WEBVTT 00:00.500 --> 00:07.300 Let's talk about some positive news that news is happening and this news is that actually coming from it's coming from the 00:07.820 --> 00:14.000 Judicial branch the people suing and winning finally. We have the finality of a lawsuit 00:14.000 --> 00:15.560 We've been reporting on for years 00:15.560 --> 00:22.900 This was the biggest social media censorship campaign in American history the dark days of COVID where the US government 00:23.460 --> 00:31.420 Compelled big tech social media companies who gleefully censored Americans about anything from their vaccine injury stories to 00:31.420 --> 00:39.120 Masking to our show and this is the headline US settles social media censorship case bars agencies from threatening penalties 00:39.120 --> 00:44.920 sparse three agencies CISA CDC in the search in general from pressuring social media companies 00:45.460 --> 00:49.400 interestingly for ten years so I don't know happens after ten years they can go back to not 00:49.980 --> 00:52.060 Not valuing free speech 00:52.060 --> 00:57.280 But what's interesting about this case is some of the words that are in the actual ruling 00:57.280 --> 01:00.380 So when I want to read those here to people it says number 20 01:00.380 --> 01:07.780 The parties agree that modern technology does not alter the government's obligation to abide by the strictures of the first 01:07.780 --> 01:10.940 Amendment and 21 the party has stick. Yeah 01:11.720 --> 01:18.000 This is we've been waiting for this for a while the number 21 the parties also agree that government politicians media 01:18.000 --> 01:25.280 Academics or anyone else applying labels such as misinformation disinformation or malinformation to speech does not render it 01:25.280 --> 01:29.560 Constitutionally unprotected how much did we hear that fight against it? 01:30.020 --> 01:37.720 And so this is a big win really for for the public knowledge the public opinion because what happened in this case 01:37.720 --> 01:43.720 Thousands upon thousands of internal emails were released senator Ron Johnson in parallel was releasing 01:43.720 --> 01:49.680 Internal documents while showing the ugly underbelly of what has grown into the American censorship 01:50.320 --> 01:56.140 architecture during COVID and how pervasive it was from the CDC the Surgeon General to 01:56.140 --> 02:03.520 Facebook to Zuckerberg to meta all of it. They all complied without without a second thought about the First Amendment 02:03.520 --> 02:11.420 So we see it as Americans the court ruled in favor of Americans on this in favor of the First Amendment and that is really 02:11.420 --> 02:13.780 We're looking back now 02:13.780 --> 02:18.880 We're reducing down to the core values of this country and they're coming to the forefront right now 02:18.880 --> 02:25.080 So we have free speech, but we also have religious rights, and this is another one here. This is the American College 02:25.080 --> 02:30.480 I'm sorry American Journal of Physicians and Surgeons, and they have just put out this spring issue 02:30.480 --> 02:35.400 it says the right to religious exemption to vaccination upheld in court and this is a 02:35.400 --> 02:44.100 Production by their lead counsel Andrew Shaffley, and he talks about this victory against a hospital's denial of religious exemptions of vaccination 02:44.100 --> 02:47.120 And he writes this this is Palms versus Texas Children's Hospital 02:47.120 --> 02:54.360 He writes the religious exemption to vaccination has emerged as the strongest legal response to ever-increasing vaccine mandates at hospitals schools 02:54.360 --> 03:02.080 military service and even ordinary employment in many ways these vaccine mandates have worsened multiple states are taking a hard line against 03:02.080 --> 03:09.020 Religious exemptions from vaccination in four states, California, New York, Connecticut and Maine prohibit any religious exemption from vaccines 03:09.020 --> 03:16.860 Hospitals which have already which had already become islands of tyranny are imposing mandates for what used to be voluntary vaccines such as influenza 03:16.860 --> 03:18.800 seasonal influenza and so 03:18.800 --> 03:27.520 What that's doing right now is he is showing that this religious exemption is like the sword that is protecting people when it comes to these 03:27.520 --> 03:29.200 medical rights and informed consent 03:29.200 --> 03:36.240 Against hospitals against states doing this against airlines like United Airlines. We just had another win here 03:36.240 --> 03:44.500 This is Rex healthcare. They have to pay a hundred and fifty thousand dollars in what was called the US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission 03:44.500 --> 03:47.360 COVID-19 vaccine religious accommodation suit 03:47.360 --> 03:50.200 These are people that were forced to get the COVID vaccine 03:50.200 --> 03:57.500 They did not have a religious exemption honored and now they're paying the people that are denying that have paid now in that 03:57.500 --> 04:03.060 In that legal brief there in 2021 they mentioned Connecticut in 2021 Connecticut repealed the right 04:03.060 --> 04:08.280 For parents to have a religious exemption to op their children out of childhood vaccines to get into school 04:08.280 --> 04:12.180 Well, that was immediately sued. They were they sued that 04:12.620 --> 04:19.460 The state on this and went to court in 2022 here is the headline new lawsuit filed over repeal of religious exemption 04:19.460 --> 04:21.780 And it's been going for several years 04:21.780 --> 04:27.660 What just happened was something that the lawsuit is is gaining ground. It's doing really well 04:27.660 --> 04:31.840 They've the state had tried to get it thrown out though that failed 04:31.840 --> 04:33.780 But what's happening now is this headline? 04:34.100 --> 04:41.200 Connecticut lawmakers try to tip the scales impending vaccine lawsuit. So there is legislation now SB 450 04:41.200 --> 04:46.320 Which is giving the Connecticut commissioner of public health one person? 04:46.980 --> 04:48.680 rule over these 04:48.680 --> 04:55.960 Religious exemptions and in this bill it says that they shall not be construed as a violation of 04:55.960 --> 05:03.460 Connecticut's religious freedom restoration Act and it also says that it voids out any civil action pending currently 05:03.460 --> 05:08.580 So if this passes that will basically end this lawsuit 05:08.580 --> 05:13.080 Which is unheard of and we have the speaker of the house Matt Ritter 05:13.080 --> 05:16.740 He was caught by a local journalist and asked about this. Listen. We had to say 05:17.340 --> 05:22.680 On the vaccination bill in particular Senate bill 450 includes a provision which would 05:23.220 --> 05:25.620 amend the religious freedom Act 05:25.620 --> 05:33.880 the religious freedom law in the state that was passed in 1993 to create an exception for school immunizations and 05:33.880 --> 05:37.980 That exception would take effect immediate upon passage and apply to all civil 05:38.700 --> 05:44.240 Litigation pending or filed on that date including the one live lawsuit 05:44.240 --> 05:52.200 That is seeking to reinstate the religious exemption to school vaccinations under that particular law 05:52.200 --> 05:58.460 Will the bill that comes out of this legislature include that provision? Yes 05:59.720 --> 06:05.920 There's no religion and vaccines do not go hand in hand. We made that decision in 2021 06:05.920 --> 06:12.540 I actually don't think the permit me you take the advice from your attorney general's office. They came to us with this 06:13.100 --> 06:19.500 This is clarifying exactly what we said in 2021 religion and vaccines are not part of it. There's no religious right 06:19.500 --> 06:22.300 There's no constitutional right to say that my religion 06:23.040 --> 06:25.940 Allows me to not get a vaccine and send my kids to kindergarten 06:25.940 --> 06:29.140 There's no no supreme court case has ever said that us or state 06:29.140 --> 06:34.700 What would you say to the to the the the lawyers and the families involved in the suit and their supporters said? 06:34.740 --> 06:37.400 Well, the state of Connecticut couldn't beat us in court 06:37.400 --> 06:42.260 So the instead of litigating it they're going to legislate they're going to beat us in the legislature 06:42.260 --> 06:45.100 They're going to legislate it the same thing we said in 2021 06:45.720 --> 06:50.380 Your right to not vaccinate your children based solely upon a religious argument 06:51.100 --> 06:52.760 Is not the law the state of Connecticut 06:54.420 --> 06:56.600 Well, there you see the important work that 06:56.600 --> 07:00.180 We do hear that Aaron siri does here and you know 07:00.180 --> 07:05.400 I just want to put out this argument especially in the climate we now live in and all of the victories that we've had 07:05.400 --> 07:12.300 With the informed consent action network since there is no science behind vaccines since you've never done any placebo based trials 07:12.740 --> 07:17.840 What you are doing is forcing your religion and your you know crazy 07:18.760 --> 07:20.680 Initiation rituals of injecting 07:20.680 --> 07:24.860 Femeldehyde and polysorbate 80 and aluminum and mercury and 07:24.860 --> 07:28.000 Aborted fetal DNA and monkey kidney cells 07:28.000 --> 07:33.880 You can go ahead and do that in whatever strange religion you want, but your religion does not trump my religion 07:33.880 --> 07:39.740 I'm I've asked Aaron if we could win an argument that way. He says I don't think so del but that's how I see it 07:39.740 --> 07:42.820 At least from a lay journalist perspective 07:43.360 --> 07:47.500 You would need some science. I suppose if this was an argument about science versus religion 07:48.400 --> 07:53.580 Aaron siri's book vaccines amen shows exactly what we're dealing with its religion versus religion 07:53.580 --> 07:59.700 And i'll stick with the one that believes that my body was designed in the image and likeness of god. Thank you 08:00.500 --> 08:06.640 Absolutely, and there's only there's there's now over a thousand vaccine related bills since january that have been filed in states 08:06.640 --> 08:13.860 So if you feel strongly if you're watching that video that you just saw and you're you feel strongly in these states with these vaccine bills 08:13.860 --> 08:15.880 It's time right now to stand up 08:15.880 --> 08:20.200 The federal government isn't coming to help at this point if they do great 08:20.200 --> 08:24.280 But if you feel strongly about a direction either way, it's time to activate 08:24.280 --> 08:27.980 This is the moment this is the moment and so let's go back and find 08:27.980 --> 08:32.340 Just finalize this whole thing with one of the biggest supreme court cases 08:32.340 --> 08:36.520 I'm sorry one of the biggest court cases state court cases that just happened 08:36.520 --> 08:41.320 It's being called the big tobacco moment for social media tech giants 08:41.320 --> 08:49.100 Here's cnn. Now. These are back-to-back court losses by meta jury finds meta liable in case over child sexual 08:49.100 --> 08:50.920 Exploitation on its platform 08:51.420 --> 08:56.780 The jury found that meta violated what's called the state's unfair practices act 08:56.780 --> 09:01.780 And they knowingly endangered children because they had child sexual predators on there 09:01.780 --> 09:07.320 And they had really no way to monitor this and they were they were basically targeting children on their platforms 09:07.320 --> 09:11.060 And here they have to pay at three hundred seventy five million dollars 09:11.060 --> 09:14.760 This is just one case and another case came down just a day ago 09:14.760 --> 09:19.840 Jury in Los Angeles finds meta youtube negligent and social media addiction trials 09:19.840 --> 09:24.780 So meta and youtube's negligence played a factor in causing mental health related harms 09:24.780 --> 09:29.020 These are just two cases in hundreds that are about to move forward now 09:29.020 --> 09:31.180 The the floodgates are about to burst 09:31.180 --> 09:37.160 This is kind of like the glyphosate moment where bear were just inundated with tens and thousands of cases 09:37.160 --> 09:39.580 So I don't know how this is going to end 09:39.580 --> 09:44.560 But this is the this is the start of something really massive for social media tech giants 09:44.760 --> 09:52.340 And really a whole new chapter for for the legal and the lawyers and the legal conversation in america around big tech 09:52.340 --> 09:56.400 There's so many angles that are that are flying off these cases in so many ways 09:56.400 --> 09:59.940 And we talk about the ai rapidly building out as well 09:59.940 --> 10:04.820 We have that factor in there because these companies are massively involved in that ai build out 10:05.540 --> 10:12.300 Um really amazing and and you know look there's some really great things happening. There are legal wins 10:12.300 --> 10:13.160 It's amazing 10:13.920 --> 10:16.300 That think about it that that art 10:16.300 --> 10:19.120 You know the the case that wins against the biden administration 10:19.860 --> 10:24.720 Using these social media companies to censor us which happened directly to us now 10:25.220 --> 10:31.240 Next time they have a pandemic pandemic scamdemic whatever you decide you want to call it 10:31.240 --> 10:37.020 They're going to have to take an account that they're not going to get to censor the people that call out the baloney 10:37.020 --> 10:43.160 Like we did the entire time. I said by the way, I love to stand by everything we did throughout covet 10:43.160 --> 10:47.600 And frankly everything we've done in the last 10 years that we've been here jeffrey 10:48.080 --> 10:51.520 I think we have the most immaculate track record in news in media 10:51.520 --> 10:57.040 We have one of the best teams working with you working with me here international scientists and of course 10:58.180 --> 11:03.580 Arguably the greatest attorney in the world that fights on our behalf and digs down deep into where the government is lying to us
