00:00:00.000 Hey, it's Jeremy Boren, co-CEO and God King of The Daily Wire.
00:00:03.480 All right, the Biden administration announced today that it's suspending the implementation
00:00:07.200 and enforcement of its unconstitutional vaccine mandate for private sector employers pending
00:00:11.900 the outcome of litigation by The Daily Wire and others.
00:00:14.940 This is huge news for the 80-plus million American workers currently being asked to
00:00:19.120 choose between their livelihoods and their bodily autonomy.
00:00:22.320 It's huge news, too, here at The Daily Wire.
00:00:24.440 We were the first in the nation to file suit against the administration for this tyrannical
00:00:27.960 overreach, and just this week, all of the cases filed around the country were consolidated
00:00:32.580 into our court, the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals.
00:00:35.720 That puts The Daily Wire at the forefront of the fight against Joe Biden's assault on our
00:00:39.520 businesses, our bodies, and our private health decisions.
00:00:42.520 But here's the thing.
00:00:43.660 This victory won't mean anything to American workers unless businesses nationwide also stop
00:00:48.480 enforcing and implementing the mandate.
00:00:50.820 If you run a business and you've spent the last few weeks preparing to go along with the
00:00:54.580 Biden plan, I get it.
00:00:56.060 The government has brought enormous pressure to bear, and the fines that they're threatening
00:00:59.840 for noncompliance are staggering.
00:01:01.880 They could break any company.
00:01:03.320 But here's the thing.
00:01:04.600 Unless you're a government contractor or subject to the health care worker vax requirement or
00:01:09.320 some other local or state policy, none of that is actually in play at the moment.
00:01:13.500 Until the Sixth Circuit or the Supreme Court rules otherwise, the OSHA mandate is now off.
00:01:18.740 No vaccine requirement.
00:01:20.220 No testing requirement.
00:01:21.680 No masks.
00:01:22.400 No fines.
00:01:23.060 Nothing.
00:01:23.440 You don't have to do anything.
00:01:26.260 So don't.
00:01:27.360 Don't do the dirty work for the government.
00:01:29.320 Make them have to defend this unconstitutional bullshit in court before you give in.
00:01:33.860 If you believe in bodily autonomy, if you believe in the basic freedoms of your employees,
00:01:38.060 just don't do anything.
00:01:40.400 Now, I get that not every company is in a position to fight this the way that The Daily
00:01:43.700 Wire is fighting it.
00:01:44.840 That's fine.
00:01:45.460 You don't have to.
00:01:46.620 Just don't surrender while the fight is still on.
00:01:49.460 Respect the private health decisions of your employees.
00:01:51.580 Leave the whole fight the government bit to us and to the other litigants.
00:01:55.420 And if you work for a company that's forcing this nonsense on you in the name of complying
00:01:59.000 with the OSHA mandate, well, that's no longer true.
00:02:01.980 The mandate is no longer being actively implemented by the government.
00:02:05.520 So if you're being discriminated against on the basis of your vaccination status, that's
00:02:09.560 your boss, not Uncle Sam.
00:02:11.400 Don't let them hide behind the vaccine mandate.
00:02:13.680 Unless we lose in court, none of us has to comply.
00:02:16.700 And we're not going to lose.
00:02:17.760 We're going to kick the government's ass.
00:02:19.760 Because the Constitution doesn't give the government the power to force private companies
00:02:23.060 to declare that American workers are themselves a threat to workplace safety.
00:02:27.460 And even if it did, Congress certainly didn't delegate that power to the unelected bureaucrats
00:02:31.780 over at OSHA.
00:02:32.700 And even if they did, OSHA bypassed the legally required administrative procedures necessary
00:02:37.480 to implement such a policy in the name of the COVID emergency.
00:02:41.400 And there is no COVID emergency.
00:02:43.780 We have a vaccine now, which is effective at mitigating the threat of hospitalization
00:02:48.020 and death for the vaccinated.
00:02:49.640 And virtually every American who wants that vaccine already has it.
00:02:54.260 And with new therapeutics that are coming online, even the unvaccinated are at a lower
00:02:58.420 and lower risk from COVID.
00:03:00.140 So the government has absolutely no legal or constitutional right to attack our freedoms
00:03:04.680 in this way.
00:03:05.820 Joe Biden doesn't care about any of that, of course.
00:03:07.980 He's told us his reason for trying to force us all to comply with this tyrannical edict.
00:03:11.420 He's losing patience with us not doing what he wants.
00:03:15.800 Well, that might pass for an argument in some communist dictatorship hellhole, but we still
00:03:19.800 have the rule of law in this country.
00:03:21.380 And today, Biden and OSHA have had to admit just that.
00:03:24.920 Like I said, huge news, but the fight is just getting started.
00:03:28.220 We still have to actually win the court case.
00:03:30.440 Some 600,000 people have already added their voices to our fight by signing our petition at
00:03:34.900 dailywired.com slash do not comply.
00:03:37.280 They're helping us tell the Biden administration we oppose these mandates.
00:03:40.480 And again, if you're a business owner that believes in freedom, the absolute best thing
00:03:44.940 you can do to help is just stop.
00:03:47.240 Stop implementing OSHA's illegal mandate, because as of today, you don't have to.
00:03:52.280 Don't make it easy for them by making your employees choose between their jobs and their
00:03:56.500 freedom.
