Full Episode
What in the world is going on in Virginia? The MAGA Republican Governor Glenn Youngkin, as I call him, MAGA in a vest, has just vetoed two bills that would have guaranteed Virginians access to contraception, marking the second time that he's blocked efforts to protect birth control rights through state law. Not one, but two right there.
House Bill 1716 and Senate Bill 1105, also known as the Virginia Right to Contraception Act, was passed by the Democratic-controlled General Assembly earlier this year. The bills were designed to preserve access to contraceptives such as birth control pills, IUDs, and emergency contraception, particularly in the wake of the U.S. Supreme Court ruling overturning Roe v. Wade.
And after it passed in the House and the Senate, the MAGA Republican Governor Glenn Youngkin dismissed the legislation and said, why do we need it? The Supreme Court ruled on this in 1965, in the Griswold case in 1972, and Eisenstadt v. Baird. And we trust the Supreme Court. It's not like they just overturned Roe v. Wade in the Dobbs decision. So we've got that coming out.
And then it resurfaced that the MAGA Republican Governor candidate in Virginia for the upcoming elections in November, Winsome Earl Sears, in her capacity as lieutenant governor, she wrote a formal objection to a bill that was eventually signed into law that was basically saying that she was morally against
interracial marriages and same sex marriages, the bill would have and it did was signed into law protecting interracial couples and same sex marriage, same sex marriages. And she was against that. Oh, yeah. And then there was the Midas clip that went viral about Winsome Earl Sears. where she just doesn't get what you're going through.
And here in this clip, she talks about how she doesn't understand why workers are that upset that they're getting fired. And she's like, you know, just just get over it. Virginians, just dear Virginians, just get over it here. Let's play this one. I think it's created by the Democratic Party of Virginia and actually use our research. That's pretty cool.
New unemployment claims in Virginia are skyrocketing.
Northern Virginia unemployment claims rose 7.1% in February. Over 53,000 people unemployed. Virginia families are dealing with the economic fallout. And what does Winsome Earl Sears have to say?
So, if you've lost your dog, and how many here has ever lost a dog? Oh, you mean it's not unusual?
