Transcripts For CNNW New Day Weekend With Victor Blackwell A

Ginsburg. Its saturday, september 19th. Im victor blackwell. Im christi paul. I want to let you know Justice Ginsburg died yesterday from complications of pancreatic cancer. She was 87. This morning youll see flags flying at halfstaff here at the white house. That same honor ordered at the capitol and Supreme Court as well. Crowds gathered for a vigil on the step of the high court after this news broke last night. Well be looking over this morning this rich legacy she left behind and what will happen with the seat left on the court. This race has intensified. Well have more on the political fights that are ahead in a moment but were going to start with jessica schneider. She has a look at ginsburgs life and the great tenacity she was known for who earned the nickname the notorious rbg. Reporter Ruth Baden Ginsburg rose from billion to the highest court was a classic american story. What is the difference between a bookkeeper in new yorks Garment District and the Supreme Court justice . Just one generation, my mothers life and mine bear witness. Where else but in america could that happen. Reporter she was smart, tied for first in her class at columbia law school. In late 50s and early 60s the Glass Ceiling stood firm. Three strikes against her. First she was a woman, second she was jewish and third she had a child. Very much with the model of the Naacp Legal Defense Fund led by Thurgood Marshal. Reporter in 1980 ginsburg became a federal Appellate Court judge. 13 years later she was named to the Supreme Court by president clinton. The second woman on the bench. Sandra day oconner was glad to see her. It wasnt seven and then the women. And it was a great relief to me. Reporter as a justice, ginsburg voted in favor of Abortion Access and civil rights, perhaps her best known work on the court writing the 1996 landmark decision to strike down the Virginia Military institutes ban on admitting women. She was also known 0 for her bold dissent, like stopping the 2000 florida recount. And ended the contraception mandate for some businesses under the Affordable Care act. In our opinion the court does not comprehend or is indifferent to the insidious way in which women can be victims of paid discrimination. Reporter in 2007 the court ruled against legdbetter. Then the ledbetter fair pay act was the first law obama signed into law. Steven colbert discovered that the hard way trying to keep up with rbgs tough work outs. Im working without an 85yearold woman. Reporter ginsburg hired a trainer after Colorectal Cancer in late 90s. Then they discovered cancerous growth on her lung. The surgery was successful but the recovery caused her to miss oral arguments at the Supreme Court for first time in her career. She was treated several times for pancreatic cancer but stayed up on her court work after losing her husband of 56 years to cancer, ginsburg was back on the bench the next morning. I love the work that i do. I think i have the best job in the world for a lawyer. I respect all my colleagues and genuinely like most of them. Reporter her best friend on the bench was the late justice antonin scalia, her opposite. Whats not to like . Except her views on the law, of course. Reporter they shared a laugh about ginsburg drinking wine before nodding off at the state of the union. I was 100 sober because before we went to the state of the union we had dinner together and Justice Kennedy thats the first intelligencely thing youve done. Reporter shes gained rockstar status among millennials. I would would one day become the notorious rbg. Reporter the nickname was a play on the rapper notorious b. I. G. There were books, clothing, tatoos and a praying mantis in her honor. There was a featured film on the basis of sex and a documentary produced by cnn. Rbg was an unexpected Box Office Hit and gave the justice a larger platform to share her life long mission of gender equality. People ask me sometimes when will be enough for me on the court and my answer is, when there are nine. She left such a profound impact on the court itself and as we look ahead, whoever ultimately takes her seat could certainly shift the balance of the court for decades to come. Her granddaughter told npr days before her death as she lost her strength Justice Ginsburg dictated this statement. My most fervent wish is that i will not be replaced until a new president is installed. The president isnt hesitating. Debates are already raging what the replacement should be nominated before election. The president was speaking at a rally in minnesota, already on stage, apparently he was not aware of the news and how this campaign has shifted. Cnn joe johns is at the white house. We heard from the president as soon as he left that stage. Reporter thats right. I think you can say that we really have seen at least so far and its only been a few hours a notable amount of decorum from what has been so far a norm shattering presidency. No word from the president. No talk at least last night about the fact that he and his administration have been planning for a longtime for the eventuality that another vacancy would open up on the Supreme Court and President Trump would have to fill it really over the last week or two. The president putin out what has been his running list of possible nominees for the court, but last night as you said, victor, the president was speaking at a rally in minnesota when the news broke, apparently did not find out about it until afterwards. He spoke to reporters then. And quite frankly ignored questions about replacing Justice Ginsburg but did have a lot of praise for her. Listen. She just died . Wow. I didnt know that. Im hearing it for the first time. She led an amazing life. What else can you say . She was an amazing woman whether you agreed or not, she was an amazing woman who led an amazing life. Im sad to hear that. Im sad to hear that. Thank you very much. The white house later put out a statement once again praising Justice Ginsburg. No talk about her replacement but behindthescenes its very clear they are planning to name someone to replace her on the court. The president sal ir salivating because name someone pleasing to religious conservatives could be a big plus to the president politically 46 days from the election. Especially because religious conservatives have a top issue of overturning roe v. Wade and that line of cases legalizing abortion over the years. Mitch mcconnell was not quite as subtle as the president and administration. He too put out a statement praising Justice Ginsburg but the end of the statement making clear that the United States senate will give a vote to the president s nominee to replace her. The question, of course, will be the timing on that, whether it might occurrtobe occur before o election and it will be very difficult over the next 46 days to get someone up and theres a question, of course, about the republicans on the Senate Judiciary committee, some of whom are in tough reelection battles, including senator Lindsey Graham and how all of this might work to their favor or to their disadvantage. So were just going to have to see what happens here at the white house. The betting, of course, is the president will at least float a name of the nominee and well see how it plays out in the senate. Back to you. Joe johns thank you so much. Now democratic president ial nominee joe biden. He spoke about ginsburg last night. He said she was fierce and unflinching in her pursuit of civil rights. Biden also addressed Mitch Mcconnells pledge to hold a vote for whoever President Trump nominates as a replacement. Listen to this. Let me be clear, that the voters should take the president and the president should take the justice for the senate to consider. This was the position the Republican Senate took in 2016, almost ten months to go before the election. Thats the position the United States senate must take today, and the election is only 46 days off. So joe was talking about that. Lauren fox with us from capitol hill. These two gop senators said theres not enough time to confirm a new justice before election. Will Mitch Mcconnell have enough support is the question to hold a vote . Reporter hypo he they at i one thing. Well be keeping an eye on Susan Collins and murkowski. Mitch mcconnell making it very clear his plan is to have a vote within the year on the president s nominee. Now there are two ways this could go. Either it can happen before the election or it can happen after, sources im talking to say its much more likely this will happen during the lame duck session on capitol hill. After the election when lawmakers would return from the campaign trail. But here are some of the obstacle for that. One of them is what happens if the balance of power shifts in the senate . If democrats take the majority republicans will still have the votes until january but will some moderate republicans feel like its inappropriate to try to rush in a nominee for the Supreme Court, change the balance of the court if they were not elected by voters. Same goes if donald trump loses the white house and they come back for that lame duck session. Thats why some conservatives behindthescenes im told are trying to push the majority leader to do this before the election. Now thats complicating for people like Corey Gardner running for reelection in colorado as well as thom tillis in colorado, Susan Collins in maine running for reelection. A lot of options on the table right now. Mitch mcconnell will be having conversations with his members on the phone and in person in this upcoming week so thats something to look for on control. Democrats already urging republicans to put on the brakes. Heres what Amy Klobuchar said yesterday on cnn. Her wishes should be granted and she said my most fervent wish, this was right before her death, my most fervent wish is i will not be replaced until a new president is installed. Reporter Mitch Mcconnell last night giving a message to his conference members. He said keep your powder dry. Dont lock yourself aiming that message at a handful of republican senators because if they do this, after the election, in lame duck and they maintain the same power that they have right now, what we expect to see is that Mitch Mcconnell can only lose three republican members. If he loses a fourth he doesnt get that nominee. That can all be complicated if something changes in arizona, thats a special election. The democrat could be installed early. Then Mitch Mcconnell has even less room for error. Thanks so much. We got this breaking news out of rochester, new york. Two people are dead, 14 are wounded. This is after a shooting on the east side of the city. According to rochesters police chief, 16 people were shot. This was at a party. Officers when they arrived there they found chaos, about 100 people running around. The shooting victims were the taken to the hospitals with nonlife threatening injuries. Police say there are currently no suspects. Of course nonlife threatening injuries for those 14, two dead. When we come back, we are covering the passing of justice Ruth Baden Ginsburg, of course. How her vacancy is about to set up a major fight between democrats and republicans as were just 45 days together here until the election. newscaster coogans is closing in 4 months. The restaurant and watering hole that catered to so many including the staff. announcer mr. Peter walsh. Peter. peter walsh people came and they met and they felt comfortable. Its what we did with coogans. You felt safe and, if you were safe, you could be joyful. And, if you were joyful, then you could really go home with the dream that you had. woman 1 really, really fun times. man 1 you just end up there for hours. woman 2 its like the heart of the community. man 2 coogans is a special place for me. peter walsh everybody has a coogans. And in the next three months, almost half those small businesses, they could close if people dont do something. We have to keep our communities together. Thats how we get through this. Proof i can fight moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis. Proof i can fight psoriatic arthritis. With humira. Proof of less joint pain. And clearer skin in psa. Humira targets and blocks a source of inflammation that contributes to joint pain and irreversible damage. Humira can lower your ability to fight infections. Serious and sometimes fatal infections, including tuberculosis, and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened, as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. Tell your doctor if youve been to areas where certain fungal infections are common and if youve had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flulike symptoms or sores. Dont start humira if you have an infection. Humira is proven to help stop further joint damage,. And its the 1prescribed biologic for psa. Want more proof .

With safety and tech to keep you connected. Supported by a fivestar sales, service and finance team. And backed by the one star you know. So, go the extra mile. Its never crowded because so few have what it takes to go there. Mercedesbenz vans. Overnight more reaction to the passing of Supreme Court justice Ruth Baden Ginsburg has come in. This is from obama, part of his statement. For nearly three decades as the second woman ever to sit on the highest court in the land she was a warrior for gender equality, someone who believed that equal justice under the law only had meaning if it applied over tory single american. He went on to say this. Justice ginsburg helped us see discrimination on the basis of sex is not an abstract idea. Senate majority leader Mitch Mcconnell said President Trumps to replace Ruth Baden Ginsburg will get a vote in the senate. With us now to talk about that, errol lewis and shan wu. Lets talk about the reversal that were seeing from senate republicans, this hour it is Lindsey Graham. This was after the confirmation of kavanaugh before he became chairman of Senate Judiciary. Here he is in 2018. If an opening comes up in the last year of President Trumps term, and the primary process has started, well wait until the next election. I got a pretty good chance youre on the record. The yeah. All right. Hold the tape. We held it, mr. Chairman. Question, errol, what does it mean . What it means is i think youll see what i would call is in plaque flips including Lindsey Graham who will say and do whatever the white house want them to say and do. The real reaction is from the white house trying to figure out what thom knee will most help donald trump get reelected. In other words if he floats a name of someone, possibly a woman, who conservatives love, it would be an excellent tool for him to get his base organized and enthusiastic and compared to that the senators inincluding those up for reelection like Lindsey Graham will be expected to fall in line to support that strategy and try the best they can to make the november election not about the pandemic, not about the mass unemployment, not about the uprising for Racial Justice thats still going on all over the country but try to make about it the long term conservative agenda of stacking the Supreme Court with the people who are going to do what they want to do. So i think thats what youre going see and compared to that large objective, getting the president reelected, getting the conservative agenda for next generation enshrined, the fact you can share videotape of people being hypocrites will not mean very much to republican senators like Lindsey Graham. Senator ted cruz spoke about this last night and what he believed the president should do. Heres what he said. I believe the president should next week nominate a successor to the court. I think its critical that the senate takes up and confirms that successor before election day. How realistic is that timeline hes proposing . Well, they have the power to do that. I think it will be a little bit of a crush to do that actually before election day. They got the votes to do it and the power to do it so they could push it through. Let me stay with you, and you told our producer about the impact of the dissension, dissent from Justice Ginsburg and thats for many ways what she will be remembered for. Expound on that. She was a very brilliant advocate herself. She pushed for womens rights through trying to advocate for male rights, situations like where Social Security benefitted the females because they felt they couldnt earn enough. When she got on the court, of course, the decision she made was the Justice Ginsburg<\/a> died yesterday from complications of pancreatic cancer. She was 87.

Let me stay with you, and you told our producer about the impact of the dissension, dissent from Justice Ginsburg<\/a> and thats for many ways what she will be remembered for. Expound on that. She was a very brilliant advocate herself. She pushed for womens rights through trying to advocate for male rights, situations like where Social Security<\/a> benefitted the females because they felt they couldnt earn enough. When she got on the court, of course, the decision she made was the Virginia Military<\/a> Academy Decision<\/a> where she basically struck their single sex policy down saying it was unconstitutional. It was her dissents that resonate and will through teena the ages. She said it made no sense that clock began running on that only when the employee discovered that the pay discrimination rather the moment they got their first paycheck. Similarly when she was dissenting about the shelby case she also gave a very strong statement if revoking Martin Luther<\/a> king. She called out congress and they did act because the fair pay act was the first bill obama signed. Errol, were all waking up this morning to a very delicate balance of the bench that did not exist 24 hours ago. How likely is it, and the is there a sense that democrats may try to expand the number of justices on the bench depending on what happens in election and in any potential nomination here . Extraordinary move, but it will be up to the democratic leadership to decide if the peril of losing a majority, supermajority, really for a long, longtime is worth the disruption that would follow. It would be tremendously disruptive not just to the legal system but to the political system to suddenly expand or pack the court. It would, i think, complete the transformation of the Supreme Court<\/a> into one more Political Branch<\/a> of government. And you would then expect the number of justices to go up or down depending on who was in charge of the court and who was in charge of the senate, and it would be a step that you really cant come back from. So what weve relied on up until now has been for both parties to nominate people and to approve justices who are somewhat in the middle of the road, something people can agree with, more conservative than i would like, more liberal than i like, but generally there to support institution as weve known it for generations. I would be very surprised if democrats were willing to overturn that apple cart and move forward, especially if democrats win the white house. Thats a pretty big prize. Lots of jobs to go around. Their Political Energy<\/a> will then focus on that as opposed to expanding the Supreme Court<\/a>. Errol, does this help the president . We know it energizes his base. Does it help the voters he needs to excite and energize beyond evangelicals, white women without a college he degree, white women in the suburbs, are they energized by this fight . Those are the poll numbers i want to see, victor, you put your finger right on it. Will stoking the base around some of these cultural issues in particular is what save the president s currently flagging campaign. Thats the question. Will people come out, you know and look republicans generally have supported the president in huge numbers in part because of the Supreme Court<\/a>. He himself, of course, is not a cultural conservative by his acts or deeds or biography but certainly named judge after judge by the dozen, possibly by the hundreds depending on how you couldnt it who are delightful to the republican base. Will this help get them out . Its entirely unclear. On the other hand, victor, you know the kind of folks that youre talking about who are not necessarily affected by any Supreme Court<\/a> decision they can be affected by the ads paid for by the cultural conservatives many who are wealthy who want to pour tens of millions of drs. To push this not because they care beyond a narrow band of issues but that can help tilt this election and thats what well see in the next few weeks. Were always great to have your voices on with us.

[ applause ] former president bill clinton there over the late justices shoulder. He nominated her in 1993. His statement on her passing, we have lost one of the most extraordinary justices ever to serve on the Supreme Court<\/a>. Ruth baden ginsburgs life and landmark opinions moved us closer to a more Perfect Union<\/a> and her powerful dissents reminded us we walkway from our constitutions promise at our peril. As a fighter for justice, was established before her appointment to the Supreme Court<\/a>. She worked as a lawyer, Appealate Court<\/a> judge. And we have more. Reporter she was extraordinary fighter for womens rights and, you know, anderson, when bill clinton selected her nobody thought, you know, she would be picked in 1993. You know, they were looking when byron white was going to be retiring and the thought was it would be breyer. But Hillary Clinton<\/a> knew about Ruth Baden Ginsburg<\/a>. She was so influenced by Ruth Baden Ginsburg<\/a> and she told her husband, bill clinton, really look at her, shes something extraordinary. Theres a funny story because bill clinton didnt want the press seeing it so told ginsburg to come in on a sun evening to the white house but be incognito, wear regular clothes. There was bill clinton watching a Football Game<\/a> all dressed in a suit and tie and she was like in lounge clothes and she was deeply embarrassed. But it took bill clinton about ten minutes to realize that Hillary Clinton<\/a> was right that this was the winner. And he went to bat for her. We have to remember when bill clinton picked Ruth Baden Ginsburg<\/a>, there had been republicans in white house for 12 prior years but this was a big thing. Every year, month by month as a Supreme Court<\/a> justice just grew into the legend we knew and bill clinton told me that over the summer when he had her once come in to the Clinton Library<\/a> in arkansas she had so many people waiting, like 15,000, fans in arkansas that they had to remove her from the president ial library to gate sports arena because of her popularity was so great. So when we look at some of bill clinton great moves as president , picking her, surely was one of them. Well go live to the Supreme Court<\/a> now. She knew gender inequality and discrimination well. That is the reason that maybe she fought so hard and i know as a woman and a lot of woman now watching, looking at the court, you really feel her absence. Help us understand the enormity of that. Reporter right. Youre absolutely right because even before she made it to the Supreme Court<\/a> she was this legal pioneer when it came to gender discrimination. As a young woman she would go across the country and she would knock out these laws that treated men and women differently. That was her key. Its much like what Thurgood Marshal<\/a> did for race. But also i covered her for over a decade as a young mother and i would listen to her message over and over again and the message was, is women can have it all but maybe not all at the same time. She really pressed that forward over the years. At times its been difficult to keep up with her, i have to say, because she really did a lot of these appearances. She wanted women to see her not only on the bench but to engaging conversations and last night i was talking to a lot of her clerks and they said, you know, working for her was so interesting because she was a night owl. She would stay up all night sometimes, once she wrote an opinion and got released the next morning but she was very clear with her clerks many who were raising small children to figure out the system that worked for her. Of course, she became the iconic person and that doesnt happen with justices very often. There were teachers who said you cant have truth without ruth and i remember interviewing a woman who had her image tattooed on her. Thats how much she meant to her. She was nominated in 1993 by bill clinton. She became that senior most liberal vote on the court on issues like abortion, affirmative action, she was most proud of a majority of women when she struck down an all male university. She cared about Voting Rights<\/a>. These last two were dissents because she was often in dissent. It was very powerful when the majority struck down a major portion of the Voting Rights<\/a> act. She inspired people. That started on the court. I saw Justice Kagen<\/a> with stars in her eyes what ginsburg did for kagen because she didnt have the struggles coming up in the law that Ruth Baden Ginsburg<\/a> did. Last night chief Justice Roberts<\/a> issued a statement about Ruth Baden Ginsburg<\/a> and its so strong. He said our nation has lost a jurist of historic the stature. We at the Supreme Court<\/a> have lost a cherished colleague. Today we mourn but with confidence that future generations will remember Ruth Baden Ginsburg<\/a> as we knew her, a tireless and resolute champion of justice. Thats what the chief justice said last night in announcing her passing. All right. Thanks so much. Do stay with us. We have more for you on Supreme Court<\/a> justice Ruth Baden Ginsburg<\/a>. I want to let you listen to her talking about her mother who passed away when they have just 17 years old. My mother died when i was 17. I wish i could have had her longer. She had two lessons that she repeated over and over. Be a lady. And be independent. Dont allow yourself to be overcome by useless emotions like anger and by independence she meant it would be fine if you met prince charming and lived happily ever after. But be able to fend for yourself. For one strange time in our lives, got very quiet. Some lost work and invented new ways to get by. Others were busier than ever, and found strength they never knew they had. We sheltered with the people who matter most, sometimes finding how far apart wed drifted. We worried over loved ones, over money, over our planet. And over takeout. And we found a voice one the noise out there had kept quiet. When the world starts spinning again, lets remember this time where none of us felt secure, and fight for a future where everyone can. Because when the world seems like its standing still. Thats the perfect time for us to change it. No uh uh, no way come on, no no nnnnono only discover has no annual fee on any card.

Almost 30 states reported an increase in new coronavirus case this week. And theres increasing concern that political pressure may be driving the development of a vaccine. Heres natasha chen. Well have manufactured at least 100 million vaccine doses before the end of the year. Reporter President Trump<\/a> made a jaw dropping declaration from the white house on friday. And likely much more than that. Reporter despite no prove convenient vaccine yet he went further promising enough for all americans by april. The vaccines are going through the Gold Standard<\/a> of Clinical Trials<\/a> and very heavy emphasis placed on safety. Three vaccines are already in the final stage. Joe bidens antivaccine theories are putting a lot of lives at risk and doing it only for political reasons. Reporter trumps timeline contradicts the one given earlier in week by dr. Redfield. Redfield said there wouldnt be widespread vaccination until late spring or summer of next year. I cant think of any president who has ever acted, in my view, so selfishly about his own reelection instead of a sworn obligation to protect and defend american people. Reporter in the meantime tuesday will soon hit 200,000 deaths since the covid19 pandemic began outpacing all other countries. We grow numb to the numbers. Reporter behind each number is a person and family struggling. Justin recently woke up from a medically induced coma 56 days after being put on a ventilator. It changed my perspective on life. I see this in a more real way. I knew it was serious before. But you look at life differently. The time we have is precious. Reporter for nearly two months while in a coma the seven day average of new cases saw an overall decline around the country but in recent days it has ticked slightly upward along with a seven day average of new deaths. This is happening in every region of the country, including the northeast which had quashed its initial outbreak in the spring. Were being cautious by a lot of kids coming back from all over the country. The college has a little bit of an impact. Reporter outbreaks among the College Population<\/a> in boulder, colorado prompted new testing sites to be set up and two college Football Game<\/a>s have been postponed. Kansas city chiefs one of the few nfl teams to allow fans in stadium in first week had a fan test positive after its september 10th game. Ten others who were in close contact have to quarantine.
