1 00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:03,800 Speaker 1: It's a massive revolt, a revolt that the media is 2 00:00:03,840 --> 00:00:08,160 Speaker 1: refusing to acknowledge, much less to report on. There's a 3 00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:10,440 Speaker 1: big lie that's been taking place in the media now 4 00:00:10,520 --> 00:00:13,360 Speaker 1: for the last couple of days. So I'm going to 5 00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:16,239 Speaker 1: break it down for you why the media does not 6 00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:19,200 Speaker 1: want to tell you the truth. The true reason why 7 00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:24,520 Speaker 1: so many Americans were stranded because of airlines over this 8 00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:29,720 Speaker 1: holiday weekend is because of the vaccine mandates, and there 9 00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:33,479 Speaker 1: was a revolt of those mandates. That's right, you heard me, 10 00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:36,360 Speaker 1: a revolt. Now, it's not hard to figure this out. 11 00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:39,519 Speaker 1: It's pretty easy. Finally people are starting to report on 12 00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:45,640 Speaker 1: this after many in the social media world blasted the 13 00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:50,120 Speaker 1: big ABC's, NBC's of the world when they acted like 14 00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:54,880 Speaker 1: the reason why somebody Southless flights were somehow cancel is 15 00:00:54,920 --> 00:01:00,560 Speaker 1: because of FAA shortages. Not exactly true, and because of 16 00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:03,880 Speaker 1: bad weather also not true. Now, I mentioned to you 17 00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:06,560 Speaker 1: just a moment ago that other airlines had like two 18 00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:10,199 Speaker 1: percent cancelations while Southwest had a massive amount of people 19 00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:14,760 Speaker 1: they were stranded. Let me tell the real story behind this, 20 00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:16,440 Speaker 1: and again, this is the story the media doesn't want 21 00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:19,360 Speaker 1: you to know. But Southwest air pilots are seeking to 22 00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:23,600 Speaker 1: block a COVID vaccination mandate. Southwest Airline pilots ask a 23 00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:26,119 Speaker 1: court to temporary block the company from carrying out federally 24 00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:31,199 Speaker 1: mandated coronavirus vaccinations until an existing lawsuit of allegious labor 25 00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:36,919 Speaker 1: law violated violations is resolved. The Southwest Airlines Pilot Association 26 00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:40,520 Speaker 1: filing on Friday. Okay, now this is easy to find. 27 00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:42,640 Speaker 1: They publicize this, but the media doesn't want you to 28 00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:45,640 Speaker 1: really know why people are being stranded. That what Southwest 29 00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:47,960 Speaker 1: Airlines pilots are doing right now is they're revolting and 30 00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:51,280 Speaker 1: it's working. Also ask for an immediate hearing on the 31 00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:55,440 Speaker 1: requests before a federal court in Dallas, claiming the carrier 32 00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:58,440 Speaker 1: has continued to take unilateral actions that violate terms of 33 00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:04,280 Speaker 1: the Railway Labor Act, which governs airline union relations. Those 34 00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:09,040 Speaker 1: steps include the COVID nineteen vaccination requirement quote, the new 35 00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:13,400 Speaker 1: vaccine mandate unlawfully imposes new conditions of employment, and the 36 00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:17,360 Speaker 1: new policy threatens termination of any pilot not fully vaccinated 37 00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:22,799 Speaker 1: by December eight, twenty twenty one. The legal filing reads, Now, again, 38 00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:24,840 Speaker 1: the media could have told you the story breaking news. 39 00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:28,800 Speaker 1: Southwest Airline pilots revolt and a silent walkout over the weekend, 40 00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:31,080 Speaker 1: which is stranding people. And they could have done the 41 00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:34,160 Speaker 1: story the honest way, but they deliberately chose not to. 42 00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:38,200 Speaker 1: With headlines. And I'm going to readjo a CNN headline. 43 00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:43,799 Speaker 1: Southwest Airlines councils more than a thousand flights Sunday, their 44 00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:46,000 Speaker 1: first line, the long weekend got a bit longer for 45 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:48,560 Speaker 1: Southwest customers at the airline cancel more than the thousand 46 00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:52,680 Speaker 1: flights Sunday, roughly twenty seven percent of its daily operations. 47 00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:55,800 Speaker 1: It's the second day of mass cancelations by the world's 48 00:02:56,000 --> 00:03:00,600 Speaker 1: largest low cost carrier. The company blamed the insulations on 49 00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:03,799 Speaker 1: air traffic control problems and limits staffing in Florida, as 50 00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:07,280 Speaker 1: well as bad weather. Now, immediately right there, you should 51 00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:11,239 Speaker 1: fix that story, right, you should say, however, the real 52 00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:16,920 Speaker 1: reason for this happening is the pilots are refusing to 53 00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:20,200 Speaker 1: go to work and they suit on Friday. But nowhere 54 00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:22,880 Speaker 1: in the CNN story is what I just said for 55 00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:25,720 Speaker 1: you in there. And if you think Scenen's the only 56 00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:29,920 Speaker 1: one that's doing it this way, you're wrong. Let me 57 00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:32,880 Speaker 1: give you the headline from USA Today just five hours ago, 58 00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:39,040 Speaker 1: Southwest Airlines flight was continue a thousand sentay cancelations and counting. 59 00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:42,720 Speaker 1: Kathleen Miller was sleeping when the text from Southeast Airlines 60 00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:46,440 Speaker 1: arrived at one eighteen am Sunday, her seven thirty am 61 00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:48,880 Speaker 1: flight from Phoenix of Dallas was canceled. The Pennsylvania woman 62 00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:51,400 Speaker 1: didn't see the text until she was at the airport, 63 00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:55,960 Speaker 1: where Southwis representatives directed her to a snaking rebooting line 64 00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:58,080 Speaker 1: next to the ticket counter. She stood in line for 65 00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:01,560 Speaker 1: forty five minutes and left with a Lessons factory rebooking 66 00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:05,280 Speaker 1: option eight Tuesday flight. Luckily, we have relatives here in 67 00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:07,800 Speaker 1: the city, she said straight in Southwest. Pastors across the 68 00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:10,040 Speaker 1: country are struggling with a second day of mass flight 69 00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:15,600 Speaker 1: cancelations by the Naacians. The largest domestic airline, Southwest is 70 00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:18,480 Speaker 1: cancel one eighteen Sunday flights as of two pm Eastern, 71 00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:21,520 Speaker 1: according to flight tracker flight Awair. That's twenty eight percent 72 00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:23,480 Speaker 1: of the airline scheduled flights, and the highest of any 73 00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:27,599 Speaker 1: US airline by a wide margin. American Airlines is canceled 74 00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:30,599 Speaker 1: sixty three flights, that's two percent of its operations, while 75 00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:34,440 Speaker 1: Spirit Airlines canceled thirty two flights, or four percent of 76 00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:37,680 Speaker 1: its flights. According to flight Awair, the US airports were 77 00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:41,360 Speaker 1: the heaviest flight cancelations for departures and rivals Sunday are 78 00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:44,640 Speaker 1: all big Southwest hubs, even if the airline doesn't refer 79 00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:47,040 Speaker 1: to them as such, like Denver, Baltimore, dawnaslat Field of 80 00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:52,040 Speaker 1: Las Vegas, and Chicago Midway Southwest Sunday's cancelations. By the way, 81 00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:54,040 Speaker 1: I'm reading this in exact orders. It's being written in 82 00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:56,080 Speaker 1: the USA today. You notice they're still not telling you 83 00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:57,960 Speaker 1: the real story that this is because the pilots are 84 00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:01,080 Speaker 1: refusing to get vaccinated and they out a lawsuit on Friday, 85 00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:03,520 Speaker 1: and this is their quiet way of doing this. They 86 00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:06,159 Speaker 1: don't want you to know that there's powers in numbers, folks. 87 00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:09,000 Speaker 1: They don't want you to know or be inspired by 88 00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:13,839 Speaker 1: what Southwest Airlines is doing right now. They don't want 89 00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:18,839 Speaker 1: you to understand that Southwest Airlines is putting together something 90 00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:23,600 Speaker 1: that everybody else should mimic. There are power in numbers. 91 00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:29,640 Speaker 1: What Southwest Airlines is doing is victory for the little guy. 92 00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:33,880 Speaker 1: They're sticking it to the man and the federal government 93 00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:38,719 Speaker 1: with a mandate that is being challenged in court. A 94 00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:42,039 Speaker 1: mandate that should be challenged in court, a mandate that 95 00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:46,120 Speaker 1: I would argue is unconstitutional. And that's what they're arguing. 96 00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:50,000 Speaker 1: It's a violation of their rights and their employment agreement. 97 00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:55,919 Speaker 1: Think about it, and that is exactly why they're not 98 00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:58,040 Speaker 1: telling you that part of the story. They just want 99 00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:02,120 Speaker 1: to act like it's whether. Now you notice how far 100 00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:04,320 Speaker 1: I had to read the story and still they have 101 00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:06,760 Speaker 1: not told you any of the truth. At USA today, 102 00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:11,080 Speaker 1: So CNN USA today, they're in on this together. Start tribune. 103 00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:13,080 Speaker 1: Let me read you their headline. You're ready for this one. 104 00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:18,120 Speaker 1: Southwest Airlines cancels more than a thousand fights Sunday. Southwest 105 00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:21,159 Speaker 1: Airlines canceled that hundreds of flights over the weekend, blaming 106 00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:23,719 Speaker 1: the woes on air traffic control issues and weather. The 107 00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:26,080 Speaker 1: airline cancel more of the thousand flights in total, twenty 108 00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:28,159 Speaker 1: nine percent of its schedule as of seven pm Sunday, 109 00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:30,960 Speaker 1: according to flight tracker flight Aware. That was the highest 110 00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:33,320 Speaker 1: rate by far the US major airlines. Next in line 111 00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:36,719 Speaker 1: was Allegiant, which canceled six percent of its fights, American Airlines, 112 00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:38,640 Speaker 1: which came with five percent of its flights. In Spirit, 113 00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:40,600 Speaker 1: which cames with four percent on Sunday, according to the 114 00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:44,320 Speaker 1: Flight Tracker. On Saturday, Southwest Airlines cancel more than eight 115 00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:48,120 Speaker 1: hundred flights. Southwest Airlines set an email statement that has 116 00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:50,880 Speaker 1: experienced weather challenges and its Florida airport at the beginning 117 00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:53,960 Speaker 1: of the weekend, which were compounded by quote unexpected air 118 00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:56,520 Speaker 1: traffic controller issues in the same region. That's a lie. 119 00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:58,320 Speaker 1: The FAA has come out and saying it's a lie. 120 00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:02,440 Speaker 1: Those issues triggered delay and prompted significant cancelations for the airline, 121 00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:05,040 Speaker 1: they say beginning Friday evening. That is just not true. 122 00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:08,279 Speaker 1: They're lying to you. Start Tribune again, lying to you 123 00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:10,240 Speaker 1: because they don't want you to know that there are 124 00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:12,720 Speaker 1: power in numbers with employees and if we all gained 125 00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:19,640 Speaker 1: up together on these ridiculous rules, we can win. Even 126 00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:22,640 Speaker 1: the Dallas Morning News where Dallas love Field is lying 127 00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:25,600 Speaker 1: to you. Here's why Southwest Airlines had to cancel more 128 00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:29,600 Speaker 1: than a thousand flights Sunday. Their headline reads, Dallas based 129 00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:32,760 Speaker 1: Southwest plans more than three thousand and six and flights 130 00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:36,000 Speaker 1: on Sunday than most of any day since COVID nineteen 131 00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:38,480 Speaker 1: pandemic began. Because holiday weekend but nearly one third of 132 00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:42,280 Speaker 1: those were canceled. They went to the same crap. Southwest 133 00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:44,520 Speaker 1: Airlines cancel more than a thousand flights Sunday, and it 134 00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:48,000 Speaker 1: tried to desperate to recover from disruptive weather in Florida 135 00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:51,600 Speaker 1: Friday and fulfilling ambitious schedule complicated by ongoing staffing shorges. 136 00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:55,440 Speaker 1: None of these news organizations are doing their damn job. 137 00:07:56,600 --> 00:08:01,240 Speaker 1: Many airports with large Southwest presence saw dozens of lights canceled. Again, 138 00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:03,920 Speaker 1: none of them are doing their damn job. Now one 139 00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:06,400 Speaker 1: of them is Bloomberg is finally reporting on the truth. 140 00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:11,280 Speaker 1: Now they're telling the truth that the pilots are calling 141 00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:15,280 Speaker 1: in sick. Quote. The new vaccine mandates from their lawsuit 142 00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:19,120 Speaker 1: on Friday unlawfully imposes new conditions of employment and new 143 00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:23,960 Speaker 1: policies threatens termination of any pilot not fully vaccinated by 144 00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:26,760 Speaker 1: December the eight, twenty twenty one. The legal filing sets 145 00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:31,200 Speaker 1: Southwest Airlines additional new and unilateral notification of the parties 146 00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:35,320 Speaker 1: collective bargaining agreement as clear is in clear violation of 147 00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:40,160 Speaker 1: the RLA. The lawsuit states, you know, these pilots with 148 00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:44,080 Speaker 1: Southwest Airlines, in my opinion, are heroes because they're standing 149 00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:45,680 Speaker 1: up for their rights. I know there's people they're gonna 150 00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:48,320 Speaker 1: be mad at them, and I understand that, right, there's 151 00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:50,040 Speaker 1: people that are upset with them, and I get it. 152 00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:52,920 Speaker 1: I I really do. I understand it, all right, I do. 153 00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:56,480 Speaker 1: I understand why you're upset. You don't want your flight 154 00:08:56,960 --> 00:09:00,800 Speaker 1: to be canceled. But at the same time, don't be 155 00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:04,360 Speaker 1: mad at the pilots. Don't be mad at the staff. 156 00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:07,160 Speaker 1: If you want to be mad at somebody, be mad 157 00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:09,840 Speaker 1: at the airlines and be madth the government putt for 158 00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:12,600 Speaker 1: putting these mandates on these pilots who are finally saying no. 159 00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:18,880 Speaker 1: And the scumbags with big media not telling you the 160 00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:24,720 Speaker 1: real story is flat out disgusting. Even the Dallas Morning 161 00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:28,000 Speaker 1: News lying to the people in Dallas where love Field 162 00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:29,840 Speaker 1: is saying, oh, well, this is a flat This had 163 00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:32,640 Speaker 1: to do with the FAA, and sure no it did not. 164 00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:37,199 Speaker 1: They said it had to deal with an ambitious schedule. Noah, 165 00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:44,640 Speaker 1: that's alive from Southwest Airlines. These disruptions were not because 166 00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:47,040 Speaker 1: of whether. If they were, all these other airlines would 167 00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:52,560 Speaker 1: have had huge disruptions and they did not either. Now 168 00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:54,920 Speaker 1: I have lost a lot of respect for Southwest Airlines. 169 00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:57,000 Speaker 1: I'm going to read you their statement quote, we're experiencing 170 00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:59,160 Speaker 1: weather challenges in our Florida airport at the beginning of 171 00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:02,440 Speaker 1: the weekend, challenge that were compounded by unexpected air traffic 172 00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:04,840 Speaker 1: control issues in the same region. That's just a lie. 173 00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:09,320 Speaker 1: The FAA has already said that's a lie. They said 174 00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:12,480 Speaker 1: that trigger delays and prompted significant cancelations for US beginning 175 00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:16,560 Speaker 1: Friday evening. That's also a lie. The spokesperson for Southwest Airline, 176 00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:20,360 Speaker 1: Bred Hawkins, is a liar. Quote. We've continued diligent work 177 00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:22,720 Speaker 1: throughout the weekend to resenter operations with a focus on 178 00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:26,240 Speaker 1: getting aircraft and crews reposition to take care of our customers. 179 00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:30,360 Speaker 1: With fewer frequencies between cities and our current schedule, recovering 180 00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:33,959 Speaker 1: during operational challenges is more difficult and prolonged. Again, that's 181 00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:38,960 Speaker 1: a lie. They're lying to you, and the Dallas More 182 00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:40,679 Speaker 1: News should say that, but they're not now and they 183 00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:43,920 Speaker 1: will write this quote. North Airline reported widespread delays or 184 00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:47,720 Speaker 1: cancelation issues. The Federal Aviation Administration said it had staffing 185 00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:50,440 Speaker 1: issues at just one facility in Jacksonville that combined with 186 00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:54,479 Speaker 1: military training widespreads of your weather created delays and cancelations. 187 00:10:55,400 --> 00:11:02,240 Speaker 1: Now the other airlines had to deal with these same problems. Yeah, 188 00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:05,880 Speaker 1: two days in a row. Come on, folks, We're smarter 189 00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:09,880 Speaker 1: than this. Finally, the Dallas Morning News way down their 190 00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:12,880 Speaker 1: article when most people have already tuned out, said a 191 00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:15,559 Speaker 1: few hundred delays and cancelations can grow into thousands over 192 00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:18,640 Speaker 1: a weekend, quote unions for pilots and flight attendants to 193 00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:22,000 Speaker 1: blame the airlines for spreading operations too thin. Social media 194 00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:24,280 Speaker 1: posts from stringed travelers were quick to blame the problem 195 00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:28,200 Speaker 1: on the airlines recently announced vaccine mandate. Oh so see 196 00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:31,079 Speaker 1: you guys on social media, you're really just making up crap. 197 00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:34,800 Speaker 1: Southwest Airlines pilot associations, which issue the airline over the 198 00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:37,160 Speaker 1: treatment of pilots in recent months, said pilots were not 199 00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:42,439 Speaker 1: intentionally causing any disruption. To retaliate over the airlines mandating 200 00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:45,440 Speaker 1: vaccinations for all employees to comply with federal government rules, 201 00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:48,760 Speaker 1: well they suit on Friday, Come on, connect the dots. 202 00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:53,400 Speaker 1: Swap up is aware of the operational difficulties affecting Southwest 203 00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:55,520 Speaker 1: Airlines to day due to a number of issues, but 204 00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:58,120 Speaker 1: we can say with confidence that our pilots are not 205 00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:03,319 Speaker 1: participating in any of this shoal job actions that you 206 00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:09,840 Speaker 1: said in a statement got it wink. In recent months, 207 00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:13,360 Speaker 1: forth Worth based American Airlines and Spirit Airlines also experienced 208 00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:16,520 Speaker 1: similar operational problems, and it sometimes took as long as 209 00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:18,920 Speaker 1: a week for the airlines to get enough planes and 210 00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:23,720 Speaker 1: crew members back in place to stop the fallout. On Sunday, 211 00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:26,240 Speaker 1: Southwest executive vice president Daily Operations and a memo to 212 00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:29,880 Speaker 1: employees apologizing for the operational problems. I'm sure knowing it 213 00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:32,960 Speaker 1: be releaked to the media to quote, I'm sorry for 214 00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:36,480 Speaker 1: the struggles that you and our customers are experiencing. Once again, 215 00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:38,559 Speaker 1: he said in a memo. Although we have we were 216 00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:41,160 Speaker 1: staffed for the weekend, we could not participate this significant 217 00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:45,280 Speaker 1: disruption that was created from unexpected air traffic control issues 218 00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:49,440 Speaker 1: and bad weather across our Florida stations. No one's believing this. 219 00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:54,840 Speaker 1: Just so you know, the pilots are feeding information to 220 00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:58,240 Speaker 1: guys like me, and they are absolutely saying this as 221 00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:03,720 Speaker 1: a walk out because they're being treated like they have 222 00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:12,319 Speaker 1: no rights. Good for them. This is proof of exactly 223 00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:15,720 Speaker 1: what can happen when you join together and you fight back, 224 00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:22,040 Speaker 1: plain and simple, when you join together and you fight 225 00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:25,480 Speaker 1: back and you disrupt things like they're doing. And I 226 00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:30,360 Speaker 1: hope other airlines do it too. You know, when they 227 00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:32,800 Speaker 1: start putting this crap on these big businesses, I hope 228 00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:36,480 Speaker 1: a lot of people start fighting back. I hope there's 229 00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:40,040 Speaker 1: a lot of people that say no more. I hope 230 00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:42,240 Speaker 1: there's a lot of people that say, oh, I'm not 231 00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:45,440 Speaker 1: putting up with this crap. I'm not going to be 232 00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:49,120 Speaker 1: treated this way. I'm not gonna be treated like I 233 00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:51,320 Speaker 1: have no rights. I'm not gonna be treated like I 234 00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:55,800 Speaker 1: like like I have no ability to stand up for myself, 235 00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:59,520 Speaker 1: no ability to fight back, that my feelings are, my 236 00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:03,120 Speaker 1: health is something they can just dictate to me and 237 00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:06,240 Speaker 1: tell me that I must do it. I hope that 238 00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:10,559 Speaker 1: everybody is paying attention to this, and I hope that 239 00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:14,640 Speaker 1: everybody's paying attention to this realizes that there is power 240 00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:21,400 Speaker 1: in numbers. These Southwest Airline pilots are heroes. You know. 241 00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:24,360 Speaker 1: You look at what's happening in California right now, another 242 00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:30,960 Speaker 1: great example. So California is losing their minds right now 243 00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:33,720 Speaker 1: and deciding that the most important thing for the people 244 00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:37,840 Speaker 1: in California is to save them from the shopping aisle 245 00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:41,400 Speaker 1: of the kids toys section. Gavin Newsom is set now 246 00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:46,240 Speaker 1: signed a law requiring gender neutral aisles in toy stores 247 00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:48,640 Speaker 1: so that kids don't think that there are certain toys 248 00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:51,200 Speaker 1: they should play with because they're a boy, and there's 249 00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:53,240 Speaker 1: other toys they should play with because they're a girl. 250 00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:57,400 Speaker 1: They say it's pure evil and they're gonna stop it now. Well, 251 00:14:57,400 --> 00:15:00,360 Speaker 1: this is happening. You have a state that's like totally 252 00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:02,400 Speaker 1: out of control. In fact, I want to play for you. 253 00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:06,320 Speaker 1: What's happening right now with you as ports, specifically in 254 00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:10,320 Speaker 1: California that are facing a record backlog ahead of the 255 00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:13,400 Speaker 1: holiday season. And instead of dealing with this issue at 256 00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:17,200 Speaker 1: the ports in California, oh no, no, no, we're we're 257 00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:19,760 Speaker 1: gonna make sure we got a gender neutral toy section. 258 00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:23,640 Speaker 1: There are growing concerns we could see empty store shelves 259 00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:26,240 Speaker 1: this holiday season. A lot of shipment's remain stuck at 260 00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:29,600 Speaker 1: sea because of supply chain issues. So who's to blame 261 00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:32,560 Speaker 1: and what's being done to fix it? CBS is Carter 262 00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:37,680 Speaker 1: Evans went looking for answers. Normally you have more Barbie's, Yes, normally. 263 00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:41,160 Speaker 1: The whole thing has Barbie's holiday sales are high stakes 264 00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:43,360 Speaker 1: for the Game Chess toy store. So do you think 265 00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:44,960 Speaker 1: hot wheels are going to sell out this here? They're 266 00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:46,840 Speaker 1: absolutely going to sell out if you want to train 267 00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:50,880 Speaker 1: for Christmas by it now. Store owner Miriam Alhamami says 268 00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:53,920 Speaker 1: almost all of her toys are already out on the floor. 269 00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:57,520 Speaker 1: She started ordering for the holidays in March. So what 270 00:15:57,640 --> 00:15:59,960 Speaker 1: happens when the stuff on your shelves here sells out? 271 00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:03,480 Speaker 1: I don't have anything to replace it with. New orders 272 00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:07,640 Speaker 1: likely won't arrive by Christmas. That's because goods made overseas 273 00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:11,080 Speaker 1: are spending a record amount of time in transit. Cargo 274 00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:14,040 Speaker 1: ships are crowding ports from New York to Los Angeles, 275 00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:17,720 Speaker 1: where a quarter million containers are currently floating off the coast. 276 00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:21,160 Speaker 1: According to LA Port director Jeans A. Rokan, these stacks 277 00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:23,920 Speaker 1: of containers seem to be growing. There's no room to 278 00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:26,840 Speaker 1: put this cargo. Our docks are full. People need to 279 00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:29,480 Speaker 1: come and pick up their cargo. Only half the truck 280 00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:32,840 Speaker 1: drivers registered to do business here visit us at least 281 00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:35,920 Speaker 1: once a week. We need more drivers on the job. Truckers, 282 00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:37,640 Speaker 1: By the way, you want to know who's to blame, 283 00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:39,240 Speaker 1: for this. I love how they start at the beginning 284 00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:41,080 Speaker 1: of this and they're like, who do we blame for this? 285 00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:42,680 Speaker 1: I think, exactly, you blame for this. You blame the 286 00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:46,880 Speaker 1: Biden administration. You blame all these comedies in California that 287 00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:49,760 Speaker 1: have incentivized people to not work, have paid them to 288 00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:52,480 Speaker 1: not work. You want to know who to blame. That's 289 00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:55,760 Speaker 1: who you blame here, and not because you're like trying 290 00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:58,080 Speaker 1: to find someone to blame. All right, I don't want 291 00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:01,440 Speaker 1: to make that clear. I'm not advocating for finding someone 292 00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:04,159 Speaker 1: to blame just to blame them, just to point the 293 00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:08,360 Speaker 1: finger at them. This is just the reality of the situation. 294 00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:13,600 Speaker 1: The reality is that you can't find a worker in 295 00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:17,640 Speaker 1: this country. We found out today they're thirteen plus million 296 00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:21,680 Speaker 1: job openings right now in a country with five percent unemployment. 297 00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:23,600 Speaker 1: But those numbers are much higher in California and other 298 00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:27,359 Speaker 1: states that are liberal because we have de incentivized people 299 00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:32,320 Speaker 1: to go to work. That's right, we have d incentivized 300 00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:37,320 Speaker 1: people to go to work. Now, you may say, are 301 00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:40,360 Speaker 1: we really de incentivising people to go to work? Yes, yes, 302 00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:43,760 Speaker 1: we really are. We have said that we will take 303 00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:45,879 Speaker 1: care of you. We have said we will be a 304 00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:49,760 Speaker 1: nanny state for you. We have said that whatever you need, 305 00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:51,879 Speaker 1: the government will provide for you. You don't need to 306 00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:57,040 Speaker 1: go to work. That's what we've done. So when you 307 00:17:57,080 --> 00:17:58,840 Speaker 1: ask where are the drivers and why are they not 308 00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:02,159 Speaker 1: showing up? Ask such a dumb question on TV, please 309 00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:08,399 Speaker 1: CBS News because the answer is already there. Okay, the 310 00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:13,919 Speaker 1: answer is already there. The answer is very clear. The 311 00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:18,560 Speaker 1: answer to the question is obvious. The Biden administration has 312 00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:24,200 Speaker 1: clearly deincentivized people from even going to work. I cannot 313 00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:27,359 Speaker 1: tell you how many small businesses right now are teetering 314 00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:31,120 Speaker 1: because they can't find workers. Cannot tell you right now 315 00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:34,399 Speaker 1: what's happened to profit margins in this country. When it 316 00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:38,920 Speaker 1: comes to restaurants and it comes to retail, you can't 317 00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:40,840 Speaker 1: find people to work. And when you find people that work, 318 00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:43,199 Speaker 1: you're having to overpay them just to get them to 319 00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:44,760 Speaker 1: show up. And the quality of the work is not 320 00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:47,080 Speaker 1: going up with the money you're having to offer. It's 321 00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:52,159 Speaker 1: just pure survival of your business. I know people that 322 00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:55,920 Speaker 1: we had a real conversation. I was at a conservative 323 00:18:55,920 --> 00:19:01,320 Speaker 1: conference this weekend Amfest, and out accow coversation with multiple 324 00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:03,080 Speaker 1: small business owners that are all say in the same thing, 325 00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:05,080 Speaker 1: I'm going to figure out a way to start making 326 00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:06,800 Speaker 1: money without having to depend on people to show up 327 00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:10,480 Speaker 1: to make that money, because I can't find dependable workers, 328 00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:14,159 Speaker 1: and I can't compete with a government giving people free 329 00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:17,840 Speaker 1: money to not go to work. They said that even 330 00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:19,480 Speaker 1: the workers that I'm getting now that I'm having to 331 00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:21,760 Speaker 1: pay premium to even get them to show up, they're 332 00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:24,760 Speaker 1: not better workers. They're just they're they're lazy. Many of 333 00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:27,480 Speaker 1: them are extremely lazy because they know that you're less 334 00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:31,040 Speaker 1: likely to fire them because there's no one to replace them. 335 00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:36,240 Speaker 1: And the workers have figured that out right. They realize 336 00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:39,159 Speaker 1: that they can be a lazy employee right now and 337 00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:44,320 Speaker 1: probably get away with it. So when CBS students like, 338 00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:47,119 Speaker 1: we're gonna figure this out, We're gonna figure out who's 339 00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:51,159 Speaker 1: to blame for all of these port shortage its driver shortages, 340 00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:55,840 Speaker 1: it's workers at the dock shortages. And it's not like 341 00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:57,920 Speaker 1: they're not offering you good money to do this. It's 342 00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:00,800 Speaker 1: how do you compete with a govern that pays you 343 00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:06,520 Speaker 1: to not work? Now, the government's like, well, if you 344 00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:09,359 Speaker 1: just pay people living wage, right, Democrats say that then 345 00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:12,000 Speaker 1: people would show for work. That's no longer true. Everybody 346 00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:15,720 Speaker 1: I know now is at a quote wage depending on 347 00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:17,119 Speaker 1: where you're on the country. A lot of places are 348 00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:20,359 Speaker 1: well about fifteen dollars an hour. Okay, in places that 349 00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:23,159 Speaker 1: are a lot less expensive to live, everybody I know 350 00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:26,640 Speaker 1: is at twelve, thirteen, fourteen dollars an hour minimum. People 351 00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:30,879 Speaker 1: are offering signing bonuses. Now again, you look at the 352 00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:34,159 Speaker 1: number of job openings in this country as we speak. 353 00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:36,960 Speaker 1: You want to know who to blame. You blame a 354 00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:40,600 Speaker 1: federal government and the Biden administration Democrats that have actually 355 00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:44,600 Speaker 1: incentivized people to not work. Now, there's others that will 356 00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:47,080 Speaker 1: say to you, well, Ben, hold on a second, the 357 00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:50,440 Speaker 1: federal government isn't giving as much as the private sector. Again, 358 00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:53,240 Speaker 1: You've got to think about this. If I can have 359 00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:56,120 Speaker 1: zero responsibility and let's say make the equivalent of twelve 360 00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:58,520 Speaker 1: dollars an hour, or I have to wake up and 361 00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:00,800 Speaker 1: actually go do manual labor for feen dours an hour 362 00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:03,520 Speaker 1: fifteen hours an hour, which one am I going to choose? 363 00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:06,000 Speaker 1: A lot of people are going to choose the total 364 00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:11,000 Speaker 1: freedom and lack of responsibility option. Happily for twelve dollar 365 00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:14,399 Speaker 1: equivalent an hour, And that is exactly what the federal 366 00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:20,359 Speaker 1: government has done. So don't act like you can't figure 367 00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:26,160 Speaker 1: out this equation at CBS News. Okay, I'm gonna back 368 00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:29,080 Speaker 1: it up a little bit. I want you to hear 369 00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:31,280 Speaker 1: again as they try to act like this is some 370 00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:35,000 Speaker 1: grand mystery, it's not. A port director Jeans Siroco. These 371 00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:38,080 Speaker 1: stacks of containers seem to be growing. There's no room 372 00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:41,000 Speaker 1: to put this cargo. Our docks are fulled. People need 373 00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:43,439 Speaker 1: to come and pick up their cargo. Only half the 374 00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:46,800 Speaker 1: truck drivers registered to do business here visit us at 375 00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:49,480 Speaker 1: least once a week. We need more drivers on the job. 376 00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:52,879 Speaker 1: Trucker George and I A says support needs to move faster. 377 00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:55,119 Speaker 1: You had an appointment at seven pm to pick up 378 00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:57,800 Speaker 1: a load. Yes, I didn't get either till two am. 379 00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:00,359 Speaker 1: Before this year, how many loads so we could you 380 00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:03,680 Speaker 1: pick up? About twenty or so? And how many now 381 00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:07,800 Speaker 1: about six? The Port of la does not operate around 382 00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:10,200 Speaker 1: the clock, like ports and other parts of the world. 383 00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:12,560 Speaker 1: President biden Is said he'd like to see the ports 384 00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:15,520 Speaker 1: operating twenty four hours. Why isn't that happening. You've got 385 00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:18,000 Speaker 1: so many nodes of the supply chain that have to 386 00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:20,000 Speaker 1: get on the same schedule. If we can get the 387 00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:23,200 Speaker 1: warehouses to open around the clock, that would be important 388 00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:27,880 Speaker 1: to us. Forty percent of Alhamammi's business depends on holiday shopping. 389 00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:31,679 Speaker 1: It's tough as a consumer because I also am going 390 00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:35,240 Speaker 1: to celebrate prosiness, and it's tough as a business owner. 391 00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:40,240 Speaker 1: It's gotten so bad that some large retailers are going 392 00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:42,800 Speaker 1: to extremes just to avoid the log chin here at 393 00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:47,199 Speaker 1: Los Angeles. Companies like Walmart have chartered entire ships to 394 00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:50,919 Speaker 1: deliver goods to less congested ports. Of course, that adds 395 00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:55,960 Speaker 1: tremendous costs that small businesses just can't afford. You listen 396 00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:59,720 Speaker 1: to these small business owners right now. They got decimated 397 00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:04,760 Speaker 1: as the lockdowns. They got decimated because of what happened 398 00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:09,640 Speaker 1: with the economy. They got decimated with COVID on top 399 00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:12,439 Speaker 1: of the lockdowns, on top of the bureaucrats and all 400 00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:15,840 Speaker 1: the bs that they've done, and now they're going to 401 00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:18,520 Speaker 1: get nailed again. When as you heard this toy store, 402 00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:24,400 Speaker 1: forty percent of her entire years businesses in the holidays. 403 00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:27,600 Speaker 1: She has nothing to sell. She will sell out of 404 00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:33,399 Speaker 1: everything that she has, but she can't charter a boat 405 00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:36,440 Speaker 1: like the big box stores Cam, we can't. We heard 406 00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:39,880 Speaker 1: about Costco. They've chartered boats out for two years. They 407 00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:43,360 Speaker 1: have multiple ships that they are now chartering that they 408 00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:48,399 Speaker 1: are using just for them. Now, I've heard a ton 409 00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:49,760 Speaker 1: of people say the same thing over and over again. 410 00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:53,239 Speaker 1: You better get your Christmas shopping done now, because if 411 00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:55,720 Speaker 1: you don't get your Christmas shopping done now, don't expect 412 00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:57,920 Speaker 1: to have anything when it comes close. If you're waiting 413 00:23:58,040 --> 00:23:59,400 Speaker 1: till the last day. If you're one of those kind 414 00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:04,440 Speaker 1: of shoppers, good luck, Because she said, once the stuff 415 00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:08,199 Speaker 1: on my shelves is sold, I don't have anything to 416 00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:11,880 Speaker 1: replace it with. And look at the date, we're more 417 00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:14,880 Speaker 1: than two months away. You think you can wait till 418 00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:17,960 Speaker 1: Black Friday to get the good stuff? No, good luck. 419 00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:20,720 Speaker 1: You think you can wait a long time to get this? No, 420 00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:24,920 Speaker 1: you can't go again, good luck? See how that works 421 00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:30,560 Speaker 1: out for you. This is the new reality. And while 422 00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:33,400 Speaker 1: this is happening, instead of actually dealing with what's going 423 00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:36,920 Speaker 1: on at the port, Gavin Knews some assigning laws requiring 424 00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:42,080 Speaker 1: gender neutral iyers in toy stores. These toy stores won't 425 00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:45,960 Speaker 1: even be around if you don't help them get the 426 00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:53,080 Speaker 1: applies they need at the ports. For Christmas. You listen 427 00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:55,720 Speaker 1: that last lady doing that interview, and you listen to 428 00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:58,960 Speaker 1: what she said, and you listen to house she said it. 429 00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:02,320 Speaker 1: She may go out of business and never come back. 430 00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:05,000 Speaker 1: She's already having to compete with Amazon, She's already having 431 00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:07,200 Speaker 1: to compete with online retailer. She's already having to compete 432 00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:11,600 Speaker 1: with Walmart. It's already hard enough. We're making it impossible 433 00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:14,000 Speaker 1: for these small business owners even survive, and then we're 434 00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:16,480 Speaker 1: having to pay wages through the roof. Just get anybody 435 00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:19,120 Speaker 1: to show up, because every small business is now competing 436 00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:22,000 Speaker 1: with the federal government, who gives you the best job 437 00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:23,960 Speaker 1: you've ever had in your life, a job where you 438 00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:26,879 Speaker 1: don't even have to show up to get paid. Every 439 00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:29,960 Speaker 1: single small business in America is competing with the government 440 00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:34,600 Speaker 1: who gave you the best job you ever had, literally 441 00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:37,439 Speaker 1: paying you to stay at home and to not work. 442 00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:41,520 Speaker 1: We had a dismal act, not just a way horrific 443 00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:45,200 Speaker 1: jobs report that came out on Friday, a job's report 444 00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:48,840 Speaker 1: that's saying that came so close now, I mean, I 445 00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:52,480 Speaker 1: mean so not even close to the expectations of what 446 00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:55,520 Speaker 1: people thought. And the reason why that happens is pretty clear. 447 00:25:56,480 --> 00:25:59,960 Speaker 1: The reason why it happened was obvious because this administration 448 00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:05,560 Speaker 1: and has incentivized people to not work. I want you 449 00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:09,520 Speaker 1: to hear part of a conversation on Fox News Channel 450 00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:13,000 Speaker 1: with Maria Bartoma warning that the US is becoming a 451 00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:17,679 Speaker 1: welfare state, saying it's having a very negative impact on 452 00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:21,520 Speaker 1: the American people because we're literally incentivising people to be 453 00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:26,639 Speaker 1: lazy and to not work, to be lazy and to 454 00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:31,359 Speaker 1: not work. And these new job numbers proved when there 455 00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:38,400 Speaker 1: are eleven million jobs open today, Well, unfortunately, there are 456 00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:41,800 Speaker 1: eleven million jobs, but employers can't get the people to 457 00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:44,240 Speaker 1: come back to work to take the jobs. So you 458 00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:46,280 Speaker 1: can have all the jobs in the world, but if 459 00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:49,480 Speaker 1: an employer actually can't find that skilled person to put 460 00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:52,440 Speaker 1: in that job, you're out of a job, and you're 461 00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:55,160 Speaker 1: out of a person getting that job. So that's why 462 00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:59,080 Speaker 1: I'm focusing on this labor participation rate. It sounds complicated, 463 00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:03,360 Speaker 1: it's not sixty one percent of those people are actually participating. 464 00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:05,640 Speaker 1: That means they're either looking for a job or they're 465 00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:08,520 Speaker 1: in the workforce right now. This is the number that 466 00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:11,720 Speaker 1: sticks out to you in this report because it underlines 467 00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:14,680 Speaker 1: the negative impact of all of that stimulus being thrown 468 00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:19,880 Speaker 1: at people. Even though the unemployment extended benefits went away, 469 00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:23,600 Speaker 1: They're still saying, I'm not ready to go back to work. 470 00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:27,159 Speaker 1: I've got enough money, and I'm expecting more money to 471 00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:31,240 Speaker 1: come at me. Creating this welfare state. Not good. This 472 00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:37,639 Speaker 1: welfare state negative impact of the simulus being thrown at people. 473 00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:43,800 Speaker 1: You look at these numbers. The Labor Department is reporting 474 00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:46,280 Speaker 1: a sixty one percent labor participation right in the United 475 00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:49,440 Speaker 1: States of America. That means thirty nine percent of Americans 476 00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:54,239 Speaker 1: are just not participating in working. And she said, these 477 00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:56,840 Speaker 1: jobs reports share the United States has created a welfare state, 478 00:27:56,920 --> 00:28:00,240 Speaker 1: plain and simple, as a result of the stimulus money 479 00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:04,720 Speaker 1: being thrown all these people. You have eleven million job openings, 480 00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:09,119 Speaker 1: you have empty shelves and people begging for employees. But 481 00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:11,200 Speaker 1: employers can't get the people to come back to work 482 00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:14,679 Speaker 1: to take these jobs because the government's still sending them money. 483 00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:20,879 Speaker 1: And even though the extended benefits, the bonus money has 484 00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:23,720 Speaker 1: gone away, people are still saying, no, I'm not ready 485 00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:25,160 Speaker 1: to go back to work. I've kind of gotten used 486 00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:27,840 Speaker 1: to this, kind of gotten used to the government just 487 00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:31,399 Speaker 1: giving me stuff, right, I've kind of gotten used to 488 00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:35,439 Speaker 1: the government just handing me over a pretty decent amount 489 00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:38,840 Speaker 1: of money every month. I've gotten used to maybe working 490 00:28:39,040 --> 00:28:42,320 Speaker 1: under the table a little bit, getting a little cash 491 00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:46,040 Speaker 1: here and there. Right, I've got I've gotten used to that. 492 00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:52,320 Speaker 1: It's pretty nice when this happens, right, You get free 493 00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:57,960 Speaker 1: money and there's zero accountability. You don't have to go 494 00:28:58,040 --> 00:29:01,040 Speaker 1: to work, you don't have to do anything. You just 495 00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:07,120 Speaker 1: get to hang out and we send you money. We 496 00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:13,760 Speaker 1: literally send you cash.
