00:00:08.000Very excited to be back with you here tonight on Wednesday.
00:00:12.000We have a lot to talk about, a lot to get into tonight.
00:00:16.000Our featured story is a big white pill.
00:00:19.000We'll be talking more about the vaccine mandate, specifically following up on the Texas ban on vaccine mandates, which we covered yesterday.
00:00:29.000Tonight, our featured story is about in Texas a federal judge has blocked. United Airlines from enforcing a COVID vax mandate on their employees.
00:00:41.000So, about 600 United employees are about to be put on unpaid leave because they won't get the vaccine.
00:00:50.000And the company, in spite of the Texas ban on vaccine mandates, is going forward with it anyway, nationwide.
00:00:57.000And they're going to remove anybody that doesn't get the COVID vax.
00:01:01.000So, a number of people that applied for exemptions at United Airlines sued the airline so that they couldn't go forward with it.
00:01:09.000And now, a federal judge is putting an injunction on the vaccine mandate, allowing all of the people that requested an exemption to stay on while remaining not vaccinated.
00:01:21.000And in the meantime, the federal judge in Texas will hear the case and ultimately make a decision on whether or not to uphold the vaccine mandate.
00:02:00.000Hopefully, a good outcome with that case.
00:02:03.000We'll also be talking tonight about a walkout at Netflix.
00:02:07.000And I don't know if you guys have been following this, but apparently, Dave Chappelle, who is a black comedian, if you don't know, He just did a comedy special for Netflix.
00:02:21.000And I haven't watched it, I'm going to be honest with you, because I don't really think Dave Chappelle is all that funny.
00:02:26.000But he did a brand new special for Netflix where apparently he makes jokes about transgender people.
00:02:33.000And there's a big controversy about it.
00:02:35.000And some people are defending Dave Chappelle, and other people say he went too far.
00:04:24.000We had Vince James, I think he started around.
00:04:27.0005 30 Central last night, and then I did my show.
00:04:31.000And then I think Jaden streamed right after my show until like 2 or 3 a.m.
00:04:37.000And I thought yesterday went very well.
00:04:39.000And let me know what you think in the super chats or in the live chat.
00:04:43.000I now have a super chat button on both AmericaFirst.live and Cozy.tv.
00:04:49.000If you're on my channel on Cozy TV, if you go to the About section, there's a button to send a super chat because there was some confusion about that yesterday.
00:04:57.000Some people said, Oh, we don't have a button, we don't have the link.
00:05:04.000I thought it went very well yesterday, and we got a lot of positive feedback, which was good because this whole platform's been a long time coming, been working on it for months.
00:05:14.000And I was interested to see if people would like the name, the logo, and the UI and all that.
00:05:22.000But we got like universally positive feedback, even from people that don't really like me.
00:05:27.000People are saying it was a huge success.
00:05:29.000And, um, I think it was a big morale boost to see people like Vince and Jaden back on the same platform.
00:06:49.000In case you missed it, we have a Telegram channel for the platform and we have an email where people can send in if they're a streamer and they want to stream on the platform.
00:06:59.000Although, when I say streamer, I mean you have to have an audience.
00:07:02.000And also for feedback, we've got some great feedback from friends.
00:07:07.000Our two new streamers, other people, and we had a big meeting today to discuss a timeline for when we're putting in all the features.
00:07:15.000And just so everybody understands, this is a beta test period.
00:07:21.000You know, we've got the live chat, the video player, push notifications, but we are going to add, of course, view count, replays, which we already have replays, but we're going to mess around with them a little bit.
00:07:33.000We're going to add clips, emotes, super chats, subscriptions, sub gifting.
00:07:41.000We're going to add everything that you get on DLive, Trovo, any other platform.
00:07:47.000We're working on rolling that out for our platform.
00:07:50.000My goal is to get it all finished by the end of the year.
00:07:53.000I don't know if we're going to get there because it's a lot and we have a small dev team, but I think we're going to get pretty close by the end of the year.
00:09:32.000So if you want to get an America First hat, make sure you go now, merch.nicholasjfuentes.com, because they're not going to last much longer.
00:09:40.000I think it'll be a month before we're going to have to order another batch.
00:10:37.000You know, I saw him on SNL and I think I saw one of his specials on Netflix, but honestly, I was never that impressed.
00:10:44.000I really don't like these people where they go out and they say something like basically normal about LGBT or feminism or race or Donald Trump, and then they get lauded as like, wow, like they just broke new ground.
00:11:03.000Dave Chappelle changed the conversation again.
00:11:38.000And even from our side, even from conservatives, they say, Dave Chappelle, free speech icon, anti cancel culture, political correctness.0.59
00:11:48.000And it's like Dave Chappelle's a black liberal, right?0.65
00:11:51.000I mean, and the same goes for all these people.0.98
00:11:53.000So I've never been a huge fan, and I don't think he's a visionary.
00:11:58.000I don't think he's changing the conversation.
00:12:01.000But there was a big controversy with his latest special where apparently he made jokes about transgender people.
00:12:07.000And now there's a big walkout planned at Netflix headquarters in protest because Netflix won't take his special down.
00:12:16.000And so this is the story it says Trans employees and allies at Netflix are planning a walkout on Wednesday, October 20th in protest.
00:12:25.000Of co CEO Ted Serendos' comments regarding Dave Chappelle's new special, The Closer.
00:12:32.000As reported by The Verge, a leader of the streamer's trans employee resource group wrote the following in a message to its members Trans lives matter, trans rights matter.
00:12:44.000And as an organization, Netflix has continually failed to show deep care in our mission to entertain the world by repeatedly releasing content that harms the trans community and continually failing to create content that represents and uplifts.
00:13:14.000It says Netflix fails to show care in our mission to entertain the world by releasing content that harms trans community and continually failing to create content that represents and uplifts trans content.
00:14:05.000But you hear these same lines just over and over and over again.
00:14:10.000And you see them on TikTok and you see them on Instagram and you hear them on TV and you read them in the news and it's all over social media and it's always the same stuff.
00:14:38.000I mean, obviously, the rest of it is bothersome for reasons we understand, but it's just the, and I know it's overused to say Orwellian, but it's just the dogmatic, just beaten over the head with the sort of very specific vernacular they use, the very specific language they're always using when they talk about harm.
00:15:19.000All these, like, SJW, specifically women, I think women are like this in general, but specifically these types, they're all illiterate.0.80
00:15:28.000Like, if you go and you see anything they post on, like, Instagram or Twitter or whatever, whenever you see these viral posts, it's always like grammatical mistakes, misspellings.0.97
00:15:39.000When you see these TikToks about, like, here's sweetie, here's the latest, like, You know, LGBT acronym.
00:15:47.000And they use these big $5 words that they're posting on Tumblr, like a sociology professor says, but functionally they are illiterate at the same time.
00:16:00.000But yeah, Netflix isn't making content to uplift trans content, and they're not entertaining the world by releasing content that doesn't harm the trans people.
00:16:17.000I think it's maybe the article that doesn't make sense.
00:16:20.000It says Netflix's most Twitter account dedicated to LGBTQ content posted on Wednesday.
00:16:27.000Quote, We can't always control what goes on screen.
00:16:31.000What we can control is what we create here and the point of view we bring to internal conversations.
00:16:38.000On Monday, Variety exclusively reported that Sarendos had defended Chappelle's special, which has been accused of containing transphobic and homophobic content in a memo to staff.
00:16:50.000Sarendos, and these are the comments that are.
00:16:54.000He said, Chappelle is one of the most popular stand up comedians today, and we have a long standing deal with him.
00:17:01.000His last special, Sticks and Stones, also controversial, is our most watched, stickiest, and most award winning stand up special to date.
00:17:11.000As with our other talent, we work hard to support their creative freedom, even though this means there will always be content on Netflix that some people believe is harmful.
00:17:21.000In a statement to Variety, Netflix said the company encourages.
00:17:25.000Encourages employees to disagree openly with the sentiment.
00:17:30.000A Netflix spokesperson said Dave Chappelle's specials are consistently the most watched comedy specials and have earned many awards, including both an Emmy and a Grammy for Sticks and Stones.
00:17:39.000We support artistic expression for our creators.
00:17:42.000We encourage our employees to disagree openly.
00:17:45.000Shortly after Seren Dos' memo, three employees were suspended for crashing an executive meeting, including Tara Field, who identifies as trans and queer.
00:17:55.000And they criticized Chappelle's special on Twitter.
00:17:57.000According to Netflix, Field was not suspended due to her tweets, but for attending the meeting uninvited.
00:18:03.000On Tuesday, it was announced that the employees had been reinstated after finding that they did not join the meeting with any ill intent.
00:18:11.000So, the only thing I wanted to say about this, because I mean, I read this and I mean, what is there to say really?0.73
00:18:19.000It's more of the trans nonsense, it's the woke corporations and so on.0.69
00:18:25.000But this is what I wanted to point out, because I see a trend here, and this has been going on for a little while.
00:18:31.000That black basketball player comes out against anti vax, or comes out, I should say, in favor of anti vax, and everybody in the conservative movement is over the moon.
00:18:42.000Cardi B comes out against the vax, and people are saying she should lead Blegzit for real this time.
00:18:50.000And then there's Dave Chappelle, who comes out and makes a couple of trans jokes, and then I heard blames everything on white people, and everybody says he's a free speech warrior.
00:19:00.000And good on Netflix for not caving to the PC mob.0.61
00:19:04.000Here's what I want to point out about this.0.74
00:19:07.000The reason why Dave Chappelle did not get canceled because of this is not because he's winning Grammys, it's not because he's winning Emmys, it's not because he makes a lot of money, it's not because he made the Bastion most popular special on Netflix.
00:19:24.000Dave Chappelle didn't get canceled because he is black.
00:19:42.000And it's really not more complicated than that.
00:19:45.000Cardi B can go out and say that the vaccine caused her cousin's testicles to swell up and not get canceled or banned from Twitter because she's black.
00:19:58.000And the basketball players can protest the vaccine without, well, I guess they're getting taken off the court, but without getting dismissed, without huge backlash because they're black.
00:20:12.000So, when the Netflix CEO and when their board of directors and when the higher ups at the company review this conflict, where you've got a vocal trans community or section of the workforce complaining about the special, and then you've got Dave Chappelle, who's a cultural icon but also black, they're not weighing the merits of what's being said.
00:20:36.000They're not weighing the financial repercussions.
00:20:40.000What they're really weighing is according to identity.
00:20:45.000Whose opinions and whose rights matter more?0.93
00:20:48.000And in this instance, black beat trans.1.00
00:20:54.000The Netflix top brass, the leadership said, well, we can't offend the black people.
00:20:59.000We can afford, reasonably in this case, to upset the trans and the gay people.
00:21:05.000It's that simple, and everybody knows it.0.98
00:21:08.000Now, the reason that I'm pointing that out is not just to say, well, the only reason Dave Chappelle, it's just because he's black, because he's a whatever.0.73
00:21:20.000Because whenever conservatives look at this situation and they participate in this, which what this amounts to is a double standard, black people can say things that white people cannot.
00:21:38.000Black people can get away with a lot in the current PC climate.
00:21:43.000They can get away with it because the same kind of social, financial, professional repercussions.0.72
00:21:50.000They're not applied equally to black people, unless, and this is an important exception, unless it concerns Jews.0.95
00:21:57.000If it concerns Jews, then the playing field is very equalized.0.59
00:22:01.000And maybe that tells you something else.0.71
00:22:03.000But that exception notwithstanding, you see all day long, and everybody knows this, and you don't have to spend a lot of time on social media or pay attention to the news for very long, but everybody knows there is a different standard applied to black people when it comes to cancel culture.
00:22:24.000And if a white person says something that's even perceived as being out of line, that's all it takes for them to have their whole career shut down or suspended temporarily and lose sponsorships and contracts and management and everything.0.50
00:22:42.000Now, when conservatives go out there and participate in this, participate and uphold the double standard by saying, Bravo, Cardi B. Who we wouldn't agree with on anything else, and we would find her lifestyle and her music basically repulsive, but they go out and say, They say, 'Bravo for Cardi B for saying something that white people say all day long.' And they say, 'Good on her.' And they stand behind her steadfastly because it's easy.
00:23:09.000And they do the same thing for the basketball players, and then the latest thing with Dave Chappelle.
00:23:15.000And they don't necessarily do that so much for the white people.0.59
00:23:19.000What they're doing in that instance is effectively upholding a double standard where It seems like, according to social status, by virtue of being black, your opinion matters more.
00:23:31.000By virtue of you being a black American, you're somewhere up here.
00:23:36.000You're at like the top of a caste system where you get more leeway, benefit of the doubt, you get to say what you want, think what you want, still within reason, but you get away with more.
00:23:51.000And that's really the main takeaway from this.0.64
00:23:53.000I see this Dave Chappelle thing, it's whatever.
00:23:57.000There's a lot of edgy comedians out there, and they say things that 20 years ago wouldn't have even been jokes.
00:24:03.000They say things about trans or gay people or women or The Illuminati, whatever, in the case of like Bill Burr as an example, comedians will go out these days and say something that five years ago wouldn't have been a joke.
00:24:17.000And certainly today would be considered mainstream.
00:24:20.000And to the extent that they say certain things, it is made very clear they are joking.
00:24:25.000And it's also made clear that they are liberal and progressive.
00:24:29.000And when they make a joke, that's all it is.
00:24:32.000If they're really not venturing very far into intellectual or opinion territory, everybody understands it's transgressive for the sake of being transgressive.0.65
00:24:42.000Safely, though, they are progressive liberals, in many cases, minorities.0.64
00:24:48.000And when I see conservatives going out there and celebrating, oh, they said something about trans or women.0.93
00:24:54.000You know, a lot of this stuff, we've seen it a million times before.
00:25:55.000That's what we're supposed to do as white Americans?
00:25:58.000Because concurrently, while this is going on, you know, every white person for even existing is right now being canceled.
00:26:07.000You know, we saw a few weeks ago, I think it was at Arizona State University, a couple of white male students were chased out of a library because literally, They were white people existing in diverse space, and that was making non white people uncomfortable.0.54
00:26:28.000And I, as a conservative, am supposed to see that and everything represented in there and everything else that goes on anti white ridicule, anti white propaganda, policies being put in place in law.0.82
00:26:40.000And I'm supposed to turn and look at a black savior like Dave Chappelle and say, Thank you, liberal progressive black guy, for making a transgressive joke.0.93
00:26:57.000I'm sick of it and I'm tired of doing that.
00:27:02.000We've got to raise the bar up a little bit.
00:27:05.000And I think conservatives have got to, I've been saying this for a long time, they got to deprogram themselves with this race stuff because, on some level, what this is is white racial guilt.
00:27:16.000I think that's what animates most race relations, at least from the white perspective.
00:27:21.000That's what animates most people's ideas and feelings and actions, white people at least, when it comes to race relations.
00:27:30.000Because in this case, we look at a Cardi B, and we'll use language like, she left the Democratic plantation.
00:27:40.000You know, when conservatives applaud black people for saying things that we know to be obvious and we've been talking about for years, when they step up from a life of debauchery and greed and all of that to make some kind of controversial political statement, we say, Good job!0.97
00:28:06.000It's because, on some level, and this is, again, this is according to white guilt, white people kind of like look down on blacks and have a lower expectation of them.
00:28:17.000And so, when a black person has a conservative opinion, unlike the rest of the black people, conservatives go, Look at you go.
00:28:28.000And on some level, that's because they have internalized everything that the left says about race, which is that these people have been kept down, they're disadvantaged, they're.
00:28:38.000All this stuff is going on, and we were the abusers and the oppressors.
00:28:42.000And so, when we see one of them join us, somebody with white racial guilt would feel good about that.
00:28:50.000Why will they feel good about that?0.64
00:28:51.000Because it, in some sense, is supposed to rectify this historical grievance that blacks have against the white man.0.63
00:28:59.000It's supposed to say, wow, you know what?
00:29:24.000You know, these BLM types are always talking about doing the work of like deconstructing race and thinking about systemic racism and becoming a class traitor, a race traitor to your own people, a traitor against the white supremacist system.0.78
00:29:41.000And it's almost like we're saying the parallel you've got to do the work.0.97
00:29:44.000And you've got to sit down and think, and you've got to read Jared Taylor instead of reading who's that black author that everybody talks about, the BLM one.0.67
00:29:53.000Instead of reading some book about toxic whiteness and so on, you've got to read your Jared Taylor, and you've got to read your Sam Francis and your Arthur Jensen, and you've got to go out there and do the work, do the work, and start to deconstruct your white racial guilt in your head and affirm.0.90
00:30:16.000Your white identity and realizing we don't need black celebrities.0.89
00:30:20.000We don't need all, and don't get me wrong, I'm not like against black people or anything, but I'm saying I'm not going to fall to my knees and worship a black celebrity because black people are supposed to have more of a right to have a political opinion than I am.0.99
00:30:36.000How many people are out there been fighting the good fight for the right wing, for Christianity, for conservatism that don't get any recognition and in some cases even get canceled?
00:30:47.000Like Ajira Taylor, like me, or like others for saying the same things because we're white.0.61
00:30:53.000But when a black celebrity says it, we're going to bend over backwards to accommodate and celebrate and win them over.0.51
00:31:01.000No, Dave Chappelle is not on our side.0.96
00:31:04.000Dave Chappelle is like maybe a more civil progressive, but don't forget, he's on the side of our enemies.
00:31:15.000People that hate us and celebrate when an unvaxxed celebrity.
00:31:19.000Person dies of COVID, that celebrate that white people are becoming a minority in their own country, that celebrate when Trump supporters are dying at the Capitol.
00:31:29.000Those people love Dave Chappelle and watch his specials, and he's an icon to them, and he's friends with all of them.
00:31:36.000And we're supposed to say that guy's our hero because he made a joke about trans when he obviously affirms the status quo on LGBT?
00:31:46.000And if you think otherwise, that is because you are affirming and participating in this social caste system which says that blacks have more of a right to an opinion than white people do.0.84
00:31:59.000Blacks can say what they want and whites cannot.0.59
00:32:02.000Blacks can ridicule other minorities because they are black and because they are a victim and we're an oppressor, so we cannot.0.88
00:32:23.000This is very telling, these racial dynamics.
00:32:27.000Because do you remember it was about a year ago when Nick Cannon?
00:32:31.000Said something about Louis Farrakhan, or I forget the details exactly, but Nick Cannon, who you remember, he was on MTV and Nickelodeon, and what else did he do?
00:32:43.000I think he was a musician at one point.
00:32:46.000But Nick Cannon retweeted something, he reposted something on social media.
00:32:51.000I think it was Louis Farrakhan where he said that Jews were cockroaches or something like that.
00:32:56.000And then do you remember that he literally had to publish a book report?
00:33:57.000I don't know how it's going to play out.
00:33:59.000And here's why you look at the federal government and how it's operated specifically under Joe Biden and You know, I guess the federal government has kind of always operated like this on some level, which we talked about yesterday when we talked about the IRS looking at people's bank accounts and their checking account balances.
00:34:24.000Maybe the federal government has always operated like this effectively, but people didn't know about it.
00:34:30.000And certainly the federal government would deny it if people asked about it, and they would try to cover it up and hide it where they were doing it.
00:34:39.000And what I'm talking about is the way that this administration is governed, they just don't care about the law.
00:34:48.000And like I said, people might hear that and roll their eyes and say that's literally every administration since FDR and probably going back to Abraham Lincoln and maybe even before that.
00:34:59.000Maybe the president has never really obeyed the law and the administration hasn't.
00:35:05.000What I mean is, in this case, this is like their public policy.
00:35:11.000As an example, this summer, the eviction moratorium was set to expire, and the Supreme Court said in June that the CDC did not have the authority to extend the eviction moratorium.
00:35:26.000Because weirdly enough, a year ago, it was the CDC, the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, which implemented the eviction moratorium.
00:35:34.000You wouldn't think that a public health agency would have the power to suspend evictions from landlords, but they did that.
00:35:42.000Supreme Court decided in June that the CDC can't do that again.
00:35:48.000They obviously don't have the power to do that.
00:35:50.000And there was a big outcry, I think it was in July or August, when the eviction moratorium was set to expire, that the Biden administration and the Democratic House of Representatives would not extend it any further because they didn't have the authority to.
00:36:04.000And at least in Congress, they didn't have the votes to do that.
00:36:09.000So Democrats were outraged and they said, How could we elect Democrats?
00:36:12.000How could we put Joe Biden in the White House, how can we give Nancy Pelosi the speakership and we're going to let the eviction moratorium expire when all these renters are going to be kicked out?
00:36:23.000And so the Biden administration came out like the next week after they had already said that they couldn't do it.
00:36:31.000They came out the next week at a press conference and said, We don't care that it's illegal.
00:36:36.000We don't care that the Supreme Court told us in June that it's unconstitutional for us to extend it.
00:36:41.000We are just simply going to extend it.
00:37:11.000Yes, the Supreme Court will shut it down, but they won't be able to shut it down in time because we can work.
00:37:19.000Faster and more decisively than the courts.
00:37:23.000We in the bureaucracy, and this is a very important note, we in the bureaucracy can work faster and more decisively and in a more calculating way and in a more organized fashion than the courts.
00:37:35.000So, yeah, the courts, they've already decided it and they'll shut us down again, but not before the eviction extension, or rather, eviction moratorium extension itself expires.
00:37:47.000They're not going to fix it in 90 days, so who really cares?
00:38:04.000And so now the Biden administration is plowing through.
00:38:06.000And then, in this case, with the vaccine mandate, there's even a little bit of confusion about this.
00:38:11.000We know that in September, I think it was September 13th or somewhere around there, they did a press conference.
00:38:17.000This is the famous, basically, the federal vaccine mandate announcement.
00:38:23.000They came out and said, If you're a business with more than 100 employees, you have to have everybody vaccinated or else you'll get fined.
00:38:33.000And every federal contractor and every federal worker, they will also have to be vaccinated.
00:38:40.000And the way that they were supposed to go about doing that was through OSHA, which is what is it, occupational safety and hazards, whatever.
00:38:50.000That was supposed to be filed in the bureaucracy.
00:38:53.000It was supposed to be a new regulation.
00:38:55.000They were calling coronavirus exposure like an occupational hazard.
00:39:00.000And under that legal pretext, that's how they were going to go and enforce this and find companies that didn't do it.
00:39:07.000But the weird thing is, they haven't even filed that rule change yet.
00:39:21.000And so businesses are not able to challenge it.
00:39:24.000You can't get an injunction on that order through the courts because it hasn't even been put on the books.
00:39:30.000So people are scratching their heads and wondering well, why do you do a press conference announcing you're going to start fining businesses if you don't even put it on the books?
00:39:45.000They're waiting to file it so that businesses can't challenge it, can't put it in the courts, and maybe it gets shut down.
00:39:52.000But in the meantime, there will be adoption because businesses, out of fear of an impending fine or order, and under pressure from banks and other companies and social pressure, they're implementing it in the meantime as though it were filed.
00:40:06.000So it has this effect where it's scaring people into complying, scaring people into going.
00:40:13.000Companies, in particular business owners, it's scaring them into enforcing a vaccine mandate.
00:40:19.000But if they file it in the books, then they challenge it so they won't do that.
00:40:23.000So people are afraid, they enforce the vaccine mandate, but businesses that are not afraid and are paying attention can't challenge it in the courts either.
00:40:32.000And then they threatened later on, I think this was either in September or early October, they came out and said, We're going to make the fine $700,000.
00:40:43.000That was supposed to be in a law, which I don't believe is even passed yet.
00:40:48.000That provision is also not on the books either, but companies are acting as though they are.
00:40:52.000Now you've got states like Florida and Texas banning vaccine mandates, although there is technically no federal vaccine mandate, and not even in the technical, unofficial way that they were trying to do it.
00:41:28.000And so, they're telling all their employees they have to get vaccinated or else they get put on unpaid leave.
00:41:34.000And so, a lot of United Airlines employees have tried to file exemptions, although United Airlines is not really giving those out.
00:41:43.000There are about 600 workers that are set to be put on unpaid leave because they refuse the vaccine.
00:41:49.000And in recent weeks, some of those workers have sued the company.
00:41:53.000And now, a federal judge in Texas has put an injunction on United Airlines enforcing the mandate so that all these workers that should be put on unpaid leave now are not going to be.
00:42:06.000So, this is the article which I'll pull up here.
00:42:09.000It says, A federal judge in Texas has temporarily blocked United Airlines from putting unvaccinated workers who requested exemptions from the company's COVID shot mandate on leave.
00:42:21.000U.S. District Judge Mark Pittman wrote in his order, The court is not currently ruling on the merits of the parties' arguments on these points.
00:42:30.000Rather, the court seeks simply to avoid the risk of irreparable harm to the parties and to maintain the status quo while the court holds an evidentiary hearing.
00:42:41.000So, in other words, this is not a ruling.
00:42:43.000They're not saying that the VAX mandate from United Airlines is unconstitutional or not, or illegal or not.
00:42:50.000They're not establishing precedent here.
00:43:09.000They're not shutting it down, they're just blocking it temporarily while they make a decision.
00:43:15.000It says United originally planned to put any workers who did not comply with the company's shot order on leave.
00:43:21.000Even those who requested and were granted religious exemptions from the jab were going to be forced into medical or indefinite unpaid leave.
00:43:30.000Under Pittman's new order, however, the company is not permitted to take any unvaccinated workers off the airline's payroll.
00:43:36.000And the order expires on October 26th, which is in two weeks.
00:43:41.000United Airlines was one of the first airlines to force the COVID shot on its employees starting in August.
00:43:47.000Nearly 600 of the company's workers are at risk to be fired since they have yet to get the jab, in addition to the 2,000 employees who have filed requests for exemptions.
00:43:59.000United CEO Scott Kirby and President Bret Hart wrote in a memo We know some of you will disagree with this decision to require the vaccine for United employees.
00:44:10.000But we have no greater responsibility to you and your colleagues than to ensure your safety when you're at work.
00:44:16.000And the facts are crystal clear everyone is safer when everyone is vaccinated.
00:44:23.000Which I disagree with, but that's United.
00:44:25.000It says thousands of pilots, flight attendants, and office staff applied for medical and religious exemptions, but their requests were met with hostility.
00:44:34.000A handful of employees sued United for discriminating against people with legitimate objections to the shot and forcing them to abandon their convictions or source of income.
00:44:44.000United agreed to push back the deadline for getting the shot from September 27th to October 15th amid the ongoing litigation.
00:44:52.000But that still leaves workers in limbo.
00:44:56.000So, like I said, this is not final, obviously, and this is still just a district court.
00:45:04.000But the good news is, this is starting to be challenged in the courts.
00:45:16.000Maybe primarily, why this is a good thing is everybody should be prepared to get fired for refusing the vaccine.
00:45:23.000I understand that not everybody has a plan B in the event that they lose their job unexpectedly for something like this.
00:45:30.000So, at the minimum, if you're in a company or a state where there's an injunction like this or there's a ban on vax mandates, at the minimum, this might buy you some time to get another job or to look at alternative options.
00:45:46.000I don't know, you know, tap into your savings, whatever.
00:45:51.000But this is good, obviously, for the people that have requested exemptions and for the people that did not request exemptions but won't get the vax to get everything together if they're going to get fired in a couple weeks.
00:46:03.000The other reason this is good is because I think that this could go to the Supreme Court.
00:46:10.000And there are multiple avenues for how this might get to the Supreme Court.
00:46:15.000Maybe the federal government finally files.
00:46:18.000Their federal vax mandate, and that's challenged, and that goes to the Supreme Court.
00:46:24.000Or the state bans on vax mandates, maybe that'll go to the court.
00:46:30.000And then maybe a case like this will go to the court.
00:46:33.000I will say, though, I'm not extremely optimistic because we have seen, for example, universities, they've been challenged on their vaccine mandates.
00:46:43.000And in those cases, the students have lost.
00:46:45.000In particular, there was a college in Indiana where a group of students challenged the vaccine mandate.
00:46:52.000And the district judge upheld the Indiana University's decision to put in place a vaccine mandate.
00:46:58.000And I believe this was a private school.
00:48:27.000And there may be other possible avenues too.
00:48:29.000If in the next election, you know, and I don't like to put too much faith in the elections and that's still a year away, but who knows?0.91
00:48:36.000Maybe, if that turns out to be a very unpopular issue, at least in Republican states, you might have a pressure, like in the case of Greg Abbott, for sitting governors or state legislatures to take action against the Vax mandates.
00:48:51.000Just like I said last year during Stop the Steal, this is one of these issues which is of grave consequence and which we can still move the needle.
00:49:00.000This is an issue where we can change the outcome.
00:49:03.000And when I say we, I mean like me and I mean like the people watching this show.
00:49:08.000Small group of activists can still move the needle on this, and it's worthwhile to do.
00:49:14.000And I go into that almost every night, so I'm not going to re litigate that here on this show because we've done that like every week.
00:49:21.000But you understand the seriousness of this.
00:49:23.000We're talking about it, as I've said before biometric security compliance system everywhere, controlled by the government, controlled by Kamala Harris, Joe Biden, the deep state, people that hate us.
00:49:39.000Possible for that not to come to fruition.
00:49:42.000And we have a chance to make that happen because when you look at it in the courts, when you look at the Southwest pilot strike, when you look at there are some unions fighting this, the Chicago Police Union is fighting this, other airlines are fighting this, and there's lots of workers protesting too that are not unionized.
00:50:02.000When you look at all the resistance happening in the economy, and then you look at the court orders being done and some governors putting in place bans on the fax mandates, you can see that it's still far from over here.
00:50:14.000So that's why, because I think that's a tricky thing.
00:50:16.000A lot of people might think to themselves, Am I going to get fired for some kind of meaningless stand that is going nowhere against the vaccine?
00:50:24.000You can't look at it like that because if everybody that opposes the vaccine is willing to get fired and go to a protest and sue their university or business or the government or whatever, if we're willing to fight in every way that we can, everybody that's not vaccinated, everybody that is a conscientious objector, Then we can turn the tide on this and force them to back off.
00:50:50.000Because it's a pretty big ask to tell people, you know, get fired from your job, get expelled from school, have your life turned upside down.
00:50:57.000And a big variable in whether or not people are willing to do that is whether or not they realistically believe that it's going to make a difference.
00:51:04.000But I'm telling you that it is going to make a difference.
00:51:10.000And it seems like the tide is turning a little bit.
00:51:12.000For a long time, every day it was this slow and dreadful encroachment moving towards a federal vax mandate.
00:51:20.000And it feels like just in the past couple of weeks, You're starting to see real organized resistance from unions, public sector, private sector, from workers.
00:52:18.000I'm pretty sure it was unconstitutional for the CDC to shut down every private business in America, but that's gone on for two years now almost.
00:52:27.000So, I don't know if I place a lot of faith in the courts that they're going to shut down a vaccine mandate.
00:52:50.000And now we get to hear from you, the audience, about what is your take on Dave Chappelle and Texas and these crazy, these wacky vaccines and all that.
00:55:55.000Catholic goober says liberals be all about if you're idolizing them, you're missing the point when talking about Joker or Patrick Bateman, but then say shit like heaven sounds boring and that Satan is the good guy.
00:58:05.000Chosen Lie says, What, if any, influences have you taken from Alex Jones in the way you relay your opinions on current events on your show and in general?
00:58:14.000Love America First and love knowing it's growing each year.
00:58:19.000You know, I would say that probably my biggest influences would be Donald Trump and Sam Hyde, and maybe to some extent like Bill O'Reilly.
00:58:29.000Those are the people that I watched and I think started to emulate when I started doing this years ago.
00:58:37.000I'm trying to think if there's anybody else notable, but those really are the big ones.
00:58:43.000Alex Jones, I mean, I just don't have that same energy.
00:58:46.000I can't, you know, the stuff that he does, that's really only he can do it.
00:58:51.000Because other people try to do the, I don't even know what you would call that.
00:58:57.000But he rides a very fine line where it's entertaining, it's over the top, you can tell it's a joke, but it also is informative.
00:59:05.000It's a very fine line where, You know, it's still sort of like believable in the sense that some people just don't believe it.
00:59:17.000I feel like Alex Jones is a real performer.
00:59:21.000And don't get me wrong, that's not to take away from what Alex Jones says on the show, because this show is very informative.
00:59:26.000And if you watch the show, he's been right about everything for decades.
00:59:31.000But there is a performative element to it, there's an entertainment element to it.
00:59:36.000And there's something subtle about the way in which he plays it up.
00:59:41.000You know, when he does things that are sensational and when he does these kinds of stunts, there's something very subtle about it where there's a suspension of disbelief where you watch the show and you go, Is this guy for real?
01:00:07.000Now, some people think that what Alex Jones does is just gratuitous, crazy, you know?
01:00:15.000And people just start talking about goblins and vampires, and like almost every parody or imitation of Alex Jones is a failure because they lack this kind of subtlety.
01:00:26.000I don't exactly know what it is, but he strikes this balance.
01:00:31.000He plays this sort of character or plays an exaggerated version of himself.
