to can your employer be looking out for your health? we re at this kind of bedrock place. is it possible to create a situation in which your employer can be looking out for your health credibly and b, when the violence of the game is part of what is making the money for that employer. there s violence in a lot of workplaces. people lift up boxes hundreds, thousands of times a day. they re running a marathon every day. truck drivers, warehouse workers, people, nurses have incredibly high injury rates. these are like professional athletes. the employers are not living up to their responsibilities to prevent the injuries. and the nfl talks about things like good, clean hits and teaching best practices in tackling, but it s a possibility that the sport of football might carry so many risks that not only is there a way to eradicate all head injuries, that s the argument they make, but it is possible that a significant number of people who play, no
standards are, are going to compliment that, et cetera, et cetera. listen, let s make this very clear because there is misunderstanding. our woman have been in harm s way. they have been attacked, ambushed, their vehicles have been blown up. they have been in firefights and they performed very well. what general amos is talking about and what i have been talking about is direct ground combat, which is offensive attack to close with the enemy under fire and to do it day in, and day out. that is the essentially the work of infantry organizations. the brits conducted studies on this for 18 months and found that the women s bodies break down, the injury rates were sky-high and they rejected it. they looked at it again just recently two years ago and they came to the same conclusion general amos had is that, our numbers are going to be so few, they said, .01% of women could possibly ever make it through this, that we re not going to have successful
with osha and the occupational safety regulations. but i still have both my eyeballs. megyn: we functioned rather effectively for hundreds of years with farming being the backbone of america. what problem is this regulation solving? if the statistics for injury rates are so low, safety standard are so high. in this law safety measures and safety organizations will be defund like the 4h. you know what it does do? megyn: that same question, why are we doing it if there isn t a problem. this is where you can have a companion philosophy between the united nations bureaucrat and the obama administration brew krats. they believe government can solve problems even if they
really thinking about the needs of the kids. we re looking at issues of liability for the cities, for the manufacture you ares of the equipment and so on. jon: rubber padding and jungle gyms not higher than four, five, six feet, that kind of thing? that sort of thing. look, it s good stuff. it does help the kids with seeing injury rates starting to fall. but on the flip side of that, what we re also seeing, kids are not learning the developmental skills that they need to be able to mature through. quite often when they re not facing any risk whatsoever, then later on in life they become fearful of anything that becomes a challenge. so, we have to try to find that balance somewhere along the line of having safety for kids but still getting them the thrills that they need and there will be a little risk to that and, that s part of life anyway. jon: a skinned knee and maybe even a broken arm or something is part of childhood? god forbid, that is part
