578. Ian Smith | The Gym Owner Who Said "No" to Lockdowns Runs for Congress

In this week's Lions of Liberty, Marc welcomes in Ian Smith, the New Jersey gym owner who defied the Governor's orders to stay closed during COVID lockdowns. Ian explains how he put every last piece of himself into starting his own personal fitness business and opening his own gym, only to be told that he had to close it all down indefinitely due to COVID. After he and his business partner agreed to reopen, they and their customers suffered countless fines, violations, arrest, changed locks and harassment by the State of New Jersey, yet they steadfastly remained open nonetheless. Now, Ian runs for Congress to take that same spirit of defying tyranny straight to Washington, DC. Hear him ROAR!
