One week from tomorrow, the 20th Anniversary of 9 11. And Today President biden signed an Executive Order directing the Justice Department to conduct a declassification of documents related to the Fbis Investigation of those terror attacks. They have six months to release the documents. The president said this fulfills a Campaign Promise and its something that families and friends of those killed on 9 11 have been demanding. A group more than 1,600 affected by the attacks, it asked the president to refrain from visiting Ground Zero next week unless he released more documents. Many of them, hoping for more information about what many of them believe are possible links between Saudi Arabia and those who conducted the attacks. A programming note. To mark the 20th Anniversary of 9 11, cnns going to air a special report, Front Row to history, this sunday. We are visiting that horrific day through the lens of the 2nd Grade students, their teacher, and White House aides who were in the Florida Classroom with President Bush the moment he learned about the second plane hitting the world trade center. Thats sunday, 10 00 p. M. Eastern on cnn. News continues right now. Let hand things over to Michael Smerconish who is in for Chris Cuomo tonight. Thank you. I am Michael Smerconish in for Chris Cuomo. Welcome to prime time. Thats where we are after the lone Star State enacted a law that bans abortion after just six weeks. A time period so early that many women dont, yet, know theyre pregnant. It contains no exceptions for rape or incest, and incentivizes citizens to sue abortion providers. The Supreme Court has allowed this extreme legislation to stand, for now. Even though its a glaring affront to Roe Versus Wade. Some say, a precursor to overturning it. Roe in the cases that followed made it illegal to ban abortions before the point of viability, around 24 weeks. A Far Cry from mississippis 15week restriction and texas is a full 18 weeks before the current standard. President biden called the Texas Law unamerican, today, in his first oncamera words about it and is looking for ways for his Justice Department to limit it. The most pernicious thing about the Texas Law, it sort of creates a vigilante system. Where people get rewards to go out to anyway, and it just seems i know this sounds ridiculous, almost unamerican. I was told that there are possibilities within the existing law to have the Justice Department look and see whether are there things that can be done that can limit the independent action of individuals in enforcing a federal and a and a state law. The Senate Judiciary Committee now plans to hold a hearing examining not only the law, but also the high Courts Decision to allow it to take effect. In a scathing rebuke today, democratic Chair Dick durban argued quote, the court allowed it to see the light of day without public deliberation or transparency. We must examine not just the constitutional impact of allowing the Texas Law to take effect but, also, the conservative Courts Abuse of the Shadow Docket. The Shadow Docket is a term to describe the use of Emergency Orders without oral arguments. This was a 54 opinion. Conservative chief justice John Roberts dissented alongside the three liberal members of the court. Speaker pelosi now promising a vote to codify Roe Versus Wade as federal law, in case its ever overturned. But would democrats ever be able to get that through in a 5050 senate . Not without a 60vote threshold. Not unless they eliminated the filibuster and we know that Senators Manchin and Sainema Hae been unswayed on that, so far. In the mean time, the Texas Law will stand while the battle over its legality continues as pointed out by amy at scotus blog, what makes the Texas Case so vexing to opponents is The Way in which it was crafted. Quote, to make it harder to challenge the law in court, particularly before it went into effect, the Texas Law does not rely on Government Officials to enforce the ban. Instead, it deputizes private individuals to bring lawsuits against anyone who either provides or aids or abets an abortion. And it establishes an award of 10,000 for a successful lawsuit. And so, there will probably not be a final ruling on texas until the court is called upon to rule after a private citizen sues someone for violating the abortion ban. Only to have the defendant cite the roe decision. Think empowering dog the Bounty Hunter to enforce a states law, and that kind of precedent could lead beyond the abortion realm. At risk for lawsuits, drivers who could take a woman to a clinic for an abortion in texas. But listen to this. Lyfts ceo says his company has created a driver legal Defense Fund to cover 100 of legal fees for any driver sued under this law while driving with lyft. He calls Texass Senate Bill 8 an attack on Womens Access to Con Healthcare and on their right to choose. And lyft will donate 1 Million to planned parenthood. He also says we encourage other companies to join us. And they are. Ubers ceo says Drivers Shouldnt be put at risk for getting people where they want to go. Team uber is in, too. And well cover legal fees in the same way. Thanks for the push. Reaction now from our first guest, nancy northup, is the center for Reproductive Rights, a group devoted to protecting the womens right to choose. Nancy, welcome to prime time. Are we, yet, seeing this impact at a granular level . Meaning, at the clinics, themselves, in texas . Oh, yes. It has been a devastating two days since the Supreme Court turned its back on women, pregnant people, the constitution, the rule of law. And of course, its, you know, clinics are theyre opened so i want people in texas to know they should call their clinics. Theyre open but theyre complying, which means they can only provide abortions earlier than six weeks. And, you know, the people who are hurt hardest by this law are those who already have barriers to accessing access to healthcare. So that is black, indigenous, people of color, people in rural communities, undocumented immigrants. You know, there are internal checkpoints in texas even with the means to leave their areas, they can stopped by that and not be able to leave the state. So already, we are seeing these really difficult impacts in texas. And that is why, you know, we are looking at every legal means to challenge it. It was a welcome announcement by Speaker Pelosi that shes going to hold a vote on the Womens Health Protection act. Which would address the Texas Law and the more than, you know, hundreds of laws that have been passed in recent years blocking access to abortion services. And to hear President Biden announce a wholeofgovernment response. And then, to hear from the Vice President and the secretary of hhs and the Attorney General. So, we now have people very engaged in this and The American public is engaged. You know, theyre sending money to the abortions funds. Theyre supporting the clinics. And so, this is not going to be something everyones going to just wait until the Court Of Appeals steps in. People are acting now. I need to get your i need to get your quick reaction to what make this so unique. Its not just the six weeks. Its not just the lack of an exception for rape or incest. But it is this i call it the Bounty Hunter aspect of it. Where where might that lead in a way that concerns you . Absolutely. I mean, what texas has done is to offload, you know, its, you know, responsibilities to protect the constitution and empower individuals to be b Bounty Hunters. The 10,000 is a minimum. A court could impose more fees but also attorneys fees on the people who are sued. And this is not going to be limited to abortion with the court to hold it up. It means that any constitutional individual right could be on the chopping block. Texas could deny people the right to vote and say, but were just going to empower private individuals to do this. Or the right of kids to get education. A whole host of individual rights. And so, you know, this is well, be careful. And be careful. I would say i would say to redstate folks, be careful what you wish for because there could be a corollary in a blue state where, similarly, something thats an affront to conservatives would be rewarded with litigation. I wish i had more time. Ive got to run. But, nancy northup, thank you so much for being here. Thank you. From the legal, now to the political. The Texas Law seems to be a win for republicans right now. But will it be for the long run . I want to bring in ashley Allison And Charlie dent. You know, charlie, i didnt recognize you come from this pedigree of republicans who will stand up and oppose their party on the abortion issue. I i never knew that Mary Chris Dent mary dent chris, i i should say, was an aunt of yours. Please, explain what happened in 1980. Well, she was my fathers sister. She was cochair of the republican national committee at the time. And and leading republican from arizona. Grew up in pennsylvania. But she objected to the Partys Position to turn its back on what was then the equal rights amendment. And also, womens Reproductive Rights and at the convention in detroit, she basically resigned and walked out over the whole issue. And she warned, at the time, that this was going to cost republicans a lot of women voters. And there would be deep political consequences and she was right because theres been a Gender Gap, ever since. And laws like this one we have just seen passed in texas will only further widen that Gender Gap and turn it into a massive canyon. Right. But i have to point out. I mean, what youre what youre saying is that your aunt objected to the gop going fullon prolife in the platform in 1980. But, ashley, ill direct i will direct this to you. Ronald reagan then won in a landslide. So maybe, this is not all Doom And Gloom for the gop . Well, i think its important to realize that from reagan to bush to clinton, peoples views on abortion have drastically shifted. Um, if you look back to 2000 and 2004, george w. Bush really Ran On abortion as an issue that really actually pulled some democrats, moderate africanamericans, moderate democrats to vote for him. Of course, there are a whole host of issues that we could discuss about that election. But from that point on till present day, the overwhelming majority, even republican and particularly republican women, support a womens right to choose. They see it as a form of healthcare. As a form of Reproductive Rights. And so, i do think theres a part of the republican base that is prolife and will never want a woman to have a right to choose over her own reproductive health. But women are half of this country. And over 60 of people believe in the Texas Law is not a good law. Um, people arent necessarily paying attention to how the Supreme Court did it. But i do think if this becomes an issue in 2022, it is an issue that democrats should run on and should not be afraid of because it is our body, our choice. Well, charlie, to ashleys point, here is the latest polling data. Quinnipiac, from texas, 49 . We will put it on the screen. Oppose this law. When you then look nationwide and its an nbc survey, 54 believe that abortion should be legal in all or most cases. That would suggest that its the democratic party that has a winning hand on this texas issue. But wherein lies the passion . Who is really going to come out to vote because of an issue like this . Well, i think where this is gonna hurt where this law is going to hurt the gop is with educatedsuburban women. Michael, youre from the suburbanphiladelphia area. You know what i am talking about. Yep. Republicans have been just have been just hemorrhaging voters in the suburbs. And an issue like this will further compound the problem. So, sure, this law may help some republicans in some rubyred districts. But in the Swing Districts that republicans need to win back, this issue is a major setback. I mean, no exceptions for rape or incest. It effectively bans abortion at six weeks. I mean, the Bounty Provision or the Smiths Provision or the informer provision. These are i mean, there is kind of an eerily orwellian feature to this thing. It just doesnt you know, most people who arent obsessed with this issue are going to look at this i mentioned, you know, its like the why are they doing this . You know, why are they getting involved with issues that really defy Common Sense . And just really, you know, are offensive to many peoples sensibilities. Whether youre for abortion or not. Most most americans i was going to say, it remains to be seen, historically, i think that republicans have cared more about the courts. I mean, look at donald trumps influence. Three justices on the Supreme Court or this would not have gone The Way that it did. I wish i had more time for ashley Allison And Charlie dent. Have a great weekend and thank you, both, for being here. Take care, michael. The 20th Anniversary of 9 11, one week from tomorrow. There are some survivors and families of victims who didnt want President Biden to visit Ground Zero next week, until they got more answers on who was behind the attack. Well, they may, soon, be about to get that information. A major update tonight. President biden has just moved to try and declassify certain documents. So, weve brought back a 9 11 Family Member to get his take, next. R customers, and new ways for them to reach you. Is what business is all about. Its what the United States Postal Service has always been about. So as your business changes, were changing with it. With ecommerce that runs at the speed of now.

Whose cat is that . brother its a long story. sister oh my gosh. farmer whiskers there you are avo the subaru crosstrek. The adventurous suv for adventurous people. Love. Its what makes subaru, subaru. Ahead of the 20th Anniversary of 9 11, today the president issued a new Executive Order that directs the Justice Department and other federal agencies to review and possibly declassify documents related to the Fbis Investigation of the attacks. The order requires the Attorney General to release any declassified documents publicly over the next six months. This comes, of course, after a wave of pressure from 9 11 Family Members. More than 1,600 signed a letter last month calling on President Biden to refrain from going to Ground Zero this year if he didnt, first, release more records. Why . Well, the victims families believe these documents will implicate saudi officials in the attack. You may recall brett eagleson. He spoke to me last month about what these documents would mean to him. His father bruce died at the world trade center. We need the president to be our hero. Be our hero. Be our champion, mr. President. This is a direct appeal to you. Help us in this fight. Stand by our side. Allow us to have the Justice And Closure that we deserve. Brett eagleson joins me again, now. Brett, are you satisfied tonight . Well, thank you, again, for having me on. And i think im going to withhold those sentiments until we have documents in hand, fully unredacted. Um, i think that the president made a great, first step today. This is an historic moment and an historic first step but the job is not done. And i hope the president can appreciate and realize that we have been beaten up and battered for 20 years. Weve been lied to by formersitting president s. And we are still apprehensive. Were ap were apprehensive by the fact that the people cast with these documents are the same people covering these documents up. So we would love for the author of the april 4th, 2016, Fbi Review to lead this effort. But i think this is a greatfirst step, michael. And um, i think more to come. But the proof will be in the pudding. But um, i i am excited to see what happens next. But we need the president to hold strong. Do not let the Bureaucracy Snow him. Do not trust the fbi. Its the same people that have been that have that have been throwing us under the bus for 20 years that are now leading this declassification review. Brett, is he welcomed next weekend . You know, again, im gonna withhold those sentiments. I think this is a great, first step. But lets see what happens. I believe that he has a few days, according to the Executive Order, to produce the documents. So at The End of the day, we will have a celebratory ceremony if documents are being starting to being produced next week. So im hesitant to ask that question. Merely, by the fact that we have been screwed over for 20 years by our own government. So um i really am hopeful. If all the information if all the information that you want released is released, what is it . And just give me the bottom line that you think it will show. Well well, for example, i want to point out a breakingnews story. Just last week, we had katherine from cbs report that a pilot was approached about a diagram found to be in possession of a saudigovernment employee. The diagram showed how to fly a plane into a building. Thats just scratching the surface of this information. There are smoking guns that need to be released and The American public needs to know. So this information needs to come out. And the um there is no reason for this classification 20 years on. And again, we are we are we are cautiously optimistic. And um, this is the first okay. Where credit is due. This is the strongest Statement Weve ever had by a sittingu. S. President to support us so were very hopeful. I hope you get i hope you get everything you want to see. I think youre entitled to it, and i, as a journalist, i want to read it and give it the light of day. Thanks for being back. We really appreciate it. Thank you for having me. Okay. Brett eagleson. And by The Way, a relatedprogramming note. A classroom of 2nd Graders, a president , and a moment that forever unites them. 20 years later, find out what happened to the kids in the 9 11 classroom. Thats Sunday Night at 10 00 eastern here on cnn. To our covid fight, next. New polling shows Vaccine Hesitancy in america is going down, overall. But not as much in the sports world. Why are some of the best athletes still holding off on protecting their bodies from a Killer Virus . We turn to sports broadcasting legend, bob costas, next. [ring] [ring ring] [ring] oh no. I thought i just ordered tacos. Nope sushi. Ramen. Burgers. Tandoori chicken. Some milk from the store, and. And, let me guess. Cookies . Wha, Me Hungry yeah. Here, ill call some friends to help us eat. Yeah, that good idea. Yeah. Get more from your neighborhood. Doordash. Hey yo, grover you like ramen . Vaccine hesitancy also rocking the sports world. And big leagues are all Making Decisions about about how to handle it. For example, in tennis, only about 50 of players are vaccinated according to major associations. The u. S. Open does not have a Vaccine Mandate for competitors. Major League Baseball leaving it up to the teams whether to mandate vaccines. Thats bringing mixed results. Some have several unvaccinated players on the field. Others have fired employees who refuse the shot. The nfl made a deal with its Players Association not to mandate vaccines, and as a result, a Head Coach is under investigation. Accused of cutting antivax players. Bob costas is here to sort it all out for us. Bob, do you think Theres Something unique to these athletes . Or do you think, if we drill down on other professions, carpenters, architects, who knows, wed find the same propensity of antivaxing . Well, i think what we should say, despite the fact that many of us are disappointed that its not closer to 100 . And you get some of the ignorant attitudes from athletes that you hear elsewhere. Overall, among the leagues not talking about tennis now where the most prominent player, novak djokovic, is among the vaccine resistant as he goes for the grand slam. But among the leagues, nba, nfl, major League Baseball, im guessing nhl, the rate of vaccination is actually higher than the population at large. Overall, its around 90 to 93 and the nfl is one example. Carson wenz, earlier today, had the following to say on this issue. I respect everybody elses decision. And, you know, i just ask that everybody does the same for me. I know thats not the world we live in. Not everyones going to equally view things the same. Um, but yeah. No one really knows whats going on in Someone Someone elses household and how things are being handled so its a personal decision. Thats just where im at on it. He also spoke of doing his own research. Of doing a lot of research. What thoughts do you have . Yeah. My my thought is this. Lets ignore every credible uh organization, every credible individual. The overwhelming, nearunanimous scientific consensus, that the vaccines are not only effective but that they are safe and that they are, by far, our best alternative. And lets go looking on the internet somewhere. Or on some partisancable outlet that that Trucks In traffics, rather, in in Fear And Resentment and doesnt want to tell its Audience Anything that they have determined that audience doesnt want to hear. Lets trust that. Okay . Yeah, its a personal decision. Its a personal decision to smoke. But that doesnt mean you can come into any Restaurant And Light up. Its a personal decision, i would hope if you have a license to do so, to carry a gun. But even the most absolute Nra Person doesnt think they can carry a gun onto an airplane. This stuff gets to a point where its not a matter of personal opinion. Youre not required to respect opinions that put others in danger. Jerry jones, who i would say is not a leftwing guy, the owner of the Dallas Cowboys says in sports, we always talk about we. Why is why are all these people more concerned now with i . This is a team thing. And teams that lose players, either because theyre theyre in close contact with someone who tests positive or because the player, themselves, tests positive. Those place a team at a competitive disadvantage. We have seen it during the course of this season in baseball. Sean mcdermott, the coach of the buffalo bills, has come out and said it. He says were about 80 vaccinated but its not enough. What if we Cant Practice . What if we Cant Field the guys we want to field . We are at a competitive disadvantage. Do you think that they are young and perceive themselves to be invincible and that they are more concerned about Side Effects for 48 hours than a virus that theyre convinced theyd beat if they got it . Yeah, i think that probably has a good deal to do with it. Younger people tend to think of themselves as invincible. Ive heard some athletes say, ill worry about covid when i get it. Or ill take the vaccine if i get it. Right. They dont get it. They dont get it up here. They may get covid. You know, and some of this is a result of a proliferation of outlets where people dont get alternative points of view that are informed. But where they can go and suit themselves seeking out misinformation. Thats as much as of an epidemic as the covid virus, itself. Final question. Is it a political thing . Is is there a Maga Streak that runs through these elite athletes . To some extent, there is a Maga Streak. Among africanamerican athletes, as we know, there is some understandable mistrust in the africanamerican community which has historical roots because of the Tuskegee Experiment and other times. Sure. When government entities abused africanamericans. An extreme injustice. And some of that mistrust has carried down through the generations which is why it would be extremely helpful if more africanamerican athletes who have been vaccinated would come out, publicly, and say so. And advocate for it. And by The Way, every time you hear an athlete and im not going to call anybody out by name every time you hear an athlete say its a personal decision, that means they havent been vaccinated. Id interpret it the exact same way. Hey, bob, its been too long. It is great to see you. Thank you for being here. Thanks, michael. Have a goodlong weekend. You, too. Rfk was assassinated.

Sirhan sirhan is now 77 years old. Hes gone before the Parole Board 16 times. This is the closest hes ever gotten to freedom. Sirhans actions may have forever changed the course of hintry. At the time of his death, rfk was considered a favorite for the 1968 democratic president ial nomination. Our Natasha Chen looks at how history could be rewritten, again. Senator kennedy has been shot. Is that possible . Reporter the possible release of the man who assassinated Robert Kennedy 53 years ago is dividing the family of the formeru. S. President Ial Candidate and senator. In june of 1968, kennedys ten children lost their father when Sirhan Sirhan shot him in the Kitchen Hallway of the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles. Hold onto the guy. His 11th child, Rory Kennedy, wasnt born until later that year. Now, responding to a california Parole Board Panels Recommendation last week to grant parole to her fathers assassin, she wrote an oped in The New York Times asking how . Having committed one of the most notorious assassinations of the latter part of the 20th Century can you be considered rehabilitated when you wont even acknowledge your role in the crime, itself . Five of rorys siblings also oppose parole for sirhan. Sirhan, a palestinian, was said to be outraged with Kennedys Proposal to send military planes to israel. He was convicted and sentenced to death but his sentence was commuted to life with the possibility of parole after california did away with the Death Penalty in 1972. At a Parole Hearing in 2011, Sirhans Memory of events was hazy. The shooting of the gun. How long did you have the gun . I dont remember that. Im not aware that i took it in. Im not aware that i fired with it. But i was confronted with it later on and and i had to take responsibility for that. And i do. Reporter responsibility for a killing that shaped the course of an alreadyturbulent political era just two months after the assassination of dr. Martin luther king, jr. , and nearly five years after the assassination of his own brother, president john f. Kennedy. How do you feel about what you did . Just the most horrible thing that any Human Being can do to another. Reporter two of Robert Kennedys children support his release. My father was taken away from me. Reporter Douglas Kennedy who attended last weeks Parole Hearing and robert f. Kennedy, jr. , who wrote a Letter Saying in part, while nobody can speak definitively on behalf of my father, i firmly believe that based on his own Consuming Commitment to fairness and justice, that he would strongly encourage this board to release mr. Sirhan because of mr. Sirhans impressive record of rehabilitation. Sirhan had been denied parole 15 times. But last week, prosecutors did not oppose a release because they were not in the room. Thats because the Los Angeles county district attorney, george gasgon, who was elected in late 2020, directed his prosecutors to stop attending Parole Hearings. His office says this allows the Parole Board to make an objective decision, not just based on the facts of the crime but also on how the person has behaved in the years since committing it. A point of debate among the kennedys now watching the 120day Review Period to see what the full california Parole Board decides. And whether Governor Gavin Newsom weighs in after that. Natasha chen, cnn, Los Angeles. Unbelievable story. I want to bring in a reporter for the Washington Post. Tom jackman. Hes been focusing extensively on this story. Tom, i should point out, Rfk Jr. Doesnt just want Sirhan Sirhan paroled. He thinks he didnt kill his father, right . He does. Now, the question is, is that relevant to parole . I mean, is actual innocence relevant . And a lot of people would say no. Just as a lot of people would say the fact that he killed one of the most important people of the 20th Century is irrelevant. That he, you know, should be judged strictly on how hes behaved in prison. Whether or not hes been rehabilitated, whether hes remorseful, whether hes got a plan for his release. All the sort of minutiae of parole. But youre right. Robert f. Kennedy, jr. , believes, along with a lot of people, that because his father was shot in the back of the Head And Sirhan was in front of him, that sirhan did not fire the fatal shots. But he and others, including paul who was standing behind bobby kennedy and got hit by a bullet that went like that. Mess up my hair. That he that sirhan fired shots that did wound the people behind kennedy but not the shots that killed kennedy. Do you think the outcome of the recent hearing is is more on account of the l. A. County da not showing up . Did that matter . Is that what this is all about . Is that whats driving this . So, theres two people in the Parole Board. They have a Twoperson Panel that hears it and they, specifically, said one of them did that that did not impact our decision. That we understand the the outlook of prosecutors, in general. We weve heard them in the past. The lapd, the Los Angeles police, wrote a Letter Saying we dont want that guy out. And and represented to the Parole Board that they were speaking for the kennedy family. That caused Robert Kennedy, jr. , last friday during the hearing to send in a Letter Saying that letter from the Los Angeles police does not represent all of the family. And so, he was he was not there. He had agreed not to sort of take an active stance because most of the family doesnt agree with him. The widow, still with us. Has she weighed in . I mean, it seems like all the kids have weighed in. Has the widow weighed in . She hasnt spoken publicly but in that new york times oped that Rory Kennedy wrote, she said that my mother approves what i am about to say in this article. My mother approves our opposition to parole. So, i havent heard from her directly. I dont know of any reporter that has. But rory says that her mother, also, opposes it. Okay. So, what now . There are still several steps that must occur, including the governor, gavin newsom, Governor Elder i say that and people will be upset with me. Just making a little joke. Who knows what happens . Um, but where does this go from here . So from that Twoperson Panel which recommends parole, it goes to the full, i think its 17 members of the Parole Board who have 120 days, four months, to review this. So that takes us to The End of the year. That itll still be in the Parole Board. And then, after that, if they whatever they do, they can say they can reject it and say no parole. But it still goes to the governor, who can then reverse that. But at The End of i guess it would be at The End of december, the Parole Board will make a decision. And then, that goes to the governor, whether its Newsom Or Elder or somebody else. And that would be in january. What is what okay. And and quickly if youre able, whats the issue . Theoretically, what are those paroleboard members supposed to be asking themselves as they look at Sirhan Sirhan . Theyre supposed to be asking themselves, has he shown remorse . Has he been rehabilitated in prison . Has he demonstrated that he is not a danger to society . Thats the big one. You know . This guys convicted of murder one. Is he gonna go out and commit more violence . And they seem convinced at age 77, after being in there for 53 years, that hes not a danger to society. That was their main, you know, feature in terms of deciding that he was suitable for release. Incredible. Tom, great job. Thank you so much for being here and for what you have written on this. Thanks, man. Lfg. I cant tell you what it stands for on television but i can tell you its a new film youre going to want to see. Its about the u. S. Womens Soccer Teams fight for equality that has taken some kicks over time and a lot of twists and turns. Ill be right back with the directors of the film, next. [ring] [ring ring] [ring] oh no. I thought i just ordered tacos. Nope sushi. Ramen. Burgers. Tandoori chicken. Some milk from the store, and. And, let me guess. Cookies . Wha, Me Hungry yeah.

It was an easy decision to apply with sofi loans, just based on the Interest Rate and how much i would be saving. There was only one that stood out and one that actually made sense and that was sofi personal loans. It felt so freeing. I felt like i was finally out of this neverending trap of interest and payments and debt. Four olympic gold medals, four World Cup championships but now the u. S. Womens national Soccer Team may face its biggest challenge, fight for Equal Pay. Undisputed global leaders of the sport but in suit they alleged theyre not getting what the Mens Team makes. Federal Court Judge disagreed last year, throwing out the claim. Found they negotiated a different Pay Structure and women were already paid more than the men. Theyre appealing. Legal battle enters next chapter, lfg looks at Grit Ad Determination off and off the field. Lawsuit is something no professional athlete would want to happen. So much work, takes you away from your sport, very stressful. Same sentiment thats been happening for years and years, decades and seconds through different negotiates. Something needs to completely collapse and crumble, and we need to build it up. We are in camp a lot. Then theres times when were in completely different time zones, states thats great, guys, thank you for doing this. There is a lot of phone calls, a lot of text messages, a lot of Emails Strategizing and keeping everyone on the same page. Carlos is only one with his eye on that. Discriminated peoples dont have the luxury of [ bleep ]ing around frankly so our players are having to form what the lawsuit is. Figuring out all the inequalities going through the contracts and other contracts, its hours and hours and hours and hours and hours and hours of our time. Joining us now, the directors of lfg, andrea New York Knicks Nicks Fine and sean fein. Andrea, ill start with you. Theyre the best in the world and yet, there is a David Versus Goliath Element to this. How come . I think it kind of goes back to despite being like the most global icons of women in athletics, arguably known Around The World for being the best as what they do and right before they step on the World Stage to compete in the World Cup do they drop a lawsuit about their value . So we thought there had to be a story in there and there did. There is a long root of this story, this team, the collected, the u. S. Womens national Soccer Team has been fighting this fight for decades we found out and its a story that had never been told. Sean, is that Story Line diminished by the fact as i mentioned in the introduction a federal judge said wait a minute, i cant go along with this and as a matter of fact, youre doing better than the men are . No, i dont think its diminished at all. Its just indicative of what theyre fighting for and what theyre fighting against. They have been fighting for over two decades and will keep fighting and trying to get what they feel is equally deserved, which is Equal Pay and thats what theyre fighting for. So the other part is, like, what that judge, i think, and what megan says gracefully in our film got wrong and what they feel the judge got wrong is that yes, they are making more but theyre having to win so many more games than the Mens Team and theyre winning top level games. Theyre winning World Cups. Theyre winning huge tournaments. They are making a little more but thats from winning all the games and being the best in the world while the men have not even won a World Cup or been to a lot of tournaments that they have won and theyre making a almost as much. So its what theyre fighting for and i think they will keep fighting. Andrea, was it a struggle for you to tell both sides of this story . I ask because the Soccer Federation says its not fair. In reviewing the film, the Washington Post said they failed, meaning the two of you, needing to explain both sides of a complicated issue. I know youre aware to the criticism. Please, speak to it. Were aware of it and i think that it doesnt bother us because i think the majority of the reviews and the majority of people that know anything about this case realize its a much more complicated story, which is why we wanted the women to delve into it and share theirs. I think in The End of the day, we stepped out with an open heart, open mind about really wanting to tell this story and meet it where its at and we were clearly and quickly given a strong message from the u. S. Soccer federation they were not interested in any kind of story about Equal Pay. We needed to tell the story of the people who were willing to speak with us and that was the players themselves and we wanted them to tell the story in their own words. We asked u. S. Soccer to participate and they declined so we worked with them in Background Research and made sure we wanted to bring the public messaging forward. That was their choice and we made the film that we feel is very fair and every Fact And Figure is from Court Documents and statements and we feel really good about it. Sean, lfg, if it were my Siriusxm Radio Show id say it four times. It cnn. Im being respectful. Whats that in reference to . Its let fing go which is the Battle Cry that the women give in the Locker Room before they take the field. Its kind of their motto, and, you know, we because its their story theyre telling in their words, we felt actually andrea felt that was an appropriate Title And Feeling of the entire film. So what is the next step, andrea, if you can take it in 30 seconds and tell me not relative to the film but in terms of the story and legal case, where does it end up . They will go the distance. This team will never back down. If we learned anything, the fights and appeal, they will continue this fight and can settle any time with u. S. Soccer. As of now, they will go the full distance and perhaps see the inside of a courtroom. Andrea, sean, thanks and best wishes with the film. Thank you very much, michael. Have a good night. Have a good night. You, too. Be sure to watch lfg now that you know what it represents Monday Night 9 00 eastern on cnn. Well be right back. Without my medication, my small tremors would be extreme.
