We have a lot of good news. This is a third week in a row. We're building on this good news. So as we have been moving away from this failed COVID response, there's more and more hopeful stories. And this is one that happened just a little while back. This is San Francisco transit workers, the BART system. They're fired due to their COVID vaccine mandate.

They get over $1 million each. A federal jury decides. Think about that, standing by your principles and you're getting rewarded big time for that. for not taking that vaccine. And here's another one Michigan jury awards millions to women fired after refusing to get vaccine. But probably one of the coolest stories is Shelly Luther. And she's from Dallas just down the road from you about three hours. And she was a salon owner. And she was jailed during COVID-19. Well, as the headline says right here, she has just won the Texas House

District number 62. It says Shelly Luther, the former Dallas salon owner who was jailed after reopening her salon during the COVID-19 pandemic, is headed to the Texas State House. Luther made national headlines when she reopened her far north Dallas salon in defiance of countrywide restrictions. I mean, these are the people you want in power. These are the people you want to give power to. People that have courage and have strength in the face of government mandates that were not backed by science. And so this is all in the face, all of the people, all of our listeners, everyone that watched us, that stood up for what they believed in. That was in the face of what we now know, according to this HHS public health campaign assessment,

it was a $1 billion campaign. You can read this whole report right here, but it was a $1 billion public relations campaign to get you to take that shot, to get you to stay locked down. And this is what people were facing. And now we know also the CDC had planned quarantine camps nationwide. That's how bad it was going to get. Never again, obviously, should this happen. But people were facing down this fear, and they still made those charts.

choices and they're being rewarded. And even in Alberta, they're thinking about changing their bill of rights in Alberta to do what? Proposed changes to Alberta bill of rights would prohibit vaccinations without consent. There's that word again, consent, informed consent. We really need that. So this is reaching all the way up into the legislature with bills and amendments to bills of rights. This is big, big news. And medical informed consent and health choice is mainlined right now. And it's a really cool time to be a reporter and to be alive. So amazing, Jeffrey. I mean, what a difference a year makes, really, if you think about it.

Just exciting. And by the way, we used to be all alone out here talking about these things. Now you've got so many, you know, almost everybody in the podcast world is over. You know, you've got Tim Poole and Joe Rogan and Tucker Carlson, you know, everywhere you go. like my feed on X, like everyone's on it now. Like there is just this huge awakening. And what's really sinking in this week after last week is, oh my God. I mean, we're the majority.

The majority did speak. So many people said to me, I'm just so happy to find out that I'm not outnumbered by the craziness. That, you know, the sane people, the people that just are being logical and reasonable now seem to, you know, be in control of this country. So just great times, but lots of work to be done for sure. And, you know, we got to keep our, you know, our focus on it. And you're right. You know, we're not going to stop putting pressure on the government just because we think there's some people in there that we know. I mean, it's very important that we stay critical.

That is the job of media. It shouldn't give that up. I've been screaming and yelling that media has just been a propaganda arm for the current administration. Well, we're not going to flip around and be the same thing. thing. We've got to remain critical and make sure we get it all done right.
