My name is David J. Harris Jr. Join me and millions of Americans around the country as we embrace liberty and freedom.

0:11.0

This is the David J. Harris Jr. Show.

0:18.0

Friends, my guest today really does not need an introduction, although I will.

0:23.0

He came on the scene for me. I saw him when he was standing up for bodily autonomy. He was standing up for freedom in the face of these absolutely tyrannical mandates that are being pushed on pretty much everybody.

0:36.0

Jonathan Isaac plays for the Orlando magic. He actually had the opportunity. We may get into this to go right out of high school and trial for the NBA, but he decided not to do that and went to the floor Florida state seminals instead.

0:49.0

But he is a rock star. He is an all American athlete. He's somebody that the league absolutely appreciates and we appreciate his voice and his stance.

0:59.0

My guest Jonathan Isaac, my brother. Thank you so much for being on with me today. How are you doing in the midst of the chaos?

1:07.0

David, I'm doing great. And thank you so much for having me. I'm excited to talk to you and just continue to push this thing forward.

1:15.0

Well, I'm excited. I've been excited since I reached out to you on Instagram. I saw the video. I'll share it in a minute. I saw this video of you absolutely standing up for freedom, standing up for people's choice.

1:26.0

And you've been taken heat from that. You from the league. There's so much chaos in the in the NBA right now. And it seemed like all the chaos of last year and all the BLM stuff. And there was just so many people that were turned off from just watching it because it wasn't about sports anymore.

1:41.0

It was politics right in front and center in your face. And now we're trying to get out of the pandemic. We're still in it because of all these mandates.

1:48.0

And now they're pushing the mandates on you professional basketball players. So for you to come out. Did you did you know that it was going to send shockwaves around social media around the world literally when you came out standing up for freedom?

2:02.0

You know, I didn't and I'm honestly glad that I didn't know because I probably would have been a lot more nervous. You know, in my mind, I was just like to me, this seems like the most rational position.

2:14.0

That at the end of the day, you're talking about putting something into people's bodies. And it only makes sense that it should be their choice to then, you know, cosine to say, this is something that I wanted to do or this is something that I don't want to do.

2:25.0

And that's before you even get into the conversation of the virus in the vaccine and what those things look like in means statistically and around the world and age groups.

2:33.0

And to me that adds so much great area to where it should even more so be a conversation between an individual and their medical provider on whether they should take it or not.

2:42.0

But that's just where I was coming from. I was like, you know, this makes sense. I believe that religious freedom is real.

2:48.0

You're freedom as an America is real to your bodily autonomy and those things should be respected by everybody. And so I kind of just went in there with kind of I had an idea of what it is that I wanted to say and I wanted to dispel a lot of the, you know, the wrong.

3:02.0

I wanted to say messages that came out in that Rolling Stone article about the things that I had said in it. And so I wanted to dispel that I wanted to share that. And so I kind of just went in just like that, but to see it blew up. I was like, man, there are a lot of people who who agree with me who feel the way that I feel and then even more so, you know, people who are reaching out to me every single day that are losing jobs that feel that they don't have a voice. And I've taken I've taken it up to be a voice for the voiceless.

3:30.0

And so I was like, well, I'm not going to say exactly what you did. And yeah, I'm glad you didn't know the kind of shock waves that you sent because you know you you were so articulate. You're very intelligent.

3:41.0

You added and talked about the data, the data and the cases and the individuals and who's really at risk and how much of a risk are people really at. And let me ask you this, why do you feel why do you personally believe that we're not hearing about those statistics that you shared.

3:57.0

And so then we are from all mainstream media outlets.
