00:01:21.000Brought to you by the Loan Experts I Trust, Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage at AndrewandTodd.com.
00:01:30.000Right now, as we are doing this show, the United States Supreme Court is hearing oral arguments around the Biden regime's OSHA mandate.
00:01:40.000If you are at all impacted or a loved one is impacted by Biden's stroke of the patent saying that he is going to have OSHA, the Occupational Safety and Hazard Administration come in and mandate vaccines for any employers 100 or more, this show is going to really matter to you.
00:01:59.000We are going to unpack the arguments themselves.
00:02:01.000We have audio from the U.S. Supreme Court.
00:02:04.000We're going to kind of read between the lines of how things are going.
00:02:45.000It's not going to happen, regardless of how the Supreme Court rules.
00:02:50.000It does look, though, slowly and surely, that the justices are peppering the Solicitor General of the United States, that they are cross-examining the arguments, and it seems as if a pattern is emerging of major legal, philosophical, and medical holes in the regime's attempt to try to mandate employers.
00:03:19.000Now, I just want you to understand how unprecedented and how immoral this would be.
00:03:26.000If I were to comply with our employees at Turning Point USA, I would have to meet with every single one of my employees and ask them about their intimate medical details.
00:03:40.000And I could potentially have to fire them, let them go, if they don't take an experimental piece of medicine that the federal government requires.
00:03:52.000First of all, that's just really creepy to tell an employer to sit down with their employees and say, oh, yeah, can I just see all the medicine that you're on?
00:04:00.000No, in fact, many of our employees, by the way, we have a long list of people that want to work for us at Turning Point USA because they know we're going to hold the line.
00:04:11.000They know we are not going to comply under any circumstances.
00:04:14.000And by the way, here's the amazing thing.
00:04:33.000The federal government, through the continuation of the IRA, the independent regulatory agencies, started under Woodrow Wilson, grew under Franklin Delano Roosevelt, perfected under Lyndon Baines Johnson, this German historicist fourth branch of government of blending all three branches into the maker of the laws, the interpreter of the laws, and the executor of the laws.
00:04:55.000Now, this is an important point: that this mandate had zero legislative input.
00:05:03.000Manchin and Tester, actually, I think just Tester, maybe Manchin.
00:05:07.000I know John Tester, when it came up in the U.S. Senate, voted against the mandate.
00:05:14.000So the representative of the actual people, the legislative branch, says, we don't like this mandate.
00:05:21.000Still, the executive branch decided to sign a piece of paper to say that we are going to force private businesses that have 100 employees or more on how to conduct themselves and how to, we are going to police the inner workings of private entrepreneurs and businesses.
00:05:41.000Now, the significance of this, if the Supreme Court rules correctly and says that we still have some semblance of private property in this country, that we still have some kind of glimmer of privacy and individual autonomy, then this would be a massive loss for the Biden regime.
00:05:59.000I do have a theory that I'll share with you later this hour, and I'll tell you why.
00:06:04.000I think Biden knows he's going to lose this in the courts.
00:06:07.000I think Biden knows he's going to lose it, and he's using this as kind of an excuse to his base.
00:06:11.000Look, I tried to do everything I possibly could.
00:06:14.000But I don't want to get too excited yet.
00:06:17.000Now, I am not a member of the U.S. Supreme Court.
00:06:21.000I'm unconvinced by some of these arguments, but they're not talking to me.
00:06:27.000We're going to go through some of these arguments.
00:06:28.000By the way, these arguments are happening in real time.
00:06:30.000This is live right now at the Supreme Court.
00:06:33.000And what I mean by that is they're very technical, legal, and administrative arguments that are being made.
00:06:42.000Now, Clarence Thomas, God bless him, Samuel Alito, God bless him, they've been going deeper.
00:06:48.000They've been asking questions that are a lot more substantive about the actual vaccine itself.
00:06:57.000And then also, I want to kind of build out what will happen if you give people like Breyer power over the courts long term.
00:07:07.000Because they're starting to foreshadow, they're starting to tilt their hand of precisely what they would do if they were ever to control Article III of the United States Constitution.
00:07:22.000But what's really on trial here, what's really being questioned at the U.S. Supreme Court right now is, yes, the employment futures and with that, the financial futures of millions of Americans.
00:07:34.000That's what's being debated at the Supreme Court.
00:07:36.000One of the most consequential, by the way, let me just say this, one of the most consequential immediate employment questions in front of the Supreme Court of a lifetime.
00:07:46.000If this mandate gets upheld, millions of people will lose their jobs unnecessarily, regardless of natural immunity, regardless of their ability to pursue early treatments.
00:07:58.000Millions of people will lose their jobs.
00:07:59.000If Biden is successful in front of the U.S. Supreme Court with this mandate right now, it will eliminate millions of jobs or people will resign in anticipation.
00:08:19.000Major action at the U.S. Supreme Court that could have big consequences on how much power President Biden should have.
00:08:27.000The justices right now are hearing emergency oral arguments challenging Biden's sweeping COVID vaccine mandates.
00:08:34.000And plaintiffs are arguing that states, not Washington, should have authority over the mandates and calling the federal crackdown unnecessary and counterproductive.
00:08:47.000Now, I would go a step further, but again, I am not the ones arguing the case.
00:08:53.000These people obviously know infinitely more than I will ever do on how to persuade a Supreme Court justice.
00:08:59.000States should not even have the power to be able to mandate private companies what they do in their workplace.
00:09:05.000But fine, get Biden off your back, then I can deal with Arizona.
00:09:14.000But I also worry about my fellow countrymen in the state of Washington, where Jay Insuli will happily make an even worse mandate.
00:09:22.000He'll say, okay, if you have four employees, you have to do this.
00:09:24.000However, if you do leave it to the states, there is a fair amount of freedom and protection of the movement between states, and there's a lot more connectivity to your elected officials.
00:09:37.000We're going to go through these arguments one by one.
00:09:40.000It's a really interesting window into how the Biden regime views themselves, views their role, what they're trying to create, what they're trying to do, and the legal pushback against that.
00:09:53.000And then we're going to go to Justice Sotomayor, who might be one of the most disappointing people ever to serve on the U.S. Supreme Court.
00:10:01.000I don't, even though she's on the U.S. Supreme Court.
00:10:05.000And I'm going to tell you how this is going to lay the groundwork for potential moves against other amendments to the U.S. Constitution via the Bill of Rights.
00:10:18.000As many of you know, most of corporate America is going woke.
00:10:22.000And that includes those companies who are investing your hard-earned retirement money.
00:10:43.000The thing that I like about PAX Financial Group is they have biblical responsible investments.
00:10:47.000These investments screen out companies that promote abortion, pornography, alcohol, drugs, gambling, and are anti-family or anti-Christian.
00:10:55.000Look, if you have $150,000 or more in your IRA, 401ks, or other investments, and you want to speak to my friends at PAX, visit paxfinancialgroup.com.
00:11:08.000Right now, they want to offer you a free e-book to learn about biblical responsible investing.
00:11:13.000Grab this e-book right now at paxfinancialgroup.com.
00:11:17.000Let's start investing in companies and make everyone's liberty a priority.
00:11:23.000This beautiful document, the greatest political document ever written in the U.S. Constitution, is on trial right now.
00:11:29.000The idea of natural rights given to you by God, not by government, is a unique American interpretation of human existence.
00:11:36.000It was a profound step forward in something that both the Declaration articulates in its own way.
00:11:43.000When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands that have tied them to the nether, the separate equal station.
00:11:50.000And it goes on to say the laws of nature and nature's God.
00:11:54.000This idea that there's a hierarchy to existence, that human beings are made in the image of God, that government is created from the sovereign, the people.
00:12:04.000This is why a republic is a completely different form of government than a democracy.
00:12:11.000So, right now, these debates are ongoing.
00:12:14.000And let's just kind of go through the players for those of you that don't spend as much time mulling about the U.S. Supreme Court as we do here on this show.
00:12:27.000For those of you that do not know about Clarence Thomas, I encourage you to spend some time reading his book, reading about him.
00:12:34.000And I always love how BLM conveniently ignores Clarence Thomas, a man who grew up in absolute poverty, moved up to the Supreme Court, is a devout Catholic, and the media has done their best to try to smear and slander the honorable man of Clarence Thomas.
00:12:48.000Next is Elito, Bush appointee, probably the best thing George W. Bush actually did in his presidency.
00:12:54.000Bush also gave us Roberts, so you got to kind of balance that.
00:13:01.000Next, Gorsuch, Trump appointee, first one that Trump put forward to fill the late seat of the phenomenal, the exceptional, the whimsical Justice Antonin Scalia, who is just really special.
00:13:34.000Amy Coney Barrett has disappointed us in two rulings, but it's not enough for us to make a judgment on her judicial future.
00:13:41.000So just right there, those five people, Barrett, Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, Alito, Thomas, should be enough to strike this down.
00:13:50.000Then we get into the, let's say, vanilla middle of the man who actually has moved more to the left for what reason other than country club membership and book deals, I don't know.
00:14:01.000John Roberts, who is the Chief Justice of the United States, appointed by George W. Bush, he actually has been asking some okay questions in this.
00:14:11.000And then we have the Bolshevik commissars, the Maoists, the cultural revolutionists.
00:14:23.000And those three are reliably anti-constitutional.
00:14:27.000Whatever you might be debating, whatever might be the issue, no matter what it is, it's a rubber stamp for the destruction of the republic from Sodomayor, Kagan, and Breyer.
00:14:37.000So they're somewhat of a waste of time.
00:14:38.000But later in the show, I do want to dive into some of the language they're using, the arguments they're using, because it's very important that you, as the audience, are made aware of how they interpret the Constitution, how they interpret the citizenry.
00:15:10.000Justice Clarence Thomas about the federal government's vaccine or test mandate asks, how effective are these vaccines?
00:15:20.000He gets straight to the heart of the issue.
00:15:22.000You see, instead of dancing around the administrative or legal argument, Clarence Thomas says, wait a second, what are we actually mandating here?
00:15:32.000There's been some suggestion, or at least it seems to be Implied that the vaccinations are efficacious in preventing some degree of infection to others.
00:15:49.000Could you talk about that, particularly as I remember in the filings that the 18 to that the younger workers, the 20-year-olds who are unvaccinated are actually safer than the older workers who aren't vaccinated.
00:16:08.000So there are obviously some differences.
00:16:12.000So Clarence Thomas gets straight to the heart of the issue of what exactly why are we mandating this for younger workers or all workers.
00:16:23.000And then there's some administrative arguments that started to pop up.
00:16:26.000But based, and you have to realize when these justices are asking questions, when these justices are going back and forth, they're sometimes talking to each other.
00:16:38.000They're not just talking to the solicitor generals or the people making the arguments.
00:16:45.000On a daily basis, people are being inundated with ads for overpriced boxers with some sort of slick ad campaign, and some would say innuendos.
00:16:53.000Personally speaking, I prefer to keep this topic very private, but I'm happy to tell you about a company that is a great product and shares our values.
00:16:59.000I want to tell you about Under TAC, the only men's basic brand that is unapologetically Christian, pro-American, pro-military, very, very proud, pro-2A.
00:17:08.000They put comfort and functionality first by integrating a quick release fly and secret pocket in extra-wide waistband for cash or tactical necessities.
00:17:16.000They're also antibacterial, anti-pilling, and the moisture-wicking fabric is super soft and comfortable.
00:17:21.000Under TAC is durable, fade-resistant, shrink-resistant, and ultra-lightweight.
00:17:25.000Here's the best part: they're 30% less expensive than the competition.
00:17:47.000Boy, we have more tape than we know what to do with, but it's really important, especially for those of you right now that are working for companies that are saying, hey, the OSHA mandate's coming forward.
00:17:57.000For example, you might work for a worthless company like Chick-fil-A.
00:18:01.000Chick-fil-A, which has incredibly overrated food, which is saying to their employees that if they don't get the vaccine mandate, then we're going to fire all the employees.
00:18:13.000We're going to fire you by early February.
00:18:22.000And that is in great contrast, by the way, to the wonderful In-N-Out Burger, where In-N-Out Burger has said we are not mandating vaccines for our employees.
00:18:30.000We're not mandating vaccines for our customers.
00:18:58.000She's remote asking questions because she says she's a diabetic and she might, she's afraid of getting COVID.
00:19:06.000Now, I don't know what number she's coming up with, but here's a good rule for life.
00:19:18.000Arguments from authority need to be called out into question.
00:19:25.000So being on the U.S. Supreme Court, one would think you're aware, you're wise, you're smart, and you are willing to look at things as they are.
00:19:40.000Justice Sotomayor, in this back and forth, has just said 100,000 children are hospitalized with COVID and many are on ventilators.
00:19:51.000Now, we twice this week have played the clip from Fauci that has said that's not true.
00:19:55.000Okay, they come in with a broken leg or a broken hip.
00:21:01.000Justice Alito went back and forth with Elizabeth Prologer, the U.S. Solicitor General, speaks fluent Russian and worked on the Bob Mueller investigation, just an interesting wrinkle.
00:21:14.000They went back and forth on how unvaccinated workers are a danger to vaccinated workers.
00:21:21.000But I thought if it's a vaccine, then that shouldn't prevent them.
00:21:25.000Let me ask you a question before I play this.
00:21:28.000When I was a child, I received the polio vaccine.
00:22:27.000And one of the risks that OSHA was guarding against here was the risk that unvaccinated workers pose to other workers because they are so much more likely to transmit this death disease.
00:22:52.000We can't sustain this on that ground that this is helpful to the vaccinated workers because the unvaccinated workers present a risk to them.
00:22:58.000Oh, to be clear, they present a risk to other unvaccinated workers who also might be older, who might have other people who have balanced the risks differently, maybe very foolishly, but they want to balance the risks presented to their health in a different way.
00:23:19.000And that applies when you're on the job and also when you're not on the job and for the rest of your life because you have to take these vaccines unless the testing option is valuable.
00:23:36.000The female voice is the Marxist solicitor general that works for Biden.
00:23:41.000And basically he's saying, wait a second, how are you trying to say that we now need to vaccinate unvaccinated people to try to protect against vaccinated people?
00:23:55.000Alito continued by asking about adverse reactions to the vaccine.
00:24:03.000And that segues beautifully to a news story out of NPR, which I want to build out an argument around that, which is really important.
00:24:16.000But is it not the case that these vaccines and every other vaccine of which I'm aware and many other medications have benefits and they also have risks?
00:24:26.000And that some people who are vaccinated and some people who take medication that is highly beneficial will suffer adverse consequences.
00:24:55.000This probably doesn't go to the dispositions matter, but is a vaccine the only way to treat COVID?
00:25:07.000It is certainly the single most effective way to target all of the hazards OSHA identified, both the chances of contracting the virus in the first place, the risk of infecting other workers on the work site, and with respect to the negative health consequences, that vaccination provides protection on all of those fronts.
00:25:24.000Even though the most vaccinated places, like Israel, are showing record rates, even though you have 100% vaccinated ships that are spreading the virus.
00:25:40.000Israel, right now, one of the most vaccinated and boosted nations in the world, has just reported a new number of COVID-19 cases yesterday.
00:26:25.000Has any other, has OSHA ever imposed any other safety regulation that imposes some extra risk, some different risk on the employee, so that if you have to wear a hard hat on the job, wearing a hard hat has some adverse health consequences.
00:26:45.000Can you think of anything else that's like this?
00:26:48.000I can't think of anything else that's precisely like this, but I think that to suggest that OSHA is precluded from using the most common, routine, safe, effective, proven strategy to fight an infectious disease at work would be a departure from how the statute should be understood.
00:27:05.000Now, Alito's getting into the adverse events.
00:27:18.000For those of us that study the news and we report it for hours a day and we really take time to prep our shows and our commentary, you start to see a certain pattern from the regime.
00:27:29.000There's something called a drip strategy.
00:27:37.000A drip strategy is where there is a slow-motion cover-up that happens over a long period of time with seemingly unconnected data points that when looked back retrospectively a couple years later, someone will be able to discount the bombshell smoke and gun revelation by sharing a multitude of otherwise unrelated articles proving the point.
00:28:07.000If you'd read the news carefully, you're starting to see more and more mainstream outlets, NPR, New York Times, report on health complications that happen after getting the vaccine.
00:28:22.000For example, the New York Times had one where they said myocarditis presents a risk to young boys.
00:29:34.000And now you have NPR, National Public Radio, doing a little bit of a trial balloon, doing a little bit of a drip campaign saying, oh, yeah, hey, by the way, your menstrual cycle might change, but you should still get one.
00:29:45.000And then you add the myocarditis, you add the VARES data.
00:29:48.000All of a sudden, Alito asking those questions, he might be onto something.
00:29:55.000Look, everyone out there has been asking me, Charlie, how do I get more pillows?
00:30:54.000Just to complete the point, though, is that you start to see a drip campaign by the regime media as a way to try and say in the future, well, as previously reported, basically like this is not a story.
00:31:10.000We told you the vaccines weren't totally safe.
00:31:13.000It is a slow-motion gaslighting campaign.
00:31:19.000The Chief Justice Roberts, just a couple minutes ago, suggested that OSHA cannot authorize a vaccine or test mandate because Congress wasn't thinking about COVID when it passed the law 50 years ago.
00:31:31.000Now, this is not, I'm not going to compliment John Roberts for like a heroic constitutional interpretation here.
00:32:50.000This goes to show how lazy and how sloppy both Congress and the courts have become.
00:32:57.000The Constitution did not anticipate, the framers did not anticipate, a fourth branch of government to be created simply and solely to be able to make the laws and to interpret them and to be able to have an untouched ability.
00:33:16.000Where John Roberts should have gone, but he's basically too afraid to do so.
00:33:23.000Where in the Constitution does it give the authority to create an agency that is completely immune to legislative congressional oversight that the President of the United States can just sign by the stroke of a pen to go into private businesses?
00:33:37.000Now, the reason John Roberts didn't say that is it would have undone the court's laziness the last 40 years that would have created the regime of the independent regulatory agencies that would have allowed the SEC, the FDIC, the EPA, any one of these regulatory agencies.
00:33:53.000The Federal Trade Commission is another great example.
00:33:56.000The CFIB, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, all of these different ones.
00:34:01.000But that really gets to the heart of the issue, doesn't it?
00:34:03.000Which is we have here the fourth branch of government flexing its muscles, and Roberts is basically saying, wait a second, I don't think that they were thinking about this.
00:34:12.000Now, all of these mandates are built off of a bad decision that happened in 1905, Jacobson v. Massachusetts.
00:34:20.000That decision was actually cited by Justice Louis Brandeis for the forced sterilization of, quote, idiot women, not my term, the term in the 1920s of tens of thousands of women that were forcibly sterilized because their IQs were too low.
00:34:36.000And that was because of the Jacobson v. Massachusetts decision that is basically being challenged right now, not explicitly.
00:34:45.000This is not a direct appeal to Jacobson v. Massachusetts, but this is a question holistically about vaccines.
00:34:51.000And it's looking less and less like a vaccine and more and more like an injectable therapeutic.
00:35:12.000If, if, if Amy Coney Barrett rules correctly, if Amy Coney Barrett does what she should do, the Supreme Court should strike down this vaccine mandate.
00:35:26.000Based on these arguments, and we have very little indication on where Kavanaugh's head is at, but he's actually been okay on these types of issues.
00:35:34.000But Amy Coney Barrett was very disappointing when an Indiana case with Indiana University of her home circuit, she actually was from Notre Dame, if you remember.
