we can tell you the shutdown of southwest airlines over the weekend was a direct consequence, it was on to, joe biden's vaccine mandates. it began last week when gary keller, ceo of southwest, sent an internal memo to his employees declaring that per joe biden's directives, any southwest employee who is not fully vaccinated by the eighth of december will be fired, canned, done, right before christmas. this would include not simply pilots at southwest and flight attendants of course, but ramp workers, mechanics, dispatchers, schedulers, ticket agents, people from the top to the very bottom. many thousands of people. some unknown but apparently large number of these people have still not been vaccinated. why is that? well, many of them have already recovered from covid, they have antibodies that offer them greater protection than any vaccine ever could, that's the science, so they don't want the vaccine. others have sincere religious objections. they object to the use of the fetal tissue in the pharmaceuticals so they don't want to, they believe it violates their faith. still others hav

i stand with southwest airlines, employees who are fighting against these mandates. this isn't about to vaccine. this is about freedom. why is the weather only disrupting southwest? now at this point, it seems the issue as close to being resolved, that people are looking at the current flight schedules and expecting that things will return to normal. but questions remain about what caused the panic and cancellation of thousands of flights. elsewhere, new york health workers have temporarily been allowed to avoid mandatory vaccination against covey. 19 for a federal judge is extended in order for them to apply for religious exemptions. the been a series of protests against compulsory occupations. i'll to contribute to nick a house next reporting from there. i was out of thurgood marshall court house, where cambridge, the blasio was being held. michael kane is fighting for another injunction for all the teachers of new york was specifically himself in 10 plaintiffs who were denied the continuation of the restraining order last week. and another court case, mike kane sa

your strategic advantage. >>> southwest airlines shares flat this morning after a drop yesterday of morethe airline has cancelled more than 2,000 flights since saturday joining us now is steven trent, citi group airline analyst it's gotten, like so many things, i watch certain networks and they're interviewing a lot of pilots saying we aren't getting the vaccine. but then i see the company itself, i see other people that are in the know saying it has very little to do with that and more to do with unexpected jump on columbus day travel, a quicker return, weather, we always here about air traffic control issues, are any of those real i say there's no weather, what is it? air traffic control issues okay we can't check. >> certainly and look, when something like that goes wrong, when an airline cancels one quarter of its flights it's usually not one thing going wrong, probably it's several things going wrong at the same time. so do you have any potential issues on the labor side because you don't have enough people or people call in sick. it's conceivable that's part of the issue. but how m

it was whether that somehow only affected southwest airlines."eo of southwest airlines go on television and tell that lie. his name is gary kelly, he is under an awful lot of pressure, so maybe he had to lie, but he definitely lied. he went on tv today and said oh, no, it had nothing to do with biden's vaccine mandates. watch. >> seen a lot of people invest in this idea that it somehow related to vaccine mandates. >> there is just no evidence of that. as i said and as captain murray said, our people are working very hard. they are doing a great job. i am very proud of them, and especially when we get into difficult situation like this, they are also delayed, they are also ending up in places that they didn't expect, so, no, our people are doing a phenomenal job. >> tucker: your people are doing a phenomenal job standing up for what they believe in the face of tyranny. but to say there is no evidence this week the result of a direct reaction to joe biden's vaccine mandate is a lie, and you know it's a lie if you know anything about the company you

it was a reaction to joe biden's vaccine mandates there were more cancellations at southwest airlineswn that there will be more to come. and not just of airline flights. at least two amtrak train routes in the northeast were cancelled over the weekend and so was a regularly scheduled car ferry in washington state at the san juan islands. in all cases, the employees in question who have been told to get the shot, did not show up. were these also protests against the biden shot mandates? we can't say for certain it certainly wouldn't surprise us >> seth: you can't say for certain? well then, please, by all means, put it on television [ laughter ] we all know that's how journalism works who could forget the famous woodward and bernstein headline, "did nixon do watergate? seems like the kind of thing he'd do but who knows?

in their traffic controllers, i stand with southwest airlines, employees who are fighting against these mandates. this isn't about the vaccine. this is about freedom. why is the weather only disrupting southwest? now at this point, it seems the issue as close to being resolved, that people are looking at the current flight schedules and expecting that things will return to normal. the questions remain about what caused the panic and cancellation of thousands of flights. oh, from cove religious stories for minute muslim calls to prayer will be heard across cologne. in germany, how to local authorities gave their approval for them to be broadcast overload speakers on friday afternoons. city officials say the movers have gesture of respect. cologne central mosque has been a flash point for anti muslim sentiments before, but the mares defended the decision. now. cologne is the city of religious freedom and diversity. those who arrive at the main train station are greeted by the cathedral and accompanied by church bells, many cologne residents, and muslims, allowing them where's in call is f

pilots at southwest airlines are facing a vaccine mandate.l be fired right before christmas if they don't submit to medicine they don't wt to take. a lot of them have already recovered from covid and do not need the vaccine, but the biden administration is forcing them anyway. so this weekend, a lot of them did not show up for work. that used to be called civil disobedience, but that is what is action happening. that happened this weekend. there is no doubt about it. the fact virtually everyone in charge has been lying about it tells you a lot. tells you on the one hand they do not want to own up to the results of their policies, the reckless, crazy policies, which are in effect a power grab and not public health, but it also tells you they are very worried because when ordinary people realize they have power, too, especially people with skills, who do things most people can't do like fly airplanes or run air traffic control centers, they realized by not doing those things, they can be heard, maybe the government has less power than they thin

this it was not to them would cancel these flights, it was southwest airlines themselves, and southwest airlines said it was bad weather that had caused these unplanned flight cancellations. we experienced weather challenges in our florida airports at the beginning of the weekend challenges that were compounded by unexpected air traffic control issues in the same region, triggering delays and prompting significant cancellations. now another workplace that has apparently been affected by this is the white house. however, the white house denies rumors that some staff were not coming to work in protest of the vaccine mandate. this is what the white house spokesperson said when confronted with these rumors, implementing these mandates create certainty. it reduces the number of people who are out of work sick and worse, and that is good ultimately for businesses, it's good for the economy. i know there was a little hubbub over the course of the last few days about southwest airlines. we now know that some of those claims were absolutely false and actually the issues were up completely unrela

so those rumors occurred at the southwest airline pilots association, which represents roughly $9000.00 pilots asked a federal court last friday to block the airlines order that all employees must get vaccinated. now, coincidentally, that's exactly when the flight cancellations are occurred. now the union said pilots had not the stage to stick out because of the backside mandate and instead blame to all the flight cancellation on south was operational issues out in the past. a pilot union have also argued that management has been very slow to bring pilots back from leave. i leave of absence, i should say, after the airline persuaded them to take during the pandemic, leaving them very short handed, a 7000 fear employees short handed. but this does look suspicious, since southwest has had much fewer cancellations. today, even though known, you stab has been hired since the chaos over the weekend. so the problems of southwest may run deeper than the staff issues we're hearing about when a site's avager. thanks so much for that update. what other story that's being described as science fict
