You're listening to the Tudor Dixon Podcast in the Clay and Buck Podcast Network.

Welcome to the Tudor Dixon Podcast. I'm Tudor Dixon and it's great to have you tuning in today because I am

excited to be reunited with one of the many incredible people I met on the

campaign trail in the state of Michigan. Ian Murphy is the owner of the Iron Pig smoke house in Gaylord, Michigan,

and one of the fighters against the lockdowns that Gretchen Whitmer had in the state,

a really serious fighter, and you got kind of in trouble for that.

So you're one of the bold people in the state and I think you're sort of, I would say you're being vindicated right now, but welcome to the program.

Thank you for having me. I appreciate it. And yeah, vindication, having a published opinion

come from the Court of Appeals is a big deal.

So that's the vindication that you're speaking of.

And it's not even our case that was ruled on in the Court of Appeals last week, but it upholds our win in the lower court ruling.

So, yay for freedom and yay for judges with some sense.

Well, so for folks that are outside of the state of Michigan,

they may not know that Michigan had the longest restaurant

lockdown of any state in the United States.

I think it was a full eight months when you put it all together that

restaurants were locked down. We were locked down from March until June. There was a small time that it was

open, then the holidays again. And then I think it was almost through the

next March again right that the restaurants were locked down it was yeah it's

hard for me to remember because we stayed open for nearly.

All of that, we were closed the first part

in early March of 2020 when we really didn't know what was going on.
