Summary

Summaries generated with gmurro/bart-large-finetuned-filtered-spotify-podcast-summ .

Unvaccinated soldiers are being kicked out of the military because they refuse to take the controversial COID19 vaccine. Is this by design or is it by design by the leftist bureaucracy? Is the government trying to get rid of conservative patriots who would actually be the best fit to serve in the military or are they just trying to destroy our ability to recruit and retain good, patriotic patriots. Or are they trying to make us less likely to fight for our country and our country's interests? or is this just part of a larger political strategy to keep us weak and ineffective in the face of a rapidly growing leftist bureaucracy that will do whatever it takes to get us out of a job and keep us from fighting for our nation. Let's end the stupidity and put America first. It's not that hard, it's not even debatable! Let's all agree that we want a prepared, ready, ready fighting force in order to keep our troops on the front lines. ...and that we need a prepared and ready force to do just that. We can't wait for the day of the vaccine ban to be implemented. . If you don't already have a vaccine, go get one, and let me know what you think of it. I'll tell you what I think about it in the comments section below. Tweet me if you have a question or would you like to add your thoughts on the topic. or have a suggestion for a future episode of the show?

00:00:00.000 Okay, guys, this is a really big deal.
00:00:01.000 So according to Rep. Mike Johnson from Louisiana, Chairman of the House Republicans, constitutional lawyer, small business owner, someone who probably knows a little bit about some of these things and certainly about retention and running an operation.
00:00:15.000 Apparently, the Army Reserve and the National Guard deadline imposed by the Secretary of Defense for mandatory COVID-19 vaccinations is June 30th.
00:00:25.000 Let's see what those effects are going to have.
00:00:27.000 So, so far the SecDef's COVID vaccine mandate is causing major damage to the readiness of our armed forces, in particular the military.
00:00:35.000 At the moment, 13% of the National Guard, 10% of the reserves, and at least 24,250 active soldiers Face expulsion for not receiving the mandatory COVID-19 vaccines.
00:00:50.000 In some states, approximately 25% of National Guardsmen are unvaccinated.
00:00:56.000 Remember, guard work is part-time, so Guardsmen don't have to follow a mandate in order to keep their regular livelihoods.
00:01:02.000 Imagine staying in business if your company lost 25% of its workforce.
00:01:11.000 Johnson's onto something here, guys.
00:01:13.000 At this point, you see some of the things going on.
00:01:15.000 You see the insane recruitment videos. 0.99
00:01:18.000 You see some of the garbage they've been putting. 0.82
00:01:20.000 Whether it was some of the videos we've talked about here in the past. 0.98
00:01:24.000 You know, Russia and China, they're salivating. 0.89
00:01:28.000 It has to be by design at this point, in my opinion, right?
00:01:31.000 It has to be by design that we're trying to actually destroy this.
00:01:35.000 The people we'd actually want fighting for us in the army and otherwise, that maybe, you know, conservative and or not believe in mandates or, like...
00:01:44.000 Is the purge, like, are they actively trying to get rid of those who would probably do the best job?
00:01:49.000 But thanks to SECDEF's VAX mandate, in addition to Army retention, Army recruitment is also failing, Rep.
00:01:55.000 Johnson tells us. The Army has met just 40% of its recruiting target for 2022 despite dropping the requirements to have a high school diploma or GED. Think about that for a second, guys.
00:02:10.000 You drop the standards like they've been doing with so many other things, right?
00:02:13.000 Nothing matters anymore.
00:02:16.000 Yeah, sure, you can be in the Army.
00:02:17.000 What could go wrong? They drop the standards and they still can't meet their recruiting goals.
00:02:23.000 The recruiting crisis is only accelerating, he says.
00:02:26.000 In April, the Army offered 10K to potential recruits to go to basic training within 30 days.
00:02:32.000 In June, not that long afterwards, they offered $25K. And last week, the Army began offering recruits in any career field $35K to ship off to training.
00:02:43.000 Over 40% of the 18 to 24-year-olds They've looked at, have refused the COVID-19 vaccine.
00:02:51.000 That's their target demographic.
00:02:53.000 40% of the country in the target demographic for recruitment in the army is like, yeah, we're not going to do that.
00:02:59.000 Again, is it by design?
00:03:01.000 Are they trying to get rid of or prevent them from entering the army?
00:03:06.000 The people we would probably most want actually out there fighting for us.
00:03:11.000 Good, strong, conservative, loyal patriots.
00:03:16.000 Is it by design, guys?
00:03:18.000 In the southern U.S., which produces nearly half of all enlistments, the proportion of unvaccinated men is even higher.
00:03:24.000 Bottom line, the administration is destroying the readiness of our armed forces by creating an unnecessary recruiting and retention shortfall. 0.99
00:03:33.000 Again, they could simply make that crap go away. 0.97
00:03:36.000 The army, if you're in and of that age, you're probably not so susceptible to COVID, right? 0.99
00:03:41.000 You're in great shape, you're young, you probably don't have pre-existing conditions unless I got rid of those standards too, which wouldn't surprise me.
00:03:49.000 So, over an illness, again, that's very, very unlikely to affect any of the people we're actually talking about.
00:03:58.000 Guys, there's simply no other way around it.
00:04:00.000 Until the Secretary of Defense withdraws delays or modifies the mandates or begins rapidly granting more exemptions, whether it's religious or otherwise, our military is going to have to continue to lower their recruitment standards, degrading the readiness and professionalism of our armed forces.
00:04:15.000 Again, it seems like the leftists are doing this by design.
00:04:21.000 Every male that's out there, everyone who'd be fit who could do this, probably does the day of the vaccine.
00:04:26.000 It wouldn't matter. Let's end the stupidity. 1.00
00:04:31.000 Let's start putting America first. 1.00
00:04:34.000 It's not that hard.
00:04:35.000 Both sides of the aisle could agree that we want a prepared, ready fighting force.
00:04:41.000 Guys, like, this shouldn't even be debatable at this point.
00:04:44.000 And yet, it seems that it is.
00:04:47.000 And, you know, I guess they're probably just trying to thin out the guys that would actually be good at fighting.
