My wife works at Carhartt, and they are terminating her employment on Feb 16 because she will not get the vaccine due too several health issues and her religious beliefs. She has applied for their exemption to policy and has been denied. THANK YOU ADAM for standing up and helping bring this to the light.
I'm sorry that y'all are having to deal with this shit but thank you for being one of those standing strong! You're not alone and hopefully soon we'll make a difference
Whether you saw me asking for this video earlier this morning or you just did it because I knew you would, I expected this from you and you delivered sir! Thank you for using your platform to voice this opinion of all of us blue collar hard-working people!
Mr. Calhoun, what seems petty and trivial to those that haven't stood in line at work world and tried to decide between work gear and another week of peanut butter and jelly for lunch, is a concept that's incomprehensible by the same group. For those of us who have done what they don't, to achieve what they won't, it's just part of being that blue collared American. And for the company (not even gonna say their name) who got my money all of those years, to turn around and demand that employees get injected with whatever's in the needle, or face losing their livelihood, well, that's about as unamerican as I think it can get....... Unfollow you? Nah, I'm willing to spill the same blood in the same mud as you sir. And I've got a bag of marshmallows for just such an occasion. Thank you, and please keep doing what you do. Love and respect from the 209.
I too, would no longer buy anything from this company anymore and telling all of my friends and families not to spend a dime on carhartt anymore. Peace!
Why would anyone burn old Clothes? I cut my old clothes up for shop rags.. When they get dirty I soak them in used Motor oil and burn them in my woodstove.. a 100 % Recycling Process..
Don’t burn your Carthartts mail them back to them. That way they have to spend money to deal with it. Sends a louder message and will hit their profits immediately.
LOVE YOUR ALBUMS APPEARL AND ALL YOU BECAME MUCH LOVE NORTHERN AMERICAN CANADAIN ALBERTAN JUST A HILLBILLY BUT ALL OUR TRUCKS ARE HEADED TO OTTOWA PLZ SING AND HELP RAISE AWARNESS thanks keep it up 2024 for you sir
@@cameron7081 He doesn't have the heavy coats, bibs, and coveralls like Carhartt sells. That's what I meant that Adam should start selling. Give them a pure American competitor. As for Adam's hats, he's explained that several times.
My mom and I are a lot like you Adam we won’t buy Carhartt (we never have) she’s a biracial immigrant from Scotland and she agrees with most of what you say she came here to America in the 70’s worked her ass off became a police woman worked for 35 years and retired. Just before the crap started. And I know her skin has nothing to do with her at all? I’m just so proud of her I would not have asked for a different woman to be my mom. Not even if God gave me the option. She showed me that you have to work hard in life to get what you want and need. It’s people like you and her that inspired me to keep on even though I have autism. Society tries to put me down over that but I tell them to leave me the F alone. I’m going to become that guitar player I was meant to be. God bless you and your family Adam! I’m going to send this to my brother he loves Carhartt well he did he won’t for long lol.
@@tuefelhunden3391 citizenship yes by birth Scottish 100% still speaks heavily with a Scottish accent but it definitely is laid back a bit (can’t think of the other term for it)
The whole reason I have followed you from the beginning is because you stand for what is right and you stand on what this country was founded on!! Thank you for leading by example brother!! I won’t have many clothes left in my closet to say the least, being a heavy equipment mechanic, pretty much all I ever wore was the carhart brand of clothes but not any more my brother!! Ride or die bro!! Im A GOON!!
Better drop Apple, AT&T, Chevron, Cummins, CVS, Disney, Facebook, GE, Google, Intel, Microsoft, the Military, McDonalds, Netflix, Tyson, Uber, United Airlines, Walgreens, Walmart.... There are plenty of others.
Adam, Thank you so much for saying this! I lost my job with a federal contractor in right before Christmas when my boss/owner turned out to be a leftist pos and wanted to enforce his own mandate after the courts shut it down. I too have worn carhartt pretty much exclusively on every cold morning for the last 15 years. Never again bro. The disrespect to American freedom is disgusting right now. New job, more money, brand new 3500 crew cab. I'm going to need some new work clothes tho...
@@michaelriley8002 thorogood, and Carolina as well. Quit wearing red wings along time ago when they stopped making them in America, carhartt just stepped on the rights of the working class. When we purchase carhartt which isn’t cheap we are paying those workers salaries, hourly wage. We expect the rights of all Americans to be upheld and you crossed the line. I have spent thousands on carhartt work wear. Looks like I’m going back to wrangler
@@LIBERTY0RDEATH Yup. Keep it simple. If you never have all that stuff you wont miss it when it goes away. Carhartt is just a brand name. I can get pants hand made from an amish guy if I absolutely have too lol. It doesn't have to have a tag on it
It's b******* and there s*** is f****** horrible I got to buy size 38s for cars because if I buy my size and speaking my size is like a 3-in gap in my waist so it's not tight it shrinks to like a f****** 30 and I can't f****** fit in it no more I have to buy a f****** two sizes up to confiscate for the f****** washing for the shrink I've also asked a cohort worker Will these shrink if I buy these and she didn't know normally the shirts do I'm like okay so I bought a bigger shirt didn't shrink So now I got a big f****** shirt on me and tight ass jeans

Doc Holiday said," I stand corrected Wyatt, you're an oak." From one oak to another 🤘🏻. I lost my job, my home and truck this year bc I have four neurological disorders and my doc said don't do it, wasn't going to anyway. There's a price to pay to live against the flow, I always have and always will, now everyone else knows the price I've paid my whole life to not bend the knee to anything. I'm in the process of scraping my way back up, I've had practice in this leading me to where I'm at which is why it didn't break me. Thanks for a little encouragement along the way Adam, I appreciate you. No strings, no hey man help me. I appreciate hearing I'm not crazy and I did the right thing. At age 37 sometimes these days doing the right thing makes you feel mentally ill bc we're surrounded by mentally ill people. I should know I conquer mine everyday instead of normalizing it.
@e p I live in a rural area 10 moved from the largest Christian University in the world, largely Christian area. It's the lack of businesses that aren't chain owned. It's an America, Republicans that need primaried, public/private corporate corruption problem. I'm staying with my elderly parents and taking care of their property right now.for a bed. They cant care for their property anymore and can't pay someone to do it. One day it will be mine and my two older brothers who don't It won't be any different for me somewhere else, I'm not a scared or worried, voicing what I'm going through is only to confirm to others to stand up and push back when necessary. I'll either find a job eventually with a family I know doing work I can physically do as my ability for manual labor is waning. I built medium power transformers on third shift in a specialized position for ten years, one of six people in the plant who could run the process I trained four years to operate. I'm skilled, I have a bachelor of science degree in govtw/ minor in Biblical Studies. I worked in garages for 12 years from age 15-27 before building transformers. I will eventually build something of my own, I have nowhere to move to, my brothers live in cities, are rich with big houses and children with serious behavioral issues which are likely geneticand lack of discipline due to our father' harsh upbringing. They're cowards, but they're my cowards, and a time will come for me to shun them until then I'll pray for them. My fathers friends have filled the gap where the large family I never met on my father's side should be and my mother's side died out. I appreciate your advice and if things were different I would move. But I have spent the past year doing the work I was raised doing, meeting with men smarter than me, and reading Gods Word which has led me to believe I'm where I'm supposed to be for now. Good luck, God bless stay safe
Pretty shitty that doing the right thing causes more pain than doing nothing now a days that’s so wrong but I absouletly feel u my mental health is fucked right now I’m struggling so bad and can’t seem too just get it together everything is hard right now going too work used too be my outlet for all my issues but now I don’t even wanna leave the house anymore I am not a quitter but I just give the fuck up everyone wants something from me that I just cannot give and there’s so many just evil things that I just threw up my hands
Mr. Calhoun: I'm an old, retired cop whose music taste is as opposite to rap as is possible. Frankly, I never heard of you before today. However, now you can count me among your newest and biggest fans. Not only do I love your new song, but agree 1000% with every word in it (although, admittedly, it took me a few times through to get all of the words, LOL). I cannot thank you enough for using your platform to spread truth. You didn't just win the Internet today, IMHO your New World Order wins 2022. NOTE: I spent a few hours this evening listening to reaction videos and am amazed at how broadly your message is being received and applauded. THANK YOU!
@@jonsavage212 No, I did not know that and I'm not certain that it matters much to me. His message is still valid. I'm not going to judge his past unless I know more about the circumstances and whether he's progressed beyond it. As it happens, I'm from a town where it was not unusual for police to be assaulted. After such incidents, there have been several cases where I've become friendly with the convicted felon. It depends, some people make mistakes and then are better for it. I cannot speak to Mr. Calhoun's situation yet - but thanks for the heads-up.
Not on videos mostly well because I don't make any but I do always speak in the same tone as Adam does hell I even say the N word out in public around any and everybody blacks whites Hispanics doesn't matter and in my personal opinion it shouldn't fucking matter its all about your ton of voice whether its hateful or not...I grew up in the actual ghetto up until around 5 years ago and I'm 36 now...and I'll say this that I've NEVER had anyone of any race say anything about how I speak or told me I'm wrong for speaking how I speak and I understand that not everyone is accustomed to how some folks talk but that goes both ways ya know...and fuck these companies making people get shit put in there body that they don't want or else they lose there job the fuck kind of bullshit is that shit pisses me the fuck off its so fucked...aight I'm done with the reply didn't mean to write so fucking much on a reply just got to hitting letters and got fired up
If you want to really send a message, don’t burn your Carthartts mail them back to them. That way they have to spend money to deal with it. Sends a louder message that hits their profits immediately.
@@jasonj4865 couldn't agree more. Kills me to say it I've been carhartt my whole life. Hope they have enough hipsters to keep them going but I wouldn't bet on it.

Found this out and wanted to cry, I've always worn this brand on the farm or working in the factory, it's sad our country has come to this woke bullshit.
Send the message directly don’t burn your Carthartts mail them back to them. That way they have to spend money to deal with it. Sends a louder message and hits their profits immediately.
Yeah, why donate all those nice warm clothes you’ve already paid for to people who could really use them during this cold winter when ya could instead burn it all to make a point… makes sense.
I'm sure He could buy clothes to help keep someone warm if need be or donate some of his merch. He doesn't want carhart getting the advertisement from people wearing the brand.
@@floridatreasures7395 Doesn’t change the fact that about $1000 in nice clothes that have already been paid for just went up in flames. People can make a statement without pissing money away.
Why don't you go donate all of your clothes then? Quit trying to guilt trip others Into doing something they don't want to do. Fuck carhartt that's the whole point of this video.
Better Yet Serve them a Constitutional Notice instructing them of the Law !!!! That’s how The Auto Works shut them Down !! Notices and Affidavits are the Procedure for Correcting Government and Corporations !!
Agreed, donating all that Carhartt shit to the Salvation Army or Goodwill would be most beneficial... However, nothing emphasizes your stance on any given issue better than adding fire to a trail of gasoline!
Giving that stuff needy homeless veterans wont happen!! Not enough views for him in that. Better to complain about a private company make a business decision in the land of the free!
@@wolfmanxxl8221 how would you know what they would want? I didn't burn my carhartt shit but my next purchase will be Duluth. Many ways to make a statement being wasteful isn't one.
I’ve been called based plenty of times on my channel, but I’m not political I’m just doing survival stuff and shooting boom sticks, I do more then talk to a camera
UNFOLLOWED…as you asked me too. I am a Blue Collar guy who can’t afford to throw away nor burn the expensive clothes I purchased years ago for actual WORK not making Videos.
This hits so hard Adam! The company I work for furnishes us with carhartt pants...I just gave back 10 pairs of pants, I rather wear goodwill then subconsciously promote a brand that has forgotten who primarily wears and works in their stuff. If your not willing to stand for what you believe in, then there's no use in standing- Love and Respect from sunny ass Arizona!
'If your not willing to stand for what you believe in, then there's no use in standing'--Carharrt standing up for what it believes and y'all having a fit. JFC, you are all morons.
ive had the same two carhartt jackets for 15 years. theyve been with me thru the trades. one even caught a bullet accidentally. this is a disappointment.
Just wanna let u know I watched this video about an hour ago. I'm just now able to comment because I went outside to my fire pit and joined the protest. Brand new carhartt jacket purchased December 2021, gone...in a blaze of glory!!! Real Americans stand WITH ADAM CALHOUN #WeAreTheBRAVE
Carhartt is laughing at everyone burning their stuff because they already got your money for them. Just don't promote them by wearing them in videos and stuff.
This is true but burning it will ensure no one will ever see that article of clothing again, thereby stoping the promotion of. Sure it could be given away to homeless blah blah or whatever you think. But it’s about taking a stand for freedom and fighting back against the tyranny! Don’t be so simple minded! Do you stand for freedom or are you the type that claims they do but never makes any type of stand to resist??
@@myronbisconer LMAO. Burning their stuff creates artificial scarcity in the second hand market. This literally raises the value of their brand. In for a jacket for sure.
@@Mr___f your funny second hand market? Because the clothes that are being burned would have gone to the second hand market right! lol I don’t know about you but the second hand clothing market isn’t a very demanded market. I can’t remember when the last time I bought a used carhartt shirt!! Nice try tho!
I've been in construction my entire life and own a fencing company. Carhartt has always been my go-to for work clothes, and if I threw it all away, I'd literally have nothing to wear. I'd love to take a stand and follow suit, burning all my gear; however, I'd go broke trying to replace my clothing. Not all of us can afford to simply burn our shit. Adam, I've followed you for a couple years because I agree with your perspective on most topics, and I don't disagree with you on this topic, however I do recommend creating your own clothing line similar to Carhartt. Also, please understand that many of us can't afford to replace our entire wardrobe... I'd be happy to, but I simply can't if I want to support my family. Do you still want me to remove myself ? Perhaps you have advice for those of us still struggling financially? Thanks, Zach
Just don’t give them another cent if you so choose and either cover any visible Carhartt patches or remove them. The money is already spent, not getting it back, so it doesn’t hurt them to destroy your own stuff. Just don’t advertise it. Get a stitch puller from a sewing section, pretty easy to do. Hardworking people can’t just burn their work clothes. That’s silly. I won’t buy it for my son or husband ever again. My sons a general contractor. He owns a lot of their stuff. My husband is a big guy and they make big guy coats. Nah, not another cent. Gotta be another company to compete that isn’t mandating.
I agree 100% I also understand people are reluctant to burn something they have so much money tied up in. So here is my get around, I bought it so I'm cutting off the tags, and that way I'm no longer advertising for them. Than replace as necessary with a brand that supports my values. Independently right! Hell yeah.
About time that maybe someone who might or might not already have an awesome American made clothing company, puts the heart back in Carhartt and makes some competing lines. I'd buy it!
I'm a welder and was glad I didn't get their FR shirts with my logo on them late last year. I will not buy another one of their products period! Let the liberals support them, and see how that works for them! Freedom, in the USA! Thank you Adam for this video!!!
Come on T you know better. Don’t burn your Carthartts mail them back to them. That way they have to spend money to deal with it. Sends a louder message. Give them the Mass Effect treatment. Maybe even wipe your ass with it first.
It's baffling how many of these Fortune 500 companies are still bowing to the unconstitutional, failed attempt to force this one us. Proud of your stance on this!
I’ve come to the point that when I see a company will take someone’s liberty or livelihood for the sake of their version of justice, I’m standing for liberty at any cost. Shameful @carhartt
@@ajpend it's not much to expect your employees not to do illegal drugs there is scientific evidence of elicit drugs changing the way people think. I wouldn't want a crack head working at my jewelry store do you understand? The vaccine is NOT mandatory in our country, there is NO law forcing the American people to take it. Another thing you should think about is Vaccine Reparations for people who have been scared into receiving it or injured because of it. That's really all I will say, you are fishing for arguments and I don't fall for that. 😁
Welp another one to join the woke list. Levi's, Benchmade, Dick's sporting goods and now Carhartt. Love the videos Adam your honesty and how grounded you are make for the best videos I watch, good shit brother
Thank you sincerely Brother. I was about to spend about a few hundred dollars on new work stuff. Carhart was going to be some of it. I will just go with my original idea. I will be rocking ACAL on the job site now. Thank you.
i really appreciate you Adam. Thanks for standing up for the every day, simple Americans who believe in hard work and dedication. Carhart is a sellout and apparently isn't owned by the same people as it used to. There's still a lot of good people out there and if we all stand together, we can't be stopped!
@@LiftedYellowTJ I didn't say anything about politics. I was commending my fellow American for being someone who stands up for what they believe in. I don't care what party you're with, if it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck..........
I 100% agree with what you are saying I do construction, but I can’t stop wearing carhartt shit fits to well. Also it would be burning over half my clothes lol
Adam, We truly need more people like you that have some balls and speak their mind my wife tells me sometimes you’re an asshole I say no I’m just being real. Lol So many snowflakes nowadays worried about hurting someone’s feelings I have always spoken my mind and believe it should be that way love your music and videos
I am the sat way I speak my mind about things in public an my wife is like you need to be quiet If I did not want them to know how I felt we would have stayed home
“Snowflake?” Like this dude and others who are butt hurt because carhartt is taking a responsible and selfless stand to do their part and curb the spread of this virus?
I wanted a Carhartt jacket throughout my entire childhood, never got one til I got married. I worked construction at the time and work in it constantly, then in a junkyard for a year getting it cut up by the metal hanging from totaled cars to now driving forklift and wearing it throughout the winters. Something that I wanted as a child to now having to due away with as a man. Stand up America. Stand up to the BS.
Why hope they feel the consequences send it to them directly. Don’t burn your Carthartts mail them back to them. That way they have to spend money to deal with it. Sends a louder message and hits their profits immediately.
I'm from small town rural Iowa. Carhartt has always been a staple in people's workwear here, b/c like us, it was hard working, rugged, blue collar stuff. It's the main clothing sold at the only store in town. Most of my clothes are Carhartt. My t shirts, jeans, underwear, jackets, hats, coveralls...you name it. With that said, this whole ordeal fucking sucks, but I can not, and will not continue to support a company that doesn't support us. I can't stand with a company that stands against personal liberty, and the right of free choice.
@@qdogbenson3112 Are you talking about the Conspiracy theory damage to ppl or actual harm to ppl that you guys say is fake news? Only 0.0005% of people suffer any serious complications due to the vaccine. It's not even a full percentage point 😂
@@onecowayne Enjoy that Kool Aid. When you're ready to set your sippy cup down and think for yourself, you can join the adults. You want to bring up percentages? How about a 99% survival rate? Or maybe lets talk about how 80% of the people that are hospitalized or dying of covid are overweight or obese. Lets not forget the fact that natural immunity has been more effective than vacations against the Delta variant. Guess I'm just a conspiracy theorist... Oh wait, those facts and numbers all come straight from your homies at the CDC. If any of this was actually about saving people, and not controling them, maybe they'd mandate an exercise bike and ditch the snack and soda machines.
So, while I might not buy new Carhartt products, I'm not burning my stuff. I've got a Carhartt jacket that belonged to my Father-in-law who's passed. Not gonna lose that to a change in agenda.
Adam you should open a po box or something where people can send you their carhartt shit so you can burn it like you did yours or maybe even a drop-off dumpster somewhere or something
I'm a firefighter/paramedic. Something like ninety percent of the firefighters in my area got the vaccine the second it became available last January. Out of those hundreds of people I've never heard of anyone having any issue with it. We deal with so many covid patients that it just makes sense for me. Even as healthcare workers though, we weren't forced to get it and now that we know that, while it does reduce your chances of dying or being hospitalized, it doesn't stop the spread, so there is no justification in mandating it. If this becomes common knowledge, it can't be good for carhart's business.
I’m a Veteran who has lost faith in our country and Government. I’m stuck in a dead end job working my butt off (guess I’m lucky to have a job I guess) for libs who let anyone and everyone who isen’t brown or white do what they want and the rest of us must pull the weight on a daily basis and get treated like servants. PTSD, insomnia, deppression...You name it n alot of us Veterans got it. Many don’t have much saved for retirement due to debt and how expensive craps gotten in most parts of the US. I’ll probably never get to own a home and will likely have to retire outside the country I love someday. My question is who’s actually looking out for the good hard working Americans? The political parties sure aren’t...Vaccine, etc don’t apply to them....They live the good life. When will it all end? When will our country go back to having pride in or flag and Anthem just as we did prior and right after 9/11? Remember politicians from both sides on the steps of the Capitol singing God Bless America? I’m sorry but it ALL started with Obama and went down hill from there. Trump did a good job on the economy until Covid messed everything up but even the Reps have stood by for years and allowed Dems, blm, antifa etc do as they wish. Keep this up and Vets who have nothing to loss will most likely end up taking drastic and unfortunatly violent measures...Mark my words...Its coming.
I’m glad your mad brother, I’d be worried if you weren’t. More people need to make the world aware of their displeasure. Keep up the good works and God bless
Candian here. Dropped all my carhartt off to the goodwill. Just put in a order for a bunch of ACAL. I know not everyone can do thins as money is not easy to get. Right now today I could so I did...
Does anyone not see the irony of a RU-vidr wearing a Carhartt hat complaining about people wearing Carhartt "not doing Carhartt shit". Carhartt has become a fashion brand with Carhartt WIP for nearly a decade now. It's workwear for posers. I would think someone who wears copious amounts of military fashion shirts would understand fashion for posers.
I have a couple of carhartt things but I am not burning them. I’ll use them till I can’t but I won’t buy anything anymore. Not that I was huge into them since they started manufacturing in Mexico (nothing against Mexico just would rather American jobs.) on the other hand I just ordered origin USA jeans and I believe that company should replace carhartt.
Real American hero right here burning clothes that could be donated to families who are struggling to stay warm during winter or to the homeless. What a joke
Bought a lot from Carhartt over 45 years in the electrical industry, tapered off when I saw how much of their stuff comes from overseas. But now, Never Again. I’ll buy from Real Americans.
Adam my name is Terry Patterson and I'm a follower and subscriber of Tom MacDonald and now you. I'm rt there with you man. If we never stand for something we will fall for anything. Keep on keeping on.
