| Yeah, I remember once saying to my mother, America's a great place, Mom, but there's no menstrual equity here. | |
| And my mother, God bless her, said, you're out of your mind, Dennis. | |
| I never said it, actually. | |
| Remember, there are infinite number of universes, so maybe in one of them I did say it. | |
| It was introduced by... | |
| Christina Garcia, Democrat. | |
| That's a shocker. | |
| Member of California State Assembly. | |
| Signed into law by Governor Gavin Newsom. | |
| The law is the latest step toward menstrual equity in the nation's most populous state, which has a history of implementing laws that are later echoed in other parts of the country. | |
| This year it also eliminated attacks on menstrual products. | |
| Which Garcia said in a statement cost Californians more than $20 million annually. | |
| Do you understand that? | |
| There can't be a tax on menstrual products, but there can be on other products? | |
| Free period products are already required in low-income schools. | |
| Yep, that's what we needed. | |
| There we go. | |
| So of course the menstrual equity is that it will not only be in girls rooms or ladies rooms. | |
| Starting with what words? | |
| Okay, I just saw that. | |
| Just as toilet paper and paper towels are provided in virtually every public bathroom, so should menstrual products, Garcia said in the statement. | |
| It is time we recognize and respond to the biology. | |
| Of half the population by prioritizing free access to menstrual products and eliminating all barriers to them. | |
| I don't know what she's talking about. | |
| She did say half, but it's more than half. | |
| I don't know the answer. | |
| You have to understand that much of what the left passes for laws is because there's really nothing, there are no more laws to pass. | |
| The best legislators are followers of Calvin Coolidge who thought that he did nothing was the greatest compliment you could pay a politician. | |
| They all feel they have to pass something. | |
| Scotland last year became the first country to provide free period products nationally. | |
| What a great country. | |
| That alone makes me want to visit Scotland again. | |
| I've been there a couple of times. | |
| New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern. | |
| Hey, Sean, you got Prime Minister Ardern's comment that all truth comes from the government? | |
| You got that one? | |
| Yeah, he'll get it, folks. | |
| It's one of my favorite quotes of any prime minister in my radio career. | |
| So she moved this year to provide free period products in schools across the country. | |
| You can trust us as a source of that information. | |
| You can also trust the Director General of Health and the Ministry of Health. | |
| COVID19.govt.nz. | |
| Otherwise, dismiss anything else. | |
| We will continue to be your single source of truth. | |
| We will provide information frequently. | |
| We will share everything we can, everything you are, else you see. | |
| A grain of salt. | |
| And when you see those messages, remember that unless you hear it from us, it is not the truth. | |
| One of the great lines, unless you hear it from us, it is not the truth. |
