in 2018 President Donald Trump,
now luckily former President Trump, nominated Herschel Walker and
Dr Oz to be members of the President's Council on Sports Fitness and Nutrition.
Something that I didn't even know existed until today.
But yesterday Walker and
Oz actually received letters in the mail from President Joe Biden,
asking them to resign from their posts immediately, or they will be terminated.
And guess what?
Doctor Oz is very, very salty about it, but before we get to him and his reaction,
let's talk about the letter and why it's happening.
So the letter said, on behalf of President Biden, I'm writing to request your
resignation as a member of the President's Council on Sports Fitness and Nutrition.
Please submit your resignation to me by the close of business today.
Should we not receive your resignation,
your position with the council will be terminated effective 6 PM, tonight.
Now, beyond the difference that they might have, or differences they may
have in their ideologies, Biden's administration is doing this,
because the law forces them to do this, okay?
So Walker and Oz are running for us Senate as Republican candidates in Georgia and
Pennsylvania respectively.
Government employees such as those serving on presidential boards, quote may
not be candidates in partisan elections, end quote, per the Hatch act, okay?
So this isn't some politically motivated thing, but before looking into
why it's happening, Dr Oz couldn't help but whine about it in this video.
>> I just received the letter on your screen,
it's on behalf of President Biden from the White House, requesting that I resign from
the President's Council on Sports Fitness and Nutrition.
It's beyond sad,
that Joe Biden would politicize such an important issue like health.
In fact, let me offer a suggestion, the doctor he should asked to resign is
Dr Anthony Fauci for a multitude of obvious reasons.
But that said, I am beyond grateful to President Trump for
appointing me to this very prestigious and important position.
I'm also grateful to my colleagues on the committee, the council and
the amazing accomplishments were able to achieve.
I've got no intention my friends of resigning, none.
If President Biden wants to politicize health, he'll have to fire me.
Let Americans see how truly petty and political he truly is.
I would think record high energy prices, a 40 year high with inflation, and
the tragedy with Ukraine, will be a more important priority.
>> It's is amazing that he's mentioning politicizing health,
when that's exactly what he's doing.
Like yeah, that's right, Republican, voters,
they don't like Anthony Fauci, Anthony Fauci should be fired.
Like let me engage in this like posturing to maybe gain a few
points in this election, where I'm failing miserably.
But yeah, it has nothing to do with his, but what is this thing,
what is this position?
Is this something they were getting paid for,
is this something where they were actually doing something valuable?
Like what is the President's Council on Sports Fitness and Nutrition?
This is something that Trump did, the guy was like spending most of his
time sitting in front of the TV watching Fox News, while eating a big Mac.
What? I don't understand what this was,
I don't know, maybe I'm wrong Wosny, do you know anything about it?
>> This is the first I'm hearing of it for sure, and
my job is in sports allegedly, [LAUGH] I've never heard of this.
If these guys were getting paid, and
sleepy Joe didn't immediately get rid of these guys.
>> [LAUGH].
>> In January of last year when he was inaugurated,
that's what I'm really pissed off about.
That it took this long to get these fools off the payroll.
That what I'm really like, no way these guys were actually getting paid hilarious,
that the administration is just following the rule of law.
Something that people just weren't used to for four years, and so
that it took this guy by surprise.
But I'm not surprised that the Dr Oz is a political hack,
that doesn't surprise me at all.
>> No, it gets worse.
So he's not doing well in the primary in Pennsylvania, but it doesn't matter.
So he has or had dual citizenship here in the United States and
also in Turkey, he claimed that he still had citizenship in Turkey,
because he needed to go back home and take care of his ailing mom.
But he has been willing to renounce his Turkish citizenship for
his political aspirations in Pennsylvania.
So real classy guy, yeah, very very classic.
I love it.
>> I know wasn't too happy about that traitor, what a traitor, who does that?
Renounces the homeland?
Urgh.
>> It's so good, it's so good.
>> Boot licking these Yankees?
>> It's it is amazing, our political system definitely attracts the most
egotistical, narcissistic, self interested people, who I have no
interest in representing anyone, including their own parents I guess.
[LAUGH] You know, it's pretty amazing.
Herschel Walker, also got a little hurt about it.
By the way, they are considered special government employees, so
I think there is pay involved.
I'm not entirely sure, but government employee means you're an employee,
you should be compensated.
>> I think Producer Ash telling us no pay.
>> No play.
>> No pay, that's what I'm getting in the air right now, no pay.
>> Okay, so it was just like a cute little.
>> Free like those homies at UCLA, and.
>> My guess is they did no work, [LAUGH] it was probably just about access.
Herschel Walker was also upset, although Herschel Walker is a little different,
in that he's doing much better in his primary in Georgia.
President Biden is so scared about us beating Raphael Warnock,
that he asked me to resign from my unpaid position.
Okay, on the President's Council on Sports Fitness and Nutrition, I'm not a quitter,
so you are going to have to fire me.
Okay, well, you're getting fired it's not about political reasons,
they don't want to violate the law,
because keeping you on board would be a violation of the Hatch Act.
You guys haven't done anything in this official position,
like it's not important just, anyway.
So there you have it, very, very upset.
