This is the Tom Hartman program.

Welcome back, Tom Hartman here with you.

Instead of telling you my story, I want to tell you somebody else's story here for a moment. This is a guy by the name of Tony Green.

You probably not heard of Tony Green or maybe you caught a small story about him in the media.

It didn't make much of a splash. but I thought it was a pretty important story.

Tony Green lives in Dallas, Texas. He's, you know, just your average guy, right? And he says, he actually wrote this

for the Dallas voice, which is a newspaper in Dallas.

He said, I admit, I voted for Donald Trump in 2016.

I admit traveling deep into the conspiracy trap over COVID-19.

All the defiant behavior of Trump's more radical and rowdy cult followers I participated in it. I was a hard-ass that stood up

for my God-given rights. He said I believed that the virus was a hoax.

I believe the mainstream media and the Democrats were using it to try to create panic,

to crash the economy, to destroy Trump's chances of re-election.

And so, believing the pandemic to be a hoax, my partner and I hosted family members on

Saturday, June 13th.

It's what, six weeks ago.

And this is where the story gets real interesting.

On Sunday, June 14th, I woke up sick, writes Tony Green.

Imagine, he writes, gasping for air with every breath you take, with every step you take.

Imagine rubbing an icy hot all over your head to soothe a painful headache.

Imagine your eyes in a bowl of water while you're still seeing through them.

Imagine collapsing and waking up in the ER only to find out COVID-19
