CLAY: This is significant — and I’m not hearing it talked about very much at all, and I may have to build on this a bit going into the next segment here. But we all know that Joe Biden’s vaccine mandates have been taking a beating in all of our court system on a variety of different levels. And that’s because, as I’ve said — this is me putting my lawyer hat on for a little bit here — he’s tried to argue that he has the authority to implement this vaccine mandate under OSHA regulations.
That’s a wildly expansive reading of OSHA, which is a regulatory body and isn’t actually given, by and large, the kind of expansive scope and authority that Joe Biden is trying to claim for it. Well, what I said — and I think this is a good argument — is if there were really a great demand for a federal vaccine mandate, one way to demonstrate more legitimacy would be if there was a vote in Congress and the House and the Senate agreed with Joe Biden and said, “You know what? We need a federal vaccine mandate.”
But they haven’t done that. In fact, based on what happened late last night, the majority in the Senate, which remember is evenly divided 50/50, would now oppose Joe Biden’s federal vaccine mandate. I’ve hardly seen anybody talking about this. But Joe Manchin late last night put out a statement — West Virginia’s Democratic senator, Joe Manchin — and he said, “I will not vote to shut down the government for political reasons. But let me be clear…”

Joe Manchin said, “I do not support any federal vaccine mandate on private businesses. That’s why I have cosponsored — and will strongly support — a bill to overturn the federal government vaccine mandate for private businesses. I have long said we should incentivize, not penalize, private employers whose responsibility it is to protect their employees from covid-19.” He said he’s been vaccinated, he encourages people to do so, but he does not believe that the federal government should be enforcing this private vaccine mandate.
