Summary:

In early March 2020, Donald Trump was saying very sensible things about the danger of trying to lock down the entire country to contain Covid-19. Then, one day, he abruptly changed his mind and became pro-lockdown. Governor Andrew Cuomo of New York and Dr. Anthony Fauci also responded sensibly to the pandemic initially before suddenly embracing “the China solution.” What caused this drastic change of approach and why is no one curious about it? Jeffrey Tucker of the Brownstone Institute joins Tom to discuss.
