We've watched Fauci squirm over and over attempting to rewrite history to hide his failures and the skirt responsibility, but this is now catching up to other leaders. Let's look at now former Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot.

0:13.0

She's in the spotlight here.

0:15.0

And let's bring back a video now. This is her lovingly and in an understanding way attempting to explain the coming lockdowns to citizens and what they're in store for.

0:25.0

Remember those lockdowns that really decrease the living standards for everyone that wasn't a billionaire. Take a look.

0:31.0

This is how it's going to be. We will shut you down. We will cite you. And if we need to, we will arrest you and we will take you to jail. Period.

0:43.0

There should be nothing unambiguous about that. Don't make us treat you like a criminal.

0:51.0

Amazing. And this is exactly what Fauci's saying. I'm not the one that's responsible. I just recommended everybody get locked down and be treated like criminals.

0:59.0

Exactly. Exactly. So it's hard to imagine why she couldn't win her reelection, but she did not. And this was this was that headline just recently out of Chicago Lori Lightfoot becomes the first Chicago mayor in 40 years to lose reelection.

1:13.0

She I wonder why that happened. So with that attitude she had she she soon after the lockdowns focused on the workers in Chicago, the unionized workers, police, fire.

1:25.0

And this was the headline at that time in October. I believe it was 2021. Lightfoot Defense COVID vaccine mandate for city workers says they owe it to themselves in the public in there. It says Lightfoot announced the vaccine mandate earlier this week saying all city workers must be fully vaccinated by October 15th.

1:41.0

The move angered union leaders listen to this who had been in the process process of negotiating the mandate with the city. Well, just so turns out a recent ruling by a judge has reversed that and these city workers who held their ground.

1:54.0

We see this story now repeating over and over these city workers that held their ground would not take mandated medicine have one favor in the courts judgment. So now the new headline reads this city of Chicago employees fired for refusing COVID vaccine mandate must be reinstated judge rules.

2:09.0

And if you look in this ruling and start reading it 74 pages, but at the bottom the really the reason the whole idea why they won this was on page 74.

2:19.0

You can see these highlighted words failing and refusing to bargain collectively. We see this appearing five times failing and refusing to bargain collectively.

2:27.0

So the unions were in good faith trying to really bargain with Mayor Lightfoot at the time and her office and she just went out and cut the whole thing short and said we're doing this.

2:39.0

I really don't care about bargaining or anything. So the judge look through and saw that happen and said this is this is not right. So we're seeing a lot of these this.

2:48.0

You know justice from the covid responses really playing out in American courts in a big way American courts are playing a huge role in really bringing reality back to the country here.

2:59.0

We saw this in Massachusetts as well. Massachusetts state workers rehired after covid vaccine mandate fireings. They're not being offered back pay.

3:06.0

So there's a different flavors for each one of these, but perhaps one of the biggest shining examples that we've seen was the New York City judge New York court orders all city employees fired for being unvaccinated to be reinstated and given back pay.

3:19.0

And in this court ruling, the judge did something really interesting. He went right to the heart of the science in his ruling. He put this in black and white. He says this being vaccinated does not prevent an individual from contracting or transmitting COVID 19 as of the day of this decision.

3:34.0

CDC guidelines regarding quarantine and isolation are the same for vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals. The petitioners, the city workers should not have been terminated for choosing not to protect themselves.

3:45.0

So Jeffrey, let me just take a moment to just congratulate all of those workers across America that stood your ground. The pressure was huge. You walked away from your job, which must have been incredibly difficult, stressful, trying to feed your families get through, but you held on to your principles.
