Bob Martin, owner of Stag barbershop in Snohomish, Wash., is defying the governor's stay-at-home order and continuing to cut hair.
===
It’s fair to say my conversation with Snohomish barber Bob Martin was my most polarizing interview in a long, long time.
===
I was flooded with texts and e-mails after I talked with Barber Bob on Monday’s show. About 20% think he’s a dangerous man who should be forcibly shut down by the government. About 80% love his rebellion and believe he represents a growing number of business owners and unemployed people who want – need – to get back to work.
===
Nearly two weeks ago, Bob decided to violate Jay Inslee’s stay-at-home order and went back to cutting hair at the Stag barbershop in Snohomish. It’s all he knows to do. He’s been a barber since 1960 when the Marines told him that was one of his new assignments.

===
He also has two disabled vets he’s hired to work alongside him at The Stag. He told me “those boys have kids – they need to get back to work.”
===
I asked him why he’s open in defiance of Jay Inslee.
===
“We have a dimwit for a governor. He’s tried to make us believe that he has some authority. And I believe Bill Gates is the money behind him pulling his strings like he’s a puppet … I have no respect for him.”
===
Yes, Bob thinks the Covid 19 death count is exaggerated and that shady operatives are manufacturing this economic crisis.
===
He honored the stay-at-home order at first, but then had had enough.
===
“Giving the benefit of the doubt, you don’t know how much truth is involved. As time went on, it was evident there was no truth to what they were trying to cram down our throat. I was at the point where I couldn’t swallow anymore.”
===
“All the barbers need to open up their shops and don’t be afraid,” Bob said. “I’m not afraid of anything. I’m not going to let that pansy-*** (Inslee) tell me what to do.” -
Good for him! He's a great example for others to emulate.

It's good to see people who are capable of thinking for themselves

Emulating people who believe conspiracy theories isn't a route I'd recommend. Gates isn't an Inslee backer and isn't pulling Inslee's strings. Like a lot of Governors, Inslee is following the lead of scientists trained at the CDC. So is Trump (to a degree).
Snohomish is a growing community, but there still are a lot of folks who could have been cast in Deliverance, including Barber Bob. -

You nerds realize there is no virus, I hope.
This is the biggest scam ever. MDs just hyping ventilators to make $$. Doctors are a disgrace. THERE IS NO VIRUS!!
Except that the doctors aren't selling the vents. And if there is no virus, what is killing the patients? -
What is with the Bill Gates puppet master paranoia? I’ve seen the same thing here in regards to Gates controlling Fauci, now Bob is saying Gates controls Inslee. Is this a conspiracy that is out there?

Everything I do is "grandfathered in".

Has the government tried to act against him?

The Snohomish county sheriff has declared it a sanctuary city from the governor's orders because he considers them unconstitutional -

And no attempt by the governor to overrule? This is the way to go, then. A dictator with no iron-fist to crush dissent will cave right away in the face of mass disobedience. -

This is nothing. There is a bigger story in Dallas for you idiots. The lady who opened her salon went to court today. All she had to do is apologize and close down till Friday. She refused and went right to jail along with a $7,000 fine.
