0:00.0 | Alright, we're doing a quick hit today to help highlight someone who's fighting these insane |
0:04.0 | lockdowns as hopefully you are in your own little way. I'll be sitting down with Anton, |
0:08.6 | the owner of Nick the Greek restaurant in Ventura County, and you probably recognize him because |
0:13.9 | he's the guy who stood up to government regulators trying to shut down his business. |
0:18.9 | I'm going to throw to the viral video that has been seen millions of times already, |
0:22.5 | and then we're going to go right into my interview with Anton, so first take a look at the video. |
0:52.5 | Okay, so we have a COVID-19 pandemic suspension at the front end here. We're not supposed to be open, |
1:02.1 | but there's a spend on Friday. The order was issued by public health that says that we need to |
