>> Julie: THANK YOU SO MUCH.
>> IT’S LIKE HE GETS IT
BACKWARDS.
THERE IS A FEDERAL RESPONSE TO
COVID, JUST NOT WHAT HE IS
DOING.
HE IS IMPOSING UNCONSTITUTIONAL
MANDATES.
OSHA MANDATES THAT WOULD
REQUIRE BUSINESSES TO FIRE
WORKERS WHO AREN’T VACCINATED.
THAT’S THE OPPOSITE OF WHAT HE
SHOULD BE DOING.
>> Trace: CONGRESSMAN CRENSHAW
SAYS BIDEN’S VAX MANDATE FOR
BUSINESS IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL
AND A LOT OF REPUBLICANS AGREE.
47 SENATORS AND 140 HOUSE
MEMBERS HAVE BANNED TOGETHER ON
THE ISSUE ASKING THE SUPREME
COURT TO BLOCK THAT MANDATE.
A 6-3 CONSERVATIVE MAJORITY
AMONG THE JUSTICES.
IT UPHELD MANY STATE AND LOCAL
VACCINE MANDATES BUT THAT MAY
NOT SAVE THE PRESIDENT.
GUY LOUIS IS A FORMER U.S.
ATTORNEY.
THANK YOU FOR COMING ON.
WE APPRECIATE IT.
THE BIG ARGUMENT HERE SEEMS TO
BE THIS MANDATES ARE NOT REALLY
WITHIN THE PURVIEW OF THE
OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH
ADMINISTRATION.
IS THAT A SOUND ARGUMENT IN
YOUR ASSESSMENT?
>> TRACE, I THINK YOU HAVE HIT
THE NAIL RIGHT ON THE HEAD.
LET’S GO BACK.
OSHA, THE ACT THEY ARE
TRAVELING UNDER, WAS
ESTABLISHED IN 1970 FRANKLY AS
A RESULT OF THERE BEING
ASBESTOS AND HAZARDOUS
MATERIALS IN THE WORKPLACE.
THE QUESTION BECOMES IS IT’S A
CONSTITUTIONAL STRUGGLE OF EPIC
PROPORTIONS.
HOW MUCH POWER DOES THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT AND IN THIS CASE JOE
BIDEN AND THE WHITE HOUSE HAVE
OVER YOUR DAILY LIFE?
CAN HE KICK YOU OUT OF THE
MILITARY AND GET HOSPITALS TO
FIRE YOU?
DOES HE HAVE ALL THIS POWER
OVER THE INDIVIDUAL AND THE
DECISION MAKING AS OPPOSED TO
THE STATE OR THE LOCAL
GOVERNMENT?
>> Trace: SOME WOULD SAY IS IT
ABOUT THE PRESIDENT’S POWER OR
A FIGHT ABOUT THE FLEXIBILITY
THAT FEDERAL AGENCIES HAVE
DURING TIMES OF EMERGENCIES
LIKE THE PANDEMIC?
>> GREAT QUESTION BUT THINK
ABOUT WHAT HAS NOT OCCURRED
HERE.
THIS IS A LAW HE IS ACTUALLY
FOLLOWING AS AN EXECUTIVE THAT
HE IS AFFECTING AS A RESULT OF
BEING PRESIDENT.
THIS IS BASICALLY HIS OWN
MANDATE OUT OF THE WHITE HOUSE.
WE HAVE NOT HAD HEARINGS, WE
HAVE NOT HAD VOTES.
THERE HAS BEEN NO LEGAL PROCESS.
SO I THINK IN TERMS OF THE
COURT, THE SUPREME COURT
SETTING THIS ON AN EMERGENCY
BASIS ORAL ARGUMENT JANUARY
7th, I THINK IT TELLS US A LOT
ABOUT HOW SERIOUSLY THE SUPREME
COURT TAKES THIS MANDATE.
>> Trace: YOU TALKED ABOUT
MILITARY EARLIER.
I WANT TO PUT IT ON THE SCREEN.
WE CONFIRMED 206 MARINES HAVE
BEEN FIRED.
MARINES HAVE BEEN FIRED FOR
REFUSING THE VACCINATION.
WHERE DO YOU THINK THIS GOES,
GUY?
>> WELL, YOU MAKE A GREAT POINT.
THE IRONY -- THE IRONY IS
ALMOST INCREDIBLE TO ME THAT
YOU ARE FIRING HOSPITAL
WORKERS, YOU ARE FIRED AND THEN
WE HAVE PEOPLE LINED UP HERE IN
MIAMI-DADE COUNTY LITERALLY
WAITING FIVE, SIX, SEVEN HOURS
JUST FOR A COVID TEST BECAUSE
THERE IS NOT ENOUGH EQUIPMENT,
THERE IS NOT ENOUGH PEOPLE?
I THINK THIS IS GOING TO THE
SUPREME COURT AND I FRANKLY
THINK THEY WILL STEP IN AND
DECIDE IT IS TOO MUCH POWER FOR
THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.
>> Trace: MAKE A GOOD POINT.
THESE PEOPLE COME BACK FROM
OVERSEAS MISSIONS AND WE THANK
THEM FOR THEIR SERVICE AND NOW
WE ARE FIRING THEM BECAUSE THEY
