Artisan melts and things were going pretty good the restaurant's popularity grew business was great customers were satisfied and Matt was thinking about expanding and then the Virginia state government decided to shut everything down in March of 2020 for for the safety of Virginians of course because adding government to the equation always makes things better Freer more prosperous and less oppressive it's always about your safety and it's never about removing freedoms and controlling the masses now Matt's restaurant has repeatedly made headlines for defying Virginia's convid 1984

out what you're actually doing to your country you won't be able to sleep well at night trust me it may not hit you today but it'll hit you it'll hit you eventually and I hope you can live with yourself and that's what this is all about when an individual sheds his humanity and puts on that uniform when they intrude upon the peaceful lives of their fellow human beings under the guise of public health and safety when they tarantically decide that following orders is far more important than doing the things they know to be right they begin to lie to themselves convincing their own hearts that they are the good guys and everybody who resists their violently enforced will are the bad guys this is how countries descend into totalitarianism this is how even the enforcers and the enforcers families begin to lose their rights their livelihoods and their lives I spent many years of my life overseas fighting for my country just to come home and have the same government that I fought for destroy everything that I've worked my entire life for but you're just doing your job man just doing your job I have no idea how any of you guys can live with yourselves every day and lay your head down on your pillow and sleep soundly knowing that sure contributed to the destruction of the United States of America that's what you're doing right now you're not protecting and serving anything and I've got a lot of respect for the police a lot of respect for police officers who put their lives on the line every day for me but this is not what that uniform is about it's not what you're doing right now is government overreach what you're doing right now is supporting the tyrannical government is tyranny and you're involved in it you're complicit with it [Music] and it wouldn't be happening if all of you stood up if all of you stood up and said I'm not I'm not doing that I'm not contributing to that I'm not going to be involved in that the Constitution means more to me than my self-preservation if any of you guys had the balls to stand up and say that and fight for that this would not be going on right now because if they had nobody to come out and enforce these unconstitutional mandates nobody would be doing it they wouldn't do it themselves I promise you that I don't even know how you could say this any better guys the only thing that gives any law its teeth or power is when somebody steps up and says yes Mr politician I'll be your Hitman I'll be the guy who strips that family over there of its right to live in peace I'll be the one who economically terrorizes someone when I wouldn't want that done to me that's the only reason we're experiencing The Tyranny we're seeing in this land or any land people sell their souls for a paycheck that rewards them temporarily for initiating Force violence theft brutality and coercion on other people who just want to be left alone but it's because of weak-minded Americans so-called Americans doing exactly what you guys are doing right now is why we're in the situation that we're in as a country from weak-minded Americans the self-preservation means more to you than what that uniform that you're wearing is supposed to mean questions you start I need to stop what this is my restaurant man I need to stop what you're not right what is this line right here what is this line right here though why is it this line that I can't go past it ain't a platform it's not a platform I'm using this to make sure this doesn't happen to anybody else ever again from a distance why not past this line what is it what is this arbitrary line that you just made up why can't I pass this because you said so you know what you sound like you sound like the government you said I like the government that I'm fighting against because I said so what am I obstructing what am I obstructing I'm standing still I'm talking I have every right to talk it's called the First Amendment it's called It's called The First Amendment you're gonna take that away from me as well he just said he's going to arrest me I want to know for what or what grounds on what grounds are you going to arrest me you don't know on what grounds what am I extracting what am I obstructing you just said you're going to rest before obstruction what am I obstructing can you answer my question you didn't answer I'm listening to you POS systems okay we're asking permissions for you to log in so that they can review this okay this will make the process faster if you don't want to give us a password we're not going to tell you you have to do it what do you need to password to my POS system for to see if I'm selling alcohol I'm telling you right now to your face I'm selling alcohol because I didn't violate any laws I've been following every ABC law that I agreed to follow when I obtain my abc license what I will not follow is unconstitutional mandates I will not follow them ever I'll die for the Constitution I'll die for the United States of America none of these gentlemen they will so because they're all cowards what do you need to see it for I'm telling you I'm selling alcohol there's all the proof you need that's all the proof you need let's be clear about what's happening right here we've got a group of well-armed cowards surrounding a man of Courage who's being victimized by the Agents of the state Matt Strickland hasn't done anything wrong he hasn't stolen from anybody he hasn't threatened anybody he hasn't harmed anybody there are murders rapes thefts and human trafficking going on all over Virginia and in this country and yet these cops somehow for some reason choose to just follow orders and shamefully strip this man's freedoms and livelihood from it if you can think of anything more disgusting leave it in the comments section the search Point says we can obtain those records will you provide us the password and allow us the username or password to get into the system hey baby all right come on all these police officers in here man for one man for one man all these police officers in here from one man and I'm using this as a platform a platform I can't believe you would say something like that man this has nothing to do with the platform this has something to do with making sure this doesn't happen to anybody else ever again and the reason why you can't say that's because you've been brainwashed man you've been brainwashed into self-preservation I'm just doing my job one day you realize man what you're doing is not right and you're setting your kids up for failure in the back yeah you need those all right I'll get those for you all right what else you need I'm gonna grab them for you what else do you need you're in the office yeah what else what else do you need okay all right and where you taking all this stuff off being seized we're taking it back to your headquarters as far as Commission of our investigation taking all the alcoholics on premises taking it all the eggs this cop says we're going to be transparent with you we're taking it all in other words we're stealing all of your alcohol inventory and we're gonna do it on video because we're the authority these men in uniform are acting in the capacity of Thieves for the state so you realize you're doing this because I didn't follow cover mandates right you guys agree with Covenant

Virginia we're gonna actually no matter if the premise was unconstitutional or illegal that's above your pay grade that's a great excuse as well great excuse okay just doing your job all right that's what I'm talking about man this yeah you guys see this we just elected a republican so-called conservative Governor so-called conservative lieutenant governor attorney general House of delegates and we're still being prosecuted for not following covet mandates folks you tell me what's wrong with this country what's wrong with this country is nobody has a backbone nobody is actually willing to stand up for the Constitution all people want to do is act as self-preservation I'm just doing my job this is insane man nothing gets fixed in this country with you guys having that mentality let me get these records this gentlemen are asking for okay guys I'll leave the links to Matt's Facebook page the restaurant website and to the relevant state agencies involved in this tyrannical action against a fellow American in the description and in the pinned comment leave your thoughts about this and share this video so we can bring light to what's going on if we don't stand up against this tyranny it's just a matter of time before the Jack boot thugs are at your door to take away your freedoms and the lives of your family I'll see you in the next video foreign [Applause] [Music]
