I want to play a clip for you right now. That's the part of which is the first part of which is set off a little bit of a controversy in the Democratic Party at the presidential level . Let's just watch this from the debate in Las Vegas here's the scenario from a rural state. What I can tell Secretary Clinton that all the shouting in the world is not going to do what I would hope. All of us want and that is keep guns out of the hands of people who should not have those guns and end this horrible violence that we are seeing. Okay so you watch this debate right now. Yes . OK. When Bernie Sanders said that did you think he was taking a shot at Hillary Clinton or making a comment about the gun debate in America. That's a good question. I'm I have to say that this is such an incredibly important issue to discuss and I did feel like I'm a little offended that he thought it was all about shouting and about such an important issue. I think it is a shot at her. No I didn't. But I am concerned about his position on all of this because there are women and men across this country who are incredibly upset about gun violence and is a major issue and I really felt across the board that he was taking those concerns really lightly. That's a fair point. But Secretary Clinton had a different point of view about that comment or at least said she had a different point of view. So let's watch another piece of tape and see what she had to say in the last few days. I've been told to stop shouting about ending gun violence. Well I haven't been shouting but sometimes when a woman speaks out. Some people think it's shouting so she has made that comment several times in the last few days . And apparently she took Senator Sanders comment as a personal slight against her. Do you think you should also be accused now of kind of trying to play the victim card by doing what I just said you did. Do you think she's doing that playing the victim card do you think there are political risks there. No I absolutely don't. I think what she's saying is that when you know oftentimes when women stand up and really make their points clear. We've all known at least most women watching today have had an experience where folks thought they were shouting right when it wasn't about shouting It was actually about talking very seriously about issues. But in this context she's referring to Senator Sanders what he said you said before you didn't think she was even referring to her so. But I do think he's referring to a lot of folks who have been very adamant about this and a lot of women who have been leading the fight on on gun violence across the country. And I do think that is disrespectful if you could wave a wand and change from the Affordable Care Act to single payer would that be your preference. Well I think we need to just keep moving forward. I understand but I said which is a better system if you do have to about the politics. Would you rather the Affordable Care Act or single payer. I think we have a very strong system. We've gotten more more and more Americans on health insurance. And I think this is again which would you prefer if you could have your way we would say Oh I'm not I personally I'm not a health care expert. And what I expect in our Congress and our government is to really look at all these issues and what is the best for you don't want you don't want single payer. So now I want I want folks to have access to health care and the best way they can. That's insurance coverage. I think that's great. What's the scope of what Emily's List will do to help Hillary Clinton win the nomination. How much will you spend what kind of footsoldiers Do you have. Well Emily's List is a movement of 3 million women and good men who with us who are very excited about this race . So we're going to be behind her on the campaign trail. I actually was personally just up in New Hampshire doing Women for Hillary events across this across the state. What does that mean. What we're also doing well more importantly what the real question is what how much money are you putting into this. And we have a great partnership with Priorities USA where EMILY's List is going to be leading the way. Talking to millennial women in particular. It's a 20 million dollar project that we are focused on in 2016. And we feel like it's just out of the nomination fight or also if she's a nominee for the general the 20 million. Yeah. This is what we're going to started in early 2016 and go throughout we're going to we're going to engage millennials particularly millennial women in battleground states . So Hillary Clinton not the only woman running for president over in the other party you got Carly Fiorina who also would be a historic nominee and a historic president if she were ultimately to be elected president what do you make of Carly Fiorina s campaign . Well what we say at Emily's List is we would we would love to cheer for a Republican woman except the problem is with Carly Fiorina and often with Republican women candidates as they don't stand up for women and families. And it's why we still probably support Hillary Clinton and support Democratic women across the country. It's not just about being a woman though we do need more women leaders in this country. It is about what you're going to do and who you're fighting for. Do you think if she was the Republican nominee she would be the Republican who would stand the best chance of narrowing the gender gap in a general election or is there another Republican you worry about more. I think right now we're looking at an entire group of Republican candidates running for president who have alienated women across the country. Who we're looking at very likely having a Republican nominee whoever it is who's going to be the most extreme we've ever seen on women's health care that that is going to increase the gender. It does not matter about gender . It is about the positions they're taking. And women voters are not going to stand with with the Republican nominee no matter who he or she is. Did you get Hillary Clinton birthday present . We didn't get a really nice Gephardt card but it looks like some big card with lots of wonderful signatures of our members across the country .
