>> FORMER NORTH CAROLINA GOV.
PAT MCCRORY IS BEST KNOWN FOR
SIGNING ONE OF THE MOST CONTROVERSIAL BITS OF
LEGISLATION LAST YEAR, HB2.
HE MADE IT MORE DIFFICULT TO
FIGHT AT THE LOCAL LEVEL AGAINST ANTI-GAY AND ANTI-TRANS
LEGISLATION.
AS A RESULT HE IS FEELING FINANCIAL PUSHBACK NOW
THAT HE HAS LEFT GOVERNMENT AND
GONE TO THE PRIVATE SECTOR.
>> THE LGBT THOUGH NARRATIVE IS GOING TO BE IF YOU ARE A
POLITICIAN AND YOU STAND UP
AGAINST THE LGBT MOVEMENT YOU WILL BE PUNISHED AS PAT WAS
PUNISHED.
WHETHER THAT IS TRUE, THAT IS GOING TO BE PART OF THEIR
NARRATIVE.
>>IT IS A PART OF THEIR NARRATIVE.
THEY ARE USING THIS
10,000 AS A WARNING TO
ANY POLITICIAN TO SPEAK AGAINST POLICIES WHICH ARE CONTRARY TO
THEIR AGENDA.
THEY HAVE ONE POLICY THAT WAS CONTRARY TO MY
AGENDA AND THAT IS A CHANGE IN THE DEFINITION OF GENDER.
AND
THAT IS WHAT THEY ARE TRYING TO
DO.
INSTEAD OF HAVING DOCTORS DETERMINE THE DEFINITION, THEY
WANT POLITICIANS TO DETERMINE
THE DEFINITION OF GENDER.
IF YOU TALK TO CEOS OFF THE RECORD THEY
SAY I AGREE WITH YOU BUT I CAN'T SAY ANYTHING BECAUSE THEY ARE
WORRIED ABOUT THE BOTTOM LINE OF
FINANCE.
IT HAS EVEN IMPACTED ME TO THIS DAY.
PEOPLE ARE
RELUCTANT TO HIRE ME BECAUSE THEY THINK I AM A BIGOT.
I
ACTUALLY AM SOMEWHAT LIBERAL IN ON SOME ISSUES.
I AM A
LIBERTARIAN, BUT I DON'T THINK A
STATE, CITY, OR FEDERAL GOVERNMENT SHOULD BE ABLE TO
TELL THE PRIVATE SECTOR WHAT THE DEFINITION OF GENDER IS.
I THINK
IT IS A WELL-ESTABLISHED DEFINITION, GENDER.
A DOCTOR
DETERMINES THE GENDER OF THE
BABY.
YOU ASKED THE DOCTOR IF THEY ARE A BOY OR A GIRL, NOT
THE BABY.
THE SAME THING SHOULD WE HAVE FIFTH-GRADERS DECIDE
WHAT GENDER THEY ARE, I THINK IT IS COMMON SENSE.
I AM A
PRAGMATIC CONSERVATIVE.
NOW I AM
CALLED AN EXTREMIST AND RADICAL.
THIS IS PART OF THEIR AGENDA.
WHEN I GOT ELECTED, THEY SAID THEY'RE GOING TO DO THREE
THINGS, EVISCERATE PAT MCCRORY, TRYING GET FREE PUBLICITY AS
POSSIBLE THROUGH PROTEST.
WHATEVER HE DOES WE WILL
PROTEST.
AND THIRD, WHATEVER HE
DOES WE WILL CALL IT EXTREMIST.
>> I LOVE THAT HE SAYS THEY ARE CALLING ME AN EXTREMIST, THOSE
FAR LEFT GUYS.
>>WHERE WAS THIS MEETING?
>> I DIDN'T KNOW WE WERE TAKING PAT DOWN?
>>WHAT I LOVE ABOUT IT IS THAT HE SAYS NOW I AM HAVING TROUBLE
GETTING JOBS BECAUSE I AM A
BIGOT.
EITHER HE IS BEING TOLD WE WON'T HIRE YOU BECAUSE YOU
ARE A BIGOT, OR HE IS HAVING A HARD TIME FINDING A JOB AND THAT
IS THE EXPLANATION HE HAS
CONCOCTED.
>> EVEN IN HIS EXPLANATION IT DOESN'T SOUND
THAT GREAT.
>>WHAT IS THE LGBT NARRATIVE BY THE WAY?
HAS THAT BEEN DEFINED?
>>I DON'T KNOW THAT IT HAS EVER BEEN WRITTEN DOWN.
>> THEY WANT LIKE EQUAL RIGHTS OR SOMETHING.
WEIRDOS.
>> I THINK EQUALITY IS THE ESSENCE OF IT.
OF COURSE THAT MAKES THEM EXTREMIST.
>> SO CONSERVATIVES HAVE ENGENDERED PUSHBACK WHERE THEY
DO ADVOCATE FOR THESE LGBT LEGISLATION BECAUSE THE BUSINESS
COMMUNITY IS NOW AGAINST THEM IN
LARGE PART.
SO HE SAYS THE INCENTIVE ECONOMICALLY IS
AGAINST THESE ISSUES.
>> THAT IS THE TWO MAIN THINGS I WANT TO TALK ABOUT HERE.
IF YOU
ARE A REAL LIBERTARIAN, AS YOU SAID IN THE INTERVIEW, WHAT IS
THE NUMBER ONE GO TO THING?
FREE MARKET.
THE FREE MARKET HAS
SPOKEN AGAINST YOU.
NOW YOU MUST BE REMOVED FROM THE ISLAND.
YOU
CAN'T COMPLAIN ABOUT THE FREE MARKET IF YOU ARE A CHAMPION OF
THE FREE MARKET.
YOU SAY EITHER JOHN IS RIGHT, OR THE FREE
MARKET HAS DECIDED THEY DON'T WANT TO HIRE GUYS LIKE YOU
BECAUSE THEY THINK YOU ARE A BIGOT.
WELL THAT IS THE FREE
MARKET'S DECISION, YOU SHOULD
CELEBRATE IT.
THE OTHER PART OF THIS I FIND AMUSING IS HERE IS A
FORMER POLITICIAN WHO THINKS I CAN'T GET A JOB, THAT WAS THE
WHOLE POINT OF BEING A
POLITICIAN.
WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?
SORRY MR.
CORRUPT
POLITICIAN.
>>IT JUST PROVES THAT THE MARKET IS NOT KING FOR CONSERVATIVES IN
CERTAIN INSTANCES.
WHEN THEY HAVE IDEOLOGICAL COMMITMENTS
THAT CONTRAVENE THE MARKET THEN THEY ARE OKAY TO BUCK THE MARKET
AND DON'T PLACE A PREMIUM ON IT.
THAT JUST SHOWS THEIR OSTENSIBLE COMMITMENT TO MARKET PRINCIPLES
WERE LAISSEZ-FAIRE IS ONLY CONTINGENT ON CIRCUMSTANCE.
I LOVE THE IRONY.
>> HE CLAIMED THERE ARE THESE EXTREMIST LEFTISTS HOUNDING HIM
AND CALLING HIM BIGOT.
WE HAVE VIDEO PROOF.
HE STUMBLED RIGHT INTO IT.
>> SHAME ON YOU.
SHAME ON YOU.
YOU ANTI-GAY, BIGOT.
YOU ARE A
BIGOT.
YOU ARE A BIGOT AND AN ASSHOLE.
SHAME ON YOU.
SHAME ON
YOU.
HOW CAN YOU BE LIKE THAT?
>>SHAME.
SHAME.
>>WE GOT YOU NOW.
>> THE VIDEO IS SO PRECIOUS.
GOD BLESS THE GUY WHO HOUNDED HIM.
AS AN AMERICAN YOU HAVE A RIGHT
TO DO THAT.
HE DID SOUND A LITTLE LIKE AUSTIN POWERS.
SHAME
ON YOU.
AND PAT MCCRORY GOT STUCK LIKE AUSTIN POWERS.
>>REMEMBER TOM DELAY WHEN HE WAS ARRESTED AND HIS MUG SHOT HAD
THAT HUGE GRIN.
IT'S THAT SMILE YOU HAVE TO HAVE IN THE WORST CIRCUMSTANCE.
>> TWO MORE COMMENTS.
WHEN YOU HAVE TO SAY THE LAST THING I AM
IS A BIGOT, DON'T SAY IT.
APPARENTLY THAT IS THE FIRST
THING PEOPLE THINK YOU ARE.
>>LIKE TRUMP HAVING TO SAY THERE IS NO ONE LESS RACIST THAN ME.
>> NO ONE.
BELIEVE ME.
BUT THE BEST MOMENT MIGHT'VE BEEN, "YOU
DON'T ASK THE BABY."
YOU ARE RIGHT WE WOULD WAIT FOR THEM TO
GROW UP AND MAKE THEIR OWN ADULT
CHOICE ABOUT WHO THEY ARE.
