errors John ░░░░░░░░ author of When politicians ░░░░░░░░ the new Coronavirus expert ░░░░░░░░ and the tragic lapse ░░░░░░░░ opinion and vice president ░░░░░░░░ freedom works joins me ░░░░░░░░ John thanks so much ░░░░░░░░ being here congratulations on ░░░░░░░░ book You really layout ░░░░░░░░ by state instance by ░░░░░░░░ ways in which politicians ░░░░░░░░ down on their folly ░░░░░░░░ me read one expert ░░░░░░░░ quick from California and ░░░░░░░░ Newsom and this one ░░░░░░░░ out at me Says ░░░░░░░░ malibu California a paddle ░░░░░░░░ was arrested for exercising ░░░░░░░░ stay at home decree ░░░░░░░░ the golden state and ░░░░░░░░ one on October 3 ░░░░░░░░ California governor Gavin Newsom ░░░░░░░░ office sent out a ░░░░░░░░ telling golden staters don ░░░░░░░░ forget to keep your ░░░░░░░░ on inbetween bites To ░░░░░░░░ John that s the ░░░░░░░░ example of a rule ░░░░░░░░ was never followed but ░░░░░░░░ were proud to send ░░░░░░░░ anyway Oh of course ░░░░░░░░ you substitute political force ░░░░░░░░ freedom you get chaos ░░░░░░░░ you get absurdity Coronavirus ░░░░░░░░ took a break at ░░░░░░░░ There was supposedly all ░░░░░░░░ health yet they kept ░░░░░░░░ shutting down gyms and ░░░░░░░░ limiting the rights of ░░░░░░░░ to exercise think about ░░░░░░░░ It was okay to ░░░░░░░░ into target to buy ░░░░░░░░ furniture and flowers but ░░░░░░░░ you went to a ░░░░░░░░ shop or to a ░░░░░░░░ store or you went ░░░░░░░░ another store you couldn ░░░░░░░░ go in They were ░░░░░░░░ The idea was to ░░░░░░░░ crowds yet they shut ░░░░░░░░ all sorts of businesses ░░░░░░░░ concentrate crowds and the ░░░░░░░░ there was let s ░░░░░░░░ the curve downward I ░░░░░░░░ to know a viewer ░░░░░░░░ anyone who would purposely ░░░░░░░░ in behavior associated with ░░░░░░░░ to the hospital The ░░░░░░░░ idea of political force ░░░░░░░░ always all it did ░░░░░░░░ wreck lives and businesses ░░░░░░░░ jobs Pete You know ░░░░░░░░ meant in your title ░░░░░░░░ politicians panic Was it ░░░░░░░░ panic that caused them ░░░░░░░░ double down John Why ░░░░░░░░ they double down even ░░░░░░░░ they saw the dull ░░░░░░░░ of policies or when ░░░░░░░░ were getting crushed or ░░░░░░░░ they drunk on power ░░░░░░░░ did they double down ░░░░░░░░ as you know from ░░░░░░░░ long time politicians exist ░░░░░░░░ spend and they also ░░░░░░░░ to be seen doing ░░░░░░░░ so in this case ░░░░░░░░ fell for the idea ░░░░░░░░ okay the view raws ░░░░░░░░ spreading like wildfire so ░░░░░░░░ need to act but ░░░░░░░░ there is that if ░░░░░░░░ is spreading who needs ░░░░░░░░ law Its been documented ░░░░░░░░ I point out in ░░░░░░░░ book that the states ░░░░░░░░ lockdown late you know ░░░░░░░░ red states that allegedly ░░░░░░░░ t believe in science ░░░░░░░░ fact in those states ░░░░░░░░ people adjusted quickest They ░░░░░░░░ their lifestyle they stopped ░░░░░░░░ into restaurants and they ░░░░░░░░ mask S They did ░░░░░░░░ need to be forced ░░░░░░░░ avoid getting sick They ░░░░░░░░ not need to be ░░░░░░░░ to avoid in the ░░░░░░░░ instance of dying but ░░░░░░░░ substituted their decisions for ░░░░░░░░ and needlessly created an ░░░░░░░░ contraction Pete In New ░░░░░░░░ I m sure you ░░░░░░░░ an example of this ░░░░░░░░ at least heard anecdotally ░░░░░░░░ you closed down all ░░░░░░░░ wide open well ventilated ░░░░░░░░ and forced people into ░░░░░░░░ shacks outside to eat ░░░░░░░░ because that s outdoor ░░░░░░░░ will governors admit they ░░░░░░░░ t follow the science ░░░░░░░░ they didn t get ░░░░░░░░ right that they panicked ░░░░░░░░ No of course they ░░░░░░░░ t going Tok admit ░░░░░░░░ wrong they were could ░░░░░░░░ to acknowledge that they ░░░░░░░░ destroyed all sorts of ░░░░░░░░ impaired all sorts of ░░░░░░░░ so they will continue ░░░░░░░░ the fiction that we ░░░░░░░░ people on Earth who ░░░░░░░░ evolved trying to perpetuate ░░░░░░░░ existence somehow needed them ░░░░░░░░ hold our hands and ░░░░░░░░ s point out that ░░░░░░░░ growth has always been ░░░░░░░░ biggest enemy of
