justin pennsylvania -- pennsylvania alone on hundred people convicted felons are free now and free to roam up to the pennsylvania area to return to our communities today because of the actions of our commander-in-chief. by very definition these are threats to our national security. this should independent our political affiliation alarm assault and even his supporters many -- president trump and i disagree on a lot of i'm sure we will express deep disappointment with one another with worry and concern over different policies. the back-and-forth between parties and how best to answer countries ability should agree to disagree. blanket pardon such as these in at the scale are simply. i have no other words to describe it. let me repeat this was political violence plain and simple and for nation's commander-in-chief to literally give the worst of these violent offenders and perpetrators of pardon is. let's be clear these pardons are a message to president trump's vilest supporters that he has their backs and violence committed in his name is protected and violence committed against a law

he was raised a quaker and then he married into the most prominent quaker family in pennsylvania. and over the years. he gravitated, increasing towards quakerism, but he never actually joined the meeting, never actually became a formal quaker. and that was because he said that every religion had aspects of it, that he didn't agree with and with quaker, as it was that he believed in the lawfulness of defensive war, as he put it. and so he was a big proponent of militias and as a citizen, militias. and so he never let that go. but so when he was younger, his his faith was still in evidence, especially in his with his mother, who was a great to him. and she was she was a quaker. and so you know we start to see his religiosity as early as you in his early twenties when was studying law in england and and we we see it in his. determination that one of the main reasons i would say the main reason he wanted to become a lawyer was so he could protect the innocent and and the injured, defend them and this was very, very much a quaker early purpose of being a lawyer and a lot of a lot of th

there was state funding in pennsylvania.ife democrat governors. shapiro has taken away that funding. indiana a funds real alternatives. but the question i have, and we don't have a lot of time, kevin, but i want to get to it. we fund planned parenthood as a nation to the tune of $450 million. could we put money like that towards pregnancy centers? if that could be done through hhs or whatever. talk to me about what that would look like and what that would mean to women who with, as a you said, 80% say i would have had the baby if i'd had a little bit of support. >> sure. it's not only a good idea, rachel, but we've done that. in fact, we're coming up on half a million clients served in our pennsylvania, indiana, michigan program. the texas program we helped start is over half a million. is as of today, one million if women have been served in unexpected pregnancies and have been provided life-affirming services. now, it's a mix of state block grants of federal tan of money and -- tanf money and state revenue. i'd like to see

i don't think he's going to be a republican anytime soon, but i think a pennsylvania democrat looks ais creating a coalition, like president trump is, to get reelected. >> i want to piggyback. i like the idea. he is curious and is asking questions. do we know yet if he is willing to go to mar-a-lago? how much time will he spend with the president? when you look at it, it's the curiosity that is lacking on the left. they liked it before the election and now. they are doing a lot of grazing -- they want to look at themselves and say "we are okay, the kids are okay. we don't know what the man in the white house is doing." they need to pay attention. with regard to john fetterman, don't get it twisted: he's not a republican. i don't think he was joking when he said that to the women on "the view." i think he means it. anytime he wants to come and sit on this couch, he can wear shorts all he wants. >> he went to mar-a-lago which i think represents harris' point, democrats saying "we have a commander in chief that serves all americans, and therefore i'm here to serve my constituents." asked
