but unfortunately for dave morris, he is not married to ilhan omar.e doesn't run abortion in black neighborhoods or invite nancy pelosi to the opera at the kennedy center. so instead, dave morris has been forced to operate illegally just to survive. here is what he told us. >> i had some hope, they were talking a two-point trillion dollar stemless package to help the american people. and when i look at maybe 120 million families in this country, 120 million households, and i figured, you know, i could give everybody maybe $10,000, every household, that is a lot of money. instead, that money went all different directions, to campaign donors, special interest groups, may be couple of museums, and it didn't get what was supposed to go. i never got any of it, and a small business owners like me never got any of it. that's our money. >> tucker: that's our money. well, it is. but here's the good news. pretty soon, it will be worth much. the truth is, you can't keep printing trillions of dollars without getting serious inflation. serious inflation is guarant

david: i suspect that man his name dave morris, i would suspect he needs a lot less than $35 million. taxpayer perspective, i would be willing to give them from the 35 million that went to a political consulting firm and if they had any shame they would write a check right now and send it to dave morris. send it to the hard-core american business communities, small business communities that is the backbone on the american economy. they need the money, not political consultants. it's just outrageous, you thinking for the worse and then something like this happens. thank you very much for being here. the attorney for the staten island bar owner arrested for refusing to stop spending indoors, as restaurants go under unbelievable rates. a more lockdowns on the way. stay with us. wow! what'd you get, ryan? it's customized home insurance from liberty mutual! what does it do bud? it customizes our home insurance so we only pay for what we need! and what did you get, mike? i got a bike. only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪ david: small businesses under siege as

tonight, we will devote most of the hour to highlighting the story so people like alicia and dave morrisouldn't go along with this. who stood up for their freedom even in the face of profound personal and financial cost. these people would not have been lawbreaker six months ago, we force them to become that. but before we get to their story, we want to take it back to christmas 1918. many ways, 1918 was a very different time, in harsher world back then. no internet to entertain us, huber eats her door -- to bring us food. modern medicine was a long way off and people died of minor infections. at the same time, millions of americans were confronting the very same things today. a global pandemic, government imposed lock downs, financial ruins and then sometimes death. this is why the british newspaper said to its audience at the time. "for life on this old planet will always be a struggle and for most of us, a bitter and triumphant struggle. to all our readers, a happy christmas and a bright and hopeful new year." well put. we send the same wishes to you tonight. adam corolla is the autho

last week we spoke to a man called dave morris, he owns a restaurant in the midwest -- he could've usedome help.no if the government shutdown his business and now he's going under. unfortunately, he is not married to ilhan omar. he doesn't run abortion mills in black neighborhoods or invite nancy pelosi to the opera at the kennedy center. here's what he told us. >> i had some hope when they were talking eight to trillion dollar stimulus package to help the american people and when i look at maybe 120 million families in this country, 120 million households i figured i would get everybody $10,000, that's a lot of money. instead that money went all different directions, it went to campaign donors, special interest groups, may be couple museums and it didn't get where it was supposed to go -- i never got any of it and small business owners likely never got any of it, that's our money. >> tucker: itll is but here's the good news -- pretty soon it won't be worth much. the truth is you can't keep printing trillions of dollars without getting serious inflation. serious inflation is guaranteed,

dave morris, the owner of the daily grind coffee. welcome and thank you for being here.hink we all watched that and we hear your struggle. we hear your passion. what is your message? what were you trying to get out? >> good morning, to you. my message is this. as an american and as i watch my american people crumble down here at the ground level, i'm upset and i think a lot of americans are with me at the fact my government, i have a two-party controlling system that just can't get along and they want to fight like little kindergartners. when they got $2 trillion and helping the people get through this pandemic i want to know where the money went. a lot of us want to know where the money went. i hope in a time when we just witnessed the most expensive presidential campaign process in the history of the world, man, please tell me that money didn't go to the campaign coffers. we're upset that they have abandoned the small businesses at a time we may be witnessing the worst pandemic in my lifetime and gave us no help. the help went everywhere but where it should have been.

dave morris is a restaurant owner in michigan.elt compelledded to put in his two cents worth of revolt. watch this. >> my government leaders have abandoned me. >> are you, are you the owner? >> $4 trillion of stimulus money, and they gave it to who? special interest groups and campaign donors. wake up, stand up! this is america, be free. give us the money to shut this thing down and calm this virus, but don't take it out on small business. stuart: and then he told tucker carlson last night we've got to come out fighting. strong words. all week long we've brought you stories of lockdown resistance and defiance. the revolt is growing. los angeles county's sheriff will not enforce l.a.'s soon-expected stay at home order. he won't shut down businesses. he says, quote, they've had the rug yanked out from under them. that's a disservice. i don't want to make them more miserableened quote from the sheriff. pasadena will allow outdoor dining, deifying the ban. beverly hills demands the withdrawal of all restrictions. weld county, colorado
