ABOUT 13 MILES PER HOUR. THAT'S THE LATEST, BACK TO YOU. >> THE DEVASTATION, IT'S REALLY TREMENDOUS. THANK YOU. >>> THERE'S A GROWING FOCUS ON REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL AFTER DONALD TRUMP FLOATED THE IDEA OF HAVING THE GOVERNMENT PAY FOR IVF TREATMENTS. IT'S A DIRECT COUNTER TO DEMOCRATS ATTACK THAT TRUMP IN THE REPUBLICAN PARTY ARE TRYING TO STRIP AWAY REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS. TRUMP OFTEN BRAGS ABOUT APPOINTING THE SUPREME COURT JUSTICES THAT HELP OVERTURN ROE VERSUS WADE, THAT SENT LOSS TO THE STATES ABOUT ABORTION BUT IT CALLED INTO QUESTION OTHER ASPECTS OF REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH CARE INCLUDING THINGS LIKE IVF. TRUMP IS CONTINUING HIS CAMPAIGN THROUGH PENNSYLVANIA, AND IN WASHINGTON, D.C., THE FORMER PRESIDENT IS PARTICIPATING IN AN INTERVIEW WITH THE FOUNDER OF THE PRO- LIFE GROUP, MOMS FOR LIBERTY. >>> SENATOR WARREN STUMPED FOR THE HARRIS CAMPAIGN FRIDAY AND CALLED OUT TRUMP SAYING HIS QUOTE FLAILING ABOUT INSURANCE COVERAGE DOESN'T CHANGE THE FACT THAT HIS EXTREMIST JUDGES CAN NOW BAN IVF ANYTIME, ANYWHERE. ZACH, DO WE HAVE ANY DETAILS ON THIS IDEA THAT TRUMP WAS FLOATING THAT THE GOVERNMENT WOULD PAY FOR IVF TREATMENT? >> HIS PLAN IS, EITHER THE GOVERNMENT OR INSURANCE COMPANIES THEMSELVES WOULD PAY FOR THESE KINDS OF TREATMENTS. I THINK WHAT HAS BEEN MISSED IN THE COVERAGE OF THAT IS JUST HOW DIFFICULT THAT WOULD BE TO DO LEGISLATIVELY BECAUSE WHAT THEY WOULD BE UP AGAINST IS FORCING CONGRESS TO INCREASE TAXES IF THE GOVERNMENT WERE TO PAY FOR IT OR TO ACTUALLY GO AGAINST THE PHARMACEUTICAL LOBBY IF IT WERE TO HAVE PHARMACEUTICAL INSURANCE COMPANIES PAY FOR IT, BOTH VERY DIFFICULT THINGS FOR CONGRESS TO DO. SO WHILE THIS DOES SORT OF SEND A VIRTUE SIGNAL THAT TRUMP IS ACKNOWLEDGING THAT THIS IS A DIFFICULT THING FOR PEOPLE, ELIZABETH WARREN HAS A POINT THAT EVEN IF THIS WERE TO HAPPEN WHICH THAT WOULD BE UNREALISTIC, IT WOULDN'T MATTER IF IT'S IN A STATE WHERE JUDGES HAVE MADE IVF ILLEGAL AND BEYOND THAT, IT'S JUST SOMETHING THAT POLITICALLY WOULD BE INCREDIBLY DIFFICULT TO DO. WE SEE POLITICIANS MAKE PROMISES LIKE THIS BUT IT REALLY IS MORE OF A VIRTUAL -- VIRTUE SIGNAL. >> LET ME ASK YOU ABOUT ANOTHER ATTACKING BY THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN BECAUSE THE FORMER PRESIDENT ALSO SAID THAT HE THINKS FLORIDA'S ABORTION BAN AT SIX WEEKS IS TOO SHORT. BUT HOW ARE CONSERVATIVES REACTING TO THOSE COMMENTS? >> WE ARE SEEING SOME OF THE FURTHER RIGHT GROUPS AND EVEN SOME LOCAL POLITICIANS IN STATES LIKE FLORIDA COME OUT AND SAY WHAT IS GOING ON HERE, OUR READER IS GOING DENSE. BUT THAT BEING SAID, I THINK THIS IS TRUMP ACKNOWLEDGING SOMETHING THAT HE HAS LONG ACKNOWLEDGED, SOMETIMES PUBLICLY BUT LONG ACKNOWLEDGED PRIVATELY THAT HE THINKS ABORTION IS SOMEWHAT OF A LOSING ISSUE FOR REPUBLICANS TO BE TALKING ABOUT. HE UNDERSTANDS GETTING THINGS DONE ON IT CAN BUY HIM GOODWILL WITH THE FAR RIGHT AND WITH THE RELIGIOUS RIGHT BUT HE ACKNOWLEDGES WHEN HE GETS STUCK TALKING ABOUT THIS, MOSTLY ONLY DAMAGE CAN BE DONE, NOT THAT MUCH CAN BE DONE WHEN HE IS TALKING ABOUT THIS THAT MIGHT HELP HIM IN THE CAMPAIGN. >> THIS IS THE MESSAGING UNDERCUT A MAJOR RALLYING CRY FOR DEMOCRATS, ARE THEY CONCERNED ABOUT THIS? >> I THINK IT DEFENDS AGAINST THE RALLYING CRY A LITTLE BIT. DEMOCRATS HAVE REALIZED THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT THE MORE THEY TALK ABOUT, THE MORE IT HURTS TRUMP. THAT BEING SAID, I THINK THEY CAN STILL POINT TO HIS RECORD ON ABORTION WHICH IS, A POINT IN IN COURT JUSTICES WHO HELPED OVERTURN ROE VERSUS WADE. SO DEMOCRATS STILL HAVE THE OPTION TO SAY, TRUMP MAY BE SOFTENING HIS TONE ON ABORTION BUT THIS IS STILL A MAN WHO HAS HAD THE MOST IMPACT ON ROLLING BACK ABORTION RIGHTS IN RECENT HISTORY. SO THEY STILL DO HAVE A STRONG ATTACK TO MAKE ON THE ISSUE. >> WE TALKED A LOT ABOUT TRUMP, WHAT IS THE HARRIS CAMPAIGN UP TO THIS WEEKEND? >> THEY WILL BE HEADED ON SUNDAY, GOVERNOR WALZ IS GOING TO GO TO THE MINNESOTA STATE FAIR WHICH WE'VE SEEN A FEW MINNESOTA POLITICIANS POSING WITH THE FIREMAN'S HAT, IT'S BECOME A VIRAL PHOTO AND THEN MONDAY WILL HAVE BIDEN AND HARRIS HEADED TO PITTSBURGH FOR AN EVENT AND I WOULD NOTE, THAT IS A PLACE WHERE PRESIDENT BIDEN
