Governor Kristi Noem of South Dakota reviews South Dakota's reaction to the Covid emergency:
"Covid didn't crush the economy - Government crushed the economy"
"South Dakota is the only state in America that never ordered a single business or church to close, we never instituted a shelter-in-place order, we never mandated that people wear a mask, we never even defined what an "essential business" is because I don't believe that the governors have the authority to tell you that your business isn't essential"
"In South Dakota I provided all of the information that we had to our people, and then I trusted them to make the best decisions for themselves, for their families, and in turn their communities"
"Dr Fauci told me that on my worst day I would have 10,000 patients in my hospitals - on our worst day, we had a little over 600"
"The people themselves are responsible for their health and well-being"
This is just the intro - there is a great deal more.
"So what can you do right now? It's really simple. You can be bold. You can show up. Debate these ideas, persuade your neighbours. This pandemic illustrated that many politicians have a totally different vision for government than what the founders laid out.
"It was once said that the Left takes its vision seriously - more seriously than it takes the rights of other people. They want to be our shepherds, but that requires us to be the sheep. Let it be heard loud and clear from us right now - We will not be sheep"
Can we please have her for the UK when she's done with South Dakota?
