0:17.5 | Forty San Francisco police officers not vaccinated against COVID-19 placed on leave. |
0:23.0 | I mean, at a time and look what it's, you know, we've talked about this and now crime running rampant in cities all across America, governor screaming for help, mayors shouting for help, states of emergency, people robbing stores and broad daylight, all because, and we're laying off, you know, officers law enforcement because they won't get vaccinated. |
0:44.0 | Or if LA gets over California gets away with the law there, they want to be able to take and defund you. If you don't enforce the COVID policies on other people, kick in their doors or rest them, force them to be vaccinated. |
0:56.0 | Well, in the center of this was one such law enforcement officer Joel Alworth, who is joining me now. |
