On the program, in studio, the head of the Southwest Airline Pilot Union.
00:01:49.360
Going to be an interesting conversation that we have with him.
00:01:56.960
Of course, we preview tonight's Wednesday night special.
00:02:00.920
William Shatner is being shot into space in about half an hour.
00:02:14.420
If there was a time that that would really stand out as the story of the day.
00:02:29.520
She wrote in about her experience with Relief Factor.
00:02:32.940
I started taking Relief Factor about two months ago.
00:02:39.960
In addition to my arthritis, I have a lot of other aches and pains throughout my body.
00:02:43.740
Relief Factor has been a miracle worker for me.
00:02:48.540
Took a few weeks to start working, but boy, was it worth it once it did.
00:03:07.660
Anyway, always nice to hear Relief Factor help somebody else as much as it has helped me.
00:03:12.540
Relief Factor, not a drug, but developed by doctors.
00:03:16.920
70% of the people who try Relief Factor go on to buy more.

00:03:31.080
So, I want to encourage you to find out where your school board meets and when they meet.
00:03:41.640
And I want to encourage you to go to the school board meeting.
00:03:49.920
Even if you have nothing to say, quite honestly, even if you don't have kids in school, just go to the school board meeting.
00:03:56.060
It is time for the people of America to stand up and the biggest impact you have been making right now is locally with the school boards.
00:04:06.880
You are winning and that is why they're sending the FBI after people.
00:04:12.100
Now, the reason why they sent the FBI is because, well, the Biden administration actually asked the school boards to write and ask for FBI help.
00:04:24.220
So, they were using Loudoun County really as the place where terroristic threats were made, even though there's not terroristic threats.
00:04:35.640
But one of the guys that was cited was the, we now know, the dad of a girl that went into a bathroom and a boy that says he's transgender, bisexual.
00:04:51.980
He comes in wearing a skirt sometimes, went into the bathroom and he raped this 15-year-old girl.
00:05:05.080
Well, the school board covered that up and they knew all about it and they wouldn't say anything about it.
00:05:11.860
And that's when the dad walked into the school board meeting and he stood up and he was about to speak and about to say what he was going to say.
00:05:20.760
And some liberal came up to him and said, I don't believe your daughter.
00:05:27.720
And he kind of went a little nuts, as I think all of us would.
00:05:36.600
She immediately called the police over and he was taken out in handcuffs.
00:05:40.140
That's the video that we've seen a million times.
00:05:45.520
Well, last night, more than 60 concerned parents and students spoke at the school board meeting, many of them demanding the resignation of the superintendent, Scott Ziegler.
00:05:58.280
Scott is the guy who really covered all of this up.
00:06:03.060
Scott is the guy at that meeting saying, we have never had an incident of any kind of problems in our bathrooms with transgender students.
00:06:15.180
He said that the week of the kid raping this man's daughter.
00:06:25.920
They passed all of the legislation or all of the new rules for the school board in their bathrooms.
00:06:31.800
And they were claiming that there's never been a predator, transgender ever in the history of the school.
00:06:44.920
Now, at another school, a 15-year-old boy was charged with sexual battery and abduction of a fellow student.
00:06:52.320
This, according to the sheriff's office, they won't say if it was the same boy or not, because it's all confidential.
00:07:01.120
But the word on the street is, it is the same boy.
00:07:06.020
He forced a female victim into her empty classroom where he held her against her will and assaulted her, sexually assaulted her.
00:07:17.940
It may be that there's no ramifications in Loudoun County for sexual assault for kids.
00:07:27.320
I wanted to bring Pat in a little early today, along with Stu, my executive producer.
00:07:34.740
And I have to tell you, I think the parent, the dad, is the most restrained dad I've ever seen.
00:07:41.280
I don't know what I would have done had I been in his situation.
00:07:55.020
I mean, this guy's been charged with counts of forcible sodomy and other forcible sexual acts.
00:08:05.060
And then to have somebody come up and tell you, I don't believe your daughter.
00:08:14.060
If we can just save one child, all of that stuff.
00:08:21.920
And they will not acknowledge even the possibility of, let's say, a hetero person portraying themselves as trans, going into the bathroom and doing these kinds of things.
00:08:40.460
That that could absolutely and has already happened multiple times.
00:08:44.060
It's so inconsistent with their the vision they propagate of men generally, who are just nonstop sexual stalkers and people who are abusing women and all the time.
00:08:58.740
This kid says he's he's bisexual and he wears a skirt sometimes to school.
00:09:07.280
I mean, he obviously he's a sexual predator and we don't seem to care anymore.
00:09:15.080
And this I think this is the quintessential Bubba effect waiting to happen.
00:09:21.800
Because if that dad would have gone in and and taken justice, you know, in his own hands, we'd all know it was wrong.
00:09:37.780
But we also would all say, wouldn't you have done that?
00:09:43.400
Wouldn't you have done that if you were the dad and you were just not getting justice anywhere and no one was listening to you and they were continuing to lie and they were lying and covering up this predator who had just done awful, awful things to your daughter.
00:09:59.580
And then they dismiss your daughter, cover it up, let the guy go.
00:10:13.140
They've there's been multiple stories over the last six months or so.
00:10:17.300
And the way they respond to people who have concerns.
00:10:20.140
Oh, my gosh, is so dismissive and condescending.
00:10:24.900
They're the ones who don't have to listen to you.
00:10:30.640
And Virginia, if you are thinking about reelecting Governor, what's his face, the McAuliffe, are you are you out of your mind when he's actually come out and saying you don't have a right for your children?
00:10:50.380
I don't have a right for you obviously don't care about my child as much as I do.
00:10:56.580
All these things get used whenever they need them to be used.
00:10:59.740
I mean, like we're when it's college, we're told that the average college student is being raped at a rate higher than the Rwandan genocide.
00:11:11.460
That's literally what the statistics that they propagate.
00:11:15.420
It's not like one in four, one in five women get raped in college, which is obviously not true.
00:11:20.360
Why would any father ever send their kid to college if that were true?
00:11:25.720
Yet at the other side, when we have an actual credible allegation of someone who actually went through this, we get we don't believe you.
00:11:38.760
It's just not going to stand in their arrogance.
00:11:49.680
These people are completely out of control and they're in your local district.
00:11:58.220
You have the right to demand answers from your local school board.
00:12:07.220
You know, yesterday, again, they they're not having open meetings.
00:12:16.460
And so there's no one in the room except the speaker.
00:12:19.000
So there's no way to hear what what any of the other speakers are saying.
00:12:23.360
And you're not getting support when you're standing.
00:12:36.480
14 year old school student in the school district claimed 840.
00:12:41.560
And this is the policy about the transgender bathrooms.
00:12:44.720
And many of the policies that are being proposed are not to make people feel more comfortable or to accept others, but instead to change the way my peers.
00:12:54.720
And I think so, we'll become the next generation of social justice warriors.
00:13:02.440
The fact that I have to be here defending my rights to not have your radical agenda shoved down my throat in school is not only concerning.
00:13:11.680
My peers and I are not tools to further your political agenda.
00:13:19.880
These school board members knew about the first incident in the June 22nd meeting.
00:13:24.020
I'm sorry, but they all knew the case when they were here for the meeting.
00:13:28.100
And now another child has been hurt by the same predator.
00:13:36.200
You know, a really good example of what to do about this comes from one of our suburbs here in the Dallas-Fort Worth area with Southlake.
00:13:45.120
And what Southlake parents did at their school board because they were getting the same kind of treatment.
00:13:50.760
They're getting the condescending, oh, yeah, that's cute.
00:13:55.980
So three of the parents ran against three of the people on the school board and beat them and won.
00:14:08.680
Well, there was also one parent, a guy who runs the GOP, and it's a very different GOP in this county.
00:14:20.620
And he's running for county judge now, which is a very big deal.
00:14:26.560
It's not the kind of judge that you have every place else.
00:14:31.620
And he raised, I think, $250,000 to be able to do all the publicity and everything else so those people could get elected.
00:14:46.060
Hello, rich people, parting with their money and supporting these parents and supporting these people and making sure that their voice is heard.
00:14:55.600
And when you are standing up, you're not alone.
00:15:00.920
And I urge you, every single person within the sound of my voice, find out where your school board meeting is and send a message nationwide.
00:15:13.620
Believe me, this is the school board association that asked for the FBI.
00:15:22.480
It was the school board, the school board association.
00:15:27.260
So send a message to that association by showing up and being at your next school board meeting.
00:15:42.620
We are watching you and we are not afraid of you.
00:15:53.800
Rhode Island schools are now promoting a book with gay pornography to minors in the school library.
00:16:00.180
The pornographic book was published by Lion Forge Comics.
00:16:04.340
It's titled Gender Queer, a memoir authored and illustrated by someone who uses the made up pronouns of EM and air, I guess.
00:16:15.500
A resident of South Kingston and a mom of a kindergartner.
00:16:20.980
Mom of a kindergartner posted a picture of the book in a display case on Twitter and highlighted the pornographic images contained between the covers.
00:16:31.660
She also posted out an image of the type typed out report that says that she sent to police writing that she is submitting evidence of distribution of pornography at North Kingstown High School and that the book was made available to minor children.
00:16:48.020
Gender Queer is highlighted in the library of several high schools in Rhode Island calling for the prosecution of the school employees who are responsible for its distribution.
00:16:59.440
The book, which is currently ranked number 11 in Amazon's LGBTQ plus 11M97 graphic novels, features discussion of gay sexual fantasies and is incredibly graphic, including scenes of gay men having sex and a scene of one man performing oral sex on another.
00:17:22.360
It focuses on bonding with friends over erotic gay fan fiction.
00:17:33.980
It's not that I can't say it on the air, which I can't.
00:17:44.340
This is an award winning book from the School Library Association that needs to be needs to be done.
00:17:51.000
If you are not in your school board meeting, we're going to lose.
00:18:01.020
They are at our children and they well, let me give you one more in give me 60 seconds and I'm going to come back.
00:18:08.540
I'll tell you one more story that is just as bad.
00:18:13.260
First, let me tell you about something that you can do.
00:18:15.640
While your kids are being filled with absolute garbage, garbage, you need to find back.
00:18:25.660
I want to talk to I want to talk to you about the Tuttle Twins, the Tuttle Twins books, something that you can teach the things that quite honestly, I never learned.
00:18:37.960
I mean, when did you first read Road to Serfdom?
00:18:45.420
OK, this is a kid's book that goes through the road of serfdom.
00:18:50.780

Canada has always seemed like a crazy place when it comes to schools, but we are closely catching up to them.
00:19:53.380
An exhaustive and detailed memo from the Toronto School Board shares ways that teachers and administrators can help students hide their gender transition from their parents.
00:20:05.780
And you are expected to do this as a teacher in a memo called guidelines for the accommodation of transgender and gender independent, nonconforming students and staff.
00:20:16.900
The school board outlines best practices for how teachers should go about facilitating a student's gender transition.
00:20:28.340
They are deliberately hiding the information from parents.
00:20:40.080
All students have a right to privacy unless specifically directed by the student schools must keep a student's transgender, gender, nonconforming status confidential, meaning you cannot tell the parents or the guardians.
00:20:53.020
School staff should not disclose a student's school staff should not disclose a student's transgender, gender, nonconforming status to others unless there is a specific need to know.
00:21:03.920
I have a specific need to know what's going on in my child's life.
00:21:09.640
Again, they are telling you that you are not in charge of your children.
00:21:15.980
And I don't think I don't think the average American believes that.
00:21:42.600
And to show you how surreal life is right now, I invite my co-host to now look up at the screen and see William Shatner in a giant penis.
00:22:06.740
Or this is just like a big space joke on the rest of us?
00:22:14.580
Well, because it's like that would be the joke you'd make about some CEO building a spaceship.
00:22:24.460
And I mean, you know, they care about the environment so much they're sending William Shatner into space.
00:22:31.560
I mean, that seems like a good use of CO2, doesn't it?
00:22:48.200
Unfortunately, cybersecurity isn't something that you have to protect yourself from once.
00:22:56.660
Of course, I hear there's no natural immunity when it comes to COVID, too.
00:23:01.020
Anyway, cyber criminals, they don't take the weekends off from trying to find new ways to steal your identity and everything else that you own.
00:23:08.020
It's important that you understand how cyber crime and identity theft is affecting your life.
00:23:12.740
You put your information at risk every day if you're connected to the Internet.
00:23:23.040
And if they detect something because nobody can prevent all identity theft or monitor everything, they'll send you an alert.
00:23:29.160
Plus, you have access to a dedicated restoration specialist if you become a victim.
00:23:34.300
This is way, way better than anything else that anybody else is offering.

It is one year, one year later, the New York Post published the Hunter Biden laptop story.
00:24:27.040
In this year, we have seen an awful lot come to light.
00:24:32.140
And the Hunter Biden laptop story has been vindicated.
00:24:37.640
The New York Post has gone from Russian disinformation to computer hacking to unsubstantiated to now absolutely accurate.
00:24:50.500
They revealed a year ago, his abandoned laptop, that it carried proof in it that he sold influence while his father served as vice president and his dad now president, knew it.
00:25:14.500
They took all of the vital information that might have helped people vote and make a decision on who these people were.
00:25:24.740
And in a year, here is the best line from the Post's anniversary article.
00:25:31.700
The only thing that the media has learned is that it worked.
00:25:38.360
Big tech and big media got their way at the expense of our democracy.
00:25:47.480
From the Bidens to social media companies to the press.
00:25:59.180
You think this material has been in the hands of Peter Schweizer for some time.
00:26:03.580
And Peter is known for being able and his team to dig into these things and make people understand how important they are.
00:26:16.640
I haven't told you this, but he is sending me an advance copy because he wants to join me.
00:26:23.840
He said, Glenn, you need to do a chalkboard series on this.
00:26:27.240
He said, you can make this really understandable.
00:26:30.860
He said, so I'm sending you the advance copy so you can start working on the chalkboard.
00:26:35.840
And in the first week, couple of weeks of January, we're going to be going through with Peter all of the evidence and a chalkboard.
00:26:47.600
If there's ever been anything that proves the value of a Belize TV subscription, that'll be it.
00:26:54.340
I mean, that's going to be a book you're going to want to read.
00:26:56.200
You're going to want to watch the chalkboard series on it.
00:26:58.720
And I can't, of course, guarantee that the left will pay attention to it or the media will pay attention to it or that social media will let you post any of it.
00:27:09.740
But I will say we will know what is in that laptop and we will know all of it.
00:27:14.480
Not just that we've seen a lot of salacious things out of it.
00:27:17.640
But Peter will be able to not only find what is important on the laptop and, by the way, multiple other email accounts he has access to.
00:27:28.940
He'll be able to tie it all together with financial transactions.
00:27:43.060
In a normal society, the DOJ would already be in on this.
00:27:46.760
The DOJ has been in on this for two years now and nothing.
00:27:51.360
The best chance that we have for Joe Biden to be held accountable for this is his approval rating to be so low that the left wants to get rid of him.
00:28:03.760
They wouldn't have done anything to Andrew Cuomo.
00:28:05.820
But number one, he had pissed off a bunch of other Democrats in the state.
00:28:09.240
And number two, he was no longer worth their while.
00:28:13.580
And so they were able to throw him to the wolves because...
00:28:19.480
I'm not saying I want to do that, but I'm saying if you get...
00:28:23.000
They get through a 2022 election where they get destroyed and they lose to the Senate and the House and he's got a 38% approval rating.
00:28:30.080
They're going to start thinking long and hard about changing that whole situation up before 2024 Congress.
00:28:37.380
I think they're waiting for him to die, hoping that he will die in the next...
00:28:41.600
No, seriously, they wake up one morning and they're like, the president didn't wake up.
00:28:45.580
And then the nation goes into mourning and then, you know, then they say his legacy is under attack by these mean...
00:28:52.960
I mean, you can't take him out because Nancy Pelosi is the vice president unless Kamala picks one.
00:29:04.960
But she is constitutionally the next in line if Kamala says, you know what?
00:29:16.140
And the issue here, and this is one of the reasons people say all the time, like, oh, Joe Biden is doing so poorly.
00:29:25.260
They're going to say, you know, he's got health problems, whatever it is, and he goes away.
00:29:30.440
So a 50-50 Senate means Kamala Harris's tie-breaking vote is no longer there because she's not vice president.
00:29:37.500
And he'd say, well, she's going to name a new vice president, right?
00:29:40.560
Problem is that needs to get through the Senate.
00:29:42.720
So they have to get somebody that Republicans would approve.
00:29:46.560
If I were the left, I would be hoping that this man, I would be shooting him up with vitamins and every possible thing I could to keep him going.
00:29:58.160
Yeah, as bad as a president he is, politically speaking, they can't lose him.
00:30:03.800
I think they both, they all realize that they are in massive trouble in 2022, which is why I believe they're acting as, at least partially why I believe they're acting as aggressively as they are.
00:30:17.580
Because they know this is going away anyway in two years, in less than two years now.
00:30:21.820
They realize that they're probably going to lose the election.
00:30:26.600
So whatever they want to get done, they need to get done now.
00:30:30.840
And that is a calculation I think they've made, which is different than what the Obama administration made.
00:30:37.900
They had 60 senators and they slow played it, thinking, well, we can hold on.
00:30:56.980
Two lessons they took over the past couple of elections.
00:31:00.360
Number one, when you get the presidency and you get the power, go for it.
00:31:12.600
Eventually, people like their free stuff and they go.
00:31:16.100
Number two, stop playing this game like they did in 2016.
00:31:20.220
2016, they gave, they let people know about the scandal with Hillary Clinton in her emails.
00:31:27.500
Now, they dismissed it, but they kept talking about it.
00:31:30.560
They said, hey, you know, this is a crazy accusation and it's not true for X, Y, and Z.
00:31:36.060
And they went through every little defense they could.
00:31:38.060
But the problem was people inherently could recognize there was a big kernel of truth there.
00:31:43.480
And they knew Hillary Clinton was corrupt and it reinforced that.
00:31:47.120
With Joe Biden and Hunter Biden on the one-year anniversary, they just never talked about it.
00:31:54.480
They're saying Joe Biden is going to be drawn into this FBI probe, into his son, Hunter.
00:32:09.620
I'm saying the leadership is completely corrupt.
00:32:17.280
He says, you know, we're going to make sure that we get these domestic terrorists, a.k.a.
00:32:23.700
And then right after we find this out, we find out that his son and his son in law and his
00:32:36.580
And they are getting millions of dollars from these school boards.
00:32:42.500
And, you know, they're like, oh, no, it's just no, it's it is psychosocial issue testing.
00:32:58.900
When you look at what they what they actually say they're doing, they are they're checking.
00:33:12.080
I can't find the exact verbiage of it, but they're they're checking on the kids and their
00:33:16.560
welfare and their safety and what they're feeling and what their parents and their families are
00:33:25.420
I didn't think parents had anything to do with children.
00:33:34.480
They're also recommending, for instance, they're recommending the new Bill Ayers book.
00:33:44.860
And one of them is teaching when the world is on fire by Bill Ayers.
00:33:54.060
He says you as teachers should know that the system you'll be joining hates black and brown
00:33:59.380
I have evidence that the system is organized to miseducate these children, and it includes
00:34:07.060
the shameful lack of resources in forced racial segregation, dumbed down and Eurocentric
00:34:12.860
curriculum accompanied by a stifling top down pedagogy and arcane rules and routines that
00:34:20.040
result predictably in social shaming and widespread exclusions.
00:34:24.440
It's good to see as an author, he's moved on from bomb threat notes to books to books.
00:34:31.360
So they've gone on and they've put all of this in.
00:34:41.220
And he's the head of the Justice Department and says, we're going to go get the bad guys.
00:34:45.920
We're going to shut these people, these parents down.
00:34:49.560
And there's and there's no way Hunter Biden is is going to be prosecuted.
00:34:54.680
I mean, the media, they now know that all the stuff in that laptop is true.
00:35:00.460
How anybody who respects women can look at the stuff on that web on that laptop and say,
00:35:19.520
I think, you know, as conservatives with outrage, obviously, which is correct on this whole Merrick
00:35:24.220
Garland thing, but we're acting as if this is a governor doing this like, you know, OK,
00:35:28.640
Gavin Newsom put the state police against these these parents who are going up to their school
00:35:37.740
There is no connection whatsoever for the freaking FBI to be investigating school boards
00:35:49.520
What is the literal definition of why our government exists?
00:35:59.200
Governments are instituted among men to protect those rights of life, liberty and pursuit of
00:36:06.000
That's their number one job to protect our rights.
00:36:11.500
Are they doing that in any way, shape or form right now?
00:36:15.560
I mean, I was just going over something last night as I was writing some.
00:36:23.400
Every single one of them are being violated today.
00:36:31.720
And we're wondering why our our country feels the way it does.
00:36:36.800
When you get a Republican in, you feel like your rights are being taken away.
00:36:41.160
When you have a Democrat in the other half feels like their rights are being taken away
00:36:49.160
There's a special on the Glenn Beck Wednesday night special national divorce.
00:36:56.140
It's popping up everywhere and it's popping up on both sides.
00:37:00.560
The government is supposed to protect our rights.
00:37:10.060
Can the states band together and create a pocket of freedom in the shadow of tyranny?
00:37:24.400
We will answer both of those questions tonight and provide a roadmap to preserving what the
00:37:38.580
Only on Blaze TV, Blaze TV dot com slash Glenn.
00:37:55.040
You're now paying more for a used car because you can't get a new car.
00:37:59.100
You can't buy a car soon that will run on gasoline.
00:38:02.940
The left is promised that in their infinite wisdom that we'll soon be driving cars powered
00:38:08.200
by dreams and unicorn tears, and we can plug them into a never ending source of electricity.
00:38:22.300
If you're not covered, you freak out about it and you try to ignore it for a while.
00:38:29.060
Break down to the rental car, to the mechanic of your choice.
00:38:33.380
Car Shield will make your auto repair a smooth ride.
00:38:38.880
You can customize it to save you time, money and hassle.
00:38:42.320
I think you're going to really thank me in the days to come when your car breaks down.
00:38:52.360
You're not going to be on the hook to pay thousands.
00:38:54.600
Get coverage today and see why Car Shield cars go further.
00:39:14.360
I just want to tell you that Gavin Newsom just announced what we're doing here in California
00:39:25.180
What's happening in California, I don't think nature has ever seen anything like it.
00:39:30.340
He said we're more than we're more divided than ever before.
00:39:34.600
But as he signed a new bill into law on Sunday, he said, these things remind us of what we
00:39:42.440
And that law now bans all off-road gas-powered engines.
00:39:47.560
So no more ATVs, no more Rhinos or anything like that.
00:39:53.760
No, no more hedge clipping, gas-powered, no gas-powered blowers, no gas-powered generators,
00:40:14.220
I'll never understand the efforts to get rid of something that basically is responsible
00:40:23.780
There is a, the Moral Case for Fossil Fuels, great book, Alex Epstein.
00:40:28.800
It's worth a read because people so often look at this as the enemy.
00:40:32.020
It's the whole reason people enjoy America in this century.
00:40:37.600
Quite honestly, it's the whole reason why whales still exist as well.
00:40:43.960
This is going to affect, they say, over 50,000 small businesses will be crushed because of
00:40:52.340
And every home, I mean, if you got anything, any lawnmowers that are gas-powered,
00:41:06.260
This is an amazing group, two, two plus million members strong and growing.
00:41:13.420
It is the type of organization that is actually fighting for you.
00:41:20.560
It's the one you want to join if you're 50 or older.
00:41:23.000
It's a group you join because of the benefits, the insurance discounts, travel benefits, all
00:41:35.600
And unlike some of the other groups for people to join at 50 and older, these people are on
00:41:44.540
These people care about the Constitution and they are constantly fighting.
00:41:48.440
They're the ones that really helped and got all of their members involved in shutting
00:41:52.500
down HR1, which was the Nancy Pelosi bill to, you know, make sure that our elections are
00:41:59.940
Anyway, the benefits, the advocacy or their information that they keep you updated on, it is so well
00:42:16.420
Well, William Shatner at 90 years old, getting into the capsule with Bezos.
00:42:29.280
What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
00:43:06.480
One thing we all have to recognize now is that we are living in revolutionary times.
00:43:13.240
Unlike anything I've ever witnessed, Lincoln said a nation divided against itself cannot
00:43:25.540
Can we come back together or should we be talking seriously about a national divorce before
00:43:43.140
I'm going to be looking into this on all sides.
00:43:49.620
Eastern, what can the states do to band together and create a pocket of freedom in the shadow
00:44:02.600
But we also go to a guy who has got a great podcast.
00:44:07.800
He's a blaze podcast host for the conservative review.
00:44:12.220
He's been covering this and has an interesting take on it.
00:44:26.200
So William Shatner's in the capsule in the giant phallic symbol, and he's about to be
00:44:32.600
And don't worry if something happens, the new gay Superman can fly up and grab the giant
00:44:41.640
phallic symbol and bring it down to earth safely.
00:44:58.380
And that is not the gay Superman, but that he could actually fly and return the giant
00:45:06.080
That's the only part of what I just said that is not true.
00:45:12.440
I believe that, but we should clear, uh, Superman bisexual, right?
00:45:19.220
Well, you know, maybe this is on one of his, he's like, Whoa, what is that up in space?
00:45:24.320
That seems to be, maybe that's the plot line of this particular film.
00:45:30.700
Uh, let me talk to you a little bit about diet and exercising.
00:45:37.040
I want to talk to you about something yummy to eat.
00:45:40.580
If you are looking to lose weight, you're looking to be in shape, you're looking for a healthy
00:45:48.480
May I introduce you to built bar real chocolate, nine amazing flavors.
00:45:54.920
And then you get the limited time, uh, flavor as well.
00:45:59.240
You can try two of each of these nine different flavors.
00:46:03.620
Now taste comes first, but they also, you know, are low carb, low calorie, high protein
00:46:17.600
Get 15% off your next order by using the promo code built, uh, Beck 15 built.com promo code
00:46:25.520
You notice William Shatner is going up another white guy.
00:46:35.360
I don't see red Fox from Sanford and son going up.
00:46:38.820
Do you, that would be a, be an odd moment for red at this point.
00:46:45.480
What was the woman that he used to always say is I'm coming to see you.
00:46:50.860
Anyway, considering red Fox died in 1990, nobody knows it would be difficult.
00:46:55.520
For him to make an appearance on this phallic symbol.
00:47:04.420
Uh, he's from the podcast conservative review, which you should listen to, uh, and subscribe
00:47:10.400
and, uh, rate with five stars, I think is the appropriate number.
00:47:20.440
Well, it's great to be with you and I'll take five stars any day.
00:47:33.760
Do we need braver, I don't know, constitutional Americans?
00:47:42.260
How do you bridge the divide between people who think a man is a woman, a woman's a man,
00:47:50.780
If you don't wear a mask, you're a murderer, but I'll let murderers out of prison at the
00:47:55.060
same time using that very virus as the pretext.
00:47:58.220
Um, you don't have the right to have free unrestricted movement unless you do as we say
00:48:02.880
But if you crash our border, man, you could go to all corners of the country anytime you
00:48:15.560
King George never demanded we cover our mouths.
00:48:18.420
King George didn't have men in female bathrooms.
00:48:21.360
I mean, those, those, the issues were really very economic.
00:48:30.840
Um, it used to be politics was 10% of our life and the other 90, you know, we all have
00:48:38.020
We like the same sports teams and we can live together harmoniously.
00:48:42.340
Now, everything is political to the point of literally your life, even before liberty.
00:48:48.940
So we now have a scenario where they could force you to take experimental, um, therapies
00:48:57.120
that, you know, showed that they have a lot of problems, but you don't even have the right
00:49:06.500
So what I would argue is we already have a national divorce, except it's one sided.
00:49:13.460
So for example, you asked me to define what it looks like and I'll define what it looks
00:49:18.560
like literally a divorce, which doesn't mean you part ways.
00:49:21.840
You have certain amicable, uh, agreements when it comes to, uh, custody of the kids and
00:49:28.200
And so we'll have the military while social security won't be perfectly two different
00:49:32.680
But what I think we need to do is make the red States that we allegedly already supposedly
00:49:37.940
should have control over exactly like the blue States are.
00:49:41.620
And when Trump was president, they didn't tolerate anything.
00:49:46.780
Um, even something like immigration, which is very much within the purview of the federal
00:49:50.640
government, they harbored illegal alien sex offenders.
00:49:54.260
And they actually in New York criminalized the enforcement and, and a cooperation and transmitting
00:50:04.180
So my point is, there is no reason we can't go in the red States where we have four to
00:50:11.060
one, five to one majorities and some of them in the legislative bodies and say, this is
00:50:15.760
immoral, illogical, illegal, it's unconstitutional.
00:50:20.620
And frankly, if we ever get the presidency back, that is what the blue States have already done
00:50:27.620
I, I mean, this is, it goes back down to state power.
00:50:30.200
I don't care what you do in California, but you're not going to charge me for it.
00:50:37.980
Um, if that's what you want to do, then that's fine, but don't bring it to my state.
00:50:43.360
Um, and I, I don't know why we are not defending the constitution.
00:50:47.360
We're arguing about all of these crazy things that are, that, that have nothing to do with
00:50:54.960
the constitution and in many ways are in violation of the constitution.
00:51:00.200
We should, I mean, how many, I I'd like to know really, honestly, I, I, I really think
00:51:05.260
we should begin conversations with people, um, like this.
00:51:12.000
Is there anything in the bill of rights that you disagree with?
00:51:15.020
If they say, yeah, I disagree with a lot of them, you know, you're dealing with if they
00:51:23.260
Well, we can talk about the second amendment later.
00:51:24.940
Let's just start talking politics now and then, and the, and the policies, as soon as
00:51:30.440
they start talking about the policies, you say, I thought you weren't, I thought you weren't
00:51:34.100
against the bill of rights because I haven't moved.
00:51:36.640
They have, they no longer believe in the bill of rights and you can't come together if you
00:51:42.460
don't believe in the most important foundational document in our country.
00:51:48.280
And really the most important right as defined by Blackstone is to walk in locomotion status
00:51:56.460
quo without government, uh, acting against your body affirmatively in any way.
00:52:02.140
Um, and, and the left always championed bodily autonomy in the courts really for a hundred,
00:52:07.180
almost a hundred years, um, that you have the right to kill a baby.
00:52:10.320
You have the right to a positive benefit to, to add, to get access to, uh, assisted, uh,
00:52:17.480
physician and assisted suicide, all these cases we had.
00:52:20.540
And now suddenly you can't even have, don't tase me, bro.
00:52:23.920
Hey, look, you know, you got your vaccine, you got your mask, you can do what you want.
00:52:28.460
And now you have the ACLU as the lead plaintiff in South Carolina, not only not defending your
00:52:33.360
right to breathe in school, but actually defending your alleged right to force the other guy not
00:52:42.280
We're not demanding everyone take, you know, 5,000 IUs of vitamin D and, and ivermectin
00:52:47.680
prophylactically, which actually would probably, uh, stop the spread even more.
00:52:55.520
You could do it, but they, they won't allow it.
00:53:00.560
It's more like an abusive husband who has violated the social, that, that, that compact.
00:53:05.840
And we just have to evacuate ourselves from it.
00:53:09.080
And again, Madison's design has given us that, um, that design.
00:53:14.280
I don't want to hear about, oh, we'll win back Congress or something with a narrow rhino
00:53:19.520
Republicans have 19 states where they not only have the trifecta, but they have it with
00:53:28.840
There's a 16 year old girl we're all talking about in Wyoming who was handcuffed for not
00:53:35.780
Now, Glenn, all I'm asking is that in a state like Wyoming, where there's a 28 to two GOP
00:53:43.280
majority in the Senate, there's two Democrats there that we could abide by and live by the
00:53:50.380
same degree of post-constitutional liberty that we had on February, 2020.
00:54:06.120
Why is it that Wyoming of all places doesn't stand up?
00:54:10.800
Well, you know, let me give you an example of what we just dealt with in Arkansas, similar
00:54:16.060
We couldn't even get a compromise bill immediately passed to allow an opt out for weekly PCR
00:54:23.260
That was New York's line in the sand a month ago.
00:54:27.360
So we can't even hold the line that New York was pushing a month ago or two months ago.
00:54:31.700
And that's because you look at a small state like Arkansas, overwhelmingly people voted for
00:54:37.780
But at the end of the day, it's not Republican and Democrat, conservative, liberal, right
00:54:42.720
It's one oligarchy, this corporate government monopoly.
00:54:56.620
They get money from big pharma, from the Chamber of Commerce.
00:55:07.760
But when it comes to the issues that matter most to our lives, when they matter, at the
00:55:14.060
time they matter, look carefully and you'll see both parties are awfully close to each
00:55:24.340
The second line in the second paragraph of the Declaration of Independence, after the
00:55:29.220
life, liberty, pursuit of happiness, says that to secure these rights, governments are
00:55:33.920
instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.
00:55:40.280
That when any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people
00:55:46.760
to alter or abolish and institute a new government, laying its foundations on such principles and
00:55:53.520
organizing its powers in such a form as to them shall seem most likely to affect their
00:56:00.040
Prudence indeed will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for
00:56:06.920
And accordingly, all experience has shown that mankind are more disposed to suffer while
00:56:14.500
evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.
00:56:20.760
So it says here it explains human nature that most of us are silent because it's still OK.
00:56:29.560
And I think that changes once the economy really is hit.
00:56:34.300
I think once people start to realize, wait a minute, I I I'm losing my job.
00:56:42.960
And I think it's probably too late by that point.
00:56:47.000
Well, I mean, this is why John Adams always said you have to nip the shoots of arbitrary power
00:56:52.780
You know, they got a bad rap at the time, the Patriots, because it really wasn't that
00:57:00.460
But they understood that if you wait until it is a big deal, it's too late.
00:57:06.700
I'll never forget a couple of years ago, actually, right before covid, our mutual friend and
00:57:12.160
colleague Steve Bates and I did a show together and we talked about just retiring.
00:57:16.160
I said, look, I'm always happier when I just tune it out, go on vacation and it doesn't
00:57:27.040
They control every aspect of our lives and our health, our what we do with our bodies.
00:57:36.000
The emails I'm getting from show listeners that they can't get proper treatment, people
00:57:40.320
that got vaccinated and they get very sick and we have to find all sorts of ways to get
00:57:44.920
them treatment in a first world country like America.
00:57:47.960
This is something that I think we can't live through.
00:57:50.620
And Glenn, if if we're just going to relegate those words of the declaration to some sort
00:57:56.540
of museum, some mosaic of history, then they're just hollow.
00:58:04.820
And I think a lot of people forget the the Revolutionary War was catalyzed really by the
00:58:12.760
It was the state legislatures that formed those committees of correspondence.
00:58:17.340
I think we need to make state legislatures great again.
00:58:22.720
And, you know, we'll simply have red states that will behave the same way the blue states
00:58:26.460
behave and we'll have a degree of self-sorting.
00:58:36.260
It's important that you listen to Daniel Horowitz.
00:58:38.200
He's really, really smart and really buttoned up on these issues.
00:58:49.200
By the way, this is what we're talking about tonight at 9 p.m.
00:58:58.180
We're going to be talking about all of the different scenarios and none of them involve
00:59:30.140
So at work, all of it, all of the help that I've had gone.
00:59:38.980
I truly believe that relief factor allows me to continue to work every single day.
00:59:43.580
I've recommended to at least 50 other people so far.
00:59:49.360
When you have something that works to help your body fight off aches and pains truly works.
00:59:59.160
I'm exactly the same way in my own private life.
01:00:02.080
I recommend relief factor to people who are hurting just like I do here on the air.
01:00:08.860
70% of the people who try relief factor go on to buy more relief factor.
01:00:13.340
Relief factor dot com call 1-800-583-84 relief factor dot com 1-800-583-84 10 seconds station
01:00:25.880
By the way, the show is 9 p.m. tonight, only on Blaze TV.
01:00:43.360
I don't know if you saw the press conference yesterday with Nancy Pelosi, but she and the
01:00:50.140
president have let everybody in America know that she and the other sophisticated elite
01:01:00.780
I mean, they have much more worldly experience than you do much more knowledge than you do.
01:01:04.880
Remember, it was the sophisticated friends of Barack Obama who, you know, are educated.
01:01:15.920
They understand these complex issues and have the subtle reflections and discussions that
01:01:20.940
are necessary to save you from your simplistic thoughts and actions.
01:01:25.440
They think they actually know you better than you know yourself because they're advanced
01:01:34.360
I mean, you still cling to your God and your guns.
01:01:36.900
And anyone who holds on to the idea of God must not be able to think for him or herself.
01:01:42.840
So they've come up with an infrastructure bill.
01:01:45.740
And it's I want to quote, it will be a transformative agenda for the children, end quote.
01:01:58.720
Do you even know what's in this infrastructure bill?
01:02:01.540
Because it's going to affect your children, whether you know it or not.
01:02:06.520
Nancy Pelosi says there's overwhelming support for this infrastructure bill.
01:02:10.260
And that's how they look at you on every issue.
01:02:12.200
They know better than you, even if you're not for it.
01:02:21.140
They believe that all Americans support the infrastructure bill just because if they don't,
01:02:29.520
But they also believe, whether you know it or not, that all white Americans are racist,
01:02:37.900
Segregation is good, but diversity of thought is bad.
01:02:50.840
The right to your life, your liberty, your property, your food, your health all come
01:02:59.420
Even when he changes his mind or lies, it's still the truth.
01:03:05.460
Protest with looting, destruction and destroying a property and killing.
01:03:18.900
Sticks and stones don't cause damage, but words do.
01:03:35.360
We have to be sure of our convictions and our principles and hold steadfast while the world
01:03:42.920
They are chipping away at our foundations as both a nation and now individuals.
01:03:47.940
And we have to continue to strengthen our resolve, help each other.
01:03:53.620
Let them call us foolish, basic and unsophisticated, because we know who we are.
01:03:59.880
We know what's true, because we remember those things that are self-evident.
01:04:09.180
American Financing NMLS 182334 www.nmlsconsumeraccess.org
01:04:15.520
So Angie wrote into the show a couple of weeks ago to tell us her experience with American
01:04:19.680
She said she called them after hearing me talk about them on the radio.
01:04:23.260
She said a lot of people take 10 minutes out of their day to give them a call.
01:04:28.840
She wasn't convinced that those 10 minutes would go as smoothly as I said it would, that
01:05:01.800
I'll show you in a few minutes how dramatically it is changing, even for the banking sector.
01:05:11.520
American Financing, 800-906-2440 or AmericanFinancing.net.
01:05:22.580
More on that tonight with Glenn TV on blazetv.com slash Glenn.
01:05:26.620
That airs right after a brand new Stew Does America.
01:05:43.300
Coming up in just a few minutes, we have the pilots union leader from Southwest Airlines.
01:05:51.220
He's going to be joining me in studio here in about 25 minutes.
01:05:56.960
This is Nancy Pelosi lecturing reporters yesterday.
01:06:01.880
Our latest CBS News poll shows that only about 10% of Americans describe themselves as knowing a lot of specific things that are in the reconciliation package and that the majority don't know anything at all.
01:06:15.320
So do you think you need to do a better job at messaging and going forward?
01:06:19.440
How do you sell this if ultimately you have to carry that?
01:06:21.960
Well, I think you all could do a better job of selling it, to be very frank with you, because every time I come here, I go through the list.
01:06:28.120
Family medical leave, climate, the issues that are in there.
01:06:34.140
It is hard to break through when you have such a comprehensive package.
01:06:40.660
So difficult to break through when you control the entire government and all of the media.
01:06:53.340
These are intended and they are intended to bring you to a reset, the great reset.
01:07:05.220
When do you go downstairs into the scary basement to look at the fuse box?
01:07:14.040
When there's been a disruption in power, right?
01:07:19.840
When do you push the reset button on your computer when everything is fine or just a little glitchy?
01:07:30.220
And you just keep going until it completely freezes up and you have no other option but to reset.
01:07:37.000
So the things that this government, quote, is failing in are not failings.
01:07:48.280
One more example of Biden failing at basic governing.
01:08:05.180
Well, I'll hear from the pilots union here in just a few minutes.
01:08:09.460
But does anybody actually believe that the mandate plays no role in that?
01:08:15.560
CNN says Americans won't be able to go back to shopping like in the before times.
01:08:27.920
health care force is short half a million workers.
01:08:31.120
Now, a main hospital just closed its NICU because of staffing shortages due to vaccine mandate.
01:08:39.620
Do you see what these all have in common so far?
01:08:44.120
Cities are having to boost bus budgets for cops after defund the police initiatives result in more crime.
01:08:51.740
Walgreens closes five more San Francisco locations due to theft.
01:08:57.040
This is happening in big cities where they have said we're not going to prosecute anybody for shoplifting.
01:09:04.980
So, people are just going in and they're just wiping these stores clean because police can't do anything about it.
01:09:22.640
Believe they need, what is it, a hundred and...
01:09:29.220
I think they need about 1,600 officers and they can't figure out why officers don't want to work in Chicago.
01:09:43.720
California moved one step closer to ending reliance on fossil fuels.
01:09:48.520
What they did is they banned all off-road gasoline engines.
01:09:57.220
So, you know, if you have a leaf blower, if your lawn service is cutting the lawn, using a lawn mower, can't be gasoline, has to be electric.
01:10:12.020
50,000 businesses are going to be affected by this.
01:10:15.380
And it's only a matter of time before everyone has to do this.
01:10:23.180
The president wants to use the pandemic to make fundamental changes in our economy.
01:10:33.100
Did you vote for a fundamental change in our economy?
01:10:39.620
He feels coming out of the pandemic, it is exactly the time to make fundamental change in our economy.
01:10:55.540
All kinds of stuff that goes against the Constitution.
01:10:58.960
Janet Yellen said the $600 IRS reporting requirement is necessary because there's a lot of tax fraud and cheating that's going on.
01:11:15.760
Do you know how much it costs to fill my truck now at the gas station?
01:11:23.420
I can do that easily, easily in a month, six times.
01:11:47.820
That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen.
01:11:51.020
So now you're going after, you know, the post office worker, the teacher, the people who are the heroes in our society.
01:12:03.480
You're going after the people that have $50,000 to $60,000.
01:12:11.580
If you have a large family, can you spend $600 at the grocery store?
01:12:16.040
So now you need to be spied upon by the IRS because your transactions are suspicious.
01:12:36.760
This infrastructure bill cannot pass because it is infrastructure.
01:12:46.620
So when they power everything down because everything is gridlock and you are out in the streets going,
01:12:54.200
there's no food that I can afford at the grocery store.
01:13:18.080
And the FBI is now interviewing all of the parents that were there at the school board meeting.
01:13:31.820
My oil or my gas bill to heat my house is two and a half times what it was before the election.
01:13:45.780
When all of that happens, when the court system doesn't work, when the police can't work, when crime is out of control, when you can't afford your groceries,
01:14:00.760
when you can't afford your house, when the banks are just making all kinds of money, when all of these things are happening.
01:14:31.300
This is why tonight's TV show is so important, because the answer really is local, local, local.
01:14:38.980
When the FBI said that they were going to look into terrorists, do you know why they did that, right?
01:14:51.640
Well, Loudoun County wasn't scared off last night.
01:15:03.880
Even if you live in a good town where your school board is on your side, you need to be there.
01:15:12.640
Because the school board association is watching.
01:15:25.360
These people will do anything, anything to win.
01:15:40.520
The only thing that frightens them is you waking up and standing up.
01:15:50.160
You know, Jonah Goldberg tweeted me the other day.
01:15:52.540
And he said, when I said, I think they've just started another tea party.
01:15:56.560
And he said, ooh, like the first one was so effective.
01:16:10.520
There's still lessons to learn, though, of how if we're going to do something else like that, it needs to be done and hopefully have longer legs than this one.
01:16:20.820
We know that it's going to be taken over by by hook and by crooks in the Republican Party.
01:16:41.320
You should be allowed to go in and question the school board peacefully.
01:16:45.920
First Amendment, do you believe that everybody has a right to speak their mind out in open and disagree with with, you know, Fauci or anybody else?
01:16:57.840
Do you believe that people who disagree with us have a right to publish and to be seen and be heard or should they be canceled?
01:17:07.640
Do you believe I have a right to protect myself, especially when the government is firing all the cops and they they're saying places like Austin, Texas, unless somebody has you, you know, in a chokehold with a gun.
01:17:29.140
Do you believe that the the IRS should be into my bank watching every transaction of six hundred dollars or more?
01:17:42.700
No, that's a violation of the Fourth Amendment.
01:17:48.420
You just need to start asking people, do you believe in the Bill of Rights?
01:17:55.640
If you don't, I can't talk to you because there's the Gulf is too far.
01:18:10.240
If you can't agree with me on the Bill of Rights, then I'm not the enemy of America.
01:18:31.860
I don't know if you've seen this, but I was following a Hyundai back home yesterday and I thought, man, that car is worth a fortune right now.
01:18:49.540
And if your car is out of warranty, you got to get it fixed.
01:19:01.580
CarShield will take care of all of the covered repairs and you can you can create your own coverage so you know exactly what it is.
01:19:13.760
And they will save you from paying the huge dollars when your car needs to be fixed.
01:19:26.940
They'll tow your car in, bring it to the shop that you want, even the dealership if you want to make sure that it has the right exact parts.
01:19:35.280
You're not on the hook to pay thousands of dollars.
01:19:39.160
You're going to need your car to go as long as it possibly can.
01:20:03.080
William Shatner was on the ground and he is now in space.
01:20:07.160
It's pretty amazing when you think about it that way.
01:20:44.340
And while we don't have Apogee, I can just imagine Jackie.
01:20:54.940
Is it possible that Captain Kirk is like just crapped himself and is like,
01:21:09.880
You should have took Tony Orlando or maybe some of the Don.
01:21:21.460
Sometimes you get to that point where you're in the middle of doing something crazy like
01:21:34.600
Remember what you had to be to be an astronaut.
01:21:39.240
Thank you again, everybody, for joining us live from West Ham.
01:21:42.060
You could show us some of the things that are happening on inside the capsule, but no,
01:21:55.820
What an amazing time we live in where people, you know, like companies like Amazon can care
01:22:05.520
They can just burn up all that, all that energy and fuel and CO2 to give William Shatner a
01:22:18.760
But, you know, if a celebrity wants to go to space, obviously, that's fine.
01:22:22.740
Or if people are paying me, I mean, I've got to do that.
01:22:29.640
I have to tell you that you can see by Amazon what they're doing today by putting William
01:22:39.420
You're not putting him up into space, you know, for any other reason other than it will
01:22:45.480
But we have got to get into the culture right now.
01:22:49.680
An amazing screenwriter and friend of mine, Andrew Clavin, is working to get the Covenant,
01:22:56.700
a multi-season TV series adaptation of the stories of the Old Testament into our culture.
01:23:05.240
DeMille stuff where it was actual, where you're not coming in and having Hollywood go, you know,
01:23:11.780
Well, excuse me, rock people to get it into the culture for multi-season TV, it's expensive
01:23:19.500
and they're looking for people that just want to make an investment in the project.
01:23:24.000
You can go to kotv.com slash back, it's spelled C-A-Y-O-T-V.com slash back, kotv.com slash back.
01:23:34.180
Look up the Covenant, see what it is, and if you'd like to help, do everything you can to bring it back
01:23:54.000
What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
01:24:17.860
Southwest Airlines was a mess over the weekend, and now the news about it is a mess.
01:24:35.800
Is this because all of the pilots and everybody, they're tired because of what's been going on
01:24:43.260
because of COVID, what is really happening, and what are the pilots looking for?
01:24:52.780
He is the president of Southwest Airlines, the Pilot Association.
01:24:57.120
He's the union guy, and he's in studio with me, and he just told me, have at it.
01:25:11.880
I've been dealing with Blinds.com for, gosh, Stu, how many years?
01:25:18.040
They are the most professional, best place for window coverings out there.
01:25:25.620
In the 1990s, do you remember that online experience, AOL?
01:25:32.260
When it took you a long time to look at pictures of things.
01:25:35.720
That's why they are so good, and they're the number one window treatment business in
01:25:41.860
the world online because they honed it, and they've been going now for, what, 25 years.
01:25:50.580
You can get advice from their professional design consultation and consultants for free.
01:25:56.060
After you pick out what you want, you can either do it all yourself, or you can have them handle
01:26:00.800
the measuring and installation from start to finish.
01:26:03.520
If you want to redo your window treatments, now is the time at Blinds.com.
01:26:26.720
The first round of flight cancellations on Saturday at Southwest Airlines came the day
01:26:31.940
after the Southwest Airline Pilot Association filed a request in federal court to block a
01:26:39.660
So, you know, and we'll get this information here in a second, it doesn't appear that the
01:26:48.100
They just want it to happen after they've negotiated their contract.
01:26:52.860
Yesterday, the CEO, Gary Kelly, told CNBC, I've never been in favor of corporations imposing
01:27:01.720
However, they're complying with Biden's vaccine mandate, even though there isn't one yet.
01:27:07.560
The objective here, obviously, is to improve health and safety and not for people to lose
01:27:19.660
And to talk to us about this is Captain Casey Murray, who is the head of the Pilots Association,
01:27:32.720
I was shocked when you guys said yes to our invitation.
01:27:36.740
Well, we're out there, you know, we're trying to get the word out, trying to clear up some
01:27:42.000
And I'm proud of our pilots, so I want to speak for them.
01:27:48.920
Well, since you brought up the TRO that we filed, we filed that on Friday.
01:27:55.680
We also have a status quo lawsuit that we've been forced to file.
01:27:59.580
Well, we've amended that to sort of add on this aspect as well to show continuing status
01:28:05.220
quo violations while we are negotiating our contract.
01:28:09.400
Well, the RLA, Railway Labor Act, that we work under and are contracted under requires
01:28:17.080
the company, while we're in negotiations, can't make unilateral changes while we're negotiating.
01:28:27.680
It is kind of the hallmark of what SWAPA and Southwest do, but we've seen that kind of fail
01:28:34.800
Because of COVID, they are just wholesale changing some really important things that you
01:28:43.260
And if I'm reading this right, you're saying, hey, look, we've done a lot here.
01:28:50.420
And all we've been asking for, and this is specifically what the TRO is about, is, hey,
01:28:56.960
we need to sit down and have discussions around this.
01:28:59.640
Our peers, Delta, American United, FedEx, UPS, they all have had agreements in place for
01:29:08.020
six and at times 10 months that addressed a lot of our concerns.
01:29:16.280
Well, pilots, one of the main concerns is pilots are required to carry a medical certificate.
01:29:23.320
Every six months, we go in, have a full battery of tests, and every six months, I mean, there's
01:29:31.960
So, with our pilot's license, we also have a medical certificate.
01:29:35.900
So, a lot of our pilots and our peers' pilots want to know and have answered, how's the company
01:29:42.600
going to handle any sort of either long-term issues that come from the vaccines, because
01:29:55.480
And then, you know, even shorter term, what's going to happen when, if I have a reaction
01:30:03.840
And so, now it's being required, mandated, and we need these questions answered, and our
01:30:09.460
peers have done it, and we see vaccination rates from 90% and higher.
01:30:14.160
And then, you look at United, 99.9% of their pilots are vaccinated.
01:30:19.180
We don't know, and the company hasn't shared with us what our vaccination rate is.
01:30:25.020
It is much lower than that, and I would venture to say probably half that.
01:30:30.560
And a lot of that has to do with our pilots' trepidation with not having a lot of these
01:30:35.340
questions answered, and that's all we're trying to do is get them to the table.
01:30:38.600
I mean, APA at American, their pilots' union, has over 11 different MOUs, memorandums of
01:30:50.620
And we see what it does to the vaccination rates.
01:30:55.240
So, when I see pictures of pilots, because they're going, there's lots of them.
01:31:02.180
Here's one, a Don't Tread on Me flag, hanging out of the window of a Southwest jet, out of
01:31:11.640
Show, do you have the, okay, there's all kinds of pictures of Southwest pilots out online as
01:31:25.400
Do you have any idea how many of your pilots are going to probably end up getting fired?
01:31:32.220
I would say that until a lot of these questions get answered, we really don't know.
01:31:42.960
There are those that feel very strongly that the government mandate crosses and steps on
01:31:58.940
But the flip side is, they also don't want to go into being mandated for a vaccine where
01:32:07.040
their questions as to where their career and where their families stand and their family's
01:32:13.680
They have to be able to make decisions using some concrete data, and we're still waiting
01:32:23.560
And by data, I mean having some of these questions answered.
01:32:27.240
So, what is, you're just, because I don't think I heard that yesterday from the CEO.
01:32:35.320
I don't think I heard him address these concerns.
01:32:40.580
It's very clear, just, and I brought this up twice already.
01:32:46.120
Look at where our peers' vaccination rates are.
01:32:48.440
Look at what they have done proactively to address this.
01:32:52.920
Southwest, we have tried for six months to force them to sit down and have discussions
01:33:00.060
We even went so far as forcing a letter of agreement during negotiations across the table
01:33:06.160
because they weren't interested in having the discussions.
01:33:11.760
We still have not sat down and had real discussions.
01:33:15.440
We did have a meeting on Monday that was really, I would say, forced by the TRO, even
01:33:22.020
But, I mean, I think Southwest felt, okay, we have to do something.
01:33:24.740
And we presented them with dozens of questions, and we're still waiting answers.
01:33:28.980
We're a week and a half past when the federal contractor mandate came out, and we're rapidly
01:33:50.660
But when your company tells you you will or you will be terminated, there is a conscious
01:33:59.200
So many people don't have a union, and a lot of people, I am, I'm glad I'm not in a union.
01:34:08.400
I think unions are really important when companies get out of control.
01:34:14.580
And in the same way, I think when unions get out of control, they're just as bad as the
01:34:24.640
But this, I mean, I'm wondering, if a union, if you're working as a pilot, and you don't
01:34:31.900
want the vaccine, and you're going to get fired for it, are you going to defend those
01:34:44.120
We will defend them if that's what it comes to.
01:34:46.740
But it is our job in representing them to provide them with as much information and force the
01:34:52.440
company to come and get these questions answered.
01:34:56.640
So what would that mean if you, after you get the questions, and because you guys aren't,
01:35:09.380
Not even with more information, you're against it.
01:35:17.900
It's a very personal decision that has to be made.
01:35:22.180
And so we believe that by providing these answers, and the company providing these answers,
01:35:30.420
I mean, there are so many things, even outside of the medical.
01:35:34.080
I mean, we still haven't had questions as to who's making the decisions on these exemptions.
01:35:42.740
How's the information going to be protected in the HIPAA environment at the company?
01:35:51.740
Like the original mandate that Biden put out, even before this contractor issue, there was an alternative means of compliance.
01:36:14.920
And those pilots now, say they recover this week.
01:36:23.740
So, so many questions that we don't have answers to, and our pilots don't have answers to, and our pilots can't make decisions.
01:36:31.720
Our pilots look at all the available information and then make the decision.
01:36:39.360
Our peers address this proactively and look at where they're at.
01:36:42.320
So, what is Governor Abbott's ruling or his executive order here in Texas where no company has to follow that?
01:36:56.220
Well, that's part of the issue as well for us, not having the ability to sit down and have these discussions with our company.
01:37:05.540
And then in the midst of looking and seeing how that is going to affect our pilots, Gary Kelly comes out yesterday and says that he's not going to abide by that, that he's going to abide by Biden's mandate.
01:37:23.580
I know they did send something over to OSHA supposedly over the past 24 hours or so, but certainly nothing's official yet.
01:37:30.440
And it does seem like it's something to intimidate these companies to just go along with it before there's even a rule written down.
01:37:37.840
There's a lot of, I think there's a lot of people that are hoping somebody takes a stand because the little guy is taking a stand and getting squashed.
01:37:50.620
And the government is just telling them what they can and can't do.
01:37:53.780
And they are, I mean, I think there was a lot of hope, at least there was with me.
01:37:58.420
When I saw you guys, you know, have your difficulties this weekend, I was hoping that it was the pilots stepping out and saying, no, we're not going to do it.
01:38:10.740
You know, as you said, many have already had COVID.
01:38:19.460
I don't know why this is the exception to something that we know about the human body.
01:38:24.440
Um, and I have no problem with the vaccine, but I know I don't really give a flying crap.
01:38:31.820
What the federal government says this is unconstitutional.
01:38:35.100
And there, I think there's a lot of people hoping that you were, you were, uh, standing up for that, or at least a few pilots were standing up for that.
01:38:45.220
I think earlier, when I answered that question, we are against the mandate and we are not anti-vaccine, but, but our pilots are in a unique position.
01:38:54.080
Um, unlike the rest of the population, we have to maintain a medical and there's a lot of unanswered questions.
01:38:59.400
And a lot of those questions can, and a lot of those fears can be allayed by, by how is our insurance going to be handled?
01:39:06.820
And, and, and we carry a loss of license insurance as well as an LTD and STD.
01:39:11.780
So the long, uh, long-term disability and short-term disability, we also carry loss of license specifically for our medical.
01:39:17.880
So if we lose our medical, we have some, at least income insurance, um, when we can no longer fly.
01:39:25.060
They really need to come up with a better abbreviation for STD.
01:39:30.080
It's just not a good, uh, all right, hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on just a second.
01:39:38.060
The, uh, the labor leader for the, uh, Southwest Airlines pilots, uh, on with us.
01:39:43.340
Um, do you know what's as dangerous as Congress and the Biden administration pushing forward the Build Back Better plan and paving the way for us to fully enter the Great Reset?
01:39:55.060
Is the number of people that are actually falling for it and what it's going to mean to our dollar?
01:40:01.240
You know, when, when you have the government saying you're never going to be able to go back to the way life was, and they're talking about the variety of things on shelves and the economy.
01:40:15.640
When did we start having such a bleak look at what this country is capable of?
01:40:20.460
Uh, the lack of fiscal responsibility and the new idea of, uh, modern monetary theory, which we are operating under, means that your dollar is going to become worth less and less.
01:40:36.240
Prepare, prepare your family, prepare for impact.
01:40:39.960
Call Goldline today and find out how you can protect your portfolio from the excessive printing of our U.S. dollar by getting gold or silver.
01:41:00.600
We're with the president of Southwest Airlines Pilots Association.
01:41:14.740
His name is Captain Casey Murray, and we're talking about the Southwest Airlines vaccine mandates and the trouble that they had over the weekend.
01:41:22.960
So you mentioned the medical certification you need to have every six months.
01:41:28.020
So they're requiring you to upkeep some level, what does that mean exactly?
01:41:35.100
So, uh, um, uh, we have certain classes of medicals.
01:41:39.420
Um, our pilots have to maintain a first or second class, whether you're a captain or first officer.
01:41:44.460
And, and so, um, it's, um, you know, any type of heart issue, any type of high blood pressure, uh, depression, um, uh, diabetes.
01:41:53.180
I mean, any of those things can, can, can kill your career.
01:41:56.440
And, um, so, so would they argue though, that you, every six months you have to do this anyway?
01:42:01.840
Why is COVID-19 we're in the middle of a pandemic?
01:42:04.640
Why wouldn't you have to maintain, uh, the vaccination status?
01:42:08.400
Well, I think that, that because of some of the unknowns with long-term issues with the virus, we've also seen some shorter terms, uh, myocarditis.
01:42:20.620
And, and, and it's, it's a low number, but, but that can be a disqualifying, um, event for a pilot.
01:42:26.320
And so, so back to, uh, how, how is the, our loss of license plan is company administered.
01:42:35.580
So you, and you, and you're saying that, what would actually happen with the cancellations?
01:42:42.040
Cause I've heard, I've heard, you know, that what Glenn was saying, you know, that there was some sort of sick out situation.
01:42:57.320
So we've kind of looked back over the weekend to see exactly what occurred.
01:43:01.100
And looking at our pilots performance, um, I'm very proud of them.
01:43:05.820
Um, our pilot sick rates were right in line with where they were this summer during the same sort of long-term meltdown that Southwest had.
01:43:12.800
Um, looking at, uh, our pilots are the most productive in the industry.
01:43:16.420
Uh, that means they do a lot of work on their off time.
01:43:24.440
And, um, and so our, so looking at our pilot pickup rates, they're working on off days, those things.
01:43:32.380
So, so those two together, um, sort of address where our pilots were.
01:43:42.760
Well, um, Southwest works in a very dynamic environment as do our peers.
01:43:50.520
That's just, there's nobody else that was correct.
01:43:52.700
So, um, Southwest does operate in a completely different environment, meaning, meaning our network.
01:44:01.340
Our network is completely different than everyone else's.
01:44:09.300
Delta shuts down a push of airplanes, meaning all the ones coming in or out.
01:44:13.360
And, and when the thunderstorms push through, they're right back on.
01:44:16.940
They might've canceled flights, but they're right back on.
01:44:23.860
And, and so when, when someone gets sick, when an airplane breaks, when there's weather, then, then there is a domino effect that is, that is more difficult at Southwest to, to recover from.
01:44:34.720
Now, that being said, um, I feel very strongly that we've seen this happen for the past two years.
01:44:42.420
We've seen sort of these events happening and take four or five days to recover this weekend as a, okay, hang on.
01:44:49.840
I want to continue this, um, uh, because I, I think I understand what you're saying.
01:44:57.200
And it is a breakdown of just because of the COVID virus, uh, and, uh, and what you've been going through.
01:45:05.360
But I want you to finish explaining that here in just a minute.
01:45:22.340
We have to stop doing business with companies that are working against us.
01:45:26.540
And there are many companies, for instance, uh, you have Verizon that you might have great cell service with their great company, but, um, they're investing in planned parenthood.
01:45:41.040
Uh, they also invest in things, uh, that curb your freedom of speech.
01:45:54.020
Um, I don't think they'd probably have a lot of liberals joining because they take their money and they invested in the bill of rights and they fight for the things that we believe in.
01:46:04.660
Start doing business with companies that, um, are not fighting against you.
01:46:16.920
It's about half the price and they have special discounts for veterans and first responders.
01:46:22.000
And you can get free activation with the offer code back today.
01:46:31.140
Or you can call them now at nine seven two Patriot.
01:46:38.480
The promo code is Glenn for 10 bucks off your subscription to blaze TV.
01:46:50.580
He is the president of Southwest airlines pilot association.
01:46:53.400
And, uh, he is with us to talk about the, uh, the vaccine mandates, which the union is against.
01:47:00.620
Um, but they are trying to work with Southwest on, on getting some information.
01:47:08.760
He, you just said that, um, it was not a sick out.
01:47:15.560
Um, and you said that you're, you're, you structure things differently.
01:47:26.040
We have some larger stations, but it's generally point to point.
01:47:29.400
And so then what exactly happened then was this, well, there was an issue, uh, in Florida
01:47:36.280
and, and, and so that affected us and, and that caused sort of an increasing domino effect.
01:47:42.020
What I have been asking for, um, and what our association has identified for four years
01:47:47.320
is, is, and, and what we're asking Southwest is to make a proactive statement of what you're
01:47:51.680
going to be doing to make sure this doesn't happen again.
01:47:56.420
We've offered many different solutions scheduling wise, and that's what we see is, is sort of
01:48:01.140
inefficiencies in, in the scheduling processes as well as, as, as not complete it infrastructure
01:48:09.600
These, I mean, the algorithms that must run the airlines, I mean, is it a different kind
01:48:20.840
Um, you know, we have, um, lots of airplanes going into lots of cities.
01:48:26.420
Um, Delta, American United do too, but they all end up, um, back in their homes.
01:48:44.280
I don't know if he's one of your pilots or not.
01:48:51.000
I've been an airline pilot for 18 years and now I'm facing an ultimatum, not a choice,
01:48:59.140
I'm being told in order to continue my career as an airline pilot, I must be vaccinated,
01:49:03.680
which really means I have to choose between putting food on the table for my family and
01:49:09.140
Whether you believe in vaccination is the right thing to do or not, the situation goes far
01:49:15.160
We, the American people have fought for freedom for 257 years.
01:49:18.900
We go around the world, spreading ideas of freedom and democracy.
01:49:22.660
We help other countries and people fight for their freedoms while ours are being stripped
01:49:29.080
You may think being forced to wear a mask or get a vaccination is insignificant, but when
01:49:35.480
you begin to compile mandate after mandate and loss of freedom after freedom, it becomes
01:49:43.220
As each thing is taken away, we face what is known as the shifting baseline syndrome.
01:49:49.120
This syndrome changes our idea of a new and acceptable normal.
01:49:53.620
Soon, we will not remember what it was like to have the freedoms we once did.
01:49:58.200
Our children and our grandchildren will experience less freedom, and they won't have the privilege
01:50:04.060
or the pleasure to enjoy the same choices our parents had or that we have.
01:50:10.340
If we give into these mandates and we do not stand up for our freedom of choice, we dishonor
01:50:16.140
every armed service person over the last 257 years.
01:50:20.460
A disservice to the people who have fought and bled for the very freedoms we enjoy.
01:50:25.580
Whether you believe in vaccination or not, I'm standing up for your freedom of choice.
01:50:31.440
You may support the vaccine mandates because they fall in line with your current beliefs.
01:50:36.320
But if we let this happen now, there will be a day when what you're told to do will not
01:50:43.640
If we do not stand together and fight back in one voice, soon we could be told where to
01:50:50.180
live, what job we will do, what religion to believe, and how many children we can have.
01:50:56.580
Do you really want someone telling your children or your grandchildren what, when, and how they
01:51:04.980
I mean, that is, that is a, that's a reasonable place to be.
01:51:12.920
I mean, I'm not saying he works for Southwest, but if that is the point of one of your union
01:51:18.200
members, do they lose their job if they say, I can't do it?
01:51:21.600
I, I, my conscience says I'm violating something sacred to me.
01:51:28.120
Well, that's brought up questions since Gary Kelly said yesterday that, that, uh, no one
01:51:34.500
will lose their job, but they've told us very clearly that they will terminate you if you
01:51:39.880
don't, if they provide an, a exemption medical or religious, uh, are they, and we've had some
01:51:47.640
answers that, that they're going to put them on non-paid status.
01:51:54.500
And I would say Gary Kelly's statements yesterday actually added some, some more uncertainty into
01:52:02.200
So, uh, so you're not going to get fired, but they just won't pay you.
01:52:07.260
You're still working, but they're not paying you semantics.
01:52:24.500
You guys have always had a different reputation and everyone is just falling into line.
01:52:32.800
And it, it seems to me, um, that, uh, somebody has a great opportunity to do something different,
01:52:42.440
um, and to, to stand up for some of the values.
01:52:50.420
Well, this, most of our pilots came to Southwest specifically for that.
01:53:04.100
So again, there's that psychic wage that, that they were paying us because we weren't making
01:53:09.080
as much as Delta American United and still don't have the opportunity to fly heavy jets
01:53:15.920
And, and so people came to Southwest very specifically, uh, for that.
01:53:22.560
I feel very strongly about that culture in the lead in, as we were getting started, you
01:53:27.620
had mentioned what was going on, um, with Bezos and, and, and you mentioned culture.
01:53:32.280
And, and, um, Herb Kelleher started this airline on that very foundational principle, Colleen
01:53:41.680
Barrett, who was, who was, um, his, um, his sidekick and, and, and one of our beloved leaders
01:53:48.100
for many years, she wrote a book and it said, um, during times of stress, stress, you have
01:53:52.800
to be ultra focused on culture because that's where you lose it.
01:53:56.180
And I would say that, uh, for the past five years or so, that's where we've been.
01:54:00.600
And, and, and, and we are fighting for that, for all the employees of Southwest airlines.
01:54:07.140
We are seeing it becoming more of a legacy carrier.
01:54:09.760
Um, but that is something that, that all of us hold very near and dear to our hearts.
01:54:17.920
We are the little scrappy little airline and, uh, and, and, and our pilots, like I said,
01:54:22.460
uh, I'm so proud of what they did this, this summer.
01:54:28.140
They will protest, um, and let their voices be heard, but it's not going to be at the
01:54:35.240
And, and, and I, I have the utmost respect for every one of them for doing it.
01:54:41.040
Let me play the corporate side here for a second.
01:54:46.020
We hate these mandates, but if we don't do it, whether it's an actual mandate or not,
01:54:50.940
this government is using every tool at its disposal from financial services to bailouts
01:54:58.920
to the FAA, I mean, the FAA, you want a Gestapo, they could become a Gestapo quickly.
01:55:05.760
And, uh, whatever, what, you know, what is the corporation supposed to do?
01:55:09.920
Well, I think the corporation, um, I think it is their, their duty to their, to all of
01:55:14.800
their employees to, to fight it, um, to the best of their ability.
01:55:18.600
Um, it's a two-party contract that, that they have with the federal government that
01:55:22.720
they're using to do this, um, exert some pressure.
01:55:25.760
Um, Delta hasn't announced a mandate, um, yet, or maybe they don't.
01:55:34.100
Well, I saw that it's, you know, they say, well, we, we have government contracts.
01:55:40.160
I would cut 2% in a heartbeat if it was tying me down to something I didn't believe in.
01:55:45.600
Well, that, that's a very touchy situation because coming out of COVID, coming out of,
01:55:50.720
of, of what we saw last year, um, um, 2%, um, is, is when we had 0% last year.
01:56:03.940
Um, but I do expect them, uh, to fight, um, and, and, and work through alternative means
01:56:09.620
of compliance, um, those types of issues, natural immunity, antibodies, um, um, I want
01:56:15.040
those questions asked and answered because you've already asked them.
01:56:26.280
Uh, we were hoping to hear something by the end of this week.
01:56:29.060
Um, we're probably going to sit down with him again at the beginning of next week.
01:56:32.680
I spoke with, uh, with, um, our vice president of flight ops last night.
01:56:39.360
I've also spoken, spoken to Bob Jordan as well, and he's been very receptive.
01:56:43.340
Um, our vice president said that, um, they were trying to get as much as they could to
01:56:48.620
Well, I will tell you that, uh, I have a friend who stayed with me over the weekend
01:56:51.920
and, uh, flew into, or flew out of Vegas to Dallas because it was a $40 flight.
01:56:59.440
And I immediately said Southwest and they said, yeah, uh, and she was delayed because of the
01:57:17.940
Captain Casey Murray is the president of Southwest airlines pilots association.
01:57:22.900
Uh, I would, um, he seems like a decent, honorable man.
01:57:27.380
And I hope you, I hope you fight, uh, for more than just, um, a contract.
01:57:34.560
We are in a situation where we are our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor.
01:57:40.600
Our sponsor this half hour is American financing.
01:57:43.440
Now is the time for you to reduce your monthly bills and start saving money.
01:57:47.460
You need to know, I mean that 100% we have no idea where anything is going to be a year
01:57:54.920
from now, we're at a point where home equity levels are red hot mortgage rates are still
01:58:00.800
competitively low and you're seeing much lower rates tied to things like personal loans
01:58:06.840
and credit cards, which is why you need to take a moment and consult your budget better
01:58:12.220
You need to take a moment and, uh, see if American financing can help you.
01:58:17.020
What bills can be paid down to save a significant amount of money on interest?
01:58:21.540
What solutions are available to make a real difference in your finances?
01:58:25.800
God forbid, if you have a adjustable loan, get out of that.
01:58:33.140
Uh, they are a mortgage lender, but they're not going to recommend things like refi unless
01:58:47.820
American financing, NMLS 1-82334, www.nmlsconsumeraccess.org.
01:59:07.080
Um, I thought he was a, I mean, you know, I don't know what I expect when I meet a union
01:59:12.640
Um, but I thought he was really, uh, I liked him.
01:59:17.020
And I think making really obvious requests, right?
01:59:20.440
You know, like if you go get the vaccine, we all know that, you know, some people get sick
01:59:23.980
for a day or two after like minor side effects, but not, not ones you're going to go to work
01:59:28.980
So you're telling me you can't make sure those are not taken out of the guy's sick days.
01:59:37.260
That's something that a lot of companies are doing too.
01:59:39.700
I mean, and when he talked about the culture, you expect Southwest to be the first in line
01:59:44.720
And, you know, for them to have a 50, 50 vaccination rate, uh, that might have something to do with,
01:59:51.020
you know, a lot of their pilots are being, uh, you know, being former air force or Navy
01:59:58.300
The other thing is, uh, uh, they're a different culture, you know, you, you are, if you're
02:00:05.500
working here, right, it's not, the enemy is certainly not COVID as we know.
02:00:09.180
I mean, they're letting people get, they're not even testing them or forcing them to get
02:00:12.860
vaccines when they come across the border illegally.
02:00:15.060
So obviously this is not a COVID related policy.
02:00:17.640
It's about control and it's about the fact that they don't want different.
02:00:25.420
You sure you're telling me you can't have a little bit of disagreement about something
02:00:30.540
They don't, they do not want to, that is the last thing they want.
02:00:34.540
They just don't want so much white in it and everybody has to think alike.
02:00:39.340
But other than that, they work totally for diversity.
02:00:44.260
They don't want, they don't want, it has nothing to do with color or race or anything.
02:00:53.260
They want universal thought that also happens to agree with them.
02:00:56.060
And that's, that goes against everything that Southwest has ever stood for.
02:01:01.140
I mean, they're the ones that, I mean, they really revolutionized things.
02:01:06.200
Uh, and, and have no problem standing up to the government.
02:01:09.520
They were the victims of all sorts of ridiculous laws on where they could fly and how they could
02:01:15.340
And he mentioned Herb Kelleher, who really went to bat to stop all that and, and just
02:01:23.760
I'd love to hear what the pilots of Southwest have to say about Casey's appearance here.
02:01:39.460
I think they're against the mandate, but then also in addition to that, in addition to the
02:01:44.260
point that there's a lot of the pilots who just don't want the vaccine and have made that
02:01:48.620
In addition to that, there are people who probably would get it or consider it except for these
02:01:55.200
ridiculous sort of unanswered questions about whether they're going to get paid if they
02:02:03.200
You know, he mentioned the myocarditis thing, which is a known rare side effect, particularly
02:02:06.880
on younger men, um, uh, of, of, of the pilot age, maybe, yeah, maybe, yeah.
02:02:18.180
I mean, it's one in several million, but as he mentioned, if they have a heart, a heart
02:02:23.440
check that has to be put in there every six months, well, what happens?
02:02:29.260
Their career is over and there's no place you can go.
02:02:32.440
So understandably a pilot would say, wait a minute, like you, there needs to be a series
02:02:37.380
of guarantees here that if this happens to me, God forbid, I'm telling you right now,
02:02:42.140
if you were a hospital somewhere in Texas, let's say, and you said, we're not going for
02:02:47.600
the mandate thing, you would have the cream of the crop.
02:02:50.960
You could get the best of people that are, uh, that are, you know, that are really good.
02:03:02.400
Some of these nurses in Houston got fired and they're able to go and get double and triple
02:03:06.220
the pay in other places because you know, the other places don't have the same mandate.
02:03:10.840
And it's, you know, if you're an, if you're a pilot and you don't agree with it, there's,
02:03:15.000
I mean, I think that we have a really good opportunity to self sort here.
02:03:20.900
I'm not, I'm not doing it because I don't agree with the mandate and, uh, you know, that's
02:03:27.380
There's gotta be a way to relieve that pressure companies that are looking to hire really good
02:03:33.820
You've got a lot of them that are, are leaving their jobs, being forced out of their jobs
