And when you talk about this election, I hope everybody understands if Trump is elected, the right of women to control their own bodies, is looking to be on the defense. Not only is [the right of women to control their own bodies] gone, they are talking about active pursuit of criminalization. Right. Unbelievable. Putting women in jail, talking about climate change. I would hope that most of our viewers understand that climate change not only is real, but unless there's world cooperation, the kind of planet we're leaving future generations is very much in question. (31:23–31:30)
