00:00:30.400 Hey, it's Jeremy Boren, co-CEO and God King of The Daily Wire.
00:00:33.380 I don't usually like to interrupt your regular programming, but this is important.
00:00:37.500 All right.
00:00:38.140 Today, Joe Biden announced he was going to use the full force of the federal government
00:00:41.660 to mandate that all companies with 100 plus employees force their workers to be vaccinated
00:00:46.480 or subject them to weekly tests for COVID-19.
00:00:49.740 I just got off the phone with our lawyers,
00:00:51.600 and I just want to reiterate something that I already said today on Twitter.
00:00:54.800 No.
00:00:55.760 The Daily Wire does have more than 100 employees,
00:00:57.720 but we won't be enforcing Joe Biden's unconstitutional and tyrannical vaccine mandate.
00:01:02.760 That's it.
00:01:03.500 We'll use every tool at our disposal, including legal action, to resist.
00:01:07.720 Biden's ultimatum will impact over 80 million private sector workers.
00:01:11.620 Companies that refuse to comply will face up to $14,000 in fines for every single violation.
00:01:17.160 So I'm sure most companies will probably just do it.
00:01:20.080 They don't have much choice.
00:01:21.580 We won't.
00:01:22.960 It's not that we're anti-vaccine.
00:01:24.620 I'm personally very pro-vaccine.
00:01:26.340 I think the COVID vaccines are probably the greatest scientific achievement so far in the 21st century.
00:01:31.100 And I think the speed at which they were created may be Trump's greatest achievement as president.
00:01:35.720 They seem to do a pretty good job preventing hospitalization
00:01:37.920 and a great job preventing death from COVID-19.
00:01:40.680 That's terrific.
00:01:41.540 If I were a dictator, I'd probably make you get it. 0.81
00:01:43.600 But I'm not a dictator, and neither is Joe Biden.
00:01:47.240 He has no right to impose this burden on American businesses.
00:01:50.380 How are we supposed to pay for it?
00:01:51.720 What are we going to do with all these new liabilities that we incur
00:01:54.180 from injecting ourselves into the private health decisions of our employees?
00:01:58.200 More to the point, he has no right to impose this burden on the American people.
00:02:01.840 It's anti-science, and it's totalitarian, and we cannot comply with it.
00:02:06.040 I say anti-science because the mandate contains no exceptions for those in low-risk demographic groups.
00:02:11.100 There's no exceptions for those with natural immunity.
00:02:13.600 Also, there's no taking into account the fact that these vaccines are pretty effective.
00:02:18.340 So if you're vaccinated, congratulations, you're at low risk from COVID-19,
00:02:22.860 whether your neighbor's vaccinated or not.
00:02:24.900 And that's good news, since your vaccinated neighbor can still transmit the damn disease. 0.95
00:02:29.620 And I say it's tyrannical, because using unelected bureaucratic machinery like OSHA
00:02:34.140 to force small businesses into becoming the vaccine and testing enforcement arm of the federal government
00:02:39.360 is definitionally anti-democratic.
00:02:42.000 It marks a dramatic break with our constitutional order.
00:02:46.280 According to Reuters, 75% of American adults are already vaccinated.
00:02:51.040 At least, they've already received one dose of the vaccine.
00:02:53.440 And 53%, according to the CDC, are fully vaccinated.
00:02:56.820 So people who want the COVID vaccine already have it.
00:03:00.780 And those who don't want it shouldn't have to get it because it's a free country.
00:03:05.880 It's not your job to protect me from me.
00:03:08.160 And you already have the tools to protect yourself from me.
00:03:10.860 So Joe Biden has no compelling reason to encroach on our liberties,
00:03:14.640 other than he just doesn't like what we do with them.
00:03:17.340 Well, guess what?
00:03:18.200 Joe Biden isn't your mom.
00:03:19.980 The government isn't your mom.
00:03:21.720 And your employer sure as hell isn't your mom. 0.96
00:03:23.580 We've already watched for over a year and a half as Americans have ceded liberty after liberty
00:03:29.100 to wannabe tyrants like Anthony Fauci.
00:03:31.620 They broke our economy.
00:03:32.940 They locked us in our homes.
00:03:34.300 They destroyed our supply chains.
00:03:35.920 They crushed our small businesses.
00:03:37.380 They masked our children.
00:03:39.040 Enough.
00:03:40.020 That is enough.
00:03:42.960 So the answer is no.
00:03:44.680 No, the Daily Wire won't be enforcing Joe Biden's petty tyranny.
00:03:47.980 We've already retained legal counsel,
00:03:49.560 and we're prepared to go to battle with this administration
00:03:51.800 to put an end to their unconstitutional bullshit.
00:03:54.940 We hope other people and other businesses will join us.
00:03:57.280 If they do, great.
00:03:58.400 If they don't, that's fine too.
00:04:00.300 There's got to be a line.
00:04:01.520 And for us, this is it.
00:04:03.220 So Joe, hard pass. 0.92
