Indoor kind, dining fitness, indoor kind, dining fitness facilities. This is going to be a requirement. The only way to patronize these establishments indoors will be if you are vaccinated at least one Dose Steve there. You have got the mayor of New York City, announcing new rules for the big apple mandating proof of vaccination via Covid to enter restaurants, gyms theaters, you name it anything indoors Lawrence. I decided to hit the street to find out how this mandate will impact the city thats already struggling from the impact of the pandemic. Take a look, so you represent over four thousand restaurants. The mayor just came out with this guidance. What does it mean for you? Listen! Our citys restaurants have been absolutely devastated. This is another imposition thats going to be extraordinarily tough for restaurants to deal with. Restaurant workers have been put

in the impossible position throughout the pandemic to essentially be the covid police. Honestly im not real happy about it. I think that its my business, whether or not I wanted to be vaccinated- and I dont feel comfortable telling that information to just anybody- I dont think its necessary. At this point. You take precautions, you wear the mask. If you feel like you need to, and you make yourself comfortable, I dont think its important that we show it Lawrence. Do you feel comfortable sharing your vaccination status? I dont even know I havent really thought about it, but it sounds fishy though I mean honestly, why not? If you are vaccinated and proof why not? I dont see the downside to it. If you not vaccinated, can you stay outside? I think more people will come to New York as a result. What about the people that cant get vaccinated? They may have medical issues or natural immunity. How do you feel about that? Well, I would think that they would have to get some kind of

permit or something like showing that right, because it wouldnt be fair, a lot of people with a lot of different and passionate views about this, but the one thing that we know is we cant get shut down again and, if thats a potential threat, we need to do everything now to avoid it Ainsley thats, for going out there Lawrence Lawrence. My pleasure of Ainsley lets bring in law, professor at George Washington, university Jonathan Turley Good Morning to you good morning, Ainsley. How does this play out? Will this hold up in court? It probably will because the standard that applies is relatively low, a rational basis. The courts have been highly deferential to states. In fact, the state mandate of this kind in Massachusetts was upheld in the early 1900s. There is also a lower court decision involving mandated measle shots in New York. That was upheld, but it can be challenged.

We have seen a challenge by law, professor recently, who has natural antibodies and is challenging George Mason University, which is requiring him against the advice of his doctors to get vaccinated anyway. So we are going to have to look at the details on this, so called New York Pass. But the key here is that many of these proposals have been supported by people who say we really have to make life hard on the unvaccinated. Cnn. Medical analyst said that recently we have to make it as difficult as possible to live without the vaccine, so there is a type of coerced consent model that is kicking in here Steve. I was reading last night on this channel. Sean Hannity was talking about how apparently in New York City only about thirty three percent of african Americans have gotten the shot. That means two thirds of african Americans in New York would be barred from going indoors to restaurants and shops and Ainsley Gyms,

Steve, gyms and stuff like that thats right, and this is going to have a disproportionate impact on that population. It also leads a contradiction of other activities that are not prescribed in this way. Two professors recently came out and said that going out in public should now be viewed as a privilege, not a right, and they analogized it to driving where you have to get a license and thats how far this rhetoric is going. You know they are ignoring the fact that being in public impacts, other rights, religious observation, free speech, right of association, but they want to use this sort of driving model that if you are not vaxxed, if you are not vaccinated, then you are sort of like an unlicensed driver who, I presume, has to stay in your house Lawrence professor. I have just got get your reaction real quickly. Does that scare? You, because you are a civil libertarian. You have great defense of the constitution with these laws

being implemented in the country and seems like a lot of society is accepting. It is that a chilling affect it does Lawrence. It concerns me a great deal, thats why we dont we have drivers licenses but not licenses for free speech. You know the the United States, government and state governments occupy that space that we dont occupy. They dont indulge us, we indulge them. They are there to structure the rights that we enjoy and that narrative seems to be flipping with some of these academics. Steve interesting stuff lets see what happens. Jonathan. Thank you very much.
