2021 December 23 The Bryan Hyde Show hour two

 

Have you seen the hours-long lines of people waiting to get tested for the omicron variant? As Jeffrey A. Tucker explains, it's a perfect example of how government overreach is creating a health care crisis.

Politicians and bureaucrats tend to be given a stature that they rarely deserve. Dr. Fauci is a good example of this. John Stossel reminds us that officials who claim to be the embodiment of science should not be taken seriously. Sen. Rand Paul agrees: Fauci is not beyond reproach.

To understand how democracy devolves into tyranny, start by studying history. Jeff Thomas notes that, like a sandcastle, democracy is always temporary and that people will embrace the illusion of safety in return for their freedoms.

I get it. Not everyone wants to be a psychic. Still, it feels pretty good to be paying close enough attention to what's happening to be able to predict certain outcomes. Kent McManigal says predictions take paying attention and noticing what's going on around you.
