I HAVE TO SAY THAT WAS AN INVALUABLE OUR THAT YOU JUST DELIVERED TO US. >> I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT. >>> JOE BIDEN, THE PRESIDENT WHO SOME SEEM TO THINK IS TOO OLD TO BE PRESIDENT, FLEW ACROSS THE ATLANTIC OCEAN FOUR TIMES IN A WEEK AND FIRST OF FRANCE TO ATTEND THE CEREMONIES COMMEMORATING THE DAY AND THEN BACK TO WASHINGTON AND THEN BACK ACROSS THE ATLANTIC TO ITALY FOR THE ALL-IMPORTANT G7 MEETING. AND THEN THE LONGEST LEG OF HIS FLIGHT SCHEDULE WAS FROM EUROPE BACK ACROSS THE ATLANTIC AND THIS TIME ALL THE WAY ACROSS THE COUNTRY TO LOS ANGELES. WHERE ON SATURDAY NIGHT, WHEN I WOULD HAVE BEEN PROHIBITIVELY JETLAGGED TO EVEN SPEAK, PRESIDENT BIDEN AND AN APPEARANCE WITH HIS MOST IMPORTANT FRIEND IN POLITICS, PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA, LAID OUT THE STAKES IN THESE -- THIS PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION. >> THIS PRESIDENT WHAT HE DID ON JANUARY 6, TO HEAR WHAT HE IS SAYING NOW AND IF HE SAID HE DOESN'N WILL BE A BLOODBATH AND IT'S OUTRAGEOUS WHAT HE IS TALKING ABOUT. >> IF DONALD TRUMP DOES WIN THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE, HE HAS PROMISED PARDONS AND IMMEDIATE RELEASES FROM PRISON TO ALL THE PEOPLE WHO VIOLENTLY ATTACKED THE U.S. CAPITAL WHO TRIED TO OVERTURN THE ELECTION AND THE GREATEST SINGLE CRIME EVER COMMITTED AGAINST DEMOCRACY IN AMERICAN HISTORY NOW HAS THE FULL AND OPEN PUBLIC SUPPORT OF ONE OF OUR PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES, WHO JUST HAPPENS TO ALSO BE A CRIMINAL DEFENDANT ACCUSED OF BEING THE LEAD CONSPIRATOR IN THAT CRIME AGAINST AMERICAN DEMOCRACY LEADING UP TO AND ON JANUARY 6. ON SATURDAY NIGHT, PRESIDENT BIDEN HEIGHTEN THE STAKES IN THE ELECTION BY POINTING OUT SOMETHING THAT WE ALL SHOULD HAVE SEEN AS OBVIOUS BEFORE PRESIDENT BIDEN SAID IT. AND HE SAID IF DONALD TRUMP WINS THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE AGAIN, HE WILL BE IN A POSITION TO IMMEDIATELY APPOINT AT LEAST TWO EXTREME REPUBLICAN MEMBERS OF THE SUPREME COURT WHO WILL NEED TO EXTEND THE LIFE OF THE TRUMP COURT FOR ANOTHER 40 YEARS. >> THESE THREATS TO BIRTH CONTROL AND IVF ARE NOT IN OUR LIBERAL IMAGINATIONS ANYMORE. THEY ARE REALLY REAL AND THESE DECISIONS, THESE VERY PERSONAL INTIMATE DECISIONS ARE NOW BEING MADE BY NINE UNELECTED JUDGES, ONE OF WHO FLIES HIS FLAG UPSIDE DOWN AND ONE OF THE OTHERS DRIVES AROUND IN A $267,000 GIFT ON VACATIONS. I DO THINK WE ARE WONDERING WHAT CAN WE DO ABOUT THIS. >> ELECT ME AGAIN. I TELL YOU WHY. AND I AM NOT JUST SAYING THAT. THE NEXT PRESIDENT IS LIKELY TO HAVE TWO NEW SUPREME COURT NOMINEES, TWO MORE. HE HAS ALREADY APPOINTED TWO THAT HAVE BEEN VERY NEGATIVE IN TERMS OF THE RIGHTS OF THE INDIVIDUALS AND THE IDEA THAT IS HE REELECTED, HE WILL APPOINT TWO MORE WITH FLYING FLAGS UPSIDE DOWN IS REALLY -- REALLY MEAN THIS. >> COULD THIS BE THE SCARIEST PART OF ALL OF IT? >> I THINK IT IS ONE OF THE SCARIEST PARTS. THE SUPREME COURT HAS NEVER BEEN AS OUT OF KILTER AS IT IS TODAY. NEVER. I TALKED CONSTITUTIONAL LAW FOR NINE YEARS AND THIS GUY KNOWS MORE ABOUT IT THAN MOST. THE FACT OF THE MATTER IS, THIS IS NEVER BEEN A COURT THAT HAS BEEN THIS FAR OUT OF STEP. BY THE WAY, WHEN WE SAID, AFTER THE DECISION THAT OVERRULED ROE V. WADE, THE DOBBS DECISION, YOU HAD CLARENCE THOMAS TALKING ABOUT THE FACT THAT THERE WILL BE OTHER THINGS WE SHOULD RECONSIDER INCLUDING IN VITRO FERTILIZATION AND INCLUDING CONTRACEPTION AND INCLUDING ALL THESE THINGS. AND BY THE WAY,RIGHTS. BY THE WAY, NOT ON MY WATCH. NOT ON MY WATCH. >> HERE IS THE OUTLINE OF THE TWO JUDGE DEAL HE WAS TALKING ABOUT. CLARENCE THOMAS IS 75 AND HE DOESN'T LOOK ESPECIALLY HEALTHY. HE DOESN'T LOOK LIKE HE LIKES HIS JOB. HE HAS ALREADY BEEN IDENTIFIED AS THE MOST CORRUPT SUPREME COURT JUSTICE IN HISTORY GIVEN NONE HAS ACTUALLY BEEN ACCUSED OF A CRIME BUT CLARENCE THOMAS VIOLATES ETHICAL STANDARDS AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE RULES THAT AN UNPRECEDENTED LEVEL THAT MAKES THEM THE SUPREME COURT JUSTICE WHO HAS FINANCIALLY EXPLOITED HIS POSITION AT THE SUPREME COURT JUSTICE MORE THAN ANY OTHER JUSTICE IN HISTORY. NOBODY ELSE IS CLOSE. HOW MUCH MONEY WOULD IT TAKE TO GET THE 75-YEAR-OLD CLARENCE THOMAS TO RESIGN FROM THE SUPREME COURT SO DONALD TRUMP COULD REPLACE HIM WITH JUDGE EILEEN MERCEDES CANNON WHO COULD SERVE 40 YEARS ON THE SUPREME COURT AFTER SHE DISMISSES THE CHARGES AGAINST DONALD TRUMP IN THE CRIMINAL CASE THAT JACK SMITH HAS BROUGHT AGAINST DONALD TRUMP FOR VIOLATIONS OF THE ESPIONAGE ACT WHICH JUDGE CANNON WOULD ABSOLUTELY DO AS SOON AS POSSIBLE IF DONALD TRUMP WON THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE AND HE WOULDN'T EVEN HAVE TO ASK HER TO DO THAT. CLARENCE THOMAS WON'T JUST GET A BRAND-NEW MOTORHOME FOR RESIGNING FROM SUPREME COURT. THEY WILL GIVE HIM A PRIVATE JET AND THEY WILL GIVE HIM WHATEVER IT TAKES. CLARENCE THOMAS WILL LIVE THE LIFE OF AN ULTRA RICH MAN FOR THE REST OF HIS LIFE, THE LIFE HE HAS ALWAYS WANTED TO LIVE, THE RICH MAN'S LIFE. AND THEN THERE IS 74-YEAR-OLD SAMUEL ALITO, WHO WOULD BE SIMILARLY CONVINCED WITH SIMILAR FINANCIAL INDUCEMENTS TO LEAVE THE SUPREME COURT SO HE TOO COULD BE REPLACED BY A 40-YEAR-OLD REPUBLICAN RIGHT WING EXTREMIST, WHO WOULD EXTEND THE TRUMP COURTS RULE ANOTHER 40 YEARS. YES, YOUR BOAT MEANS POSSIBLY 40 MORE YEARS CONTROL OF THE SUPREME COURT. SAMUEL ALITO'S WIFE WOULD THEN BE FREE AFTER HER HUSBAND LEFT THE COURT TO YELL ANYTHING SHE WANTS THAT HER NEIGHBORS, BUT SHE MIGHT THEN BE RICH ENOUGH TO LIVE IN A GATED COMMUNITY THAT WOULD BLOCK HER OFF FROM MANY EXPOSURE TO ANYONE OTHER THAN EXTREMIST TRUMP REPUBLICANS WHO SHARE HER VIEWS OF FLAGS INCLUDING HER PUBLICLY EXPRESSED UTTER HATRED OF PRIDE FLAGS AND THAT IS A VERY EASY TO JUDGE DEAL FOR DONALD TRUMP AND RICH REPUBLICANS TO EXECUTE. AT THE EVENT ON SATURDAY, PRESIDENT OBAMA SAID THIS. >> THE POWER OF THE SUPREME COURT IS DETERMINED BY APPOINTMENTS. IT IS DETERMINED BY ELECTIONS. AND, SO, WHAT WE SEE NOW IS A BYPRODUCT OF, IN 2016, THERE WERE A WHOLE BUNCH OF FOLKS WHO, FOR WHATEVER REASON, SAT OUT. THEY SAID, WELL, WE ARE NOT ENTHUSIASTIC ENOUGH. WE ARE NOT FEELING INSPIRED ENOUGH. WHY BOTHER? HOPEFULLY, WE HAVE LEARNED HER LESSON. BECAUSE THESE ELECTIONS MATTER IN VERY CONCRETE WAYS. WE ARE NOW SEEING HOW MUCH IT MATTERS WHEN IT COMES TO THE SUPREME COURT. >> NOT INSPIRED ENOUGH. ONE OF THE CONDITIONS THAT THE BIDEN/HARRIS CAMPAIGN KNOWS THEY ARE FACING IS SOME DEGREE OF WHAT PRESIDENT OBAMA WAS JUST TALKING ABOUT AND SOME DEGREE OF VOTER APATHY WHICH EXISTS BECAUSE JOE BIDEN HAS BROUGHT SANITY BACK TO THE PRESIDENCY. SOME VOTERS DON'T APPEAR WE REMEMBER HOW BAD IT WAS UNDER THE TRUMP PRESIDENCY. AND BECAUSE OF THE NORMALCY OF THE BIDEN PRESIDENCY, SOME OF THE VOTERS HAVE NOT HAD MUCH REASON TO PAY MUCH ATTENTION TO THE ACTUAL ACCOMPLISHMENTS OF THE BIDEN PRESIDENCY. WHEN PRESIDENT OBAMA GETS OUT ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL, THIS IS WHAT THOSE VOTERS WILL BE HEARING FROM HIM. >> I HAVE TALKED ABOUT THIS BEFORE. I HAVE TALKED ABOUT THIS BEFORE. AT ITS BEST, THE PRESIDENCY IS A RELAY RACE, RIGHT? YOU TAKE THE BATON. YOU RUN THE RACE AND WE GET THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT STARTED. BUT WE DID KNOW AT THE TIME THAT EVEN THOUGH 20 MILLION PEOPLE WERE GETTING HEALTH INSURANCE FROM IT THAT DIDN'T HAVE IT BEFORE, THERE WERE SOME PEOPLE WHO ARE HAVING TROUBLE AFFORDING IT BECAUSE WE COULDN'T FUND ALL THE SUBSIDIES THE PEOPLE NEEDED. JOE COMES IN AND BOOSTS THE SUBSIDIES WHICH MEANS MILLIONS MORE PEOPLE ARE ABLE TO ACCESS HEALTHCARE AND THEY COULD HAVE SOME SECURITY AND ON CLIMATE CHANGE WE FUND CLEAN ENERGY AT RECORD LEVELS WHEN WE FIRST CAME INTO OFFICE, JOE AND I TOGETHER. WE MOVED FORWARD IN TERMS OF MAKING SURE THAT FUEL EFFICIENCY STANDARDS ON CARS HAVE CHANGED. WE GOT THE PARIS ACCORD DONE. THAT ISN'T ENOUGH TO DEAL WITH THE SIZE AND SCOPE OF THE CHALLENGES WE FACE. JOE COMES IN AND MAKES HISTORIC INVESTMENTS IN CLEAN ENERGY. SO I DO TAKE GREAT PRIDE IN WHAT THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION HAS ACCOMPLISHED. AND IT IS A REMINDER THAT WE DON'T HAVE TO JUST VOTE AGAINST SOMETHING IN THIS ELECTION. WE HAVE SOMEBODY TO WORRY ABOUT, AND THERE IS A WHOLE AGENDA WE SHOULD BE CONCERNED ABOUT. BUT WE CAN TAKE PRIDE IN AFFIRMING THE EXTRAORDINARY WORK JOE
