The video of William Kelly addressing Lightfoot was great except for one thing. Those council members are painfully disrespectful! Shame on them also. They walked around and talked back and forth as if no one were addressing them. What a pitiful display of disrespect…and if they show that much disrespect and disregard for their constituents at a public meeting just imagine what they do when no one is looking. Shame on all of them!
Seems it's a thing. This is one of my favorite transcripts-- I love her always dignified but fiery spirit-- Peggy Hall made a public comment before the Orange County California Board of Supervisors in which she lambasted them for their disrespect while she was speaking.
Peggy Hall, whose website is thehealthyamerican.org, is a noted advocate of religious freedom based in Orange County, California. This transcribed excerpt is of Hall's 3 minutes for speaking to item 13 on the agenda of the Orange County Board of Supervisors meeting, the local emergency related to COVID-19. In the approximately 9-minute long video Hall also provides commentary both before and after the clip of her 3 minute testimony, which commentary has not been transcribed.

PEGGY HALL [unmasked, at podium, addressing masked supervisors sitting on dais]: This is Peggy Hall. I'm the former director of teacher education at the University of California Irvine. I'd like to educate you on some of the laws that are very important that you have been elected to uphold.
Today on agenda item 13 you're going to be speaking with Health Officer Chao* and getting an update. You are required by law, which is California Code 101080 to terminate, and Mr. [inaudible] knows this very well because we've had conversations about it, you are required by law to terminate the local health emergency at the earliest possible date. This is a law. And I just want to know if we have the assurance that we can rely upon the law in this county or whether they're just words on a piece of paper. So Health Code 101080 gives authority to the Health Officer to call an emergency. In California we have a definition of the word emergency–
And none of you are looking at me. Gosh, that's so disconcerting.
Hello?
Supervisors? Yes, thank you, thank you very much I do appreciate the courtesy. Um, I've waited to speak and I would appreciate the courtesy of your attention.
Supervisor Bartlett** has replied to my concern. Supervisor Wagner*** hasn't. Chairman Do**** congratulations on your position. And I would like you today when you speak to Supervisor Chao* to add an additional exemption to the unlawful health orders.
I just snapped a photo here on the door because it says what the exemptions are. [reading from the photo on her smartphone] It says that the cloth face covering shall not apply to any of the following persons: Children under the age of 2, anyone who has trouble breathing or who is unconscious, incapacitated or otherwise unable to remove the face cloth covering without assistance, or persons with a medical or mental health condition.
You need to add a religious exemption. Tens of thousands of Christians are being persecuted in this county. I am not Muslim, I do not veil my face. I was made in the image of God. You started this meeting with a prayer, are those just empty words? I was made in the image of God, I am an image-bearer of God, and I do not veil my face, that is a Muslim practice.
Let me tell you the law in California is California Government Code 129262. Please write this down and please research it. 129262. It's a definition of my religious liberty as protected that you have taken an oath to uphold.
[reading from paper] Religious dress practice shall be construed broadly to include the wearing of face coverings.
That means I have the ability to not wear a face covering.
I am calling on you today to have this conversation with Health Officer Chao and within 10 days I want to see that added to this exemption. If not, there will be a file of a notice of claim for legal action against you for not upholding your oath of office. Thank you.
