Update, 11:30 Am Pt: Walt Disney Co. CEO Bob Chapek joined with other business leaders at the White House for a meeting with President Joe Biden on vaccine mandates.
Although representatives from Fox were not present, Biden again called out the company for instituting its own vaccine guidelines, including disclosure of their vaccine status or submitting to daily testing.
Biden said that it will “take a little bit” for the Labor Department, through the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, to put a regulation in place mandating that businesses with 100 or more employees ensure that their workforce is vaccinated or that they go through regular Covid testing.
“The vaccine requirements work, and more companies are instituting them,” Biden said, according to a pool report. “Even Fox News is requiring it. I am not being facetious when I say that, but it’s interesting that they’ve stepped forward and done that as well.

President Joe Biden is meeting with a group of high-ranking CEOs from around the country, including Disney CEO Bob Chapek, to discuss Covid-19 vaccine requirements and a potential mandate that would affect millions of workers around the country.
The group of invited executives have all established vaccine requirements at their respective companies. In July, the Walt Disney Company announced that all salaried and non-union employees must get vaccinated before returning to work. In August, Disney reached an agreement with its Service Trades Council Union, which represents around 30,000 employees at Disney World, to ensure all workers are vaccinated.
Others executives invited to the discussion with Biden include Greg Adams, Chair and CEO of Kaiser Permanente; Brad Smith, President of Microsoft; Madeline Bell, President and CEO of Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia; Josh Bolten, President and CEO of Business Roundtable; Roz Brewer, CEO of Walgreens Boots Alliance; Tim Boyle, President and CEO of Columbia Sportswear; Molly Moon Neitzel,...

Season 4, Episode 2: Thirty-Eight Snub
Directed by Michelle MacLaren
Written by George Mastras
Thirty Eight Snub features two memorable scenes. No one can forget Walt receiving a fist to the eye and a half a dozen kicks to the midsection from Mike the Cleaner. Mike is a man of few words, and speaks only to avoid trouble and make his job less complicated, but when Mike speaks, his words are heard and heard loud:
“Do yourself a favour and learn to take yes for an answer.” -Mike
The other unforgettable scene featured Walt purchasing a gun from Lawson. The dialogue in this scene was reminiscent of a Tarantino film or a Elmore Leonard novel: “Some call it a moral right, I do include myself within that class … If you’re not a convicted felon, you might be best advised to bear your arms within the confines of the law.”
