIFICALLY THE WHITE

01:24.426 --> 01:26.142
WOMEN WITHOUT COLLEGE DEGREES

01:26.176 --> 01:28.179
WHO WERE BREAKING FOR TRUMP IN

01:28.214 --> 01:29.240
REALLY SIGNIFICANT NUMBERS.

01:29.274 --> 01:32.354
WHERE YOU SEE THAT INCREASE,

01:32.355 --> 01:35.369
THAT INCREASE FROM 2016 IS

01:35.403 --> 01:37.516
REALLY DRIVEN BY THE 63% OF

01:37.551 --> 01:39.050
NONCOLLEGE EDUCATED WHITE WOMEN

01:39.051 --> 01:40.217
WHO VOTED FOR HIM.

01:40.218 --> 01:41.274
COLLEGE EDUCATED WHITE WOMEN

01:41.275 --> 01:43.049
CONTINUE TO SUPPORT THE

01:43.083 --> 01:45.113
DEMOCRATS UP AND DOWN THE TICKET

01:45.147 --> 01:47.853
AS THEY DID IN 2016.

01:47.854 --> 01:50.121
OVERALL WE SAW A HUGE INCREASE

01:50.123 --> 01:51.326
IN VOTER PARTICIPATION SO

01:51.328 --> 01:52.284
NUMBERS WENT UP ACROSS THE

01:52.285 --> 01:52.978
BOARD.

01:52.980 --> 01:54.925
WE WEREN’T SURPRISED, OUR POLLS

01:54.959 --> 01:56.292
INDICATED BEFORE THE ELECTION

01:56.293 --> 01:57.578
THAT THIS WAS A VERY LIKELY

01:57.612 --> 01:58.228
SCENARIO.

01:58.229 --> 02:00.453
>> LIZ, THERE IS AN ARTICLE IN

02:00.454 --> 02:01.934
"THE WASHINGTON POST" THAT

02:01.935 --> 02:03.363
CAUGHT MY EYE.

02:03.364 --> 02:05.646
"THE GENDER GAP WAS EXPECTED TO

02:05.648 --> 02:06.553
BE HISTORIC.

02:06.587 --> 02:08.740
INSTEAD, WOMEN VOTED MUCH AS

02:08.775 --> 02:09.826
THEY ALWAYS HAVE."

02:09.861 --> 02:11.268
SO LIZ, WITH EVERYTHING THAT

02:11.269 --> 02:14.444
WE’VE SEEN IN THE LAST FOUR

02:14.479 --> 02:17.026
YEARS, MASSIVE PANDEMIC, CHILD

02:17.060 --> 02:19.061
SEPARATIONS AT THE BORDER, AN

02:19.095 --> 02:20.231
IMPEACHMENT, ATTEMPTS TO ROLL

02:20.232 --> 02:21.217
BACK THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT,

02:21.219 --> 02:22.059
NOTHING SEEMS TO HAVE CHANGED IN

02:22.060 --> 02:25.927
A LOT OF VOTERS’ MINDS.

02:25.928 --> 02:26.306
WHY?

02:26.340 --> 02:28.328
>> WELL, YOU KNOW, WORKING AS WE

02:28.329 --> 02:30.654
DO ON THE FRONT LINES,

02:30.655 --> 02:31.821
ESPECIALLY AROUND REPRODUCTIVE

02:31.855 --> 02:35.913
HEALTH, ONE THING WE HAVE FOUND

02:35.947 --> 02:38.618
AT ABORTION ACCESS FRONT ARE THE

02:38.652 --> 02:39.977
INTERSECTIONS AROUND SINGLE

02:39.978 --> 02:41.806
FOCUSED ISSUES ESPECIALLY AROUND

02:41.807 --> 02:43.459
REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS.

02:43.493 --> 02:47.911
WITH EVERYTHING YOU JUST NAMED,

02:47.946 --> 02:50.825
WHETHER KIDS DETAINTED ANDED AND

02:50.860 --> 02:53.859
CAGES, THE PERSON WHO CAME UP

02:53.861 --> 02:58.063
WITH THAT POLICY WAS SOMEONE WHO

02:58.097 --> 03:00.334
CAME OUT OF THE ANTIREPRODUCTIVE

03:00.335 --> 03:00.978
RIGHTS CAMPAIGN.

03:00.979 --> 03:03.188
THERE ARE RECORD NUMBER OF

03:03.223 --> 03:04.972
PEOPLE WHO ARE ANTIABORTION

03:04.973 --> 03:07.006
ACTIVISTS WHO ARE RUNNING THOSE

03:07.040 --> 03:08.991
DEPARTMENTS AND IN SECOND LEVEL

03:08.993 --> 03:11.637
JOBS THERE THAT DO NOT COME WITH

03:11.672 --> 03:12.963
HEALTH EXPERIENCE BUT COME WITH

03:12.997 --> 03:13.555
ANTIABORTION ACTIVISM

03:13.556 --> 03:13.907
EXPERIENCE.

03:13.908 --> 03:15.641
WHEN YOU LOOK AT BLACK LIVES

03:15.643 --> 03:17.213
MATTER MOVEMENT, WHEN WE TALK

03:17.214 --> 03:19.944
ABOUT SYSTEMIC RACISM, WHAT THE

03:19.979 --> 03:21.964
OTHER SIDE WILL ARGUE IS PLANNED

03:21.999 --> 03:23.136
PARENTHOOD KILLS MORE BLACK

03:23.137 --> 03:25.610
BABIES THAN ANYONE ELSE.

03:25.612 --> 03:28.559
SO WE HAVE FOUND THAT THEY LEAD

03:28.593 --> 03:30.849
WITH ABORTION ALMOST EVERY

03:30.883 --> 03:33.416
SINGLE TIME AND THEY’RE PUTTING

03:33.417 --> 03:35.230
ANTIABORTION LEADERS IN PLACE IN

03:35.231 --> 03:36.571
ALL THESE SPACES AND THAT FEELS

03:36.572 --> 03:38.128
VERY ALARMING TO US.

03:38.163 --> 03:41.702
>> LAUREN, YOU WROTE AN OP-ED

03:41.736 --> 03:44.981
RECENTLY FOR "THE HILL" TITLED

03:44.982 --> 03:47.308
"WHY IT’S TIME FOR A MAJORITY

03:47.309 --> 03:48.420
FEMALE CABINET."

03:48.421 --> 03:50.139
WHAT PERSPECTIVE WOULD A

03:50.140 --> 03:52.526
MAJORITY FEMALE CABINET, WHAT

03:52.560 --> 03:54.622
PERSPECTIVE WOULD THAT GIVE

03:54.657 --> 03:56.410
PRESIDENT-ELECT JOE BIDEN, THAT

03:56.411 --> 03:57.679
HIS PREDECESSORS MAY NOT HAVE

03:57.680 --> 03:57.974
HAD?

03:57.976 --> 04:00.542
>> FIRST OF ALL, IT’S WAY PAST

04:00.543 --> 04:01.684
THE TIME.

04:01.718 --> 04:03.679
WOMEN ARE OVER 50% OF THE

04:03.680 --> 04:04.391
ELECTORATE.

04:04.425 --> 04:06.825
THEY’VE TURNED EVERY ELECTION

04:06.859 --> 04:08.873
SINCE 1980 AS THEY DID THIS

04:08.907 --> 04:09.640
ELECTION AS WELL.

04:09.641 --> 04:11.324
JOE BIDEN IS PRESIDENT BECAUSE

04:11.358 --> 04:13.087
OF TURNOUT OF WOMEN, DESPITE THE

04:13.122 --> 04:14.423
WOMEN, AS WE’VE TALKED ABOUT,

04:14.457 --> 04:16.025
WHO CONTINUE TO SUPPORT

04:16.059 --> 04:16.834
REPUBLICANS.

04:16.835 --> 04:19.314
LOOK, IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT WE

04:19.349 --> 04:20.678
CONTINUE BREAKING THE LAST GLASS

04:20.713 --> 04:22.013
CEILINGS IN OUR GOVERNMENT AS A

04:22.015 --> 04:23.352
MODEL FOR WHAT WE SHOULD BE

04:23.353 --> 04:24.973
DOING IN SOCIETY AS A WHOLE AND

04:24.974 --> 04:26.069
AS A MODEL FOR THE WORLD.

04:26.071 --> 04:27.116
IT IS EXTRAORDINARY AND

04:27.117 --> 04:29.198
HISTORIC, OF COURSE, THAT KAMALA

04:29.199 --> 04:30.733
HARRIS BECOMES THE FIRST FEMALE

04:30.734 --> 04:31.537
VICE PRESIDENT.

04:31.571 --> 04:33.099
BUT IT’S NOT ENOUGH.

04:33.101 --> 04:34.662
THERE ARE STILL FOUR POSITIONS

04:34.697 --> 04:36.289
IN THE PRESIDENTIAL CABINET THAT

04:36.291 --> 04:38.533
HAVE NEVER BEEN HELD BY WOMEN.

04:38.567 --> 04:40.900
WE HAVE AN EXTRAORDINARY ARRAY

04:40.902 --> 04:42.604
OF WOMEN WHO ARE HIGHLY

04:42.605 --> 04:44.042
QUALIFIED WOMEN, AND ESPECIALLY

04:44.076 --> 04:46.336
WOMEN OF COLOR, WHO ARE HIGHLY

04:46.337 --> 04:47.477
QUALIFIED FOR THOSE ROLES.

04:47.478 --> 04:49.341
THERE’S ONLY 14 NATIONS AROUND

04:49.342 --> 04:51.487
THE WORLD THAT HAVE EVER REACHED

04:51.521 --> 04:52.797
PARITY IN THE TOP MINISTERIAL

04:52.832 --> 04:53.112
POSITIONS.

04:53.113 --> 04:55.082
IF THERE WAS EVER A MOMENT AND

04:55.117 --> 04:56.285
AN OPPORTUNITY, THIS IS JOE

04:56.319 --> 04:58.051
BIDEN’S MOMENT TO DEMONSTRATE

04:58.053 --> 05:01.859
THAT IT’S NOT JUST THE ONE AND

05:01.894 --> 05:03.595
DONE, THAT KAMALA ALONE IS NOT

05:03.596 --> 05:04.906
ENOUGH, THAT WE HAVE TO PROVE TO

05:04.940 --> 05:06.921
WOMEN ACROSS THIS COUNTRY THAT

05:06.922 --> 05:08.388
THERE ARE NO LIMITS TO CHAIR

05:08.390 --> 05:08.727
ACHIEVEMENT.

05:08.728 --> 05:10.808
FRANKLY WE CAME UP WITH A LIST

05:10.842 --> 05:12.769
OF 30 OR 40 PEOPLE JUST

05:12.803 --> 05:15.013
SCRATCHING THE SURFACE, 30 TO 40

05:15.014 --> 05:16.832
WOMEN FOR EVERY SINGLE ONE OF

05:16.833 --> 05:17.660
THE CABINET POSITIONS.

05:17.694 --> 05:18.974
THE POINT IS HE HAS AN

05:18.975 --> 05:20.219
OPPORTUNITY, IT’S A MOMENT, IT’S

05:20.253 --> 05:21.329
TIME TO PROVE TO THE WORLD HOW

05:21.330 --> 05:23.721
SERIOUS WE REALLY ARE AS A

05:23.755 --> 05:25.182
NATION ABOUT EQUITY.

05:25.183 --> 05:29.284
>> I WISH WE HAD MORE TIME FOR

05:29.319 --> 05:30.973
THIS CONVERSATION, WE HAD SOME

05:30.974 --> 05:32.742
BREAKING NEWS IN THE HOUR.

05:32.743 --> 05:35.695
I HOPE YOU BOTH COME BACK.

05:35.730 --> 05:37.840
CATCH LIZ’S NEW STAND-UP SPECIAL
