A lot of people watching probably have family, friends, colleagues, and a we do overseas that want to get to America for the holidays. Well, President Biden just released a presidential proclamation. It's a directive on public policy. And that directed the TSA to make this security directive. This is it right here. And what are the actions in this? Now, this started yesterday and it goes through January 8th, 2023. So that's the holidays.

That's Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year. This is what it says. The aircraft operator, that's an airline, any airline flying into the United States, must require that each covered individual prior to boarding a flight to the United States and consistent with the CDC order and technical instructions has one presented paper or digital documentation of proof of being fully vaccinated against COVID-19. So it also says this, you know, for one of the reasons, why are they doing this? You know, we've shown that the vaccine doesn't stop transmission. It's been admitted. by our CDC, our FDA by Wielensky. In fact, it's even been admitted by people in Pfizer in the European Union. This doesn't stop transmission. So this is what that security director from the TSA says. They're doing it. Given the resumption of air travel,

as worldwide restrictions due to the COVID pandemic, began to ease, these policies will advance and say the safety and security of the air traveling public began to ease. They've been beginning to ease a year ago. It's almost like someone cut and pasted this paragraph and just threw it in there. as an excuse to allow. And this vaccine has nothing to do with making it ease or any better.

I mean, it's absolutely had no ability to stop transmission, so it's not protecting anybody. And as we've reported, the hospitalizations seem to be just as high, if not higher, with the negative efficacy. So the entire thing is such a fraud. It makes you want to gag. But, you know, this is who was elected president of the United States. You can't say that we didn't warn people that this was the world you're going to live

in a world without reason under these circumstances. And some abilities for travelers really slipped through the gaps here with this bureaucratic paper pushing. So last year in November, they were allowing all the way up to June, and this was the headline, testing requirements to get on the plane. So you could test, you could have a negative test to get on the plane if you did it right before a flight coming into America, or you could show that you recovered within 90 days, natural immunity. And in June 2022, the U.S. dropped that COVID testing requirement for, for international travelers because, you know, it was admitted as endemic.

There was not quite as much of an emergency as there was at the beginning when they shut this down. So this was the actual document here when they rescinded this requirement for negative pre-departure COVID-19 test result or documentation of recovery for COVID-19 for all airline or other aircraft passengers arriving to the United States from any foreign country. So what does it mean now? So now we have, you have to be fully vaccinated to come into the country. what does that mean? We go to the CDC's own website to try to understand this because this thing's been like whackamol. Is it one dose? Is it two doses? Is it five doses? And it says here, when are you up to date? You are up to date with your COVID-19 vaccines. If you have completed a COVID-19 vaccine primary

series, that's two, and receive the most recent, the most recent booster dose recommended for you by CDC. Well, the most recent one, you go on the website. There's this like drop-down menu. You have to look at your age. Are you immunocompromise? You know, and remember just a couple weeks ago, Biden came out and said, just one more shot. We have the new booster for Omicron, one more shot per year. So, I mean, we're talking up to five for some people, I believe it is here. So now, there is an exception. It's called an accepted, covered individual. And this is what this looks like. So you have to dig into this a little bit. So if you want to travel now to United States from a foreign country, here's the exceptions. And you know what it's highlighted there. If you're under 18 years or older, you can give. get a disclosure and attestation document. And you can have the parents sign that. And that basically brings back the testing requirements. So all they have to do is get tested.

Once they arrive in the United States, the child three to five days after arriving or have documentation they recover in the past 90 days. And then they have to attest that if they do test positive, that they'll quarantine. But that is, you know, I'm not going to say a loophole, but that's one thing. You know, if the parents are vaccinated, but they didn't want to get their kids vaccinated, They can travel with their kids here. But let's look at what the word is. Well, hold on.

You know, one of the things, Jeffrey, that I mean, as I sit here and not to sort of start a firestorm in a totally different topic, but as we sit here, the irony that we are blocking people coming in from other countries, first world countries that have enough money are affluent enough to buy plane tickets, you still can't come into this country to visit your family members for the holidays unless you are. fully vaccinated. Meanwhile, the same administration that keeps pushing this upon us is leaving open the southern border so that anybody. So apparently, if you fly from the UK or Australia or, you know, wherever New Zealand into Mexico, then you can walk across or swim across the board. We have no problem with that. Thousands and thousands and thousands of people pouring in and doing nothing about that but blocking those people that have always been able to travel legally. And, you know, so, I mean, it just, the hypocrisy of all of it is just stunning and nonsensical. At its base, it's obviously counterintuitive.

It's scientifically ignorant. But what it also does on the world stage, it sends a signal to people in the U.S. and throughout the world. Let's go to kayak.com. This is a travel aggregator for tickets. And they have a map here. And so if you're not fully vaccinated, here are the international travel restrictions by country. And all you need to do is look at this. And you see these two big red beacons.

And it's not red because it's freedom. It's red because those are the restrictive countries. And that's America and China. Those are the two leading countries now with restrictive travel arrangements. So you cannot come into the country unless you're fully vaccinated. And that's who we're aligning with by policy. So that's a really important issue. I really think people need to understand when they're looking at this.

And when they're really reading these documents and saying, why is this going on? So again, November 8th is, when this thing either gets rescinded or renewed. We'll be there to report on that.
