but because liam be is 18 and gay his career in the scouts is over, first done in by a no gay membersy then by a reversal in the scouts only to bar gay leaders 18 and over. >> it's been kind of rough growing up in such a cool organization, and then at one point hearing that no we don't really want you. you know that's not cool. >> but now another change may be coming. >> but we will not ignore growing internal challenges to our internal policy. >> speaking at the national meeting, boy scouts leader robert gates said the situation cannot be sustained. >> i fear that any other alternative will be the end of us as a national movement. >> the former cia director and secretary of defense said now is the time for scouting to rethink its position. as boy scout chapters have spoken out against blanket ban about gay leaders. >> i would like to know what it is they don't like about me, and what their afraid of. i pose no thoorm anyone. >> recent acts have made it too difficult to ignore the issue. in april a new york chapter of the boy scouts openly defied the organization by hiring a gay eagle

in this atmosphere, most gay people had no choice but to hide their sexual assault. >> if you were gay then, this was a horrible thing. >>reporter: but as the sexual revolution and the civil rights movement grew, so did the fight for gay rights. in 1969, new york city had the largest gay population in the u.s. gay men like martin boyce socialize at places like the stone wall in. >> it was exciting. there was no one group, no one could claim it as their own. >>reporter: police routinely raided the inn because gay bars could not get lick or the licenses. >> that night we had, had enough. this pent up rage. i don't think we knew it was in us. >>reporter: a crowd of gay supporters joined here forcing police to barricade themselves inside. the protest turned violent. how did stone wall transform the gay rights movement in the u.s.? >> it gave us courage to go on and just get the basic rights of at least some sort of respect. >>reporter: cathy is a former spokeswoman for the gay and lesbian rights group glad. >> that was a moment where there was a big raising of consciousness about lgbt peop

when it comes to gay marriage, it's a different thing. i was on the floor today -- i was trying to gauge from him the feeling in his caucus about how -- whether it was a relief to them of what happened with obamacare. and then moving to gay marriage, an entire different thing. it was a wedge issue in 2004. but it's no longer a wedge issue. in the primaries you're going to see the most conservative amongst them going into these places and saying not only do we want to stop gay marriage, we want to store the court. as we go forward that the gop has a danger of risk of being on the wrong side of history here? >> well, you know, everyone who is on the wrong side of history doesn't show up as being on that wrong side until years later looking back. he's not speaking necessarily to a wide swath of voters. he's speaking to very conservative voters who gave him the iowa caucus in 2008. he's won it before with that same methodology. now it almost makes it a more emerge nitty situation for him. >> this has been a big week for a court that seemingly

does this really mean the whole gay fight is over? and i don't mean the fight is gay...issues in this area? >> i think this was a day for guys to be drunk and in love. monday is a day to figure out what's the next step for a lot of gay folks who don't want to get married. this was largely about getting couples certain protections and rights and our work will be about extending protection and rights to more marginalized lgbtq people who don't want to get married. let's talk about housing for lgbt youth. 40% identify as home less lgbt youth. suicide and depression and all these other things impact the way. >> the civil rights act happened in 1955 for black people and we're totally totally cool now. (laughter) 3. how big is this decision if you put it in historical terms? is it brown haves board of education? >> it's no u.s. post office which means you can't stop getting junk mail, but it's bigger than that. >> there are problems with the decision itself. this decision was an opportunity for the supreme court to give equal protection -- heightened equal protection status to

want them to be gay. there's extreme measures, some are willing or are a force to go to. we talk about gay conversion therapy. it designed to change from gay to straight. some say it's bogus, and can do more harm than good. we'll tack to an advocate that says parents have a right to choose conversion therapy. in april, a ban was called for, in response to a petition of the death of a transgender teenager, that is a picture of her from her tumbler account. she committed suicide. and the suicide note referred to visits to christian therapists who told her she was "selfish and wrong." this debate over the laws of attraction involves religion, freedom and rites. like almost everything else, the passions that drive conversion therapy find a home in cyber space. >> bang, bang. >> reporter: as an actor, jeremy was the image of confidence. in the early 2000 he was pursuing his dream of being on the big screen, and enjoying life as a gay american. by 29 he was in a serious relationship with a man. did you break up

this will be an intense area of celebration as this is gay pride weekend here and gay pride month. weekend is the gay pride parade. it's an historic parade in new york city it will be even more so this sunday when it takes place. i want to get you right to jeffrey toobin our senior legal analyst at cnn for some of the more technical questions. when it comes to what the supreme court has just done and how the people of the united states will see it or not see it. jeffrey? i want to ask you in particular if you could just sort of lay out the case for those people who may live in those 20 states that are still experiencing bans on gay marriage, that there's lith negotiation ahead in order for that to end. >> there is ashleigh but i wouldn't overstate the complexity of the situation now. in a matter of weeks in all 50 states there are going to be same-sex marriages. states are going to be required to allow these ceremonies to take place. now, there may be some technical implementation controversies. in alabama where the chief justice has been resisting the orders of federal courts ther

gay marriage but perhaps symbolically the mayor of this city is going to perform two gay marriages atbout 2:00 p.m. eastern time today so there is news dropping fast and furiously but as the litigation has yielded hundreds of thousands of pages of evidence, testimony, and arguments, there's been a lot of emotion that's built as well that perhaps can't be measured so perfectly. but you can hear it. you can hear it around where i am. you can hear in the the voices who worked for so long towards this movement. after george takei, you know him best as the character sulu from "star trek." he joins me live by the telephone. i'm not sure if i can hear you that well. i want to ask your your reaction hearing about this sweeping decision from the supreme court. >> well, today is a great landmark day for america because now i can truly pledge allegiance to the united states of america, one nation, indivisible with liberty and justice for all. so it's a very, very joyous day for all americans but certainly for lgbt americans. >> so i think there's still so much left to be said regarding the actua

and you are a gay rights supporter. what was it like for you to standing there on the steps of the supreme court when this happened? >> it is an extraordinary feeling. i was here two years ago when the decision in the defense of marriage act and prop 8 came down, and there is a very different feeling -- >> how so? >> people expected this decision in a way they absolutely didn't two years ago, and i think that speaks to the very change in the environment since the decision came down two years ago. >> what does it mean to you personally to be standing out here when that decision came down. >> i think being surrounded by people who have been a part of this struggle for the last 30, 40, 50 years, much longer than i have been alive, it's very humbling and extraordinary. it's a very very great day to be here. >> thank you so much for being with us. >> thank you. >> there are organizations, the freedom to marry group they have put out a statement saying this is a great day for america. but they also said the gay righting strug

some of my closest friends are gays -- gay people. i've been getting texts all day, all morning. how happy they know i am. i'm the signatory on a number of amicus briefs in favor of gay marriage. these are people. this is why people like rob portman have changed their minds. because you meet people. not policies not politics. but as you meet real people and you realize they're not asking for much. they're asking for what you take for granted. they're asking for recognition and human dignity. they're not extremists. they're not pariahs. they're patriots. and to celebrate with them for so many years when they felt there was a different standard and different treatment, is outstanding. more people like me will just know more people like that. that's why i'm trying to tell my party that you're going to be a relic, you're going to be left behind. if you don't come to terms with the fact that this is our future. you don't have to like it. you don't have to embrace it. but you have to accept it. this is not a moment in history. this is the future. >> and basically from what i'm hearing

with gay marriage, what about gay adoption? has said this is a social experiment, we should not make it worse by allowing gay adoption. that will be the next argument. "cavuto coast to coast" when it is done. john: marriage and adoption same case? stuart: i don't know that. i don't know that. to be honest i don't. if you allow public, if a marriage is legally and all across the country -- cake couples can't adopt. >> a great point about how this factors into the presidential race. carly fiorina is the only one who has come out and said i am for civil unions and by taking it off the table would you then have a debate moderator say how would you feel about the supreme court decision? stuart: absolutely you will. the debate moderator will say exactly that. john: these people are experienced enough to know you say yes, respect the law but this is why taxes have to be changed. they will find a way to skirt this thing, they won't get drawn into it as much as the moderator. stuart: republicans to not want to be drawn into a debate, it

this is what she had to say this evening. >> today i'm gay and today the world is gay. and once again i get to thank the supreme court for demonstrating that the constitution of this country holds and justice prevails. >>reporter: and the festivities are taking off outside the inn because this is an iconic place for the gay rights movement. in 1969 this is one of the only places where gay people in new york city could come to socialize. and one night in 1969 the police tried to raid the bar. people here decided they did not want to get arrested and resisted and that really sparked the modern gay rights movement because riots were set off that gave a lot of the people in the community more unity and more courage. a lot has happened since 1969 to today. we talked to a lot of people about what they thought about the decision today. here's what some had to say. >> my father was a campaigner for gay rights before straight military men were campaigners for gay rights. i have a picture of him in a shirt that says love is love. he passed away five years ago and i just can't hel

one of the most often-heard shots at gay people by those who oppose their marriage was that gay peopleestroy or devalue marriage. as was mentioned during the argument before the high court pager is a social construct that's been with us for men millennia. if marriage is a troubled or degraded institution it is heterosexuals who have done the damage all on their own not a couple of hundred thousand gay people in the population of 350 million. the surprise is so many wanted it so badly. that should remind ourselves married or single, what's so precious as marriage in the first place? battered and bruised as at the time, there are people that the worst thick you could tell them is they can't have it and after being locked out so long that they are willing to take a crack at saving it. i'm ray suarez. that's the "inside story." >> yet the people decide, the greek prime minister announces a referendum on his nation's bailout here. hello, i'm darren jordan, you're watching al jazeera live from doha. also on the program. the once peaceful country is now a target. >>> unitedunited in greece an

this is what she had to say earlier at that rally. >> today i'm gay and today the world is gay. [ cheeringeme court for demonstrating that the constitution of this country holds and justice prevails. >> what does it feel like to be part of this historic day? >> thrilling. it couldn't be more thrilling. thrilling. i can't imagine. >> the reason why we're here at stone wall inn is that this is an iconic place for the gay rights movement. this was seen as the modern birthplace of the gay rights movement. this is where gay people could socialize. people inside decided not to --the police raided it, and the people decided not to leave. that sparked guy rights movement in the gay community. >> it's been a long slow process to get it. we used to be criminals. we could be arrested going into a place like the stone wall. now we can go anywhere. we can live anywhere and still have our government recognize us. that's very important. >> we've come so far. i don't think it will take too much longer. the military has us now where getting married in every state. it's an amazing thing. >> one of the peopl

rights or gay marriage? >> well i think since it's the law of the land now, i think things will change. for the better i think things will look up for everybody. >> what does in mean as far as your future? what will you do differently? how will this effect you on a practical level day-to-day? >> i now can go ahead and give john what he needs in the future if something happens to me and we can have a better life together. >> all right. jim and john thank you for joining us with your perspective. again, you are looking live at the white house. we are expecting president obama any moment to give his reaction to this supreme court. let's go back to adam may outside of the high court. he is taking in reaction. greg and michael are the plaintiffs in the kentucky same-sex marriage case. adam? >> yeah stephanie this case is made up of six different cases that came out of the 6th circuit. i had the pleasure of meeting these guys a couple of months ago. little did we know we would be standing here outside of the court

god created gay people i love gay people -- and loves gay people. host: there are several stories today take a look at particularly how gop candidates responded to yesterday's decision. marco rubio sending out a tweet saying that the next president and all public office must protect the first amendment and rights of religious institutions. my copy -- my coike huckabee and rick perry also giving their opinions. not just gop candidates are expressing their thoughts yesterday. hillary clinton saying, proud to celebrate his a historic victory for marriage equality. bernie sanders -- today the supreme court fulfilled the words engraved upon its bi building "equal under the law." martin o'malley was buried yesterday. if you watched c-span's coverage yesterday, you know that many people on both sides of this issue where there, take a look at the decision. if you want to see the coverage of not only what went on outside, some of the opinions yesterday, c-span.org is how you can do that. it is prominently featured there on our front page. gail from north car

to include gay people. states wait and see whether in fact doing so in the other states is or is not harmful to marriage. that same question has been put in many many ways in the briefs on our subject. you received it in three ourfore different ways and julied like to know so i can hear and understand it just what your response is. >> okay. and i apologize if i haven't. in our system right now with the fourteenth amendment which set forth principles we are governed by and govern our lives, you look at examples like coverture which was wide spread in our nation for a long time and that change in marriage was deeply unsettling to people. likewise even when race wasn't used as the bases for discripple discriminating in every state. it was pervasive and changing that and individual resisted in the loving case and said please wait and see. 80% of the american public was with virginia on that. it was the question of the individual liberty of the person to do something that was considered a profound change in its

i have a daughter who is gay.ow i can see her legally married without having to travel to another state. i think it's wonderful. host: thank you for the call. caller: i totally disagree with this. instead of having continuous news on gay news, why do we just help our infrastructure and work on that? raise our cost of living. these things, is this going to help our country get that her? if you want to be gay, be gay. help the american people get their jobs back. i worked for 42 years. it's very hard for me to accept this fact that what they are doing to our country. get these republicans and have them work with the democrats are in get our country back into shape. who cares if people want to be gay. we don't have to have a daily thing about it. host: thanks for calling. the hill writes that today marks the two-year anniversary of the decision on united states the windsor, that struck down part of the defense of marriage act. it forced the government to recognize same-sex marriages. that was two years ago on this da

his clerk was gay. but you see how that opinion just sort of monolithic image of the gay community that comes out. and how much we've changed. now the court talks about these are people with children, these are people who have lost loved ones in one state, people who have married in another, they're no longer this monolithic group. they're human beings. you want to pick someone that really conveys that, that these are individual people that are suffering from these laws in very real way. and i think they zoosucceeded i doing that. throughout the filings they came back in the court trying to put a face on these rights. it's not an abstraction any more. not just about the plaintiff, jim obergefell. it's about the way the community litigated this whole thing, bringing human faces and family partners into the discussion and throughout the country. that's really the supreme court decision itself recognized that, that we now have a profound change over the last 10, 20 years in which people have come out and w

msnbc anchor thomas roberts who is gay introducing a steady parade of gay activists and celebrities. >> it's so compassionate of you to take on this charge and share your story, your marriage with your husband, but then also championing this so that other families can have dignity and respect. >> when you hear the president say to you that your leadership has changed the country, what is that like? >> i can't even put it into words. >> even some conservative commentators were supportive of s.e. cupp telling her republican party to get with the program. >> it's hard to watch that and not get emotional. those people there are not perar pariahs. >> when the legislature can't do it the judges will expand personal liberty and that's the beauty of the constitution. >> voices of conservative critics were overlooked or muffled. >> kathleen yesterday's "the new york times" front page you can see it here equal dignity and 12 pictures of gay couples kissing and embracing. is coverage of this landmark ruling fair to both sides? >> i'm not surprised by the coverage. it's a huge landmark decision

and then it was called "gay cancer." all of course, all the homophobes and the haters said people deserved this. and we were saying, "no, we don't. we don't know what this is." david: other cities are putting their sick young men on airplanes literally, like gainesville, florida put a dying young man on an airplane and had him flown to san francisco and literally dumped him in the city. paul: it blasted away almost every organ in their body. we had people with blindness with dementia, wasting away with cancer all over their bodies couldn't breathe, couldn't think because of the infections in the brain. and these were people in their 20s and early 30s. tom: and i mean, some gay people as well were very freaked out. they said, "oh, you know, if you eat the popcorn in the gay bars, you know, people have reached in there, so it could be--" you know, it was really--it was very, very bizarre. a lot of denial in the beginning. "oh, this is a plot to make gay people feel bad or punished." paul: i was afraid that i might give it

gay life and gay love however found a way in cities across the country gay people created their own familiesand lovers their own society and culture which thrived. the notion of equal rights for gays and lesbians however seemed like a dream. in 1965 a man fired from his government job because he was gay along with fellow activist jack nichols picketed the white house. the obstacles ahead were clear. >> we discovered that americans kid how kid homosexuality more harmful than adultery or prostitution. >> a turning point, after decades of being targeted by police some arrest ford gathering together. patrons in the stonewall in new york's greenwich village fought back. and a new era of activism was born. with increased visibility came bitter pushback. >> a lifestyle that is both perverse and dangerous. >> social conservatives who sought to ban gays and lesbians from working in schools found themselves doing battle with grassroots activist like harvey milk. >> there are 15 million lesbians and gay men! >> while some stigma slowly waned, in 1973 the american psychiatric association announced being

this guy being motivated by anti-gay animus and puts his money in the bank that sponsors the gay pride bank in miami. franklin graham today published an op-ed in "usa today" say thing is not funny at all. in fact, this is exactly what he meant to do. he argues today that his objection is not to some bank sponsoring a gay pride parade. his objection is to a bank using that terrible nice ad to promote homosexuality. "why did we move from one bank to another? because wells fargo went beyond being gay friendly to being a public advocate. we chose not to continue doing business with a bank that is promoting something that violates our conscience and beliefs." but the new bank he just moved his money to sponsors literally a public parade of gay people who are proud of being gay and promoting abacceptance of themselves as such. if you-- a gay pride is literally that blocking traffic in full view of everybody. it's possible somebody told him that maybe -- maybe somebody said your new bank supports miami beach gay pride, so he thought they were doing like private self-esteem classes and he was

obamacare, gay marriage, that powerful eulogy. apart from the sadness of charleston it has been a pretty incredible week for president obama. is this the best week he has had in his second term? josh: there is no question this is the best week has had. he has gotten wins on not just the big cases we have talked about. i think this will end up being the high point of his second term. even the tragedy seems to have kicked off a discussion with clear positive effects, not just for democrats and obama, but for the country and the culture. john: the way that president obama spoke today speaks to a kind of liberation. but gosh, you cannot understate or overstate the extent to which the supreme court, for a second consecutive time has come down in favor of obama. that will be his domestic policy legacy and now it twice has survived. it is now, as he believes, more and more ingrained in the fabric of american life. that alone could make it the biggest week of his second term, but throw trade in there, and it's hard to see him having a bet

on gay marriage. our eyes are trained on washington. thend mirror, mirror on wall, who is the best banking >> and the all? greek economy is in shambles yet it is still seeing record terrorism. could that be the spark leading to recovery? >> good morning. i am scarlet fu. pimm: and i am pimm fox. consumer confidence is out and michael mckee is in the newsroom with the headlines. michael: we go from 96.1, the preliminary report for june had been 94.6. driven by themp current assessment of the economy. from 106.8. they get rising consumer expectations, people thinking things will be better six months down the road. the fed likes to watch the inflation indicators. we get 2.7% increase. consumering from confidence i want to bring in phil mattingly with a decision from the supreme court. the two biggest cases everyone was looking for, gay marriage is now legalized nationwide by the supreme court. .hat is according to headlines what this ruling does is essentially bring gay marriage to the final 14 u.s. states that did not allow it. itre was s

i think that gays have come a lot further.ights issue were salaries, opportunity to make money education. access to public facilities. there's a litany of five things that don't seem to be the kind of overt discrimination. if anything, in these days, okay, gays have a lot of rights. i'm looking at that from my perception brown brown. >> brown: kevin how do you respond. >> i have a good example of gay parents not having rights. my 16 year old brother, he wanted to go get his driver's permits. one of my dads took him to get his driver's permit and the other one who was his adopted father could not get off work. so my dad takes him to the dmv to get his license. they turn him away and say you're not the adoptive parent and you can't prove you're the awe dataive parent so he can't get his license. so my brother had to wait six weeks for my other dad who is his adopted parent to get off work to take him to the dmv. and you know, it could have just been a simple process where my brother could have been immediately got i his driver's

ran on an inclusive message, including with a number - they had a gay - openly gay representative running on that ticket. the inclusion is a reason they lost so many seats. my reading of the crack town is that it's a chief political move. turkey has to form a coalition government. there's no clear majority. tuesday, they will nominate a speaker, and on july 1st they will do proceedings to form a government. if they are not able to do that there'll be elections. another election would be held. atp would gain ground and possibly regain a major city. it's a political ploy to recapture power. do you think it could working backfire. right now it's unpredictable what will happen. if one of the parties will agree to form a pert a government with the akp. it's interesting that they are reacting in this way. it's a knee jirk reaction which is unlike them. they have taken a longer view. when they came to power, they came with a long-term message, and they abandoned the message, narrowing on an anti-consec ty catering to the religious heart land. >> do you think the optics are transparent to the tur

at the village voice, a pro-gay institution there was still hostility. >> we hired gay people duringarthy years to write. we were pro-gay as an institution but individual reporters could be homophobic and they would be in the paper. we did have coverage. we gave it front-page coverage. but some of it was very homophobic and we were zapped by activists. >> what does that mean? >> means you invidade the office in sit in. we did it to times, harper's magazine. the voice. my own paper was zapped. >> at the time of stonewall you were married to a woman. >> yes. >> when did that change? early '70s. within a few years -- >> you began to feel comfortable enough -- >> the movement allowed me to access my deepest feelings. it wasn't a question of comfort. it was a question of self-knowledge. social activism can produce self-knowledge and self-awareness. it isn't just that you're comfortable. it's that you discover your self through politics. that's what i learned from the gay movement. >> we saw a lot of hostility in the press toward what we now know as the gay rights movement. >> society was

gay life and gay love was created along the way. they created a culture that thrived.and lesbians seemed like a dream. two men picketed the white house in the nation's first major public gay protest. the obstacles ahead were clear. >> we discovered that americans consider homosexuality more harmful to society than adultery abortion or prostitution. >> reporter: in 1969 another historic turning point. after decades of being targeted by police patrons in a dingy bar called the stone wall in greenwich village fought back. a new era of activism was born. >> a lifestyle that is perverse and dangerous. >> reporter: social conservatives who sought to ban gays and lesbians from working in schools found themselves doing battle with grass roots activists like harvey milk. >> there are millions waiting to hear your voice. >> reporter: in 1973 the american psychiatric association announced being gay was not a mental disorder. another battle was beginning. in 1981 a disease was killing gay men. >> this disease has been turned into a propaganda ploy in our opinion by homosexual symp

this is what she had to say during the rally. >> today i'm gay and today the world is gay.in i get to thank the supreme court for demonstrating through the constitution of this country holds and justice prevails. >> then we caught up with edie after the rally. i asked her what this day means to her. take a listen. >> well, couldn't be more thrilling. i can't imagine a happier position to be in. >> how surprised are you? did you think that this day would come? >> no, no idea. i saved the cancel check because i knew. otherwise, if one of us died first, the government would say whoever died first owns it all and we would have the proof that the survivor paid half. that's how little i expected this. >> she's talking about estate taxes she had to pay the federal government when her spouse died because her marriage was not recognized by the government here. this day has been full of celebrations. therecan you pan over to the people who are here? there are single people, there are people who are kissing crying dancing. we've talked to quite a few of these people. here are a couple

gay life and gay love however, found a way in cities across the country, gay people created their ownrs their own society and culture, which thrive. the notion seems like a dream. in 1965 a man named frank, was fired from his government job because he was gay, along with jack nichols picketed the white house in the first public gay protest. the obstacles ahead were clear. >> discovered americans consider homosexuality more harmful to society than adultery abortion or prostitution. >> reporter: in 1969 another historic turning point. after decades of being targeted by police some arrested for simply gathering together patrons in a dingy bar. with increased visibility came bitter pushback. >> a lifestyle that is dangerous. >> reporter: social conservatives sought to ban it in schools. >> there are 15 million lesbians and gay men waiting to hear your voice. >> reporter: some stigma wayned in 1973 the american psychiatric association announced being gay was not a mental disorder. another battle was just beginning. in 1981 a mysterious disease began killing otherwise healthy gay men. >> sw

kathy rena is a gay rights activist and former spokesperson for the gay and lesbian alliance againstiscrimination. thanks for being here. >> absolutely. >> we're seeing all of these states -- >> alabama. >> alabama -- starting to issue marriage licenses right? >> yes. >> but the pastor said these couples still will be terminated from their work for marrying a person of the same sex. >> this is a tremendous moment in american history. thank you to every plaintiff who has put their lives on the line. every activist who has been working for decades, freedom to marry, who really is the architect of the movement called this a transformational movement this morning. and he is absolutely right. but it doesn't mean the work is done as you know, a number of people have said we still don't have federal job protection. so we have to think about those individuals who may get married on friday or saturday put it on facebook, and on monday they could be fired from their jobs. >> what are the types of protections we're going to see from this community? >> i think the fight is now about job protecti

gay marriage.efore it was marriage, right and then we talked about gay marriage but what they can is there is no gay marriage it's just one marriage. i say add it. gay marriage we're on board, gay marriage. >> i wasn't on board but now i am. >> are you homo phobic, i can't figure it out. >> i want one big happy but i don't want the judges telling me how to. now for the most important story of the day. >>> i went to the internet for this headline, prohillary quartet released a parody of "stacy's mom" and clicking on it confirmed my worse fears. ♪ ♪ chelsea's mom has got it going on ♪ ♪ she's sexy and strong ♪ i'm going to vote for chelsea's mom ♪ ♪ >> that is's barber shop? where were the complex cords, the dominant seven. wayne was disgusted about this song, no, i don't know that but it's wrong, isn't it. >> no this is so good for hillary clinton. she doesn't have time to get dolled up. she hasn't been called sexy in years she probably had extra pep in her step can't hate on that. it's just a happy
