Will Oregons indoor mask mandate is set to expire this February, but if health officials in the state get their way, the rules could be in place for good as they consider making that rule permanent. The Oregon health Authority, explaining quote permanent means indefinite it doesnt necessarily mean indefinite huh. We can repeal it as well were only allowed to have a temporary rule for one hundred and eighty days, anything that goes beyond one hundred and eighty days we cannot extend it. Alex Skarlatos is running for Congress in the state of Oregon. He is joining us now to discuss Alex Great, to see you this morning. It is set to expire, but if they make it permanent Alex, it is at their discretion to sunset. The provision mask until authorities say no more in Oregon. What say you I say that is ridiculous. I think we should have the most local government possible controlling these mask mandates. There is no one saying you have

to where a mask wherever you go, but to have it mandated by someone in a state, office or federal office, or anything like that. I believe it is crazy. These covid infection rates are all across the country and all across inside of each state. I dont know why the state or federal government is mandating anything, and I find it incredibly hypocritical when Nancy Pelosi and Joe Biden dont obey their own mandates, but expect us at the drop of the hat. Will that is fascinating? Not just Pelosi and Biden. Look almost every democratic mayor who dont obey the mandates in Oregon to make a it permanent. Look at timeline of Indoor Mask mandate June, two thousand and twenty. The first mask mandate was issued for indoor public International Space Station June, twenty one it was lifted August. It was reissued sunset in February

now. Extending it out here is what is funny Alex youre in Oregon. You point out the hypocrisy. This is supposedly a democratic process. When do people look at this and go if they dont obey it? How do they make it permanent? Well, I wish people would wake up and do that with a lot of things, not just mask mandates its a huge overreach in my opinion, and unfortunately, that is what happens in a lot of states like Oregon. California, New York, where you have one party rule top to bottom, almost every office. Hopefully we change that this year in twenty twenty two I want Rerepublicans across the country, not only repeal mask mandates, which I believe are unconstitutional but expand our rights outside of coronavirus, lockdowns and go on the offense for a change will Alex. I dont know how you feel like it always accompanying

your name. It always bears mentions run for Congress. One of heroes that stopped terror attack on the train in France some years ago turned into a movie directed by Clint Eastwood.
