00:00:07.000Very excited to be back with you here tonight on Friday.
00:00:11.000We have a lot to talk about, lots to get into tonight.
00:00:15.000Our featured story is about the vaccine mandate deadline, which will come into effect on December 8th for a lot of major companies like FedEx, USPS, rather UPS, and Amazon.
00:00:31.000And there was a big article in Politico today about how that is going to cause an absolute catastrophe for the supply chains.
00:00:38.000And this is something I talked about on the show maybe a month or so ago, which is that we are entering, in the coming months, absolutely the perfect storm of trade and other economic problems, which is to say that we already have major supply chain disruptions because of the pandemic and a variety of factors.
00:01:03.000As you know, we're already facing shortages, inflation, increased prices, and these are all the result of supply chain disruptions.
00:01:13.000We're coming up on the holiday season, which begins on Black Friday, I believe, the busiest commercial season of the year.
00:01:22.000And we have the vaccine mandate deadline going into effect for many companies in November and December, which may force thousands, tens, hundreds of thousands, or maybe even millions of workers out of the workforce.
00:01:38.000That's why there's a labor shortage already going on.
00:01:42.000So everything is coming together exactly in the right way, where it is going to give workers a lot of leverage very soon.
00:01:52.000The deadline is December 8th for those major logistics and shipping companies.
00:01:58.000And the employees that don't get vaccinated and who are not able to get an exemption will have to be put on unpaid leave.
00:02:07.000That is going to put these companies in a very precarious situation.
00:02:11.000As they go through the busiest season of the year, already with major supply chain failures.
00:02:51.000I think that was on Wednesday, so I'll be covering that tonight.
00:02:54.000Big story in the local news about how Chicago police has put out a warning to residents and businesses in the Magnificent Mile in Chicago because of a major crime spree.
00:03:08.000Armed robberies, burglaries, carjackings, all that good stuff is rampant right now, and it's because of the city government's inability to.
00:03:18.000Arrest criminals and charge them and prosecute them.
00:03:23.000Like I said, I was supposed to talk about that like two days ago, but I ran out of time because I went on a huge rant and I talked for too long about the other story.
00:03:35.000It's going to be a casual Friday episode.
00:03:38.000You can see I'm wearing kind of a casual outfit, you know, no tie, no collar, no buttons, just a crew neck sweater for the night, crew neck sweatshirt, and the jacket.
00:05:06.000Now, some might say that's not nice, or it's cruel, or it's sociopathic, or it's amoral.
00:05:15.000I don't know why, but it's so funny to me in the first place because it couldn't have happened to a better person.
00:05:22.000Alec Baldwin is the worst great actor, who I like him in almost every movie he's in, but he is just probably one of the biggest liberal douchebags in Hollywood.
00:13:01.000And probably before the end of the year, we will have full functionality, full feature parity with some of the other major platforms, or at least we'll be getting closer to that.
00:13:14.000And so this project is moving forward a lot more quickly than I expected.
00:13:18.000I mean, this is technically the beta test.
00:13:21.000We were only supposed to have three streamers during this period for like a month or two.
00:13:59.000Because if you're a user on this website, you would never know.
00:14:03.000If you're a viewer, if you're just somebody that tunes into the show every night, you wouldn't know that this platform has been under attack for the past two weeks.
00:14:12.000But nobody knows because it's not working.
00:14:15.000Because everything that they try, you know, their old playbook doesn't work.
00:14:20.000We know all their tricks, we've seen it all before.
00:14:37.000I have to tell you, we're getting emails from the usual suspects trying to get under our skin.
00:14:44.000And we're getting some technical attacks.
00:14:46.000And people are trying to do this reporting type stuff.
00:14:51.000And I just have to tell you that because you guys probably don't even know because the platform has worked nearly seamlessly, flawlessly since we launched.
00:14:59.000But I just have to tell you, it's kind of a funny morale boost.
00:16:11.000In the city of Chicago, the police have put out a warning specifically about the Magnificent Mile, which is a stretch of Michigan Avenue where a lot of tourism is.
00:16:22.000All the luxury stores, they used to have the Water Tower Place Mall, a lot of vacancies there now, though.
00:16:30.000And the Disney store, and designer clothes, watches, shoes.
00:16:36.000That's where the river is, that's where Millennium Park is.
00:16:38.000Some of the nicest restaurants are there.
00:16:41.000I was reading it's 20% of the jobs in the city have something to do with the Magnificent Mile.
00:16:47.000It's the biggest neighborhood in Chicago.
00:16:49.000It's sort of like the heart, it's really the center of the city, of the downtown.
00:16:55.000And so, specifically for this neighborhood, Chicago police put out a report and they said that in that neighborhood, there is just out of control crime, specifically armed robberies, burglaries, carjackings.
00:17:08.000And if you drive down the Magnificent Mile Strip, Michigan Avenue, Anytime during the weekdays at night, you will see there's cop cars at every block.
00:17:21.000Every block for the whole stretch of the Magnificent Mile on the north side of the river, they got cop cars posted up, like stationed, like the military, on every block and all up and down Wacker Drive across the whole city because of how bad the crime has gotten.
00:17:36.000And so they put out this bulletin and they say that the reason they're putting out the warning is because all of these young people are going into stores.
00:17:46.000With guns, sometimes without guns, and they're just loading up on merchandise, sometimes by themselves, sometimes with a mob.
00:17:55.000They come in, they take a bunch of stuff, they run out, get in the car, drive to another store, and steal from there, too.
00:18:03.000And the reason why this is happening is well, there's a few reasons.
00:18:07.000In the first place, police officers are not allowed to chase criminals in the city.
00:18:12.000They changed the rules of engagement with Chicago police, I think it was either this year or last year.
00:18:18.000Where now the police cannot pursue a suspect on foot or in a car unless they get permission from, they have to call it in because, according to the new rule, according to the city government, to pursue criminals on foot or by car endangers the suspect.
00:18:37.000So, on the offhand chance that a cop is chasing some robber and he falls and hurts himself, in order to prevent that, we can't chase the criminals anymore.
00:18:48.000Number two is The state prosecutor changed the threshold after which they will call stealing a felony.
00:19:01.000Now it's $1,000 worth of merchandise that you have to steal in order for that to be classified as a felony.
00:19:08.000Even still, there are lots of cases of that where people are stealing more than $1,000 worth of merchandise, but state prosecutors just refuse to charge any criminals.
00:19:20.000They drop the charges, let the criminals out of jail, and Even the people that get arrested, even the people that get charged, they drop the charges.
00:19:28.000But fewer people are getting charged and fewer people are getting arrested.
00:19:31.000So now there's virtually no consequences for the crime.
00:19:35.000And that leads to the situation we're in now.
00:19:39.000It says, Chicago is the latest city to be hit by rampant shoplifting, and its magnificent mile, the once highly populated retail destination, is now dotted with empty storefronts as businesses are being driven away by the brazen thieves.
00:19:55.000Shoplifting cases grew more common following a December 2016 motion from state's attorney Kim Fox that mandated Chicago prosecutors only issue felony charges for theft of property over $1,000.
00:20:15.000So you can walk into, for example, Best Buy, and you could steal like two PlayStation 5s, you could steal three Nintendo Switches, you could steal.
00:20:26.000That's a lot of money worth of merchandise to call a misdemeanor.
00:20:30.000And you don't get charged with a felony.
00:20:33.000And if you don't get charged with a felony, you don't even really get chased by the cops as a consequence.
00:20:39.000They changed the threshold four years ago, five years ago.
00:20:43.000It says, her office said at the time that the move was meant to shift focus to the driving factors of the crimes instead of low level offenses.
00:20:52.000In turn, however, thieves know they can grab armfuls of merchandise without being stopped by store security.
00:20:58.000They wanted to shift their focus to the underlying, the driving factors that caused the crime, which this is what you hear all day long from the left and from BLM.0.68
00:21:15.000In other words, the policy of driving through bad neighborhoods where the crime is, where the violence is, and looking for the criminals and then arresting the criminals and charging them.
00:21:25.000They say that that's the wrong approach because that's doing damage to the community.
00:21:30.000And it's sowing distrust between law enforcement and the community.
00:21:34.000And it's taking fathers and sons and pillars out of the community.
00:21:40.000And so, what they really have to focus on is socioeconomic factors.
00:21:44.000And systemic racism, which is making the people commit the crime.
00:21:48.000So they're not focused anymore on chasing, arresting, prosecuting, charging, and sentencing criminals.
00:21:56.000Now they're focused on something else, which is like ending racism or solving income inequality.
00:22:05.000Neither the police nor the prosecutors see their mission as stopping crime in the neighborhoods.
00:22:11.000They say that these are low level offenses.0.99
00:22:13.000So you have these gangs of black kids that'll.1.00
00:22:16.000Drive in from the south or west side to the nice neighborhoods, they will run into a store, ransack it, and this is happening in the suburbs too now.1.00
00:22:24.000Jump in a car, drive to another store, do the same thing.
00:22:31.000The real job of the police and the state and the city now is to solve racism, which is the cause of why black kids go into Ulta and steal designer makeup and perfume.0.99
00:22:44.000The real reason why black kids are running through designer stores.0.87
00:22:49.000On Michigan Avenue and stealing designer clothes and shoes is because of anti black racism.0.96
00:22:55.000It is because of the legacy of slavery and redlining.
00:22:59.000It says, Chicago's most recent shoplifting spree involved a group of men who robbed three 7 Eleven convenience stores downtown in a span of 30 minutes on Monday morning.
00:23:15.000So they went to one 7 Eleven, robbed it, got in their car, drove to another one, robbed it, got in their car, drove to another one, robbed it, got in their car.
00:23:37.000It's not just isolated cases of crime, although there's plenty of that too.0.92
00:23:42.000But you're seeing now more of these sprees where a gang of black people will go into this, it is happening all over the West Side right now.0.86
00:23:51.000They'll go to a neighborhood and they will go and steal like five cars.0.60
00:23:55.000They will go and carjack five people all in one round, all in one, in the matter of like an hour, two hours, and then get away.
00:24:05.000They'll have big drive by shootouts in the cities.
00:24:25.000It says with continued robberies in the area, Chicago police have issued a warning about suspects only described as young men in their teens robbing items on display.
00:24:35.000Young men in their teens who have black skin.
00:24:42.000The state's attorney's office said this year to date, its prosecutors have reviewed and issued charges for 38 retail theft cases in the zip code 60611, which includes the Mag Mile and Streeterville.0.99
00:24:55.000A total of 18 were approved for felony charges, 10 were prosecuted, and convictions were obtained for six.
00:25:17.000You got crime sprees every week, in the daytime, on the weekdays, in the nicest neighborhoods in the city, the highest, the wealthiest zip codes, the highest taxpayers, the nicest businesses.
00:25:32.000They have gotten six people sentenced in the whole year, 38 charges.
00:25:42.000Six people sentenced so far this year.
00:25:48.000The state's attorney's office also noted that in December 2016, state's attorney Kim Fox increased the threshold to $1,000.
00:25:55.000Prosecutors said misdemeanor charges are issued for some thefts, but those are not included in the aforementioned data.
00:26:03.000The city's approach to prosecuting retail crime is similar to in San Francisco, where prosecutors only issue felony charges for thefts of property worth over $950.
00:26:14.000Walgreens cited the shoplifting issue as the reason it closed 17 stores and is planning to close another five throughout the city, according to the pharmacy last week.
00:26:26.000Stores throughout Chicago's Magnificent Mile are doing the same as Macy's closed its 170,000 square foot flagship store in the Water Tower Place last spring.
00:26:37.000Japanese retailer Uniqlo closed its 60,000 square foot store in August.
00:26:44.000And the Disney store closed its 7,000 square foot location on Michigan Avenue last month.
00:26:50.000In the past few years, Gap, Forever 21, and Tommy Bahama have also closed stores on the Magnificent Mile.
00:26:57.000The vacancy rate has skyrocketed from 11% in 2019 to 19% this year, according to ABC7.
00:27:10.000You know, I was going to cover this on Wednesday and I gave you a little preview.
00:27:13.000We all know what's going on, which is that these cities are exploding and the timing is really interesting.
00:27:21.000We all know why they're exploding.0.93
00:27:23.000One year ago, roughly one year ago, give and take some change, George Floyd died in Minneapolis, and the whole city was burned to the ground by black people, by black rioters, some of them activists, many of them looters and rioters, and they burned the city down nominally because of police brutality against George Floyd.0.91
00:27:48.000And this launched another year, a whole summer of a revanchist BLM movement.0.91
00:27:56.000Similar riots and protests took place across the country.
00:28:00.000There were other incidents similar to George Floyd, which sparked local protests and local riots.0.59
00:28:07.000And nominally, the goal of all of this activism and why we saw all the looting and burning and vandalism and why it was justified by many black intellectuals was because of the relationship between the police and black people in America.0.57
00:28:24.000The BLM narrative is that the police are the Institutional successors to the Ku Klux Klan and people that caught runaway slaves in the antebellum South, this is what they really believe.0.52
00:28:39.000They think that the reason we have a police in America is not like an ancient thing going back thousands of years to enforce laws.
00:28:49.000They believe that the police is a fundamentally racist institution designed to oppress black people.
00:28:58.000And that the police in America legally, officially, formally grew out of the KKK and the people that chased runaway slaves when they ran from the South to the North before the Civil War.
00:29:16.000And they believe that as a consequence, there are police at all, that the police arrest black people, that the police chase criminals, state prosecutors prosecute them, and that they get thrown in jail at disproportionately higher rates.
00:29:33.000They believe that all of that is intrinsically a racist action.
00:29:36.000And so, as you know, they called for the defunding of the police, the abolition of the police, and various cities and states made adjustments.
00:29:45.000And they changed the rules of engagement with their police, and they changed how they do convictions and sentencing.
00:29:54.000And throughout that, there were a lot of people, conservatives too, and a lot of people in the middle, that bought into this.
00:30:00.000And they said, yes, the problem that we have in America is a racist police problem.
00:30:05.000And an over incarceration problem, you know, too many black people being incarcerated.
00:30:11.000And there is this, by saying Black Lives Matter, this is supposed to affirm, in light of a country that does not agree, that, you know, black people cannot be killed in the streets for no reason.
00:30:23.000That was supposed to be the antithesis, apparently, of what our country is when they say Black Lives Matter.
00:30:29.000Because supposedly this is a country where they don't, is what they allege.
00:30:34.000Now, since then, what has happened in every major city in America?
00:30:39.000Since the police changed the rules of engagement, since they stopped prosecuting these so called low level crimes, since they increased the threshold for felonies in a variety of crimes, since the police stopped chasing criminals and stopped arresting them and locking them up, what has happened?
00:33:44.000Definition of a modern race riot is, you know, black people burn down the city.0.95
00:33:48.000I think it was in the 60s, late 60s, around the time when Martin Luther King Jr. got killed.1.00
00:33:55.000And I would know my grandfather had to camp out in the city when they were burning all the neighborhoods to the ground in Chicago.
00:34:02.000Those were some of the first race riots in the country, was when MLK Jr. died.
00:34:08.000And then, when did we see the worst crime in American history?0.51
00:34:11.000It was during the crack cocaine epidemic during the 80s and 90s, shortly thereafter.
00:34:18.000And then, as a result of the 94 crime bill and broken window policing and stop and frisk and Rudy Giuliani and Mayor Daley and lots of other things, eventually the crime was back under control.
00:34:29.000But in Chicago, what has crime been synonymous with just in the past 10 years and just in the past two years?
00:35:11.000They're amounting for the rise in the crime rate.
00:35:14.000We've got a population in this country, whether you like it or not, that has a problem here.
00:35:23.000It requires something like a military style occupation to hold these communities in a state of civilization.
00:35:33.000Without hardcore police, without police on every corner, without something that resembles a counterinsurgency like they have in Afghanistan or Iraq, it's anarchy.
00:35:48.000Is it like that with any other group in any other neighborhood?
00:35:51.000Because I'll tell you, you know, I grew up in a white suburb outside of Chicago.
00:35:59.000And if all the police packed up and left tomorrow, there wouldn't be mass looting.
00:36:04.000There wouldn't be gang shootings in the streets.
00:36:06.000Maybe people drive over the speed limit.
00:36:08.000Maybe they park on the part of the street where you're not supposed to.
00:36:12.000But in other words, those people in that neighborhood don't require the.
00:36:21.000Barrel of a gun being pointed at them at all times, or the threat of one being pointed at them for them to not steal, not kill, not loot, not rape, not burglarize.
00:36:32.000This is just a fact of our current diverse population in America.
00:36:38.000This is one of those things where race, and I've said it before on the show, just cannot be ignored.
00:36:43.000You know, I mean, we take a look at the story.
00:37:11.000When people tell me they're worried to come to Chicago and hang out and visit or whatever because of the crime, are they worried about Al Capone?
00:37:40.000And how can anybody say in this country that the changing demography doesn't matter?0.96
00:37:44.000How can anybody say that 100,000 Haitians pouring across our border doesn't matter when this is what the black people who have been here for 500 years are up to?0.73
00:37:58.000People look at the changing demography of our country.
00:38:01.000The whole country is starting to look more like the west side of Chicago or the south side of Chicago and everything that comes with it.
00:38:08.000And it looks like it in terms of the composition of who lives there and the way that they are and the way that they live.
00:38:15.000And that's how you get a city like we have in Chicago today.0.65
00:38:19.000The whole country is starting to look like that because of our immigration policies.
00:38:23.000Now, some people say it's got nothing to do with race.
00:38:26.000They look at these disparities, which we all know exist in the crime rate and income and wealth and so on, and they say, well, why is it that blacks are committing half the crime?0.98
00:38:34.000Why is it that it's Black teenagers doing all the looting on the Magnificent Mile.
00:38:38.000Why is it that you see a certain kind of person in San Francisco stealing from the Walgreens?0.99
00:38:44.000And people want to talk about root causes and they talk about socioeconomics and they talk about the legacy of racism and slavery and they talk about the lack of fathers in the homes and they talk about the welfare state and the great society under Lyndon Johnson and the New Deal and all of this.
00:39:03.000And some people say that the real problem is that the people living here and the people coming here are just not assimilating.0.77
00:39:10.000Everybody has the capacity to be like the white people.0.65
00:39:13.000Everyone has the capacity to be like the other Americans, how America used to be for the past 230 years.0.80
00:39:21.000But they say they've just got to assimilate.
00:39:53.000This is the state of D.C. and Baltimore and New York City and Los Angeles and Atlanta and Houston and Dallas and Austin and Kansas City and St. Louis.
00:40:14.00030 years of affirmative action, 60 years of civil rights.
00:40:18.000It's been 150 years since slavery ended, 400 years on the continent, and there's no assimilation.
00:40:24.000Not that I can see, there's no assimilation.
00:40:27.000Not culturally, not linguistically, not in terms of economics, not in terms of labor, not in terms of education or IQ, not in terms of crime.
00:40:41.000Not the same clothes, shows, music, nothing.
00:40:46.000And the behaviors forget even about that.0.73
00:40:50.000But we're supposed to believe that this country is going to go from 90% white in the 1960s to 50% non white at some point in the next two decades, maybe sooner, and nothing's going to change?0.80
00:41:29.000Because I always used to think when I was a kid, because I grew up in a neighborhood where there wasn't a lot of crime, I used to think, well, you just don't go where the crime is.
00:42:10.000And look at what our cities are like now homeless people everywhere, literally excrement on the streets, tent cities all over the place, even in the nicest neighborhoods.
00:42:34.000Billions of dollars of investment went into that.
00:42:37.000Building those planters that are down there, building up the riverfront, the bridges, the skyscrapers, the Tribune Tower, and the Wrigley Building, and all of it.1.00
00:42:49.000Also, that black teenagers can steal so much from the stores and make it such a living hell and a nightmare.1.00
00:42:57.000That stores can't even do business.1.00
00:42:59.000And now people can't go and shop, and they can't eat, and they can't see the sites, and so on.
00:43:04.000And there goes all the jobs, and there goes all the tax revenue, and there goes all the leisure and the recreation and the amenities and everything, and there go the cities.
00:43:16.000And so, what's the quality of life then for the rest of us?
00:43:19.000Even if you don't live in a neighborhood where there's crime, what's the quality of life for the rest of us?
00:43:26.000Do we have to constantly live in terror and in fear?
00:43:28.000We have to drive around in neighborhoods and look over our shoulder and wonder if someone's going to steal our car.
00:43:34.000Or mug us or kill us, we're gonna get hit with a stray bullet or something.
00:43:38.000And even if you don't, even if you're not victimized by the crime itself, do we really have to live like that and walk down the magnificent mile and see plywood boards over the Gucci store and see a vacant Disney store just emptied out?
00:43:53.000And we have to see cop cars posted at every intersection all along the way?
00:43:58.000Is that supposed to be the fate of every American city?
00:44:11.000If we decided tomorrow that we wanted to have no more of this, it could be over.
00:44:16.000You might not like what it would take to get there, but there's no question we could do it.
00:44:24.000If we decided tomorrow as a society, and if the government reflected that, if we decided we wanted this reign of terror to end and we wanted our cities back, it would end tomorrow.
00:44:37.000When all those people stormed the Capitol on January 6th, what did they do?
00:44:41.000They used geolocation on every person's phone who was inside the Capitol to track them down.
00:44:48.000They subpoenaed, or went with a search warrant, I should say, to Google and Facebook and Snapchat and every other company to find everybody that entered a search query about the Capitol, found direct messages, private group chats to find everybody that talked about it, everybody that posted about it.
00:45:06.000They put out a national bulletin to bring to justice every single person, posted their pictures in mass, security footage.
00:45:13.000People's own relatives turned the Capitol marchers in to the FBI.
00:45:20.000It's the largest investigation in the history of the country.
00:47:01.000Nobody really wants it that badly.0.94
00:47:03.000If it means profiling blacks, if it means acknowledging the racial disparity, if it means acknowledging that blacks are committing a disproportionate amount of the crime, they don't want to solve it.0.99
00:47:14.000People would rather have our cities be destroyed.0.99
00:47:18.000They would rather see the economic engine of the states and the country destroyed, the culture, like I said, all the things that we love about the cities or used to love, they're perfectly willing, maybe reluctantly, but nevertheless, they are willing to see all of that destroyed.
00:47:34.000And our quality of life destroyed, and they want us to live in a third world country because they don't want to be made uncomfortable by believing or saying or voting for something that is perceived of as racist.
00:47:48.000That's what a joke of a country that we have.
00:47:50.000We would rather see Macy's 175,000 square foot store leave the water tower place and see the planners destroyed and see plywood on every store and a 20% vacancy rate.
00:48:04.000Have five carjackings every day and gang shootouts in the middle of the city, then be perceived as racist.
00:48:13.000That's a really great value system, right?
00:48:16.000Nice value judgment that we're making as white people.
00:48:19.000And that's a very responsible decision we're making, by the way, not just for ourselves, but for our children.0.71
00:48:25.000That's a really responsible decision that we as white people are making for our white children and for our white grandchildren and our white progeny who will have to inherit this country.0.78
00:50:38.000Every day we are giving that up for this.
00:50:41.000We are choosing this because we don't want to be racist.
00:50:45.000And I'm not saying you should be racist.
00:50:47.000I'm saying, you know, we don't want to be made uncomfortable.
00:50:50.000We don't want to be perceived as racist.
00:50:53.000We don't want to get some frizzy haired black intellectual in our face, intellectual, using that term very lightly, telling us about our white privilege and white splaining and all of this because we don't want that.
00:53:53.000It is an essential part of who we are.
00:53:55.000It's a biological reality, and it has real and significant effects on our way of life and how we are going to get along in a Multiracial society.1.00
00:55:04.000The companies are enforcing, the deadlines are approaching.
00:55:08.000And I said recently that there's going to be a real opportunity for us to push back against the vaccine mandate because it couldn't have come at a worse time.
00:55:17.000You've got the holiday season coming up, which is the busiest chopping season of the year.
00:55:23.000And at the same time, you've got these horrible supply chain issues, shortages, inflation.
00:55:29.000You've got this completely out of whack shipping container situation where it costs an astronomical amount of money to get a shipping container from, what is it, China to America, but it's very cheap to go from America to China or something like that.
00:55:55.000We have got already a very vulnerable.
00:55:58.000We're in a very vulnerable situation in the coming months because they're saying right now you can't buy a Christmas tree.
00:56:05.000You might not be able to buy a Thanksgiving turkey.
00:56:07.000You might not be able to buy toys and other things because of supply chain issues and the increased demand that comes with the holiday season and the effectively ending COVID lockdown.
00:56:21.000And in the midst of that, now the federal government is trying to force everybody to get vaccinated.
00:57:07.000They're talking about opening up people's checking accounts to the IRS so that the IRS can find all the tax cheats so they can squeeze out every bit of tax revenue that they're owed that they're not getting it because they desperately need the money.
00:57:21.000They already doubled the money supply last year.
00:57:23.000So they're running out of options with monetary stimulus, fiscal stimulus.
00:57:28.000They need the tax base, they need the economy to perform.
00:57:32.000The economy needs the workers because there's a labor shortage.
00:57:37.000There's already this huge problem of workers that maybe it's because they're on unemployment or they got their COVID cash payments.
00:57:48.000There's lots of reasons for it, but there's already a labor shortage.
00:57:52.000Restaurants, businesses, logistics companies, there's a 60,000 person shortfall in truckers right now, 60,000 fewer truckers than are needed.
00:58:05.000So, the government and the administration need the economy.
00:58:08.000The economy needs the workers, but the government wants the workers to get the vaccine.
00:58:48.000By the way, this is from Politico, so I'm not making this up.
00:58:51.000I mean, all of this is pretty self evident, but this is from Politico.
00:58:55.000It says a trade group for air cargo giants like UPS and FedEx is sounding the alarm over an impending December 8th vaccine deadline imposed by President Joe Biden, complaining that it threatens to wreak havoc at the busiest time of the year and add yet another kink to the supply chain.
00:59:15.000The letter sent to the Office of Management and Budget asks the administration to postpone the deadline until the first half of Of 2022.
00:59:24.000At issue is the requirement by the administration that federal workers be fully vaccinated by December 8th.
00:59:30.000Unlike private businesses, companies that act as federal contractors cannot opt out by instead submitting their workforces to frequent COVID testing.
00:59:38.000So they have to have their employees vaccinated as contractors.
00:59:43.000The deadline has been hailed by public health officials as a way of increasing vaccination rates as the country continues to struggle with COVID 19 with the COVID 19 pandemic.
00:59:53.000But business groups and conservatives have warned.
00:59:56.000That it would have damaging economic impacts.
00:59:59.000The deadline brushes right up against the peak holiday season, and as some of the biggest cargo distribution companies, including UPS and FedEx, are already battling unprecedented labor shortages.
01:00:11.000Some of the members of the cargo association include FedEx, UPS, DHL Express, Atlas Air, which run cargo flights for Amazon.
01:00:20.000Alterman noted that many of these cargo carriers are helping move vital medical supplies, including vaccines, to combat the ongoing pandemic.
01:00:29.000For weeks, industry officials have held talks with the administration over the deadline and vaccine requirements, including communicating the various attempts to hold the vaccine drives for workers and better educate them on the benefits of the vaccine.
01:00:44.000But they relayed they faced significant difficulties meeting the tight deadline, according to two sources familiar with the discussions.
01:00:53.000One of the sources noted that the convergence of the holiday season, the quick turnaround on the deadline, and a worker shortage amid some vaccine resistance.
01:01:01.000Created a perfect storm for contractors involved in the delivery business.
01:01:08.000They believe it is nearly impossible to meet the federal requirement and really that their legal departments are still assessing how to implement the order.
01:01:40.000If they start to fire specifically these workers UPS, FedEx, DHL, Amazon, if they start to fire these workers in particular, it is going to collapse the economy.
01:01:54.000Now, I don't know if it's going to be like Great Depression level, anything crazy like that, but it's going to cause a lot of problems.
01:02:02.000If they start telling people, In large numbers, go home because you're not vaccinated.
01:02:45.000During a labor shortage, during a global supply chain disruption, while the Biden administration is trying to pass $4.5 trillion worth of spending, while we have 10 year high inflation, I'm still going 5%, 10 year high inflation after they already doubled the money supply last year.
01:03:31.000The most violent city in America where they have a 20% vacancy rate in the luxury district in the city because of crime, they're threatening their police officers?
01:03:46.000We're going to threaten the logistics.1.00
01:03:48.000People, the chipping people, the people that work at the ports, the truckers, UPS, Amazon, all of that during the holiday season with everything else going on, okay.1.00
01:04:00.000If you think that's a good idea, hey, be our guest.1.00
01:04:03.000That's going to suck for us, I'm sure.
01:04:06.000So I think that we have got to use this to our advantage.
01:04:08.000We have got to mobilize specifically these people UPS, Amazon, DHL, to the extent that it is possible, that'd be how you would do it.
01:05:02.000I wouldn't say that probably if there were another time of the year, if it wasn't like this, but I think uniquely this is a time when a protest like this could work.
01:05:11.000Because it wouldn't take much, like we saw with Southwest.
01:09:03.000But some America First Clips Twitter account posted this clip from my show where I said, you know, you can't kick all these immigrants out.
01:13:58.000Masato says, if a crab and a half weigh a pound and a half, but the crab weighs half as much again as the whole crab, what does half the whole crab and the whole of the half crab weigh?
01:17:21.000They're probably more paused in some respects than we are.0.99
01:17:25.000It's kind of even now, but I mean, I don't live there, but they've got like hate speech laws and they've got their police are fully gay.0.75
01:17:34.000They have like a fully gay police force.0.64
01:17:38.000Like it used to be no gays in the police.0.90
01:17:40.000Now it's no straight people in the police.0.79
01:17:42.000Like it's a prerequisite to be gay in the British police.0.97
01:17:47.000And they had a female prime minister.0.51
01:19:17.000Oscar says Hey, Nick, would you rather concede that Ben Shapiro is smarter than you and tell all your followers to go watch him instead of you or be forced to eat a cupcake with too much icing?
01:22:09.000I think that's a big reason why I can't get along with women is because they're not funny.1.00
01:22:16.000I don't really enjoy spending time with people that are not funny.1.00
01:22:21.000They don't even have to be funny themselves, but if they don't have a sense of humor, And women do not have a sense of humor.1.00
01:22:27.000Women are painfully, painfully unfunny.1.00
01:22:32.000They are, the only way that women are funny is unintentionally.1.00
01:22:36.000Like if they slip and fall or, you know, when they eat shit.1.00
01:22:40.000You know, when you see these TikToks of like a girl is at a party and she just takes a nasty spill and it's especially worse?0.58
01:22:50.000If a guy does it, it's funny because like guys getting hurt is kind of funny and they kind of take it in stride.0.63
01:22:57.000But there's something about the loss of, because like women are supposed to be, I don't know, sexy or something, graceful.0.88
01:23:05.000And so when a woman eats shit, it's for some reason, it's like there's a cruelty which makes it funnier.0.85
01:23:12.000Like I saw a video recently of this girl.0.99
01:23:15.000She jumps on a trampoline to get into a pool, but she jumps on the trampoline and just slams into the side of the pool and then just like crumples down onto the ground, onto the grass.
01:23:31.000Now, stuff like that is very funny, you know?
01:23:33.000Because they have like no semblance of, you know, for example, like I feel like a guy has an idea of don't stand on a certain kind of a table because it's not stable and you'll fall over.1.00
01:23:46.000They're the kind of people that they would like, they would like stand on a three legged table or something and think like that would be okay.1.00
01:36:21.000Prod says you currently have almost three times the live viewers Vosh has while he streams on both YouTube and Twitch simultaneously, yet these people claim you're irrelevant now.
01:40:31.000So, you know, you want to watch a show where people are feminist and simps, you want to watch a show where it's co ed and people play the reindeer games.
01:40:39.000Watch something else, watch another show.
01:40:42.000Every other show is like that, except for this one.
01:40:45.000This is the only show that tells it straight about men and women.
01:40:54.000Enjoyment, enjoyers, says, I'll remind everyone that the Protestants split away from the Roman Catholic Church because of corrupt medieval church practices.0.94
01:41:02.000That abomination sprung from the Latin West, not East.0.93
01:41:05.000The Orthodox Church has remained unchanged for 2,000 years.0.99
01:41:09.000Except for when they were forced to break away from the Council of Florence?
01:41:27.000The idea that you guys think you have true apostolic succession, that you are the Catholic Church of the Apostolic Succession, and not the Roman Church, is absurd on its face.
01:41:40.000Look, now I respect the Eastern Orthodox.
01:41:43.000I think that's about as good as it gets if you're not Catholic, but there's only one Catholic Church.
01:48:50.000Ortho Bros, meanwhile, quietly racking up W's in Russia and Eastern Europe.
01:48:54.000Yeah, well, we're racking up W's in heaven, so I'll take heaven.
01:48:59.000You know, the idea that, like, you know, once again, to say that your church is not under attack, it's not, you're not communicating what you think you are.
01:49:55.000It's part of being God's chosen people.
01:49:58.000James Farmer says, What I was saying to clear things up is that a lot of people like Japanese culture and rarely point out the demographics.0.87
01:50:05.000It's not wrong to point out America's demographics from the 50s.1.00
01:51:04.000Maybe, but I haven't been following it too closely, to be honest with you, with Japan.
01:51:08.000Enjoyment enjoyers is would you talk a big game over stream about Orthodox Christianity, but you would never debate Jay Dyer on the topic of church history and where the Roman Catholic Church went wrong?
01:51:52.000It's one thing to argue about, like, for example, is Trump good for the GOP?
01:51:59.000It's another thing to argue the 1,000 year debate about, When Jesus said to his disciples, I'll build upon this rock, I'll build my church.
01:52:11.000And then Peter goes to Rome and founds the church and their succession and so on, then the keys and the binding and loosing of sins, or did he mean the apostles?
01:52:20.000It's been going on for a thousand years.
01:52:26.000And people say, Well, you didn't do very well.
01:52:28.000It's like, Well, the arguments are the arguments.
01:52:30.000So, and yeah, Jay Dyer, he's more knowledgeable than me.
01:52:35.000He's got a degree in this, he's got a degree in.
01:53:01.000It really comes down to scripture, it really comes down to faith.
01:53:05.000But I mean, I don't know that you could even have a Basic knowledge of the gospel and think that, or of the, I should say, the Bible, the New Testament in particular, and say that you're going to have your Catholic church, your apostolic church, without Peter, without Rome.
01:53:25.000Like that just doesn't make any sense to me.
01:53:28.000You know, Peter is mentioned more than any other apostle in the Bible by far.
01:53:35.000And Jesus tells him, I'm building my church on you.
01:53:38.000Jesus changed his name from Simon to Peter.
01:53:43.000And they say, no, no, that's not what it means.
01:54:09.000But I did debate Jay Dyer, so I don't know what you're talking about.
01:54:11.000Donatello says, what happened to the Italian mob?
01:54:14.000Culture we saw in the Godfather, Wiser, No Modern Day, Don Corleone supporting the number one Italian American streamer, Nicholas J. Fuentes?0.85
01:55:14.000Chino says, got banned from commenting on Lauren Whitsky's Telegram for suggesting that she had a bad experience with COVID because she is an ex drug addict.
01:55:22.000She was trying to blame True News for making her sick with COVID tests.
01:55:27.000Okay, well, I don't know what you want me to do about that, but it's kind of rude, I guess.
01:55:33.000Nathaniels has been praying for you, Nick.
