'He's a liar': Governor Gavin Newsom blasts Trump over abortion stance

>>> THIS TIME LAST YEAR I SAT DOWN WITH GOVERNOR GAVIN NEWSOM IN A PLACE HE PROBABLY WOULD NOT EXPECT TO SEE THE GOVERNOR OF CALIFORNIA. WE MET UP IN MONTGOMERY, ALABAMA WHERE HE WAS SOUNDING THE ALARM ABOUT THE REPUBLICAN ROLLBACK OF INDIVIDUAL LIBERTIES IN GENERAL. SINCE THEN THINGS HAVE ONLY GOTTEN WORSE. RECENTLY A NEAR-TOTAL ABORTION BAN WAS REINSTATED IN ARIZONA AND IN ALABAMA THE SIDE OF THE CONVERSATION WITH THE GOVERNOR JUST A YEAR AGO HAS PAUSED THEM ON IVF TREATMENT. IT HAS HAD A LOT OF ATTENTION TO THE FACT THAT LIGHT MAKERS HAVE EVEN TRIED TO MAKE IT A CRIME TO FACILITATE OUT-OF- STATE ABORTIONS HAS NOT RECEIVED AS MUCH FOCUS AS IT DESERVES. HE IS STILL AT IT. TODAY RELEASING A SEARING NEW AD THAT WILL AIR IN ALABAMA AS AN EFFORT TO RAISE AWARENESS ABOUT THAT EXTREME LEGISLATION. NOW IN A BIG EXCLUSIVE WE ARE DEBUTING THAT AD FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME, AND I WILL WARN YOU IT IS DISTURBING BUT ALSO IMPORTANT TO WATCH. >> WE ARE ALMOST THERE. WE ARE GOING TO MAKE IT. >> TRUMP REPUBLICANS WANT TO CRIMINALIZE YOUNG ALABAMA WOMEN WHO TRAVEL FOR REPRODUCTIVE CARE. STOP THEM BY TAKING [e-mail]. >> JOINING ME NOW FROM A PLANNED PARENTHOOD CLINIC. GAVIN NEWSOM. I APPRECIATE YOU TAKING THE TIME. I WANT TO START WITH IS AND THAT I HAVE WATCHED MANY TIMES. IT IS INCREDIBLY CHILLING. JUST DEBUTED. IT WILL AIR IN ALABAMA. FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE OUT THERE THAT THINK THAT IS AN EXAGGERATION. THIS IS NOT REALLY GOING TO HAPPEN. WHAT YOU SAY TO THEM? >> I WOULD SAY LOOK AT WHAT IDAHO ALREADY DID. IT IS A LAW THAT IS IN EFFECT IN IDAHO. AND LAW THAT IS BEING ADVANCED NOT JUST IN ALABAMA BUT TENNESSEE AND OKLAHOMA AS WE SPEAK. SO MUCH ATTENTION HAS BEEN FOCUSED ELSEWHERE. OBVIOUSLY FOCUSED ON WHAT OCCURRED IN ARIZONA AS IT RELATES TO THAT LAW. NOT ENOUGH ATTENTION HAS BEEN PLACED ON THE FACT WE ARE NOT JUST CRIMINALIZING ACCESS TO REPRODUCTIVE CARE AND CERTAIN STAINS BUT NOW THEY'RE TRAVELING. >> WHICH IS IMPORTANT FOR PEOPLE TO UNDERSTAND. PEOPLE WHO ARE IN STATES AROUND CALIFORNIA LIKE ARIZONA WHO WANT TO COME ARE LOOKING IS A THREAT THAT PEOPLE NEED TO TAKE SERIOUSLY. I WANT TO TALK ABOUT ARIZONA BECAUSE FOR THE SECOND TIME IN TWO WEEKS REPUBLICANS IN ARIZONA EVEN AFTER THEY SAW ALL OF THE RESPONSE BLOCKED AN EFFORT TO REPEAL THE ABORTION BAN BASED ON THE LAW IN 1864. THIS TIME THERE WAS VIDEO OF REPUBLICANS ACTUALLY CHEERING ON THE FLOOR OF THE LEGISLATURE. WHAT WAS GOING THROUGH YOUR MIND WHEN YOU WATCH THAT? >> IT SICKENS YOU. I HAVE TWO YOUNG DAUGHTERS. THE FACT THEY WANT TO HAVE THE SAME RIGHTS THAT THEIR MOM AND DAD DID. THE SAME AS THEIR PARENTS HAD. THE FACT WE GO BACK TO THE TRAVEL POINT. 160,000 WOMEN THAT HAD TO LEAVE THEIR STATE. TO ACCESS REPRODUCTIVE CARE. THE FACT THAT NOW YOU HAVE THEM WANTING TO INCARCERATED FIVE YEARS UP TO LIFE THOSE WOMEN AND THOSE THAT SUPPORT THE WOMEN TO GET OUT OF THEIR RESPECTIVE STATES. THE FACT THAT WE NOW HAVE A BEEN GOING BACK TO 1864, AND THEY ARE CELEBRATING. I THOUGHT THE REPUBLICAN PARTY WANTED TO PUT A WRECKING BALL TO THE 21st CENTURY. NOW THEY WANT TO CREATE THE 19th CENTURY. IT IS CHILLING AND GOES WELL BEYOND THE ISSUE OF WOMEN'S REPRODUCTIVE CARE. THIS CONSEQUENTIAL MOMENT THAT ABSORBED MOST OF OUR FOCUS. THAT TEND TO GET A LITTLE MORE FOCUS AT THIS IMPORTANT MOMENT IN AMERICAN HISTORY. >> WHICH IS REALLY IMPORTANT. WHEN WE SAT DOWN IN ALABAMA ABOUT A YEAR AGO YOU KIND OF WARNED OF THIS. THAT THEY COULD BE GOING AFTER THEIR RIGHTS. CONTRACEPTION COULD BE NEXT. WHAT IS NEXT? WHAT SHOULD PEOPLE BE BRACING THEMSELVES FOR IF THESE POLITICS CONTINUE TO RUN AS THEY ARE? >> THEY HAVE BEEN ON A CULTURAL PURGE. CENSORING HISTORICAL FACTS AND REWRITING HISTORY. IT HAS HAPPENED OUT IN THE OPEN. NOT JUST RATES REGRESSIONS IN STATE BUT THE NATIONALIZATION OF RIGHTS BEING REGRESSED. EVERYBODY WATCHING KNOWS THAT IF HE BECOMES PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES HE WILL SIGN A NATIONAL ABORTION BAN. HE IS THE ONE THAT IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CONDITIONS THAT PERSIST TODAY. THOSE CONTINUE TO PERSIST AS IT RELATES TO THE RIGHTS THAT ARE BEING VANDALIZED BY THE UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT. >> WHAT YOU SAID STUCK OUT TO ME BECAUSE HE SAID HE WOULD NOT ASSIGN ONE AND LEANS INTO IT SHOULD BE UP TO THE STATE, WHICH IS LEAVING MILLIONS OF WOMEN ACROSS THE COUNTRY WITHOUT ACCESS TO ABORTION. IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU DO NOT BELIEVE HIM ON HIS CLAIM THAT. >> HE IS A LIAR. HE IS NOT TELLING YOU THE TRUTH. HE WILL SAY WHATEVER HE NEEDS TO SAY ON ANY DAY OF THE WEEK. GIVE ME A BREAK. HE HAS CREATED THESE CONDITION AND HAS CELEBRATED THOSE CONDITIONS. HE SAID HE WOULD CRIMINALIZE WOMEN. HE IS ON TAPE SAYING THESE THINGS. HE WILL SAY WHATEVER HE NEEDS TO SAY AT ANY GIVEN MOMENT. DO NOT THINK FOR A SECOND IF LINDSEY GRAHAM SENDS HIM A BILL THROUGH CONGRESS HE WON'T SIGN THAT. YOU KNOW HE WILL. EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT. YOU CANNOT TRUST THIS PERSON BY ANY STRETCH OF THE IMAGINATION. THESE CONDITIONS THAT PERSIST ARE MADE POSSIBLE BY ONE PERSON. DONALD TRUMP. MITCH McCONNELL HAS A LOT TO EXPLAIN AS WELL. THAT IS WHY I THINK WE HAVE TO BE MORE CLEAR AND CONCISE IN THE CONDEMNATION AND REMIND PEOPLE WHAT IS AT STAKE WITH THE SELECTION. I RECOGNIZE WHAT IS AT STAKE BECAUSE WE ARE ALREADY DEALING WITH THE ABSORPTION OF PEOPLE SEEKING REPRODUCTIVE CARE IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA. IT IS IMPORTANT JUST TO REMIND PEOPLE A THIRD OF PLAN PARENTHOOD PATIENTS IN AMERICA ARE IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA. NO STATE HAS MORE RESPONSIBILITY OR MORE OPPORTUNITY. A BIGGER BURDEN THAN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA. >> I WANT TO ASK ABOUT THE SENATE RACE. ANOTHER PERSON WHO IS ATTEMPTING TO SHIFT OR WHATEVER YOU WANT TO CALL IT IS ONE OF ARIZONA'S MORE WELL-KNOWN REPUBLICANS. SHE INITIALLY PRAISED THE ABORTION MEASURE AS A GREAT LAW BUT NOW SAYS THE SUPREME COURT DECISION TO REVIVE IT IS OUT OF STEP WITH THE PEOPLE OF HER STATE AND HAS BEEN JOKING ABOUT THEM PUTTING ON A SEPARATE BUT RELATED ISSUE. WHAT YOU MAKE OF HER EVOLVING STANCE ON THIS? >> A PERSON OF REMARKABLE CHARACTER AND CONVICTION WITH COMPELLING MORAL AUTHORITY THAT PUTS HER FINGER TO THE WIND AND MOVES WITH THE PREVAILING WINDS. PLEASE. HER INTEGRITY HAS THE FORM AND SUBSTANCE OF DARE I SAY. YOU SEE THE GOLDEN GATE BRIDGE BEHIND ME. I DO NOT TAKE MUCH OF WHAT SHE SAYS AT FACE VALUE. SHE BASICALLY SAID LAST WEEK THAT PEOPLE. DO NOT WORRY ABOUT ANY 1864 TANNINS IN ARIZONA. YOU CAN ALL GO TO CALIFORNIA OR A NEIGHBORING STATE
