COVID-19 is a threat. Yes, it's a very real disease that kills lots of people.

However, the government lockdowns and the related intrusions on civil liberties pose a serious threat not only to lives, but to civilization itself—a threat must be resisted.

At this juncture, the science is quite clear on what key policy responses should be—or should have been. But this is no longer about the science, if it ever was.

What is required now is a mobilization against what is essentially an enormous public relations machine that is fuelling fear and removing agency from people’s lives the world over.

Today's guest is Nick Hudson from PANDA (Pandemics ~ Data & Analytics). PANDA is a collective of leading scientists, actuaries, economists, data scientists, statisticians, medical professionals, lawyers, engineers and businesspeople working as a collective to replace bad science with good science.

COVID-19
Nationwide lockdowns
Meat Shortages
Skyrocketing Unemployment
George Floyd's Murder
Black Lives Matter Protests Nationwide

But now it's time to put things in perspective. Now it's time to not only map out how these all connected, but how they are all caused by the actions (or inaction) at the behest of the state.

To help outline this case, Matt Kibbe from Free the People and Kibbe on Liberty (BlazeTV) returns to the show to help outline how the state has been the root cause of nearly all the problems our country has had to grapple with over the past three months.
