Even though anecdotal and market-based evidence from the virus's epicenter indicated very low lethality, politicians quickly imposed economy-crushing lockdowns on the rather specious assumption that unemployment, bankruptcy, and starvation would somehow halt the virus's spread.  Tamny methodically dismantles the political consensus by showing how economic growth has long been the first and last answer to death and disease. He then shows how politicians, having mindlessly crushed a growing economy, proceeded to double down on their mistakes by throwing taxpayer money at their shocking errors.

John Tamny: More Freedom is SAFER than what we are doing now John Tamny is the Vice President and Director of the Center for Economic Freedom at FreedomWorks, the editor of Real Clear Markets and Senior Economic Adviser to Applied Finance Group. As an author, his latest publication is ‘When Politicians Panicked: The New Coronavirus, Expert Opinion, and a Tragic Lapse of Reason'. In this interview we focused on John's primary argument – that we are witnessing massive swings toward centralised economic planning. This leads to his diagnosis that more freedom is actually safer at the population level, and we are abandoning that safety for psuedo-safety which is actually more dangerous.

It's almost two years on from the onset of the Covid virus and we know a lot now that we didn't then. Society should be healing. But we live in vitriolic and partisan times, and widespread disagreement abounds about what it was, what it is, what it isn't and how to cope with it.  Yet to those who understand how economies work, this much seems clear: governments' blunderbuss one-size-fits-all lockdowns and mandates have turned a manageable public health problem into a social, medical and economic catastrophe.  It did not have to be this way. Joining me on this episode to talk about the price we've paid and where we go from here are two of our most independent economic and social thinkers: Donald Boudreaux,  professor of economics at George Mason University, who runs the “go to” blog “Cafe Hayek” which has become a critical resource for facts about Covid and sensible response strategies. And John Tamny, editor of Real Clear Markets, a Forbes Magazine editor and the author of “The End of Work” and “When Politicians Panicked: The New Coronavirus, Expert Opinion, and a Tragic Lapse of Reason”.   John and Don cover a lot of ground: the damage done to our civil liberties, the labor market, the politicization of “science”, the madness of declaring businesses essential or non-essential, supply chains, social media censorship, how lockdowns were used to usher in the new era of mail-in ballots and how rule by experts - think Anthony Fauci - failed.  We needed leadership wise enough to let sensible Americans take the measures we used in every pandemic over the last century. Instead, we got draconian lockdowns and mandates. As Don clarifies, “No doubt, a lot of these people thought they were acting in the best interest of society, but it's completely antithetical to the principles of a free society.” Listen in here as we explore how to recover our Liberty.

Seriously, don't look at the headline collage Stigall posted on social media.  In fact, don't listen to this podcast – that is assuming you still live in a world where we're “building back better” and everything's just fine with the most popular man ever elected in history.  Now, for the rest of you living in the real world, dive on in as Stigall interviews John Tamny – author of  “When Politicians Panicked: The New Coronavirus, Expert Opinion, and a Tragic Lapse of Reason.”  And hear from a retired pilot who gives Stigall background on the Southwest lockdown as well as a truck driver who helps provide insight as to why his colleagues are leaving the industry.

RealClearMarkets, Editor John Tamny has just written a new book called “When Politicians Panicked: The New Coronavirus, Expert Opinion, and a Tragic Lapse of Reason” (Post Hill Press.) He recently spoke about the book to an audience at the Mises Institute, a think tank that promotes teaching and research in the Austrian school of economics in the tradition of Ludwig von Mises. The program runs about forty minutes in length including the questions and answer period.

John Tamny chronicles the profound ignorance and malfeasance of policy makers at all levels during 2020. Does the varied response to the virus, across nations and among US states, show the path to a far more decentralized political future? Or will Covid usher in the Great Reset, an attempt to create top down rule by elites? Includes a Question-and-Answer period. Recorded in Colorado Springs on August 21, 2021. Special thanks to William Brennan for sponsoring this event.

The political response to Covid-19 cased a massive economic event that led to a self-fulfilling prophecy. The monetary response of the government has led to inflation concerns that won't be going anyway anytime soon. Jason Hartman is joined by John Tamny, author of the new book When Politicians Panicked The New Coronavirus, Expert Opinion, and a Tragic Lapse of Reason, to discuss our current economic climate and whether it's time to replace the US currency with something from the free market.

Financial journalist John Tamny has written the definitive book on the disastrous political mismanagement of Covid-19—and the resulting (still unfolding) calamities. When Politicians Panicked is a superb analysis of the economic tradeoffs ignored by alarmist Covid policymakers, and a blow by blow account of their bungling in the early months of 2020. But this is also a book about economic growth, employment, markets and prosperity, with well-supported arguments written in Tamny's clear prose. Tamny helps readers See the Unseen, namely that terrible consequences of lockdowns far exceed any danger posed by the virus. Let's hope the experts he skewers in this book take notice.

Tamny helps readers See the Unseen, namely that terrible consequences of lockdowns far exceed any danger posed by the virus. Let's hope the experts he skewers in this book take notice.

The global economy was booming as 2020 dawned, but within a few short months wreckage, death, and desperation borne of economic contraction were the new normal. What happened? In When Politicians Panicked, economic commentator John Tamny tells the heart-wrenching story of a time when politicians were tragically relieved of basic common sense in their response to the new coronavirus. In March of 2020, the virus quickly became a major news item as political panic about it traveled around the world.

Tamny methodically dismantles the political consensus by showing how economic growth has long been the first and last answer to death and disease. He then shows how politicians, having mindlessly crushed a growing economy, proceeded to double down on their mistakes by throwing taxpayer money at their shocking errors. Throughout When Politicians Panicked, Tamny makes a relentless case that free people don't just produce the wealth that renders today's killers yesterday's news. They also produce crucial information about health threats that shine a light on that which threatens us.

Our guest today is John Tamny. John is Vice President at FreedomWorks, and Director of its Center for Economic Freedom. He's also editor of RealClearMarkets, and Senior Economic Adviser to mutual fund firm Applied Finance Group. He frequently writes about the securities markets, along with tax, trade and monetary policy issues that impact those markets for a variety of publications including the Wall Street Journal, Investor's Business Daily, Financial Times, National Review and London's Daily Telegraph. Tamny is the author of five books. His latest is When Politicians Panicked: The New Coronavirus, Expert Opinion, and a Tragic Lapse of Reason, which was released on March 30, 2021. Tamny received a BA at the University of Texas at Austin, and his MBA at Vanderbilt. 1) Tell us about this FreedomWorks tour: America's Comeback? You were recently here in AZ, and had some local, national and even international speakers. - CL Bryant, Kari Lake, AZ State Senator Kelly Townsend, Nigel Farage 2) These days the division is so thick that it seems like every conversation causes us to place people in little Political boxes. In your book from 2019 They're Both Wrong: A Policy Guide for America's Frustrated Independent Thinkers you talk about how both Democrats and Republicans have turned the Constitution on its head. Can you break that down for us a bit? 3) Looking over your book titles, back in 2016 Who Needs the Fed? You wrote about the central bank's onrushing economic irrelevance. While only 5 years ago, that seems ahead of the curve in the public's consciousness when thinking about how we could possibly do without the Fed. Tell us about this book. 4) In your most recent book When Politicians Panicked: The New Coronavirus, Expert Opinion, and a Tragic Lapse of Reason you make the case that there were errors and mistakes. But, through the lens of Globalism these “mistakes” look a bit more calculated. Talk to us about that. - Tamny methodically dismantles the political consensus by showing how economic growth has long been the first and last answer to death and disease. He then shows how politicians, having mindlessly crushed a growing economy, proceeded to double down on their mistakes by throwing taxpayer money at their shocking errors. 5) Our next round of elections across the nation are only a few months away. We need to secure our election process, we need to raise up new leaders, we need to elect people who are dedicated to being public servants and Constitutionalists. How can we do that in just a few months' time? 6) What is on the horizon for FreedomWorks?

John Tamny, is vice president at FreedomWorks, and director of its Center for Economic Freedom, and author of When Politicians Panicked: The New Coronavirus, Expert Opinion, and a Tragic Lapse of Reason. Today he touches on the absurdity of Andrew Cuomo as a leader throughout this pandemic and Joe Biden calling on others to look to him as an example of what to do in a crisis. Clearly the NY Attorney General disagrees, as it is now expanding its investigation of sexual-harassment allegations against the Gov. Cuomo to look at whether one of his top advisers linked access to Covid-19 vaccines to support for the governor, according to people familiar with the matter. The NYT reports that the governor has begun to publicly undermine the state attorney general, Letitia James, who is overseeing investigations into Cuomo's conduct.  The Sean Hannity Show is on weekdays from 3 pm to 6 pm ET on iHeartRadio and Hannity.com.

It’s become something of an obsession for Stigall but he can’t get over the curious behavior and movement of *President Biden and the First Lady.  This time at a rally in Georgia, Biden obsessively searches for his mask while outside at an all-car attendee rally.  Daniel Horowitz, Senior Editor at The Blaze and host of Conservative Review podcast wants to break the back of the COVID cult, and as he and Stigall discover it’s not exclusively found amongst Democrats.  Paris Dennard is the GOP Director of Black Media Affairs and tackles the bigotry and racism hurled at South Carolina Senator Tim Scott by the American left simply for offering the Republican response to Biden this week.  And the brilliant John Tamny – author of “The New Coronavirus: Expert Opinion and a Tragic Lapse of Reason.”

The city's health commissioner banned dances and closed theaters, churches, and schools. At the height of the epidemic, anyone going out in public was required by law to wear a mask made of six layers of gauze. This was supposed to keep the flu germs from spreading.This 1918 photo shows a woman elevator operator in a Seattle building wearing her flu mask.Subjects (LCTGM): Elevators; Communicable diseases; Women--Employment Influenza; Public health The New John Batchelor ShowCBS Audio Network@BatchelorshowJohn Tamny #Unbound.

Capitalism is Evil…(except when it's not)          Today:   BLM co-founder Patrisse Cullors is an avowed and proud Marxist.  She's also the proud owner of $3.2 million dollars in real estate purchased over the last few years.  How does she justify it?  John has that audio, along with an extended clip of Dr. Fauci tap-dancing around the question of  “When will Americans get their liberties back?” Later, John Tamny, author of When Politicians Panicked:  The New Coronavirus, Expert Opinion, and a Tragic Lapse of Reason, is on to talk about that.

Kim and Producer Steve are joined by Cynthia Sarmiento, founder of Just Defy (justdefy.org) in studio.  The trio begin with a conversation on the Battle of the Narrative.  Two words come to mind immediately, conservative and Democrat.  The Blueprint was written as a Colorado experiment and the “petri dish” proved to be successful.  Basic tenets have been exported to other states.  Constant and inflammatory language is constantly being used by the radical left in our schools and in mainstream media.  The Wuhan-China virus has alerted parents as to what is being taught through zoom classrooms.  Cynthia states that apathy and indifference is what will take down this country.  HB21-1121 Residential Tenancy Procedures is another chip away at private property rights.  Major League Baseball takes the All Star Game away from Atlanta because of false reporting on the new Georgia voting law.  Interesting to note that you must present a valid ID to get your tickets at the stadium window.  Similar to Coca Cola who supports the MLB and also demands valid ID to participate in shareholders meetings.  We must defy this socialistic movement through individual responsibility.  Cynthia is working to bring people into the fold through her organization Just Defy.  People are already participating in politics even if they are not aware of it.  Politics in into you. Cynthia is training and educating people as to how they can help stop what processes have been taking place which have brought negative results continually for the Republican Party.  In its place, innovative thinking  will bring success. Jason McBride, Senior Vice President with Presidential Wealth Management, agrees that we need new thinking to motivate and organize people.  Biden last Friday admitted that people who earn $200,00 will experience tax increases as a result of his Infrastructure Plan.  Taxes are always one of the great unknowns when planning for the future.  Give Jason a call at 303-694-1600 to review your financial plans and discuss if your portfolio needs any changes. Guest John Tamny, Director of the Center for Economic Freedom at Freedom Works and author of When Politicians Panicked: The New Coronavirus, Expert Opinion and a Tragic Lapse of Reason, joins Kim and Cynthia to discuss the tragic loss of reason during the Wuhan-China virus year.  The force of economic constraints was seen as the solution to the virus when, in actuality, it killed many businesses, livelihoods and people.  The biggest killer has always been poverty.  The notion of “two weeks to flatten the curve” was always a lie.  It took away people's ability to come together and it created strife by separating people and forming different classes of victimhood.  Freedom produces the information to overcome the virus.  We don't need political force.  Freedom is the answer and liberty is the responsible exercise of freedom.

Talking with John Tamny about his upcoming book "When Politicians Panicked: The New Coronavirus, Expert Opinion, and a Tragic Lapse of Reason." His premise, and I agree, is that experts aren't the answer to crisis, they are the crisis.  What was needed at the onset of the virus was leadership wise enough to let sensible Americans figure out how to protect themselves. Information coming from China in January and February made it very clear that the virus was/is many things, none of them remotely justifying the enormous health, social and economic costs imposed by our panicked political response to it. Instead, our political leaders needed to provide information guidelines about the risks, take steps to protect the vulnerable and their caregivers, and otherwise let people take care of themselves and each other. Give them the facts and a little bit of guidance, and their intelligence and common sense will see them through. Pretty much what South Dakota and Sweden did. John writes, "One-size-fits-all lockdowns have crushed the global economy, left us in a worse position to fight the virus and has pushed hundreds of millions back into poverty, which is the biggest killer of all." We will be paying the price for years.
