Latest / The Ben Ferguson Podcast / CNN ATTACKS and mocks the intelligence of 2,300 NYC firefighters who call out sick as vaccine mandate begins!
Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: Well, here's the headline for you that just tells you
- 0:03Speaker 1: exactly how stupid the media actually believes you are. Two thousand,
- 0:07Speaker 1: three hundred New York City firefighters have called out sick
- 0:11Speaker 1: as vaccine mandate begins, but the mayor says public safety
- 0:16Speaker 1: is not disrupted, even though multiple fire stations are out
- 0:22Speaker 1: of service. Yeah, hundreds of New York City firefighters called
- 0:26Speaker 1: in sick as the COVID nineteen vaccine mandate for municipal
- 0:31Speaker 1: employees went into effect, bringing the total number of sickouts
- 0:34Speaker 1: in the fire department alone to two thousand, three hundred.
- 0:38Speaker 1: That's what the fire department commissioner said at a news conference.
- 0:43Speaker 1: Normally eight hundred one thousand fire department employees call in
- 0:45Speaker 1: sick on any given day. That also number they're saying
- 0:51Speaker 1: is not true. That's what the spokesman said. They're saying, No,
- 0:54Speaker 1: that's not true. Fire departments like, that's crap. We don't
- 0:56Speaker 1: have a thousand fire department employees calling in sick each
- 0:59Speaker 1: and every day. That's absurd. They're trying to, of course,
- 1:02Speaker 1: act like this isn't that big of a deal, right,
- 1:04Speaker 1: Nothing to see here. Negros said that many people calling
- 1:08Speaker 1: in sick were protesting the vaccine mandate. Quote, if you're sick,
- 1:12Speaker 1: you're sick. It's a dangerous job. I get it. If
- 1:15Speaker 1: you're not sick, I want to see you back at work,
- 1:18Speaker 1: good luck with that. Once members come to their senses
- 1:22Speaker 1: and stop using medical leave improperly, they can help out
- 1:26Speaker 1: not only the cistens of the city, but they're brothers
- 1:28Speaker 1: and sisters who are staffing these units, the city said.
- 1:33Speaker 1: In response to the sick out, many public safety unions
- 1:36Speaker 1: pushed back against the mandate. City officials had worried about
- 1:39Speaker 1: employee shortages in the fire and police departments. But ask
- 1:43Speaker 1: the Blasio about this and he'll just flat out lie
- 1:46Speaker 1: to you. Who cares if he's telling you a lie
- 1:49Speaker 1: that could cost your life because when you dial nine one,
- 1:51Speaker 1: no one shows up, Or when you din nine one
- 1:54Speaker 1: one for fire, no one shows up to fight that
- 1:57Speaker 1: fire quickly. Here's the most ridiculous part of everything I'm
- 2:03Speaker 1: telling you today. The dude Mayor de Blasio, that is
- 2:06Speaker 1: in charge of what has just happened in New York
- 2:10Speaker 1: is now running for governor in New York. He wants
- 2:13Speaker 1: a promotion. Yeah, he wants a promotion, because now the
- 2:19Speaker 1: people in the city that he's in charge of are
- 2:21Speaker 1: unsafe from fire and crime, and he says, I'm so
- 2:25Speaker 1: good at COVID nineteen. I want to be your next governor.
- 2:29Speaker 1: He was on Morning Joe this morning spinning this Take
- 2:34Speaker 1: a listen, hey, Joe, let me tell you these vaccine
- 2:37Speaker 1: mandates work. Let me just give you the update, and
- 2:39Speaker 1: we have breaking news for you. They put a mandate
- 2:42Speaker 1: in place on October twentieth, and as of today, ninety
- 2:47Speaker 1: two percent of the New York City workforce is vaccinated
- 2:52Speaker 1: than new numbers this morning. Great. So the bottom line
- 2:57Speaker 1: is when you say for the health of your family,
- 3:02Speaker 1: everyone you work with, everyone you serve, your whole community,
- 3:04Speaker 1: you gotta get vaccinated, no exceptions, no compromise, just get vaccinated.
- 3:11Speaker 1: It makes an amazing impact. People respond to that. And
- 3:15Speaker 1: here's my message. Every mayor in America, every governor America,
- 3:19Speaker 1: every CEO of a business in America, put a vaccine
- 3:23Speaker 1: mandate in place, and you will make all of us
- 3:26Speaker 1: safer and you will help us end the COVID era
- 3:29Speaker 1: once and for all. This is what it's about. End it.
- 3:32Speaker 1: Stop living this way. Vaccines and what do it? So?
- 3:36Speaker 1: Joe question, if someone doesn't we're giving people a chance
- 3:40Speaker 1: to recognize the science, recognize what's healthy and right. They
- 3:45Speaker 1: don't get vaccinated, they don't get paid. We're going to
- 3:49Speaker 1: give you a chance to recognize what's right, and if
- 3:52Speaker 1: you don't get vaccinated, you don't get paid. I have
- 3:58Speaker 1: a question for Mayor to Blasia white House Press secretary,
- 4:01Speaker 1: and I'm not I hope she's okay, all right, I
- 4:04Speaker 1: want to make that clear. I'm just using it as
- 4:06Speaker 1: a high profile example. White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki
- 4:10Speaker 1: is double vaxxed. She got the Delta variant. Now, yes,
- 4:16Speaker 1: the chance of her having major medical issues statistically drop significantly, right,
- 4:26Speaker 1: But seriously, here, don't tell me that if we just
- 4:31Speaker 1: get the vaccine, this thing disappears. It's not. If it
- 4:33Speaker 1: was people like the White House Press Secretary Jinsaki wouldn't
- 4:37Speaker 1: be getting COVID. I have good friends, family members that
- 4:41Speaker 1: have double vacs, have gotten COVID nineteen, the delta variant.
- 4:45Speaker 1: It's not. This idea that if you just get vaccinated
- 4:48Speaker 1: that the entire issue disappears is insane. It's not true.
- 4:54Speaker 1: And you're and the idea that you're saying, well, look,
- 4:56Speaker 1: we're giving people the opportunity to come to their senses.
- 4:59Speaker 1: And the way we're gonna do by not paying them,
- 5:01Speaker 1: that's not giving people with the opportunity to quote decide
- 5:04Speaker 1: on anything. That's a mandate. You started by saying we
- 5:07Speaker 1: got a mandate, it's working. Then you say we're giving
- 5:10Speaker 1: a chance to get people the opportunity to come to
- 5:12Speaker 1: their senses by not paying them. That's anarchy, that's tyranny.
- 5:16Speaker 1: That's not freedom. Is what's healthy and right. I love
- 5:20Speaker 1: that you describe as healthy and right. We're gonna give
- 5:22Speaker 1: you a chance to figure out that what we're telling
- 5:24Speaker 1: you to do is healthy and right, and if you
- 5:26Speaker 1: disagree with us, we're not going to pay you. This
- 5:28Speaker 1: is coming from the same insane group of people on
- 5:32Speaker 1: the left that locked you inside for a year, major
- 5:35Speaker 1: take vaccines against your will, master kids, and ushered in
- 5:39Speaker 1: a suicide epidemic. And by the way, they now want
- 5:41Speaker 1: you to pay a million dollars to legal immigrants because
- 5:43Speaker 1: they were the ones who were subjected quote to the
- 5:46Speaker 1: last thing psychological trauma being separated from their parents at
- 5:49Speaker 1: the border under the Trump administration. That was also happening
- 5:51Speaker 1: under the Abamba administration, and they want to pay out
- 5:54Speaker 1: reparations of a million dollars. Absolutely not. I do not
- 5:57Speaker 1: trust you with a vaccine, and I do not you
- 6:00Speaker 1: with my health, and I sure as hell don't trust
- 6:02Speaker 1: you with the border. Don't get vaccinated, they don't get paid.
- 6:07Speaker 1: That's how we're doing it. And a lot of people
- 6:09Speaker 1: are waking up and saying, wait a minute, I need
- 6:11Speaker 1: that paycheck. And they're coming in. Two thousand more vaccinations
- 6:14Speaker 1: in the last twenty four hours past the deadline are
- 6:17Speaker 1: two thousand more veniations because people realize they weren't getting
- 6:20Speaker 1: paid and now they're coming back. By the way, if
- 6:23Speaker 1: you think this is going to be a victory, watch
- 6:24Speaker 1: over the next six months what happens they're going to be.
- 6:29Speaker 1: And this happened the other day with Governor to scientists
- 6:32Speaker 1: down in Florida. He welcomed in some firemen or policeman
- 6:35Speaker 1: I think it was from New York. These people may
- 6:40Speaker 1: get vaccinated and they may come back to work, but
- 6:44Speaker 1: if you think they're just gonna stay, they're not. They're
- 6:46Speaker 1: shopping for other jobs. And other cities are getting smart
- 6:49Speaker 1: about this. Okay, other cities are figuring this out. Mayor
- 6:53Speaker 1: to Blasio and the employees that are treated this way,
- 6:57Speaker 1: and some of them need the medical coverage and some
- 7:00Speaker 1: of them need the paycheck to pay for their families.
- 7:03Speaker 1: They're not going to sit here and do this again.
- 7:05Speaker 1: And the most crazy part about this all is you
- 7:08Speaker 1: are actually okay, you're you're actually acting like these people
- 7:15Speaker 1: have a choice, and then say we're not gonna pay them.
- 7:17Speaker 1: You contradict yourself within thirty seconds, like we're giving the
- 7:20Speaker 1: opportunity to see the facts while we don't pay them. Well,
- 7:26Speaker 1: we don't pay them. That's what we're gonna do. Are you?
- 7:31Speaker 1: Are you kidding me? Don't worry they claim Okay, this
- 7:37Speaker 1: is what they claim. They are claiming right now, that
- 7:44Speaker 1: everything's fine, that there's no protection, that you've lost. I
- 7:48Speaker 1: go back to this article where they think you're stupid.
- 7:52Speaker 1: Two thousand, three hundred New York City firefighters call it
- 7:54Speaker 1: sick as vaccine mandate begins, but Mayer says public safety
- 7:57Speaker 1: has not been disrupted. Okay, let me play for you.
- 8:01Speaker 1: ABC News while in New York City tonight, the vaccine
- 8:04Speaker 1: mandate for city workers taking effect, and thousands of frontline
- 8:08Speaker 1: workers defiant, staying home instead of getting vaccinated. I love
- 8:12Speaker 1: how they phrase ABC News they're staying defined. They are
- 8:15Speaker 1: staying home, which means you're gonna die because they won't
- 8:18Speaker 1: get vaccinated. These scumbags that run into your house when
- 8:21Speaker 1: it's on fire and risk their lives, some of them dying,
- 8:24Speaker 1: like on nine to eleven to try to save your life.
- 8:27Speaker 1: What terrible human beings they are instead of getting vaccinated.
- 8:32Speaker 1: Eighteen fire companies out of service because of sick calls.
- 8:36Speaker 1: Eighteen fire companies out of service back to the again.
- 8:40Speaker 1: They think you're stupid. Mayor says public safety not disrupted.
- 8:45Speaker 1: Mayor actually saying vote for me for governor. I'm doing
- 8:48Speaker 1: such a good job. Now vote for me because I'm
- 8:51Speaker 1: doing everything right. CNN's Brianna Keeler, by the way, just
- 8:55Speaker 1: telling you how woke she is. She's crazy, stunned by
- 9:00Speaker 1: anti mandate fire department, New York Union stunned that he's
- 9:05Speaker 1: not vaccinated in a hard hitting interview on New Day
- 9:08Speaker 1: where they tell you how you should live your life
- 9:11Speaker 1: because somehow they're experts because they wear a microphone. One
- 9:15Speaker 1: of the things the media has been doing recently is
- 9:18Speaker 1: they're no longer just like having guests on certainly not
- 9:21Speaker 1: at CNN to explain their position. They're now decide that
- 9:26Speaker 1: they are gods, that they are tyrants, and the arbitrars
- 9:33Speaker 1: of what you can and cannot believe are what you
- 9:35Speaker 1: can and cannot say. Great example is Brianna Keeler stunned
- 9:41Speaker 1: and shocked by the anti mandate fire department union president
- 9:47Speaker 1: as they of course we're unbiased and they're reporting on
- 9:50Speaker 1: this issue. Take a listen that he firefighters are calling
- 9:54Speaker 1: in sick this week because a COVID vaccine mandate for
- 9:56Speaker 1: city employees goes into effect. Here's the Mayor de Blasio.
- 10:01Speaker 1: The folks who are out sick and really aren't sick.
- 10:04Speaker 1: The folks who are faking it are doing immense disservice
- 10:07Speaker 1: to the people of this city and to their fellow
- 10:10Speaker 1: members of service. And we will make sure there are
- 10:13Speaker 1: consequences for that. And joining me now is an FDNY union.
- 10:18Speaker 1: But by the way, I just have to say that
- 10:20Speaker 1: de Blasio, who now wants you to make him the
- 10:22Speaker 1: governor of the state because of the way he's treating
- 10:24Speaker 1: these people. He's saying there will be consequence for this.
- 10:27Speaker 1: What part of stupid? I mean, how dumb do you
- 10:32Speaker 1: have to be to say this and to threaten your
- 10:34Speaker 1: law enforcement officials and to threaten your firemen and think
- 10:38Speaker 1: that even if they do, let's say they get the job,
- 10:41Speaker 1: to keep their job, you think they're not all going
- 10:44Speaker 1: to try to leave, right these thousands of people who
- 10:47Speaker 1: are doing the sick out. Instead of listening to them,
- 10:49Speaker 1: because you refuse to listen to them and understand that
- 10:52Speaker 1: this is a total violation of their medical rights and privacy,
- 10:56Speaker 1: you then threaten them. Do you really think they're going
- 10:58Speaker 1: to stay in New York City and protect and defend
- 11:01Speaker 1: you and others and run into burning buildings? And this
- 11:03Speaker 1: is how you treat them as their employer. Come on
- 11:07Speaker 1: watch six months from now, eight months from now, a
- 11:10Speaker 1: year for now, how many of these guys are gone
- 11:13Speaker 1: because they vented. They say, screw it, I'm out, I'm
- 11:16Speaker 1: going somewhere else, or I'm getting a different job, I'm
- 11:19Speaker 1: getting a different profession, or I'm going to a different
- 11:21Speaker 1: department where they actually care about the employees and don't
- 11:25Speaker 1: treat them this way. And leader Jim McCarthy is the
- 11:28Speaker 1: president of the Uniformed Fire Officers Association. Jim, thank you
- 11:32Speaker 1: so much for being with us a sickout estimator right
- 11:37Speaker 1: now at twenty three hundred. That isn't that irresponsible for
- 11:41Speaker 1: firefighters to do that? Well, I don't agree with the
- 11:44Speaker 1: mayor and his description of what's going on during this time.
- 11:50Speaker 1: There's been many multiple Can I just be clear on that.
- 11:52Speaker 1: So you think there's not a sick out, I'm saying
- 11:55Speaker 1: that there is. There are people on medically and our
- 11:58Speaker 1: members have to go see a doctor to be put
- 12:00Speaker 1: on medical leaves, so a doctor has put them on
- 12:02Speaker 1: medical leave. They don't pick that themselves. Anybody that calls
- 12:07Speaker 1: with an illness has to go to the medical office
- 12:09Speaker 1: and see a doctor. So a doctor puts each of
- 12:11Speaker 1: our members on medical leave. But there's a sudden spike
- 12:14Speaker 1: in people being on medical leave, Yeah, there is. Well,
- 12:17Speaker 1: it's a several factors involved. During this time of year.
- 12:20Speaker 1: There's an increase in fires because of the dropping the
- 12:23Speaker 1: temperature and heating, so there's been many multiple alarms around
- 12:28Speaker 1: the city. So firefighting is a very dangerous business and
- 12:31Speaker 1: our guys give one hundred and ten percent when they're
- 12:34Speaker 1: fighting fires. Also, there's been an increase in vaccinations with
- 12:39Speaker 1: the membership, and the city acknowledges that you get COVID
- 12:43Speaker 1: symptoms when you get the vaccine, and they let the
- 12:47Speaker 1: members take two or three days of medical leave when
- 12:50Speaker 1: they get the vaccine. And as they're touting that our
- 12:53Speaker 1: vaccine rates have increased, also those medical leave days increase
- 12:58Speaker 1: as well as a result. And by the way, one
- 13:01Speaker 1: of the things that the union president just said there,
- 13:03Speaker 1: which makes sense, if you just had, as Deblasio said,
- 13:06Speaker 1: two thousand new people get the vaccine every night, I
- 13:08Speaker 1: don't really want a guy that just got vaccinated running
- 13:11Speaker 1: into a building with an oxygen mask on an extreme
- 13:14Speaker 1: heat and that's the guy that's gonna save me. I'd
- 13:16Speaker 1: rather him take a couple of days off, right, which
- 13:20Speaker 1: really actually makes sense. So if you had two thousand
- 13:24Speaker 1: people get the vaccine last twenty four hours, is Deblasio
- 13:27Speaker 1: is bragging about, and I played that audio for your
- 13:29Speaker 1: moment ago, then that would be two thousand people that
- 13:31Speaker 1: are gonna be out for a couple of days on
- 13:32Speaker 1: medical leave. So you would think that Deblasio would understand this, right.
- 13:39Speaker 1: This isn't about understanding. This is about you get on
- 13:42Speaker 1: your knees and we put a gun to your head
- 13:44Speaker 1: and we pull that trigger and fire you from your
- 13:48Speaker 1: job if you don't do what we say. That you
- 13:49Speaker 1: have to do. And Joel, let me tell you. These
- 13:53Speaker 1: vaccine mandates work. Let me just give you the update,
- 13:56Speaker 1: and we have breaking news for you. They put a
- 13:58Speaker 1: mandate in place in October twentieth and as of today,
- 14:03Speaker 1: ninety two percent of the New York City workforce is vaccinated.
- 14:09Speaker 1: New numbers this morning, ninety two percent. Great. So, by
- 14:13Speaker 1: the way, I love how the media's job now is
- 14:15Speaker 1: to clap and applaud Did you hear Joe Scarborough there
- 14:18Speaker 1: on MSNBC. He's clapping and applauding, going, that's great, that's great.
- 14:24Speaker 1: These are the guys that are the quote arbitrarge of truth.
- 14:27Speaker 1: These are the people that are questioning the elected officials
- 14:32Speaker 1: who are putting a gun literally to your head with
- 14:34Speaker 1: your career and saying you don't get this job, and
- 14:36Speaker 1: I will blow your head off. You will be unemployed,
- 14:40Speaker 1: you will have nothing, and these is it appropriate for
- 14:44Speaker 1: the while you're interviewing the mayor who's doing this right now,
- 14:47Speaker 1: to clap and say that's great. Listen carefully, ninety two
- 14:50Speaker 1: percent of the New York City workforce is vaccinated. New
- 14:56Speaker 1: numbers this morning, ninety two percent great. So the bottom
- 15:00Speaker 1: that is great. That is great. We're getting their folks.
- 15:03Speaker 1: We're firing the people. We are firing the people that
- 15:08Speaker 1: deserve to be fired because they won't get on board.
- 15:10Speaker 1: I'm just curious. Fully vaccinated White House President of Jen
- 15:15Speaker 1: Psaki test poit for COVID nineteen. If I believe what
- 15:17Speaker 1: you're claiming that, I should believe right now that everything
- 15:21Speaker 1: gets better if you vaccinated everybody, as you just heard
- 15:23Speaker 1: it said there, then explain to me how the fully
- 15:27Speaker 1: vacucinated Jin Saki becomes the highest ranking White House official
- 15:31Speaker 1: to have publicly revealed to be infected with COVID nineteen
- 15:33Speaker 1: the Biden administration. She issued a statement about her COVID
- 15:36Speaker 1: nineteen infection admitted that she had interacted with President Joe
- 15:39Speaker 1: Biden within the past week. On Wednesday, in coordination with
- 15:42Speaker 1: senior leadership of the White House and the medical team,
- 15:45Speaker 1: I made the decision not to travel on the foreign
- 15:47Speaker 1: trip with the President dude of a family emergency, which
- 15:49Speaker 1: was members of my household testing positive for COVID nineteen,
- 15:53Speaker 1: which she should be fine. She got vaccinated right Since then,
- 15:56Speaker 1: I have quarantine and tested negative for COVID on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday,
- 15:59Speaker 1: and Saturday, However, today I test a positive for COVID
- 16:03Speaker 1: while I have not had close contact in person with
- 16:06Speaker 1: a president or senior members the White Eld staff since
- 16:08Speaker 1: Wednesday and tested negative for four days after the last contact.
- 16:11Speaker 1: I'm disclosing today's positive tests out of an abundance of transparency. Wait,
- 16:17Speaker 1: I thought everything was fine if you were vaccinated. What happened?
- 16:19Speaker 1: I'm so confused. We've got vaccine mandates work, By golly,
- 16:26Speaker 1: they work. New York City workers have gotten vaccine. That
- 16:29Speaker 1: means eight percent haven't. Did it really work? So I
- 16:33Speaker 1: guess that means that if eight percent of people get fired,
- 16:36Speaker 1: that's your definition of success. Eight percent of a workforce
- 16:40Speaker 1: being fired, especially when you have a large workforce, is
- 16:43Speaker 1: a significant number of people. If you have a thousand people,
- 16:48Speaker 1: an eight percent get fired, that's a significant number of bodies.
- 16:55Speaker 1: Eighty people gone. If you have a workforce of ten thousand, right,
- 16:59Speaker 1: what do you look at You're going to eight hundred.
- 17:01Speaker 1: That's a significant number of people that are fired. And
- 17:05Speaker 1: they sit there and they look at you and they
- 17:06Speaker 1: tell you vaccine mandates work. No they don't. You're just
- 17:08Speaker 1: firing people. It's not working. If it was working, ninety
- 17:12Speaker 1: nine percent the people would get vaccinated. Your vaccine mandate
- 17:17Speaker 1: is not working. You're just firing people, that's what you
- 17:20Speaker 1: are doing. Back to the tyrants over at CNN talking
- 17:25Speaker 1: to the president of the Uniform Fire Officer Association of
- 17:27Speaker 1: New York City, when they you know, they get all sanctimonious,
- 17:31Speaker 1: take a listen as well. As a result, there has
- 17:34Speaker 1: been resistance among your union membership to the vaccine mandate
- 17:39Speaker 1: for city employees. Tell us why you're you're fighting the mandate. Well,
- 17:46Speaker 1: first of all, we're a pro vaccine. We're just anti mandate.
- 17:50Speaker 1: And really what it comes down to is we've got
- 17:52Speaker 1: eight days to comply with this mandate. The other unions
- 17:57Speaker 1: had thirty days, and even the corrections officers have until December. First,
- 18:02Speaker 1: our membership only at eight days, and there's a lot
- 18:04Speaker 1: of decisions to be made. If people decide they want
- 18:07Speaker 1: to have a religious exemption or reasonable accommodation or a
- 18:12Speaker 1: medical exemption, you have to apply for that and get
- 18:14Speaker 1: Affidavid's to support that, and we didn't have enough time
- 18:18Speaker 1: to do that. And we also feel that it's a
- 18:20Speaker 1: collective boggaining issue that we need to negotiate the implementation
- 18:23Speaker 1: of this mandate rather than being imposed upon us. We
- 18:27Speaker 1: have due process, and we're going to be taking away
- 18:30Speaker 1: our benefits and pensions and pay. We have to have
- 18:33Speaker 1: due process to implement that system. Okay, a few things
- 18:38Speaker 1: there that I want to talk to you about. But
- 18:39Speaker 1: you said you are pro vaccine but anti mandate. I mean,
- 18:44Speaker 1: isn't that just like someone saying they are pro condom
- 18:48Speaker 1: but they are anti someone telling them that they have
- 18:51Speaker 1: to wear one. You see that This may be the
- 18:53Speaker 1: stupidest line Brianna Killer has ever used. And there's a
- 18:55Speaker 1: lot of stupid lines to equate being pro vaccine but
- 19:02Speaker 1: anti mandate with your pro conum, but you don't use one.
- 19:06Speaker 1: Every scenario would be different. I'm pro condom, by the way,
- 19:09Speaker 1: but I'm not using one. Right if if you're if
- 19:12Speaker 1: you're married and trying to have a kid, you idiot.
- 19:14Speaker 1: There's a million different scenarios for this. You may not
- 19:18Speaker 1: be you may you may be you know, pro condom
- 19:21Speaker 1: in America, but you don't use one. If your wife's
- 19:24Speaker 1: had a hysterectomy, right or there could be a million scenarios.
- 19:27Speaker 1: It changes. By the way, I'm pro vaccine. I'm glad
- 19:30Speaker 1: that Donald Trump came up with operation warp speed. I'm
- 19:32Speaker 1: glad we have a vaccine. I don't think it should
- 19:34Speaker 1: be mandated, but these dumb AI's over e scene and
- 19:37Speaker 1: this is what they equate it with. And you want
- 19:39Speaker 1: to know why you're losing America. You wanta know why
- 19:40Speaker 1: people aren't getting vacine because when you guys say stupid
- 19:43Speaker 1: crap like this, and Brianna Keeler should know better than
- 19:46Speaker 1: to say something this stupid, comparing it to a condom,
- 19:50Speaker 1: this is what makes people roll their eyes and never
- 19:52Speaker 1: listen to you again. And this is what makes people say,
- 19:55Speaker 1: the hell with all you guys, I'm not getting the vaccine.
- 19:57Speaker 1: We have to have due process to implement that system. Okay,
- 20:02Speaker 1: a few things there that I want to talk to
- 20:03Speaker 1: you about. But you said you are pro vaccine but
- 20:07Speaker 1: anti mandate. I mean, isn't that just like someone saying
- 20:11Speaker 1: they are pro condom but they are anti someone telling
- 20:15Speaker 1: them that they have to wear one. You see the
- 20:17Speaker 1: issue here, right. The prophylactic, whatever it is, isn't just
- 20:21Speaker 1: about the person who uses it. It's about the people
- 20:23Speaker 1: around them who could be affected by them. And firefighters
- 20:27Speaker 1: are forward facing people who are dealing with a vulnerable population. Yes,
- 20:32Speaker 1: we are forward facing and we have been involved in
- 20:36Speaker 1: this pandemic from the very beginning, from March of twenty twenty.
- 20:40Speaker 1: We were the first ones there at the worst height
- 20:44Speaker 1: of the pandemic in the world. In New York City,
- 20:46Speaker 1: New York City firefighters and fire officers went to the fire. Yes,
- 20:49Speaker 1: address what I'm asking you. Hear about you got understand.
- 20:52Speaker 1: They don't care about that, right, They don't care. These
- 20:54Speaker 1: police officers, firemen put themselves on the line all over
- 20:56Speaker 1: the country. They don't care that the police and fire
- 20:58Speaker 1: didn't call in sick and they still into people's houses
- 21:01Speaker 1: and still gave them medical attention right in their face.
- 21:04Speaker 1: They don't care about that. They don't care. They walked
- 21:07Speaker 1: into so many homes where there was COVID and some
- 21:08Speaker 1: of them got COVID and some of them died by
- 21:10Speaker 1: the way. They don't care because it's not about that.
- 21:13Speaker 1: It's about you getting on your knees. We put a
- 21:15Speaker 1: gun to your head and you comply. We're the media.
- 21:17Speaker 1: We're part of the tyrants of the White House, and
- 21:19Speaker 1: we're part of the vaccine tyrants and the faulcies of
- 21:23Speaker 1: the world. And you're gonna comply. We don't respect what
- 21:25Speaker 1: you do on a daily basis. The problem will be
- 21:29Speaker 1: the problem of being pro vaccine and anti mandate. Well,
- 21:35Speaker 1: the fact that she is, and this is the again
- 21:39Speaker 1: the psychopath nature of people in the media like Brionna
- 21:43Speaker 1: Killer and CNN. They don't respect freedom. The statement that
- 21:49Speaker 1: he made is a statement about respecting people's freedoms. I
- 21:54Speaker 1: am pro vaccine. That doesn't mean that my decision to
- 22:00Speaker 1: get one should be mandated on you to get one.
- 22:04Speaker 1: They don't. Not only do they not value freedom, they
- 22:08Speaker 1: don't understand it. They believe that if they decide something
- 22:13Speaker 1: should happen, that everybody else should do it, and if
- 22:15Speaker 1: they don't, you should be excommunicated from a civil society.
- 22:20Speaker 1: They're the ones that believe in having two different societies.
- 22:22Speaker 1: They want the leopards, which are those that have not
- 22:25Speaker 1: been vaccinated, and they want they want you to give
- 22:27Speaker 1: freedom to people who only those who have been vaccinated.
- 22:31Speaker 1: That's the reason why they can't understand how a man
- 22:34Speaker 1: in charge of a union could possibly be vaccinated but
- 22:38Speaker 1: also respect the rights of his fellow man to not
- 22:41Speaker 1: be vaccinated. That's why they're badgering them right now. We
- 22:45Speaker 1: have Again, we've are exposed to the virus very early on,
- 22:49Speaker 1: and many of our members got sick and they have
- 22:51Speaker 1: a high it's not the same. And I'm sure you're aware,
- 22:54Speaker 1: Jim that just today the CDC is pointing to research
- 22:57Speaker 1: that shows there is more consistent immunity when it comes
- 23:00Speaker 1: to the vaccine than infection. That's not something you can
- 23:04Speaker 1: hang your hat on. Well, it is more consistent. But
- 23:07Speaker 1: the OSHA has also come up with a standard that
- 23:09Speaker 1: they can use vaccine and testing, which we've had previously
- 23:14Speaker 1: to this mandate, and our infection rate from that testing
- 23:16Speaker 1: we had over six thousand tests, less than one half
- 23:20Speaker 1: of one percent of our membership tested positive. That's lower
- 23:23Speaker 1: than the public's rate. So the vaccine and testing program
- 23:26Speaker 1: that we had previously has been working. So there's no
- 23:29Speaker 1: reason to impose this mandate, especially when it wasn't negotiated.
- 23:33Speaker 1: But the collectively boggin the mandate's working. Seventy seven percent
- 23:37Speaker 1: of FDNY now vaccinated, up from fifty eight percent before
- 23:41Speaker 1: the mandate. By the way, I love this, but the
- 23:43Speaker 1: mandate's working. Taking away people's rights is working in the
- 23:46Speaker 1: short term. You think it's going to last in the
- 23:48Speaker 1: long term. What's going to be amazing is when this
- 23:52Speaker 1: is going to be a self fulfilling prophecy. You are
- 23:55Speaker 1: going to have people that they got on their knees
- 23:58Speaker 1: and they had a gun to their head, and they
- 24:00Speaker 1: got the vaccine against their will to take care of
- 24:02Speaker 1: their families, to pay their bills, and they're going to
- 24:07Speaker 1: leave for greener pastors. And then it's going to be
- 24:09Speaker 1: like Brionna Killer. They're gonna be shocked when the Times
- 24:12Speaker 1: for nine one calls skyrocket through the roof because no
- 24:15Speaker 1: one wants to work there under these types of rules,
- 24:19Speaker 1: this type of tyranny. She's like, well, vaccine mandates work,
- 24:23Speaker 1: We got it up. It doesn't. You're missing the point.
- 24:28Speaker 1: It is not submission with a gun to your head.
- 24:31Speaker 1: That's not freedom. These people don't value freedom. They don't
- 24:34Speaker 1: even understand freedom. They don't comprehend it. They believe that
- 24:37Speaker 1: they should tell you how to live your life. And
- 24:39Speaker 1: this is proof of it in this interview. And they
- 24:42Speaker 1: tell you that, well, if we get enough people to submit,
- 24:44Speaker 1: see it work. The vaccine mandate work. Taking away people's
- 24:47Speaker 1: rights never works long term. Again works again, people have
- 24:52Speaker 1: gotten vaccinated. But it's because there is there's also guys
- 24:56Speaker 1: with reasonable accommodation. Then there's memberships that some of our
- 24:59Speaker 1: membership that retired rather than be forced to do this,
- 25:03Speaker 1: and it is a decision that they only had eight
- 25:05Speaker 1: days to make. Okay, let me ask you about the
- 25:07Speaker 1: eight days, thirty days, whatever it is, whatever union, whatever
- 25:10Speaker 1: it is, whatever union. Right, let's just dismiss all that crap. Right,
- 25:13Speaker 1: Let's let's just dismiss your rights. Let's dismiss what you
- 25:16Speaker 1: do for society. Let's dismiss the fact that if a
- 25:19Speaker 1: shooter came in right now into this studio and I
- 25:21Speaker 1: called I one, that I'm gonna be so thankful you
- 25:23Speaker 1: guys show up with a gun, or if there's a
- 25:24Speaker 1: fire in the studio, I'm gonna be so thankful when
- 25:26Speaker 1: I down nine one they show up to save my
- 25:28Speaker 1: life and get me out of a burning building. Let's
- 25:31Speaker 1: dismiss all that, and we're gonna treat you guys like
- 25:33Speaker 1: you're not human beings and you have no rights because
- 25:36Speaker 1: we are part of the tyranny of the Biden administration
- 25:39Speaker 1: and this new idea in America that no one has
- 25:42Speaker 1: any rights. You must comply or we will have two
- 25:45Speaker 1: different societies. I don't understand that argument when this vaccine
- 25:50Speaker 1: has been available for almost a year for emergency responders. Again,
- 25:56Speaker 1: it's been eight days, thirty days. Well, there is there
- 26:01Speaker 1: is a lot to be made. Again, reasonable accommodations, religious exemptions,
- 26:05Speaker 1: medical exemptions, they take time to file, as well as
- 26:08Speaker 1: our retirement papers. If people decide that they're not going
- 26:12Speaker 1: to take the vaccine and they want to retire, it
- 26:14Speaker 1: takes a little bit of time for our membership retire
- 26:17Speaker 1: up to three months usually it takes. And right now
- 26:20Speaker 1: they've given us eight days to make those decisions. So
- 26:24Speaker 1: we need more time, and they've given more time to
- 26:26Speaker 1: other municipal unions. Again, as I pointed out, the corrections
- 26:29Speaker 1: officers have until December first, we had eight days to
- 26:32Speaker 1: do this and we need more time and collectively bogging
- 26:35Speaker 1: the impact. By the way, she doesn't care about any
- 26:38Speaker 1: of this because you're a scumbag. You're the worst person
- 26:42Speaker 1: in the world. Her final question, by the way, are
- 26:45Speaker 1: you vaccinated? You know, Jim, and I asked you this
- 26:48Speaker 1: because you are a leader in your union. Yeah, so
- 26:50Speaker 1: let's start the leaders on you. You're a leader, you're
- 26:53Speaker 1: supposed to understand you must comply let'sten to this last
- 26:55Speaker 1: question because you didn't get it. She didn't get anywhere
- 26:57Speaker 1: on the last one because she's an idiot. She didn't
- 26:59Speaker 1: know the fact some retirement or anything else. Are you vaccinated?
- 27:03Speaker 1: I am? Is that any of her business? By the way,
- 27:06Speaker 1: are you vaccinated? This is part of the public shaming
- 27:09Speaker 1: that I've been warning you about, and now they're doing
- 27:11Speaker 1: it on National TV. Are you vaccinated? So you are vaccinated? Yeah? Yeah,
- 27:17Speaker 1: I love it. So I can't believe you're vaccinated. You
- 27:19Speaker 1: can't believe that in society, there are people that believe
- 27:22Speaker 1: that they're that they're believe shouldn't be put on other people.
- 27:25Speaker 1: You can't believe this is you want to why? Because
- 27:27Speaker 1: you're psycho tyrant of the left. There is not an
- 27:31Speaker 1: original thought coming out of Brianna Keeler's mouth at CNN.
- 27:36Speaker 1: This is all her regurgitating what she thinks she's supposed
- 27:39Speaker 1: to say from the world that she lives in, which is,
- 27:42Speaker 1: no one has any rights except for what we give
- 27:44Speaker 1: you after you do what we tell you to do
- 27:46Speaker 1: and comply. Because she is a weak person, she doesn't
- 27:50Speaker 1: understand freedom. She wants to be accepted by her peers,
- 27:54Speaker 1: which means to be accepted, you must get vaccinated and
- 27:57Speaker 1: tell everybody else to do it and force that opinion
- 27:59Speaker 1: on everybody else. She can't believe that the guy who's
- 28:02Speaker 1: saying that he believes and the rights of others to
- 28:04Speaker 1: make a different decision than him is vaccinated. You took
- 28:08Speaker 1: that personal choice. I think it's I'm sorry, When did
- 28:12Speaker 1: it become a personal choice, Brianna? You just said you
- 28:17Speaker 1: took that personal choice. You just made my argument for me,
- 28:20Speaker 1: and you're too stupid to even realize it personal choice.
- 28:25Speaker 1: You just said it. You just contradicted everything else I
- 28:29Speaker 1: have played and just called it a personal choice. So
- 28:32Speaker 1: why not let people make a personal choice? Why are
- 28:36Speaker 1: you trying to mandate that everybody do what you do
- 28:38Speaker 1: when you just described it as a personal choice. You
- 28:41Speaker 1: just undid the entire six minutes of your interview with
- 28:45Speaker 1: showing your total incompetency for understanding what freedom actually is.
- 28:52Speaker 1: And this is the media right now. Folks don't trust them.
- 28:55Speaker 1: They are scumbags who don't even understand when they contradict
- 28:58Speaker 1: themselves in their own damn interview. All right, I'll say
