i understand you did talk with barbara boxer about the presidents pick to replace justice ginsburg. >> senator boxer was in the senate when ruth bader ginsburg was confirmed. she voted for her and considers herself to be close with her. fellow juice in brooklyn. she views amy coney barrett as the ideological opposite of ruth bader ginsburg. that will have big consequences. here is what she had to say. >> it's hard to say, it's like filling the seat of a civil rights icon with someone who really doesn't care about it. all of the people on trump's list were vetted by the federalist society. of the federalist society is not interested in having a national government that makes life better for people. you are going to read the constitution, not interpreted in any other way than what it says. when it suits your needs you will always come down on the side of doing less. >> now the question is, where do we go from here? we know there are two republican senators who already said they do not want to vote for a nominee, any nominee, before the election day. but they need four republicans to say

south carolina democrat jim clyburn had said that trump is not going to win fairly, senato barbara boxer has said that the only way trump will win is to steal it, that's according to democrat senator barbara boxer. the washington post has noted that there headline democrats may not trust assault results o the election if trump wins. then you have that beautiful quote from hillary clinton that joe biden should not concede under any circumstance. i think your question is more fitting for democrats. >> just to understand this clearly, are the results legitimate only if the presiden wins? gave the president will except the results of a free inver election. he will accept the will of the american people. >> 's so if he loses and it's free and fair he will. >> i've answered i've answered your question part. >> first of all, a little housekeeping parade has the president spoke into the family of breonna taylor? >> i'm not aware of any conversations i've had but thei hearts go out to them part. >> has he spoke to the family o the office or shop in louisvill part. >> he spoke to the officers sho

that description today from former california senator barbara boxer. >> some of her early cases actuallynted men who were not being treated equally under the social security law. so what she recognized, which was genius on her part, is if a man is the plaintiff in a sex discrimination suit, if you win it, it works both ways for the men and women. so she was brilliant about the way she fought cases. >> boxer shared those thoughts with me at 3:00, getting answers. she won her senate seat in 1992, the year of the woman. ginsburg was appointed to the supreme court a year later. boxer says the women of the senate used to have dinner with the women of the supreme court, and that led to a special bond. >>> a san jose couple is pleading with the community to locate a stolen food court. the family says this truck was their only source of income, and their american dream. luz pena has the story. >> reporter: five years ago, they accomplished their american dream. and a week ago, two thieves drove off with it. >> because when i see that, when the guys take it, i see the picture. >> reporter: in thi
