• 0:55
  Speaker 1: menstrual cycle?
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: Y'all?
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: This is utterly ridiculous. Every time the Left does something
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: that I think, Okay, this is the craziest thing. They
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: come up with something like this, I'm like, I can
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: just feel the eye rolls of the men around the world,
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: you know, around the nation. Representative Adelita Gradjava out of Arizona.
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: She said women are tired of being told to tough
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: it out. Let me tell you something. The only people
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: that would be telling other women to tough it out
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: because of minstrel pain. Are other women who have gone
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: through it and you know it's like tough it out.
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: There's not a man. It's so funny think it.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: I don't know how many men would be gutsy.
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: And they wouldn't do. This doesn't happen. They're tired of it. It
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: doesn't happen like this. I will tell you this. It's
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: a secret. It's not a secret secret, but it's a secret.
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: How many junior high they're called middle school now girls
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: have used that excuse not to have to do pee.
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: They get out of pee right and they tell the
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: male coach, I can't it's that he doesn't want anything
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: to do with it. Or you want to go see
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: your friend in the bathroom and pass a note and
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: you go to see your go I need to go.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: I've got I'm having women issues. That male teacher is
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: going to say, oh, go go, Yeah, I want to
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: talk about it. So this is and also I would
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: like for them to have to define what a woman is.
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: They have to publicly define what a woman is before
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: they want this act to go by. But I read okay,
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: So there's another Democrat representative, Yasamine and Sarah of Arizona. Okay,
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: she gives her personal story. She says this, she said,
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: because you know, victimhood is their beauty mark. She has
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: a story.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: I don't know how much of the story I want
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: to hear, but go ahead.
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: In the summer of twenty fifteen, while starting my career
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: in New York City, I woke up on the floor
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: of my local bodega, drenched in sweat, being dragged into
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: an ambulance. Two male paramedics hovering over me and continue
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: to ask me if I was pregnant. I'd passed out
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: from period pain. Even now, every month I have days
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: where it feels like barbed wire is tightening inside of me.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: I've taken two thousand milligrams of ibuprofen in twenty four
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: hours and still been in tears from the Often I
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: end up on the bathroom floor in the fetal position,
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: crying and moaning and vomiting. Still, I put a blazer
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: on and I go to work. I mean, she's such
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: a martyr.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: But don't we already have sickly like Well, first of.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: All, I don't believe. I don't believe. I mean she
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: might have that if she has issues like that she
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: doesn't need to go get some medical help if that's
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: happening every single month. Right, But also if we're going
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: to do this, we need to also have an act.
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: Representatives come out there and say we need the Jocketch
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: Bill or act for the men. If the men are
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: suffering hold on, yes, listen, Lewis, Yes, you know you
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: guys have had that. If you if the men have hemorrhoids,
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: jockeych erectile dysfunction, anything that calls them internal pain.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: Suffering, we got turned down.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: You know. I mean, they want equality, let's give it
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: to everybody.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: Let's talk about equality. Because we've also been told by
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: the same people on the left that we have to
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: allow women in combat. Now in combat, yeah, you don't
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: get days off for your your menstrual cycle. So which
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: one is it? Does every woman need a day off
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: every time they get a mental cycle? Or should women
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: be treated the exact same as men and every woman
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: should be automatically allowed into comeback.
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: If they want equality, they got to have equality. This
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: is what's gonna happen. So they're gonna give these people
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: twelve days out of the year free days. We're gonna
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: pay you. You think they're not gonna take all twelve
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: of those days. They're gonna choose when to have their
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: period because they get prove it. You don't have them
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: to bring in some maxipad. So what they're gonna do
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: is they're gonna say, oh, I can't come you know,
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: Hey there's a bachelorette trip or whatever. Yeah, all of
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: a sudden, I need my day off so I can
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: have this extended weekend. They will take advantage of this.
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: This is the dumbest thing I have ever heard.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: Doesn't this give businesses incentives to not hire women? Yes,
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: if you have to give women period days and men
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: don't have to get period days, I get twelve extra
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: days of workout of men, and women are saying, hey,
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: you're only paying me seventy five percent as much.
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: Doesn't this give businesses and centive to say, I think
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: we've got a oh gosh, too much heavy lifting?
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah? And think about the small local businesses. Let's say
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: there's a local is the man who owns this shop,
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: and he's got five women working for him, right, So
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: he's going to have someone out all the time, but
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: he's still going to have to be paying them.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: All the time.
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: I really, it seems like they look for ways. But
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: honest to God, if you're going to have something like this,
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: it's just sure.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: I got to cut you off a run at a time.
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: I always want to know what a woman is from
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: that side.
