TODAY THE REPEAL OF A CONTROVERSIAL
NORTH CAROLINA BATHROOM BILL, HB2 WAS SENT TO THE GOVERNOR,
BUT NOT EVERYONE IS HAPPY WITH THE COMPROMISED REPEAL BILL THAT
EVENTUALLY GOT PAST.
IF YOU WEREN'T AROUND FOR THE BILL, IT
WAS SIGNED LAST YEAR.
THIS NEW BILL WOULD REPEAL HB2- THE FIRST
PART IS GOOD, BUT THE LAST TWO
PARTS THEORETICALLY PAVE THE WAY FOR A GREAT DEAL OF
DISCRIMINATION AGAINST EXACTLY THE GROUPS THAT WERE TARGETED BY
THE BILL BEING REPEALED.
SOME
PEOPLE NOT HAPPY ABOUT IT.
THAT WAS A GREAT QUOTE RIGHT THERE.
>>LET ME EXPLAIN HOW RIGHT SHE IS.
THE HOUSE BILL TWO,
TERRIBLE, THEY TAKE IT AWAY.
IF YOU REPLACE IT WITH SOMETHING
THAT IS IDENTICAL TO IT THAN
WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?
WHEN IT SAYS CREATE A MORATORIUM ON
NONDISCRIMINATION ORDINANCES THAT MEANS LOCAL CITIES WANT TO
PASS A LAW SAYING THEY CANNOT DISCRIMINATE AGAINST GAY PEOPLE,
NOT ALLOWED.
LOCAL CITIZEN ARE
NOT ALLOWED UNTIL 2020 TO SAY YOU
CAN'T DISCRIMINATE AGAINST THEM.
SO IF THE STATE SAYS WE ARE
DISCRIMINATING AGAINST GAYS,
LOCAL CITIES CAN'T SAY I DON'T WANT TO.
ACCORDING TO THIS ROLE
YOU HAVE TO SIT THERE AND TAKE
IT.
WE WILL FORCE DISCRIMINATION DOWN YOUR THROAT.
WHERE IS THE
WIN?
THE SECOND PART IS IT LEAVES REGULATION OF BATHROOMS
TO STATE LAWMAKERS.
THESE ARE THE SAME PEOPLE THAT JUST TOLD
YOU THEY DON'T WANT TRANCE PEOPLE IN THE BATHROOM OF THEIR
CHOICE.
BY THE WAY WHAT HAPPENED TO WE WANT LOCAL GOVERNMENT IN
POWER?
IT TURNS OUT YOU ARE LYING ABOUT THAT.
YOU NEVER
MEANT
YOU WHAT LOCAL GOVERNMENT IN
POWER.
NOW WHEN IT TURNS OUT LOCAL CITIES ARE LESS RACIST
THAN YOU YOU ARE LIKE DON'T YOU DARE DO THAT.
AT THE STATE LEVEL
NOW THEY CAN TELL YOU WHICH BATHROOM YOU MUST GO IN
ACCORDING TO THIS LEGISLATION.
>> THEY GET TO DO THAT, THEY CAN PASS ANOTHER BILL THAT JUST
CLOSES THE GAP BETWEEN THIS IF THEY WANT TO BUT EVEN WITH THAT
IS NOT JUST THE LIBERALS THAT ARE ANGRY ABOUT THIS.
A LOT OF
REPUBLICANS ARE ANGRY AS WELL.
THEY STILL GET TO DISCRIMINATE
AGAINST THESE PEOPLE, EVEN THAT ISN'T ENOUGH FOR REPUBLICANS IN
NORTH CAROLINA.
>> A LOT OF REPUBLICANS VOTED AGAINST THIS BECAUSE THEY
THOUGHT IT WAS TOO LIBERAL.
BY THE WAY, SHMUCK OF NORTH
CAROLINA DIDN'T GOD CREATE
EVERYTHING?
IF SOMEONE SAYS I WAS BORN MALE BUT I KNOW MY IDENTITY IS
FEMALE, WHO PUT THAT IMPULSE IN YOU?
>> SATAN.
>>THERE YOU GO.
YOU GUYS BELIEVE IN THIS MYTHOLOGY BECAUSE THERE
IS SOME CHANCE IT WAS ACTUALLY JESUS.
>> MINERVA MIGHT HAVE GOTTEN INVOLVED.
>> THE CONSERVATIVE MIND CAN'T THINK OF MORE THAN 3 FEET AWAY
FROM IT.
THAT IS BASICALLY HOW THEY WORK.
>> LOOK, A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE NOT HAPPY WITH THE REPEAL OF HB2.
THEY GOT ALL THIS PUSHBACK.
WHY IS IT THE REPEAL COMPROMISED
SUCKS SO MUCH?
JAYAR JACKSON PUT TOGETHER SOME QUOTES FROM THE GOVERNOR OF
THE STATE TALKING ABOUT WHY IT IS THEY ENDED UP IN THE
POSITION THEY DID.
>> THIS IS A DEMOCRAT AND HE WON BECAUSE PEOPLE IN NORTH CAROLINA
DISLIKED THIS BILL SO MUCH THAT EVEN THOUGH THEY NORMALLY VOTE
REPUBLICAN, THE OUT OF THE REPUBLICAN THAT MADE THIS
BILL, NONETHELESS HERE HE HAS.
>> TODAY WE REPEAL HOUSE BILL 2 AND WE BEGIN TO END
DISCRIMINATION IN NORTH CAROLINA.
WE BEGIN TO BRING BACK
JOBS AND SPORTING EVENTS.
WE BEGIN TO REPAIR OUR REPUTATION.
UNDER HOUSE BILL 2 WE HAD ZERO
LGBT PROTECTIONS, ZERO.
TODAY'S LAW PROVIDES FOR LGBT
PROTECTIONS.
TODAY'S LAW NOT ONLY PROVIDES FOR LGBT
PROTECTIONS NOW, BUT OPENS THE
DOOR FOR MORE IN THE FUTURE.
THIS IS NOT A PERFECT DEAL AND
IT IS NOT A PREFERRED SOLUTION.
UNFORTUNATELY OUR SUPER MAJORITY
REPUBLICAN LEGISLATURE WILL NOT PASS THESE PROTECTIONS.
BUT THIS
IS AN IMPORTANT GOAL THAT I WILL KEEP FIGHTING FOR.
AND IN 2020
OUR LOCAL GOVERNMENTS WILL BE ABLE TO PASS STRONGER
NONDISCRIMINATION ORDINANCES
THAT PROTECT EVEN MORE PEOPLE.
I WISH IT WERE SOONER THAN 2020.
I
REALLY DO.
BUT WHILE THESE ADDITIONAL PROTECTIONS MAY BE
TEMPORARILY DELAYED, THEY WILL
NOT BE FOREVER DENIED . I CAN DEMAND THAT HB2 BE REPEALED
FULLY AS I HAVE BEEN DOING FOR A
LONG TIME, AND JUST NOT DO ANYTHING OTHER THAN DEMAND THAT
IT BE REPEALED.
AND THIS LAW WOULD'VE CONTINUED TO GO ON
FOREVER.
BUT IT WAS CLEAR THAT THEY WERE NOT GOING TO DO A FULL
REPEAL OF HOUSE BILL 2.
>>HE SAYS THIS OPENS THE DOOR FOR MORE PROTECTIONS IN THE
FUTURE.
THEORETICALLY IT ALSO OPENS THE DOOR FOR THOSE
PROTECTIONS TO BE TAKEN AWAY.
YOU JUST SAID THEY HAVE A SUPER
MAJORITY IN THE HOUSE WHICH IMPLIES THEY WILL BE THE ONES
PASSING THOSE BILLS.
THIS IDEALISTIC FUTURE DOESN'T ACTUALLY MAKE SENSE ON THE
POLITICAL REALITY HE IS TRYING TO DESCRIBE.
>> THERE IS NO WAY THAT GUY WINS REELECTION.
HE REEKS WEAKNESS.
ONE PART OF THE LAW DOES NOT ALLOW LOCAL ORDINANCES TO STOP
DISCRIMINATION.
HOW DOES THAT OPEN THE DOOR FOR MORE
PROTECTIONS?
IT SLAMS THE DOOR SHUT ON IT.
>> AND SETS A PRECEDENT OF BEING ABLE TO BLOCK IT.
>> IT LITERALLY DOES NOT ALLOW YOU TO PROTECT GAY PEOPLE AT THE
LOCAL LEVEL IN NORTH CAROLINA.
IT IS MAINLY A GIGANTIC
CONCESSION BY THIS WEEK ASS DEMOCRAT .
HOW ABOUT YOU GO AND
BREAK THEM?
WHAT DO YOU SAY THESE IDIOTS JUST COST US $3.7
MILLION IN LOST BUSINESS, THE NCAA WHEN NORTH CAROLINA IS IN
THE FINAL FOUR.
LOOK WHAT THEY
DID TO YOU NORTH CAROLINA.
THEY JUST COST US IN NBA ALL-STAR
GAME.
GET HIM OUT OF OFFICE.
THERE IS NO WAY THIS WEEK SAUCE
DUDE EVER GETS REELECTED.
HE IS JUST SO LUCKY THE DEMOCRATIC
ESTABLISHMENT IS LIKE PICK A LOSER, ANY LOSER.
>>HAVE TO ADMIT WHENEVER WE ARE PLAYING A VIDEO AND THE PERSON
HAS EVEN THE SLIGHTEST SOUTHERN ACCENT I THINK IT IS NOT GOING
TO GO WELL FOR THEM.
>>REMEMBER AS SOON AS HE WAS ELECTED THE SUPER MAJORITY STATE
LEGISLATURE ALONG WITH PAT MCCRORY SAID LET'S STRIP HIM OF
ALL OF THESE POWERS THAN A
NORMAL GOVERNOR WOULD HAVE AND LET'S MAKE SURE HE HAS NONE OF
THAT.
HIS RESPONSE WAS I WOULD LIKE TO WORK WITH THIS MAJORITY.
>>THAT IS A GREAT POINT.
THEY STRIP YOU OF YOUR POWERS, WHAT
DO YOU DO?
YOU GIVE THEM UNLIMITED POWER UNTIL 2020.
YOU
THINK THEY WILL LISTEN TO ANY
AGREEMENT IN 2020?
NO.
IF THEY ARE IN CHARGE THEY ARE GOING TO
DO WHATEVER THEY WANT.
THAT IS AN OPENHANDED SLAP BOY.
THIS IS
A TERRIBLE SO-CALLED COMPROMISE.
IT IS AN ATTEMPT TO SAY LET'S GET BEHIND THE BOYCOTT.
>> I THINK IT WILL ALREADY BE
OBVIOUS TO THE PEOPLE OF NORTH
CAROLINA THAT CARED ABOUT THE BILL AND HAVE FOUGHT AGAINST IT.
VERY OFTEN WE END THE STORIES
WITHOUT GIVING ADVICE.
IT IS CLEAR WHAT YOU SHOULD DO IN THIS
CASE, CONTINUE THE ACTIVISM AND BOYCOTTS BECAUSE IT HAS REALLY
BEEN REPEALED.
THE JOB IS NOT ACTUALLY DONE.
>> PEOPLE ARE PRETENDING THIS IS GOOD NEWS, IT IS NOT.
GREAT NEWS
IS ECONOMIC SANCTIONS REALLY
WORK.
THEY DON'T WORK WITH DICTATORS, BUT IF YOU HAVE A
DIVERSE POWER BASE WITH A LOT OF BUSINESS INTEREST AND YOU HURT
THOSE BUSINESS INTERESTS, THEY PAY ATTENTION.
>> LIKE IN SOUTH AFRICA.
>>AND NOW IN NORTH CAROLINA.
UNDERSTAND THE MOST POWERFUL
THING YOU HAVE IS THE MONEY IN
YOUR POCKET.
KEEP THIS BOYCOTT GOING AND YOU WILL BREAK THEM.
THE GUY WHO IS NOT GOING TO
BREAK THEM IS MR.
COOPER.
I DON'T CARE TO HANG WITH MR.
COOPER
>> I KNEW IT WAS COMING.
HA HA.
