Does a 4 00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:15,080 Speaker 2: candidate or a public person pass the litmus test of 5 00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:17,720 Speaker 2: the day.

All right, let's dig in. 33 00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:49,000 Speaker 1: First. 34 00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:50,800 Speaker 2: I want to tell you about a recent experience I 35 00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:52,760 Speaker 2: had in New York City just a few weeks ago. 36 00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:55,360 Speaker 2: I was staying in a hotel and have actually stayed 37 00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:58,880 Speaker 2: there before, but I didn't know this about this hotel. Okay, 38 00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:03,400 Speaker 2: So the hotel restaurant has this all gender bathroom. Yeah, 39 00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:05,480 Speaker 2: it's one of those things that you don't really know 40 00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:07,040 Speaker 2: is back there until you get there. 41 00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:09,880 Speaker 1: So you have to go to the bathroom. You excuse yourself. 42 00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:13,600 Speaker 2: You walk down this long hallway and it says all 43 00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:14,519 Speaker 2: gender bathroom. 44 00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:15,720 Speaker 1: It's like hitting in the corner. 45 00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:19,000 Speaker 2: So you couldn't technically go back there with a guy 46 00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:22,520 Speaker 2: you're working with and then find out, oh yeah, we're 47 00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:24,600 Speaker 2: actually going into the bathroom together. 48 00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:25,360 Speaker 1: Okay. 49 00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:27,920 Speaker 2: So even when I first saw it, I'm like, Okay, 50 00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:31,360 Speaker 2: it says all gender, but I'm sure this is like 51 00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,640 Speaker 2: one person. I'm gonna walk in and there's not going 52 00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:39,519 Speaker 2: to be a guy in there. But noop, it's actually sinks. 53 00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:42,680 Speaker 2: And then you go back and there are stalls, and 54 00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:45,760 Speaker 2: the stalls are like regular stalls that you can find 55 00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:47,480 Speaker 2: in a girls bathroom. I don't know what it's like 56 00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:50,440 Speaker 2: in a boys bathroom. I'm assuming the stalls are the same, 57 00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:53,639 Speaker 2: but I feel like when we share a bathroom there 58 00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:56,640 Speaker 2: should be Florida ceiling salls like your own room. It's 59 00:02:56,680 --> 00:03:01,440 Speaker 2: not as though you're just hanging out to a dude 60 00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:04,640 Speaker 2: who is also going to the bathroom. But that's what 61 00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:07,280 Speaker 2: it was, open top, open bottom, next to a guy. 62 00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:09,560 Speaker 2: Now there's someone in there. When I go in there, 63 00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,480 Speaker 2: I'm assuming the worst, like this is a guy. So 64 00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:15,040 Speaker 2: you know, I'm hiding in the stall because I'm not 65 00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:16,880 Speaker 2: gonna come out and wash my hands next to him. 66 00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:20,280 Speaker 2: And maybe you're like, tudor, give me break. This is 67 00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:23,200 Speaker 2: the twenty first century. You can share a bathroom with 68 00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:25,360 Speaker 2: a man. But I'm just gonna be honest with you. 69 00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:27,800 Speaker 2: I'm out on this one. I don't want to share 70 00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:30,399 Speaker 2: a bathroom with a dude. I don't like next being 71 00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:33,760 Speaker 2: next to my male coworker listening to the sounds of 72 00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:38,320 Speaker 2: bowel movements and splashing and take lay like that sounds horrible. 73 00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:41,480 Speaker 1: And then I mean, what if something bad happens the. 74 00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:43,600 Speaker 2: Need to come out and you're like washing your hands 75 00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:46,600 Speaker 2: and he turns over, he's like bad cast day today. 76 00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:49,360 Speaker 2: I mean, what do you say, Yeah, you know, garlic 77 00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:52,560 Speaker 2: doesn't sit well. I mean, it's terrible. I don't want 78 00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:56,760 Speaker 2: to be next to a guy. Not acceptable or heaven forbid, 79 00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:59,720 Speaker 2: I have to unwrap some sort of a feminine product. 80 00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:01,960 Speaker 2: And then he hears it like I thought you were 81 00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:04,400 Speaker 2: a little aggressive in today's meeting, but I'm going to 82 00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:06,480 Speaker 2: excuse it because obviously we're at that. 83 00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:09,800 Speaker 1: Time of the month. No, just no, we do not 84 00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:12,320 Speaker 1: want to share bathrooms. I'm totally against this. 85 00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:16,880 Speaker 2: The worst part though, something I hadn't thought about with 86 00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:20,280 Speaker 2: this because this has been an issue of political issue 87 00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:23,320 Speaker 2: in the state of Michigan in the schools, and I 88 00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:26,080 Speaker 2: had not thought about this part because I have not 89 00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:28,800 Speaker 2: had to deal with urinals in my life. I'm a 90 00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:30,880 Speaker 2: girl and I have all girls, and it's just never 91 00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:32,839 Speaker 2: been a thing for us, right, I never really thought 92 00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:35,039 Speaker 2: about why they even exist, didn't have to. 93 00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:38,920 Speaker 1: But then that day in the bathroom, I'm like, oh 94 00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:40,560 Speaker 1: my word. 95 00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:43,800 Speaker 2: This is why there are urinals, because dudes have to 96 00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:47,479 Speaker 2: put the set up in the bottom of a public 97 00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:55,359 Speaker 2: restroom seat is a total nightmare an s show, like 98 00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:58,839 Speaker 2: exactly that, I mean, all over it. 99 00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:02,240 Speaker 1: It is really gross. And there were no urinals. 100 00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:05,320 Speaker 2: It's not like you're in a all gender bathroom and 101 00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:07,479 Speaker 2: you go into the stall and there's a urinal ana toilet. 102 00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:09,400 Speaker 1: No, it's a toilet, so you have to touch the 103 00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:10,039 Speaker 1: toilet seats. 104 00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:13,080 Speaker 2: So clearly the guy before me was like, I'm gonna 105 00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:15,280 Speaker 2: put the toilet set up, saw the bottom of it, 106 00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:17,800 Speaker 2: the same nightmare I saw, and he probably thought there's 107 00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:20,400 Speaker 2: no chance I'm touching this again. Put it down, So 108 00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:22,720 Speaker 2: then I got to put it down. There are all 109 00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:27,720 Speaker 2: kinds of reasons this doesn't work. We should not have 110 00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:31,240 Speaker 2: an all gender bathroom, But I'm like, Okay, what am 111 00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:34,599 Speaker 2: we gonna do about this? I mean, this is a 112 00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:37,159 Speaker 2: hotel in New York City. New York City is like 113 00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:40,120 Speaker 2: so progressive. There's probably nothing I can do. I can 114 00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:42,920 Speaker 2: stop going to the hotel. Other people can stop going 115 00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:45,480 Speaker 2: to the hotel. They're probably not going to I mean 116 00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:48,120 Speaker 2: you literally have to go to the bathroom in the restaurant. 117 00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:51,479 Speaker 2: The rooms were nice, but this was a nightmare. So 118 00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:55,320 Speaker 2: probably media, I'm not gonna do anything. I think that 119 00:05:55,720 --> 00:06:00,000 Speaker 2: what is gonna happen is eventually someone's gonna go man, 120 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:01,880 Speaker 2: and this is a really stupid decision, because this is 121 00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:05,279 Speaker 2: my theory on it. There's going to be something that 122 00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:08,159 Speaker 2: happens in this bathroom that is going to be bad, 123 00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:11,680 Speaker 2: whether it is something really bad, like a woman gets 124 00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:14,680 Speaker 2: attacked in there, a woman has some sort of sexual 125 00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:17,960 Speaker 2: assault in there, or just there's kids in there and 126 00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:20,400 Speaker 2: people go in there and they do something because there's 127 00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:22,120 Speaker 2: a man and a woman in the bathroom and you 128 00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:24,279 Speaker 2: can do whatever you want. I just think that at 129 00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:27,840 Speaker 2: some point something's going to go bad in the all 130 00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:32,200 Speaker 2: gender restroom, and companies are going to make that decision 131 00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:34,520 Speaker 2: like this is a bad idea. We should no longer 132 00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:37,400 Speaker 2: have all gender bathrooms. We're going to have to abort 133 00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:41,919 Speaker 2: this mission. But do I think government should have control 134 00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:46,599 Speaker 2: to stop the all gender bathrooms? No? I actually don't 135 00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:50,480 Speaker 2: think the government should go into private businesses and stop 136 00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:53,200 Speaker 2: this because, like I said, I think it's going to 137 00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:54,080 Speaker 2: stop on its own. 138 00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:57,839 Speaker 1: But when it gets to schools, I think it's different. 139 00:06:57,880 --> 00:06:59,839 Speaker 2: And this is kind of like one of those reasons 140 00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:02,240 Speaker 2: that pushed me into running, and I was like one 141 00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:06,120 Speaker 2: of those moments where I'm like, Okay, we have to 142 00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:09,200 Speaker 2: protect our kids. There are certain places where government plays 143 00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:11,800 Speaker 2: a role, and I want them to protect our kids. 144 00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:15,480 Speaker 2: So I say, look in our hometown, our middle school 145 00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:20,040 Speaker 2: is about to have all gender bathrooms, not some of 146 00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:23,600 Speaker 2: the bathrooms. It's not like you, as a middle schooler, 147 00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:25,960 Speaker 2: can go to one bathroom and it's all gender, or 148 00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:28,200 Speaker 2: you can go to your regular bathroom. Is all of 149 00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:32,800 Speaker 2: the bathrooms are going to be all genders. So think 150 00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:35,560 Speaker 2: about this, like middle school taboosts like the worst time 151 00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:38,760 Speaker 2: of your life. There's zits, there's periods starting, it's makeup, 152 00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:42,480 Speaker 2: and even worse, like what if the dreaded diarrhea happens 153 00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:44,560 Speaker 2: at school. I know this is graphic, good, come on, 154 00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:47,920 Speaker 2: think about this. It's horrific to experience in front of 155 00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:51,200 Speaker 2: your friend of the same gender, But imagine having that 156 00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:54,160 Speaker 2: happen in middle school in front of the opposite gender. 157 00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:57,680 Speaker 2: I mean, movies had been made about this kind of embarrassment, 158 00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:00,600 Speaker 2: and yet we're going to allow this iner So this 159 00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:04,320 Speaker 2: is where I'm like, okay, okay, this is where government 160 00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:08,559 Speaker 2: steps in and protects kids from this. They step in 161 00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:12,760 Speaker 2: and they stop the disasters before it happened. Happens like 162 00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:17,440 Speaker 2: in a school, that's possible, But in general, government isn't 163 00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:20,680 Speaker 2: really the answer to everything, and I think that's something 164 00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:24,720 Speaker 2: that we've gotten away from Sometimes when I hear people 165 00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:28,640 Speaker 2: and pundits and social media influencers like I want government 166 00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:30,240 Speaker 2: to do this, and I want government to do that, 167 00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:33,679 Speaker 2: And even people on the conservative side are like, more government, 168 00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:37,000 Speaker 2: more government. They don't think that's what they're saying, but 169 00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:42,760 Speaker 2: they're actually saying, I want government to be in total control. 170 00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:46,840 Speaker 2: And I'm like, no, no, no, no, you don't, no. 171 00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:47,199 Speaker 1: You don't. 172 00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:52,640 Speaker 2: So you want, I believe your candidates to be running 173 00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:56,720 Speaker 2: for office to protect your freedoms, not force you to 174 00:08:56,760 --> 00:09:01,040 Speaker 2: live under more laws or more rules or create big government. 175 00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:03,920 Speaker 2: I say this because I'm telling you, I hear a 176 00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:07,000 Speaker 2: lot of people that are like wanting to destroy this 177 00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:10,400 Speaker 2: or that, like pick apart our systems. They think they 178 00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:13,560 Speaker 2: have a better idea than something that's worked for years. 179 00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:17,760 Speaker 2: Some people they've already effectively taken apart parts of government. 180 00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:19,840 Speaker 2: I mean, whether it's the right or the left, it's like, 181 00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:22,440 Speaker 2: we're gonna do this better. We're going to destroy this 182 00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:26,280 Speaker 2: and rebuild it. Even our party parts of it beaten up, 183 00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:29,520 Speaker 2: left for dead because it didn't meet the litmus test 184 00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:32,400 Speaker 2: of a very few, a very loud few, but a 185 00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:35,840 Speaker 2: very few. And whether it's their test of the day, 186 00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:38,680 Speaker 2: whatever their test of the day is, you have to 187 00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:41,240 Speaker 2: ask yourself. And I see a lot of folks on 188 00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:44,679 Speaker 2: the left asking this too, to our detriment. 189 00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:46,640 Speaker 1: That is, is the. 190 00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:49,720 Speaker 2: Right out there right now the loudest voices on the right, 191 00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:53,800 Speaker 2: Are they out there saying the greatest experiment in the 192 00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:57,199 Speaker 2: history of the world, the United States of America, does 193 00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:01,440 Speaker 2: not work anymore, that this country needs to be dismantled 194 00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:03,000 Speaker 2: or rebuilt. 195 00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:05,079 Speaker 1: No, the right is not saying that. 196 00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:07,520 Speaker 2: You might be hearing that from some of the loudest 197 00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:11,240 Speaker 2: voices on the right, but in general, no, that's not 198 00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:14,319 Speaker 2: what we want. But some people on the right are 199 00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:19,640 Speaker 2: asking for government to control everything. We're at this moral crossroads, 200 00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:22,720 Speaker 2: and like, the funny thing about this is we thought 201 00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:26,520 Speaker 2: the moral crossroads was drag shows for kids on one 202 00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:30,280 Speaker 2: side and churches on the other side. But the litmus test, 203 00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:36,120 Speaker 2: it's always a moving target, and sadly, it's a really 204 00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:40,280 Speaker 2: bizarre one. Now.
