Speaker 1: You're listening to Comedy CENTRALOW.
Speaker 2: Normally, when I'm in search of an angry mob of
Speaker 2: people screaming anti science, deep state vaccine, microchip conspiracy jazz,
Speaker 2: I head to the heartland of America. But it turns
Speaker 2: out I can find those very same people right here
Speaker 2: in my own backyard in New York City. That's right.
Speaker 2: Last week, outside of Mayor Bill Deblasio's home, there was
Speaker 2: a group protesting his new mandate that customers show proof
Speaker 2: of vaccination in order to enter restaurants, gyms, and theaters.
Speaker 2: It was a mix of hardcore anti vaxxers, people who
Speaker 2: are okay with vaccines but hated the mandate, and then,
Speaker 2: of course some people who put together a joker costume
Speaker 2: once loved the attention, so now that's pretty much all
Speaker 2: they do.
Speaker 3: I'm the only one in my family that hasn't gotten
Speaker 3: the vaccine. It's not approved by FDA. I don't know
Speaker 3: what's in that. Women are miscarrying, people are having a
Speaker 3: DNA's wiped out.
Speaker 4: What what do you mean the completely wiped out?
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're telling women that it's okay for you to
Speaker 3: get the vaccine.
Speaker 4: What does it mean their DNA has wiped out right.
Speaker 4: Their the immunity, their immunity.
Speaker 2: It's getting like COVID wiped out six hundred thousand DNAs. Yes,
Speaker 2: of course, you know.
Speaker 5: Actually some people have died from the vaccine.
Speaker 4: Don't believe me, Go to the media, go to the Google.
Speaker 2: Or some people have died from COVID. Yes, so many
Speaker 2: more than from the vaccine.
Speaker 5: One thing with me, I try not to argue facts.
Speaker 6: I don't believe that suggesting strongly and coming out with
Speaker 6: mandates for a vaccine is a way of medical intervention.
Speaker 4: This is not what I believe in.
Speaker 2: That's a lot of quotes. People from both sides of
Speaker 2: the issue came from far and wide to express their
Speaker 2: hate or love of vaccines.
Speaker 4: I think you're killing people.
Speaker 7: Here.
Speaker 8: Let me hopeful you know and Ted Cruse have both
Speaker 8: the vaccinated.
Speaker 2: This is why I love doing interviews in New York.
Speaker 2: You're from Pennsylvania, yes, because we know it's coming to Pennsylvania.
Speaker 2: How important is it like that to think ahead to
Speaker 2: protect something before it gets out of control. It's everything.
Speaker 6: It's everything, because once it's gone out of control, you.
Speaker 4: Don't wheel it in right like.
Speaker 2: That's why it's important for everybody get a vaccine. Squash
Speaker 2: it before it gets out of control. That's why what
Speaker 2: it's important that we take the vaccine, squash it, get gone.
Speaker 9: Said that you want?
Speaker 2: Are you nuts? What were you talking about?
Speaker 10: Talking to you?
Speaker 4: What were you talking about? I am not for the vaccine.
Speaker 6: Are you want to mind?
Speaker 4: What you were just talking about?
Speaker 2: Getting ahead of it, getting ahead of the mandate. The
Speaker 2: mandate is what's spreading.
Speaker 4: Yes, we don't.
Speaker 2: Want the mandate to come to PA.
Speaker 4: We don't want to take the vaccine. Oh why should
Speaker 4: you see why?
Speaker 2: I'm confused? Though clearly putting potentially harmful toxins into your
Speaker 2: body was something these anti vax mandate health nuts we're
Speaker 2: very concerned about.
Speaker 4: Said that Da Cruz and are running for city council,
Speaker 4: running for New York office.
Speaker 2: That's a Republican.
Speaker 4: As a Republican, the science is still you.
Speaker 11: We still have Western marks. We rushed the science.
Speaker 4: We were moving at warp speed.
Speaker 2: Well, we moved the warp speed.
Speaker 4: Donald Trump rushed it?
Speaker 2: Not correct? Who rushed it?
Speaker 11: Who rushed it?
Speaker 12: Uh?
Speaker 2: Can I ask you how about if we change places?
Speaker 11: And then I started talking to you.
Speaker 4: You're the one who's running for public office.
Speaker 2: The Republicans of New York were clearly trying to move
Speaker 2: on from the past and in sough cases forgetting it completely.
Speaker 9: My name is Vishburgh and I'm the vice president of
Speaker 9: the New York Young Republican Club. This is a protest
Speaker 9: against the anti freedom mandates from a petty tyrant like
Speaker 9: Bill Deblasio.
Speaker 2: Do you think this is something that Founding fathers would
Speaker 2: be would support.
Speaker 9: The Founding fathers would support vaccine mandated? Yeah, no, I
Speaker 9: don't believe.
Speaker 4: So George Washington had a vaccine mandate.
Speaker 9: Well that's okay, Oh, that's okay.
Speaker 4: Oh he's a lower Founding father.
Speaker 9: I mean, I love the lore, but at the end
Speaker 9: of the day, we are the ones we have to
Speaker 9: deal with what is going on in America today.
Speaker 2: What are you gonna miss out on if this mandate
Speaker 2: prevents you from.
Speaker 9: Doing I just tried to get some time. I love
Speaker 9: Thai food. I just tried to get some Thai food
Speaker 9: around the corner. They told me I couldn't sit down
Speaker 9: and eat.
Speaker 4: That can't go in a restaurant, I can't go to
Speaker 4: music cloud.
Speaker 1: Fifty more people were not gonna go out to eat.
Speaker 4: Are they gonna get food exactly?
Speaker 2: Yeah, So maybe don't go out of state and come back.
Speaker 2: Who knows if only like the city had a seamless
Speaker 2: way to get food to their door, fresh direct way
Speaker 2: to get.
Speaker 4: There, you know, maybe that's it.
Speaker 2: Their point is this mandate is a slippery slope that
Speaker 2: only leads to hperbole.
Speaker 4: So many don't get it.
Speaker 13: It's nineteen thirty seven and never again is now.
Speaker 5: Do not comply to showing your papers.
Speaker 8: This is in Nazi Germany.
Speaker 4: Maybe you can help me out.
Speaker 2: I'm seeing signs that say vaccine mandates are fascism and
Speaker 2: also signs that say vaccine mandates are communism.
Speaker 4: Which one is?
Speaker 2: It's it's both those are dimsrically opposed ideologies.
Speaker 3: I don't think it's He's more like a dictatorship. Like
Speaker 3: we're living in like a Nazi Germany, and the only
Speaker 3: thing that's missing is the camps in the gas.
Speaker 2: That's what's happening right now. Yes, because you can't go
Speaker 2: to a concert, I can't go.
Speaker 3: To a concert, I can't go to a gym.
Speaker 2: Do you think that's what it was like in Nazi Germany?
Speaker 2: People were bitching about not going to a gym. Regardless
Speaker 2: of our differences, this was still new York a melting
Speaker 2: pot crammed onto an island, then pushed into a subway
Speaker 2: car with a rat eating pizza. You're not left or right.
Speaker 2: You're a New Yorker and we're in this together.
Speaker 9: I mean, I've heard that we we live in a
Speaker 9: society line a million times, and we're over it.
Speaker 4: The way the people think holds no sway for you.
Speaker 4: No we the people is who are then?
Speaker 2: Who are the.
Speaker 4: People of the way of the people that you are
Speaker 4: willing to support?
Speaker 8: It?
Speaker 9: Definitely not the illegal immigrants that are bringing COVID over
Speaker 9: over our border right now, that's for sure. I do
Speaker 9: not believe that vaccine mandates are constitutionally uh supported.
Speaker 2: Which is a bummer because the Supreme Court has upheld
Speaker 2: it many times. It's not my court, all right, Well, enjoy,
Speaker 2: I hope you don't get sick. Good luck to everyone
Speaker 2: out there, and may you get the padcu our founding
Speaker 2: fathers said you deserve to eat inside during a global pandemic.
Speaker 2: The discussion around vaccines and mandates tends to pit red
Speaker 2: state versus blue. But I had heard there was vaccine
Speaker 2: hesitancy and misinformation and the elitist of the elite Blue
Speaker 2: corners of the US. So I headed to a protest
Speaker 2: in sunny southern California. I came to California curious if
Speaker 2: the anti vax mandate crowd would talk to me. Then
Speaker 2: I realized I brought a camera and we're in southern California.
Speaker 2: I think I'll be fuck.
Speaker 4: Is this an anti vaccination?
Speaker 11: It's not an anti vax So don't go there.
Speaker 2: Don't go there.
Speaker 4: Please, don't.
Speaker 2: Are you vaccinated? I am not, so you're anti vaxed.
Speaker 4: I do not want to get the vaccination for COVID.
Speaker 2: Do you support people's freedom choice? Don't you benefit from
Speaker 2: a society that supports that by getting vaccinated?
Speaker 4: You shouldn't be able to for say that stuff on people.
Speaker 9: It's step one.
Speaker 4: Then it'll be step two.
Speaker 2: What's step two?
Speaker 5: Who knows?
Speaker 4: I'm not a conspiracy theorist series. We have step one
Speaker 4: with polio.
Speaker 9: You didn't really mandate that the people were docile back
Speaker 9: in the industrial stage, that they were more willing to
Speaker 9: take these shots.
Speaker 4: Polio is mandated for students going to school. Polyo has
Speaker 4: to be because we know what it's done.
Speaker 2: No, we know what COVID's done. I mean, there's seven
Speaker 2: hundred and fifty thousand people who have a pretty good idea. Jay,
Speaker 2: do you trust the vaccine whatsoever? Zero?
Speaker 12: Like zero percent? And because I know what the the
Speaker 12: end goal is?
Speaker 4: What's the end goal?
Speaker 12: Bill Gates said in the twenty fifteen if we can
Speaker 12: get all these health things vaccination, we can reduce the
Speaker 12: population by ten to fifteen percent. What's fifteen percent of
Speaker 12: seven billion? That's a billion people.
Speaker 2: The vaccine is all about depopulation. They've said that. So
Speaker 2: this is just Bill Gate's pet project to depopulate the globe.
Speaker 12: He's probably a puppet of the people above him.
Speaker 2: Which are who no clue. It's a big claim to
Speaker 2: say there is a giant plan to kill half the
Speaker 2: population and not have a thanos to point to. So
Speaker 2: why does the conversation on this sokel boardwalk sound like
Speaker 2: a shawnees In Lancaster, PA. I talked to Derek Barris,
Speaker 2: who's been tracking this coastal elite anti vax movement for years.
Speaker 14: You've had a long anti vaccines sentiment here. Specifically, in
Speaker 14: twenty seventeen, there was a measles outbreak right over there
Speaker 14: in Brentwood in Santa Monica where an eradicated disease in
Speaker 14: America sprung up again. This idea of bodily sovereignty has
Speaker 14: really come about since the pandemic, but that has been
Speaker 14: taught for decades inside of yoga studios in America.
Speaker 2: Bodily sovereignty sounds a lot like what I told my
Speaker 2: parents I was doing freshman year of high school.
Speaker 14: You have pretty liberal parents, then.
Speaker 2: Yeah, my body, I could do what I want with
Speaker 2: it as often as I want to do wherever I
Speaker 2: want in the living room. You still hear people hear
Speaker 2: about anti vax and they think maga world. But now
Speaker 2: we're this wellness which we see maybe more to the left.
Speaker 14: Center for Countering Digital Hate identified twelve practitioners in the
Speaker 14: wellness space that were responsible for something like seventy percent
Speaker 14: of the vaccine disinformation on social media.
Speaker 2: Turns out, ignoring the advice of the medical experts and
Speaker 2: sacrificing the health of the community at large can actually
Speaker 2: be quite profitable for the wellness business.
Speaker 14: Everyone knows about ivermectin and hydroxychloroquin at this moment, the
Speaker 14: idea that that could help you have meditations that are
Speaker 14: sold that are supposed to ward off COVID. You also
Speaker 14: have different breathing techniques. Some practitioners, including here in Los Angeles,
Speaker 14: teach breathing workshops because COVID is a respiratory illness, and
Speaker 14: so their belief is, well, if you're breathing properly, it
Speaker 14: won't actually affect you.
Speaker 2: You can breathe your way out of COVID.
Speaker 4: Absolutely, that's a class you can pay for.
Speaker 14: Yes, that is absolutely a class you could pay for.
Speaker 2: Like, how many smoothies does one have to ingest to
Speaker 2: get to the point where they can completely disregard the
Speaker 2: health of the community they live in.
Speaker 14: In Los Angeles one because they're usually twenty five dollars.
Speaker 4: I never knew there's that many parts of honey to ject.
Speaker 14: And the honey is blessed by a shaman from Tibet,
Speaker 14: so you're paying for that as well. You have to
Speaker 14: remember that.
Speaker 2: I wanted to talk to these people, so I set
Speaker 2: up outside of the boogiest health food market in Venice Beach,
Speaker 2: and I also had a hankering for an activated charcoal
Speaker 2: bone broth rose hip spoothy cur ale.
Speaker 4: Are you vaccinated?
Speaker 10: Maybe?
Speaker 7: No, I'm not. You're not.
Speaker 3: No.
Speaker 4: Are you fearful of catching COVID?
Speaker 7: No? No, I think that it's more about the lifestyle
Speaker 7: versus like vaccinated not vaccinated.
Speaker 2: What is the lifestyle like being healthy?
Speaker 7: Like taking care of yourself, like your mind, your body.
Speaker 7: If you live a lifestyle of wellness, then your body
Speaker 7: should be able to handle COVID.
Speaker 4: So what do you recommend for basic public health?
Speaker 10: Eating healthy, boosting your immunity system, and don't watch the
Speaker 10: news because it's just brainwashing you the fear, and the
Speaker 10: fear is lowering your frequency.
Speaker 2: I am to eat fish, and.
Speaker 10: Only certain kind of fish, like for example, I don't
Speaker 10: eat tuna. And I actually found that out when I
Speaker 10: was trying to feed tuna to my cat and she
Speaker 10: shook her head and walked off.
Speaker 2: Do you often take medical advice from a cat?
Speaker 10: In general? From nature?
Speaker 2: From nature? What do you think of the COVID vaccine?
Speaker 10: I don't think it's a vaccine. I think it's snapping
Speaker 10: the DNA in Huh.
Speaker 2: When did you hear this a Siamese cat? You recommend
Speaker 2: for public health? People meditating, of course, people working out
Speaker 2: in groups.
Speaker 11: Definitely, eating healthy, Definitely, COVID.
Speaker 2: Vaccine, No nook, coffee and ema possibly okay, maybe on
Speaker 2: the coffee nima definite, hard, no on the COVID vaccine.
Speaker 5: No, I'm not an anti vaxxer per se. I'm a
Speaker 5: staunch and dimndate person.
Speaker 4: Can I ask are you both vaccinated?
Speaker 2: Sorry, we don't for the status. I just you don't
Speaker 2: want to share your vaccine status. That's okay. I'm vaccinated
Speaker 2: and look how I look. Don't judge me. I know
Speaker 2: everybody in LA is judging people. I'm in LA five,
Speaker 2: the New York six, and a DC twelve to cold
Speaker 2: but fair. Now, what say you, dude? I want to
Speaker 2: talk about wellness and public health and trust me, we'll
Speaker 2: get to your script later. Can I ask you are
Speaker 2: you vaccinated?
Speaker 5: I am?
Speaker 2: Do you find that most people in Los Angeles that
Speaker 2: you encounter are vaccinats.
Speaker 5: Like I'm kind of a New Yorker?
Speaker 14: Yeah, And there there's a sense of like civic duty.
Speaker 14: There isn't so much of that here, to be totally honest,
Speaker 14: It's more like, well, I had to get vaccinated because
Speaker 14: I'm paying a trip to.
Speaker 2: To lou So if more Americans were dangled a trip
Speaker 2: to lou we might get that vaccination rate up in
Speaker 2: the nineties. No matter what part of the anti vaxx
Speaker 2: world they come from. There's one comparison they just can't
Speaker 2: resist making.
Speaker 10: I think what's interesting, especially coming from Germany. I think
Speaker 10: history is repeating itself right now?
Speaker 2: What are you saying that they've.
Speaker 10: Seen Mendetes and everything. It's like it's turning into a
Speaker 10: police date.
Speaker 4: And you're equating it to World War II era Germany.
Speaker 10: Yes, where is your papers? Where are your papers? It's
Speaker 10: very similar to the Hitler times.
Speaker 2: But like Jewish people are fleeing Poland because they can't
Speaker 2: get into gyms.
Speaker 10: It's not funny.
Speaker 4: But is that comparison?
Speaker 10: Though? You just didn't get the point. Sorry, I'm good bye.
Speaker 2: Maybe historical dramas aren't big in LA, but certainly there
Speaker 2: is commercial viability and saving humanity right or in LA.
Speaker 2: Maybe there's an elevator pitch here, right, so zoom in
Speaker 2: on a country at warwick itself, and then a magical
Speaker 2: cure comes along that helps people take care of the
Speaker 2: rest of their community by making a choice to help
Speaker 2: other people. Would you buy that ticket?
Speaker 7: No?
Speaker 2: Nope? Okay. Three weeks ago, north of the border, a
Speaker 2: new kind of protest emerged. The trucker convoy has arrived
Speaker 2: in Autawall, this city.
Speaker 10: In the downtown Core remains gridlocked.
Speaker 9: Some residencires say that they really can take no more.
Speaker 2: So I traveled to Ottawa expecting to find some Canada nice,
Speaker 2: but their messaging was a bit more. Course. These trucks
Speaker 2: shut down businesses and made roads impassable. Can I go?
Speaker 4: Can I go around here?
Speaker 2: How do I? How do I get around?
Speaker 8: But?
Speaker 2: How long were the protesters planning to paralyze Canada's cap
Speaker 2: best city?
Speaker 4: David?
Speaker 2: How long have you been here?
Speaker 4: I've been here, stay one, holding down the floor pretty much.
Speaker 4: I'm not going anywhere. I'm coming in from New York.
Speaker 4: I go by Brooklyn's kindness on the same.
Speaker 2: Baby, You're able to stay here up to two years.
Speaker 4: You're committed to be being here for two years?
Speaker 2: Yeah, because two years is nothing?
Speaker 4: Are you going to keep up the energy to be
Speaker 4: here for two years? People bring stimulants.
Speaker 2: The people will bring it. I spoke a lot of weed.
Speaker 9: Yeah, okay, right, yeah, but that's just to calm me
Speaker 9: down or keep me keep me centered.
Speaker 4: Are you ordering it at all with weed?
Speaker 2: Paranoia that might creep in?
Speaker 7: No?
Speaker 4: No, no, do you think the government is coming for you?
Speaker 5: Oh? Yeah?
Speaker 2: Costly?
Speaker 3: There are you like night a little tactics they try
Speaker 3: to if they move around, they move in, they add more.
Speaker 2: Are your paradise?
Speaker 11: No?
Speaker 15: Sure?
Speaker 2: What kind of stuff do you haul?
Speaker 8: I haul everything In twenty twenty, I hauled from food to.
Speaker 2: Building supplies to medical supply. You have my end table
Speaker 2: that I ordered from Wayfair like three weeks ago. Is
Speaker 2: probably a city either in Montreal or Toronto or get
Speaker 2: order it's it would really la grain in my apartment.
Speaker 2: So what exactly was the point of interrupting the supply chain?
Speaker 4: So what is this all about?
Speaker 11: You know what?
Speaker 2: Sorry, what is this all about?
Speaker 8: This is about our freedoms?
Speaker 2: Could you be any more generic?
Speaker 8: You know, if you are vaccinated, you get to do
Speaker 8: certain things. If you're not vaccinated, you don't. I don't
Speaker 8: think people should be divided. We should all be together united.
Speaker 2: We're setting up essentially a truck barrier to keep everybody
Speaker 2: together so they can be united. Yes, gotcha? Yeah, we
Speaker 2: might as well lock them in, sort of like a
Speaker 2: parent who locks the door and says, you guys are
Speaker 2: in here until the water runs out. You become friends
Speaker 2: or democracy crumbs.
Speaker 12: Yes, and if you're not vaccinated, you're literally a second
Speaker 12: class citizen in this country. I can't go to the restaurant,
Speaker 12: I can't go play hockey, I can't go watch the
Speaker 12: Ottawa Senators.
Speaker 2: We don't live in Germany.
Speaker 11: We don't live in Nazi Germany.
Speaker 15: Uth.
Speaker 5: Those days are over, so show me your papers don't
Speaker 5: happen anymore.
Speaker 2: That's a freedom that ever, shou is the Germany comparison
Speaker 2: a stretch here in Canada?
Speaker 4: No, are you afraid of cultural appropriation?
Speaker 2: Probably American cultural appropriation because we use the German excuse
Speaker 2: all the time. Oddly enough, that wasn't the only thing
Speaker 2: Canadians were appropriating.
Speaker 9: Yeah, I hate to use that slogan, but uh, make
Speaker 9: North America grade again and.
Speaker 1: Meet North America grade again.
Speaker 11: And I don't mean to use that guy's word, but
Speaker 11: it's true.
Speaker 4: To be honest, it wasn't even his. He's still from
Speaker 4: another guy before him.
Speaker 2: I see the Q army on your head.
Speaker 4: Isn't Q the American thing? Trying to find jfk' junior?
Speaker 2: Exactly? Yes, exactly what Q shit is going down here?
Speaker 7: You?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 2: Q is a you listen?
Speaker 4: Oh, so this is like a Yankees had I got it.
Speaker 2: Okay, the C thing might just be a fashion choice,
Speaker 2: but they're definitely reading the same Internet as many Americans.
Speaker 5: And it's more than.
Speaker 9: Just a vaccine past part of the stuff.
Speaker 11: What else The Agenda twenty thirty is a good start.
Speaker 4: On's Agenda twenty thirty.
Speaker 7: And try the world's hand toward Juan government.
Speaker 5: They want to sterilize U said, only certain people.
Speaker 10: Can have cats.
Speaker 2: You're afraid the government will sterilize you.
Speaker 5: Probably not me, but down the line.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but in two weeks in the cab of a
Speaker 2: truck pissing in a mountain, Deuke can tamping too good
Speaker 2: for the sperm production. Probably stare out of petty through
Speaker 2: what's today for so Margaret Atwood. Audio books are apparently
Speaker 2: a thing with Canadian truckers, and while shutting down a
Speaker 2: city seems to have many obvious downsides. Hey here's great.
Speaker 2: Hey Hi, Yeah, have you seen prius around here? Some
Speaker 2: see an opportunity coming from liberal gridlock.
Speaker 9: The truckers are bringing in customers.
Speaker 2: They're bringing in tourists from.
Speaker 5: Montreal, from all across Canada.
Speaker 2: Everybody wants to check this out. This is essentially a
Speaker 2: tourist booma.
Speaker 4: Right now.
Speaker 2: You can feel the tourism in the air, right you
Speaker 2: can smell and it smells like amphetamines and uh drift
Speaker 2: or blood.
Speaker 10: Definitely.
Speaker 2: The flood of eighteen wheeler driving tourists and their Canadian
Speaker 2: af outfits created legitimate tension with residents of the city.
Speaker 3: Knowing what you hear.
Speaker 2: The downtown was shut and there was palpable anger directed
Speaker 2: at local media.
Speaker 13: News is Live.
Speaker 1: They're still lying, guys, there's still lying.
Speaker 2: And even at the Daily Show.
Speaker 4: He wants this tyranny get food over here.
Speaker 2: We've been walking around here. Uh, there seems to be
Speaker 2: a real distrust of media here. Well, for sure, there's
Speaker 2: a lot of cameras up in your face, cameras on
Speaker 2: cameras and while Canadian looks authorities have finally enacted emergency
Speaker 2: measures to try to clear the convoy, so far the
Speaker 2: trucks are still there, and a well funded, never ending
Speaker 2: street party infused with misinformation and nationalism feels remarkably possible
Speaker 2: in our own land of the Free. Where does this
Speaker 2: movement and go from here?
Speaker 8: I believe it's going to be worldwide.
Speaker 2: It's going to come to America. Yes, definitely think this
Speaker 2: is inspiring the dickheads of America.
Speaker 4: Part of me, this is inspiring the dickheads of America.
Speaker 8: It's inspiring people people of America to join together to
Speaker 8: stand for freedom.
Speaker 2: Okay, if they do come to America, then maybe I'll
Speaker 2: finally get my feed end table. I'm in Johnson County
Speaker 2: of North Carolina, marching with anti mask protesters to what
Speaker 2: has become America's near Thunderdomin school board meetings, North Carolina
Speaker 2: parents are desperate to get their kids backed into schools,
Speaker 2: both packed ICUs and COVID cases and children four times
Speaker 2: what they were last year. New studies in the CDC
Speaker 2: are recommending masks as a way to keep in person learning,
Speaker 2: but packed school board meetings and new stars of the
Speaker 2: right are upset because putting on a piece of cloth
Speaker 2: is just too much.
Speaker 4: I'm against all mandates, so from there, I don't be.
Speaker 4: Where it's mask, where it's vaccinations, I'm against it.
Speaker 5: All masks will never protect Americans.
Speaker 4: Masks don't work.
Speaker 2: My child was suffering after wearing his mask.
Speaker 6: For so long.
Speaker 4: What kind of issues has he had? He's had acne
Speaker 4: on his face from you know, the mask covering and
Speaker 4: not letting his skin Breathe has he had COVID? No,
Speaker 4: but he has that acne. Yes, So have you had
Speaker 4: to choose. Now, what's wrong with having children wear masks
Speaker 4: in school?
Speaker 6: Well, you're breathing in the toxins that your body is
Speaker 6: trying to get rid of.
Speaker 4: How are surgeons to it?
Speaker 2: That is a good question. There's been some new studies
Speaker 2: that have come out, both by the CDC and by
Speaker 2: even Duke University talking about mask being helpful, especially in
Speaker 2: a school situation.
Speaker 5: I challenge anybody put a mask on and five minutes
Speaker 5: later smell that.
Speaker 2: So there's science and then there's the smell test, and
Speaker 2: you're going with the smell test. Yes, what are some
Speaker 2: of the ways kids suffer when they have to wear masks?
Speaker 15: I think breathing. I've done a little bit of research
Speaker 15: about the carbon and the oxide that people were saying
Speaker 15: is an issue now with the mask.
Speaker 2: Wearing a mask helps stop the spread of COVID in
Speaker 2: settings like a school, But they.
Speaker 15: They still they're outside like right now. I mean, I
Speaker 15: mean this is a kind of example. There's kids out
Speaker 15: there playing and stuff.
Speaker 4: Well, we're outside right now. When you go inside. Isn't
Speaker 4: it beneficial to wear a mask if you're close to someone?
Speaker 3: Uh?
Speaker 4: Uh No, I don't, I mean, I don't think zoo.
Speaker 2: The science says it is helpful to wear a mask
Speaker 2: so it doesn't spread when you're in close proximity indoors.
Speaker 4: The science, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 15: I don't think. I mean because they're oh, I don't know,
Speaker 15: I just do yeah, and it is I'm sorry.
Speaker 2: So some people are bewildered by science, both the practice
Speaker 2: and the word.
Speaker 4: But maybe scary images like full ICUs would.
Speaker 2: Have an impact wearing a mask.
Speaker 7: What's the harm?
Speaker 9: Well, for kids, the harm is they can't gauge emotional
Speaker 9: awareness of other kids.
Speaker 4: They don't see the facial expressions.
Speaker 2: Do you think not being able to seek people's lower
Speaker 2: halves of faced outweighs the dangers that COVID might pose
Speaker 2: to kids and communities.
Speaker 9: Well, the dangers are what you think they are.
Speaker 4: The ICUs here are full.
Speaker 9: Yeah, but how many positive tests in all of North
Speaker 9: Carolina have died?
Speaker 2: How many are sick?
Speaker 4: The ones in the ICU are pretty sick.
Speaker 5: Yeah many ICUs three times in the last year and
Speaker 5: a half with my wife and have questioned the nurses
Speaker 5: and doctors.
Speaker 2: You have ICUs full of people suffering from COVID right here.
Speaker 3: You know?
Speaker 5: Is that true? Are they just being the diagnosed with
Speaker 5: so paper? I walked through the hospitals. I video taken
Speaker 5: inside the hospitals and guess what is not full of
Speaker 5: COVID paces.
Speaker 2: Now, I'm worried about COVID and security measures at North
Speaker 2: Carolina hospitals. Like so many of these school board battles,
Speaker 2: it was never about just one thing, but more of
Speaker 2: a general airing of grievances. We got a governor here
Speaker 2: that thinks it's okay to have CRT in the classroom.
Speaker 9: The focus on hesitating and not indoctrinating our children here
Speaker 9: in North Carolina.
Speaker 5: No CRT, that's ridiculous. We're saving the kids from all
Speaker 5: that's going on with CRT critical race theory.
Speaker 2: Here in North Carolina. They don't need to learn about
Speaker 2: racism in school.
Speaker 5: Where are they going to learn about racism?
Speaker 4: Most walking past one of the tobacco field.
Speaker 5: Well, no, not walking past the tobacco field. So you know,
Speaker 5: it's not like that.
Speaker 2: It was hard to sum up the outrage of that afternoon.
Speaker 2: There were many thoughtful political statements being made, but looking around,
Speaker 2: it was difficult to miss the real catchphrase of the day.
Speaker 2: I don't co parent with the government.
Speaker 4: Well, you don't want to copare with the government. Don't
Speaker 4: get pregnant in taxes. There we go. Don't get pregnant anywhere.
Speaker 2: Your kids go to private school, enrolled in public school.
Speaker 2: Isn't that kind of co parenting with the government.
Speaker 4: No, it isn't, because you know why, we have a
Speaker 4: board of education.
Speaker 2: We also elect who our officials are. We get to
Speaker 2: have a voice, right, so you work with the government
Speaker 2: we do in parenting decisions. Yeah, you're in public school,
Speaker 2: so you do kind of copare with the government in
Speaker 2: that regard.
Speaker 7: I guess.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 9: If you want to say, my taxes pay for that, yeah, but.
Speaker 4: You're giving a back your child tax credit.
Speaker 2: So I mean, this crowd that was ready to fight
Speaker 2: for what they believed in was using the power of
Speaker 2: democracy that was bestowed upon all of us by our
Speaker 2: founding fathers.
Speaker 4: Did you vote for school board?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 15: No, I don't even vote.
Speaker 4: You don't even vote. You could vote for somebody who
Speaker 4: reflects your values.
Speaker 2: I could vote. You're right, but that's a hassle.
Speaker 10: Take the time to do what I'm so.
Speaker 2: But at the end of the day, they saw this
Speaker 2: as a fight against something much more disturbing than kids
Speaker 2: face coverings.
Speaker 11: It's terrible for them to wear masks.
Speaker 4: Absolutely it's just absolutely terrible.
Speaker 11: It's a sign of slavery.
Speaker 4: Basically, wear a mask a sign of flavory.
Speaker 2: I discovered in my research also that Satanist staying six
Speaker 2: feet apart, they wear masks during the rituals.
Speaker 4: Satanists Satanists rituals.
Speaker 2: That's big part wear masks.
Speaker 1: I don't know is a coincidence.
Speaker 11: I don't know.
Speaker 2: Satanism is where war with Satan aren't we doing? I
Speaker 2: think we're winning.
Speaker 4: Good Look, finally some good news.
Speaker 2: I have no fears, no fears, but a healthy belief
Speaker 2: in Satanism, and it's affecting the covid or.
Speaker 4: Absolutely.
Speaker 2: Vaccination is still going a bit slow in America, and
Speaker 2: we should be this talk by now, but we're not.
Speaker 2: And it's definitely gonna come up at your holiday gatherings,
Speaker 2: so that you're prepared for those conversations. Here is our
Speaker 2: gift to you. These are moments from past rallies we
Speaker 2: haven't shown before with some truly unique arguments from the
Speaker 2: vaccine hesitant crowd. I haven't seen that it's been life
Speaker 2: saving at all.
Speaker 3: I've seen a lot more people in the hospital after
Speaker 3: they got this vaccine than you know.
Speaker 2: It being right now, in North Carolina, ninety two percent
Speaker 2: of the people who are in the hospital because of
Speaker 2: COVID are unvaccinated. Is that wear you?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 2: No where?
Speaker 4: Nowadays? Can the unvaccinated congregate basically nowhere unless the former group? Yeah,
Speaker 4: unless it's the ICU.
Speaker 11: What's that you reminds you?
Speaker 2: That tends to be a where many of the unvaccinated congregate. O. Great, Yeah,
Speaker 2: the ICUs here are full.
Speaker 9: Yeah, but in the general scope of things, of the
Speaker 9: entire population of everybody who's been tested, what is that way.
Speaker 4: Out to a full ICU? Was just a full ICU?
Speaker 4: Kids need to see the lower half of other kids' faces.
Speaker 4: That seemed like a take.
Speaker 6: I'm not an anti vaxxer. Just don't be putting some
Speaker 6: shit in my don't be putting some stuff in my
Speaker 6: body that is improving.
Speaker 2: It's not proven, right, So your issues that maybe they
Speaker 2: rushed this through too fast?
Speaker 6: Absolutely?
Speaker 2: Do you feel like it was an issue that America
Speaker 2: moved at warp speed?
Speaker 12: Yes?
Speaker 2: I did. Who did you support in the last election?
Speaker 2: Do you think he deserves more credit for what he
Speaker 2: did with the vaccine kills?
Speaker 12: Me?
Speaker 6: Biden gets in Biden gets the credit for the vaccine Oh? Yeah,
Speaker 6: give me the vaccine.
Speaker 4: So Trump deserves more credit or less credit.
Speaker 2: I think Trump did what he could do, would to
Speaker 2: move the vaccine at warp speed he which you were
Speaker 2: against like a second ago. Do you have a distrust
Speaker 2: about some of the narratives that are going on?
Speaker 11: And I have a lot of distrust.
Speaker 2: Talk to me about that.
Speaker 11: It's too long.
Speaker 4: Where are you getting your information about that?
Speaker 5: I have a lot of information, just like you guys
Speaker 5: all get your information.
Speaker 2: Where do you go for your information?
Speaker 4: From a lot of places?
Speaker 2: Specifically, what are you gonna miss out on if this
Speaker 2: mandate prevents you from doing I.
Speaker 9: Just tried to get some tie I love thy food.
Speaker 9: I just tried to get some tay food around the corner.
Speaker 9: They told me I couldn't sit down and eat unless
Speaker 9: you know I had a vaccine mandate. Now, I believe
Speaker 9: things like that were said doing Martin Luther King when
Speaker 9: he tried to walk into places to eat. But they
Speaker 9: said they had a different reason to make him a
Speaker 9: second class citizen.
Speaker 2: Compare yourself to MLK are big words for a guy
Speaker 2: wearing eighties B boy jeans.
Speaker 9: Actually these are not eighties B boys jeans. They are
Speaker 9: new true religions. I know you can't tell because you're
Speaker 9: a Democrat and you can't afford these things.
Speaker 2: Well, enjoy.
Speaker 4: I hope you don't get sick.
Speaker 7: Thank you.
Speaker 9: I still haven't yet.
Speaker 1: Have you gotten COVID?
Speaker 5: I did?
Speaker 11: That sucks too bad for you.
Speaker 4: That's the empathety that the young Republicans bring.
Speaker 2: Thank you.
Speaker 4: Where are you getting your information?
Speaker 11: Everywhere?
Speaker 2: Everywhere?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 11: Well not everywhere, but like too those places internet by
Speaker 11: word of mouth.
Speaker 5: Here.
Speaker 11: I mean, you see uh a nice burrito and it
Speaker 11: has like farm fresh eggs in it.
Speaker 2: If you got to see the workers at visors make
Speaker 2: you a vaccine burrito, would you trust that?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 6: No, tens of thousands of people have already died from
Speaker 6: the vaccine when the flu vaccine came out, or seventy
Speaker 6: five people died and they stopped it.
Speaker 4: To rework thousands of people.
Speaker 2: Where do you get that stat?
Speaker 6: I get that stat from the Oh gosh, the p
Speaker 6: A V P E A R, the one that puts
Speaker 6: out the stats.
Speaker 4: Let me ask my levee CDC. No, not the CDC.
Speaker 2: What's that? People? What's that?
Speaker 4: What's that?
Speaker 5: The v U L.
Speaker 4: What did you say?
Speaker 12: They are violating bodily autonomy. They are creating the same
Speaker 12: as vaccine passports, which is.
Speaker 2: Illegal segregation, illegal segregation.
Speaker 12: We are going back to a state in which there
Speaker 12: are two groups of people, you have the vaccinated and
Speaker 12: the unvaccinated.
Speaker 4: You feel like what's going on right now is back
Speaker 4: to sixties America creating that.
Speaker 12: A lot of my friends they concentrate on Nazi Germany.
Speaker 12: That's a whole other planet, that's a whole other country.
Speaker 2: That's a crazy comparison. Asking people to get a COVID
Speaker 2: vaccine holocaust comparison a little much, Jim Crow feels about right.
Speaker 12: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I mean when someone asks you what they can get
Speaker 2: you for Christmas, just tell them to get vaccinated.
