Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: There's a guy by the name of John Kerry. He's
- 0:02Speaker 1: kind of a big deal. Remember, this is the Climate TSAR,
- 0:05Speaker 1: a new made up position that we've decided our government needs.
- 0:10Speaker 1: And he got that gig from his good old pal
- 0:13Speaker 1: Joe Biden, who said, you need to go out there
- 0:16Speaker 1: and you need to make sure that we get America
- 0:20Speaker 1: back in line with a climate He said, I gotcha.
- 0:24Speaker 1: I'm gonna go get on a private jet right now,
- 0:27Speaker 1: and I'm gonna haul it around the world to take
- 0:29Speaker 1: this Climate Czar position to the world. I'm gonna make
- 0:33Speaker 1: it happen. I'm gonna I'm gonna get on this, mister President.
- 0:36Speaker 1: And so he did. Not only did he jump on
- 0:38Speaker 1: those private jets, because that's what you do when you're
- 0:42Speaker 1: the climates are destroying the world and the environment through
- 0:45Speaker 1: your private jet flights. He then got busted for it.
- 0:50Speaker 1: He said, well, hold on a second, I'm not busted.
- 0:52Speaker 1: I'm different than you. I'm totally different than you. You
- 0:56Speaker 1: need to understand that I deserve and I need to
- 0:59Speaker 1: fly on a private jet because I'm not a little
- 1:02Speaker 1: commoner like you are. See, it's different for me. I'm
- 1:05Speaker 1: a different kind of person. I'm more important than you.
- 1:09Speaker 1: I'm more special than you are. I have got to
- 1:12Speaker 1: do this, right, I have to find a private jet
- 1:15Speaker 1: because I am the guy. Well that backfired, so now
- 1:18Speaker 1: he's really been forced to become a commoner. He has
- 1:22Speaker 1: been forced to now fly first class. Yes, because well
- 1:27Speaker 1: he's a big deal. Now, don't worry. He's only doing
- 1:29Speaker 1: this on extremely short flights, right, He's doing it from
- 1:32Speaker 1: places like Boston. From Boston to washing DC, Boston a
- 1:37Speaker 1: DC flight time, it's not very long. It's a short flight.
- 1:40Speaker 1: So he can suck it up and deal with a
- 1:43Speaker 1: commercial flight for a very short short flight. Now, if
- 1:47Speaker 1: you want to know what the Boston to DC flight
- 1:52Speaker 1: time is, you can do a simple Google search. The
- 1:56Speaker 1: average flight time is about an hour and a half,
- 1:58Speaker 1: depending on which line that you want to go. It's
- 2:02Speaker 1: only six hundred and sixty kilometers. It takes about an
- 2:06Speaker 1: hour and twenty three minutes for the average flight. I
- 2:09Speaker 1: just this is coming from flight dot com telling you
- 2:12Speaker 1: an hour and twenty three minutes. So what happened is
- 2:17Speaker 1: is John Kerry, the guy who's gonna save us from
- 2:19Speaker 1: climate change, he humbled himself to become a minion on
- 2:23Speaker 1: one of these little dinky flights and he got busted
- 2:26Speaker 1: doing something that usually gets kids kicked off a plane.
- 2:30Speaker 1: Certainly adults kicked off a plane. He wasn't wearing his
- 2:35Speaker 1: mask in first class before the flight even took off. Yeah,
- 2:40Speaker 1: he wasn't even wearing the mask. Now, that should immediately
- 2:43Speaker 1: be the end of view. Right, game over. You should
- 2:47Speaker 1: be banned from flying on airlines because other people have
- 2:51Speaker 1: been banned for flying on airlines for not wearing their mask.
- 2:56Speaker 1: Children have been kicked off flights, Families have been kicked
- 3:00Speaker 1: golf flights because their children, including some children that have autism,
- 3:05Speaker 1: were booted from planes because they weren't wearing their mask.
- 3:09Speaker 1: We've all seen the videos. Did John Kerry get kicked
- 3:12Speaker 1: off a plane? Of course not. Did anybody come up
- 3:15Speaker 1: to him and tell him you got to put your
- 3:16Speaker 1: mask back on? No, because he's John carry and John
- 3:21Speaker 1: Kerry can do whatever John Carey wants to, because he's
- 3:24Speaker 1: kind of a big deal. John Kerry is the man, right,
- 3:28Speaker 1: John Carey's the guy. John Kerry is the person that
- 3:32Speaker 1: you can't even think about going up to and telling
- 3:37Speaker 1: him he has to play by the rules that we
- 3:40Speaker 1: play by. So let me give you the entire story
- 3:44Speaker 1: of how all this went down. It's amazing. John Kerry,
- 3:50Speaker 1: the US Special Presidential Envoy for Climate sitting in first class,
- 3:55Speaker 1: took his mask off yesterday as he settled into his book.
- 4:00Speaker 1: He was reading a book moments before his American Airlines
- 4:03Speaker 1: flight to Boston to DC took off the so called
- 4:07Speaker 1: clime and Envoy was not eating nor drinking. No food
- 4:11Speaker 1: or beverage was in front of him, even though first
- 4:14Speaker 1: class passengers are often served before takeoff. And I know
- 4:18Speaker 1: that this has not been happening right. They've figured out
- 4:21Speaker 1: a way to go cheap and first class. I fly
- 4:23Speaker 1: a lot, and I get upgrade a lot because I
- 4:26Speaker 1: fly so much to first class. Sometimes even pay for
- 4:29Speaker 1: it because you know, I'm gonna lead us like that.
- 4:32Speaker 1: They don't give you anything to drink now before the
- 4:34Speaker 1: flight takes off. They figured out a way to save
- 4:36Speaker 1: themselves the seventeen cents that would cost to give them you,
- 4:40Speaker 1: you know, a glass of coke or water whatever. So
- 4:45Speaker 1: in a February first press release, the airline that John
- 4:49Speaker 1: Carey's flying on without the mask on, American Airlines was
- 4:54Speaker 1: thrilled with the mask requirements that had come out with
- 4:57Speaker 1: the US government mandate, and the airline's chief operating officer,
- 5:01Speaker 1: David Seymour, said American Airlines would fully comply with President
- 5:07Speaker 1: Joe Biden's mask regulations. He said at the time, quote,
- 5:11Speaker 1: our mask requirement has been and will continue to be
- 5:14Speaker 1: a critical component of our comprehensive effort to protect the
- 5:18Speaker 1: health and wellbeing of our customers and team members during
- 5:21Speaker 1: the pandemic. Quote. This federal mandate will provide additional support
- 5:27Speaker 1: to our crew members who are working diligently to enforce
- 5:32Speaker 1: our policy and further reinforce the safety of air travel
- 5:36Speaker 1: during COVID nineteen. American Airlines the same airline that allow
- 5:40Speaker 1: John Carey to fly without his mask during the flight,
- 5:43Speaker 1: reading a book before they even took off. Of course,
- 5:46Speaker 1: for you and I, we could lose our right to
- 5:48Speaker 1: fly on their airline forever. Quote. As before, customers are
- 5:53Speaker 1: required to wear masks for the duration of their journey,
- 5:57Speaker 1: including at the airport and on board the aircraft. So
- 6:01Speaker 1: right away, John Carey's not in compliance, but hey, he's
- 6:04Speaker 1: John Kerry. He's better than you. Children under the age
- 6:07Speaker 1: of two will continue to be exempt from the mask requirement.
- 6:10Speaker 1: The American Airlines press release stated from February the first.
- 6:14Speaker 1: The press release goes on to say, consistent with US
- 6:17Speaker 1: government directives, individuals who refuse to wear a mask may
- 6:20Speaker 1: be denied boarding to American Airline flights or removed from
- 6:24Speaker 1: the aircraft, or subject to penalties under federal law, in
- 6:29Speaker 1: addition to being barred from future travel with American Airlines. Okay, hey,
- 6:35Speaker 1: what's up, American Airlines? Just curious you're gonna do anything
- 6:38Speaker 1: about John Kerry because John Kerry didn't follow your rules.
- 6:41Speaker 1: You're gonna kick him off future American Airline flights. Which
- 6:44Speaker 1: maybe that's what John Kerry wants, because then he can
- 6:46Speaker 1: justify being the climates are flying on private jets. In
- 6:51Speaker 1: his March eleventh Address to the Nation, to quote Joe Biden,
- 6:55Speaker 1: he said, quote, we need everyone to get vaccinated, We
- 6:59Speaker 1: need every wanted to keep washing their hands, we need
- 7:02Speaker 1: everyone to stay socially distanced, and we need everyone to
- 7:05Speaker 1: keep wearing the mask because recommended by the CDC. John carry,
- 7:11Speaker 1: what up? Why aren't you doing anything? Just asking for
- 7:14Speaker 1: a whole bunch of Americans? Why are you not wearing
- 7:17Speaker 1: your maskky? American Airlines? You're gonna boot him from the flight,
- 7:19Speaker 1: are you gonna kick him off future flights. You're gonna
- 7:21Speaker 1: say his banned from flying on American airlines. Just asking
- 7:25Speaker 1: for millions of Americans who are wonder why you have
- 7:28Speaker 1: such an elitist, white privileged man like John Carey being
- 7:33Speaker 1: able to get away with this white privilege Folks, John Carey,
- 7:37Speaker 1: rich liberal white para privilege on full display. I'm waiting
- 7:41Speaker 1: for all the BLM and all the racist people out there,
- 7:44Speaker 1: the people that love to scream racism. Might you stay
- 7:46Speaker 1: to be screaming in this as racist right? How a
- 7:48Speaker 1: black man couldn't get away with this, An Asian man
- 7:50Speaker 1: couldn't get away with this, The Hispanic man couldn't get
- 7:52Speaker 1: away with this? Well, guess what a white liberal can.
- 7:55Speaker 1: I wonder what doctor Fauci would have to say about
- 7:58Speaker 1: this mask not being worn by John Kerry. I wonder
- 8:04Speaker 1: if this means now that John Carey, since he refused
- 8:06Speaker 1: to wear the mask, is as Joe Biden would put
- 8:08Speaker 1: a neanderthal, right, and a neanderthal of his own cabinet,
- 8:14Speaker 1: of his own administration because he wasn't wearing his mask.
- 8:17Speaker 1: Let me rewind for you just three days ago, when
- 8:20Speaker 1: doctor Fauci was asked to come on CNN's New Day
- 8:25Speaker 1: talking about the Neanderthals in this country who don't wear masks,
- 8:29Speaker 1: and these masks mandate orders that are disappearing from states
- 8:32Speaker 1: that actually understand freedom, like Texas, Arkansas, Florida and others.
- 8:37Speaker 1: Take a listen to what doctor Fouchi had to say,
- 8:40Speaker 1: and the entire time you're listening to this, I want
- 8:43Speaker 1: you to apply it all to John Kerry. John Kerry,
- 8:47Speaker 1: who's in the administration. John Kerry's the climates are John Kerry,
- 8:50Speaker 1: who's the elitist that must fly in private jets, but
- 8:53Speaker 1: when he does, and he flies first class and he
- 8:54Speaker 1: doesn't wear his mask against the very and I think
- 8:57Speaker 1: both of those are going to be promising. Got a
- 8:59Speaker 1: couple more us that I'm running out of time here.
- 9:01Speaker 1: When you see Texas lifting its max mandates, when you
- 9:03Speaker 1: see pictures from Idaho of kids burning masks and the
- 9:07Speaker 1: same being called for in Texas, what's your reaction to that?
- 9:11Speaker 1: You know, it's it's concerned, John. I mean, we understand
- 9:16Speaker 1: people's need to get back to normal, and we are
- 9:19Speaker 1: going in that direction. But when you stop doing things
- 9:22Speaker 1: like completely putting aside all public health measures as if
- 9:26Speaker 1: you're turning a light switch off. That's quite risky. We
- 9:30Speaker 1: don't want to see another surge, and that's inviting one
- 9:33Speaker 1: when you do that. We know that you had threats
- 9:37Speaker 1: to you and your family over the last year, and
- 9:40Speaker 1: for much of the last year you had security. Has
- 9:43Speaker 1: that changed at all or what has the change been?
- 9:45Speaker 1: But I'll just sat there. I love how they ask
- 9:47Speaker 1: him this one question about the mask, So like, okay,
- 9:49Speaker 1: move on. You've been threatened, Fouchy. You're a victim of
- 9:53Speaker 1: the evil Trump people in the world. Don't you understand that, Hey,
- 9:59Speaker 1: fouch on stage dropping masks mandate, it's another surge coming, folks,
- 10:03Speaker 1: another surge. Okay, well, then why aren't you yelling at
- 10:06Speaker 1: John Kerry for putting people's lives at risk? He could
- 10:09Speaker 1: have had COVID on that plane and infected countless people
- 10:12Speaker 1: on that plane because he wasn't wearing a mask, because
- 10:14Speaker 1: he is nothing more than a liberal, white racist, right,
- 10:18Speaker 1: this is white privilege here. When you see Texas lifting
- 10:21Speaker 1: his masks mandates, when you see pictures from Idaho of
- 10:24Speaker 1: kids burning masks and the same being called for in Texas,
- 10:28Speaker 1: what's your reaction to that? You know it's concerned John
- 10:33Speaker 1: I mean, we understand people's need to get back to normal,
- 10:38Speaker 1: and we are going in that direction. But when you
- 10:40Speaker 1: stop doing things like completely putting aside all public health measures,
- 10:45Speaker 1: as if you're turning a light switch off, that's quite risky.
- 10:49Speaker 1: We don't want to see another surge, and that's inviting
- 10:52Speaker 1: one when you do that. So again, let's go back
- 10:55Speaker 1: and apply all this to John Kerry, all of this
- 10:59Speaker 1: to John Kerry, all public health meshes as if you're
- 11:02Speaker 1: turning a light switch off, that's quite risky. We don't
- 11:06Speaker 1: want to see another surge, and that so John Kerry
- 11:10Speaker 1: is putting americans lives at risk. Quoting doctor Fauci, who
- 11:13Speaker 1: is the god of all things COVID because John Kerry
- 11:17Speaker 1: has said so. But when you stopped doing things like
- 11:19Speaker 1: completely putting aside all public health meshes, so he was
- 11:24Speaker 1: putting aside all public health measures, he's putting people's lives
- 11:27Speaker 1: at risk. So John Kerry was trying to kill people
- 11:29Speaker 1: on a plane. That should be the headline that liberals
- 11:32Speaker 1: should be running with this morning. John Kerry tried to
- 11:35Speaker 1: kill you on an airplane. If a Republican would have
- 11:39Speaker 1: done this, that's exactly what they would have said, they
- 11:42Speaker 1: would have said exactly that. Remember when people were trying
- 11:44Speaker 1: to take pictures of wouldn't at Ted Cruz and he
- 11:47Speaker 1: was actually eating or drinking with his mask off on
- 11:49Speaker 1: a plane, and people were trying to nail him, and
- 11:51Speaker 1: the media went wall to all coverage. Well, John Kerry
- 11:54Speaker 1: wasn't even eating or drinking. Hell, the guy was just
- 11:56Speaker 1: reading a book and his mask was annoying. He was
- 12:00Speaker 1: trying to kill you, folks. That is the headline we need.
- 12:03Speaker 1: John Kerry tries to kill you on a plane. I'll
- 12:06Speaker 1: keep waiting for the headline because you know that headline
- 12:09Speaker 1: is coming. You know they're gonna cover it this way.
- 12:12Speaker 1: So let's go back to Biden real quick. Right, Let's
- 12:16Speaker 1: let's talk about Biden and the Neanderthal's comment. Biden in
- 12:24Speaker 1: the Neanderthals comment is one of the best ones I've
- 12:27Speaker 1: ever seen. If you don't wear a mask, you are
- 12:31Speaker 1: a neanderthal. That's what you are. You are a neanderthal.
- 12:43Speaker 1: Are you calling now John Kerry a neanderthal? Is that
- 12:48Speaker 1: what he is? Is he a public health risk? Let's
- 12:53Speaker 1: go back to what American Airlines is going to do
- 12:55Speaker 1: about this, right, because American Airlines should be all in
- 12:59Speaker 1: on stop him from trying to kill all of us.
- 13:03Speaker 1: I think you all know how sarcastic I'm being right now.
- 13:06Speaker 1: As before, customers are required to wear masks for the
- 13:09Speaker 1: duration of their journey, including at the airport on board
- 13:12Speaker 1: the aircraft. Children in the age of two are the
- 13:13Speaker 1: only ones exempt from this. And if you don't do
- 13:16Speaker 1: what we tell you to do, if you refuse to
- 13:17Speaker 1: wear that mask, you will be denied boarding, removal from
- 13:20Speaker 1: the aircraft, subject to penalties under federal law, and addition
- 13:23Speaker 1: of being barred from future travel with American airlines. March eleventh,
- 13:29Speaker 1: Biden to the nation, we need everyone to get vaccinated.
- 13:31Speaker 1: We need everyone to keep wearing washing their hands, staying
- 13:34Speaker 1: socially distance. Hold on a second, Carrie just broke that
- 13:37Speaker 1: rule because he's sitting next to some random dude that's
- 13:40Speaker 1: not even a foot from him. They're like having elbow
- 13:43Speaker 1: sex with one another on the arm rest. There. He's
- 13:45Speaker 1: got people in front of him less than six feet apart,
- 13:48Speaker 1: beside him less than six ft apart, behind him less
- 13:51Speaker 1: than six feet apart. What happened here? CDC. By the way,
- 13:59Speaker 1: he issued on j anywhere the twenty ninth, they bide
- 14:01Speaker 1: an order under its authority from the Public Health Act
- 14:04Speaker 1: that became effective February of the second, which reads, in
- 14:07Speaker 1: part quote, people must wear a mask that cover both
- 14:09Speaker 1: the mouth and nose. Broke that rule when awaiting, boarding,
- 14:13Speaker 1: traveling on, or disembarking public transportation airplanes. People must also
- 14:19Speaker 1: wear a mask when entering or on the premise of
- 14:22Speaker 1: a transportation hub in the United States America. That would
- 14:24Speaker 1: be the airport broke that rule. The order also specifically
- 14:28Speaker 1: rules out what doesn't count as a face covering like
- 14:30Speaker 1: ski mask, scarves, bandanas, sweatshirt collars, turtleneck collars. Those don't work. Okay,
- 14:38Speaker 1: So let's go back to American Airlines. Why are you
- 14:42Speaker 1: not saving all of our lives? American Airline, Why were
- 14:44Speaker 1: you allowing a white, liberal, white privileged man by the
- 14:47Speaker 1: name of John Carry to try to kill all of
- 14:49Speaker 1: us on your airplane. He's been busted for not wearing
- 14:52Speaker 1: a mask, American Airline says, quote, we're looking into it.
- 14:57Speaker 1: That's it. The passenger, by the way he took the
- 15:00Speaker 1: photo of the climate is art, says being an elite
- 15:02Speaker 1: hypocrite is hard work. That's right. There were people that
- 15:06Speaker 1: figured out who put the original post up there, and
- 15:10Speaker 1: they asked. Fox News caught up with that person who
- 15:13Speaker 1: snapped the photo to confirm its authenticity. The individual who
- 15:16Speaker 1: wished to remain anonymous, did give a nice quote to
- 15:18Speaker 1: the outlet, saying, quote, I salute our very special presidential
- 15:23Speaker 1: Envoy for Climate for not flying private but instead flying
- 15:27Speaker 1: first class commercial with the rest of us common folk.
- 15:32Speaker 1: And while he can't bring himself to follow his own
- 15:34Speaker 1: parties at mass restrictions, we should cut him some slack.
- 15:39Speaker 1: Being an elite hypocrite is hard work. The Washington Examiner
- 15:45Speaker 1: reported the centrass Control and Prevention issue in order that
- 15:47Speaker 1: went into effect last month that requires pastors to where
- 15:50Speaker 1: that to wear mass that cover the mouth and the nose.
- 15:55Speaker 1: American Airlines again issue to press release saying that the
- 15:58Speaker 1: company would fully comply with a new federal mandate, noting
- 16:01Speaker 1: that the regulation will also help its employees enforcing the rules.
- 16:04Speaker 1: I guess and don't enforce it for this guy. But
- 16:06Speaker 1: if you've got a kid that has you know, autism
- 16:09Speaker 1: and has a hard time wanting to wear a mask,
- 16:10Speaker 1: we'll kick you off a plane. You got a kid
- 16:13Speaker 1: that's over the age of two that won't put the
- 16:15Speaker 1: mask on, even while sleeping on your shoulder. We'll kick
- 16:18Speaker 1: you off the plane while going to Disney. Going to Disney,
- 16:27Speaker 1: you know, I flew with my son, he's four, and
- 16:31Speaker 1: he pulled down his mask to ask me a question
- 16:34Speaker 1: while we were actually flying, like where it's loud in
- 16:36Speaker 1: the tube, and the lady jumped up right over. Excuse me,
- 16:40Speaker 1: you gotta tell your child to whip his mask on.
- 16:42Speaker 1: And I had to look at my son, go, hey, buddy,
- 16:44Speaker 1: you're gonna have talk louder to daddy. Don't pull your
- 16:46Speaker 1: mask off to ask me a question. John Kerry, Please, sir,
- 16:54Speaker 1: with your liberal white privilege, sit there. Please just sit
- 16:58Speaker 1: there and make sure you're comfortable while reading your book,
- 17:02Speaker 1: not eating or drinking. We won't kick you off because
- 17:05Speaker 1: we know you're kind of a big deal. You're important. You, sir,
- 17:11Speaker 1: cannot have your mask on. And again, American Airlines, you
- 17:14Speaker 1: think they're gonna ban him from flying? Of course not.
- 17:16Speaker 1: We're looking into it. Where they're gonna do put out
- 17:18Speaker 1: a letter. They'll probably put out a statement saying, you know,
- 17:21Speaker 1: we want to make sure that everyone knows this is
- 17:22Speaker 1: unacceptable behavior. They'll probably actually run it by John Carey
- 17:25Speaker 1: first to make sure he's okay with the statement, or
- 17:28Speaker 1: the government's okay with the statement, because they don't want
- 17:31Speaker 1: to run a foul the Biden administrators. They don't want
- 17:33Speaker 1: to make they don't want to make other white privilege
- 17:35Speaker 1: elite liberals like John Carey angry or feeling welcome on
- 17:37Speaker 1: their planes. That is something they won't do. Meanwhile, we
- 17:45Speaker 1: have restaurant owners being arrested, people going to the banks
- 17:49Speaker 1: in this country being arrested for not wearing their masks,
- 17:52Speaker 1: and normal citizens are under attack for not wearing masks.
- 17:57Speaker 1: Let me give you a perfect example of just how
- 17:59Speaker 1: hard come down on people that aren't John Kerry not
- 18:02Speaker 1: wearing their mask on an airplane. There is a guy
- 18:05Speaker 1: who owns a restaurant, a Virginia restaurant owner who has said,
- 18:10Speaker 1: I've had enough of these mask mandate and I'm not
- 18:14Speaker 1: wearing him and neither is my staff. And if you
- 18:16Speaker 1: don't want to eat here, then don't eat here. And business,
- 18:19Speaker 1: by the way, is booming for this guy because people
- 18:21Speaker 1: feel safe walking into his restaurant where his staff is
- 18:24Speaker 1: not wearing a mask. He said enough enough of this.
- 18:29Speaker 1: Take a listen to this incredible story of one business
- 18:31Speaker 1: owner said, I am going to fight back Tonight's a
- 18:35Speaker 1: Virginia restaurant owner openly defying health authorities. Now the fate
- 18:40Speaker 1: of his business lies with a judge. And for more
- 18:43Speaker 1: than a month now, the owner of Gourmelt's restaurant in
- 18:46Speaker 1: Fredericksburg has refused to make his workers where face coverings,
- 18:50Speaker 1: and now the state is suing to have that restaurant closed.
- 18:53Speaker 1: All New at five thirty, brucely Shand reports a judge
- 18:56Speaker 1: has promised to decide his fate within days. Matt Strickland
- 19:02Speaker 1: has spent more than five years building his business from
- 19:05Speaker 1: food truck to what is now a pretty big restaurant,
- 19:10Speaker 1: but all of this is now at risk because Strickland
- 19:14Speaker 1: refuses to comply with Virginia's mandates on masking and social distancing.
- 19:21Speaker 1: Inside mandate's designed to slow the spread of a virus
- 19:25Speaker 1: that has now killed more than a half million Americans.
- 19:28Speaker 1: I'm not scared of the state. I'm not scared of
- 19:30Speaker 1: the federal government. I spent most of my adult life
- 19:33Speaker 1: fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan. I have no problem with
- 19:36Speaker 1: coming home and fighting here in Virginia. By the way,
- 19:38Speaker 1: I love this guy already It's a guy that went
- 19:40Speaker 1: and fought for his country in Iraq and Afghanistan. He
- 19:43Speaker 1: comes back and just wants to open a restaurant called
- 19:48Speaker 1: Gore Melts. He starts it with a food truck. This
- 19:51Speaker 1: is the American dream. And this guy says, I fought
- 19:55Speaker 1: for this country. I'm not a faid of frightening and
- 19:57Speaker 1: fighting America when there's some really stupid rules out there.
- 20:01Speaker 1: I spent most of my adult life fighting in Iraq
- 20:04Speaker 1: and Afghanistan. I have no problem with coming home and
- 20:06Speaker 1: fighting here in Virginia. Inside the restaurant and bar on
- 20:10Speaker 1: Route one, not a mask insite, not on the workers,
- 20:13Speaker 1: not on the customers sitting at the bar, despite the
- 20:16Speaker 1: Health Department's orders that no one is allowed to sit
- 20:19Speaker 1: there and that all employees must wear masks. Even some
- 20:24Speaker 1: of his customers are skeptical. That's kind of stupid the best.
- 20:27Speaker 1: It's not a big deal. You should wear a mask.
- 20:29Speaker 1: Do you do what the government says just because they
- 20:31Speaker 1: say so. They'll keep taking, they keep taking, and the
- 20:34Speaker 1: things that you give them you'll never get back. Dude.
- 20:37Speaker 1: Not all heroes, by the way, wear a mask, right.
- 20:41Speaker 1: This guy literally is my hero of the day. He's right.
- 20:46Speaker 1: He's saying, after a year of all of this crap
- 20:49Speaker 1: and all these arbitrary rules, I should be able to decide,
- 20:53Speaker 1: and my customers should be decide what they want to
- 20:55Speaker 1: do and what's best for them, which I do agree
- 20:58Speaker 1: with the premise of this. If freedom means that at
- 21:04Speaker 1: some point you give people the decision, the choice right,
- 21:08Speaker 1: the same way that we have people that decide no shirt,
- 21:10Speaker 1: no shoes, no service. If I walk into a restaurant
- 21:15Speaker 1: after a year of knowing what's going on with COVID,
- 21:17Speaker 1: there's a certain point where I should get to decide
- 21:20Speaker 1: what I want to do and where I want to
- 21:21Speaker 1: take my dollars and where I want to spend my money.
- 21:24Speaker 1: And if I walk into a restaurant and I feel
- 21:26Speaker 1: uncomfortable in that restaurant because their employees are not wearing masks,
- 21:31Speaker 1: then ultimately the free market will decide. Freedom of choice
- 21:34Speaker 1: will decide whether this guy makes it or whether this
- 21:38Speaker 1: guy folds. If he makes the wrong business decision, you
- 21:43Speaker 1: can even argue the wrong public health decision, then his
- 21:47Speaker 1: restaurant will be judged by society instead of a government mandate.
- 21:52Speaker 1: And the point that he's making is we've had enough.
- 21:54Speaker 1: We know enough. Everybody knows what's going on now. I
- 21:57Speaker 1: also go back to the hypocrisy, and this is part
- 22:00Speaker 1: of the reason why guys like this that have fought
- 22:02Speaker 1: and defended American freedoms in Iraq and Afghanistan comes back
- 22:05Speaker 1: to Americans. Says no, no, no no, no, no, no no.
- 22:07Speaker 1: You guys have gone too far. I've had enough of
- 22:09Speaker 1: this and I'm not going with it anymore. He understands
- 22:12Speaker 1: what so many other sheep are refusing to understand. You
- 22:17Speaker 1: gotta draw a line in the sand somewhere, and he's
- 22:20Speaker 1: willing to be that sacrificial lamb. God bless him for
- 22:23Speaker 1: doing it. He's right. Americans should be able to decide
- 22:30Speaker 1: at this point. We know the risk of not wearing
- 22:32Speaker 1: a mask. I wear a mask. I'll tell exactly why
- 22:35Speaker 1: I wear a mask, because I'm around people they're fighting cancer.
- 22:38Speaker 1: And by the way, there's people they're gonna call me,
- 22:40Speaker 1: and there's gonna people they're gonna tweet at me and
- 22:41Speaker 1: send me comments on Telegram and everywhere else in social
- 22:44Speaker 1: media world, saying, Ben, you're a hypocrite. Why aren't you
- 22:47Speaker 1: know if this guy is such a hero, why aren't
- 22:50Speaker 1: you doing this? At your own restaurant. I'll tell exactly
- 22:53Speaker 1: why I'm not doing the same thing he's doing. Two reasons. One,
- 22:57Speaker 1: I have a lot of seniors at kind of my
- 22:59Speaker 1: restaurant who are at higher risk. I have a lot
- 23:01Speaker 1: of people that work in my restaurant also that are older.
- 23:05Speaker 1: We have decided to not buck the system with the
- 23:09Speaker 1: mass for that reason. I think there's other ridiculous rules
- 23:13Speaker 1: like the seating arrangements and that can't sit with people
- 23:16Speaker 1: that don't live in your household, and these occupancies that
- 23:19Speaker 1: are total crap. But we have decided as a team
- 23:23Speaker 1: that we are going to do the mask for the
- 23:25Speaker 1: reasons I just stated. I want to make sure that
- 23:29Speaker 1: we have a lot of elderly people that come into
- 23:31Speaker 1: at Ferguson's Barbecue. I want to make sure they feel safe.
- 23:36Speaker 1: My staff and some of my staff have health issues
- 23:39Speaker 1: and they are susceptible to COVID problems. I want to
- 23:42Speaker 1: make sure that they're safe. This guy's got a much
- 23:45Speaker 1: younger staff, he gets to make the decision. That's my point.
- 23:47Speaker 1: It's freedom as a as business as we should be
- 23:50Speaker 1: able to side what's best for our business, not have
- 23:53Speaker 1: government cram down our throats what's right and wrong, which
- 23:57Speaker 1: is why I appreciate this guy. This guy's running a bar,
- 23:59Speaker 1: this guy's younger audience, this guy's staff is younger. He's younger.
- 24:04Speaker 1: You should be able to decide what is best for you.
- 24:08Speaker 1: Everybody knows the risk now, and that's why he's saying enough.
- 24:15Speaker 1: Strickland is still open even though the Health Department revoked
- 24:19Speaker 1: his restaurant permit a month ago. Now the state is
- 24:22Speaker 1: suing him, asking a judge to order the restaurant permanently closed.
- 24:27Speaker 1: The Attorney General says, Edie is crucial that everyone adherre
- 24:31Speaker 1: to COVID guidelines for Virginia to return to normal as
- 24:35Speaker 1: quickly and safely as possible. The state, the governor, the
- 24:40Speaker 1: federal government, the president. I don't care who it is.
- 24:42Speaker 1: They'll never scare me. It's a back and down, and
- 24:45Speaker 1: I'll never kneel down and kiss their ring. I'll fight
- 24:48Speaker 1: as long as I got to fight. I'll fight as
- 24:50Speaker 1: hard as I gotta fight. He's willing to risk at all.
- 24:54Speaker 1: Some would say that's stupid. I go back to personal freedoms.
- 24:58Speaker 1: I think you have the right to make bad choice,
- 25:01Speaker 1: you know, to risk your entire business, to have it
- 25:03Speaker 1: shut down forever is there, and that's probably what they're
- 25:06Speaker 1: going to do. Because Virginia is a liberal state. That's
- 25:08Speaker 1: an awful, big risk for him to take. He says
- 25:13Speaker 1: it's worth it. Again, he gets to decide. This is
- 25:17Speaker 1: the best part. This is the part that I love
- 25:20Speaker 1: about this country. You should be able to make these decisions.
- 25:24Speaker 1: You should be able to decide what is best for
- 25:25Speaker 1: you when making these decisions. You know, there's some people
- 25:30Speaker 1: they're going to be out of work probably because of
- 25:32Speaker 1: this decision. His employees are going to go unemployed. He's
- 25:35Speaker 1: going to lose his business. He's going to lose it all.
- 25:39Speaker 1: And once they take away his license to operate and
- 25:41Speaker 1: they never give it back to him, I mean, I
- 25:43Speaker 1: can't imagine they're going to give it back to him.
- 25:46Speaker 1: They're going to make sure that forever he can't get
- 25:47Speaker 1: it back. He's going to be out of business. But
- 25:52Speaker 1: I also think he's a hero in many ways, and
- 25:57Speaker 1: I hope that people will do what I expect, and
- 25:59Speaker 1: that is, if they do shut him down, someone's going
- 26:01Speaker 1: to start a go fund me page, and I will
- 26:02Speaker 1: tell you this right now, I will give money to him.
- 26:07Speaker 1: Not all heroes wear masks, folks. Not all heroes wear capes.
- 26:12Speaker 1: This guy is willing to lose it all on this principle.
- 26:16Speaker 1: I respect that, and I think the point that he's
- 26:20Speaker 1: proving is an important point that everybody should be paying
- 26:23Speaker 1: attention to. At what point do we stop giving away
- 26:29Speaker 1: our rights? At what point do we decide that we
- 26:32Speaker 1: are going to quit giving away our rights? At what
- 26:37Speaker 1: point do we decide that we are going to stand up? Now?
- 26:40Speaker 1: This guy may be the sacrificial lamb, he may never
- 26:44Speaker 1: get his business back, but there's also the hypocrisy. This
- 26:49Speaker 1: guy is going to be destroyed. Meanwhile, a guy like
- 26:54Speaker 1: John Kerry gets to keep his job and we'll get
- 26:57Speaker 1: to keep flying on American airlines and he will not
- 27:00Speaker 1: be arrested, he will not get a citation, he will
- 27:03Speaker 1: not be removed for an airplane. And that's part of
- 27:05Speaker 1: the hypocrisy here that so many are sick and tired of.
- 27:12Speaker 1: There are two sets of rules. There are rules for
- 27:14Speaker 1: the John Kerry's. There's rules for the Joe Bidens. Remember
- 27:17Speaker 1: Joe Biden. He put in that mandate right after he
- 27:19Speaker 1: got elected that you have to wear a mask on
- 27:21Speaker 1: all federal buildings and land and yet everything else. Meanwhile,
- 27:24Speaker 1: later that night, he goes with his family to a
- 27:26Speaker 1: federal statue to take a picture, and none of them
- 27:30Speaker 1: are wearing their masks, breaking these own rules that he
- 27:33Speaker 1: just did through executive order right after he got elected.
- 27:36Speaker 1: Within hours, He's breaking then his own rules that he
- 27:39Speaker 1: mandates you and I live by. That's another reason why
- 27:43Speaker 1: I think he said we've had enough. That's another reason
- 27:47Speaker 1: why he says we're done. This is why he said.
- 27:51Speaker 1: I'm I'm not afraid. I've fought for this country. I'm
- 27:55Speaker 1: not scared. I'm not gonna sit here and be bullied.
- 27:59Speaker 1: I'm not gonna back down because you tell me I
- 28:01Speaker 1: have to. I'm willing to fight this battle yeat of
- 28:06Speaker 1: the state. I'm not scared of the federal government. I
- 28:09Speaker 1: spent most of my adult life fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan.
- 28:12Speaker 1: I have no problem with coming home and fighting here
- 28:14Speaker 1: in Virginia. God bless us, Guy, God bless him. I
- 28:20Speaker 1: want to remind you don't forget. If you listen to
