Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: Should COVID nineteen and the issue of COVID and freedom
- 0:06Speaker 1: of choice when it comes to getting the vaccine be
- 0:10Speaker 1: an issue in the twenty twenty four presidential election. Now
- 0:15Speaker 1: some of you may think, line, there's other pressing and
- 0:18Speaker 1: important issues. That is true. But should we not be
- 0:22Speaker 1: having a debate or a conversation about the government overreach
- 0:26Speaker 1: and the mandates and the shutting down of businesses, churches singing,
- 0:30Speaker 1: shutting down of.
- 0:32Speaker 2: The entire economy.
- 0:33Speaker 1: Should we not be talking about what your plan would
- 0:36Speaker 1: be if you were faced with doing this? Yet Again,
- 0:40Speaker 1: the reason why I asked that question is because of
- 0:44Speaker 1: a story that is not being reported, and the story
- 0:48Speaker 1: is the Harris campaign is requiring employees to be quote
- 0:53Speaker 1: unquote up to date on COVID vaccines. Vice President Saint
- 1:00Speaker 1: Kamala Harris's presidential campaign is officially requiring its employees to
- 1:05Speaker 1: be up to date on COVID nineteen vaccines, according to
- 1:08Speaker 1: a job listing from the campaign, which is searching for
- 1:12Speaker 1: a national booker. The Hair's campaign has a job listing
- 1:18Speaker 1: for the national booker tasks with working with the sarrogates
- 1:21Speaker 1: communication director and the deputy communications director to execute Harris
- 1:27Speaker 1: for president strategy for deploying surrogates and allies across national
- 1:32Speaker 1: and regional media outlets.
- 1:34Speaker 2: According to the listing, the national booker is also tasked.
- 1:38Speaker 1: With managing daily reservations with media bookers and developing strategies
- 1:42Speaker 1: to increase the visibility of campaign spokespeople and sarrogates across
- 1:47Speaker 1: TV networks, radio, digital streaming programs, podcasts, and much more.
- 1:54Speaker 1: Required skills and qualification for the job are fairly run
- 1:58Speaker 1: of the mill, three to five year years of experience
- 2:00Speaker 1: in media or communications, a strong interest in media or politics,
- 2:05Speaker 1: good instincts is what they call it, and the ability
- 2:08Speaker 1: to thrive in a fast paced environment. However, in the
- 2:13Speaker 1: fine print at the bottom of the listing, the campaign
- 2:16Speaker 1: makes it clear that it also expects he would be
- 2:19Speaker 1: employees to completely be caught up on his or her
- 2:24Speaker 1: I guess if we're using pronouns right.
- 2:26Speaker 2: I don't know them or they if they how that works.
- 2:29Speaker 1: But if they must be caught up on their coronavirus vaccinations, yeah,
- 2:37Speaker 1: you can pause for a second and think about how
- 2:39Speaker 1: many booster shots it would take to get.
- 2:41Speaker 2: You, quote up to date.
- 2:43Speaker 1: Harris for President requires all employees to be quote unquote
- 2:48Speaker 1: up to date on COVID nineteen vaccination status as prescribed
- 2:53Speaker 1: by the CDC as a condition of employment, unless otherwise
- 2:56Speaker 1: prohibited by applicable law. If you seek a reason accommodation
- 3:01Speaker 1: relation to the campaign's COVID nineteen policy, you should speak
- 3:04Speaker 1: to the HR department prior to reporting to an office location. Now,
- 3:09Speaker 1: it remains unclear what the campaign considers a reasonable accommodation
- 3:14Speaker 1: to sidestep the coronavirus vaccination rules, such as concerns over
- 3:18Speaker 1: I don't know, maybe like adverse effects. Currently, the CDC
- 3:22Speaker 1: recommends a twenty twenty three twenty twenty four updated COVID
- 3:26Speaker 1: nineteen vaccines, listing Pfizer, bio in Tech, Maderna, and Nova
- 3:34Speaker 1: Vacs as options. It recommends that every person five years
- 3:38Speaker 1: of age and older get one dose of an updated vaccine,
- 3:42Speaker 1: but it states that those sixty five and older who
- 3:45Speaker 1: receive one dose of the recommended updated vaccine should receive
- 3:48Speaker 1: one additional dose of an updated COVID nineteen vaccine at
- 3:53Speaker 1: least four months after the previous updated dose, so I
- 3:57Speaker 1: guess every four months. Interestingly enough, the listing stresses that
- 4:03Speaker 1: the Hairs for President campaign is quote committed to diversity
- 4:08Speaker 1: among its staff, deeming itself an equal opportunity employer quote recruiting, hiring, training, promoting,
- 4:18Speaker 1: and administering without regard to sex, race, age, color, creed,
- 4:22Speaker 1: national origin, religion, economic status, sexual orientation, veteran status, gender
- 4:27Speaker 1: identity or expression, ethnic identity, or disability, or any other
- 4:32Speaker 1: legally protected basis. Despite that, it seems a campaign is
- 4:36Speaker 1: clearly not committed to the diversity of vaccine status. Now,
- 4:40Speaker 1: let me tell you about our friends, real quick, Patriot
- 4:42Speaker 1: Mobile Americans. If you're like me, you are sick and
- 4:45Speaker 1: tired and frustrated by a stalling economy. You're frustrated by inflation,
- 4:50Speaker 1: You're in frustrated by the endless wars of the left
- 4:52Speaker 1: and the relentless assault on our American values. There are
- 4:58Speaker 1: major companies that you are giving your money to you
- 5:02Speaker 1: every month with your cell phone service Big Mobile, that
- 5:05Speaker 1: are actually helping these things to happen. How because they
- 5:09Speaker 1: give massive donations to democratic causes candidates, including Harris, including Biden,
- 5:16Speaker 1: including Obama. The list goes on and on, and they
- 5:19Speaker 1: give money to organizations that pay for abortions. If you
- 5:25Speaker 1: don't want your money going there, you need to switch
- 5:27Speaker 1: to Patriot Mobile because Patriot Mobile was created after there
- 5:32Speaker 1: was a group of conservatives that found out just how
- 5:34Speaker 1: radical Big Mobile had gotten, and they believe in America,
- 5:37Speaker 1: in our constitution. Now I'm proud to say I use
- 5:40Speaker 1: Patriot Mobile. I am proud to say I've been telling
- 5:43Speaker 1: you about them for years and they are on the
- 5:45Speaker 1: front lines fighting every day for our rights. Because when
- 5:49Speaker 1: you pay your bill every month, at no extra cost
- 5:52Speaker 1: to you, they take about five percent of that bill
- 5:54Speaker 1: and they give it back to First and Second Amendment
- 5:56Speaker 1: causes Sanctity of Life groups and organizations, and they give
- 6:01Speaker 1: to our military, our veterans, our first responders, and are
- 6:04Speaker 1: wounded warrior heroes. So you can take a stand with
- 6:07Speaker 1: every phone call you make. And switching now is easy
- 6:11Speaker 1: because in twenty twenty four, you're gonna use the same
- 6:14Speaker 1: towers when you switch to Patriot Mobile that you're using
- 6:16Speaker 1: right now. They operate on all three of the major
- 6:19Speaker 1: networks in this country, and they back their service with
- 6:23Speaker 1: a coverage guarantee, So switching is easy.
- 6:26Speaker 2: You do it all over the phone.
- 6:27Speaker 1: Go to Patriot Mobile dot com slash ferguson. That's Patriot
- 6:32Speaker 1: Mobile dot com slash ferguson and you're gonna get a
- 6:35Speaker 1: free month when you use the offer code ferguson. You
- 6:37Speaker 1: can also call them and just make the switch over
- 6:39Speaker 1: the phone. Ninety seven to two Patriot is their number.
- 6:43Speaker 1: Nine seven to two Patriot. Call them and make the
- 6:46Speaker 1: switch and make a difference every day now. The Biden
- 6:49Speaker 1: campaign had a similar requirement in a job listing earlier
- 6:53Speaker 1: in twenty twenty four, so if you think this is new,
- 6:55Speaker 1: it is not, as it searchs for a Diversity, Equity
- 6:59Speaker 1: and Inclusion.
- 7:00Speaker 2: Director known as DEI.
- 7:02Speaker 1: It also required that the applicant be hired be quote
- 7:05Speaker 1: unquote up to date on his or herd coronavirus vaccinations.
- 7:09Speaker 1: The campaign's requirement is remiicent of the Biden Harrison Administration's
- 7:14Speaker 1: war against unvaccinated Americans, which largely dominated the beginning of
- 7:19Speaker 1: the administration. Has happened despite the fact that President Joe
- 7:22Speaker 1: Biden in December of twenty twenty misled the American people
- 7:25Speaker 1: asserting that he did not believe vaccines should be mandatory,
- 7:30Speaker 1: Yet he tried to make vaccines mandatory via the Occupational
- 7:33Speaker 1: Safety and Health Administration's OSHA organization, using the agency to
- 7:39Speaker 1: force vaccines on tens of millions of US workers. This
- 7:44Speaker 1: is the President of the United States of America telling Americans, right, Oh.
- 7:47Speaker 2: You don't need to worry about any of this, right,
- 7:51Speaker 2: mister President.
- 7:53Speaker 3: President.
- 7:54Speaker 4: There's two famous guys in this audience.
- 7:56Speaker 5: I just.
- 7:57Speaker 4: Ben Cardon and Chris van Holland and the mayor Holy
- 8:09Speaker 4: not though.
- 8:11Speaker 6: This is a Bustmas holiday for you guys having her
- 8:13Speaker 6: coming here.
- 8:15Speaker 4: Thank you this prison.
- 8:16Speaker 2: Let me ask you fall about that.
- 8:17Speaker 7: As many as one in three emergency responders in some
- 8:21Speaker 7: cities like Chicago, Los Angeles right here in Baltimore are
- 8:24Speaker 7: refusing to comply with city vaccine mandates. I'm wondering where
- 8:29Speaker 7: you stand on that. Should police officers, emergency responders be
- 8:33Speaker 7: mandated to get vaccines and if not, should they be
- 8:36Speaker 7: stay at home or let go?
- 8:38Speaker 8: Yes?
- 8:38Speaker 4: And yes, by the way, by the way, I waited.
- 8:47Speaker 6: Until July to talk about mandating because I tried everything
- 8:54Speaker 6: else possible.
- 8:55Speaker 4: The mandates are working. All the stuff about people leaving
- 9:00Speaker 4: and people.
- 9:00Speaker 6: Goodnes you have, you have everyone for United Airlines to
- 9:04Speaker 6: spirit all these airlines, We're not going to get all
- 9:07Speaker 6: ninety six ninety seven percent of the people have gotten
- 9:10Speaker 6: the vaccine.
- 9:11Speaker 4: All the talk about all these folks who are going
- 9:13Speaker 4: to leave the military if they're mandated. Not true.
- 9:16Speaker 6: You got about a ninety percent vaccination rate. I mean,
- 9:20Speaker 6: so there's the idea is that.
- 9:24Speaker 4: Look, the two.
- 9:26Speaker 6: Things that concern me. One are those who just try
- 9:30Speaker 6: to make.
- 9:30Speaker 4: This a political issue. Freedom.
- 9:33Speaker 6: I have the freedom to kill you with my COVID No,
- 9:37Speaker 6: I mean, come on, freedom number one.
- 9:41Speaker 4: Number two.
- 9:42Speaker 6: The second one is that you know, the gross misinformation
- 9:47Speaker 6: that's out there, like what they're saying about my buddy
- 9:49Speaker 6: Colin Powell, and he was my friend passed away.
- 9:53Speaker 4: Colin Powell was vaccinating.
- 9:54Speaker 6: He still died well, he knew he had serious underlying
- 9:57Speaker 6: conditions and it would be difficult.
- 10:00Speaker 4: He clearly would have.
- 10:01Speaker 6: Been gone earlier had he not gotten the vaccine, had
- 10:04Speaker 6: he not gotten the.
- 10:07Speaker 4: Shots.
- 10:07Speaker 6: But my generic point is there's so much misinformation. You
- 10:11Speaker 6: know what I find fascinating. I turn on Fox to
- 10:14Speaker 6: find out how popular I am.
- 10:18Speaker 4: But how are you doing there?
- 10:20Speaker 6: I'm doing very well. I think I'm at three percent favorable.
- 10:23Speaker 6: But all kid in decide. One of the things I
- 10:26Speaker 6: find you realize they mandate vaccinations.
- 10:29Speaker 4: At fox ed quarters.
- 10:31Speaker 6: Yeah, I find that mildly fascinating. Mildly fascinated I.
- 10:37Speaker 2: Want to bring in fatty of Christ from.
- 10:43Speaker 1: This was when we was a little bit more coherent.
- 10:46Speaker 1: But there's nothing like having a present that mocks you.
- 10:49Speaker 4: Right.
- 10:50Speaker 1: He mocks people that are against vaccines, and then he
- 10:53Speaker 1: talks about how you should be fired if you don't
- 10:55Speaker 1: go along with what they say. This is also the
- 10:57Speaker 1: same guy that told you that you would be protect
- 11:00Speaker 1: and that you're not going to get COVID if you
- 11:01Speaker 1: get vaccinated, that you're not going to die.
- 11:04Speaker 2: It's a great sales pitch, wasn't true. Now.
- 11:07Speaker 1: The US Supreme Court eventually intervene, blocking the Ocean mandate,
- 11:14Speaker 1: but it still did not stop Biden from making negative
- 11:16Speaker 1: remarks towards unvaccinated Americans over the years. The vaccine requirement
- 11:22Speaker 1: also comes despite the fact that the coronavirus vaccines do
- 11:25Speaker 1: not prevent the transmission of the virus, nor do they
- 11:29Speaker 1: stop the vaccinated from contracting COVID nineteen. I want to
- 11:34Speaker 1: go back to what I was saying a moment ago
- 11:37Speaker 1: about not only the Supreme Court had to intervene and
- 11:41Speaker 1: block the Ocean mandate on vaccines, but it still didn't
- 11:45Speaker 1: stop Biden from making negative remarks towards unvaccinated Americans, despite
- 11:51Speaker 1: claiming the contrary and spreading vaccine misinformation, A vaccinated and
- 11:57Speaker 1: boosted Biden, Joe Biden knows the facts about the vaccine's
- 12:03Speaker 1: effectiveness all too well.
- 12:05Speaker 2: How do we know this?
- 12:06Speaker 1: He tested positive for COVID yet again in July. He knows,
- 12:12Speaker 1: he knows, he knows it didn't work. Now you may say, well, Ben,
- 12:20Speaker 1: you talked a lot about Biden, right, like, come on, man,
- 12:23Speaker 1: it's Biden. He's not gonna be president. Why are you
- 12:26Speaker 1: talking about Biden? All right, it's a great question. I'll
- 12:31Speaker 1: take exactly why, because it's his ideology that has come
- 12:36Speaker 1: in to this administration that they're now wanting to give you.
- 12:40Speaker 1: Tim Walltz, in his own words, one of the biggest
- 12:44Speaker 1: tyrants of COVID, had this to say, listen carefully.
- 12:48Speaker 8: These are the guys that believe government should be free
- 12:50Speaker 8: to invade your exam room with your doctor. Vice President
- 12:53Speaker 8: Harris and I will make sure that you make your
- 12:55Speaker 8: healthcare decisions. In Minnesota, we respect our neighbors and their
- 12:58Speaker 8: personal choices that they We respect our neighbors and the
- 13:01Speaker 8: personal choices they make. We respect our neighbors' rights to
- 13:04Speaker 8: make their own personal choices.
- 13:06Speaker 9: Minnesota Governor Tim Walls is requiring vaccinations now for all
- 13:10Speaker 9: state agency employers. Employees working in person must show proof
- 13:16Speaker 9: of their vaccination status.
- 13:17Speaker 8: A committee heard concerns of workers are leaving nursing homes
- 13:20Speaker 8: and state jobs because they must be vaccinated or get
- 13:23Speaker 8: tested regularly.
- 13:24Speaker 2: Abby Teeman, a certified nursing assistant, described plunging staff levels
- 13:29Speaker 2: at the nursing home she worked at.
- 13:31Speaker 3: We've come to the point where no one else is
- 13:33Speaker 3: willing to take that vaccine.
- 13:35Speaker 10: I am one of them. In the last couple of months,
- 13:37Speaker 10: we've lost six nursing assistants, three nurses, and the administrator.
- 13:42Speaker 5: The seam Outlaw was named Lyman Hall High School's Teacher
- 13:46Speaker 5: of the Year in the spring of twenty twenty.
- 13:49Speaker 2: And guess what happened? What happened?
- 13:51Speaker 1: When you've got a teacher that's named teacher of the year.
- 13:56Speaker 1: You think the guys stayed, You think he left?
- 13:59Speaker 2: What do you think?
- 14:00Speaker 5: No longer have the benefit from learning from him due
- 14:03Speaker 5: to his refusal to comply with the governor's COVID vaccine
- 14:07Speaker 5: and testing mandates.
- 14:09Speaker 4: We know there's a golden rule.
- 14:11Speaker 2: There's a golden rule.
- 14:12Speaker 4: When you learn a golden rule. Mind your own damn business.
- 14:15Speaker 4: Mind your own damn business. Mind your own damn business.
- 14:18Speaker 4: Mind your own damn business. Mind your own damn business.
- 14:21Speaker 4: We did a stay at home order.
- 14:22Speaker 8: We closed down personal care providers getting your haircut, social
- 14:26Speaker 8: gatherings with other households.
- 14:28Speaker 4: Don't bring other households in.
- 14:30Speaker 8: We're going to stop in person dining, fitness centers, and
- 14:33Speaker 8: adult and youth sports places like bowling alleys and bingo halls.
- 14:36Speaker 8: In theaters will need to take a pause. Receptions, private parties,
- 14:40Speaker 8: and other celebrations.
- 14:41Speaker 4: The same thing in outdoor events and entertainment.
- 14:44Speaker 8: Let's pause some of the social stuff. Early on, there
- 14:46Speaker 8: was some talk that no deal would be made unless
- 14:49Speaker 8: I got rid of the mass mandate and took off
- 14:52Speaker 8: all mitigation measures.
- 14:53Speaker 4: Well, that's not going to happen within the classroom itself.
- 14:56Speaker 4: This idea that the young kids.
- 14:59Speaker 1: I still love this. He's talking about the kids, folks
- 15:03Speaker 1: in the classroom itself, like there's no deal. I'm a dictator,
- 15:07Speaker 1: I'm a tyrant. I do what I want to do.
- 15:09Speaker 1: That's the same guy that sounds saying, wow, you should
- 15:11Speaker 1: get the government out of your out of your doctor's
- 15:13Speaker 1: office with you and Donald Trump shouldn't be in the
- 15:15Speaker 1: doctor's office when you're dealing with wanting to kill a
- 15:18Speaker 1: baby with abortion, right like that. You know, we mind
- 15:20Speaker 1: your own business. Mind your own business, except if I'm
- 15:23Speaker 1: in charge.
- 15:24Speaker 4: Its do not have to be actually socially distanced. Will
- 15:28Speaker 4: they have to wear masks.
- 15:29Speaker 11: We did say though, that they did need to wear masks.
- 15:31Speaker 11: It's part of one of the executive orders.
- 15:33Speaker 12: Outdoor tens are okay as long as two of the
- 15:36Speaker 12: walls are missing to create some airflow. There's also a
- 15:38Speaker 12: curfew of ten PM in those settings. Tabletops limited to four.
- 15:43Speaker 12: The newer requirements require twelve feet of distance between people
- 15:46Speaker 12: who are working out us must wear a mask the
- 15:49Speaker 12: entire time that you're there.
- 15:50Speaker 4: I don't want to get into the mask mandate. I
- 15:53Speaker 4: think that we know.
- 15:53Speaker 2: That they work.
- 15:54Speaker 12: Fitness classes are not allowed because those classes are again
- 15:58Speaker 12: more unpredictable, and they bring people clothes together by the
- 16:00Speaker 12: nature of how they're run.
- 16:01Speaker 8: You're not going to open the economy if you don't
- 16:03Speaker 8: beat the virus. Vice President Harris and I will make
- 16:05Speaker 8: sure that you make your healthcare decisions because we have
- 16:08Speaker 8: a rule whether you'd make the same decision as someone
- 16:10Speaker 8: else just mind your own damn business.
- 16:12Speaker 2: There.
- 16:12Speaker 1: It is, just mind your own damn business, That is
- 16:17Speaker 1: what he said. Okay, So where was that logic when
- 16:22Speaker 1: you were the governor putting some of the most extreme
- 16:25Speaker 1: lockdowns that we've ever seen, some of the most radical
- 16:30Speaker 1: and extreme lockdowns in the country. Where where was that logic?
- 16:38Speaker 1: Somebody tell me where that logic was.
- 16:42Speaker 2: I want to know. I want to know exactly when
- 16:47Speaker 2: you decided that this was gonna be your thing.
- 16:51Speaker 1: Mind your own damn business with my you know, with
- 16:53Speaker 1: with with what you're doing now just kidding. Yeah, No,
- 16:56Speaker 1: I'm going to shut down your business. I'm going to
- 16:58Speaker 1: shut down your sports. I'm going to make you sit outside.
- 17:00Speaker 1: I'm gonna put a curfew in. I'm gonna put you
- 17:03Speaker 1: in lockdowns you never even could have imagined. I'm gonna
- 17:06Speaker 1: I'm gonna do it all, Which goes back to my
- 17:09Speaker 1: original question, should okay, should we be in a scenario
- 17:17Speaker 1: where we're having a presidential election without this being an issue.
- 17:20Speaker 1: It was not talked about in the vice president's debate,
- 17:23Speaker 1: was not talked about in the in the in the
- 17:25Speaker 1: big debates, like we've already moved on from it. Minnesota
- 17:29Speaker 1: Governor Tim Walls repeating this line over and over again,
- 17:33Speaker 1: mind your own damn business on the campaign.
- 17:35Speaker 2: Trail, referring to abortion.
- 17:37Speaker 1: Waltz believes that socialism is another word for neighborliness. This
- 17:44Speaker 1: is the same guy that set up an actual snitch
- 17:47Speaker 1: line during the coronavirus pandemic, encouraging people to inform on
- 17:52Speaker 1: their neighbors if they were violating his draconian stay at
- 17:57Speaker 1: home orders as he abused his emergency hours. Samples of
- 18:03Speaker 1: the audio have been released. You could call a line,
- 18:09Speaker 1: call it.

- 18:33Speaker 2: When you are finished, hang up or press pound for
- 18:36Speaker 2: more option.
- 18:37Speaker 1: I'm not sure what's more shocking the actual phone recording
- 18:40Speaker 1: of Tim Watson as a well in COVID snitch hotline,
- 18:44Speaker 1: or maybe what's even more shocking is that the governor
- 18:47Speaker 1: kept the hotline operational until June of twenty twenty two.
- 18:51Speaker 1: Why do you leave it up till June twenty twenty two.
- 18:54Speaker 1: No one has answered that question. All right, if you

- 20:40Speaker 1: is they're hoping that you'll just forget everything they did.
- 20:44Speaker 1: You'll forget that they had massive lockdowns in Minnesota. You'll
- 20:47Speaker 1: forget that they have vaccine mandates to work on their campaign.
- 20:52Speaker 1: And I'm referring obviously to Harris and that you'll just
- 20:55Speaker 1: forget that. The guy who's now saying, you know, so
- 21:00Speaker 1: mind your own damn business when it comes to women's
- 21:03Speaker 1: health is the same guy that wanted to be all
- 21:05Speaker 1: up in your grill. Tim Waltz kept his Cinch line
- 21:08Speaker 1: up and up and running until June of twenty twenty two.
- 21:13Speaker 1: A guy by the name of Matt Burke ran for
- 21:16Speaker 1: lieutenant governor, and when he was running he put out
- 21:20Speaker 1: a video just reminding people of this.
- 21:22Speaker 11: Listen, Hi, I'm Matt Burke, running to be your next
- 21:24Speaker 11: lieutenant governor of Minnesota. I want to I want to
- 21:27Speaker 11: show you something here.
- 21:29Speaker 2: So dow the number.
- 21:31Speaker 13: Oh, you've reached the Department of Public Safety, Stay at
- 21:33Speaker 13: home Hollands. The information you leave is considered public information
- 21:37Speaker 13: at the toll sus leave the following event you're aim
- 21:42Speaker 13: you're all back number haul a stay at home order
- 21:45Speaker 13: is being violated, and where the stay at home order
- 21:48Speaker 13: was violated.
- 21:49Speaker 4: Thank you.
- 21:53Speaker 13: City.
- 21:54Speaker 4: You came out un com more on.
- 21:57Speaker 11: Yeah, Hi, this is Matt Burke, and I'm just calling.
- 22:00Speaker 11: I'm just kind of wondering why this line is still
- 22:03Speaker 11: operational and why in the first place that our government
- 22:07Speaker 11: was encouraging citizens to rat each other out when they
- 22:11Speaker 11: were violating these stay at home orders. To me, that
- 22:14Speaker 11: really doesn't seem like something that the government should be
- 22:18Speaker 11: involved in. It certainly doesn't sound like like one Minnesota,
- 22:21Speaker 11: which Tim Wallas talks about bringing us, bringing us all together.
- 22:25Speaker 11: He wants citizens to turn on each other and literally
- 22:29Speaker 11: turn each other in. So I would I would greatly
- 22:32Speaker 11: appreciate a call back and and let me know how
- 22:36Speaker 11: this how this fits into this whole unifying message that
- 22:39Speaker 11: Tim Walls and Peggy Flannagan are trying to sell to
- 22:43Speaker 11: Minnesotan's because to me, this just doesn't seem right, and
- 22:46Speaker 11: this really just doesn't seem like great leadership To me,
- 22:49Speaker 11: I don't know, neighbors encouraged to rat out their neighbors
- 22:53Speaker 11: doesn't sound too Minnesotan to me.
- 22:56Speaker 2: Couldn't I couldn't agree more.
- 23:00Speaker 1: Now this guy's walking around and saying, mind your own
- 23:02Speaker 1: damn business. Walt's encouraged Minnesota residents to turn each other
- 23:06Speaker 1: in like East German Stasi agents. A few excerpts from
- 23:11Speaker 1: COVID from Walt's COVID snitch line, just in case you
- 23:15Speaker 1: forgot how insane it was.
- 23:17Speaker 2: How insane was it when he was doing this?
- 23:21Speaker 13: This is a guy.
- 23:22Speaker 1: The email again, I go back to this violations. There
- 23:27Speaker 1: were emails that went out. One of them went to
- 23:31Speaker 1: an individual about these violations. The email is to inform
- 23:35Speaker 1: you you may be a business violating in the state
- 23:36Speaker 1: stay at home order. The business is at ten twenty
- 23:39Speaker 1: five Selby Avenue, Saint Paul This business is Satnaia Fitness.
- 23:46Speaker 1: Almost every day the owner's car is parked in front
- 23:49Speaker 1: of the store, as well as two to three and
- 23:51Speaker 1: sometimes four other cars.
- 23:52Speaker 2: This is mainly happening in the morning hours.
- 23:54Speaker 1: I have witnessed various people entering the business and fitness
- 23:56Speaker 1: attire and seeing.
- 23:58Speaker 2: People using the machines in the store.
- 24:00Speaker 1: There is a chiropractor business next door and maybe a
- 24:02Speaker 1: car to belonging to them. I have witness customers entering
- 24:06Speaker 1: the chiropractor business. Please follow up with this business is
- 24:09Speaker 1: extremely concerning if just a few people are allowed to
- 24:13Speaker 1: work out or train with the owners, as this exposes
- 24:17Speaker 1: us all and not fair to other businesses that are
- 24:19Speaker 1: following the order. Thank you. That's one email that went out.
- 24:23Speaker 1: Here's another one. Hello, I'm writing you today to let
- 24:25Speaker 1: you know about a gathering at a huge church in Burnsville.
- 24:29Speaker 1: They scheduled a confession in person on the fourth I
- 24:32Speaker 1: was not there in person, but I heard that the
- 24:33Speaker 1: lines were over an hour long. They served many senior
- 24:37Speaker 1: citizen members. Mary, mother of church address, go get them right.
- 24:42Speaker 1: This is how you snitch on your neighbors. Hello, thank
- 24:46Speaker 1: you so much for looking at concerns regarding the stay
- 24:48Speaker 1: at home order. There is a softball baseball diamond. Today
- 24:52Speaker 1: I witnessed several young people playing baseball. This is the
- 24:56Speaker 1: corner of South Cross Drive in Westpark Drive Halo Park
- 24:59Speaker 1: in Burnville. Please urge everyone to stay home and stay Say.
- 25:02Speaker 1: If I'm a nurse in a hospital and I'm preparing
- 25:04Speaker 1: for surge patients, hopefully we won't need them, but everyone
- 25:08Speaker 1: needs to do their part.
- 25:10Speaker 2: Go get them. Hello.
- 25:12Speaker 1: On Sunday, April the fifth, the dog park in Bloomington
- 25:15Speaker 1: was packed. Dog owners were congregating at the gate as
- 25:18Speaker 1: well as the throughout the park. This must be shut down, really, Okay,
- 25:23Speaker 1: So this is what we're doing now, this is this
- 25:27Speaker 1: is how we're doing this. We're gonna just turn in
- 25:30Speaker 1: people because apparently that's just how this works.
- 25:34Speaker 2: Now. We turn in people. We turn them in, We
- 25:38Speaker 2: nail them, right, we stick it to them.
- 25:42Speaker 1: This is just a few of the excerpts from Waltch's
- 25:44Speaker 1: COVID snitche line, just in case you figure out how
- 25:46Speaker 1: insane it was.
- 25:48Speaker 4: This is.
- 25:49Speaker 1: This is this is how crazy, this is how psychotic
- 25:52Speaker 1: these people are. I don't know what else to tell you,
- 25:56Speaker 1: I really don't, But what I do know is is
- 26:00Speaker 1: when you have people that act this way and do this.
- 26:03Speaker 2: You should be very very very very very very very
- 26:06Speaker 2: very concerned.
- 26:09Speaker 1: COVID is an issue that is not being talked about
- 26:11Speaker 1: lockdowns and what they would do if there's another pandemic.
- 26:14Speaker 2: I also think most of us believe.
- 26:18Speaker 1: That COVID is something another lockdown could easily happen, another
- 26:24Speaker 1: pandemic could easily happen.
- 26:26Speaker 2: Like I believe that.
- 26:27Speaker 1: Joe Biden, by the way, did brag at the United
- 26:30Speaker 1: Nations a few days ago, and what he said at
- 26:33Speaker 1: the United Nations about COVID was this on day one.
- 26:37Speaker 6: Today, my country is finally on track to cut emissions
- 26:42Speaker 6: in half by twenty thirty, on track to honor my
- 26:47Speaker 6: pledge to quadruple climbate financing to developing.
- 26:50Speaker 4: Nations with eleven billion dollars.
- 26:53Speaker 6: Thus far this year, we've rejoined the World Health Organization
- 26:57Speaker 6: donated seven hundred million doses of COVID vaccine two hundred
- 27:02Speaker 6: and seventeen countries. We must now move quickly to face
- 27:05Speaker 6: empox outbreak in Africa. We're prepared to commit five hundred
- 27:10Speaker 6: million dollars help africa countries prevent and respond to MPOs
- 27:14Speaker 6: into non eight one million doses of mpox vaccine.
- 27:18Speaker 1: Now, I mean at the un I guess this is
- 27:24Speaker 1: where you just get all excited, right, You're okay, Hey,
- 27:27Speaker 1: this is what I do. There is also undercover video
- 27:30Speaker 1: recently of an ex New York City COVID zar fired
- 27:33Speaker 1: after admitted to attending a banned private gathering during the pandemic.
- 27:38Speaker 1: What was the private gathering during the pandemic? Tonight, I'm
- 27:44Speaker 1: going to read this. New York City's former covids are
- 27:46Speaker 1: fired from his private sector job after he's caught on
- 27:49Speaker 1: hidden camera admitting he attended multiple sex parties during the
- 27:53Speaker 1: pandemic and defiance of his own public safety protocols. Do
- 27:57Speaker 1: you think you'd have gotten like a hard time if
- 28:00Speaker 1: the population, like in New York City found out that
- 28:02Speaker 1: you were having sex parties during COVID Yeah, it would
- 28:05Speaker 1: have been a big deal, he said.
- 28:08Speaker 2: Doctor j Varma appears have been.
- 28:10Speaker 1: Secretly recorded in the heavily edited undercover video released by
- 28:13Speaker 1: conservative podcaster Stephen Crowder.
- 28:16Speaker 2: Now, I want to play this audio from you in
- 28:19Speaker 2: its entirety. This is all of it here. It is
- 28:23Speaker 2: take a listen.
- 28:24Speaker 14: Tonight, New York City's former COVID zar fired from his
- 28:27Speaker 14: private sector job after he was caught on hidden camera
- 28:31Speaker 14: admitting he attended multiple sex parties during the pandemic in
- 28:34Speaker 14: defiance of his own public safety protocols.
- 28:37Speaker 9: Do you think you'd have gotten like a hard time
- 28:39Speaker 9: if like the popular like New York City, found out.
- 28:42Speaker 2: That you're having second party during COVID?
- 28:46Speaker 14: Doctor J. Varma appears to have been secretly recorded in
- 28:49Speaker 14: this heavily edited undercover video released by conservative podcaster Stephen Crowder.
- 28:54Speaker 14: In this clip, discussing taking MDMA and aware that his actions,
- 28:58Speaker 14: if made public, would be deemed hypocritical.
- 29:01Speaker 4: We're all rolling, we're all taking Mollie, and everyone's high.
- 29:04Speaker 1: And I was so happy because it hadn't done that
- 29:07Speaker 1: in like a year and a half, like a year
- 29:09Speaker 1: or whatever.
- 29:10Speaker 4: But I was looking around you, I wonder if.
- 29:14Speaker 14: Because this is not Varma was a high profile senior
- 29:17Speaker 14: public health advisor during then Mayor Build A Blasio's administration,
- 29:21Speaker 14: making daily appearances.
- 29:23Speaker 6: I was.
- 29:25Speaker 13: Press conference and every day for a year and a half.
- 29:27Speaker 14: Every morning, instructing the public to stay home and practice
- 29:31Speaker 14: social distancing.
- 29:33Speaker 7: Need to be cautious about introducing a high risk activity
- 29:36Speaker 7: into a place that we know is vulnerable.
- 29:37Speaker 14: Varma was also instrumental in helping the mayor craft the
- 29:40Speaker 14: city's vaccine policy.
- 29:42Speaker 8: But if you're unvaccinated, unfortunately, you will not be able
- 29:45Speaker 8: to participate in many things.
- 29:46Speaker 4: That's the point we're trying to get across.
- 29:47Speaker 14: Which even kept Brooklyn Nets star Kyrie Erring off the
- 29:50Speaker 14: court after he refused to get the shot.
- 29:53Speaker 4: I just think he was as because he's like trying
- 29:56Speaker 4: to like, I'm not in a position. Did you tellt
- 30:00Speaker 4: him how to drimble letter or how to shoot better?
- 30:03Speaker 14: Don't tell me like how to science, premens Varma, issuing
- 30:06Speaker 14: a statement Friday in light of the videos release, saying,
- 30:09Speaker 14: in part, unfortunately, I was targeted by an operative for
- 30:12Speaker 14: an extremist right wing organization determined to malign public health
- 30:16Speaker 14: officials and take down the public health system in America.
- 30:20Speaker 14: Varma also admitting he took part in two public gatherings,
- 30:23Speaker 14: saying I take responsibility for not using the best judgment
- 30:27Speaker 14: at the time. The fallout leading to termination from his
- 30:30Speaker 14: job at Siga Technologies, a pharmaceutical company where he served
- 30:34Speaker 14: as executive vice president and chief medical officer. The company
- 30:37Speaker 14: did not respond to multiple requests for comment. A spokesperson
- 30:41Speaker 14: for Varma would not comment on the firing.
- 30:43Speaker 4: My god, what a hypocrite.
- 30:44Speaker 14: He is one Democratic city council member not holding back
- 30:48Speaker 14: slamming Varma.
- 30:49Speaker 4: Well he's caught. He's blaming the right wing media.
- 30:52Speaker 2: I mean, this guy is what a third bag.
- 30:54Speaker 14: A city spokesperson confirming in a statement Varma is not
- 30:57Speaker 14: and has never been a member of the current and administration.
- 31:00Speaker 14: While some are calling on Mayor Eric Adams to retroactively
- 31:03Speaker 14: compensate city workers who were fired for violating COVID mandates,
- 31:08Speaker 14: Varma helped put in place.
- 31:09Speaker 7: People chose not to follow those rules, and his behavior
- 31:13Speaker 7: doesn't change the fact that we save lives because.
- 31:17Speaker 2: Of the rules that were put in place.
- 31:19Speaker 15: All Right, Valdi castro joins us down values to cut
- 31:21Speaker 15: these things up here. So he's fired from his job
- 31:24Speaker 15: whatever he was working at recently.
- 31:27Speaker 2: He worked with the Diblas.
- 31:28Speaker 15: Administration, not the Adams administration. But you were pointing out,
- 31:31Speaker 15: like in your piece, some people had to resign or
- 31:33Speaker 15: were fired because of their behavior during COVID, while this
- 31:35Speaker 15: guy's out there, I think people.
- 31:37Speaker 3: Lost their businesses when they refuse to follow some of
- 31:40Speaker 3: these COVID protocols that were put in place by doctor Varmas.
- 31:44Speaker 3: Some city council members are calling for there to be
- 31:47Speaker 3: an investigation into all of that what happened, But again
- 31:50Speaker 3: Mayor Adams kind of shying away from willing to compensate
- 31:54Speaker 3: anyone who may have lost their jobs during that time.
- 31:56Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, I love this. Like now, we're not going
- 31:58Speaker 2: to help anybodyouse that lost their job? Would we do that?
- 32:01Speaker 1: Yeah, there's nothing to see here. Let me let me
- 32:05Speaker 1: also say one more thing about this. Do you remember
- 32:09Speaker 1: how we fired a bunch of the best and I
- 32:12Speaker 1: mean the best in our military for not getting the vaccine.
- 32:16Speaker 2: Do you remember that? And we wouldn't let anybody like
- 32:19Speaker 2: you know, have a reason to not get the vaccine.
- 32:24Speaker 2: Remember that? Remember that when that was a thing. Yeah,
- 32:27Speaker 2: I do. You want to know how many those people
- 32:30Speaker 2: have got their jobs back? Zero?
- 32:33Speaker 1: Because the Biden Harris administration refuses to reinstate those individuals
- 32:38Speaker 1: who they fired, who lost their job, that were serving
- 32:41Speaker 1: in our military. They're willing to risk our lives, but
- 32:43Speaker 1: they didn't want to take the vaccine. They were willing
- 32:46Speaker 1: to risk their lives. That's what you're that's what you're
- 32:50Speaker 1: gonna say. Now, really make sure you share this podcast
- 32:55Speaker 1: with your family and your friends, and I'll see you
- 32:57Speaker 1: back here tomorrow
