=== Vaccination Mandates and Police State (04:54) ===

[00:00:00]  I just want you to know that.
[00:00:01]  I took it really because I want people to hear what is being done in the United States for the first time in its history, taking people like you and putting you in such a position.
[00:00:15]  It's an act of evil.
[00:00:17]  It is the beginning of a police state.
[00:00:19]  I swear to God that that is the case.
[00:00:22]  There is no doubt in my mind the left would create a police state if they could, and they're on their way to doing so.
[00:00:28]  To deny it is to actively engage in willful ignoring of something bad because it's too painful to acknowledge and it means you'd have to fight it.
[00:00:41]  Okay, having said that, so your employer will do this or New York State will force them?
[00:00:52]  What is the story in New York?
[00:00:57]  A couple days ago, Mayor de Blasio, he had a press conference, unrelated, but of course the topic came up.
[00:01:05]  I don't know how close you've been following, but the teachers lost the battle in New York City about a week ago, and they were all mandated to get the vaccine.
[00:01:13]  That being said, going into it, I think the number was at 83 before they even hit the mandate.
[00:01:20]  As far as my job...
[00:01:22]  I'm sorry, what number?
[00:01:25]  So, the New York City teachers, they were at an 83% vaccination rate before the mandate.
[00:01:32]  Right.
[00:01:33]  Yeah, before the mandate.
[00:01:34]  Now, on the NYPD, I think we're roughly around 55% to 60%.
[00:01:43]  That was the last number I heard a few days ago.
[00:01:45]  If that's true, you think that de Blasio would okay getting rid of 40% of the officers?
[00:01:56]  See, that's not an option.
[00:01:57]  But then on the other side of the coin, what percentage of that number is going to be coerced into getting it?
[00:02:02]  Well, if they all stood firm, it's hard to imagine that New Yorkers would say, we could lose 40% of our police.
[00:02:09]  No problem.
[00:02:13]  I don't know.
[00:02:14]  I mean, interesting as such a nun.
[00:02:19]  Yeah, I don't know, Dennis.
[00:02:20]  I can tell you we're sick over it.
[00:02:21]  And it's not just the vaccinated cops.
[00:02:23]  I'm sick on your behalf.
[00:02:27]  Yeah, the vaccinated cops are sick about it, too.
[00:02:29]  That's right.
[00:02:30]  I mean, this isn't the end.
[00:02:32]  It's not, you know, as if they're going to give us the vaccine and it's going to be over.
[00:02:36]  No, it's just the beginning.
[00:02:38]  That is correct.
[00:02:39]  It's just the beginning.
[00:02:40]  That's right.
[00:02:41]  Listen, I salute you.
[00:02:44]  You said something which I didn't interrupt, but it was so important.
[00:02:48]  It's now transcending a health issue into a moral issue.
[00:02:53]  That's how I feel.
[00:02:54]  The more they coerce the scum, and they are scum, they are America-hating, liberty-hating, humanity-hating people.
[00:03:05]  And you must understand that.
[00:03:09]  And the more they do that, the more I don't want to take the vaccine.
[00:03:15]  They are having the opposite effect on some of us.
[00:03:20]  Joe Biden is a lowlife.
[00:03:22]  He is a thug.
[00:03:24]  He's a crook.
[00:03:26]  He's a weakling.
[00:03:28]  And when weaklings have power, it's a very, very bad thing.
[00:03:33]  This is the man who said it.
[00:03:36]  We had SARS virus in the Obama administration, and he announced he would not enter an airplane.
[00:03:44]  This guy is as close to a coward as we have had in the presidency in our history.
[00:03:50]  Not close.
[00:03:51]  He is.
[00:03:51]  He's a coward with power.
[00:03:54]  Very dangerous group.
[00:03:58]  There is a scientific basis for the idea, you're vaccinated, why the hell do you care if I am?
[00:04:05]  This is astonishing.
[00:04:07]  The only answer they have, the only is, well, you'll fill hospitals.
[00:04:12]  Did they have that answer during AIDS with regard to bathhouses and gay men and intravenous drug users?
[00:04:20]  Of course not.
[00:04:21]  If you even mention it, you were called a homophobe.
[00:04:25]  Do they have it with regard to anything else?
[00:04:30]  The motorcyclists without helmets?
[00:04:34]  The obese who disproportionately have comorbidities?

=== Left and Right Have Nothing in Common (01:47) ===

[00:04:43]  And who's to say they won't go after them?
[00:04:45]  Bloomberg, remember?
[00:04:46]  He wanted to, what was it, charge a tax for a large soda in New York City?
[00:04:53]  Or something to that effect.
[00:04:54]  Or ban the amount that they would sell to you?
[00:05:02]  It is a moral issue.
[00:05:05]  I can't tell anybody, though, don't have an income for your family.
[00:05:09]  It's not my place to do it.
[00:05:12]  I have an income.
[00:05:14]  There's a civil war in this country, and it may end up violent.
[00:05:23]  That's the first time I've ever said that.
[00:05:25]  I've said for 20 years this is civil war.
[00:05:28]  Left and right have nothing in common.
[00:05:30]  In fact, most on the left and most on the right would like to secede from each other.
[00:05:34]  I am among them.
[00:05:36]  I have nothing in common with leftists.
[00:05:38]  They are evil.
[00:05:41]  Liberals are weak, so they should go to the left-wing states.
[00:05:44]  It'd be interesting to see where most liberals would want to live.
[00:05:46]  It'd be very interesting if they would choose New York State or Florida.
[00:05:53]  Very, very interesting.
[00:05:54]  I hope they choose New York State because the more New Yorkers will go to Florida, the more it's ruined.
[00:06:00]  Like the more Californians who go to Arizona ruin that state.
[00:06:06]  It's amazing when people flee left-wing policies and then vote for them in the state they fled to.
[00:06:13]  You've got to admit that's precious.
[00:06:16]  That's the perfect word.
[00:06:18]  That's precious.
[00:06:22]  It's getting dark.
[00:06:25]  And this is only the beginning.
