In this excerpt from The Dennis Prager Show, host Dennis Prager denounces United Airlines and its CEO, Scott Kirby, for two controversial policies. First, he condemns United’s decision to reserve 50% of flight‑school seats for women and people of color, labeling it a dangerous form of affirmative action. Second, he attacks Kirby’s COVID‑19 vaccine mandate, alleging that employees who refused the vaccine were stripped of pay and medical insurance, faced harassment, threats, and financial ruin, and were warned that seeking exemptions could cost them their jobs. Prager characterizes Kirby as a "bad human being" and urges listeners to stop flying United, avoid using the United Visa card, and publicly pressure the airline on X (formerly Twitter). He concludes by promoting the full episode on Pragertopia.com.

Hi everybody, Dennis Prager here. You know, I have mentioned to you a couple of weeks ago about United Airlines and its policy now of reserving 50% of its flight school to women and people of color. And I thought that affirmative action in that realm is a dangerous game to play. And the Federalist has a piece today on this CEO. Toxic bosses like United Airlines vaccine-pushing CEO must be held accountable. There's no such thing as being woke in one area. It doesn't exist. I wrote about, I don't know, 6 weeks ago, a month ago, I wrote a column. How come if I know your position on men menstruating, I know your position on Gaza? How is that possible? Because it, when the mind, when the conscience is broken, And it's, it's not just broken. It's rarely broken in one area. This, this guy is a, uh, he's a bad dude. And as I said, I'm, uh, I look, there are times I can't help it, but I'm trying not to fly United. I think you should let them know I'm trying. I've minimized my use of the United Visa card, which eventually I'll just get rid of. United CEO Scott Kirby displayed a hostile attitude toward any employee who did not comply with his orders to get the COVID vaccine. By September 2021, all, quote, reasonably accommodated, unquote, pilots, flight attendants, and customer-facing employees who declined the injection were stripped of their pay and their medical insurance. In other words, he's a bad human being. How bad people get to positions means that there's something rotten in the culture of United Airlines. You don't hire such a bad human being if you have a good group. So you, you must let United know that Scott Kirby is— you're not going to fly Kirby Airlines any longer. Believe me, if it would take— you should, you should put this up on Twitter, now known as X. This is where you can fight. It's really, it's, it's unbelievable. I mean, he stripped people of their medical insurance. This is to, to hurt you. His aim was to hurt you if you didn't, if you worked for United and didn't get a vaccine. So he hurt people because the healthy shouldn't have taken the vaccine. It's, it's, it's very angering. Which begins, Kirby apparently used every dirty trick in the book to pressure every single one of United's 60,000 employees to submit to the injections and other COVID-related mandates. Tactics included mockery, threats, harassment on the job, pressure on family members, and literal financial ruin. He even warned that anyone considering an exemption, whether because of a sincere religious objection or because of an authenticated medical need certified by a physician, should, quote, "be very careful because you're putting your job on the line." It's, it's not common that I will call somebody a bad human being. People make mistakes. He's a bad human being, and he heads an airline. Don't fly it if you don't have to.
