Summary

The State Legislature of North Carolina passed a law that interferes with a Charlotte discrimination bill that, in part, allowed for transgendered people to choose which bathroom and locker room to use. Donald Trump thinks North Carolina should have left well enough alone, and Ted Cruz is all for the law.

0:00.0	I think it's time we talk about the bill out in North Carolina,
0:06.5	about transgender and bathrooms and Bruce Springsteen and Pearl Jam.
0:12.4	I don't know.
0:13.9	I mean, I guess we can talk about that,
0:15.6	but I'd rather have someone on the show who can talk about that.
0:19.1	Because I feel like America is losing its freaking mind over this.
0:30.6	For those of you that are not aware that there was a bill that was just passed by the state of,
0:35.9	by the state of a North Carolina that pretty
0:40.5	much bans trans genders from being able to go to use the bathroom of the sex that they
0:48.0	identify with. It is a very complicated bill that it's just not as black and white as a lot

1:08.1	And he has this quote about America, where he says, we are very much an all or an all or nothing people. And that's what I'm seeing right now is that there is no room for talk. You're either on the right side or you are on the wrong side. And I, and it goes both ways. I think it's very, I think, like, I feel like we're ready to explode.
1:31.8	To be honest with you, I'm actually quite worried about the state of things right now.
1:35.6	Don't you think to a certain extent Donald Trump is us exploding?
1:39.4	No, because I think that is, um, well, I mean, oh, okay, Donald Trump, Black Lives Matter, uh, you know, all this escalation, um, what do you call, Occupy now, Occupy Portland, Occupy Movement, the whole deal.
1:55.7	Yeah. The left going nuts. The right kind of is going nuts around Donald Trump.
2:06.5	And you can't even call Donald Trump right. But, you know, like all of that stuff, right?
